    Chapter 1: Life has become a game, and you are all NPCs (yo, that rhymes!)

    Waking up with a start, Chen Cang felt like the heavens had played a joke on him!


    Emergency night shifts always made one¡¯s heart race. After finishing the overnight duty, Chen Cang finally had some time to rest. He planned to go home and sleep, but he was so tired that he couldn¡¯t even keep his eyes open and ended up dozing off in the duty room.


    ¡°Chen Cang, Chen Cang, get up quickly. An emergency patient has arrived, you need to help with a dressing change.¡±


    Even with his eyes closed, Chen Cang knew this somewhat deep voice belonged to his senior physician, Chen Bingsheng.


    Two years in the emergency department had given Chen Cang the ability to respond groggily even while asleep: ¡°No, I¡¯m too tired. I need to sleep a little more.¡±


    However, as soon as Chen Cang finished speaking, a voice as if from the depths of his soul rang out:


    [Ding! NPC senior physician Chen Bingsheng¡¯s task: Perform a dressing change and debridement for an emergency patient. Task completion reward: 1. 20 RMB. 2. Dressing change experience +20. 3. Experience +20.]


    Chen Cang was suddenly wide awake!


    He hurriedly sat up in bed and looked at Chen Bingsheng with a panicked expression, ¡°Boss, what did you just say?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng was taken aback, ¡°An outpatient with a trauma has arrived, you need to go and do the debridement quickly. I have an operation coming up and can¡¯t make it.¡±


    Suddenly, the voice continued:


    [Ding! NPC senior physician Chen Bingsheng¡¯s task: Perform a dressing change and debridement for an emergency patient. Task completion reward: 1. 20 RMB. 2. Dressing change experience +20. 3. Experience +20.]


    [Do you accept? Yes! No!]


    The voice persisted!


    What the hell is going on with me?


    Has overtime turned me into an idiot?


    No way!


    The medical world is no stranger to sudden deaths of prominent figures, from medical students preparing for exams to high-ranking individuals who frequently travel abroad to present scholarly papers and attend academic conferences. Cases of deaths due to insufficient rest occur from time to time.


    Have I hallucinated from too much overtime?


    Seeing the continuously echoing ¡°Yes? No?¡± in his mind,


    Chen Cang suddenly realized that this was a big deal; it was no longer just about whether to change dressings or do overtime. The severity of the situation had implications for his sustainable future development, threatening the effective implementation of the Healthy China strategy!


    With that thought, Chen Cang hurriedly got up and washed his face several times with cold water.


    Unfortunately, the cold water didn¡¯t make the voice in his head disappear; instead, it helped him to calm down.


    ¡°I¡¯m heading into surgery, you go and change the dressing, and cover my shift while you¡¯re at it.¡±


    [Ding! NPC senior physician Chen Bingsheng¡¯s task: Cover his shift while Chen Bingsheng is in surgery. Task completion reward: 1. 100 RMB; 2. Chen Bingsheng¡¯s favorability +2. 3. Experience +30.]


    Chen Bingsheng left after dropping those words.


    And left Chen Cang with another task!


    Now, with sleepiness completely gone, he got up, put on his white coat, and made a tough decision.


    Afterwards, he accepted both tasks by choosing ¡®Yes¡¯ to all.


    He wanted to see if this was just a delusion caused by brain damage or the legendary golden thigh system.


    Chen Cang was a doctor, but he was also familiar with novels and games and thus understood such concepts quite well.


    As he took a deep breath in front of the mirror, he suddenly saw an arrow above his head.


    Upon reflection, Chen Cang recalled that earlier his senior physician Chen Bingsheng had had a question mark over his head!


    It seemed¡­ it seemed somewhat similar to the symbols above NPCs¡¯ heads when they issued tasks in games.


    But what was it above his own head? As Chen Cang thought about this, a virtual screen suddenly appeared before him.


    [Name: Chen Cang]


    [Profession: Doctor]


    [Level: LV12:960/1200 (Resident Doctor)]


    [Professional Skills:


    Wound Debridement and Dressing: Intermediate: 1970/2000


    Skin Wound Suturing: Intermediate: 1679/2000


    Tendon Suturing: Beginner: 10/2000


    Vascular Suturing: Intermediate: 102/2000


    Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Intermediate: 1500/2000


    Electrocardiogram Interpretation: Intermediate: 1490/2000]


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded. These were his attributes?


    Damn!


    Chen Cang realized something¡ªhe might be on the brink of making a fortune!


    This was exactly like the online game he had been playing a while ago!


    Only¡­ it seemed that the game¡¯s system had entered the real world.


    First he needed to change the patient¡¯s dressing, and then he would study this thoroughly later on.


    After leaving the room, Chen Cang went to the nurse¡¯s station and asked, ¡°Where is the patient that Dr. Chen asked to have their dressing changed?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s in the hall, I¡¯ll go and call him, Dr. Chen, please wait in the treatment room for a moment.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Okay, thank you for the trouble.¡±


    While waiting for the patient, Chen Cang noticed that every person around him had either an arrow or a question mark above their head.


    The arrows were ordinary, and Chen Cang could casually click to view basic information about others.


    For instance, the young nurse Qin Yali.


    [A nurse who just recently joined the hospital and is currently undergoing her internship.]


    It was impossible to look in detail at someone else¡¯s specific skills and information.


    However, those with [?] symbols above their heads likely had a quest. Upon clicking, Chen Cang received a system prompt:


    [Zhang Xiaoyan seems to need your help with something. Talking to her might trigger a quest.]


    Although Chen Cang kept his face unchanged and appeared calm, at that moment, he was even more convinced that he had acquired an amazing system.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Qin Yali came in with a patient.


    ¡°Dr. Chen, this is the patient. Uh¡­ may I assist you?¡± Qin Yali looked hopeful; she had been in the emergency department for a while, always at triage and directing patient flow and had never actually dealt with or treated injuries.


    [Ding! NPC Qin Yali¡¯s request quest: Let Qin Yali assist you in treating the injury. Reward: 1. 10 yuan in RMB, 2. Favorability from Qin Yali +10.]


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Sure, I have no one else to help at the moment, so you can assist me.¡±


    This quest is not to be missed; it¡¯s easy money worth a meal!


    A conscientious system!


    Upon hearing that, Qin Yali immediately became cheerful and said excitedly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go get the dressing kit.¡±


    At that moment, Chen Cang took a closer look at the patient and noticed a [?] above his head.


    The patient was currently wearing shorts, with a large gash on his left knee, looking bloody and quite startling.


    [Zhang Guosheng fell off his electric bike and scraped his knee. A closer examination might trigger a quest.]


    Chen Cang leaned down to look at the wound; it was just a superficial scrape, and the injury wasn¡¯t deep. Despite looking bloody, it wasn¡¯t a difficult wound to deal with: ¡°Did you scrape this while riding your bike?¡±


    Zhang Guosheng was hissing in pain and looked somewhat anguished, ¡°Yeah, there was sand at the corner. I slipped on it accidentally, and it really hurts, doctor¡­ Is it serious?¡±


    After examining the wound for a while, Chen Cang reassured him, ¡°It¡¯s not serious. It¡¯s just superficial, no need to worry. If it really reached the bone, you wouldn¡¯t have been able to walk here. I¡¯ll clean the wound for you and change the dressing; a bandage should do.¡±


    Zhang Guosheng nodded hurriedly, ¡°Thank you, doctor!¡±


    [Ding! Patient Zhang Guosheng has a knee scrape and requests prompt treatment. Rewards for completion: 1. 20 yuan in RMB, 2. Wound dressing experience +20, 3. Experience +30.]


    After asking the patient to lie on the treatment bed, Chen Cang washed his hands, opened the dressing kit, put on disposable gloves, and said to the patient, ¡°Hang in there for a bit; it might hurt soon.¡±


    Zhang Guosheng grimaced, ¡°Alright¡­ but, doctor, please be gentle; I¡¯m really sensitive to pain.¡±


    Zhang Guosheng, in his fifties, admitted his fear of pain naturally, without any hint of pretension.


    As Chen Cang cleaned the wound, he found some fine sand embedded under the skin, requiring tweezers to remove, which was going to be quite painful.


    Qin Yali, during her internship, had been through these procedures and even spent some time in the operating room. However, since coming to this hospital, she had always been working in emergency triage where she was super busy at times, but at other times not so much, mainly just bored. Being young and with a curious mind, she wanted to get involved in dressing changes, as having more skills can¡¯t hurt.


    Watching Chen Cang treat the injury, Qin Yali held her breath.


    ¡°Sterile gauze pad, give me two!¡±


    ¡°Saline solution, rinse it.¡±


    ¡°Iodophor.¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Cang was proficient in his work, and this kind of injury was basic wound cleaning and dressing. Although it looked terrifying, the wound would scab over quickly and wouldn¡¯t take long to heal.


    Chen Cang¡¯s intermediate wound dressing technique was learned from senior physician Chen Bingsheng, who had mentored him for a year or two. Chen Cang¡¯s skills were mostly hand-taught by Chen Bingsheng.


    Chen Cang was a quick learner, always diligent and hands-on.


    Zhang Guosheng looked at his bandaged left knee and smiled, ¡°Young doctor, you¡¯re skilled! It hardly hurt at all. Last year, I had the same injury on my right knee, also treated here, and it was so painful!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled but didn¡¯t dwell on who had dressed the wound back then, ¡°It seems you¡¯ve fallen more than once then. Be careful in the future. As you age, your bones get more fragile, so you need to be more careful, uncle. I can¡¯t chat with you any longer as I have to go on duty. Yali, please clean up for me; I¡¯m going to take over the duty shift for Dr. Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang gave Zhang Guosheng no opportunity to complain. What¡¯s taboo in a hospital?


    It¡¯s criticizing one doctor in front of another. Chen Cang wasn¡¯t naive; such flattery wasn¡¯t addictive for him, so he just smiled at any comments about who dressed wounds well or poorly.


    Qin Yali nodded, ¡°Okay, Dr. Chen, you go ahead with your work. I¡¯ll clean up.¡±


    After Chen Cang left, he went to the office and closed the door.


    [Ding! Completed NPC Chen Bingsheng¡¯s dressing quest, received 20 yuan in RMB, 20 points of dressing experience, and 30 experience points.]


    [Ding! Completed NPC Qin Yali¡¯s dressing quest, received 10 yuan in RMB, and increased Qin Yali¡¯s favorability by +10.]


    [Ding! Completed patient Zhang Guosheng¡¯s treatment quest, received 20 yuan in RMB, 20 points of dressing experience, and 30 experience points.]


    With the three notifications sounding off, Chen Cang suddenly heard his phone vibrating.


    Upon checking it, it was a message from Alipay announcing a prize win.


    After making a payment via Alipay a few days earlier, he had received a lottery card, and now he had just won a 50-yuan cash red packet.


    Looking at the tangible cash in his hand, Chen Cang suddenly realized that his days of prosperity had arrived!

    Chapter 2: The Opportunity to Be Promoted


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Bingsheng returned at one o¡¯clock in the afternoon, seeing Chen Cang still in the office without a hint of guilt, ¡°Ah, still here? I thought you¡¯d left.¡±


    Chen Cang somewhat helplessly, ¡°Boss, that surgery took you three hours, weren¡¯t you just removing an appendix? Three hours for an appendix¡­ How heavy was it?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng laughed heartily, ¡°You rascal, you make such a fuss when you¡¯re on duty. Come on, let¡¯s go eat.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Boss, today it¡¯s my treat.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng suddenly surprised, ¡°Oh! Struck it rich?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°No, I¡¯m just happy today. Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re not eating at the canteen today, we¡¯ll go to Old Liu¡¯s restaurant.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng, ¡°Let me change my clothes and wash my hands, I¡¯ve got something to talk to you about today.¡±


    Old Liu¡¯s restaurant, named Liu Mama¡¯s Restaurant, was diagonally across from the hospital, a place owned by the head nurse of the general surgery department of the hospital, and hospital staff frequently dined there, so the business was quite good.


    By this time, it was past the lunch rush, so there weren¡¯t many people. When Chen Bingsheng and Chen Cang walked in, the auntie greeted them with a smile, ¡°Big Chen, Little Chen, you¡¯re late again, the emergency department is always so busy.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng smiled, ¡°Auntie, two big bowls of noodles, please.¡±


    Chen Cang chimed in, ¡°Plus a cold dish, two marinated eggs, and two pieces of bean curd.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Cang quickly picked up his phone, scanned the code to pay with practiced ease¡ªit wasn¡¯t expensive, just thirty-five yuan.


    Seeing Chen Cang paying, the auntie teased, ¡°Oh, Little Chen¡¯s come into money today?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m just happy today.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng didn¡¯t stop him, and they both took a seat in a quiet corner.


    Chen Bingsheng lit a cigarette, ¡°I finished the surgery this morning and happened to run into the director and Tan, who were preparing for a big surgery, so I pitched in as an assistant. I overheard them discussing something¡ªour hospital might be going through some staff changes soon, with some department-employed personnel possibly switching to hospital contracts. You¡¯d better prepare yourself.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, his eyes lighting up immediately, ¡°Really?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng exhaled a smoke ring, ¡°Of course, why would I lie to you?¡±


    Chen Cang had come to work at the Emergency Department of the Provincial Second Hospital after getting his bachelor¡¯s degree, as part of a recruitment drive for temporary staff, which is to say, department-employed personnel. Those in the Emergency Department were hired separately, the pay was average, just a basic salary of 2200 yuan a month, without any benefits or performance bonuses. Plainly speaking, he was just there to do odd jobs.


    After all, at a large hospital like the Provincial Second Hospital, public recruitment for formal staff positions in public institutions typically started with postgraduates, and these days, it¡¯s mostly PhDs.


    For a bachelor¡¯s graduate hoping to work at a major hospital, temporary work was the only option.


    In Anyang, the provincial capital of Dongyang Province, although as a second-tier city it wasn¡¯t as high-pressured as the megacities, for a kid like Chen Cang from the countryside, it was still somewhat overwhelming.


    His plan was to learn some skills for a few years here and head back home once he reached a mid-level position.


    Buying a house here?


    At fifteen thousand yuan per square meter, Chen Cang didn¡¯t entertain the thought at all.


    But Chen Bingsheng¡¯s words sent Chen Cang¡¯s mind spinning. Though hospital contract positions may not compare with civil service posts, under the current backdrop of medical reform, contracts and civil service positions both offered equal pay for equal work. More importantly, performance bonuses were available, allowing one to earn more by doing more.


    In this hospital, one didn¡¯t just earn a basic salary; earnings were all about performance and bonuses. This news instantly excited Chen Cang.


    Chen Bingsheng: ¡°You get ready, there must be about eighty temporary workers in our hospital, not a hundred, and I reckon there will be a maximum of about twenty spots available. Show your best, and I¡¯ll see if I can have a word with the director and Tan Yuan to put in a good word for you.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled gratefully: ¡°Hehe, thanks a lot, boss.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng cursed with a smile: ¡°Stop with the lip service, hurry up and eat before you go back to catch some sleep.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, picked up his phone, and opened Alipay¡¯s Yu¡¯E Bao, which currently had 21,052.5 yuan. This was the money Chen Cang had saved over two years.


    Earning just over twenty thousand in a year, Chen Cang had managed to save two thousand after deducting food, drink, and rent over two years; all this was scrimped and saved.


    Looking at his friend Chen Bingsheng¡¯s profile picture, Chen Cang directly transferred 20,000 yuan.


    He knew Chen Bingsheng was good to him, but good is one thing; dealing with matters doesn¡¯t come free, right? He couldn¡¯t let the guy pay out of his pocket to take care of his business, could he?


    That¡¯s not the way it works!


    Chen Bingsheng heard his phone beep, picked it up, and after seeing the transfer, his face immediately fell. He glared at Chen Cang: ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled: ¡°Boss, I¡¯m a stranger in a strange land, I don¡¯t know anyone, and have no connections. This is all the money I have. Please help me out, see if you can do something. I can¡¯t let you pay for things out of your own pocket, right?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng was displeased and transferred the money back with a dark face: ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about this matter. Don¡¯t get involved in any crooked business with me either. Just work on improving your skills. After all, when the hospital considers for permanent positions, it ultimately looks at capability. Starting tomorrow, you should perform some surgeries on your own. It¡¯s been two years, and it¡¯s time you took the lead to learn.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re in the surgical system. I reckon the assessment will involve basic surgeries and basic surgical operations. I¡¯m confident about your fundamentals, but you still need to work on your surgical skills.¡±


    The two ate quickly; Chen Bingsheng had to work in the afternoon and went back to the hospital, while Chen Cang, having just finished a night shift, had the afternoon off and needed to catch up on sleep.


    But once home, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t sleep. After all, he had received such a system, and it would be a shame not to figure it out, a disservice to the good fortune he had cultivated over several lifetimes.


    Being a doctor was understandable, but what did it mean to be a level 12 in his profession?


    ¡°Ding! Notification: Levels 1-20 are for resident physicians, levels 20-40 for attending physicians, levels 40-60 for associate chief physicians, levels 60-80 for chief physicians. Levels 80-90 are for provincial distinguished physicians, and levels 90-100 for national distinguished physicians. You can increase your professional level by earning experience points. Note: Higher levels enable you to learn advanced professional skills.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback. So that was what it meant. He was currently at level 12, which meant he was at the resident physician stage.


    And what about the level of his professional skills?


    ¡°Ding! Professional skill levels are categorized as: Junior, Intermediate, Senior, Master, and Perfect. Note: Skills above Senior level will have special attributes.¡±


    Chen Cang was baffled. What were special attributes?


    After a while, the system offered no further hints, indicating it was up to him to explore on his own.


    And what about favorability?


    Favorability had come up today, so there should be some explanation, right?


    ¡°Ding! A favorability level of 60 allows you to view other people¡¯s attributes and triggers more tasks. Please explore the details in practice.¡±


    Chen Cang opened his attribute panel and suddenly noticed that his professional skill ¡°Wound Dressing and Debridement: 2010/2000 (upgradable)¡± had reached the standard for an upgrade.

 Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Daily Tasks

    Chapter 3: Daily Tasks


    Translator: 549690339


    [Ding! Congratulations, your basic skill of wound cleaning and dressing has advanced to a high level, granting a special effect attribute: 1. Reduce patient¡¯s pain during dressing change.]


    Chen Cang instantly understood!


    So this is the so-called special effect attribute?


    Reducing patients¡¯ pain is a skill, and although wound cleaning and dressing are the most common and basic surgical procedures at present, there is a world of difference between different practitioners.


    Take his senior physician, Chen Bingsheng, for example, patients remained very calm during his wound cleaning and dressing, and the infection rate among those treated by him was extremely low, with faster recovery. It seems this should be the special effect attribute.


    Chen Cang would bet that Chen Bingsheng¡¯s professional skills must be excellent and his favorability towards Chen Bingsheng should have reached 60 by now, right? Tomorrow, he would check out Big Brother Chen¡¯s attributes at the hospital to see just how splendid the attributes of a senior attending physician like him could be.


    [Ding! You have completed the task of taking Chen Bingsheng¡¯s shift and received: 1. 100 yuan; 2. +2 favorability from Chen Bingsheng; 3. +30 experience.]


    No sooner had the sound faded than Chen Cang saw a message light up in the WeChat group; someone had sent a red packet.


    Chen Cang had a brainwave¡ªgrab the red packet!


    Being quick is a basic quality of a surgeon, let alone someone like Chen Cang, who had been single for so many years¡­


    [Ding! You¡¯ve grabbed a hundred bucks!]


    Chen Cang smiled, it seems the system wouldn¡¯t let his money come from unclear sources. That¡¯s fine; at least he didn¡¯t have to worry about being investigated for financial irregularities. If they did probe, let¡¯s not even say they wouldn¡¯t understand, I wouldn¡¯t understand myself.


    This group was an internal group for the department, comprising staff from the emergency department.


    After grabbing the red packet, the group immediately came alive.


    ¡°Wow, Chen Cang, you¡¯re so ruthless, taking half all for yourself! 100 yuan, impressive.¡± A young nurse exclaimed.


    ¡°Yes! 100 yuan, Chen, you¡¯re quite lucky!¡± The nurse leader also laughed.


    Seeing everyone egging him on, Chen Cang felt a bit embarrassed and sent a laughing emoji: ¡°People who love to laugh never have bad luck!¡±


    At that moment, the originator of the red packet appeared, a doctor from the emergency department who had joined the same year as Chen Cang: Wang Qian.


    Wang Qian was also an emergency surgical doctor, but unlike others, he was officially on staff.


    Wang Qian chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m getting married next week, thanks everyone for the hard work during this time.¡±


    Though Wang Qian had a master¡¯s degree, after joining, he still followed his senior physician, An Yanjun, a strict hand surgeon and now an associate chief physician who paid particular attention to Wang Qian¡¯s development.


    Upon seeing that Wang Qian was getting married, everyone immediately joined in congratulating him. Wang Qian, a local, owned two or three apartments and drove an Audi A4 to work¡ªa young man with quite a status.


    ¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­


    Chen Cang got up early every day, had breakfast, went for a run, and then headed to his unit, and even then, he would arrive just a little after 7 AM, before the shift change.


    Just as he reached his unit, Chen Cang heard a voice in his head.


    [Ding! Daily task: Perform wound cleaning and dressing ten times. Task completion reward: +30 wound cleaning and dressing experience, +50 yuan.]


    Chen Cang was immediately thrilled¡ªcompleting this task would net him 50 bucks!


    Since it was a daily task, it looked like there should be one every day, which meant¡­ an extra 1500 yuan a month, on top of sporadic tasks. Suddenly, his livelihood was secured.


    There was some time left before the 8 o¡¯clock shift change, and in emergency medicine, there never seemed to be a quiet moment.


    An Yanjun just happened to walk in from outside. Seeing that Chen Cang had arrived, he was initially surprised and then greeted, ¡°Chen, you¡¯re quite early.¡±


    Chen Cang saw an Yanjun with a question mark over his head, his mind stirred, and he smiled, ¡°I¡¯m close by, so I came to see if I could help. Were you on the night shift last night, Mr. An?¡±


    An Yanjun nodded, ¡°Yeah, fortunately, nothing happened last night. I was just reflecting on how calm it was, and then a group of people showed up. Do you have something you need?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang hurriedly said, ¡°Not at all!¡±


    An Yanjun managed a rare smile, ¡°Then, could you help me change some dressings? Xiao Wang got married and left, and I can¡¯t manage alone.¡±


    Chen Cang quickly nodded, ¡°Of course!¡±


    [Ding! NPC task from An Yanjun: Assist An Yanjun in treating patients. You have gained +5 An Yanjun goodwill, +20 RMB, +30 experience.]


    Chen Cang was overjoyed inside!


    There really was a task: 20 bucks plus 30 points of experience.


    Comfortable!


    But when he arrived at the emergency hall, Chen Cang was stunned. A bunch of seven or eight-year-old kids was wailing loudly, and almost all of them had some scrapes and bruises.


    An Yanjun explained, ¡°This morning, a primary school bus malfunctioned and plunged into a ditch. A dozen kids suffered from bumps and abrasions. Fortunately, there were no serious issues. Help me with dressing their wounds, will you?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, walked into the crowd, and couldn¡¯t help feeling a pang of heartache seeing many of the kids¡¯ faces bloody.


    He said to the duty nurse, ¡°Sister Liu, please help organize things and calm the children, I¡¯ll take care of dressing their wounds.¡±


    Liu Yan nodded and stood up to comfort the children, while Chen Cang went straight into the treatment room.


    Liu Yan brought a little girl in with a gash on her arm that was bleeding quite a bit, apparently dressed with a temporary bandage.


    Seeing Chen Cang in a white coat, the girl¡¯s big eyes misted over, brimming with tears, ¡°Uncle, save me¡­ I¡¯m scared¡­¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s heart softened involuntarily, and he smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared, you just scratched the surface, it¡¯s going to be all right in a few days. Uncle will dress the wound, and you¡¯ll be fine. Ok?¡±


    The little girl, her eyes welling with tears, nodded earnestly, ¡°Niuniu isn¡¯t afraid of the pain.¡±


    Chen Cang hummed in response, then began to prepare for the treatment, peeling back the bandage that covered her arm. He saw a few cuts that were neither deep nor shallow, still oozing blood.


    He picked up sterile saline solution, cleaned the wound, and began to change the dressing.


    First was disinfection, which can easily be painful since iodine can sting the wound and cause pain.


    So Chen Cang was especially careful, considering it was a little girl whose pain tolerance was surely lower.


    But¡­


    It didn¡¯t seem as painful as imagined; the teardrops in the girl¡¯s eyes never fell.


    Then came the cleaning and dressing, which went smoothly!


    Afterward, Chen Cang made a bow out of gauze on the little girl¡¯s arm and said with a smile, ¡°Come back to Uncle in a couple of days, and I¡¯ll untie the bow to see how it is! Does it hurt?¡±


    The little girl shook her head, ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt; thank you, Uncle!¡±


    The little girl gave Chen Cang a bow.


    Chen Cang was startled, then smiled, ¡°Alright, go and rest, next child.¡±


    [Ding! Wound cleaning and dressing +1, dressing experience +5, experience +5, +5 RMB.]


    Chen Cang was taken aback, impressive indeed ¡ª others level up and explode coins by slaying monsters, while I level up and explode money by saving people.

 Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: I Want to Be the Chief Surgeon!

    Chapter 4: I Want to Be the Chief Surgeon!


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Cang worked swiftly, and the children didn¡¯t cry or make a fuss after they came in.


    An Yanjun had been worried that Chen Cang¡¯s dressing changes would be rough, causing the kids more pain!


    After all, young people are often careless, and with this thought in mind, An Yanjun sped up the dressing changes, hastily finishing them before hurrying over.


    But he was taken aback when he arrived.


    A few children who had been bandaged up were sitting there, behaving and staying quiet.


    An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Kids, were you scared? Does it hurt?¡±


    Several children shook their heads: ¡°No pain!¡±


    An Yanjun smiled, patted their heads, guessing that their fear of the unknown had scared them, especially since they hadn¡¯t been this quiet during his own dressing changes.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang was treating a little girl; her knee had a cut with fine dust embedded inside, which needed to be cleaned and the larger dust particles removed. An Yanjun frowned¡ªthis was a bit tricky to treat, the wound was quite serious, it must hurt!


    He was about to speak when Chen Cang already began debridement.


    But it was just a glance, and An Yanjun was struck dumb.


    One can tell a master by their first move!


    Chen Cang¡¯s debridement technique was somewhat special, wasn¡¯t it?


    Sure enough, the little girl just grimaced, her eyes brimming with tears, but she didn¡¯t cry out at all.


    An Yanjun also discovered that Chen Cang was very attentive to the delicate details when dealing with the wound!


    He was extremely careful in cleaning sensitive areas¡­ and by doing so, he could greatly reduce the patient¡¯s suffering, even alleviate the original pain to a certain extent through dressing changes!


    This was a test of a physician¡¯s skill.


    An Yanjun vaguely remembered that an expert from the Mayo Clinic had once specialized in this research: debridement and dressing changes are most bothersome because of the pain, and an excellent specialist can alleviate the pain at the injury site, reduce the patient¡¯s anxiety, and thereby promote faster healing.


    For this reason, An Yanjun had tried it as well, but seemingly with mediocre results; he hadn¡¯t effectively reduced the patients¡¯ suffering. Later, An Yanjun thought it was only a theoretical possibility.


    However, Chen Cang seemed to have really achieved it just now.


    In terms of lessening patients¡¯ pain, Little Chen was doing excellently.


    Thinking of this, An Yanjun was suddenly filled with curiosity, how did he do it?


    This was a topic worth researching; there could be a chance for exchange when there was time!


    [Ding! An Yanjun¡¯s favorable impression +5]


    Chen Cang, who was in the midst of changing dressings, paused and turned his head to see An Yanjun staring at his buttocks.


    Chen Cang immediately became very apprehensive!


    After all, he was the deputy director of the emergency department; if he came on strong, should I refuse?


    With this thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but clench his glutes and even shifted his stance.


    He resolved inwardly that he must never go to the same bathhouse with Director An; after all, one can¡¯t be too sure with slippery soap!


    ¡­


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the daily task and received +30 experience in wound dressing and debridement, and 50 RMB.]


    An Yanjun came in and glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Hard work today, let¡¯s go handover the shift together.¡±


    [Ding! NPC An Yanjun¡¯s mission complete, you have gained +5 in favorable impression from An Yanjun, 20 RMB, and +30 experience.]


    Chen Cang nodded, noticing An Yanjun¡¯s glance seemed somewhat fervent, he couldn¡¯t help but keep a scalpel¡¯s distance away¡­


    Just in case¡­ better be prepared!


    However, thinking of the morning¡¯s operations that directly brought him 120 RMB in income, Chen Cang felt quite delightful.


    Suddenly, an idea struck Chen Cang:


    [An Yanjun, a meticulous and serious surgeon, current favorability: 15.]


    Only 15 points of favorability?


    Not bad!


    Chen Cang finally felt relieved.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The so-called shift handover simply involved passing on the events of the previous night to today¡¯s duty doctor; there hadn¡¯t been any major incidents last night, so the handover went smoothly.


    After completing the handover, An Yanjun changed clothes and left work.


    Chen Cang, on the other hand, stared blankly at Chen Bingsheng.


    [Chen Bingsheng, a highly experienced surgeon, current favorability: 60. You can view detailed information!]


    Chen Cang was pleased; he could view detailed information.

    After reading this, Chen Cang was at a loss for words, with the phrase ¡°holy crap¡± lingering on his lips but not daring to say it out loud, for fear of creating a misunderstanding with Big Brother Chen.


    But¡­ these attributes are too luxurious!


    Currently, he only had some basic skills and hadn¡¯t even performed the most fundamental level-one surgeries. Comparing himself to Big Brother Chen, who had a plethora of level-one, level-two, and level-three surgeries, there was a long road ahead.


    However, Chen Bingsheng was already level 42, which, if compared based on actual ability, was equivalent to the level of an associate chief physician. Although he currently only had the title of an attending physician, his skills were substantial!


    It seems that the system¡¯s ratings were not based on a person¡¯s job title but rather divided fairly according to their capabilities.


    There was just one thing Chen Cang couldn¡¯t understand: did transitioning from a resident doctor to an attending doctor require a job transfer??? And possibly, a dedicated certificate?!


    Generally, hospitals categorize surgeries into four levels according to their difficulty, size, and whether they have been introduced:


    Level-one surgery: Simple and minor operations.


    Level-two surgery: Minor and simple intermediate operations.


    Level-three surgery: Intermediate and general major operations.


    Level-four surgery: Difficult or severe major operations and newly introduced operations.


    And different levels of surgery also require doctors of corresponding levels of experience. For example,


    Low seniority physicians, can be understood as those at the resident doctor level: The range of surgeries is limited to level-one.


    High seniority physicians including attending physicians: The range of surgeries is limited to level-two, and with guidance from a physician of an advanced attending level or higher, level-three surgeries may be performed.


    High seniority attending physicians: The range of surgeries is limited to level-three, and with guidance from a department head or chief physician, level-four surgeries may be performed.


    Department heads, associate chief physicians: The range of surgeries is limited to level-four, and when there are many surgeries specific to their specialty, level-three surgeries may be performed.


    Hence, Chen Cang could only perform level-one surgeries for the time being. Of course, with Big Brother Bingsheng overseeing, he could also perform level-two surgeries.


    Chen Bingsheng turned around after seeing Chen Cang staring at him for a long while, feeling somewhat creeped out. What¡¯s with this kid!


    ¡°Xiao Chen! Come with me to round on the patients. There are two surgeries later, and you¡¯ll be joining me.¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Okay!¡±


    But¡­ why wasn¡¯t there a mission prompt?


    Chen Cang was puzzled.


    The emergency department includes wards, and the Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s emergency department has sixty beds. It¡¯s a provincial key department and also a hub for the Anyang City 120 Emergency Center. It¡¯s usually very busy.


    Though sixty beds may seem like plenty, they are always full, with Bingsheng managing twelve patients under him.


    Emergency inpatients don¡¯t stay very long. Typically, once their condition stabilizes, they are transferred to other departments.


    For those whose conditions don¡¯t stabilize¡­ they either are transferred to another hospital or end up at the funeral home. Either way, they don¡¯t stay in the emergency department for long.


    Making rounds took about an hour, with Chen Cang usually responsible for handling patient orders and writing medical records, while Bingsheng went into surgery.


    But today, after finishing the rounds, Bingsheng said to Cang: ¡°We have two operations this morning, bed numbers 19 and 21. Both patients have acute appendicitis and are scheduled for surgery. You¡¯ve seen a lot already. Today you¡¯ll observe one and perform the other!¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Cang immediately became nervous.


    Although he often watched appendectomy surgeries and even thought they were simple, the thought of actually leading one made him anxious.


    After all, there is a big difference between a head chef and a sous chef.


    Of course, what Chen Cang felt more was excitement!


    Will he finally get to operate?


    The feeling of a ¡°first time¡± was overwhelming in his heart and wouldn¡¯t fade away. Today was a day worth celebrating; he¡¯d have to share this great news with his girlfriend when he got back.


    ¡­


    As a surgeon, what difference is there between not operating and being a salted fish?


    At ten in the morning, Chen Cang and Chen Bingsheng arrived at the operating room.


    Chen Bingsheng, seeing Chen Cang somewhat reserved, smiled and said, ¡°An appendectomy is just a small surgery, just like what you usually see; it will be over in no time. What are you nervous about? You¡¯ve seen me perform so many. When I did them, you thought I was clumsy. What now, getting cold feet?¡±


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°No way, it¡¯s just my first time!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng sneered, ¡°First time? Should I give you a red packet to celebrate?¡±


    Inside the operating room, the patient was already lying down, not yet prepared for anesthesia.


    While washing his hands, Chen Bingsheng said with a smile, ¡°How about¡­ you take the lead on the first one? Remember the procedure?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and tensed up inside. After recalling it, he said, ¡°I remember!¡±


    Bingsheng smiled, ¡°Once the anesthesia is applied, you¡¯ll lead, and I¡¯ll assist you!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded vigorously.


    The anesthesiologist, an old acquaintance named Liu Jian, a 38-year-old man, liked to tease and tell jokes. He had a good relationship with Bingsheng. Seeing the pair¡¯s act, he immediately understood the situation.


    But the patient was still conscious, so of course, nothing much could be said; adding to the patient¡¯s nervousness was unnecessary.


    Rather, he gave Chen Cang an encouraging look, gave him a thumbs-up, and signaled to go for it!

 Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: First Kill in the Operating Room

    Chapter 5: First Kill in the Operating Room


    Translator: 549690339


    [Ding! NPC Chen Bingsheng has issued a task: Perform the main surgeon role in two appendicitis surgeries, task requirement: a good completion. Task completion reward: Chen Bingsheng¡¯s Appendectomy Experience*1;]


    Chen Cang was stunned. The task reward was Boss Chen¡¯s experience in appendectomy?


    Why isn¡¯t there any money?


    No experience points either?


    Boss Chen, I have no complaints about you, but¡­


    You can¡¯t just exploit me for free, can you?


    Chen Cang sighed. If he was going to be exploited for free, so be it. He¡¯d been exploited for two years already; one more time wouldn¡¯t make much difference.


    This emergency room is really no place for humans. Director An harbored ill intentions toward me, and now Boss Chen wants to exploit me for free¡­ Is it really my fault for being handsome?


    Ah¡­


    Nowadays, appendectomy surgeries are mostly done laparoscopically, but this increases the cost by over a thousand yuan more than usual, though it does leave a smaller scar.


    The first auntie named Zhang Aizhen was in her fifties. She often suffered from appendix pain and was rushed to the emergency room a few days ago when it suddenly worsened. After anti-inflammation treatment, she was decided for surgery.


    As soon as Auntie Zhang heard that laparoscopy cost an extra thousand yuan, she immediately decided to go for an open appendectomy. After all, she was a woman who¡¯d seen a bit of life.


    However, Auntie Zhang had a second thought: ¡°I already have one scar in the middle of my stomach, having another isn¡¯t a big deal, but Doctor, make it look a bit prettier for me. If the two scars look somewhat aesthetic, otherwise, I¡¯m afraid people at the bathhouse will think I¡¯m involved with gangs.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng smiled and said, ¡°No problem, I can make it symmetrical for you!¡±


    The surgery began quickly. Chen Cang would be lying if he said he wasn¡¯t nervous, but after so many years of following and observing surgeries, he felt he should have no problems with the actual operation.


    Appendectomy is performed under local anesthesia, generally using epidural anesthesia.


    These were all the anesthesiologist¡¯s responsibility. The first task for Chen Cang was to decide where to make the incision.


    The appendectomy incision should ideally be chosen at the point of maximum tenderness in the right lower abdomen, actually, the McBurney¡¯s point.


    Simply put, it¡¯s one-third of the way along an imaginary line from the navel to the right anterior superior iliac spine.


    He faced a difficult decision at the outset. For his first main surgery, what kind of incision should he make?


    There are several types of appendectomy incisions, like the right lower quadrant oblique incision, or the right lower quadrant transverse incision?


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°McBurney incision?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng ignored him.


    Chen Cang, holding the scalpel, started the incision. After the opening was made, the next step was to locate the appendix.


    Chen Cang first used a gauze swab to push the small intestine to the side, then found the cecum and traced up the three taenia coli to the end to locate the appendix.


    Feel-the-melon method along the intestine?


    However¡­


    Chen Cang looked at the appendix inside the stomach¡­ the cecum¡­ the colon¡­ and was dumbfounded!


    It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t recognize them, but he found that these organs had names labeled on them as if humanized!


    Chen Cang decided he couldn¡¯t stand it!


    The system must be worried that he wouldn¡¯t recognize these things.


    But¡­ it was admittedly quite convenient.


    On the cecum was a green label that read [Cecum]


    The colon also had a green label that read [Colon]


    When Chen Cang touched the cecum, a prompt entered his mind:


    [Ding! This is a healthy cecum]


    [Ding! This is a vigorous colon]


    Chen Cang: ???


    WTF?


    Chen Cang let go of the cecum and colon, and suddenly saw a red label on the appendix that read [Appendix].


    Is this damn thing a red-named monster?


    As he picked up the red-named [Appendix], a prompt entered his mind.


    [Ding! Ordinary appendix monster: This is an ordinary inflamed appendix, lv8.]


    What the heck?


    An appendix monster of level eight¡­


    Chen Cang was dumbstruck.


    He forced himself to close his eyes, take a deep breath, but didn¡¯t calm down, take another deep breath, still not calm, and another deep breath¡­


    Phew!


    When he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw Chen Bingsheng staring at him with eyes full of WTF?


    According to Chen Cang¡¯s understanding of Boss Chen, the look meant: What the hell are you doing?


    Chen Cang decided to take out this red-named appendix!


    He used an appendix clamp to grab the appendix and a hemostat to clamp the mesoappendix, then lifted the appendix out through the incision to remove it.


    Chen Cang is a level 12 resident physician, and dealing with this little level 8 appendix is no problem at all!


    In the world of martial arts, speed is unrivaled!


    Accompanied by Chen Cang¡¯s skilled knife technique.


    The red-named appendix died under the knife!


    Decisive removal¡­ dealing with the appendiceal mesentery¡­ handling the base of the appendix


    The subsequent operation went smoothly.


    When he sewed the last stitch, he finally took a long breath.


    Goodness¡­


    That was exhilarating.


    [Ding! First kill achieved! You¡¯ve gained the title: Rookie of the Operating Room, please keep it up and complete ten consecutive kills!]


    [Ding! You¡¯ve slain an appendix monster, loot drop: Experience +100, RMB +100, Appendectomy Experience +100.]


    What the heck?


    Leveling up and looting equipment from fights?


    Do operations make you stronger?


    Happiness, you¡¯ve finally arrived.


    You know what?


    You¡¯re over twenty years late!


    Chen Cang looked at the virtual screen in front of him with tears in his eyes, full of excitement and surprise. This is just too thrilling.


    My life is about to become legendary!


    Chen Bingsheng was lost for words. Had this guy gone mad?


    Chen Bingsheng gave Chen Cang a helpless glance, ¡°What are you doing? Haven¡¯t seen an appendix before? And admiring it for so long? Are you out of your mind?¡±


    Chen Cang replied with an awkward smile, ¡°No, it¡¯s just that¡­ his appendix and cecum looked different!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng with a pair of ox-like eyes, ¡°Different how? Did her appendix grow double eyelids or something?¡±


    At this time, the patient had already been wheeled out by the nurses, and an operating room nurse happened to hear the conversation between Chen Bingsheng and Chen Cang and burst into laughter.


    ¡°Dr. Chen, that¡¯s too slick. An appendix with double eyelids!¡±


    ¡°Haha!¡±


    Chen Cang responded with an embarrassed smile, ¡°No, it¡¯s my first time performing an appendectomy personally. I really wanted to savor the experience.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng chuckled, ¡°Huh? First time feeling it out? What about it? Got your heart racing? The look on your face was like you just saw your first love.¡±


    The whole place erupted in laughter.


    The operating room nurse, Qin Lele, said with a smile, ¡°Dr. Chen is new to this and he did quite well. No accidents, and everything was smooth. Let¡¯s give Dr. Chen a round of applause!¡±


    Qin Lele was about the same age as Chen Cang, but she had been in the operating room for four or five years already and had seen all sorts of surgeries.


    She was used to Chen Bingsheng¡¯s teasing and defended Chen Cang.


    After all, being handsome does have its advantages.


    Chen Cang clicked to accept the reward.


    But what does Rookie of the Operating Room mean?


    [Title: Rookie of the Operating Room.


    Title Details: A Rookie of the Operating Room should have an unflagging spirit of learning and a passionate attitude towards surgery. Study hard and perform more surgeries.


    Wearing this title: You have a 1% chance of learning a skill from the chief surgeon during surgery.]


    Chen Cang was startled!


    What? This title is kind of awesome!


    A one percent chance to learn a skill from the chief surgeon.


    If I assist in a few more surgeries with Chief Chen, does that mean I might learn some badass skill?


    With that thought, Chen Cang started to feel a bit excited.


    [Ding! Your level has increased to lv13, you¡¯ve earned one skill point.]


    Chen Cang opened his attribute panel with delight.


    [Chen Cang: Profession: Doctor.

    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°`


    Chen Cang and Chen Bingsheng came out to wash their hands and change into surgical gowns, as there was a second surgery to follow, which was connected to the first.


    The emergency room surgeries conducted independently were generally not major or very serious, but they kept the staff quite busy. The emergency department was always bustling with activity, with a full day packed of tasks.


    The second patient was a stout man in his fifties who, it was evident, had a pretty good constitution. It was a case of appendicitis brought on by eating barbecue and drinking beer, which this big brother did not take seriously at all. After popping some anti-inflammatory drugs, he continued his eating and drinking as usual the following day.


    His appendicitis worsened and turned into suppurative appendicitis.


    Only then did he come to the hospital, where he was received by Chen Cang. The big brother¡¯s first words were:


    ¡°Doctor, you gotta cut out this appendix for me; it flares up all the time and interferes with my drinking!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    What sort of logic is that???


    Why does it sound kinda reasonable to me?


    Chen Cang patiently explained, ¡°It¡¯s the drinking and reckless eating that caused your appendicitis, not your appendix getting in the way of your drinking. You need to have some health knowledge and awareness.¡±


    The big brother was really tough, clutching his stomach and chuckling, ¡°The appendix is dispensable, just cut it out; drinking is a joy in life, how can I do without it?!¡±


    Wow, that even rhymes.


    This caused a wave of giggles among the nurses.


    Big brother, you didn¡¯t come here for surgery, did you? You came here to perform a comedy routine?


    I should let you in free of charge instead of charging you, and treat this as your admission fee, right?


    Chen Cang had no choice but to give a thumbs-up, managing to espouse such fallacies to a noble, resolute, well-grounded, skilled, and proficient doctor¡­ and even managed to shake my conviction.


    You¡¯re damn talented, I¡¯ll give you that!


    I¡¯m tempted to bring out my ¡®big gun¡¯ to give you a salute.


    There he was, lying on the bed, stark-naked, yet the big brother was still adamant, ¡°Doctor, show it to me once you¡¯ve cut it out. I want to see this little bastard that has ravaged my body and tormented my soul. I¡¯m gonna take it home, stew it, and feed it to the dogs!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    Chen Bingsheng: ¡­


    The master and his pupil couldn¡¯t help but sigh in unison.


    As the surgery began, Chen Bingsheng said to Chen Cang, ¡°This patient might be different from the last one. You¡¯ll know once you open him up. Don¡¯t panic.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    After the anesthesia was administered and the surgery was about to begin, the patient suddenly said, ¡°Doctor! Wait!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    The patient gave an embarrassed smile, ¡°Can you make this incision look more fierce? Yes, that kind of fierce, as if it was a slash wound from a knife attack?¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless: you¡¯re looking to make a false claim for money, aren¡¯t you?


    Go tell the reporters, and there it is, another medical dispute headline: ¡®A patient¡¯s appendectomy turned into artistic doodling on the belly with a scalpel ¨C a lapse in morals or a twist in human nature!¡¯


    The patient coughed and said, ¡°It¡¯s for when I go out boasting. I¡¯ll say that I got slashed with a knife, and despite the excruciating pain, I didn¡¯t make a peep. In the end, I got sewn up with thirty-six stitches! Down the line when drinking, I¡¯ll just lift my shirt to show off this scar. How cool will that be? Tattoos can¡¯t even compare; they¡¯re too low!¡±


    Chen Cang ignored him.


    This joker!


    A stand-up comedian!


    That was a freestyle just now.


    The anesthesia time is sufficient, and Chen Cang begins the surgery.


    A right lower quadrant McBurney¡¯s incision is made to enter the abdomen, cutting the skin to a length of 6cm.


    The dermis layer and subcutaneous fat layer are cut layer by layer. At this point, Chen Bingsheng proactively came over to perform electrocoagulation for hemostasis.


    Not bad, the little sidekick¡¯s quite sharp!


    Chen Cang looked at Chen Bingsheng appreciatively, offering encouragement!


    Chen Bingsheng was taken aback, glaring fiercely: Itching for a smack, are you?


    The external oblique aponeurosis was cut layer by layer, the external oblique and internal oblique muscles were separated, and the peritoneum was lifted and cut to enter the abdomen.


    At that moment, the abdominal cavity lay before Chen Cang.


    Indeed, just as Chen Bingsheng had said, it might be different.


    As Chen Cang explored the cavity, he was cautious.


    Chen Cang could now see that the ¡®greater omentum of the abdominal cavity¡¯ was green, indicating there was no adhesion of inflammatory abdominal pus, so he breathed a sigh of relief!


    However¡­


    There was a large amount of purulent exudate in the right lower abdomen.


    The ¡®cecum¡¯ was green, with no problems,


    And the position of the appendix was in front of the cecum. Through the omentum, Chen Cang saw the conspicuously congested and enlarged appendix (don¡¯t get any weird ideas)!


    The appendix was now fully exposed before Chen Cang, highlighted in red!


    And it was even redder than the ones he saw before!


    The two red words ¡®appendix¡¯ seemed to be telling Chen Cang that this level of boss might be a bit higher.


    ¡°`


    About 10cm in length and roughly 1.5cm in diameter, purulent, highly tense, with the root of the appendix necrotic and perforated. The surrounding adipose tissue pendant was encapsulating it, with only slight adhesion to the surrounding tissues.


    Chen Cang naturally saw all this!


    [Ding! Rare Appendix Monster: This is an acute purulent perforated appendix. Lv12.]


    Chen Cang pondered:


    If I kill this rare creature, might it drop some equipment?


    Even if it doesn¡¯t drop equipment, there should be more experience and money, right?


    Chen Cang fully exposed the surgical field!


    Prepare for surgery!


    ¡°Gauze!¡±


    ¡°Hemostat!¡±


    ¡°Ligate the mesoappendix!¡±


    ¡°Suction!¡±


    ¡­


    This surgery was no longer the same as before; the rare monster gave Chen Cang quite a bit of trouble!


    The procedure was no longer as simple as earlier.


    Chen Cang cut off the appendix and placed the removed appendix into the tray.


    ¡°Carbonic acid solution 5ml.¡±


    ¡°Alcohol swab¡±


    ¡°Saline solution 20ml!¡±


    Chen Cang needed to wash the mucosa of the cut surface of the appendix to prevent further infection.


    Next came the suturing task, performing a typical figure-eight closure including the local adipose tissue for coverage.


    These were all basic maneuvers, So what.


    Time to finish up!


    Chen Cang gave Chen Bingsheng a look: Hurry up and wrap this up, will you?


    Why are you looking at me?


    Isn¡¯t this the look you give as the chief surgeon at this stage?


    Chen Cang reflected: Could it be that my look isn¡¯t quite perfected?


    Chen Bingsheng glared back, ¡°What are you staring at? Hurry up and finish up!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Is this what the chief surgeon should do? Don¡¯t you always leave this to me when it comes to this point???¡±


    For a moment, Qin Lele, the instrument nurse next to them, couldn¡¯t help but laugh: ¡°Chen, don¡¯t be naughty, get on with it!¡±


    Chen Cang, feeling helpless, thought that being the chief surgeon meant having the authority and style associated with it, but it turned out he still had no power¡­


    Helplessly, Chen Cang began to mop up the effusion in the abdominal and pelvic cavity, checked for no active bleeding, placed one drainage tube in the right iliac fossa, and made another incision beside it for drainage.


    The instrument nurse also began to count the gauzes and instruments.


    ¡°All good, we¡¯re done!¡± announced the instrument nurse.


    Chen Cang began to close the abdomen layer by layer.


    Surgery completed!


    [Ding! You¡¯ve defeated Rare Appendix Monster: Acute purulent perforated appendix, gained +200 experience points, +200 RMB, and +200 appendix removal surgery experience.]


    [Ding! Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained a Suture Needle (White) One!]


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, what the heck???


    I¡­


    I¡­


    Hahaha, equipment loot!


    A white suture needle?


    What¡¯s it for?


    Look quickly, look!


    Could it instantly smash heavens, earth, and air?


    [Suture Needle (White): Sharpness +1]


    Chen Cang was stunned?


    So?


    That¡¯s it?


    What¡¯s the deal with Sharpness +1?

 Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: I Have Expanded

    Chapter 7: I Have Expanded


    Translator: 549690339


    [Suture Needle (White), any suture needle you use in the future will have the attribute: Sharpness +1!]


    Chen Cang finally understood, it meant that from now on, whenever he used a suture needle, it would possess the attribute of Sharpness +1.


    But¡­ what exactly does Sharpness +1 entail?


    Mystified!


    Forget it, it must just mean really sharp, right?


    After the surgery, the patient suddenly asked, ¡°Doctor, where¡¯s my appendix?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    Such an obsession!?


    A nurse, carrying a tray, approached the man, ¡°Look, this is your appendix!¡±


    Upon seeing it, the man immediately felt nauseous, ¡°No! It¡¯s your appendix now, take it¡­ even my dog wouldn¡¯t eat this thing, it¡¯s too disgusting.¡±


    ¡°Damn, this isn¡¯t like what I found on Baidu online. How can it look like this? So gross!¡±


    Chen Cang coughed and said, This is not your average appendix.


    Indeed, it was an acutely inflamed, perforating appendix!


    It was an appendix that, in an effort to resist its host¡¯s habit of eating and drinking recklessly, rebelled and strived to grow into a rare appendiceal monstrosity!


    The nurse smiled and took it back.


    She was long unfazed by such things, to the point where she could continue eating her meal, unimpeded by its presence!


    Chen Bingsheng said, ¡°Send it to pathological department for a biopsy.¡±


    The young nurse nodded and left.


    It seemed that the anesthesia was wearing off the man quickly, his mind was sharp, ¡°Doctor, my stomach got anesthetized, so logically, my stomach should be numb too, right? Then how come I felt like throwing up when I saw that thing? I still felt nauseated?¡±


    Chen Cang felt that the man had raised a very profound question!


    How can you feel nauseated with an anesthetized stomach? Quite philosophical!


    Chen Bingsheng laughed, ¡°That¡¯s disgust! A mental issue!¡±


    The nurses in the operating room couldn¡¯t hold back any longer and burst out laughing!


    Even Chen Cang laughed heartily.


    The man scratched his head, ¡°Makes sense!¡±


    The effects of the anesthesia didn¡¯t seem to have worn off completely yet; he hadn¡¯t quite caught on, but he was already being wheeled out of the operating room and to the ward.


    Anesthesiologist Liu Jian came over, and seeing that Chen Cang had finished the surgery, he smiled, ¡°How did it feel to lead a surgery for the first time?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°I didn¡¯t get the thrill of being the chief surgeon!¡±


    Liu Jian was taken aback, ¡°What kind of thrill is there to being the chief surgeon?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°To have an assistant do the work! As my life¡¯s first assistant, Chen Senior didn¡¯t even acknowledge me, let alone assist.¡±


    Liu Jian was speechless, ¡°You little rascal, you¡¯re acting coy after getting a bargain? Expecting Chen Bingsheng to assist you? You¡¯re gutsy, eh?¡±


    Chen Cang laughed; he was only joking.


    He left the operating room together with Chen Senior and when they washed their hands with no one else around, Chen Bingsheng couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡°You should practice your suturing when you get back. What the hell kind of stitching was that? It¡¯s damn ugly. I was too embarrassed to mention it in front of everyone; bringing it up would be humiliating for me!¡±


    Chen Cang awkwardly smiled.


    [Ding! High-level NPC Chen Bingsheng issues a quest: Improve suturing skill to advanced level! Reward: One skill point.]


    Chen Cang was delighted!


    What an unexpected windfall!


    Skin Wound Suturing: Intermediate: 1679/2000.


    Time to buckle down these next few days and focus on improving it. Using skill points now seems wasteful; it¡¯s better to wait a while.


    But what¡¯s the use of skill points?


    Chen Cang was quite curious.


    [Ding! Skill level upgrade from beginner to intermediate requires one skill point, intermediate to advanced requires two skill points, advanced to master requires four, and master to perfect requires eight skill points!]


    Chen Cang nodded; so that¡¯s how it is!


    Skill points are used to improve skill levels.


    He¡¯d better save this precious skill point.


    The morning had been very fruitful indeed.


    [Ding! NPC Chen Bingsheng¡¯s quest complete, successfully performed two appendicitis surgeries with good results. Reward: Chen Bingsheng¡¯s Appendix Surgery Insights*1]


    Insights on the appendix surgery from Chen Senior?


    Is that useful?


    Chen Cang clicked to receive the reward, and a series of information instantly zipped into his mind.


    Intrusion!


    Unbearable!


    Inside were all scenes of blood and gore, Senior Chen¡¯s surgical insights, which he had accumulated from performing surgery time and again.


    Until they culminated in Senior Chen¡¯s realizations.


    Chen Cang slowly savored them, and gradually made them his own.


    He digested and absorbed them in his mind¡­


    Merging¡­


    [Ding! You¡¯ve absorbed Chen Bingsheng¡¯s appendix surgery insights and gained +1000 appendectomy experience points!]


    [Ding! Your appendectomy skill has advanced to intermediate: Appendectomy: 300/2000 (Intermediate);]


    Chen Cang was thrilled!


    A straight thousand points of appendectomy experience, how rich is that!


    Awesome!


    At that moment, Chen Cang felt as if he had ascended, the feeling was indescribable.


    Big Chen, do you have any more insights?


    In one morning, two surgeries netted me 300 yuan, pretty sweet.


    Ah, so much money, how should I spend it?


    The life of the wealthy is just so tedious¡­


    And dull!


    After returning to the department, Chen Bingsheng went home for dinner feeling happy, while Chen Cang couldn¡¯t be bothered to go back and forth and preferred the comfort of the duty room.


    I¡¯ll just order some takeout on my phone.


    Thinking of the money I made today, Chen Cang decided to treat himself!


    There¡¯s a decent Lanzhou beef noodle place nearby, so he went straight to the app.


    The only issue with the Lanzhou beef noodles was that there was too little meat, despite the taste being quite good, with just two slices in a bowl!


    Maybe¡­


    I should go for the ¡®beef freedom¡¯ option???


    Chen Cang suddenly had a terrible thought.


    Considering the unexpected income of over three hundred yuan today, Chen Cang felt he was growing bolder.


    Even daring to think about getting extra beef while ordering Lanzhou beef noodles!


    He ordered a bowl of beef noodles for 12 yuan.


    But adding an extra portion of beef cost 3 yuan more, and Chen Cang gritted his teeth and added ten portions!


    Thirty yuan¡ªChen Daren decided to indulge in the luxury of ¡®beef freedom¡¯!


    Thinking of the shop owner¡¯s stunned and admiring expression, Chen Cang smacked his lips to keep the saliva from dripping out.


    Ah, the life of the rich is just so tedious¡­


    Daring to add ten portions of beef to their beef noodles.


    This must be the life of the rich¡­


    He scrolled through his phone for a while, checking out updates from his favorite authors.


    Without realizing it, half an hour passed, the takeout arrived, and Chen Cang eagerly opened the packaging, ready to indulge in the delight of wolfing down meat, when suddenly¡­


    He was stunned by the sight before him!


    This¡­


    Is this supposed to be the 30-yuan beef?


    Is this the so-called ¡®beef freedom¡¯?


    Chen Cang saw dozens of beef slices as thin as cicada wings floating on top of the noodles, emitting a faint fragrance¡­


    This is barely twenty slices, isn¡¯t it?


    And Chen Cang felt he could finish all this beef in one bite if it were bunched together!


    So this is what 30-yuan beef is¡­


    Chen Cang felt like crying.


    For 30 yuan, I could buy a kilo to stew at home!


    Taking a deep breath, Chen Cang ate his expensive bowl of beef noodles with tears in his eyes.


    What a loss!


    However, it was at this moment that something dawned on Chen Cang!


    With 20 slices of beef for 30 yuan, each bowl only comes with two slices!


    This meant that it could make ten bowls of beef noodles, and with each bowl costing twelve yuan, it would total 120 yuan, which meant that the owner could make 120 yuan from these 20 slices of beef!


    And selling them to me for only 30 yuan meant!


    The owner lost 90 yuan!


    Even though I lost 30 yuan,


    The owner also lost ninety yuan to me!


    That being the case, there was only one truth!


    This round, it couldn¡¯t be considered a failure, at most a pyrrhic victory.


    Ah¡­


    I swear I¡¯m a genius!


    Buying a bowl of noodles has become a battle of wits with the owner.


    So tiring.


    I¡¯ll have spicy hot pot tomorrow¡­

 Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Power of Sharpness +1

    Chapter 8: The Power of Sharpness +1


    Translator: 549690339


    Early the next morning, Chen Cang arrived at the department, again just after seven.


    Ding! Daily Task: Complete 3 skin sutures today. Task Completion Reward: Skin Suture Experience +30. RMB +50 Yuan.


    Suturing?


    Recalling how Boss Chen had criticized his suturing as rather ugly the day before, Chen Cang felt a twinge of embarrassment.


    Because of this, he had even searched the internet for cosmetic surgery videos last night. Comparatively speaking, cosmetic procedures had higher requirements for suturing, especially those doctors in dermatologic surgery.


    However, watching videos ultimately wasn¡¯t as good as hands-on experience. After a whole night, he realized that his suturing experience had only symbolically increased by a few points.


    While Chen Cang was lost in thought, a nurse approached him: ¡°Doctor Chen, come quick and help, Doctor Qin Yue is arguing with a patient!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and hurriedly followed the nurse.


    Before reaching the door to the dressing room, Chen Cang could already hear the chaotic noise inside.


    Pushing the door open, he saw Qin Yue, wearing a mask and holding a suture needle, standing there helplessly.


    The patient was a three-year-old child with a cut on his hand, most likely sustained by falling onto a sharp object!


    The cut was quite deep, requiring a tetanus injection, and the wound needed suturing as soon as possible.


    The child was crying and fussing, and the child¡¯s parent was frantically worried: ¡°Can you do it or not? If not, can you call another doctor? It¡¯s taken so long just for one suture; how much suffering does my child have to endure!¡±


    Qin Yue was immediately displeased: ¡°Can¡¯t you speak properly? Do you think I don¡¯t care? But the child is in such pain, and you won¡¯t let me give an anesthetic. You think we¡¯re stitching fabric here? Can the needle just slip through as if there are holes in it? This is flesh, sister, is it not going to hurt?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t do anything if the child keeps squirming like this, so how am I supposed to suture? As a parent, you¡¯re really something. Your child is crying his eyes out in pain, you won¡¯t allow an anesthetic, and then you blame the doctor?¡±


    The middle-aged woman¡¯s face turned red: ¡°Are anesthetics even safe? The TV says anesthetics can numb a child¡¯s nerves. How old is this child? I refuse to allow an anesthetic; what if it affects him later? Where¡¯s your director? I want your director to do the suturing! You young doctor, lacking skills and looking for excuses!¡±


    Qin Yue was so exasperated she almost laughed out of frustration.


    There is a kind of logic called ¡°patient¡¯s god logic¡±!


    Chen Cang stepped forward: ¡°Alright, alright, please calm down, miss. The child is crying so much. Let¡¯s do the suturing and not leave it hanging, shall we? Our director hasn¡¯t started work yet, and waiting isn¡¯t going to solve anything. Let me do the suturing, okay?¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang turned and made a gesture to the nurse, signaling her to take Qin Yue away.


    Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s tall and handsome demeanor, and most importantly, that he was a male doctor, the woman simmered down a bit.


    But she still muttered under her breath: ¡°What lack of manners!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed: ¡°Miss, just hold the child steadily for a moment, while I do the suturing. But¡­ it will definitely hurt a little without an anesthetic. Make sure the child doesn¡¯t move.¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang took out the suture kit.


    The needles in the suture kit were already threaded, thus saving a lot of trouble.


    Suturing a child is a very difficult business!


    The skin is densely packed with nerves, and children are very sensitive. Their hands are even more so, rich in blood vessels and nerves, making it easy for them to move about!


    Therefore, with such small wounds that only require two or three stitches, one must be steady, accurate, and resolute.


    Speed is critical!


    However, for a suture needle to penetrate flesh, it requires not only strength but also a very sharp needle.


    There are now specialized devices to test the piercing strength of needles, such as suture needles, infusion needles, and puncture needles.


    This represents an international challenge that is being relentlessly overcome!


    Without a doubt, the higher the piercing force, the less difficult the suturing, and thus, the safety and ease of operation of the suture improve overall.


    Otherwise, flesh, which is already a very tough material, presents significant challenges for needle penetration, reducing the controllability of the procedure.


    The difficulty of suturing also greatly increases!


    This is especially the case with children, the elderly with poor skin elasticity, and physical laborers with tight skin and strong muscles¡ªthe requirements for needle puncture force are even higher!


    After disinfecting the child again, Chen Cang picked up the puncture needle, pondered for just a moment, and then made his move!


    The suturing needle required only a bit of force, and instantly entered the skin!


    Then, while shuttling through the flesh, Chen Cang felt as if he was passing through tofu¡ªa similar sensation came to him!


    What the heck?


    A sense of shock instinctively arose within him!


    Could the impact of a sharpness increase of +1 really be this noticeable?


    Although surprised inwardly, Chen Cang still composedly and quickly sutured, flipping the needle out of the flesh and then back in again without any hindrance!


    It was too easy!


    The child was indeed still crying, but not thrashing about as violently.


    In less than 30 seconds, Chen Cang had completed the three stitches.


    A fluid surgical knot brought this suturing to a definitive end!


    Chen Cang looked at the child¡¯s mother, ¡°Try to keep it dry for the next three days, and come back in a week to change the dressing. I¡¯ll see if we can remove the stitches by then. Also, for the child¡¯s safety, I suggest getting a tetanus shot. The wound is quite deep, and I¡¯m worried about infection!¡±


    Having seen how smoothly Chen Cang sutured, the child¡¯s mother had already decided to heed his advice!


    It was too smooth, too fluent!


    The female doctor who tried to suture earlier found it very difficult!


    ¡°Okay, Doctor, I¡¯ll listen to you. By the way¡­ should I come back to you for the dressing change?¡± the woman asked, hope shining in her eyes.


    Chen Cang smiled and nodded, ¡°Of course!¡±


    In fact, the parents had no ill intent; their agitation stemmed purely from their overwhelming concern for their child¡¯s well-being.


    The child, lips pursed, was still in pain; after all, without anesthesia, not just a child but even an adult couldn¡¯t bear it. It really made one wonder what the parents were thinking. Tears were welling up in the child¡¯s large eyes, and one hand hung in the air, unsure of what to do: ¡°Thank you, Uncle.¡±


    Chen Cang immediately smiled; the child was quite polite.


    [Ding! Skin suturing completed (1/3), you¡¯ve earned +10 suturing experience, 10 RMB, and +10 experience;]


    Watching the two leave, Chen Cang fell into thought.


    [Sharpness +1!]


    Wasn¡¯t this attribute a bit overpowered?


    He sutured frequently in his daily work, but this was a completely different feeling.


    He felt that today, when the needle passed through the skin and muscle, the resistance was significantly less.


    Smooth sailing?


    Suturing is a skilled task!


    Because you have to master the resistance encountered by different needle sizes when they penetrate the human body, then choose the best suture point, and finally achieve the goal of suturing.


    Such skill, without ten or twenty years of practice, is very difficult to attain.


    There are many types of sutures, such as: skin suturing, tendon suturing, ligament suturing, fascial suturing, vessel anastomosis¡­


    Each type of suture completion requires countless times of grasping different materials.


    If only it were like in the novels, one technique mastering everything!


    But¡­


    At this very moment!


    Chen Cang felt that the difficulty of suturing had significantly decreased for him!

    Chapter 9: Advanced NPC¡¯s Quests

    ¡°`


    Back at the office, Qin Yue sat there seemingly sulking.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Yo? Still angry? Parents just get frantic because they care.¡±


    Qin Yue glared at Chen Cang, pouting, ¡°Still yo? You traitor, whose side are you on? Traitor!¡±


    Chen Cang laughed heartily, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m on our dear Qin Yue, the star of the science department!¡±


    ¡°But you¡¯ve been at the hospital for quite a while now. Emergencies naturally come with disputes; haven¡¯t you gotten used to it yet? Do you forget what the former chief said when you joined the emergency department?¡±


    ¡°Once you¡¯re in the emergency department, you cast aside your dignity, hobbies, personality¡­ just remember you are a doctor, that¡¯s all! Your main job is to treat and save patients.¡± Qin Yue sighed, continuing Chen Cang¡¯s words.


    After finishing, Qin Yue still seemed somewhat downcast, ¡°But¡­ I still feel like, why should I? I spent five years in undergrad, three years in grad school, and then I had to transition in residency training. Why should I be treated as lesser and have to tolerate others¡¯ attitudes? Aren¡¯t we all born and raised by our parents, treasured by our families? Is it so wrong to expect a little respect after putting in so much effort?¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t respond, and that was the truth.


    Qin Yue went on to say, ¡°Sometimes I feel the world is so unfair. I am more excellent and diligent than they are. I¡¯ve studied hard for so many years, given so much, and now I earn just over 3000 a month. I¡¯m nearly 30 and still can¡¯t be independent. Look at others; my high school classmates got jobs after university and are now mid-level managers, earning over ten thousand a month, carrying designer bags, and sometimes even traveling abroad.¡±


    ¡°As for me? What¡¯s 3000 yuan good for? If I weren¡¯t so busy that I didn¡¯t have time to shop and spend, I¡¯d probably starve!¡±


    At this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Indeed, the medical profession was indeed like that. Regardless of whether you make money, you definitely have no time to spend it. Plus, Qin Yue was theoretically still in training, so naturally, she didn¡¯t get any bonuses.


    After Qin Yue vented, the doctors from the department arrived one after another. Chen Bingsheng heard Qin Yue¡¯s complaints and immediately chuckled, ¡°Little Qin ah? If I were you, with such an anime-like appearance, I¡¯d just marry a rich husband and then join a geriatric department, living leisurely.¡±


    Though An Yanjun was not one to smile or laugh much, he also added, ¡°Agreed.¡±


    Qin Yue smiled, ¡°Teacher Chen, Teacher An, you¡¯re here.¡±


    ¡°I was just feeling a little bit wronged just now, expressing it made me feel better. Actually, I think the emergency department is quite good. Every day we save so many lives, I feel that my work is at least valuable and meaningful!¡±


    Just then, Shi Na, Qin Yue¡¯s supervising doctor, walked in, ¡°Yo, what¡¯s all the commotion? What¡¯re you discussing? Qin, any issues with the patient last night?¡±


    Qin Yue stuck out her tongue at Chen Cang and hurriedly stood up to report, ¡°Teacher, all was quiet last night!¡±


    The director of the emergency department, named Li Baoshan, came in and looked at everyone, ¡°Let¡¯s start the shift handover, and after that, we¡¯ll have a brief meeting.¡±


    In addition to Li Baoshan, the emergency department had 12 doctors, divided into six groups, each with a senior doctor leading a junior doctor; three groups for internal medicine and three for surgery¡ªquite an organized arrangement.


    During the shift changeover, with over thirty nurses and a dozen doctors, the room was fully packed.


    There were no special incidents last night; after a briefing on the condition of new patients and the overnight doctor¡¯s treatments.


    Li Baoshan addressed everyone, ¡°This year, for the hospital¡¯s anniversary, the hospital leaders decided to resolve contract issues for a batch of scientific research staff. Our emergency department has the most scientific research staff in the hospital¡ªsix nurses and four doctors.¡±


    ¡°Everyone has been working hard, and I see your efforts, but¡­ this assessment isn¡¯t up to me. It¡¯s organized by the hospital. This requires you all to strive and compete, especially our four doctors from the department¡ªin the surgical group: Chen Cang, Wang Yong; in the medical group: Hu Tao, Zhao Chengkai. This assessment will be done through secret visits by external experts. Everyone, please prepare thoroughly.¡±


    ¡°What does this mean? This assessment won¡¯t be a centralized test. Instead, there will be an inspection team assessing your technical skills, work efficiency, service attitude, and more. They may observe you through cameras while you¡¯re receiving patients, or while you are treating them, and even during surgeries. I¡¯m giving you a heads-up, though the time will probably be in the first days of next month.¡±


    ¡°I hope everyone can smoothly resolve the contract issue. Alright, meeting adjourned.¡±


    This news was quite a shock!


    ¡°Secret visits? That¡¯s so mysterious, right?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, who¡¯s to say it isn¡¯t!¡±


    This message was quite stunning to everyone, but it was a fair process in a way.


    But to Chen Cang, it meant something else entirely.


    [Ding! High-level NPC Li Baoshan has issued a mission: Pass the assessment and become an official staff member of the department, contract signed. Rewards for completion: Acquire one skill from Li Baoshan!]


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes immediately sparkled with excitement!


    ¡°`


    Director Li¡¯s skills!


    Isn¡¯t this too awesome?


    Considering his level, Director Li is like a high-level boss over level eighty!


    Any equipment that drops from him should at least be epic, and a skill book should be of high quality, right?


    After all¡­


    Li Baoshan, the renowned physician of Dongyang Province, has dedicated decades to medicine, consistently performing surgeries at multiple hospitals, completing over ten thousand surgeries to much acclaim. Possessing a benevolent heart and profound medical expertise, now at fifty-seven, he is the vice president of the Dongyang Emergency Medicine Association and the vice president of the Dongyang Surgical Medicine Association.


    Director Li is a big shot!


    Chen Cang looked at the question mark above Director Li¡¯s head, filled with yearning.


    Even the slightest bit of dust from Director Li would be enough for me.


    No way!


    I need to buckle down and work hard, always be prepared.


    At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly noticed Qin Yue staring at him.


    Chen Cang immediately became guarded!


    This little minx couldn¡¯t have taken a shine to me, could she?


    No, it¡¯s time to find out what¡¯s really going on!


    [Qin Yue, an emergency department doctor with a hero complex who likes to grumble and watch anime; Affection level: 16!]


    Chen Cang felt awkward.


    16 points of affection?


    Alright, I wronged you, got ahead of myself.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath.


    Work in the morning was still rounds and writing medical records. Chen Bingsheng: ¡°There¡¯s a surgery this morning, you¡¯re going to do the suturing.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, ¡°Just suturing? Boss, I feel you need to reassess my level and strength!¡±


    That¡¯s right, Chen Cang felt he was getting ahead of himself!


    Chen Bingsheng was momentarily taken aback and slapped the medical record onto Chen Cang¡¯s chest: ¡°Here, the case is yours, you do it!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled with satisfaction, that¡¯s more like it!


    Then he opened the medical record: ¡°Subtotal gastrectomy¡­¡±


    After reading just those few words, Chen Cang sighed. Ah!


    Isn¡¯t this bullying?


    Afterward, he took a deep breath!


    ¡°Comrade Chen Bingsheng, thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty on the west, never underestimate the young and poor; in a few years, I too can perform¡­¡±


    Chen Bingsheng glared with tiger eyes: ¡°Scram! Go write the medical records!¡±


    Chen Cang gave a sheepish smile, quickly closing the medical record: ¡°Alright! Boss, I think I should listen to your arrangements and focus on learning suturing well.¡±

 Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Triggering the Intermediate Mission

    Chapter 10: Triggering the Intermediate Mission


    Translator: 549690339


    Today¡¯s surgery is a subtotal gastrectomy, and it¡¯s not just Chen Bingsheng performing it alone, he invited Zhang Zhixin, an attending physician from general surgery.


    Zhang Zhixin and Chen Bingsheng are old classmates who came to the Second Provincial Hospital together after graduation. However, one went to general surgery, while the other stayed in emergency.


    Nonetheless, this does not affect their collaboration, as they often invite each other to participate in surgeries.


    This is because emergency surgeries are quite miscellaneous, covering a wide range, but it¡¯s difficult for one person to complete a surgery from the general surgery system alone, so they need to invite doctors from other departments to cooperate.


    Today¡¯s surgery is just like that.


    The surgery today is a subtotal gastrectomy, also known as a near-total gastrectomy.


    In fact, the subtotal gastrectomy is not as simple as just cutting, it¡¯s quite different from an appendectomy.


    It mainly involves three steps!


    The first is to mobilize the greater and lesser curvatures of the stomach.


    Next is to sever the duodenum, then excise the stomach.


    The final step is to reconstruct the gastro-intestinal tract.


    Of course, the actual procedure is much more difficult than it sounds.


    Chen Cang, as a novice, also has a very clear role!


    Handling ties and knots, suctioning, and stopping bleeding;


    Fawning and brownnosing, cleaning up the instruments.


    Hey! That rhymes.


    Ah¡­ I must be a poet delayed by medicine.


    After all, countless vivid examples like Lu Xun, Guo MoRuo, Yu DaFu, Madam Bing Xin, Madam Bi Shumin, Chekhov tell us that if one doesn¡¯t succeed in medicine, one can switch to literature.


    After all, the old ancestors also said, ¡°A scholar practicing medicine is like catching chickens in a cage!¡±


    The reverse should be about the same principle.


    It¡¯s just that my talents are limited, otherwise I would definitely be joining the ranks of Luo Dayou, Fei Xiang, Wang Leehom, Mao Buyi, and so on, who are all exemplary representatives of leaving medicine for art after graduating from medical school.


    Ah¡­


    It seems that those who study medicine are geniuses.


    Zhang Zhixin studied general surgery, but he twisted his path and obtained a cosmetic surgery certificate. He¡¯s said to have partnered with others to open a cosmetic studio, mainly performing double eyelid surgeries, eyebrow tattooing, opening the corners of the eyes, and administering hyaluronic acid injections. Rumor has it he¡¯s making a killing!


    The surgery is about to begin.


    Chen Cang doesn¡¯t understand this type of surgery very well, so he can only silently learn on the side.


    Meanwhile, inside he¡¯s staring at Zhang Zhixin with eyes that shine and can speak!


    Not for any other reason!


    Just wanting to scrape together a bit of skill¡­


    [Operating Room Newbie: There¡¯s a one percent chance of learning a skill from others!]


    Chen Cang feels he should really get on good terms with Zhang Zhixin, learn some medical aesthetics, not for anything else, but so in the future he could give his girlfriend double eyelid surgery without spending money!


    The surgery has begun!


    First up is to open the abdomen for exploration!


    Through an incision made along the midline of the upper abdomen, Chen Bingsheng leads the surgery.


    After cutting through each layer and opening the peritoneum, the exploration begins!


    Chen Bingsheng carefully observes, while Zhang Zhixin assists.


    Chen Bingsheng: ¡°No ascites, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, small intestine, and colon show no anomalies!¡±


    ¡°The stomach wall is smooth, slightly edematous, the stomach body is obviously enlarged, the perigastric lymph nodes are not swollen, there is an ulcer of 2 by 1 by 0.5cm at the lesser curvature near the pylorus, which is slightly hard and minimally adhered to the gallbladder, local scar formation with pulling and contraction causing stenosis of the pyloric canal with an internal diameter of about 0.5cm, the stenosed section is 2cm long, involving the duodenum, intraoperative definitive diagnosis is pyloric canal ulcer causing pyloric insufficiency obstruction, planning to perform a subtotal gastrectomy Billroth II anastomosis!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin nods: ¡°Okay!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Boss Chen is amazing!¡±


    Nurse Qin Lele: ¡­


    Nurse B: ¡­


    Chen Bingsheng¡¯s professional dedication was still very impressive; he frequently performed this type of surgery, so naturally, he didn¡¯t feel too much pressure.


    However, he still glared at Chen Cang, ¡°Next time I won¡¯t call Dr. Zhang anymore, you¡¯ll assist me instead, so you¡¯d better watch closely this time.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin sighed, ¡°Are you tired of sharing the money, huh? Ha! Men!¡±


    Actually, the atmosphere inside the operating room wasn¡¯t as serious as one might imagine; jokes were often exchanged here and there.


    Moreover, as a secluded space, an operating room was always a hotbed for gossip!


    The gynecology operating room, in particular, was known as the king of hospital gossip!


    From speculating whose child belonged to whom to murky relationships between doctors and nurses, even to unclear ties between certain leaders and the staff.


    ¡­¡­


    Chen Cang was genuinely impressed by Boss Chen¡¯s expertise a moment ago; a string of professional terms had rolled off his tongue, raising his cool factor by more than a notch!


    But¡­


    Through Chen Cang¡¯s eyes, it was quite another story. If those words had been spoken by Chen Cang, it might have gone something like this:


    ¡°[Liver],[Gallbladder],[Pancreas],[Spleen],[Small Intestine]green and unremarkable, [Stomach]a red elite monster, the cause for redness found at the lower curvature of the stomach! [Pyloric Canal Ulcer causing incomplete pyloric obstruction: lv39 pyloric ulcer obstruction monster, standard monster, characteristics: Ulcer mildly adhered to the gallbladder, local scar formation pulling and contracting, causing narrowing of the pyloric canal, affecting the duodenum! Recommendation: excision!]¡±


    Wow, seeing a level 39 wild monster active there filled Chen Cang with excitement; after all, this was a high-level monster, rich in experience!


    Too bad he could only watch.


    However, Chen Cang watched intently. Every surgery was an opportunity to learn, and Chen Cang would not pass up such a great chance to learn.


    First came the dissection.


    The stomach wasn¡¯t just hanging inside the belly like a light bulb.


    It had various mesenteries, ligaments, blood vessels, and autonomic nerves distributed around it, securing the stomach within the abdominal cavity; otherwise, a little walk after eating could result in a prolapsed stomach.


    The first task was the dissection process, which was the most demanding of technical skill and patience.


    Chen Bingsheng carefully lifted the stomach and made an incision in the avascular area slightly left of the greater curvature to open the gastrocolic ligament. Then, within the arc of vessels, he continued dissection and cutting of the gastrocolic ligament toward the left¡­


    The surgery went smoothly, and he coordinated even more proficiently with Zhang Zhixin.


    ¡­


    After the surgery was completed, it was time to clean the instruments and then close the abdomen.


    Chen Bingsheng stood up and gave Chen Cang a look: ¡°Suture.¡±


    Chen Cang snickered: Mere mortals, the time to witness a miracle has come!


    Today you¡¯ll see my improvement.


    Chen Cang picked up the suturing needle, which had already been threaded by a nurse. Chen Cang¡¯s handling of the needle and thread was much smoother than yesterday. Plus, the abdominal skin was naturally flat, without too many twists and turns, allowing the suturing needle to dance back and forth like a butterfly threading its way across the belly.


    Indeed, Chen Cang felt a clear difference after feeling his skill had increasd by +1.


    It wasn¡¯t long before the suturing was finished.


    Chen Bingsheng took a look and involuntarily paused, curiously staring at Chen Cang: ¡°Not bad.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin, on the other hand, chuckled, ¡°Little Chen, your hands are suited for surgery! This suture is quite good, but¡­ it¡¯s still lacking a bit. You have the talent, just need a bit more technique.¡±


    Suddenly, Zhang Zhixin turned and asked, ¡°Little Chen, are you on duty tomorrow or the day after?¡±


    Chen Cang turned to see a question mark forming above Zhang Zhixin¡¯s head!


    Is there a quest?!


    [Ding! Your suturing has caught the attention of a mid-level NPC, a detailed chat might lead to a quest.]

 Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Money Farming Dungeon!

    Chapter 11: Money Farming Dungeon!


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up, Zhang Zhixin had a task to assign to him!


    It would be Saturday and Sunday, what kind of task could it be?


    What should he do now?


    Bootlicker!


    Exactly!


    How should he bootlick?


    Bootlick well! All-round, multi-angle, no dead-ends¡­ bootlicking!


    Chen Cang hurriedly said, ¡°No problem, I happen to be off the day after tomorrow, Zhang teacher, do you need any help?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin smiled, ¡°Hmm, there¡¯s a little something. Tomorrow and the day after, my studio has several surgeries lined up, and I might need an assistant. I see that you, kid, have a pretty solid foundation. Want to come and give a hand? Food¡¯s on me, 300 a day!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Chen Boss, look at this? What¡¯s called generous, what¡¯s called a boss! Boss Zhang is generous!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng scoffed, ¡°You ungrateful, money-eyed thing, scram!¡±


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°Boss, don¡¯t worry, my love for you is unwavering, I won¡¯t sell you out just because of a little less cash. I¡¯m just going to follow Boss Zhang and enjoy the big clients, and when we make money, I¡¯ll take you out for a foot wash.¡±


    The operating room once again burst into lively noise.


    Ding! Mid-level NPC Zhang Zhixin has issued a task, task requirements: assist Zhang Zhixin for two days, completion reward: 1. a special reward; 2. RMB +1000;


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned when he saw the task reward!


    What¡¯s this special reward?


    Although he didn¡¯t know what it was, he recognized the 1000 RMB.


    Not to mention anything else, just the temptation of this 1000 yuan was enough to make Chen Cang yield!


    How does that song go?


    Your money, like a tide, pushes me toward you!


    Following closely~~


    Money, like a tide, envelops both you and me.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day, Chen Cang arrived early at the place Zhang Zhixin had indicated.


    This was a cosmetic surgery studio that Zhang Zhixin and a few other bosses had set up together; it wasn¡¯t very large, but it had everything necessary, with all kinds of advanced equipment, names of which Chen Cang couldn¡¯t even call to mind.


    Several nurses inside had already started bustling around to get ready.


    It had to be said that in such private institutions, both the appearance and the temperament of the nurses far surpassed those of public hospitals, and most importantly¡­ the design of these nurse uniforms was simply fulfilling many a man¡¯s fantasies about nurses!


    Chen Cang silently gave a full score and, at the same time¡­ couldn¡¯t help but feel a profound sense of awe!


    Wicked capitalism, the decadent monetary system¡­


    Ding! Daily task: Assist with 3 double-eyelid surgeries, task reward: 1. Experience +100, 2. RMB +100;


    Chen Cang agreed with satisfaction.


    Money is truly great!


    The nurse in the pink uniform saw Chen Cang coming in and, thinking he was there for something, naturally went up to ask, ¡°Sir, how may I assist you?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ready to answer when,


    he saw a car stop at the entrance!


    Zhang Zhixin got out of the car.


    Holy shit!


    Boss Zhang actually drives a Prado!


    Seeing the imposing Toyota Prado stop at the entrance, Chen Cang was taken aback!


    After all, who at the hospital drives such a nice car?


    Each one is driving a modest car worth a mere ten or twenty thousand; where have you seen this kind of commanding car model and style?


    Of course, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t completely unfamiliar with the sight; there were plenty of luxury cars in the hospital parking lot, and he had even seen a Rolls-Royce.


    But still, seeing the tall and imposing Zhang Zhixin getting out of the Prado, Chen Cang was somewhat astonished.


    After all, Zhang Zhixin was usually quite low-key.


    Ah, really¡­


    That¡¯s really rich!


    Envious!


    Zhang Zhixin saw Chen Cang, smiled, and walked over, ¡°You¡¯re here, so early.¡±


    Chen Cang instantly became a bootlicking embodiment, ¡°Of course, I¡¯ve got to go all out for the tasks Boss Zhang assigns.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin laughed, ¡°You kid!¡±


    ¡°Xiaolan, find a new white coat for Dr. Chen, he¡¯s here to help us out. Oh, right, let me introduce him to you all, this here is Dr. Chen from the Emergency Surgery Department of the Provincial Second Hospital, single. Hehe, you ladies should make your move quickly!¡±


    The several young nurses at the front desk swiftly got up and bowed: ¡°Good day, Dr. Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang hurriedly covered his heart because, as they bent over, it would reveal their¡­!


    Damn capitalism!


    Decadent capitalists!


    So envious¡­


    When Zhang Zhixin saw this scene, he immediately teased with a laugh, ¡°How about it? Pretty, huh? They¡¯re all my handiwork!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned.


    WTF?


    What the heck?


    The women proudly peacocked, and Chen Cang found his breathing growing more rapid.


    Could this be the so-called:


    Prosperity through augmented assets?


    Really impressive!


    Chen Cang suddenly realized the benefits of being a plastic surgeon, girlfriends provided, modify at will, whatever you like¡­


    Even if you like men, you can help with that transformation too!


    Terrifying!


    Envious!


    Jealous!


    Expectant!


    A mixture of emotions surged in Chen Cang¡¯s mind, continuously assaulting his limits and moral bottom line.


    The largest nurse at the front desk chuckled and said, ¡°Mine are all-natural!¡±


    Chen Cang turned tail and ran.


    He suddenly felt he¡¯d been too hasty leaving the house that day.


    And¡­


    Had Boss Chen forgotten to remind me before I left: ¡°The women down the mountain are tigers, wildly fierce!¡±


    Suddenly, the front desk erupted in a chorus of pleasant voices and laughter.


    Ah, the joys of a private hospital¡­ this atmosphere¡­ these clothes¡­ this bosom¡­


    I really want to join them!


    It must be so warm.


    Following Zhang Zhixin to the next office and taking a seat, Zhang Zhixin said, ¡°Actually, cosmetic medicine isn¡¯t as complicated as you think, it¡¯s quite simple. Today you¡¯ll just assist me, watch, and learn.¡±


    ¡°And¡­ let¡¯s be honest here, it¡¯s different from the hospital. You work for yourself, earn your own money; beyond what you turn in to the company, the rest is yours.¡±


    ¡°Old Chen likes you quite a bit, doesn¡¯t want you to return to your hometown for financial reasons. He thinks you have potential, so he gave me a heads-up to mentor you.¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded!


    Is that so?


    Big Brother Chen still loves me.


    Chen Cang quickly replied with a sincere smile, ¡°Thank you, Teacher Zhang.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin smiled and said, ¡°In the future, just come directly when you have time. Focus on learning about double eyelid surgeries for now, one procedure at a time. Then, I¡¯ll find someone to enroll you in a class to get a cosmetic medicine certificate so you can practice more.¡±


    ¡°And I¡¯m familiar with your skills; they¡¯re quite good, very solid fundamentals. I can¡¯t promise much else, but if you come for a day, whether you perform surgery or not, you¡¯ll get a base salary of 300 bucks a day. How much more you make depends on your abilities. If you can do double eyelid surgeries independently, 5000 bucks per surgery, I¡¯ll give you 1000.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not the only person here; there¡¯s a lot of splitting the pot since there¡¯s significant investment in equipment. Giving you 1000 bucks per surgery is pretty good, and don¡¯t worry about clients, just do what a doctor needs to do.¡±


    At this point, Zhang Zhixin stood up and took a sip of water: ¡°We¡¯re all a team here, so get up to speed quickly. In the future, I¡¯ll call you when I come over, and you should come too, to get familiar and skilled as soon as possible!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face blushed and his neck swelled with the mention of so much money, his blood pounding in his cheeks!


    With the attitude of a man ready to die for those who appreciate him, eager to lick boots for money!


    ¡°Yes! Boss Zhang, I¡¯ll work tirelessly to the point of death!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin spurted out a mouthful of water: ¡°Kid, don¡¯t die on me; if you do, Old Chen would truly kill me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m starting to wonder¡­ hey, Little Chen, you share the same surname with Old Chen, any relation?¡±


    Chen Cang thought hard for a long while: ¡°No blood relation, I¡¯m O-type, he¡¯s A-type. And there¡¯s no unsavory relationship between men¡­¡±


    With some trepidation, Chen Cang asked, ¡°Boss Zhang¡­ are you¡­ jealous?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin: ¡°Pfft!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin sprayed out a mouthful of blood. What the hell would I be jealous about?


    ps: This book has officially been signed. I hope you can spare your extra votes for the seasoned author, thank you. After all, I¡¯m not a newcomer anymore and, to be honest, am quite looking forward to making it onto the signed author¡¯s new book list, which is also a means of promotion.

 Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The Wild Will Make Them Tremble with Fear!

    Chapter 12: The Wild Will Make Them Tremble with Fear!


    Translator: 549690339


    At that moment, a nurse at the reception knocked on the door; both men looked up, and Chen Cang noticed it was the same original beauty from before.


    ¡°Dr. Zhang, the first lady here for the double eyelid surgery, Ms. Qian, has arrived.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin nodded, turned to glance at Chen Cang, ¡°Alright, off you go, kid, stop staring and get to work!¡±


    Chen Cang roared inside his heart: I wasn¡¯t looking, I wasn¡¯t, you¡¯re talking nonsense! You¡¯re slandering me, framing me!


    Extremely reluctantly shifted his gaze away from the natural beauty¡­


    Causing the original girl to tremble like flowers swaying in the breeze.


    Chen Cang clutched his heart: Ouch, that hurts!


    [Xu Rou, receptionist at Zhixin Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, curvaceous figure, wild at heart, warning: Her level is too high, please keep your distance. Affinity: 1.]


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    Curvaceous figure, wild at heart?


    Isn¡¯t that exactly the type of woman I dream about on spring nights?


    Chen Cang quickly shook his head.


    No, no, her level is too high, I can¡¯t handle that.


    As the saying goes: Wildness will strike fear into their hearts!


    Plus, we¡¯re going to be colleagues, it¡¯s too close for comfort!


    With that thought, Chen Cang sighed.


    And furthermore¡­


    Upon seeing Xu Rou¡¯s watch, Chen Cang sobered up immediately.


    Chen Cang oh Chen Cang, where is your self-discipline as a poor guy?


    Thinking about his own wallet, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes instantly became clear.


    People!


    Without checking their Alipay balance, they don¡¯t know what being sober is.


    Sometimes, being poor is more effective than any medicine.


    Being poor! It instantly restores your rationality, fills you with motivation, dispenses with all unrealistic fantasies, and sobers you up in the face of temptation¡­


    That¡¯s right!


    Poverty cures all ills.


    Poverty leads to rationality.


    Wow! I¡¯m rhyming again, I¡¯m definitely more suited to writing than medicine.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The first surgery was for Ms. Qian, a woman in her thirties, dressed neatly and appropriately, as the nurse led her into the operating room.


    The woman¡¯s eyes were long and narrow, giving a somewhat eerie feeling, a bit like¡­ a fox?


    No, that¡¯s not right¡­


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t quite put it into words, but the overall impression was quite uncomfortable.


    Yes!


    She looked like a willow leaf!


    Chen Cang suddenly felt astonished; weren¡¯t willow leaf eyes and upturned eyebrows supposed to describe a beautiful woman? And phoenix eyes too are about charm in their narrowness!


    Chen Cang would bet that the ancients had some misconception about willow leaves.


    With the width and length of a willow leaf on your face, you expect to have seductive eyes like silk?


    If your eyes actually had the width and length of a willow leaf, congratulations, you¡¯re definitely ugly!


    This sister must have also suffered from the ¡°willow leaf eyes¡± for a long time and finally couldn¡¯t bear it and came to get it fixed?


    Maybe if I lift the eyelids a bit, it could make a difference?


    Chen Cang found that to practice cosmetic surgery, one must not only have superb medical skills but also possess an exceptionally high aesthetic sense!


    After all, a cosmetic surgeon is not merely a surgeon but also a designer and an artist!


    Thinking about this, Chen Cang even felt a tinge of admiration for the imposing and powerful Zhang Zhixin.


    However, Chen Cang still sensed something was off.


    How could this rough and tumble brute be an artist?


    He glanced at the distant Mirror, and by comparison¡­ he seemed more like a plastic surgeon who combined handsomeness + aesthetics + an artistic air + dexterity + exquisite medical skill!


    Nonetheless, it was Chen Cang¡¯s first time here, so he thought it best to keep a low profile, thus he remained silent.


    The woman gave a wry smile, ¡°Doctor Zhang, I¡¯m entrusting my future to you!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin was stunned for a moment, then made a joke, ¡°I¡­ am only responsible for product repairs, not for the peripheral services. I¡¯m going to do your double eyelid surgery, not take charge of your marriage and childbearing plans, which is a bit too difficult for me!¡±


    Ms. Qian was optimistic and laughed heartily, ¡°You have to believe in your skills. What if you do such a good job that I end up extremely beautiful?¡±


    Everyone laughed for a bit.


    Zhang Zhixin then seriously said, ¡°Okay, don¡¯t be nervous. Let me analyze it for you. Currently, your condition is more suitable for the fan-shaped type, which is one of the most classic double eyelid styles, resembling ¡®peach blossom eyes¡¯, popular among young girls.¡±


    At this point, Zhang Zhixin picked up a book from the table, which had many pictures of beautiful girls, ¡°The fan-shaped type is characterized by being narrow inside and wide outside, particularly fitting for someone with a moderate distance between the eyebrows and eyes and thinner eyelids like yours. After the surgery, the horizontal axis of your eyes will be at a certain angle to the ground, with the corners of your eyes slightly lifted, giving you a spirited and vivacious look.¡±


    ¡°Your current eyes are too flat and elongated, so the goal of the surgery is, based on the shape of your eyes, to lift your eyelids to create a double fold and let the corners of your eyes slightly lift, with a certain curvature. This will give you true ¡®willow leaf eyes¡¯, very beautiful.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin¡¯s explanation left Ms. Qian beaming, and through the Mirror, she seemed to glimpse her future.


    If a hospital saves health, then a plastic surgery hospital rescues beauty!


    One is a basic need; the other is an aspiration of the spirit.


    Ms. Qian suddenly asked with a smile, ¡°How much will it cost, Doctor?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin: ¡°The surgery fee is 6600, but since you were referred by Sister Zhang, let¡¯s make it 5000. However, you¡¯ll need to get out more and do some promotion for me once it¡¯s done well.¡±


    Ms. Qian was overjoyed. Five thousand wasn¡¯t much.


    As the saying goes: Youth spent without ¡°beautification¡± is in vain, and regret in old age is too late!


    Material basis determines the superstructure, Chen Cang looked at the Mirror again.


    Ah¡­ lucky to have a face that saves money!


    Tsk, tsk, tsk.


    Is handsomeness because of being poor?


    What flawless logic!


    The operating room here was very standard, not at all inferior to that of the provincial Second Hospital, which goes to show the robust power of capital. Plus, all the equipment looked new, giving off a decidedly expensive vibe.


    Zhang Zhixin said to Chen Cang, ¡°There will be six double eyelid surgeries today. Watch closely! You will start practicing tomorrow, so pay attention to what needs to be done and take note.¡±


    After that, he said to Ms. Qian, ¡°We¡¯re going to do the embedding method, no cutting. Even if the embedding method doesn¡¯t work out, we can make up for any inadequacy and further refine by cutting.¡±


    Ms. Qian nodded, ¡°Mhm, Doctor Zhang, I leave it all to you, do as you wish¡­ I¡¯m just afraid of pain!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin: #%¡­£¤


    Zhang Zhixin looked at Chen Cang, ¡°The embedding method uses sutures to directly bury the thread between the skin and the tarsal plate, causing adhesion between the upper eyelid skin and the tarsal plate to form a double eyelid. And the method I often use is the Qiu Wucai surgical technique or the Qiu-style embedding method.¡±


    The surgical process wasn¡¯t much different from usual, after disinfecting the eyes, drapes were placed.


    Zhang Zhixin whispered, ¡°Just close your eyes gently, don¡¯t move, and don¡¯t tense up. I¡¯m going to draw the double eyelid line for you.¡±


    Chen Cang saw Zhang Zhixin marking points on the inner, middle, and outer sections, three sets at c~d, a~b, e~f, with approximately a 2mm gap between each.


    Compared to Chen Cang, the nurse was far more professional, with the anesthetic injection already prepared.


    Zhang Zhixin extended his hand without a word, already offering it.


    ¡°We use 2% lidocaine and 0.75% bupivacaine for anesthesia, using infiltrative anesthesia.¡±


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly realized the scene before him had changed again!


    ps: Hehe, the new book just got signed, and the number of fans is 0. For those who like it, you can come and give a 1 yuan reward¡ªnot for the money¡­ it¡¯s just really hard to look at¡­

 Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Special Rewards

    Chapter 13: Special Rewards


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Cang suddenly found the color of the eyelids was yellow.


    What does yellow mean?


    He remembered clearly.


    Healthy organs are green in color, while lesions are red, and now there was yellow.


    What does yellow mean?


    Ding! Yellow represents the need for repair, indicating further improvement is needed to achieve perfection!


    Chen Cang was stunned.


    So that¡¯s how it is!


    However¡­


    When Chen Cang looked up again at Mrs. Qian, he suddenly noticed¡­ the corners of the lips, the root of the nose were all tinged with a hint of yellow.


    Did this mean that these areas could be corrected and perfected?


    Chen Cang nodded to himself in agreement, so that was the meaning.


    He turned around, his mind wandered, and he looked at himself in the Mirror.


    He nodded with satisfaction: not bad, no yellow on him, green all over, just perfect!


    Good, good!


    Green¡­ green¡­ green?!


    Pah!


    Still wanting green?


    Girlfriend-less and still daydreaming, wishful thinking!


    This feature was quite practical, appearing whenever he wished, and invisible otherwise, it was indeed a nice skill.


    The surgery continued.


    Ding! Ordinary single eyelid, a single eyelid despised by its owner, affecting the aesthetic of the face, lv15. Suggestion: Can be corrected to make the eyes more beautiful.


    The surgery kept progressing!


    Buried suture wasn¡¯t difficult, mainly the choice of point location was vital, followed by the process of stitching and burial, which was even more crucial!


    The stitching was directly related to the outcome of the surgery, affecting the future appearance of the eyelids.


    Zhang Zhixin was very careful!


    Using a double-needle suture technique, a size six absorbable suture with double needles was introduced at point A on the conjunctival surface, and then passed through the corresponding point on the skin surface. Another needle did the same, entering at the conjunctival point, piercing subcutaneously for 3mm before emerging at point B accordingly, before finally emerging from the entry point and passing shallowly through the eyelid plate from point A.


    The most critical step had come!


    Tying a knot!


    The knotted suture was buried underneath the skin!


    The first point was done!


    Chen Cang looked relaxed, but in reality, each stitch on the eyelid had to be precise and careful, with no room for negligence¡ªit was a step-by-step effort!


    Chen Cang realized that this was actually a combination of physical and meticulous work.


    The next points were to follow.


    The surgery lasted nearly an hour, Zhang Zhixin didn¡¯t move a muscle, completing each step in turn.


    Chen Cang, on the other hand, had many thoughts, but he also felt as if he was getting into the role a bit.


    The surgery was finished!


    He covered the double eyelids with eye pads!


    He said to Mrs. Qian, ¡°Rest here today, and I¡¯ll check the results tomorrow. The surgery went very well, and I¡¯m quite satisfied with it. Let the nurses clean and disinfect this area in the next couple of days. Don¡¯t touch it yourself, and remember to use the antibiotic eye drops for a week!¡±


    Mrs. Qian nodded, since it was just a local infiltration anesthesia, it hardly counted as any anesthesia.


    And moreover¡­


    Chen Cang felt that there was really no need for this upscale operating room¡­


    It could¡¯ve been done in a treatment room!


    Since it was a follow-along surgery, Chen Cang didn¡¯t get much of a reward.


    But it had opened a window for him.


    Surgical skills, you only possess them after you¡¯ve done them yourself; watching them countless times is not as good as doing it once.


    Nevertheless, Chen Cang was gradually getting into the profession.


    Today he had done a total of six or seven double eyelid surgeries, with Zhang Zhixin working non-stop, one after another, all by prior appointment.


    Chen Cang was also gradually getting into his role, from being at a loss at first to starting to help with retraction, acquiring some fundamental knowledge.


    Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but see Chen Cang in a new light.


    Just as Chen Bingsheng had said, Chen Cang did have a real talent for surgery, a promising candidate, and moreover, Chen Cang was very young, only in his twenties, which for a surgeon, age is the lifeline of their career!


    The earlier one starts, the better!


    After a tiring day, Chen Cang didn¡¯t feel bored, but rather, quite excited.


    The difference between plastic surgery and general surgery lies in finding faults!


    General surgery is about locating the lesion to be removed!


    While plastic surgery is about finding areas that are not suitable, to repair them.


    Very interesting!


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Chen Cang also completed the task given by Zhang Zhixin satisfactorily.


    Sitting in the office, Zhang Zhixin took out an envelope and handed it over, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard these two days, have you gained any insights?¡±


    Chen Cang declined, feeling that he couldn¡¯t accept it.


    Because he saw very clearly, Zhang Zhixin didn¡¯t need his help; he could manage all by himself.


    He was mentoring him, training him, or more accurately, cultivating him.


    With such kindness from someone else, Chen Cang naturally would not fail to appreciate it.


    He couldn¡¯t take the money.


    Chen Cang nodded slightly, ¡°I¡¯ve learned a lot, thank you for the mentorship, Mr. Zhang! But¡­ I can¡¯t take this money.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin¡¯s expression suddenly changed, and he stared solemnly at Chen Cang, ¡°Do you think your labor is worthless?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled!


    Zhang Zhixin continued, ¡°You are a doctor; your labor is valuable. You must not underestimate your own work. This is not about being polite; I¡¯m not giving out of pity but for cooperation. I pay you money, you do the work for me. Right now, you are like an apprentice, but you know, a talented apprentice is hard to find. Whether I¡¯m training you for your own good or because I want you to make money for me in the future, I¡¯m a businessman as well as a doctor. We adhere to equal cooperation; there is no such thing as obligatory labor here in a private hospital! So, you must take this money. Consider it your internship salary.¡±


    Having said that, Zhang Zhixin stood up and added, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll drive you home.¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded.


    He suddenly felt that Mr. Zhang¡¯s words made a lot of sense.


    I¡¯ve finally found the reason for my poverty.


    Sitting in the dominating chair, Chen Cang felt an air of authority enveloping him.


    [Ding! Mid-level NPC Zhang Zhixin has issued a task: Assist Zhang Zhixin for two days. Task completed, reward obtained: 1. Special reward; 2. RMB +1000;]


    Chen Cang was delighted!


    The task was completed.


    A thousand yuan, plus whatever was in the envelope Zhang Zhixin gave him, which according to him should be 600, meant a total gain of 1600 in two days.


    That felt pretty good!


    Keep up the effort next week.


    However, what excited Chen Cang even more was the other reward, the special reward!


    What was the special reward?


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to check it in the car, in case he would have a hard time explaining if a transformer or a life-size inflatable doll appeared.


    Chen Cang lived in an urban village where the rent was cheap.


    At the moment, the place was crowded, so Chen Cang said goodbye to Zhang Zhixin early and got out of the car.


    He quickly bought something to eat, returned to the rented room in the landlord¡¯s self-built house, locked the door, and before he could eat, Chen Cang washed his hands.


    After all, who knows whether luck has any use?


    He saw a lucky bag on the virtual screen.


    Chen Cang clicked to claim it!


    [Ding! Would you like to claim the special reward?]


    Chen Cang confirmed!


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have received the special reward: a lucky bag, which can randomly contain a gift when opened.]


    A lucky bag?


    What on earth is a lucky bag?


    Could there be a great treasure inside?


    ps: All suggestions are welcome, thank you!

    [Ding! The little fortune bag contains boundless treasures! Tip: The fortune bag is filled with a variety of magical items, and upon opening, you can randomly receive one. It could be a legendary item, or it could just be a single coin. The rarer the item, the smaller the chance of obtaining it.]


    Chen Cang understood, this was a luck-based gift pack.


    It¡¯s very likely you¡¯d get a coin, but you could also get a legendary item.


    Of course, Chen Cang felt that handsome people usually aren¡¯t too unlucky.


    With that thought,


    Chen Cang clicked to open it.


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired a special skill: Beauty¡¯s Gaze!]


    Beauty¡¯s Gaze?!


    At this moment, Chen Cang discovered that a new section had been added to his attribute panel.


    [Special Skill: Beauty¡¯s Gaze.


    Beauty¡¯s Gaze: Passive skill (Not upgradeable).]


    [Beauty¡¯s Gaze: Passive skill, mainly applicable to aesthetic surgery. Wearing this skill will help you simulate various cosmetic looks, better aiding you in the perfect planning of cosmetic surgery sites, designing the most perfect appearance. Tip: These are the eyes of an angel, used to discover the beauty in life. Wearing this skill, you become a designer of beauty.]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    Holy shit!


    This is an amazing skill!


    Is my luck really that great?


    This skill is like a cheat for a plastic surgeon.


    Beauty¡¯s Gaze could help him plan the cosmetic surgery site for others, designing the most beautiful appearance and style.


    Isn¡¯t this an amazing skill?


    It¡¯s like he was given a talent for plastic surgery.


    Wanting to become a plastic surgeon might be simple, but wanting to become an exceptional one, you must have a pursuit of beauty.


    You must possess an extraordinary aesthetic sense.


    It¡¯s about combining your facial structure¡¯s features to design the most suitable appearance for you.


    The same principle applies to hairstylists.


    Chen Cang suddenly felt that he had inadvertently acquired a powerful and magical passive skill.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh¡­ Calm down, calm down!


    But¡­


    What if I can¡¯t help it?


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ hahaha¡­¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t stop laughing.


    ¡°Wild Wolf is an attitude, Wild Wolf, Wild Wolf¡­¡±


    ¡°Thud thud thud!¡± A knocking sound suddenly arose, causing Chen Cang¡¯s voice to tremble involuntarily, even producing a slight dolphin pitch¡­


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Chen Cang walked to the door and asked with confusion.


    ¡°It¡¯s me, the landlord. I¡¯m knocking on the door! No, I mean, open the door!¡± The voice was indeed the landlord auntie,


    Chen Cang nodded and opened the door in response.


    A soul weighing over two hundred pounds was panting at the doorway, and Chen Cang said with a smile, ¡°Auntie, what brings you up here today?¡±


    The auntie sighed, ¡°Let¡¯s talk inside.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the auntie, who weighed over two hundred pounds, hesitated for three seconds, and decided not to close the door¡­ just in case she coveted his beauty, he could still cry out for help.


    After she came in, the auntie found a chair and sat down directly: ¡°Chen Cang, I need to talk to you.¡±


    Chen Cang stood up straight, involuntarily taking a step back, ¡°Go ahead, Auntie.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t have a dislike for fat people, but he felt that¡­ this was a weight of life he couldn¡¯t bear.


    The auntie waved her hand, ¡°Come closer, I have something to show you.¡±


    While talking, he pulled on the zipper.


    ¡­


    He then took out a cell phone from his jacket pocket, opened the photo gallery, and said, ¡°Take a look.¡±


    Chen Cang looked skeptical as he took the cell phone, his eyes widening, ¡°Relocation?¡±


    The aunt nodded, ¡°Yep, there¡¯s going to be a relocation, and you won¡¯t be able to stay here for much longer. You better start looking for a place soon.¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Okay.¡±


    The aunt saw Chen Cang¡¯s disappointment, ¡°Don¡¯t miss me too much. I think you¡¯re a decent young man, just a bit too young, not suitable.¡±


    Chen Cang was terrified and quickly nodded, ¡°Right, right, Auntie, you¡¯re absolutely correct!¡±


    The aunt gave Chen Cang a meaningful look: I knew you had a thing for me, kid.


    At that glance, Chen Cang was filled with panic.


    The aunt continued, ¡°Ah, once the place is torn down, I¡¯ll get ten apartments, plus two storefronts, and 8 million in relocation compensation. Still feels like something is missing, it¡¯s all so empty.¡±


    ¡°Since your uncle passed away, it¡¯s just been me and my daughter, toughing it out, poor souls we are.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t handle everything by myself. I am an only child, and so was your uncle. With four elderly folks to look after, all in need of relocating, getting houses and storefronts, and several million in settlement fees, it¡¯s just too much for one person.¡±


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, quickly pretending he didn¡¯t hear!


    Auntie, if you keep this up, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to resist marrying you!


    The landlord aunt wasn¡¯t lying. In this urban village, she originally owned four houses. Her father was the village chief, and their family didn¡¯t have much besides houses. After the area became part of the urban village, they constructed a five-story building on the original site for rental business. Then she got married, and her husband also brought several houses¡­


    All in all, they had about seven or eight houses¡­


    This demolition turned them into millionaires!


    But now, just from these eight houses, they have a monthly income of several hundreds of thousands, earning millions in rent each year.


    Chen Cang¡¯s rent was 900 a month, with six rooms on one floor, totaling five floors.


    After all, there¡¯s no place cheaper in the surroundings.


    Suddenly, the aunt¡¯s eyes rolled, ¡°Chen, have you got a partner yet?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, then quickly remembered something and nodded, ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m about to have one!¡±


    The landlord aunt was taken aback for a moment, seeming incredulous!


    ¡°Someone would want you, as poor as you are?¡±


    ¡°Stop kidding, you kid, I haven¡¯t seen you with a girl in two years!¡±


    Chen Cang felt a tightness in his chest, as if his heart was experiencing a crushing pain.


    There¡¯s an old saying, ¡°Don¡¯t hit a man in the face, don¡¯t expose someone¡¯s shortcomings!¡±


    Do not mock a youth for their poverty!


    At that, the landlord aunt let out a chuckle, ¡°How about I set you up with someone?¡±


    Chen Cang felt so wronged he almost cried: Auntie, I can¡¯t handle it¡­


    ¡°My daughter is coming back to the country. How about I introduce you to her? That little rascal has been staying in South Korea all this time, but this time I¡¯m definitely bringing her back. I think you¡¯re quite good, aside from being a bit poor, you don¡¯t have other flaws. Honest and straightforward, and a doctor too, all pretty good. I quite like you. What do you say?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Auntie, I appreciate your kindness and am honored by your high regard, but I¡­ I might not stay in Anyang city, I might return to my hometown after a few years. I can¡¯t afford to keep your daughter.¡±


    The aunt confidently retorted, ¡°I¡¯ll support you both!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    The landlord aunt: ¡°That¡¯s not a problem at all. If you win over my daughter, aren¡¯t all these apartments, storefronts, and the settlement money yours to keep? Think about it!¡±


    Chen Cang pondered, and it really made sense!


    So tempting!


    But Chen Cang immediately snapped to his senses, aware that the apple doesn¡¯t fall far from the tree.


    He vividly remembered his first time renting the apartment, having met a woman who was one meter seventy tall and weighed a hundred and seventy¡­


    Thinking about the powerful genes running in the family, Chen Cang shuddered.


    This money isn¡¯t easy to earn!

 Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Chen Cang, A Drop in the Ocean (Important Chapter, Must Read to the End)

    Chapter 15: Chen Cang, A Drop in the Ocean (Important Chapter, Must Read to the End)


    Translator: 549690339


    The landlord aunt continued, ¡°Let¡¯s collaborate. If you can keep my daughter from going abroad and have her stay here, I¡¯ll rent you a place for free!¡±


    At this point, the landlord aunt seemed somewhat disheartened, ¡°My daughter doesn¡¯t want to return to the country; however, my health isn¡¯t good, and I have to take care of her grandparents on both sides. The five of us are like five empty-nest elders.¡±


    ¡°Once this girl goes abroad, she¡¯ll become ambitious and look down on our Anyang City. She only wants to make a big impact somewhere else, but that¡¯s just nonsense. This time, I just want to keep my daughter here so that later on she can take care of me in my old age, find a good son-in-law, and have a stable life.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re not greedy for wealth. We¡¯re just common folks from the village with no special talents. It¡¯s only because times are good and policies are favorable that an old woman like me can earn this much money, and I¡¯m already content with that.¡±


    Actually, the landlord aunt is quite nice and often looks after the tenants. She doesn¡¯t constantly nag about the rent, as long as you pay what you owe when you can.


    During festivals, she also gives out mooncakes, dumplings, and rice dumplings, full of human kindness.


    But ever since her daughter graduated from high school, she went abroad to study¡ªbecause she didn¡¯t get into a good university, the family had the money to send her away.


    She¡¯s also a pitiable person!


    At this thought, Chen Cang suddenly started!


    Chen Cang, you¡¯ve become arrogant!


    Do you dare to pity a billionaire?


    After sharing her troubles, the landlord aunt left.


    And Chen Cang didn¡¯t take it seriously, since the landlord aunt often came to chat with him about this and that, and he didn¡¯t mind because he¡¯s easygoing and used to it.


    However, this time, Chen Cang had to seriously consider the matter of renting.


    With the village within the city being demolished, he needed to find a new place to live.


    Where to rent?


    Everywhere¡¯s expensive!


    He downloaded an app called 58 Town and found the one-bedroom apartments near the hospital were all over 1500, and that¡¯s not even including utilities and property fees. It would be impossible to get away with spending less than 2000 yuan a month!


    Chen Cang sighed deeply.


    Although he now had a system that generated some income every day, Chen Cang dreaded the possibility of it disappearing one day. What then?


    When you¡¯re used to being poor, you develop a sense of crisis, fearing a return to your former state.


    In the quiet of the night, as Chen Cang looked out at the city slipping into darkness, he sighed. In such a vast city, he didn¡¯t even have a place to call home.


    The self-built house had a huge balcony, and Chen Cang stepped out onto it, observing the bustling life and homey vibes of the village within the city around him, and the glitzy high-rises a few hundred meters away. It was as if he was caught between two worlds.


    There seemed to be endless temptation and motivation there, with countless people struggling their whole lives just to settle down in the provincial capital.


    Chen Cang wanted that too.


    No, Chen Cang didn¡¯t even dare to dream of it before because it was too far-fetched.


    Heh¡­ Is he being pessimistic?


    Of course not. In fact, most of the time, he¡¯s quite optimistic.


    Optimistic?


    That¡¯s because he keeps his sadness inside, his inferiority deep down.


    People are always like that.


    It¡¯s only in the dead of night that you realize what you¡¯re truly like.


    It¡¯s only when you¡¯re alone in a corner that you dare to confront the truest part of yourself, deep inside.


    Gazing into the night, Chen Cang silently made a small plan for his life.


    Chen Cang is from a rural background, with parents who are honest, down-to-earth farmers, and he also has a younger brother who started university that year. With two boys to raise, the pressure on his parents was immense.


    It¡¯s not that Chen Cang couldn¡¯t get into graduate school, to be honest, he couldn¡¯t afford it!


    Not to mention the tuition fees of 8000 yuan a year, including accommodation, which would run over 10,000 yuan.


    And that¡¯s excluding food and drink.


    Medical students get a subsidy of 6000 yuan a year from the government. Indeed, there are national scholarships available, but do you really think they¡¯re easy to get?


    He thought about returning to the local hospital, but even if he wanted to go back, he needed connections, which would also cost money.


    Five years studying medicine, five years living off his parents.


    Honestly, Chen Cang was scared!


    He wasn¡¯t afraid of hardship or toil. If he was, he wouldn¡¯t have chosen the emergency department.


    In private hospitals, you can grab a lot of money and work without a conscience.


    But Chen Cang still had a soft heart. His father, a simple and honest man, taught him two life principles since he was young: honesty and integrity.


    Chen Cang spent half a year at a private institution before resigning. Just then, the Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s emergency department was hiring temporary staff, so he took the opportunity and started working there.


    That lasted more than two years!


    In those two years, despite being a bit bitter, tired, and poor, Chen Cang felt he had something to strive for; after all, he could learn a lot in emergency care and he had met a good teacher: Chen Bingsheng.


    Chen Cang had been greatly influenced by Chen Bingsheng¡¯s character over these two years.


    According to his initial plan, he would just study hard here for five or six years, hopefully rising to the position of attending physician, and then he could return to his hometown where he could directly enter a department and become a core member.


    Chen Cang never overestimated himself because life always makes it crystal clear that you¡¯re just an ordinary person, a grain of sand in the sea, insignificant, just an ordinary citizen, and even that status was debatable.


    Just an ordinary doctor!


    He¡¯s just a doctor, not a god, right?


    What angels?


    Don¡¯t doctors need to eat?


    Don¡¯t doctors need a dowry when they get married?


    Don¡¯t doctors need to buy houses when they get married?


    Or do you not have to pay off a mortgage?


    It¡¯s all nonsense.


    A doctor¡¯s duty is to treat diseases and save lives, but doctors are still human. Humans have emotions and desires, household needs, and all sorts of worries.


    Chen Cang was genuinely afraid of being poor.


    Now that he finally had a way to make money, he cherished it like nothing else, and to be honest, it was as if it had given Chen Cang a second chance at hope.


    Now Chen Cang had something to strive for, to settle down in this place.


    He also had his own dreams.


    But dreams, you see, you can only talk about them when you have money. Without money, all you can talk about is surviving.


    Sometimes, frankly, dreams weigh heavily, and life deters you from chasing them.


    Although it¡¯s ironic, it¡¯s also very true.


    Sure, you can abandon everything to chase your dreams. You could! But Chen Cang couldn¡¯t do it, and neither could most people.


    As the eldest son, Chen Cang had a strong sense of responsibility. His parents, old farmers, in their spare time, worked as cooks during weddings and funerals in the village, earning a little money.


    But relying solely on that, to put two students through university, simply wasn¡¯t feasible.


    In the rural areas of Dongyang Province, everyone grows corn, and the Chen Family¡¯s plot of five acres and a little over yields good earnings of ten thousand yuan in a fruitful year. But when the harvest is less bountiful, they only manage to scrape together seven or eight thousand. After all, they eat at the mercy of the heavens.


    Being a chef had also been a profession in the Chen Family since the grandfather¡¯s generation in the village. Later on, Old Chen took over, and throughout the year, he could earn quite a sum, around ten or eight thousand yuan. With some odd jobs here and there, they could barely piece together thirty thousand yuan for the year.


    But nowadays, what can you do with thirty thousand yuan?


    If Chen Cang continued with his postgraduate studies, the financial gap for the family would widen, adding to his parents¡¯ burden and increasing the pressure on his younger brother. Chen Cang could not bring himself to do such a thing.


    Everyone has their own life, and at the same time, everyone must make choices about their lives.


    Chen Cang did not choose to give up. Working as a temp in this provincial capital was his final struggle.


    Therefore, he had to seize and secure this opportunity for a permanent position.


    After all, this was his only chance to stay in this provincial capital.


    Chen Cang was very frugal. In two years, he had earned less than fifty thousand yuan, yet he managed to save over twenty thousand¡ªa feat not just anyone could achieve.


    Sometimes, poverty isn¡¯t just a joke.


    It¡¯s the last straw that breaks the back of an adult.


    The collapse of an adult begins, most often, with borrowing money.


    When Chen Cang was in school, poverty, to him, meant nothing more than choosing between having a steamed bun or an extra chicken leg at night¡ªit did not dampen his happiness. But when he fell in love with a girl, he deeply felt the inferiority and helplessness that poverty brings.


    Pillows stuffed with moldy dreams, inside which lived the people he couldn¡¯t have.


    It was then that Chen Cang suddenly realized.


    Life really did contain much pettiness and not just the wolfberries in a cup of tea¡­


    As for poetry and distance, those were for people without worries.


    The night was silent.


    The next day, Chen Cang got up early and went to the hospital.


    The emergency room was as busy as ever. Old Chen, who was on duty, saw Chen Cang arrive and quickly waved his hand, ¡°Hurry, let¡¯s go, no time to change clothes, come with me to an off-site emergency!¡±


    Chen Cang, seeing Old Chen¡¯s serious expression, quickly followed, ¡°Big brother, what¡¯s happened?¡±


    Old Chen¡¯s face was somber. As they walked, he said, ¡°There¡¯s been an electrocution at the construction site, and the victim is now unconscious. Someone just dialed 120.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s face also changed!


    Unconscious after electrocution¡­


    This was no small matter.


    Because it was the Monday morning rush hour, the roads were congested. Chen Bingsheng was feeling frantic and even a bit anxious.


    ¡°Master Yang, please hurry! This won¡¯t do, at this rate the patient will be gone!¡±


    ¡°Red light! We¡¯ve got to run it! The patient doesn¡¯t have much time to spare!¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t we not allowed to run a red light without a patient? Ah, crap! What kind of stupid rule is this!¡±


    ¡°Quickly, quickly! There¡¯s no time!¡±


    After seven or eight minutes, the ambulance arrived at the Nansha River construction site. The vehicle hadn¡¯t even come to a complete stop before Chen Bingsheng, with the medical kit in hand, leapt out in a big stride, with Chen Cang right behind him.


    At this point, the patient was already unconscious. A man in his fifties, clad in camouflaged clothing and covered in dust and dirt, saw the ambulance and loudly urged, ¡°Make way, make way, the doctor is here!¡±


    As the crowd parted, the man hurriedly said, ¡°Doctor, he just had breathing and a faint heartbeat a moment ago, but¡­ but it was there, and now¡­ now it seems to have stopped? Please, take a look, what do we do now?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Bingsheng¡¯s face darkened instantly and he rushed forward to examine the patient.


    The victim lay there, pale and colorless. Chen Bingsheng knelt on the ground, placed his right hand on the carotid artery, his ear close for breathing, and his eyes on the chest. Seconds passed and with the stethoscope, he checked the heart¡¯s listening areas. His face grew increasingly grim.


    He got up and asked, ¡°How did the electrocution happen? Did anyone see it?¡±


    The man in the camouflage uniform, with dirt and ash on his face, said, ¡°I saw it. The wire was broken, and after he turned off the circuit breaker, he started to repair it. He was pulling the wires with both hands, trying to bring them together, but right at that moment, he suddenly felt a shudder in his body. I realized something was wrong and used a stick to get him down.¡±


    By this time, a young man behind them had already been scared to tears, ¡°I didn¡¯t know he was fixing the circuit, our workgroup had a power outage, so I came to check. I found the breaker was off. There was no one around, no sign, so I turned it back on¡­because the site often trips due to short circuits¡­I¡­I didn¡¯t know.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng didn¡¯t bother with these matters; he only wanted to know how the electrocution happened, what kind of electrocution it was!


    But hearing what the man in camouflage said, Chen Bingsheng couldn¡¯t help but feel a chill in his heart.


    Trans-thoracic current¡­


    It¡¯s a bit tricky!


    What is a trans-thoracic current? It¡¯s the current that travels from one hand to the other hand. This kind of current passes through the heart during its journey and can easily cause coronary spasms, leading to myocardial damage!


    This was serious!


    Chen Bingsheng reacted very quickly and immediately started cardiopulmonary resuscitation.


    But¡­ after two sets, there was still no response!


    Chen Bingsheng stood up, ¡°Little Chen, keep doing CPR and assist breathing, don¡¯t stop!¡±


    Rescue time was critical!


    Chen Bingsheng pulled down the transport stretcher from the ambulance, ¡°Come on, get him on the vehicle! Hook up the ECG, let¡¯s see what¡¯s happening.¡±


    The men were all burly, so it didn¡¯t take much effort to get the patient onto the vehicle.


    Using scissors to cut open the clothes, they went straight to cardiac monitoring!


    Chen Bingsheng and Chen Cang exchanged a glance, ¡°It¡¯s fibrillation¡­¡±


    Making a snap decision, Chen Bingsheng told Mr. Yang, ¡°Mr. Yang, rush to the hospital!¡±


    He turned to look at the crowd, ¡°Who among you is a relative? Is there a manager? Come to the hospital with us.¡±


    Everyone looked at each other, nodding without saying a word.


    No one wanted to take responsibility for this kind of incident!


    At that moment, the older man in camouflage, in his fifties, stood up, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    The young man who had just turned the breaker back on also hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m coming too.¡±


    In the ambulance, there was a defibrillator, cardiac monitor, and oxygen ¨C all very convenient.


    One shock from the defibrillator!


    No effect!


    The second time!


    Still no effect!


    The fibrillation continued.


    If the fibrillation didn¡¯t stop, there would be no chance of survival at all.


    If it continued like this, the patient¡¯s life would reach its end!


    ps: In this book, every person has a story, everyone has a place they belong. This book is about the doctors I¡¯ve seen, their lives, they are just ordinary people.


    Chen Cang can be tough, but Chen Cang has his own difficulties. Life is never easy, why not face it with a smile? Chen Cang¡¯s ¡®Cang¡¯ is the ¡®cang¡¯ from a grain in the vast ocean and the transformation of seas into mulberry fields.

 Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Life and Death Wires

    Chapter 16: Life and Death Wires


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°`


    Chen Bingsheng was no stranger to life and death, but it was precisely because of this that he valued life all the more.


    Everyone didn¡¯t want to slip away so easily.


    Sometimes, life felt like sand held in the hand; when it¡¯s damp, you don¡¯t realize how precious it is, but as the sand dries and slips through your fingertips, you suddenly find that life can no longer be grasped!


    Reverence for life is the foremost quality of a doctor!


    [Ding! Emergency rescue mission triggered, save this patient; successful resuscitation will reward: 1. Stamina Potion +1; 2. Experience +100; 3. RMB +1000;]


    With the mission triggered, Chen Cang had no time to look!


    No matter what the mission was, this person had to be saved¡ªit was a doctor¡¯s duty.


    ¡°Adrenaline 1ml!¡±


    Chen Cang was already prepared.


    Their tacit understanding had been honed from the first day of admission.


    ¡°Continue CPR!¡±


    ¡°Defibrillate, keep defibrillating, increase the voltage!¡±


    Chen Cang continued, but unfortunately¡­


    There was still no response from the patient, and the ventricular fibrillation persisted.


    After a moment of hesitation, Chen Bingsheng said, ¡°Amiodarone!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and injected the amiodarone!


    If the fibrillation wasn¡¯t stopped, they couldn¡¯t proceed with the subsequent rescue.


    ¡°Injection complete!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng: ¡°Keep defibrillating!¡±


    The intensive resuscitation environment in the vehicle seemed to make breathing almost come to a halt.


    Time truly became the hourglass of life.


    No one knew when it would run out.


    The man in camouflage was full of hope, his eyes unwaveringly fixed on the heart monitor. He didn¡¯t understand what resuscitation meant, but he knew that if the irregular fluctuating line on the monitor stopped and became flat, life¡­ would be gone.


    The sweat of tension had already drenched his clothes, and his hands clenched the hems of his garment as if it were the last prayer. At this moment, he felt more tension and fatigue than the hardest physical labor.


    The irregular bouncing on the heart monitor had become his only hope.


    He dared not speak, fearing he might disturb the doctors¡¯ rescue efforts.


    He dared not move, fearing his mistake might cause his fellow villager to never open his eyes again.


    At this moment, life was truly fragile.


    This was a gamble with the Grim Reaper!


    And the young man had never witnessed such a scene before.


    Perhaps out of fear, his hands began to tremble, his eyes filled with terror and anxiety, and there was pleading. He was praying for the elder to survive, for the doctor to correct his mistake, for Death to take pity on this young man.


    Some mistakes, others have to take the blame for you.


    Some people, carry on despite the heaviness.


    Suddenly, at that moment, the man in camouflage shivered.


    Because he saw that the line on the heart monitor had flattened.


    The man could not hold back, and tears streamed down instantly.


    ¡°Doctor, it¡¯s gone! There¡¯s no heartbeat, is he dead? Save him! His child is only 6 years old!¡±


    The man in camouflage fell to his knees, and the young man, shocked and bewildered, also knelt down.


    Both were strong men, iron-willed in their own lives, but at this moment, in the face of a coworker¡¯s life, all of that seemed incredibly cheap.


    Chen Bingsheng was also taken aback: ¡°Adrenaline 3mg, hurry!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, with no superfluous movements.


    Inject!


    ¡°`


    Cardiopulmonary resuscitation.


    Chen Bingsheng turned and asked, ¡°How much longer until we reach the hospital?¡±


    Master Yang replied, ¡°One minute and fifteen seconds!¡±


    Indeed, as a 120 ambulance driver.


    His timing was accurate to the second.


    This was the lifeline.


    It was also a journey with Death!


    The three milliliters of adrenaline might have taken effect, or maybe it was because Chen Cang¡¯s cardiopulmonary resuscitation had never ceased.


    The man¡¯s heartbeat appeared.


    But his vital signs were still not stable.


    The blood pressure was very low!


    Cardiopulmonary resuscitation!


    After over ten minutes of intense cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Chen Cang felt as if his arms were no longer his own, but automatic memory kept him going, or perhaps he didn¡¯t dare stop.


    There it was!


    A heartbeat!


    Everyone was tensely watching this scene as the vehicle arrived at the emergency room entrance.


    Qin Yue, who was waiting outside, came up to open the door immediately. Everyone was already too familiar with this procedure.


    The patient was carried out, and the oxygen tank was set aside.


    Chen Cang¡¯s arms were sore and he could hardly lift them, so he carefully got out of the ambulance.


    Qin Yue glanced at Chen Cang and quickly said, ¡°You go and rest first.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Cardiopulmonary resuscitation must not stop.¡±


    Qin Yue insisted, pulling Chen Cang away, ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡±


    After saying that, Qin Yue climbed onto the stretcher without any regard for appearances. Thankfully she was slim; she straddled the stretcher, positioning her legs on each side, and began compressing the chest.


    In that moment, she was not a cute girl, but a warrior!


    A white-coated warrior with a strong sense of mission!


    Doctors are never angels but warriors, except they protect health and fight against disease and pain.


    The rescue work became more urgent, as if waging a tug-of-war with Death.


    The ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation along the way might have had some effect, as heart function began to gradually recover.


    But¡­


    The trans-thoracic electric shock was not so easily treatable.


    Chen Bingsheng observed the patient¡¯s status and said to the emergency internist Wu Peng, ¡°Trans-thoracic electric current caused ventricular fibrillation, likely not at a high voltage, probably household voltage, so there weren¡¯t any major problems, but there were over a dozen incidents of ventricular fibrillation en route. I injected a total of 4ml of adrenaline and amiodarone¡­¡±


    Speaking, Chen Bingsheng lifted the patient¡¯s hands, where two distinct, charred burns appeared, each about 1cm in diameter.


    Wu Peng, who specialized in cardiology, had his own set of emergency cardiac procedures.


    He said to Chen Bingsheng, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard, take a rest now, leave it to me.¡±


    But Chen Cang followed Wu Peng; he hoped to save a life!


    It was his obsession with life.


    Although there were still some issues with the patient¡¯s electrocardiogram, at least there was no ventricular fibrillation. Wu Peng quickly ordered, ¡°Now, run tests right away for cardiac enzymes, urinalysis, myoglobin, and creatine kinase!¡±


    ¡°Call the lab and ask for the results ASAP!¡±


    ¡°Call the echocardiogram room, we need a bedside echocardiogram to check cardiac function!¡±


    Wu Peng arranged things nervously but in an orderly fashion, while Qin Yue stood beside, sweating profusely.


    Regardless, the patient¡¯s condition had stabilized.


    [Ding! Mission complete, successful resuscitation, patient temporarily out of danger. Reward received: 1. Stamina Potion +1, 2. Experience +100, 3. RMB +1000.]

    Chapter 17: A Hundred People, A Hundred Characters

    Chen Cang sat in his office, rubbed his sour shoulders, and looked at the rewards on the virtual screen.


    Thinking of the patient¡¯s gradually stabilizing EKG, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Perhaps the greatest sense of achievement as a doctor lies in this?


    Just then, Qin Yue walked in and saw Chen Cang, patting his shoulder, ¡°What are you laughing at?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°I was just thinking of something happy.¡±


    ¡°So, you¡¯re not complaining anymore?¡±


    Qin Yue used to sport straight bangs, but now she had a ponytail. However, her face still exuded the charm of a young anime girl, especially her big eyes that seemed to always have endless stories to tell, giving her an aura of a two-dimensional style.


    Qin Yue rolled her eyes at Chen Cang, assuming the air of someone who¡¯s seen it all, ¡°Sister here is a female warrior! Not some little girl! Besides, you¡¯re such a typical straight guy, you don¡¯t understand women at all, women are always saying one thing but meaning another! By the way, if you need help finding a date, I can teach you a few tricks!¡±


    ¡°However¡­ Perhaps being a doctor, you might only feel existence and happiness at such times, seeing all the precious lives being saved, and especially saved by yourself, which gives a strong sense of mission and responsibility!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, rose to his feet, and left; he still had a lot of work to do.


    The recent emergency was just an ordinary and common episode in the work of the emergency department.


    After washing his face in the duty room and changing into a white coat, Chen Cang felt his arms were aching unbearably.


    It seemed he really needed to strengthen his exercise.


    However¡­


    Hadn¡¯t he just obtained a ¡°physical strength potion¡±?


    What was that?


    [Ding! Physical strength potion, this is a potion that, after use, can stimulate physical potential and enhance physical fitness.]


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up, could this be something good?


    However¡­


    Is it for external use or to be taken orally?


    The system ignored him, and Chen Cang felt a wave of emotions.


    With a thought, he pulled out the potion and downed it.


    Instantly, he felt a refreshing sensation spreading through his limbs and body¡­ It felt as though his life had reached a climax!


    He felt his body awakening its inner abilities; at this moment, it seemed like his whole body was growing.


    And so¡­


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but moan.


    ¡°Ah~ ah~¡­¡±


    Right?


    He carefully opened his trousers to check, but there didn¡¯t seem to be much change!


    At that moment, Qin Yue happened to open the door and heard Chen Cang¡¯s moans.


    Her face turned red instantly, but then she saw Chen Cang holding his trousers¡­ Her eyes widened as she scrutinized him meticulously.


    Could he be doing some unspeakable secret?


    With that thought, Qin Yue¡¯s curiosity surged, and she wanted to find out more¡­ She tiptoed, held her breath, and anticipated Chen Cang¡¯s next move¡­


    But Chen Cang had already heard her and turned around.


    Qin Yue¡¯s face tensed immediately, putting on an interrogating look, ¡°What the hell are you doing in the duty room?¡±


    Chen Cang quickly fixed his trousers and smiled awkwardly, ¡°Just stretching¡­¡±


    Qin Yue looked doubtful, ¡°Really? Were you up to something naughty?¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless, ¡°Fujoshi¡­ must¡¯ve gone moldy!¡±


    Qin Yue sniffed hard, seemingly not detecting any strange smell, and glared at Chen Cang, ¡°Don¡¯t make those weird noises again, they can be misunderstood!¡±


    Chen Cang beat a hasty retreat.


    [Ding! Qin Yue¡¯s goodwill +3!]


    Chen Cang was taken aback.


    What the heck?


    What kind of magical woman was this?


    ¡°`


    Chen Cang automatically filled in an image in his mind: a whip in his left hand, a candle in his right, dressed in¡­


    Ding! Daily task triggered: perform ten sutures. Task reward: Gain Suturing Experience +100, Experience +100, RMB +100.


    Complete ten sutures today?


    That might not be possible.


    I don¡¯t have that many patients needing sutures every day.


    Looks like the task might not be completed?


    But looking at all these experience points and gold coins¡­


    Chen Cang shook his head: Snatch the task?


    It¡¯s a good choice.


    Province No. 2 Hospital¡¯s Emergency Department is famous throughout Dongyang Province. Even the emergency centers in Anyang City need to coordinate with Province No. 2 Hospital.


    After handing over the shift, Chen Bingsheng finished the night shift and felt mentally exhausted from the morning¡¯s ordeal.


    However, Chen Cang still went with Chen Bingsheng to check on the patient.


    Upon entering, the patient had already opened his eyes. Although the blood pressure was still low, the vital signs had stabilized. Seeing Chen Bingsheng and Chen Cang coming in, the man in camouflage and the young lad hurriedly came forward to greet them.


    ¡°Thank you both, really, thank you so much. Dr. Wu just said that if you hadn¡¯t saved him in time, it would have definitely been too late. You¡¯re a good person, doctor!¡±


    The young guy couldn¡¯t help nodding continuously. Such tremendous joy and sorrow was overwhelmingly impactful!


    Chen Bingsheng shook his head: ¡°You should rest outside. Contact your boss. The patient¡¯s condition can¡¯t be said to be stable yet and he needs further treatment. Don¡¯t stay in here; let him rest.¡±


    The two were very convinced by Chen Bingsheng¡¯s words and nodded in agreement.


    Chen Cang looked at the tired Chen Bingsheng: ¡°Boss, go rest. I¡¯ve got this covered here.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng smiled: ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    Chen Cang followed with a smile. After two years with Old Chen, the phrase he said most was ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    It seemed as though even if the sky fell, this man would still smile and say it¡¯s nothing.


    Just like An Yanjun likes to say ¡°No.¡± It¡¯s the same principle.


    The most common thing Director An told patients every day was: ¡°No!¡±


    This is a person of very strong principles.


    Nothing much going on in the morning, just writing medical records. There weren¡¯t many inpatients in emergency, since each bed in emergency was precious. Stable patients were either discharged or transferred to the inpatient department.


    All of a sudden, the head nurse came in: ¡°Xiao Chen, Director An is quite busy in outpatient care right now. Dr. Wang has gone to get married too, and he¡¯s too busy by himself. If you¡¯re available, could you go and help out?¡±


    Ding! Head Nurse Tian Lanxiang has issued a task: Assist An Yanjun in the outpatient clinic, Task completion reward: Tian Lanxiang¡¯s Favor +5.


    Alright, a favor task, not bad at all!


    Having a good relationship with the head nurse would certainly make future work easier.


    Chen Cang tidied up and headed to the emergency outpatient clinic.


    An Yanjun was an associate chief physician, mainly dealing with emergency hand surgery, but there were many miscellaneous diseases in emergency surgery, the majority of which were trauma.


    Especially in the emergency outpatient clinic, most of the patients had traumas.


    Just as he entered, Chen Cang was stunned: four or five people had many glass shards embedded in their legs, stomachs, arms.


    A man said: ¡°Doctor, you just help us pull them out, and that¡¯s it, really no problem!¡±


    An Yanjun answered calmly: ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°We still have a ton of things to do today. It¡¯s just a common injury, stick a couple of band-aids, wrap a bandage, and it¡¯ll be fine. We do rough work, we¡¯re not that delicate. If we can¡¯t finish today¡¯s work, our effort will go to waste!¡± The man spoke anxiously, almost wishing he could immediately pull out the glass shards from the window himself.


    An Yanjun continued shaking his head: ¡°No, I can¡¯t just listen to you. Hurry up and call your boss. The wounds are too deep, and they might get infected if not sutured. Plus, you¡¯ll need to get a tetanus vaccine.¡±


    The man was startled. Hearing all these complicated steps made him swallow hard: ¡°Is it expensive?¡±


    An Yanjun looked up at several men covered in dust and dirt, their clothes soiled with dust, wearing thick, sturdy leather gloves on their hands.


    As they continued to bleed, An Yanjun saw Chen Cang coming over and quickly stood up: ¡°Xiao Chen, come and help me clean and suture these wounds.¡±


    After speaking, An Yanjun moved towards the door, afraid that the patients might leave. Turning around, he said: ¡°Don¡¯t pull it out recklessly; if the glass shards are inside, it¡¯s even harder to handle!¡±


    ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! Those who have eaten too many mooncakes can vote¡­ if you haven¡¯t eaten too much, voting will get you mooncakes.

 Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Anesthesia for Free

    Chapter 18: Anesthesia for Free


    Translator: 549690339


    In the treatment room, four or five people were sitting there, with Chen Cang and An Yanjun each taking action.


    Chen Cang was treating a simple-looking young man in his twenties who couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What happened here, with so much glass?¡±


    The young man sighed, ¡°We work at a glass factory. A piece of glass shot out of a machine, hit the wall, and shattered, spraying onto us.¡±


    At this point, the young man smiled with relief, ¡°Luckily I reacted quickly, or the glass would have hit my face, and my face would have definitely been ruined!¡±


    Chen Cang felt a surge of fear!


    Was this just a matter of ruining a face?


    The human body has too many fragile parts, and one carelessness could cost a life¡­


    Thinking of the young man¡¯s light-hearted tone, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh a few times.


    When Chen Cang was disinfecting the wound, the man didn¡¯t make a sound, even though it¡¯s very painful for iodine to get into cuts!


    Chen Cang curiously asked, ¡°Doesn¡¯t it hurt?¡±


    The young man grinned sheepishly, ¡°It¡¯s bearable. Last time I pulled out the glass myself, and that hurt way more! This time it looked too deep, so I didn¡¯t dare pull it out¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, and couldn¡¯t help but feel a deep respect for him, realizing that this wasn¡¯t the young man¡¯s first time.


    ¡°Hang in there!¡±


    Chen Cang found some pliers, grasped the glass shard, parted the wound with his left hand, and yanked hard!


    Immediately, a glass fragment about two centimeters long came out.


    A cut about 4 centimeters long and 2 centimeters deep appeared!


    Blood started to flow out slowly at that moment, and Chen Cang quickly began to clean the wound!


    He needed to check if there were any small glass shards inside before he could stitch up the wound!


    Seeing the man grinning, Chen Cang said, ¡°I¡¯m going to give you some local anesthetic to numb the area.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the young man didn¡¯t respond and even looked a bit anxious and hesitant. After a while, he asked with an embarrassed and somewhat apologetic look, ¡°Is anesthesia expensive?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s a free service!¡±


    The young man appeared relieved and laughed, ¡°Give me more then; it¡¯s killing me!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s nose tingled for no apparent reason.


    People are different; everyone has their own situations in life.


    Looking at this young man who was just under twenty, or barely over, yet his leg had dozens of scars.


    The anesthesia worked quickly, and the bleeding wasn¡¯t very noticeable. After cleaning the wound, the young man smiled and said, ¡°It really doesn¡¯t hurt now.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I¡¯m going to clean the wound for you, there are still some tiny fragments inside.¡±


    Chen Cang flushed the wound with saline using a 10ml syringe and used forceps to remove the debris.


    Then, it was time for stitches!


    Although the wound looked deep, it hadn¡¯t damaged the tendons or major blood vessels, and ordinary stitching would suffice.


    There are many methods of stitching, not all of which are meant for skin.


    For example, techniques like the interrupted vertical mattress inversion suture are actually for stitching the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, not for the skin. Others, like the continuous locking suture, are used for closing ends of the gastrointestinal tract, and in skin transplantation; the figure-eight suture, because of its particular strength, is used for suturing fascia.


    So, depending on the area of stitching, the choice of suturing method naturally varies.


    These so-called methods are like martial arts techniques; in actual stitching, the fancy stuff is not what matters.


    Mainly, it depends on the patient¡¯s needs and the location of the stitches, like for this young man, what¡¯s needed is a good apposition and a quick healing.


    Chen Cang¡¯s skin stitching skill was at an intermediate level, which was passable, and he generally didn¡¯t have too many problems with stitching, but it became even more effortless for him with the sharpness +1 skill.


    Before long, Chen Cang finished stitching.


    Chen Cang was preparing to use a foam dressing, but then An Yanjun suddenly suggested, ¡°Use gauze, it heals faster.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback. Gauze heals faster?


    But¡­ after a slight hesitation, Chen Cang quickly understood what he meant.


    Gauze is cheaper.


    Using forceps, he added a few sterile gauze pads and taped them in place. Thinking of their work, Chen Cang wrapped the tape around the leg twice and said with a smile:


    ¡°That ought to hold it.¡±


    The next step was the other leg. This time, the two of them cooperated much more tacitly, and the process was a lot faster.


    By this time, An Yanjun had already finished treating the middle-aged man, removing all four or five pieces of glass from his body and completing the suturing.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but marvel at Director An¡¯s speed and ability.


    Another boy, who appeared to be a year or two younger than the previous one, seemed to be aware that anesthesia didn¡¯t cost anything, so he moved forward and said in a low voice, ¡°Doctor, give me more anesthetic, it¡¯s killing me.¡±


    The previous young man also joked, ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s a wimp, afraid of pain!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Giving too much can cause problems; you can¡¯t just administer anesthesia recklessly.¡±


    After saying that, he began suturing.


    With each suture, Chen Cang¡¯s understanding of skin suturing improved.


    Skin suturing is a delicate matter.


    It involves healing speed, inflammatory infection, and scar management.


    All three are very important.


    After the suturing was done, An Yanjun came over to check, nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°Not bad!¡±


    These were all basic sutures, so they weren¡¯t particularly complex.


    Before leaving, the man asked with a smile, ¡°Doctor, how much does it cost?¡±


    An Yanjun furrowed his brows, ¡°How much for what?¡±


    The man¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°For the suturing?¡±


    An Yanjun replied, ¡°I¡¯ll write you a bill, you can go to the cashier to pay.¡±


    The man responded cheerfully, ¡°Alright, alright!¡±


    With his payment slip, he left; the emergency department¡¯s cashier was quite busy.


    In line, the man felt uneasy; after all, the saying goes that entering a hospital strips you of a layer of skin. Considering the many stitches, anesthesia, disinfecting, and gauze, how much could it all add up to?


    He probably worked for nothing this week!


    Thinking of this made him anxious.


    The several boys were all from his village; he had brought them out to work and couldn¡¯t let them pay.


    With this in mind, he checked his Alipay balance.


    There was a little over five hundred yuan¡­


    Would that be enough?


    He didn¡¯t use Huabei, feeling like it encouraged overspending, and he had no money to overspend!


    It wasn¡¯t long before it was the man¡¯s turn. He handed over his payment slip.


    The cashier nurse typed efficiently on the keyboard, and soon the amount was displayed.


    The man was apprehensive, as if waiting for a sentence to be passed.


    The cashier said, ¡°Thirty.¡±


    The man was startled, ¡°How much?¡±


    The cashier repeated, ¡°Thirty yuan! Cash or card?¡±


    The man quickly handed over his phone, ¡°Alipay.¡±


    The cashier scanned it, ¡°Okay, that¡¯s done. Just give this payment receipt to the doctor and you¡¯re all set.¡±


    The man nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, ¡°Excuse me, can you tell me how much it costs to register for an appointment with Director An?¡±


    The cashier answered, ¡°Director An¡¯s registration fee is 17.5 yuan. Including the emergency fee, that¡¯s 27.5 in total.¡±


    The man was taken aback!


    He looked at the payment slip in his hand, which had no registration fee listed, just a charge for debridement, and it didn¡¯t even include the suturing costs. Moreover¡­ they were not just one person!


    No fee for registration, no fee for suturing¡­


    Seeing the long queue behind him, the man quickly said to the cashier nurse, ¡°Thank you, thank you! I appreciate your help.¡±


    After leaving the cashier, the man couldn¡¯t settle down for a long time.


    In his mind was the stern-looking Director An who always said ¡°No!¡±


    The cool on the outside, warm hearted An Yanjun, harsh in words but soft in heart.


    ps: Thank you everyone for your rewards and votes. Thank you~~~ Have some anesthesia, dine on an appendix~ It¡¯s on the house!!!

 Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: God-Level Special Effects

    Chapter 19: God-Level Special Effects


    Translator: 549690339


    The man returned to the office just in time to hear An Yanjun on the phone:


    ¡°Hello, I am a doctor from the Provincial Second Hospital, your employee now¡­ Yes, he needs suturing and a tetanus shot¡­ Right, no, without the shot it¡¯s not okay, it¡¯s a safety hazard, you need to take responsibility if something happens. Mm-hm¡­ Okay, and they need to rest, otherwise the wound could reopen and get easily infected, which isn¡¯t good for recovery¡­¡±


    ¡­


    After hanging up the phone, An Yanjun told the five people, ¡°Don¡¯t go anywhere yet, get vaccinated first, after that, you can go. I¡¯ve already called your supervisor.¡±


    The young man couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Doctor, that won¡¯t work, we¡­ we haven¡¯t finished our job yet.¡±


    An Yanjun turned and said, ¡°No! And stop talking, go next door and find the nurse, let her take you to get the injections. I¡¯ve got a lot more to do here and your work is inherently risky with frequent injuries; it¡¯s very easy to get tetanus, so the vaccine is mandatory! Later, go find the nurse for the injections, in¡­¡±


    The man tried to speak again, but An Yanjun cut him off, ¡°Alright, I still have patients to attend to, you guys should go quickly.¡±


    The man nodded briskly!


    And took his younger brothers out.


    Chen Cang bowed his head, just in time to see the fee statement brought in by the man and couldn¡¯t help but be stunned for a moment, 30?


    That little?


    A consultation with Director An costs 27.5, doesn¡¯t it?


    A single suture pack should be over forty, right?


    And that¡¯s not including their suturing fees?


    Doesn¡¯t the hospital charge several tens for each dressing change?


    When he thought of Director An earlier telling him not to apply dressings but to use gauze instead, Chen Cang understood.


    Director An waived their registration and treatment fees. That small amount probably just covered the cost of the suture thread and gauze they just used, right?


    Would that be enough?


    Just about, perhaps¡­


    But then, you can¡¯t really calculate it like that¡­


    At that thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director An, their boss could have paid this when he arrived.¡±


    An Yanjun snorted, ¡°Heh, if he actually had that much awareness that¡¯d be great.¡±


    After saying this, An Yanjun sighed, ¡°Ah¡­ Life is hard for everyone. These kids are out here working at such a young age, let it be then!¡±


    The man, watching An Yanjun¡¯s stern face, felt an inexplicable warmth flood his heart.


    Beneath the seemingly cold exterior was a heart full of warmth.


    In the span of the morning, Chen Cang had sutured twelve patients, and was getting ready to leave when.


    An Yanjun stopped Chen Cang, ¡°I have a shopping card from Da Run Fa, someone gave it to me, but I don¡¯t use it, so you take it.¡±


    Without waiting for a reply, he stuffed it into Chen Cang¡¯s lab coat and left.


    Chen Cang was taken aback.


    Before he had gone far, Chen Cang heard the head nurse, Tian Lanxiang, suddenly call out to An Yanjun.


    ¡°Director An, last month¡¯s dressing inventory was off, wasn¡¯t it? How come more than forty were missing?¡± Tian Lanxiang¡¯s voice was quite distinctive; it could be heard from a distance.


    An Yanjun was startled, ¡°Is that so? I wasn¡¯t aware.¡±


    The head steward became upset, ¡°Director An, the shortfall was from your office; one dressing pack costs several tens!¡±


    An Yanjun cleared his throat and frowned, ¡°Is that so? That expensive, huh?¡±


    The head steward nodded, ¡°Yeah! You need to be careful from now on! Those dressing packs can¡¯t be used carelessly.¡±


    An Yanjun nodded quickly, ¡°Of course, of course, I¡¯ll pay attention from now on!¡±


    All of a sudden, the head steward raised her voice, ¡°I knew it, it had to be you¡­ I just knew it was you¡­ Last month it was¡­ and the month before that too¡­¡±


    An Yanjun awkwardly said, ¡°The dressings are all there, just some gauze was used, and the needles are sterilized and reused¡­ they¡¯re not worth much.¡±


    The head steward: ¡°Not worth much¡­ you know even the Director criticized me today¡­ saying¡­¡±


    Hearing the voice fade away, Chen Cang smiled.


    What lies in a man¡¯s heart is hidden beneath the skin.


    You can see a man¡¯s face but not his heart!


    The Director An who always says ¡°no¡± has a heart that always says ¡°yes¡±!


    [Ding! Today¡¯s task completed, gained +100 suturing experience, +100 experience, and +100 RMB.]


    [Ding! Your skin suturing level has been upgraded to advanced!]


    [Ding! Skin Suturing Level: Advanced, Special Attribute: Concealed Scars (During suturing, with the effect of the Eye of Beauty, choose suture points wisely to achieve a perfect suturing effect, so that after suturing, the outcome will be optimal, and the needle marks can be concealed using the skin texture¡­ achieving a hidden effect.)]


    This special effect¡­ is pretty awesome!


    You should know, there are definitely scars after suturing!


    This is without a doubt.


    But the visibility of these scars can be minimized or even concealed, so that they remain unnoticed at a normal social distance, and with a little makeup touch-up, they can even be hidden.


    But this is a huge test for doctors.


    This special effect is too strong, ordinary people simply can¡¯t do it, right?


    Chen Cang once read a paper on scarless suturing in the ¡°New England Journal of Medicine¡±, where the author mentioned the high difficulty of the technique.


    I actually got this trait!


    That¡¯s freaking awesome!


    I really am the chosen son of heaven¡­


    However¡­ after seeing the prompt, Chen Cang understood that this special attribute was made possible thanks to the Beautiful Eyes!


    Ordinary people can¡¯t have such skill attributes, ah!


    What a coincidence, too much of a coincidence.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang felt a bit inflated.


    [Ding! Senior NPC Chen Bingsheng issues a task: Improve suturing level to advanced! Task completion, reward: one skill point.]


    Two skill points in hand!


    What to upgrade?


    Chen Cang hesitated!


    No idea for the moment, let¡¯s wait and see.


    Today, Chen Cang ordered spicy mix for lunch.


    After summarizing the failed experience from last time¡¯s beef noodles, Chen Cang didn¡¯t dare to engage in a battle of wits with the boss anymore, after all, you can¡¯t do something that kills a thousand enemies but harms yourself by eight hundred!


    Too much of that and my Alipay balance will be seriously strained.


    Chen Cang can accept spicy mix, and his favorite addition is lotus root slices.


    Because ordering sliced lotus root slices is cost-effective, ah!


    Chen Cang can cook, but he never buys lotus roots because he can¡¯t bring himself to do so. You have to know, for every pound of lotus root slices purchased, at least half is air, it¡¯s too much of a loss!


    But it¡¯s different when ordering spicy mix, the lotus root slices are sliced up, let the boss take the loss¡­


    Alas!


    So smart, I am.


    ¡­


    The division of labor in emergency medicine can be the clearest, yet also the most vague.


    In the afternoon, another patient with a heart attack was brought in, it was for the internal medicine team, but Chen Cang, who was the overall duty doctor today, was mainly dealing with patients who came to the emergency department, such as various traumas.


    At that moment, suddenly the sound of an emergency alert went off!


    Chen Cang instinctively stood up and rushed out.


    Because this alarm bell sounded different from the ambulance¡¯s siren.


    This was clearly a symphony composed of both 110 and 120!


    Someone was injured?


    And a police officer?


    Chen Cang quickly looked over, only to see two police cars stopped at the back, while the ambulance was at the front door.


    He saw a man being wheeled off the ambulance, his arm covered in blood, his wrist tightly wrapped, but blood was still spurting out!


    ¡°Doctor! Save him!¡±


    Chen Cang approached: ¡°What happened?¡±


    A man of imposing presence, with a square face full of worry and determination, hurried forward and said, ¡°He was shot in the right forearm with a shotgun.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    Shot!


    And by a shotgun!


    Shotguns are designed to be used outdoors in the field and specifically for hunting swift-moving animals, hence it operates through a broad coverage of shotgun pellets instead of a single projectile. Typically filled with numerous iron beads and fragments, but no bullet heads.


    When the firing pin strikes the primer and ignites the gunpowder, the sudden chemical reaction creates a powerful airflow that pushes the pellets rapidly out of the barrel, forming a radiating spread of fire. This type of attack can be more lethal than a handgun or even a rifle at close range!


    If he really was shot in the forearm!


    He could be in grave danger now.


    Chen Cang hurriedly pulled the patient into the resuscitation room, the first priority being to examine the wounds.


    Seeing a crowd trying to follow, Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Someone go help with the formalities, I¡¯ll do the injury assessment, don¡¯t come into the resuscitation room.¡±


    The police officers stopped at the doors of the resuscitation room.


    The authoritative middle-aged man was clearly the leader, glanced at the others, ¡°You all go back to the station, I¡¯ll stay here!¡±

 Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Get Whatever You Want

    Chapter 20: Get Whatever You Want


    Translator: 549690339


    Zhang Keqin was the captain of the criminal police team, and at over forty years old, he was still in his prime.


    Today, their criminal investigation team had once again taken down a robber, but another team member had been injured.


    And it was his right wrist!


    For a police officer, this was a critical injury.


    After the incident, they immediately took him to the nearest hospital.


    Upon seeing the injured patient¡¯s condition, the head of surgery directly said, ¡°Hurry to a major hospital, we can¡¯t do it here, the tendon damage in his wrist is very serious, there are too many fragments, I can¡¯t guarantee a successful suture. And even if the suture is successful, I can¡¯t guarantee the recovery of function!¡±


    Because of this, they rushed him to the provincial second hospital.


    The injured officer was excellent. At the time, the criminal was in an agitated state, ready to shoot the hostage. It was because of his emergency breakout that the hostage was saved, and the criminal was captured.


    25-year-old police officer Wu Gang had once again earned merit!


    Only a few years out of the police academy, he had encountered such an event, injuring his wrist.


    If he couldn¡¯t hold a gun, what kind of police officer would he be?!


    His life would be over.


    Thinking this, Zhang Keqin was filled with regret, his eyes anxious as he stood outside the emergency room, one cigarette following another.


    Thinking it over, he still felt uneasy.


    He got up, pushed the door open, and went straight into the emergency room, where Chen Cang was checking the situation.


    The nurse saw someone come in and hurriedly stood up to stop him, ¡°Family members, please go out, the doctor is examining the injuries.¡±


    Zhang Keqin saw that the person examining was Chen Cang and nobody else!


    Suddenly, Zhang Keqin was stunned and asked in a low voice, ¡°Hello, I am the captain of the criminal police team. Doctor, this is our hero. Where¡¯s your director? Or the senior doctor? Why is there only one young person?¡±


    The nurse was taken aback, ¡°Our director is not in the hospital, and the other doctors have surgeries this afternoon and can¡¯t come down right away. Dr. Chen is very capable.¡±


    Zhang Keqin wanted to say something but held back!


    His clenched fists had no place to rest!


    Anxious!


    Desperate!


    He didn¡¯t want a promising young talent to be delayed.


    Suddenly, he remembered a phone number, that of the deputy director of the provincial people¡¯s hospital.


    He hurriedly rose and walked towards the outside, picking up the phone to make the call.


    The other side answered quickly, ¡°Captain Zhang, what do you need assistance with?¡±


    Zhang Keqin hurriedly spoke, ¡°Um, Director Wang, hello, I really need your help right now. One of our team members has been shot in the wrist with a hunting rifle. The head of surgery at the eighth hospital said the Tendon Suture Surgery is particularly difficult. Now we¡¯ve brought him to the provincial second hospital.¡±


    Wang Xixing replied, ¡°Provincial second hospital? An Yanjun, the director of emergency at the provincial second hospital, is quite skilled in the field of hand surgery.¡±


    Zhang Keqin became somewhat anxious, ¡°The nurses say that Director An is in surgery and can¡¯t come down. Do you have a suitable doctor over there? Please send someone quickly. We can¡¯t afford to move him again.¡±


    Wang Xixing nodded, ¡°Alright, Captain Zhang, don¡¯t panic, we¡¯ll send someone over now!¡±


    Upon hearing this, an excited Zhang Keqin said, ¡°Send an expert! It has to be an expert. He¡¯s still young, he has a bright future, and we can¡¯t let this incident hold him back!¡±


    Wang Xixing responded affirmatively, ¡°I¡¯ll go ask our Director Liu. He is an authority in the field of hand surgery. I¡¯ll have him head over right now! Don¡¯t panic.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhang Keqin got excited.


    ¡°That would be really great, it¡¯s truly a bother for you, Director Wang, really. If you need anything in the future, just let me know!¡±


    He hung up the phone with a thousand thanks in his heart.


    In that moment, hope rose in Zhang Keqin¡¯s heart.


    The director was personally coming to assist with the surgery, it had to be successful, right?


    Inside, Zhang Keqin was full of anticipation!


    Right!


    He decided to communicate with the dean of this hospital. After all, it was a consultation from an external hospital, and he needed to give them a heads-up.


    With this thought in mind, Zhang Keqin looked back at the emergency room and said to the two police officers at the door, ¡°Keep a close watch on Little Wu, and report anything immediately!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Captain!¡±


    Zhang Keqin immediately stood up and headed for the administrative building!


    Meanwhile, inside the emergency room!


    Chen Cang had already made a basic assessment of the patient¡¯s injuries!


    The damage to the wrist tendons was severe, and the damage to the blood vessels was moderate.


    Chen Cang said to Wu Gang, ¡°Try moving your hand.¡±


    Wu Gang gritted his teeth and sweated from the pain, but still managed to say with a grimace, ¡°I can¡¯t move it, I feel like my hand is gone¡­¡±


    Wu Gang¡¯s words carried a bleak tone, but at that moment, he was not the least bit desperate, even managing to say it with a hint of jest.


    Thinking about how he had saved that child and caught the criminal, Wu Gang felt it was all worth it!


    Sweat continuously dripped down his buzz-cut head, and even the chilly emergency room could not reduce his perspiration.


    It hurt so much!


    Chen Cang checked the circulation. At this time, the blood flow in the hand was increasingly poor. The longer the delay, the worse the recovery, especially the nerve function!


    There had been too much loss in the tendon now, and what needed to be done urgently was to reestablish blood flow with vascular anastomosis and then perform tendon suture!


    But¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s current level of tendon suture was only intermediate!


    For such a complex tendon suture, without a senior level, it was impossible to proceed.


    And most important of all was the outcome of the tendon suture.


    Almost all repaired tendons formed adhesions and impairments in joint motion to varying degrees with the surrounding tissues, and this was closely related to local pathological conditions, surgical techniques, suture materials, and whether postoperative handling was correct.


    The most crucial factor was the surgical process. During surgery, in order to achieve postoperative tendon adhesion-free and not affect joint movements, one must possess exceptional skills to complete the tendon suture task!


    In the entire Dongyang Province, there would be no more than five such individuals!


    This required a special skill.


    What to do?


    To perform the surgery or not?


    At this moment, Wu Gang, looking at the hesitant Chen Cang, said, ¡°Doctor, go ahead and do it. It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ve hit the jackpot. I saved one, and I caught a criminal. I had already thought it through before the action; if I succeeded, I would be a martyr, and if not, I¡¯d still be a martyr!¡±


    ¡°Now, it seems I¡¯m not a martyr yet, and I¡¯m already ahead. Even if this hand is crippled, I can still do administrative work in the future, it¡¯s still worth it!¡±


    [Ding! Hero Wu Gang issues a mission: Mission requirement: Successfully treat Wu Gang, completion reward: Tendon Suture level increased by +1!]


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up!


    Right!


    I have a skill point!


    Upgrading from intermediate to senior needed 2 skill points.


    Level up!


    [Ding! Congratulations, your Tendon Suture skill level has been upgraded to: Senior!]


    [Ding! Tendon Suture Surgery: Senior, special attribute: Significant reduction in adhesion coefficient (advanced suturing techniques will allow you to pay attention to details during suturing, reducing adhesiveness¡­ thereby making the function of the sutured tendon nearly normal after recovery!]


    Chen Cang felt a surge of joy!


    He had actually acquired the special attribute: reduction in adhesion coefficient?


    How lucky could he be!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to waste another moment!


    ¡°Prepare for surgery! Proceed with the suturing.¡±

 Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: One-time Repair, Long-term Warranty

    Chapter 21: One-time Repair, Long-term Warranty


    Translator: 549690339


    Tendon suture did not need to be performed in the operating room, it could be completed just in the treatment room.


    But this placed extremely high demands on the doctor!


    Chen Cang did not seek help from a nurse, but wanted to ask Qin Yue for assistance.


    As a surgeon, Qin Yue¡¯s skills and techniques were fairly reliable.


    At the moment, Qin Yue was writing up medical records; upon seeing Chen Cang approaching her, she couldn¡¯t help but glance at his lower body¡­


    Chen Cang shivered involuntarily.


    It seems true that nine out of ten cute girls are fangirls!


    ¡°A police officer just came in with a serious tendon injury to the arm. I¡¯m preparing to suture it, can you assist me?¡±


    Qin Yue immediately stood up, ¡°Tendon? Police officer? Somewhat serious?¡±


    Correct, when these three words came together, it naturally formed a story.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s not light. Director An is in surgery and can¡¯t come down, Director Li went out for a meeting, we¡¯ll do it!¡±


    Qin Yue nodded. An ordinary tendon suture wasn¡¯t that difficult, so she didn¡¯t think too much about it!


    But¡­


    She had seriously underestimated Chen Cang¡¯s audacity.


    The moment Qin Yue walked up to Wu Gang and lifted the gauze,


    her already large eyes widened like those of a fish!


    This was ¡°somewhat¡± serious?


    Wasn¡¯t your ¡°somewhat¡± a bit too much?


    The entire inner side of the arm¡¯s tendon was severely damaged, and you told me it was just somewhat!


    Moreover, suturing so many at the same time, the probability of avoiding adhesion was basically zero!


    Once adhesions occurred, the consequences were unthinkable.


    What did that mean?


    If these sutured tendons adhered to each other, as well as to the surrounding tissues, not to mention shooting, even eating and using chopsticks would pose a severe problem.


    After all, each tendon controlled something different.


    Furthermore, the biggest difference, or rather the greatest difficulty in suturing tendons compared to skin, was that the material of the tendon was not like that of skin.


    To give an example, if the material of skin was like fresh tofu, then tendon would be like fish tofu.


    Hmm, the example was not quite accurate!


    But the principle is the same: the elasticity and tension of the tendon meant that your needle had to enter swiftly, accurately, steadily, and forcefully, without hesitation; every moment of hesitation increased the likelihood of adhesion.


    The possibility of adhesion would be much higher during the later recovery period!


    So¡­ Qin Yue really couldn¡¯t fathom why Chen Cang dared to suture such a tendon.


    Seeing Qin Yue¡¯s expression, Wu Gang couldn¡¯t help but give a bitter smile, ¡°Doctor, does this mean I¡¯m beyond help?¡±


    Qin Yue shook her head hastily, ¡°No, Doctor Chen is very skilled at tendon suturing!¡±


    Having said that, Qin Yue pulled Chen Cang out of the emergency room.


    ¡°Are you insane? With this condition, you still think you can suture?¡± Qin Yue¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at Chen Cang.


    ¡°He¡¯s a police officer, if you mess this up, do you understand how big a responsibility you¡¯ll have?¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you, Chen Cang, if you don¡¯t do this well and get into big trouble, do you understand? Not just about getting permanent status, you could even be fired!¡±


    Qin Yue was somewhat anxious, ¡°Don¡¯t you see the situation we¡¯re in? To speak frankly, in the entire Anyang City of Dongyang Province, there are no more than three who can do it well! Do you get what I mean? Even Director An Yanjun can¡¯t guarantee it.¡±


    ¡°Send him away! Send him to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, let the President Liu of the Provincial People¡¯s try, if that doesn¡¯t work, only Beijing is left.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s no use, didn¡¯t you see the color of his blood? The vascular damage is obvious. If the hand doesn¡¯t get blood supply in time, those nerves will definitely be damaged, and the tendon recovery cannot be delayed much longer. Even if we send him to Beijing now, do you think the recovery will be any good?¡±


    Qin Yue was somewhat annoyed, ¡°But it¡¯s none of your business, is it? You¡¯re just a junior doctor! An intern, a temp, big brother! You think you¡¯re the chief or what. This is not the time for you to show off your skills.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°I can¡¯t just stand by and watch him die.¡±


    Qin Yue, ¡°You¡¯re wasting your efforts even if you save him, how can you do it when it¡¯s so difficult?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°I can!¡±


    Qin Yue snorted coldly, ¡°Ha! You¡­ you¡¯re stubborn! You¡¯re just like your teacher. If you can do well, no, this isn¡¯t about whether you can do it or not!¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°Let¡¯s go, to the treatment room! Stop wasting time.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Tendon repair must be performed under painless conditions, and the material of the tendon is not as simple as flesh, which inherently increases the difficulty of the doctor¡¯s suturing.


    The anesthesia method used was brachial plexus block anesthesia. Chen Cang did not call an anesthesiologist, because he and Liu Jian had learned a lot about brachial plexus block anesthesia. This kind of anesthesia was not very difficult, and if it were lower limb anesthesia, Chen Cang definitely wouldn¡¯t dare to do it himself.


    He would have to let an anesthesiologist take charge!


    After all, the risks of anesthesia were still very high.


    After the anesthesia, Chen Cang took a deep breath, still somewhat nervous. Although wearing gloves, he instinctively rubbed his palms together, time to start!


    Compared to Chen Cang, Qin Yue was even more worried to death. After all, this was a job that her teacher, Shi Na, couldn¡¯t guarantee to complete, let alone him, a little rookie who hadn¡¯t even transferred careers yet.


    Looking at the confident Chen Cang, two words flashed in Qin Yue¡¯s mind: Utterly fearless!


    Picking up the irrigation tube, he began flushing with saline.


    After flushing, Chen Cang¡¯s conviction shifted, and his eyes changed.


    Before his eyes were all red names.


    [Abductor Pollicis Longus Tendon]


    [Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Tendon]


    [Flexor Carpi Tendon]


    ¡­


    All of these were red. Chen Cang pinched an [Abductor Pollicis Longus Tendon], and immediately a burst of information appeared.


    [Ruptured Abductor Pollicis Longus Tendon: lv17, a severely ruptured abductor pollicis longus tendon monster, a rare monster! The tendon was fiercely broken and damaged by the intense impact of iron sand, and while the tendon ruptured, the tendon itself received heavy damage. Suggest debridement, repair, and suturing.]


    The abductor pollicis longus tendon was the most severe, on the back of the wrist, two conspicuously broken tendons were empty and gaping.


    The difficulty was somewhat high.


    At this moment, Wu Gang couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Junior doctor, you don¡¯t need to be nervous, when I was about your age, on my first mission, seeing a murderer made me lose my nerve completely. But what¡¯s there really, hasn¡¯t everyone come out step by step, especially us from the village; we need to fight harder. By fighting we have a chance, without it, there¡¯s nothing.¡±


    ¡°You rest assured, I¡¯m entrusting my hand to you today. I have an idea of the risks myself; even if it were handed to a specialist, it would be the same. We had a guy in our team before, his tendon was cut by a knife, and now he can¡¯t shoot a gun. Let alone how I am now, at that time, it was a specialist from the province who did the surgery.¡±


    ¡°Whatever the outcome, I don¡¯t mind! After all, we both serve the people, right, haha¡­¡±


    Although he said it casually, Wu Gang had a clear understanding of his situation.


    In their line of work, there was always a high level of risk.


    He had seen too many people with tendon damage. The scary part wasn¡¯t now, but these kinds of injuries would worsen over time, especially since adhesion after tendon repair was a significant issue!


    This was almost like an occupational disease in their profession.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I can suture it well for you, rest assured. You have a long career ahead of you, and besides, one-time repair, long-term warranty!¡±

 Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Show Off Skills!

    Chapter 22: Show Off Skills!


    Translator: 549690339


    The surgery began!


    Chen Cang¡¯s first task was to remove the iron filings inside, including those tiny pieces of metal shrapnel.


    The assailant was really ruthless.


    All of them were fine iron sand and slivers.


    Normally, this would be a cumbersome and troublesome process.


    However, Chen Cang didn¡¯t see it that way.


    Because all he needed to do was look for the red names; whenever iron sand appeared, he could see the red name ¡°IRON SAND.¡±


    This made things much easier!


    It wasn¡¯t long before he had cleaned everything out.


    Qin Yue was stunned, her eyes wide with amazement, because Chen Cang¡¯s movements were so skilled.


    Debridement, suturing!


    ¡°Saline, 10 ml!¡±


    ¡°Forceps!¡±


    ¡°Help me hold this distal tendon.¡±


    ¡°Light, shift it over a bit.¡±


    Chen Cang first clamped the end of the tendon with a hemostat to pull it tight, took a 30 cm suture thread, threaded both ends through fine straight needles. He inserted the needle through the tendon 1.5 cm from the end, pulled it out to have equal lengths on both sides, then inserted it adjacent to the exit point, diagonally crossing through the tendon towards the end, repeating the cross-insertion 2 to 3 times, and finally exited the thread at the point 3 mm close to the hemostat.


    The +1 sharpness attribute was extremely helpful, enhancing Chen Cang¡¯s stitching precision by a small level.


    He then used a scalpel to cut open the tendon near the hemostat, flipped the hemostat to reveal the cut surface, and performed the same technique with the needle, symmetrically threading it from inside the tendon, trimmed the tendon ends, and tightened the suture thread.


    Each step was fraught with risk, and Chen Cang dared not be the slightest bit careless or sloppy.


    Because a moment¡¯s inattention could enlarge the wound, leading to only one outcome!


    The formation of adhesions!


    Striving for excellence!


    This might have been the most difficult part of the surgery.


    With high intensity, high precision, and high accuracy required, Chen Cang still had to continue for at least another hour.


    After more than ten minutes, the first tendon was sutured!


    Suddenly, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes brightened as he saw the red ¡°EXTENSOR POLLICIS LONGUS TENDON¡± change color to green!


    ¡°Ding! Extensor pollicis longus tendon suturing complete, you have gained +100 tendon suturing experience, +100 experience, +100 RMB;¡±


    Chen Cang was overjoyed.


    On to the next step!


    Chen Cang began the subsequent tendon suturing work with the utmost care.


    And Qin Yue, as the assistant, became even more skilled.


    Time passed second by second!


    Chen Cang dared not slack off in the slightest.


    The first one¡­


    The second one¡­


    ¡­


    The last one!


    Sutured!


    Finally, it was done.


    Tendon suturing complete!


    Success rate extremely high!


    By now, Qin Yue was completely astonished. As a fellow surgeon without exceptional technical skill, her keen observational talents were outstanding. Although Shi Na was Qin Yue¡¯s superior, Qin Yue felt that in comparison to Chen Cang, Shi Na¡¯s proficiency with tendon suturing was lacking, especially in terms of precision and preventing adhesions.


    Qin Yue had done her postgraduate studies at Xiangya Medical College, which was on par with Xiehe. Known as ¡°Xiehe in the north, Xiangya in the south,¡± it was part of Central South University¡¯s Xiangya Medical College.


    Her mentor was also a prominent figure in surgery, yet at this moment she suddenly realized that although Chen Cang¡¯s tendon suturing skills were slightly lacking, his precision, accuracy, and sharpness were¡­ stronger than her teacher¡¯s!


    This is talent!


    Surgery tests for talent!


    One must have the eyes of an eagle, the heart of a lion, and the hands of a woman!


    Next up was some simple vascular anastomosis, and when Chen Cang was performing the anastomosis¡­


    Qin Yue suddenly froze, is this guy even the same person as Chen Cang from before?


    This inferior vascular suturing technique, even I can do slightly better¡­


    Thinking this, Qin Yue didn¡¯t feel such a disparity anymore.


    After all, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to maintain composure if he surpassed her by too much!


    She was a postgraduate at Xiangya Medical College, while Chen Cang was just¡­ just an undergraduate medical student.


    The finishing work began.


    Skin suturing!


    During the final task, Chen Cang¡¯s ¡°Beautiful Eyes¡± activated unconsciously.


    His eyes began to compare and match the broken skin, piecing it together, and soon, a perfect plan appeared in Chen Cang¡¯s vision.


    Chen Cang started his impressive maneuvering!


    Compared to tendon suturing, his skin suturing was the real highlight now!


    The needle and thread in his hands flitted about like a butterfly threading flowers, so nimble that the sight left Qin Yue beside him¡­ speechless with amazement.


    This guy¡­


    He¡¯s showing off his skills!


    Unbearable.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After relaying the situation truthfully to Zhang Keqin, the head of the Provincial Second Hospital, Qin Xiaoyuan took it very seriously and immediately opened a green channel.


    He invited the prominent Liu, head of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, to perform the surgery personally!


    This was an inter-hospital consultation surgery, referred to as: Rescuing a Hero Operation.


    Half an hour later, Liu Siqi arrived at the Provincial Second Hospital, accompanied by Tan Zhonglin, the director of Micro-hand Surgery.


    Thus, Captain Zhang Keqin, followed by the two hospital heads and a director, made his way to the emergency ward.


    The group made a rather impressive sight as they walked through the hospital.


    With Head Qin leading the way, they faced no obstructions, and just then, An Yanjun had just finished surgery and was surprised to see the procession. What big event had occurred?


    Head Qin saw An Yanjun: ¡°Director An, where¡¯s the patient sent by the criminal police team?¡±


    An Yanjun shook his head: ¡°Head Qin, I¡¯ve just come out of surgery, I¡¯ll go check the resuscitation room.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Zhang Keqin, offering words of comfort: ¡°Captain Zhang, we won¡¯t let our hero suffer, we will mobilize the entire hospital to rescue him!¡±


    Liu Siqi nodded in agreement: ¡°Right, Captain Zhang, we will spare no effort and try our best to avoid leaving any sequelae, Director Tan Zhonglin has specialized in hand surgery for many years, we will do our utmost for this surgery.¡±


    Zhang Keqin nodded excitedly: ¡°Thank you, all the directors and heads, I truly appreciate it! Xiao Wu is only 25, I¡¯m counting on you.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin sighed: ¡°I¡¯ve seen the pictures you sent just now. Xiao Wu¡¯s tendons are severely damaged, and the suturing will be very difficult, mainly because it requires great precision. The most challenging part about tendon suturing lies in postoperative recovery ¨C the sutures tend to adhere easily, affecting functionality.¡±


    As they were talking, An Yanjun walked out with a serious expression: ¡°Err¡­ Head Qin, the patient has already been taken for suturing! It¡¯s about to end.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned!


    ¡°Who did the surgery?¡± Qin Xiaoyuan asked curiously.


    An Yanjun hesitated: ¡°Chen Cang.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback: ¡°Chen Cang? Who¡­ is he?¡±


    The surrounding heads and directors were also curious but¡­ seemed not to have heard of this person!


    Gritting his teeth, An Yanjun admitted that the boy had truly been reckless: ¡°He¡¯s a junior doctor in our department, employed by the department. You might not have seen him.¡±


    With those words, the air around seemed to freeze.

 Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Awesome!

    Chapter 23: Awesome!


    Translator: 549690339


    Zhang Keqin¡¯s face changed!


    Oh God, you must be kidding me, right?


    After so much effort, I brought in two provincial experts, and you let that young doctor do it!


    I¡­ What the hell was I even thinking¡­


    With a glimmer of hope, Zhang Keqin cautiously asked, ¡°Is it that young man? The tall, fair and clean-looking one?¡±


    An Yanjun nodded his head.


    It¡¯s over!


    Zhang Keqin felt like dying.


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face also darkened instantly, what a mess this turned out to be.


    An Yanjun quickly explained, ¡°Director Qin, don¡¯t worry, Chen Cang is quite skilled, with a solid foundation. I¡¯ve seen it myself.¡±


    Director Qin shook his head and directly asked, ¡°Which operating room, take us there.¡±


    An Yanjun coughed and, with a barely audible tone and volume, said, ¡°It¡¯s not in an operating room, it¡¯s in the treatment room!¡±


    An Yanjun was going insane inside, thinking, This kid, oh old Chen, you better come and take care of this. Three days without a beating, and it¡¯s to the roof to strip tiles. This time the trouble is going be big!


    Indeed, An Yanjun¡¯s words completely silenced the surroundings.


    It¡¯s not just a needle drop, if there were a piece of paper here, An Yanjun felt he could even draw his own electrocardiogram!


    Silence!


    Suffocation!


    At this moment, Director Qin said in a deep voice, ¡°Nonsense! Such a major surgery is done in the treatment room, is this your emergency department¡¯s attitude?¡±


    An Yanjun sighed and thought of Chen Cang, who indeed wasn¡¯t bad, so he helped to explain, ¡°Director, the emergency department¡¯s operating rooms are limited. Tendon suturing is commonly done in the treatment room.¡±


    Zhang Keqin¡¯s heart shattered!


    My Wu Gang!


    You tell me, you weren¡¯t killed by the robbers, but now you¡¯re going to fold at the hands of this young doctor.


    This old man¡­


    Liu Siqi coughed, breaking the awkwardness, ¡°Let¡¯s go now and see if we¡¯re still in time.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin nodded, but inwardly he remarked, ¡°Secondary tendon damage, the chance of adhesion will be higher.¡±


    The head nurse also saw Director Qin coming, and quickly followed, ¡°Director Qin, what brings you here?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan replied, ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m here to see a patient.¡±


    An Yanjun asked, ¡°Which treatment room is Chen Cang in?¡±


    Tian Lanxiang replied, ¡°In treatment room three, he¡¯s been in there for an hour, should be coming out soon, I guess.¡±


    At these words, everyone¡¯s heart sank.


    It¡¯s finished!


    After entering through the door, Chen Cang was finishing up the skin suturing, already near the end.


    Qin Yue turned her head and was taken aback seeing so many people, ¡°Director An¡­ Director Qin? What are you all doing here?¡±


    As a doctor of this department, An Yanjun quickly asked, ¡°How¡¯s the patient?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled faintly, tying off the final knot, ¡°Done, all finished!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone around immediately entered.


    Wu Gang looked up and smiled, ¡°Captain, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Zhang Keqin glared at Wu Gang, ¡°Fine? You say you¡¯re fine, and that¡¯s it?¡±


    An Yanjun pulled Chen Cang aside and whispered in the corner, ¡°Kid, you¡¯ve caused a disaster. Do you know who he is? Blindly acting! Always showing off!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°I know, a police officer.¡±


    An Yanjun slapped his forehead and said softly, ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. People are sensitive nowadays, and you still dared to take on the case. Don¡¯t you know there are so many potential complications after tendon sutures? You¡¯re always taking on these issues yourself. Are you sick?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled faintly, ¡°The surgery went quite well.¡±


    The anesthesia was almost worn off. Chen Cang turned around and said to Wu Gang, ¡°Move your fingers a little and feel it.¡±


    Wu Gang nodded, lifted his hand, and moved it slightly, ¡°Eh? It¡¯s true! It feels much better, I can move my hand!¡±


    ¡°Haha, Captain, my hand isn¡¯t ruined, I can still shoot!¡­¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°You need to rest for some time. Don¡¯t move it carelessly. Start gentle joint movements at 3 weeks, and you can resume normal functional exercises after 6 weeks. Moving too early can cause tendon separation or rupture, and moving too late can lead to adhesions.¡±


    Wu Gang nodded, ¡°Thank you, Doctor Chen!¡±


    Afterward, Chen Cang helped Wu Gang stabilize his limb, keeping the wrist at a relaxed position for the tendons and said, ¡°Come back in 2 weeks to remove the skin sutures, and after 6 weeks to remove the wire.¡±


    Zhang Keqin watched Wu Gang nervously, ¡°Are you really okay?¡±


    Wu Gang nodded, ¡°Really, I¡¯m fine!¡±


    The other bigwigs stood there in astonishment, not knowing what to do.


    Chen Cang also washed his hands and said, ¡°Good to see you, Director Qin.¡±


    An Yanjun quickly introduced him, ¡°Chen, this is Tan Zhonglin, the Director of Orthopedic Hand Surgery at Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, and this is Liu Siqi, the Chief of General Surgery and Vice President of Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.¡±


    Although Chen Cang had not interacted with them before, he had attended the annual meeting where these two were the speakers on stage!


    He promptly greeted them, ¡°Good to meet you, Director Liu. I¡¯ve long admired your work, I¡¯ve read your papers, and Director Tan, I¡¯m in awe of your insights on tendon suturing! Honored to meet both of you.¡±


    [Ding! Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s approval -5]


    [Ding! Zhang Keqin¡¯s approval -10]


    [Ding! Liu Siqi¡¯s approval -5]


    [Ding! Tan Zhonglin¡¯s approval -5]


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded!


    What the hell¡­


    Did my flattery backfire?


    Isn¡¯t that even better?


    What heinous crime have I committed to see a continuous drop in approval ratings?


    Qin Xiaoyuan stepped forward, ¡°Doctor Chen, why did you decide to perform Wu Gang¡¯s surgery on your own initiative?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, so that was the issue.


    Chen Cang felt he had done nothing wrong.


    ¡°The patient¡¯s hand blood supply was getting worse, delaying tendon suturing is not conducive to the hand¡¯s recovery. Moreover, a prolonged lack of blood supply would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of nerve recovery. At that time, I assessed the patient¡¯s condition as needing surgery, and as the on-duty doctor, after informing the patient of his condition and getting his consent for the operation including a signed informed consent form, I proceeded with the surgery!¡±


    Qin Yue was stunned, wow, a steel-hearted straight man who¡¯s not afraid of authority?


    This series of rational and well-founded statements left Director Qin speechless for a moment!


    Inwardly Qin Yue thought: Chen Cang is awesome!


    Qin Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, damn it, you¡¯re lecturing me on regulations!


    ¡°After assessing the patient¡¯s condition, it was a highly complex case. Didn¡¯t you consider that? What if it had failed?¡±


    Chen Cang replied, ¡°Surgery comes with risks and limitations, it¡¯s a normal procedure.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was startled, damn, do you even want to continue working here? Calm down, take another deep breath before speaking.


    Seeing Qin Xiaoyuan about to argue further, Chen Cang instantly retorted, ¡°I know I should have communicated with the family, but the patient insisted on having the surgery. As a medical professional, I can¡¯t deny a patient treatment, and furthermore¡­ I was absolutely confident in the surgery!¡±


    The atmosphere seized up for a moment!


    Qin Yue, the loyal follower, thought: Chen Cang is incredible!


    Everyone looked at this ¡°promising young man¡± with a sense of melancholy.


    Seeing Director Qin¡¯s eyelids twitch, Qin Yue made a decisive comment, ¡°Exactly! The surgery was very successful. Everyone can watch the operation video; we have recordings in our treatment room.¡±

 Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Fickle in Joy and Anger

    Chapter 25: Fickle in Joy and Anger


    Translator: 549690339


    For quite some time¡­


    For quite some time!


    After watching the video three or four times, Tan Zhonglin finally felt as satisfied as if he had just finished a classic movie, utterly content, it was too gratifying!


    Yet he still craved for more!


    Every surgeon has a large-capacity external hard drive at home, containing various classic surgical videos and images.


    These are treasures.


    When they are alone at home, they would take these out and watch them over and over, to their hearts¡¯ content.


    Chen Cang also had a hard drive, but¡­ well, it¡¯s better left unsaid.


    ¡­¡­


    In the end, Tan Zhonglin turned around, looked at Zhang Keqin and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Team leader Zhang, this Wu Gang really met a life-saver!¡±


    Zhang Keqin nodded promptly, ¡°Yes, this time we have to thank President Liu and Director Tan for their help, otherwise, it¡¯s unthinkable.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin and Liu Siqi exchanged a smile, ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re mistaken, Wu Gang¡¯s life-saver isn¡¯t me, it¡¯s this young doctor, Chen Cang!¡±


    This statement baffled everyone.


    ¡°What?!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was also taken aback.


    Tan Zhonglin pointed to the video and said, ¡°This surgery was a textbook example of repairing a damaged tendon. This Dr. Chen has a profound understanding of tendon repair. Although his experience isn¡¯t vast, his talent is exceptional. Every stitch he made was meticulously planned, which resulted in an excellent alignment of the patient¡¯s tendons¡­ I can assure you, there¡¯s an eighty to ninety percent chance that Wu Gang¡¯s hand will regain full function!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, just look at how he handled the skin closure; don¡¯t you think it¡¯s an art form? Consider the attention to detail and precision he applied to the skin suturing; he treated it as an art, not just a routine stitch. This is the comparison photo; you can clearly see for yourself!¡±


    Zhang Keqin looked at the before and after comparison of the wrist and was stunned.


    It truly was beautifully sutured!


    As a criminal police, he often encountered external injuries, and suturing was something he came across frequently.


    So, while he might not be familiar with tendon repair, he had seen plenty of skin suturing.


    And this suturing was indeed very good!


    Tan Zhonglin said, ¡°No exaggeration, within the entire Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, I can¡¯t find three people who can suture skin better than Dr. Chen.¡±


    Liu Siqi nodded, ¡°Indeed! I feel ashamed. Even though I¡¯ve been doing surgery for so many years, I¡¯ve never taken skin suturing so seriously because¡­ it¡¯s too basic.¡±


    ¡°Yet this young Dr. Chen has such a solid foundation that it seems unbelievable!¡±


    ¡°Of course, I think the most important aspect is his talent! He found the best points and methods for suturing, he is a real talent!¡±


    After speaking, Liu Siqi looked at Qin Xiaoyuan enviously, ¡°President Qin really knows how to pick talent. This young doctor has a great surgical gift, a potential great master! With a little nurturing, he might become a real talent.¡±


    Zhang Keqin was dumbfounded!


    What???


    Qin Xiaoyuan was also stunned!


    I was all ready to criticize him, and you¡¯re telling me this???


    However, being praised by the director and president of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, as the president, his emergency response and adaptability could withstand any test, and besides¡­ being praised felt pretty good!


    He said cheerfully,


    ¡°Ah, I¡¯m usually busy and don¡¯t know much about surgery, so I don¡¯t know Dr. Chen personally.¡±


    An Yanjun nodded, ¡°Dr. Chen was a temporary worker hired by the Emergency Department a couple of years ago and he didn¡¯t have a hospital contract, so it¡¯s normal that the president hasn¡¯t met him. But Dr. Chen has indeed solid foundational skills and is hardworking; he is a doer.¡±


    At that moment, Tan Zhonglin became even more curious about Chen Cang; he was a temporary worker?


    Thinking this, Tan Zhonglin glanced at his old classmate Liu Siqi and casually remarked, ¡°A temporary worker? Hmm, that¡¯s good! Young people should indeed be trained through experience!¡±


    Liu Siqi immediately caught the hint.


    ¡°Right, I also think being a temporary worker is good, they should be polished more!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we should go thank this young doctor.¡±


    ¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­


    At that time, Chen Cang was treating a patient, an injury case, suturing the skin, when the group walked in and saw Chen Cang performing the sutures, but his technique¡­ seemed quite different indeed.


    Suddenly, everyone couldn¡¯t help but stop and watch.


    Observing suturing on site like this is slightly different from watching it on screen.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang¡¯s suturing, the crowd had varied reactions¡­


    Zhang Keqin: Wow, so beautiful!


    Qin Xiaoyuan: Huh? Quite skilled.


    An Yanjun frowned as if deep in thought.


    Liu Siqi quickly took out his phone to record a video¡­


    And Tan Zhonglin actually felt his artistic cells surging, wanting to sing at this moment!


    Moreover¡­ a medical version of ¡°Blue and White Porcelain¡± popped up in his mind (original, ahem, note that)!


    The needle tip traced along the skin, the suture thread undulating. (Just like the initial strokes outline the blue flowers, the brush¡¯s edge creates effortless dragons)


    The once torn area seemed as good as new. (As if the paint on the vase shapes the peonies, just like your initial makeup)


    The faint scent of alcohol passed through the bottle, calming my mind. (The slowly rising sandalwood incense through the window tells all of my thoughts)


    ¡­


    Did this actually awaken the long-lost artistic cells in my heart?


    Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but marvel, his view of Chen Cang had changed.


    Liu Siqi also looked on with fiery eyes.


    The Provincial People¡¯s Hospital is really in need of such new generational talent.


    Tan Zhonglin nudged Liu Siqi with his eye: We must get this talent!


    Liu Siqi nodded profoundly, blinked thrice, lifting his eyelid: Right, he¡¯s indeed a talent!


    Tan Zhonglin glanced sideways: He¡¯s still a temp here; in a bit, let¡¯s talk about getting him a position at the Provincial People¡¯s.


    Liu Siqi¡¯s left eyelid twitched: No problem!


    The two had been partners for years, having arrived at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital together after graduating from medical school, working there for decades, and performing thousands of surgeries side by side. They understood each other completely, with just a glance they could infer each other¡¯s thoughts.


    Qin Xiaoyuan, watching the two exchange looks, suddenly felt baffled.


    Are all surgeons this weird?


    Couldn¡¯t help but sigh; when there¡¯s a chance, I need to talk to them about this matter. Work shouldn¡¯t delay treating patients.


    However¡­


    Chen Cang had just finished suturing and stood up to see everyone come in.


    He stood up and greeted with a smile, ¡°Hello, Director Qin, Director Liu, Director Tan.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone responded with a smile:


    Qin Xiaoyuan: Hello!


    Liu Siqi: Hey there!


    Tan Zhonglin: Hello, hello, hello!


    Zhang Keqin: Hello, hello, hello, hello!


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    Qin Yue, puppy-eyed: roll eyes + fawning dog¡­


    [Ding! Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s favorability +20!]


    [Ding! Zhang Keqin¡¯s favorability +20!]


    [Ding! Liu Siqi¡¯s favorability +20!]


    [Ding! Tan Zhonglin¡¯s favorability +20!]


    Chen Cang: WTF?


    What exactly happened?


    Chen Cang looked puzzled.


    Suddenly, he remembered a saying his parents told him: Chen Cang, when you¡¯re away from home it¡¯s not like being at home, those important people can be fickle; you must be careful.


    Chen Cang never quite understood the term ¡°fickle¡± before, but now he finally comprehended what it meant clearly.

 Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Theres Room for Improvement in Character!

    Chapter 26: There¡¯s Room for Improvement in Character!


    Translator: 549690339


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Chen Cang, coughed, and nodded his head. In order to alleviate the tension with Comrade Xiao Chen and to demonstrate care and concern, he tried to recall the expression and gaze he had when he first met his first love thirty years ago, striving to conjure up that same look:


    ¡°Comrade Xiao Chen, I had some misunderstandings about you just now. Don¡¯t take it to heart. You did a very good job this time.¡±


    ¡°Comrade Wu Gang is our hero, and you did the right thing this time. I will talk to your director about it, keep it up! I have high hopes for you!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang quickly nodded with a smile, ¡°Thank you, Director, you¡¯re too kind. It¡¯s what I should do.¡±


    But¡­ although Chen Cang was enthusiastic outwardly, he was uneasy inside.


    He actually saw in Director Qin¡¯s eyes¡­ love?


    This is freaking scary!


    With that thought, Chen Cang discreetly took a step back.


    Qin Xiaoyuan heard this and clicked his tongue. Not bad!


    The effect was good, and¡­


    The kid has a good awareness.


    ¡°Hmm, good! Not bad, keep up the good work, our hospital needs talents like you. I will come back and talk to your director, and make sure you¡¯re nurtured thoroughly!¡±


    [Ding! Favorability from Qin Xiaoyuan +5!]


    Chen Cang was stunned, Director Qin actually seemed so frivolous, his favorability towards me increased again.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang took a deep breath, if something were to happen to me, who would take a stand for me? It¡¯s no use speaking softly as a humble Chen.


    It¡¯s said that hospitals have their hidden rules, and it seems completely true!


    However¡­ being thoroughly nurtured, that sounds good!


    Qin Xiaoyuan answered a phone call and left in a hurry, casting a pensive glance at Liu Siqi and Tan Zhonglin as he left.


    ¡°Gentlemen, I have some matters to attend to and must leave now. I can¡¯t host you any longer. An Director, please accompany them.¡±


    After saying that, he hurriedly left.


    Watching Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s departure, Tan Zhonglin and Liu Siqi¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°This¡­ Dr. Chen, come out for a moment, let¡¯s have a chat,¡± Tan Zhonglin said with a beaming smile, pulling him aside.


    ¡°You did a really good job with that tendon suture. Who taught you?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°It was taught by the doctors in the department. Teacher An¡¯s tendon suture skills are top-notch.¡±


    An Yanjun¡¯s face turned red, but he remained calm and composed, nonchalant and serene.


    Tan Zhonglin laughed heartily and asked Chen Cang, ¡°So, can I have a word with you in private?¡±


    After saying that, he led Chen Cang to a secluded area, ¡°Xiao Chen, I think your skills are pretty good. Have you ever thought about coming to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital to develop? Our hand surgery department is lacking someone talented like you.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Director Tan¡­ I¡­¡±


    Tan Zhonglin sighed, ¡°A talent needs to be treated like one. I can¡¯t promise other things, but one establishment position will definitely be resolved within a year after you join.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes widened, a position?


    A bachelor¡¯s degree student getting a position at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, a prestigious provincial-grade hospital?


    Liu Siqi also came out and said affirmatively, ¡°That¡¯s right! Comrade Xiao Chen, take your time to think about it, there¡¯s no rush to decide. If you¡¯re willing to come, we¡¯re always welcoming.¡±


    After finishing, Liu Siqi and Tan Zhonglin exchanged phone numbers and WeChat with Chen Cang and then rushed off.


    An Yanjun came out at this time, looking at Chen Cang with a gossipy expression, ¡°Xiao Chen, what did they say?¡±


    Chen Cang spoke the truth, ¡°They want me to go to the Provincial People¡¯s, offering me a position and emphasized nurturing.¡±


    An Yanjun rolled his eyes, ¡°Cut it out! Don¡¯t pull an old Chen on me, always bragging¡­ What exactly did they say?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    Chen Cang: ¡°They said I¡¯m handsome.¡±


    An Yanjun pondered carefully, nodded, and walked away thoughtfully. He looked back as he walked away, ¡°That¡¯s true!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­%%£¤£¤£¤


    Looking at the phone in his hand, Chen Cang hesitated.


    Provincial People¡¯s Hospital was indeed a level above the Second Provincial Hospital, but Chen Cang knew his own limits. They were probably interested in his suturing skills, but a surgeon can¡¯t just know how to suture. Chen Cang wasn¡¯t unwilling to go to a better hospital, it just wasn¡¯t the right time. Moreover, Old Chen and Director Li had been good to him, and the hospital was about to offer him a permanent contract soon. Even though it wasn¡¯t a government post, it was still quite alright.


    One should eat their food one bite at a time¡­


    No sooner had Chen Cang returned to the ward than a few burly men approached him.


    ¡°Doctor Chen! Thank you so much!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, Doctor Chen, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    The two men hurriedly shook hands with Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°You are¡­?¡±


    The two men also gave an awkward smile, ¡°We¡¯re in the same squad as Wu Gang, brothers in life and death! We really owe you big this time. Otherwise, Old Wu would definitely have been transferred to the archives and not only would he forget about catching criminals, but even firing a gun would¡¯ve been difficult.¡±


    Chen Cang coughed, ¡°Uh huh, yes, that¡­ It¡¯s probably better to fire guns less frequently.¡±


    The man was taken aback, then burst into laughter, ¡°We¡¯re talking about the Type 05 pistol!¡±


    Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile and fled into the ward in a hurry.


    Sorry¡­ to disturb!


    At this moment, Zhang Keqin and Wu Gang were chatting. Seeing Chen Cang come in, Zhang Keqin also wore a big smile.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, you¡¯ve worked hard. I¡¯m an impatient man, don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°No problem, I understand. Having a captain like you is quite good, I think.¡±


    Indeed, ever since Wu Gang was injured, Zhang Keqin had been running around, using his connections to find experts. His dedication was truly admirable.


    Chen Cang looked at Wu Gang, ¡°Rest well during this time, and don¡¯t fire any pistols, ah, the Type 05! In a little over a month, you should be mostly fine.¡±


    Wu Gang stood up promptly, his face full of vigor, ¡°Doctor Chen, if there¡¯s ever anything you need from me, just say the word.¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°Forget about it. There¡¯s a saying: don¡¯t see a doctor when you¡¯re well, don¡¯t see a cop when you¡¯re in trouble.¡±


    ¡°Anything that involves you guys is at least a criminal offence. That would be such bad luck¡­¡±


    Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.


    Zhang Keqin laughed, ¡°Doctor Chen, you might not need us, but we will definitely need your help in the future.¡±


    At this, Zhang Keqin¡¯s face turned serious, ¡°Being police officers, especially detectives, we deal with criminals every day and often get injured. So, we will undoubtedly need to trouble you in the future.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Zhang Keqin¡¯s sincere and concerned face and reassured him, ¡°Okay, for any matter, just come straight to me!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you guys a green channel, any time, just one call and I¡¯ll be there!¡±


    There were no tasks or rewards, but Chen Cang was truly earnest.


    The medical profession is high-pressure and demanding.


    And the police force has even greater responsibilities and burdens than doctors, protecting society.


    Life is peaceful because there are those who march on despite the weight on their shoulders.


    Seeing the joyous Wu Gang, Chen Cang suddenly felt that none of these matters were important anymore.


    People should stand for something and against something.


    But there is a group of people who, knowing the dangers, still lead the charge, undaunted.


    Thinking back to when Wu Gang was shot while saving someone, Chen Cang felt his own blood heat up a bit.


    [Ding! Mission to save Wu Gang completed: Your Tendon Suture Surgery skill has been upgraded to Master level.]


    [Ding! Tendon Suture Surgery: Master level; Special effects: 1. Reduced adhesion factor; 2. Faster recovery (The suturing¡¯s precision and other factors will speed up the tendon healing process.)]


    But¡­ after suturing so many tendons, not a single piece of gear dropped?


    Seems like my luck still needs some improvement.

 Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Chapter 27

    Chapter 27: Chapter 27


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Another emergency night shift.


    Chen Cang felt that working the night shift was like playing the lottery. If luck was on your side, you¡¯d draw a great fortune, peace reigning across the land, and you could actually get some rest¡ªmaybe even catch some sleep.


    But if you were unlucky!


    Alas¡­


    A big crowd might stumble in, bloodied from some misfortune, keeping you busy all night.


    Just as Chen Gang¡¯s thought settled, he heard a tumultuous din erupt from the outpatient hall.


    Trouble had struck!


    Chen Cang hurried outside, and as soon as he stepped out, was assaulted by a


    wave of alcohol fumes.


    Jeez, were you guys drinking surgical spirits or what?


    Such a strong stench!


    You could smell them before you saw them!


    Peeking around the corner, Chen Cang instinctively stepped back a half pace.


    Because¡­


    He saw a group of burly men standing there, looking fierce and aggressive, the fresh blood soaking their clothes adding to their daunting presence, yet none of them exhibited pain on their faces!


    But¡­


    He saw over twenty men split into two groups, the muscular men hurling curses at each other bare-chested!


    The left side shouted, ¡°You coward!¡±


    The right side retorted, ¡°You scaredy-cat!¡±


    A big guy on the left: ¡°Just look at what you¡¯ve got tattooed on you! Is that supposed to be a tiger? Looks more like a cat to me!¡±


    A muscular man on the right: ¡°Oh please, yours is any good? Who knows if it was inked by some kid in front of a ten-buck shop, that dragon? Looks more


    like a worm!¡±


    The two groups, looking fierce and ghastly, only needed to stand silently to impose a sense of dread!


    But¡­


    Once they started talking, that aura disappeared completely, didn¡¯t it?


    And¡­


    Chen Cang actually found them amusing.


    It was like a film star had taken up cross-talk comedy and then gone back to acting.


    Full of camera presence, and not lacking in verbal talent either!


    The leader on the left was a bald hulk of a man, tall and muscular. Though he lacked muscular definition, his imposing build and tanned skin made up for it. A dragon was tattooed on his left arm, but someone had marred the dragon¡¯s head with a slash, which was oozing blood. He kept wiping the wound with a piece of clothing, turning his white coat red. However, what caught the eye wasn¡¯t just that, but the gold¡­ chain around his neck. Calling it a chain seemed an understatement; it was so thick, Chen Cang thought it was as thick as an elder¡¯s thumb.


    That must weigh several pounds at least!


    The one on the right was even more extravagant, with seven or eight gold rings on his fingers and a more subtle piece of jade around his neck. But it was a huge piece of jade, and importantly, not one carved with Guanyin or Buddha, but with Lord Guan himself!


    Tsk tsk tsk, the tastes of the wealthy are truly¡­


    Truly bland!


    The man¡¯s chest also sported a gash, leaving the tiger tattoo on the front barely discernible to just an intimidating tiger head.


    When the left side¡¯s leader cursed, his lackeys echoed the sentiment.


    The right side¡¯s boss did the same, neither side giving in.


    From a distance, the two groups exhibited a curious kind of harmony.


    Both sides cursed with fervor and glee.


    Several nervous nurses, initially filled with anxiety, found their tension significantly eased.


    Chen Cang guessed that if he didn¡¯t intervene, they could probably bicker all night long.


    ¡°Alright, well¡­ gentleman, this is a hospital, lots of people are resting, and with all that blood on you, you should get dressed first. After all¡­ blood is pretty valuable!¡±


    The hefty man to the left looked as if he wanted to glare Chen Cang to death. ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m short on cash? Hurry up and get ready. Ten brothers here, one bag each, whole blood! We¡¯re talking plasma, red cells, white cells, the works!¡±


    Chen Cang realized that these technical terms coming from the big guy¡¯s mouth were intentionally used to add a splash of culture, as if to show off how badass he was.


    Sure enough, the gang leader shot a challenging look at the tiger tattooed tough guy-


    The big shot on the right glared back with fierce tiger-like eyes: ¡°Looking down on us, huh? Is blood expensive? Each of us will donate a pint, drink it if necessary!¡±


    Left side: ¡°You ignoramus, blood is for transfusion!¡±


    Right side: ¡°You country bumpkin, what if I¡¯m thirsty and want to drink it?¡±


    Chen Cang:¡­


    What in the world are these goons?


    No way!


    You can¡¯t reason with a drunkard.


    Chen Cang coughed: ¡°It¡¯s not about the cost, it¡¯s about its importance. You¡¯re losing blood right now, and the hospital doesn¡¯t have a huge reserve. You¡¯ll have to recuperate on your own. Besides, losing so much blood can be dangerous, leading to excessive blood loss¡­¡±


    At this moment, one of the underlings suddenly said to the dragon head boss on the left: ¡°Boss, as the old saying goes: ¡®For every drop of essence, ten drops of blood.¡¯ That pint of blood is ounce of essence! You¡¯re only firing off a few grams with each shot, think about it, with all this blood loss, could anything be more wasteful?¡­¡±


    The two bosses were immediately startled awake!


    My god, Chen Cang was speechless, that explanation was killer!


    The revelation was shocking to behold!


    Why do I almost feel convinced to donate some blood myself?


    ¡°Doctor! Stitch me up and stop the bleeding first! I¡¯ll¡­ I¡¯ll pay you,¡± the dragon head big guy seemed frightened by the underling¡¯s theory just now.


    Chen Cang too was stunned for a moment, realizing his theories were ineffective with this crowd.


    Their own theories were the ones that worked.


    Chen Cang sighed helplessly: ¡°First, go and register for emergency treatment.¡± The smart underling immediately got up to register, while the sturdy man hanging on the chest of Guan Erye across the way seemed to be impressed by the ¡°essence-blood theory¡± as well, finding it quite reasonable!


    He looked disappointedly at his own underlings, seemingly frustrated and embarrassed by their incompetence.


    But thinking of his own grave injury, his expression changed, and he moved closer, saying: ¡°Doctor, my wound is deep. Stitch me up first!¡±


    Chen Cang assessed the man¡¯s condition: ¡°Go to the emergency desk and register. Use your ID, no rush, one at a time. The system needs to record your information.¡±


    Then looking at the others: ¡°You too, each person gets a number. You¡¯re all bleeding, get cleaned up, don¡¯t let it get infected.¡±


    The dragon head guy remarked to the tiger guy: ¡°Tsk tsk, see that? This is what you call having talented reserves and cultivation, efficiency is high!


    After saying that, he provocatively entered the treatment room.


    At the door, he didn¡¯t forget to turnback and taunt: ¡°You, everything¡¯s always behind me!¡±


    The dragon head guy instantly became annoyed: ¡°Hmph! I just don¡¯t think much of this little doctor, what the heck can he stitch? Later he¡¯ll turn your dragon head into a worm, and sew your dragon eye shut, I¡¯m going to the provincial people, certainly they have experts!¡±


    Brothers, let¡¯s go! Tiger bro will take you to the provincial people.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Follow Tiger bro to the experts.¡±


    The dragon head guy who had just gone in suddenly paused!


    Because he felt that what the tiger head guy said made a lot of sense, and he stood up, ready to chase after him: ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s also find an expert, we can¡¯t be outdone, if my dragon head gets ruined, it would be a colossal loss, I spent tens of thousands of yuan on this tattoo¡­


    Just as Chen Cang had opened the wound-cleaning suture pack, he heard this and was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly saw a question mark form above the head of the dragon head guy.


    ps: Three times a day I ask myself: Do I read? Do 1 vote? Do I reward?

 Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Chapter 28: The Dragon of Mona Lisa

    Chapter 28: Chapter 28: The Dragon of Mona Lisa


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Cang clicked on the vaguely forming question mark.


    ¡°Ding! NPC Zhang Dalong has issued a task: stitch up the wound and the tattoo on the arm. The reward will be determined by the outcome¡ªthe more satisfied Zhang Dalong is, the richer the reward will be!¡±


    When Chen Cang looked up again, he had made up his mind to keep this person here!


    He raised his hand and shouted!


    ¡°Stop right there!¡±


    Zhang Dalong was about to leave when he was startled by the sudden shout, just like the feeling of being caught by a teacher while skipping school!


    He felt somewhat sheepish and guilty!


    ChenCang: ¡°Sit down!¡±


    For some reason, Zhang Dalong suddenly felt like sitting down, his legs not quite obeying him.


    Zhang Dalong, with widened eyes, seemed to want to argue about something, but noticed that Chen Cang had already picked up a knife.


    So he chose to shut his mouth!


    Or should we say¡­ he was angry but dared not speak?


    Chen Cang took off the clothes covering the man¡¯s arm and saw a long cut, running from the dragon¡¯s horn straight to its foot, piercing right through the dragon¡¯s head, greatly affecting its overall impressiveness.


    Zhang Dalong opened his mouth and said softly, ¡°Doctor, look at my right arm.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, looked down seriously, and after pondering for a while said, ¡°Is this¡­ the mythical creature with features of four different animals?¡±


    Zhang Dalong coughed and said, ¡°This is the White Tiger!¡±


    Chen Cang:¡­


    ¡°This White Tiger looks a bit¡­ mutated!¡±


    Zhang Dalong shook his head and sighed: ¡°Someone else stitched it up, and it turned into this mess back and forth! Now I just want to have it removed.¡±


    Having said that, Zhang Dalong suddenly looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor, this dragon of mine¡­¡±


    Chen Cang took a closer look: ¡°It has single eyelids!¡±


    Zhang Dalong: ¡°???¡±


    Chen Cang began to scrutinize it carefully, and the ¡°Beauty¡¯s Eye¡± in his eyes naturally activated. At this moment, there had been too many deviations in this scene from Chen Gang¡¯s perspective.


    His eyes began to conceive how to sketch so as to stitch it up without losing its dominance!


    After all, the reward was linked to the level of satisfaction!


    Zhang Dalong was about to speak, but Chen Cang interrupted directly: ¡°Don¡¯t talk, don¡¯t move either, otherwise it¡¯ll affect the muscle shape, and if I end up stitching it into a lizard, I won¡¯t be responsible.¡±


    Zhang Dalong shut his mouth¡ªyou have the knife, you rule!


    ¡°This wound clearly wasn¡¯t made by a knife. It¡¯s very irregular. What caused it?¡±


    Zhang Dalong: ¡°¡­¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°What caused the injury? Don¡¯t you remember?¡±


    Zhang Dalong, with a fearful face: ¡°You told me not to talk¡­ what if it becomes a lizard, how embarrassing that would be.¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°It¡¯s alright, I haven¡¯t started stitching yet.¡±


    Zhang Dalong: ¡°A beer bottle. It was that guy you saw just now, but I didn¡¯t suffer any loss. The tiger on his stomach got decapitated by me!¡±


    As he said this, Zhang Dalong was full of joy, quite proud!


    Chen Cang nodded, opened the wound cleaning and suturing kit, and began cleaning the wound, anesthetizing and stitching.


    At this moment, the brother¡¯s nine buddies came in and gathered around to watch Chen Cang stitch up the wound.


    Zhang Dalong didn¡¯t dare to make a sound, for fear that Chen Cang would stitch up a lizard.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang, holding the needle with tweezers, continued to trace and sketch, as if painting!


    He began stitching from the head of the dragon. Due to the irregularity of the cut, he had to insert the needle in multiple points in order not to disrupt the tattoo, thus increasing the complexity of the task.


    However, this was still Chen Gang¡¯s first time doing such detailed artisanal work, and he felt a bit of anticipation.


    The dragon¡¯s eye was cut open!


    Chen Cang frowned, wondering how to handle it.


    Suddenly, he thought of a small technique for creating double eyelids that


    Zhang Zhixin used, which could definitely be applied to the eye!


    With that thought, Chen Cang felt unhurried and even a bit excited.


    A few minutes later, the people behind him began to express their shock!


    ¡°Damn, those dragon eyes are badass!¡±


    ¡°Right? But they seem to look a little different now!¡±


    ¡°No kidding, from single to double eyelids, how could they look the same?¡±


    ¡°Get lost, I think the dragon¡¯s eyes are even more domineering, it feels like they¡¯re glaring at me!¡±


    ¡°Holy crap? Now that you mention it, I feel the same way too?¡±


    ¡°Amazing!¡±


    ¡°Too awesome!¡±


    A bunch of little brothers were chattering away, leaving Zhang Dalong utterly baffled¡ªwhat on earth was happening?


    But remembering what Chen Cang had said just now, he dared not move an inch, fearing that he might repeat the same mistake and end up with something as freakish as his right arm.


    At this moment, he felt an itching curiosity¡ªwhat exactly had happened?


    Why were these people so excited?


    Thinking this, Zhang Dalong felt like ants were crawling all over him, the itchiness unbearable.


    ¡°Look, look, here¡­ here! The stitching is amazing, it even brings out the dragon scales.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s nothing, check out this line, does it look like a dragon¡¯s whisker to you?¡±


    ¡°Oh my, it does! It really does!¡±


    ¡°Hey, hey, hey? Look from my angle, it¡¯s freaking majestic, this is way too cool!¡±


    The chattering noise had already faded from Chen Gang¡¯s ears¡ªhis soul seemed to have merged with Zhang Dalong¡¯s arm!


    Finally, with the last stitch in place and a handsome surgical knot tied, Chen Cang said, ¡°Alright, stand up and have a look at the result, I¡¯m going to bandage it up for you.¡±


    Zhang Dalong watched as a crowd of little brothers marveled at his arm, somewhat perplexed!


    He got up and hesitantly stood in front of a mirror.


    With one look, Zhang Dalong was flabbergasted!


    Stunned!


    Astonished!


    This¡­


    This is the real dragon!


    Explosion!


    Cool to the point of explosion!


    Feel like a dragon soaring through the nine provinces, leaping over the four seas, don¡¯t you?


    Zhang Dalong felt his breathing quicken, his eyes widening to the point he could barely look directly, because he noticed that in the mirror, this majestic giant dragon was staring right at him.


    Looking at it was somewhat hair-raising¡­


    He shifted to a different angle and found it was still the same.


    The dragon¡¯s eyes were still fixed on him.


    Shocking!


    Zhang Dalong¡¯s heart pounded; his shoulders twitched.


    This was nothing short of a miracle!


    He carefully turned his head to look at his arm and noticed that after the stitching, the dragon¡¯s eye looked even more domineering and spirited, and even¡­ had double eyelids???


    Zhang Dalong fell silent!


    Chen Cang was taken aback and turned to Zhang Dalong, ¡°What¡¯s up? Are you satisfied or not?¡±


    Zhang Dalong continued to be silent.


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded¡ªdamn it, could it be a screw-up?


    He felt a pang of anxiety!


    All of a sudden, Zhang Dalong looked at Chen Cang with deep emotion, ¡°Doctor! No! You are not a doctor!¡±


    ¡°I think you are an artist! A great artist who heals the human soul! This dragon! It¡¯s fantastic; you¡¯ve literally brought it to life!¡±


    ¡°You are a great artist, and I think this dragon should have a new name, called¡­ called¡­ the Mona Lisa Dragon!¡±


    Chen Cang burst out laughing!


    ¡°What?¡±


    Zhang Dalong said with conviction, ¡°The Mona Lisa Dragon!¡±


    ¡°Think about it, no matter from which direction or angle you look at this dragon, it seems to be staring at you, just like the Mona Lisa!¡±


    ¡°So it should be named: the Mona Lisa Dragon!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you guys agree?¡± Zhang Dalong looked at his gang of little brothers!


    ¡°Right! Great choice of name!¡±


    ¡°The boss is quick-witted, highly talented, and well-learned¡ªa true scholar!¡±


    ¡°This name is understated luxury with depth, combining Western art and Eastern tradition perfectly!¡±


    ¡°Boss, I suggest you make a social media post to show Zhao Huqiu what a real master looks like!¡±


    Examine oneself three times a day¡ªhave you read? Voted? Rewarded?

 Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Heart of Youth

    Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Heart of Youth


    Translator: 549690339 |


    A saying that wakes the dreamer!


    Zhang Dalong suddenly realized something someone brilliant had said was quite right: What is the most important thing in the 21st century?


    Talent!


    He looked at his little brothers with warmth in his eyes and felt extremely reassured.


    Without hesitation, he took out his phone and snapped several photos of himself in the mirror.


    He then started composing a post for his social circle:


    ¡°Masterpiece: The Dragon of Mona Lisa!¡±


    Underneath were several photos taken from different angles!


    Afterward, he admired his post with self-satisfaction.


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°You need to get that bandaged, otherwise it might get infected.¡±


    Zhang Dalong shook his head, ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry, what¡¯s an infection! We¡¯re not even afraid of catching a cold!¡±


    Chen Cang:¡­


    You damn well are a talent!


    I almost want to give you a round of applause with my Italian cannon.


    Equating an infection with a common cold, you¡¯re the first. Should I add an ¡°emotionally touched¡± for you?


    ¡°If it gets infected without bandaging, this dragon is done for! If it suppurates, it will be even more troublesome, and we might have to cut that piece of flesh out.¡±


    Zhang Dalong¡¯s body shuddered, and he immediately sat down obediently, ¡°Come on, Master, bandage me up!¡±


    Chen Cang:¡­


    After the bandaging was done, Chen Cang said, ¡°Come back in a few days to have the stitches removed. Remember, don¡¯t let it get wet for the next couple of days and be cautious of infection!¡±


    Zhang Dalong nodded obediently.


    Because in his mind, he had already formulated a perfect equation:


    Infection = dragon gone


    Dragon gone > common cold


    Therefore


    Infection > common cold


    After Chen Cang finished bandaging, he promptly received a notification:


    [NPC Zhang Dalong has issued a task: Wound cleaning and suturing completed, Satisfaction level: Extremely satisfied, can be considered perfect, Task reward: 1. Zhang Dalong¡¯s favorable impression +10; 2. RMB +200; 3. Skin suturing experience +200, 4. A special reward, which can be opened to receive a mystery item.]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    Such an array of items?


    It¡¯s indeed luxurious!


    Finishing such a simple task brought such a generous reward, this suturing task was even more rewarding than the suppurative appendicitis he had dealt with before!


    Moreover, most importantly, there was a mystery item.


    Mystery items are great things!


    Chen Cang once pulled a special skill from a mystery item: Beauty¡¯s Eye.


    For reconstructive work, that was like a bug-level skill.


    What could be in this time¡¯s mystery item?


    Without time to open it, a group of little brothers gathered around!


    ¡°Master! My dragonfish too got a cut, could you take a look at how to stitch it?¡±


    ¡°Master! Guan Er Ye on my back also got a tear, can you take a look if it can be fixed up¡­¡±


    Seeing each rugged big man calling him Master, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    He started one suturing task after another.


    From twelve o¡¯clock, it was about one thirty in the morning before he finished suturing.


    Although somewhat tired, the harvest was quite substantial!


    Especially the skin suturing experience, which directly increased by more than six hundred points.


    [Skin suturing: Advanced: 1200/4000]


    The burly men looked at their tattoos with satisfaction, and each took photos as souvenirs.


    And as they left, they each added Chen Cang as a WeChat friend.


    Zhang Dalong laughed heartily and said, ¡°Master, if you ever encounter any trouble in Damavillage that you can¡¯t handle, just give me a call. I, Zhang Dalong, have some reputation around these parts.¡±


    The other underlings nodded in agreement, ¡°Exactly, Master, just say the word!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled faintly, ¡°You should get back and rest early.¡±


    Zhang Dalong nodded, ¡°Alright, that¡­ Master, if we ever get knocked up or sliced by a knife, we¡¯ll come to you from now on. We¡¯ll be in your care.¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    Once the group had left, several nurses came over.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, are you alright?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, I¡¯m fine!


    One of the nurses said, ¡°I know this Zhang Dalong. He¡¯s the vill¡­¡±


    Before the nurse could finish, suddenly a big guy turned back, and seeing him, the nurse hurried away in fright¡­


    Zhang Dalong was puzzled and touched his bald head, looking at Chen Cang in confusion, ¡°Master, am 1 that scary?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°No, the nurse gets dizzy at the sight of dragons, she gets lightheaded. By the way, why did you come back?¡±


    Zhang Dalong took off a gold ring from his finger, ¡°Master, I really owe you one today. The boss at the tattoo shop on my friend circle just said it¡¯d cost hundreds to fix this, and it¡¯d be even more expensive to find a master. I don¡¯t have that much cash on me, so you take this ring. We Zhangs don¡¯t take advantage of others.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the shiny gold ring, easily weighing in at fifteen or twenty grams, which was worth thousands.


    Chen Cang hurriedly refused, ¡°I was just doing my job, if you give this to me, I could get reported and lose my job.¡±


    Zhang Dalong saw Chen Cang adamantly refused and had no choice but to relent, ¡°Fine, then just remember to call me if you ever need help. And if you need money or anything, just say so.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded in agreement.


    Zhang Dalong, seeing that there was nobody around, asked in a low voice, ¡°Master, should I get a blood transfusion, after all¡­ ¡®a drop of X for ten drops of blood¡¯, I bleed quite often, could I be anemic?¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Zhang Dalong, whose arms were thicker than his own legs, and sighed, ¡°You don¡¯t need it.¡±


    Zhang Dalong said ¡°Oh¡± and was about to leave, but he felt uneasy, hesitating and almost staggering, looking back three steps at a time, ¡°Really? I feel unsteady when I walk. I¡¯m sure my kidneys are weak!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    You really are educated¡­


    The departure of this group brought a brief moment of peace to the emergency room, but this peace didn¡¯t last long.


    Chen Cang sat in front of the computer to complete the medical records, after all, the outpatient records of those dozen big guys needed to be documented.


    Looking at the thousands of words of records, Chen Cang sighed, probably even writers don¡¯t type as much as he did in one day.


    With that thought, Chen Cang sighed,


    ¡°You¡¯re a mature computer, why can¡¯t you write medical records by yourself?¡±


    At that moment, the nurse Chang Lina, who had been all bluster earlier, came running in with a strange look on her face, ¡°Doctor Chen, it¡¯s not good, come out and see!¡±


    Curious, Chen Cang quickly stood up and headed to the emergency hall.


    There at the triage nurse¡¯s station stood a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old, who, judging from his faint stubble, appeared to be a high school student.


    The boy seemed very honest and calm, with a short crew cut, a somewhat pale face, black-rimmed glasses, and dressed in a set of khaki pajamas.


    But!


    Chen Cang noticed that the boy¡¯s pajama pants were covered in bloodstains.


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression instantly became serious. There was bleeding¡­


    The area centered six inches below the waist was stained with bright red blood.


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes widened, asking anxiously, ¡°What happened? What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The young man remained unruffled, his composure impeccable!


    ¡°Doctor, I¡­ have a wound, and it¡¯s bleeding.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, bleeding and still so calm?


    Chen Cang, ¡°Come with me to the treatment room for a check-up.¡±


    Chen Cang led the boy to the treatment room, and his mother followed. At this point, the boy¡¯s mother became anxious to go in with them.


    The boy smiled calmly, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine, don¡¯t come in.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the mother¡¯s face changed, ¡°What are you talking about at a time like this!¡±


    The boy suddenly stood in the doorway, unmoving.


    ¡°If you come in, I won¡¯t have it done,¡± the boy said with principle, calmly and serenely. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ps: Have you self-reflected today, read, voted, donated a reward, or complimented me? Is it well-written?

 Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Positive Energy!

    Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Positive Energy!


    Translator: 549690339 I


    Chen Cang also urged, ¡°Hello, ma¡¯am, please step out for a moment, and let me check what¡¯s going on with the child.¡±


    Finally, the mother repeatedly instructed Chen Cang, ¡°If there¡¯s anything, let me know right away!¡±


    Only then did she leave, and the boy also breathed a sigh of relief and undressed without hesitation.


    Chen Cang was taken aback.


    Because¡­ it was covered in fresh blood!


    There were even many pieces resembling¡­ resembling shards of glass!


    The glass fragments were still embedded in his body.


    As Chen Cang examined more closely, he understood!


    This was a fragment of a thermos liner!


    Yes, those fragments from the small domestic thermos.


    [Ding! Mission triggered, save the injured boy, completion of the mission rewards one option: Circumcision (Junior Level)]


    Chen Cang was startled!


    Circumcision?


    A very common, minor surgery that many departments perform, including general surgery, urology, and emergency medicine.


    Chen Cang had assisted with the procedure several times under Chen Bingsheng but had never performed it by himself.


    The reward was not bad.


    Chen Cang looked at the child¡¯s condition and sighed.


    The education about adolescent sexual health in our country still lacks proper guidance and education.


    The boy let out a long sigh, looking rather helpless, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect¡­ this to happen.¡±


    Chen Cang:¡­


    You expected it?


    The boy noticed Chen Gang¡¯s uneasiness and continued, ¡°Doctor, no need to worry, it¡¯s nothing serious!¡±


    Chen Cang: ???


    I¡¯m worried?


    You¡¯re comforting me at a time like this, am I the victim here?


    Kid, you are truly something else!


    When Chen Cang looked at the youth again, he suddenly felt that if this child could survive this, he would certainly achieve great things. Just this calm and collected demeanor, unmoved even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him, was not something ordinary people could manage¡­


    After evaluating the situation and washing the wound with saline, Chen Cang found that it was just as the boy had said ¨C it wasn¡¯t too serious. Some tiny thermos liner shards had pierced small blood vessels, causing considerable bleeding.


    After some thought, Chen Cang asked the young man:


    ¡°I need to get a nurse to help me out, you don¡¯t mind, do you?¡±


    The boy shook his head: ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m almost of age. Just don¡¯t let my mom see, and besides, what haven¡¯t the nurses seen? This¡­ it¡¯s not embarrassing.¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless, are kids nowadays this daring?


    I really can¡¯t understand what you mean by the last sentence: ¡°This¡­ isn¡¯t embarrassing¡± ¨C what on earth does that mean?


    When Chang Lina came in, she was also slightly taken aback, but she quickly understood. After all, what hadn¡¯t she seen in the emergency department?


    Having faced many tough situations, she wasn¡¯t too surprised.


    Chen Cang requested, ¡°Hold this part of the liner with the gauze for me, while I use a small tweezer to carefully break open a little mouth.¡±


    Chang Lina nodded and began to work.


    Their cooperation was fairly smooth, and with the liner not being overly sturdy, it didn¡¯t take long to split open and free the trapped piece!


    The boy also breathed a sigh of relief!


    The rest of the work was simple.


    A routine cleaning and bandaging were all that was needed.


    However, seeing the unflappable youth, Chen Cang felt he still needed to advise the kid to form a proper set of values!


    ¡°Don¡¯t make jokes with your body in the future.¡±


    The youth nodded: ¡°I¡¯m about to start college soon.¡±


    Chen Cang:¡­


    And what does that have to do with going to college?


    I¡¯ve already graduated from college, you know?


    Seeing Chen Gang¡¯s confusion, the boy explained: ¡°I won¡¯t need it once I¡¯m there.¡±


    Chen Cang spoke seriously: ¡°Take care of yourself; you¡¯re still young, don¡¯t treat your organs like toys. You can¡¯t afford it.¡±


    The youth nodded: ¡°Okay, thank you, doctor. I¡¯m leaving now, please don¡¯t tell my mom. I¡¯ll tell her the thermos broke and cut me down there.¡±


    As they came out, the boy¡¯s mother hurried over.


    ¡°Is everything all right, Xiao Tian?¡±


    ¡°Doctor, my child is okay, right?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled: ¡°It¡¯s fine, just a superficial wound. Don¡¯t bathe for the next couple of days, take some antibiotics, and come back in three days to have the dressing changed, and you¡¯ll be good.¡±


    The woman finally relaxed and took a sip of water.


    The hormones of adolescence are truly terrifying!


    These untamed hormones indeed caught him off guard.


    The departure of the two left Chen Cang standing at the nurse¡¯s station deep in thought.


    Even the two nurses were excitedly discussing the incident.


    The more senior nurse suddenly commented, ¡°I¡¯m thankful my kids are still young, but¡­ I should probably start sex education early.¡±


    Chang Lina, unmarried but in a relationship, marveled, ¡°Kids nowadays really do keep you on your toes!¡±


    The younger nurse, still an intern, blushed, but¡­ she seemed very curious about what had happened and wanted to take a look in the dressing room. However, not being allowed in, she could only imagine what happened through the descriptions from Chang Lina.


    After all, the imaginative power of women has always been innate.


    The mental images they concocted veered greatly off course¡­


    Chang Lina sighed: ¡°Ah, being single is a sin!¡±


    Chen Cang was nearly laughed to tears by the group¡¯s banter, and as he was about to leave¡­


    Chang Lina suddenly turned to face Chen Cang: ¡°Doctor Chen, do you have a significant other?¡±


    Chen Gang¡¯s expression changed:¡±¡­¡±


    Chang Lina and the other young nurse immediately burst into mischievous laughter, causing Chen Cang to feel a tingling sense of dread¡­


    Fearsome fujoshi!


    Are you devils!?

    Chen Cang looked contentedly at the basic surgical skill he had acquired.


    He felt a little smug inside, as for not having a girlfriend.


    Do I not have a girlfriend?


    Juzi Lisha, Nanako¡­ there are too many, I switch them every day, but it¡¯s all just online romance, without meeting in person.


    Moreover¡­


    I haven¡¯t stolen or robbed, my twenty-plus years of proud singleness is due to a deep consciousness of poverty.


    But now that I¡¯m wealthy, I have the chance to find a partner.


    Chen Cang checked his Yu¡¯E Bao and found that he had already accumulated over twenty-two thousand.


    And with about two thousand in cash, Chen Cang quickly calculated, he had earned a total of around three thousand in just seven or eight days!


    What a terrifying number!


    The system provided Chen Cang with a rich variety of ways to earn money.


    Such as Alipay¡¯s lucky draw, collecting WeChat red packets, even the three thousand RMB worth of stocks Chen Cang bought last year had started to pay off, as it seemed running one¡¯s own system was quite exhausting.


    After all, trying every means to rationalize one¡¯s income was alarming for Chen Cang, it seemed he should start buying lottery tickets more often whether or not he had something to do.


    Chen Cang patiently took out his calculator and after careful calculation, adding his monthly salary of over two thousand, his monthly income could reach fifteen thousand.


    Should I: find a partner?


    Slap!


    Chen Cang quickly slapped himself awake.


    He¡¯s getting ahead of himself, daring to think about finding a girlfriend. What else do you want to do, fly to the heavens?


    Chen Cang hastily shook his head, no! no! no!


    Focus on progressing slowly, don¡¯t rush things.


    If I could have fifteen thousand a month, should I consider renting a new house?


    Once the job is secure, I should first save some money, get together a down payment, at least to gain a foothold in this city.


    It would be a place to call home at least.


    The night passed without incident, and in the late hours, several people came in for bandages, a couple had fought and battered themselves bloody. Unwilling to hit each other, they struck themselves instead, and the farce finally ended with the husband smashing a wine bottle over his own head.


    The next day, after his shift ended, Chen Cang went home and caught up on sleep.


    When he got up, it was already twelve at noon, and after washing up, Chen Cang went downstairs to eat.


    There were many vendors in Dama Village, and the street was lined with small eateries, with various stalls everywhere, unregulated. After all, as one of the few large-scale urban villages in the city center, it had become a bustling place for the lower-class citizens.


    But today¡¯s Dama Village was somewhat different from usual, with many shops posting signs for closing down sales.


    Probably because the news of the demolition had spread.


    Chen Cang went to a small diner he often frequented and ordered a Kung Pao chicken rice bowl.


    Wiry Kung Pao chicken?


    Because the owner¡¯s knife skills are poor!


    The chicken cubes often turn out to be chunks¡­


    Seeing Chen Cang come in, Old He smiled and said, ¡°Oh, Kung Pao chicken?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and smiled, ¡°Mhm.¡±


    Old He was the owner of this restaurant, the landlord, and the chef. To put it simply, he opened this restaurant mainly to satisfy his passion for cooking, so he wouldn¡¯t lose his skills. His wife and children usually ate here too, making the small restaurant feel just like a dining room at home.


    The five-story self-built house with its storefront behind them all belonged to Old He¡¯s family.


    The restaurant usually wasn¡¯t busy because Old He¡¯s food was more expensive, but comparatively, the hygiene standards were better.


    Those who run restaurants in urban villages usually rely on slim profit margins and high sales volume, and those that are popular are the ones that offer good deals. Old He¡¯s restaurant wasn¡¯t particularly cheap, and the taste was just so- so, passable.


    But it had one advantage: the food tasted like homemade, which meant it certainly couldn¡¯t compete with those small restaurants that used a ton of ingredients and seasonings.


    However, Old He enjoyed the leisure, spending his days in the restaurant reading novels and cooking, while his wife picked up and dropped off their grandson from school. The whole family lived happily and contentedly.


    Soon, Old He¡¯s Kung Pao chicken was served, featuring large chunks of chicken meat.


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°Uncle Old He, it¡¯s a good thing your restaurant isn¡¯t crowded, or running it would definitely be a loss-making business!¡±


    Old He, washing his hands with a smile and opening a novel, ignored him, ¡°Just eat! The demolition notice has already been issued, who knows how long I¡¯ll be here.¡±


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°Where¡¯s the replacement housing?¡±


    Old He shook his head, ¡°I have to figure it out myself, but I bought two new apartments in the new district. I¡¯ll move there once this place is demolished. You should hurry and find a place to rent too.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, planning to look for a place in the afternoon.


    It would be best to find somewhere close to the hospital, renting a single room would be ideal.


    In the afternoon, Chen Cang, with 58.com in hand, made an appointment with a real estate agent to go see some apartments.


    The houses near Provincial Hospital No. 2 were not cheap, and it would be inconvenient for Chen Cang to take the bus every day to work if he lived too far away.


    He spent the afternoon visiting four or five neighborhoods, looking at more than twenty apartments.


    Chen Cang took a liking to a loft-style second-floor single room.


    The house seemed to have been divided by the agent into four rooms, two upstairs and two downstairs.


    The single room upstairs had a balcony, faced south for optimal sunlight, and was not bad at all. The price was 1400 a month or 1300 with an annual payment. After some thought, Chen Cang decided to rent it.


    After all, the prices were all more or less the same, and after so much looking, this one was satisfying enough.


    The area around Provincial Hospital No. 2 was quite prosperous, one of the city center¡¯s hubs. There were also a private gynecology and obstetrics hospital, the first affiliated hospital of Dongyang Medical University, and the Provincial Reproductive Center nearby, not to mention a key primary school. Thus, the housing in the vicinity was quite expensive.


    At 1300 a month, it was acceptable. Chen Cang, after pondering for a long while, decided to rent it.


    The place was about a ten-minute walk from the hospital, convenient and quick. The room itself was decent, and what pleased Chen Cang the most was that on the first floor, there was a communal kitchen, which he felt could save him some money.


    The young agent was reliable, having run around with Chen Cang all afternoon, they eventually settled on 1300. However, you still had to pay one month¡¯s rent as the agent¡¯s fee, and another month¡¯s rent for the deposit, plus a 500 deposit for water and electricity¡­ all in all, it came to nearly 20,000 yuan in one go!


    Chen Cang sighed; thankfully, he had saved a bit of money, otherwise, he¡¯d really be reduced to roaming the streets.


    He went to sign the contract the next day, and then he could start slowly moving his stuff over.


    Fortunately, Chen Cang didn¡¯t have much to move, but¡­


    The second floor of the loft became an obstacle for Chen Cang.


    After all, moving things up the stairs was truly a laborious task; why hadn¡¯t he thought of that before?


    Chen Cang resolved to move one item each day¡­ Little by little, by the time the demolition began, he would be done.


    Fat Auntie was generous, returning Chen Gang¡¯s excess deposit and rent; he effectively lived the month for free, and the water and electricity were generously waived.

    That day, after handing over her shift, Head Nurse Tian Xianglan suddenly said, ¡°The end of the month is approaching, and our emergency department¡¯s performance is likely going to be at the bottom again. Everyone, please make sure to follow up on patients¡¯ hospitalization fees during this time. Many have incurred debts upon admission and have not yet paid. Our department definitely won¡¯t meet its targets, but we can¡¯t let the hospital leadership call us out again, right?


    Also¡­ doctors, please conserve your medical supplies. They¡¯re money, you know. And those masks, can you not use a new one every day, like your home has a mine? And those swabs, don¡¯t just throw them out before they are fully used. Besides, add some alcohol and they can still be used!¡­ It¡¯s all money after all.¡±


    ¡°Lastly, there¡¯s the issue with outpatient fees. From now on, one appointment for one patient. You can¡¯t have one appointment for dozens of patients. The hospital is now implementing a policy of one identity card for one patient. Also, remember to charge for suture packs and dressing packs. This place isn¡¯t a welfare institution, everyone¡­ I won¡¯t mention names, but everyone please be attentive¡­¡±


    Mm, the head nurse, as always, remarked that one doesn¡¯t know the cost of fuel and rice until they run a household.


    As the steward of the department and in charge of the family¡¯s finances, Tian Xianglan also had a significant responsibility.


    It may seem like the emergency department is the largest in the hospital, but¡­ it is also the poorest.


    The emergency department¡¯s shift system is quite unique, varying from one hospital to another.


    The daytime work is more tedious¡ªwriting medical records, rounding, treating patients, debridement, dressing changes. These activities had become a habit of life for a surgeon, as natural as getting up in the morning and washing one¡¯s face and brushing one¡¯s teeth. Not handling a scalpel or gauze for a day felt like something was missing.


    Wang Qian came back from honeymoon, and his vacation in Hawaii had made the burly young man lose several pounds.


    Chen Cang exclaimed with a sigh that apparently, a honeymoon could be a real workout.


    Chen Bingsheng looked at Chen Cang and said, ¡°Today I have two appendectomy surgeries, and An Yanjun has one. I have talked to him, and asked you to do it, so give it your all.¡±


    Chen Gang¡¯s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, ¡°Alright, boss! Thanks a lot.¡±


    Having surgeries to perform was a joyful affair for a surgeon.


    How many surgeons entered a hospital and didn¡¯t get to perform a single surgery for days or even weeks, and even if they did, they were just passing instruments; so opportunities were very important.


    Chen Bingsheng gave Chen Cang opportunities, even ¡°borrowing¡± An Yanjun¡¯s surgeries for him.


    Chen Bingsheng rolled his eyes: ¡°Cut the flattery, just practice hard. Strive to perfect the appendectomy during this period, and when they come for the inspection, you¡¯ll handle the appendectomies. There will surely be no problems!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, smiling and asked, ¡°Can you really make something special out of an appendectomy?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng sneered: ¡°You think appendectomy is simple?¡±


    Chen Cang curiously asked, ¡°Is it difficult?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng couldn¡¯t help but shake his head: ¡°A simple appendectomy is very easy; that¡¯s true. But what if the patient has various complications, or if the situation inside the abdominal cavity is less than ideal? How far can you go then?¡±


    ¡°Here at our Provincial Second Hospital, we mostly encounter routine cases. When I was studying at Shanghai Sixth Hospital, I witnessed dozens, even hundreds of difficult appendectomy cases.¡±


    ¡°Routine appendectomy is suitable for cases where the appendix mesentery is relatively easy to separate and the inflammation at the base of the appendix is mild. But what do you do when there¡¯s abnormal swelling at the base, necrosis, perforation, or severe adhesions of the appendix, making it impossible to free?¡±


    Several consecutive questions baffled Chen Cang.


    Because he had never even considered these issues.


    Chen Bingsheng sighed: ¡°There are so many problems in clinical practice; you can¡¯t let your guard down. What¡¯s the difference between us surgeons and those who slaughter pigs? The goal of pig slaughterers is just to kill the pig¡ªif one stab doesn¡¯t do it, they¡¯ll stab again. But we¡¯re different; we¡¯re here to save lives.¡±


    ¡°Why do you think medical training requires five years of undergraduate study, three years of postgraduate, and still not be enough, with residency needed after graduation? It¡¯s because you have no idea how patients are going to fall ill!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback¡­


    Choose how to fall ill???


    Chen Bingsheng sighed: ¡°This disease, like people, comes in all shapes and sizes. It doesn¡¯t follow the script of your textbooks, saying how appendicitis should be like this or that. Any disease can change based on the individual differences of the patient.¡±


    ¡°One person might get over a cold without any issue, while another might recover even without medication. One person, one constitution¡ªsimilarly, one disease, one constitution.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you all this not for any reason other than to encourage you to settle down, to seriously study the science, to learn the skills thoroughly. Not to mention anything else, if you can actually get good at performing appendectomies this year, I will be very grateful!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Boss, how would you define having done a good job with an appendectomy? I see that your and Director Li¡¯s appendectomies are quite similar. In fact, Director Li isn¡¯t even as fast as you.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng couldn¡¯t help but smile, looking at Chen Cang: ¡°What do you think is the difference between an average doctor and a famous doctor?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Skill level? Technique? Detail? Or perhaps¡­¡±


    Chen Bingsheng interrupted: ¡°Do you know what a car¡¯s airbag is for?¡±


    Chen Cang had an epiphany!


    Chen Bingsheng: ¡°An airbag doesn¡¯t make the car look more beautiful, nor does it make it faster. However, only when you encounter a problem does the airbag show its true worth.¡±


    ¡°Masters and ordinary people don¡¯t seem very different in normal times; there might be some differences in detail, but you wouldn¡¯t notice. However, when you find yourself in a special situation, the gap between you and a master will become glaringly obvious. Director Li is that kind of person!¡±


    ¡°This is to tell you, whenever you have time, think more, ponder more, read more. A surgical doctor is first a general physician and then a surgeon. Got it? You¡¯ve just started with surgeries, you haven¡¯t even mastered an appendectomy. These days, conventional appendectomies are rare, and laparoscopic surgeries are the norm. You need to step up the pace and catch up.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, smiling: ¡°Alright, boss!¡±


    In the past two years, Chen Cang mainly dealt with some basic clinical operations such as suturing, debriding, and resuscitating, but he had rarely touched surgery itself.


    Now Chen Bingsheng was essentially opening this big door for Chen Cang completely.

    Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Auspicious Day, Scheduling the Surgery


    Translator: 549690339


    An Yanjun was an extremely rigorous person and also someone who pursued perfection.


    Every day, he would go to work dressed impeccably in a shirt, trousers, crocodile skin belt, and his shoes always seemed to be polished to a shine.


    While Chen Cang and Chen Bingsheng were chatting, An Yanjun walked over.


    He said to Chen Cang, ¡°The surgery this morning is a laparoscopic appendectomy, you¡­you should still come and watch, lend a hand.¡±


    Chen Cang was slightly taken aback, then nodded, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll trouble Director An.¡±


    An Yanjun nodded with a light smile, ¡°This is the case file, just so you have an understanding of the patient¡¯s condition.¡±


    After speaking, he handed over the clipboard with the case file.


    Chen Cang nodded and took it.


    As he flipped through the case file, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but comment; otherwise, why would Director An be the hospital¡¯s model worker? Just the organization of this case file alone was already beyond comparison for many others.


    The test report was neatly torn and placed on adhesive paper, and even an excess corner was neatly trimmed, pleasing to the eye.


    An Yanjun had a habit of being extremely strict about the arrangement of test reports; they had to be ordered in the sequence of blood, urine, routine, liver and kidney functions¡­ and so on.


    Moreover, he wouldn¡¯t allow any misalignment. He was a meticulous and perfectionist man, also regarded as the middle-aged heartthrob in the department.


    An Yanjun carried an aura of a scholar¡ªwith his fair and clean look, his faint stubble, and gold-rimmed glasses complementing each other well, along with his meticulously styled hair. Dressed in a suit, he was quite dashing.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, and said to Chen Bingsheng, ¡°Boss, look, what is attitude? What is rigor? Ah¡­ it¡¯s really eye-opening how one doesn¡¯t know the extent until compared!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng nodded, ¡°Yeah, we should also organize our case files like this in the future. That¡­ Xiao Chen, you better take a good picture, and if I see that our case files are not organized tomorrow, don¡¯t plan on leaving work early, make sure to tidy them up well.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Me?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng said, ¡°You expect me, a senior physician, to organize case files? Shall I also write the case files for you while I¡¯m at it?¡±


    Chen Cang earnestly nodded, ¡°Boss, I think that¡¯s possible!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng gave a faint smile, ¡°Come on, there¡¯s a hernia repair surgery today, you do it, I¡¯ll write the case file!¡±


    Chen Cang responded, ¡°Comrade Chen Bingsheng, you¡¯ve insulted me once again!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng uttered, ¡°Oh? Have I? My apologies then.¡±


    After saying that, Chen Bingsheng dropped the line, ¡°Ward rounds!¡±


    Chen Cang, feeling helpless, sighed. When living under someone else¡¯s roof, one must bow their head. What else could he do when he was short on skills?


    Carrying seven or eight case files in his arms, he trudged into the patient wards.


    Chen Bingsheng had a knack for interpersonal relationships. He had gotten along with patients harmoniously for many years, which was something Chen Cang truly admired.


    Compared to An Yanjun, Chen Bingsheng¡¯s clipboards were never as neat and orderly; on the contrary, they were sometimes rather messy, but Chen Bingsheng barely needed the case files. In his words, ¡°Case files? They¡¯re just a reference, a document for the patient to take with them when they¡¯re discharged. A patient¡¯s condition should always be kept in the doctor¡¯s mind.¡±


    Indeed, Old Chen had managed to do just that!


    He never needed the case file during ward rounds because he could remember every abnormal indicator on a patient like the back of his hand, whereas Chen Cang held onto the case file purely for¡­ well, showing patients.


    Oh, right, there was another benefit: it was good exercise!


    After all, the metal clipboard was quite heavy, and with over a dozen case files together, it indeed provided a decent workout.


    Chen Cang sighed, thinking of Old Chen¡¯s ¡°insult,¡± and felt like he was nothing more than a case file porter¡­ porter¡­ worker¡­


    Feeling cold inside¡­


    Feeling blocked¡­


    Feeling a heart attack¡­


    Upon entering the room, the female patient in bed twelve started clamoring, ¡°Doctor, I want to switch beds!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng was immediately stupefied, ¡°Switch beds? Isn¡¯t everything fine as it is? Why do you want to switch beds?¡±


    The female patient pulled Chen Bingsheng over with an air of mystery, and whispered, ¡°I checked the calendar yesterday, and it says that this month I¡¯m clashing with the Tiger Sha from the south, evil spirits are in the southeast, bringing mishaps, bloodshed, five departures, and eight disturbances! Moreover, my Wealth God and Happiness God are in the north!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve observed the layout of my ward, and I¡¯ve finally found the reason for my recent discomfort: I¡¯m currently positioned in the southeast! This place is clashing with me, not conducive to my recovery!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng was dumbfounded!


    Chen Cang, the little bootlicker, was also agape.


    This line of logic left me speechless.


    Chen Bingsheng chuckled, ¡°No, no, no, I¡¯m telling you that your Wealth God is in the southeast, and your Lucky God is in the east, no problem at all!¡±


    The woman lowered her voice, ¡°Dr. Chen knows this trade too? Come on, Dr. Chen, analyze it for me!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng laughed and shook his head, ¡°Because the doctor¡¯s office is to your east, and the pharmacy is to your south.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t entertain wild thoughts. The evil spirit is in your belly! It¡¯s bacteria, bacteria invade the gut wall, causing infection, which has led to acute appendicitis.¡±


    As Chen Bingsheng spoke, laughter suddenly erupted in the ward.


    The woman was embarrassed, her face turning a bit red!


    ¡°All, Doctor, don¡¯t disbelieve me, really, I¡¯m serious!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s more, I¡¯ve chosen an auspicious day for surgery! It¡¯s three days from now, three days from now, where nothing is taboo, suitable for seeking medical treatment, praying, cooking sheep, slaughtering cattle¡­ suitable for shedding blood! This surgery should be considered shedding blood, right? I think that day is just right for surgery!¡±


    As the woman spoke, a jovial atmosphere spread through the ward¡­


    At this moment, a wail disrupted the mood.


    ¡°Ouch ouch ouch¡­ Doctor, Doctor¡­ Come quick! I feel like the stitches in my stomach from yesterday¡¯s operation have burst from laughter!¡±


    Bed nine housed a fat man, set to be discharged tomorrow after his surgery.


    After this sentence was spoken, everyone around immediately covered their mouths with their hands; they wanted to laugh but didn¡¯t dare to, each face turning red with the effort of holding it in!


    It was like a ripened red apple!


    Chen Bingsheng examined him, ¡°It hasn¡¯t burst open, rest assured.¡±


    The man continued to groan, ¡°Why do I feel like there was a popping sound just now, and it hurts so much!?¡±


    Embarrassed, the patient in bed ten laughed, ¡°I just farted¡­¡±


    Instantly, the surrounding patients were even more uncomfortable. They wanted to laugh but didn¡¯t dare, fearing they would laugh their wounds open, but holding it in was very unpleasant!


    Chen Bingsheng looked sternly at everyone, ¡°Go ahead and laugh. It¡¯s just after surgery; be careful not to restrain yourself to the point of internal injury!¡±


    Once everyone heard this, they were startled and didn¡¯t dare speak anymore.


    The patient in bed ten said, ¡°Doctor, today¡­ I¡¯ve been farting non-stop, and it feels like there¡¯s a rumbling in my belly.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng smiled, ¡°Oh? Good, it seems you are recovering well. You can start eating today.¡±


    The patient was taken aback, his face full of curiosity, ¡°What do you mean??? I can eat because I farted?¡±


    ps: Yes, I reflect on my actions three times a day. Have I added an extra update, added an extra update? No extra update!


    Dear readers, I¡¯m so understanding; don¡¯t you think I deserve a reward?


    Thanks to the 2000 reward from Moonlight Sanctuary, the book has welcomed its first disciple, a cause for celebration.

 Chapter 34 - Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Astounding Skills

    Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Astounding Skills


    Translator: 549690339


    The patients around heard bed ten asking this question and also perked up their ears to listen.


    After all, they were curious to know if there was a direct connection between farting and eating.


    Chen Bingsheng was about to explain when he suddenly turned and glared at Chen Cang, who was holding back laughter until his face turned purple, ¡°Why can you eat after farting?¡±


    Chen Cang heard that and instantly became serious, ¡°Generally after surgery, whether a patient can fart is used by doctors to determine if the intestinal tract is unobstructed.¡±


    ¡®Patients usually do not fart within one to two days after abdominal surgery. This is because the anesthetic drugs used during surgery, the surgical operation, and the stimulation of cold air entering the abdominal cavity can cause the intestines to become temporarily anesthetized, hence the inability to fart. When intestinal motility begins to recover, the patient may feel mild abdominal distention and even hear gurgling noises from their stomach, indicating intestinal motility. This is a precursor to farting. At this time, it means that intestinal function has been restored, and the gastric decompression tube can be removed, and the patient can begin to eat.¡±


    Hearing Chen Gang¡¯s explanation, the onlookers gradually nodded in understanding.


    It¡¯s normal to follow Chen Bingsheng on his rounds.


    At one point, Chen Cang even wondered if Chen Bingsheng had intentionally practiced his suturing skills this way!


    After suturing up a patient, he would laugh and tear it open¡­ then suture it again¡­ and tear it open again¡­


    Before leaving, the nun in bed eight couldn¡¯t help but keep asking Chen Bingsheng, ¡°Doctor¡­ when can I have the surgery? I feel like maybe tomorrow¡­¡±


    Chen Bingsheng chuckled, ¡°I don¡¯t care about what you think, I care about what I think¡­¡±


    As the woman continued to speak, Old Chen indifferently said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to discuss this question. Listen to me, just listen to me.¡±


    After saying that, Chen Bingsheng left, leaving a room full of people who couldn¡¯t help but laugh, sometimes tears mixed with laughter, the laughter making their wounds hurt¡­


    Even the nun in bed eight was amused.


    Everyone uses smartphones, so naturally they understand the meme Old Chen was playing on, and coupled with Old Chen¡¯s ability to communicate effectively, everyone really likes this Dr. Chen.


    No airs about him, very humorous, easy to get along with, but also very principled, seems to consider the patients in everything he does.


    After finishing the rounds, they followed Old Chen into surgery. Several days had passed since Chen Gang¡¯s appendectomy last week, and he hadn¡¯t had any surgeries since then.


    However, since receiving Old Chen¡¯s insights on appendectomy, Chen Gang¡¯s skill level in appendectomy had jumped straight to intermediate.


    This meant that Chen Cang was now capable of independently handling standard appendectomies.


    There¡¯s quite a difference between the beginner and intermediate levels. Although Chen Cang was able complete his first surgery, it was very awkward, resembling a driving school student who had just passed the test, acquired a license, and was still on a probationary period, needing the company of an experienced driver for a while.


    And the intermediate level is already that of a skilled driver, able to handle various road conditions.


    So, now Chen Cang had completely lost his initial greenness!


    Even the aura he brought into the operating room was different, as if carrying a breeze?


    Liu Jian chuckled, ¡°Who¡¯s operating today?¡±


    Chen Cangcoughed, ¡°Me.¡±


    Liu Jian nodded, ¡°Do well, I¡¯ll administer anesthesia in a bit. By the way, Xiaochen, I think you could use your phone to record the specific process, so you can look back at where you might need improvement. I remember when I was getting advanced training in Beijing, that¡¯s how the director there taught the students.¡±


    Liu Jian¡¯s words instantly lit up Old Chen as well.


    That was an excellent idea!


    Qin Lele also nodded in agreement, ¡°I¡¯ll go get you an intern.¡±


    The surgery was about to begin, all departments were ready, and the operation started.


    It was still the standard procedure of marking, incising, and cutting. What seemed like a simple start, but as Chen Cang began, Old Chen suddenly frowned!


    Because this incision seemed all too familiar!


    Few people would hold the scalpel this way and slide down, as it appeared to be a unique thought of Old Chen¡¯s.


    Sliding down like this effectively avoids damaging the nerves, a little trick Old Chen had puzzled out in recent years.


    Could it be that Chen Cang?


    Had already grasped this point?


    That seemed unlikely.


    While surgical operations might look simple, every detail is meticulous, just as Old Chen mentioned: if your technique is not up to par, you wouldn¡¯t even understand what you¡¯re looking at.


    With a glide of the pen and a pinch of the scalpel, this was an exclusive experience of Old Chen.


    It wasn¡¯t that Old Chen was keeping secrets from Chen Cang.


    Rather, it was because Chen Cang simply hadn¡¯t reached that level yet, and passing this knowledge to him now would be of no use, but could instead hinder his growth.


    Perhaps Chen Cang had observed his own surgeries too many times, leading to habitual actions?


    Old Chen attributed Chen Gang¡¯s initial set of actions to the habits formed by often following his own surgeries.


    After all, Chen Cang had only independently performed two surgeries, just two appendectomies, he was still a newcomer!


    He himself had performed appendectomies not less than a thousand times, could they be the same?


    However, when Chen Cang continued to the next step, Old Chen finally had to furrow his brows!


    Because Chen Gang¡¯s operation was too proficient!


    Where did this resemble a young doctor who had just led on two appendectomy surgeries?


    Proficiently cutting, skillfully using electrocautery, with perfect control of the coagulation; then came the irrigation and the beginning of the abdominal exploration¡­


    Effortlessly and without wasting much time, he found the appendix.


    Good!


    Here comes the critical point.


    Mesentery separation!


    This is the core part of the appendectomy and it severely tests the surgeon¡¯s skill level.


    The hands of a surgeon are a combination of technique and art.


    Seeing Chen Cang calmly and confidently separating, ligating, fixing¡­ Chen Bingsheng¡¯s frown deepens.


    At this moment, Chen Cang had no mood to pay attention to Old Chen, after all, the man didn¡¯t even cover for him; he had to rely on himself.


    As the instrument nurse, Qin Lele continuously delivered new instruments into Chen Gang¡¯s hands.


    Very proficiently!


    To be honest, Qin Lele had seen more appendectomy procedures than even Chen Cang had.


    In just a few minutes, without needing reminders, Qin Lele knew exactly which instrument the doctor needed.


    Originally, she thought she might need to give Chen Cang a reminder, but¡­


    Qin Lele didn¡¯t expect Chen Cang to complete the surgery so smoothly and swiftly!


    The time¡­


    It was almost as short as that taken by Old Chen!


    Compared to the last surgery, it was cut by half!


    Isn¡¯t this frightening?


    Chen Cang, what have you been doing these past two days?


    Butchering pigs???


    Chen Cang proficiently opened the abdomen, explored, sought the appendix by its color, and began the surgery.


    This appendix monster was only level eight, not challenging at all; he finished the surgery easily and skillfully.


    [Ding! Appendectomy monster slain, loot: Experience +100, RMB +100, Appendectomy Experience +100.]


    Not bad, routine operation!


    At this moment, seeing Chen Bingsheng with a worried frown, Chen Cang suddenly felt a pang in his heart¡­


    This expression from Old Chen meant trouble.


    Could it be¡­


    Had he left something inside the patient¡¯s abdomen?


    ps:¡­

    Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Almost There


    Translator: 549690339 |


    With this thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel a sudden jolt in his heart!


    He carefully looked up and asked, ¡°Boss? Where did I go wrong?¡±


    Old Chen frowned deeply, staring at Chen Cang as if pondering some profound issue.


    This only made Chen Cang even more uneasy!


    Did I forget a gauze? Or did I accidentally remove an extra part?


    None of that!


    Yet, being looked at with such a¡­ complex expression by Chen Bingsheng was a first for Chen Cang.


    After the patient was sent out of the operating room, Qin Lele suddenly exclaimed in amazement, ¡°Impressive, Little Chen, at this rate, you¡¯ll be able to replace Old Chen soon!¡±


    Chen Cang had an epiphany!


    That¡¯s it!


    Old Chen felt threatened by me.


    It must be so.


    The alpha lion felt his position in the lioness¡¯s heart was no longer stable, sensing the threat from the new generation!


    It had to be because I was growing too quickly.


    Old Chen felt his halo as the prince of emergency appendectomies in the ER was about to shatter. It had to be so.


    Realizing this, Chen Cang still considerately patted Old Chen¡¯s biceps brachii, saying meaningfully, ¡°Old Chen, the new waves of the Yangtze River push forward the old waves; each new generation excels the last. It¡¯s natural, so don¡¯t take it to heart!¡±


    ¡°Actually, you¡¯re pretty good at appendectomies, the title of ER¡¯s appendectomy prince is still yours, I don¡¯t want it, so don¡¯t be sad. Now go wash your hands, we¡¯ve got another surgery soon.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Cang sighed with regret, seemingly feeling sorry for the state of ¡®Lian Po as an old general¡¯.


    Chen Bingsheng was also stunned!


    Even Qin Lele couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Liu Jian was even more dumbfounded when he came out.


    Three seconds later, the entire operating room burst into uncontrollable laughter.


    If it weren¡¯t for the good sound insulation in the operating room, the woman struggling with a difficult labor in the next room might not have been enduring so much agony; perhaps the baby inside would have slipped out smoothly¡­


    Chen Bingsheng looked thoughtfully at Chen Cang and finally spoke, ¡°If the patient¡¯s belly had your thick skin, I guarantee the scalpel would definitely not have been enough.¡±


    Qin Lele laughed and said, ¡°Oh my, Dr. Chen, Little Chen is doing well, you should encourage him more often.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng replied cheerfully, ¡°Encourage this little rascal? He might just become too cocky and have his tail wagging up to the sky, I need to keep him in check!¡±


    After laughing, Chen Bingsheng nodded, ¡°Really not bad, you¡¯ve already started to grasp many of the details, which is quite rare. But in some areas, you should have thought everything through, like just now with that patient, during the appendectomy, the technique of ligating the blood vessels was still¡­ II


    ¡°But it was okay, after all, you¡¯ve only done three surgeries.¡±


    Upon saying this, Chen Bingsheng himself felt like he was talking in his sleep!


    Having such skill after only three surgeries?


    He himself hadn¡¯t reached Chen Gang¡¯s level even after thirty surgeries.


    Chen Cang got back to the matter at hand, humbly accepting Old Chen¡¯s advice. After all, Old Chen made some very pertinent and practical suggestions, which he might not have understood before, but now he grasped them even better.


    ¡°Also, when cutting the appendix, you need to improve your handling and pressure of the scalpel. Go back and watch your videos, find the issues for yourself.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, went to wash his hands, and kept reflecting on Old Chen¡¯s guidance in his head.


    Indeed, if he paid attention to the angle while cutting the appendix¡­


    Perhaps he really could change some details.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Big Brother, how good is my level for my age?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°You¡¯re probably still a bit below the old hands but stronger than the newcomers. However, you¡¯ve just started; your talent is indeed good. To be able to perform three surgeries like this, I really haven¡¯t seen much.¡±


    ¡°But conditions differ, growth differs. Now, in the big hospitals outside, not to mention the original place, just over at Provincial People¡¯s, resident doctors have performed hundreds of appendectomy surgeries. In the big hospitals in the capital, let alone senior attending physicians like me, even residents with a few years of experience disdain to do appendectomies; it¡¯s all done by newcomers.¡±


    ¡°Surgery is ultimately about skill, and while talent is very important, those who perform surgeries every day, plus see a wide variety, naturally are much higher in level. If you haven¡¯t done hundreds, if not a thousand appendectomies, you¡¯d be embarrassed to say you work in general surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned¡­


    Alright.


    You guys are ruthless.


    This is the difference between big and small hospitals; small hospitals don¡¯t get patients, and surgeries can¡¯t get off the ground, the hospital director would be eager to perform an appendectomy himself.


    And in the big hospitals, resident doctors can¡¯t be bothered to do appendectomies.


    For the second surgery, Chen Cang continued to lead with the scalpel, while Chen Bingsheng no longer helped and just stood by, watching Chen Cang, looking for any shortcomings.


    Frankly speaking, Old Chen was very glad to have found such a talent.


    Before this, he had never let Chen Cang lead the surgery because he was not reassured, but now it seemed he had worried unnecessarily.


    Chen Gang¡¯s surgical talent was too strong.


    Well, it was only a little stronger than his own!


    He had an appendectomy talent of 3.0; at most, Chen Cang was 30!


    It should be a slight difference.


    This was the fourth surgery, and Chen Bingsheng found Chen Cang improving with every one.


    It was indeed commendable.


    Especially his mental maturity and technique, both of which were very important for a surgeon.


    But it wasn¡¯t too late now. Once he officially joined the staff, they would find an opportunity to send him out for further study.


    Otherwise, staying in a small hospital for too long, one¡¯s thinking could easily become rigid.


    After all, Chen Cang was different from Qin Yue and Wang Qian; they had seen the world in big hospitals, with a much higher horizon, while the most impressive person Chen Cang had likely seen was himself. It was fine to improve skills gradually, but one¡¯s vision should be higher.¡±


    Watching great surgeons perform can be very inspiring.


    As Chen Bingsheng reflected, Chen Gang¡¯s surgery proceeded smoothly and methodically.


    Parents, in their love for their child, always plan for the long term.


    Chen Cang was not Chen Bingsheng¡¯s child, but he was very fond of this honest yet slightly cheeky young doctor, who had followed him for over two years, never once complaining no matter how hard or tiring it was.


    Chen Bingsheng himself had come from the countryside and knew deeply how hard it was for someone to struggle on their own.


    To achieve growth, one must make sacrifices.


    Life would not let you have it all your way.


    After the surgery was over, Chen Bingsheng said to Chen Cang, ¡°After a while, you follow Director An to observe laparoscopic surgery; I¡¯m leaving first.¡±


    Picking up his phone outside the operating room, he saw a missed call. Out of habit, he opened WeChat, where the pinned profile picture was ¡°Wife.¡±


    Message: ¡°I won¡¯t be coming home tonight; there¡¯s a meeting. When you get off work, take the kids to the essay tutoring class.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng smiled, turned off the message, and didn¡¯t reply.


    This home!


    It hardly feels like a home anymore.


    To be continued; another chapter follows.

 Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Blade of the Electro-Knife

    Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Blade of the Electro-Knife


    Translator: 549690339 ,


    [Newbie in the Operating Room: Appendectomy+1, currently at a total of 5. Keep up the good work and achieve a ten-surgery streak.]


    Chen Cang muttered to himself, What kind of reward will there be for a ten- surgery streak?


    But it was also close, as the recent influx of patients all needed surgery for appendicitis. With some effort, he estimated he could complete the ten-surgery streak challenge this week.


    He hadn¡¯t waited long in the operating room when An Yanjun came down with Wang Qian.


    ¡°Chen, have you used a laparoscope before?¡± An Yanjun asked.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm, I can use it a bit.¡±


    An Yanjun nodded, ¡°Okay, then, you¡¯ll assist with the laparoscope later, and


    Wang Qian will perform the surgery.¡±


    After An Yanjun had walked a good distance away.


    Wang Qian stealthily approached from behind Chen Cang, sneakily patted his butt, and let out a strange laugh, ¡°Cang Er, did you miss me?¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but distance himself!


    ¡°Brother Qian, you¡¯re a married man. If you pinch my butt again, I¡¯ll accuse you of sexual harassment.¡±


    Chen Cang sighed and, looking up at the imposing Wang Qian, dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.


    This guy¡¯s weight matched his height, standing at 180 cm with a weight of 180 pounds, not fat but very sturdy.


    Having been on a honeymoon, he had clearly slimmed down a bit, it seemed he hadn¡¯t taken it easy.


    Chen Cang was a generous person, easy to talk to; in the emergency department, being ¡°easy to talk to¡± meant easy to switch shifts with, almost always saying yes to requests, occasionally covering shifts or working overtime for them. Thus, he was easy to get along with. Wang Qian was a typical surgeon, big and burly, outgoing; he was decent in every aspect except that he was a bit stingy, and he couldn¡¯t keep his hands to himself around Chen Cang.


    There always seemed to be a few old rascals in life, harassing men left and right, oozing charm.


    Facing someone weighing 180 pounds, Chen Cang decided not to take offense.


    Wang Qian sighed and said eerily, ¡°Cang Er, you¡¯ve changed.¡±


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°Heh, beat it!¡±


    Wang Qian let out an awkward laugh, ¡°I actually brought you a gift, but it¡¯s gone now, yeah, successfully gone!¡±


    Chen Cang scoffed, ¡°The Dove chocolate you brought back from the US last time was bought from the supermarket downstairs; I saw the receipt in the box, and I secretly threw it away. I guess this time¡¯s Hawaiian candy is probably about the same.¡±


    Wang Qian:¡­


    Curious, Chen Cang poked Wang Qian.


    [Wang Qian: A wild exterior cannot contain a heart full of flamboyance, Favorability: 25.]


    Well, it seems the butt pinching wasn¡¯t in vain, the favorability is quite good. Suddenly, Chen Cang thought of Xu Rou, a wild woman who instilled fear in others; perhaps these two were evenly matched.


    Being a doctor seemed like a magical profession, no matter how lazy or ridiculous you normally were, the moment you stood in front of a patient, it was as if you had donned a ¡°solemn and serious¡± buff!


    Wang Qian stood before the patient, ready to begin the surgery.


    The difference between a laparoscopic appendectomy and a regular appendectomy was quite significant.


    If a regular appendectomy was like digging a canal, then¡­ a laparoscopic appendectomy was more like drilling a well.


    Of course, it all depended on the surgeon¡¯s preference. Some preferred to drill one well; others liked two, and most for an appendectomy preferred three.


    So, there are many advantages!


    The incisions are just a few small holes, which leaves minimal scarring and satisfies aesthetic requirements.


    Also, because the focal area is small, the rate of infection at the incision site is extremely low. During the surgery, the area of appendicitis inflammation doesn¡¯t come into contact with the abdominal wall, and the appendix is removed through the cannula, which significantly reduces the risk of infection at the surgical site.


    The most important advantage is its ¡°cost-effectiveness¡±!


    And by cost-effective, I don¡¯t mean cheaper, but more convenient for making money.


    For example, the patient lying on the bed right now is a beautiful urban beauty. She could resume activities and diet on the same day after the surgery, requiring a very short hospital stay. In contrast, the traditional surgery would need 1-2 weeks to change dressings, and in severe cases, up to a month, which is well known to all.


    The patients who had ¡°wells drilled¡± could leave the hospital sooner to work and earn money¡ªnow isn¡¯t that ¡°cost-effective¡±?


    In fact, it mainly meets the needs of young people nowadays.


    Wang Qian began to drill!


    No, to make the incision!


    About 10 mm above the umbilicus, an insufflation needle is inserted to begin the infusion of carbon dioxide gas. Yep, that¡¯s right, it¡¯s inflating!


    Before an appendectomy, you first need to create an artificial pneumoperitoneum, also known as the medical version of laparoscopic surgery.


    Suddenly, a song pops into Chen Gang¡¯s mind:


    The ¡°Calorie¡± of the operating room!


    The first thing every day in surgery is to pump some air into the patient.


    Apologies must be said with every extra millimeter I trim!


    Mirror, mirror, look over here, where is the appendix and cecum?


    Strive, you must strive, I must find the appendiceal mesentery!


    (Original!!)


    All¡­ Chen Cang sighs.


    I feel like I¡¯m definitely an artist delayed by medicine!


    The surgery continues; punching holes and inflating both need to go on.


    After the gas is sufficiently infused, Wang Qian inserts the trocar and begins to navigate the abdominal cavity with the laparoscope: right upper, left upper, left lower, pelvis, right lower¡­ This replaces the great merit of exploratory laparotomy.


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly finds that his external plugin is also very handy right now!


    Everywhere the laparoscope goes, names appear!


    [Greater omentum]¡­ [Descending colon]¡­ [Appendix]¡­


    Besides, this isn¡¯t even the most crucial point because as long as you are very familiar with human anatomy, this part is still quite easy to achieve.


    As a surgeon,


    You might not understand a woman¡¯s heart,


    But you must understand a woman¡¯s viscera!


    There, rhymed again.


    The most crucial thing is, Chen Cang finds that through the laparoscope, he could also get detailed information about these organs.


    For example [Descending colon: green, this vibrant stretch of the descending colon.]


    [Inflammatory fluid: purulent secretion resulting from appendicitis, recommendation: clean up.]


    [Appendix: red, Ivin, this is a long-standing chronic appendicitis with purulent secretion, recommendation: excise and clean up.]


    All under the laparoscope, the field of view is accompanied by names.


    Chen Cang is somewhat amazed and filled with admiration.


    My plugin works so well, doesn¡¯t it?


    From now on, laparoscopy is basically stress-free for me, right?


    As long as I slowly get used to the procedural flow of laparoscopic operations, everything will be simple, right?


    Hey!


    When heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a man, it always first gives him a plugin to level up.


    Chen Cang feels he should study diligently and comprehend the essence of laparoscopy soon.


    After all, laparoscopic surgery is the mainstream now.


    What if, on the day of the exam, I have to perform a laparoscopic surgery and don¡¯t know how, wouldn¡¯t that be embarrassing?


    So he holds his breath and observes with concentration.


    In laparoscopic surgery, they don¡¯t use a scalpel, but a bipolar cautery instead, which is used to grasp and cut the mesentery close to the appendix in full layer. Remember, this cautery is not a static blade nor a lightning dagger; it doesn¡¯t increase attack speed or add critical hit, and it doesn¡¯t have a movement speed bonus or a unique passive.

 Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Its so hard for me!

    Chapter 37: Chapter 37: It¡¯s so hard for me!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    After finishing the puncture, Wang Qian said to Chen Cang, ¡°Cang Er, hold the Mirror for me.¡±


    Surgery really is a physically demanding job.


    Stooping down and watching the image transmitted by the laparoscope, while still operating with your hands, is indeed quite strenuous.


    Moreover, the most challenging part isn¡¯t that, but the fact that you have to operate the instruments in your hands while watching the screen.


    It¡¯s a bit like playing a video game.


    The biggest difference from a game is that you don¡¯t have the opportunity to fail.


    If you lose in a game, you can start over; if a person dies, they can never come back.


    Therefore, this requires a keen sense of space and operational awareness. Performing surgery under a laparoscope, or any endoscopic surgery for that matter, is an exercise in spatial perception.


    Nowadays, to be a qualified and exceptional surgeon, you need to possess a variety of skills.


    Watching Wang Qian¡¯s cautious demeanor, Chen Cang also began to hold his breath and concentrate, not daring to interrupt.


    This indeed demands a heightened sense of spatial awareness, as after all, you don¡¯t open the abdomen and many procedures rely on the images on the screen.


    The appendix was obviously inflamed with pus and swollen, about 5 to 6 centimeters long, with numerous adhesions around it, and a lot of purulent secretion could be seen in the middle.


    Next was to separate the adhesive bands, get close to the appendix, puncture through the mesoappendix with curved forceps, and with that hole, secure the mesoappendix and appendicular blood vessels with titanium clips.


    The surgery progressed methodically, and Chen Cang was a proud little assistant holding the Mirror.


    But Chen Cang also noticed some differences.


    While laparoscopes are useful and convenient, meeting modern needs, they still fall short in many aspects, such as handling details, compared to open surgery.


    An opening for open surgery wouldn¡¯t be very large either¡ªsix to seven centimeters is enough¡ªbut the handling of details is more exacting and tests the doctor¡¯s level.


    Plainly speaking, modem technology has turned many surgeons into operators of instruments.


    With the help of these instruments, they can quickly reach a fairly competent level.


    However, to truly strive for perfection, one must rely on the combination of skill and technology.


    It¡¯s like carving.


    A modern template carving machine can quickly carve out a picture.


    But a master engraver needs some time to carve out a picture.


    Upon comparison, the differences are that a layman sees beauty, while a connoisseur appreciates the taste.


    After the surgery ended, Chen Cang suddenly heard a sound.


    (Ding! Operating Room Novice Title Feature: 1% chance to trigger upon learning, congratulations, you have obtained An Yanjun¡¯s skill: Endoscopic Spatial Perception.]


    Chen Cang was stunned.


    [Endoscopic Spatial Perception: Mid-level passive skill, can be upgraded.]


    [Endoscopic Spatial Perception: Skill description: In surgery, you will encounter a variety of operations that require the use of instruments. Wearing this skill can give a certain degree of spatial perception, making operations more convenient. Applicable to: laparoscopy, microscopy, etc¡­]


    Chen Gang¡¯s eyes lit up!


    He had found a treasure.


    [Endoscopic Spatial Perception]


    This skill was incredible¡ªit was passive and applicable to a variety of operations.


    One should know that there are so many types of scopes now.


    Gastroscope, colonoscope, laryngoscope.


    Laparoscope, endoscope, microscope.


    There are too many of them.


    And moreover, with the constant development of technology and deep reforms in artificial intelligence, doctors are increasingly talcing on the role of RPG characters, operating instruments through scopes, so it¡¯s easy to see what a skill like Endoscopic Spatial Perception is!


    Upgrading, it must be upgraded to the maximum level!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang looked at An Yanjun with a burning gaze.


    This refined and clean-looking Director An, what other treasures did he hold in his belly?


    An Yanjun and Old Chen were obviously from different worlds.


    If it were Chen Cang staring at Old Chen.


    Old Chen, when faced with such a situation, would normally handle it by saying, ¡°What¡¯s the problem? Looking for a beating?¡±


    But Director An was much more refined, he cleared his throat, turned his head around, not really sure where to look, obviously uncomfortable all over, and simply turned and walked away.


    Chen Cang sighed.


    [An Yanjun¡¯s favorability -1]


    Chen Cang stunned, ¡°Director An, you must have misunderstood me.¡± Feeling exhausted.


    However¡­ Acquiring a passive skill, Chen Cang felt secretly delighted, changed his clothes, and left.


    As for that 1 point of favorability, there was plenty of time, so he was not in a rush.


    Chen Cang left.


    Leaving An Yanjun and Wang Qian looking at each other, bewildered.


    Coming out of the operating room, while they were washing their hands, An Yanjun pondered for a long time and still couldn¡¯t hold back, he said to Wang Qian, ¡°Xiao Wang, let me ask you something.¡±


    Wang Qian nodded, thinking the teacher had some guidance about the surgery they just performed, and immediately concentrated, ¡°Sure, An Teacher, go ahead.¡±


    An Yanjun took a deep breath, ¡°Did that¡­¡±


    After hesitating for a moment, he curiously asked, ¡°Are you familiar with this young Chen? Doesn¡¯t he have a partner?¡±


    Wang Qian nodded, ¡°Um, it seems not! For over two years, I haven¡¯t seen him that close to any young girls.¡±


    An Yanjun¡¯s heart skipped a beat, this is bad!


    Just as he suspected!


    An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°He wouldn¡¯t¡­ he doesn¡¯t like girls, does he?!¡±


    As soon as these words came out!


    Wang Qian was at a loss¡­


    His brain froze¡­


    What the heck?


    No way, right?


    Wang Qian turned his head, his brows furrowed into a ¡®triple furrow¡¯, his eyes inquiring as he looked at An Yanjun, full of question marks: ???


    An Yanjun then turned around, Iris brow furrowed tightly, his face revealing a ¡®Sichuan¡¯ character between his brows, his eyes resolute as he looked at Wang Qian, his eyes full of exclamation marks:!!!


    Suddenly, understanding dawned on them!


    For a moment, the outside of the operating room fell into a quiet¡­


    Only the sound of the water tap continuously running in the sink tried to cover the awkwardness of the moment, while the brains of the two surgeons were filled with: ¡­%£¤ £¤%&


    An Yanjun sighed, turned around, and left.


    While Wang Qian looked at his hands and muttered to himself, ¡°Sinful!¡±


    Considering a certain possibility about Chen Gang¡¯s existence, Wang Qian thought of what he did this morning¡­ and felt a wave of nausea come over him.


    He picked up a brush and started scrubbing his hands!


    As he scrubbed, he reflected, ¡°Wife, my hands have sinned, but it was all unintentional!¡±


    Qin Lele had just come out of the operating room and saw Wang Qian vigorously washing his hands, puzzled she asked, ¡°Qian brother? What¡­ what happened? Did your ¡®little wife¡¯ upset you?¡±


    Wang Qian sighed and, looking at his red, scrubbed hands, said with a mixture of sadness and frustration, ¡°Lele, I have a question for you: what would you feel if you thought you were teasing someone for two years, only to find out that in fact, it was you who had been taken advantage of for two years?¡±


    Qin Lele frowned and thought seriously, blurting out a classic line, ¡°Being taken advantage of without payment, and still thinking you scored a bargain!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Qian felt as if struck by lightning!


    It was like a bolt from the blue.


    He felt his mind go blank!


    Tears spilled in the operating room as he ran off.


    My youth, my innocence.


    Standing outside the operating room, Wang Qian almost cried, feeling wronged like a two hundred-pound iron fool.

 Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Chapter 38: We Look for Doctor Chen

    Chapter 38: Chapter 38: We Look for Doctor Chen


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Cang had just walked out of the operating room and entered the elevator when he suddenly heard two notification tones.


    [Ding! AnYanjun¡¯s goodwill -1!]


    [Ding! Wang Qian¡¯s goodwill -1!]


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!


    What the hell?


    What¡¯s going on?


    What are these teacher-student duo thinking about me?


    Could it be¡­ jealousy?


    Chen Cang thought about this possibility¡­


    For a moment, his mind automatically filled in a story about fighting over my ownership¡­ resentments, teacher-student falling out¡­ and then realizing that all this puppy love was just a hindrance to medical progress, eventually turning love into hate, but in the end, the teacher and student reconciled, transforming their animosity to friendship.


    Ah¡­


    This bit of text could probably be stretched into tens of thousands of words; there goes my outline, just like that.


    I¡¯m truly a talent, of the top-notch variety.


    Humming a tune, Chen Cang stepped out of the elevator.


    Meanwhile, the emergency department lobby was in complete chaos.


    A group of people sat on the floor in the emergency lobby, yes, right there on the floor, not causing trouble, simply sitting there, on the ground, without a care for the chill on their behinds.


    These burly men were in their thirties or forties, in the prime of their life, simply sitting there shirtless, their tattoos actually rather attractive, though who knows what they were of.


    If this group were dressed in prison garb, they would absolutely look like they were filming a TV show: Prison Break, considering their less-than-honest


    looks.


    As the head nurse, Tian Xianglan naturally couldn¡¯t let them drag their pants


    on the ground, right?


    Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t the janitors¡¯ wages be wasted?


    Of course, the main reason was that it would look bad, since this was a hospital after all, and doctor-patient relations are so sensitive these days, it could easily become news or a hot topic.


    Thinking this, Tian Xianglan hurriedly stood up and went outside: ¡°Hello there, can I help you with anything? And sitting on the floor must be tiring, right? We have chairs here. Why don¡¯t you sit on the chairs for a while? The floor is cold.¡± The man leading the group had a tiger tattoo covering half of his head, and a large jade Guan Gong on his chest. He asked, ¡°We won¡¯t get up until we see


    Doctor Chen!¡±


    Tian Xianglan said helplessly, ¡°Doctor Chen is in surgery, really!¡±


    The man shook his head: ¡°We don¡¯t believe it. You doctors always use surgery


    as an excuse!¡±


    Tian Xianglan was startled. You know about that? Quite the clever one!


    ¡°Doctor Chen really went to surgery. What does it look like, you sitting on the


    floor like this?¡±


    The man didn¡¯t speak, but a bespectacled man behind him looked up, ¡°We¡¯re just sitting on the ground for a while. It shouldn¡¯t violate the hospital¡¯s rules, right? It won¡¯t affect public morality, right? And certainly not breaking any laws, right?¡±


    Tian Xianglan was at a loss for words: ¡°It¡¯s not proper!


    Zhao Huqiu looked up: ¡°When Doctor Chen comes, we¡¯ll get up! If he doesn¡¯t come today, we¡¯ll sit here all day. Guys, what do you want to eat? Should 1 order takeout? How about hotpot?¡±


    Tian Xianglan felt like a flock of alpacarrots (Senior Handbook, alpacarrot: a mammal, a hybrid of an alpaca and a crow, an herbivore with the appearance of an alpaca but with crow¡¯s wings and beak, of conflicted nature, likes to disgust people¡­ I¡¯m making this up, don¡¯t look it up, you won¡¯t find anything.) flew over her head.


    Tian Xianglan asked, ¡°What do you need Doctor Chen for?¡±


    Zhao Huqiu patted his chest wound: ¡°What do you think?


    The minions behind him mimicked their boss, patting their chests: ¡°What do


    you think?¡±


    Tian Xianglan couldn¡¯t help but reach for her phone, prepared to call the police.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t seem like this kind of person, did he?


    How did he end up hitting so many people?


    Was Chen Cang really this fierce?


    At that thought, Tian Xianglan was about to pick up the phone to call 110¡­


    Zhao Huqiu continued, ¡°Of course, for stitches. Doctor Chen¡¯s stitches are excellent; we came specifically because of his reputation today and even


    brought gifts.¡±


    As she said this, she took a box that was beside her and patted it.


    Tian Xianglan, upon hearing it was about seeing a doctor, immediately felt relieved, as long as it was for medical consultation.


    The emergency department was quite chaotic, often attracting a variety of messy people, so several security guards were stationed there.


    But¡­ these security guards were just sitting there, idly watching, after all, no one was causing trouble.


    And even if!


    Even If someone did cause trouble, 1 wouldn¡¯t be able to fight them off, right?


    The first thing I would definitely do is call the police.


    Qin Taishan, a 58-year-old security guard, sighed and looked at the group of burly men, squeezed the Nokia in his hand, and saw the numbers 110 on the screen, but ultimately he did not press the call button.


    Now, with the hospital-patient relationship being so tense, the main role of the security guards was to maintain order; expecting them to protect your safety was definitely impossible.


    After all, they were earning a security guard¡¯s wage, not a bodyguard¡¯s.


    Tian Xianglan hurried to make a call to Chen Bingsheng, ¡°Old Chen, have you started the surgery yet? Come over quickly, a bunch of people are waiting for you in the lobby.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Bingsheng wondered what the ¡°a big bunch- mentioned meant?


    When he arrived at the lobby in a rush, Tian Xianglan hurriedly greeted him: ¡°Old Chen, a group of socialites are waiting for you in the lobby. Did you provoke someone? They don¡¯t look like good people to me!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng frowned, ¡°No? 1 haven¡¯t provoked anybody for years, have I?¡± Tian Xianglan was also puzzled, ¡°Right? But they specifically asked for Doctor Chen by name and surname!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng said, ¡°Let¡¯s go out and see.¡±


    Tian Xianglan followed him toward the lobby.


    Once outside, Tian Xianglan addressed the crowd, ¡°Hello everyone, Doctor


    Chen is here! Please get up.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the eyes of the rough men lit up, they turned around and looked up, but saw a middle-aged man approaching.


    Zhao Huqiu immediately frowned, ¡°We are looking for Doctor Chen!¡± Tian Xianglan nodded earnestly, ¡°Yes, this is our ER Doctor Chen!¡±


    Zhao Huqiu shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s not him!


    Tian Xianglan insisted, ¡°I am the head nurse of the emergency department, and I can certify that he is the only Doctor Chen in our department!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng nodded!


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I am Chen Bingsheng, Doctor Chen!¡±


    At this point, there was a buzz of discussion among the crowd!


    ¡°Boss, this isn¡¯t right, we came to the Second Hospital last time! 1 remember it clearly!¡±


    Zhao Huqiu took out his phone, opened WeChat Moments, and clicked on a contact named ¡°Little Snake.¡±


    He scrolled down and suddenly saw:


    ¡°Mona Lisa¡¯s Dragon¡ªartwork by Master Chen!


    He scrutinized the bedsheet marker behind Zhang Dalong: Provincial Second Hospital, no mistake!


    At this moment, Chang Lina whispered to Tian Xianglan, ¡°Head nurse, they might be looking for the younger Doctor Chen.¡±


    Tian Xianglan was startled, ¡°Younger Chen?


    Chang Lina nodded!


    Tian Xianglan shook her head, ¡°Can¡¯t be, can it?


    Zhao Huqiu stood up and spoke, ¡°The one we are looking for is younger, taller than this, more handsome, and with a bit more hair.


    Chen Bingsheng was taken aback!


    He knew who it was!


    But¡­ he was quite dissatisfied with their description of himself!


    However, seeing the gang of burly men, Chen Bingsheng felt helpless, but thinking of Chen Cang, he sneered..

 Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Chain Tasks

    Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Chain Tasks


    Translator: 549690339 |


    When Chen Cang was in the operating room, his cellphone would usually be on silent. After stepping off the elevator, he pulled out his phone to find dozens of missed calls.


    There were calls from Chen Bingsheng, Tian Xianglan, Chang Lina¡­


    Chen Cang was startled.


    Has my identity as a rich second generation been exposed?


    But no, I¡¯m not a rich second generation¡­


    He returned Chen Bingsheng¡¯s call, ¡°Boss, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng replied irritably, ¡°Are you done with the surgery? Hurry up to the emergency hall.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t askwhy and simply said, ¡°Alright!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng, suddenly remembering something, added, ¡°Come to the doctors¡¯ office first.¡±


    He needed to ask Chen Cang what kind of trouble he had gotten into¡ªif these people had come for revenge, wouldn¡¯t there be a problem the moment they met?


    So, Old Chen stood anxiously at the office door.


    There were too many things happening in the emergency department, asking why would just be a waste of time. Chen Cang hurried to the office and saw Chen Bingsheng right away.


    Old Chen quickly pulled him into the office and asked with a serious face, ¡°Have you caused any trouble recently?¡±


    Chen Cang thought about the two points he had just lost in goodwill. Do Director An and Brother Qian count?


    Beyond that, he thought long and hard, but nothing else came to mind.


    ¡°No, not at all!¡±


    Old Chen frowned, ¡°There¡¯s a group of people outside, all of them with tattoos and bare arms, looking like they¡¯re here for you. Are you sure you haven¡¯t caused any trouble? Think carefully¡ªhave you provoked any patients, their families, or anyone on the street?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head.


    Finally reassured, Old Chen nodded, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go out and see.¡±


    Following Old Chen to the hall, they found a group of people sitting on the floor, including Old Chen, Nurse Tian, and Chang Lina.


    Chencang went around to have a look and instantly recognized someone all too familiar!


    Wasn¡¯t this Tiger Chest from the ¡°Dragon-Tiger Fight¡± the other day?


    After all, not many people sport a huge tattoo of Guan Gong on their body.


    The tiger on his chest¡­ why does it feel strange?


    Zhao Huqiu turned around and also saw Chen Cang, immediately standing up, ¡°Master Chen! You¡¯ve arrived!¡±


    The followers behind him also stood up, ¡°Master Chen, you¡¯ve arrived!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled by the pressing crowd and couldn¡¯t help retreating a step.


    Damn, I haven¡¯t even been enlisted yet!


    The political review issue cannot be tarnished!


    You people don¡¯t get chummy with me!


    ¡°Please call me Doctor Chen,¡± Chen Cang addressed the crowd, but then, seeing Old Chen beside him, corrected himself, ¡°Call me Little Doctor Chen!¡±


    Zhao Huqiu and the others looked perplexed, ¡°Little Doctor Chen, alright.¡±


    Those around them were taken aback¡­


    Is Chen Cang actually a hidden kingpin?


    Chang Lina suddenly thought about the scenes described in novels where a security guard turns out to be the big boss of a major conglomerate, a powerful figure with a dark and light side. Could it be that Chen Cang is the kingpin hidden in emergency?


    As Tian Xianglan stood in astonishment, she also finally felt relieved; things weren¡¯t bad, it wasn¡¯t about seeking revenge or fighting, so it was negotiable¡­


    But Chen Bingsheng frowned, pondering why Chen Cang had so many connections with these people?


    Chen Cang asked Zhao Huqiu, ¡°What are you guys here for?¡±


    He knew Zhao Huqiu was the leader of the group.


    Zhao Huqiu came forward, ¡°Doctor, here¡¯s the thing, can we talk in private?¡± ¡°Little Doctor Chen, my boss¡¯s sister got a cut on her leg. The bleeding¡¯s been stopped, but when it comes to stitching¡­ it¡¯s on her calf. It¡¯s not suitable for a girl to have a scar there, especially when wearing skirts. So they sent me to request your help with the stitching. We have everything prepared at home.¡± Chen Cang frowned, ¡°I can¡¯t practice medicine if I leave the hospital. It¡¯s considered illegal practice.¡±


    Zhao Huqiu quickly shook his head, ¡°No, no, no, it¡¯s not practicing medicine, it¡¯s just friends helping each other out.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if any issues arise, we won¡¯t hold you responsible!¡±


    Chen Cang still hesitated.


    To be honest, he really didn¡¯t want to get too involved with these people. After thinking it over, he said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m just a junior doctor, I really am powerless. You should try the provincial people¡¯s hospital to find a specialist, or maybe look for someone at a beauty salon. They might have better solutions!¡± After speaking, Chen Cang prepared to leave, but Zhao Huqiu suddenly grabbed his wrist.


    Chen Cang struggled just slightly and broke free!


    Zhao Huqiu was suddenly taken aback.


    He knew full well the extent of his own strength¡­


    This Doctor Chen looked so skinny, so how did he just now exert such enormous strength?


    However, Zhao Huqiu knew that he had come today to speak nicely: ¡°Doctor Chen, I really have to beg you, please help me out just this once, alright? In the future, if there¡¯s anything you need, just say the word.¡±


    Chen Cang turned to leave.


    But suddenly, Zhao Huqiu grabbed Chen Cang around the waist.


    He cried out with a ¡°wa¡±!


    ¡°Doctor, Save my mom, please! I¡¯m begging you¡­¡±


    The surrounding lackeys were all sharp-witted!


    At once, they all started to cry out as well.


    ¡°Doctor, please, save our godmother¡­¡±


    Suddenly, the entire hall burst into activity¡­


    Chen Cang was even more baffled¡­


    Wasn¡¯t it the boss¡¯s sister?


    How did she become your mother!?


    This guy is playing me!


    Looking at the crowd around him sobbing, with snot and tears everywhere¡­


    Especially Zhao Huqiu, acting with such emotion, tears and snot flowing as he cried, with the drool coming down his mouth splashing onto Chen Gang¡¯s white coat¡­


    Tian Xianglan couldn¡¯t bear it for a moment.


    Chang Lina suddenly felt pity for this boss¡­


    She became even more suspicious of Chen Gang¡¯s identity as the man behind the scenes. Could Chen Cang really decide someone¡¯s life and death just like that?


    Isn¡¯t that too terrifying?


    Curiosity spread wildly, winding up like a tightly-coiled spring, and began spinning frantically¡­


    Tian Xianglan stepped forward: ¡°Doctor Chen, if there¡¯s anything you can do, please help them out. Their mother must be in great danger.¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    Chen Bingsheng also came forward: ¡°Let¡¯s talk it over, what¡¯s wrong? If your mother has an issue, you can come to the hospital. Explain the situation first¡­¡± With tears and snot all over his face, Zhao Huqiu embraced Chen Cang¡¯s waist: ¡°My mom wants to see Doctor Chen! She must have Doctor Chen go¡­ Doctor Chen, please do me this kindness!¡±


    ChenCang:


    Chen Bingsheng: ¡°Doctor Chen, how about this, I¡¯ll go with you. Anyway, it¡¯s almost time to get off work.¡±


    Looking at Zhao Huqiu, who resembled a rascal, Chen Cang still felt he was unreliable.


    [Ding! Chain quest: Zhao Huqiu¡¯s request, do you accept?]


    Chen Cang was momentarily startled, a chain quest?


    Does that mean if I accept, there will be follow-up tasks?


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Let go of me first. With so many people watching, it doesn¡¯t look good.¡±


    Zhao Huqiu: ¡°I won¡¯t let go unless you agree¡­¡±


    ¡°Doctor, I swear, my boss¡¯s sister really cannot come out right now, and the head of the Dermatology Department of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital is also there. I swear! Just go and take a look, see if anything can be done! If you think it¡¯s not possible after checking, I¡¯ll drive you back, how about that?¡±


    A crowd of people weeping tragically in the hall drew more and more onlookers, some even began taking pictures.


    Chen Cang thought for a moment, realizing there was no loss in checking, and if it was not working out, he could just come back.


    After all, he had only heard of forced buying and forced selling, but never of forced stitching or forced treatment!


    So he said, ¡°Release me, get them to stop crying; I¡¯ll agree to take a look, but I can¡¯t guarantee that I¡¯ll be able to treat her.¡±


    The moment Zhao Huqiu heard this, he became ecstatic, turning to the others and said, ¡°Alright, stop crying!¡±


    The group was obedient, immediately closing their mouths. Their acting skills just now were something even young actors couldn¡¯t match.


    But Zhao Huqiu was truly a veteran actor of his field.


    He stood up and gave Chen Cang a big hug: ¡°Thank you! Doctor Chen, I¡¯m so grateful!¡±


    Meanwhile, Wang Qian, with a face full of grievance and complex emotions, returned from the operating room. Hearing the commotion, he happened to see this scene, his eyes bulging like a bull¡¯s!

 Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Chapter 40: The 2nd Ring

    Chapter 40: Chapter 40: The 2nd Ring


    Translator: 549690339 |


    At this moment, in the emergency room office, there were over a dozen luxury fruit baskets on the table!


    Each basket was filled with various expensive fruits.


    There were mangosteens, grapes, snake fruits, durians, jackfruits, and cherries the size of a human fist¡­


    They covered the tables of the emergency room office!


    It was time for the midday shift to end, but a crowd of people didn¡¯t leave; instead, they gathered around the table, dividing the spoils.


    Tian Xianglan sighed, ¡°All¡­ this is the first time I¡¯ve been able to eat so much expensive fruit in the emergency room office!¡±


    Chang Lina nodded, ¡°Right, I¡¯d never have the heart to buy durian, all this is pure fruit, must weigh a few kilos, right? That¡¯s a lot of money!¡±


    Qin Yue peeled a mangosteen and took a bite, ¡°Not bad, who would¡¯ve thought we could get lucky following Chen Cang.¡±


    A group of people chattered non-stop, saying a place with many women is never lonely.


    But-


    Wang Qian was as calm as still water, writing up medical cases, not saying a word.


    Qin Yue suddenly asked with a smile, ¡°Qian¡¯er, aren¡¯t you going to eat some fruit? Don¡¯t you usually love them the most?¡±


    Old Chen also smiled and nodded, ¡°Exactly, Xiao Wang, we can¡¯t finish them all, take some back for your wife!¡±


    Wang Qian shook his head and smiled, ¡°No need, let everyone eat, my stomach isn¡¯t feeling well today.¡±


    Shi Na too smiled, ¡°The fruit baskets in the emergency room really aren¡¯t many, unlike those in surgery or gynecology departments¡­ all fruits, come on? Chief An, have some fruit.¡±


    An Yanjun shook his head, ¡°No thanks, I feel cold in my stomach, I¡¯m going to eat something warm.¡±


    [Ding! Chain Task¡ªAccepting Tiger Autumn¡¯s request, gain: Tiger Autumn¡¯s favorability +10. Please continue to explore subsequent tasks. Hint: Find the key NPC.]


    Chen Cang shook his head, key NPC?


    Who could it be?


    Sitting in his Land Rover Range Rover, Chen Cang asked, ¡°So what¡¯s the matter exactly?¡±


    Zhao Huqiu wore an ingratiating smile, ¡°Doctor Chen, this time I truly need your help. My boss¡¯s lady cut her leg today and needs stitches. My boss used his connections to find many surgeons, but they couldn¡¯t guarantee a nice sewing job. We sought experts from inside and outside the province, but none could give any guarantees.¡±


    ¡°Then I thought of you. I believe your skills are definitely up to the task! I saw the stitches you put on Zhang Dalong, so beautiful! I feel that if you take care of it, there would absolutely be no problem.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°I can¡¯t guarantee that I will do a good job of it, medicine involves risks and uncertainties, nobody can give guarantees for anything! I will go and have a look before deciding.¡±


    Zhao Huqiu nodded, ¡°Of course, of course, you¡¯re definitely capable!¡±


    ¡°I showed those experts how you stitched up Zhang Dalong, after they saw it, they all said it was impossible, too perfect! Haha¡­ I just knew that you could do it!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed and said nothing more.


    But he had already decided he would not operate unless he was 100% certain he could do it. Otherwise, if anything went wrong, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.


    Though the chain tasks were tempting, Chen Cang preferred the stability of his professional career.


    Having just obtained the system, he should be playing it safe, not getting too close to these ¡°big shots.¡±


    If something happened, no one would come to his rescue.


    Not to mention Zhao Huqiu¡¯s boss, Chen Cang could not afford to offend even Zhao Huqiu himself.


    This Range Rover must cost over two million, right?


    And there were several cars following, not as expensive, but not cheap either.


    The Anyang downtown area isn¡¯t large, yet it took the car over half an hour to reach its destination.


    Here lies the Forest Park, next to which a developer has built a villa district, and there¡¯s also the only international standard golf course in Dongyang Province.


    Chen Cang had been to the Forest Park before and had even jumped into the golf course to collect a few golf balls.


    No wonder they say golf is a sport for the rich¡ªmany balls are hit out and never picked up.


    Zhao Huqiu went to register, and only after a call from inside were they allowed to drive in; his subordinates could only wait at the gate.


    It must be said, a villa district really is a villa district; the landscaping, sanitation, and other infrastructure inside are so good it makes one reluctant to drop even a scrap of paper.


    Under the trees, there are many rabbit burrows, with little rabbits often scurrying out to frolic, amid other small creatures.


    Chen Cang was astonished.


    Is this the world of the rich?


    A zoo right in their neighborhood?


    A huge man-made lake lay before them, with some motorboats docked on it, and according to the signs, there seemed to be a fishing area further ahead. Zhao Huqiu smiled and said, ¡°Exaggerated, huh?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded silently.


    ¡± When I first came here, I was also stunned! These rich people really are rich!¡±


    The two arrived at a three-story villa and were met by a nanny who led them upstairs.


    Upon entering, Chen Cang saw a man in his fifties sitting in the living room, surrounded by several individuals, most of whom were wearing white lab coats.


    The group was discussing:


    ¡°It¡¯s unreasonable, this kind of suturing method can indeed effectively reduce scarring, but it¡¯s not beneficial for the existing tattoo repair.¡±


    ¡°The angle and details of this flower must maintain consistency with the skin texture during suturing, which requires us to consider the scars¡ªusing instruments later to restore skin might yield better results.¡±


    Regardless of the ongoing discussion, the square-faced man in his fifties was quietly sipping tea, lost in thought.


    As Chen Cang wasn¡¯t a specialist in medical aesthetics, he naturally didn¡¯t understand the specifics of skin repair very well, but from what he could tell, these people were indeed highly professional.


    Chen Gang¡¯s arrival didn¡¯t draw much attention; he was merely given an extra glance.


    Zhao Huqiu approached the man and respectfully said, ¡°Boss, this is the expert I mentioned to you. Doctor Chen!¡±


    The man merely uttered an ¡°Oh,¡± nodding slightly, and then looked up to ask, ¡°Is he the one who did the suturing for your friend?¡±


    Zhao Huqiu nodded: ¡°I think we should give it a try. After all, I saw Zhang Dalong¡¯s arm yesterday, it¡¯s healing very well. I personally made the cut with a beer bottle, and now it¡¯s recovered nicely and looks even better.¡±


    The middle-aged man frowned slightly: ¡°How old is he?¡±


    Zhao Huqiu shook his head: ¡°Boss, you were already a multimillionaire at 30. You can¡¯t judge people by their appearance. Age doesn¡¯t define ambition. Why not let him take a look at the wound first? See what he has to say?¡±


    After a moment¡¯s contemplation, the middle-aged man said to Zhao Huqiu, ¡°Call him over, I want to ask him a few questions.¡±


    Zhao Huqiu nodded and walked over to Chen Cang: ¡°Dr. Chen, my boss would like to ask you a few questions.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and stepped forward, saying without any timidity, ¡°Hello.¡±


    Chen Cang felt no fear or hesitation; he thought, I have nothing to ask of you, so why should I be afraid of you?


    The middle-aged man nodded: ¡°Hello, I am Zheng Guotan.¡±


    Chen Cang knew the name but hadn¡¯t seen the face before.


    The largest property tycoon in Anyang city.


    This was the man who had driven up housing prices in Dongyang Province. With this thought, Chen Cang suddenly wanted to turn around and leave, if not for that giant green question mark hovering above Zheng Guotan¡¯s head¡­

 Chapter 41 - Chapter 41: Information on Green Equipment

    Chapter 41: Information on Green Equipment


    Translator: 549690339


    Zheng Guotan noticed that Chen Cang seemed a little unhappy inside, yet he didn¡¯t know the reason why.


    Did I upset him?


    Why does everyone seem displeased with me lately?


    Besides being confused, Zheng Guotan became even more troubled inside. Thinking about the recent slew of messy incidents, he felt that he should pay a visit to Buddha these days.


    Ruffling feathers without cause is irrational. Zheng Guotan¡¯s success didn¡¯t come from being someone who wears his emotions on his sleeve.


    So even though Chen Cang was a junior doctor, he still smiled and nodded, ¡°Dr. Chen, hello. Thank you for your help today. Remember to give Dr. Chen a briefing when Xiao Hu sends him back later.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the question mark over Zheng Guotan¡¯s head.


    Ding! Due to the harem fire causing chaos for Zheng Guotan, he feels anxious. A little inquiry will trigger the second part of a serial quest.


    Chen Cang also replied with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Mr. Zheng. May I ask what brings you here today?¡±


    Zheng Guotan shook his head, took a deep breath, and slowly said, ¡°Dr. Chen, my girlfriend¡­ this morning she accidentally sliced her leg, quite a long cut. ¡¯ Please see if you can fix it.¡±


    As Chen Cang looked on thoughtfully, Zheng Guotan said directly, ¡°it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to go to the hospital, but my girlfriend is quite special. You¡¯ll understand when you see her. Come with me.¡±


    During the conversation, he took Chen Cang into a bedroom.


    A woman sat on the sofa in the bedroom, dressed in a white nightgown, with her leg resting on the coffee table, bandaged and pressurized with gauze in the middle of her calf.


    But the woman had a stern, cold beauty, a dejected look on her face, unruly long hair, a clear slap mark on her face, eyes visibly cried out, red and swollen and only one earring hanging from each ear; she looked utterly disheveled and forlorn.


    Two medical staff were treating the wound on either side.


    However, when Chen Cang took a closer look at the woman¡¯s face, he couldn¡¯t help but be startled.


    He finally understood why they didn¡¯t go to the hospital.


    This was a celebrity!


    The actress Xu Ruoyun, who had gradually become popular in recent years thanks to a few hit films!


    Beautiful and well-figured, she¡¯s even striving toward the top-tier this year.


    How could she go to the hospital in this condition?


    This disheveled appearance, the slap mark on the face, the messy hair.


    If she went out, who knows what kind of big news it would turn into!


    Is this domestic violence?


    Or some private bedroom matter?


    No!


    Chen Cang, recalling the task prompt, realized what was going on.


    A harem on fire!


    A power struggle between the wife and the mistress, and it seemed the wife had emerged completely victorious.


    Chen Cang heaved a sigh, the lives of the wealthy are indeed colorful and variegated.


    But¡­ he shouldn¡¯t have come today!


    He had stepped into a place of trouble.


    He learned some secrets he shouldn¡¯t have known.


    Zheng Guotan still couldn¡¯t help but ask softly with concern, ¡°Does it hurt now?¡±


    The woman nodded woodenly, tears dripping down her face.


    Zheng Guotan sighed, feeling pity, and comforted her, ¡°Baby, don¡¯t cry, be good, okay? It¡¯s all my fault. Rest assured, I¡¯ll take care of today¡¯s issue for you.¡±


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned-another handover? Was this boss Zheng from a family that produced tape?


    The actress took a deep breath, gently dabbed the corner of her eye with a tissue, and spoke with a tone of finality, ¡°Yeah, hurry up, please. I can¡¯t stand this¡­ I also have to go auditioning soon, everything is arranged with the director, and there are several advertisements I¡¯ve taken on¡­ Now this problem with my leg, sigh¡­¡±


    Upon hearing that it was about this matter, Zheng Guotan thought, isn¡¯t it just shooting a movie? Anything that can be solved with money isn¡¯t a big deal.


    He quickly sat next to the actress, and patted her shoulder, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, once this is over, I¡¯ll find you a few popular stars, we¡¯ll make a New Year¡¯s blockbuster, and for those advertisements- we¡¯re not short on money! Is it that you spend too much, or that I care too little?¡±


    After speaking, he gave Chen Cang a meaningful look, ¡°Doctor Chen, please check on my girlfriend, can she be cured?¡±


    [Ding! The second chain mission is triggered. Agree to Zheng Guotan and help Xu Ruoyun with the suture. Mission completion rewards: 1. KIM suture thread (green); 2. Experience +200; 3. Skin suturing experience +200.4. Completing the mission will reveal information about the final task.]


    Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback-completing the mission would actually get him green surgical threads!


    Moreover, there was still one final part to go. Based on experience in games, the last part of any mission is when the rewards are the most generous!


    At this thought, Chen Cang felt a flicker of excitement.


    However, Chen Cang was still very clear-headed; he would never take risks without absolute certainty.


    He bent down to remove the gauze covering the wound and carefully inspected


    Underneath the gauze, the wound was revealed!


    A mess of flesh and blood!


    Was this cut with a knife?


    This damn thing clearly looked like it was caused by an irregular object.


    A stab wound from a sharp weapon, as long as it was neat, wouldn¡¯t result in such a wound!


    But now, on the outer edge of the woman¡¯s fibula, there was a wound about the size of a palm!


    The injury looked like¡­ Yes!


    It resembled those caused by a broken bottle.


    It must be a scrape from a bottle.


    Having figured out the cause, Chen Cang said:


    ¡°Mr. Zheng, next, I need to check the wound, which might hurt a bit. Please ask your girlfriend to bear with it.¡±


    It has to be said, money truly makes the world go round; at this moment, the room was stocked with several first-aid kits, suture packs, and all sorts of equipment needed for suturing.


    Chen Cang recognized some of them, while others he couldn¡¯t even name.


    They might be specially designed for cosmetic suturing.


    It is said that one of these could cost tens of thousands.


    After rinsing with saline, Chen Cang began using tweezers to gently separate the skin for a neater alignment.


    Since it was a scrape from a bottle edge, the skin was irregularly torn, like jagged cuts which made the suturing quite challenging!


    The difficulty and limited options in puncturing angles were great constraints.


    To suture this irregular damage neatly was a daunting task, and because of the irregularity, the greatest challenge was to complete the suture without leaving any scars.


    Luckily, the woman had a rose tattoo on her calf, which could possibly offer some concealment, though only to a slight degree.


    Chen Cang activated his ¡°Eyes of Beauty¡± and his eyes continuously searched for the suturing points on the jagged edges, simulating various approaches naturally.


    After a considerable time!


    Chen Cang looked up; he had found a possible method of suturing-perhaps a round needle would be better!


    Normally, skin needles are cutting needles because the skin is thick, with rich hair follicles and sebaceous glands, demanding that the needle tip be sufficiently sharp. Thus, skin needles are cutting needles, with triangular tips and round bodies, designed for skin suturing.


    Round needles, on the other hand, are mainly used for soft, easily penetrable tissues, like the peritoneum, gastrointestinal tract, and heart tissue, causing minimal injury when passing through. However, using a round needle for skin suturing is quite rare!

    Moreover!


    Chen Cang was going to use a round needle and he intended to choose the thinnest type available.


    After some deliberation, Chen Cang decided on a suture needle that he had often used in the hospital: the ET164 suture needle, a number four round needle, 16mm in length. This needle was very thin and typically came with a number four thread, and it was quite short, only 16mm.


    This type of round needle was generally used to suture blood vessels due to its limited sharpness and because it was very fine. If someone were to suggest using it to suture skin, that would be considered complete nonsense!


    Yet, Chen Cang¡¯s idea was to use a number four thread ¡°tail bridge¡± in addition to this tiny ET164 to suture the skin!


    Only by doing so, could he achieve the best results in terms of the suture properties and the appearance of the repaired skin!


    Of course, this type of suture came with a high cost.


    Firstly, it required a high level of skill; to be able to use a round needle for skin suturing, Chen Cang happened to have that technique, pass!


    Secondly, it was expensive, pass!


    Thirdly, the patient essentially had to remain still post-operation because the thread was so fine that even a slightly excessive movement could cause the suture to break, negatively affecting recovery. However, Chen Cang felt that this wouldn¡¯t be a problem, at least not for the patient, since they would be well-taken care of by a large team.


    The last requirement was the need for a perfect design plan, which was most important. Chen Cang happened to have the blessing of the ¡°Eye of Beauty¡±!


    After thinking it through, Chen Cang looked up, ¡°I think, I should be able to do it.¡±


    Upon hearing this statement, Zheng Guotan¡¯s eyes lit up!


    What was the phrase he had heard most often today?


    ¡°I can¡¯t guarantee it!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s basically impossible!¡±


    ¡°This¡­ is unrealistic!¡±


    ¡°Very difficult! No, too difficult!¡±


    More than a dozen experts had been consulted, and each one had the same response, which frustrated Zheng Guotan to no end, yet he was powerless to change it.


    But Chen Cang said something different: ¡°I should be able to do it!¡±


    This indicated that the young man was highly confident.


    However, Zheng Guotan also considered another possibility! Youthful impetuosity, eager for quick success, wanting to stand out! Both possibilities were plausible, and Zheng Guotan naturally couldn¡¯t just take his word for it. He replied with a glint in his eye, ¡°That¡¯s great, let¡¯s go outside and discuss with the other experts to see if your idea is feasible.¡±


    With that, he led Chen Cang to the living room.


    Zheng Guotan clapped his hands and addressed the crowd, ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed directors and experts, please listen first ¡ª after examining the wound, Dr. Chen believes we can give it a try. Let¡¯s hear Dr.


    Chen¡¯s thoughts.¡±


    Upon hearing Zheng Guotan¡¯s cue to pay attention, everyone immediately turned around.


    When they heard him mention that the doctor had a viable solution, curiosity


    got the better of them.


    What were these five or six people discussing over there?


    Was it not a discussion on how to suture more effectively?


    This doctor, so young, and unfamiliar looking, quite handsome though! Could he be in cosmetic surgery? Then¡­ his appearance must be the result of plastic surgery, really handsome! Speaking of which, he could be a great spokesperson for a cosmetic surgery clinic.


    After all¡­ with a doctor who is a symbol of beauty, patients won¡¯t be scarce, knowing how peculiar women¡¯s buying desires are¡­


    But he was just too young.


    In the medical field, everyone believes that if you¡¯re not bold, your work is not solid. If you couldn¡¯t show a bald head, people would thinkyou lack deep


    expertise,


    However, considering that this doctor was invited by Zheng Guotan, nobody could underestimate him. Perhaps he was an outstanding talent from out of town.


    Chen Cang looked at the crowd but did not recognize anyone. He wasn¡¯t from the medical aesthetics field, and his understanding of it was limited to Zhang Zhixin and Xu Rou. As for dermatology, he was even less familiar; he was just a junior doctor in the emergency department.


    Still, this didn¡¯t affect his performance.


    He looked up and said, ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯d like to share my thoughts next.¡± ¡°As everyone has seen, the lady¡¯s wound is not severe. Any surgeon could handle a simple suture, but achieving a cosmetic level of suturing is very difficult due to the irregularity of the wound, making the difficulty of suturing geometrically more challenging¡­ Therefore!¡±


    ¡°My approach is to use a circular needle similar to what¡¯s used for suturing internal vessels. The needle I chose is the ET164 type, a 16-millimeter long number 4 needle, and for the suture thread, I also chose a number 4 caudal


    bridge¡­¡±


    Chen Cang hadn¡¯t finished speaking when a crisp voice rang out!


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw a woman around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, with gold-rimmed glasses and sophisticated looks, her hair pinned up at the back of her head, wearing a white coat and a pair of high-heeled leather shoes ¨C a very attractive doctor.


    ¡°The method you¡¯re describing is practically unfeasible; the ET164 is a needle for suturing vessels. Are you suggesting using a number 4 circular needle for skin suturing? Are you jolting? Do you think the thickness of the skin can be pierced by a circular needle? ^Moreover, the 16mm length¡­ what¡¯s that for? And you actually want to use a caudal bridge to suture leg skin, which is absurd!¡± ¡°Therefore, I remain skeptical of such a method!¡±


    After speaking, the woman stood there with her arms crossed, making her stance clear.


    The others were nodding, ¡°I also don¡¯t think it¡¯s feasible. Using an ET164 needle to suture skin, and with a circular needle at that¡­ It¡¯s difficult for the circular needle to penetrate due to the skin¡¯s toughness. But the idea is good.¡± ¡°Hmm, the circular needle indeed has many advantages; it causes less damage and less noticeable scarring.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t argue because they were speaking the truth. It all depended on Zheng Guotan now.


    If he was willing, Chen Cang would proceed; if not, Chen Cang didn¡¯t care. It was just a mission, and it didn¡¯t matter to him whether he did it or not.


    Zheng Guotan heard the discussion and frowned.


    ¡°Do any of the experts have good suggestions?¡±


    The woman who had spoken earlier said, ¡°Mr. Zheng, it¡¯s impossible to leave no scars, the damage is too severe and suturing is too difficult. We can only rely on later scar removal treatment after suturing. We are fairly professional when it comes to scar treatment later. Also¡­ the rose tattoo needs to be removed, otherwise the design will look very distorted after the suture.¡±


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    Indeed, there was no need to hide anything in such matters; just say what needs to be said.


    Ultimately, the decision rested with Zheng Guotan.


    All the choices were on him. What should he do?


    He didn¡¯t distrust Chen Cang, but Chen Cang was just too inexperienced, and those present had much richer resumes. By comparison, Chen Cang was hardly seen as talented.


    Yet, only Chen Cang had the solution. What should he do?


    Just then, a man in his fifties from the crowd spoke up, ¡°Mr. Zheng, I have a thought. Let this doctor give it a try. Even if he fails, we can still manage the repair afterward without much impact. Anyway¡­ we¡¯re out of options, so why not try this.¡±


    ¡°Actually, if this doctor can handle the circular needle suturing of the skin, using the ET164 type of small needle might indeed be reasonable, though the difficulty is high. If it¡¯s botched, it¡¯s just a waste of a basic caudal bridge thread, not a great loss.¡±


    Indeed, the circular needle already causes less skin damage, let alone using a number 4 needle. It¡¯s not damage-free, but it¡¯s not significant.


    Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan¡¯s eyes lit up. Right! Even if Chen Cang messed up the suturing, the worst-case scenario was as these people had said. Zheng Guotan turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Howconfident are you?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Eighty percent!¡±


    After weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Guotan decisively nodded and said, ¡°Okay! You do it, do you need an assistant?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, I do.¡±


    ps: I¡¯ve updated a bit late, dear readers please excuse me

 Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Its a bit noisy, everyone out.

    Chapter 43: It¡¯s a bit noisy, everyone out.


    Translator: 549690339 1


    Assistant?


    Chen Cang nodded, of course he needed assistants, and several of them.


    This irregular suture couldn¡¯t be done continuously, they would need to keep changing the needle and suturing thread, and special areas would require someone else to tie the knots.


    Zheng Guotan nodded, turned around, and addressed the several experts, ¡°Let¡¯s all help out Dr. Chen together.¡±


    Hmm, a very common phrase.


    Yet, to everyone¡¯s ears, it meant something entirely different-assist this young doctor? Unhappy about it was for sure.


    Especially for some who were rather proud and haughty.


    But this was Zheng Guotan¡¯s home, not a place for them to throw their tantrums.


    And the senior doctor Qin Xiang who had just spoken smiled and said, ¡°Okay no problem, everyone should come along and take a look. In case there¡¯s a need for postoperative repairs, it¡¯s good to be prepared.¡±


    Seeing Qin Xiang taking the lead, everyone nodded and followed along.


    Different fields have different requirements for suturing, in aesthetic medicine design is most important, while in the medical field, recovery is paramount.


    Suddenly the woman with glasses said, ¡°This is the suturing scheme we designed, for you.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded his head, took the scheme, and said, ¡°Thank you!¡±


    The woman ignored him and walked straight inside.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang casually smiled, lowered his head, and started examining the schematics in his hands.


    Well, quite professional, a very rigorous schematic of sutures from both medical and cosmetic perspectives.


    After a brief glance, Chen Cang tossed the schematics onto the table carelessly, and stood up to enter the room.


    Because that plan simply didn¡¯t catch Chen Cang¡¯s eye.


    After all, could such a plan compare to ¡°The Eye of Beauty¡±? The difference was not insignificant, it was rather like night and day. After the preparations were completed, Chen Cang nodded to everyone, ¡°I¡¯m going to start now.¡±


    Qin Xiang nodded, ¡°Mm!¡±


    Another man, who was slightly balding, also nodded, ¡°Alright.¡±


    The woman with glasses, named An Jing, was the head of Annie Aesthetic Medicine Agency, quite well-known in Anyang City¡¯s cosmetic surgery circle, but there she stood, indifferent, arms crossed, with an attitude that she wouldn¡¯t be involved should anything go awry.


    Chen Cang picked up the ET164 needle, ¡°The Eye of Beauty¡¯s¡± passive skill aid kicked in, and the operation began. Chen Cang decided to start suturing from the middle, where the difficulty was greatest, but once completed, the difficulty of suturing on either side would be reduced. This time he needed several needles, but he was not concerned about the rest.


    Having said this, Chen Cang¡¯s needle pierced towards the skin!


    At that moment, everyone¡¯s hearts clenched in suspense!


    After all, could that round needle even penetrate?


    And so small¡­


    The difficulty just increased a notch.


    Using a 164 needle to suture skin, you¡¯re practically flying blind, aren¡¯t you? A nearly two-centimeter curved needle made skin suturing exceedingly difficult.


    An Jing stood there, even prepared to revel in potential ridicule.


    Because the 164 needle was too short and too thin, holding it at the center of the handle with tweezers made it impossible to penetrate the skin, so Chen Cang clamped the tail end of the needle with the tweezers.


    As a result, the operation¡¯s difficulty increased even more!


    Penetration into the skin became even more challenging!


    But while everyone was worried, Chen Cang¡¯s needle tip had already instantaneously disappeared into the skin, and with a slight deft force from the tweezers, emerged on the opposite side!


    This seemingly simple operation dumbfounded everyone!


    What the¡­?


    Wang Defa?


    It¡¯s that simple?


    Everyone froze for a moment. Was it really that simple?


    Had they all misunderstood something about round needles before?


    Was it because the size four needle was fine enough to add extra sharpness to the round needle¡¯s point?


    Everyone¡¯s brain crashed as they began to ponder the reason.


    Could it be because the ET manufacturer was particularly adept at handling the 164 needle?


    Thinking of this, everyone frowned.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang continuously began to insert and remove the needles¡­ The suturing went very smoothly.


    Just at this moment, An Jing suddenly frowned because she noticed Chen Cang was not following the suturing plan she had provided.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you following the suturing plan I gave you?!¡±


    A scolding startled Zheng Guotan, who had been earnestly focused on the suturing; his heart nearly leapt out. Dammit, can¡¯t you keep it down a bit!


    It was only then that everyone realized Chen Cang had started suturing from the middle, completely disregarding their planned approach.


    Qin Xiang, on the other hand, looked thoughtful as he observed the skin.


    Chen Cang¡¯s choice actually made a lot of sense; starting the suturing from the middle might have indeed been his best option because: the brave may be shrewd!


    And An Jing¡¯s questioning plunged the room into an awkward silence.


    Chen Cang was also somewhat annoyed. After all, such delicate suturing was an extremely fine operation, and her disturbance could have potentially affected the process.


    With that thought, Chen Cang ignored An Jing and turned to Zheng Guotan, saying, ¡°Mr. Zheng, please have everyone else leave. The three of us will suffice. If there are any more interruptions¡­ I cannot guarantee that I won¡¯t make a mistake.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan immediately nodded in agreement, ¡°Alright everyone, please step out. Go take a break in the living room; have some tea.¡± ¡¯ After saying this, he gestured for everyone to leave.


    But An Jing stood there still!


    ¡°Mr. Zheng, I disagree with his suturing approach. I think the plan we designed earlier is the best.¡±


    Zheng Guotan frowned slightly, ¡°Miss An, you¡¯d better rest outside for a bit.¡± Seeing Zheng Guotan¡¯s expression, An Jing¡¯s face changed color, she nodded, and walked outside.


    She couldn¡¯t help thinking: You¡¯d better not come to me if something goes wrong later! Relying on that kid? Hah¡­ wishful thinking, armchair strategizing.


    Zheng Guotan saw that everyone had exited and hurriedly moved closer to take a look.


    Xu Ruoyun, however, said, ¡°You, out!¡±


    Zheng Guotan was stunned, then gave an awkward smile, ¡°I¡¯ll¡­ Chen, I¡¯ll guard the door for you from inside, making sure no one comes in, alright?¡±


    Xu Ruoyun¡¯s expression was stern, ¡°You can guard the door from outside.¡±


    Zheng Guotan immediately nodded, ¡°Alright, alright, don¡¯t get angry, Ruoyun.¡±


    After coming out, Zheng Guotan stood at the door, pacing back and forth, somewhat agitated.


    Meanwhile, inside the room, Chen Cang¡¯s suturing was meticulous. He now realized that the [Sharpness +1] attribute brought terrifying changes. A mere suturing needle provided Chen Cang with more choices; the damage from the round needle suturing was indeed far less than that of a triangular needle.


    Under the enhancement of [Beautiful Eyes], Chen Cang¡¯s suturing got better and better, becoming increasingly smooth!


    The two assisting Chen Cang were already stunned by his suturing approach!


    Chen Cang had truly become a big shot!


    ¡°Change needle!¡±


    ¡°Cut thread!¡±


    ¡°Rinse with saline!¡±


    After each directive, Chen Cang realized something: these people were more useful than surgical nurses, well, at least they understood you!


    Now those top-tier experts often brought not only their surgical instruments but also assistants to help!


    They were used to it.


    It seemed he needed to enhance his own talent pool, striving to train some assistants!


    Chen Bingsheng was good, he could be a first assistant; Director An was also not bad as a second assistant, but¡­ forget it, Director Li Baoshan would actually be the most suitable, a pity he was a bit old. There was Qin Yue, pleasant to the eye and good at brownnosing, aside from being a bit rotten, everything else was fine. Thinking of these people whispering ¡°Chen Cang is awesome!¡± in his ears gave him a bit of a thrill.


    Once the final knot was tied, Chen Cang looked at Qin Xiang and the bald man with satisfaction, full of pride.


    Pleased, he nodded to signal, not bad, not bad!


    And when they saw Chen Cang¡¯s pleased gaze, they felt a weight lifted off their shoulders and were filled with even more joy!


    It was as if they had returned to the days when they were residents assisting their superiors, and they received their superiors¡¯ commendation.


    A sense of achievement and excitement that had been missing for a long time surged in their hearts!


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Rinse it with saline to check the effect!¡±


    The bald man couldn¡¯t wait; he grabbed the syringe and began to wash slowly, his technique very professional.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°This cleaning technique is meticulous.¡± The man, hearing the praise, suddenly felt a surge of happiness: ¡°Thank you for the compliment!¡±


    After the rinse was complete, the


    scenery unfolded before everyone!

 Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: A fruitful harvest!

    Chapter 44: A fruitful harvest!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Hearing himself praised, Yang Tao naturally felt excited and elated.


    This long-missed, simple joy was something no one could have expected¡ªno, that¡¯s not right, Qin Xiang should have known!


    With this thought, Yang Tao glanced at Qin Xiang, smiled triumphantly, and signaled: Look, Dr. Chen praised me!


    Which caused Qin Xiang to roll his eyes.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang sighed. That¡¯s all it takes to make you happy?


    This generation is not easy to deal with!


    Thinking this, he adopted the tone Dr. Chen had used when instructing him, and said indifferently, ¡°When you face suturing in the future, you must not be rigid. Remember to integrate and assimilate, and keep in mind that suturing is the most basic skill.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Cang looked at Qin Xiang: ¡°I just noticed a bad habit of yours, tying knots carelessly and quickly. Indeed, being fast is good, but you have to combine it with the skin¡¯s stress points and analyze¡­ and you, you have some issues too¡­¡±


    Hearing Chen Cang point out their issues, neither of them was upset. Instead, they had an epiphany, feeling as if they had been awakened from a dream!


    It has to be said, both were utterly impressed by Chen Cang¡¯s suturing ability¡ª so young and yet so skilled. Was he recruited talent or an overseas returnee? After finishing, Chen Cang looked at Xu Ruoyun¡¯s sutured leg and nodded, very satisfied!


    If the total score were out of too, Chen Cang would give himself 1000 points. After all, it¡¯s essential to give an extra dose of encouragement, support, and cheers. Adding up to 1000 points is not much; it¡¯s a solid score.


    Chen Cang smiled: ¡°What do you guys think?¡±


    At this moment, Yang Tao and Qin Xiang hurriedly began to inspect it closely. However, upon looking, both were stunned!


    It was because I glanced at you one more time amidst the crowd ¡­


    I could never forget your face again!


    The washed leg skin was now firmly sutured together. This palm-sized wound took nearly an hour to suture. Though it seemed simple, only the two involved knew it was not easy at all!


    Especially at the beginning, perhaps they hadn¡¯t anticipated so much, but seeing the result on the leg now.


    Qin Xiang and Yang Tao couldn¡¯t help but exchange a glance, seeing shock in each other¡¯s eyes!


    No wonder he chose to suture like that earlier, so that¡¯s how it is! Linking the before and after together, recalling the earlier procedure, and seeing the current outcome, they finally understood. Although hindsight is 20/20, they felt a touch of sentimentality.


    But Chen Cang hasn¡¯t been here long, has he? From the moment he entered the door to start suturing, it wasn¡¯t even half an hour, right?


    He planned it all out in his mind in just half an hour?


    That¡¯s a bit too incredible.


    Talent!


    This is talent!


    Qin Xiang felt he had lived half a lifetime in envy, admiring such promising youth. He etched Chen Cang¡¯s advice in his memory, intending to reflect on it thoroughly when he got back.


    Because the suturing was too fantastic!


    The two observed how the shape, color, and lines of the rose tattoo had hardly changed, and it seemed even more beautiful!


    Qin Xiang was deeply moved. The suturing was so meticulous it could be considered a work of art!


    Every stitch was classic.


    How does that song go again?


    The suturing like a painting? (Is this scene like a painting?) Graffiti on the wound? (Drawing in the sand in the courtyard?) Waiting for our astonishment? (Waiting for our myth?) Waiting for the miracle to happen! (Waiting for the vows to fall!) Thinking this, Qin Xiang saw Yang Tao pulling out his phone and snapping away at the leg.


    He was taken aback, that¡¯s right!


    Take pictures and look at them closely later.


    By now, Chen Cang had already called An Jing in: ¡°Mr. Zheng, I¡¯ve finished suturing, take a look and see what you think.¡±


    On hearing this, Zheng Guotan¡¯s eyes lit up. It¡¯s done? He immediately pulled open the door and walked in.


    Seeing old Qin talcing photos of his girlfriend¡¯s legs with his phone, he was startled for a moment, ¡°Old Qin, what are you doing!¡±


    He and Qin Xiang had been childhood friends, growing up together. Whenever there was an issue, he would turn to Qin Xiang first to help him find someone.


    Qin Xiang was the head of the dermatology department at Dongda Hospital and carried a lot of weight in this field.


    Old Qin marveled with a tsk-tsk and said offhandedly, ¡°These legs are looking good now, I need to take some more pictures, go back and appreciate them properly, ponder over them a bit.¡±


    These words caused Yang Tao, standing by, to tremble and almost drop his phone to the ground.


    And Zheng Guotan¡¯s face was completely dumbfounded! You¡¯re taking pictures of my girlfriend¡¯s legs and planning to go back and appreciate and analyze them?


    The scene fell into a moment of silence!


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t dare to speak either.


    Suddenly, Qin Xiang realized what was happening and slapped his forehead:


    ¡°Oh man, old Zheng, what in the hell are you thinking about? I¡¯m talking about how neatly the leg is stitched up, come and take a look!¡±


    Zheng Guotan quickly came over and, looking at the wound on the leg, was also stunned.


    Was this the same wound that was bloody and gory just now?


    The stitching was meticulous!


    Even the petals of the tattooed rose had been taken into account.


    Exquisite!


    Delicate!


    A work of art.


    Combined with that long, white leg, Zheng Guotan exclaimed with emotion, this is Xu Ruoyun¡¯s leg, able to ¡°leg¡± for another year!


    This is more like it!


    Excited, Zheng Guotan blurted out:


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Good!¡±


    The continuous shouts of approval also made Chen Cang quite proud.


    Xu Ruoyun didn¡¯t speak much throughout the event, as she didn¡¯t know what to say. Her situation was quite awkward now, with the mistress beaten by the legitimate party, her mood was down, compounded by the injury to her legs, her emotions had hit a low point today.


    She was set to start shooting a new film soon, and with her leg in that condition, she felt a wave of loss just thinking about it.


    However, at this moment, when she saw the stitched wound on her leg, she was shocked as well ¡ª it looked as good as new?


    Of course not!


    It wasn¡¯t as good as new, in fact, it looked even better than before!


    Chen Cang cleverly placed the inevitable stitch marks on the petals, subtly highlighting them and making the rose look even more beautiful!


    Art!


    Xu Ruoyun couldn¡¯t help but want to look down at her leg, but Chen Cang quickly said:


    ¡°You must not move this leg for the next few days!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve used number four sutures to stitch you up, they¡¯re very finespun, and they will easily break if you apply any force, so you must be very careful, and pay close attention ¡ª no exertion¡­¡±


    ¡°Once it¡¯s healed fairly well, that¡¯ll be okay. But during this time, remember!


    You absolutely must not contaminate it, remember not to get it wet¡­¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s words were very persuasive now!


    Zheng Guotan kept nodding incessantly.


    Xu Ruoyun¡¯s eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor, thank you!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and shook his head.


    [Ding! Secondary task completed: stitch up Xu Ruoyun. Rewards: i. KIM sutures (green); 2. Suturing experience +200; 3. Medical experience +200; 4. Final task triggered, engage Zheng Guotan in a private conversation, and after a careful chat, you¡¯ll receive a hint for the final task.]


    Chen Cang nodded in satisfaction, not bad!


    A rewarding harvest!

 Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Offered an Olive Branch

    Chapter 45: Offered an Olive Branch


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Cang, full of joy, inspected the green item he¡¯d gained. After all, this was what he¡¯d been most looking forward to!


    [KIM Suture Thread: Green quality, Attributes: 1. Tensile Strength +1; 2. Anti-infection +i; Once equipped, any suture threads you use in the future will inherently have these attributes.]


    Chen Cang was delighted!


    Tensile strength is easy to understand!


    It means it¡¯s strong and flexible, not easy to break. This attribute is very important for many types of threads, but it¡¯s especially crucial for certain special functional threads, such as tendon sutures. These threads need to be quite tough, which is currently a difficult point in tendon suturing, hence why wires are used instead. However, wires are not as easy to manipulate or use as threads and are more likely to cause secondary tendon damage, leading to aggravated adhesion!


    So just this one attribute of Tensile Strength *i is quite powerful!


    The second attribute is the same, anti-infection, just as its name suggests, straightforward and dominant! After suturing, the primary concern is infection, and with the presence of this anti-infection property, the probability of infection is directly reduced, making it a great choice.


    And the last reward, the final mission prompt!


    Chen Cang eagerly looked toward Zheng Guotan, but¡­ After a long while, he still didn¡¯t see a question mark appear above his head.


    What¡¯s going on?


    On closer inspection of the prompt, was it to talk privately with Zheng Guotan?


    Was that the condition to trigger the mission?


    With that in mind, Chen Cang decided to give it a try later.


    Zheng Guotan was very happy right now and quickly said, ¡°Everybody, please wait for a moment in the hall. I¡¯ve asked the chef to prepare a meal. Let¡¯s eat before heading back, you¡¯ve all worked hard.¡±


    After calling everyone out, Zheng Guotan lowered his head to look at Xu Ruoyun, ¡°Baby, be good, don¡¯t cry, your husband promises to sort this out for you!¡±


    As the group came out chatting and laughing, the few people inside the room were stunned!


    Especially An Jing!


    She had rubbed her palms warm and was ready to step into action. Are you really coming out to tell me this?


    Isn¡¯t that a bit much?


    With that, An Jing was rather incredulous.


    The suturing¡¯s done????


    How is that possible?


    That¡¯s absolutely impossible!


    Yet, she didn¡¯t dare to go and check; this wasn¡¯t her place, this was property tycoon Zheng¡¯s, and the patient wasn¡¯t just anyone, but the famous actress Xu Ruoyun. No matter how angry she was, she had to hold it in.


    An Jing had initially thought this was an opportunity for her!


    If she could gain Zheng¡¯s endorsement, or satisfy both him and Xu Ruoyun, that would be a huge favor done for her.


    Even the plans for Annie¡¯s cosmetic surgery center to grow and expand were no longer an issue!


    This was a big deal for Annie¡¯s cosmetic surgery center, but not so much for Zheng Guotan.


    In time, if they could get Xu Ruoyun to be an endorser, who knows, maybe Annie¡¯s cosmetic surgery center could go beyond Dongyang Province and onto the national stage.


    The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and upon seeing Yang Tao coming out, An Jing approached him.


    ¡°Director Yang, what exactly happened?¡± An Jing asked quietly.


    Yang Tao calmly said, ¡°This young man is truly talented! No, a genius. You didn¡¯t see the suturing just now, every stitch was a work of art, tsk tsk, the repair was done beautifully. No ordinary person could achieve this, at least I can¡¯t find a second one in Anyang City!¡±


    Yang Tao was a physician at the hospital, but later, like Zhang Zhixin, he entered the plastic surgery field. Over the years, he had become a notable figure in Anyang City, quite famous, now flourishing in both his primary and side businesses.


    An Jing, upon hearing this, found it hard to believe!


    She had seen Xu Ruoyun¡¯s wound with her own eyes and knew enough about it to understand that achieving such a result purely through stitching was practically impossible. At least in the short term, it was unrealistic to find someone capable of that in the entire Anyang City!


    Realizing this, An Jing wore an expression of disbelief, her eyes filled with doubt and dissatisfaction!


    Yang Tao, of course, understood An Jing¡¯s thoughts. It wasn¡¯t just An Jing he was eyeing; Yang Tao was also watching Zheng Guotan¡¯s pockets. In this society, favors were nothing more than transactional affection.


    They were merely ¡°helping¡± each other, each with their own agenda. Otherwise, why would they eagerly assist the wealthy if not for convenience?


    After all, those who flatter are often those who wish to ride.


    Moreover, Yang Tao and An Jing were somewhat colleagues. It¡¯s said that professionals in the same field can be rivals, a sentiment of ¡®May the ways of the Tao not die with me.¡¯


    Yang Tao was far more experienced than An Jing. His ability to assist Chen Cang revealed that this middle-aged, bald man had a capacity and a mindset the young girl could not match.


    Yang Tao had no plans to show An Jing the photos, and he even had a slight urge to see An Jing and Chen Cang on opposing sides.


    After all¡­ with Anyang City being so small, with Annie¡¯s cosmetic surgery business all set up, how should he proceed?


    If An Jing was skilled, then Yang Tao was worldly-wise. He knew An Jing was proud, so he purposely praised Chen Cang.


    Because the more he praised Chen Cang, the more An Jing would naturally dislike him.


    No one could predict the future, but at the very least, Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t end up on the same path as An Jing.


    Sure enough, An Jing was fuming inside. Despite her doubts, there was nothing she could do.


    She even felt her presence there was redundant and stood up to speak to Zheng Guotan, ¡°Mr. Zheng, I¡¯m sorry I couldn¡¯t be of help today. I¡¯ll be heading back now. Call me if you need anything; I¡¯m at your disposal.¡±


    Zheng Guotan nodded with a smile, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard, you have been quite helpful already. Old Chang, see her out, please. Let¡¯s keep in touch. ¡±


    After the pleasantries and seeing off An Jing,


    The other guests also started taking their leave.


    Zheng Guotan nodded and had the butler take care of the farewells. The butler had been with him for over twenty years and knew exactly what to do.


    Chen Cang actually wanted to leave too, but he couldn¡¯t. What was he aiming for after putting in so much effort?


    It was during this time that Qin Xiang approached with a chuckle, ¡°Old Zheng, I¡¯m heading out too.¡±


    Zheng Guotan rose to see him off, ¡°Let me walk you out. Chen, please have a seat for a moment, I have something to discuss with you.¡±


    Qin Xiang greeted Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, right? Let me introduce myself, my name is Qin Xiang, head of the dermatology department at Dongda Affiliated Hospital. I¡¯ll invite you to give a lecture at our place sometime. You can teach those young doctors about the essence of skin suturing. Today was an eye-opening experience. By the way, where are you currently employed?¡±


    Chen Cang was suddenly stunned!


    Dongda Affiliated Hospital? Could it be this coincidental¡­ It was less than a kilometer away from our hospital. So he was the head of dermatology there, no wonder his technique was so proficient¡­


    But then, Chen Cang suddenly remembered something.


    He had just¡­ criticized, no, no, no, rather ¡®advised¡¯ Qin Xiang, urn, and he did so with the attitude of a senior, mixed with a ¡®tough love¡¯ tone.


    At that thought, Chen Cang felt a wave of guilt. The two hospitals were not far apart, and if Qin Xiang decided to look for him at his hospital¡­


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, calming himself.


    Work? Oh, right now L¡­ haven¡¯t found a formal position yet. I¡¯m doing temp work in the ER at the Provincial Second Hospital.¡± Chen Cang said with an awkward smile, sticking to the truth.


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang assumed Chen Cang had just returned to the country and warmly replied, ¡°What? Second Hospital treats talent like this? Would you consider coming to us?¡±


    Chen Cang gave a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll think about it.¡±


    Qin Xiang beamed upon hearing this, ¡°Take your time to think it over! Let¡¯s exchange contact information; I¡¯ll invite you to give a lecture at our place someday!¡±

 Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: Chain Quest Completed!

    Chapter 46: Chain Quest Completed!


    Translator: 549690339


    Chen Cang and Zheng Guotan helped Qin Xiang into the car and were about to leave when they suddenly saw the bald man from earlier hurrying over.


    Running over while gasping for breath, he came up and said panting, ¡°Oh dear, look at my memory, I¡¯m really getting old!¡±


    ¡°This must be Doctor Chen, right? I¡¯m Yang Tao, here is my business card. Let¡¯s keep in touch, and by the way, how should I address you?¡±


    This time, Chen Cang kept his cool, looking at the business card that read Yang Tao: Director of Dermatology at the Municipal People¡¯s Hospital, also the Dean of Shumei Cosmetic Hospital.


    Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m Chen Cang, from the Second Provincial Hospital.¡±


    Yang Tao immediately got excited and said, ¡°Okay, then I won¡¯t disturb Doctor Chen anymore. I¡¯ll visit the Second Hospital when I have time. Call me if you need anything.¡±


    After finishing, Yang Tao smiled at Zheng Guotan, exchanged contact information with Chen Cang, greeted them, and then left.


    Watching the others leave, Zheng Guotan turned to Chen Cang and said, ¡°It was really tough on Doctor Chen today. If it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t have known how to explain myself!¡±


    So many explanations, President Zheng, your family sure has a lot to account for.


    Chen Cang smiled and replied, ¡°No trouble at all, just doing what I can.¡± Zheng Guotan sighed, ¡°Ah¡­ every family has their own tough scripture to chant!¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly realized that Zheng Guotan¡¯s question marks had finally appeared!


    (Ding! Zheng Guotan is somewhat troubled. By having a heartfelt talk with Zheng Guotan, you can obtain a mission from the high-level NPC Zheng Guotan.]


    Chen Cang was taken aback and then accepted the mission.


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°In this life, we¡¯re all just walking the long road of life, tasting the sour, bitter, sweet, spicy, and salty. The good and the bad, we¡¯ll experience them all.¡±


    Zheng Guotan immediately smiled, ¡°You¡¯re quite philosophical for someone so young!¡±


    Chen Cang also smiled, ¡°The emergency department of the hospital sees a lot of life and death, as well as the full range of human emotions. Keeping things simple is true, passion is true, and so are the ups and downs as long as you live your days well, isn¡¯t that enough? Everyone has their problems, right?¡± Suddenly, Zheng Guotan turned around, ¡°Little Chen, I actually have another favor to ask of you. Come back to my house with me.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Isn¡¯t this your house?¡±


    Zheng Guotan gave an embarrassed smile, ¡°That is what feels like home.¡±


    After saying goodbye to Xu Ruoyun and leaving instructions with the housekeeper, Zheng Guotan personally drove Chen Cang out of the villa After driving for more than half an hour, they arrived at a high-end community. This was the most expensive community in Anyang City, with a price of more than thirty thousand per square meter.


    After entering the door, a woman¡¯s voice rang out.


    ¡°Honey, you¡¯re back?¡±


    Chen Cang looked in the direction of the voice and saw an average-looking middle-aged woman in an apron, holding a rag and standing there. Seeing Zheng Guotan come in, she hurriedly brought over slippers.


    Zheng Guotan introduced her, ¡°This is my wife, Zhang Aixiang. Darling, this is Doctor Chen.¡±


    The woman hurriedly smiled and grabbed slippers for Chen Cang.


    The house was very clean, not a speck of dust in sight, and the decor was not extravagant but rather cozy, giving off the feeling of a home.


    Chen Cang quickly greeted, ¡°Nice to meet you, sister-in-law.¡±


    The woman smiled and said, ¡°Come in, 1¡¯11 make some tea.¡±


    Zheng Guotan took off his suit, hung it up, and said, ¡°Honey, make us something to eat, we haven¡¯t had dinner yet.¡±


    The woman nodded with a smile, ¡°Alright!¡±


    As the two of them sat down, Chen Cang grew curious. Zheng Guotan¡¯s wife, Zhang Aixiang, seemed very¡­ amiable, not like someone capable of those deeds?


    And with such a good wife, he still went looking for actresses.


    Chen Cang shook his head, deciding not to think about the reasons any longer. Other people¡¯s family affairs were not his to meddle in! After all, he was just a doctor.


    Sitting there drinking tea, the two chatted casually about this and that, avoiding serious matters, and after half an hour, three dishes were served, smelling delightful.


    The simple home-cooked dishes were laid out, and the pair started eating when Chen Cang noticed for the first time a long scar on Zhang Aixiang¡¯s ¡¯ forehead.


    Usually, Zhang Aixiang¡¯s bangs covered it, but just then, it had become visible. The scar was long, stretching across the entire forehead, and Chen Cang was taken aback by its ferocity.


    Zhang Aixiang seemed to realize and, feeling awkward, hurriedly brushed her hair to cover it up.


    At that moment, Zheng Guotan smiled and said, ¡°Wife, don¡¯t be scared, this is the doctor I found to treat your condition.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and quickly objected, ¡°This, Mr. Zheng, I really can¡¯t help with this, I really don¡¯t know how to perform this surgery¡­¡±


    Indeed, what was needed for such an old scar was not just stitching, but involved the whole skin flap issue, and also many factors related to facial nerves. He¡­ he was still far from capable!


    Zheng Guotan spoke slowly, ¡°The situation is this: I have found an American team to perform the surgery, so don¡¯t worry. What you need to do is just the skin suturing. How about it? 1 won¡¯t blame you whether it¡¯s successful or not!¡± ¡°The surgery isn¡¯t now but in six months¡¯ time. By then, I hope you can help me.¡±


    Ding! Senior NPC Zheng Guotan has issued a task: Participate in Zhang Aixiang¡¯s surgery in six months. Regardless of the outcome, accept to receive rewards: 1. One special training card; 2. A random Skill Book; 3. Experience +3000.


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    Who would have thought the rewards would be so generous?


    What is a special training card for?


    Seeing Chen Cang s hesitation, Zheng Guotan pleaded earnestly, ¡°Dr. Chen, please, my wife¡­ I truly hope she can regain her confidence.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Zheng Guotan¡¯s expression, which was almost like a different person compared to when he was at the villa.


    At the villa, Zheng Guotan had been distressed about Xu Ruoyun, whereas at home, it was the deeply loved Zhang Aixiang.


    After thinking it over for a while, Chen Cang eventually nodded, ¡°Okay, call me when the time comes.¡±


    Zheng Guotan was immediately overjoyed, ¡°Alright, then we will be troubling


    Dr. Chen. Both my wife and 1 are truly grateful to you.¡±


    Ding! Your favorability with Zheng Guotan has increased by +2o!


    Chen Cang was astonished, gaining 20 points of favorability just like that?


    Zheng Guotan was a high-level NPC, and favorability points were quite precious.


    At this point, Zheng Guotan got up and after about a minute, he took out a mooncake box with his left hand and held a stack of money in his right, handing it over, ¡°Dr. Chen, you really put in hard work this morning. Please, take this money.¡±


    Chen Cang, seeing so much money, was dumbfounded. How much was in that stack, at least several tens of thousands?


    Without saying anything, after the meal, Chen Cang smiled and said to Zhang Aixiang, ¡°Sister-in-law, thanks for the hospitality, the food was great. I have to go back to work this afternoon, so I won¡¯t disturb you any longer.¡±


    Zhang Aixiang smiled gently, not saying much.


    To be honest, it was a bit too much money. It was Chen Gang¡¯s first time doing such work, and facing so much money, he felt somewhat at a loss, even though even specialists from the capital coming to Dongyang Province would earn only about ten or twenty thousand, right?


    It was too much!


    Chen Cang wasn¡¯t unaware of the going rates, but¡­ it was his first time facing so much money, and he felt somewhat¡­ conflicted.


    Seeing Chen Cang getting up, Zheng Guotan also stood up and insisted on handing the mooncake box to Chen Cang, ¡°Take it.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s too much!¡±


    Zheng Guotan¡¯s face stiffened, ¡°Dr. Chen, you saw the people this morning, right? They ask for much more! If their skills are worth that price, yours aren¡¯t?¡±


    ¡°Your suturing skills are worth at least this much! Dr. Chen, I see this as a long-term investment. If you don¡¯t accept it, I¡¯ll feel guilty when you do the suturing for my wife in the future!¡±

 Chapter 47 - Chapter 47:I Knew I Wasnt Just a Vase (Big Chapter, Please Support!)

    Chapter 47:I Knew I Wasn¡¯t Just a Vase (Big Chapter, Please Support!)


    Translator: 549690339


    The money was a bit much, and Chen Cang felt its hefty weight in his hand.


    His first-ever ¡°Flying Needle¡± procedure had ended like this, and his first pot of gold was several tens of thousands!


    To him, it felt almost surreal!


    For over twenty years of his life, most of the time he had played the part of an ordinary person, just a regular guy who takes the bus for trips, enjoys soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks in the morning, and whose idea of leisure is to hang out at internet cafes and play games.


    No luxury cars or mansions, no yachts or beauties, let alone mistresses; it was a completely different lifestyle.


    But when he saw that his one-time suturing had earned him an income of nearly tens of thousands, his biggest feeling was one of unreality!


    It was too damn fake.


    I can make several tens of thousands in one day?


    Of course, Chen Cang knew this was just a windfall; he had just happened to


    meet a tycoon.


    The majority of people are ordinary folks.


    After some thought along the way, Chen Cang had come to accept this sum of


    money.


    It breathed some life back into his once dry wallet.


    But¡­ the biggest gain today was not money, but those rewards!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang felt a bit of anticipation.


    By the time he got back to the hospital, it was already past three.


    No sooner had Chen Cang settled down than he heard the system notification


    sound:


    [Ding! Level up to lvi4, skill point +1 obtained!]


    Leveled up?


    Another skill point, Chen Canghadn¡¯t decided where to use it yet, but what he was most curious about now were the two rewards, one being the special training card, and the other, the Skill Book.


    [Special Training Card: After use, you can get one special training opportunity for a designated skill, significantly enhancing your mastery of the skill, increasing your skill ceiling, and obtaining a large amount of skill experience. The specific training effect still requires your effort!]


    Chen Cang thoughtfully looked at the introduction of the special training card, somewhat puzzled as to what exactly it entailed. The specific effects wouldn¡¯t be clear until after use, but for now, it seemed that the card could increase one¡¯s experience with a particular skill.


    The second reward was the Skill Book.


    Yeah, Chen Cang knew about this thing-it was straightforward, easy to understand at a glance, but he didn¡¯t know what kind of Skill Book it was. With that thought, Chen Cang simply clicked to activate it!


    [Ding! Activation successful, Skill Book obtained: Dialysis Technique


    (Advanced)]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    What?


    Ancestral luck of the Chen Family?


    Pretty lucky, huh? Directly obtained an advanced level Dialysis Technique.


    With this in mind, Chen Cang felt delightfully content.


    The rewards from serial tasks were indeed rich; just any Skill Book happened to be an advanced skill.


    Without a second thought, Chen Cang clicked to learn.


    [Ding! Learning successful! ]


    [Dialysis Technique: Advanced, Skill Description: Mastered the common clinical dialysis techniques, including: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and colonic dialysis. Special effect: Preparation of dialysis solutions.]


    Chen Gang¡¯s eyes lit up after reading it.


    I¡¯ve learned all three major dialyses?


    I¡¯m not just a pretty face after all!


    Dialysis has become increasingly used in clinical practice these years, and it¡¯s becoming more popular. Our Second Provincial Hospital even has a dialysis room. However, as an emerging technology, there aren¡¯t many doctors equipped in each dialysis room, and since these dialyses are mainly auxiliary treatments for various clinical departments, they aren¡¯t given much attention. Nevertheless, it¡¯s still quite useful to learn this technique.


    But, the only thing that was slightly disappointing was¡­ doesn¡¯t the special effect seem a bit lame?


    The preparation of dialysis solutions?


    Wiry would I need that?


    Dialysis solutions are bought ready to use; do I need to prepare them myself? At this thought, Chen Cang felt a slight annoyance, but it was still okay, just a minor flaw.


    Right!


    There was one more extremely important treasure: the fortune bag!


    Chen Cang had received a fortune bag after stitching up Zhang Dalong a while ago, and he hadn¡¯t had the heart to open it. Today, finally feeling it had warmed up, and considering his luck was good, he decided to give it a try.


    [Ding! The Little Fortune Bag, with endless possibilities within, do you wish to open the fortune bag?]


    Chen Cang was resolute, of course!


    [Ding! Congratulations, upon opening the fortune bag, you¡¯ve obtained one mission scroll!]


    Chen Cang was startled. A mission scroll?


    [Ding! Based on scene requirements, a challenge mission is auto-generated!]


    Chen Cang was taken aback?


    What does that mean?


    Around six o¡¯clock, when Chen Cang was preparing to leave work, suddenly a message came down!


    ¡°There¡¯s been an issue at the Chemical City outside the western city¡­ The number of injured is too high, and the 120 Emergency Center is asking us to get ready for the rescue!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s 10 minutes to our hospital from the Emergency Center, and multiple patients have abrasions, get ready for hemostasis and suturing!


    When batches of messages arrived from the nurse station, everyone couldn¡¯t help but stand up.


    Emergency medicine, it¡¯s all about being prepared for urgent diagnostics and treatment, ready to be the first line of care before the hospital.


    The head of the emergency department, Li Baoshan, was still in the operating room, and there were two deputy heads of the emergency department: one was An Yanjun, and the other was Zhang Shu from internal medicine.


    Suddenly, all personnel began to prepare!


    Those who were ready to finish their shifts immediately threw themselves into the urgent preparation for work.


    That¡¯s when another phone call came in!


    ¡°Get ready for detoxification work at the Second Provincial Hospital-


    One call after another, like death knells!


    Each additional call signified an increased danger.


    And at that moment, Chen Cang noticed a series of prompts coming:


    [Ding! Mission scroll activated, challenge mission triggered: Generate an Emergency Rescue Mission!]


    [Ding! Within three hours, complete fifty suturing tasks (skin suturing, tendon suturing, and vessel suturing all acceptable), and after completing the tasks, receive rewards: 1.3 skill points; 2.300 experience points; 3-500 yuan. Would you like to start?]


    ps: Uh, there¡¯s not much to say, just¡­ asking for support¡­ hehe.

 Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Emergency Rescue Operations

    Chapter 48: Emergency Rescue Operations


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Zhang Shu, forty-six years old, was a skilled emergency internal medicine physician, adept at diagnosing internal medicine diseases and with a profound understanding of clinical poisoning manifestations, serving as a mainstay in the emergency department.


    Upon hearing the news, Zhang Shu¡¯s heart lurched instantly, Poisoning!


    Chemical!


    Poisoning!


    Blindness!


    When these words were linked together, it meant that this incident was not going to be simple.


    The most common three types of chemical element poisoning are: mercury poisoning, hydrogen sulfide poisoning, and methanol poisoning!


    Each one worse than the last.


    Suddenly, the internal and surgical emergency departments were a flurry of activity!


    Internal medicine was preparing antidotes!


    Surgery was preparing for suturing and hemostasis!


    Everyone plunged into urgent preparations.


    How many people were injured, nobody had any idea!


    Everyone was anxiously preparing for the arrival of the patients.


    The tense atmosphere and oppressive environment made everyone¡¯s hearts


    anxious.


    ¡°They¡¯re here! They¡¯re here!¡±


    ¡°Watch the door! Be careful with the door!


    With the arrival of the 120 emergency service voice, all doctors and nurses


    stood up to welcome them.


    The stretcher was rolled out of the vehicle, lying on it a man, while some people around him were covered in wounds, trying to stop the bleeding with mere tissue paper!


    The vehicle hadn¡¯t yet come to a complete stop when the second one arrived!


    One after another, many patients were brought in, most with various injuries.


    Zhang Shu seeing the man lying on the stretcher, quickly said, ¡°Take him to the resuscitation room!¡±


    The man on the stretcher was taken away by internal medicine, while surgery received a large number of trauma patients in need of bandaging, sutures, and wound cleaning.


    These people had blood on their faces, not knowing whether it was their own or someone else¡¯s, their bodies had more or less some injuries!


    Screams of pain?


    Nonexistent!


    Everyone was very calm, even quiet!


    Because, plainly put, they were survivors, fortunate within the misfortune. At this moment, Li Baoshan rushed into the emergency department hurriedly.


    He addressed everyone saying, ¡°There are quite a few injured this time, and our senior officials have tasked our Second Provincial Hospital with undertaking a portion of the emergency rescue mission. Everyone hurry, more people are coming!¡±


    ¡°internal medicine Team, start checking for the cause of poisoning and begin rescue efforts immediately!¡±


    ¡°Surgical Team, resident physicians in charge of wound cleaning and suturing tasks, all attending physicians and personnel with higher professional titles start the immediate rescue and treatment of the severely injured patients!¡±


    This rescue operation was no longer just the responsibility of the emergency department!


    Upon receiving instructions from higher authorities, the hospital quickly established an emergency response team, and staff from all departments were drawn to assist in the rescue efforts.


    A solemn and oppressive tone pervaded the entire hospital.


    Everyone was assigned clear duties.


    in the treatment room, Chen Cang had already grasped the significance of today¡¯s events.


    With that in mind, Chen Cang immediately activated his mission scroll! [Ding! Countdown begins, suturing task currently remaining 50, countdown: 2 hours 59 minutes¡­]


    Chen Cang took a deep breath and methodically began cleaning wounds and suturing the patient.


    The patient Chen Cang was treating was a typical example, with a roughly 9 cm long gash on his back caused by a steel plate, thankfully the wound wasn¡¯t very deep!


    What he needed now was wound cleaning and suturing.


    Chen Gang¡¯s wound cleaning and skin suturing skills were advanced, making the task smooth and efficient.


    One person could very well complete the suturing, but the speed would be too slow!


    The head nurse kept urging, as it seemed the number of minted was steadily increasing.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t worry about anything else, focusing on treating as quickly as possible.


    Of course, speed did not mean low quality, Chen Cang was not only fast but also delivered high quality!


    The first patient¡¯s wound was somewhat large, Chen Cang expended some effort, but in less than ten minutes he finished and called for someone to rest outside.


    No sooner had he stepped out, than another patient was brought in by a nurse.


    At this moment, there was simply no one available to help Chen Cang, as all the nurses were occupied with emergency care of injured patients.


    The suturing work had to be completed by a single person!


    The second suturing took Chen Cang only five minutes!


    By now, the waiting area was filled with people, each one dusty and disheveled, their clothes and trousers ripped, and despite bandages pressed to wounds, blood continued to ooze.


    Tian Xianglan was hurriedly runningback and forth outside!


    So far, they had received more than a dozen critically injured patients, and the number of ordinary trauma patients was as high as seventy or eighty!


    ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t worry, it will soon be your turn, please maintain order at the scene!¡± Tian Xianglan shouted loudly.


    This won¡¯t do!


    There are too many people, we must call for reinforcements, Tian Xianglan thought, and she promptly went to the nursing department and picked up the phone to call several surgical departments like general surgery, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, urology¡­


    ¡°Emergency needs a few suturing doctors, there are too many patients, I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t hold up if it takes too long.


    ¡°All the doctors have been called away, the rest are the on-duty physicians!¡± the nurse manager on the other end also sounded helpless!


    Surgeries for severely injured patients required more than just one person; they needed a team, with orthopedics, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery-all staff had been assigned duties.


    Tian Xianglan was stunned, ¡°Then¡­¡±


    ¡°Well¡­ dispatch a few more nurses to give the doctors a hand, to help improve work efficiency.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Tian Xianglan waited anxiously but still had to maintain order on the scene, as well as everyone¡¯s emotions.


    At that moment, the notification sounded, ¡°Please, patient number 5, proceed to treatment room number 1 for a dressing change.


    Tian Xianglan¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Patient number 5, follow me!¡±


    After Chen Cang changed the dressings, he clicked on the computer call button, and immediately the next patient came in, as for medical records, who had time to attend to those!


    Three minutes later!


    ¡°Please patient number 6 report to treatment room number 1 for a dressing change.¡±


    Three minutes later!


    Patient number 7 to treatment room number 1¡­


    At that time, Wang Qian in the next room also finished suturing and began calling for patients, but just as his call was heard, Chen Gang¡¯s treatment room started calling again!


    Tian Xianglan was shocked, Chen Gang¡¯s speed was incredibly fast!

 Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Mission Accomplished!

    Chapter 49: Mission Accomplished!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Cang was suturing when a young nurse walked in.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, hello, I¡¯m Li Jia from the general surgery department, here to assist you,¡± said the young nurse, who appeared to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.


    Chen Cang, without turning his head, nodded, ¡°Alright, thanks for the effort.¡±


    His gaze, however, did not leave the patient.


    Five minutes later, Chen Cang finished bandaging and said to Li Jia, ¡°Please call the next patient for me, thanks.¡±


    Li Jia nodded and pressed the call button, ¡°Is there anything else I can do?¡± Chen Cang replied, ¡°Just handle the calling, and also¡­ throw out this trash.¡± On hearing this, Li Jia couldn¡¯t help but be startled, yet she nodded, ¡°Okay.¡± By this time, a whole trash bin had filled up with used suture kits. Li Jia got up to take out the trash and, upon returning, found Chen Cang had already finished with another patient: ¡°Call the next one!¡±


    Li Jia was momentarily taken aback. That fast???


    She then pressed the call button again.


    Chen Cang took a new wound suturing kit and noticed there weren¡¯t many left, so he said to Li Jia, ¡°Go and ask the head nurse to bring fifty wound suturing kits.¡±


    Li Jia was stunned!


    ¡°How many?¡±


    ChenCangreplied, ¡°Fifty!¡±


    Li Jia, bewildered for a moment and seeing there were still seven or eight kits left in the cabinet, quickly got up and rushed out.


    ¡°Head Nurse, Doctor Chen in room one needs suture kits, fifty of them!¡±


    Tian Xianglan, the head nurse, looked around at the many patients, nearly seventy or eighty, and nodded, ¡°Follow me to the storeroom.¡±


    Soon, the two of them returned, pushing a cart with two boxes of suture kits on it.


    In total, there were ninety kits, divided among three treatment rooms, thirty for each.


    After Li Jia came in, she told Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, the head nurse placed thirty in each room.¡±


    Chen Cang uttered an ¡°Mhm¡±: ¡°Call the next one.¡±


    Li Jia nodded.


    At that moment, Li Jia noticed there were only two suture kits left!


    She felt a jolt of panic. She had only been out for about fifteen minutes, hadn¡¯t she? And five were used up? This Doctor Chen was¡­ was he not being too fast? After pressing the call button, Li Jia skillfully picked up the garbage bin, took out the trash, and continued to press the call button¡­


    Chen Gang¡¯s mind was constantly filled with bursts of messages.


    [Ding! Suturing successful, experience gained +10, suturing experience +10¡­] [Ding! Suturing successful, experience gained +10, suturing experience +10¡­]


    About an hour later, Chen Cang turned and found there weren¡¯t many suture kits left!


    He said to Li Jia, ¡°Go and ask the head nurse for more suture kits.¡±


    Li Jia, startled, was about to say they had just restocked, but turning to look, she saw that the table, which had been full of kits, now had only three or five left.


    Feeling as if her eyes were deceiving her, Li Jia quickly got to her feet, ¡°Oh! Alright¡­ ¡±


    Seeing the patients in the hall were dwindling, Tian Xianglan¡¯s anxious heart slowed down a bit. Upon seeing Li Jia come out, she asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Li Jia replied, ¡°Head Nurse, room one has run out of suture kits!¡±


    Tian Xianglan immediately frowned.


    ¡°That Chen Cang, how is he using them? Tell him to conserve, conserve! Others haven¡¯t run out, why has he? Wasteful! Too wasteful! I¡¯m going to have a word with him!¡±


    Li Jia hurriedly explained, ¡°No, Head Nurse, Doctor Chen didn¡¯t waste any, they are really all used up!¡±


    Tian Xianglan frowned and suddenly heard, ¡°Patient number 69, please proceed to treatment room 1.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, follow me to get them!¡±


    Once at the supply room, several people discovered, ¡°There are only a little over twenty suture packs left!¡±


    Tian Xianglan¡¯s frown deepened. Normally, suture packs were collected once a week from the instrument department, enough for a week¡¯s usage. How many had been used today?


    Li Jia couldn¡¯t help but suggest, ¡°Should we check the next treatment room to see if there are any leftover packs?¡±


    Tian Xianglan replied, ¡°Other doctors need them too.¡±


    After hesitating for a moment, Li Jia said, ¡°Prioritize Dr. Chen then. He¡¯s fast and does more suturing!¡±


    Tian Xianglan pondered briefly, ¡°Let¡¯s use up these 20 first. It looks like there aren¡¯t many people left, and we¡¯ll deal with it if there aren¡¯t enough.¡±


    About an hour later!


    After Chen Cang had used up all the suture packs, that same system notification sounded again!


    [Ding! Task Scroll Mission completed! Sutures completed 50/50, Reward received: 1.3 Skill Points, 2.300 Experience Points, 3. RMB +500.]


    Chen Cang was startled, completed?


    He turned to ask Li Jia, ¡°How many sutures are done in total now?¡±


    Li Jia looked at the information registered on the computer, ¡°65.¡±


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°How many patients left?¡±


    Li Jia checked the information on the computer, ¡°Three.¡±


    Chen Cang uttered an ¡°Oh,¡± and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to the restroom, you¡¯ve worked hard, go get some rest early.¡±


    As he stood up, Chen Cang suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, nearly falling to the ground.


    Bending over for suturing had left his waist feeling numb and as if it weren¡¯t his own. It was too uncomfortable, and it took a considerable effort to regain the sensation.


    At that moment, there were hardly any patients left outside.


    Chen Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief. After using the restroom, he felt much more refreshed.


    Just then, Li Baoshan came over and, seeing Chen Cang loitering, couldn¡¯t help but scold him with a dark face, ¡°Are you done? There¡¯s still time to loiter around.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and turned to see Li Baoshan, ¡°Director? Oh, we¡¯ve run out of suture packs over there. There were only two or three patients left, my back was sore, so I was just stretching a bit.¡±


    Li Baoshan glared at Chen Cang, ¡°Even Qin Yue, a young lady, doesn¡¯t complain of fatigue. You¡¯re a young man, aren¡¯t you ashamed!¡±


    Chen Cang just sheepishly smiled without any explanation.


    When Tian Xianglan saw Li Baoshan approaching, she went over, ¡°Director, we¡¯ve almost finished with the trauma suturing.¡±


    Li Baoshan was surprised, ¡°That quickly? How many people sutured?¡±


    Tian Xianglan replied, ¡°Just Chen Cang, Qin Yue, and Wang Qian, three of them.¡±


    Li Baoshan couldn¡¯t help but frown at Chen Cang again, ¡°Xiao Chen, you¡¯ve got to learn from Qin Yue. She is so dedicated even though she is a young lady. In the ER, you need to look after the female comrades.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tian Xianglan defended Chen Cang, ¡°Director, you¡¯re blaming Xiao Chen unjustly. Xiao Chen alone sutured 65 patients, and there were a total of 103. He sutured more patients by himself than Wang Qian and Qin Yue did together!¡±


    After hearing this, Li Baoshan¡¯s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief, but¡­a leader is a leader, quick to adapt! His expression changed, ¡°Fast? Is fast enough? Is medical work about speed? You must also be thorough!¡±


    Li Jia, standing by, felt somewhat indignant for Chen Cang and defended him, ¡°Director, you are misjudging Dr. Chen. His sutures are very well done. I¡­I saw it with my own eyes.¡±


    Li Baoshan was immediately at a loss for words.


    Tian Xianglan asked, ¡°Director, what brings you here?¡±


    Li Baoshan informed her, ¡°I¡¯m going to check on the internal medicine department in the ER. There are said to be over a dozen poisoning cases, some mild, some severe. We need to get in touch with the dialysis room, and the serious ones will need dialysis!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Gang¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Director, I¡¯ll go with you to see if I can be of any help.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, his gaze softening a bit as he looked at Chen Cang.

 Chapter 50 - Chapter 50:I Can Do Peritoneal Dialysis!

    Chapter 50:I Can Do Peritoneal Dialysis!


    Translator 549690339


    At this moment, inside the resuscitation room, all eight emergency beds were occupied with patients!


    They lay there, moaning continuously.


    ¡°Doctor, save me!¡±


    ¡°Doctor¡­ I feel so unwell, my head hurts so much!


    ¡°Where am I¡­ Save me, I¡¯m going to die, why can¡¯t I see anything!¡± Upon entering the resuscitation room, wails of distress immediately filled the air, sounding low-pitched and feeble.


    Zhang Shu, upon seeing Li Baoshan come in, hurried over: ¡°Director, you¡¯ve arrived!¡±


    Li Baoshan urgently asked, ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡±


    Zhang Shu said seriously, ¡°The situation¡­ is not promising!¡±


    ¡°After a thorough examination, these patients with poisoning are experiencing tachycardia, and some even have varying degrees of myocarditis, ST-segment abnormalities, and serious cases of kidney failure. Three of the patients have optic disc hyperemia, optic disc retinal edema, and vision field defects! Moreover, they¡¯re suffering from severe metabolic acidosis!¡±


    Li Baoshan felt disheartened upon hearing this, as all signs were pointing towards one diagnosis!


    Li Baoshan: ¡°Methanol poisoning?¡±


    Zhang Shu nodded: ¡°Yes, methanol poisoning. And several of them are severely poisoned!¡±


    Li Baoshan turned to examine the patients: ¡°Give me the lab reports.¡±


    A doctor handed over the medical records, and the more Li Baoshan looked, the more worried he became!


    After about ten minutes, Li Baoshan finished examining each patient again and asked, ¡± Have they had their stomachs pumped? What medications were used afterward?¡±


    Zhang Shu nodded: ¡°All of them have been. We used 1% sodium bicarbonate, and after that, we administered a 4% sodium bicarbonate 250ml intravenous drip to correct the acidosis, along with 20% mannitol 250ml plus tomg dexamethasone intravenous drip to prevent cerebral edema.¡±


    ¡°But¡­ six of the patients¡¯ conditions are quite critical, they might need dialysis. They have already been sent to the hemodialysis room, but now I¡¯m worried about patients in beds 3 and 7; they have already slipped into a light coma.¡± Li Baoshan: ¡°I¡¯ll ask other hospitals if they have any dialysis machines available!¡±


    After saying this, Li Baoshan picked up the phone to make inquiries: ¡°Old Chen, it¡¯s me, Li Baoshan. Do you have any spare dialysis machines at your hospital? No? Alright, thanks¡­¡±


    He made four or five calls, but every hospital capable of dialysis was occupied!


    What to do?


    Li Baoshan was becoming anxious when suddenly he remembered something.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t the hospital just buy a few peritoneal dialysis machines?¡±


    With that thought, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed Director Hao¡¯s number: ¡°Director Hao, it¡¯s Li Baoshan. Can we use the new peritoneal dialysis machines now? The poisoning cases are severe, dialysis is imperative, but the hemodialysis room is full, and the patients can¡¯t afford to wait!¡± Hao Xuliang sighed: ¡°The peritoneal dialysis machines have been brought in, and they can be used; we¡¯ve tested them. However, they haven¡¯t been officially put into use, and the doctors have also been sent out for training.¡± Li Baoshan, covering the phone, looked at Zhang Shu and asked, ¡°Do you know how to perform peritoneal dialysis?¡±


    Zhang Shu blushed slightly and shook her head: ¡°I¡¯ve only seen others do it, never done it myself.¡±


    Hao Xuliang¡¯s voice came through: ¡°Baoshan, don¡¯t panic. Why don¡¯t you ask other hospitals if they have any extra staff to spare and send two over?¡¯ Li Baoshan replied, ¡°I just called other hospitals, they¡¯re all busy now, there are quite a few poisoning cases this time.


    ¡°How about this, Director Hao? I¡¯ll give it a try. Although I haven¡¯t specialized in it, I¡¯ve seen it done enough times. What if I try to do it?


    Hearing this, Hao Xuliang was immediately startled: ¡°Baoshan, don¡¯t mess around! Do you take dialysis as a joke? We need to get consent from the relatives first! Who is responsible if something goes wrong?¡±


    For a moment, the room fell into silence!


    Everyone was in a dilemma!


    Li Baoshan felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness! What does it mean to realize the necessity of knowledge only when it¡¯s needed? This feeling is most evident when studying medicine!


    When a living patient is placed before you, and you discover that your skills are insufficient to provide effective diagnosis and treatment for the patient, the feeling of helplessness and frustration is incomparable to anything else at any time.


    Thus, the true learning for a medical student is not during undergraduate, postgraduate, or even doctoral studies, but during the clinical period! Although Chen Cang had not pursued postgraduate studies, his clinical abilities were not inferior to those who had!


    After all, the clinic is the best teacher!


    What to do?


    The students nearby were almost crying out of urgency.


    They finally found a peritoneal dialysis machine, but no one knew how to use it! Li Baoshan¡¯s hand gripping the phone showed bulging veins, and his brows were tightly knit. What to do! What to do!


    Hao Xuliang, hearing Li Baoshan¡¯s silent, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Baoshan, it¡¯s not that 1 won¡¯t let you use it, but I¡¯m considering your situation. You¡¯re an established doctor, you understand the rationale better than me. I¡¯m not stopping you, but if you can find someone who knows how to do peritoneal dialysis, I¡¯ll take the responsibility!¡±


    Li Baoshan remained silent!


    Where to find someone who knows how to do peritoneal dialysis?


    The technology of peritoneal dialysis only started to emerge in the 199os, and it was only then that the world adopted this technology!


    It hasn¡¯t been introduced to China for very long, and many hospitals still have not popularized the technology of peritoneal dialysis!


    Peritoneal dialysis is usually used by the nephrology department to treat diseases such as uremia and renal failure.


    However, peritoneal dialysis can also be used to treat severe cases of methanol poisoning, with an apparent effect through dialysis!


    And there is a significant difference between peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis!


    That is, peritoneal dialysis carries a higher risk!


    Peritoneal dialysis is prone to infection, leading to peritonitis. Patients are at high risk of acute infectious inflammation within the abdominal cavity due to contamination, gastrointestinal inflammation, catheter-related infections, and iatrogenic procedures during peritoneal dialysis treatment.


    So, this is not the same as administering an IV or giving injections!


    If you know, you know!


    If you don¡¯t, you simply don¡¯t!


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°Director, 1 know howto perform peritoneal dialysis!¡±


    Chen Gang¡¯s voice was not loud, but it resonated like thunder, capturing the attention of everyone in the quiet emergency room!


    Li Baoshan turned around, his eyes filled with urgency, as if he had seen a savior!


    ¡°What did you say?¡±


    Chen Cang slowly repeated, ¡°I said I know how to perform peritoneal dialysis.¡± Li Baoshan¡¯s gaze was intense: ¡°Are you sure?


    ChenCang: ¡°I¡¯m sure!¡±


    Li Baoshan turned, picked up the phone, and said to Hao Xuliang, ¡°Dean Hao, I found someone who knows how to do peritoneal dialysis!¡±


    Hao Xuliang upon hearing this said, ¡°Wait for me! I¡¯m coming downstairs. I¡¯ll take you to the dialysis room.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, everyone looked at Chen Cang, their eyes filled with disbelief!


    Because Chen Cang was just an ordinary, unremarkable junior doctor, a temp worker at a big hospital like the Second Provincial Hospital, hardly able to withstand any storm or attract attention.


    Zhang Shu was somewhat uneasy. She looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Chen, this isn¡¯t a time to joke. How sure are you?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°One hundred percent!¡±


    Li Baoshan: ¡°Good!¡±

 Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: Show Off Skills (Part 1)

    Chapter 51: Show Off Skills (Part 1)


    Translator: 549690339


    This rescue mission is of utmost importance, and every medical worker must be fully alert and attentive!


    Of course, inevitably, some leaders will avoid participating due to special reasons.


    After all, a hospital is a complex institution, and many who are responsible for administrative work do not get involved in medical events.


    Although Hao Xuliang is a deputy director in charge, he is also a medical backbone. He cannot afford to be less attentive, almost constantly communicating with relevant departments on how to carry out rescue operations in an orderly manner.


    A few minutes later, Hao Xuliang rushed into the resuscitation room and asked Li Baoshan, ¡°Baoshan, have you found the person? Where are they?¡±


    Li Baoshan pointed at Chen Cang, ¡°This is our department¡¯s doctor, Chen Cang. He knows how to use the peritoneal dialysis machine.¡±


    Hao Xuliang¡¯s eyes narrowed instantly as he glanced at Chen Cang, then turned to stare at Li Baoshan, ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang. He knew Chen Cang because he was the one who recruited him. He was very knowledgeable about Chen Gang¡¯s character. This person was very reliable. In over two years of work, he had made zero mistakes, never slacked off or cut corners, and was always low-key.


    Since he said he could do it, Li Baoshan trusted that he could.


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sure.¡±


    Hao Xuliang turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Where did you learn it?¡±


    Chen Cang answered honestly, ¡°I learned it during my university days at the Eastern Medical University. I interned at the Sixth Hospital of the Sea City, where I spent over three months in the peritoneal dialysis room. They needed to do peritoneal dialysis every day, and that¡¯s where I learned it.¡±


    It was all true, but¡­ staying there for three months meant he only knew some basic operations.


    Hao Xuliang was still somewhat uneasy and cautioned, ¡°Young man, human life is of paramount importance; there is no room for carelessness or falsehood, do you understand?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°I understand!¡±


    Hao Xuliang immediately gave the order, ¡°Let¡¯s go, to the dialysis room!¡±


    Peritoneal dialysis is neither very difficult nor very easy. It¡¯s really not difficult for those who have experience, but it¡¯s definitely going to be a problem for those who haven¡¯t done it before if they attempt it rashly.


    Learning this doesn¡¯t take long, so Hao Xuliang and Li Baoshan still believed him.


    Moreover, this was not the time to be indecisive.


    The group pushed the poisoned patient straight to the dialysis room, which was a newly opened area in the hospital with no one around.


    At this point, Hao Xuliang was still somewhat conflicted, what if something went wrong?


    Suddenly he remembered an old classmate and immediately made a phone call.


    ¡°Old Yang, it¡¯s Hao Xuliang here. I¡¯ve got a situation that I need you to oversee and help with!¡±


    The other party asked directly, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°We have a patient in our hospital who needs peritoneal dialysis, but there¡¯s no one available who knows how. An ER doctor claims to know, but I¡¯m still not at ease. I¡¯m planning to set up a remote video conference so your hospital¡¯s peritoneal dialysis specialist can supervise it, what do you think?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Old Yang suddenly asked, ¡°Is it a poisoning patient from the chemical city explosion?¡±


    Hao Xuliang nodded, ¡°Yes, we can¡¯t delay!¡±


    Old Yang agreed, ¡°Prepare the video conference, we¡¯ll connect in a few minutes.¡±


    Hao Xuliang hung up, his eyes suddenly brightening!


    With remote expert guidance, and Chen Cang already knowing a bit, there shouldn¡¯t be a big problem, right?


    At this point, Hao Xuliang immediately picked up the phone and spoke to the security department, ¡°Go to the sixth floor and bring down the remote conference TV from there, send it to the dialysis room!¡±


    After fifteen minutes or so, everything was ready!


    The remote video conference TV was quite large, over two meters long, and could essentially replicate the scene at a one-to-one scale. Through the camera, the peritoneal dialysis operation could be seen quite clearly by the other party.


    The emergence of remote video conferencing is mainly to facilitate case discussions, consultations, and surgical demonstrations between different hospitals.


    The video link was successful!


    Face to face, the figure of a man in his fifties and a woman in her forties appeared on the TV.


    Hao Xuliang greeted them, ¡°Director Yang, thank you for your efforts! We appreciate your assistance.¡±


    The man smiled warmly, ¡°No problem, this is Xu Aiping, the deputy director of our hospital¡¯s peritoneal dialysis room. Let her guide you.¡±


    Hao Xuliang turned to Chen Cang and said, ¡°Are you ready to begin?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded!


    The peritoneal dialysis began!


    Peritoneal dialysis is a method that uses the body¡¯s own peritoneum as the dialysis membrane.


    By flowing dialysis fluid into the peritoneal cavity, it exchanges solutes and water with the blood plasma in the capillaries on the other side of the peritoneum, thus removing retained metabolic products and excess fluid from the body, while also replenishing substances essential to the body through the dialysis fluid.


    At this time, the patient was already suffering from kidney failure and needed a metabolic substitute for the kidneys. This was achieved by continuously renewing the peritoneal dialysis fluid, achieving the purpose of renal replacement or supportive therapy.


    During peritoneal dialysis treatment, the peritoneal dialysis catheter is used to infuse the peritoneal dialysis fluid into the abdominal cavity. On one side of the peritoneum in the abdominal cavity is the blood, filled with waste and excess water, while on the other side is the peritoneal dialysis fluid. The waste and excess water from the blood pass through the peritoneum into the dialysis fluid.


    After a period, the peritoneal dialysis fluid containing waste and excess fluid is drained from the abdominal cavity, and new peritoneal dialysis fluid is infused, thus continuing the cycle.


    Operating a peritoneal dialysis machine is not troublesome; the main thing is the first step¡ªcatheter insertion!


    Catheter insertion is the most important and crucial step in peritoneal dialysis!


    It directly affects the success rate of peritoneal dialysis, and an excellent catheter insertion procedure can significantly reduce adverse reactions of peritoneal dialysis surgery.


    There are two common methods for peritoneal catheterization: laparoscopic and open surgical placement.


    And now, Chen Cang had only one option before him, which was the open surgical catheter placement.


    It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t know how to perform laparoscopic catheter insertion, but because there was no laparoscope available at the moment!


    As Hao Xuliang said, since this facility had not yet been fully developed, all the laparoscopes were in the operating rooms and had not yet been allocated to this area!


    In reality, catheter insertion is also a type of minor surgical procedure.


    On the video call, Xu Aiping seemed to realize that Chen Cang was going to use surgical catheter placement and said, ¡°This traditional open surgical method requires the operator to have solid basic surgical skills! And¡­ skilled catheter insertion technique! There must not be any errors!¡±


    ¡°Because any mistake during catheter insertion can affect the patient¡¯s recovery and may even cause very serious adverse reactions, such as¡­ peritonitis¡­¡±


    Chen Cang turned a deaf ear!


    He opened the catheter package, prepared the surgical instruments, and began the operation!


    The catheter room next to the peritoneal dialysis room was not very different from an operating room; it had everything needed!


    Make the incision!


    Chen Cang chose to make an incision of about 3 centimeters to the left of the navel.


    After making the markings, extensive disinfection was needed!


    The area involved in peritoneal dialysis was too large; essentially from below the chest to above the groin had to be disinfected, and even more so to the midaxillary lines on both sides.


    Anesthesia!


    Local anesthesia!


    Since there was no one else, Chen Cang had to do all the work by himself!


    He carefully cut through the skin and separated the subcutaneous fat to reach the anterior sheath!


    At this moment, Chen Cang held his breath and lifted the anterior sheath.


    At this time, all abdominal muscles were exposed!


    Bluntly separate the muscles!


    Next, Chen Cang took a deep breath, lifted the peritoneum, and at that moment, Xu Aiping on the video screen held her breath too.


    She dared not disturb!


    Because at this moment it was essential to be careful, absolutely not to damage the greater omentum or the intestines.


    Any injury could easily lead to infection!


    The most important aspect of peritoneal dialysis is the control of details. Xu Aiping, in her forties, now used mainly laparoscopic catheter insertion because it carries less risk, whereas open surgical catheter placement demands high surgical skill from the operator, is more prone to infection, causes larger incisions, and is not conducive to recovery, among many other factors.


    But!


    It is undeniable that an excellent surgeon prefers open surgical catheter placement because it is precise!


    What does this mean?


    If laparoscopic and traditional surgeries were scored, open surgical catheter placement would have a perfect score of too, while laparoscopic catheter placement could only achieve 70 at best. Traditional surgery can be perfect, while laparoscopic surgery is fundamentally judged on passing the bar!


    ps: There¡¯s more to come, keep flipping through the pages, yes, that¡¯s right!

 Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Show Off Skills (Part 2)

    Chapter 52: Show Off Skills (Part 2)


    Translator: 549690339 |


    In the peritoneal dialysis room, everyone had donned surgical gowns and stood around, not knowing what to do, a bit awkward!


    Especially Comrade Li Baoshan, the veteran!


    As a renowned doctor, he did not know what to do, which was quite an embarrassing situation.


    But seeing that Chen Cang seemed overwhelmed, Li Baoshan, having already changed into his surgical attire, simply went over and said, ¡°Shall I help you?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Thankyou, Director, please hold the clamps for me.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded.


    Hao Xuliang, the Hospital Director, also came from a surgical background, but he had gone into administration, and half of his skills were lost!


    Nevertheless, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll prepare the instruments for you!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I appreciate it, Director Hao.¡±


    Hao Xuliang smiled, ¡°No trouble at all¡­¡±


    And so, the most prestigious operation ever performed in the Second Provincial Hospital began, with the famous provincial doctor Li Baoshan holding retractors and the Deputy Director Hao Xuliang passing instruments!


    However, Chen Cang did not get carried away. He knew that this kind of fame could only last for three years.


    By now, Li Baoshan had lost his earlier nervousness. Surgical procedures may vary, but the principles stay the same, and Old Li knew the human anatomy better than his own face.


    Although he did not know how to perform a peritoneal dialysis catheter placement, it was only because he had never learned it.


    Moreover, he had seen pigs run, even if he hadn¡¯t eaten pork before, right?


    After this time, Li Baoshan was determined to make sure everyone in his department learned peritoneal dialysis!


    Chen Cang cautiously said, ¡°Pull it closer, I am going to make the incision.¡±


    Li Baoshan was very cooperative.


    Chen Cang was meticulous and focused because the incision needed to be as small as possible to avoid leakage.


    Chen Cang instructed, ¡°Lift the peritoneum, lift it together, I¡¯ll count to three -1,2,3!¡±


    ¡°Be very careful not to clamp the omentum or the intestines; don¡¯t touch them!¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded earnestly, like a medical student who never stops learning, facing his senior physician.


    Chen Cang repeatedly admonished, ¡°Lift it properly.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded!


    As Chen Cang turned to get the needle and thread for suturing, he saw that Director Hao had already prepared it and handed it over.


    Chen Cang nodded in approval and began the purse-string suture of the peritoneum. Chen Cang was very professional and meticulous about suturing; during the whole procedure, he ensured that the needle and thread did not catch the omentum or intestines to prevent possible displacement or adhesion of the catheter!


    After completing the suturing, Chen Cang picked up the peritoneal dialysis catheter and carefully inspected it.


    He soaked both cuffs thoroughly, squeezing out the air inside to facilitate tissue adhesion with the cuffs.


    This also reduced the chances of leakage and infection!


    Upon seeing this, Xu Aiping nodded at Director Yang and said with a smile, ¡°This young doctor is very professional! And¡­ the most important thing is that he seems to have a special sense for surgery, his grasp of the details is very precise; he has paid attention to all the important points. But¡­ I bet he hasn¡¯t performed many catheter insertions. To reach this level, it¡¯s all down to talent! And such talent is really rare!¡±


    ¡°This is a young man with a great sense for surgery!¡±


    Old Yang was stunned to hear such high praise from Xu Aiping.


    When placing the guidewire, Chen Cang deliberately left 2cm at the distal end to avoid damaging the organs and tissues within the abdominal cavity.


    The final step!


    Inserting the peritoneal dialysis catheter!


    Chen Cang lightly touched the peritoneum and gently inserted the peritoneal dialysis catheter along the abdominal wall, a process that relied entirely on feel!


    A sensation of emptiness came, okay!


    He secured the inner cuff and gently withdrew the guidewire.


    At this point, Li Baoshan could only look on; he simply did not know what to do.


    Chen Cang said, ¡°100ml of saline plus heparin¡­¡±


    Hao Xuliang was startled, then nodded quickly, beginning to prepare!


    It was a success!


    Chen Cang took a deep breath.


    He was somewhat nervous!


    Not because the surgery was particularly difficult, but because the procedures were so delicate that they required his full command to avoid complications.


    Every step was tense and exhilarating!


    Next was to close the peritoneum.


    He thought about gently lifting the peritoneum and tightening the purse-string below the inner cuff¡­ tie a knot!


    Finally, it was the subcutaneous tunnel; guided by a tunnel needle, he created a shallow arc along the natural path of the catheter to the left of the incision, brought out the peritoneal dialysis catheter, and connected it to the titanium connector and the short tube on the outside.


    Suture!


    Suture the subcutaneous fat and the skin!


    Li Baoshan stood there, watching Chen Gang¡¯s step-by-step operation, and nodded to himself in approval!


    Although he didn¡¯t understand the peritoneal dialysis catheter placement procedure, he understood surgery!


    Chen Gang¡¯s operation was meticulous!


    Quick eyes, steady hands, and careful attention to detail!


    These are the natural gifts required in an excellent surgeon!


    After covering the wound with a dressing, Chen Cang grinned, ¡°Success!¡±


    Next was to proceed with dialysis treatment through the peritoneal dialysis machine.


    It went smoothly!


    At this moment, Xu Aiping smiled in the video, ¡°Director Hao, this doctor has a delicate technique, skilled technic, rich experience in catheter placement, and a firm grasp on the key points of peritoneal dialysis. This catheter placement is a standard case of surgical anatomical placement, and I even want to use this video as teaching material for my students!¡±


    Because this operation was basically a textbook case, devoid of the ¡°slick¡± maneuvers and habits of older doctors, it was a pristine surgical anatomical catheter placement.


    That¡¯s right!


    Pristine!


    This adjective is the most appropriate to describe Chen Gang¡¯s surgery just now!


    ¡°So there is no need for me to advise, this doctor can entirely assist the patient with peritoneal dialysis. However¡­ we should exchange insights when we get a chance. I noticed that this young doctor has made significant achievements in peritoneal dialysis catheter placement, perhaps we could have a discussion sometime.¡±


    Old Yang too couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Director Hao, are you showing off to me? Haha, alright then, I wish you smooth work, and we have things to take care of.¡±


    Hao Xuliang felt a sense of pride, ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Director Yang, Director Xu!¡±


    His gaze at Chen Cang was filled with gratification once again.


    After speaking, he turned off the video.


    Leaving a group of people standing there, dumbfounded!


    It was a bit¡­ inconceivable, marveling at the feat!


    Yes, that¡¯s right!


    No one had expected Chen Cang to be capable of performing peritoneal dialysis.


    [Ding! Li Baoshan¡¯s affection +5.]


    Chen Cang felt elated; Old Li¡¯s affection had climbed even higher. However¡­ today he achieved a small victory: assisting Li Baoshan, a nice feeling worth savoring.


    At this very moment, everyone on the scene looked at Chen Cang differently.


    Who would have thought that at such a critical juncture, it would be Chen Cang, the temp, who stepped forward!


    Hao Xuliang also came over and nodded at Chen Cang, ¡°Not bad! Very good indeed, your name is Chen Cang, right? Our hospital needs talents like you.¡±


    Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile, ¡°Director Hao, it¡¯s what I ought to do¡­ I also hope to become a member of our hospital!¡±


    Implied meaning: if only you could sort out my staff position sooner¡­ I¡¯m still a temp.


    [Ding! Vice Director Hao Xuliang¡¯s affection +5.]


    Next, Chen Cang continued to the second patient¡¯s peritoneal dialysis catheter placement, and this time Li Baoshan took up the role of the assistant voluntarily.


    This time it went smoothly, actually, the catheter placement was not difficult; it only seemed challenging because it hadn¡¯t been done before. But the three of them coordinated perfectly!


    With the catheter placement complete, they could now proceed to dialysis.


    The placement for the two patients was completed, and the mood among those present gradually started to relax.


    The Second Provincial Hospital was one of the main bases for the rescue work, but the heaviest burden didn¡¯t lie here. It was a thousand meters away at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dongda.


    The First Affiliated Hospital of Dongda had always been the largest emergency rescue base and a critical emergency center for the entire Anyang City.


    At this moment, the First Affiliated Hospital of Dongda was a hive of activity!


    After all, most of the critically ill patients had been brought to this hospital.


    WangXiangjun, the Chief of Emergency at the Municipal People¡¯s Hospital, was already sweating bullets from his workload!


    This place bore the lion¡¯s share of responsibility for the rescue work, and the entire hospital¡¯s emergency department was, in fact, the largest in Anyang City.


    It was also the first hospital in Dongyang Province to have a peritoneal dialysis machine!


    At this moment, what Wang Xiangjun regretted most was not having properly learned the cloning technique in school; otherwise, he could have managed the workload now!


    Several critically ill patients lying on the hospital beds needed immediate surgery!


    The whole surgical department of the hospital had entered into overdrive!


    And at this time, a doctor from the peritoneal dialysis room came rushing over, ¡°Chief! We¡¯re almost out of dialysate!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangjun flared up, ¡°If it¡¯s out, then go find the Head Nurse or the Pharmacy Department to restock immediately, what do you need me for!¡±


    The doctor sighed helplessly, ¡°Chief, it¡¯s not that the peritoneal dialysis room is out, it¡¯s the whole hospital. We¡¯re running low on both peritoneal dialysate and hemodialysis fluid, and currently, we still need to perform peritoneal dialysis for at least eight patients!¡±


    WangXiangjun¡¯s expression changed dramatically at this revelation, ¡°Hold on, you wait for me!¡±


    ps: It¡¯s a new week again, and as an old hand, I¡¯m brazenly asking for rewards. The signing list now mainly relies on rewards to rank, and I too wish to bask in the joy of appearing on it. I¡¯m relying on all the generous support of my readers. Rest assured, all rewards will be met with additional chapters, with one extra chapter for every 10,000 received, and promises will be kept when the book is published (I keep a notebook for this), thank you, and please lend your support.

 Chapter 53 - Chapter 53:I will!

    Chapter 53:I will!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Wang Xiangjun picked up the phone and dialed the vice president in charge directly, speaking in a rush, ¡°Vice President Tian, we urgently need dialysis fluid now, peritoneal dialysis fluid, and blood dialysis fluid!¡±


    Tian Kai paused and asked in a calm and deliberate tone, ¡°The hospital has run out?¡±


    For some reason, hearing Tian Kai¡¯s tone, Wang Xiangjun felt his anger rising, with the whole hospital in such chaos, ¡°Gone! If we had any, would I be calling you? Right now, seven or eight patients are waiting to use it. Vice President Tian, you need to think of a solution fast, see if you can get the manufacturer to send some over.¡±


    Hearing the harshness in Wang Xiangjun¡¯s voice, Tian Kai frowned and said, ¡°Okay, fine, that¡¯s settled then.¡±


    Wang Xiangjun urged, ¡°Quickly, do you have any idea how many people are waiting for this? Don¡¯t you know so many drug representatives and manufacturers? Now is the time to have them deliver it!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tian Kai became serious, ¡°Watch your language. The hospital has a unified process for medication; it¡¯s my responsibility, not my privilege! The hospital has rules and regulations; we can¡¯t just contact the manufacturers at will!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun was already furious, and upon hearing this sanctimonious fat pig, he got even more agitated, ¡°Tian Kai, I¡¯m telling you, right now, many people in the whole hospital are waiting for dialysis fluid to save their lives. All you¡¯re good for is wining and dining with drug reps all day long, and accepting kickbacks for medications? But you can¡¯t get medications delivered to the hospital? As a vice president, do you not even establish emergency plans for the hospital? I¡¯m telling you, Tian Kai, if we can¡¯t find the dialysis fluid and something goes wrong, watch me report you to the Provincial Health Commission tomorrow!¡±


    Having said that, Wang Xiangjun hung up the phone!


    Actually¡­ what did the shortage of dialysis fluid have to do with Tian Kai? If he said there was some, there would be, and if he said there wasn¡¯t, there wouldn¡¯t be, but Wang Xiangjun just couldn¡¯t stand his attitude.


    After hanging up, Wang Xiangjun couldn¡¯t help but mutter: These damned administrative types, doing nothing all day but throwing their weight around, earning a higher salary than us and reaping benefits no matter what, gorging on kickbacks from pharmaceuticals!


    Faced with such a big issue, they¡¯re still at home, and just thinking about it made Wang Xiangjun¡¯s liver ache with frustration!


    Damn it!


    But, even though the call was ended and the complaints were made, the anger remained unresolved.


    Most importantly, the problem was still unsolved!


    What to do if there¡¯s none left?


    Borrow it, of course!


    With this thought, he picked up the phone and started calling hospitals one by one!


    ¡°Director Zhang, do you have any spare dialysis fluid? Ah? You¡¯re using it too, I¡¯m really sorry!¡±


    ¡°Director Wang, do you have any spare¡­ Oh, my apologies, you must be tired!¡± He made several calls in rapid succession, but there was not a single one available!


    Just then, the phone rang; it was Tian Kai. Wang Xiangjun frowned but answered the call.


    ¡°Look, Xiangjun, don¡¯t panic, everyone is anxious about this. Although I am the vice president in charge, I¡¯m not too familiar with the details of these things. I just had someone look into it, and the hospital doesn¡¯t have any ready-to-use dialysis fluid left, but we do have some raw material powder¡­ I¡¯ve also called the manufacturers, and at best, it will take three hours for the delivery¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangjun frowned, ¡°Three hours¡­ Vice President Tian, please push them, we can wait but the patients cannot! Dry powder¡­¡±


    The call reached Li Baoshan¡¯s hands just as he and Chen Cang had finished placing a catheter. Seeing it was Wang Xiangjun calling, he quickly answered: ¡°Director Wang, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Wang Xiangjun asked straightaway, ¡°Old Li, do you have any spare peritoneal and blood dialysis fluid? Our hospital doesn¡¯t have much left! There are several patients waiting to use it now!¡±


    Li Baoshan¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Let me ask around!¡±


    He turned to Hao Xuliang and asked, ¡°President Hao, how much dialysis fluid do we have left, blood and peritoneal?¡±


    Hao Xuliang frowned, ¡°We usually don¡¯t keep a large reserve of these things; I guess there¡¯s not much. Our hospital needs it too; we really can¡¯t spare any!¡± Indeed, dialysis fluid can¡¯t be stored too long, so hospitals generally don¡¯t stock too much, and even when storing, they only keep some dry powder.


    Li Baoshan immediately frowned and said to Wang Xiangjun, ¡°Xiangjun, we don¡¯t have any spares! Our patients are using it now!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun let out a sigh, ¡°Alright then¡­¡±


    Hearing that his last hope had been dashed, Wang Xiangjun couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Then¡­ do any of you know how to prepare dialysis fluid?¡±


    Even as he asked the question, Wang Xiangjun held no hope because in their hospital, hardly anyone mixed the dialysis themselves, let alone in the Second Provincial Hospital¡­


    Since Li Baoshan was in surgery, the call was on speaker, and suddenly, everyone in the operating room could hear it.


    For a moment, everyone fell silent!


    In these critical moments, not a single part of the hospital¡¯s operation could fail!


    After a wave of regret, what prevailed among everyone was a sense of helplessness.


    Li Baoshan was taken aback. Where could we find such talent? Our hospital has only used dialysis fluid for a few days, and those in the nephrology department who know how to operate the peritoneal dialysis machine have all gone out for further training¡­


    For a moment, silence fell around them!


    But at this time!


    Chen Cang received a mission prompt!


    [Ding! Senior NPC Wang Xiangjun issues a mission: Dialysis Fluid Crisis. Mission prompt: Help Wang Xiangjun solve the current predicament, and upon completion of the task, you can acquire one of Wang Xiangjun¡¯s skills!] Just as Li Baoshan was about to hang up the phone, Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°Director, I know how to prepare dialysis fluid!¡±


    At this declaration, Li Baoshan found the sound as refreshing as thunder during a dry spell, and he hastily said, ¡°Xiangjun, wait a moment, I have a solution here!¡±


    After what happened just now, Li Baoshan was filled with trust in Chen Cang. If Chen said he could, he probably really could; this time he might indeed be able to help Wang Xiangjun solve the problem!


    Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangjun¡¯s eyes widened, and his breathing quickened slightly, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Li Baoshan said, ¡°Let me have Doctor Chen from our department talk to you.¡± With that, Li Baoshan handed the phone to Chen Cang, ¡°You talk to Director Wang.¡±


    Chen Cang took the phone and said, ¡°Director Wang, I am Chen Cang from the Emergency Department of Provincial Second Hospital. I can prepare dialysis fluid, be it peritoneal dialysis fluid or hemodialysis fluid.¡±


    Wang Xiangjun burst into a hearty laugh upon hearing this, ¡°Good, good! Okay, then Doctor Chen, if you have time, would you come over? Much appreciated.¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    As for the peritoneal dialysis here, it only needed to be done according to the procedure, and it did not require Chen Cang to do too much.


    Li Baoshan also cautioned, ¡°Chen, pay attention to safety, and¡­ don¡¯t try to be a hero!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and left!


    The distance between Dongda Affiliate Hospital and Provincial Second Hospital was only one thousand meters.


    After Chen Cang went out, he grabbed a shared bicycle and headed straight there.


    It took less than five minutes for Chen Cang to arrive.


    Hurrying into the Emergency Department, he found a man pacing back and forth at the entrance.


    Upon closer inspection, Chen Cang saw!


    That the man had a large question mark above his head.


    [Ding! The anxious Emergency Department Director Wang Xiangjun is fretting over the dialysis fluid.]


    Chen Cang quickly greeted him, ¡°Director Wang, I¡¯m Chen Cang!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun took a good look and saw a young man wearing the white coat of the Second Hospital walking toward him.


    ¡°Chen!? You¡¯re here, come quickly!¡±


    As they spoke, Wang Xiangjun led Chen Cang into the office just outside the dialysis room.


    At that moment, the doctor and the head nurse were sitting there, continuously liaising with the local supplier of dialysis fluid.


    Seeing Wang Xiangjun enter, they couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Director, we don¡¯t use much dialysis fluid here, and there are no manufacturers in the Dongyang province, so we don¡¯t have much in storage. They¡¯ve made deliveries to various hospitals today, and the fastest they can get here is in three hours!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun nodded!


    Sometimes, that¡¯s just how things are.


    ¡°Let me introduce you; this is Doctor Chen from the Provincial Second Hospital. He¡¯s an expert I¡¯ve called in, and he knows how to prepare dialysis fluid!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded in acknowledgment, ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m Chen Cang!¡± Wang Xiangjun shook his head, ¡°No time for formalities, let¡¯s get straight to preparing the dialysis fluid. Whatever you need, Doctor Chen, just say it.¡± Happy National Day to everyone, haha!


    Yesterday, I said I refreshed the chapter for an hour and didn¡¯t see it; I thought I was done for, scared me so much I didn¡¯t sleep well last night. Only today did I realize that¡­it wasn¡¯t just me; I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but¡­ I can¡¯t hint at updates anymore, it¡¯s really tiring.


    Finally, I wish our country peace and prosperity, and may every family thrive and everything go well.

 Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: The Role of Dialysis Fluid

    Chapter 54: The Role of Dialysis Fluid


    Translator: 549690339


    Ordinary dialysis fluid configuration is generally not difficult.


    However, against different diseases, it is actually necessary to configure different dialysis fluids, which is the key to dialysis fluid configuration!


    It is not as simple as just rinsing and disinfecting it with dry powder!


    In the central dialysis fluid preparation room, Chen Cang looked at the large barrels and various instruments and dry powders in front of him, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.


    He never expected that what he thought was a trivial skill in dialysis fluid configuration could become his forte!


    Just like the ready-made dialysis solution used at the Second Provincial Hospital, Chen Cang didn¡¯t need to make many adjustments, but actually, there are better methods, such as some proportional control in the dialysis solution, that can achieve a relatively good dialysis effect.


    The main components of the dialysis solution are sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, sodium lactate, and glucose, which maintain a relatively balanced dialysis environment with the human body, so the constituents do not differ that much.


    For patients with methanol poisoning who need peritoneal dialysis to improve their blood condition, it is also necessary to correct the poisoning!


    Wang Xiangjun became somewhat anxious, ¡°Chen, hurry up!


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Director, I need to take a look at the patient¡¯s lab report before making the mixture. Different patients have different conditions, and the specific values for mixing the dialysis solution also need to be adjusted, and even some additional drugs may need to be added.¡±


    The people present were stunned at these words!


    This is the work of an expert!


    Although they didn¡¯t understand, this did not stop them from being amazed.


    There¡¯s a term called ¡°incomprehensible but impressive.


    All this time, everyone was using the standard dialysis solution, who would have thought of ¡°personal customization¡±!


    Wang Xiangjun was also bewildered by Chen Gang¡¯s words, thinking to himself, has the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital become so formidable? Where did they bring in such an expert? So young, could he be¡­ a returnee from abroad?


    With this thought, Wang Xiangjun felt he needed to strengthen talent acquisition this year. Recruitment for the Provincial Direct Hospital was about to begin, and he decided to ask the leaders for a few more slots to solidify the status of the First Affiliated Hospital of East University.


    Wang Xiangjun nodded and signaled for someone to bring the medical records.


    Chen Cang spent a few minutes familiarizing himself with the patient¡¯s condition and then began to think immediately!


    A few minutes later, he started the proportioning work!


    After cleaning up, Chen Cang entered the clean area and began configuring the first person¡¯s dialysis solution!


    First was the preparation of the concentrated B solution. He prepared the necessary dry powder and, after cleaning the B dialysis barrel with dialysis water, began to pour the B powder into the barrel.


    The First Affiliated Hospital of East University uses Fresenius, so the ratio is done according to Fresenius¡¯s proportions.


    A: B: Dialysis is at a ratio of 1:1.225:32.75.


    For the concentration of potassium ions, Chen Cang chose i.25-i.75mEQ/L and after hesitating slightly, decided to add an acetate-free buffer solution.


    Time passed by, minute by minute, with the people behind watching Chen Cang nervously.


    It wasn¡¯t much later when Chen Cang turned around and said to everyone, ¡°This is the dialysis solution for patient in bed 5, it¡¯s ready to use.


    It must be said, Chen Cang discovered that preparing dialysis solutions requires a systematic, medical thinking.


    Because you have to consider many aspects of the patient¡¯s situation!


    For example, the patient just now has heart disease, which requires a low- calcium mix to reduce the cardiac burden; otherwise, methanol poisoning combined with increased heart stress can have quite serious consequences.


    And glucose comes in three concentrations: 1.5%, 2.5%, and 4-25%. The higher concentration of glucose in the dialysis solution, the greater its osmotic effect.


    As time ticked away, people did not dare to disturb Chen Cang.


    When Chen Cang had finished configuring the last person¡¯s peritoneal dialysis solution, a medical staff member ran in!


    ¡°Director, patient in bed 5 has woken up!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun was completely stunned!


    Was the effect so remarkable???


    ¡°Awake? Come, let¡¯s go check on the patient!¡±


    Not long after, Wang Xiangjun hurriedly ran back!


    By this time, the patient¡¯s condition had noticeably improved. Although still somewhat confused, at least they had woken up.


    Seeing the patient awake, Director Wang Xiangjun was naturally ecstatic! ¡°Dr. Chen! I can¡¯t thank you enough, the solution you prepared was incredibly effective. The patient has regained consciousness, and the symptoms of poisoning have begun to alleviate. I¡¯m really grateful to you!¡± At this moment, Wang Xiangjun was extremely excited, since, as a doctor, nothing made him happier than seeing a critically ill patient successfully treated!


    Just then, Wang Xiangjun¡¯s phone rang, and it was still Tian Kai! ¡°Director Wang, I¡¯ve had the dialysis fluid delivered by the manufacturer. It¡¯s now in the hospital courtyard; please have someone collect it. I¡¯ll be at the hospital shortly. We must ensure this rescue operation goes well!¡± Wang Xiangjun snorted coldly. This Dean Tian really was a bully when you showed weakness and a coward when you stood firm!


    However, since it had been delivered, it was time for Chen Cang to head back.


    Wang Xiangjun looked at his watch, it was already half-past twelve!


    He was suddenly taken aback!


    He apologized with a smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t notice it was so late¡­ Dr. Chen, you¡¯ve worked hard. Go back and rest!¡±


    ¡°Thanks to you for today¡¯s work, I still have things to do here and can¡¯t leave. How about this, I¡¯ll visit your hospital tomorrow to personally express my gratitude and have a good talk with your director!


    Chen Cang smiled, waved his hand and to be honest, he was really tired today! First, he had sutured 65 patients, then he rushed to perform two peritoneal dialysis catheter insertions, and after that, he rushed here to prepare the dialysis solution. From six o¡¯clock until twelve, he hadn¡¯t stopped for a moment.


    He was truly exhausted¡­


    Chen Cang felt like his back wasn¡¯t his own anymore.


    Maybe he also needed to take some time to ¡°nourish the kidneys¡±?


    ¡°You¡¯re being too polite, Director Wang. You¡¯ve worked harder than I have, this is all part of our job.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at this middle-aged man with a bald head, unremarkable in appearance, yet containing a fervent power in his being, shining and radiating warmth at every moment.


    This was the spirit of the old generation of Nightingales!


    The medical profession is easily influenced by the atmosphere.


    Heroes always need a background to highlight them, but doctors only leave behind silhouettes, not backgrounds.


    Chen Cang turned around and saw Wang Xiangjun, over fifty years old with a clearly balding head, hunching over as he ran into the emergency room. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Life, there are always some people who have to bear the burdens others cannot! This is what is called the unbearable weight of life, isn¡¯t it?


    For the health and safety of everyone¡¯s life, there are always some people who press on despite the heavy load!


    Chen Cang walked out of the hospital and saw the little yellow bike he had parked there still waiting, and a sense of happiness filled his heart. Immediately he cheerfully scanned the QR code to unlock it and pedaled hard towards the hospital.


    Actually, feeling excited is really simple.


    As simple as not wanting to walk when you step outside and finding a shared bike right there.


    As simple as the relief that comes from helping others solve problems.


    As simple as looking forward to a good sleep once you return¡­


    In the night, Chen Cang unconsciously hummed a tune as he slowly made his way toward the Second Provincial Hospital.


    The moonlight of August scattered over his shoulders, but what illuminated the path ahead was just an ordinary streetlight.


    [Ding! You have gained +io favorability points from the senior NPC Wang

 Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: Super Skills!

    Chapter 55: Super Skills!


    Translator: 549690339


    Just as he arrived at the hospital, Chen Cang heard a series of system notification tones.


    ¡°Ding! Advanced NPC WangXiangjun¡¯s task: Urgent Dialysis Solution Task


    Completed. Reward: Random Wang Xiangjun skill acquired.¡±


    ¡°Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained Wang Xiangjun¡¯s skill: Manual


    Reduction.¡±


    ¡°Ding! Manual Reduction: Master-level, with special effects: 1. Pam relief; 2.


    Accelerated recovery.¡±


    The moment he heard the sound, Chen Cang felt somewhat unreal!


    Because¡­


    Master-level!


    This is a master-level skill!


    And it¡¯s the manual reduction technique, the one in orthopedics that most requires experience and skill level, the one that needs a highly conscious approach!


    Oh! My goodness!


    He felt humbled and flattered!


    Chen Cang felt a bit inflated!


    He wanted to take a deep breath to calm himself down, but¡­ he worried that taking another breath might make him explode, so he exhaled deeply instead!


    How to describe the manual reduction skill?


    It wouldn¡¯t be an overstatement to call it a divine technique!


    Because more than eighty percent of fractures in clinical practice can be treated


    with manual reduction for recovery.


    Manual reduction can save patients a lot of money and significantly shorten the recovery period, and the recovery effects are phenomenal for patients.


    But, the more powerful the skill, the harder it is to learn!


    The manual reduction skill relies entirely on experience and inheritance.


    Without several years of clinical experience and a glorious track record of setting hundreds of bones, it¡¯s not easy to master this skill.


    Therefore, the manual reduction skill is often passed down in families, and not many formally trained professionals possess it!


    It¡¯s even possible that such a skill could die out.


    After all, think about it ¨C if a patient fractures a bone, goes for an examination, has surgery, it would increase hospital performance and doctor surgeries, and reduce patient risk. Wiry not do it?


    So!


    How could Chen Cang not be happy to obtain such a divine skill from Wang


    Xiangjun?


    Only, he couldn¡¯t figure out why Wang Xiangjun would have such a divine skill?


    Other skills can be learned gradually, but manual reduction is impossible without guidance from a master and prolonged practice!


    After parking his bicycle, he rushed towards the emergency department.


    All hospital emergency departments are on the first floor. The old man at the door saw Chen Cang returning and hurriedly said, ¡°Doctor Chen, the director asked you to come to the office.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded his head and said thank you with a smile.


    Working as security in the emergency department was the toughest, most


    thankless, and most frightening job.


    Yet Qin Taishan had been here for fifteen years.


    Even Chen Cang would call him Uncle Qin when they met.


    Upon entering the office, Li Baoshan, Chen Bingsheng, An Yanjun, and others were there, seemingly just finished with surgery, relaxing in chairs eating fruit.


    Hmm, the fruit basket sent by Zhao Huqiu.


    Seeing Chen Cang return, Li Baoshan led the applause with a big smile!


    ¡°Welcome back, hero!¡±


    ¡°Welcome, welcome!¡±


    Qin Yue, the little bootlicker, hadn¡¯t slept yet. He probably had food in his


    mouth as he mumbled, ¡°The hero returns!¡±


    For a moment, Chen Cang was almost ready to bolt, not knowing where to put his hands as his face blushed and his heart raced!


    After all, he was just a temporary worker who had never received such treatment before!


    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the director¡¯s leadership!¡± Hmm, Chen Cang felt that he was now a member of society and should say something mature, like¡­ suck up a bit!


    Everyone immediately burst into laughter.


    Li Baoshan pretended to be stern: ¡°You little rascal, you even know how to tease the director now. Aren¡¯t you afraid the director will make things difficult for you?¡±


    Bv now it was nearly one o¡¯clock, and everyone had been busy up to this point,


    already tired to the bone.


    Li Baoshan summarized in two sentences: ¡°Today, everyone performed very well! Especially Chen Cang, who deserves special commendation here. During the rescue operation, he was proactive and took on the responsibility of emergency rescue work, and I want to give him special recognition!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, this incident has also sounded an alarm for us. Going forward in our work, we must identify our weaknesses and shortcomings, and strive to improve. If it hadn¡¯t been for Chen Cang turning the tide, we wouldn¡¯t even know how to operate the dialysis machine today. How embarrassing would that be if it got out?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s do this, I¡¯m assigning everyone a task¡­ Forget it! I¡¯ll talk about it another day.¡± Saying this, Li Baoshan thought about how truly exhausted everyone was today and didn¡¯t say much more, concluding with:


    ¡°Overall, we did quite well with the emergency task. Everyone deserves praise; you¡¯re all heroes. It¡¯s getting late, everyone should go back and rest. We¡¯ll discuss the specifics tomorrow during the shift handover.¡±


    We can finally rest!


    Chen Cang, too, could catch his breath. He was truly exhausted today.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for the ¡°Physical Strength Potion¡± last time, Chen Cang definitely wouldn¡¯t have been able to perform like this today. Not to mention anything else, just those 65 sutures were a big challenge.


    When he got home, what was left in the house were some large pieces of furniture and a pile of books. Chen Cang had never given up on learning; he had bought quite a few books to study after starting work.


    These items were quite heavy and couldn¡¯t be moved all at once. He planned to con Wang Qian into coming over to help with the move after work in the next few days.


    The next morning, Chen Cang was awoken by his biological clock.


    After having breakfast, Chen Cang arrived early at the emergency department. [Ding! Daily task: Complete three surgeries today (no restrictions on type). Reward: +200 experience points, +200 RMB.]


    He was always the earliest to arrive. After last night¡¯s ordeal, the hospital seemed not too busy-Wang Qian had the night shift.


    Qian¡¯er¡¯s life always had style, his McDonald¡¯s breakfast standing in stark contrast to Chen Gang¡¯s soy milk and fried dough sticks.


    ¡°Qian¡¯er, you must be tired from last night?¡± Chen Cang said with a smile. Wang Qian flexed his biceps: ¡°We workers have strength. This is strength. What¡¯s fatigue?¡±


    Chen Cang looked at him with satisfaction-it was much more convenient to have this guy around when moving.


    But Wang Qian laughed and said, ¡°Cang Er, you really made a good impression in front of the bigwigs yesterday. Plus, the hospital leaders are sure to commend you today!¡±


    Bigwigs? Director Hao?


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°Are you talking about Director Hao?¡±


    Wang Qian gave a mysterious smile, took a sip of coffee, and pulled up a chair close to Chen Cang: ¡°Director Hao? No, no, no! It¡¯s Wang Xiangjun, the director of the emergency department of East University First Hospital, Director Wang Xiangjun!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and asked curiously, ¡°Director Wang Xiangjun?


    Isn¡¯t he just an emergency department director?¡±


    Wang Qian shook his head, with a pretentiously worldly and know-it-all look that, in Chen Gang¡¯s eyes, resembled someone with constipation.


    Chen Cang muttered, ¡°He¡¯s also a Wang, you¡¯re also a Wang, could it be¡­¡±


    Wang Qian darkened his face, quickly interrupting Chen Gang¡¯s Goldbach-hke conjecture: ¡°What are you even saying! Let me tell you, this Director Wang is a big shot in Dongyang Province!¡±


    ¡°Our Anyang City¡¯s emergency medical field has four famous doctors: Zhang Peiyi of the provincial People¡¯s Hospital, Wang Xiangjun of East University First Hospital, Li Baoshan of the second provincial hospital, and Qin Yueming of the Cardiac Hospital. These four are the pillars of our city¡¯s emergency medical services!¡±


    ¡°But among them, Director Wang Xiangjun holds the highest status, yes, status and identity!¡±


    Chen Cang, playing along, asked, ¡°Why is that?¡±


    Wang Qian: ¡°Director Wang Xiangjun comes from a family of renowned doctors, with several generations practicing medicine. One of his ancestors was an imperial physician during the reign of Emperor Qianlong! His descendants have all carried on the medical tradition, spreading out branches and yielding fruitful results!¡±


    ¡°Right, you must have heard of his father! That¡¯s none other than: Wang


    Shide!¡±


    Chen Gang¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°The Red Wall Doctor Wang Shide?


    Wang Qian nodded, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s the big shot!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned. Damn, that was impressive.


    The son of the elder Red Wall Doctor Wang Shide!


    Wang Shide is quite the legend in Dongyang Province¡¯s medical field, having served multiple times in the capital, leading the leaders¡¯ healthcare team, with a very high status. However, in recent years, he had been living a peaceful retirement due to old age.


    Wang Qian continued, ¡°Director Wang Xiangjun is also a National Council stipend expert, a well-known doctor in Dongyang Province, and deputy head of the provincial leaders¡¯ healthcare group.¡±

    Chapter 56: It¡¯s been approved!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Cang was slightly surprised to hear how formidable Wang Xiangjun was but that was all.


    After all, their interactions had not been much; yesterday¡¯s encounter was purely coincidental. At most, it might leave a good impression, but realistically expecting Wang Xiangjun to offer help was quite impractical.


    Moreover, harmonious relationships between people only happen when you are on equal footing; otherwise they won¡¯t last.


    As the time to change shifts approached, everyone gradually arrived in the office. Zhang Shu glanced at Chen Cang and nodded slightly, acknowledging that if it hadn¡¯t been for Chen Cang last night, the outcome could have been very grim.


    ¡°You worked hard last night, Xiao Chen!¡±


    Chen cang smiled, ¡°Teacher zhang, I just got lucky, like a blind cat finding a dead rat.¡±


    Chen Bingshengalso happened to come in, ¡°In the tuture, you¡¯ll have to catch more like that.¡±


    Laughter erupted among the crowd.


    They looked at Chen Cang with even greater satisfaction.


    After all, such a down-to-earth, zealous young man who was neither arrogant nor impatient was truly someone hard to dislike!


    Especially to women, handsome is always the most lethal weapon. However, with some liking him, naturally, there would be others who took a slight dislike.


    Otherwise, there would be an imbalance.


    Seeing everyone singing praises for Chen Cang, Wang Yong felt uncomfortable inside, knowing that they had joined the emergency department in the same year as contract personnel, both working hard.


    Wang Yong was slightly luckier than Chen Cang; he usually got to assist Li Baoshan in surgeries, serving the leader.


    Usually, such people had an easier time becoming official staff.


    Moreover, under Director Li¡¯s guidance, Wang Yong had improved rapidly, participating in many more surgeries than Chen Cang, enough that Chen Cang might not even be in the same league.


    Therefore, Wang Yong felt that for this round of conversion from contract to official appointment in the unit, his chances were better.


    And after more than two years, Wang Yong believed he had a good grasp of Chen Cang: from a rural background, no connections, average family conditions, no money, a bachelor¡¯s degree from Dongyang Provincial Medical University, not a high academic qualification.


    With this clean background, Wang Yong thought that apart from being better-looking than himself, there were small gaps in other aspects between them.


    Moreover¡­ he firmly believed that diligence could make up for ugliness!


    Yet, what Wang Yong couldn¡¯t anticipate was that Chen Cang, so unexpectedly iscreet, had silently drawn a dozen meters long saber and showed off a bit in front of the hospital leadership!


    This hurt Wang Yong.


    They had agreed to develop quietly together, but Chen Cang had surreptitiously bought a storm sword, leaving Wang Yong, who only had a Doran¡¯s blade, feeling injured.


    After all, there were only so many positions; plainly speaking, it was all about competition. If one excelled and performed well, naturally, it would put more pressure on the contenders.


    No, he needed to find an opportunity to learn Chen Gang¡¯s skills!


    Thinking this, Wang Yong made a tough decision-to buy support items and secretly learn from the master!


    Li Baoshan walked into the office, saw that everyone had arrived, and nodded, ¡°Thank you all for your hard work last night. With our collective efforts, the rescue mission was successfully completed. Each one of you present is a hero!¡± ¡°But, yesterday¡¯s event also serves as a warning bell for us. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are common treatments in clinical practice. As emergency doctors, we are truly battling with death. Every new skill we acquire adds a layer of security to our patients¡¯ lives.¡±


    During this period, we¡¯re organizing a study session on the peritoneal dialysis catheterization procedure,¡± Chen Bingsheng started, ¡°I require that after this study session, everyone must master the basic operation requirements for peritoneal dialysis catheterization. I will provide some cases for everyone soon.¡±


    (Ding! Task triggered: Teach the department¡¯s doctors peritoneal dialysis catheterization techniques. Task completion reward: Gain favor (Each doctor who masters the technique will provide 5-10 points of favor for you).]


    Chen Cang stroked his chin, this task¡­ am I to become everyone¡¯s darling? What¡¯s the use of this favorability anyhow?


    In other people¡¯s novels and games, it¡¯s crystal clear: when favorability reaches 100, you can take them back for dual cultivation.


    At this thought, Chen Cang felt both conflicted and complex. On the one hand, he worried about how to get along with Old Chen when their favorability reached too; on the other hand, he looked forward to what might happen when his and Qin Yue¡¯s favorability hit too?


    Sigh¡­


    Life is tough for me.


    Li Baoshan stared at Chen Cang and asked, ¡°Little Chen, did you hear that?¡±


    Chen Cang quickly stood up: ¡°I promise to complete the task!¡±


    In the hospital¡¯s office, the weekly Wednesday meeting was underway. The department heads and hospital leadership gathered together, and Qin Xiaoyuan looked at everyone, saying, ¡°The resuscitation efforts carried out by everyone yesterday were very good, and we successfully completed the rescue mission.¡±


    ¡°Of course, in this rescue effort, there were quite a few colleagues who performed exceptionally well. Therefore, our hospital has decided to commend these meritorious individuals.¡±


    ¡°Especially some of the younger colleagues, junior doctors, who shined in this rescue effort, truly taking on the heavy responsibility for the people¡¯s health and lives.¡±


    ¡°Talent has always been the lifeblood of our hospital and the last line of defense in people¡¯s health activities. Therefore, we should improve the treatment of these junior doctors and give them commendations. In terms of talent, we should not only attract but retain them.¡±


    ¡°Our department has just freed up a position. Among us last night, Chen Cang from the emergency department stitched up 65 patients and used peritoneal dialysis to successfully treat two patients with severe poisoning, saving two lives. Hence, we¡¯ve decided to offer this position opportunity to Chen Cang. Does anyone have any objections?¡±


    The moment these words were heard, there was immediate murmuring among the attendees.


    Chen Cang was still a temporary worker; no one expected such an opportunity to directly secure a position!


    Getting a position usually involves a cumbersome process, except for talent acquisition which tends to be less troublesome.


    However, nobody really objected, after all, Chen Cang truly did earn his merit and opportunities are for those who are prepared. If you can do what others can¡¯t at critical moments, that¡¯s capability!


    But, this position is coveted by many!


    Soon after, Zhang Youfu from the general surgery department spoke up: ¡°isn¡¯t it inappropriate? Director Qin, our department¡¯s Zhou Xiaodong joined on a contract basis the year before last and is a graduate student from Dongyang Medical University. He¡¯s still on contract; shouldn¡¯t the position go to our older colleagues first? As far as I know, this Chen Cang is only a bachelor¡¯s degree holder, right? Besides, we can¡¯t nullify someone¡¯s two years of hard work just because of one performance.¡±


    Shi Qi, the chief of thoracic surgery, also lowered his voice and said, ¡°I don¡¯t agree either. Our department¡¯s Li Shijian has been on contract for three years now and still hasn¡¯t been regularized. It doesn¡¯t sit well with us to give such an opportunity to a junior doctor.¡±


    Li Baoshan, upon hearing this, immediately became displeased: ¡°I don¡¯t think academic qualifications should be the measure of a doctor¡¯s capabilities. Chen Cang is the most talented surgeon I have ever seen. If we can¡¯t hold onto such talent today, his departure in the future would be a loss for our hospital!¡±


    At that moment, the chiefs expressed their opinions.


    That¡¯s when Secretary Tan said, ¡°I think young people should all have opportunities; everyone is outstanding! How about this, let¡¯s give them all a chance and have a comparison. The winner will naturally get the position.¡±

 Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: The Power of the Special Training Card

    Chapter 57: The Power of the Special Training Card


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Hospitals are also a small community, where Qin Xiaoyuan is the dean, and Tan Liguo is the secretary. Given that hospitals are public service units, interpersonal relationships are rather complex. As the helmsmen of the hospital, their relationship is akin to that of love rivals, vying for the affection of the same lover, which in this case is the hospital itself. Any matter concerning the hospital becomes a point of contention between them.


    Qin Xiaoyuan emerges from the field of internal medicine and accordingly, places considerable emphasis on it, while the surgical Zhang Youfu and thoracic surgery¡¯s Shi Qi were promoted by Tan Liguo himself.


    Therefore, an issue as trivial as job positions could blow up into something big and is always subject to dispute.


    But for Chen Cang, this issue was no small matter!


    In the office of the director of the emergency department.


    When Li Baoshan conveyed this piece of news to Chen Cang, Chen¡¯s eyes widened instantly.


    ¡°A full-time position?¡±


    Li Baoshan rolled his eyes, ¡°That¡¯s the sixth time you¡¯ve asked, yes, a full-time position! Not a contractual one.¡±


    ¡°Now, surgeries have been intruded upon by Zhang Youfu and Shi Qi from thoracic surgery. Your academic qualifications are a weak point; even Dean Qin can¡¯t do anything about it.¡±


    Chen Cang, upon hearing this, merely furrowed his brows slightly.


    Such is society; the more desirable something is, the harder it is to obtain.


    This is an era that demands a ¡°comprehensive strength¡± competition.


    Yet, Chen Cang harbored a doubt¡­


    Ultimately, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t hold back, since the question had troubled him for a long time, he asked, ¡°Director, a full-time position¡­ how much can one earn per month? And¡­ there¡¯s insurance and a housing fund, right? How much is deducted for the housing fund?¡±


    Li Baoshan became angry in an instant!


    You¡¯ve been daydreaming for these two minutes just to ask me this question?


    Yet, seeing Chen Gang¡¯s innocent face, he couldn¡¯t help but say irritably, ¡°Once you¡¯re on a full-time position, your efforts will reap rewards. Based on the coefficient, the housing fund will be three to five hundred; after insurance deductions, your net salary will be just under three thousand. Other bonuses will depend on your personal coefficient and workload; work hard, and you might bring home seven or eight thousand a month. If you reach the state of old Chen, then over ten thousand a month isn¡¯t an issue at all.¡±


    What Li Baoshan said was the stark truth.


    The emergency department was never meant to be a lucrative sector. Compared to general surgery, cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, oncology, gynecology, interventional radiology, and the like, it was relatively impoverished.


    Moreover, the emergency department always required special funds from the hospital to survive¡ªafter all¡­. there are often patients who evade payment.


    This is also why the emergency department frequently depended on temporary workers.


    Temporary workers received just over two thousand a month, without any social benefits; they were not provided with food or accommodation, representing a super cheap labor force.


    Contract workers, however, were part of the hospital¡¯s coefficient distribution. Virtually every operation cost money, and there were only three types of insured benefits without a housing fund, reducing the hospital¡¯s burden.


    Fundamentally, the hospital had the final say; if the department head wanted you, there weren¡¯t many issues.


    But a full-time position was different. Each province essentially had only one full-time examination per year; if passed, a full-time position was granted, with the exception of special talent inductions.


    The hospital also had a number of full-time slots for in-house employee sales.


    All of a sudden, Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang, ¡°This time Dean Qin is backing you up; you¡¯d better put your all into it!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, thinking: This must be the benefit of favorable impressions, right? It seems that being well-regarded is quite useful!


    Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang, ¡°It¡¯s inevitable now that the three of you will compete this time, all being surgeons. This competition will most likely be a surgical one.¡±


    ¡°For fairness¡¯ sake, one basic surgical procedure and one specialized surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless, ¡°Director, what specialized surgeries do we have in emergency medicine?¡±


    Li Baoshan shook his head, ¡°The specialized surgery is actually to accommodate you all by choosing a surgery you¡¯re most skilled at. I¡¯ve brought you here to ask which surgery you are best at; we have to report it.¡±


    Chen Cang carefully opened his skill panel and searched for quite a while¡­


    He discovered that the only technique he could confidently present was Tendon Suture Surgery.


    But, does that even count as surgery?


    ¡°Does Tendon Suture Surgery count?¡±


    Li Baoshan was taken aback, ¡°Of course it counts! You just have to be sure, since this will be the deciding factor. By the way, I don¡¯t know how that patient you stitched up for the criminal police is doing now; I¡¯ve heard Director An mention that the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital has taken a keen interest in you?¡±


    At that moment, Chen Cang also recalled Wu Gang. Although he was confident, he couldn¡¯t be certain about the recovery progress, ¡°I¡¯m not too clear, the records are on file, I¡¯ll call and follow up on another day.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded. Truth be told, he was becoming increasingly satisfied with Chen Cang.


    He sighed and said, ¡°This was originally set up for you, I didn¡¯t expect it to come to this situation, and moreover, the competition itself isn¡¯t fair. For Zhou Xiaodong from general surgery, it could be said he has a great advantage.¡±


    ¡°But that¡¯s how our hospital operates, the dean and secretary are at odds, and it brings about a lot of trouble¡­ Sigh¡­ I think it¡¯s going to be a close call. Sigh¡­ it¡¯s my fault. If I had known, I would have taken you under my wing in surgery earlier.¡±


    ¡°The competition is on Friday. Here¡¯s what we¡¯ll do, tomorrow you¡¯ll join me in a few appendectomy procedures, and I will guide you properly!¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang heard this, he suddenly paused¡ªit was Wednesday today, and Friday was just two days away!


    These people were really determined.


    The competition was on Friday, and he was a bit flustered because his appendectomy skills were only at an intermediate level so far.


    ¡°Okay, Director, thank you for your trouble,¡± Chen Cang said with a sincere smile.


    After leaving the office, Chen Cang sat in the duty room, looking at the virtual panel¡¯s information.


    He had four skill points.


    Plus a special training card.


    Chen Gang¡¯s gaze shifted to the ¡°special training card,¡± and a series of messages flooded his mind.


    [Special Training Card: After use, you can enter the special training space to train intensively on this skill. You may leave once the system is satisfied. Would you like to start special training?]


    At noon, when everyone had gone for lunch and both the duty room and the office were deserted, Chen Cang decisively locked himself in the duty room and bolted the door.


    He was a bit worried about one issue¡ªwould this consume a lot of time?


    [Ding, this special training takes place in a virtual space and will not consume any real time.]


    This was good news!


    Chen Cang picked up the special training card and clicked to activate it.


    [Please select the training content.]


    [Appendectomy! ]


    [Would you like to start?]


    [Begin!]


    Suddenly, Chen Cang felt the scene before his eyes change, and in an instant, he found himself in an operating room.


    [Training content: Appendectomy. During the training period, every step of your operation will be evaluated by the system. This training will comprehensively hone your mastery of appendectomy, aiming for you to grasp the essentials and difficulties of every type of appendectomy surgery! Please start your operation.]


    Chen Cang moved forward, facing a patient case with basic information written on it, ordinary appendicitis.


    He skillfully completed the preparatory work, ready to make the incision marks!


    Marking the incision line, disinfecting¡­


    Opening the abdomen, the skin¡­ the fat layer¡­ the peritoneum¡­


    The surgery began step by step, and Chen Cang felt it was going smoothly. The first operation was completed.


    [Ding! Score: 61, passable. Room for improvement: 1. Marking, 2. Incision¡­ 39. Suturing. Starting specialized training: Marking.]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    An appendectomy that he was quite satisfied with scored only 61 points, with 39 areas for improvement¡ªthat was an exaggerated number.


    However, he soon saw the specialized training.


    Marking?


    What was wrong with the marking?


    [Hint: Marking is crucial. A targeted incision can effectively reduce the size of the wound and decrease the possibility of infection¡­ The first specialized training on appendectomy: positioning and marking¡­]


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded; who knew there was so much to learn about a simple marking?


    But soon Chen Cang realized why there were so many intricacies.


    Because the position of the appendix is mostly fixed, there is often talk of an aberrant appendix.


    For example, common cases like malrotation, incomplete rotation, incomplete fixation of the ascending colon, reverse position, and even physiological shifts like displacement during pregnancy.


    The specialized training, like a lecturing session, constantly provided professional training to Chen Cang!


    A simple study on marking, and he went through thousands of surgeries¡­


    What came next was the most painful part, the incision!


    For the first time, Chen Cang discovered how low his skills were; why should he learn his appendix incisions, which were full of flaws? Following the hints, Chen Cang kept adjusting.


    The purpose of adjusting the incision was to improve the precision of the surgery and prevent accidents. Moreover, he realized a good incision greatly aided in the suturing, especially when combined with his ¡°beautiful eyes,¡± which could even make the suture scars almost invisible.


    Such a simple appendectomy, with such profound knowledge!

 Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: Cut Open, Negative Review!

    Chapter 58: Cut Open, Negative Review!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    When Chen Cang opened his eyes, he took two deep breaths!


    He felt as though his surname was no longer Chen, but Sun, trapped in the operating room for five hundred years!


    Just thinking about the appendix made him feel somewhat allergic¡­


    But now, his mind was filled with nothing else but appendices, completely full!


    Acute appendicitis, chronic appendicitis, suppurative appendicitis¡­ an entire package deal of appendicitis¡­


    However, the harvest was quite plentiful!


    [Ding! Congratulations, your appendectomy skill has been elevated to: Perfect Level!]


    To be honest, upon hearing this notification, Chen Cang felt neither surprised nor thrilled because if it hadn¡¯t reached the perfect level, Chen Cang would have been absolutely dismayed¡ªGod knows how many appendectomies he had performed.


    God knows how many bellies he had inspected!


    Chen Cang felt he had now awakened a skill, the hidden skill: Seeing the Belly to Recognize the Appendix!


    In ancient times, there was bone-touching to divine fate and palmistry to distinguish fortunes, and now I, Chen the Official, discern appendices by inspecting bellies.


    Of course, that was an exaggeration.


    The most important thing for making an accurate diagnosis of appendicitis is to conduct a thorough examination of the medical history and physical examination of the patient, followed by a detailed and systematic assessment, only then can one make a perfect conjecture.


    But why didn¡¯t my appendectomy skill have any special effects anymore?


    Suddenly, Chen Cang slapped his forehead, ¡°It¡¯s already perfect, what more special effects do you want?¡±


    However, reaching perfection was indeed not easy.


    Chen Cang recalled that in the past, Old Chen¡¯s expertise had obviously surpassed the requirements, but his skill level had not broken through, indicating that although the experience was sufficient, the understanding was not quite there yet.


    Medicine truly is a discipline that tests one¡¯s talent, and surgery even more so.


    It seemed that the [Special Training Card] really was a good thing, but¡­ Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to use it much because¡­ every time it felt like being in prison.


    In the afternoon, Chen Bingsheng found Chen Cang: ¡°This afternoon, Zhang Zhixin has several appendectomy surgeries, and you¡¯ll come with me. You¡¯ll perform the surgeries, and I¡¯ll help point out your shortcomings.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous about the exam either,¡± Old Chen said, his own heart unsure, even feeling a bit guilty, ¡°Alt, it¡¯s all my fault. For the past two years, you have always been assisting in emergency surgeries and haven¡¯t actually led many operations. To be honest, I am responsible for that.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and comforted, ¡°Boss, don¡¯t you think I performed the appendectomy surgeries quite well?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng glared at Chen Cang irritably; what a time for the guy to still be making jokes.


    However, at this moment, Chen Bingsheng didn¡¯t want to crush his spirits, so he simply let it be and even encouraged, ¡°Your surgical talent is one of the best I¡¯ve seen, and given time, your future will be boundless, but right now, you admittedly have some shortcomings in clinical experience.¡±


    ¡°Today¡¯s opportunity with several appendectomy surgeries by Zhang Zhixin is perfect. You watch Dr. Zhang perform the first few, then you¡¯ll take over the last two, and we¡¯ll point out where you can improve,¡±


    At this point, all Chen Bingsheng could think of was to make up for deficiencies at the last moment.


    Chen Cang smiled, nodded, and said thank you.


    Fearing that Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t take it seriously, Old Chen reminded him again, ¡°This opportunity is really rare, a spot at a provincial-level tertiary hospital. To be frank, even a graduate student would have to pay at least four to five hundred thousand yuan to get in, and that¡¯s assuming you pass the written exam. The examinations for hospital positions are getting tougher, and opportunities like this are too rare within the hospital.¡±


    Now Chen Bingsheng was conflicted inside. On one hand, he was afraid that Chen Cang was too arrogant and underestimated the opponent; on the other hand, he didn¡¯t dare to say too much, fearing he might put too much pressure on Chen Cang.


    Normally, the boisterous Old Chen was now behaving as fussy as an old lady.


    To tell the truth, Chen Bingsheng was indeed a bit annoyed inside. He had already recognized Chen Gang¡¯s surgical talent, but¡­ no matter how great the talent, it still required long-term clinical experience to back it up, and Chen Cang had simply performed too few surgeries.


    However, as a temp entering the emergency department, the majority of the work was still mainly about labor, and following surgeries meant mostly assisting, which was a matter of habitual thinking.


    The emergency department had too many trivial tasks. Before Chen Cang came, there was another junior doctor working temporarily, but after Chen Gang¡¯s arrival, Chen Bingsheng felt that the pressure had significantly reduced. At the very least, Chen Gang¡¯s medical record writing was very standardized. In the two-plus years that Chen Cang had been there, Chen Bingsheng had never once been fined due to non-compliant medical records.


    The medical insurance department was a magical place. Chen Bingsheng once suspected that the staff¡¯s performance bonuses were made up from the fines collected from doctors.


    Any staff member from the medical insurance department could always find something non-compliant in your medical records, then deduct money in the thousands, three or five thousand for one record. Terrifying!


    Relations between people are built up over time, and Old Chen¡¯s satisfaction with Chen Cang was naturally because Chen Cang did his job well and left no room for criticism.


    The two of them walked together to the operating room, where Zhang Zhixin was already changing clothes. Seeing Chen Cang, he said, ¡°Time is short, the task is heavy, you¡¯ve got to work hard.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    Chen Bingsheng couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Old Zhang, that¡­ how is Zhou Xiaodong¡¯s skill in general surgery?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin glanced at Chen Cang, then at Chen Bingsheng, sighed and said, ¡°A very talented young man, a disciple of the general surgery guru Qian Liang from Eastern Medical University. Now he¡¯s a new force in our department. The director values him highly, letting him perform the minor surgeries almost entirely. He can handle a case by himself without any problem, has already passed the intermediate level this year, and I estimate he could be promoted to attending physician by the end of the year.¡±


    Once these words were spoken, the three fell into silence.


    The opportunity was originally for Chen Cang, but now for various reasons, it needed to be competed for with someone else, and that someone was a very capable person.


    The three slowly made their way to the operating room. Along the way, Chen Bingsheng and Zhang Zhixin stepped aside, pulling Chen Cang apart.


    In a quiet voice, he said, ¡°Chen Cang, don¡¯t worry. Whether you can pass or not, I, Chen Bingsheng, guarantee I¡¯ll at least get you a contract job.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and nodded. To tell the truth, he was quite moved by Old Chen¡¯s care as after all, they were not related by blood, and just having this level of concern was good enough.


    Chen Bingsheng sighed and without saying much, patted Chen Gang¡¯s shoulder.


    Inside the operating room, Zhang Zhixin picked up the scalpel, ready to start the surgery.


    Chen Bingsheng repeatedly admonished, ¡°Pay close attention, Old Zhang has a deep expertise in appendectomies.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded!


    Zhang Zhixin led the surgery, Chen Bingsheng assisted, and Chen Gang¡¯s task was to watch and learn.


    But, as Zhang Zhixin picked up the scalpel and made an incision, Chen Cang subconsciously judged and then¡­ in his mind, several words automatically appeared:


    ¡°Incision, poor!¡±


    That was Chen Gang¡¯s first impression.


    If Zhang Zhixin had applied slightly more force in that incision, he could have done it better, not to mention the angle ¡ª the angle of the blade and the angle with the skin were both worth considering closely. Chen Cang frowned slightly.


    This wasn¡¯t a learning lesson, but an assessment!

 Chapter 59 - Chapter 59: Disappointed at Someones Failure to Meet Expectations

    Chapter 59: Disappointed at Someone¡¯s Failure to Meet Expectations


    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Peritoneal incision, poor review!¡± ¡°Muscle separation, poor review!¡± ¡°Appendix exploration, poor review!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, I really don¡¯t want to nitpick!


    It¡¯s just an instinctive reaction.


    Who knows how many times I¡¯ve performed each movement?


    If you ask Chen Cang what he¡¯s most familiar with in this life, he would now say without hesitation that it¡¯s the appendix.


    The appendix monster is like a goblin, tormented by Chen Cang in the newbie village until it¡¯s battered and bruised.


    At this moment, after making his incision, Zhang Zhixin felt very satisfied, thinking he had outperformed himself. Not only the depth and force but also the level of skill was very impressive-he could change his name to Zhang Yidao in the future.


    Chen Bingsheng also nodded slightly in agreement, that incision was skilled!


    Turning to Chen Cang, he said, ¡°Did you see Old Zhang¡¯s incision just now? His angle and depth, especially the control of force, were on point. You need to continuously practice this in your future work. The force of the incision, like the throttle under a veteran driver¡¯s foot, requires a full understanding of how much pressure to apply!¡±


    Chen Cang wanted to scratch his head, but, being sterile, he couldn¡¯t move his hands and could only nod in response.


    The surgery proceeded slowly, and Zhang Zhixin was very satisfied with today¡¯s overall performance!


    It seems that without pressure, there¡¯s no drive. The pressure Chen Cang added made a difference, making the scalpel glides impressively-nice!


    Very satisfied!


    Zhang Zhixin gave himself 95 points for today¡¯s performance.


    After the suturing was finished and the patient had been taken away, Zhang Zhixin, looking thoughtfully at Chen Cang, asked with a smile, ¡°Little Chen, any insights?¡±


    Chen Cang, considering that this was essentially half his boss, felt he should be somewhat diplomatic, ¡°Quite impressive, I think if I were to score, it would be around seventy or eighty.¡±


    Chen Cang thought seventy or eighty was already giving a lot of face, considering¡­ that his first time, he had only received 61 points.


    But¡­


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixin immediately laughed. I gave myself 95 points, and you give me seventy or eighty, you kid.


    Chen Bingsheng couldn¡¯t help but laugh as well, ¡°You, young man, are just talking big. Old Zhang¡¯s surgery just now, in my opinion, is worth at least 90 points. There were no problems whatsoever.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng wasn¡¯t just being polite but speaking the truth-as Zhang Zhixin¡¯s maneuvers were genuinely skilled.


    Exchanging glances with Zhang Zhixin, they both smiled knowingly, feeling that Chen Cang, due to his limited level, couldn¡¯t discern the inherent techniques.


    As Zhang Zhixin washed his hands, he teased, ¡°Oh, Little Chen, you¡¯re quite picky! Then tell us, where did those twenty or thirty points get deducted?¡±


    Chen Cang hesitated, ¡°You really want to hear it?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Of course.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°First, during the incision, even though the force was very accurate, there was no change in force in the subcutaneous fat area. You have to know that the elasticity of skin and fat tissue are different, the choice of force¡­ Secondly, when separating the muscles bluntly, the technique was too clumsy. Although blunt separation requires strength, precision control is also very important¡­ and also when excising the appendix you could have completely¡­ and finally, during suturing¡­¡±


    Toward the end, Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Lastly, it¡¯s the suturing, didn¡¯t you feel that your suturing was very unprofessional?¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang finished speaking, the three men fell into silence¡­


    The sound of water washing over their hands, seemingly endless as if trying to rinse away sorrow?


    The anesthetist Liu Jian, who was originally preparing to wash his hands, also stopped still upon hearing this conversation.


    Zhang Zhixin frowned. Initially, he just wanted to tease Chen Cang a bit, but¡­ gradually, as he listened to Chen Gang¡¯s serious reviews, he couldn¡¯t help but reflect on them¡­ and then¡­ he was stunned!


    Because he realized that Chen Cang wasn¡¯t speaking without basis-every word was logical and well-founded. Each critique was direct, pinpointing the deficiencies without beating around the bush; on the contrary, every sentence Chen Cang said pointed straight at his own shortcomings.


    Firstly, regarding the incision, indeed, as Chen Cang had said, every tissue is different, and the way of holding the scalpel can vary, thereby achieving a more efficient incision.


    Secondly, when it came to the separation of muscles with blunt dissection, I¡¯d always overlooked this seemingly inconsequential step. But upon careful consideration, perhaps there truly was something to it!


    Every step, every word Chen Cang said, struck Zhang Zhixin¡¯s ears like thunder!


    During surgery, each person has their own techniques, their own habits, even to the point where it becomes very difficult for senior attending physicians to improve their skills any further.


    Because your habits have changed you; the surgical maneuvers become greasy,¡± and surgical habits accumulate more and more.


    That¡¯s what¡¯s called a ¡°so-and-so style of excision.¡±


    And these habits persist precisely because no one points them out.


    That¡¯s why junior physicians require the presence of their senior counterparts during surgeries-to prevent mishaps, and to immediately correct any errors, benefiting their future development.


    As for appendectomy, being the most basic surgical operation in general surgery and one that most general surgeons will experience, the role of their leader becomes particularly important at this time.


    Zhang Zhixin kept brainstorming, thinking continuously, and with his many years of clinical experience, many long-standing doubts began to resolve!


    Chen Bingsheng, too, furrowed his brows deeply. Chen Gang¡¯s words earlier hadn¡¯t initially caught his attention, but as they progressed to the end, Chen Bingsheng listened more earnestly, becoming increasingly captivated!


    He and Zhang Zhixin were of the same generation, very familiar with general surgical operations and frequently performed them, so his understanding and insight were likewise profound.


    Especially that line about being attentive to the force and angle when making an incision; there were so many things to consider¡­


    These words constantly filtered through Chen Bingsheng¡¯s mind¡­ screening¡­ pondering¡­ envisioning¡­


    Countless thoughts barraged his years of surgical memories!


    Suddenly!


    He felt a flash of insight streak through his mind!


    Instantly, a feeling of clarity came over him!


    He felt his understanding of ¡°incision¡± had deepened; this was a breakthrough, an enhancement of a bottleneck, elevating his ¡°incision¡± to a new level.


    This feeling was hard to describe!


    Yet at this moment, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system¡¯s prompt: [Ding, with your assistance, Chen Bingsheng¡¯s skill ¡°Incision and Drainage¡± has advanced to a high level, gaining +io favorability and +1 skill point.]


    Chen Cang was startled!


    What the!?


    Was there such a slick operation?


    With that thought, he looked up at Zhang Zhixin, watching him with a gaze filled with love and expectation, like a hen waiting for a chick to break out of its shell¡­


    Come on, break through already!


    I made these suggestions specifically for you¡­


    But, after a long while¡­ a very long while¡­


    There was no change!


    Chen Cang sighed helplessly, a rotten wood cannot be carved¡­


    Boss Zhang, your talent is limited indeed.


    At this thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help shaking his head.

 Chapter 60 - Chapter 60: 8 Stars 8 Diamonds Appendectomy

    Chapter 60: 8 Stars 8 Diamonds Appendectomy


    Translator: 549690339 |


    6o: Today, with the needle-holder in hand, when will I bind the belly?


    Chen Bingsheng was a little excited!


    Because this feeling was marvellous, when you make a breakthrough in comprehension, you¡¯d feel a sense of comfort throughout your body, just like when you face a bottleneck while studying math functions for a long time without making progress, and suddenly, a teacher¡¯s comments and explanations make you realize the solution, that feeling of piercing through the fog is really exhilarating!


    As a surgeon, it¡¯s even more so, as one must break through one bottleneck after another to continually improve oneself.


    And to break through a bottleneck, one must first recognize one¡¯s shortcomings.


    Chen Gang¡¯s incisive comments were right to the point and illuminated things in such a way that Chen Bingsheng felt as if the fog had been lifted.


    In his excitement, Old Chen suddenly tensed up, and after some serious thought, he calmed down, contemplating a serious question: how had Chen Cang noticed that?


    Turning around, he saw Zhang Zhixin with an expression full of delight, his face oscillating perfectly between Triple-A Syndrome and Alzheimer¡¯s, embodying what¡¯s known as a surgeon¡¯s face.


    Reflecting on it, he realized Zhang Zhixin was savoring Chen Gang¡¯s earlier comments, but didn¡¯t want to interrupt, his gaze at Chen Cang filled with meaning.


    This kid¡­ I had underestimated his innate talent for surgery.


    Even though he currently only mastered an appendectomy, that was because he had only been exposed to appendectomies!


    What if¡­ Chen Bingsheng¡¯s eyes blazed with excitement, as if he had discovered a new continent!


    Making up his mind, after this period, he decided to let Chen Cang perform more surgeries and expose him to a variety of new surgical procedures.


    Some people are just different. Originally, he thought the gap between him and Chen Cang was like 3.0 to 30, but now he felt that figure could shift a bit¡­


    After a while!


    Suddenly, he heard a sigh!


    Old Chen turned around, thinking it was Zhang Zhixin, but¡­ it was actually Chen Cang looking at Old Zhang sighing¡­


    The scene became a bit strange for a moment.


    At that moment, Zhang Zhixin suddenly turned around, beaming with joy, and looked at Chen Cang and Chen Bingsheng with a delighted smile.


    He even ignored washing his hands and hugged Chen Bingsheng directly, saying excitedly, ¡°Old Chen, I¡¯ll tell you, the words that little Chen just said deeply resonated with me. Though some of what he said was nonsense, some of it made a lot of sense!¡±


    ¡°At that moment, combining my many years of experience and insights, I actually felt my skills improving subtly. I¡¯ll discuss it with you during the surgery later, tsktsk, lots of little techniques.¡±


    ¡°Little Chen is not bad at all. I found you have a good eye for talent. Study well, and you do your part in the surgery later; I¡¯ll teach you hand in hand!¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded. I said so much¡­ and you say I was spouting nonsensical gibberish?


    Do you have no conscience? My comments were precise and sharp, and if you can¡¯t learn the essence and accuse me of talking nonsense¡­


    Forget it! Forget it!


    Your talent for general surgery is limited; you should stick to your medical aesthetics instead¡­


    Chen Cang sighed.


    He muttered resentfully to himself: Such a disappointment¡­


    The second surgery began, and Chen Cang looked at the patient¡¯s abdomen, taking a deep breath.


    And at that moment, Chen Bingsheng and Zhang Zhixin were watching Chen Cang, not knowing why he was staring blankly at the abdomen.


    But then!


    Suddenly, Chen Gang¡¯s demeanor changed.


    With practiced fluidity, he wielded the scalpel, made a light incision, pressed on the handle, and pulled down slightly, and the skin parted effortlessly!


    Chen Bingsheng was taken aback. Where¡¯s the blood?


    Why was there only a little blood?


    But soon, he saw blood slowly seeping out, but not much¡­


    Old Chen¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. This¡­ was quite the operation.


    He also noticed that Chen Gang¡¯s knife-holding posture kept changing today, from the skin to the subcutaneous fat¡­ With each step, Chen Gang¡¯s hand expertly switched to a different knife-holding position.


    Where was this a novice?


    It felt like the ultimate King displaying their deft moves in a lower brass game.


    Old Chen possessed a strong natural talent for surgery; otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have reached the level of a deputy chief physician while still a chief resident.


    He naturally had some understanding of Chen Gang¡¯s technique and even felt that the incision just now¡­ had subtly surpassed his own.


    Thinking this, Chen Bingsheng suddenly felt a subtle sensation, as if it were a case of the pupil outshining the master? There was also a sense of relief, and even some inner conflict.


    Chen Cang avoided the unnecessary injury of blood vessels with a very precise cut.


    But after making the incision¡­


    Zhang Zhixin suddenly said, ¡°Little Chen, the incision you made seems a bit small, it might be hard to operate through later.¡±


    Indeed, Chen Gang¡¯s incision was only about 4 cm wide, not very broad.


    Chen Cang nodded, it was intentional; he felt it was sufficient.


    Exploration?


    There was no need. Locating the appendix was no different from feeling for one¡¯s nose ¨C incredibly simple. Chen Cang could easily find even the most abnormally placed appendices, not to mention a regular one, which he was more familiar with than his own hands.


    Chen Gang¡¯s operation was very ordinary and simple, yet within that simplicity lay something profoundly intricate.


    Old Chen was captivated!


    Zhang Zhixin too was struck dumbfounded.


    He wasn¡¯t a fool and could clearly see how sharp Chen Gang¡¯s operation was!


    At that moment, Zhang Zhixin realized that the critique Chen Cang had given him earlier was not nonsense, but that he truly had some deficiencies.


    But¡­ how could this kid be so monstrously talented?


    Could an appendectomy really be transformed into something so exquisite by him?


    With this thought, Zhang Zhixin held his breath and watched Chen Gang¡¯s every move and observation with earnest.


    Liu Jian was an anesthesiologist, who generally disliked staying in the operating room; he would leave after administering anesthesia, but today he had not, instead staying inside to witness Chen Gang¡¯s complete appendectomy. After watching, he was immensely astonished.


    Little Chen¡¯s appendectomy was truly¡­ excellent.


    He couldn¡¯t think of many adjectives, but having witnessed countless surgeries, he knew that Chen Gang¡¯s operation was very impressive.


    Such a commonplace appendectomy had even made Liu Jian halt and watch for so long.


    In the end, it came to skin closure, and Zhang Zhixin suddenly laughed, ¡°Kid, did you say my skin closure was too ugly? I specialize in medical aesthetics, yet you criticized me like that. Come on, let¡¯s see how you do it.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, his mouth obscured by the mask, but his eyes deliberately flashed with challenge as he signaled, ¡°Watch carefully!¡±


    Today, with the needle-holder in hand, when will he bind the abdominal skin!


    Chen Gang¡¯s skin closure was not just high-level; more importantly, it was aesthetically pleasing!


    His expertise in achieving a beautiful closure was his specialty, and coupled with the ¡°Beautiful Eyes,¡± Chen Cang skillfully threaded the needle and outlined the skin, effortlessly creating a faint suture mark.


    This left Zhang Zhixin, who was ready to turn the tables and teach Chen Cang a lesson, utterly dumbstruck!


    But before he could even speak, anesthesiologist Liu Jian suddenly exclaimed, ¡°That¡¯s a beautiful closure! Old Zhang, aren¡¯t you in medical aesthetics? How come I feel it¡¯s more beautiful than what you sew?¡±


    ¡°Smack! Smack! Smack!¡± It was as if Zhang Zhixin heard three loud slaps echoing beside his ear, resoundingly clear!


    Recalling Chen Gang¡¯s earlier comment that his closure was somewhat ugly¡­ Zhang Zhixin felt uncomfortable.


    And Chen Bingsheng also sighed, looking at Old Zhang with regret and consolation, ¡°Actually¡­ you¡¯re only just a bit off.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin looked at Chen Bingsheng and, seeing him offering comfort, nodded to himself, encouraging his own spirit: Pick yourself up, Zhang Zhixin! The gap isn¡¯t big, just that little bit. You must make up your mind to catch up on what you¡¯re falling behind!


    But there was something Old Chen didn¡¯t say: It¡¯s just¡­ that your ¡°little bit¡± is somewhat too much ahead.


    Looking at the tall and commanding Zhang Zhixin, Old Chen let out a soft sigh.

 Chapter 61 - 61B: Repaid a peach with a plum.

    61B: Repaid a peach with a plum.


    Translator: 549690339 |


    The following events were quite straightforward.


    For Chen Bingsheng and Zhang Zhixin, it was also straightforward, simply a role reversal.


    Under the strong leadership of Chen Cang, a teaching lesson led by Zhang Zhixin and Chen Bingsheng, with demonstrations and lectures, stubbornly turned into a training session with smartphone cameras rolling.


    A few appendectomy surgeries concluded.


    A nurse from the neighboring operating room came over to hurry them: ¡°Doctor Liu, the surgery in the adjacent department is about to start, they are urging you to come over for the anesthesia.¡±


    Liu Jian, still not fully satisfied, licked his lips: ¡°Young Chen, watching you operate is a pleasure!¡±


    ¡°Next time you¡¯re doing surgery, let me know in advance, and I¡¯ll come to administer the anesthesia!¡±


    With that, he scurried away.


    The nurse was left surprised. After all, Liu Jian was known as the top anesthetist, highly skilled and extremely safe-most doctors hoped to have him as their anesthetist.


    Even the department head was picky when it came to having Liu Jian.


    But this time¡­ Liu Jian volunteering to do anesthesia was exceedingly rare.


    Looking up at Chen Cang, she saw nothing but good looks!


    Meanwhile.


    Zhang Zhixin and Chen Bingsheng were still there, discussing in whispers only audible to themselves:


    Old Chen: ¡°The separation of the appendix was excellent just now, but I have a question about why¡­¡±


    Old Zhang: ¡°I don¡¯t get it either! Askyoung Chen.¡±


    Old Chen, with a glum face: ¡°It¡¯s your turn this time, you ask. I¡¯ve already just asked; asking again would make it seem like my IQ_is in arrears.¡¯


    Old Zhang, his face turning slightly red, embarrassed: ¡°He has already criticized me several times; it¡¯s too shameful¡­ After all¡­ I¡¯m his boss, aren¡¯t


    I?¡±


    Old Chen, sternly: ¡°I¡¯m still his teacher!¡±


    They all left the operating room together and returned to the changing room. Chen Bingsheng stretched lazily: ¡°Young Chen, take my white coat to the ward, we¡¯re washing them all together tomorrow, I¡¯m not going up there.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Alright, boss.¡±


    The moment Chen Bingsheng heard the word ¡°boss,¡± the gloom of the whole afternoon vanished, and he took a satisfying breath as the air seemed much


    fresher. It felt great.


    Seeing this, Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit competitive: ¡°Young Chen, remember to come on Saturday. I¡¯ll let you do the suturing. You¡¯ll get to perform a double eyelid surgery yourself!¡±


    Chen Gang¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing this; he had been eager to try it for a while. This was a great opportunity!


    He quickly said, ¡°Roger that! No problem, Boss Zhang!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin nodded in satisfaction: ¡°Hmm, if you do well, I will let you do it on your own in the future.¡±


    At these words, Chen Cang broke into a blissful smile because this was the real deal. A double eyelid surgery could net a thousand bucks, unlike the previous appendectomy, where the supervising physician, Zhang Zhixin, made less than a hundred.


    Chen Cang: ¡°Boss Zhang is generous!¡±


    It was already around six o¡¯clock, and Chen Cang couldn¡¯t go home yet. He had to go up and hurry to complete the medical records and check on the patients to see if everything was okay before he could leave work.


    When he arrived at the office, he remembered he had forgotten to take the UK (a key-like device similar to a USB flash drive used for logging into the hospital system) which he had left in the locker room of the operating theatre.


    In a rush, he went down to quickly retrieve the UK and then visited the restroom.


    In the restroom, he suddenly heard voices from outside. Listening closely, he recognized them as familiar; they belonged to the surgeons Zhang Youfu and


    Zhang Zhixin.


    Out of curiosity, he began to listen intently.


    Zhang Youfu had just come out of the operating room when he happened to bump into Zhang Zhixin. Seeing him, he immediately frowned and asked, ¡°What was going on today?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin pretended to be clueless and gave a bewildered smile, ¡± Director, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zhang Youfu¡¯s voice grew low, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to pass the few appendectomy operations you had to Zhou Xiaodong? He has a competition the day after tomorrow. Let him practice more. If he passes, Zhou will become a full-fledged member of our department. As one of us, you should help out young Zhou


    more!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin laughed awkwardly, ¡°Director, those three operations were quite special; they were cases brought in by my connections, so I had to perform the surgeries myself.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Youfu snorted coldly, ¡°The little nurse in the operating room told me ¨C the surgery just now was performed by that ER doctor, Chen Cang, and Chen Bingsheng was there too. How many times have I told you not to be so close to Chen Bingsheng all the time? You¡¯re in general surgery, and he¡¯s in emergency. You need to understand your place.


    Zhang Zhixin attempted to feign ignorance, ¡°Ahem, it¡¯s all one hospital, after all. We often collaborate with the ER on surgeries. Besides, Chen and I are old classmates. I just happened to run into him earlier and couldn¡¯t get away.¡±


    Zhang Youfu, not pleased upon hearing this, sighed, ¡°Zhixin, you have to differentiate between personal and professional matters. Haven¡¯t I been good to you? I¡¯ve never said anything about the cosmetic workyou do on the side, but you still have to be diligent in your duties here. As part of our general surgery team, you should contribute to the department, shouldn¡¯t you?¡± On hearing this, Zhang Zhixin suddenly felt annoyed. It was clear he was being threatened with the fact that he performed cosmetic surgeries outside.


    Who in the hospital doesn¡¯t have some side business? Director Zhang Youfu himself often performs ¡®flying knife¡¯ surgeries. What difference does it make?


    Yet, there was no helping it; that¡¯s just how the system works. If someone is the director, you have to cooperate with the leadership, comply with their arrangements, and understand their decisions with positivity!


    Zhang Zhixin nodded, ¡°Alright, Director, I understand. I¡¯ll be more careful in the future. I have some family matters to attend to, so I¡¯ll be leaving now.¡±


    Having said that, Zhang Zhixin intended to leave.


    Zhang Youfu didn¡¯t say anything but snorted coldly and walked away.


    Chen Cang remained silent in the restroom¡­


    Upsetting the director in the department was no trifling matter, and Chen Cang had seen his fair share of petty retaliation.


    There was once a senior doctor in orthopedics who had been at the hospital for over twenty years and was quite skilled, especially known for his excellent surgeries, earning high praise from patients. When the old director retired, this doctor was a hopeful candidate for the position, but someone else squeezed him out.


    The senior doctor was naturally resentful, but with a belly full of grievances, there was nothing he could say.


    The new director and the senior doctor didn¡¯t see eye to eye and particularly resented that the latter¡¯s surgeries were better than his own. After all, how would it look in a department if a junior doctor outshone the director in surgery?


    So, he simply assigned the senior doctor to the outpatient clinic, under the pretext of, ¡°Your surgeries are already so good; give the younger doctors some opportunities. You should spend more time in the outpatient clinic.¡±


    With those words, the senior doctor was relegated to the outpatient clinic, where he stayed for a year or two without being given opportunities to perform surgeries, eventually falling behind in skills until he resigned and left the hospital.


    Sometimes, the atmosphere within a department can be very difficult¡­


    Unless you truly have a prestigious background or an appealing appearance¡­ or if you possess extraordinary skills, like being the only one capable of performing a certain surgery that no one else can ¨C that would also suffice.


    If you¡¯re just slightly more talented, it doesn¡¯t really amount to much; you still can¡¯t avoid being manipulated by others.


    Thinking of how Zhang Zhixin had helped him so much that day, Chen Cang was somewhat moved.


    He also found himself harboring several plans in his heart.


    Given time, he would certainly repay the favor!

 Chapter 62 - Chapter 62: When water comes, soil covers!

    Chapter 62: When water comes, soil covers!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Cang returned home, tidied up his things, and prepared to rest early.


    Suddenly, he received a system notification:


    [Ding! Given the substantial amount of recent task rewards, to make your source of funds more transparent and avoid unnecessary trouble, the system will provide financial management services for you. Future rewards obtained from tasks will be supplied through financial management services.]


    Upon hearing this news, Chen Gang¡¯s first reaction was happiness!


    After all, those rewards of a few dozen yuan he initially received could be obtained through lotteries and the like.


    But if the amount gets larger later on, it couldn¡¯t possibly be prizes all the time, could it?


    What if I win every day and bankrupt Old Ma?


    Even if I don¡¯t bankrupt him¡­ it¡¯s still very uncomfortable to have someone


    investigate you every day.


    Therefore, he was quite satisfied with this move from the system, as it eliminated future worries and made the source of funds more legitimate, ensuring a worry-free, comfortable life!


    Chen Cang coughed, feeling like he sounded a bit like an advertisement.


    After Chen Cang clicked [Agree!] he found that his cellphone rang.


    It was a text message alert:


    ¡°Dear customer 186***1132, your account with China Construction Bank


    ending in 0936 has been successfully opened¡­¡±


    Account opened successfully?


    The situation became even more mysterious after, as Chen Cang found that a new app had suddenly appeared on his phone.


    ¡°Tonghuashun¡±


    But currently, he didn¡¯t own any stocks.


    The system helping me to trade stocks?


    Sounds good!


    Lying in bed tossing and turning unable to sleep, he decided to pick up a book titled ¡°Neuroanatomy¡± to read, and about three minutes later, fell into a


    peaceful sleep.


    Compared to English books, this ¡°Neuroanatomy¡± is definitely a blessing for the insomniac medical workers; Chen Cang had been watching it for three years.


    The only downside is that the book is too thick, and it hurts a bit when it falls on your face.


    The night passed without incident, and the next morning, Chen Cang got up early as usual, got ready, and went to the hospital.


    After a heavy rain last night, the weather was refreshingly clear.


    Just as he entered the hospital, the system notification sounded:


    [Ding! Daily task (complete tasks for ten consecutive days to receive a special daily task): Independently complete five appendectomies. Task completion reward: Advanced Medical English Skills.]


    Chen Cang was taken aback!


    There¡¯s this rule too?


    It seems that these daily tasks are like sign-in bonuses, with even special tasks available.


    However¡­ this daily task is indeed a bit challenging.


    Independently complete five appendectomy surgeries, where would he find so many patients?


    But upon seeing the reward, Chen Cang was truly envious.


    Advanced English skills!


    Chen Gang¡¯s English was passable, at about level six, but since much of modern medicine has been introduced from abroad, a superior command of medical English is really beneficial for his future development and progress.


    Although Director Li Baoshan was over fifty, his fluent English provided him the chance to attend many international conferences.


    How could I complete the task?


    Having encountered such a task, Chen Cang really wanted to complete it.


    There was a competition tomorrow, and Chen Cang wasn¡¯t too worried about it; today, the director had asked him to follow and participate in several surgeries, which was something Chen Cang aspired to do.


    Following a provincial medical expert, there is, no, a one percent chance of picking up a skill.


    Soon the time for the shift change came, and when Li Baoshan entered the office he seemed noticeably displeased, pulling a long face, he finished the handover and then said:


    ¡°I need to say something.¡±


    Suddenly, everyone exchanged glances. Who had managed to offend our


    Director Li?


    Li Baoshan stood there, his mood visibly low, his voice carrying a hint of anger, ¡°This morning I received news that around ten o¡¯clock, the hospital records department and the medical insurance department are going to inspect the emergency department.¡±


    ¡°Everyone with patients who underwent appendectomies, cholecystectomies, and other surgeries like that needs to transfer them to the general surgery department. Otherwise, the medical insurance will be checking. I¡¯ll send down the list in a moment, see if you have any such patients on hand.


    The main function of the emergency department is to transfer patients, completing the first pre-hospital step by moving patients who need it to different departments.


    So, upon hearing this, people underneath immediately displayed their displeasure, especially Shi Na, who had many such patients under her care.


    As a comprehensive department, the emergency room can handle both serious and minor illnesses, and emergency doctors often treat the emergency department as a regular ward, frequently admitting minor surgeries to increase their income.


    These minor surgeries are basically something that everyone can do and are traditionally not heavily regulated.


    But now with the medical insurance and records department coming to inspect, it was clear they were looking to stir up trouble!


    Shi Na was instantly unhappy, ¡°Director, we¡¯ve been doing this all along, so why are they suddenly checking? I have four or five patients under me scheduled for surgery today. Transferring them now will add to the patients¡¯ burden, and bring a lot of trouble, too.¡±


    Li Baoshan was also not in good spirits; how could he not be aware of who was stirring the pot?


    The emergency doctors already don¡¯t earn much, relying on these minor surgeries to make extra money. You, general surgery, with your big business and bigger operation, still have the nerve to covet the minor surgeries of the emergency department, how shameful!


    And there was Zhang Youfu; the man truly lacked ambition, resorting to such actions for the sake of a junior doctor.


    Thinking of this, Li Baoshan was fuming, ¡°This is a sudden inspection by the hospital, just for these couple of days. After this blows over, everything will go back to usual. Everyone prepare properly and don¡¯t let the medical insurance find reasons to dock our pay.¡±


    At this, Chen Cang completely understood!


    This was a strike against him!


    Who was aiming at the emergency department?


    Even with his capabilities, Zhang Youfu wouldn¡¯t dare to directly target the emergency department, right?


    If he transferred his patients now, he would have no surgeries to practice on. Once the competition was over and the patients discharged, the next batch of patients wouldn¡¯t matter.


    It was obvious they were trying to prevent him from practicing properly!


    On the one hand, this wouldn¡¯t long-term harm the interests of the emergency doctors, and on the other hand, it achieved their goals. Why wouldn¡¯t they do it?


    With this in mind, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but let out a cold laugh.


    I¡¯m afraid your calculations are wrong, and your plans will come to nothing!


    This time, I¡¯ll show you what it means to be a cut above the rest!


    After leaving the office, Li Baoshan went back to his desk and picked up the phone to make a call.


    ¡°Hello? Director Yang, this is Li Baoshan. Do you have any appendix surgeries today?¡±


    ¡°Oh! No, no problem, just¡­ ¡±


    Li Baoshan was always a man of his word; he had promised to take Chen Cang to practice and provide guidance, and he intended to keep that promise.


    But he hadn¡¯t expected Zhang Youfu to cause such a problem over a student, resulting in the loss of surgeries in his own department.


    If there were none left, then he would have to look elsewhere!


    With this thought, he picked up his mobile phone and made several calls in succession, reaching out to hospitals where he frequently performed emergency surgeries.


    After a long search, he finally found one not far from the provincial capital, just an hour and a half¡¯s drive away.


    He called Chen Cang into the office.


    ¡°Pack up, you¡¯re going with me on a quick surgical visit. There are a few appendix surgeries that will be a good learning opportunity for you.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, how could he not understand the situation, ¡°Director, there¡¯s no need to trouble yourself, I feel my skills in appendix surgery are already competent. You don¡¯t have to go to such lengths¡­


    Honestly, Chen Cang was deeply grateful for Li Baoshan¡¯s actions. For a director to follow through on his word was indeed commendable.


    Hearing Chen Gang¡¯s response, Li Baoshan felt a bit reassured, glad that the young man understood his intentions and appreciated the effort he was making.


    But still with a stern face, he said, ¡°Nonsense, when is surgery ever just okay? Any kind of surgery requires relentless practice to improve! Hurry up, we leave in ten minutes. I¡¯m going to speak with Old Chen and let him know.¡±


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, looking at Li Baoshan with a surge of happiness. Not only did he have a chance to complete his task, but more importantly¡­ he had found himself a good leader!

 Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Show Off a Skill

    Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Show Off a Skill


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Lan County is located to the north of Anyang city, the provincial capital of Dongyang Province.


    It is still under the jurisdiction of Anyang City Government. The county is not large, with a population of just over three hundred thousand.


    Li Baoshan owned a specialized vehicle for surgery, a Suzuki Jimny. The car wasn¡¯t big, but it performed well, was reasonably priced, and he always drove it for surgeries.


    The Jimny had only two seats, and Chen Cang sat beside him. Throughout the journey, Li Baoshan kept explaining the important details of the surgery to Chen Cang. It took a little over an hour to arrive at Lan County People¡¯s Hospital.


    The head of general surgery at Lan County People¡¯s Hospital was named Duan Bo. Seeing Li Baoshan arrive, he came up with a smile, ¡°Director Li is here.¡± Li Baoshan smiled back, ¡°Yes, Director Duan, let me introduce to you Chen Cang from our department. He¡¯s a very promising young man. I brought him today to operate.¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang, this is Director Duan Bo, the head of general surgery at Lan County People¡¯s Hospital.¡±


    Chen Cang took the initiative to greet him, ¡°Director Duan, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡±


    Duan Bo had a friendly face and when he smiled, his eyes seemed to disappear Squinting his eyes, he said, ¡°Good, good, don¡¯t just stand in the doorway, come inside to talk.¡±


    The three of them arrived at the office without any formalities, as Li Baoshan was a regular visitor who frequently performed surgeries here. So Duan Bo got straight to the point:


    ¡°Director Li, I heard that you¡¯re coming to our hospital to demonstrate an appendectomy. We¡¯ve gathered all the patients in the hospital in need of the procedure, a total of eight people, so you¡¯re in for a busy day.¡±


    Li Baoshan smiled appreciatively, ¡°I appreciate it, Director Duan.¡±


    Duan Bo quickly waved his hand dismissively. Li Baoshan¡¯s status in Dongyang Province was significant-if he could do a favor and cultivate good will, Duan Bo certainly wouldn¡¯t refuse such an opportunity.


    Besides, this didn¡¯t even count as a hassle for Duan Bo; in fact, it was a win-win situation. With just a little organization, it would turn into a great opportunity for the hospital.


    Leaving the director¡¯s office, the trio proceeded to the ward where they immediately saw a banner hanging at the nurses¡¯ station: ¡°Welcome Prestigious Physician Li Baoshan for Guidance on Appendectomy Surgery¡± This gave Chen Cang pause.


    Director Duan was no simple character, having transformed Li Baoshan¡¯s visit into an educational opportunity for the department¡¯s surgeons.


    After arriving, Li Baoshan wanted to see the patients and become familiar with their conditions.


    Once they entered the ward, the patients brightened up at the sight of Duan Bo. Duan Bo walked up to the patients, smiling, and said, ¡°This is our province¡¯s prestigious physician, Director LI. You¡¯re in luck today. He¡¯s going to personally perform your surgery.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the patients could not hide their delight, ¡°Thank you, Director Duan, you¡¯re a good man! Thank you, Director Li¡­¡±


    Duan Bo had managed to achieve multiple benefits with this one arrangement. He not only addressed Li Baoshan¡¯s requirements, but also improved the hospital¡¯s reputation among patients as well as trained and developed the skills of the grassroots doctors.


    No wonder he was selected as the director!


    Li Baoshan didn¡¯t mind this either.


    An hour later, Li Baoshan took Chen Cang to the operating room. However, by that time, virtually all of the general surgery doctors except the on-call physicians had arrived.


    Duan Bo addressed the crowd, ¡°Despite his busy schedule, Director Li has taken the time to perform an appendectomy. Everyone should study hard and pay attention to the details, making sure to turn this learning experience into your own asset.¡±


    The surgery began with Chen Cang assisting, while the others watched from their positions in the room which featured a large screen for everyone to see clearly.


    Meanwhile, Duan Bo donned surgical attire to assist as well.


    Li Baoshan glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°I¡¯ll do the first one, then it¡¯s your turn, so I can assess your skill level.¡±


    With that, Li Baoshan started the surgery.


    To be honest, the expertise of a professional is immediately evident, and Li Baoshan¡¯s incision was spot on.


    Each layer had a different sensation-the skin, subcutaneous tissue, external oblique aponeurosis¡­ the peritoneum.


    After opening the abdomen, they could see some pus and a foul smell emanated from adhesive ileocecal slices.


    Without any hesitation, Li Baoshan began the procedure.


    The surgery wasn¡¯t extraordinarily difficult, but he performed it with great care.


    Quickly locating the mesoappendix, he executed an 8-figure suture to ligate the appendicular artery¡­


    The operation was swift, each step precise, and Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but admire Director Li¡¯s skillful expertise.


    At least a 90 out of too!


    After the patient was taken away, applause erupted around the room.


    After washing up, they continued with the second surgery.


    This time, after discussing with Duan Bo, Li Baoshan allowed Chen Cang to perform the procedure.


    The surrounding doctors, seeing how young Chen Cang was, became curious, some even skeptical and eager to see what would happen.


    Being doctors themselves, and seeing someone younger than them, naturally incited comparisons!


    [Ding! Mission triggered: Show Off Your Skills. Mission Requirement: Make everyone take notice with this appendectomy and conquer everyone present with your ability. Mission Reward: Surgical Technique Improvement.]


    When Chen Cang heard the system mission, he was momentarily taken aback.


    Show off your skills?


    Conquer everyone with your ability, including¡­ Li Baoshan?


    After the patient was brought in, and it was a typical appendectomy, Chen Cang¡¯s mind whirred, and he suddenly knew what he had to do!


    Minimally invasive appendectomy!


    The moment Chen Cang picked up the scalpel, everyone started watching seriously.


    Especially Li Baoshan, who stared intently at Chen Cang¡¯s hands.


    And at this moment, Chen Cang held the scalpel in a curved hand and made an incision!


    A tiny incision, barely less than 2cm, appeared!


    The incision was so small, only between l-2cm, just enough to fit the index finger and the appendix clamp!


    Everyone was stunned!


    What was he doing?


    A mistake?


    Beginners often make one error: a lack of decisiveness, like hesitating to butcher a pig.


    Could Chen Cang have really made such a basic mistake?


    But at this time, Chen Cang, unhurried, continued the next step without enlarging the incision!


    This left everyone dumbfounded.


    What are you trying to pull off?


    If it were a laparoscopic operation, this incision would be fine, but this is a conventional surgery. With such a tiny incision, what could you possibly do?


    In no time at all, all the doctors began to furrow their brows and even started whispering among themselves.


    Meanwhile, Duan Bo and Li Baoshan exchanged a glance, deep in thought.


    Li Baoshan didn¡¯t interrupt Chen Cang; on the contrary, he was somewhat expectant.


    The surgery continued.


    Chen Cang carefully separated the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles, then bluntly spread them apart with a small hook retractor.


    After lifting the peritoneum and ensuring there were no intestinal loops, Chen


    Cang began to incise the peritoneum.


    And at that moment, Li Baoshan suddenly understood!


    He was performing a minimally invasive appendectomy!


    This kid, he could actually perform such a ¡°show-off¡± operation?


    Indeed, the minimally invasive appendectomy was extremely demanding on the surgeon and tested the surgeon¡¯s basic skills and anatomical awareness.


    This kind of surgery had only started to emerge in recent years and was not yet widespread.


    Even Li Baoshan had seen it only a few times, and he hadn¡¯t expected Chen Cang to perform such a surgery!


    As expected, Chen Cang said, ¡°Tilt the operating table about 20 degrees to the left.¡±


    Confirmed!


    It was a minimally invasive surgery.


    When Chen Cang spoke these words, Li Baoshan was immediately certain!


    It was a minimally invasive surgery.


    Next, he used the retractor to widen the incision, pushing the omentum towards the upper left and searching for the appendix along the colon.


    This step was effortless for Chen Cang, who did it as naturally as a fish swims in water!


    And at that moment, how could the surrounding people not realize what was happening?


    The doctors around him also had a moment of realization, thinking of a method of appendectomy that was particularly popular in the surgical academic community!


    So they whispered, ¡°Is he going to perform a minimally invasive appendectomy?¡±


    No sooner had these words been spoken than everyone around couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback.


    Holy cow!


    Is that even possible?

 Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Throwing Knife? Throwing Knife!

    Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Throwing Knife? Throwing Knife!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Laparoscopic appendix removal surgery has its incomparable advantages, but over the years, the shortcomings of laparoscopic surgery have also become increasingly apparent.


    During laparoscopic surgery, many complications and accidents can arise due to the puncture of the laparoscope and the insufflation of the abdomen.


    Therefore, more and more surgical workers have begun to research, leading to the emergence of a surgical method called ¡°Small Incision Appendix Removal Surgery.¡±


    This surgical method can not only make up for the defects of traditional surgeries with large wounds but also satisfy the needs of many patients.


    In Li Baoshan¡¯s eyes, Chen Gang¡¯s surgery was an eye-opener, while in Duan Bo¡¯s eyes, it was like looking at a lover!


    He had never expected Chen Cang to use this surgical method!


    Excitement!


    Longing!


    Why so?


    Because grassroots hospitals seldom use laparoscopes now, the cost is too high, the expenses in all aspects, firstly because of the high investment by the hospital and secondly because of the heavy burden on patients.


    If their hospital could carry out this Small Incision Appendix Removal Surgery, it could completely rely on this surgical method to attract more patients, enhancing the entire hospital¡¯s reputation!


    He even foresaw the great potential of the Small Incision Appendix Removal Surgery.


    This is undoubtedly a fantastic thing!


    Indeed, Duan Bo, who had a keen eye, recognized the advantages of using small incision surgery for acute simple appendicitis and mild acute suppurative appendicitis, such as short operation time, small trauma, small scars, and quick recovery. It is a minimally invasive technique suitable for promotion in primary healthcare institutions.


    However, primary care doctors haven¡¯t mastered this technique, as it is still in its early stages and not yet widespread. The requirements for surgeons are extremely high, and very few dare to attempt it.


    Chen Cang had a very steady hand. Grasping the distal end of the appendix, he cut it close to the appendix wall using an electrocautery device, and finally, the appendix was removed!


    Chen Cang cherished his hands, not just because they were like his left and right girlfriends but because an excellent surgeon must have a pair of dexterous hands, which is an essential requirement.


    Everyone around him was enchanted by what they saw; they couldn¡¯t believe that even a junior doctor from a provincial hospital could be so impressive!


    For a moment, everyone nodded in agreement, reflecting on what they witnessed.


    Everyone gives enough respect to the strong.


    At this moment, Chen Cang had won over everyone present with a ¡°Small Incision Appendix Removal Surgery!¡±


    Li Baoshan, a well-traveled man who frequently attended various conferences, was no stranger to small incision surgery, but¡­ being familiar with it and knowing how to perform it were two different things.


    Li Baoshan could operate too, but he seldom did so because big hospitals like Second Provincial Hospital wouldn¡¯t opt for such surgeries. Typically, it was either a regular appendix removal or a laparoscopic appendix removal.


    Moreover, doctors from tertiary hospitals often looked down on such minor surgeries and wouldn¡¯t spend a great deal of effort learning and performing this type of surgical method.


    Investing a lot of energy in learning a minor surgery was something that nobody would foolishly do.


    How much does an appendectomy cost?


    How much does a gastrectomy cost?


    The logic is simple.


    Having seen such surgeries before, Li Baoshan was all the more astounded because he found that the Small Incision Appendix Removal Surgery performed by Chen Cang was even more elegant than that of a leading expert he had seen at a conference in Kyoto!


    That¡¯s right!


    So, Li Baoshan was genuinely amazed by Chen Gang¡¯s performance.


    Small Incision Appendix Removal Surgery may not be suitable for large tertiary hospitals, but for primary care, it¡¯s a different story.


    After the implementation of the hierarchical medical system, primary hospitals mostly deal with minor illnesses. Appendectomies, cholecystectomies¡­ these are the most common diseases. If you can do well in a few such diseases, then you¡¯re the top choice!


    The young doctors immediately widened their eyes. They weren¡¯t fools and could discern the significance of what they had witnessed; if they could master the technique, wouldn¡¯t they become the rising stars of general surgery?


    Each one of them began breathing rapidly, wishing they could immediately assist Chen Cang!


    And for Duan Bo, the director of general surgery, the excitement was even greater.


    How old was Duan Bo this year?


    37!


    The prime age for a surgeon. After witnessing Chen Cang perform the operation, he had already decided to keep Chen Gang¡¯s skills within the general surgery department of Lan County People¡¯s Hospital.


    To invite this ¡°provincial second hospital expert¡± more often to the grassroots for consultations and surgical assistance!


    At this thought, Duan Bo felt a surge of excitement.


    If he could turn the general surgery department into the leading surgical department in Lan County, then the future¡­


    Chen Cang finished suturing, and as the last knot was tied,


    Applause suddenly arose around him!


    It continued on and on!


    The patient lying on the bed was even more thrilled and happy, thinking, ¡°Such vigorous applause must mean the operation went very well. Experts truly are experts!¡±


    After the patient left, even Li Baoshan, who was usually quite stern, looked at Chen Cang with satisfaction: ¡°Not bad, you really had me fooled. I never expected that you could perform an appendectomy through a small incision this well! It seems I didn¡¯t understand you well enough before. Chen, you¡¯re quite impressive, and I have high hopes for you. You must stay in the emergency department!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled: ¡°I can only perform simple surgeries. Don¡¯t praise me too much, Director.¡±


    As soon as Duan Bo heard this, he immediately chimed in: ¡°Expert Chen, you¡¯re amazing, truly amazing! This small incision appendectomy is the best I¡¯ve ever seen!¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile.


    [Ding! Mission of showing off your skills completed, reward: improved new technique for small incision appendectomy.]


    [Ding! The new technique for small incision appendectomy can effectively enhance the safety of the surgery and compensates for the deficiencies of small incision operations, broadening the scope of its clinical application.]


    No sooner had the voice fallen than Chen Cang felt his mind fill with an abundance of new information.


    Reflecting carefully on the surgery he had just performed, it seemed that it indeed had many shortcomings!


    This¡­ was quite thought-provoking!


    The limitations of small incision appendectomy protocols were quite pronounced, but if the method was modified in this way, the outcomes could indeed be very impressive.


    He had performed four surgeries in the morning and had a surgical meal for lunch. During the meal, everyone discussed the techniques and methods of small incision appendectomy.


    And Chen Cang undoubtedly became the center of attention.


    During lunch, Duan Bo came over, looking a bit embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Chen Cang, ¡°Expert Chen, could I ask you for a favor?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled: ¡°Director Duan, please don¡¯t call me an expert, it feels awkward.¡±


    Duan Bo also smiled: ¡°An expert is an expert, and must be addressed as such. Besides, patients won¡¯t feel at ease if I don¡¯t call you that. Sometimes as a doctor, you need not only skills but also the patients¡¯ confidence.¡±


    Chen Cang paused, struck by the logic of the words.


    Duan Bo continued, ¡°That¡¯s how it is, Expert Chen, could I invite you to our hospital to ¡®throw the flying knife¡¯? Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll pay the expert fees in full!¡±


    ps: Heading to Sanjiang in the afternoon. You guys can go and make a small profit there. Hehe¡­

 Chapter 65 - Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Mr. Chen Can Do More Than Just Appendectomies

    Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Mr. Chen Can Do More Than Just Appendectomies


    Translator: 549690339


    Duan Bo¡¯s words directly left Chen Cang in a daze!


    Asking me to perform flying knife surgery?


    Could I, a mere junior doctor, really perform flying knife surgery?


    At that thought, Chen Gang¡¯s little heart couldn¡¯t help but beat excitedly, because being asked to perform flying knife surgery was definitely a high recognition of one¡¯s abilities.


    For a surgeon, this was an honor without a badge!


    But after calming down,


    Chen Cang hurriedly said, ¡°This¡­ Director Duan, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to, but my abilities are limited right now, I¡¯m only good at performing appendectomy, the other¡­¡±


    Duan Bo hurriedly said, ¡°Expert Chen, what we are asking for is precisely the appendectomy, and¡­ what we want is just that, the small incision appendectomy! An expert fee of 2000 yuan per case, with food, accommodation, and travel expenses covered, and a lecture at 2000 yuan per session, other fees are negotiable, how does that sound?¡±


    Duan Bo was very shrewd; he did not ask why Chen Cang was reluctant but simply laid out the price!


    2000 yuan for a single expert fee!


    2000 yuan for a lecture!


    Is that a lot?


    Not bad at all!


    To Chen Cang, it was a lot, as common junior doctors don¡¯t get such treatment and wealth. Forget about being called out to perform flying knife surgery, one might not even get the chance to perform surgeries in their own hospital.


    For junior doctors, this sum of money was far from insignificant.


    It wasn¡¯t a small amount for Duan Bo either!


    The funds had to come from the department¡¯s budget, not from the ¡°expert fees¡± charged to patients.


    Duan Bo was thinking of acquiring the technique, hoping that Chen Cang would leave behind the ¡°small incision appendectomy¡± so that everyone in the department could learn it.


    Eventually, when the department could promote and make the small incision appendectomy widely recognized, turning it into a major feature of the hospital, this amount of money would seem insignificant.


    It must be said that Duan Bo had capability, courage, and vision!


    Sure enough, after hearing the offer, Chen Cang weighed his options and then nodded in agreement, ¡°Okay, but we¡¯ll have to communicate further regarding the timing.¡±


    Duan Bo eagerly replied, ¡°Of course, we¡¯ll follow Doctor Chen¡¯s schedule and discuss it when the time comes.¡±


    ¡°By the way, Doctor Chen, do you know how to drive?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, then smiled awkwardly, ¡°I can drive, but I don¡¯t own a car.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Duan Bo complimented him with a laugh, ¡°With your skills, Expert Chen, buying a car is just a matter of time, isn¡¯t it? If you don¡¯t have a car now, just call me when you come here next time, and I¡¯ll send someone to pick you up.¡±


    Li Baoshan drove somewhat fast, much like his personality¡ªenergetic and fiery.


    Li Baoshan rarely smiled, his expression and demeanor were quite serious. He wasn¡¯t tall, just under one meter seventy, of average build, with a face resembling that of Zhang Yi. Although his baldness was somewhat severe, he was very spirited, and his eyes were like X-rays, able to see through diseases and into people¡¯s hearts!


    He was the backbone of the emergency department at the Provincial Second Hospital. As the security guard Qin Taishan would say, with Director Li in the emergency department, there were no problems.


    Sitting in the car, Li Baoshan said thoughtfully, ¡°Chen, I really want to keep you here!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Director, I¡¯d like to work under you too.¡±


    Li Baoshan shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m getting old. Today, after watching you perform surgery, I was overcome with emotion. Young people should be like you, daring to lead, to do what others are afraid of doing! When I was young, I was the same, but now¡­ I¡¯m becoming less and less courageous!¡±


    The two of them conversed back and forth, never at a loss for words.


    [Ding! Daily task completed, special reward obtained: Medical English Skill (Advanced)]


    [Medical English, Advanced, Special Effect: Fluent Oral Expression.]


    As the mission was completed, a flood of information surged into Chen Gang¡¯s mind, suddenly endowing him with countless memories¡­ English vocabulary- specialized pharmaceutical terms¡­


    The only difference between medical English and general English is the abundance of professional terminology!


    Chen Cang occasionally read ¡°The Lancet,¡± but generally, it took him a long time to read an article, as the words were too complex, and he could not recognize them all.


    If you use Youdao to translate, it would not only be inaccurate, but it also wouldn¡¯t benefit your English proficiency much.


    While the English test for postgraduate admissions is uniform, the test for doctoral candidates is specialized in medical English, and in fact, Chen Cang still harbored an obsession with academic credentials.


    What if¡­


    What if there was a chance to apply for a doctorate?


    After returning, Chen Cang did not go to the hospital but instead went home early to rest.


    Today, after completing the task ¡°Show Off a Skill¡±, he acquired a new surgical technique, ¡°Minimally Invasive Appendectomy¡±.


    This thing represented a brand-new surgical method, which could compensate for many of the limitations and shortcomings of the previous minimally invasive appendectomy.


    Common minimally invasive appendectomy indeed has many advantages and is popular, but it has a significant flaw that its current diagnostic range is very limited.


    This new technique, which is an improvement of the minimally invasive appendectomy, enhances its initial basis by adapting to different conditions, increasing the range of indications for surgery.


    After seriously considering it, Chen Cang was truly shocked by the improved technique!


    Does this new technique not have any drawbacks?


    Of course it does!


    That is the extremely high requirements it places on the surgeon, who must master the anatomy of the abdominal cavity to perform the surgery with ease.


    Chen Cang pondered through the night and finally gained a more thorough understanding of this surgical method.


    Afterward, Chen Cang became curious¡ªwas this new technique available online?


    Could it be that he was the only one who mastered it?


    If that were the case¡­


    That would be impressive!


    To pioneer a new surgical technique, even if it¡¯s the most basic of operations, would be enough to prove one¡¯s ability.


    Chen Cang decided that tomorrow, he would give this new technique a chance to shine in the competition!


    Without further ado, Chen Cang got up early the next day and went to the hospital.


    Ding! Today¡¯s task: Today is a very important day in your life. Go show your skills, conquer them with your strength, and secure victory in the competition. Reward for completion: Advanced Cholecystectomy.


    Chen Cang smiled. Nice, it seemed his second go-to surgery was soon to be in his grasp!


    Cholecystectomy!


    Compared to appendectomy, cholecystectomy can rightfully be carried out in emergency departments, even if the medical insurance inspectors come, they couldn¡¯t object, as biliary tract diseases and the acute cholecystitis in critical illnesses are very dangerous. Emergency departments are fully capable of independently performing surgery.


    Even the surgical department has to coordinate with the emergency department for operations.


    Therefore, possessing such a skill was definitely good news for Chen Cang!


    Moreover, there are many indications for cholecystectomy, and diseases of the gallbladder and biliary tract are also quite common. In comparison, appendectomy is just recurrent appendicitis surgery.


    As a competent surgeon, you can¡¯t just know how to do an appendectomy, right?


    Even Cheng Yaojin had his three-axe trick!


    I, Chen Cang, can¡¯t only know how to remove appendixes, can I?

 Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The match begins

    Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The match begins


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Li Baoshan led Chen Cang to the operating room, saying as they walked, ¡°Today¡¯s competition involves performing three surgeries, two of which are appendectomy, and one is tendon suture surgery.¡±


    ¡°The experts invited this time are not from our hospital, but experts from outside specifically brought in for this purpose. However, they are all from our province. If you perform as well as you did yesterday, that should be enough. The three of you will operate at the same time, and the competition will be recorded by cameras inside the operating rooms.¡±


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t worry about fairness since the video recording will be there, and the scoring is also done openly with real names.¡±


    Li Baoshan walked Chen Cang to the door of the operating room and offered words of encouragement. At that moment, a portly man followed by an equally tall and robust young man, wearing a pair of Levis round-framed glasses, looking quite imposing, approached from a distance.


    Chen Cang recognized them. It was Comrade Zhang Youfu, the director of general surgery, and Zhou Xiaodong, who was competing with him this time.


    Upon seeing Li Baoshan, Zhang Youfu smiled, ¡°Director Li, you¡¯re quite early.¡±


    Li Baoshan, without a smile, merely nodded his head, not engaging further in conversation. Li Baoshan didn¡¯t have much fondness for Zhang Youfu, considering him too mercenary, much like a businessman or boss, and prone to resorting to various schemes to get things done, unbecoming of a surgeon.


    Even this competition among the students couldn¡¯t go without him stirring up some drama, which only reinforced Li Baoshan¡¯s preexisting disapproval of Zhang Youfu.


    Zhang Youfu was quite chubby, and his height of just over 1.7 meters hardly accommodated his several hundred pounds of cunning, resulting in a protruding belly and quivering jowls.


    Yet, this very man was the first in Dongyang Province to be able to lead and complete a liver transplant surgery.


    He was also the vice-chairman of the Dongyang Province Hepatobiliary Surgery Association.


    Provincial Hospital No. 2 was not a large hospital and didn¡¯t have a specialized hepatobiliary surgery department; instead, it was all under general surgery.


    Zhang Youfu did not deign to give Chen Cang a serious look from start to finish, walking directly toward the operating room with Zhou Xiaodong.


    Actually, this wasn¡¯t much of a grand competition and had few rules, simply involving experts comparing the three candidates and the hospital making a selection based on merit.


    After that, Shi Qi also arrived, followed by Li Shijian.


    Compared to Zhang Youfu, Shi Qi was known for being able to talk his way through the entire hospital.


    Five years ago, Provincial Hospital No. 2 didn¡¯t even have a thoracic surgery department, and Shi Qi was a breast surgery doctor.


    But our Dr. Shi managed to talk his way up, carving out a fiefdom for himself, miraculously transforming from a simple doctor to Director Shi.


    At the age of thirty-six, he became the youngest director at Provincial Hospital No. 2.


    In fact, a bootlicker, if they know how to flatter and whom to flatter, can indeed lick their way to a glorious life, reaching the pinnacle of their career.


    With the strong support from Tan Liguo, Shi Qi established the thoracic surgery department, seizing 15 beds from the pulmonary disease department, along with 8 nurses and a cleaning lady.


    The entire hospital knew Director Shi had a persuasive mouth and tongue, which caused junior doctors to look down on him and senior doctors to dismiss him with a laugh.


    Ever since becoming a director, Shi Qi started to put on airs. When former colleagues greeted him by name, he would show displeasure, after all, he was now a director, a rank above them, deserving of the title Director Shi!


    However, even though the thoracic surgery department was established, Director Shi used to handle thymus surgery and other minor procedures; suddenly having to perform lung resections was completely new to him!


    Not knowing how to do it was not a problem, as he could always find experts and recruit underlings!


    Thus, a ragtag team was forcefully assembled.


    Li Shijian was one of the underlings recruited to do the grunt work, a pitifully overworked man.


    As for the experts, they were big shots from the capital who came just to perform surgeries and left immediately afterward.


    The fifteen-bed thoracic surgery department was practically turned into a second breast surgery department. Some had brought this issue to the attention of the hospital director, but Director Shi had a reasonable counterargument:


    Isn¡¯t the breast outside of the chest wall?


    No problem!


    The breast is on the outside of the chest.


    But, if you put it that way,


    are fingernails on the outside of the hand?


    Can our hand surgery department start offering nail trimming and manicure services? Commonly known as the excision surgery of the epidermal keratinocyte community? Or human body keratinocyte hyperplasia cosmetic surgery?


    Hair is even more so outside of the brain, isn¡¯t it?


    Then should our neurosurgery department also undertake the removal of the scalp¡¯s connective tissue group (haircut)?


    This statement just stunned all the department heads present at the hospital meeting at that time.


    Is this something a surgeon would say?


    It¡¯s just a fart.


    However, sometimes, that¡¯s how helpless it is; obviously a fart, yet some people still praise it as being fragrantly sweet.


    Hospital life is full of all sorts of things, not just patients, but also doctors.


    As they say, a big forest houses many kinds of birds.


    A few people arrived in the operating room. The patient¡¯s comprehensive information, including medical records, was already prepared in detail. After reviewing it, they waited for the surgery to begin.


    Meanwhile, in the operating room, four or five people in their fifties had already settled down in the office outside the OR, chatting and laughing as they waited for the surgery to start.


    They were all well-acquainted from Dongyang Province.


    The large screen was split into three so that each procedure could be seen very clearly.


    The group started chatting and laughing:


    ¡°Director Liu, the People¡¯s Hospital of the province is getting better and better this year. At the hepatobiliary surgery conference last month, I remember you even invited the father of hepatobiliary surgery, Elder Wu!¡±


    ¡°Haha, Elder Wu is really nice. Actually, at more than ninety years old, we didn¡¯t want to trouble him, but as soon as Elder Wu heard about it, he made up his mind in a heartbeat, which I didn¡¯t expect¡­¡± Liu Siqi said with a smile, ¡°By the way, Director Qian, I see you¡¯re going to supervise a doctoral student this year?¡±


    Qian Liang nodded: ¡°Hmm, we are getting old, how many more years can we do surgeries? Better pass on the skills while we still have some strength left.¡±


    Everyone somewhat agreed with Qian Liang¡¯s statement. In fact, for a surgeon, there are three milestones: a rapid rise at the age of 35, a peak at the age of 45, and a decline starting at 55.


    Qian Liang¡¯s statement made these older folks reflect on the fleeting nature of time.


    Hao Xuliang, the vice-director in charge, was responsible for this competition.


    In fact, the hospitals often collaborate and interact with each other. A large operation requires several veteran generals to take charge, and they are quite familiar with each other from private relations. Most importantly, each hospital has research projects that require the approval of an expert panel when starting and finishing, and these are experts from Dongyang Province¡¯s surgical field. Hence, they see each other often.


    Hao Xuliang smiled: ¡°The surgery is about to begin; I hope the experts can give their comments later.¡±


    ¡°These young doctors are all quite good, but having the opportunity to receive comments from you experts today is also good fortune for them. I hope each expert will not hesitate to impart their knowledge.¡±


    The crowd nodded and laughed together: ¡°Of course, of course!¡±

 Chapter 67 - Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Leader Monster Appears!

    Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Leader Monster Appears!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Cang looked at the medical records and various test reports in his hand, recalling those countless appendix surgeries, and suddenly frowned slightly.


    ¡°The patient is only 12 years old, with transferred pain in the lower right abdomen accompanied by nausea and vomiting for 2 days, fever for one day, abdominal pain originating around the navel, which transferred to the lower right abdomen after 24 hours, presenting as persistent pain with episodic intensification. From previous physical examinations, there are no similar medical histories, upon inspection¡­ the abdominal muscles are tense, there¡¯s tenderness in the lower right abdomen, rebound tenderness, a clearly noticeable McBurney¡¯s point, weak bowel sounds, positive psoas sign, positive colon inflation test, negative obturator internus test¡­¡±


    Appendicitis was undoubtedly the issue!


    But still¡­ Chen Cang remained somewhat puzzled.


    Could it be a suspicion of ureteral calculi?


    But there were no symptoms of stones?


    Could it be¡­


    Chen Cang thought of a peculiar form of appendicitis!


    At that moment, the anesthesiologist who was an old acquaintance, Liu Jian, came in to prepare the anesthesia.


    However, as today was a competition, Liu Jian just nodded slightly without much conversation and proceeded to prepare for anesthesia.


    Chen Cang quickly intervened, saying, ¡°Brother Liu, hold on a moment, I want to recheck.¡±


    Liu Jian paused slightly, but he stopped nonetheless.


    Chen Cang approached the boy, who was visibly nervous. Seeing Chen Cang come over, he seemed at a loss and decided to simply close his eyes.


    Chen Cang said, ¡°I¡¯m going to touch your stomach in a moment, tell me if it hurts.¡±


    After speaking, Chen Gang¡¯s right hand began to press in a clockwise direction starting around the navel¡­


    ¡°It hurts!¡±


    As soon as he pressed down, the boy cried out in pain, frowning.


    Chen Cang nodded, and then he changed to a different position!


    A few minutes later, Chen Cang had an idea.


    This was likely a rare case: ¡°Extraperitoneal appendicitis!¡±


    Such cases are exceedingly rare, caused by abnormal evolution of the cecum during the embryonic period, with an incidence rate of only 2¡ã/o-8%.


    If this type of extraperitoneal appendicitis is not treated promptly, inflammation can easily spread and accumulate, affecting nearby organs such as the ureter, kidneys, pelvic blood vessels, causing very serious complications. In simple terms, this condition was somewhat tricky!


    But that¡¯s what it was for others.


    For Chen Cang, there was no pressure.


    He turned to Liu Jian and said, ¡°Brother Liu, it¡¯s all good.¡±


    Liu Jian looked puzzled and nodded, ¡°This appendix?¡±


    Chen Cang calmly replied, ¡°It¡¯s likely ectopic appendicitis, and moreover, extraperitoneal ectopic appendicitis!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Liu Jian immediately frowned.


    Because extraperitoneal appendicitis is extremely difficult to diagnose before surgery, and it is often only discovered during the exploration in surgery.


    Therefore, this disease often leads to major issues due to the surgeon¡¯s lack of preparation.


    Liu Jian cautiously asked, ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded!


    When administering the anesthesia, Liu Jian was also extra cautious, after all¡­ extraperitoneal appendicitis was something he remembered hearing about in school in Kyoto, but he had never seen it before.


    At that time, several people in the office who were watching the screen in the office were smiling and discussing among themselves. As for the scores, everyone had their own opinions, but that didn¡¯t obstruct their interaction with each other.


    ¡°Number one is very skilled, huh? Very precise techniques, the young lad is decent!¡±


    ¡°Number two is also good, but there¡¯s a bit of a gap compared to number one¡¯s grasp on the appendix.¡±


    ¡°Eh? Why hasn¡¯t number three started yet? What¡¯s going on¡­ why are they still performing a physical examination?¡±


    As expected, after the man spoke, the others also began to pay attention to number three.


    Because at that moment, everyone else had already begun surgery, and number one had already located the appendix and was preparing to remove it.


    Whereas number three had not even started!


    To a layperson, the verdict would have seemed obvious at a glance!


    But these were veterans experienced in the field; seeing this situation, their first reaction was to pick up and look at the medical records of the patient in the number three operating room.


    A brief glance seemed to reveal nothing unusual.


    This was a typical case of appendicitis, wasn¡¯t it?


    Liu Siqi naturally recognized that number three was Chen Cang. He held Chen Cang in high regard and even¡­ upon seeing Chen Cang, he felt like giving him a very low score!


    Then, he could take the opportunity to recruit Chen Cang.


    Of course, this was merely a thought.


    Actually, since coming in, he had been constantly monitoring Chen Cang, but seeing that he had not started the surgery for a long time, and even stopped the anesthesiologist from proceeding with anesthesia, he also became curious. What was he planning to do?


    Did he have doubts about the diagnosis?


    Impossible, right!


    Can¡¯t the hospital tell the difference between an appendectomy?


    That¡¯s why Liu Siqi had repeatedly reviewed the copied medical records three or four times from the start, but it was always those templates¡ªthere was nothing different!


    Could it be that Chen Cang can only suture tendons? Did I overestimate him?


    Liu Siqi couldn¡¯t help but doubt Chen Cang.


    Five judges, plus Hao Xuliang, all picked up the medical records to examine them closely.


    They checked everything from the medical records to the lab tests to the abdominal ultrasound and still couldn¡¯t figure it out!


    Even Hao Xuliang felt somewhat embarrassed; after all, Chen Cang was the legitimate one, the rightful person. It was a good thing he hadn¡¯t spoken, otherwise¡­ how embarrassing.


    They flipped through the medical records inside and out one or two times, and all came up empty-handed.


    However, Liu Siqi, who had reviewed the records five or six times, suddenly grasped a detail!


    That was that the patient¡¯s symptoms were very similar to those of urolithiasis!


    The ultrasound scan showed no signs of stones


    This¡­


    Liu Siqi suddenly froze!


    Retroperitoneal appendix???


    Upon thinking this, Liu Siqi had an epiphany.


    At this moment, it seemed everyone else had given up and already started shaking their heads.


    Seeing this, Liu Siqi spoke excitedly, ¡°What do you all think, is it possible that this patient has a retroperitoneal appendix?!¡±


    As soon as he said this, frowns formed on everyone¡¯s faces.


    At this time, Chen Cang had already started the surgery!


    His incision was light and shallow, seemingly simple, but it precisely cut through the abdomen¡­


    Chen Cang had to be careful; if it was a retroperitoneal appendix, it was best to be cautious and avoid spreading the inflammation.


    The incision was not large, 4cm.


    This was something Chen Cang had considered; too small an incision could lead to mistakes, but at 4cm, neither too large nor too small, it was enough for Chen Cang!


    After cutting open, a sudden stench wafted through the air!


    Chen Gang¡¯s eyes suddenly displayed a red arrow, and he was taken aback!


    The system had this function too? Helping him find the site of the lesion?


    Chen Cang looked at the indicated area and saw a dark red appendix; it was congested and swollen, with pus oozing around it, and the foul odor hit instantly.


    [Retroperitoneal purulent appendicitis monster, lv29, boss monster! Traits: High concealment, prone to inflammatory spread. Warning: Handle with care, do not act recklessly.]


    It was indeed retroperitoneal ectopic purulent appendicitis!


    And what¡¯s more, it was a big one!


    29th level, a boss monster!


    Would killing it drop a legendary item?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but be thrilled, as after all, it was him who had diagnosed and discovered it. Nothing made a doctor happier than such a moment.


    Meanwhile, the office was dead silent!


    Everyone held their breath and focused on the scene inside operating room number three.


    This is way too fake, right?


    This is a performance, isn¡¯t it?


    Out of hundreds of appendectomy surgeries, you hardly ever see such a thing, and today, I happened upon it, and it seems¡­ it was diagnosed by this young doctor?


    How is that possible!


    Several senior experts all frowned.


    Suddenly, a man couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°How did he know it was a retroperitoneal ectopic appendix? Such ectopic appendices are hard to diagnose¡­¡±


    With that remark, he expressed everyone¡¯s thoughts!


    Hao Xuliang was also stunned, his eyes full of disbelief, thinking, how unlucky was this kid to encounter such a strange thing!


    Liu Siqi didn¡¯t know what to say, realizing it was indeed retroperitoneal appendicitis. It was a good thing he hadn¡¯t acted rashly; otherwise¡­ inflammatory spread would have been completely detrimental to recovery later on.


    People around looked at Liu Siqi, their eyes filled with curiosity.


    Finally, someone couldn¡¯t resist asking, ¡°Old Liu¡­ are you a shill?¡±


    Liu Siqi glared angrily, ¡°You¡¯re the mop! How am I a shill!¡±


    The person wasn¡¯t offended and just smiled, ¡°Then how did you discover the possibility of a retroperitoneal ectopic appendix?¡±


    Liu Siqi scoffed and pointed to the medical record, ¡°Naturally, it¡¯s by skill! As the saying goes, ¡®read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will come to you¡¯¡­ if you just think carefully about the medical record, look it over and over, naturally¡­¡±


    Seeing Liu Siqi put on such a pretentious act, the crowd exchanged looks, and after three seconds, they finally couldn¡¯t hold back, ¡°Speakhuman!¡±

 Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Leader Monster Explodes Big Time!

    Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Leader Monster Explodes Big Time!


    Translator: 549690339


    Seeing that his attempt to impress had failed, Liu Siqi sighed and reluctantly told the truth:


    ¡°Cough cough¡­ I guessed, too. I deduced as much after seeing the various symptoms of the patient¡­ And then I still didn¡¯t quite understand, but I vaguely remembered that retroperitoneal ectopic appendicitis does indeed have symptoms similar to those of urinary tract stones. That¡¯s what led me to guess, and I didn¡¯t expect to actually get it right!¡±


    Everyone then nodded in satisfaction.


    That¡¯s more like it!


    If you, Liu Siqi, knew the answer and we were all clueless, wouldn¡¯t that make us look incompetent?


    So you didn¡¯t know either, which shows that we¡¯re all on the same page!


    The five of them looked at each other and shared a smile.


    However, when they looked up at the screen showing Operating Room No. 3, they were slightly taken aback.


    All five of us were clueless, but this young man knew.


    Does this mean¡­ we five are all subpar?


    Are we¡­ inferior to a youngster?


    At this thought, their faces flushed with embarrassment.


    We didn¡¯t know because we don¡¯t understand the patient well enough!


    Keep watching!


    Qian Liang was slightly startled, ¡°Look, this young man has very delicate techniques. Look at how proficient his excision method is; each step is very delicate.¡±


    Liu Siqi said, ¡°I have a question. Why did he make only a 4cm incision? Based on his initial confidence, he should have suspected retroperitoneal ectopic appendicitis, which is harder to deal with than the average case. So, why did he make a 4cm incision?¡±


    Everyone furrowed their brows at this question.


    Everyone fell into thought.


    Could 4cm represent some special technique?


    It was at this moment that Qian Liang said, ¡°It¡¯s confidence!¡±


    Everyone furrowed their brows?


    Qian Liang continued, ¡°It seems that this young man, even if he was confident in diagnosing ectopic appendicitis, he was also sure that he could finish the surgery through a 4cm incision. He didn¡¯t need to probe further; this shows his in-depth understanding of the abdominal anatomical structures and his ample self-confidence, allowing him to make this decision.¡±


    ¡°Look carefully, actually¡­ he could have made the incision even smaller. If it wasn¡¯t for patient safety considerations, he might have needed only 2cm!¡±


    ¡°Because each of his steps is basically following the small incision appendectomy technique!¡±


    At those words, everyone fell silent.


    What kind of genius was this?


    The surgery was completed in just a few minutes!


    At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Operating Rooms No. 1 and No. 2, which had started first, were still not finished.


    So fast!


    Operating Room No. 3 was amazing!


    Both small and quick!


    Instantly.


    The outcome was clear!


    The five of them nodded in agreement, not expecting that a simple competition could reveal such talent. They were filled with anticipation for the next surgery. During the wait, the experts began to chat.


    ¡°Director Qian, you¡¯re well-informed about small incision appendectomies. What do you think of that surgery?¡± Liu Siqi asked.


    Qian Liang thought for a moment before answering, ¡°The small incision appendectomy is quite a cutting-edge procedure. How should I put it? When this surgery was first proposed, the idea was to avoid the disadvantages of both laparoscopic surgery and traditional surgery while combining their advantages.¡±


    ¡°Later, it was found that indeed, this surgery is good, but there¡¯s one problem ¨C its limitations. It¡¯s quite selective in its indications. For those with short onset times and not very high leukocyte counts, the advantages of a small incision are clear. However, for some purulent appendicitis and for appendicitis with several recurrent episodes, which might present with severe adhesions, pursuing a small incision too much can limit exposure and operational space. This affects the surgery and can cause unnecessary damage.¡±


    ¡°So yeah, if we find appendicitis with abscesses, gangrene, or similar conditions, we should follow the principle of safety first and decisively make a larger incision.¡±


    ¡°Actually, the small incision approach has been constantly improving.¡±


    ¡°But I haven¡¯t paid much attention to it since in our hospitals, if we¡¯re doing a small incision, we usually use a laparoscope. It might be more suitable for primary care hospitals. If this surgical technique can be perfected and then spread to the grassroots level in the future, it would indeed be a beneficial technology for the people.¡±


    After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.


    In the midst of the chat, Chen Cang was somewhat excited!


    The kill of the Level 29 extraperitoneal ectopic appendicitis monster had yielded a rich haul!


    [Ding! Congratulations on your over-level kill of the Level 29 extraperitoneal ectopic suppurative appendicitis boss monster. You¡¯ve earned +1000 experience, +1000 RMB, and received one scalpel.]


    [Ding! Congratulations on advancing to Level 15. You have gained +1 skill point!]


    The 1000 experience points instantly raised Chen Gang¡¯s level to 15, granting him a skill point. Coupled with the four points he had previously earned, he now had five skill points.


    Boss monsters really are different!


    1000 experience points, 1000 RMB.


    Chen Cang no longer had to worry about unexplained funds, with the system helping me trade stocks, that 1000 RMB was too easy.


    What thrilled Chen Cang the most, however, was the third reward: an equipment drop, a scalpel.


    What¡¯s the difference between the scalpel of a surgeon and the hand of a bachelor?


    This is the mage¡¯s wand, the warrior¡¯s weapon!


    For the soldiers who charge into battle, how important is a fitting weapon!


    If an appendectomy is considered surgery for beginners, and Chen Cang is still a junior doctor who hasn¡¯t left the newbie village, then that extraperitoneal ectopic appendix was unequivocally a newbie village boss!


    A boss must have the prestige of a boss, and Chen Cang could accept these three rewards.


    [Scalpel: Green, Attributes: Sharpness +1; Precision +1;]


    Seeing the attributes, he immediately became happy.


    Sharpness +1, a great attribute. The +1 sharpness of the stitching needle had already made Chen Cang realize the importance of sharpness. Now even the scalpel had this attribute, which was even more convenient.


    As for Precision +1, Chen Cang was still somewhat puzzled.


    The second surgery was about to begin.


    Liu Jian stood by, watching Chen Cang deep in thought; he had been staring at the medical record for a full ten minutes.


    Could it be that this patient has some serious or special disease?


    With that thought, Liu Jian couldn¡¯t help but become somber.


    Let¡¯s be honest!


    The way Chen Cang diagnosed the extraperitoneal ectopic appendicitis really floored Liu Jian. As an anesthesiologist with many years under his belt, this was the first time he¡¯d seen anyone diagnose extraperitoneal ectopic appendicitis before surgery.


    The diagnosis of ectopic appendicitis is complicated, and it¡¯s easy to misdiagnose. Discovering it early on can lead to effective treatment preparation and reduce and avoid complications from ectopic appendicitis.


    Needless to say, Chen Gang¡¯s action just now was quite remarkable!


    So much so, that now when Liu Jian saw Chen Cang lost in thought, his instinct told him that this patient¡¯s appendix had to be something remarkable.


    Chen Cang closed the medical record and said to Liu Jian, ¡°Dr. Liu, please proceed with the anesthesia.¡±


    Liu Jian was startled, ¡°No issues?¡±


    Chen Cang was also taken aback, ¡°What issues?¡±


    Liu Jian: ¡°Is this just a case of ordinary appendicitis?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Yeah¡­¡±


    Liu Jian rolled his eyes and swallowed his words: Then why did you take so long to read it, you had me thinking it was some serious illness!

 Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Medicine Does Not Allow for Show-Off Skills!

    Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Medicine Does Not Allow for Show-Off Skills!


    Translator: 549690339


    The surgery began, all eyes were on it!


    in the office outside, several people who were eagerly chatting suddenly heard


    Liu Siqi exclaim, ¡°It¡¯s starting, it¡¯s starting!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone immediately focused intently on the proceedings, like kindergarten children sitting up with ears pricked as their teacher begins a lesson.


    In reality, operating rooms one and two had been active for two minutes already, but nobody had been watching seriously, chatting and laughing instead.


    It wasn¡¯t that they weren¡¯t serious, it was just that this group of old hands only needed a few glances at a common surgery, after all, there wasn¡¯t much to see in such minor procedures!


    They were well aware of the skill level of the surgeons, so naturally, there


    wouldn¡¯t be much variation.


    However, it was only Chen Cang in operating room three who left the five people present puzzled and full of curiosity!


    Liu Siqi, seeing everyone eyeing Chen Cang like a tiger watching its prey, couldn¡¯t help thinking that they only knew Chen Cang was good at appendectomies, little did they know his tendon suturing was even better!


    With this thought, Liu Siqi made up his mind that after the surgery was finished, he definitely needed to have a good talk with Chen Cang and invite him to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.


    After all, such excellent talent was truly rare!


    But then Liu Siqi suddenly realized¡­ that today was actually about evaluating Chen Cang, it seemed that Director Qin from the Second Provincial Hospital wasn¡¯t a mediocrity either, he had also noticed Chen Cang¡¯s capabilities.


    What a dilemma-


    Should he give him a zero?


    That is the question!


    He glanced at the scoring section that required the examiner¡¯s signature and suddenly felt that this real-name scoring system was very unreasonable!


    The surgery began, and this time Chen Cang had already made up his mind to try the ¡°modified small incision appendectomy¡±!


    The scalpel traced across the skin, delivering a familiar sensation to him.


    Make the incision!


    A precise 1.5cm cut appeared!


    Bluntly separating the muscle, opening the peritoneum¡­


    Suddenly, a song came to Chen Gang¡¯s mind.


    If I could peel your skin layer by layer, separating your muscle,


    I would find, I would be surprised,


    Your appendix is not beautiful at all!


    [Suppurative appendix monster, lvi8.]


    Back in the office, Qian Liang¡¯s face suddenly tensed, ¡°The kid is too reckless!¡±


    Everyone was startled!


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Qian Liang spoke earnestly, ¡°This time he¡¯s planning on a small incision appendectomy, but this patient has suppurative appendicitis. The limited view from the small incision is a significant problem and moreover¡­


    ¡°He¡¯s somewhat showing off his skill!¡±


    As these words were spoken, everyone¡¯s brows slightly furrowed.


    This was not a good sign.


    The last thing medical practitioners want is to show off.


    Medicine is precise, treating and saving lives is the utmost importance, safety first!


    At this moment, they felt Chen Cang was clearly at risk of ¡°showing off¡±.


    This is surgery!


    Not a performance!


    No one should aim to perform when it comes to surgery!


    At this moment, even though the various directors had previously admired Chen Cang, they couldn¡¯t help but frown, feeling increasingly displeased.


    For them, any disrespect and disregard for life was the greatest stain and shame for a doctor.


    Thinking this, Qian Liang picked up his pen to score.


    But he couldn¡¯t bring himself to give a low score, yet he couldn¡¯t possibly give a high one either, indeed, Chen Cang deserved a memorable lesson.


    He hesitated!


    It wasn¡¯t just him hesitating, everyone around was hesitating.


    Even Liu Siqi was somewhat hesitant!


    How many points?


    Everyone furrowed their brows, it really was difficult.


    Young people with such abilities often tend to be arrogant, but while other professions can boast and show off, medicine alone, especially emergency surgery where life hangs by a thread, always puts safety first.


    What is showing off?


    Showoff doesn¡¯t mean you can¡¯t showcase your skills; it refers to making irrational choices in pursuit of some kind of performance effect when you are not confident.


    This is called showing off.


    in the eyes of Qian Liang and the others, what Chen Cang did was showing off!


    That¡¯s because within the limitations of the laparoscopic appendectomy, suppurative appendicitis is a clear difficulty. The latest medical guidelines for laparoscopic appendectomy do not include suppurative appendicitis.


    This is precisely because a small incision cannot entirely solve this problem!


    Yet, Chen Cang chose this method to deal with such a surgery.


    Too reckless!


    Too inconsiderate of the bigger picture!


    At that moment, Qian Liang hesitated briefly and decided to give this outstanding young man a chance. So he said, ¡°If¡­ he expands the incision at this time, I think it would be forgivable, after all¡­ he¡¯s young!


    The others also nodded in agreement.


    But!


    Chen Cang did not do so.


    On the contrary, he began to move the operating table, nearly a 30-degree pivot, which allowed Chen Cang to perform various surgical maneuvers through a limited field of vision.


    He then changed the angle of the operating table by another 15 degrees.


    At the same time, he clamped the appendix with forceps in his left hand and held up the peritoneum with the retractor in his right, while his right ring finger lifted the skin, instantly enlarging the field of view for the surgery.


    Chen Gang¡¯s operation proceeded flawlessly!


    At this moment, the office fell utterly silent!


    Qian Liang stood up, his eyes wide open, and in an instant, raised his right hand, pointing at the operation speechless!


    It took a while before he could say a word, ¡°This¡­ this is not showing off! This kid¡­ this kid is simply a genius; he¡¯s actually improved the appendectomy for small incisions! I¡­ I can¡¯t believe it! How is this possible?¡±


    Not just Qian Liang!


    The others also exclaimed in astonishment: I can¡¯t believe it, filled with emotion!


    Although this phrase is only two words, it profoundly expresses the shock and sentiment of those involved, reflecting the mental transition from doubt to surprise to enlightenment, with suspense yet delightful surprise. Moreover, placing ¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡± at the end of the sentence, coupled with the emotional finish, can be considered the crowning touch, a stroke of genius that imbues the scene with profound implications, matching the earlier disdain for showing off with a twist!


    It sparked boundless imagination and a sense of sheer naturalness in everyone!


    All the people took a deep breath!


    Overwhelmed with emotions!


    Struggling to regain composure for a long time!


    Qian Liang¡¯s chest heaved up and down, as if he had an endless stream of words he wanted to blurt out quickly!


    After a while, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°This young man is tremendously talented! The ability to restore life with a wave of the hand, his craftsmanship is simply divine! Such a simple appendectomy, yet he achieved such an outstanding level, I¡¯m sold!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha! Fantastic, this idea is simply brilliant, this kid is a talent! I want to poach him and have him by my side!¡±


    As soon as these words came out!


    The eyes of those around him sparkled with eagerness!


    What a great idea!


    That Qian is indeed brainless for spilling such news; we all prefer to move in silently, without calling unnecessary attention!


    Watching the predatory looks from his colleagues, Liu Siqi¡¯s feelings grew more complicated. Staring at Chen Cang sewing up the abdomen on the screen, he cursed under his breath: Can¡¯t you keep a low profile? Must you make it so everyone knows how awesome you are?


    Alas¡­


    Nowhe had done it!


    Watching the department heads and directors eyeing Chen Cang with zeal, Liu Siqi felt a pang in his kidneys.


    This guy, it¡¯s going to be difficult for him¡­


    After two routine surgeries, the third specialized operation was actually not that significant.


    But everyone still watched patiently, since they were all very interested in Chen Cang and wanted to know what he was best at.


    The third patient had a flexor pollicis longus tendon cut by a knife-a simple case.


    And since the procedure was carried out in the operating room, everyone assumed that Chen Cang would quickly and decisively stitch it up without much fuss.


    Unfortunately!


    They discovered that Chen Cang observed carefully for quite a while, then began sewing with meticulous care.


    Chen Cang knew tendon repair had to be handled with caution and could not be taken lightly. As his tendon suturing reached a master level, he became even more aware of how the quality of tendon suturing directly affected recovery later on.


    Liu Siqi watched the most intently because he knew the level of Chen Gang¡¯s skill.


    But¡­


    If you don¡¯t witness it, you wouldn¡¯t know; once you see it, it¡¯s startling. This kid, he had improved again!

 Chapter 70 - Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Internal Troubles and External Threats

    Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Internal Troubles and External Threats


    Translator: 549^0339 |


    Exactly, the last time Liu Siqi saw Chen Cang suture tendons, Chen Cang was still at an advanced level, but this time, Chen Gang¡¯s tendon suturing had reached a master level.


    Adding a special effect is extraordinary for tendon suturing!


    The degree of alignment is extremely high!


    Chen Cang could only do his best to reduce the chances of adhesion to the minimum.


    The core elements of tendon suturing lie here, and one can never be too careful!


    Soon, the suturing was complete!


    Job well done!


    Brilliantly spectacular!


    Liu Siqi couldn¡¯t help but slap his thigh. It was still so elegant!


    However, thinking that such talent couldn¡¯t be recruited under his command made him feel a bit regretful.


    But there will be other days ahead, plenty of time. After all, the platform of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital is indeed better than that of the Provincial Second Hospital, so it¡¯s not like there¡¯s no chance.


    Scoring!


    Well¡­


    Liu Siqi gave Chen Cang full marks because he was very satisfied. Why not a perfect score?


    Being miserly?


    Leaving room for improvement?


    Heh, excellent people need to be praised!


    Not just Liu Siqi, but when the others looked at each other¡¯s score columns, they couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Because everyone gave full marks!


    If someone is good enough, why be stingy with high scores?


    As for the performances of the other two, the scores given by everyone were not low. After all, their performances were quite good. Number one was very skilled, steady with progress, a young force of the new generation, deserving of a 90 to encourage them.


    The person in operating room two was by-the-book, not excellent but not bad either. After all¡­ Li Shijian had only spent two years in thoracic surgery doing mostly ward rounds, writing medical records, managing orders, and serving as an assistant on the operating table, where it was hardly his turn to operate. Their Director Shi was utterly incompetent, with no special skills other than barking at experts. So, it was quite okay for Li Shijian to have this level of surgical skill. Given time, he could still become a strong player.


    As for number three¡­


    The scores were already irrelevant. Now, all the directors were filled with curiosity about this young man. Being so outstanding, they wondered what school he hailed from, who had mentored him, and where this martial arts secret of the modified small incision technique for appendectomy originated from. They were all puzzled.


    After the surgery, the three were brought to the office for expert reviews.


    Number one was Zhou Xiaodong, who entered and bowed, ¡°Hello, experts and teachers, I am number one, Zhou Xiaodong.¡±


    When Zhou Xiaodong came in, he saw his graduate school mentor Qian Liang.


    Qian Liang, naturally, also nodded slightly in acknowledgment to Zhou Xiaodong.


    The reviews began, and Qian Liang smiled, ¡°Zhou Xiaodong is my graduate student. To be honest, when I came here today and saw this lad, I was a bit surprised. I know you quite well, so let me give you some comments.¡± ¡°Xiaodong, working here is not the same as studying. I¡¯ve seen several of your surgeries today, two appendectomies and one gastrostomy, which are all your specialties. To be honest, I¡¯m quite satisfied. Your performance today has shown much more stability compared to two years ago!¡±


    ¡°Being a doctor is exactly that, constantly honing yourself, doing every small task well, completing every surgery, and suturing every wound. You¡¯ve done well, you¡¯ve made progress these two years.¡±


    But¡­ your shortcomings still exist and are quite obvious. That is, during surgery, you¡¯re still walking the path I taught you¡­ Imitation is not wrong, but imitation is not the way out. The purpose of surgery is to heal and save people. To become an expert, you must learn real surgery. Up to now, you have not really mastered surgery, and I hope the next time I see you operate, you will impress me. Your final score is 90. Overall, you did not disappoint me, keep it up!¡±


    After that, another expert reviewed Li Shijian, looking at him with less enthusiasm, ¡°Young man, your surgery is steady, your fundamentals are solid, but¡­ Don¡¯t you think your surgery lacks soul? Your every move is too rigid, lacking a flexibility. Actually, you have a clear flaw when you operate, which is your response when faced with sudden inflammatory secretions¡­ It¡¯s because your ability to adapt is lacking. You probably lack independent recognition and thinking towards surgery. You still need to improve.¡±


    Then it was Chen Gang¡¯s turn.


    At this point, nobody wanted to speak¡­


    Because they simply had nothing to say. Just like with numbers one and two, these seasoned experts could immediately spot any issue.


    But when it came to Chen Cang, they couldn¡¯t find any faults¡­


    Simply put, Chen Cang had performed the appendectomy better than they could, no exaggeration.


    For a moment, they started pushing the task of commenting among themselves.


    Seeing that nobody wanted to give comments, Liu Siqi simply said, ¡°I know this young man, I¡¯ll do the review then.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, Chen Cang, to be honest, your performance today has once again refreshed my impressions of you. Very good! Very talented!¡±


    ¡°The first surgery, where you accurately grasped the presence of an ectopic appendix outside of the peritoneum, really dazzled all of us¡­; the second surgery, your laparoscopic appendectomy with the modified technique even scared a few of us old-timers, and the tendon suturing in the end¡­ I¡¯m speechless, it was simply perfect!¡±


    ¡°As for the three surgeries you performed today, I genuinely have no remarks to give, because¡­ other than praising you, I don¡¯t know where to find faults!¡± At these words, everyone burst into laughter, obviously delighted.


    Chen Cang smiled graciously to show his thanks.


    At this moment, Liu Siqi took a deep breath and said earnestly, ¡°All I can say to you is, do not waste your talent, your future shouldn¡¯t be confined to this place!¡±


    After this statement, the several old-timers¡¯ eyes lit up in realization!


    Indeed, how could this small Second Provincial Hospital hold on to such a genius? And so¡­ they each looked at Chen Cang with their own cunning intentions.


    However, even though these words seemed ordinary, they scared Hao Xuliang half to death when he heard them!


    These people, appearing so upright and honest, were clearly coveting our Chen Cang!


    What do they mean by his future shouldn¡¯t be confined to this place?


    They were clearly tempting Chen Cang!


    Using the might of their large enterprises, they wanted to lure Chen Cang away! Thinking this, Hao Xuliang hurriedly said, ¡°Alright, now let me announce the results. First place: Chen Cang, too points; second place, Zhou Xiaodong, 90 points; third place, Li Shijian: 85 points.¡±


    ¡°We will publish the results today¡­ as quickly as possible! Chen Cang, you should go back and get ready.¡±


    In reality, according to the usual practice, the administrative staff¡¯s efficiency, and following the procedural regulations¡­ the earliest announcement would be made next week.


    But¡­ Hao Xuliang was scared! He feared that if he delayed, things might change.


    After all, with internal strife and external threats, the Second Provincial Hospital was in discord, and there were formidable rivals watching. He had better discuss this matter with Dean Qin as soon as possible!


    After the conclusion, Zhou Xiaodong suddenly came over and whispered to


    ChenCang, ¡°DoctorChen!¡±


    Chen Cang turned, surprised, and looked at Zhou Xiaodong, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Zhou Xiaodong smiled, ¡°Can we add each other on WeChat? My teacher told me to learn more from you, saying that you are a genius. I figured I should bask in the genius¡¯s aura.¡±


    Chen Cang paused, being from the same hospital, of course, he wouldn¡¯t refuse, and after adding him, Zhou Xiaodong suddenly whispered, ¡°Um¡­ Doctor Chen, I have no issues with you, you know, our chief¡­ cough cough, let¡¯s mind our own business, and it won¡¯t affect us, right?¡±


    Chen Cang got the gist instantly and smiled, ¡°Yeah, right, everybody minds their own business!¡±


    Zhou Xiaodong heard this and also smiled happily, patted Chen Cang on the shoulder, ¡°My chief is waiting outside, I better not talk too much with you¡­ otherwise¡­ it wouldn¡¯t be good!¡±


    Having said that, he rose and left.


    Chen Cang was also about to leave when Li Shijian came over, his face showing no sign of disappointment, and even a bit of indifference and relief, ¡°Doctor Chen, let¡¯s also add each other on WeChat, shall we? It¡¯s a case of ¡®No fighting, no acquaintance¡¯.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the carefree Li Shijian and smiled, ¡°Sure.¡±


    Li Shijian sighed and suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯m planning to resign, to leave this place.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand, ¡°Why?¡±


    Li Shijian laughed, ¡°I have no future in this department, I¡¯m just someone who does the work. To me, the thoracic surgery department, if it¡¯s not disbanded, should get a new chief, anything else is meaningless!¡±


    ¡°Besides, I¡¯m just a contract worker; if I go, I go. Wherever I go, it¡¯s better than working for Xianbei here, getting frustrated day by day by listening to their nonsense.¡±


    Having said that, Li Shijian laughed and walked away.


    Chen Cang was taken aback.


    Working for Xianbei?


    What¡¯s that about?


    ps: I wrote this last night on the train, I didn¡¯t check, sorry for any typos, I¡¯ll correct them later. Seriousface/JPG+AVI


    You guys say my chapters are ¡°short¡±¡­ I disagree!


    You might not have noticed¡­ but each chapter is 12 pages long, nearly 2500 words. Others have only 2000 words¡­ I¡¯m wronged¡­ If you still think it¡¯s short, I have a good solution, which is to increase the font size, and then you¡¯ll find that it has indeed become longer¡­

 Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Task of Apprenticing

    Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Task of Apprenticing


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Ding! Daily task completed, reward obtained: Advanced Gallbladder Removal


    Surgery.]


    Upon hearing the notification, Chen Cang immediately felt a surge of joy! Receiving gallbladder removal surgery as a reward, how could he not be happy?


    However, just as Chen Cang was about to claim his reward, the system¡¯s prompt sounded again.


    He realized¡­


    He had gotten excited a bit too early¡­


    [Gallbladder Removal Surgery. Advanced, Special Effect: Obtain Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Advanced).]


    Hahaha, he should be twenty times happier!


    After all, it¡¯s a buy one, get one free deal¡ªa double blessing.


    And there are such good things!


    Gallbladder removal surgery is somewhat different from appendix removal


    surgery.


    These years, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the ¡°gold standard¡± for treating gallbladder stones, and open surgery is only used as a remedy when accurate surgery cannot be performed laparoscopically.


    Who would have thought that a gallbladder removal surgery would come with


    the skill of laparoscopic cholecystectomy by default?


    How could this not make Chen Cang happy and excited?


    But it also served as a warning to Chen Cang, not to get too happy too soon in


    the future.


    After all, one must remain low-key.


    The good things only just arrived!


    Yo, that rhymed again.


    However, Chen Cang was truly happy because if you only know the conventional open gallbladder removal surgery now, you really can¡¯t make it in a big hospital, where laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the mainstream method and the gold standard.


    You don¡¯t know how to do it?


    Then sorry, step aside, let me be the chief surgeon, and you can be the assistant!


    Just as Chen Cang was really about to push the door and leave, he suddenly heard someone calling him.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, wait a moment.¡±


    Chen Cang turned around and found it was Liu Siqi.


    ¡°Dean Liu? Hello.¡±


    Liu Siqi smiled and nodded, ¡°Come here, Xiao Chen, I have a minor issue to ask


    you about, come and sit.¡±


    After Chen Cang went over, he sat down across from a few people.


    Qian Liang said, ¡°Doctor Chen, we have a few questions about the surgery just now and would like to discuss with you, do you have time?¡±


    Chen Cang, having mingled in surgery, was of course familiar with Qian Liang¡¯s reputation. Hearing Qian Liang¡¯s words, he humbly replied, ¡°Director Qian, you flatter me, please ask anything you like.¡±


    Qian Liang nodded, his smile faded, and his face instantly took on a serious academic expression, ¡°Primarily three questions, the first one is how did you discover that the first patient had an ectopic appendix outside the peritoneum?¡±


    Without hesitation, Chen Cang directly said, ¡°The medical record is the doctor¡¯s most accurate record of a patient¡¯s condition, and the consultation provides firsthand information. I analyzed the medical record and noticed some peculiarities. Then, upon palpating the patient¡¯s abdomen, I confirmed my suspicion. This is also why I made an incision of about 4cm in the abdomen. As medical workers, we must be fully prepared before starting an operation to prevent any unforeseeable issues.¡±


    Qian Liang clapped his hands in approval, ¡°Very good,¡± but his face turned stern, and he pressed on with an imposing question, ¡°Excellent! Since you know that safety is the most important thing for medical workers, then¡­ the second question, in the second surgery, a purulent appendicitis isn¡¯t suitable for a small-incision appendectomy. Why did you choose to use it? Didn¡¯t you know that would increase the patient¡¯s risk?¡±


    Chen Cang saw Qian Liang with a stern face asking seriously, but he wasn¡¯t too scared; instead, he replied with a smile, ¡°I have modified the small-incision appendectomy technique. I was absolutely confident with purulent appendicitis, so I chose the small-incision approach.¡±


    With that, the office suddenly quieted down!


    He improved the small-incision appendectomy technique?


    Chen Cang was speaking of his own improvements!


    How old was he?


    To be able to improve a surgical technique!


    At the thought, everyone¡¯s brows knitted together, and their breathing grew rapid.


    Is this what a genius looks like?


    So young and already improving surgical techniques!


    The future¡­ holds great promise!


    With this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at Chen Cang with new respect!


    After all, everyone initially thought Chen Cang was just learning someone else¡¯s surgery, but now they realized¡­ it was an original creation.


    The difference is huge!


    However, Qian Liang wasn¡¯t the least bit surprised; instead, he grew even more serious. He stood up, staring at Chen Cang, and asked word by word, ¡°Improvement? Are you sure it¡¯s an improvement? Not a mistake? Do you have data to prove its feasibility? Do you have analysis to prove your accuracy?¡± ¡°In medical work, any so-called improvement without theoretical significance must rely on data obtained from practice for analysis. Have you conducted clinical trials? Have you done data analysis? Have you discussed this with your mentor?¡±


    A barrage of questions overwhelmed Chen Cang with Qian Liang¡¯s imposing manner!


    What he was trying to do was to instill in Chen Cang the rigor that a medical worker should possess.


    Medicine is a science!


    And it is even more rigorous than the ordinary sciences!


    Although Qian Liang didn¡¯t know Chen Cang well, he could sense a hint of raw, untamed skill in Chen Cang¡¯s techniques.


    This is professionalism!


    If Chen Cang wanted to go further in this field, he would have to learn many things.


    It must be said that as the President of the Dongyang Provincial Surgical Association and the Chairman of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Qian Liang represented the authority in Dongyang Province¡¯s surgery.


    Qian Liang acted this way because he appreciated Chen Cang!


    He wouldn¡¯t bother saying an extra word to just anyone; after seeing Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, his heart set on nurturing talent, of course, he would educate him thoroughly.


    He may be an uncut jade, but he still needs sculpting!


    Chen Cang was self-taught and lacked the rigor of someone who came from a formal medical background, which Qian Liang pointed out in one go.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, reflecting on Qian Liang¡¯s words in his mind, understanding that Qian Liang wasn¡¯t trying to suppress him but was deliberately giving him pointers. Qian Liang¡¯s message was, your improved surgical technique, although undoubtedly effective, needs to be proven with clinical data. In plain terms, you need to use surgical data to publish a high- quality paper, preferably one that can make it into the inner circle!


    Surgery is, in fact, a circle!


    You need the recognition of others to enter it.


    So, Qian Liang¡¯s words were clear-he was urging Chen Cang to refine his new technique and write an excellent paper!


    He looked up and bowed sincerely, ¡°Thankyou, Teacher Qian, for your guidance. I understand.¡±


    As soon as he spoke, the people around him laughed.


    They were well aware of Qian Liang¡¯s intentions.


    It wasn¡¯t to make things difficult for a youngster; his actions were meant to provide insights and even indicated an inclination to foster talent.


    As expected.


    At that moment, Qian Liang had lost his former imposing attitude and instead wore a pleasant and smiling face, nodding, ¡°Third question, and the last one: Which school did you graduate from, and who was your mentor?¡±


    Taken aback, Chen Cang blushed slightly-for, after all, his undergraduate background was not something to boast about, and he smiled awkwardly, ¡°I graduated from Dongyang Medical University, under¡­ Chen Bingsheng!¡± Qian Liang and others exchanged glances. Dongyang Medical University was Dongyang Province Medical University, where Qian Liang was vice president. But who was Chen Bingsheng? Why didn¡¯t they recognize the name?


    After discussing among themselves for a while, they still couldn¡¯t identify who Chen Bingsheng was¡ªwhat a mysterious figure to have taught such an outstanding student.


    Hao Xuliang happened to walk in and said, ¡°Chen Bingsheng is a doctor in our emergency department.¡±


    With this revelation, everyone slapped their foreheads.


    Liu Siqi suddenly remembered something: ¡°You didn¡¯t pursue graduate studies, did you?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, speaking the truth, ¡°Um, after graduating with my ? bachelor¡¯s degree from Dongyang Medical University, I started working.


    Upon hearing this, they fell silent.


    A bachelor¡¯s-degree holder, who might not even have experienced surgery during his college days, was able to improve surgical techniques-how could he not be more outstanding than many experts?


    A talent!


    No!


    He should be called a genius!


    After listening, Qian Liang¡¯s eyes sparkled as he considered, and after half a minute suddenly said, ¡°After you go back, if you have time, write up the paper and let me take a look.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, then saw a question mark appear above Qian Liang s head!


    [Ding! Mentorship quest triggered. Qian Liang¡¯s challenge: Write and publish an excellent surgical paper within a set timeframe, gain Qian Liang¡¯s approval, and activate the mentorship quest.]


    Upon hearing the voice, Chen Cang¡¯s expression grew excited!


    As a medical practitioner, one should study the classics, seek a distinguished mentor, and gain extensive clinical experience!


    Now, the appearance of Qian Liang laid out a new magnificent path before Chen Cang!

 Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Chapter 72: If I become old and ugly, will you still want me?

    Chapter 72: Chapter 72: If I become old and ugly, will you still want me?


    Translator: 549690339 |


    The medical community is known as a ¡°world,¡± and every world has its own rules and sayings.


    Both Chinese and Western medicine value lineage and theory.


    Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has featured a multitude of schools, from the Treatise on Febrile Diseases to the Earth-supplementing school of the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the Yin-nourishing school¡­ to the subsequent school of Warm diseases, all brimming with the development of diverse theories.


    The same goes for Western medicine; since the Republic of China era, modern medicine has flourished with the influx of Western medical science, putting on a ¡°Western medicine¡± coat.


    Surgery, as a primary treatment method in medicine, is also filled with various thoughts and doctrines.


    Therefore, having a mentor is like having someone to lead the way.


    With a mentor, aside from anything else, arranging work becomes much more convenient, academic conferences can be attended endlessly, and one might even mix in a position as an association director or a participant in a National Natural Science project, which is immensely beneficial for future development. So at this moment, the question marks above Qian Liang¡¯s head seemed particularly enchanting!


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t hesitate and chose to accept the task straight away!


    By then, Qian Liang cracked a small smile, ¡°I¡¯ll give you three months, polish up a good paper, and I¡¯ll send you a gift next year!¡±


    Everyone smiled slightly, what a gift this was!


    This was a gift of a bright future!


    Although all four were specialists, Qian Liang¡¯s academic status was higher; in Dongyang Province¡¯s field of hepatobiliary surgery, he was a bona fide authority and also the deputy editor-in-chief of the ¡°Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery.¡±


    His gift, naturally, wouldn¡¯t be trifling!


    Everyone understood, and so did Chen Cang, his face showing delight, ¡°Thank you, teacher!¡±


    [Ding! Favorability from Qian Liang +30!]


    [Ding! Favorability from Liu Siqi +10!]


    [Ding! Favorability from Hao Xuliang +10!]


    Another wave of favorability points in hand, Chen Cang was still puzzled; what were these points really good for?


    After Hao Xuliang left the office, he hurried to the dean¡¯s office to find Qin Xiaoyuan.


    ¡°Dean Qin, I have something to tell you!¡±


    Seeing Hao Xuliang rush in, Qin Xiaoyuan put down his pen, took off his reading glasses, and asked with a smile, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You seem anxious. Have the results come out? How is it?¡±


    Hao Xuliang caught his breath, resolved to exercise by running after returning, and said, ¡°Dean Qin, the results are out. Chen Cang came first, a full score of too! Zhou Xiaodong from general surgery got 90, and Li Shijian from thoracic surgery got 85.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan immediately became interested,


    ¡°Really? This young Chen is that impressive?¡±


    Impressive?


    Is that all he is?!


    Hao Xuliang thought to himself: Current Chen Cang is hot property; you didn¡¯t see the faces of those department heads and deans. They would have loved to give Chen Cang a score of zero and then whisk him away silently!


    Hao Xuliang nodded, ¡°Dean Qin, this young Chen isn¡¯t just impressive; he¡¯s talented! Our hospital must retain him. You didn¡¯t see just now, every head of department and dean was desperate for talent, their expressions were fierce like hungry wolves. And moreover, this young Chen truly has exceptional skills!¡­¡±


    After Hao Xuliang repeated the details of the competition, Qin Xiaoyuan was also slightly taken aback,


    ¡°Did Qian Liang really say that?¡±


    Hao Xuliang: ¡°He really did, so, Dean, you better issue a notice immediately. If we delay, things might change. If Secretary Tan is up to something, we could lose this talented individual. Chen Cang is still young and highly moldable!¡± Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, ¡°Okay, you handle it. Make sure the announcement is issued today!¡±


    Hao Xuliang nodded and departed.


    Qin Xiaoyuan stared out the window, planning in his heart.


    After quite some time¡­


    He picked up the phone and dialed Li Baoshan¡¯s number.


    ¡°Director Li, do you have time to come to the office? I have something to discuss with you.¡±


    Competition is competition, but after the match, life goes on and work must be done. At the very least, I have to catch up on the patient records that have piled up; no one else will do it for me.


    Although it¡¯s common for doctors to procrastinate with their records, Chen Cang doesn¡¯t have the habit of delaying. He goes to bed early, wakes up early, and completes his tasks on time. He doesn¡¯t give people the chance to criticize him¡ªa life lesson diligently and honestly taught by his father, Chen Dahai.


    It¡¯s already mid-August, and the time has come to submit last month¡¯s patient records. The health insurance department is relentlessly calling one after another for reminders.


    Within the emergency department¡¯s doctors¡¯ office, everyone is rushing to get things done.


    Shi Na sighed, ¡°Goodness, I had 91 patients discharged last month, and I still have 40 records to sort out. And I have to be on duty tonight¡­ Sigh¡­ After work, I¡¯ll need to stock up on some coffee mixed with Red Bull.¡±


    Zhang Shu, who was nearby, overheard and teased, ¡°Na Na, even coffee and Red Bull won¡¯t help you. I think you¡¯d need at least some adrenal extract to keep going!¡±


    Everyone chuckled.


    Shi Na was indisputably the doctor with the most patients in emergency medicine!


    Wang Qian was also organizing patient records. Hearing Shi Na¡¯s words, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Teacher Shi, as a woman, you shouldn¡¯t overwork yourself like this. You¡¯re going to age prematurely. You need to pay attention to self-care and rest.¡±


    Once he said that, Qin Yue gave him a stern look and said, ¡°You¡¯re the one who talks too much. If you finish up, come and help.¡±


    After saying that, Qin Yue cheerfully said to Shi Na, ¡°Teacher, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m here! Tomorrow is my day off, Saturday and Sunday. I¡¯ll stay late with you tonight and help you out!¡±


    Actually, what Wang Qian said was true, very reasonable. Besides, emergency patients are often seriously ill, so having a high caseload is bound to be exhausting, right?


    But ¡°reason¡± can be subjective¡ªeveryone thinks they have valid points. Shi Na naturally had her own reasons.


    Who doesn¡¯t know that fewer patients means less stress, and it would be nice to be a carefree doctor in the endocrinology or VIP ward, right?


    But every household has its own difficulties.


    Others might not know, but as Shi Na¡¯s junior doctor as well as half a student, Qin Yue naturally knew more. Shi Na was supporting seven people all by herself; how could she afford to rest?


    Not even reaching five feet three inches and weighing just around too pounds, the burden Dr. Shi Na carried was no light affair.


    Shi Na and her husband, who were postgraduate classmates, began working together after graduation, and her husband also had a respectable job at the East University Hospital, in the orthopedic department. They used to be the envy of others.


    But just the year after Shi Na had given birth, her husband decided to study for a PhD due to dissatisfaction with his job.


    Pursuing a PhD was considered a good move, and everyone supported it¡ªShi Na included.


    But¡­


    After three years of PhD studies and with graduation this year, he decided to go abroad for a postdoctoral fellowship, which would take another two years.


    It¡¯s easy to talk lightly about other people¡¯s affairs, so their classmates all said Shi Na¡¯s husband was outstanding and that Shi Na would live a good life in the future!


    But only Shi Na knew the hardships she faced.


    Suddenly, the weight of the entire household rested on Shi Na¡¯s shoulders¡ª mortgage, children, parents, husband¡¯s tuition fees¡­


    How much would that cost in a year?


    It actually wasn¡¯t a big deal. At worst, she wouldn¡¯t buy new clothes for three years, or she would work overtime until eleven or midnight. If exhausted, just collapse and sleep well. At worst, draw strength from her child¡¯s smile when tired.


    What¡¯s the worst that could happen?


    No matter how tired you are today, when you get home, you still have to take care of the children, check their homework at night, get up early to cook, and then squeeze onto a bus.


    Work continues the next day.


    When Shi Na thought about Wang Qian¡¯s words, her heart sank. As a woman, how could she not understand these things?


    Her hair was falling out in clumps. If one day she truly became old, ugly, and haggard¡­ would her successful husband still want her then?


    But the future is far off, and life goes on into tomorrow. Without money, how can one live?


    That¡¯s why Shi Na dared not rest!


    Qin Yue knew all this, which is why she stopped Wang Qian from speaking carelessly.


    She was afraid that his words would upset the teacher.


    An Yanjun then changed the subject, ¡°Xiao Wang, you should learn from Chen Cang. Look at Old Chen; he¡¯s so relaxed, never worried about his patient records. He submits the records on time at the end of the month to the medical records office. Unlike us, we always drag it out. With Xiao Chen around, Old Chen has much less to worry about!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng chuckled and nodded in agreement.


    Indeed, having Chen Cang around, he worried much less.


    But now, he was more anxious than anyone.


    Feeling uneasy, he truly hoped Chen Cang would pass the competition and become a permanent employee.

 Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Double Happiness Comes Knocking

    Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Double Happiness Comes Knocking


    Translator: 549690339


    Wang Qian felt a tad awkward, so he tried to change the subject. ¡°1 wonder how Cang Er did in the competition today?¡±


    With that, the interest of the surrounding people was piqued.


    After all, Chen Cang¡¯s bid for a permanent position was no small matter in the emergency department, and everyone was somewhat concerned.


    Chen Bingsheng dared not make a sound, feeling it was too early to say anything. Praise him now¡­ and risk it turning into a jinx, put him down and have it come true; thinking of this, Chen Bingsheng¡¯s head began to ache.


    An Yanjun chuckled, ¡°Little Chen¡¯s basics are more solid than yours, no need for you to fret.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Exactly, Chen Cang is so handsome, he¡¯s sure to pass.¡±


    Wang Qian was stunned and somewhat convinced¡­


    After all, what does being handsome have to do with surgery?


    Does being handsome mean you can operate without an anesthetist?


    Does being handsome make the appendix jump out on its own?


    Besides, I think I¡¯m quite handsome myself, at least more masculine than Chen Cang.


    Moreover, upon closer thought, Wang Qian was surprised to discover a major issue: it seemed like he was always being rebutted?


    When did I ever neglect to notice this?


    Thinking this, Wang Qian decided he should learn from his teacher, An Yanjun, to be a quiet and lovable fool.


    At this moment, those around had varying thoughts.


    Although whether or not Chen Cang got the position had nothing to do with them, some couldn¡¯t help but wish for Chen Cang not to win the competition¡­


    Like Wang Yong, for instance. He didn¡¯t quite want Chen Cang to win. He had always felt superior to Chen Cang and had even been favored by the department head since joining the hospital, enjoying smooth sailing ever since. Besides, Wang Yong often participated in various activities, so he felt he was much better than Chen Cang.


    If Chen Cang were to secure a position, he¡¯d feel a disheartening gap, which would be uncomfortable. So even though Wang Yong didn¡¯t say it out loud, he truly didn¡¯t want Chen Cang to outdo him.


    At that moment, Shi Na said, ¡°1 don¡¯t know much about Li Shijian, but I do know a bit about Zhou Xiaodong. He has performed a few consultative operations, very shrewd, with solid surgical skills, trained under Professor Qian Liang, now a rising power in the general surgery department, heavily favored by Zhang Youfu.¡±


    ¡°So¡­ setting other factors aside, 1 still feel that little Chen¡¯s competitiveness is quite formidable. After all, he¡¯s a three-year graduate student plus two years of clinical experience, so there are risks.¡±


    Shi Na was being frank, which caused everyone to sigh.


    Wang Qian, although careless with his words, truly hoped from the bottom of his heart that Chen Cang would make it. However, Zhou Xiaodong and Wang Qian were from the same cohort and university alumni, naturally knowing some about him. ¡°During university, Zhou Xiaodong was highly regarded by Director Qian Liang. He indeed has talent.¡±


    Suddenly, the atmosphere in the office grew sober.


    Everyone felt a pang of regret.


    After all, such an opportunity was hard to come by.


    Wang Yong, however, felt a mix of emotions; wanting Chen Cang to get the position, yet also not wanting him to, his feelings were more tangled than during his own exams.


    As Chen Cang walked into the office, Chen Bingsheng promptly got up and blurted out, ¡°How did the competition go?¡±


    Before Chen Cang could speak, everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on him!


    Chen Bingsheng was anxious and about to speak, when the head nurse hurriedly rushed in!


    ¡°Great news, everyone, great news! 1 have good news to tell you all!¡±


    ii


    Eh? Little Chen, you¡¯re here, perfect timing. I have good news. Chen Cang¡¯s confirmation passed!¡±


    Tian Xianglan was all smiles as she looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Little Chen, congratulations, your position issue is resolved. The finance department just asked me to confirm your basic information; nothing has changed, right?¡±


    The moment Tian Xianglan¡¯s words rang out, the place fell silent!


    Chen Cang¡¯s confirmation was secured!


    Then, the people around suddenly buzzed with excitement!


    Wang Qian clamored, ¡°Cang Er, you¡¯ve got to treat us! This is a big life event!¡±


    Qin Yue also stood up and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Chen the miser! You¡¯ve got to treat us, it¡¯s a must.¡±


    An Yanjun smiled and gave a thumbs-up to Chen Cang.


    However, some couldn¡¯t help but envy Chen Cang¡¯s good fortune!


    Like those emergency department doctors who were preparing to convert from temporary to contract workers.


    They had started on the same starting line as Chen Cang, but in the blink of an eye, found that Chen Cang, who had once been their peer, had now transformed into an employee with a permanent position.


    What did a permanent position mean to them?


    A root!


    With a root, they wouldn¡¯t drift aimlessly, they wouldn¡¯t wander, they could settle down and build a life.


    The goal they had strived for so long had been achieved by someone else. And them?


    For a moment, while smiles were on faces, people began to think about their own futures.


    Wang Yong experienced a myriad of feelings.


    This feeling, while happy for Chen Cang¡­ I also felt quite despondent myself.


    I clearly knew this was the result of Chen Cang¡¯s hard work, and it had nothing to do with me, but Wang Yong just couldn¡¯t feel happy, even though he wore a smile on his face, his heart harbored several envies.


    But upon reflection, opportunities come to those who are prepared.


    If Chen Cang hadn¡¯t stepped forward during the chemical plant explosion, to save lives and perform meritoriously, perhaps this opportunity wouldn¡¯t have come.


    Moreover, in this surgical competition, Chen Cang was up against two graduate students, and he won.


    This proves that he really has the strength!


    At this time, Li Baosheng also returned to the office, looking at everyone being lively, he rarely smiled, ¡°It seems everyone knows already, that¡¯s great, congratulations Chen Cang on successfully becoming a regular staff member!¡±


    ¡°The other doctors preparing for the contract examination should really give it their all now, after all, you¡¯ve suddenly got one less competitor, the opportunity is even greater now, everyone should learn from Chen Cang!


    H


    Upon hearing this, Wang Yong¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up!


    That¡¯s right!


    Since Chen Cang has become a regular staffer, he won¡¯t be competing with us, isn¡¯t that like having one less competitor?


    At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system prompt:


    [Ding! Li Baoshan¡¯s expectation mission complete, considering you¡¯ve successfully transitioned to a regular staff position, judged as task completion above and beyond, reward upgraded: you¡¯ve gained one of Li Baoshan¡¯s skills and it has been automatically advanced by one level.]


    [Ding! Draw successful, you¡¯ve acquired Li Baoshan¡¯s skill: Poison Recognition (Passive Skill) Advanced.]


    [Ding! Promoted to Master level!]


    [Poison Recognition (Passive Skill): Master level, special effects: 1. Precise identification; 2. Treatment planning.]


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, then his eyes gleamed.


    Poison Recognition!


    This is some good stuff!


    In the emergency department, the most common type of cases are trauma, heart diseases, and then poison cases!


    Poisoning is not just about food poisoning, but also includes drug poisoning, chemical poisoning, even oxygen can cause poisoning, so¡­ it¡¯s a vast field of knowledge!


    Having completed the mission above expectations, and obtaining such an explosive skill, Chen Cang was sincerely excited.


    No!


    I should say pumped!


    Having such a skill would at least ensure that I won¡¯t panic during the night shift¡­


    That¡¯s right.


    Chen Cang had been on night shift for more than two years, and what he feared most wasn¡¯t being unable to sleep at night or dealing with difficult patients; it was encountering patients and not knowing what to do!


    For a doctor, this is a fearsome situation.


    After all, doctors are essentially the last line of defense in human life; if our line of defense isn¡¯t strong enough, how can we talk about treating diseases and saving lives!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang got a wave of excitement.


    Emergency poison cases are inherently critical, and if one doesn¡¯t have such capability, it¡¯s truly dangerous.


    Moreover, as a surgeon, you shouldn¡¯t only know how to perform surgery. Surgery is one of the treatment plans, but you must also have excellent diagnostic abilities.


    Happy!


    When double happiness comes, naturally it calls for a celebration!


    Recently, Chen Cang¡¯s financial situation had eased a bit. Of course, the main source was still from fleecing the rich; after getting the tens of thousands from Zheng Guotan, Zheng¡¯s president, Chen Cang¡¯s wallet had gradually fattened.


    Also, with some rewards after completing the tasks these past few days, continuously monetizing through the stock market.


    So in the evening, Chen Cang took those who were not on duty out for a small get-together at a nearby restaurant.


    Except for Shi Na who was on duty and Qin Yue who accompanied her, virtually all the male doctors from the department were there.


    It was generally an occasion when no wine meant no joy.


    Li Baoshan didn¡¯t drink, in his words, as the person in charge of the emergency department, he couldn¡¯t drink, if he¡¯s on duty that day, then he won¡¯t drink.


    However¡­ that was indeed the case; Chen Cang had never seen the director drink.


    No matter the hospital activity, any dinner party, any kind of ceremony, Li Baoshan never drank.


    However, just because Li Baoshan didn¡¯t drink didn¡¯t mean he prevented everyone else from drinking, An Yanjun also had a few drinks, and Chen Bingsheng drank even more merrily, extremely joyous.


    After quite the lively time, everyone dispersed around twelve o¡¯clock.


    When Chen Cang went to pay the bill, the waiter said, ¡°Someone has already paid.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Who was it?¡±


    The waiter pondered for a moment, ¡°The one that looks like Zhang Yi¡­ that¡­ the bald man.¡±


    It was the director!

 Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Such a pretty girl, talking nonsense!

    Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Such a pretty girl, talking nonsense!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Bingsheng always appeared enthusiastic and generous, the epitome of cheerfulness and openness, seemingly without a care in the world. His career was smooth sailing, his family harmonious, with a virtuous wife, filial children, and healthy parents. He looked every inch the winner in life.


    Yet, who would have thought that after a few drinks he¡¯d turn into a chatterbox, resembling a menopausal old lady with a constant string of complaints!


    Chen didn¡¯t have much else to do; he sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, and before anyone realized it, he was already snoring. Chen Cang picked up the keys, ready to open the door.


    Unexpectedly, the phone rang.


    He pulled out his cellphone and saw that the incoming call was from a number ending in 9999.


    Such a phone number was naturally the hallmark of the wealthy, but to call him in the middle of the night¡ªcould it be that a rich woman was after his good looks, or had his reputation for attractiveness spread far and wide?


    After hesitating for a moment, Chen Cang coughed, cleared his throat, and tried to make his voice as magnetic as possible, ¡°Hello, may I help you?¡±


    The caller indeed had a very mature and ladylike voice, but her tone betrayed a hint of urgency, ¡°Is this Little Chen? I¡¯m Chen Bingsheng¡¯s wife. Is Chen with you? Did he drink too much? Where are you guys now? I¡¯ll come and pick him up.¡±


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, ¡°Sister-in-law? Well, yes, Teacher Chen is with me here.¡±


    ¡°Um¡­ Sister-in-law, you don¡¯t need to come pick him up. I can just call a taxi and take him home.¡±


    The person on the other end hesitated for a moment, then said, ¡°The number I dialed is linked to your WeChat, right? I¡¯ll add you and send you the location. Thanks for your help.¡±


    Chen Cang had no choice but to carry Chen downstairs and call a Didi.


    When Chen opened his eyes, he found himself in a car and suddenly his expression changed completely, the look in his eyes almost made Chen Cang cry.


    Those eyes were filled with complexity, resentment, frustration, regret, heartache, remorse, abandonment, and a desire to say more but refraining¡­


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Boss, your wife asked me to take you home. It¡¯s¡­ beyond my control.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng wiped his face, looking pitiful, and sighed deeply, infusing his tone with indescribable sorrow, ¡°Little Chen, let me tell you, don¡¯t marry someone too dominant. You¡¯ll suffer for it one day! But looking at you, I doubt you¡¯ll avoid it, you¡¯ve got the face of a born submissive!¡±


    When they reached the designated location, Chen Cang saw a woman draped in a nightgown standing frailly at the entrance of the residential complex, next to the security room.


    This was a high-end residential complex developed by Vanke in Anyang City; there were no small units in the entire complex. A single apartment would cost several million yuan. Chen Cang hadn¡¯t realized Chen was so wealthy.


    When the woman saw the car come to a stop, she approached, glanced at Chen Cang: ¡°Thanks for your effort, Little Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang quickly smiled, ¡°Not at all, sister-in-law.¡±


    After Chen got out of the car, he seemed to stagger less and even walked with more alertness¡­


    Could it have been that he was pretending to be drunk in front of me?


    A chilling thought!


    By the time everything was taken care of, it was already past one in the morning. The streets were empty, with only a few drunken souls staggering home.


    Upon reaching his own doorstep, he was berated by his wife, then carefully helped into the building.


    Witnessing this, Chen Cang actually felt envious, thinking that this was happiness.


    After getting home and taking a shower, Chen Cang laid in bed and, surprisingly, wasn¡¯t that tired anymore.


    There had been too much going on that day, and Chen Cang felt a bit overwhelmed.


    He had finally secured his position, fulfilling one of his desires.


    Indeed, to many people, having a permanent position might not mean much, but to his parents, it signified settling down.


    His parents, uneducated and never having been to school, deeply admired ¡°formal employment.¡±


    Now that he had settled down, he felt he had resolved a major concern for his parents.


    Tomorrow, when he had time, he would share the good news with them.


    Although having a permanent position might not be significant to many, for Chen Cang, it represented a qualitative change. Take Qin Yue for instance, who got a permanent position at a hospital right after graduation. With no bonus in the first year, her salary was just over three thousand a month, but with social security, housing fund contributions, spiritual civilization award, attendance bonus, and welfare, she took home sixty to seventy thousand for the year.


    The second year, with the addition of a bonus, her annual salary promptly reached six figures.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang¡¯s temporary job consistently paid 2200, with no additional benefits.


    Now, I have everything I need.


    For a man, work and the thickness of his wallet are the foundation of his confidence and courage.


    The second thing was the task of finding a mentor!


    Qian Liang¡¯s favor undoubtedly meant that Chen Cang could avoid many detours in his career path.


    In Dongyang Province, Qian Liang was a big shot in the field of hepatobiliary surgery, often presiding over and participating in various surgical conferences. If Chen Cang wanted to connect with higher echelons, he naturally needed a platform, and Qian Liang was the most suitable one.


    If I wanted to improve, I also needed some guidance from renowned teachers.


    Then came academic achievements!


    The hospital was nothing like it used to be.


    Being good at surgery was not as important as writing good papers, and writing good papers was not as important as having many research projects.


    If you wanted a promotion, papers and research projects had become hard criteria.


    Once your academic level was high, you would be somewhat well-known both within the circle and nationally, and the world you encountered would naturally be different.


    Qian Liang had asked me to polish a paper for three months; perhaps I could use the surgeries at Lanyan County People¡¯s Hospital as clinical data for a trial analysis of a new technique for minimally invasive appendectomy.


    However¡­ statistical analysis was not my strong suit, so it looked like I needed to find someone to help.


    Recent medical research shows that sleeping late at night makes getting up the next day as painful as slaughtering a pig.


    Experience proved that scientific research was correct!


    Unfortunately, the power of the Renminbi is always the driving force behind human progress, and for me, Chen Cang, that force was nuclear!


    Furthermore, Director Zhang said he wanted me to suture double eyelids today, and thinking about it, I was somewhat excited. I felt that I could perhaps learn the ¡°double eyelid incision technique¡± today.


    With my ¡°Beautiful Eyes¡± technique, I would naturally add another skill to my repertoire.


    After arriving at the plastic surgery studio, it wasn¡¯t yet eight o¡¯clock, but the staff were already in place.


    At the reception, three Misses transformed by Director Zhang were already wearing their uniforms, displaying ¡°products¡± on the table up front. From a distance, they were dazzling, the professional suits¡¯ clever design combined with Director Zhang¡¯s skillful craftsmanship made the men dazed and the women envious.


    As soon as Chen Cang walked in, they all rose and bowed.


    ¡°Hello, Dr. Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang quickly nodded in return, ¡°Hello, everyone!¡±


    For some reason, this was the first time he felt dissatisfied with the title ¡°Dr. Chen.¡±


    Couldn¡¯t they just call me ¡°Dr. Chen?¡± or ¡°Big Chen?¡±


    Xu Rou also came over from the side and said with a smile, ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯re here. I noticed the other day that your white coat was a bit small, so I¡¯ve exchanged it for a larger one for you, size 185. You should try it on.¡±


    Xu Rou was very considerate and observant. She was the client manager of the cosmetic hospital, mainly responsible for publicity and attracting clients. When she had nothing to do, she liked to stay in the shop.


    Chen Cang quickly thanked her, ¡°Thank you, Manager Xu, for your trouble over such a small matter. No need to call me by such formal titles; just Chen Cang is fine, or¡­ Dr. Chen works too; after all, I¡¯m not young anymore, already twenty- five or twenty-six.¡±


    Xu Rou¡¯s smile was charming.


    Zhang Zhixin arrived on time as well. After parking his car and not yet entering, he saw Chen Cang and said with a smile, ¡°Little Chen! Congratulations on your transfer, not bad at all!¡±


    Afterward, he turned and said to everyone with a smile, ¡°You all take note, this one is a potential stock, make sure to handle him well. This young man is truly promising!¡±


    Xu Rou¡¯s smiling eyes seemed to be perennially filled with peach blossoms, irresistibly charming. ¡°I knew from the first day I saw Dr. Chen that he was destined for great things!¡±


    Chen Cang hastily demurred, thinking to himself: How could such a beautiful girl like to shoot the breeze!


    Who¡¯s out to do great things!


    Besides, I don¡¯t even know any great things.


    PS: Because I attended a wedding today, the update is late, sorry!

 Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Profitable Industry!

    Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Profitable Industry!


    Translator: 549690339


    [Ding! Daily task: Complete three skin sutures. Reward: +50 skin suture experience, +50RMB.]


    As long as I have the opportunity to do it myself today, completing the task shouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    Chen Cang now pays quite a bit of attention to his daily tasks because he speculates that as long as he can continuously complete the daily tasks, special time periods might trigger special tasks, like the ten-day task last time.


    So, no matter what, one should still try their best to complete the daily tasks. Today, I¡¯m still learning the double eyelid incision technique, and while nobody is around, ZhangZhixin continues to lecture me.


    Currently, the most commonly used double eyelid surgery is the embedding method.


    It¡¯s also the method most accepted by people, and if the embedding isn¡¯t done well, one can always use incision to repair it.


    And since embedding is, well, embedding, the most crucial part is obviously skin suturing.


    This is the most critical step in the embedding procedure.


    In plastic surgery, the most valuable step is often before the surgery itself, which is drawing the lines.


    The hands of a plastic surgeon only need to reach the basic level of a surgeon, but their aesthetic judgment must be on par with that of an artist.


    It¡¯s like before a building is constructed, the design team takes away a hefty sum for the design fees.


    Zhang Zhixin said to Chen Cang with a smile, ¡°In our cosmetic hospital, there are more than a dozen plastic surgeons, each with their specialty. Some are good at double eyelid surgeries, some at breast augmentations, and some are better at injecting hyaluronic acid. There are also a few who specialize in otoplasties, including tympanic membrane repair and cosmetic ear surgeries.¡± Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Teacher Zhang, what are you good at?¡± Zhang Zhixin laughed heartily, ¡°Do I even need to say? With so many living examples in our hospital, can¡¯t you tell?¡±


    Chen Cang slapped his forehead, okay then!


    I get it!


    They¡¯re displayed at the front desk.


    Zhang Zhixin smiled, ¡°My double eyelid surgeries cost just over five thousand, but if I do the operation, the price gets much higher!¡±


    Chen Cang was curious, ¡°How much?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin shook his head, ¡°The surgery varies a lot and there are many influencing factors. For example, based on different materials, there are two types: artificial implants and autologous fat transplants, each with different prices. For artificial implants, the cheapest ones start from over forty thousand, and the expensive ones are boundless. There was a rich guy last time who used hyaluronic acid as the implant material, do you know how much he spent?¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, ¡°How much?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin held up two fingers, and Chen Cang took a guess, ¡°Two hundred thousand?¡±


    ZhangZhixin said teasingly, ¡°2 million!¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded. My word, 2 million. He felt like he was seeing a bunch of laborers from a tiny nation noisily constructing a luxurious artificial mansion inside someone¡¯s body!


    That price was enough to buy a deluxe apartment of more than too square meters in Anyang City.


    Was it filled with nuclear fusion?


    Or a black tech research center?


    Too damn expensive!


    Only an idiot would do such a thing!


    Two million¡­


    While Chen Cang stayed shocked, Zhang Zhixin was laughing, ¡°Do you know? Although hyaluronic acid has great effects, it has one major flaw: it¡¯s short-term. Shortest can be nine months, and at most a year. After a year, it will metabolize away. No matter if you¡¯ve spent hundreds of thousands, it will all revert back with no trace left!¡±


    Chen Cang was bewildered. Is this how the rich live their lives?


    2 million just for a year?


    Skipping stones isn¡¯t played like that, is it?!


    Zhang Zhixin smiled, ¡°But this is very rare; I¡¯ve only seen a few in all these years. Of course, the expensive ones have their reasons. Essentially, there¡¯s a fundamental difference, but artificial implants have become almost indistinguishable in feel from human tissue. Moreover, the price is relatively moderate. Surgery with silicone gel costs around 40-200,000 yuan, and using autologous fat grafting varies around 60-100,000 yuan.¡±


    Chen Cang curled his lip, suddenly feeling that every part of a woman¡¯s body is worth money!


    No wonder tycoons want beautiful mistresses; it¡¯s because they¡¯re valuable. Think about it, if fakes are worth this much, how much would the real thing cost?


    Is this like collecting precious works of art???


    Thinking this way, Chen Cang suddenly felt that the business insight of tycoons is simply different.


    For some reason, he suddenly thought of the actress friend of Zheng Guotan. Zhang Zhixin stood up, smiling as he spoke, ¡°I¡¯m tellingyou this not for any other reason but to let you know something.¡±


    ¡± In the cosmetic surgery industry, it¡¯s one of the emerging highly profitable fields. The amount of money you make depends on how capable you are!¡± ¡°In some ways, we¡¯re no different from hairdressers. The price you pay for an ordinary hairdresser versus a head stylist or director¡­ is not the same. Your ability determines your price.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the same with us; different doctors have fixed prices for the same surgery! We¡¯re here for business, not for anything else, just to make money. As long as you¡¯re capable, you don¡¯t have to worry about not having money.¡±


    ¡°Do you know how long it took me to earn my domineering car?¡±


    Chen Cang, flexing his greatest imagination, guessed, ¡°Ayear!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right. The domineering car cost 600,000, and I saved for a year. But that was five years ago. Now¡­ it would only take about a month.¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded!


    What the fuck?


    600,000 in one month?


    Zhang Zhixin nodded, ¡°For one surgery, after deducting all expenses, my fee is 30,000.1 can perform five surgeries a day, which is 150,000 a day.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the same with double eyelid surgery. If you can independently perform double eyelid surgeries well, you can set your own prices and do them here.¡± Chen Gang¡¯s breathing started to quicken.


    He knew that in the cosmetic industry, a double eyelid surgery could cost 3,000 if you go to an ordinary person, 10,000 with a specialist, and tens of thousands with a master. For celebrities, it could be hundreds of thousands, varying widely.


    This is the disparity!


    ¡°Alright, wake up, it¡¯s enough to just think about it; don¡¯t daydream. I¡¯m just painting a picture for you, showing you the future. Right now, you ¡®re still a small fry, nothing special!¡±


    ¡°Try it out today. The main difference between embedding thread and skin suturing might just be the angle of the stitching, but ultimately, they are both skin suturing. You¡¯ll understand once you try it, the main purpose is to hide the knotsand stitches¡­¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, honestly feeling eager to try it.


    There were three double eyelid surgeries scheduled for this morning. Inside the operation room, Zhang Zhixin began with an introduction and marking.


    The same preparation method, Chen Cang was already thoroughly familiar with.


    After Zhang Zhixin marked the several points that needed work, he gave a subtle signal to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang immediately understood the meaning and quietly picked up the suture needle, starting his first suturing.


    Embedding thread is about the placement of anchoring points and uses absorbable thread that doesn¡¯t require removal, with the main goal of leaving no trace!


    Chen Gang¡¯s special skill in skin suturing just happened to be leaving no traces. However, embedding thread still differed slightly from ordinary suturing, and Chen Cang needed to ponder and practice it slowly!

 Chapter 76 - Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Are These Joey Wongs Eves

    Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Are These Joey Wong¡¯s Eves?


    Translator: 549690339         ¡ã  *


    Chen Cang held the needle holder in his hand, carefully lifted the eyelid, applied slight force with the needle tip, and instantly penetrated the skin. The resistance from the fine thread was minimal, weaving through the skin with almost no effort at all.


    Everything seemed to be going very smoothly.


    One end of the double-threaded needle entered at point a, emerging on the conjunctival surface, while the other end entered at point b, traveling subcutaneously for 3mm before coming out!


    At that moment, Chen Cang finally encountered the difficulty!


    Both needles had to exit through the same point, which truly tested one¡¯s precision!


    Right!


    Chen Cang suddenly understood the meaning of ¡°precision¡± in the attribute [Precision +1] of the surgical scalpel.


    [Precision]could be applied to those meticulous operations, such as nerve suturing, as well as another industry that required fine manipulation: neurosurgery.


    That is, brain surgery, which is also a highly specialized field in the surgical industry.


    This was a domain for academic elites!


    Naturally, Chen Cang also wanted to learn¡­


    In fact, those who graduated from undergraduate programs had an advantage over graduate students and doctoral candidates because their career options were broader.


    Generally speaking, graduate and doctoral students develop professional competencies while in school and typically have stronger professional skills, but they are also more restricted in their specialty, particularly in their thinking.


    What you learn is what you want to do; if you studied gastroenterology, you wouldn¡¯t go into neurology, just as someone who specializes in appendix removal wouldn¡¯t go sew cardiac vessels.


    As for Chen Cang, a halfway undergraduate, he wasn¡¯t picky; he wanted to learn everything and try everything because he still didn¡¯t know where his future would take him¡ªthe more skills, the better.


    If he really stayed in the emergency department for a lifetime, Chen Cang would be willing, but to do that, he¡¯d have to master various skills and be proficient in everything. He wouldn¡¯t necessarily become Wang Xiangjun, but he would still need to strive to be like Li Baoshan.


    The topic may have strayed far, but precision is an extremely useful attribute for surgery.


    Unfortunately, the onlyfPrecision +1] was given to the scalpel, not the suture needle; otherwise, Chen Cang would have been spared a lot of effort in this step. Chen Cang held his breath and carefully threaded the needle out. At this point, any discrepancy in the exit points would affect the outcome and could even lead to unpredictable complications, such as adhesions in the N¡ã6 thread during the absorption process, potentially impacting the cosmetic effect!


    Chen Cang realized that this was not just a simple suture, but a skin closure with many other detailed steps added!


    Finally, he succeeded!


    Next, he had to tie knots quickly, with the tied line buried beneath the skin at the exit point he just made.


    All of this looked very simple, but each step was taken with extreme care and precision.


    This was the essence of cosmetic surgery, striving for perfection in the smallest of details.


    Upon completing the suturing from point a to b, it signified the success of the first step, and Chen Cang continued with subsequent procedures.


    After about half an hour, the surgery was complete!


    Afterward, Zhang Zhixin immediately took over.


    The follow-up work was simple: applying an eye pad, bandaging, giving some instructions, and then asking the nurse to take the patient away.


    [Ding! Learned buried sutures double eyelid surgery, current level: beginner, experience 100/1000.]


    Chen Cang was delighted; indeed, one could only truly learn a skill by trying it firsthand.


    Zhang Zhixin smiled, ¡°For a first attempt, this is a satisfactory performance.


    You did quite well.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled back, knowing that he still had a long way to go.


    The short half-hour operation had drained him of too much energy.


    This was still the sign of a novice!


    The first surgery inspired Chen Cang and also reassured Zhang Zhixin a lot.


    Honestly, allowing Chen Cang to operate was somewhat risky.


    A small problem would have been manageable, but if the needle had punctured the eyeball, or if there had been a significant mistake in suturing, it could have led to some trouble.


    Chen Cang performed all three surgeries that morning, but he still felt his shortcomings were very apparent, and his clumsy knot-tying and suturing seemed to be the hurdles.


    Chen Cang looked at the skill points in his hand, hesitating whether to use them to improve his skill level or not.


    Should he level up his buried sutures double eyelid surgery skill directly?


    After some hesitation, he still couldn¡¯t bring himself to do it.


    At noon, Zhang Zhixin went to take a nap, while Chen Cang pondered in detail what he should do next.


    In the afternoon, just as they were preparing to start the surgery, Xu Rou suddenly came rushing up.


    ¡°Dr. Zhang, there¡¯s been an accident!¡±


    Chen Cang and Zhang Zhixin quickly turned around, ¡°What happened?¡±


    The patient who was about to undergo surgery was also taken aback!


    What had happened?


    Zhang Zhixin lowered his head and said to the patient, ¡°Wait a moment, please.¡±


    He took Chen Cang and left.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Zhang Zhixin asked with a frown.


    Xu Rou said, ¡°Someone¡¯s causing trouble!¡±


    Although they were in the corridor, the noise was already audible!


    ¡°Unscrupulous business, scamming people¡¯s money!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixin hurriedly ran downstairs!


    Chen Cang also followed in a rush, charging down the stairs; just as he reached the entrance, a sudden stench hit him!


    Human feces!


    The smell, reminiscent of a septic tank, was all too familiar to Chen Cang, just like the manure from the toilets in the countryside.


    The foul odor so overwhelmed the room that the customers waiting in the hall or seeking advice couldn¡¯t help but cover their noses.


    Because the smell was too overpowering!


    The glass wall beside the main door was smeared with feces, the sight enough to make anyone nauseous.


    Several receptionists couldn¡¯t help but turn away.


    Zhang Zhixin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but the odor was too intense and he gave up halfway through his inhalation.


    ¡°You go first and take the customers to the VIP room; make sure they are well attended to.¡±


    Xu Rou nodded hurriedly and got busy with the task.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang followed Zhang Zhixin out.


    As they went out, he was startled.


    A crowd stood at the door, wearing thick masks.


    This group of about a dozen people yelled loudly, ¡°Unscrupulous business!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin promptly shouted, ¡°I am the person in charge of the cosmetic surgery hospital. If our hospital has done anything to wrong everyone, please point us in the right direction.¡±


    At that moment, a woman got out of a BMWX5. Her height¡­ not as tall as the BMW, with a somewhat plump build, or rather, it was more appropriate to say she was fat. But the woman wore sunglasses and was dressed in a cheongsam and high heels, resembling the wealthy matron from the Hong Kong film ¡°The King of Gigolos.¡±


    The matron abruptly gestured, and the surroundings fell silent instantly.


    ¡°Why am I here? Heh¡­ don¡¯t you have an idea?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin spoke calmly, ¡°I have neglected the management of this place, and I hope the madam can offer some guidance.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t that Zhang Zhixin was a pushover!


    Quite the contrary, standing at an imposing 185 centimeters tall with a robust build, his bald head made him resemble a so-called social figure. But Zhang Zhixin understood that as a business operator, the institution was not just a hospital, and it was important to focus on harmonious relations for profit.


    Without clarity on the situation, and if a dispute arises, could the business still operate?


    Regardless of who was right or wrong, it wouldn¡¯t be good for the cosmetic surgery hospital.


    This incident had to be handled properly!


    Of course, Zhang Zhixin was not afraid. On the contrary, running a cosmetic surgery hospital required having special backing. Zhang Zhixin could handle issues on his own, and if he couldn¡¯t, he certainly wasn¡¯t afraid of trouble.


    The woman snorted coldly, ¡°I, Xiao Tianhua, have lived a forthright life, rewarding kindness and avenging wrongs; of course, I wouldn¡¯t be unreasonable.¡±


    After saying that, she immediately removed her mask and sunglasses and said, ¡°These are the eyes I got done here. I paid 300,000 yuan for this? Do you think it¡¯s easy to scam my money?¡±


    At that moment, the onlookers peered closely!


    What kind of eyes could be worth 300,000 yuan with just a minor adjustment?


    The woman was bold, standing there allowing everyone to gaze upon her!


    These eyes¡­ actually look pretty when seen individually¡­¡±


    ¡°Yeah, but why do they feel a bit odd when put together?¡±


    ¡°More than odd, it¡¯s¡­ really hard to keep looking.¡±


    ¡°My eyes hurt! Why do I feel like crying¡­¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the manure stinging you¡­¡±


    The woman snorted coldly again, ¡°These are the eyes of Joey Wong you talked about? I spit on that!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you, if you don¡¯t fix this for me, I¡¯ll send someone here every day! Then, we¡¯ll see whether my family¡¯s manure is more or you have more people!

 Chapter 77 - Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Dual Tasks, No Limits!

    Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Dual Tasks, No Limits!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    The woman¡¯s words were undeniably confident and emphatic!


    ¡± Is there more of my pig manure or more of you people?¡±


    Who exactly was this formidable woman?


    Suddenly, the onlookers spoke up, ¡°Xiao Tianhua? Why does that sound so familiar?¡±


    An old man nearby also pondered abruptly, ¡°Right, that name does ring a bell!¡±


    Out of the blue, an old lady said, ¡°Isn¡¯t she that¡­ what¡¯s her name¡­ the Pig Farming Queen, Xiao Tianhua?¡±


    At that moment, the surrounding people had an epiphany!


    So it was this powerhouse.


    So the manure was¡­ pig manure!


    Unusual!


    Nowadays, a pig strikes it rich, and prices skyrocket. Every part shakes thrice in value, whether it¡¯s pork belly or tenderloin. What if¡­ the price of pig manure goes up?


    Xiao Tianhua was quite capable¡ªa rural woman who started with a few pigs and built up a farm of ten thousand. This year, with pork prices soaring, our Queen Xiao decided to establish her brand.


    That¡¯s why Queen Xiao came to get plastic surgery on her eyes.


    Xiao Tianhua felt she was quite decent-looking; the only flaw was in her eyes. Since her husband admired Joey Wong, she studied Joey Wong carefully and decided to get eyes just like hers after being recommended to Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital.


    Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°May I know which doctor performed the surgery?¡±


    Xiao Tianhua: ¡°His name is Wang Chen!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixin frowned.


    Wang Chen didn¡¯t belong to their hospital. He was a specialist from Shanghai and cooperated with several plastic surgery hospitals in Anyang city, performing surgeries wherever there was a client.


    Moreover, he only took on big projects!


    The kind that cost hundreds of thousands for a single surgery.


    Similarly, Wang Chen was well-known in the industry for specializing in eye surgeries, and was humorously referred to as ¡°Eyes Magician¡± by his peers.


    Hearing Xiao Tianhua¡¯s words, Zhang Zhixin took a patient look at her eyes.


    In fact, it was really hard to fault Wang Chen¡ªthe eyes were indeed an accurate reproduction of Joey Wong¡¯s.


    But¡­


    These eyes.


    Really depended on whose face they were on.


    But¡­ how to explain this problem?


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly saw a huge question mark appear.


    [Ding! Consult with Xiao Tianhua carefully to receive a quest! ]


    [Ding! Help Zhang Zhixin get out of this predicament to receive a quest reward. The reward will be determined by your level of participation and the quality of completion.]


    A double quest?


    I must accept it.


    Chen Cang stepped forward and faced the imposing Xiao Tianhua, ¡°Sister Xiao, please calm down first.¡±


    Xiao Tianhua glared at Chen Cang, ready to retort with scorn, but after a glance¡­ Xiao Tianhua hesitated with the words she had on the tip of her tongue: ¡°How can I not be angry? I spent a lot of money and trusted you completely, but look at my eyes now¡ªturned out like this, what should I do? Do you have a solution?¡±


    [Ding! High-level NPC Xiao Tianhua has issued a quest to help her get the right eyes for her. The quest reward will be evaluated based on Xiao Tianhua¡¯s satisfaction.]


    Chen Cang was suddenly delighted.


    Two quests, both with rewards based on the outcome.


    This indicated that these quests had a high upper limit. If executed well, the rewards would naturally be abundant.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang discreetly chose to accept the quests!


    Chen Cang nodded to Xiao Tianhua, ¡°We deeply regret that such a thing has happened, but¡­ in this state, we can¡¯t properly resolve the issue.¡±


    ¡°So, I have a suggestion. Let¡¯s ask everyone to disperse first, then we can go inside and talk it over to find a good solution and restore your beautiful face.¡±


    ¡°As for¡­ the manure incident, your home surely isn¡¯t short of pig manure. If the problem isn¡¯t solved, you can still pour it later. When the time comes, I¡¯ll stand outside with you to pour it, how does that sound?¡±


    With these words¡­


    The first to be dumbfounded was Boss Zhang.


    He stood there, utterly confused, not expecting Chen Cang to say such things. This kid was really¡­ unpredictable!


    You think these eyes are easy to fix?


    Xiao Tianhua¡¯s face was rather large, her skin was dark, and she had a big nose, large eyes, and a big mouth, with short and thick eyebrows. Her skin was even less spared from long-term sun and rain exposure, and her lifestyle habits.


    Just think about it, what kind of scene would it be with Joey Wong¡¯s eyes on that kind of face?


    No need to say, we all know.


    So, if even Zhang Zhixin was unsure, how could Chen Cang be confident?


    Isn¡¯t this just reckless?


    You think this is some kind of joke?


    Something you can just laugh off when it¡¯s all said and done?


    This big sister was bold enough to do something that disturbs public order like splashing manure, do you think she¡¯s made of water?


    Even concrete doesn¡¯t have that kind of courage!


    And furthermore¡­ thinking of what Boss Zhang mentioned behind Chen Gang¡¯s back: ¡°If the problem can¡¯t be solved, just pour slowly, help with the pouring!¡±


    Thinking of this, his teeth itched with rage.


    He quickly grabbed Chen Cang, turned around, and apologetically said to Xiao Tianhua, ¡°Ms. Xiao, this matter requires more careful consideration. What Dr. Chen said¡­¡±


    But Xiao Tianhua cut Zhang Zhixin off directly!


    ¡°I¡¯m very interested in this young doctor!¡±


    ¡°I think what he said makes sense. I want to talk to this young doctor; he¡¯s right, there¡¯s plenty of manure, no rush over a day or two.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang quickly made a secret signal to Zhang Zhixin.


    Then he turned to Xiao Tianhua with a slight smile, ¡°This way please, Sister Xiao!¡±


    Xiao Tianhua looked at Chen Gang¡¯s face with satisfaction. She felt that there might be a chance for her.


    As a plastic surgeon, if you yourself aren¡¯t good-looking¡­ how dare you offer to perform surgery on me?


    Not even taking a look at what you are.


    This young man is not bad, at least his face is decent, worth spending time to talk to.


    Meanwhile, Zhang Zhixin stood there dumbfounded¡­


    What is little Chen trying to do?


    Sacrificing himself for our hospital¡­


    This is just too selfless. Thinking of Chen Gang¡¯s final look, Zhang Zhixin hesitated. Was little Chen hinting for him not to interfere?


    Zhang Zhixin sighed, quickly calling someone to clean up.


    Although manure symbolizes wealth¡­


    But modesty about one¡¯s wealth is a traditional Chinese virtue, naturally it can¡¯t just be left hanging on the wall.


    And more importantly¡­ the stench of ¡°money¡± was too¡­ overpowering. If this continued, he feared he would be corrupted, which would not be conducive to the cultivation of a spiritual and civilized lifestyle.


    Thinking this, Zhang Zhixin quickly picked up the phone to arrange for a cleanup¡­


    After nearly an hour, Zhang Zhixin looked at the sparkling glass wall with a flood of emotions.


    Then he looked up at the second floor.


    His heart was a mix of complexity.


    Some bewilderment.


    Some regrets.


    Some moved feelings.


    Some remorse.


    But most of all¡­ envy.


    It¡¯s been over an hour now, how come little Chen¡­ hasn¡¯t finished yet?


    No matter how rambunctious youth are, it shouldn¡¯t take this long, right?


    With that thought, Zhang Zhixin decided to wait a bit longer.


    But then¡­


    Another ten minutes passed.


    Zhang Zhixin really felt bad, after all, thirty is like¡­ forty is like¡­ fifty you sit on the floor¡­


    Little Chen is so young.


    So young, yet having to withstand beliefs he shouldn¡¯t have to. Gritting his teeth, he pushed the door open.


    But the scene before him¡­

 Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: Chapter 78: My Beauty, Only You Understand!

    Chapter 78: Chapter 78: My Beauty, Only You Understand!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Xiao Tianhua looked at Chen Gang¡¯s profile, her mind lingering on it for a long time, and thought about many things.


    But ultimately, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°This¡­ Doctor, how should I address you?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°My name is Chen Cang, Sister Xiao can just call me Doctor


    Chen.¡±


    Xiao Tianhua: ¡°Doctor Chen, is your face also ¡®constructed¡¯?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, not expecting Xiao Tianhua to ask such a question, and replied with an awkward smile, ¡°This was crafted by my mom, all set from the time I came out of her belly.¡±


    Chen Gang¡¯s response indeed made Xiao Tianhua cry and laugh at the same


    time.


    However, Xiao Tianhua never minded others saying she wasn¡¯t good-looking. A former pig-feeding farm woman who became a boss of hundreds with a net worth over a billion, she naturally had a mental strength that wasn¡¯t comparable to ordinary people.


    But with all the laughter aside, it was only Chen Gang¡¯s sweet-talking that eased Xiao Tianhua¡¯s anger a bit, however¡­ if the problem wasn¡¯t solved, the matter would still be unresolved.


    just like what the young man said, the spilling needed to be done, and she had


    to involve him in it.


    ¡°Can you really fix me up properly?¡± Xiao Tianhua still held some hope.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm, I have some confidence, but how should I put it? Sister Xiao, let me explain. Actually, your eyes, the way they look right now, are truly modeled after Joey Wong.¡±


    ¡°But, Joey Wong¡¯s facial features and yours don¡¯t match. Joey Wong has a petite nose and small mouth that don¡¯t really complement your facial structure and overall visual impression.¡±


    ¡°Actually, cosmetic surgery isn¡¯t about looking like someone else, but about looking more like yourself!¡±


    ¡°What we need to do is to accentuate your facial strengths, mitigate the weaknesses, and make your face more distinctive! Making it look more comfortable.¡±


    ¡°If your face needs adjusting, it certainly should be aimed towards looking robust, generous, and sincere!¡±


    These words really hit home for Xiao Tianhua!


    Why did she want cosmetic surgery?


    Because she wanted to register a trademark.


    Following in the footsteps of Lao Gan Ma, learning from Wang Shouyi, striving


    towards Wei Long.


    Printing her own portrait on the finished pork products, selling them within


    Dongyang Province, and even farther.


    But what happened?


    Others improved their looks with surgery, but what about her? What did she


    turn into?


    How could she not feel upset about this?


    Especially her wealthy lady friends around her, who were never shy with their taunts and mockery.


    In an emotional moment, she took the drastic step of today¡¯s manure-throwing incident.


    Hearing what Chen Cang said, Xiao Tianhua indeed believed him a little, so she patiently said, ¡°Doctor Chen, let me give you some background. The reason for my plastic surgery is to make myself look a bit better and turn my headshot into a trademark, just like¡­ just like Wang Shouyi and those people.¡±


    When Chen Cang heard this, he couldn¡¯t help but marvel. The world of powerful women was indeed different. While he was still scratching to make ends meet, she was already donning the armor of the six deities and going super god, ready to conquer the nation with her trademark; truly impressive.


    But this had nothing to do with him. Chen Cang laughed, ¡°Sister Xiao is amazing. You are now one of An Yang City¡¯s entrepreneurs, a true success.¡± ¡°However¡­ if you want your portrait to be a trademark, I do have a good idea regarding adjustments to your face, especially your eyes!¡±


    ¡°I think since it¡¯s going to be a trademark, it needs to carry your distinctiveness, be striking, and make an impression, and it should be auspicious. How about this, Sister Xiao, I¡¯ll draw you a picture, and you can see if you¡¯re satisfied?¡±


    After listening to him, Xiao Tianhua also thought there was some reason to it. Considering the drawing, it indeed could serve as a reference.


    As the two sat facing each other, Chen Cang observed Xiao Tianhua¡¯s facial features, and with a thought, a virtual screen appeared, displaying various pieces of information.


    The ¡°Eyes of Beauty¡± system started automatically, and the screen in front of Chen Cang seemed to become a face-sculpting system, showing several different looks naturally guided by the system¡¯s suggestions.


    These designs for the eyes matched Xiao Tianhua very well and could be said to complement her face perfectly.


    Beautiful? Not really!


    The eyes alone looked quite average.


    But when everything came together, they genuinely made a good impression. Just like a viral video on the internet recently, ¡°The eyes are very average, the mouth also quite intense, but¡­ the person looks very spirited!¡±


    At this moment, this was exactly how Xiao Tianhua looked on the virtual


    screen!


    It could even be said that this pair of eyes saved an utterly ordinary and featureless face, adding character and fullness to it.


    ¡°Eyes of Beauty¡± suggested four or five options, meaning there were four or five sets of eyes that would be a bonus, and each set left Chen Cang very satisfied.


    Maybe this was what the saying ¡®different strokes for different folks¡¯ meant; it was time for Xiao Tianhua to make a choice.


    Chen Cang now really wanted to thank someone, which was his anatomy teacher.


    During university, the assignments for anatomy class often required students to draw various tissues, organs, internal body parts¡­


    Chen Cang repeatedly delved into drawing, and his skills in sketching and pencil drawing were fairly passable.


    After much effort, five portrait sketches were successfully produced!


    Just as Chen Cang was about to speak, Zhang Zhixin suddenly pushed the door and came in.


    He saw Chen Cang holding a piece of white paper with a sketch, while Xiao Tianhua was sitting quietly opposite.


    Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhixin was slightly startled, but ultimately heaved a sigh of relief¡­


    Thank goodness it was just drawing, it hadn¡¯t reached that stage yet, otherwise he would have felt so guilty.


    When Chen Cang saw Zhang Zhixin enter, he smiled and said, ¡°Teacher Zhang, you¡¯re here. I just designed a few sets of eyes for Sister Xiao, and you¡¯ve come right on time to give some feedback.¡±


    While speaking, he handed over the sketch.


    Zhang Zhixin thoughtfully took it.


    Xiao Tianhua was equally curious and casually picked up one to look at.


    But¡­


    The moment she picked it up, just one glance was enough to dumbfound her.


    Yes!


    Xiao Tianhua was stunned by her own portrait!


    Because the person in the drawing was exactly how she dreamt of looking¡­


    Each of us has an idealized version of ourselves, a beautified self¡­


    At that moment, the sketch was exactly how she imagined.


    A sense of identification instantly filled her heart.


    In her haste, she picked it up and said, ¡°This is it! This is how I want to look, I like this one.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin was also stunned; to be honest, he too was shocked by the image Chen Cang had designed!


    Generally speaking, the most crucial aspect for a plastic surgeon is to design the desired appearance.


    Most people undergo plastic surgery based on templates of celebrities or a few fixed molds, so the outcomes naturally resemble assembly line products.


    Zhang Zhixin could never have imagined that Chen Cang had such a talent. With this talent, if you became a plastic surgeon, wouldn¡¯t you be incredibly successful, like a fish in water?


    You would be so joyful!


    Hearing Xiao Tianhua say this, Chen Cang smiled and replied, ¡°Sister Xiao, please don¡¯t rush. Have a look at all of these drawings and choose your favorite because¡­ you can¡¯t keep redoing eye surgery, doing it too often can cause problems.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianhua hurriedly picked up the second¡­ the third¡­ and even snatched the fifth drawing from Zhang Zhixin¡¯s hand.


    For a moment, Xiao Tianhua was confused.


    All five drawings, each one better and prettier than the last.


    When she looked up at Chen Cang again, her eyes were filled with longing, excitement, agitation, and the feeling of finding a kindred spirit.


    After a long time¡­


    Xiao Tianhua, somewhat losing control of her emotions, blurted out, ¡°Chen! Only you understand my look! Only you can capture my beauty!


    That sentence might have been the deepest, most heartfelt thing Xiao Tianhua had said in her over forty years of life¡­


    Ps: Writer: Is this no? I want to report a crime!


    Policeman: Why? What happened?


    Writer: At 12:05 a.m. last night, a group of people was clamoring to rip up tickets¡­ I was so scared¡­


    The policeman, busy all night, a day later¡­


    Policeman, furious: You missed an update?


    Writer: I just fell asleep because I was tired from writing¡­


    Policeman: Serves you right! Scram! Good-for-nothing! Still dare to miss updates, see this? Snip!¡­ Alright, don¡¯t let it happen again!


    Writer: Feeling wronged¡­

    Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Resorting to Money at the Slightest Disagreement?


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Even Chen Cang was utterly bewildered by Xiao Tianhua¡¯s words!


    ¡°Big sister, I¡¯m just doing my job. Don¡¯t get so into character. I sell talent, you pay¡­ Let¡¯s part on good terms; with you like this¡­ I don¡¯t know how to ask you for money!¡±


    Chen Cang felt somewhat helpless.


    ¡°Everything was fine, but you had to bring feelings into it¡­ Talking about feelings can be so costly!¡±


    Thinking this, Chen Cang felt that he had been too polite and needed to set things straight.


    He hastily gestured with his hands and said with a serious and earnest expression, ¡°No, no, no, Sister Xiao, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I¡¯m a professional; this is my job. That¡¯s all there is to it. Don¡¯t get too excited. Actually, you were already beautiful. I merely highlighted your best features.¡±


    However, Chen Cang did not expect that his words would make Xiao Tianhua even more emotional¡­


    She muttered to herself, ¡°No one has ever said I¡¯m not pretty. They all call me a nouveau riche, saying I can¡¯t change my coarse nature with money. You¡¯re the first to speak of me this way¡­¡±


    [Ding! Xiao Tianhua¡¯s favorability +20!]


    Upon seeing this, Chen Cang was suddenly at a loss¡­ What the heck did I do!?


    I really don¡¯t know why¡­ Why do people in their forties like me so much?


    Where are the young girls at?


    My Mom must have given me the wrong BUFF!


    After seeing the drawings, Zhang Zhixin also came up with a series of solutions and methods for this matter.


    Definitely shouldn¡¯t blame or fall out with Wang Chen.


    Causing trouble with Wang Chen over three hundred thousand is certainly not a wise choice.


    But likewise, Xiao Tianhua must not be offended either!


    Zhang Zhixin had already thought of the worst-case solution, which was simply to transfer the three hundred thousand from the hospital account and return it untouched to Xiao Tianhua.


    Of course, he also considered the best strategy, but such strategies, being the best, are naturally hard to achieve.


    That would be for Xiao Tianhua to undergo plastic surgery again until she¡¯s satisfied!


    Doing so would not only avoid offending either party but could also build a rapport with Xiao Tianhua and perhaps bring in a lot of wealthy ladies.


    After all¡­


    The friends of a wealthy lady are wealthy ladies.


    And in the plastic surgery industry, the most populous group is those between 22-35 years old, making up over sixty percent.


    But¡­


    The group with the highest spending power is those rich ladies in their forties whose beauty is fading and who are on the decline!


    This group, in their pursuit of beauty, is quite generous with money, and they once propped up half of Hong Kong¡¯s beauty industry.


    Even Japan¡¯s cosmeceutical industry relies not on the young but on the middle- aged with purchasing power.


    Therefore, if Xiao Tianhua¡¯s surgery is successful, it would truly be all gain and no harm!


    It could catapult the business of Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital to a whole new level.


    Although Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital is relatively new to the industry and has seen rapid development, its market share is not very high.


    It¡¯s only considered second tier in Anyang City!


    The first tier consists of chain plastic surgery hospitals and some local ones, like Annie Plastic Surgery and Xiya Plastic Surgery, etc.


    Chen Cang¡¯s drawings gave Zhang Zhixin hope for the future.


    And this hope was not just about performing surgery for Xiao Tianhua but also the prospect of roaring through the plastic surgery industry in Anyang City. With this in mind, Zhang Zhixin looked at Chen Cang with burning eyes!


    It seems that bringing him here was indeed the right decision!


    Truly a wise choice.


    ¡°Let¡¯s finalize this matter first,¡± Zhang Zhixin planned to call the other shareholders to talk with Chen Cang and offer him a good contract or an even better cooperation scheme afterwards.


    But first, the task at hand should be done well!


    Zhang Zhixin looked at Xiao Tianhua and smiled, ¡°Ms. Xiao, have you made your choice?¡±


    Xiao Tianhua had been staring blankly at the five pictures for quite a while!


    She truly didn¡¯t know how to make a choice!


    This choice was different from the others, as you¡¯re choosing your own appearance, and there can only be one!


    It was too hard to choose!


    She looked up at Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, could you¡­ help me pick one?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled!


    Here we go again?


    [Ding, high-level NPC has issued a task: help her choose a photo. Task completion reward: 1. Ten thousand yuan; 2. +5 affinity.]


    Chen Cang: £¤£¤£¤£¤£¤£¤


    Handing out money without a word?


    Well, that¡¯s fine!


    Chen Cang took the five drawings and pondered over them. After a few minutes, he pulled out one, looked at Xiao Tianhua, and said, ¡°I think this one is better!¡± ¡°Ms. Xiao, look at this portrait, the eyebrows and eyes are graceful, and lifting the muscles can make the eyes more fitting. Most importantly, the overall look exudes a dignified and elegant demeanor. Plus, your eyebrows are strong and forceful, which could, if the eyes are too stern, create an unapproachable look. However, this set of eyes softens the fierceness between the brows¡­¡±


    ¡°Moreover, since your portrait is to be used as a trademark, it naturally should be festive and down-to-earth. So, after comprehensive consideration, I still think this one is more suitable!¡±


    After Chen Cang finished speaking and before he even had the chance to catch his breath, Xiao Tianhua made her decision on the spot!


    ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s go with Dr. Chen¡¯s choice, this one!¡±


    With Xiao Tianhua¡¯s decisive choice, Chen Cang joyfully received ten thousand yuan and a 5-point increase in affinity.


    It seemed like he was about to make a nice sum of money again.


    Working for the wealthy was truly¡­ lucrative if done well, but if not¡­ you end up like Zhang Zhixin, embroiled in too much trouble (or, literally, shit)!


    After the decision was made, the next task was for Zhang Zhixin to take Xiao Tianhua through some equipment, record some facial data, and perform a thorough comparison.


    The two busied themselves the entire afternoon. Without performing a single surgery, they finally developed a systematic plan.


    That is, a professional plastic surgery plan!


    Chen Cang¡¯s drawings were just the general direction.


    But the detailed plastic surgery plan required an expert¡¯s thorough study to come up with a more perfect plan.


    After a busy afternoon, Xiao Tianhua had also come to forgive or understand Zhang Zhixin.


    Before leaving, she looked at Zhang Zhixin, but actually directed her words at Chen Cang, ¡°I was impulsive about today¡¯s incident, and I am truly sorry. I will compensate for any specific losses later.¡±


    ¡°Likewise, for this surgery, I¡¯ll spend as much as I need to. I, Xiao Tianhua, am not someone who likes to take advantage of others.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin smiled, ¡°Ms. Xiao, you¡¯re slapping me in the face. It was our responsibility this time.¡±


    Xiao Tianhua shook her head, ¡°No, that¡¯s not how business is done. Let¡¯s keep different matters separate; last time was also partly my fault, I¡¯m not an unreasonable person.¡±


    With that, Xiao Tianhua took out three stacks of money, still sealed, a total of thirty thousand yuan!


    ¡°Dr. Chen, this is your money, it has nothing to do with the plastic surgery hospital. Your plan is worth the money!¡±


    ¡°Also, Dr. Zhang, fair is fair, I¡¯ll give you another chance for the sake of Dr. Chen, but I need a clear answer. Can your hospital do it or not?¡±


    ¡°If you can do it, I won¡¯t argue, I¡¯ll pay what I need to and cooperate as necessary. But if you can¡¯t, then let¡¯s part on good terms without ruining our relationship!¡±


    For a moment, Zhang Zhixin pondered and said, ¡°Ms. Xiao, you should go back and rest for now, and I¡¯ll give you the results by tomorrow, how about that?¡± Xiao Tianhua nodded and left briskly!


    However¡­


    She had just stepped out of the door when she turned back!


    She said to Zhang Zhixin, ¡°Give me those papers. Take a photo of them, I want to take them with me.¡±


    Carefully keeping several portraits of herself, she took out her phone and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, can I get your contact information?¡±

 Chapter 80 - Chapter 80: Chapter 80: These Names... Sound Familiar?

    Chapter 80: Chapter 80: These Names¡­ Sound Familiar?


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Xiao Tianhua left, leaving behind three stacks of money.


    Quick and clean!


    Chen Cang had two new things in his hand: thirty thousand yuan and Xiao Tianhua¡¯s contact information in his phone, along with WeChat.


    Zhang Zhixin took a deep breath!


    It was already past six o¡¯clock; the summer days were long, and even though it wasn¡¯t dark yet, dusk had set in.


    The day¡¯s events left him feeling somewhat exhausted at heart.


    Looking at the thirty thousand yuan in Chen Gang¡¯s hand.


    Zhang Zhixin smiled and said, ¡°Making a fortune, huh?!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled without saying a word. He could tell that, actually¡­ the worry was apparent between Zhang Zhixin¡¯s brows, and his smile clearly carried a hint of distress.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Mr. Zhang, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin took a deep breath, smacked his lips, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s eat. We¡¯ll talk over dinner.¡±


    The two of them got ready and headed to the night market.


    The weather in August was perfect for outdoor barbecue and beer.


    But because of the serious air pollution in Anyang City, open-air barbecues were basically banned and had to be cooked indoors before being served.


    It has to be said, this method was actually quite good!


    Just like how farting inside your trousers wouldn¡¯t let the smell disperse into the air, right?!?


    Could it be that cooking indoors somehow made the smoke stay inside?


    Of course, Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand this aspect and was just voicing a complaint.


    At seven o¡¯clock, the night market wasn¡¯t bustling yet and was still in the warm-up phase, with very few people around.


    Zhang the boss had money, and he led Chen Cang straight to the seafood stall.


    It was obvious that Zhang the boss was a regular, immediately ordering a pile of oysters, chives, lamb kidneys, and crawfish.


    Chen Cang also picked up on some tricks!


    Zhang the boss didn¡¯t look at prices or types when ordering; he only cared about whether the food was potent in boosting virility and kidney health!


    After two bottles of beer and seven or eight oysters, the two of them became more talkative.


    Zhang Zhixin laughed and said, ¡°Chen, I really didn¡¯t expect you to have this skill!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect it either.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin immediately stiffened his smile and asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Chen Cang replied, ¡°This is actually a talent, something you can¡¯t learn. I feel like I was born with it.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin immediately got heated, and Chen Cang ended up being poured another bottle.


    Chen Cang rarely smoked and occasionally drank. He could handle five or six bottles of beer, or seven to eight ounces of liquor.


    While he was studying, it was okay, but after graduating and starting work, Old Chen often dragged him to meetings where drinking was involved.


    Surgeons generally drank; maybe it was because there were a lot of men, and it wasn¡¯t lively without a bit of alcohol.


    After a few drinks, Zhang Zhixin became more talkative.


    Especially when it came to the troublesome matters in the department, Zhang Youfu was even more foul-mouthed.


    Chen Cang became curious. Logically speaking, Zhang Zhixin wasn¡¯t short of money, so why didn¡¯t he resign?


    ¡°Teacher Zhang, why don¡¯t you resign? With so much money to be made outside, why hang around in the hospital every day? It¡¯s tiring and you don¡¯t earn much!¡± Chen Cang asked curiously.


    Zhang Zhixin suddenly looked at Chen Cang with a smile: ¡°Little Chen, you are still too young.¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you why I don¡¯t resign!¡±


    ¡°I obtained my medical doctorate while on the job, not full-time. That means I am recognized as having a doctorate by my current employer, but if I were to bring that part-time doctorate degree to another hospital, they might not acknowledge it.¡±


    ¡°The importance of a doctorate degree in a hospital is self-explanatory. I¡¯m already at an associate senior title, while old Chen is still at an intermediate title. That¡¯s the difference. I¡¯m not boasting about how great I am, but I¡¯m telling you, when you¡¯re playing the system, you must follow the rules of the system.¡±


    ¡°In this world, there are several classes of people! Who are the first class? Those who can break old rules and set new ones. They are the first class!


    And the second class are the controllers of the rules. They can use the rules to their advantage and even modify some of the minor rules.¡±


    ¡°As for the third class? They are the ones who can survive within the rules, adapt exceptionally well to them, and advance quickly. In this lifetime, I lack extraordinary talent and immense power, so the best I can do is to be a third- class person.¡±


    After finishing, Zhang Zhixin didn¡¯t continue but added, ¡°That being said, without the Provincial Second Hospital, there would be no Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital. As a top to hospital in Dongyang Province, that¡¯s my official background, which is trustworthy when spoken.¡±


    ¡°Those bosses, if they didn¡¯t value my doctoral degree from the Provincial Second Hospital and my decent skills, would they invest in me? They are mainly interested in my official background. That¡¯s one reason; what¡¯s the second?¡±


    ¡°The second reason is I have used the Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s platform to develop my own connections, channels, funds, etc. Without this platform, your social network would be very simplistic.¡±


    ¡°So, whatever you do, being a doctor is truly a great platform. For accumulating connections, expanding channels, and so on, it¡¯s definitely a great profession. The Provincial Second Hospital, as a tier-three top-level hospital, is enough for you to build your resources until you¡¯re 40!¡±


    ¡°However, while you have the ability, which is good, you shouldn¡¯t aim too high, after all¡­ the resources you can utilize are your real resources. Even if you went to Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, those resources wouldn¡¯t necessarily become yours!¡±


    Chen Cang, who had only recently entered society, was not very familiar with many nuances of human relationships, but Zhang Zhixin¡¯s words greatly broadened his perspective.


    Latter on, after drinking four or five bottles between them and deciding not to drink anymore, they started to chat over the small crayfish.


    After a while, Zhang Zhixin finally said, ¡°Little Chen, I really owe you one this time, truly, I toast to you, brother!¡±


    After clinking glasses, Zhang Zhixin continued, ¡°But¡­ this surgery is not so simple, which is why I didn¡¯t immediately agree to help Xiao Tianhua.¡±


    ¡°Your plan is flawless, a fantastic plan, and likewise, your design is also a top-notch choice, nothing short of perfect.¡±


    ¡°But¡­ the problem is exactly that, it¡¯s too perfect, beyond my level¡­ Not only can¡¯t I meet it, but the doctors at our hospital can¡¯t either. We need to bring in some experts to do it.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback: ¡°You¡¯re calling in Wang Chen?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin snorted: ¡°That guy, I reckon it¡¯s doubtful. Wang Chen¡­ although he has a reputation, precisely because of this, he¡¯s extremely cautious with his feathers, and won¡¯t touch anything that might harm his reputation.¡±


    ¡°Besides, Wang Chen is 49 this year, getting older, and it¡¯s time for him to rest on his laurels. At this point, undertaking a repair surgery for a botched operation that he is uncertain of is definitely a slap in the face; he wouldn¡¯t come to do it, so¡­ we need to invite a few specialists.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, as it was just as Zhang Zhixin had said; the older and more established doctors with a reputation were even less willing to attract controversy.


    ¡°So¡­ what do we do?¡± Chen Cang asked.


    Zhang Zhixin: ¡°I want to try to recruit some local experts, but¡­ I might not be able to persuade them, after all¡­ colleagues can be competitors, and we¡¯re a private entity, not a public hospital. There¡¯s more exchange in public hospitals. In a place as small as Anyang City, with so many plastic surgery hospitals around, who would look for trouble without reason?¡±


    Chen Cang responded with an ¡®oh¡¯, suddenly recalling the plastic surgery doctors he met last time at Zheng Guotan¡¯s house, thoughtfully saying, ¡°I do know a few people, but¡­ I¡¯m not sure how professional they are¡­¡±


    Zhang Zhixin smiled without dampening Chen Gang¡¯s spirit, knowing the kind of people he could meet: ¡°Little Chen, don¡¯t worry about it, I¡¯ll personally go find them tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you, in Anyang City¡¯s field of plastic surgery, there are several experts: Dongda First Hospital¡¯s Qin Xiang, Xiya Plastic Surgery Hospital¡¯s Yang Tao, and the sister duo from Annie Plastic Surgery, Annie and An Jing¡­¡± ¡°If we can get help from these people¡­ this task will be much easier!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang thought, hey, why do those names sound familiar?

 Chapter 81 - Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Whats on Your Mind?

    Chapter 81: Chapter 81: What¡¯s on Your Mind?


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Cang mulled over the names Zhang Zhixin had mentioned, suddenly slapped his forehead, and had an epiphany!


    I remember now!


    It¡¯s them!


    Chen Cang suddenly recalled the two big shots who had assisted him at Zheng Guotan¡¯s house.


    Seems they were also called Yang Tao and there was one named Qin Xiang!


    Could it be them?


    It should be, right?


    Chen Cang picked up WeChat and checked both of their Moments. With one look, he confirmed it!


    This Yang Tao was the owner of Xiya Plastic Surgery Hospital, and Qin Xiang was even the head of the Dermatology department at Dongda First Hospital.


    Seeing the troubled expression on the drunken face of Zhang Zhixin, Chen Cang naturally wanted to lend a hand.


    After all, one should have a conscience and repay kindness.


    Zhang Youfu had been really good to him. Last time to allow him more practice with surgeries, he had caused a grudge to form in Zhang Youfu¡¯s heart, which inevitably led to some petty office politics.


    If Chen Cang could help and chose not to, he would really feel bad about it.


    Thinking this, he directly said, ¡°Teacher Zhang, I know both Yang Tao and Qin Xiang. Should I try to contact them?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin smiled, ¡°Alright, go rest early, we¡¯ll be busy tomorrow. Don¡¯t worry about this matter.¡±


    Through the interactions over this period of time, how could Zhang Zhixin not know Chen Gang¡¯s background?


    Clean and honest, he didn¡¯t know such big figures.


    Zhang Zhixin had drunk a lot and didn¡¯t go home that night, instead he slept at the office.


    This is where the advantage of a private hospital comes in, the hospital director¡¯s office next door even had a bedroom.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t know what the director¡¯s office bedroom was for, but¡­ considering the oysters and chives Zhang had consumed all night, he hesitated and dared not ask.


    But he felt like he understood most of it¡­


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t have such treatment and had to go home to sleep. Having earned forty thousand yuan that day, he could say it was a fruitful harvest. When taking a taxi, he sat up straight with pride.


    However, after returning home, Chen Cang took the initiative to call and reach out to Qin Xiang and Yang Tao, deciding to ask them for help on behalf of Zhang Zhixin.


    He first called Qin Xiang, and the call was answered quickly.


    ¡°Chen Cang? Haha, long time no see, what can I do for you?¡± Qin Xiang asked with a chuckle.


    Chen Cang: ¡°I really have a favor to ask of Director Qin.¡±


    Qin Xiang laughed and didn¡¯t rush to agree but asked carefully, ¡°Tell me what it is, and let me hear about it first.¡±


    Chen Cang said directly, ¡°Well, Director Qin, a friend of mine is preparing for a facial eye micro-plastic surgery and needs several experts to participate. Do you have time tomorrow?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang thought for a moment before replying, ¡°Haha, is that it? I thought it was something big. No problem, I am also curious to see what this plastic surgery is all about.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately felt cheerful, ¡°Thank you, Director Qin! Then I will trouble you. I will inform you of the specific time and place tomorrow.¡±


    After hanging up, Chen Cang promptly dialed Yang Tao¡¯s number. Compared to Qin Xiang, Yang Tao agreed even more decisively and straightforwardly.


    Chen Cang guessed that with these two onboard, there shouldn¡¯t be any problem, right?


    The next morning, Chen Cang was forced to get up, and the reason ¨C Zhang Zhixin had fed him too many yang-enhancing and kidney-strengthening items.


    He quickly washed his underwear and then took a proper shower, hurrying off to the plastic surgery hospital.


    Even though he was already early, Zhang Zhixin had woken up earlier, already talking on the phone in the office.


    Zhang Zhixin didn¡¯t know who was on the other end, but he was very enthusiastic, even humbly so¡­


    ¡°Alright, alright! No trouble, no trouble at all, you¡¯re busy Director Wang. Okay! Communicate any time you have availability¡­¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhixin¡¯s face darkened and he turned to glance at Chen Cang, sighing, ¡°I guessed right. Wang Chen is really scared of causing trouble and simply does not want to come.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and didn¡¯t say much.


    Zhang Zhixin sighed, picked up the phone, and made several calls. After explaining Xiao Tianhua¡¯s cosmetic surgery repair situation, everyone was reluctant to come.


    Zhang Zhixin suddenly felt troubled!


    He had asked everyone he could think of; those he didn¡¯t know wouldn¡¯t come even if asked.


    What to do now?


    Zhang Zhixin was worried; what on earth was going on? He had finally found a decent opportunity, but just could not seem to find anyone with the necessary technical expertise.


    Just then, Chen Gang¡¯s WeChat pinged, and, checking his phone, they were both here and already downstairs.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Mr. Zhang, I¡¯ll go down and bring up two people.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin waved his hand, not really wanting to talk.


    After Chen Cang left, Zhang Zhixin clenched his teeth, picked up the phone and called a friend: ¡°Old Li, could you introduce me to Director Yang Tao? I have something I want to discuss with him.¡±


    Yang Tao¡¯s Xiya Plastic Surgery Hospital was quite famous within Dongyang Province, and Yang Tao¡¯s own technical expertise was solid ¨C he was a gold- standard signature.


    Zhang Zhixin made up his mind, even if it meant not making any money this time, he would give all the money to Yang Tao as long as the job was handled perfectly.


    The person on the other end of the line responded, ¡°Old Zhang, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin said, ¡°I invited her to have surgery today, and I was wondering¡­¡±


    Before Zhang Zhixin could finish, the other interrupted, ¡°Sorry, Old Zhang, but Director Yang Tao has even postponed meetings today, saying there¡¯s an extremely important person he needs to meet.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin hung up the phone dejectedly, as if the last straw had fallen away, leaving no hope¡­


    What to do?


    At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and Chen Cang walked in with two people.


    When Zhang Zhixin saw the two people clearly, he sprang to his feet, his eyes wide with astonishment!


    ¡°Yang¡­ Director Yang? How did you come here? And Director Qin¡­ What brings you to my place?¡±


    Yang Tao¡¯s Xiya Plastic Surgery Hospital was several times larger and wealthier than this place, and Qin Xiang was the head of the dermatology department at Dongda Hospital, also skilled in medical aesthetics.


    These two were definitely top representatives of Dongyang¡¯s plastic surgery scene, the first-rank elite!


    But¡­ what were they doing here?


    Hadn¡¯t Yang Tao¡¯s assistant said he had an important matter to attend to today?


    He had even postponed meetings¡­


    Chen Cang said with a smile, ¡°Mr. Zhang, these are the two experts I¡¯ve invited for Xiao Tianhua¡¯s surgery.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixin was absolutely speechless!


    He hadn¡¯t expected Chen Cang wasn¡¯t joking!


    He had actually brought these two industry giants here.


    How could he not understand now what his friend meant on the phone, when he said Director Yang Tao was busy today, going to meet an important person?


    That very important person¡­


    Was himself!


    Realizing this, Zhang Zhixin felt a thrill of excitement.


    This time, there was a chance!


    After quickly urging everyone to take a seat, Zhang Zhixin began to explain the surgery¡¯s process and details: ¡°Director Yang, Professor Qin, the procedure is like this, mainly divided into two steps. The first step is facial fat extraction and localized injections, and the second part is lateral canthotomy and removal of epicanthal folds.¡±


    After listening, Yang Tao smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s have the patient come so we can take a look first, and if it¡¯s fine, we can do the surgery today.¡±


    Qin Xiang nodded in agreement, ¡°Precisely.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhang Zhixin immediately picked up the phone and called Xiao Tianhua, saying, ¡°President Xiao, I¡¯ve assembled your facial cosmetic surgery team, there shouldn¡¯t be any issues.¡±


    Xiao Tianhua eagerly asked, ¡°Does this¡­ include Little Chen?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin was taken aback, shouldn¡¯t she be asking about the experts?


    Why does she want to know if Chen Cang is going?


    ZhangZhixin: ¡°Heis!¡±


    Xiao Tianhua immediately nodded with satisfaction, ¡°I¡¯m on my way, wait for me for half an hour.¡±


    She hurriedly hung up the phone and drove over.


    Zhang Zhixin was somewhat taken aback. Don¡¯t you want to ask who the experts are?


    I prepared a whole spiel, and you don¡¯t give me a chance to say it¡­


    You only ask if Chen Cang is coming¡­ What¡¯s in your head?


    Is it filled with this pretty boy???


    Pfft!

 Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: Chapter 82: yy is a Skill!

    Chapter 82: Chapter 82: yy is a Skill!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Yang Tao was a veteran plastic surgeon who had gained some fame at the municipal hospital and was one of the earliest people in An Yang City to engage in plastic surgery.


    After so many years of accumulation, Xiya Plastic Surgery Hospital had become one of the most famous plastic surgery hospitals in An Yang City.


    However, in recent years, with the constant development of the market, the entry of some large chain hospitals, along with the emergence of some dark horses, Xiya Plastic Surgery Hospital could only maintain a mid-tier position in the top echelon, not as glorious as it used to be.


    But Yang Tao, as Xiya¡¯s chief surgeon, though lacking in innovation, was experienced and highly skilled. Zhang Zhixin was truly happy to have Yang Tao on board this time.


    After exchanging the plastic surgery plans, blueprints, and data with Qin Xiang and Yang Tao, both parties had a rough idea of each other.


    As long-time professionals in the industry, they weren¡¯t too worried. Looking at the blueprints on the screen, no one showed the slightest panic or surprise, as it was just an ordinary plastic surgery.


    It could even be described as simplicity itself.


    It was merely a correction for the eyes, coupled with autologous fat transfer.


    Just a minor surgery!


    But¡­ when Xiao Tianhua walked into the office, both Yang Tao and Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help but be momentarily stunned.


    Such¡­ a distinctive woman!


    Zhang Zhixin quickly went up to greet her, ¡°Ms. Xiao has arrived, please take a seat. These are the two specialists who will be performing your surgery today. This is Director Qin Xiang, and this is President Yang Tao!¡±


    With those words, Qin Xiang and Yang Tao¡¯s eyes widened, they exchanged a look, incredulous!


    Was this the patient they needed to perform plastic surgery on today?


    With that thought, Qin Xiang hurriedly took out the portrait that was just in Zhang Zhixin¡¯s hands, which was drawn by Chen Cang.


    Before surgery, it¡¯s essential for a plastic surgeon to envision the final result in their mind ¨C a professional discipline.


    It¡¯s just like Michelangelo¡¯s ability to carve David out of a large block of stone!


    Having a profound insight leads to natural creation when setting pen to paper.


    But¡­


    Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t find any resemblance between the two women at all!


    Because the woman before them was too distinctive, far from the upright, sincere, and jubilant person depicted in the drawing!


    Even Yang Tao had to look up and down¡­ up and down¡­ several times before he realized that it was indeed the same person.


    The nose and the mouth were quite similar, the only difference being the eyes!


    Just an alteration to a pair of eyes had caused such an earth-shattering change in the overall aura and look of this woman.


    Who designed this plastic surgery blueprint?!


    Truly a genius designer!


    They hadn¡¯t expected Zhang Zhixin to have such a designer on his team.


    With that thought, Yang Tao turned enviously to Zhang Zhixin, saying with a touch of sourness, ¡°Dr. Zhang has profound resources indeed, with the help of a master, the rise of Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital is not far off!¡±


    What Yang Tao said was true!


    A plastic surgery hospital needs two types of people the most: a top-tier designer and a top-tier surgeon.


    Between the two, the designer is the soul; the surgeon, the craftsman!


    The significance of each can be understood by comparison.


    What Xiya Plastic Surgery Hospital lacked the least was top-tier surgeons, with many seasoned technical staff, but it was lacking in top-tier designers. The influx of the Korean Wave in cosmetic surgery had swept into An Yang City, shaking up the industry.


    If only he could meet such a designer¡­ how great that would be?!


    Zhang Zhixin smiled and quickly replied, ¡°Not at all, not at all. When compared to Xiya Plastic Surgery Hospital with its profound legacy, we still have a long way to go.¡±


    Of course, he didn¡¯t want Chen Cang, his little treasure, to be stolen away or¡­ lured away.


    Qin Xiang wasn¡¯t running a hospital, naturally, he didn¡¯t care or envy much about these things, but¡­ although he didn¡¯t envy them, his admiration was genuine.


    Qin Xiang nodded as well, ¡°Whoever can design such a blueprint is definitely talented! Remarkable.¡±


    Xiao Tianhua looked at the several people, suddenly pausing, ¡°Right? You all agree the design is nice, don¡¯t you? But¡­ you don¡¯t know who designed it?¡±


    ¡°He is right behind you! Dr. Chen!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixin had the urge to bang his head against the wall!


    He hadn¡¯t managed to keep it a secret!


    Still couldn¡¯t stop it!


    I¡¯m so angry I could die.


    He watched the few people with careful apprehension, fearing they might try to tempt him with money at the slightest disagreement!


    After all, Chen Cang was good in every aspect¡­ except for being a bit poor.


    What if¡­ his resolve wasn¡¯t strong enough? Wouldn¡¯t that be a disaster?


    Yang Tao and Qin Xiang were slightly taken aback, but then suddenly turned around to look at Chen Cang, who was looking at an album, their eyes gleaming!


    Chen Cang held a book titled ¡°Breast Augmentation Case Study.¡± Realizing everyone was staring, his expression changed, and he quickly closed the book and placed it on the table.


    But¡­ he found that everyone was still looking at him, and he couldn¡¯t help but blush: ¡°I¡­ I just wanted to learn this¡­¡±


    Yang Tao asked, ¡°Dr. Chen, truly¡¯aspiration doesn¡¯t come with age¡¯! I originally thought I had overestimated you, but now¡­ seeing you again, you¡¯ve given me another big surprise!¡±


    ¡°To think, at such a young age, you have such profound knowledge in plastic surgery design. Looks like¡­ plastic surgery really is about talent!¡±


    Although Qin Xiang didn¡¯t speak, he was plotting a big move in his heart!


    He was determined that once he got back, he would engage more with Chen Cang and strive to develop a new style soon, to break the monopoly of Korean- style plastic surgery!


    Chen Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: ¡°Oh? You¡¯re talking about this design? Cough cough¡­ Don¡¯t praise me, Director Yang, I didn¡¯t do much, just drew it up based on feeling. I guess I just have a bit of natural talent¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces darkened.


    If you spoke of hard work, we could accept it, for true fragrance comes from hardship!


    You deserve admiration for succeeding through effort!


    But talking about talent¡­ why does it sound so irksome to me!


    Begin surgery preparations!


    There are two surgeries in total, starting with the excision of mongoloid slant, followed by lateral canthal reshaping, and finally liposuction of bilateral cheek fat, with injections to the temples to achieve a wrinkle-free, fuller look.


    Looking at Xiao Tianhua, who had been anesthetized, they still couldn¡¯t help but sigh!


    Being able to achieve such an effect merely by adjusting the eyes on a face like hers, he truly was a genius!


    How could you not admit it?


    Chen Cang was there to observe, so he went to prepare in advance.


    The other three took the opportunity to wash up and change clothes.


    Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°What do you think¡­ how can one train such a talent? This ability to perceive the beauty in things, to find miracles within the ordinary!¡±


    Yang Tao sighed: ¡°If I knew that, I wouldn¡¯t be where I am today.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin pondered for a long time: ¡°It might just be a type of talent!¡±


    At that moment, Zhang Zhixin had a sudden flash of insight, realizing something, and blurted out: ¡°I think it might actually be ¡®yy¡¯ ability!¡±


    Qin and Yang were stunned: ¡°Yy ability? What do you mean?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin stated confidently: ¡°Yy is a miraculous ability where when you see someone, you amplify their advantages, minimize, or even proactively compensate for their flaws, forming the most suitable face for them in your mind!¡±


    Yang Tao frowned: ¡°You mean¡­¡±


    Qin Xiang: ¡°Chen Cang ¡®yy¡¯ed Xiao Tianhua?¡±


    ps: I admit my fault, I self-reflect, three things!


    First: I haven¡¯t updated on time! The reason is there have been too many things going on at home these past few days, and I¡¯ve been extremely exhausted, but it¡¯ll be better tomorrow, back to normal.


    Second: The updates are too short!


    Third: The updates are too short!


    For these three mistakes, I vow to write more seriously in the future, without distraction, and to be a good author.


    By the way, I¡¯d like to recommend a book to show my sincerity: ¡°Outstanding Youth of the Great Ming,¡± a historical novel. The author had a previous book with a ten-thousand readership, a Level Five author, even one level above me. If you like, go check it out. Actually, I¡¯m just offering a book to the heavens, praying for our fans to be healthy, long-lived, and prosperous!


    Lastly¡­


    I¡¯m ashamed of my fans¡¯ rewards: Thank you ¡®Unambitious but Thinking of You¡¯ for becoming the first protector of this book. Thank you to the helmsman ¡®Red Lips High Heels Black Eyeshadow¡¯ and ¡®Steel Straight Man Dog Egg¡¯.

 Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Emergency Big Plan

    Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Emergency Big Plan


    Translator: 549690339 |


    The procedure for removing epicanthal folds can effectively eliminate the excess skin in the inner corners of the eyes to change the shape of the eye corners and clear up wrinkles.


    This minor cosmetic surgery is currently very popular, especially among middle-aged and elderly women.


    Before the surgery began, Xiao Tianhua lay there while Chen Cang started drawing lines, delineating the range for the removal of the epicanthal folds on both sides.


    This step was the most difficult!


    After Chen Cang finished drawing, the supporting role made a dazzling entrance.


    Zhang Zhixin routinely disinfected the area and laid out sterile drapes, then applied a suitable amount of 2% lidocaine to the inner canthus for local infiltration anesthesia.


    Once effective, Yang Tao first addressed the right side, cutting along the designed line for an improved ¡°Z-plasty¡± on the skin, separated the subcutaneous tissue, and formed a skin flap.


    At this time, Qin Xiang, very cooperative and agile, used a 7-0 nylon suture to anchor the subcutaneous tissue and the inner canthal tendon, tightening and suturing it with a stitch.


    Properly trimming the skin flap edges can effectively reduce skin folds, remove the excess skin, and after proper alignment, they used an 8-0 nylon thread for interrupted suturing.


    It seemed simple, and Chen Cang felt he could do it after just one observation.


    But in fact, it was not so simple.


    Given that the facial nerve distribution is extremely complex, and that it could serve as the medical student¡¯s bedside book (hypnotic book), one can imagine how difficult and complicated it is.


    Chen Gang¡¯s current understanding of facial nerve anatomy was limited to a very basic level.


    And greater attention was required for the understanding of how the procedure for cutting the lateral canthus affected the facial nerve.


    As Chen Cang watched and learned, Qin Xiang and Yang Tao explained while performing the procedure, ¡°Little Chen, look here, the facial nerve passes stealthily from this spot, so when using the scalpel, you have to be steady. Facial plastic surgery is different from abdominal surgery; the hand must be heavy but the scalpel must be light. You¡¯ll gradually get a feel for it!¡±


    The surgery lasted almost an hour and a half!


    It went very smoothly!


    It was also very successful, the team worked together with great tacit understanding.


    Chen Cang played a significant role too; apart from drawing lines, he was fully engaged with his watchful eyes during the surgery, providing an indelible supporting role.


    Don¡¯t underestimate the power of an assist!


    Chen Cang had his passive skills, after all.


    Just at that moment, a notification tone sounded!


    [Ding! Operating room rookie passive learning skill triggered with a 1% chance, acquiring Yang Tao¡¯s skill: incision method blepharoplasty.)


    [Incision method blepharoplasty, level: advanced, special effect: rapid recovery.]


    Scored a minor blepharoplasty surgery!


    Satisfying!


    Blepharoplasty, or double eyelid surgery, mainly involves three methods: the most commonly used is the suture method, followed by incision, and lastly the stitching method.


    Of these, the stitching method is the simplest, suitable for beginners, but¡­ the simplest things often have the most flaws and shortcomings.


    The stitching method has many side effects, so it¡¯s generally not recommended for people to try.


    Because after suturing, the entire thickness of the eyelid tissue is tied off, creating an obstruction in lymphatic flow. Post-surgery, it relies on the tissue reaction to the stitching to form an oblique fibrous adhesion from the inside upper to the outside lower between the levator aponeurosis and the skin. However, the amount of fibrous tissue formed often varies.


    If there¡¯s too little, once the scar loosens, the fold may become shallower or disappear.


    If there¡¯s too much, the fold can be excessively high and difficult to reduce.


    In severe cases, if the through-and-through suture is placed too high, it can limit the movement of the levator and Muller¡¯s muscles, leading to eyelid ptosis, eye fatigue, and difficulty opening the eyes.


    Therefore, the suture and incision methods are the most common surgical approaches used now.


    Among them, suturing is the most commonly used method, while incision is the technique with the highest potential and the one that tests the surgeon¡¯s skills the most.


    It can be said that those who dare to perform double eyelid surgery using the incision method are either at the lowest ranks or at the level of kings!


    These are two extremes!


    Just after the surgery, Xiao Tianhua was sent to rest, and Chen Cang noticed that two of his tasks were still incomplete.


    Could it be that he had to wait until General Manager Xiao recovered to consider it a success?


    It seemed he would have to wait a while longer!


    At least seven days.


    But today, I got a great skill from Yang Tao, which makes the trip worthwhile.


    As Chen Cang was getting ready to rest, his phone suddenly rang.


    ¡°Xiao Chen! What are you up to?¡±


    It was Li Baoshan!


    What¡¯s the matter?


    Director Li seldom calls me, could there be an emergency patient at the hospital? ¡°Director, I¡¯m free.¡±


    Chen Cang hid the fact that he had gone out to learn about plastic surgery.


    Li Baoshan made a sound of acknowledgement, ¡°Come over to my place. There¡¯s something I want to discuss with you.¡±


    Li Baoshan¡¯s home was in a residential area near the hospital, just a 5-minute walk to the hospital. It wasn¡¯t cheap, but the hospital had purchased it for him.


    Li Baoshan was brought to the Second Provincial Hospital as part of a talent recruitment program and was given a 100-square-meter apartment.


    After knocking, Li Baoshan answered the door.


    Once inside, there were a few people already sitting there, all familiar faces: An Yanjun, Chen Bingsheng, and¡­ was that Qin Xiaoyuan? Hao Xuliang?


    What big issue could this be?


    Chen Cang wondered to himself but smiled and greeted everyone in order of seniority before finding a place to sit.


    In this setting, it was clear that it was better to listen more and speak less.


    Qin Xiaoyuan addressed Li Baoshan, ¡°Baoshan, you tell us.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded and addressed everyone, ¡°I called everyone here today because I want to discuss an important matter with you all.¡±


    ¡°The development of the thoracic surgery department is not working out. The hospital is considering closing it down. Of course, that¡¯s just the intention; no specific actions have been taken yet. But¡­ even though the thoracic surgery department isn¡¯t large, it does have its own operating room, and the original operating room number eight is also vacant, so after discussing with Director Qin, we¡¯re considering setting up an emergency surgery room. What do you all think?¡±


    As soon as these words came out, everyone¡¯s expressions suddenly became animated.


    Having a separate operating room!


    That would mean moving up in status!


    No more need to compete with other departments for surgery time.


    Typically, the surgery rooms in a hospital are an independent department, but some large departments have their own surgery rooms. For example, departments like gynecology and obstetrics, general surgery, orthopedics, and neurosurgery all schedule surgeries within their own department without needing to involve the central surgery department.


    While the emergency department in the Second Provincial Hospital did conduct a fair number of surgeries, it didn¡¯t have its own dedicated operating room. It worked with relevant departments on related diseases and used the relevant operating rooms.


    To put it bluntly, it was like a son-in-law who comes to live in the wife¡¯s parents¡¯ house, delivering goods and also lending a hand with work.


    The emergency department had become a ¡°middleman,¡± preliminarily dealing with patients and identifying the cause before sending them directly to the corresponding department or¡­ to the morgue.


    That meant there could be a lack of autonomy!


    However, having a separate operating room would change things entirely; it was like a serf turning into a landowner!


    Of course¡­


    There were pros as well as cons.


    At the very least, all the expenses of the operating room, including rent, utilities, consumables, nurses, supplies¡­ all costs would be on the emergency department!


    You have to understand, a hospital is like a large commercial building, and the departments are like tenants inside the building¡ªeach has to pay monthly rent, utilities, and so forth.


    Then, after everything is deducted, your money is deposited into the department¡¯s account!


    So, the hospital has its own marketplace, with severe polarization.


    And the emergency department is a poor, struggling department that often can barely make ends meet, and if it weren¡¯t for special funds and targeted subsidies, it might have already gone bankrupt¡­


    Of course, the hospital wouldn¡¯t actually let the emergency department go bankrupt.


    But¡­ not letting you go bankrupt doesn¡¯t mean that applying for an operating room would be any easier!


    ps: Waking up early to code, aren¡¯t I good?-

 Chapter 84 - Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Who Will Be Chen Gangs Assistant?

    Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Who Will Be Chen Gang¡¯s Assistant?


    Translator: 549690339


    The news of the emergency department being equipped with its own independent operating room was quite surprising to everyone!


    An Yanjun and Chen Bingsheng looked at each other, eyes wide and filled with disbelief.


    Having spent more than a decade in the emergency department, they had weathered many storms and understood a thing or two.


    They were not afraid of troublemakers or hooligans; what they truly feared was when leadership made clear and resounding arguments!


    No matter how good your reasoning might be, they could always come up with a bunch of messy reasons and noble-sounding excuses to stonewall you.


    Qin Xiaoyuan took a drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled, and mused that the situation at the provincial hospital No. 2 was rather complex. He and Tan Liguo had long past their honeymoon phase, and their discord was now out in the open.


    Many directors of the hospital¡¯s surgical system had been handpicked and promoted by Tan Liguo.


    Recalling how Tan Liguo had sabotaged Chen Gang¡¯s last selection, Qin Xiaoyuan felt uncomfortable. This time, he intended to change the hospital¡¯s surgical landscape.


    And the emergency department was the best starting point.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was a heavy smoker, going through a cigarette every half a minute. He stubbed out the butt and said, ¡°Actually, the development of the emergency department is an inevitable trend. As the lifeline for people, it is encouraged and developed by the state, and the leadership took the last chemical explosion case very seriously, saying that they wanted to promote the development of the hospital¡¯s emergency department.¡±


    At this, Qin Xiaoyuan chuckled lightly and looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Speaking of which, Chen Cang, it was your merit. Your performance last time was very eye-catching. Wang Xiangjun had communicated with the leadership in his spare time, and the leadership disclosed that they want the emergency department of provincial hospital No. 2 to take on more responsibilities and coordinate with the emergency center 120.¡±


    This means that our emergency department¡¯s workload will undoubtedly increase. However, the number and quality of doctors must be drawn from various departments to assist in the emergency department¡¯s day-to-day work.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.


    Earning merit is often hard to define; those who work in emergency services all have their merits, but you have to know how to earn it!


    What does it mean to know how to earn merit?


    It means that your achievements must be seen by the leadership (and here we should say 404).


    Qin Xiaoyuan went on to say, ¡°Although the specific news has not come down yet, Baoshan, you should prepare well in the meantime. Coordinate the work because it¡¯s probably coming soon.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, looking at An Yanjun, Chen Bingsheng, and Chen Cang, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve called you here mainly to discuss the coordination of future work, which may require some adjustments. You guys have been my reliable team for a long time, and there¡¯s no need for us to be shy or avoid talking about certain things -we can just sit down and communicate directly.¡±


    ¡°Director An, I trust your skills and capabilities. I¡¯m contemplating setting up a separate hand surgery division within the emergency department for you to lead.¡±


    Upon hearing this, An Yanjun¡¯s eyes lit up instantly!


    An Yanjun was in his forties and his prospects were still on the rise. Being from a hand surgery background, he knew that the development of hand surgery in Dongyang Province was not good, with microscopic surgery unexplored and reattaching severed fingers seemingly a fantasy.


    An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director Li, the development of hand surgery requires not only skills but also equipment. And I can¡¯t do it all alone.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan declared, ¡°The equipment is already on its way!¡±


    Li Baoshan¡¯s eyes gleamed as well, ¡°Chen will be your assistant. The two of you will work together.¡±


    Their statements almost overlapped, causing An Yanjun to momentarily pause before clenching his fist firmly, ¡°I will certainly do well!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng, hearing that Chen Cang was about to be taken away, honestly first felt reluctant to let him go. Bonded over the nearly three years they had been together-a time in which Chen Cang had almost become an apprentice of his they got along very well. The sudden departure of Chen Cang would definitely make him uncomfortable.


    But¡­


    Uncomfortable as it may be,


    it was an inevitable thing to happen.


    And it was for Chen Gang¡¯s future; he couldn¡¯t hold him back.


    With this in mind, Chen Bingsheng shook his head and smiled.


    Yet Chen Cang suddenly fell silent. Truth be told, moving into hand surgery had never crossed Chen Gang¡¯s mind, but¡­ it was the most suitable option at present, considering his master-level tendon suturing skills and his advanced skin suturing. Not to pursue hand surgery would almost seem a waste of his talent.


    But¡­ with old Chen-


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but speak up, ¡°But¡­ I belong to Big Brother Chen. What will he do without me?¡±


    Those words made Chen Bingsheng¡¯s face flush with a wave of red!


    Inwardly, I didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry, both angry and amused!


    that kid is way too mischievous.


    But still, it warmed my heart. Not bad, he has some conscience, and he still thinks of me.


    Li Baoshan glared at Chen Cang, ¡°Don¡¯t you speak; I haven¡¯t asked you yet.¡± After that, he looked at Chen Bingsheng, ¡°Old Chen, you don¡¯t need to worry about the wards anymore. You¡¯ll be in charge of one of the two operating rooms, focusing specifically on various surgeries for general outpatient emergencies. If we¡¯re going to do it, let¡¯s be decisive. From now on, conditions like acute appendicitis, acute cholecystitis, acute¡­ anyway, you¡¯ll be responsible for performing those surgeries.¡±


    The emergency department is a department, but it can also be an entire hospital.


    Many large hospitals have a standalone building for their emergency department, with detailed and varied divisions.


    Li Baoshan, well-traveled and experienced, has worked at many hospitals. Not to mention the current scale, even if the provincial second hospital¡¯s emergency department was tripled, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    Chen Cang, you¡­ you won t need to worry about the wards either.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled!


    What does he mean by not worrying about the wards?


    Li Baoshan continued, ¡°From now on, you¡¯ll focus only on surgeries. Any surgery you have time for, you go scrub in. Learn all the emergency surgeries. When Old Chen operates, you assist him, and when Director An operates, you help out there as well. Of course, you¡¯ll be able to perform surgeries independently too.¡±


    ¡°I hope you become a distinguished surgeon.¡±


    Who couldn¡¯t understand what that meant?


    It was clear they were set on promoting Chen Cang now.


    The greatest fear for surgeons isn¡¯t being busy.


    It¡¯s having downtime.


    Once idle, all their skills go to waste.


    I he intent behind Li Baoshan¡¯s stance was to have Chen Cang bear the brunt.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Bingsheng also smiled with relief. He knew better than anyone about Chen Gang¡¯s talent. You could say he was a born surgeon with immense potential. AU he was missing was a stage.


    An Yanjun also smiled. He had seen Chen Gang¡¯s tendon suturing, which was nothing short of genius. With his addition, the expansion of the hand surgery department would thrive!


    And now, Chen Cang was set to transform directly from a resident doctor to a surgeon in the operating room!


    Upon hearing Li Baoshan entrust him with such responsibility, Chen Gang¡¯s heart surged with emotion and excitement!


    Expectant!


    Extremely expectant!


    Ward work was too tedious, with too much paperwork like writing medical records. Compared to that, Chen Cang much preferred surgery.


    In the midst of this, Chen Bingsheng suddenly said, ¡°Director, I have an idea.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s hear it.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng, ¡°I think we could let Chen Cang manage patients independently, but we could assign him a junior physician to do the paperwork and handle miscellaneous matters. After all¡­ one cannot grow without personally managing patients.¡±


    Li Baoshan¡¯s eyes lit up!


    Brilliant idea!


    In this way, it would neither affect the surgeries nor hinder personal development.


    But¡­ who should assist Chen Cang?


    That¡¯s a problem!


    ps: Thank you to the great slivermoonlz for the generous reward, adding another helmsman to this book! Much appreciated!

 Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: Chapter 85: We became assistants to Chen Cang???

    Chapter 85: Chapter 85: We became assistants to Chen Cang???


    Translator: 549690339


    On Monday afternoon, news spread rapidly throughout the hospital!


    ¡°Did you know? The thoracic surgery department was canceled today, and Shi Qi was transferred to the breast surgery department as the deputy director,¡± Qin Yue said, walking up to Chen Cang with excitement as if she had just heard major news.


    Chen Cang, who was in the middle of writing medical records, was also slightly taken aback!


    So soon?


    It was just one day, and thoracic surgery had been canceled just like that.


    At this time, Wang Qian, one of the three main staff members on duty in the emergency department that afternoon, also joined in: ¡°Serves him right! That Shi Qi, doesn¡¯t know crap. Let me tell you, when I¡¯m out dining with my classmates, I feel embarrassed to even mention that our hospital has a thoracic department.¡±


    ¡°Last time, there was a patient with an empyema, and I ordered a consultation. Shi Qi, full of arrogance, simply refused to come. Only after I issued an emergency consultation did he leisurely show up, and what did he say when he arrived? He said this patient wasn¡¯t from their department and told me to request a consultation with a pulmonologist. I really don¡¯t know how that guy became the head of thoracic surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang also nodded; indeed, Shi Qi was really just a straw bag, widely known throughout the hospital.


    However, returning to his specialty was a good thing, after all. Thoracic surgery was a critical and severe illness department. For someone from breast surgery to manage thoracic surgery was simply ridiculous, wasn¡¯t it?


    The surgical development at the provincial second hospital had always been lackluster, with many departments being only for show, established for the sake of maintaining the hospital¡¯s tertiary status.


    After all, to retain the qualifications of a tertiary hospital, you must have a large number of departments, each with its detailed divisions. To be honest, over the years, the provincial second hospital had indeed spent much unnecessary money and taken many detours.


    The development of surgery was still somewhat lagging. Not to mention on a national level, even within Dongyang province, it couldn¡¯t be considered anything remarkable.


    But these were not issues for these small fry to be concerned about.


    At this moment, Wang Yong hurried into the room and said anxiously, seeing the three of them there, ¡°There¡¯s going to be big news today!¡±


    The three of them looked up in unison: ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Wang Yong said mysteriously, ¡°The director was just about to start surgery when the dean called for a meeting. Apparently, all the leaders from above have arrived, and it seems to be related to our emergency department!¡±


    Inside the hospital conference room, Shi Qi sat there, today¡¯s ¡°main character.¡±


    This might be the last time he would be attending a meeting here. The title of Director Shi might soon change to Deputy Director Shi.


    The main topic of today¡¯s meeting was the ownership of the original thoracic surgery operating rooms, as well as who would take possession of the vacant Operating Room No. 8.


    Everyone wanted it!


    An operating room was just like hospital beds to the departments, a strategic resource.


    Having more beds meant that the performance of the department would significantly improve, and for any surgical department, having another operating room was a development opportunity. They would no longer have to rely on others to schedule surgeries and could even perform many new surgeries.


    Zhang Youfu spoke with a grim face, ¡°I think the operating room should be given to a department that needs it more. Our general surgery department is now preparing to set up a hepato-biliary group. This operating room, if given to us, could better develop our hospital¡¯s surgery and make an important contribution to improving the level and influence of the provincial second hospital¡¯s surgery.¡±


    ¡°As for emergency medicine, it¡¯s a pre-hospital coordination department. All of our departments can coordinate and treat patients. It¡¯s completely unnecessary to give an operating room to the emergency department. Since emergency surgery can¡¯t be carried out independently by the ER anyway, giving them an operating room is just¡­ a waste, right?¡±


    After Zhang Youfu finished speaking, nobody made a sound!


    Li Baoshan didn¡¯t bother to say much or defend himself, knowing that arguing was pointless.


    Because the decision was made by the leadership, and already documented in an official red-heading document. This meeting was to announce the result, not for discussion, so any argument he put up would be meaningless.


    Contrastingly, Tan Liguo calmly said, ¡°I think this is a good attempt. As an important department, we should indeed offer more help to the emergency department. All of our departments should coordinate and support the emergency department to do well in this work.¡±


    Zhang Youfu was momentarily taken aback, his eyes lifting to stare at Tan Liguo, and upon seeing the other¡¯s expression, he fell silent too.


    Honestly, the changes this time had been swift and forceful, with all the news coming down within a day. Not to mention Zhang Youfu, even Tan Liguo was unprepared.


    Zhang Youfu glanced at Tan Liguo thoughtfully, naturally understanding what he meant¡ªcoordinate and ensure the emergency work is done well.


    This ¡®coordination¡¯ was bound to have many stories.


    The next morning, during the emergency department¡¯s handover, Li Baoshan held the hospital¡¯s red-tape document and said to everyone.


    ¡°We¡¯re going to have a meeting today, everybody please take a seat.¡±


    During the handover, the emergency department was accustomed to everyone standing¡ªfirstly, because there were not enough seats, and secondly, to stay alert.


    Li Baoshan said, ¡°Starting today, our emergency department will have its own operating rooms. Operating rooms eight and nine will belong to us, so we can independently schedule surgeries. Head nurse, you need to pay attention to the scheduling and coordination of surgeries, work with the operating room nurses, and do a good job with this¡­¡±


    Having two additional operating rooms meant that the division of labor within the department would have to be completely reorganized.


    Everyone was wondering if their jobs would change significantly?


    Wouldn¡¯t it be great if¡­ 1 could have an operating room of my own?


    Li Baoshan continued, ¡°Going forward, there will be some shifts in our work too, let me explain.¡±


    ¡°Director An will now be in charge of emergency hand surgery and operate room eight. We¡¯ll get hand surgery up and running as soon as possible. Wang Qian will take over Director An¡¯s previous responsibilities, begin managing patients independently. Chen Bingsheng, you will be responsible for our operating room nine, dealing with the common surgeries in emergency, and Chen Cang, you will take over Chen Bingsheng¡¯s previous work, to manage patients independently.¡±


    As this arrangement was announced, everyone below began to feel envious.


    There were still several temp and contract workers in the emergency surgery department, and they were also used to assisting with various tasks.


    Who could have expected that Chen Cang would now be managing patients in the hospital independently? One couldn¡¯t help but feel envious and reflective.


    ¡°Shi Na, your job remains the same, but from now on you will be responsible for the secondary support of all hospitalized patients in the emergency surgery, assisting team leaders Chen Cang and Wang Qian. Wang Qian, Chen Cang, if you have any questions in the future, consult Shi Na.¡±


    The moment Shi Na heard this, her eyes lit up!


    Without a doubt, Shi Na has essentially been promoted, having nearly become an ¡®acting director¡¯ through this indirect elevation.


    The department¡¯s performance and bonuses are distributed based on a coefficient, the more patients you have under you, the higher your income. And now, she is directly responsible for three groups of people¡ªhow could she not be excited?


    Meanwhile, Qin Yue was dumbfounded!


    What about me?


    What about me?


    Wang Qian has turned around to become the host, and even Chen Cang is now managing patients independently. What about myself?


    Am I still just doing odd jobs?


    Wang Yong too was staring with wide eyes; so many people have been mentioned, but what about him?


    Li Baoshan continued, ¡°Chen Cang, you focus more on surgeries, and leave the ward affairs to Wang Yong. Wang Yong, from now on you¡¯ll assist Chen Cang in managing patients.¡±


    ¡°Qin Yue, as for you, you will no longer take care of the ward, but instead support Director An, Chen Bingsheng, and Chen Cang with surgeries, and also take care of data statistics. Your main job will be to adjust surgery data and work on the department¡¯s research projects.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue and Wang Yong looked at each other in dismay! We¡¯ve become Chen Cang¡¯s assistants???

 Chapter 86 - Chapter 86: Chapter 86: A Patient or a Swindler?

    Chapter 86: Chapter 86: A Patient or a Swindler?


    Translator: 549690339 |


    This was Li Baoshan¡¯s attempt!


    It was to have specialized personnel do specialized work, with Qin Yue¡¯s job being exclusively in research.


    If every physician had to be involved in both research and clinical practice, it was simply beyond one¡¯s capability.


    He let Qin Yue leave the ward and, while performing surgeries, also summarized surgical data and techniques, aiming to enhance the emergency department¡¯s research capabilities. This was something Li Baoshan had always wanted to do.


    The times are progressing, and research and clinical practice must be combined!


    This bold measure could be said to be a major reform in the emergency department of Province Hospital No. 2!


    And the biggest change in this personnel shift was Chen Cang, who suddenly became a pivotal force in the emergency department.


    The duties of Wang Yong were clear and straightforward, which boiled down to Chen Cang and Wang Qian¡¯s previous tasks¡ªwriting medical records, managing patients¡­


    Chen Cang transformed into a senior physician!


    And I became Chen Gang¡¯s subordinate physician¡­


    With a heart full of bitter tears, Wang Yong sighed.


    Even then, he felt inferior to Chen Cang and the others; at least they used to be senior physicians with substantial experience and superior skills and techniques, while himself¡­ Doing clerical work and odds and ends for Chen Cang honestly made Wang Yong feel immensely frustrated!


    Even if he was less capable, he did not want to fall to this point.


    It wasn¡¯t just the fear of hardship and losing face that Wang Yong feared, but the lack of hope.


    How much stronger could Chen Cang be than him?


    How much could he learn by following Chen Cang?


    He knew that Chen Cang had some ability and was better than him, but this superiority was limited and would not be too far ahead of his own abilities. How much could following Chen Cang change him?


    Very limited!


    But such is life, you can only be influenced if you lack the ability.


    If you want to stay in Province Hospital No. 2, you have to comply with the arrangements.


    At this moment, Wang Yong was even wavering about his intention to stay in Province Hospital No. 2, as following Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t allow him to learn much, staying would just be a waste of his youth.


    If he could have a contract here, that would be fine, but if he remained a temporary worker this time, Wang Yong decided he would leave.


    Alas¡­


    Who can easily let go of two or three years?


    In fact, Li Baoshan wasn¡¯t targeting anyone¡ªit was just a rational arrangement. He was redistributing based on different people¡¯s strengths. Actually, he wanted Chen Cang to specialize in surgery, but after considering Chen Bingsheng¡¯s words, he thought younger people still needed to see and experience more, and that¡¯s why he decided to let Wang Yong work with Chen Cang.


    Wang Yong, as a temporary worker, was most suitable to assist Chen Cang and handle miscellaneous tasks.


    Qin Yue was quite satisfied with her job!


    After all, from now on she only needed to perform surgeries, gather data, and write articles, which considerably reduced her clinical stress while increasing her research pressure.


    But¡­ research work might be the area where the emergency department can achieve the most rapid results.


    Qin Yue was also very content!


    The only dissatisfaction was¡­ having to assist Chen Cang!


    The personnel changes had to be completed within three days, and frankly, Wang Yong was the person with the most emotional response and objections. Basically, everyone else had some form of promotion.


    An Yanjun became the future head of orthopedic surgery, Chen Bingsheng took charge of emergency gastrointestinal surgery, Shi Na became the leader of the hospitalist group, Wang Qian and Chen Cang gained prescription rights, and Qin Yue became a research staff member plus surgical assistant.


    Chen Cang suddenly became busy, having to admit and manage patients independently, perform surgeries, and write medical records.


    Wang Yong was somewhat slack, naturally because the disparity was a bit excessive for him; becoming subordinates to peers of the same batch was unpleasant for anyone, not to mention these young men in their twenties who didn¡¯t take well to authority.


    Chen Cang had no time to console Wang Yong; the emergency department wasn¡¯t a kindergarten where you get a lollipop for comfort after crying or throwing a tantrum.


    On Wednesday afternoon, an incoming patient gave this group of newly appointed junior doctors a reality check!


    The weather was nice in August, and just as Chen Cang had stepped out of the operating room, he heard a commotion outside.


    Another patient arriving?


    Chen Cang, peering through the glass, saw a young couple stumble into the hospital, followed by a slightly over five-foot-three bald fat man drenched in sweat.


    The man supported the woman, who was clearly disoriented and lay limp in his arms, the two staggering and veering as if they were drunk.


    Upon witnessing this, Tian Xianglan at the nurse¡¯s station quickly motioned for a nurse to bring a stretcher and helped the woman onto it. At that moment, Wang Yong also hurried out to assist in wheeling the patient into the emergency room.


    Chen Cang was now no longer the inexperienced assistant he once was; facing such situations, he was to handle patients independently!


    Chen Cang said to Nurse Xiao Lin, ¡°Get her on the monitor, check her blood pressure, and heart rate.¡±


    After speaking, he touched the woman¡¯s wrist and immediately felt an icy chill. Her pulse was weak, and the palms of her hands were cold.


    The woman¡¯s eyes were tightly shut, her complexion pale, and she appeared to be in a serious condition.


    At that moment, the man who had helped the woman in grabbed the arm of the fat man and yelled, ¡°You can¡¯t leave! We became like this after eating at your place. You can¡¯t go, I¡¯ll call the police!¡±


    The man was thin and not very tall, looking honest and meek, which gave off a sense of vulnerability.


    The fat man wiped his brow, ¡°Where am I going? I¡¯m just going to use the restroom. We¡¯re already at the hospital, let go of me first!¡±


    The little man clung to the fat man¡¯s arm, his voice loud, ¡°No! No way, I can¡¯t let you go!¡±


    At this juncture, Chen Cang stepped forward and asked, ¡°Who is the family member?¡±


    The small man, dragging the fat one, came over and said, ¡°I am!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, not overthinking it, and inquired about the basic situation.


    The frail man, with tears welling up in his eyes, lamented, ¡°My wife wasn¡¯t like this before. She didn¡¯t faint, but started vomiting endlessly after having a meal at his restaurant yesterday. Then she became disoriented and slow to respond¡­ and today she even fainted¡­¡±


    The skinny man kept emphasizing the meal at the other¡¯s place, and combining all the symptoms, it seemed as though all clues were pointing towards food poisoning.


    Chen Cang frowned, pondering the cause, when Wang Yong approached. Upon seeing the patient, his eyes widened in alarm, and he started making meaningful glances at Chen Cang.


    At that moment, Chen Cang, preoccupied with contemplating the patient¡¯s condition, didn¡¯t have time to notice Wang Yong.


    Generally speaking, with an unconscious patient, one must consider several possibilities, the first being intracranial abnormalities, the second metabolic encephalopathy, and the third toxic encephalopathy.


    Let¡¯s start with the examination!


    The woman was young, perhaps in her twenties or thirties. Chen Cang asked, ¡°Does she have any medical conditions usually?¡±


    The man shook his head, ¡°No! She just became like this after waking up from sleeping, following a meal at his place!¡±


    At this time, the monitoring data was already available: HR: 120/min, BP: 96/55mmHg, SPO2: 99% (on medium-flow oxygen), RR: 32 breaths/min.


    The patient remained unconscious. Chen Cang kept pondering the cause. Was the heart rate a bit fast? Did she have hypertension?


    Before Chen Cang could speak, the man emphasized again, ¡°My wife is usually in good health, with no illness, and has a good appetite. It¡¯s just after the meal at his restaurant that she ended up like this!¡±


    Chen Cang had an idea, ¡°Xiao Lin, run a quick blood sugar check, as well as a complete blood count, liver and kidney function tests, serum electrolytes¡­ and, right, lactate and blood gas analysis. Also, give the patient oxygen and add a bottle of balanced solution!¡±


    After finishing, Chen Cang said to Wang Yong, ¡°Could you go and enter those orders, and add an urgent brain CT to rule out cerebrovascular disease? I¡¯ll continue with the physical examination.¡±


    No sooner had Chen Cang finished speaking than Wang Yong winked at him, took him by the arm, and led him out of the room.


    ¡°This person is a scam artist! I¡¯ve seen them a couple of times; this couple makes a living off scams and extortion!¡± Wang Yong cautioned.


    ¡°They came here a few days ago, and Old Chen treated them.¡±


    Chen Cang froze.


    Emergency departments are no strangers to deceitful patients who are abundant, in all shapes and forms, without regard to age and gender ¨C but their intentions are always straightforward!


    Swindling money.


    Chen Cang had encountered a mother and daughter duo: the mother feigned illness while the daughter played the dutiful role. They worked in perfect tandem, often going to small clinics for IVs, followed by sudden convulsions and loss of consciousness, prompting an emergency visit to the hospital. Once there, they neither pursued blood tests nor treatments. The daughter would negotiate with the clinic doctors until they received some compensation, after which the mother¡¯s illness would miraculously improve, and they¡¯d vanish ¨C maybe next time you¡¯d see them, they¡¯d nod and smile at you. Chen Cang preferred not to tangle with such people, nor would he cooperate. Generally, he didn¡¯t want to attract trouble, after all, he¡¯d seen a doctor get beaten up once, for merely making a suggestion, landing in the emergency room, this time as a patient.


    But-


    Chen Cang felt this woman was genuinely ill!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang urged, ¡°Hurry up with the orders, let¡¯s check it.¡±


    Wang Yong was in disbelief, ¡°Big brother, don¡¯t you understand what I¡¯m saying? He¡¯s after money, and you¡­¡±


    Chen Cang stared at Wang Yong and declared, ¡°You¡¯re a doctor, not Sherlock Holmes. Go check the patient¡¯s vitals. I suspect this is a case of non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma.¡±


    On hearing this, Wang Yong clicked his tongue, huffed discontentedly, and turned to walk away, muttering, ¡°No good deed goes unpunished.¡±


    Chen Cang sighed and shook his head, when suddenly a commotion erupted from inside.


    ps: Finally finished with the busy period. Updates will resume as normal, every day at midnight and twelve noon. Lately, I¡¯ve been overwhelmed with too many matters, causing unstable updating times. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and hope for your understanding. Thank you, everyone..

 Chapter 87 - Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Husband and Wife Were Birds of the Same Forest

    Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Husband and Wife Were Birds of the Same Forest


    Translator: 549690339


    After Chen Cang came in, he found the frail man already causing a commotion! ¡°What are you doing? Starting an examination without my signature? 1 don¡¯t have money, I¡¯m telling you!¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Don¡¯t be like this! Your wife is in great danger right now. It¡¯s a sort of poisoning symptom. We must clarify it soon; symptoms could worsen after 48 hours!¡±


    Poison identification was a passive skill, and Chen Cang did not think the woman was faking it!


    Some diseases can be feigned, while others simply cannot!


    Can you make your hands and feet feel ice-cold? Can you fake your blood pressure to 90/60?


    As a doctor, whether in internal medicine or surgery, one must have keen discernment.


    Just as Wang Yong said, the patient might be here to swindle money, true! Such a possibility cannot be excluded. However, he still had to consider that the patient¡¯s life came first.


    No matter if they are good or bad, once they are sick and lying on the emergency bed, they are likely patients.


    What¡¯s so complicated for a doctor? Just to treat the sick and save lives.


    Right or wrong, Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to judge, but whether or not someone was ill, Chen Cang had to make a good judgment; that was his responsibility.


    The scrawny man, hearing Chen Cang say his wife was in danger, suddenly rolled his eyes, stopped causing a ruckus, and, struck by a thought, simply dragged the fat man to the restroom.


    Upon entering the restroom and making sure no one was around, the thin man then told the fat man, ¡°You heard it, right? My wife is in grave danger. She doesn¡¯t have health insurance, so all the money will have to come from you.¡±


    The fat man owned a restaurant and often encountered such situations. Not wanting to trouble himself, he directly asked, ¡°How much do you want?¡±


    The thin man said, ¡°5,000 yuan! Just look at what my wife has become; the medical expenses must be at least five thousand.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t witness this transaction, but Nurse Xiaolin hurried over, holding a glucometer with a crystal clear reading!


    ¡°Blood sugar 33.3mmol/L!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    Flabbergasted!


    Indeed, it was that high!


    Now Chen Cang was even more certain, even more convinced that it was hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic coma.


    But still, he had to wait for further tests to be sure!


    Even if Wang Yong was right about the other party swindling money, and the man¡¯s behavior seemed to indicate as much, Chen Cang was still not careless.


    Now it seemed there was no mistake!


    A blood sugar of 33.3.


    Xiaolin added, ¡°Dr. Chen, this electronic glucometer can only measure up to 33.3; any amount above reads 33.3! For the exact number, we must wait for the lab¡¯s update.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately frowned and then quickly said, ¡°Add one more bottle of fluid! Where¡¯s Wang Yong? Add one more bottle of fluid per the medical order!¡±


    Wang Yong, with a tone that was clearly dismissive, retorted, ¡°What fluid!? I¡¯m telling you, last time it was also 33, who knows how much sugar they¡¯ve consumed!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s voice was firm, ¡°0.9% sodium chloride 500 milliliters, infused quickly!¡±


    Wang Yong snorted disdainfully, but despite his words, he still had to follow Chen Cang¡¯s orders.


    Soon after, Xiaolin quickly said, ¡°Dr. Chen, the CBC result is out!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°What is it?¡±


    Xiaolin replied, ¡°White blood cells 18.4, neutrophil ratio 90%, HB (hemoglobin): I35g.¡±


    Chen Cang turned around and continued, ¡°Add 250 milliliters of 0.9% sodium chloride + o.4g of levofloxacin, ivgtt!¡±


    If the previous saline was deemed inconsequential, this time the use of levofloxacin made Wang Yong feel that Chen Cang was going too far, prompting him to say, ¡°Boss, it¡¯s clear this is a scam; do you really have to do this? We have limited levofloxacin in our department. Just ask Xiaolin, this is downright fraudulence!¡±


    In the nurse station of the emergency room, three or four other nurses fell silent upon hearing Wang Yong¡¯s words.


    Indeed, everyone had seen this couple before, and each time they had come, they acted the same way.


    Turning around, Chen Cang glared at Wang Yong, ¡°I¡¯m the attending physician, I take responsibility for whatever happens to the patient. If you¡¯re not willing to follow orders, leave. Xiaolin, help me enter the order.¡±


    Wang Yong huffed coldly, got up to leave, ¡°Whoever wants to make the order, make it!¡±


    After saying that, he left!


    Xiaolin sighed and explained to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, don¡¯t be upset. Dr. Wang is actually¡­ he just has a strong sense of justice, and he can¡¯t stand these people. Once Dr. Wang called out a scammer, and as a result¡­ well, he got beaten up after his night shift! I also think that these few are here to swindle money¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang sighed, not saying much further.


    After entering the medical order and waiting less than 20 minutes, all the test results came out!


    Blood sugar 35.immol/L (the lab is more accurate than the glucometer, which maxes out at 33.3, with the electronic glucometer reading only 23.3), blood sodium i82mmol/L, blood potassium 4.95, blood chloride too, urine test: ketones 3+, urine glucose 3+.


    This was a severe complication of diabetes: hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state!


    Quickly!


    Blood gas analysis, lactate, and other tests had all come back.


    The more Chen Cang looked, the colder his heart grew.


    It was good that treatment had been timely, otherwise there would have been major issues.


    One must know that this illness is life-threatening.


    At this moment, the fat and skinny men approached, whether they had reached a favorable agreement or not, the two seemed very happy to see each other and chatted merrily.


    The fat man got up and left.


    The skinny man smoothly pushed open the door to the resuscitation room, about to enter.


    Just then, he saw Chen Cang approaching, ¡°Your wife is in critical condition, she¡¯s in the danger zone and must be hospitalized for treatment.¡±


    Instead of heeding the words, the man scoffed and patted the woman on the shoulder, ¡°Wife! Let¡¯s go, we are going home.¡±


    But-


    After several pats, the woman still did not respond in any way.


    The man was stunned, then chuckled, ¡°You rascal, falling asleep, I¡¯ll carry you home.¡±


    As he spoke, he was about to remove the IV from the woman, lift her, and leave, but Chen Cang, seeing this, quickly intervened!


    ¡°She¡¯s very dangerous right now, do not touch her.¡± Chen Cang hurried over.


    The man was taken aback, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°She is currently in a dangerous phase, suffering from hyperosmolar nonketotic hyperglycemia coma, which is critical. You¡¯re her husband, right? We need you to sign the paperwork.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man was shocked, ¡°What nonsense is this? Are you trying to scam money from me? Have you injected her with a sedative, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know!¡±


    When Chen Cang heard the man¡¯s words, he could tell that the man was a habitual offender, even employing the sedative trick!


    It¡¯s truly using the mind of a petty man to guess the heart of a gentleman ¨C one can¡¯t help but admire such twisted logic!


    Chen Cang presented the lab results, ¡°Here are her test results. You might not understand them, but let me tell you directly, her condition is very dangerous. If she leaves rashly, her life could be at risk. She needs hospital treatment right now.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the skinny man¡¯s face changed, he thought for a moment, then bolted, yelling as he ran, ¡°1 have no money, she¡¯s not my wife, we don¡¯t know each other.¡±


    His running resembled too closely¡­ ¡°love.¡±


    It also resembled life too closely!


    Everyone around was dumbstruck!


    Several young nurses couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Scumbag! Trash!¡±


    Chen Cang could only sigh helplessly.


    Perhaps, spouses are like birds in the same forest, which fly in separate ways when disaster strikes.


    At this moment, the nurses around Chen Cang were thoroughly impressed.


    In such a situation, Chen Cang¡¯s ability to discern right from wrong showed his remarkable capability.


    His demeanor and presence, especially his decisiveness and confidence in diagnosing diseases, were so similar to Director Li Baoshan!


    Perhaps, all capable people look the same.


    Seeing this, Xiaolin asked, ¡°Dr. Chen, what should we do?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Use the emergency funds for the resuscitation first, start the treatment, I¡¯ll write the orders, and you carry them out.¡±


    Xiaolin nodded, ¡°Dr. Chen, is she really not faking it?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, she¡¯s not. No one would feign this illness, it¡¯s too dangerous, a matter of life and death!¡±


    Hearing this, Xiaolin also sighed, thinking of the man who had run away, feeling sorry for the woman, yet couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Okay. Dr. Chen¡­ can this disease be fatal?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, said nothing.


    Is any disease as cruel as the human heart?


    Is any pain as merciless as the man¡¯s decisiveness when he left?


    Sigh-


    In the end, it¡¯s the human heart that tests us, not the disease.


    Half a minute later, Chen Cang efficiently issued the medical orders.


    The trickiest part of such poisoning diseases is finding the cause; once identified, it¡¯s a matter of treating the symptoms.


    Chen Cang suddenly realized how powerful the ¡°Poison Identification¡± skill he had learned from Director Li was!


    Upon seeing the patient, the logic in Chen Cang¡¯s mind was clear and discernible.


    Classifying the types of poisoning and their clinical manifestations allowed Chen Cang to directly discover the cause of the illness and devise a treatment strategy.


    Wang Yong had also disappeared somewhere. Chen Cang sighed, perhaps there were also some issues with the way he handled things. He would find time to communicate with Wang Yong..

 Chapter 88 - Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Mentor-Disciple System is About to be Activated

    Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Mentor-Disciple System is About to be Activated


    Translator: 549690339


    Two days later, the woman who had suffered from hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state nonketotic coma had woken up, and her physical condition had greatly improved. She was ready to be transferred to endocrinology for continued treatment.


    The woman¡¯s name was Cheng Fang, and she had only a few hundred yuan on her. She was an outsider who had lived in Anyang City for three years.


    Since the woman had been admitted to the hospital, the man had not visited again, and Cheng Fang had been silent throughout, from beginning to end, without saying a word about paying.


    It wasn¡¯t until she was transferred to another department that she secretly left


    the hospital.


    Because of this, Chen Cang was criticized.


    Just when everyone thought that this matter would end just like that, on Friday evening, just as they were about to get off work, Cheng Fang came back. She found Chen Cang, and in front of everyone in the office, she knelt down, kowtowed to Chen Cang, then got up and left.


    The sight left everyone in the office dumbfounded!


    It was only when Chen Cang ran after her that he learned Cheng Fang had


    already gone far away.


    The head nurse called Chen Cang to tell him that Cheng Fang had paid all of


    her medical expenses.


    Wang Yong had been somewhat distracted at work for the past two days. That evening, just as Chen Cang was about to leave, Wang Yong stopped him outright.


    ¡°Got plans tonight?¡± Wang Yong asked, scratching his head with a somewhat


    awkward expression.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Nothing much, why?¡±


    Wang Yong quickly responded, ¡°Well¡­ how about we have dinner together tonight?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°Sure.¡±


    The two didn¡¯t go anywhere fancy, just to a barbecue stall near Dama Village, where they ordered a case of beer and a pile of barbecue.


    Wang Yong filled Chen Cang¡¯s glass to the brim and said, ¡°Come on, Chen Cang, let¡¯s drink.¡±


    With a glass down the hatch and a bite of fire roasted green peppers, one felt absolutely comfortable!


    Empowered by the spiciness, Chen Cang took another sip.


    When two men drink, they either talk a lot or drink a lot.


    Wang Yong obviously had something on his mind, and after only a few drinks, he started talking more and slurred his speech.


    ¡°Cang Er, what do you think of me?¡± Wang Yong asked, staring at Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang nodded and toasted, ¡°Sunny and cheerful, ambitious and proactive. Xiao Lin said that if you had lived in ancient times, you¡¯d have been a hero, one who hated evil as if it were a personal enemy, acting chivalrous and upholding justice.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Yong chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, ¡°Bullshit! A hero, 1 am not; I¡¯m far from it. To tell you the truth, Cang Er, to pour my heart out¡ªI sometimes even envy you! I envy you to the point of jealousy!¡± ¡°We both joined the hospital at the same time, right? I thought I was doing pretty well after that, assisting the chief surgeon in operations and often participating in departmental activities. Honestly, I consider myself ambitious and proactive.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s face it, isn¡¯t it all about competition among colleagues? I¡¯ve been comparing myself with you, and now I¡¯ve realized that you are truly remarkable! It¡¯s just that you usually keep it low profile! Among our group, Cang Er, you are the most down to earth and unassuming. If it weren¡¯t for that chemical plant explosion last time, I wouldn¡¯t have known how capable you really are. Truly!¡±


    ¡°That was when I realized, without noticing, I had fallen so far behind you.¡± Chen Cang sighed, ¡°We have different personalities. I¡¯m not very sociable, and I like to read books when I have free time. You¡¯re different, Wang Yong. If you take a look outside, how many people in our hospital don¡¯t know Wang Yong?


    ¡°So don¡¯t overthink it. Put in an extra effort this time and pass your exam. We have equal pay for equal work now; the gap between contracts and official status isn¡¯t that big.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s reassurance did have some effect, and Wang Yong sighed, Ah¡­ I wish I could be like you, standing out and working in a big hospital! Make my parents proud and happy.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not as good a student as you, didn¡¯t get into graduate school. Getting a contract job in the hospital and keeping it till old age would be good enough for me. I don¡¯t even dare to dream about becoming a chief. All 1 want is to learn some skills, so 1 don¡¯t end up unemployed in the future.¡±


    ¡°When I first heard the chief was assigning me to you, I felt a fire in my belly. 1 thought about resigning, for real!¡±


    ¡°1 agree you are better than me, but how much better? How much could I learn from you? 1, Wang Yong, am upfront-I hope you don¡¯t make fun of me, this is how I truly feel.¡±


    ¡°But during this time, I¡¯ve come to realize I was being short-sighted and aspiring too high. The gap between us is just too big, not to mention anything else. Just look at the Cheng Fang incident¡ªif something had really happened to Cheng Fang in our hospital, let alone getting a permanent position, I¡¯d consider myself lucky not to get fired!¡±


    ¡°So today, I asked you to come out because I owe you an apology. Don¡¯t look down on me, really, from now on I¡¯m truly convinced by you, Cang Er. From now on, I¡¯m your subordinate doctor. 1¡¯11 listen to you. Come on, let¡¯s drink this one up!¡±


    There were nine bottles of beer, Chen Cang drank four and Wang Yong drank five. They drank too much.


    They talked too much!


    But there were more honest words.


    After drinking, some people like to boast, some like to cry, some like to speak their minds, some choose to be silent¡­


    Chen Cang liked to go pee.


    When he came back, Wang Yong had already settled the bill.


    And Chen Cang saw a question mark rising above Wang Yong¡¯s head.


    Is there a task?


    [Ding! Help Wang Yong complete his task: Successfully obtain a contract position. After completing the task, receive a reward: i: Randomly gain a skill training opportunity; 2: Level up +1; 3: Unlock the mentoring system.]


    Chen Cang was startled!


    Such generous rewards?


    Actually, Wang Yong was a good guy, even though he had his little schemes¡ªwho doesn¡¯t have their own little schemes? Who doesn¡¯t plan for their future?


    At least he was genuine, saying whatever came to mind, straightforward, which also made him easy to get along with.


    Chen Cang casually chose to accept the task.


    Tomorrow is Saturday again, and Chen Cang has to be on call at the hospital and can¡¯t go to the plastic surgery clinic. He called Zhang Zhixin to ask for a day off.


    But Zhang Zhixin told Chen Cang, ¡°Tomorrow your Sister Xiao¡¯s plastic surgery results will be revealed.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up!


    Right!


    By tomorrow, nearly a week will have passed. The healing should be almost complete, the swelling should have gone down, but the exact progress of the recovery is still uncertain.


    After hearing this, Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Take a photo for me tomorrow. ¡±


    Zhang Zhixin nodded, ¡°No problem.¡±


    After saying this, Zhang Zhixin suddenly mentioned, ¡°Chen, let me tell you something.¡±


    ¡°Our director had a talk with the doctors in our department a few days ago, about an issue with the emergency department. Director Zhang is somewhat dissatisfied with the emergency department¡¯s actions this time and has given us a mandate.¡±


    ¡°From now on, any general surgical conditions brought in by your emergency department that you guys can¡¯t handle, invite us for consultations or surgeries, they must all count as surgeries for our department, and you have to complete the transfer procedures, or else it¡¯s not acceptable.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang thought that Zhang Youfu was indeed a cunning man.


    He could say it, and he could do it!


    To come up with such a tactic, impressive indeed!


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Thankyou, Teacher Zhang. I¡¯ll come over the day after tomorrow.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin smiled, ¡°What are we, if not friends? No need to thank me! Come over the day after tomorrow.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhixin also smiled. Setting other things aside, Chen Cang¡¯s capability was already enough to pique Zhang Zhixin s interest. After all, having a top-tier designer was a significant matter for the development of their plastic surgery hospital.


    Once Xiao Tianhua¡¯s surgery results are out, he planned to chat with a few bosses, do some networking, and offer Chen Cang a lucrative collaboration contract, even stocks if possible!


    If he could tie Chen Cang to the same boat, that would be ideal..

 Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Gallstones! (Announcing Big News)

    Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Gallstones! (Announcing Big News)


    Translator: 549690339


    The day shift on Saturday is even more grueling than the night shift.


    Chen Cang arrived at the hospital early and adeptly picked up his daily tasks.


    Ding! Communicate with to patients, Task Reward: 1. Experience +100, 2. Renminbi +100.


    A better than nothing task.


    Easy to complete.


    Just by making a few ward rounds.


    The practice of medicine is inherently about communication with patients.


    Just as the saying goes, ¡°Sometimes cure, often help, always comfort.¡±


    In fact, a doctor¡¯s job is to interact with patients, communicating and treating them both mentally and physically.


    However, such comfort is far from adequate nowadays.


    The uneven distribution of medical resources, with quality medical resources concentrated in big cities and hospitals while grassroots resources are scarce, has led to a situation:


    Large hospitals are overcrowded, making it difficult to receive medical attention or even secure an appointment!


    Even if you get an appointment, after waiting an entire morning, you get 3 minutes.


    Can you receive medical care in three minutes?


    Say you can and you can, say you can¡¯t and you can¡¯t!


    Chen Cang lacks the power to change this state of affairs; he can only do his best, communicate more with his patients, and eliminate misunderstandings and suspicions, considering that most medical disputes probably stem from a lack of communication and understanding between the parties.


    While making his rounds, the patient was watching television. Chen Cang glanced at the TV unintentionally and was suddenly stunned!


    ¡°Yesterday, the police force in An Yang City arrested a gang involved in deception, extortion, and fraud. They operated in hotels, clinics, restaurants, etc., with a total of 31 members and defrauded amounts totaling up to 3.2 million yuan, with severe circumstances¡­¡±


    ¡°And this significant breakthrough was possible because a gang member, XX (alias), voluntarily cooperated with the police, leading them to the gang¡¯s stronghold and a large amount of stolen money, and assisted our city¡¯s police in solving several cases over the years¡­ efforts are being made to submit a plea for leniency for XX (alias)¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbstruck!


    Because he realized that the woman on the TV was none other than Cheng Fang!


    Although her face was pixelated, Chen Cang recognized her figure all too well.


    He never expected Cheng Fang to turn herself in!


    Nor had he anticipated that she would cooperate with the police to capture an organization that was a scourge to society!


    Is this what is meant by the greater good over kinship?


    Chen Cang did not understand why Cheng Fang would do such a thing¡ª perhaps out of guilt, or maybe as a retaliation against the man who had abandoned her.


    Seeing this, a sense of happiness stirred within Chen Cang. This was perhaps the outcome he most wanted to see.


    Our society should have order and law, as well as morality.


    Yet some people always like to walk on the knife¡¯s edge, testing the limits of law and morality.


    Is Cheng Fang a good person?


    She definitely cannot be considered a good person.


    This outcome may be a sign of conscience awakening.


    At that moment, the TV reporter was interviewing Cheng Fang. The reporter asked, ¡°Why did you decide to do this?¡±


    Cheng Fang¡¯s voice was low: ¡°Because¡­ because when everyone thought I was a swindler, there was one person who didn¡¯t think I was conning. He saved me. At that time, I realized how much wrong, how much harm 1 had done. I regret it. My actions had a severely negative impact on society, making people distrust each other¡­ 1 was wrong! After 1 am discharged, 1 will spend the rest of my life doing good, helping others¡­ If the person in front of the TV can hear this, I want to say thank you!¡±


    The reporter was also taken aback, not expecting such a turn of events: ¡°Can you tell us a bit about that person?¡±


    Cheng Fang fell silent, shaking her head; there were some things she could not carelessly disclose.


    Chen Cang smiled. Sometimes, a good deed indeed seems inconsequential.


    But when a good deed spreads, the whole world can change.


    Medicine is an art of compassion; one must possess a compassionate heart.


    It is said that those who do not approach the virtue of Buddha cannot be doctors, and those who do not approach the talent of immortals cannot be doctors either.


    Chen Cang did not possess such noble virtues and talents, but he also hoped to be a good doctor, to do more good deeds in his position.


    At that moment, the grandmother in bed 9, who was watching TV, suddenly sighed, ¡°These people should be arrested! They¡¯re like a cancer on society! Ruining the image of the entire city, I tell you, after 1 fell on the street, I lay on the ground for more than an hour unattended. In this sweltering heat, I almost passed out.¡±


    Chen Cang very much agreed with the old woman¡¯s words as people willing to voluntarily take the elderly to the hospital were becoming fewer and fewer.


    At the same time, Dr. Hu from the internal medicine department was also on rounds, and hearing the old lady¡¯s remarks, he too smiled, ¡°When I started working in ¡¯98, people were different from now. If they saw someone fall on the street, they would almost always help and take them to the hospital. But having said that, as times progress, people¡¯s hearts also need to keep up with the pace of technology.¡±


    Chen Cang greeted Dr. Hu.


    Old Hu was of medium build, with a round face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a small mouth, smiling like Guo Degang!


    But Old Hu¡¯s temper really couldn¡¯t be faulted; known in the emergency department as a real good guy, Chen Cang had never seen him lose his temper.


    Chen Cang had become the attending physician, and currently had six patients, not too many.


    Bed twelve was occupied by an old lady, over seventy years old, with wrinkles covering her face. She had worked hard in the countryside her whole life, raising three college graduates¡ªno easy feat!


    The children were all grown up, and now that she had done her part, she retired and lived out her days in the village.


    Last month, her right abdomen suffered from recurrent biliary colic. No amount of painkillers brought relief, so she finally called her eldest son in the provincial capital; hearing this, all three children rushed to send her to the Second Provincial Hospital.


    When Chen Cang entered, the old lady was very nervous as it was her first time being hospitalized.


    In the countryside, the very mention of hospitalization scared everyone, let alone being brought in by an ambulance.


    The old lady was indeed very anxious!


    She was less worried about not having many days left to live and more concerned about being diagnosed with a serious illness that would trouble her children.


    ¡°Doctor¡­ is my condition very dangerous?¡± the old woman asked cautiously in her hometown dialect.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Grandma, you¡¯re fine, it¡¯s just a little gallstone, no worries!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the old lady eagerly elongated her words, ¡°Oh my, oh my¡­ young man, don¡¯t deceive me, I¡¯ve seen a lot in my time, gallstone? With all these ailments, I¡¯m not healthy! Don¡¯t hide it from me, just tell this old woman, what exactly is my condition?¡±


    Taken aback, Chen Cang didn¡¯t immediately catch on, ¡°It really is just a stone, I¡¯m not lying to you.¡±


    After listening, the old lady sighed and shaking her head, said, ¡°Young man, I know my own body. At seventy-plus years, in the past, I¡¯d already be sitting outside at the old death¡¯s graveyard waiting to die, still healthy! Not healthy at all!¡±


    Now, Chen Cang understood!


    The grandmother had misunderstood ¡°gallstones¡± for ¡°gallbladder is healthy (S¡ê)¡±!


    He didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry.


    Just then, a patient who had just had his stitches done suddenly burst into loud laughter, causing the stitches to come undone again!


    While laughing and wailing, he exclaimed, ¡°Doctor¡­ these stitches aren¡¯t sturdy!¡±


    The other patients around, wanting to laugh but not daring to, held back their laughter with groans and cries.


    However, Chen Cang still patiently explained!


    After all, the old lady had never been educated, had spent her entire life in the countryside with little exposure to the outside world, was illiterate, and wouldn¡¯t know about anything like gallstones.


    The rounds took about an hour, and Chen Cang, being patient, also communicated with the patients in detail.


    ps: I have some news to share with everyone, I just got word that this book is scheduled to launch at noon on October 25, which is next Friday.


    This news is quite sudden, and some may be caught off guard, so 1 wanted to give you all a heads up. Once the book launches, you won¡¯t have to wait for two updates a day like now; after it goes live, we can have a burst of updates.


    Ah¡­ it¡¯s the end of the month, and everyone has used up their monthly tickets, so I won¡¯t ask for any. Let¡¯s wait and compete at the beginning of next month. I had hoped we could fight for a place on the trending list¡­ ah, now there¡¯s no chance.


    But¡­ I do hope everyone is ready to subscribe with their QiDian coins.


    Actually, updating this book is a bit more troublesome than usual. Although I am a doctor, I have to check a lot of data every day. In order not to make the medical knowledge too dry, I strive to turn professional terms into something that everyone can understand, then think of some jokes to make reading more enjoyable, including those self-composed songs, haha, even though they aren¡¯t pleasant to hear, I¡¯ve really thought about them a lot¡­


    Hehe, as long as you all enjoy reading, I¡¯m happy. 1 hope through this book, you can understand a little more about the real life of doctors.


    I sincerely hope you can support me!


    Thank you!


    October 25, don¡¯t miss out; let¡¯s all hang in there for one more week!


    Lastly, I want to thank the brother with the red lips, high heels, black eyeshadow, and the brother named ¡°Moon¡± from QQreading for their generous tips.. I promise, starting from the launch day, 1¡¯11 begin with at least 10 updates!

 Chapter 90 - Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Comrade Youfu is Going on TV

    Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Comrade Youfu is Going on TV


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Around ten o¡¯clock in the morning, the emergency medical service delivered a patient who was in his thirties. The ¡°child¡± pushing an elderly person in, shouted, ¡°Doctor, my father is having a heart attack!¡±


    Chen Cang hurried out and approached the ambulance doctor who came up and said, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be heart disease, the ECG is normal.¡±


    The man was clearly unhappy, ¡°My dad is uncomfortable here, he is feeling panicky, and there¡¯s also spreading pain around the back, coming and going in waves. If it¡¯s not heart disease then what is it? Plus, I searched on Baidu and sometimes heart disease shows a normal ECG, only during an attack will it¡­¡±


    The man rattled off a great deal, clearly implying with a tone of ¡®I¡¯m well-informed, so don¡¯t try to deceive me¡¯.


    Chen Cang stepped forward, ¡°Don¡¯t panic, let¡¯s have Xiaolin push the patient to the emergency room and hook him up to the monitor, please.


    The ambulance doctor came over, after handing over formalities with the nurse station, he gave Chen Cang a knowing look and left.


    Chen Cang understood that look, which was to warn him to be wary of this difficult family member of the patient.


    The man was in his thirties, dressed in a decent and moderate fashion, wearing glasses. Seeing Chen Cang, he said, ¡°Doctor, you must seriously consider my suggestion. Myocardial infarction is very dangerous and cannot be misdiagnosed.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave it to us. Why don¡¯t you rest at the door for a while?¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang entered the room, while the man paced back and forth at the door, very anxious.


    Xiaolin: ¡°Dr. Chen, the ECG and blood pressure are normal, but the heart rate is


    a bit fast.¡±


    Chen Cang pondered for a moment, ¡°Order a blood routine test urgently, call the ultrasound room, and expedite a bedside abdominal ultrasound.


    During the wait, Chen Cang took the opportunity to talk with the family member about the current medical history and learned that the father indeed had a history of heart disease as well as high blood pressure. One could not exclude or ignore heart issues, but¡­ all signs suggested that it was not heart disease, but rather looked more like cholecystitis.


    The ultrasound room was quick to respond. Upon hearing that an abdominal ultrasound was urgently needed in the emergency room, they arrived promptly.


    However, when the patient¡¯s relative saw the ultrasound equipment brought in, he followed without a word and then was taken aback upon seeing the preparation for an abdominal ultrasound. He immediately gestured with his hands, ¡°What are you doing? My father¡¯s heart is uncomfortable, why are you examining his stomach? If you have to do a scan, it should be of the heart! Isn¡¯t this mess? These examinations are expensive! We should do fewer if possible, right?¡±


    Chen Cang turned around and looked at the man, ¡°Please do not disturb the resuscitation of the patient. You can¡¯t just enter the emergency room at will. And¡­ it¡¯s not certain that your father¡¯s condition is heart-related. I suspect it is cholecystitis.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Gang¡¯s words, the man fell silent, went out, and started doing something on his phone, seemingly searching on Baidu.


    Meanwhile, the ultrasound results were already in!


    The gallbladder was slightly enlarged in both length and width, oval-shaped, with thickened gallbladder walls, the outline blurry, and presenting a double-ring shape with a thickness greater than 3mm;


    The echogenicity of the content within the gallbladder decreased, showing scattered, fog-like echoic spots; the enhancement effect under the gallbladder¡¯s bottom edge was weakened or absent.


    Confirmed!


    It turned out to be acute cholecystitis. The urgently ordered blood routine also came back, showing an increase in the total white blood cell count and around 80% of neutrophilic leukocytes.


    Now, there was no question of a cholecystitis diagnosis. If waiting for bilirubin and transaminase results, it would be even more direct.


    At this time, the man pushed the door open again, ¡°Doctor, you¡¯re a genius! It really is cholecystitis¡­ Baidu said that cholecystitis indeed also has radiating pain.¡±


    The man appeared somewhat embarrassed and apologized to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang smiled without saying much. It¡¯s normal for family members to worry after all, concern can lead to confusion.


    But Baidu cannot diagnose illnesses because much of the information on Baidu is not very comprehensive. A few days ago, a patient came with bleeding from the bowel, claiming it was colorectal cancer.


    Such examples are numerous.


    Furthermore, gallbladder diseases are common emergencies and prevalent, frequently seen in clinical settings. Many related conditions can be extremely uncomfortable, such as acute cholecystitis, delayed cholecystitis,


    cholelithiasis, etc.


    And crucially, when these conditions arise, they can easily be confused with myocardial infarction. It is clearly written in textbooks, describing symptoms like upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, radiating towards the shoulder and back area, and episodically worsening.


    However, diseases have a stubborn nature, and when they strike, they never listen to the textbooks they always act wilfully. Quite often, they¡¯re easily confused with heart attacks!


    Such patients are not few, and Chen Cang had grown accustomed to them. In recent days, the number of patients delivered by emergency services has increased, perhaps because the hospital had reached out to the emergency medical center.


    After the emergency room¡¯s operating theater opened, scheduling surgeries became much more convenient.


    And so, they were more confident in admitting patients.


    In the emergency room these past few days, there had been an influx of patients, and surgeries no longer needed to be conducted in the main operating rooms¡ªthey could be arranged within their own facilities. As a consequence, many patients were no longer being transferred to the general surgery department.


    With its own operating theater, the emergency room¡¯s revenue also grew substantially, as if the harsh winter had passed and spring was on the horizon. However, Director Zhang Youfu of the general surgery department felt somewhat down. According to past years, the surgery department would be overwhelmed in August and September, as this was the peak season for cholecystitis, appendicitis, and cholelithiasis. The dietary irregularities of summer make these digestive diseases much more likely to occur.


    But this year, the surgery department had suddenly become much quieter!


    After all, these acute diseases were typically brought to the surgery department via the emergency room, and now that they had fallen out with the emergency department, the number of patients in general surgery had significantly dropped.


    The Second Provincial Hospital couldn¡¯t be considered a top-level hospital that never lacked for patients; most of the cases handled by the general surgery department were minor illnesses.


    And Li Baoshan had, so to speak, directly outmaneuvered Zhang Youfu.


    Zhang Youfu was so frustrated he was practically grinding his teeth, yet he still had to figure out how to manage his department. What to do?


    Without patients, it wouldn¡¯t work!


    Zhang Youfu thought it over and picked up the phone to call Tan Liguo¡ªhe needed to report the situation.


    After hearing the situation, Tan Liguo frowned slightly, ¡°Is it that serious?¡± Zhang Youfu shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s not that severe, but¡­ if it continues like this, the department will certainly lose a lot of patients, and our performance will suffer greatly. After all, the main patient base is still sizable.¡±


    Tan Liguo considered for a moment, ¡°How about this: you take it easy for now. On Monday, 1¡¯11 call Dongyang Satellite TV¡¯s health program and organize a disease prevention event. You can then promote your department¡­ Prepare well, don¡¯t waste this opportunity.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Youfu was overjoyed this was a stroke of good fortune!


    Health programs are a great way to promote, and although it¡¯s about health education, when the time comes, a little hype for general surgery could naturally lead patients straight to their door.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble Secretary Tan!¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Zhang Youfu immediately called his confidante Duan Bo from the department, ¡°Duan, come to my house, 1 need to discuss something with you.¡±


    Duan Bo was a trusted aide of Zhang Youfu, and he had always been good to him.


    After receiving the call, Duan Bo didn¡¯t ask why and immediately made his way to Zhang Youfu¡¯s home.


    After the two sat down, Zhang Youfu spoke calmly, ¡°Duan, I might be on Dongyang Satellite TV¡¯s health channel soon. I need you to tidy up my resume and honors- my information is all with you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Duan Bo offered a flattering compliment, ¡°Director, you are remarkable! You¡¯re going to be on TV, and Dongyang Satellite TV has a high viewership, too!¡±


    Zhang Youfu smiled inscrutably, appearing indifferent about the TV appearance, ¡°Right, I haven¡¯t decided what to talk about yet. What do you think we should promote this time?¡±


    After some thought, Duan Bo seriously suggested, ¡°Naturally, it should be the most common disease of the season diseases of the gallbladder system!

 Chapter 91 - Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Truly Classic!

    Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Truly Classic!


    Translator: 549690339 I


    Could Duan Bo really become a confidante of Zhang Youfu?


    The man did have the ability!


    He could guess what his leader was thinking, and even speak words that resonated with his leader¡¯s heart.


    First of all, Zhang Youfu came from a hepatobiliary surgical background, his skills were all in the hepatobiliary system, and gallbladder diseases were the most common within the hepatobiliary system. Choosing this topic, Zhang Youfu was at his best!


    Secondly, the patient population with gallbladder diseases was large, and this season was the peak of illnesses like cholecystitis. Speaking on this topic would also be timely, attracting many in the audience.


    Finally, their department was in dire need of such patients. Since the emergency operating room was established less than a week ago, the number of patients sent to the surgical department had decreased. Talking about this could solve an urgent problem.


    So, after Duan Bo spoke, Zhang Youfu was immediately satisfied!


    He was not only satisfied with the chosen content but also more satisfied with Duan Bo.


    Zhang Youfu looked at Duan Bo with a smile and feigned confusion, ¡°Why so?¡±


    Duan Bo also pretended to be serious, ¡°Think about it, Director! Now¡­¡±


    After Duan Bo explained the reasons, Zhang Youfu suddenly laughed, ¡°You, you get me!¡±


    Duan Bo laughed along, ¡°We see eye to eye, Director, we¡¯re on the same wavelength.¡±


    After the laughter, Duan Bo handed Zhang Youfu a cigarette and lit it for him.


    Zhang Youfu took a deep drag, ¡°Ah¡­ this Li Baoshan, really remarkable, managing to take over two operating rooms for himself. Since the establishment of the operating room, the patients in our department have decreased significantly.¡±


    Duan Bo nodded, ¡°Actually¡­ Director, I might have a way to make them hand over the patients to us, to slap their own face.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Youfu¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°What way?¡±


    Duan Bo, ¡°The current emergency department is just putting on a show of strength!¡±


    Zhang Youfu frowned, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Duan Bo smiled mysteriously, ¡°Director, don¡¯t you know what the emergency department is like now? The emergency is nothing but an empty shell, mere bluster! Think about it, how many surgeons do they have in emergency surgery? They have less than nine people altogether. Li Baoshan is busy with major surgeries all day, where would he have time for gallbladder surgeries? Secondly, An Yanjun has been transferred to perform hand surgeries, can Chen Bingsheng handle so many surgeries alone?¡±


    ¡°Shi Na is now so overwhelmed with patients every day that she has no time for surgery. Besides, Shi Na¡¯s surgical skills¡­ are quite average! You don¡¯t know this, but I was her classmate in school, and she originally specialized in orthopedics, how could she perform hepatobiliary surgeries?¡±


    ¡°This way, it¡¯s just a few junior doctors, small fry. Could they handle our hepatobiliary surgeries? Gallbladder removal already carries significant risk; could they manage? Would Li Baoshan feel at ease letting them operate? This just isn¡¯t realistic!¡±


    Hearing Duan Bo¡¯s words, Zhang Youfu¡¯s eyes shone as if emitting light!


    Yeah!


    What was there to fear?


    They were just some small fry; did they really think they could make it just because they had operating rooms?


    What a joke!


    Let alone not sending them patients, even if all the patients were sent to them, could they handle it?


    When the time comes, if the patients can¡¯t get surgery and their condition is delayed, that¡¯s a serious problem. How would you deal with it, Li Baoshan, no matter how influential you are?


    Duan Bo¡¯s method was brilliant!


    It was fantastic!


    If Li Baoshan didn¡¯t want to be disciplined, he would surely have to ask our surgery department to come and operate. Wouldn¡¯t the patients still end up being sent to surgery? At that time¡­ we¡¯d have a lot of leverage, and everything would be easy to negotiate.


    Watching the ecstatic Zhang Youfu, Duan Bo suddenly said, ¡°If you ask me, Director, you still need to give him a hand!¡±


    Zhang Youfu, ¡°How so?¡±


    Duan Bo smiled mysteriously, ¡°Your clinic is quite busy on Saturdays, right? We could send a few more to the emergency department!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Youfu burst into roaring laughter.


    Saturdays on duty were busy since there weren¡¯t many people in the department. Chen Cang had to play both mother and father, write up the cases, deal with emergencies, and be ready to admit patients at any time.


    ¡°Doctor Chen! A patient has arrived!¡±


    Half an hour later, just after he got the details of the patient¡¯s condition, another urgent call came:


    ¡°Doctor Chen, this patient has gallstones and biliary colic.¡±


    Chen Cang hurriedly took care of it.


    The emergency room isn¡¯t just any ordinary inpatient ward where you can take your time.


    The condition of emergency room patients could change at any moment¡ªyou can¡¯t afford to be careless.


    By the time it was around five or six in the afternoon, Chen Cang was supposed to be off work, but the work was simply endless, as he had received 8 cases of gallbladder system diseases that afternoon.


    What¡¯s going on?


    Did heaven know that the emergency room was equipped with an operating theatre and sent a few people for the inauguration?


    It wasn¡¯t until eleven at night that Chen Cang managed to properly take care of all the patient¡¯s and then scheduled them for surgery.


    So far, the number of surgical patients was also increasing. Including the original six, there were now a total of fourteen or fifteen patients scheduled for surgery on Monday. It was impossible to fit all of them into one day¡¯s schedule.


    After work, Chen Cang was so exhausted that he went straight to sleep, not caring about anything else.


    Upon waking up at seven o¡¯clock, he hurriedly got ready and went to Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital. After Zhang Zhixin looked over the patient yesterday, today the swelling would be completely gone, and Chen Cang also wanted to see the actual results of the surgery.


    Xiao Tianhua¡¯s facial recovery was nearly trouble-free, with the swelling down. Zhang Zhixin had also arrived at the hospital early to jointly witness this glorious moment.


    Honestly, Zhang Zhixin wasn¡¯t confident; after all, who could guarantee the postoperative outcome?


    Around eight o¡¯clock, Yang Tao and Qin Xiang came in as well. Honestly, they were both very excited to see what Xiao Tianhua would ultimately look like.


    After all, a design is just a design, similar to a concept drawing, but no one can guarantee how it will translate into reality.


    It¡¯s like the difference between a buyer¡¯s show and a seller¡¯s show, always separated by a dimension.


    The four of them, filled with anticipation, went to Xiao Tianhua¡¯s room, which was a private VIP ward cared for by specialized nurses and aides, ensuring the best possible recovery for her eyes, as Xiao Tianhua had been staying in the hospital these days.


    Xiao Tianhua: ¡°I¡¯m a bit nervous.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin thought to himself, you¡¯re nervous, I¡¯m even more nervous¡­ After all¡­ manure in your home doesn¡¯t cost a thing¡­


    Chen Cang: ¡°Let¡¯s unveil it, it should be mostly healed by now.¡±


    Yang Tao and Qin Xiang silently followed behind, waiting for the miraculous moment to come!


    You must know, plastic surgery is like this, every time you remove the gauze it¡¯s like uncovering the veil of a bride in ancient times, filled with excitement and surprise.


    Of course, there are occasional scares.


    As the bandage was slowly removed until nothing was left on the face, suddenly a clean face appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes!


    When everyone saw this face, they couldn¡¯t help but be startled in their hearts!


    Was it because she was so beautiful?


    Of course not!


    The biggest shock was not the beauty.


    What was shocking was the comparison between before and after the surgery!


    !!!


    Everyone present had participated in Xiao Tianhua¡¯s surgery, so they were extremely familiar with her original face. However, compared to before, the face they now saw had undergone an earth-shattering change!


    Zhang Zhixin was so excited he couldn¡¯t speak clearly!


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­it¡¯s brilliant! A masterpiece! An absolute classic!¡±


    Hearing this, Xiao Tianhua was itching with anticipation, caring about nothing else, she eagerly demanded a mirror: ¡°Give me the mirror!¡±


    ps: Ahem, I¡¯m a little excited. The book has its first Sect Leader, an old friend ¡°Unwilling to Progress, Only Thinking of You,¡± who has donated fifty thousand Qidian coins before and after, for which I am truly grateful. After going live, I¡¯ll try to update more, conservatively planning on eleven chapters for the first day, but who knows, maybe I can update even more depending on the situation..

 Chapter 92 - Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Mission Accomplished

    Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Mission Accomplished


    Translator: 549690339 I


    Xiao Tianhua had braced herself for all kinds of psychological outcomes!


    When the nurse handed her the mirror, she hesitated for a few seconds, and in those seconds, many thoughts crossed her mind. Good thoughts brought her to the high praise of the brand; bad thoughts brought her to wonder if her family¡¯s manure stock was sufficient.


    But when she mustered the courage to look at the familiar yet strange woman in the mirror, all her thoughts disappeared.


    At that moment, her mind was a blank.


    Gradually, tears began to fall unconsciously from the corners of her eyes.


    She shakily raised her hand, saw herself in the mirror and gently touched her face, fearing that all of this was just a fantasy or a dream.


    She feared that this beautiful moment might vanish if she wasn¡¯t careful enough¡­


    However¡­ those two tears, like grenades, directly hit Zhang Zhixin¡¯s heart and really scared him.


    Is she still not satisfied?


    If you¡¯re not satisfied with this, then it¡¯s really not our problem. It must be because your house has too much pig manure and you don¡¯t know where to put it, so you come to pick a fight with me.


    Chen Cang asked with a smile, ¡°Sister Xiao, are you satisfied?¡±


    Xiao Tianhua wiped the tears from her face, smiled at Chen Cang and kept nodding. ¡°Satisfied! Very satisfied! Extremely satisfied!¡±


    ¡°Xiao Chen, thank you, you¡¯re like¡­ my reborn parents!¡±


    Well, Xiao Tianhua¡¯s level of education was limited; she really couldn¡¯t think of any more sophisticated phrases.


    The term ¡°reborn parents¡± not only raised Chen Cang¡¯s status by a rank but also expressed the joy and excitement in Xiao Tianhua¡¯s heart at that moment.


    [Ding! You have met Xiao Tianhua¡¯s expectations and helped her obtain a satisfying face. Task completion score: 60 points.]


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was momentarily stunned. Just 60 points?


    What the heck?


    Is it that low?


    You¡¯re giving me 60 points for being compared to reborn parents!


    But upon closer analysis, Chen Cang realized that maybe the score wasn¡¯t too low because he had not participated in the surgery, only in the design. Indeed, there was still some gap from perfectly resolving the matter.


    If he had performed the surgery from start to finish, including the design, the score might have been very high!


    [Task Completion Reward: 1: Xiao Tianhua¡¯s trust, favorability +50; 2: Acquisition of the Inner and Outer Canthus Micro-adjustment Technique (Advanced). I


    [Inner and Outer Canthus Micro-adjustment Technique, Advanced, Special Effect: Natural (makes your inner and outer canthus adjustments appear innate, effortlessly natural, with no signs of alteration).]


    Chen Cang looked at the task reward and furrowed his brow slightly.


    He really didn¡¯t know what use these 50 favorability points had.


    What¡¯s the use of favorability anyway!


    Plus, isn¡¯t this increase in favorability a bit too much?


    A whole fifty points at once¡­ It really made him feel somewhat apprehensive and uneasy.


    Chen Cang was truly conflicted.


    The second reward was alright, the Inner and Outer Canthus


    Micro-adjustment Technique, an advanced skill with a natural special effect, was indeed a decent skill!


    This was his second presentable skill in the cosmetic industry.


    Together with the first one, the Advanced Incisional Upper Blepharoplasty, he could definitely hold his ground in eyelid surgeries.


    He¡¯d study it thoroughly when he returned!


    Zhang Zhixin, seeing Xiao Tianhua so satisfied, naturally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn¡¯t scared to tears by herself, it¡¯s all good¡­ scared the living daylights out of me¡­


    ¡°So, does President Xiao feel satisfied?¡± Zhang Zhixin continued to ask.


    Xiao Tianhua nodded, turned to Zhang Zhixin and said, ¡°Satisfied! Dr. Zhang, you¡¯ve worked hard this time. 1 am very satisfied, as are the other doctors involved in the surgery.¡±


    After speaking, Xiao Tianhua picked up the phone and summoned a man to enter, ¡°Hello, President Xiao.¡±


    Xiao Tianhua nodded, ¡°Give it to me.¡±


    The man handed over a bag, and with a wave of Xiao Tianhua¡¯s hand, he left.


    Xiao Tianhua looked at the crowd and took out a box the size of a mobile phone case, handing them one by one to Zhang Zhixin, Yang Tao, Qin Xiang, and Chen Cang.


    ¡°This is a token of appreciation, don¡¯t refuse it. I¡¯m very satisfied with today¡¯s surgery, consider this a token of my gratitude for your hard work.¡±


    Then, Xiao Tianhua took out a card and handed it to Zhang Zhixin, ¡°President Zhang, let¡¯s settle the fees for this time according to the last time¡¯s standards, calculate how much it is, and let¡¯s go settle the bill.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin hurriedly waved his hand, ¡°President Xiao, this time it¡¯s on us. Last time, due to our mistake, we caused you a lot of inconvenience, and I deeply apologize.¡±


    Xiao Tianhua shook her head, ¡°Let¡¯s keep things separate; I¡¯ve also settled the score from last time.¡±


    ¡°This time is different. Let¡¯s go settle the bill.¡±


    After the two left, Chen Cang and the trio of Yang Tao and Qin Xiang looked at the heavy objects in their hands, realizing they seemed to be worth tens of thousands of yuan.


    They didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or to cry.


    Originally, the two of them wanted to help Chen Cang out, but they ended up making some extra money instead.


    [Ding! Successfully helped Zhang Zhixin resolve a difficult situation; Task rating: 80 points.]


    [Task completion rewards: 1. Zhang Zhixin¡¯s Favorability +20; 2. Obtain one Expert Guidance Card (10 days). 3. Triple Experience Pill*5;]


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes widened!


    That was quite a haul!


    [Expert Guidance Card: After use, it automatically regulates your behavior, highlighting deficiencies. ]


    [Triple Experience Pill: After use, automatically acquire triple experience effects for the next 10 hours (including skill experience + regular experience).] Two consumables!


    But they looked like enticing rewards.


    Indeed, there was a big difference between a completion grade of 60 and 80.


    Yang Tao and Qin Xiang looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, your design skills are truly exceptional!¡±


    Chen Cang offered a modest smile.


    Yang Tao stared at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, I also own a cosmetic surgery hospital, called Xiya Cosmetic Surgery. I would like to invite you over as a guest expert. What do you think?¡±


    After listening, Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°Director Yang, you flatter me too much. There¡¯s no need for a guest expert title. If there¡¯s anything you need me for, just give me a call.¡±


    Interactions between people are all about give and take; having more friends opens more paths, and Chen Cang naturally could not think of a reason to refuse.


    Furthermore, Yang Tao had helped Chen Cang a great deal this time, allowing him to complete the task.


    Hearing this, Yang Tao¡¯s eyes brightened, and he quickly said with a smile, ¡°No problem, then it¡¯s settled. Don¡¯t worry about the treatment, I most certainly won¡¯t shortchange you, Chen. We ll pay the design fee at thirty percent of the cosmetic surgery costs, how does that sound?¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang was stunned. Just for the design, to receive thirty percent?


    Wasn¡¯t that a bit exaggerated?


    Seeing this, Qin Xiang chuckled, ¡°Chen, don¡¯t be shy. This price isn¡¯t high at all. Do you know how much the famous domestic micro-adjustment designers charge? Take a certain celebrity, for instance, the cosmetic surgery cost 1.3 million, and the design fee alone was 800,000. Because you don¡¯t have a plastic surgery license, too high of a percentage might seem a bit ostentatious.¡±


    ¡°Tell you what, I¡¯m the president of the Plastic Surgery Association of Dongyang Province, and at the end of September, there¡¯s a plastic surgery industry meeting in South Korea, with surgical demonstrations. I¡¯ll take you with me and help you earn a certification.¡±


    Qin Xiang was determined to pull Chen Cang into the Plastic Surgeons Association of Dongyang!


    And regarding medical aesthetics certifications, how should one say it? Hard but not hard, easy but not easy, plus with Chen Cang holding a clinical practice physician license and Qin Xiang¡¯s assistance, obtaining another certificate was really no big deal.


    Especially since the medical aesthetics industry is currently murky, with small, unlicensed workshops everywhere, many without practicing physician¡¯s licenses are doing it.


    ps: Thanks to the old friend ¡°Red Lips, High Heels, Black Eyeshadow¡± for the grand reward, becoming the book¡¯s protector! Thank you! Twelve updates for the launch day!

 Chapter 93 - Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Duan Bos Reverse Psychology

    Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Duan Bo¡¯s Reverse Psychology


    Translator: 549690339 |


    In the afternoon, a phone call summoned Chen Cang to the Emergency Department of the Provincial Second Hospital.


    Shi Na was on the day shift on Sunday, and when she did the rounds today, she suddenly discovered that there were more than twenty patients in the entire Emergency Department in need of gallbladder surgery, some with very clear indications for surgery that couldn¡¯t be delayed much longer.


    This caught Shi Na completely off guard!


    No one knew better than she the situation in the Emergency Department.


    It could hardly accommodate so many cholecystectomy patients. Not to mention whether there were enough beds, since ordinary patients, if treated with laparoscopy, could generally be discharged the next day. But there was a serious issue to consider!


    That was: who could perform the surgeries?


    Who in the Emergency Department could perform cholecystectomy?


    In Shi Na¡¯s memory, there was only Chen Cang!


    Could Chen Cang handle it all by himself?


    More than forty people-Chen Cang, even if made of iron, would still need rest, wouldn¡¯t he?


    Besides, a single cholecystectomy would take at least an hour or two, he couldn¡¯t complete them all without rest.


    If the delays were too long and they missed the optimal window for treatment, resulting in a deterioration of the patients¡¯ conditions, who could bear such responsibility?


    Thinking of this, Shi Na became anxious.


    The operating room had just been set up; it couldn¡¯t withstand such a disturbance.


    Fortunately, they had discovered this early, otherwise, if an issue arose when work resumed on Monday, the responsibility would be enormous.


    It was only after asking the nurse that Shi Na found out Chen Cang had admitted many cholecystectomy patients yesterday.


    Therefore, Shi Na immediately phoned Chen Cang¡¯s mobile, calling him back to the Emergency Department.


    Thinking there was some emergency, Chen Cang rushed in, panting and asked anxiously, ¡°Teacher Shi, what¡¯s happened!¡±


    Shi Na sat in the office, looking at Chen Cang, ¡°Did you admit yesterday s patients?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°What patients?¡±


    Shi Na picked up the registration list from the nursing station, ¡°Take a look, are these the patients you admitted?¡±


    Chen Cang took it and immediately frowned, ¡°Why are there so many?


    ¡°I admitted six patients for gallbladder surgery yesterday, and together with the ones we already had, that made a total of just over ten, didn¡¯t it? But¡­ how come there are nearly thirty on the list!¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly realized something was amiss.


    If there were a dozen patients, scheduling eight surgeries a day, they could resolve it in two days.


    But now what?


    Nearly thirty patients, all needing surgery, especially some whose surgical window couldn¡¯t be delayed, if the surgeries couldn¡¯t be completed on time, it was certain to cause problems.


    Shi Na frowned, ¡°Are you saying? There weren¡¯t this many patients yesterday?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded!


    Shi Na took a look at the duty roster, and last night¡¯s surgical duty was Yuan


    Fan.


    With this in mind, she picked up the phone and dialed Yuan Fan¡¯s number.


    The phone rang several times before it was picked up, ¡°Hello? Teacher Shi?¡±


    Shi Na cut straight to the chase, ¡°How many patients with gallbladder issues did you admit yesterday?¡±


    The other party didn¡¯t hesitate, ¡°Hmm, 1 was on duty last night, and it turns out I got a bunch of gallbladder patients. I even wondered if there was a problem with the barbecue stand last night. What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Shi Na was somewhat angry, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see there were already more than a dozen patients needing surgery in the department? With you admitting them like this, we simply can¡¯t keep up. If the surgery time is extended, won¡¯t that cause problems?¡±


    Yuan Fan was taken aback, ¡°Teacher Shi, aren¡¯t we just a transfer station? When the time comes, we just hand the patients over to the surgical department, right? Hasn¡¯t it always been like this?¡±


    These words infuriated Shi Na so much that she hung up the phone.


    What relation does the surgical department have with the Emergency


    Department now?


    Anyone with clear eyes can see it!


    A surgical consultation request?


    Isn¡¯t this blatantly looking for trouble?


    But now, if we don¡¯t ask, there¡¯s no other way, the patient¡¯s life can¡¯t be delayed. What if taking too long leads to some major issue, who would be responsible?


    Shi Na sat there in deep thought for a long time before suddenly standing up and saying to Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, go call general surgery and see who¡¯s on duty today, have them come down for a consultation.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, picked up the phone and called the surgery department. The call was quickly connected: ¡°Hello, general surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Hello, I¡¯m from the emergency department. We have a patient who needs surgical assistance for a consultation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Duan Bo immediately offered a slight smile, his response was quite prompt, wasn¡¯t it?


    Did he discover that so quickly?


    But still¡­ Duan Bo said, ¡°Okay, wait a moment, I¡¯ll be right down.¡±


    The required consultation still had to proceed. It was hospital policy, and if you don¡¯t show up, you¡¯d be responsible.


    After hanging up the phone, Duan Bo headed downstairs.


    After coming down, Shi Na saw it was Duan Bo and her expression changed slightly. She spoke seriously and earnestly, ¡°Doctor Duan, hello, today we¡¯ve received a few patients. Please take a look and see what their conditions are like.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Chen, grab the medical records. Doctor Duan, this way please.¡±


    Chen Cang picked up the medical record file and followed behind.


    Duan Bo was also very earnest, surprisingly not looking for faults but instead being very patient. After carefully analyzing the cases, he said to the patient: ¡°You have acute cholecystitis. I¡¯m worried that if it continues to drag on, it might become purulent. You need surgery!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the patient quickly nodded: ¡°Yes! Doctor, please do me a favor and schedule my surgery ahead of time!¡±


    Duan Bo smiled and reassured, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the emergency department has two operating rooms. Arranging surgery is not a problem at all, but¡­ we can¡¯t delay. The sooner the better, as the difficulty of the surgery will greatly increase if it gets purulent!¡±


    Hearing this, the patient immediately felt much more at ease, knowing that they had two operating rooms.


    But then, the nervousness set in again¡­ They needed to get surgery as soon as possible!


    He had to speak with the doctor about this. If¡­ if the condition was delayed, it would be such a serious matter!


    After making the rounds, Duan Bo was very serious and responsible, explaining the patients¡¯ conditions with patience and attention to detail.


    He was essentially forthcoming, telling the whole truth.


    After seeing several patients, Duan Bo smiled at Shi Na, ¡°Doctor Shi, with so many patients, you have even more than our general surgery department. I heard that Doctor Shi has become a team leader, congratulations!¡±


    With a forced smile, Shi Na nodded, ¡°1 can¡¯t compare to Doctor Duan. Oh, you will soon be a deputy director, right? Afterward, we will have to call you


    Director Duan.¡±


    Duan Bo was very enthusiastic, anyone uninformed would think they were very good friends!


    Duan Bo quickly waved his hand, ¡°Our general surgery department has a relatively limited variety of diseases, unlike emergency, which has many types of diseases and many critical cases. Without real skill, you can¡¯t handle such complex tasks.¡±


    ¡°This must be Chen Cang, Doctor Chen, right? You are really dedicated, working even on weekends!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled: ¡°Hello, Doctor Duan.¡±


    Duan Bo nodded: ¡°Hmm, I heard about you last time. If you can beat our department¡¯s Xiao Zhou in surgery, you must have real talent. Impressive, younger generations can be daunting! In this day and age, to be appointed a permanent post at the provincial second hospital just after graduating with a bachelor¡¯s degree, you are quite remarkable.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°It was luck, 1 just happened to be available for an appendectomy. If it were any other surgery, I certainly couldn¡¯t compete with Doctor Zhou, after all, everyone has their specialities!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s response was water-tight, not giving Duan Bo any leverage, yet what he heard was a different message altogether.


    Chen Cang¡¯s experience was insufficient, his skills too singular!


    After all, according to his information, in Chen Cang¡¯s more than two years in the emergency department, he was mostly writing medical records, with surgery being just the occasional role of suturing and knotting. Only this year had he begun to engage in appendectomy procedures, with little experience in other surgeries.


    Suddenly, Duan Bo smiled and said, ¡°Young people need to get their hands moving, to learn more. The emergency department is the best platform, with many patients. You¡¯ve got to try more, surgery isn¡¯t that simple, practice a few times and you¡¯ll get it.¡±


    ¡°As a surgeon, you¡¯ve got to be bold! Doctor Chen, keep it up, I¡¯m rooting for you!¡±

 Chapter 94 - Chapter 94: Chapter 94:1 Can Do It!

    Chapter 94: Chapter 94:1 Can Do It!


    Translator 549690339 |


    Duan Bo really knows how to speak, making it impossible to find fault!


    The key thing is, he always hits the point!


    What are young people most afraid of?


    Instigating trouble!


    Give them a bit of sunshine and they want to shine, give them a bit of flood and


    they wish to overflow.


    What is Duan Bo trying to do?


    Stir things up, of course!


    Right now, the emergency department is swamped with patients. Surely the senior doctors are short-handed, and the junior doctors aren¡¯t very skilled at this surgery. Chen Cang, green as he is, fearless like a calf facing a tiger, with a little encouragement will surely be eager to try.


    Laypeople might not understand, but insiders all know.


    The appendix and gallbladder are different.


    How many complications arise each year from gallbladder removal surgery?


    A slight lapse resulting in bile leakage during surgery is enough to cause a crisis in the emergency room.


    By then, no matter how many people you have, it¡¯s no good. They can¡¯t protect you!


    Having said his piece, Duan Bo was ready to leave. He stood up and said to Shi Na, ¡°Dr. Shi, there¡¯s still a lot to do in the department, I have to go. Dr. Chen, keep up the good work! I have high hopes for you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Shi Na quickly stood up, ¡°Wait, Dr. Duan.¡±


    Duan Bo turned around, ¡°What is it?¡±


    Shi Na organized her thoughts, ¡°The emergency department has limited beds, and the number of doctors is limited too. Normally, after the patients are triaged in emergency, they should be sent to their respective specialties, and patients with specific conditions should go to the relevant departments for treatment. I¡¯m thinking of transferring those patients you rounded on earlier to general surgery, since you¡¯re more specialized!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Duan Bo frowned, ¡°Well¡­it¡¯s not that it can¡¯t be done. In theory, that¡¯s how it should be done, but our department¡¯s beds are all full, and surgeries are fully booked. If these patients go there, there¡¯s no way to schedule their surgeries either! And if we don¡¯t arrange surgery in the short term, their conditions might change. I really can¡¯t take on that responsibility! So¡­ I¡¯m really unable to help!¡±


    At these words, Shi Na¡¯s face turned pale.


    Duan Bo¡¯s statement effectively left her with no way out!


    ¡°What if¡­ Dr. Duan, we have an operating room we can spare. Could you see how many surgeons from general surgery can come over to operate? We in the emergency department will cooperate fully, what do you say?


    Shi Na was already trying her best to find a solution.


    But Duan Bo sighed, ¡°WelL-I¡¯m on duty, and I can¡¯t leave. As for other doctors¡­it¡¯s also difficult for me to contact them. How about this, Dr. Shi, I¡¯ll send you their phone numbers and you can contact them, okay?¡±


    And with that, Duan Bo enthusiastically sent the general surgery doctors¡¯ phone numbers to Shi Na¡¯s WeChat.


    After Duan Bo left, Shi Na reluctantly dialed the numbers one by one, and without exception, everyone was busy with something!


    This was unacceptable!


    Suddenly, Shi Na became frantic.


    What about getting doctors from another hospital to perform the surgeries?


    No!


    As soon as the idea surfaced, Shi Na dismissed it, knowing it would only complicate matters further.


    Maybe call the ambulance service to transfer the patients? Wouldn¡¯t transferring patients at this time invite scolding from their families?!


    That no longer mattered.


    Being scolded was the least of the concerns.


    After all, the health of the patients was more important than anything else. If something went wrong, it would affect the whole emergency department, all the doctors.


    With that in mind, Shi Na turned to Chen Cang and said, ¡°Chen, get ready to talk to the patients¡¯ families, to have them¡­ contact the ambulance or transfer to another hospital.¡±


    As soon as she said this, Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°This¡­ Dr. Shi, don¡¯t we have a spare operating room? We can do it ourselves! Plus, the patients are already here, why call an ambulance for a transfer? It would be embarrassing if word got out¡­¡±


    Shi Na¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Today there are 6 patients needing surgery, and tomorrow we need to schedule even more, a dozen or so. What are you going to do? Who¡¯s going to do it!¡±


    ¡°The operating room is available, yes, but do you have a doctor to perform the surgery? Only Director Li and Old Chen in our department can do it. Director Li has a meeting today, and Old Chen is not here, so who will do it? You go do it!¡± ¡°Furthermore, now is not the time to worry about losing face. Patient safety is the paramount concern. No matter what, we must ensure the life and health safety of the patient and not let anything go wrong. This isn¡¯t about not making mistakes, it¡¯s a matter of principle!¡±


    Shi Na was very determined that if the surgery couldn¡¯t be performed, they had to transfer the patient immediately to ensure the patient¡¯s health.


    As for losing face or anything else?


    Does that matter in front of a patient¡¯s health?


    Hearing Shi Na¡¯s decisiveness,


    Chen Cang looked up, resolute, and said, ¡°Right! I¡¯ll do it! I can do it!¡±


    Shi Na laughed out of exasperation at Chen Cang!


    ¡°Haha, Young Chen, have you forgotten who you are after a few words of incitement from Duan Bo?¡±


    As she spoke, Shi Na got up to check the door and closed it: ¡°Young Chen, let me tell you, don¡¯t think that Duan Bo is any good,¡±


    ¡°His words earlier weren¡¯t praising you, they were harming you!¡± ¡°Removal of the gallbladder and appendectomy are two entirely different surgeries, with much more difficulty in the former. This is because after gallbladder disease, the Calot¡¯s triangle is severely adhered, making separation difficult, plus the surgery requires high precision. Without sufficient experience and steady hands, it¡¯s easy for surgical accidents to occur.¡± ¡°Treatment of post-cholecystectomy syndrome is even more troublesome than the gallbladder removal itself. To put it bluntly, a surgery might cost 10,000 yuan, but treating complications afterward might cost a hundred thousand!¡± ¡°If you damage the bile duct or cause bile leakage into the abdominal cavity, that¡¯s biliary peritonitis. If you damage the hepatic artery, it¡¯s severe bleeding! Don¡¯t you remember the patient from surgery last year? It was supposed to be a simple cholecystolithiasis, which would have been fine after removal, but instead, bile leaked, leading to widespread peritonitis, resulting in a hospital stay of two months. Aside from the cost, the patient took the surgeon to court after being discharged.¡±


    ¡°Duan Bo is clearly taking advantage of your youthful zeal, trying to provoke you into rash action!¡±


    Shi Na became more agitated as she spoke, having not a shred of a good impression of Duan Bo.


    Others might not understand him, but Shi Na knew Duan Bo very well. They were classmates during their master¡¯s and bachelor¡¯s studies. She knew Duan Bo was full of malice inside, and moreover, he was Zhang Youfu¡¯s loyal lapdog!


    How could he have good intentions?


    Shi Na was saying all this for Chen Gang¡¯s sake as well, not wanting him to be used as a pawn at such a young age.


    Chen Cang understood that Shi Na was afraid he might get into trouble, but he was indeed capable of performing the surgery, not only capable but also proficient!


    ¡°Teacher Shi, I understand what you¡¯re saying, but¡­ I really am skilled in cholecystectomy! And¡­ I¡¯m very good at it.¡±


    Hearing Chen Gang¡¯s words, Shi Na turned around. She had a good impression of Chen Cang, a young man who was grounded and not one to bluff. Seeing his repeated emphasis on his abilities¡­


    Could he really do it?


    If it were Wang Yong saying this, Shi Na would be 90% inclined not to believe it!


    Seeing Chen Gang¡¯s certainty, she hesitated: ¡°Chen Cang, you do understand this is no joke, right? This concerns a patient¡¯s life and health. We can¡¯t afford the slightest mistake.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Teacher Shi, I am well aware! I would never joke about my career, let alone with a patient¡¯s life.¡±


    Shi Na was not an indecisive girl. As the lead of the emergency surgery team, she had to be decisive at this moment!


    After a moment¡¯s thought, Shi Na said, ¡°Get ready, prepare for surgery!¡¯


    Upon hearing this, Chen Gang¡¯s face brightened, and he immediately nodded. Today there were six people in need of surgery, and Chen Cang surely couldn¡¯t handle it alone; he needed an assistant!


    With this thought, Chen Cang dialed Wang Yong¡¯s number: ¡°There are a few surgeries this afternoon, do you have time?¡±


    Wang Yong was currently aiming a 98K at the enemy¡¯s head, lining up a shot that would most likely make the loot from the airdrop he had just picked up his own. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Chen Gang¡¯s call came in. ¡°Surgery? What surgery!¡± Wang Yong sat up promptly and asked eagerly.


    What he needed most right now was the opportunity to operate. With an exam coming up, every surgery counted.


    Chen Cang: ¡°Cholecystectomy!¡±


    Wang Yong was taken aback.


    Chen Cang could actually perform such an impressive surgery?

    Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Teacher Shi, don¡¯t be nervous!


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Chen Cang thought about it and then called Qin Yue, his little brown-noser.


    After all, it was a pleasant thing to have someone good-looking and boastfully cheering for oneself as ¡°awesome¡± during surgery.


    Of course, Qin Yue was a genuine Xiangya graduate student, so the level was somewhat there.


    Having only Wang Yong-


    Boring, dull!


    Actually, could Chen Cang do it alone?


    He could!


    But thinking about how Wang Yong was an important clue to activate the mentor-student task, Chen Cang still wanted to give him a chance to train and guide him.


    As for Qin Yue-


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t think it was merely boring, he wasn¡¯t that idle and pain-stricken.


    The main reason was that Qin Yue was currently engaged in surgical research work, and Chen Cang reckoned that communicating more with Qin Yue to summarize his surgical experience might yield a research paper.


    The operating room was ready, the first patient wasn¡¯t too troublesome, just a regular case of cholelithiasis, with the ultrasound showing an enlarged gallbladder!


    Because she didn¡¯t feel reassured, Shi Na decided to follow Chen Cang into surgery, while Qin Yue came early to take Shi Na¡¯s duty.


    Full of curiosity, Qin Yue arrived at the office to find that Shi Na had already followed Chen Cang into the operating room.


    Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but ask the duty nurse, ¡°What surgery is Chen Cang performing?¡±


    The nurse was stunned for a moment, ¡°It should be a cholecystectomy, 1 think


    it was case number 12 just before.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue scampered to the office, logged onto the computer, and opened the medical record for bed 12.


    Preoperative records, all set!


    Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.


    Preoperative diagnosis:


    Cholelithiasis.


    Significant enlargement of the gallbladder.


    Chen Cang is performing a cholecystectomy?


    What the?


    For real?


    At this moment, Wang Yong also rushed in hastily, seeing Qin Yue sitting in the office with a puzzled expression on his face.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Chen Cang?¡± gasped Wang Yong.


    Qin Yue: ¡°He¡¯s gone to surgery with Teacher Shi, why are you here?


    Wang Yong sighed helplessly: ¡°I am now Chen Big Boss¡¯s little follower. When


    Chen Big Boss calls, don¡¯t 1 have to scurry over here?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue burst into giggles.


    Wang Yong glared at Qin Yue, ¡°You¡¯re laughing at me, but aren¡¯t you the same?


    Also a follower of Chen Cang, mind you.¡±


    That comment made Qin Yue so mad her chest puffed up a cup size!


    Wang Yong chuckled, ¡°See, 1 told you, you look much prettier when you¡¯re


    angry than when you¡¯re laughing.¡±


    Qin Yue was so infuriated, she wanted to hit someone!


    Wang Yong couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What surgery is Chen Cang doing? He didn¡¯t make it clear on the phone.¡±


    Qin Yue replied irritably, ¡°Look for yourself!¡±


    After Wang Yong read it, he was suddenly stunned, ¡°Oh my dear, a cholecystectomy? Chen Cang can do that too? He must be doing it with Teacher Shi, right?¡±


    Qin Yue shook her head, ¡°Teacher Shi is an orthopedic doctor, for goodness¡¯ sake! She never performs gallbladder surgeries. I¡¯ve been following her for so long and have never seen her do one.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Yong¡¯s eyes widened in shock, ¡°Then you mean¡­


    Teacher Shi is assisting Chen Cang? Chen Cang is the main surgeon?


    Qin Yue also suddenly realized, and her already large eyes widened again like a cartoon character: ¡°Is Chen Cang that amazing?¡±


    Suddenly, both of their gossiping hearts were stirred.


    Inside the operating room, the anesthetist had already administered general anesthesia to the patient.


    The cholecystectomy was more troublesome, took a long time, and it was a laparoscopic cholecystectomy at that.


    Truth be told, Shi Na was feeling a little panicky and short of breath, as she wasn¡¯t very familiar with this surgery, and it naturally made her nervous!


    After all, surgery wasn¡¯t like slaughtering a pig, where you could just kill it and be done; surgery was about saving lives, and there was no room for negligence.


    Standing inside the operating room, Shi Na looked at Chen Cang with some concern.


    Why does the operating room feel so cramped today?


    In short, Shi Na just felt uncomfortable!


    Seeing this, Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°Teacher Shi, don¡¯t be nervous.¡± Shi Na¡¯s face immediately flushed red. Who said I¡¯m nervous? Nonsense!


    Besides, it¡¯s my first time. Who wouldn¡¯t be nervous? I, a distinguished orthopedic surgeon, am here to watch you perform a gallbladder surgery. It would be strange not to be nervous!


    Shi Na adjusted her status and said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡± Conventional disinfection of the skin of the surgical field, sterile drapes were laid, the trocar sleeve¡­


    Next up, time to inflate the abdomen!


    Laparoscopic surgery requires insufflation to lift the abdominal wall for a better view of the surgical field and to facilitate the surgery. Everyone should still remember the insufflation anthem, so there¡¯s no need to sing it here.


    Chen Cang made a 1.5cm arcuate incision at the umbilicus and, through the incision, inserted the veress needle into the abdominal cavity to start insufflating with carbon dioxide.


    Inflating requires the right amount of force. As the saying goes, ¡°practice makes perfect.¡± When the indicated pressure reached 13 millimeters of water column, pneumoperitoneum was successfully established!


    After removing the veress needle, he inserted a 10mm trocar at this puncture point to manipulate the internal organs through the auxiliary port. At this time, the surgical field was fully exposed, and the organs inside the abdomen began to appear on the monitor!


    1 Liver) Green, no abnormalities detected.


    (Peritoneum] Green, no signs of infection or exudate.


    (Stomach] Green, normal.


    When the red (Gallbladder] appeared, some information flashed through Chen Cang¡¯s mind.


    [Cholecystitis, level: lv28, size: 50x21x18mm, grey-white, wall thickness 4mm, congestive edema, high tension, gallbladder neck with an impacted stone, stone size¡­]


    Chen Cang was surprised to find that this time there was much more information than before. Detailed data was directly fed into his mind, allowing for a more detailed and comprehensive grasp of the disease!


    After the examination, Chen Cang said to Shi Na, ¡°Teacher Shi, please provide support in this field of view.¡±


    Shi Na nodded, and Chen Cang began the next step of the operation.


    Chen Cang chose a three-port laparoscopic approach: one for observation, one for primary operation, and one for assisting.


    Shi Na was indeed nervous because it was time to dissect the gallbladder triangle, also known as the triangle of Calot.


    Fortunately, the gallbladder triangle was clear and easy to dissect. Chen Cang, with forceps in his left hand, retracted the bottom of the gallbladder towards the head side, and with the electrocautery hook, he approached the gallbladder infundibulum to separate the cystic duct.


    This series of movements, although simple in appearance, required countless practice sessions to master proficiently because it¡¯s easy to accidentally damage the sensitive area.


    The dissection and separation of the gallbladder triangle were the most difficult; it¡¯s also the toughest aspect of difficult cholecystectomy surgeries because adhesions in the triangle are severe and hard to separate. While operating, Chen Cang suddenly noticed something very exciting!


    A red [Stone]!


    Chen Cang discovered that while dissecting the gallbladder triangle, he could actually see the red-tagged [Stone]!


    This was undoubtedly great news for Chen Cang.


    Why are there so many instances of postcholecystectomy syndrome?


    It¡¯s because many tiny stones are left behind, or even stones remaining in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts, leading to direct surgical failure!


    If it¡¯s something more serious, such as if a tumor is left behind instead of stones?


    Remember, these things are not easily detected!


    Yet here I am, able to discover those hidden diseases, which is undoubtedly a blessing for the patient.


    Realizing this, Chen Cang discovered that his vision was a treasure, and perhaps there were many more uses for it that he had yet to uncover. But it¡¯s undoubtedly a powerful tool for saving lives and treating diseases! Being able to detect diseases that are easily overlooked is critical for a surgeon! After the excitement, Chen Cang continued with the surgery.


    After clamping the cystic duct and cystic artery, he handed over the electrocautery hook and the converter to proceed with the gallbladder removal! At this moment, Shi Na finally breathed a sigh of relief!


    It¡¯s good once cut!


    Once it¡¯s cut, all is well-


    Next, it was time to extract the gallbladder. A medium-sized vascular clamp was used to grasp it, a small incision with a scalpel was made, and the bile was washed out.


    At this point, the surgery was nearly at its end!


    Now it was time to remove the stones and subsequently pull out the gallbladder!


    The entire procedure went so smoothly that Shi Na felt it all seemed a bit surreal..

    Chapter 96: Chapter 96: A New Concept


    Translator: 549690339 I


    After flushing and examination were completed, the patient needed to be sutured.


    Chen Cang picked up the suturing needle and carefully sutured layer by layer. When it came to suturing the skin, he suddenly thought of a question.


    Could suturing affect the patient¡¯s satisfaction with the surgery?


    The main advantage of minimally invasive surgery is its minimally invasive nature. If I put more effort into it and make it noninvasive, wouldn¡¯t it be even more popular?


    With this thought, Chen Cang calmed down and began to closely observe the wound.


    He suddenly realized that this kind of puncture suturing could be different from regular incision suturing.


    If it were an abdominal surgery, the sturdiness of a wound would need to be considered to prevent it from bursting open.


    If a patient had a few friends like old Chen around, wouldn¡¯t that be a suffering?


    Therefore, the focus of suturing should be on making sure the wound is secure and primarily on preventing infection,


    but punctures are different. The possibility of these wounds bursting open is extremely low, and since the wounds are narrow and small with a limited contact area, the risk of infection is very low.


    Given this, the focus should be placed on one aspect: aesthetics!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang began to ponder.


    Soon, Chen Cang thought of a suturing method that would be more conducive to recovery and concealment of wounds, aligned with his special effect in skin suturing: hiding scars. By using absorbable sutures, there would essentially be no scars at all!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang spoke to the nurse, ¡°Use absorbable fine thread.¡±


    Shi Na had already seen Chen Cang staring at the patient¡¯s belly for quite a while.


    What was so interesting about a belly?


    When she heard Chen Cang asking for absorbable fine thread, she was immediately stunned, ¡°Absorbable thread on the belly?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°1 have a way to make it so the patient can¡¯t find the wound at all!¡±


    This statement baffled Shi Na!


    Make it so the patient can¡¯t find the wound!


    Does that mean¡­


    Out of sight, out of mind?


    How is that possible!


    Even though laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, can the holes created really be left unsutured?


    Once sutured, there are bound to be scars.


    Shi Na pursed her lips. Young people always liked to mess with weird things, full of wild fancies.


    However, since the surgery was completed smoothly, Shi Na wasn¡¯t worried. She left Chen Cang to his own devices.


    Chen Cang began the suturing work, his hands deftly maneuvering the needle holder, and soon, a beautiful surgical knot was tied, and the thread end was cut.


    Just as Shi Na came back to her senses, preparing to say that Chen Cang was being fanciful, she was suddenly dumbfounded!


    Eh?


    Where is the wound?


    Why can¡¯t 1 find it?


    Shocked, Shi Na looked closely and finally noticed the faint outline of the surgical sutures.


    Suddenly, she was at a loss for words!


    This¡­ How is this possible?


    With this thought, Shi Na quickly bent down to look more carefully at the wound.


    Finally, she saw the difference!


    It was the method of apposition Chen Cang chose during suturing, along with the entry points of the stitches that cleverly blended with the skin¡¯s texture.


    This suturing style, angle, and choice of entry points were¡­ too awesome, right?


    Attractive as it was¡­ But wasn¡¯t that way too difficult?


    He turned ordinary suturing into an advanced technique I couldn¡¯t do¡­


    Suddenly, Shi Na realized that this young man, Chen Cang, had only been exposed to surgery for possibly two years.


    In two years, he had improved so much.


    How old was he?


    In her mind, she repeatedly recalled Chen Gang¡¯s surgery just moments ago.


    Proficient!


    Smooth!


    Confident!


    These were the qualities of an outstanding surgeon.


    Even Chen Bingsheng might not be at this level, right?


    Although Shi Na had never personally performed a cholecystectomy, she had seen enough to know the procedure, even if she hadn¡¯t seen a pig run, she had eaten pork before!


    Every step Chen Cang took just now was smooth and unhindered, with almost no room for criticism.


    The dissection of the Calot¡¯s triangle, which Shi Na had been most worried about, seemed to have posed no difficulty for Chen Cang at all, as he completed it in one go.


    What an impressive young man!


    With that thought, Shi Na couldn¡¯t help but express her admiration.


    No wonder he had confidently claimed he could perform the surgery; he had everything under control.


    At this thought, Shi Na¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up.


    Right!


    If Chen Cang could successfully perform cholecystectomies, there would be no need for the patients to be transferred to another hospital.


    There was no longer any need to sweet-talk the surgical department either.


    With this realization, Shi Na also cheered up.


    The fees for surgical patients are higher than those for regular patients. Just for the patient earlier, the surgical costs were estimated to be around ten thousand, with expensive items like titanium clips being quite valuable, not to mention that the surgery was laparoscopic.


    The more the patients paid, the higher the medical fees, and as the team leader, Shi Na naturally earned more too!


    For a moment, Shi Na looked at Chen Cang with a much friendlier gaze.


    ¡°Chen! Where did you learn to perform surgery like that? Did Chen Bingsheng teach you?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and brushed the question off: ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right.¡±


    Had Chen Bingsheng taught Chen Cang?


    He had!


    He told Chen Cang that cholecystectomy was difficult and prone to complications, so if you don¡¯t understand it, don¡¯t mess with it and watch more.


    After hearing this, Shi Na smiled and said, ¡°We have you to thank this time, otherwise, our emergency department would have been in trouble.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled faintly: ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Dr. Shi. The emergency department is everyone¡¯s responsibility, and 1 am just doing my part. After we return, all the patient records and such will need your supervision.¡±


    Chen Cang was speaking the truth; naturally, he wouldn¡¯t have time to write patient records every day from now on. And with Shi Na acting as the team leader for him and Wang Qian, how many fewer problems would arise with the records!


    After all, for a resident doctor, it¡¯s common to be fined for errors in patient records. Having a strict and conscientious attending physician is a lucky thing for everyone.


    Shi Na nodded: ¡°Of course, of course!¡±


    ¡°Keep working on your surgical skills, Chen. I think you really have a talent in this field. With time, you¡¯ll really make something of yourself!¡±


    The two exchanged compliments in a mutually beneficial agreement!


    It was, in fact, a win-win situation.


    Shi Na left with a smile: ¡°I¡¯m going to have Qin Yue and Wang Yong come down to assist you. I still have to be on duty.¡±


    After saying this, Shi Na left.


    Meanwhile, in the office, Qin Yue and Wang Yong had been gossiping for over an hour.


    When Shi Na entered and saw the two of them slouched over the desk, she said, ¡°What are you doing idling around? Hurry up and go help Chen out. There are six surgeries today; you should learn as much as you can.¡±


    Qin Yue asked curiously, ¡°Dr. Shi, can Chen Cang really perform cholecystectomies now?¡±


    Even Wang Yong looked skeptical.


    After all, it made them both look like fools if you knew everything.


    Shi Na pondered and then gave a considered opinion: ¡°Well, how should I put it? It should be better and more meticulous than what Chen Bingsheng does. 1 think you guys should learn from Chen.¡±


    At this, both were taken aback.


    Holy moly!


    Chen Cang, you¡¯ve been farming in secret while we weren¡¯t looking, and now you¡¯re fully equipped!


    Qin Yue¡¯s face showed utter disbelief and astonishment.


    Chen Bingsheng¡¯s skill level was there for all to see, definitely at a senior level with a solid surgical foundation, capable of performing both major and minor surgeries, and how old was Chen Cang?


    And he did even better than Chen Bingsheng!


    This is¡­ This is¡­ This has got to be a joke!


    Thinking this, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but laugh: ¡°Dr. Shi, you¡¯re too funny-¡±


    Shi Na was puzzled: ¡°Funny? What¡¯s funny? Let me tell you, Qin, you¡¯re a top student from Xiangya, indeed quite outstanding, but to be honest, Chen has already unconsciously taken a big step ahead of both of you!¡±


    ¡°And you, Wang, don¡¯t begrudge Chen. 1¡¯11 leave you with this, if you two can keep up with Chen Cang without falling behind, your future is limitless!¡±


    That was a high appraisal for Chen Cang!


    This left Qin Yue and Wang Yong exchanging looks..

 Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Zhang Zhixin Might Lose Her Job...

    Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Zhang Zhixin Might Lose Her Job¡­


    Translator: 549690339 |


    Duan Bo returned to the department, entered the duty room, and closed the door.


    He then dialed Zhang Youfu¡¯s phone.


    ¡°Director, they can¡¯t hold on any longer!¡± Duan Bo said with a smile.


    Zhang Youfu perked up at that, ¡°Oh? Ha-ha, so soon? I haven¡¯t even made my move yet! Tell me the details.¡±


    Duan Bo replied, ¡°Today, Shi Na asked me for a consultation. It was only after I went there that I found out the Emergency Department has almost thirty cases of gallbladder diseases! I must admire Director Li Baoshan¡¯s capability!¡±


    Zhang Youfu nodded, understanding Duan Bo¡¯s implication, since the 120 Emergency Center¡¯s patient distribution also followed an arrangement.


    Different diseases would be sent to different hospitals, and they would communicate and arrange with each hospital beforehand for patient distribution.


    For instance, with myocardial infarctions, the priority might be the Provincial Cardiovascular Hospital and Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, while cerebral hemorrhages might go to Dongda First Hospital, and so on¡­


    Zhang Youfu thought that perhaps Li Baoshan, with the recent establishment of the Emergency Department¡¯s operating room, wanted more traffic and had gotten in touch with the 120 Emergency Center.


    Duan Bo continued, ¡°Of course, didn¡¯t you also see outpatients yesterday, Director? I saw that those patients also went to the Emergency Department. Now there are six or seven surgeries the Emergency Department needs to perform in a short period and more than thirty people need to have their surgeries completed within three days!¡±


    ¡°Even if Chen Bingsheng were to work nonstop without eating or drinking, he couldn¡¯t finish them all! I want to see how he wraps this up!¡±


    Zhang Youfu suddenly burst into laughter, but after a moment, he also became serious and said earnestly, ¡°Well, this¡­ Duan Bo, competition aside, you have to be a bit more careful. We are doctors. If the other side can¡¯t hold up, we must protect the patients in time and complete the surgeries promptly. We must not have any accidents.¡±


    Duan Bo nodded, ¡°Rest assured, Director. But¡­ the time is not right yet. We still need to increase their burden, send them more patients. During the hospital meeting, you can talk to the hospital leadership, suggesting that talent in the Emergency Department is scarce, and having so many operating rooms is a sheer waste. We might as well give them to the Surgery Department to assist in Emergency Department surgeries. This would not only allow for effective resource use but also indirectly strengthen the Emergency Department. Wouldn¡¯t that be perfect?¡±


    After listening, Zhang Youfu couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    He was seeing outpatients on Monday morning when it was the busiest. By then, directing patients to the Emergency Department would make everything easier to discuss at the Wednesday hospital meeting!


    Meanwhile, in the Emergency Department¡¯s operating room, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system¡¯s notification sound:


    ¡°Ding! Ten consecutive operations completed in the operating room, title upgraded from Operating Room Novice to Operating Room Rookie.¡±


    ¡°Operating Room Rookie: 1. Five percent chance to acquire the skills of the chief surgeon while assisting; 2. Double surgery experience when performing as the chief surgeon (can be stacked with other experience-enhancing items).¡± ¡°Ding! Subsequent mission triggered: Complete one hundred operations to unlock the next title.¡±


    Looking at the rewards, Chen Cang felt somewhat overwhelmed!


    A five percent chance had gone up fivefold!


    And¡­ the Operating Room Rookie had an incredible attribute compared to the initial Operating Room Novice, doubling the surgery experience!


    This was simply too cool.


    He still had five Triple Experience Pills, and now with the double privilege, it was like reaching the pinnacle of life.


    Perfect!


    Chen Cang was increasingly appreciating the benefits brought by the title system.


    It was time to earnestly complete the substantial task of treating one hundred patients.


    At this moment, Qin Yue and Wang Yong had come down together. Seeing Chen Cang, they greeted him.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°You¡¯re here, get washed up and change quickly, the next surgery is about to start. We need to complete six surgeries today. Time is tight, and tasks are heavy, so everyone, hurry up!¡±


    A laparoscopic cholecystectomy would take at least an hour and a half at its fastest. It was almost three o¡¯clock, and there were still five surgeries left¡­ It was clear they were in for a late night.


    Qin Yue, feeling like a little fan, rolled his eyes upon hearing this, ¡°Ah, there goes my weekend again!¡±


    Wang Yong, on the other hand, was somewhat excited. After all, he was about to be assessed, probably next week or the week after. It wasn¡¯t long now.


    So, participating in more surgeries was a good thing for him.


    If he could learn the cholecystectomy, he would definitely pass the assessment with flying colors.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang remembered there were all surgeries this afternoon and decided to use one of the Triple Experience Pills, getting ready for the operations!


    ¡°Ding! Triple experience activated, remaining time 9 hours 59 minutes¡­ Currently as chief surgeon, surgery skill experience bonus +6 times; medical experience bonus +3 times!¡±


    Oh!


    So, the experience bonus from the title of best newcomer in the operating room only applies to surgical skill experience, not general medical experience.


    But that¡¯s enough.


    The surgery began, the patient had acute cholecystitis.


    Chen Cang was the chief surgeon, and it was still a laparoscopic operation. This time, when Chen Cang was cutting and drilling, he deliberately chose an angle and force that would be more convenient for suturing when making the incision.


    Next was insufflation.


    Chen Cang looked at Wang Yong, ¡°In laparoscopic surgery, you must be careful with the force used during puncturing to avoid damaging the organs inside the abdomen¡­ and also, the speed of insufflation to prevent syndromes such as pneumoperitoneum.¡±


    ¡°Laparoscopic surgeries have many complications, and we must try our best to avoid them.¡±


    No sooner had Chen Cang finished speaking!


    He had a sudden inspiration.


    He remembered something.


    That was the modified appendectomy with a small incision.


    This surgery is a new technique that emerged to address the shortcomings of both traditional open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. Could he draw inspiration from it and modify the technique for small incision gallbladder removal?


    With this idea, Chen Cang felt inspired inside!


    In due time, he would definitely have to think this over carefully.


    For now, he needed to proceed with the surgery in a standard way.


    The A port was for inserting the scope.


    B and C ports, one for the main operation and one for assistance.


    Originally, he wanted Wang Yong to hold the mirror, but after pondering, Chen Cang said to Qin Yue, ¡°Hold the mirror steadily.¡±


    After that, he let Wang Yong do the exploration.


    Chen Cang could do it faster himself, but since Wang Yong needed the practice, Chen Cang decided to give him a chance.


    Upon hearing this, Wang Yong¡¯s eyes lit up, and he started to explore with forceps in his left hand.


    Chen Cang, watching the screen, knew the situation inside the abdomen as if it was at his fingertips. He instructed Wang Yong, ¡°Use the toothless grasper to clamp the gallbladder and push it towards the diaphragm, then lift it upwards, that¡¯s right, expose the hepatic portal, see that? That¡¯s the gallbladder triangle area.¡±


    Wang Yong was as cautious as a student facing his teacher. Whatever Chen Cang said, he did.


    Moreover, what was most important was that he found Chen Gang¡¯s methods straightforward.


    Very succinct!


    Not like those tedious and dull teaching videos online.


    In those, a single step would be narrated with over a hundred sentences, none of which were the key points, making the viewer want to doze off.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t know that this was a summary of Chen Gang¡¯s advanced experience in gallbladder removal surgery, every word a gem!


    Meanwhile, beneath her mask, Qin Yue curled her lips: Why should I just hold the mirror, I want to perform surgery too!


    After her silent complaint, she glared directly at Chen Cang, who was watching the monitor.


    Chen Cang, puzzled, thought Qin Yue was making eyes at him. After considering it, as it¡¯s only polite to return a courtesy, he sent back a glance. Then he sighed deeply, advising earnestly, ¡°Just focus on holding the mirror properly, don¡¯t let your thoughts wander in the operating room.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue instantly boiled with anger.


    Seeing this reaction, Chen Gang¡¯s eyes lit up.


    If women had such a skill, going forward, Zhang Zhixin would definitely be out of a job.


    ps: Thanks to the brother with red lips, high heels, and black eyeshadow for the 20000 reward, becoming the Sect Leader of this book. I¡¯m truly grateful. For you, I¡¯ll add more chapters¡ªthirteen updates on the 25th (this Friday)..

    Chapter 98: Chapter 98: The more complex the gallbladder, the more twisted and abstract


    Translator: 549690339


    As the surgery progressed, everyone gradually settled into their roles.


    Chen Cang mostly operated while lecturing, without any impact on his performance, and with the help of the television screen, there were no concerns about an insufficient surgical field, allowing everyone to clearly see the procedural details.


    Wang Yong listened attentively, with scrupulous care, while Qin Yue also watched carefully, continually reflecting.


    The surgery lasted over an hour, with Chen Cang performing very conscientiously, and explaining in great detail.


    Both of them could say they benefited a great deal!


    After all, they were peers, which made for easy communication, and they both felt free to ask questions.


    It wasn¡¯t like the restraint one feels with a superior physician.


    In this way, both parties benefited considerably.


    Teaching work not only improves students, but it is also a good exercise for the teacher.


    Given that students¡¯ questions can be quite diverse and may touch upon angles and details that you might not have noticed, whatever you overlook becomes an opportunity for improvement.


    Therefore, Chen Cang also gained something from both of their questions.


    The surgery had just ended when a prompt tone sounded.


    ¡°Ding! By slaying acute cholecystitis at level 28, you have gained +600 experience (six times the experience) for cholecystectomy, and +300 experience (three times the experience).¡±


    To be honest, Chen Cang was overwhelmed by such a large amount of experience!


    After opening his own attribute panel, Chen Cang was stunned.


    ¡°Cholecystectomy: Advanced, Experience: 700/4000;¡±


    With a sudden 600 experience points, did that mean if he had seven more patients today, he could level up to master?


    That was way too fast!


    The more Chen Cang thought about it, the more excited he became.


    Chen Cang went to wash his hands and change clothes, while Wang Yong was cleaning up discarded items, Qin Yue stood there pensive.


    Honestly, today¡¯s surgery was truly shocking for both of them!


    It completely renewed their understanding of Chen Cang!


    Because Chen Cang¡¯s surgery was done very well!


    It was very smooth!


    It was like a textbook!


    And Chen Cang had fluent responses to all their queries, the comparison suddenly made them gape in amazement.


    Unknowingly, a gap had emerged!


    When someone has one dollar more than you, you might be indifferent, if they have a hundred thousand more, you might feel jealous or envious, but when they have ten million more or even more than that, you lose the will to compare.


    That was the sentiment.


    At this moment, neither of them had any thoughts of competition that they might have had at the beginning.


    Wang Yong was more self-aware, having sold off the Doran¡¯s items in the past few days to buy a full set of support gear and wards, ready to help Chen Cang carry the game!


    Wang Yong had realized that Chen Cang was a strong pillar; never mind the rest, first secure a spot on his team.


    So, Wang Yong at that moment didn¡¯t have the luxury of pondering all sorts of miscellaneous things, just study diligently, follow orders, that¡¯s all it took!


    In a phrase commonly used as an insult, his mind at this moment was filled with gallbladders.


    Gallbladder wall, common bile duct, hepatic duct, infundibulum of the gallbladder.


    Out of nowhere, a version of ¡°The Ram¡± titled ¡°The Gallbladder¡± began to form unexpectedly in his mind.


    Such complex gallbladders.


    So twisted, so abstract.


    So malevolent the stones.


    Always an ominous descent.


    Anxiety filled the heart!


    Nearly losing all shape.


    The triangular adhesions are absurd.


    Sworn to resist with tenacity.


    Humming this ditty, Wang Yong packed up his things, his heart filled with excitement and agitation. He had always been too cautious when assisting the chief surgeon during operations, careful not to make mistakes, and often too nervous to ask questions, leaving him confused. In surgery, he would even become somewhat dazed. However, the laparoscopic exploration of the abdominal cavity before today¡¯s surgery had ignited his eagerness to try.


    He felt he had grasped a few clues.


    He suddenly realized that experience matters, the director¡¯s arrangement had been incredibly wise, and perhaps Chen Cang was the one to propel his career to new heights!


    When there was nobody in the operating room, Wang Yong approached Qin Yue somewhat sheepishly and said, ¡°Qin Yue, I have something 1 want to


    discuss with you.¡±


    Qin Yue was taken aback and her cheeks reddened, ¡°There are cameras¡­¡± Wang Yong was stunned, completely taken aback by the fujoshi with an interest in ¡°second dimension¡±: ¡°What are you thinking? 1 need a favor. How about you assist by holding the ¡®Mirror¡¯ for the upcoming surgery? 1¡­ I think my assessment is coming up soon, and I want to get more practice.


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue responded, ¡°Okay, then.¡±


    After all, she also wanted to give it a try, but considering Wang Yong was still a temp, she agreed to it.


    After changing, the third operation began as usual.


    This time, without needing to say it aloud, Qin Yue held the ¡®Mirror,¡¯ Wang


    Yong explored, and Chen Cang performed the surgery!


    The smoothness of the operation surprised Chen Cang, and the speed increased somewhat too. Having an assistant was indeed quite nice.


    At this moment, Chen Cang thoughtfully looked at the two of them and considered that perhaps in the future he should train a group of his own juniors. Taking two people with him when he went out-one who could cheer ¡°666¡± and the other skilled in tactical maneuvers seemed like a fine choice.


    After the third operation in the afternoon¡­


    Chen Cang suddenly thought of something and asked Qin Yue, ¡°Did you notice how I stitched up the wound just now?¡±


    Qin Yue shook her head, but Wang Yong suddenly spoke up: ¡°I saw it!¡±


    Chen Cang was surprised and curious, ¡°Oh? Tell me.¡±


    Wang Yong said, ¡°The first time 1 saw you stitching up the wound after the operation, I had already noticed. The suturing is very meticulous, almost leaving no trace, and you used absorbable sutures.


    ¡°During the second operation, I paid close attention when you used the scalpel to make the incisions. Your cuts were very skillful, with even force, all of which serve the later suturing. One could say that you were already thinking about how to suture while making the incisions!¡±


    Wang Yong was excited! To the point that, by the end, ¡°you¡± had turned into ¡°you¡± with all due respect!


    Because he realized Chen Cang was truly exceptional, even the smallest details were taken into consideration.


    Such skill and finesse, let alone others, even Director Li Baoshan might not possess them!


    Assisting someone like this, how could he lack an MVP!


    After a moment¡¯s thought, he glanced at Qin Yue and noticed that she wasn t looking at him but seemed lost in thought.


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, not expecting that the ordinarily inconspicuous Wang Yong would possess such a capacity for detailed observation.


    This was a strength!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang looked at Wang Yong and nodded in satisfaction, ¡°Good, that¡¯s indeed what 1 deliberately did. I¡¯ve been thinking, since one of the advantages of laparoscopic surgery is its minimally invasive nature, can we not further amplify this advantage and make it even less invasive, or perhaps even non-invasive!¡±


    Looking at Qin Yue, he continued, ¡°Do you think this topic is worth researching?¡±


    Finally, Qin Yue spoke, ¡°I¡¯ve been contemplating this issue just now!


    ¡°It¡¯s valuable! Very much worth researching.¡±


    ¡°Laparoscopic surgery is mainstream now, but I haven¡¯t heard of any research focused on wound modification. Since the incision made by laparoscopic surgery is already small, no one has pursued further research in this direction.¡± ¡°However, exactly because of this, we can absolutely magnify this feature of the procedure and turn it into a research project!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Good, then go and gather some information, particularly from foreign language literature reviews and journal articles.¡±


    He wasn¡¯t afraid of not being able to write papers, as long as there were others who could.


    After all, several names can be signed on a paper.


    The significance of being the corresponding author is not inferior to that of the first author; it¡¯s even more persuasive in certain fields.


    Science Info: The corresponding author generally refers to the person in charge of the entire project, responsible for the funding, design, and writing of the paper, and acts as the contact for the article and research materials.


    Most importantly, they bear the responsibility for the reliability of the article. The advantage of being the corresponding author is the ability to establish broader connections with the outside world. Some journals may invite you to submit papers or write reviews, significantly elevating your status in the scientific community.


    The first author is typically the researcher who contributed the most to the work presented in the paper. This author not only provides most and the most important figures (namely the physical contribution) but also composes the initial draft of the paper (namely the intellectual contribution).


    If talking about intellectual property, the research achievement is considered to belong to the corresponding author..

    The three of them were busy until about eleven o¡¯clock at night before they finally completed all of today¡¯s surgeries!


    Qin Yue¡¯s work afterwards was no longer holding the Mirror, but she handed over the Mirror-holding duty to Wang Yong, and she began to take pictures and record the surgical procedures.


    The main purpose of the three people this time was not simply for the research of gallbladder surgery, but for further research on the process of laparoscopic well suturing and how to design a better minimally invasive suturing technique.


    Each of them had their roles and small personal goals in mind.


    Chen Cang was trying to ¡°level up¡± by defeating challenges and upgrading his equipment, refining new surgical techniques.


    Wang Yong was focused on learning the surgeries, working hard to assist Chen Cang in acquiring a ¡°complete set¡± quickly.


    Qin Yue was gathering data and keeping records, preparing for the research topics.


    With clear division of labor, their work proceeded very smoothly.


    After eleven o¡¯clock, everyone remembered that they hadn¡¯t eaten dinner yet!


    By that time, the restaurants were mostly closed, but the night market was still open. Chen Cang was treating everyone today, pampering them with good food and drinks.


    It was already midnight when they got home.


    Getting up the next day, Chen Cang arrived at the department full of anticipation, because now:


    [Gallbladder Removal Surgery: Advanced; Experience: 3900/4000]


    He was only a hundred experience points away from leveling up his gallbladder removal surgery!


    Master level!


    The thought excited Chen Cang.


    During the shift handover today, as he heard the duty nurse report the admissions over the past two days, Li Baoshan immediately frowned!


    More than thirty gallbladder removal surgery patients.


    He spotted the issue at a glance.


    As an old hand, Li Baoshan suddenly asked Shi Na, ¡°More than thirty operations, isn¡¯t that a bit too many? Can we manage that workload?¡±


    Shi Na was currently in charge of the emergency external ward, so Li Baoshan asked her first.


    Shi Na nodded, ¡°The surgeries have been methodically arranged; you can rest assured, Director.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Hmm, pay more attention to it. The emergency ward is not like other departments; we must keep enough beds available for emergency patients. For gallbladder removal patients¡­ arrange them according to the department¡¯s surgical capabilities, and don¡¯t overextend, after all, some gallbladder surgeries can¡¯t be delayed.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng also frowned slightly, ¡°More than thirty¡­ that¡¯s quite a lot. A laparoscopic gallbladder surgery takes more than an hour including preparation time; it won¡¯t be easy! Can¡¯t finish them all in a day without eating or drinking, right? That¡¯s¡­ quite a workload!¡±


    For a moment, everyone turned to look at Shi Na.


    But Shi Na just smiled, ¡°Yesterday, Chen Cang did six surgeries, today, old


    Chen eight, young Chen eight, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the office fell silent.


    Li Baoshan was a bit surprised, ¡°Chen Cang, you can do gallbladder removal surgery too?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Shi Na went on to say, ¡°Yesterday, there were several urgent surgeries. Director, you and old Chen weren¡¯t here. I called for a surgical consult, and Duan Bo was hemming and hawing with no time. 1 was about to have the patients transferred urgently, and then¡­¡±


    After Shi Na recounted the surgical events of the previous day involving Chen Cang, everyone was stunned!


    Chen Cang had stepped up to the challenge once again!


    Looking at everyone¡¯s praise, Chen Cang quickly demurred, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Teacher Chen¡¯s good guidance.¡±


    With that remark, everyone turned to look at old Chen.


    Li Baoshan turned around and affectionately called out to old Chen, ¡°Bingsheng, well done!¡±


    Shi Na nodded with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s right! Old Chen, good job, a master indeed shapes a talented disciple!¡±


    Looking at the praise from everyone, old Chen blushed for the first time in his life.


    Am I really that good?


    Am I actually this amazing?


    Did I unknowingly teach a genius?


    I¡¯m this awesome, how come I never knew about it?


    But¡­ what exactly did I teach Chen Cang?


    Chen Bingsheng really couldn¡¯t remember what he taught Chen Cang?


    Forget it, if I can¡¯t remember, I won¡¯t bother, it¡¯s all my teaching anyway!


    Thinking this way, Chen Bingsheng¡¯s posture was completely different, he stood tall and proud, even bigger than Qin Yue.


    Shi Na continued, ¡°Most patients who undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy can go home the same day after surgery. They can eat and move around normally as long as they follow up regularly at the outpatient clinic, without any need for excessive trouble!¡±


    ¡°So, Director, our wards will be empty soon, you don¡¯t have to worry about that!¡±


    After listening to this, Li Baoshan nodded immediately, ¡°Good! Having such achievements right after our emergency surgery department was established is impressive!¡±


    ¡°However, we must ensure the patients¡¯ safety and not neglect quality in pursuit of quantity! Qin Yue, pay close attention and kick off the research.¡±


    After the brief handover, Chen Cang was about to dive into today¡¯s surgeries. Chen Bingsheng had arranged for eight surgeries, and so had Chen Cang.


    In the operating room, Qin Yue suddenly thought of something and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Chen Cang, I think¡­ we can set up a control group and an experimental group. The control group would use traditional laparoscopic surgery, and the experimental group would use your method. Then we could do a data analysis, and a simple paper would come right out!¡±


    Chen Cang thought this was feasible, ¡°That works, it¡¯s just¡­ where are you going to find a control group?¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s eyes swirled, bright and sparkling, ¡°Next door!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Next door? Chen Bingsheng?!¡±


    Suddenly, Chen Cang realized and gave an awkward smile, ¡°Is that really okay?¡±


    If Chen Bingsheng found out his surgeries were being used as a control group to highlight mine, would he be angry enough to hit me?


    Qin Yue¡¯s eyes twirled, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? 1 think it¡¯s a great idea, and I ll take charge of the surgery research.¡±


    Chen Cang gave an embarrassed laugh, ¡°Go discuss it with Chen Bingsheng then.¡±


    In today¡¯s surgeries, Wang Yong became more skilled than the day before, their cooperation was even more seamless, and they finished in much less time!


    But, Chen Cang noticed something.


    [Cholecystectomy: Advanced; Experience: 4200/4000;]


    The experience points are there!


    But¡­ no level up!


    Why???


    This¡­ is really a perplexing issue.


    After pondering for a long while, Chen Cang suddenly remembered something that happened to Chen Bingsheng before, who also got stuck without leveling up.


    What should I do next?


    Grinding without leveling up isn¡¯t really the issue here.


    It seems the leveling up is no longer just about experience points, there might be deeper layers of research required.


    [Ding! You have hit a bottleneck in your surgery. To advance, you need to solve a variety of types, complexities, and difficulties in cholecystectomy. Merely ordinary surgeries cannot satisfy your understanding of cholecystectomy, please strive hard!]


    Upon hearing this!


    Chen Cang had an epiphany, so that¡¯s where the problem lies.


    Since I can¡¯t level up, Chen Cang looked at Wang Yong and suddenly asked, ¡°Want to give it a try?¡±


    Wang Yong was startled!


    Immediately overjoyed and a little surprised, ¡°1¡­ can 1? You¡­ I¡­¡±


    Having been an assistant in surgeries with Li Baoshan for over two years, how could he not be excited at such an opportunity to operate independently?


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Of course! Why not! I¡¯m right here watching you, go for it!¡±


    [Ding! Wang Yong¡¯s favorability +20!]


    ps: Thanks to the old friend Mo Chu for the generous reward, thank you!

 Chapter 100 - Chapter 100: Chapter too: Thanks for the gallbladder sent

    Chapter 100: Chapter too: Thanks for the gallbladder sent


    by my bro¡­ 666


    Translator: 549690339


    Two days of surgery were infinitely beneficial for Wang Yong.


    Never before had he felt such a sense of fulfillment and ambition in these two days!


    Wang Yong could now independently complete a gallbladder removal surgery with the help of Chen Cang.


    Although not as fluent as Chen Cang, he was able to finish the procedure quite smoothly.


    Surgery is all about practice making perfect, and Chen Cang seemed to have a pair of ¡°golden eyes¡± that always pinpointed Wang Yong¡¯s deficiencies.


    Gradually, the third doctor in the emergency department capable of performing a gallbladder removal surgery was born!


    With Wang Yong¡¯s addition, the scheduling of surgeries became more orderly, and over forty procedures were conducted smoothly.


    By Wednesday, all urgent patients had been dealt with, and now only a handful of inpatients were waiting for surgery and rehabilitation. Suddenly, everyone felt¡­ why do there seem to be fewer patients with gallbladder issues?


    And for the director, Li Baoshan, there was a sense of pride, as the addition of Chen Cang and Wang Yong had brought two more great generals to the emergency department!


    The entire emergency surgery department began to take shape and move towards the right track.


    When Wednesday came, the hospital meeting began!


    Heads of related departments attended one after another.


    Director Zhang from the general surgery department had long awaited this day!


    The meeting was to summarize some important issues from the previous week, and the most significant of last week was the establishment of an emergency operating room.


    At this point, Li Baoshan reported on the performance of the emergency department since the operating room was established.


    During the report, Zhang Youfu suddenly spoke up to interrupt, ¡°Director Li¡¯s report seems to contain some inaccuracies!¡±


    At this statement, everyone around him immediately looked up.


    Zhang Youfu said, ¡°To my knowledge, the emergency ward is currently overloaded, and a vast amount of emergency resources have been diverted. Uninformed people might even think that the emergency department has become an inpatient ward!¡±


    Li Baoshan: ¡°The emergency department always maintains its emergency characteristics, and we have abundant emergency resources, fully capable of fulfilling our mission. I¡¯m not sure what Director Zhang is referring to.¡±


    Upon hearing Li Baoshan¡¯s persistent denial, Zhang Youfu thought, ¡°Still trying to deny it, huh?¡±


    He spoke bluntly, ¡°I heard that the emergency department had received nearly forty patients for gallbladder removal surgery, including acute cholecystitis, cholelithiasis¡­ and many other surgical indications. Am I right? Having over forty patients staying in the emergency ward, wouldn¡¯t that affect the normal operation of the emergency department?¡±


    Li Baoshan was stunned for a moment: There are only fifteen patients in the emergency ward now, aren¡¯t there? Where are all those inpatients? They¡¯d been discharged already¡­


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°That¡¯s correct! I was just about to report that in the past few days, the emergency department has taken in nearly forty to fifty gallbladder surgery patients, but¡­ they¡¯ve all been properly dealt with.¡±


    Zhang Youfu laughed at Li Baoshan¡¯s response, ¡°Many of these patients need to undergo surgery within three days. As a veteran director in the field of emergency medicine, you must understand better than us! My question is, does the emergency department have the capacity to complete over forty surgeries within three days?¡±


    ¡°To my knowledge, Director Li is busy every day, often having to participate in various major surgeries, and within the emergency department¡¯s own team, only Chen Bingsheng is capable of performing gallbladder removal surgeries. Can one person complete over forty surgeries?¡±


    ¡°Since the emergency department doesn¡¯t have the capacity to perform over forty surgeries, why admit so many patients? This is not only counterproductive to the emergency department¡¯s function but also detrimental to the patients¡¯ recovery!¡±


    ¡°So, I believe that the emergency department should focus on pre-hospital care and fulfill its emergency duties, and leave surgeries to the relevant surgical departments! As for the operating room, even if it¡¯s not given to us in the general surgery department, it should fall under the management of the operating room staff.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that 1 don¡¯t want the emergency department to have an operating room, but I think it should wait until the emergency surgery team is well-established and capable of managing properly before giving them an operating room!¡±


    The other directors understood!


    At the end of the day, it was still a battle for the operating room!


    Don¡¯t underestimate the importance of an operating room; for a department¡¯s profits, it¡¯s a terrifyingly crucial asset, a battleground that must be fought for!


    Li Baoshan suddenly smiled, ¡°It seems Director Zhang is paying close attention to the development of our department. 1 only made a report here, which is the work summary of the emergency operating room since it was established a week ago!¡±


    ¡°Since the emergency operating room was established a week ago, within four days after the equipment was in place, we¡¯ve performed a total of sixty-seven surgeries, including forty-five laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgeries, five appendectomies, eight tendon suture surgeries¡­¡±


    As soon as Li Baoshan said this, everyone present couldn¡¯t help but be stunned!


    Sixty-seven surgeries in four days!


    This was an incredible achievement in any department.


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Youfu snorted with derision, ¡°Are you bluffing without a draft, Director Li? This is a hospital meeting, not a place for jokes. Your data is impossible! The emergency department simply doesn¡¯t have that capacity.¡±


    Li Baoshan smiled faintly: ¡°There¡¯s a record for every surgery. By the way, Director Zhang, you might not be familiar with the emergency department. In our department, there are three people who can perform gallbladder removal surgeries, including the Chen Bingsheng you mentioned, and besides him, we have two other young colleagues, one is the recently appointed Chen Cang and the other is Wang Yong.¡±


    ¡°Three people can¡¯t complete over forty surgeries in three days?¡±


    ¡°Moreover, we have quite a few patients, it¡¯s not just forty surgeries, our operating room has never been idle. On the contrary, I¡¯ve heard that there aren¡¯t many people in the general surgery department, and there are plenty of operating rooms. If Director Zhang is interested, we could collaborate.¡±


    With that statement!


    Zhang Youfu was nearly enraged to the point of spitting blood!


    Since when could Chen Cang perform gallbladder surgeries?


    Wasn¡¯t he just a freshly appointed young man?


    And who was this Wang Yong?!


    Why haven¡¯t 1 heard of these people?


    At this thought, Zhang Youfu¡¯s face turned dark instantly. How could Duan Bo make such a rookie mistake!


    The more he thought about it, the angrier Zhang Youfu got. How could such a thing happen at an institution-wide meeting? Where would he put his face!


    And the most crucial thing, why do you have so many patients!


    Weren¡¯t they all referred by me?


    Why would I refer patients to you?


    Have I got bile in my brain?


    As Zhang Youfu thought more about it, the more suffocated and angry he felt!


    It was as if he could see Li Baoshan shouting in the live broadcast room, ¡°Thanks to the Head of Surgery Zhang Youfu for sending another acute cholecystitis patient! Bro, 666!¡±


    Thinking of his foolish actions, Zhang Youfu felt his rage surge!


    Deep breaths¡­


    Zhang Youfu tried hard to calm himself down¡­


    At this point, the entire conference room livened up!


    The emergency surgery room had been established for less than a week and had already performed over sixty operations how could this number not be exaggerated?


    Let alone whether it¡¯s possible to do so many surgeries, it isn¡¯t easy to gather that many patients either.


    One after another, they couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°Director Li is amazing!¡±


    ¡°Right! Emergency medicine will only get better and better under Director Li¡¯s leadership!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, after all, it¡¯s not easy to take in so many cholecystectomy patients in just a few days, Director Li really should share the experience with everyone!¡±


    When Zhang Youfu heard this, the calm he had just regained nearly exploded with anger!


    Weren¡¯t they all patients I referred? Otherwise, how could you have so many?


    Having so many patients was inseparable from the hard work of our Director Zhang, from the painstaking efforts of Director Zhang Youfu.


    Oh, what irony!


    The meeting Director Zhang originally planned as a criticism session turned into a commendation ceremony!


    The following meeting became a sharing session of Li Baoshan¡¯s experiences, as such significant workload certainly needed to be praised.


    Qin Xiaoyuan, as a hospital leader, was the happiest, clapping enthusiastically!


    Secretary Tan Liguo grimaced with a bitter smile! His hands ached from clapping¡­ and were a bit numb¡­


    After the meeting ended, as everyone took the elevator, Li Baoshan happened to meet Zhang Youfu. He smiled and said, ¡°Director Zhang, 1 heard from our department¡¯s patients that they came to our emergency department from your clinic. Is that true?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Youfu¡¯s face turned red in an instant!


    Luckily, he had thick skin, so no change was noticeable, but seeing Li Baoshan¡¯s teasing expression, it was as though he was saying, ¡°Thanks for the ten cholecystectomy patients you sent, bro!¡±


    Zhang Youfu took a deep breath and forced a strained smile, ¡°I was afraid you wouldn¡¯t have any patients now that the emergency surgery department is established.¡±


    As soon as Li Baoshan heard this, he couldn¡¯t help shaking his head. Zhang Youfu really had thick skin!


    Standing in the same elevator, Zhang Youfu felt extremely uncomfortable.


    It was like sitting on pins and needles!


    He could hardly wait until they reached the sixth floor before he rushed out, not even bothering to greet anyone!


    Just coming off the elevator, the group of nurses, doctors, and interns saw Director Zhang with a fierce look on his face, heading straight for his office, his expression screaming ¡°I am super fierce.¡±


    He entered his office and shut the door!


    Zhang Youfu sat there, unable to recover for a long time!


    He felt like an idiot who had been sold out and was still helping to count the money!


    The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, all his hard work had gone towards making a wedding dress for someone else!


    With that in mind, he called Duan Bo!


    Duan Bo was very obedient and scurried into the director¡¯s office. Seeing how Zhang Youfu was suppressing his rage, Duan Bo worried if he might lash out. After hesitating, he closed the door.


    ps: Thanks to ¡°Unwilling to Make Progress, Thinking of You¡± for becoming the first Alliance Hierarch of this book! Deeply grateful! The Alliance Hierarch is like the face of the book, really, it looks so reputable. I will add more chapters for you guys tomorrow when the book goes on shelves.

    Order)


    Translator: 549690339 I


    After the mentor guidance was activated, Chen Cang saw huge changes in front of his eyes!


    The transparent virtual screen in front of him began to display a slew of prompts!


    Even a tone started ringing in his ears!


    ¡°Mentor guidance mode activated! Detected: The patient has type Mirrizi syndrome!¡±


    ¡°The surgical procedure is as follows: first, make an incision in the gallbladder at the Hartmann¡¯s pouch, suction out the bile, remove the lodged stone¡­¡±


    ¡°Would you like to start the action demonstration?¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    As the voice sounded, a virtual image began to perform surgery on a human body.


    Could it really be this magical?


    This is ¡°mentor guidance¡±!


    Isn¡¯t it too powerful?


    Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaodong and Qin Yue were staring at the messy and complicated gallbladder in the abdominal cavity on the television, not knowing where to start.


    Because none of them had ever seen anything like this before!


    What is this thing?


    Zhou Xiaodong looked helpless, wondering how chronic cholecystitis could have turned into this!


    Unable to hold back, Qin Yue asked, ¡°Chen Cang, do you know¡­ what kind of patient this is? What is this disease?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed and looked up at them: ¡°I¡¯m afraid we¡¯re in trouble, this is a rare and difficult complication of the gallbladder, called Mirrizi syndrome. Before surgery, it¡¯s impossible to find any abnormalities in such patients, their symptoms are not much different from those of ordinary chronic cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, even less obvious!¡±


    Upon hearing this, both were abruptly taken aback.


    Not to mention anything else, just the English letters alone seemed daunting.


    Zhou Xiaodong suddenly came to a realization; he had heard about this condition: ¡°This is Mirrizi syndrome?¡±


    However, Zhou Xiaodong only faintly remembered his mentor Qian Liang mentioning this disease during school, one of the most difficult gallbladder removal surgeries!


    With this in mind, Zhou Xiaodong felt a chill in his heart!


    Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What is this thing?¡±


    Chen Cang calmly nodded, ¡°This is a rare disease, a very uncommon complication seen in chronic cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, a syndrome!¡±


    ¡°Mirrizi syndrome refers to a clinical syndrome characterized by cholecystitis and obstructive jaundice caused by the cystic duct stone or stones at the neck of the gallbladder that consequently compress the common bile duct or hepatic duct, leading to a narrowing of the hepatic duct.¡±


    ¡°This condition is relatively rare in clinical practice, with its pathological basis in cystic duct or neck stones that are lodged and inflamed; these patients typically have a protracted medical history.¡±


    ¡°Persistent lodgment and compression by larger stones at the infundibulum and neck of the gallbladder can cause narrowing of the common hepatic duct or cholecystocholedochal fistula, as well as recurrent episodes of cholecystitis and obstructive jaundice.¡±


    Right after Chen Cang finished speaking, Zhou Xiaodong eagerly nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right! The patient indeed has a history of recurrent cholecystitis, and the liver function has shown a significant increase in serum bilirubin, including marked elevations in ALT and ALP!¡±


    In that moment, Chen Gang¡¯s stature rose significantly in their eyes, even the scrub nurse was dumbfounded.


    This is a master!


    An absolute expert!


    Nailed it at a glance; he identified the disease straight away.


    Seeing is one thing, but can he do it?


    By this time, Chen Cang had already watched the demonstration several times and knew it by heart, he said to the others, ¡°Dr. Zhou, you help me hold the ¡®Mirror,¡¯ I¡¯ll perform the surgery, let¡¯s get started; we can¡¯t just keep the patient waiting!¡±


    Zhou Xiaodong hurriedly nodded!


    If Chen Cang could do it, that would be great¡­


    The feeling of despair just now was too frightening.


    But¡­


    Could Chen Cang do it?


    Zhou Xiaodong himself felt apprehensive, ¡°Can you¡­ really do it?¡±


    ¡°This is Mirrizi syndrome!¡±


    It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t trust Chen Cang but the surgery was truly dangerous and difficult!


    It was definitely not that easy.


    Chen Cang turned around, ¡°Is there any other way?¡±


    The question left Zhou Xiaodong speechless.


    Right, is there any other option?


    Still, Zhou Xiaodong reminded him, ¡°Can you do it? If you can¡¯t, you should find someone else because if there¡¯s an accident, you¡­ you can¡¯t bear the consequences!¡±


    Hearing Zhou Xiaodong say this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I can do it!¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the complex abdominal cavity; without ¡°mentor guidance,¡± he would have been shaking with uncertainty!


    The first step was still to separate the messy gallbladder triangle, where the Calot¡¯s triangle was swollen, with fibrotic tissue and a thickened cystic duct prone to bleeding upon touch. In such conditions, it would be impossible for the ordinary person to dissect the boundaries of the cystic duct, cystic artery, and common bile duct.


    This was also the main reason Zhou Xiaodong hesitated to make a move!


    If it caused bleeding, that would be a big problem.


    Zhou Xiaodong asked cautiously, ¡°Can the gallbladder triangle be separated? If not¡­ I¡­¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head and directly said, ¡°Give me the electrocautery hook!¡±


    Zhou Xiaodong, anxious and doubtful yet hopeful, after a struggle, handed the electrocautery hook to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang took over the electrosurgical hook, carefully opening the peritoneal covering of the gallbladder in both the anterior and posterior triangle, fearing any damage to the cystic duct.


    ¡°Suction!¡±


    Chen Cang used the suction device to scrape, and at this moment, the cystic duct, cystic artery, and common hepatic duct were still very unclear, impossible to see properly!


    Chen Gang¡¯s set of operations was already very difficult, and despite his cautious and earnest effort, was it still not possible?


    Zhou Xiaodong¡¯s heart had already sunk to the bottom of the sea, while Qin Yue stared intently at the monitor, her lips silent, but her heart racing with apprehension¡ªthe dissection of the gallbladder triangle was too terrible, proving extremely difficult to separate!


    Even the veteran teachers from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiangya might not necessarily¡­?


    Was Chen Cang being too reckless?


    How dare he take on such a surgically challenging case!


    Wasn¡¯t this just looking for trouble?


    Chen Cang was not discouraged; instead, he had a burst of inspiration, picked up the electrosurgical hook, and started by freeing the gallbladder from its liver bed.


    Then he continued to dissect towards the triangular area, after freeing the gallbladder from the liver bed, he carefully dealt with the cystic duct and cystic artery inside the triangle.


    At this moment, Zhou Xiaodong felt so anxious watching that his hands holding the camera began to sweat!


    It was too dangerous¡­


    Zhou Xiaodong couldn¡¯t help but turn his head to look at Chen Cang, who seemed unfazed, as calm and composed as a gentle breeze or still water.


    His actions were very delicate, a push, a nudge, a coagulation, a separation, just right!


    The technique was incredibly clever.


    Zhou Xiaodong watched, utterly astonished¡­


    Finally!


    After nearly twenty minutes, he successfully freed the gallbladder triangle!


    It was a success!


    Once the gallbladder triangle was separated, the surgery was practically half done!


    It was so difficult!


    Zhou Xiaodong looked up at Chen Cang, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    How could he have separated it?


    That was so strong!


    Zhou Xiaodong watched Chen Cang meticulously continue the next step of the surgery and found himself momentarily spellbound.


    Because¡­ at that moment, Chen Cang seemed to embody a chief physician, whose composed and confident demeanor captivated everyone in the room, from the nurses to Zhou Xiaodong and even Qin Yue!


    Qin Yue¡¯s wide eyes blinked, her gaze flickering with admiration that screamed: Chen Cang is freaking awesome (voice crack)!


    The process looked simple, but it was actually incredibly complex, and every step taken by Chen Cang was awkward. If it weren¡¯t for the constant prompts from the system, he couldn¡¯t have done it.


    This gallbladder was a level 45 boss monster, while he was only a level 15 junior resident. It wasn¡¯t supposed to be so easy!


    This wasn¡¯t just a mismatch in levels; a slight misstep could have caused further injury to the patient.


    Mirrizi syndrome is generally not something a regular doctor at a tertiary hospital could handle; at minimum, it required someone of Zhang Youfu¡¯s caliber.


    Now came the most crucial work!


    Chen Cang first made an incision at the gallbladder¡¯s Hartmann¡¯s pouch and suctioned out the bile.


    Then he removed the impacted stone!


    The stone was large, lodged in the neck, a full 20mm!


    Seeing the stone removed, Zhou Xiaodong¡¯s heart, thumping wildly, finally settled.


    The remainder of the surgery was the removal of the gallbladder, dissecting toward the right side of the common bile duct. If Hartmann¡¯s pouch was densely adhered to the right side wall of the common bile duct, that portion of the gallbladder wall was preserved, and the gallbladder mucosa was cauterized¡­


    The surgery proceeded smoothly, the hardest part was over, and the rest of the work was simple!


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have defeated a level 45 boss gallbladder monster! Experience +3000; Cholecystectomy experience +5000 (continue to level up to master); RMB +3000; You have obtained: a pair of Stern¡¯s gloves.]


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have leveled up to 16! Skill point +1!]


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have leveled up to 17! Skill point +1!]


    Chen Cang was stunned, he had leveled up twice in a row.


    Mainly because he was already close to leveling up, the 3000 experience immediately brought him up to level 17!


    He now had 7 skill points.


    The surgery was completed!


    It was close, but without incident.


    Zhou Xiaodong felt as if he had been drained of all strength, overwhelmed by the feeling of a narrow escape. He was at a loss for words to express the excitement in his heart!


    Words failed to convey his inner turmoil!


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Cang, it was difficult to imagine what would have happened.


    The patient had been in grave danger, and he would have certainly been held accountable, perhaps for a lifetime!


    [Ding! Zhou Xiaodong¡¯s favorability +20!]


    Raising his head to look at Chen Cang, Zhou Xiaodong took his hands and, with a determined gaze, sincerely said, ¡°Doctor Chen! Thank you, truly! You¡¯ve saved the patient and also saved me, preserving my career. I can¡¯t thank you enough for this time. I owe you a great debt, and should you ever need my help, just say the word!¡±


    Fortunately, Zhou Xiaodong was articulate and said a lot. If it had been Sister Xiao, a straight-up ¡®second parents¡¯ would¡¯ve sufficed!


    Chen Cang smiled: ¡°It¡¯s nothing, we¡¯re all colleagues. Go wash up and clock out!¡±


    It was already 1 o¡¯clock in the morning, and if it hadn¡¯t been for the excitement of this surgery, they would all have been dead tired by now!

    Chen Cang waved his hand, parting with Zhou Xiaodong, ¡°I¡¯m taking off first.¡± Qin Yue followed behind Chen Cang like a little tail, scurrying out after him. In the operating room, a nurse looked at Zhou Xiaodong with surprise on her face, ¡°Dr. Zhou, who is that? He seems so awesome!¡±


    Zhou Xiaodong was about to say the name when he suddenly remembered that the director seemed quite uninterested in emergency cases these days. He chuckled, ¡°A friend. Little He, you can¡¯t go spreading gossip about what happened tonight.¡±


    Nurse Little He nodded, ¡°Okay, Dr. Zhou, don¡¯t worry, but¡­ that doctor is so impressive and handsome!¡±


    Zhou Xiaodong nodded and thought back to what his teacher Qian Liang said about Chen Cang, taking a deep breath, ¡°Yep! Really impressive. Sometimes, you can¡¯t help but admire him, he¡¯s so strong that it doesn¡¯t even provoke jealousy in your heart.¡±


    ¡°Little He, do you believe in geniuses in this world?¡±


    Little He nodded, ¡°Of course, isn¡¯t ¡®Super Brain¡¯ full of them?¡±


    Zhou Xiaodong chuckled noncommittally, ¡°Actually, sometimes I feel that some people are just born for that bowl of rice. That guy just now is a genius! A genuine, bona fide surgical prodigy!¡±


    With that thought, Zhou Xiaodong let out a deep sigh!


    Having dealt with Chen Cang twice, both times filled with a sense of defeat¡­ Damn, that guy is a real freak. Better to steer clear of him in the future and save myself the grief.


    Even with complex Mirrizi syndrome, he seems perfectly at ease. It¡¯s hard to imagine that he¡¯s just two years out of undergrad.


    Thinking back on the surgery process, Zhou Xiaodong found it somewhat unbelievable and astonishing.


    With that, he copied the video of the surgery from the television, planning to watch it carefully when he got home!


    The video of a master surgeon is the most precious manual for any surgeon.


    Chen Cang dropped Qin Yue home.


    All the way home, Qin Yue was babbling nonstop!


    ¡°Chen Cang, you¡¯re so awesome!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang, how did you do it?¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang, are you a genius?¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang, have you hacked the system?¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang¡­¡±


    Finally managing to send the little fan home, Chen Cang trudged wearily toward his own place.


    The night was serene, not a soul in sight, and Chen Cang wandered aimlessly down the street.


    Suddenly, the system notification tone rang out:


    [Mentor¡¯s Guidance: Your gait is irregular, and the way you walk affects your health¡­ Over time, it may impact your lumbar spine. Follow the guidance for walking, left foot¡­ right foot¡­ 121¡­]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    What the hell?


    Mentor¡¯s Guidance, you take care of surgeries, now you manage how I walk too?


    All the way home, Chen Cang corrected his stride and posture in accordance with Mentor¡¯s Guidance.


    He went to the bathroom upon arriving home.


    [Mentor¡¯s Guidance, your urination method is not correct, the right way is¡­


    ¡°Mirror¡± style¡­]


    Chen Cang: &%£¤#@£¤


    Too exhausted to complain, now you¡¯re micromanaging my peeing, too?


    Can I turn it off?


    Unfortunately, after much fuss, he couldn¡¯t turn it off¡­


    Damn, this is trouble. Can¡¯t turn it off without wasting it, you know. Mentor¡¯s Guidance only lasts for 10 days, and it would be a shame to squander it. Looks like I¡¯ll have to perform more surgeries starting tomorrow, especially the challenging ones.


    Lying in bed, after struggling with Mentor¡¯s Guidance for quite some time, Chen Cang finally adjusted to a comfortable lying position.


    Turing on the virtual screen, Chen Cang suddenly realized a problem!


    That was a progress bar added to my ¡°Gallbladder Removal Surgery1!


    The progress bar was showing one-tenth!


    Chen Cang hurriedly got up. Could it be¡­ To break through to the master level, did he need to tackle more challenging surgeries?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang felt it made a lot of sense; after all, repeating simple surgeries would never truly improve one¡¯s skills.


    That¡¯s right!


    He had defeated a boss monster today and got a piece of equipment as a drop!


    It seemed to be gloves, right?


    However¡­ Chen Cang noticed something different, the gloves actually had a name, they were called the Stern Gloves.


    When he saw the attributes, Chen Cang was dumbfounded!


    [Stern Gloves: Blue; After wearing the gloves: Dexterity +2; Stamina Stability


    +2; Strength +2;]


    A godsend, right?


    This was definitely one of the boss monsters in the newbie village?


    And it dropped blue equipment.


    Having three attributes, and each one at +2, truly a little gem.


    But-


    After analyzing the attributes thoroughly, Chen Cang got greedy¡­ Could these only be worn on the hands? Couldn¡¯t they be worn elsewhere? After all, such good attributes!


    Dexterity!


    Stamina!


    Strength!


    So good!


    That night, without further discussion, Chen Cang had a dream.


    In the dream, he was playing with his girlfriend, but the ¡°Master¡¯s Guidance¡± kept telling him that his posture, method, speed, frequency, etc., were all wrong, and thus he spent the entire night learning.


    The next day, Chen Cang woke up feeling exhausted.


    Wang Yong had been as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood, arriving early at the hospital to bustle around. When Chen Cang arrived, Wang Yong fawned over him and said:


    ¡°Teacher Cang, I¡¯ve finished all the work. Can I go do surgery now?


    Chen Cang was baffled. ¡°What did you call me?¡±


    Wang Yong said as if it were a matter of course, ¡°Teacher Cang, right?!


    Chen Cang winced, ¡°Pick another one; that one¡­ can easily be misinterpreted. When Li Baoshan made his rounds, his expression was rather complicated, ¡°These past few days, we¡¯ve done quite well with the gallbladder surgeries, especially Chen Cang, who played an indelible role. Wang Yong also did quite well, but¡­ it seems there have been fewer gallbladder patients in the past two days, not as many as before.¡±


    If Zhang Youfu had been there, he would definitely want to curse in frustration: Showing off, are they?


    Li Baoshan continued, ¡°So, I¡¯ve negotiated with the head of the 120 emergency center, and we have decided to open our emergency surgery room to hospitals that are unable to perform gallbladder removal surgeries, offering a green channel for transferring patients. Everyone, let¡¯s brace ourselves in the upcoming days and show off the spirit of our Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s emergency department!¡±


    Upon hearing this, both Wang Yong and Chen Gang¡¯s eyes lit up, somewhat excited.


    After all, Wang Yong had recently become addicted to performing gallbladder removals, seemingly having an endless amount of energy, wishing he could stay at the surgical table 24 hours a day. These days, he worked on surgeries at his job, studied case histories after work, and read books and watched videos at home, keeping very busy!


    Even the mobile games and the bookmarked websites in his browser were rarely touched now!


    It seems the surgery had a significant impact, at least it could help kick gaming and sex addictions¡­


    And Chen Cang was happy too, the ¡°Master¡¯s Guidance¡± only lasted for ten days, and he couldn¡¯t bear to waste even a minute away from the surgical table. Three surgeries in the morning, one by Chen Cang, one by old Chen.


    Old Chen seemed very tired these days, after all, a man in his forties, he couldn¡¯t keep up with a young man in his twenties.


    Chen Cang saw old Chen¡¯s exhausted appearance: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Mr. Chen? Not feeling well?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng looked up at Chen Cang and smiled, ¡°No issue, just tired. Haven¡¯t rested well lately. Ready for surgery? Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Saying that, he took the lead and headed towards the operating room.

    Translator: 549690339


    ¡°Chen collapsed during the surgery!¡±


    When this news reached Chen Gang¡¯s ears, he virtually didn¡¯t react and ran straight toward the operating room!


    Chen¡¯s surgery was the first one of the day, and next door, Director An was also performing a surgery. There were three surgeries scheduled for OR 8 that morning, and Chen Cang was just finishing helping Director An stitch up a tendon.


    As soon as the news of Chen¡¯s collapse came, Director An didn¡¯t react at all, continuing to suture the severed finger, whereas Chen Gang¡¯s face turned pale, and he turned around and ran out.


    Chen Cang was an assistant, so he left, but An Yanjun was the chief surgeon, so at this time, even if there was a fight outside, he had to complete the surgery, undistracted!


    With a panic-stricken face and mind full of urgency, Chen Cang arrived next door to see Chen lying on the ground, as white as a sheet, even his breathing was weak!


    He rushed to check on him!


    At this moment, [Mirror] began a full scan of Chen.


    [Examination complete. Patient¡¯s fainting is diagnosed as a cardiac syncope. The patient¡¯s long-term fatigue has caused inadequate cardiac blood supply, leading to transient cerebral ischemia. Recommendation: Improve circulation, increase blood supply, oxygen inhalation, oral administration: flunarizine¡­] Hearing the system prompt, Chen Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief!


    Thank goodness it wasn¡¯t anything serious!


    However, the nurses for the emergency surgery were already becoming panicked.


    After all, the emergency surgery department had only been established for a few days, and these nurses had never encountered such situations, becoming completely disorganized!


    Chen Cang quickly got up and began delegating tasks, calling the free nurses outside to come in and lift Chen onto the bed.


    Chen was limp on the ground, seemingly without any strength, and the nurses were clumsy. A trolley was already brought over, and for the first time, Chen Cang felt a surge of concern and panic: ¡°Chen! Chen! Are you alright?¡± With weakly opened eyes, Chen looked up, saw it was Chen Cang, and suddenly grabbed Chen Gang¡¯s hand: ¡°Go perform the surgery quickly, there was a slight issue when I fainted just now, you need to check on it!¡±


    Chen¡¯s voice was very faint, none of the nurses knew what the problem was, only Chen Cang heard it loud and clear.


    Chen Cang hurriedly phoned the emergency department¡¯s Wang Yong: ¡°Wang Yong, Teacher Chen has fainted, you come down here quick, it might be a cardiac-induced insufficient blood supply, causing transient cerebral ischemia¡­¡±


    After making the call, Chen Cang turned around, just in time to see the image on the big screen. His face changed, and he quickly stood up: ¡°The nurses from the recent surgery, don¡¯t go anywhere, wait for Wang Yong to come and take Chen to the intensive care unit, then help me continue with the surgery!¡± Hearing Chen Gang¡¯s words, everyone suddenly had a sense of reliance, quickly nodding. Chen was lifted onto the bed to lie flat, and they placed the oxygen bag from the OR on Chen.


    The surgery had to continue quickly, otherwise, the patient might have complications!


    They had to change their clothes and gloves!


    A group of people hurriedly changed into new clothes and resumed the surgery!


    Wang Yong ran into the OR out of breath, wearing his shoes, with the head nurse of the OR shouting after him: ¡°Which department are you from, who let you run in here with your shoes on!¡±


    Wang Yong couldn¡¯t be bothered with anything else; upon entering the OR, he saw Chen lying on the trolley!


    Seeing this, Chen Cang turned and said: ¡°Send him to the resuscitation room immediately, prepare Cerebrolysin and Dextrose, urgently check the complete blood count, and additionally, administer flunarizine orally¡­¡±


    Wang Yong nodded, pushing Chen away.


    And for Chen Cang, the most difficult part was yet to come!


    Chen had left him quite a mess!


    By now, the news of Chen¡¯s collapse had spread through all the ORs, and many people came out to see what was happening, while doctors from other departments were about to enter the OR to look.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang turned to the nurse and said: ¡°Close the door, and let no one in!¡±


    The nurse was slightly taken aback, but seeing Chen Gang¡¯s serious expression, she nodded too.


    Those outside squinted their eyes when they saw the door close.


    The general surgery department was there too. Duan Bo had just completed his surgery and came out to hear about Chen¡¯s fainting, only to find the door to the opposite OR already shut.


    ¡°Open the door!¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and open the door!¡±


    At this moment, the head of the proctology department and Duan Bo from general surgery shouted at the nurse.


    Chen Cang ignored them and calmly continued the operation!


    Because of Chen Bingsheng¡¯s recent faint, a major incident was nearly caused if others learned about it, Chen Bingsheng would be finished. Chen Cang had to complete the operation successfully and ensure no one found out.


    It was an emergency!


    If it fell into the hands of others, it would become fodder for gossip.


    Chen Bingsheng is only forty, young and strong with a limitless future. If others got hold of this incident, he would be done for.


    Chen Cang said to the nurse, ¡°Just tell them Chen Bingsheng has already handed the operation over to me and that they shouldn¡¯t worry!¡±


    The nurse nodded and turned to the crowd, ¡°Dr. Chen Bingsheng has already handed over the surgery to Dr. Chen Cang. Everyone, please do not disrupt the operation!¡±


    Looking at the situation within the patient¡¯s surgical field, Chen Cang took a deep breath!


    Taking out the endoscope, he said to the nurse, ¡°Hand me the scalpel, we¡¯re converting to an open surgery!¡±


    The patient had acute inflammation of the gallbladder with chronic atrophy.


    The anatomy of Calot¡¯s triangle was unclear, making it impossible to discern the relationship between the cystic duct and the common bile duct. The cystic duct opened into the right hepatic duct, with the opening in the left side of the common bile duct, with low confluence of the left and right hepatic ducts; the cystic duct was short and thick, conditions that during severe inflammation could easily lead to accidental injury of the common bile duct or right hepatic duct.


    Even though Chen Bingsheng had tried his best when he fainted, the electrosurgical hook still accidentally damaged the bile duct!


    Now they had no choice but to convert to open surgery!


    After opening the abdomen, Chen Cang carefully dissected the normal bile duct above and below the injury plane.


    Next, he had to perform an end-to-end anastomosis; the bile duct needed reconstruction.


    Chen Cang said softly, ¡°Number five Prolene suture.¡±


    The nurse quickly nodded and handed it over!


    Chen Cang stitched meticulously. He had to ensure the patient was without a single fault -not just for the patient¡¯s sake, but also for Chen Bingsheng¡¯s.


    After the suturing was completed, he could then continue with the subsequent surgery.


    Inside the operating room, the atmosphere was tense and solemn; nobody had their usual casualness and relaxation.


    This was the most dreadful thing.


    An operating room is a serious place, but once everyone becomes silent, it might mean that the operation is incredibly difficult and no one can be sure of its success.


    Better to have a more relaxed atmosphere than that.


    The sound of medical instruments beeped consistently.


    Chen Cang finally completed the subsequent surgery!


    He breathed a sigh of relief.


    Nurse Cui Rongrong couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Dr. Chen, is everything all right?¡±


    Chen Cang paused. ¡°All right? What do you mean?¡±


    Cui Rongrong: ¡°The surgery¡­ just now, everything went okay?¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly smiled. ¡°Nothing at all. Chen Bingsheng already did most of the surgery. I simply finished up.¡±


    The nurses were not familiar with the surgical process, and Chen Cang didn¡¯t want too many people to know, so he simply told a lie..

    Jin Qingzhi insisted on giving him a ride.


    Unable to decline his persistent hospitality, Chen Cang had no choice but to accept.


    The car, which had come from the capital, bore a Beijing license plate.


    Chen Cang sat in the back seat, somewhat impatient to examine the items he had just acquired.


    Chen Cang faintly saw a blue item emerge.


    [Ding! Successful IV38 rare suturing of a duodenal fistula yields: 1. Special Training xi; 2. Intestinal Anastomosis Experience +300; 3. Clinical Experience +150; RMB +300.]


    [Ding! Successful IV35 rare excision of cholecystitis with gallstones yields: 1. Emergency Abdominal Condition Training xi; 2. Cholecystectomy Experience +300; 3. Clinical Experience +150; RMB +300.]


    The Skill Book radiated a blue glow, while the Emergency Abdominal Condition Training shone in green.


    Basing on Chen Gang¡¯s experience these past few days, he inferred that blue items were definitely better than green, and green items were better than white.


    Eagerly, he opened the Skill Book.


    [Ding! Special Training: Limited to Intestinal Anastomosis, upon use, randomly acquires a kind of special effect training, which, after completion and passing the assessment, will endow your Intestinal Anastomosis technique with this special effect.]


    Overjoyed, Chen Cang immediately chose to activate it!


    [Ding! Congratulations on acquiring: Adhesion Reduction Special Effect Training. Would you like to begin training?]


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded!


    The system¡­


    What happened to getting results without effort?


    What happened to instantly gaining skills?


    Why has it turned into training and exams now?


    Chen Cang felt an overwhelming urge to cry without tears.


    For medical students, there are two inescapable things in this lifetime:


    One is the annual academic credits required!


    The other is the occasional tests they have to take.


    Why is it often advised against pursuing a career in medicine?


    Because not only is the five years in university exhausting, the three years as a graduate student are even more so, and three years of doctoral studies are dog- tired exhausting. After graduation, entering the workforce adds exhaustion upon exhaustion, right?


    High school seniors?


    In your senior year of high school, you just study from books; at least, you are not expected to create anything.


    But what about studying medicine?


    You have to conduct research projects, experiments, and write papers.


    If you say you¡¯re too exhausted to do it, that¡¯s fine too; at worst, you just won¡¯t get a promotion. You could be a senior attending physician forever, or if you¡¯re really unlucky, even a senior resident physician isn¡¯t out of the question.


    The system, oh the system, is undoubtedly born of the medical field itself.


    How nice would it be to have effortless enlightenment?


    Now it has all turned into training and more training.


    Chen Cang felt an urge to cry without tears¡­


    Having obtained two great items today, Chen Cang hadn¡¯t expected both to involve training.


    One was special effect training.


    The other was training for the diagnosis and treatment of acute abdominal conditions.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang took a deep breath.


    Since it was boring just sitting in the car, and he had nothing to talk about with Jin Qingzhi, the big boss, it would be better to go into training.


    With this thought, he casually chose to activate it, and the scene in front of Chen Cang changed.


    He reappeared at the operating table.


    [Ding! Intestinal Anastomosis Special Effect Adhesion Reduction Training: Each time suturing is completed, a score will be given, and reasons will be analyzed. Please begin¡­ Countdown: 100 hours.]


    Another hundred hours.


    Training it is¡­


    Intestinal adhesion occurs due to various reasons causing abnormal attachments between intestines, between intestines and the peritoneum, or between intestines and other organs within the abdominal cavity.


    In clinical practice, intestinal surgery is the most common cause of such adhesions, with many abdominal surgeries resulting in at least some degree of adhesion.


    Severe intestinal adhesions can even cause serious acute abdominal conditions like adhesive intestinal obstruction, which may endanger life!


    Therefore, this training is quite necessary, though the patients may not necessarily notice any difference. Yet, for something that benefits the patients, Chen Cang didn¡¯t mind learning more.


    After all¡­ the highest calling of medicine is to serve the country and the people!


    Yes, that¡¯s quite fitting.


    Actually, many times, the differences between doctors might not be noticeable to the patients. Some doctors, seeking short-term results, indeed manage to win over a large number of patients, but in the long run, such treatment may not be in the patients¡¯ best interests.


    While other doctors do a lot of work during surgery, the patients may not necessarily be able to see it, just like Chen Gang¡¯s adhesion reduction work. Perhaps patients won¡¯t feel any difference in a short time, within a few years, and might even take it for granted.


    Training began, and Chen Cang started his first suture.


    Ding! Suturing complete, score -20 points, intraoperative bleeding and effusion occurred, increasing adhesion.


    Chen Cang almost vomited blood!


    There were negative scores?


    He continued¡­


    Ding! Suturing complete, score -10 points, intraoperative congestive edema occurred, increasing adhesion¡­


    Chen Cang realized how mediocre he was, absolutely terrible.


    In fact, it was not Chen Gang¡¯s fault; intestinal anastomosis was different from the skin. As an internal environment, once damaged, it affected both sides: the interior of the intestine and the exterior. Moreover, the intestine had various neurovascular pathways, which were not as straightforward as skin, muscle, or tendons.


    As time ticked away, Chen Gang¡¯s suturing score was getting higher and higher, and his speed increased as well.


    The scores were continuously improving.


    Yet the operating environment was too peculiar, and Chen Cang had seen too many different scenes, with plenty of instances where feces filled the abdominal cavity¡­


    Chen Cang had to learn how to handle these various settings and complete the intestinal anastomosis, ultimately finishing the surgery.


    A hundred hours flew by in the blink of an eye.


    Chen Cang was quite gifted, and he finally scored 80 points!


    Ding! Assessment passed, your intestinal anastomosis technique has gained a special effect +1: Reduce adhesions.


    Intestinal Anastomosis Technique: Advanced; Special Effects: 1. Durability; 2. Reduce Adhesions;


    Pleased with the two special effects, Chen Cang let out a sigh of relief, his hard work had not been in vain!


    Seeing this, Jin Qingzhi thought Chen Cang was tired and said with gratitude, ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, nothing at all, but I¡¯m going to have to trouble Mr. Jin to give me a ride.¡±


    Jin Qingzhi quickly shook his head, ¡°That¡¯s the least I can do. Dr. Chen, you performed surgery on my father; frankly, you saved my father¡¯s life. Driving you to work is nothing, even giving you a car wouldn¡¯t be too much.¡±


    Chen Cang joked, ¡°If you gave me a car, I wouldn¡¯t dare to accept it!¡±


    They both laughed heartily, lightening the mood significantly.


    Suddenly, Jin Qingzhi pulled out a business card from his pocket, ¡°Mr. Chen, here¡¯s my card. If you ever need anything, make sure to give me a call.¡±


    Chen Cang took it and looked; it was a very exquisite card that read, ¡°Qingyun Culture and Media ¨C Jin Qingzhi.¡±


    So he was in cultural media?


    Upon seeing this, Chen Cang felt that it was quite possible they could be in touch in the future¡­


    His younger brother, Chen Luo, was still working as an extra in Hengdian.


    At this thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Chen Luo had always been the one his parents couldn¡¯t stop worrying about. Eight years younger than Chen Cang, he was nineteen this year and had just gotten into university.


    Unlike Chen Cang, Chen Luo had always been a handful, never fond of studying. Influenced by Hong Kong and Taiwanese gangster films, he often got into trouble at school and, upon hearing that poor grades could lead to an art student exception, suddenly took up acting with gusto. He would watch TV performances all day and, during vacations, work as an extra in places like Hengdian.


    Aspiring to be a movie star was something that would be laughed at if mentioned in a rural area.


    But Chen Luo was more stubborn than Chen Cang; when he set his mind on something, it was hard to back down.


    In any family, there¡¯s always one who is obedient and one who is not.


    Chen Cang was the obedient child, while Chen Luo was somewhat rebellious.


    After struggling on his own for a while, Chen Luo realized that getting into prestigious drama schools like Zhongxi or Shanghai Theater Academy was impossible. However, he did apply to Dongyang Media College, an institution somewhere between a junior and a four-year college.


    That was considered university too.


    After finishing the college entrance examination, he packed his bags and went straight to Hengdian, infuriating Chen Dahai.


    After the results were announced, Chen Luo scored 300 points. With an admission requirement of only 250 for the cultural score in the acting department, he was indeed accepted.


    School started on September 10, and whether the family had enough money for the tuition was another worry.


    With this on his mind, Chen Cang decided to call Chen Luo that evening; it had been a while since the young man had called him, hadn¡¯t it?


    Taking advantage of some free time, Chen Cang covered all the training for acute abdomen in one go.


    Compared to surgical training,


    the training for acute abdomen was essentially differential diagnosis, allowing one to classify acute abdominal conditions based on various signs, physiological and biochemical indices, imaging data, etc., and to provide a diagnostic and treatment plan.


    Diagnosing acute abdomen is a critical skill for emergency physicians and is very challenging.


    Because it¡¯s hard to make a diagnosis based on the patient¡¯s symptoms alone, various tests are necessary.


    When facing such diseases, the most important thing is to make a quick diagnosis, treat the cause, and, if necessary, undertake exploratory surgery. This greatly tests the skill level of emergency physicians!


    This time, it wasn¡¯t 100 hours; an instructor provided explanations and helped Chen Cang with the differential diagnosis.


    Ding! Acquired Diagnostics and Treatment of Acute Abdomen: Advanced; (Passive Skill)

 Chapter 116 - Chapter 116: Chapter 116: When I was a doctor, you were still in elementary school!

    Chapter 116: Chapter 116: When I was a doctor, you were still in elementary school!


    Translator: 549690339


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s considerations, the woman frowned all at once.


    ¡°Doctor, you must be joking, right? Other than his stomach and intestines, my father is in good health. During the colon surgery three years ago, the experts from the provincial People¡¯s Hospital even said my father was in good shape. It can¡¯t be. I know about intestinal obstruction! How could it be so serious?¡±


    The woman was somewhat incredulous and even looked at Chen Cang with a bit of unprofessionalism in her eyes, subtly beginning to doubt him.


    ¡°I also studied medicine initially and now work in a pharmaceutical company. I understand medicine too. By the way, young doctor, is your director around? Director Li Baoshan, I know him.¡± The woman¡¯s words were very direct, making it clear she didn¡¯t trust Chen Cang. Maybe she didn¡¯t really know Li Baoshan and was just mentioning it to intimidate Chen Cang, but her intention was to find the director. You¡¯re not good enough, step aside, I don¡¯t believe you!


    At that statement, Chen Cang sighed deeply.


    Seeing the woman¡¯s ignorant and self-assured expression and tone, Chen Cang understood it was impossible to continue a deep and meaningful communication with her.


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°The director has gone to surgery, but¡­ big sister, the patient has a history of abdominal surgery, so acute intestinal obstruction needs to be considered even more.¡±


    The woman looked at Chen Cang, her face devoid of smiles, ¡°Impossible, he just ate a few dumplings, how could it be so serious! Does rectal bleeding necessarily mean colon cancer? What kind of logic is that¡­¡±


    At this moment, the scene became rather awkward!


    On one side was the anxious and serious Chen Cang, and on the other side, the skeptical and blindly confident family member.


    After some effort, Chen Cang checked the elderly man¡¯s vital signs and electrocardiogram first thing.


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Let¡¯s not argue whether it¡¯s an intestinal obstruction right now. I suggest we do an abdominal CT first. Then everything will become clear.¡±


    Actually, the master¡¯s instruction had already provided a diagnosis, which was acute intestinal obstruction.


    But Chen Cang couldn¡¯t say that; he could only suggest doing a CT to see.


    Moreover, an abdominal CT was absolutely necessary. Especially considering the high suspicion of acute intestinal obstruction, in fact, for an elderly person with unclear posture and signs, an abdominal CT can also rule out other diseases like acute cholecystitis, acute pancreatitis, acute appendicitis, etc.


    Unfortunately, he was dealing with this seemingly cultured and refined daughter who had also studied medicine.


    Doctors sometimes especially dread ¡°medical¡± patients.


    Because they know a little about everything, yet they know nothing at all.


    You don¡¯t understand what you should, yet you understand what you shouldn¡¯t.


    This is very troublesome.


    As soon as the woman heard they needed to do a CT, her brows furrowed, and she even stopped calling him doctor, saying directly, ¡°Kid, he just has an upset stomach. And look at you, ECG, monitors¡­ everything has been checked, and you¡¯ve found nothing wrong, yet now you want to do a CT. Are we going to do an MRI next, or maybe even a PET-CT?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a simple gastroenteritis. Just prescribe some medication and that will do.¡±


    Chen Cang frowned, ¡°Acute intestinal obstruction is very dangerous. Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?¡±


    The woman¡¯s eyebrows shot up, and she got angry all at once, ¡°lam his daughter, who else should take responsibility if not me?¡±


    Chen Cang made several serious explanations, but the other party remained the same, not changing her initial stance, even saying directly, ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll sign the papers. I¡¯ll take all the consequences upon myself!¡±


    ¡°You young folks are getting worse by the day. Can¡¯t you diagnose without machines anymore? With all this testing you do, no wonder patients complain. Back in my days, we didn¡¯t have all these issues. When I was practicing medicine, you were still in elementary school!¡±


    Actually, the profession of a doctor is quite strange. People have a lot of presence on their own turf.


    But, when doctors are in their own hospital, wearing white coats, even though it¡¯s their territory, they still have to act the part of the subservient.


    Chen Cang shook his head silently.


    Even though the family member was willing to sign the papers and take all responsibility, and even claimed Chen Cang was incompetent, no matter what, he still had to do his best to retain them. After all¡­ the elderly man is innocent, life is innocent.


    And there was one more thing!


    Once something went wrong, many family members had every reason to say righteously, ¡°We don¡¯t understand, that¡¯s why we came to the hospital. You¡¯re the doctor, don¡¯t you understand?¡±


    Similar situations happened frequently, and Chen Cang had even encountered family members who said, ¡°You¡¯re the doctor, you have the expertise, why didn¡¯t you insist on us getting the examination?¡±


    The woman didn¡¯t continue to make a scene. She got up and throughout the process, she didn¡¯t swear once; her voice wasn¡¯t even raised; she behaved very ¡°cultured.¡±


    The woman turned around and pushed the old man away gracefully, ¡°We¡¯re going to the emergency department at Dongda First Hospital.¡±


    After saying that, she left.


    Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they went to a hospital, maybe after they saw the experts at Dongda First Hospital, they would follow the expert¡¯s advice.


    An interlude, and Chen Cang continued with his work.


    In the afternoon, 120 delivered several patients with acute abdomen acute cholecystitis one after another, and Chen Cang followed them into surgery.


    It was past eight in the evening by the time Chen Cang finished the surgeries and came out.


    By then, the progress bar for his breakthrough in cholecystectomy skills had already moved past halfway.


    Maybe after a few more surgeries, he could be promoted to master level.


    Now, with ¡°Expert Guidance,¡± everything was manageable for Chen Cang, but without it, facing those complicated cases again, Chen Cang felt that mere advanced cholecystectomy skills would be inadequate.


    The gap between master level skills and advanced skills is definitely not just a simple difference in effectiveness.


    It¡¯s even about how one handles special cases¡ªwith composure, thought process, and choice.


    After the surgeries, Chen Cang, still wearing his mask, went back to the emergency department, where Wang Qian was on the night shift.


    After greeting him, Chen Cang returned home.


    He had been moving out over the past few days, and the old house was pretty much emptied out. Tomorrow is Saturday, and after tidying up, Chen Cang was preparing to pack up and leave Damacun, taking the chance to bid farewell to the landlady.


    This might be the last night he spent here.


    Chen Cang was somewhat sentimental.


    It wasn¡¯t the house or the bed he longed for.


    But rather, he was reflective of the tough two years he¡¯d endured.


    People who emerge from hard times are always like this.


    After freshening up, he went down to grab a bite to eat.


    Now, Damacun was nowhere near as bustling as it used to be, with everyone gradually moving away and the small eateries no longer in business.


    Even the place where he frequently had Kung Pao chicken, Old He¡¯s place, was closed.


    This urban village, already somewhat shabby, suddenly aged further, resembling the elderly person wearing fancy clothes who was pushed into the hospital today.


    Perhaps these dilapidated self-built houses would bring considerable wealth to many of his descendants, allowing them to live refined lives, in affluence.


    But they¡­ ultimately vanished into this bustling city.


    Under the cover of night, the streetlights were all broken.


    The road was still littered with garbage, with worn mattresses and blankets, broken wooden beds and cabinets, as well as the toys of children.


    Because there was no place for them in the brand-new buildings, even the clean elevator-serviced apartments contained more brand-new items.


    Those about to become wealthy didn¡¯t care about these old furnishings anymore.


    Chen Cang noticed that today, there were many more stray dogs here, perhaps they were the lives left behind.


    It seems as though they too were about to fade from here along with the memories of their old masters.


    Maybe, they would manage to witness Damacun¡¯s houses collapse and see new buildings rise up.


    Chen Cang left the village, and outside was a brand-new world, lively with people bustling to and fro, a stream of headlights and a steady flow of traffic.


    PS: Added an update today, thanks for your powerful support, guys¡ªmy updates have to keep up!


    Dear mighty readers, I really have no drafts left, don¡¯t believe me? Just try and see¡­


    Oh, and another thing, I saw that the tenth place on the new book monthly ticket leaderboard has 2800 votes. We¡¯ve done 800 votes in one day; you guys are awesome! I¡¯m impressed, and I¡¯m thinking, couldn¡¯t we take the tenth place and mix it up on the new book leaderboard?


    Boldly asking for monthly tickets.


    Let¡¯s take a stroll through the new book leaderboards.


    Would you, dear readers, be so kind?


    If so, I¡¯d be very grateful!


    When I wake up tomorrow, I will post results and acknowledgments for the donations at noon.

 Chapter 117 - Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Xiao Tianhuas Gratitude (Seeking Subscriptions)

    Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Xiao Tianhua¡¯s Gratitude (Seeking Subscriptions)


    Translator: 549690339 |


    The new apartment wasn¡¯t as spacious as the first one, and it was smaller in size, but the lighting and ventilation were good. It took all morning to tidy up, and in the afternoon I still had to go to Zhang Zhixin¡¯s place.


    Around noon, Chen Gang¡¯s phone rang.


    ¡°Bro, have you had lunch?¡±


    Recognizing the voice as his younger brother Chen Luo¡¯s, which always carried a hint of cheerfulness.


    Chen Cang and Chen Luo inherited their mother¡¯s looks; they were both very handsome.


    ¡°Just did, when are you coming home?¡±


    Chen Luo laughed, ¡°Wait a bit longer. These past few days I¡¯ve been following a crowd scene and have had acting work every day. Yesterday, I even had a scene where I spoke a line! I asked around, and the movie is this year¡¯s New Year¡¯s blockbuster! A big production called ¡® Riverside Family¡¯. I have no idea if my scene will make the final cut.¡±


    Chen Luo never complained to others, even when he got beaten up at school, he would return home with a smile claiming victory.


    Chen Cang said, ¡°It must be tiring, right? Do you have enough money? You¡¯re still growing, don¡¯t skimp on food!¡±


    Chen Luo burst into laughter, ¡°Bro, you don¡¯t know me at all. I get along well with everyone wherever I go. The lady in charge of logistics thinks well of me and sometimes adds a chicken leg to my meal when I¡¯m having a boxed lunch; I even feel like I¡¯ve gained weight!¡±


    ¡°Plus, I¡¯ve been having some good luck recently. I¡¯ve made quite a bit in these two months. I just checked and saved over five thousand yuan. I won¡¯t need to ask for living expenses from mom and dad this year.¡±


    ¡± By the way, bro, I was actually planning to ask you something today¡­about that student loan grant¡­¡±


    Chen Luo had been independent from a young age, working part-time jobs since high school. Though mischievous, he seldom asked his parents for money, and in financial terms, Chen Luo was more mature earlier than Chen Cang.


    With the expensive tuition fees at the School of Media and Communications, Chen Luo could only make more money during vacations and rely on student loans, so the family¡¯s burden was lessened.


    When Chen Cang heard this, he immediately said, ¡°Don¡¯t take out loans, I¡¯ve got money.¡±


    At the moment, Chen Cang had quite a bit of cash on hand, around thirty to fifty thousand, mostly from Mr. Xiao¡¯s generosity.


    The money from President Zheng was still in the stock market; Chen Cang didn¡¯t know how the system operated, but from time to time, there would be some returns.


    These returns were basically on par with Chen Gang¡¯s bonuses¡­


    Not a cent more.


    Upon reflection, Chen Cang felt quite emotional and even found it somewhat unreal, thinking about how he made more money in one month than he could have in two or three years before.


    Chen Luo couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Bro, stop showing off. With that little salary of yours, hurry up and find a sister-in-law. When I become a superstar, I¡¯ll buy you a big house.¡±


    Chen Cang replied seriously, ¡°No, I mean it. I recently got a permanent position at the provincial second hospital, and I told mom and dad about it a few days ago. My income has increased as well. Just the other day, I did a surgery and received tens of thousands for it¡ªstitching up for that Xu Ruoyun.¡±


    Hearing about Xu Ruoyun, Chen Luo¡¯s eyes widened, and the two brothers gossiped for a while.


    Chen Cang transferred ten thousand yuan to Chen Luo, but Chen Luo sent it back.


    This left Chen Cang a mix of laughter and helplessness; that kid was truly stubborn!


    After a midday nap, I headed to the cosmetic surgery clinic in the afternoon.


    After Xiao Tianhua had her cosmetic surgery, she quickly employed someone to create a logo using her likeness.


    Xiao Tianhua¡¯s business wasn¡¯t limited to the pig farm; she also had a surrounding factory that produced cooked pork products. Her products sold quite well in Dongyang Province.


    Seeing the logo on her product packaging, Xiao Tianhua felt a weight off her shoulders at last!


    In these days, the news of Xiao Tianhua¡¯s cosmetic surgery spread far and wide.


    Her friends and girlfriends became instantly envious and jealous upon seeing the results.


    This inevitably brought a shine to Xiao Tianhua¡¯s face.


    After all, being the object of envy and jealousy among women was a glorious thing!


    Among women, as friendly as their relationships might be, comparisons were inevitable, especially regarding beauty¡ªa matter women always took seriously. Everyone looked at how pretty Xiao Tianhua had made herself, and quite a few were green with envy.


    In the past few days, Xiao Tianhua was far from idle. Once the logo was set, it was time for promotion, advertising with Dongyang TV; she went there every day.


    Reporters also came to Xiao Tianhua¡¯s factory every so often.


    Post-surgery, paired with an elegant cheongsam, a simple yet stylish hairstyle, and just a touch of makeup, Xiao Tianhua¡¯s charisma was immediately evident!


    The reporter, a young woman in her twenties, couldn¡¯t help but praise her:


    ¡°President Xiao truly is a life winner! A happy family, a successful career, and you¡¯re so beautiful and chic!¡±


    If this compliment had been made half a month earlier, Xiao Tianhua would have definitely taken it as flattery, even the kind that was sycophantic and blatantly false.


    But now things were different!


    She felt that people were speaking the truth!


    Even calling her a celestial beauty was the truth!


    Even Xiao Tianhua herself felt dreamlike every day as she looked in the mirror!


    The reporter continued, ¡°President Xiao, I think no one would be better for your advertisements than yourself. With your charm, when ordinary people see it, they instantly feel reassured!¡±


    These words truly made Xiao Tianhua¡¯s heart blossom!


    And she really was tempted!


    Hiring a celebrity would cost hundreds of thousands, and her cosmetic surgery was just hundreds of thousands as well. Suddenly, Xiao Tianhua felt like she wasn¡¯t at a loss with this move!


    Shoot the advertisement, change the logo.


    Xiao Tianhua discovered a problem¡ªsales were up!


    Orders were increasing!


    This made Xiao Tianhua ecstatic.


    She immediately thought of going to Chen Cang to thank him properly.


    But then she remembered that Chen Cang, being so principled, definitely wouldn¡¯t accept money.


    After much thought, Xiao Tianhua suddenly had an inspiration, a way to kill several birds with one stone!


    The very next day, she organized a gathering among her close female friends, inviting quite a few wealthy sisters.


    They got together, eating, drinking, singing, enjoying the sauna, and getting massages.


    A whole group gazed at Xiao Tianhua admiringly, ¡°Xiao Sister? Who did your surgery? It¡¯s really good, introduce them to us, I want to give it a try too?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianhua felt secretly delighted, but she just smiled faintly, not saying much. Why?


    Of course she had to tell them, but not at that moment.


    If she told them too soon, they wouldn¡¯t take it seriously.


    Don¡¯t you understand what hunger marketing is!?


    Xiao Tianhua smiled, ¡°That was my little brother, who just happens to do this. But he¡¯s been busy lately. If you want it done, I can get in touch for you, but¡­ it won¡¯t be cheap!¡±


    No sooner had she said this than the group of wealthy women couldn¡¯t hold back.


    Looking down on whom?


    Who doesn¡¯t have someone in the family making money!


    Money was certainly not an issue for them.


    Having reached this point in the conversation, Xiao Tianhua simply smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you all the truth. You all saw my botched surgery a while back, it was a complete mess. After my brother found out, he specially designed it for me. Have you noticed? This is tailor-made, not like the off-the-rack stuff you see on sale. You all know what my face looked like before, right? I just tweaked my eyes a bit, and instantly changed my appearance!¡±


    ¡°No one calls this plastic surgery anymore, but rather ¡®micro-aesthetics¡¯! It¡¯s about enhancing your strengths and adjusting your flaws, balancing out the imperfections on your face, and bringing out your facial features. This is what the celebrities do!¡±


    As she spoke, Xiao Tianhua smiled and looked at them, ¡°Actually, I think everyone here is quite pretty, it¡¯s just that we have some flaws. But what¡¯s most important at our age? Charisma! I¡¯ve come to understand plastic surgery, saying that my eyes were done like Joey Wong¡¯s was not suitable. We need our own unique features, refining our charisma is the way to go!¡±


    This speech resonated with them!


    What woman doesn¡¯t think they¡¯re beautiful? Deep down, they all have a little princess inside!


    They would only feel that they¡¯re not pretty enough, not perfect enough!


    Xiao Tianhua¡¯s words certainly struck a chord.


    Xiao Tianhua continued, ¡°This requires a really good designer, to tailor the design for us, eliminating the rough edges and refining the details. My little brother is a top designer, often going abroad, flying here and there.¡±


    ¡°I can help everyone get a design by my brother! But¡­ he can only take one or two people a week, after all, he¡¯s quite busy! He also designs for celebrities.¡±


    Upon hearing this, a sense of mystery greatly increased!


    That¡¯s how it is with real experts, you have to make an appointment!


    At this moment, someone asked, ¡°Xiao Sister? Is it really as amazing as you say?¡±


    Xiao Tianhua smiled mysteriously and didn¡¯t speak. After a while, she slowly said, ¡°Actually, the changes on my face are there for all to see, so I won¡¯t talk about that. Let me just say this¡ª¡±


    ¡°A few days after my surgery, I took a trip to Mirror Mountain.¡±


    At these words, everyone frowned slightly, and one of the women quickly asked, ¡°Did you go to see Master Zhang?¡±


    Xiao Tianhua nodded, ¡°Yeah, but¡­ it was to fulfill a vow.¡±


    Wealthy people love to visit temples and get their fortunes told, which isn¡¯t anything out of the ordinary.


    Near An Yang City, there¡¯s Mirror Mountain, home to a Taoist temple, and in that temple lives a master skilled in physiognomy and divination. He¡¯s quite well-known among the upper circles of An Yang City, and it¡¯s a popular place for the elite to go and burn incense.


    So, when they heard Xiao Tianhua say this, they all grew curious!


    It undeniably added a lot of mystique to the story!


    Xiao Tianhua cleared her throat and continued, ¡°This time when I went, I brought quite a few live pigs. I hadn¡¯t planned on seeing Master Zhang, but after I¡¯d fulfilled my vow and was about to leave¡ª¡±


    ¡°Master Zhang saw me and stopped me, asking: who had altered my face? I was a bit stunned too, I said I just had a minor eye adjustment. And guess what Master Zhang said? He said my surgery was a success! And that this cosmetic alteration would be beneficial to my career!¡±


    As Xiao Tianhua said this, she became expressive, lowering her voice, ¡°At that moment, I didn¡¯t think much of it, but these last few days, since I changed the logo, I suddenly noticed that the sales went up immediately.¡±


    The moment everyone heard this, they were suddenly taken aback!


    Could there be such a coincidence?


    Xiao Tianhua, seeing everyone¡¯s reaction, nodded satisfied, seeing that the effect was good.


    But¡­ this matter would still require a discussion with Chen Cang.

 Chapter 121 - Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Just Thinking About It Makes My

    Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Just Thinking About It Makes My


    Kidneys Ache¡­ (Extra for Yue Z Meng)


    Translator: 549690339


    Monday is the busiest day in the hospital!


    Whether it¡¯s the outpatient department or the inpatient department, there will be a lot of patients on this day.


    In the outpatient hall of the Second Provincial Hospital, it¡¯s bustling with activity¡ªregistration, purchasing medicines, follow-up visits¡­


    And because the outpatient hall has such a large flow of people and the customer base is quite targeted, it¡¯s actually a perfect place for advertising! Many businesses had contacted the hospital to inquire if they could set up a huge screen in the outpatient hall specifically for advertisements and promised to pay the hospital a handsome sum of money.


    However, that was clearly wishful thinking and was rejected.


    After all, people come to the hospital to seek medical treatment, not to be misled by advertisements, which might even be misconstrued as the hospital¡¯s recommendation, detrimental to the patients¡¯ health.


    Plus, hospitals are public institutions, which fundamentally do not allow such practices.


    But¡­


    This idea did inspire the hospital¡¯s leadership, and so some departments began to offer free clinics in the first-floor outpatient hall regularly¡ªone to serve the patients and also to promote department specialties.


    Nurse Tian, applying the sixteen-character secret of geoinancy plus consultation of the almanac, decided on a geomantic treasure spot in the southeast direction of the outpatient hall. She placed several tables there and called for doctors from her department to come out and provide free consultations.


    Today¡¯s theme was ¡°Caring for the Digestive System¡± as well as consultations for common surgeries involving the digestive system.


    After all, many patients don¡¯t necessarily come to the hospital to be treated, they might come for consultation or to understand their conditions better, so free clinics are very convenient for serving the masses.


    Tian Xianglan had someone print a booklet of the photos organized by Qin Yue, which was piled up on the table, where she arranged for several young doctors to provide consultation services to patients.


    But suddenly, Tian Xianglan noticed that another department had set up tables in the northwest corner. She stole a glance and to her surprise, it was the General Surgery Department.


    They also promoted gallbladder and appendix health as well as preventive measures, including surgeries¡­


    There was a clash!


    At this moment, not only did Tian Xianglan realize it, but the other side also saw the emergency department and was equally taken aback.


    A nurse from the General Surgery Department hurried over: ¡°Dr. Duan, the emergency department¡­ is doing the same thing as us!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Duan Bo frowned for a moment but then smiled with relief, ¡°No worries, don¡¯t be nervous. After all, we are a specialty, we are General Surgery, they are the Emergency Department. If you need surgery, putting the two side by side, how would you choose?¡±


    The nurse nodded, ¡°Of course, General Surgery!¡±


    Duan Bo smiled, ¡°That¡¯s right! Don¡¯t worry, patients are not fools, they have their own opinions in mind!¡±


    Duan Bo looked at the bustling emergency department from afar and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. It seemed that the emergency department really didn¡¯t have many surgeries lately, they were actually coming out to seek patients.


    If this had happened on a normal day, it wouldn¡¯t have been a big issue, and they could have attracted some patients.


    But to come out today¡­ aren¡¯t you just unlucky?


    To clash with us on the same day!


    Thinking of this, Duan Bo felt like laughing.


    General Surgery had been a bit down due to the emergency department recently, and Duan Bo was looking forward to finally breathing some relief today. He felt relaxed and even thought that he could complete a few more medical records after work.


    In the morning, there were many patients, and those with later registration numbers had to wait anyway, so they might as well come down and walk around. Seeing the free clinics of both the General Surgery and Emergency Departments, everyone would go up and inquire.


    Yang Ming¡¯s wife had cholecystitis, which often flared up and was protracting. The couple thought it over and found some time to come to the hospital to consult a doctor this morning.


    Yang Ming had registered for the chief of surgery, Zhang Youfu¡¯s slot, but it was number 25, which meant waiting until around 10 o¡¯clock. Anxious, the couple decided to leave and return at 10.


    Just after going downstairs, they saw the General Surgery¡¯s free clinic and their eyes lit up, so they went over for a consultation.


    Duan Bo was quite professional and explained things very clearly and intelligibly, and he managed to persuade Yang Ming and his wife. They even registered and set a time for the procedure.


    However, just as they were about to leave, they suddenly saw another free clinic on the other side doing the same thing.


    Out of curiosity, they also walked over.


    ¡°Doctor, hello, I want to ask, aren¡¯t you and the one opposite part of the same team?¡± Yang Ming asked curiously.


    Wang Yong smiled, ¡°We are all from the same hospital, but we are not in the same department. The opposite is General Surgery, and we are the Emergency Department.¡±


    Yang Ming and his wife looked at each other, ¡°Oh¡­ is there any difference?¡±


    Wang Yong pondered for a moment, ¡°I¡¯d say each has its strengths and weaknesses. General surgery specializes in the field of surgery and has a deeper understanding of specialist diseases¡­ Emergency mainly deals with acute and severe conditions¡­ But our operating room¡­¡±


    Wang Yong explained impartially, after all, you can¡¯t badmouth the doctors and departments in front of a patient!


    Upon hearing this, Yang Ming and his wife took a seat, ¡°Then¡­ I want to consult about something, my wife has gallstones¡­ She¡¯s also busy at work and wants to have a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, can you do it here?¡±


    Wang Yong nodded and passed over a brochure, ¡°Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a specialty of our department, and we have made some improvements to the surgical techniques. You can take a look¡­ These pictures show a comparison between our department¡¯s special surgical methods and the traditional ones¡­ And in terms of recovery time, we have shortened it by a day compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery.¡±


    Wang Yong elaborated in detail.


    Yang Ming and his wife were taken aback by the brochure!


    Yang Ming¡¯s wife took out the brochure they had gotten from general surgery and compared it with the emergency department¡¯s, surely noticing the differences!


    Surgery with laparoscopy has many advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions.


    However¡­ when comparing the general surgery¡¯s photos with those of the emergency department, an apparent gap emerged!


    Yang Ming¡¯s wife quickly asked, ¡°Hey? Doctor, have these photos been beautified?¡±


    Wang Yong laughed, ¡°No, these are the research results of Dr. Chen from our department, an improvement on the traditional laparoscopic surgery. The wounds are treated in a special way that makes scars hard to find. Oh, you can go to the emergency department and consult about it.¡±


    Yang Ming¡¯s wife was suddenly interested, ¡°Is this expensive?¡±


    Wang Yong shook his head, ¡°Our hospital has unified pricing for surgeries, according to the price authority of Anyang City and the Health Commission, and the price for this special surgery is the same as that of a regular surgery.¡± Yang Ming hesitated, ¡°Wife, 1 think general surgery is more reliable, right?¡± After listening, his wife pondered for a long while; truth be told, few women want to leave scars on their bodies, not to mention that this surgery also promised a faster recovery!


    Hearing Yang Ming¡¯s words, she glared at him, ¡°Is it you undergoing the surgery, or is it me? Plus, didn¡¯t you hear the doctor? It¡¯s just a minor surgery, what difference would the hospital department make?¡±


    The couple decided to check out the emergency department.


    By noon, the free clinic was over, and Duan Bo returned to the department with the nurses, just as he ran into Zhang Youfu coming back from the outpatient clinic.


    Zhang Youfu asked, ¡°How was the free clinic?¡±


    Duan Bo said with a smile, ¡°Not bad, we registered quite a number of patients today, about seven or eight of them, all wanting to undergo laparoscopic surgery.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Youfu also smiled, ¡°Hmm, Duan Bo, good work. Coordinate with the patients and talk about it at the shift change tomorrow.¡±


    Duan Bo smiled, glad to have performed well in front of the chief.


    Not bad, he thought, a bit of image restored.


    Pleased with the day¡¯s work, he was passing the emergency department on his way home and glanced over unintentionally, suddenly feeling that some people looked familiar.


    Upon closer inspection, weren¡¯t they the ones who had booked surgeries in the morning?


    Why had they registered at the emergency department instead?


    This¡­ what on earth had happened?


    At this thought, he quickly took out his phone, trying to contact those patients, but¡­ after the call connected, when Duan Bo inquired about the surgery, they directly refused!


    At that moment¡­


    Duan Bo¡¯s heart sank like it had plunged into an icy abyss.


    Thinking about having to arrange the surgeries for tomorrow as instructed by the chief, Duan Bo felt a chill¡­


    Dear Lord?


    Was I at odds with the emergency department this year?


    Thinking of his recent adversities, Duan Bo played a solemn tune for himself, as things related to the emergency department had been going awry!


    Even the trust and capability he had managed to build up with Zhang Youfu was deteriorating day by day!


    Thinking about the shift change tomorrow, Duan Bo felt a pang of physical distress!

    Chapter 123: Chapter 123:1 Have a Candidate! (Added for Yue z Alliance)


    Translator: 549690339 |


    As the end of the afternoon shift approached, Xiao Lin had already emerged from the sorrow of earlier.


    Xiao Lin¡¯s full name was Lin Ran. She hadn¡¯t been in the emergency department for very long, but she had seen the old man¡¯s situation unfold before her eyes and felt a mix of regret and heartache.


    Lin Ran didn¡¯t know if her tears were for the old man¡¯s innocence, the helplessness when it came to women, or the powerlessness in the face of life.


    The emergency room doesn¡¯t believe in tears. Chen Cang hadn¡¯t even had time to grieve when suddenly, an operation came up!


    ¡°Chen Cang, get to the operating room now! Hurry up!¡± With one sentence from Li Baoshan, Chen Cang was called into action.


    On the hurried way to the operating room, Chen Cang was filled with trepidation.


    What on earth had happened?


    Chen Cang was puzzled!


    Without time to think too much, Chen Cang rushed towards the operating room. The head nurse of the operating room was already waiting outside. Seeing Chen Cang come in, she said urgently, ¡°Quickly scrub up and change! Operating Room 3!¡±


    Upon hearing Operating Room 3, Chen Cang became even more nervous for no particular reason.


    Operating Room 3 at the Provincial Second Hospital was usually empty, always awaiting the arrival of emergency surgery.


    Like sudden car accident victims being rushed in for resuscitation are sent directly to Operating Room 3 for surgery -Li Baoshan was the one to perform such surgeries.


    Li Baoshan was the pillar of the emergency department at the Provincial Second Hospital, its superstructure and its height!


    With him there, large-scale surgeries at the Provincial Second Hospital could be upheld!


    So Chen Cang felt increasingly jittery and anxious!


    After everything was ready, Head Nurse Li Ying looked at Chen Cang and encouraged him with a word, ¡°You can do it!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, then entered the operating room!


    Inside the operating room, an incredibly tense rescue operation was underway. Emergency Department Director Li Baoshan, Chief of Cardiac Surgery Tao Zi, Chief of Orthopedics Li Jianwei, and General Surgery Director Zhang Youfu! Car accident victims tend to be dangerous due to the possibility of serious multiple organ injuries.


    They were now faced with a ¡°combined chest and abdominal trauma¡± caused by a car accident.


    The patient had a ruptured diaphragm, liver laceration, stomach rupture, a through-and-through colonic injury, multiple sternum fractures, and severe pelvic fractures.


    When brought to the hospital, the patient had a midline wound above the umbilicus spanning the chest and abdomen, generalized peritonitis, and hemorrhagic shock, with blood pressure at only 70/40.


    All signs indicated: The patient was in critical condition!


    The 18-year-old boy¡¯s life was slipping away bit by bit.


    All of the Chiefs at the Provincial Second Hospital had mobilized to carry out this rescue effort!


    Liver repair, liver suture!


    Diaphragm repair, bowel suturing.


    Plenty of warm saline, Metronidazole irrigation of the abdominal cavity-in the operating room, only the beeping of machines and the sound of surgical instruments passing back and forth could be heard.


    At this moment, no one dared to breathe too heavily!


    Because of the patient¡¯s special circumstances, the surgery couldn¡¯t last more than four hours, or the situation was likely to worsen!


    To ensure the surgery¡¯s progress and efficiency, they could only forgo some less serious or non-life-threatening surgeries, focusing instead on those that were particularly dangerous.


    Even the chest surgery was being conducted simultaneously with the liver suturing!


    Zhang Youfu¡¯s eyes were intent and serious. He didn¡¯t dare take a heavy breath. His hands moved with the liver needle and heavy sutures, making the surgery breathtaking!


    And just at this moment, suddenly, the patient started to bleed again! there had already been two episodes of bleeding, and the extracorporeal circulation had been established, so where was the source of the bleeding at this point?


    Suddenly, everyone realized that the patient¡¯s ruptured artery was the splenic artery!


    Everyone¡¯s scalp went numb, as the difficulty of the surgery continued to escalate!


    The bleeding stopped!


    And the cause was identified.


    But soon, another big problem presented itself to the team.


    Zhang Youfu suddenly widened his eyes, anxious and uneasy, ¡°Now the patient¡¯s blood pressure is very low, but there¡¯s not a lot of peripheral circulation, with the main pressure concentrated in the area of the splenic artery. The artery is very thin because of the previous damage, and I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t hold up much longer¡­ there could even be a massive hemorrhage, and then the situation will be unpredictable¡­¡±


    Everyone¡¯s faces changed, ¡°Can¡¯t we just ligate and suture?¡±


    lao Zi shook her head, ¡°The patient¡¯s condition is too¡­ too poor! If we ligate, we have less than 90 seconds, and given his current situation, if the ligation takes too long, even if the suturing is successful, recovery will be a problem!¡±


    A dilemma now lay before everyone!


    How to complete the vascular anastomosis in ninety seconds.


    lhe splenic artery supplies blood to the stomach, pancreas, spleen, and other organs, and significant blood loss could inevitably lead to multi-organ damage.


    Clinically, some patients may have splenic artery embolism resulting in splenic infarction. Or, during surgery for a patient with a ruptured spleen, accurately locating the splenic artery is crucial to control bleeding.


    At that moment, a problem suddenly arose: the bleeding needed to be stopped by suturing the vessels, but ligating the vessels could only be done in less than 90 seconds, and the established extracorporeal circulation could not ensure the blood supply for the many organs thereafter.


    Li Jianwei looked up, ¡°Old Tao, can you suture it?¡±


    Li Jianwei was the head of orthopedics and also the vice president of the hospital. His question reflected everyone¡¯s hopes and tugged at their desires!


    Can it be sutured?


    In 90 seconds, could he suture the splenic artery properly?


    Tao Zi became very nervous, and after a long while, he took a deep breath, ¡°I¡­ I might not be able to do it!¡±


    His words immediately sent everyone¡¯s hearts sinking to the bottom.


    If even the head of cardiothoracic surgery, Tao Zi, couldn¡¯t do it, who else could?


    Tao Zi¡¯s words were tantamount to issuing a notice of critical condition to the patient, or even¡­


    Tao Zi took a deep breath and continued, ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not capable, nor that I¡¯m too old, but¡­ 90 seconds is just not realistic. The fastest I¡¯ve seen is only at that speed, but that person is in the capital, and it¡¯s too late to get them here now. 1 here¡¯s probably¡­ probably not a single person in Dongyang Province who can successfully perform vascular anastomosis in 90 seconds!¡±


    Tao Zi shook her head; it was too difficult¡­


    It was indeed too difficult!


    I his requires dexterity of the hands, a good foundation in vascular suturing skills, as well as stability. It¡¯s an artery, so while suturing quickly, it must also be thorough and firm. At least 30 stitches must be completed on this vessel¡­ It¡¯s¡­ too hard!¡±


    Indeed, vascular suturing itself is challenging and demanding, as it must be tightly and firmly done, or else it would be easy to have postoperative ruptures or other complications.


    Upon hearing this, Li Jianwei¡¯s face immediately changed!


    ¡°Director Zhang, does anyone in your department specialize in suturing vessels?¡±


    Zhang Youfu shook his head; if only they had such a talent in their department¡­


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    What should we do?


    How should we proceed!


    Li Jianwei was about to say, ¡°Old Tao, you give it a try, do your best! Just do your best!¡±


    At this point, there were no other options but to do their best.


    They had to have faith in Tao Zi.


    At this moment, Li Baoshan suddenly thought of someone, ¡°I have a candidate, we could give it a try!¡±

    Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Where Did Xiao Chen Go (Please Subscribe!)


    [Ding! Vascular suturing task completed, finger replantation surgery activated!]


    Chen Cang was thrilled!


    Was it finally time?


    I¡¯ve been ready, so come forth, glorious finger replantation surgery!


    [Finger Replantation Surgery: Advanced; Level three surgery; Activation requirements: 1. Reach level 20; 2. Advanced vascular suture; 3- Advanced nerve suture; 4. Advanced tendon suture!]


    [Ding! Please reach level 20 before activating finger replantation surgery!]


    Chen Cang looked on coldly, his expression one of desolation.


    He took a deep breath.


    The system was getting more demanding; initially, a simple debridement and suturing task would yield me two or three rewards, and now for one surgical skill, you¡¯re asking me to prepare four conditions¡­


    Have my hands grown too weak to hold a scalpel?


    Or am 1 getting ahead of myself?!


    Zhou Yang, who prided himself as the number one fan in the audience, had watched the entire surgery from start to finish, not wanting to miss a single step. Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s sorrowful look while watching Zhang Keqin¡¯s sutured wound, he couldn¡¯t help but feel more respect!


    Dr. Chen is such a sentimental man.


    A paragon of virtue and artistry!


    He possesses the compassionate heart of a healer as well as the brilliant medical skills of a restorer of life.


    Such a man is truly a role model for our generation.


    With this thought, Zhou Yang took out his phone, intending to add Chen Cang as a friend for more exchanges in the future.


    Chen Cang happened to turn around, startling Zhou Yang so much he almost dropped his phone.


    Chen Cang, looking at Zhou Yang, smiled and said, ¡°Thanks for just now!¡±


    Zhou Yang hurriedly shook his head, ¡°No, no, no, the one who should be thankful is me. The surgery you performed earlier has completely refreshed my understanding of tendon suturing, and that vascular suturing technique was absolutely exhilarating. You gave us a visual feast of surgery!¡±


    The surrounding doctors also crowded around, ¡°Yeah, Dr. Chen, you were fantastic!¡±


    Doctor A, ¡°Yes, Dr. Chen, to see is to believe, and we¡¯ve admired you for a long time!¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°???¡±


    Chen Cang was astonished. It was my first time here, right? Can¡¯t you guys flatter with a bit more sincerity?


    Doctor B, ¡°Really, Teacher Chen, we¡¯ve grown up watching your videos!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s scalp tingled¡­


    Why does this ¡®Teacher Chen, we¡¯ve grown up watching your videos¡¯ sound so odd?


    Chen Cang, ¡°Videos? What videos?¡±


    Tan Zhonglin, upon hearing this, glared at the others: You¡¯ve got resources, why not just watch and learn quietly? Why announce it to the world?!


    Tan Zhonglin¡¯s face turned red as he awkwardly smiled, ¡°Oh, Dr. Little Chen, it¡¯s like this. When I visited your hospital last time, I happened to see you in surgery and took the surveillance footage with me, including your surgical video. 1 didn¡¯t have your permission, I¡¯m really sorry about that.¡±


    Chen Cang understood immediately, ¡°It¡¯s all right; we¡¯re all colleagues here.


    We¡¯ll inevitably be exchanging more in the future.¡±


    Everyone nodded, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, we want to learn from Teacher Chen!¡± Chen Cang glanced at the time and saw it was already past eleven and hurriedly bid farewell: ¡°I¡¯ve got to get back to the hospital. Director Tan, and everyone else, hopefully we¡¯ll meet again.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tan Zhonglin quickly said, ¡°Wait, Little Chen, I will go with you to the provincial Second Hospital. I actually have some business with your hospital director.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded. That young man had been waiting outside for quite a while.


    ¡°Dr. Chen! You¡¯ve come out. Thank you so much. From now on, you¡¯re considered family to our criminal police team. If you need anything, just call our division directly.¡± The young man didn¡¯t know how else to express his gratitude to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°No problem, this is our job.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Cang turned to leave, and the young man hastily said,


    ¡°1¡¯11 escort Dr. Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Is this¡­ part of the mission? Can you drive a police car?¡±


    The young man shook his head, ¡°This is part of the mission!


    Li Jianwei and several surgical department heads discussed the issue of minimally invasive wounds under laparoscopy in the office all morning.


    After the meeting, Li Jianwei suddenly said, ¡°Baoshan, let¡¯s go and check out the emergency room.¡±


    Tao Zi nodded, ¡°Right, I want to see what Chen Cang is up to.¡±


    Zhang Youfu remained silent, following behind everyone else, causing Li Baoshan to glare at him in annoyance, but he was powerless to object since you can¡¯t really prevent someone from going.


    The group walked together down to the emergency department on the first floor.


    Li Baoshan, leading Li Jianwei and the others, showed them around: ¡°Now the emergency department is averaging over loo patient visits per day, which, although it can¡¯t compare to the established hospitals like Dongda First Hospital, is still developing quite impressively.¡±


    Li Jianwei nodded, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Director Li¡¯s efforts!¡±


    Although Zhang Youfu held personal prejudices against Li Baoshan, he did not doubt Li Baoshan¡¯s capabilities in the least.


    Besides, the results spoke for themselves; after all, emergency departments are among the hardest to develop within the many departments, and they also have the slowest development speed.


    First off, it¡¯s because training talents for emergency medicine is particularly difficult!


    The array of disorders encountered in emergency medicine is complicated and diverse, as an emergency physician, if you lack the necessary skills, you¡¯ll feel clueless; the patients are worried enough already, and without confidence, you¡¯ll be even more anxious.


    Unlike specialized departments, where disease types are more singular and talent training models are set, it¡¯s much easier to produce a batch of decent or even outstanding doctors.


    After the tour, Li Jianwei felt it was somewhat lackluster and realized that what he wanted to see was Chen Cang!


    ¡°By the way, where¡¯s Xiao Chen? Why haven¡¯t I seen Xiao Chen?¡± Li Jianwei casually asked.


    Li Baoshan sighed: You guys only have one thing in mind, not here to visit the emergency department¡¯s work in earnest. You just want to see Chen Cang.


    Thinking this, Li Baoshan shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ll ask around.¡±


    Li Baoshan went to the office, ¡°Where did Xiao Chen go?¡±


    Emergency doctors could hardly sit still in the office; they were always busy. They were either in the operating room or the treatment room; in short, they had very little time to sit calmly in the office.


    At that moment, only Yuan Fan was in the office.


    Yuan Fan, a graduate student, didn¡¯t secure a position through the official recruitment process and, having relied on connections, signed on as a contract worker at the Second Provincial Hospital, assigned to the emergency department.


    Compared with temporary workers like Wang Yong and Chen Cang, his treatment in various aspects was much better, after all, he did receive a bonus.


    However, compared with Wang Qian and Qin Yue, he was slightly worse off; out of the ¡°five insurances and one fund,¡± he only had three insurances, and the bonus would basically level out after three years.


    The Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s treatment of contract workers was quite good, so many were willing to work there as temporary staff. Once they worked sufficiently, the department would strive to negotiate a few quotas from the hospital.


    Li Baoshan saw Yuan Fan, ¡°Xiao Yuan? Have you seen Chen Cang?¡±


    Yuan Fan hesitated, ¡°Director¡­ Xiao Chen seems to have gone out.¡±


    Li Baoshan was taken aback, ¡°Gone out? Where did he go?¡±


    Yuan Fan shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m not sure, 1 didn¡¯t ask in detail. But when I saw him leave, he took off his white lab coat, so he¡¯s probably not in the hospital.


    He seemed in a hurry; perhaps he had some urgent matter¡­ Didn¡¯t he call you?¡± Li Baoshan was startled and picked up his mobile phone, seeing a missed call from Chen Cang.


    Where had this kid gone?


    Li Baoshan looked at Yuan Fan thoughtfully, ¡°Alright, Xiao Yuan, you can go back to what you were doing.¡±


    Li Baoshan was about to call Chen Cang back when suddenly, through the glass window, he saw a police car stop at the entrance!


    Li Baoshan frowned and hurriedly ran out, setting down the phone!


    When the police show up at the emergency department, it¡¯s definitely not a trivial matter.


    I¡¯ll settle things with that kid Chen Cang later; leaving his post during work hours¡­


    Following Li Baoshan, Li Jianwei and the others who had come along saw him rushing out and hurriedly followed towards the exit.


    But as soon as they went out, everyone was stunned!


    ps: After twelve o¡¯clock there will be four more chapters. This chapter¡­ damn, the one that slipped through the net. I had planned to release it at 12 o¡¯clock, but I clicked wrong¡­.

 Chapter 132 - Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Graduate Student?? (Please Subscribe!)

    Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Graduate Student?? (Please Subscribe!)


    Li Baoshan and Li Jianwei, along with others, rushed out of the emergency room when the police car stopped.


    Through the window, Yuan Fan saw this scene and muttered to himself, ¡°What¡¯s happened now?¡±


    With that thought, he quickly stood up and ran outside.


    He saw a young officer in uniform hurry down from the police car and promptly opened the rear door.


    On seeing this, Li Baoshan pondered for a moment, ¡°Could it be a leader? What are they doing at the hospital?¡±


    When the officer opened the door, out stepped a man¡ªit was Chen Cang?


    This startled Li Baoshan!


    You see, there are only two possibilities for someone getting out of a police car when the door is opened for them: one is a leader, the other is a criminal!


    Chen Cang was obviously not a leader¡­


    At this thought, Li Baoshan¡¯s expression changed, and he hurried forward, only to be pulled back by Li Jianwei¡¯s grasped arm: ¡°Wait a moment.¡±


    Li Baoshan noticed that Chen Cang seemed to be uncontrolled after he got out, right?


    Could it be that little Chen has committed a crime?!


    Therefore, Li Baoshan walked straight up to him.


    But then he saw another person get out of the rear seat, and upon closer inspection, it was Tan Zhonglin?


    Why was he in the police car with Chen Cang?


    Li Baoshan was utterly confused!


    Li Jianwei also looked bewildered.


    The surgical field in Anyang City wasn¡¯t vast, revolving just around those few people, especially since Tan Zhonglin was quite unique.


    After all, in Dongyang Province departments specializing in hand surgery weren¡¯t that common¡ªProvincial People¡¯s Hospital and East University Second Hospital were among the few, and naturally, Tan Zhonglin was highly sought after by various hospitals, regularly invited for consultations or to perform surgeries.


    Seeing Tan Zhonglin getting out, Li Jianwei took the initiative to greet him: ¡°Director Tan? Hehe, long time no see. What brings you to the Provincial Second Hospital?¡±


    Tan Zhonglin smiled, stepped forward, and after shaking hands with Li Jianwei and Li Baoshan,


    he joked, ¡°Today, I¡¯m here to apologize!¡±


    Li Baoshan immediately became curious, ¡°Ah? Apologize? For what?¡±


    The rest of the people also pricked up their ears and widened their eyes.


    Only then did Tan Zhonglin explain, ¡°This morning, there was an emergency surgery. I invited little Chen to help out at Provincial People¡¯s!¡±


    Li Baoshan¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Little Chen? He went to your place to perform surgery? How could he help? With so much talent at Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, how could you be short of talent?!¡±


    Hearing this, Tan Zhonglin immediately shook his head; it seemed Li Baoshan was still unaware of Chen Cang¡¯s expert tendon suturing technique!


    So he said, ¡°That¡¯s right! I called little Chen for help. Today¡¯s surgery was quite challenging, and there were some small steps 1 wasn¡¯t confident about. After a lot of thought, there was only one person who could help me¡ªthat was little Chen.¡±


    This statement astonished everyone present.


    What a high praise that was!


    Anyang City¡¯s leading hand surgeon Tan Zhonglin was saying that Chen Cang¡¯s work was better than his!


    Such an honor¡ªwho else could claim it?


    The several directors around were equally astounded, wondering what surgery Chen Cang was a master of to earn such praise from Tan Zhonglin.


    Yuan Fan, back in his place, was also staring wide-eyed in disbelief.


    This Chen Cang¡­ how could this be¡­ It¡¯s impossible!


    But the reality was right in front of everyone, leaving no room for doubt!


    Could it be that someone as reputable as Tan Zhonglin came along with Chen Cang just to put on an act?


    At that moment, the young officer in uniform escorted Chen Cang, then stood up across from Chen Cang and saluted seriously,


    ¡°Dr. Chen! Thank you for saving our captain. I have to head back now, there are still matters at the station.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Thank you, drive safely.¡±


    The young man drove away.


    Leaving everyone dumbfounded.


    This is real?!???


    At this moment, Li Baoshan, seeing more and more onlookers gathering, said, ¡°Little Chen, come to my office with me!¡±


    That¡¯s when everyone returned to the director¡¯s office.


    After listening to Chen Cang explain the whole situation, Li Jianwei and the others were momentarily unable to accept it!


    This kid is too demonic, right?


    Even Li Baoshan really wanted to pull Chen Cang aside and ask earnestly, ¡°What exactly else can you do?¡±


    Tan Zhonglin¡¯s admiration for Chen Cang grew as he watched him, his eyes filled with appreciation, almost wishing he could take him away immediately.


    The hand surgery department at Provincial People¡¯s Hospital was experiencing a gap, as the new generation of young people had not yet grown up. If Chen Cang could join and be given key training, he might lead the hand surgery department of Provincial People¡¯s Hospital back to its former glory!


    Thinking of this, Tan Zhonglin turned to Li Baoshan, ¡°Director Li, 1 apologize for bypassing you and directly asking Chen to help today due to the emergency.¡±


    After a smile, he said to everyone, ¡°I came here today mainly to discuss some matters with Dean Qin, so I won¡¯t disturb you all any longer.¡±


    ¡°Chen, well talk more when we¡¯re free¡­¡±


    With that, Tan Zhonglin turned and left.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang also quickly got up, ¡°Director, I¡¯m leaving too¡­ You all take your time chatting.¡±


    Just as Li Baoshan was about to nod, Li Jianwei suddenly waved his hand, ¡°Don¡¯t rush, Chen. I came to find you today because I wanted to discuss something with you.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Please speak, Dean Li.¡±


    Li Jianwei smiled, ¡°It¡¯s not anything big, just about the minimally invasive research for the endoscopic surgery technique you improved. The hospital pays great attention to it and believes it¡¯s a very promising research. You could apply for a project, and the hospital will support you to refine this technique and promote it,¡±


    ¡°So we want you to be the person in charge of this project! What do you think?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang quickly shook his head, ¡°This¡­ Dean Li, I¡¯m afraid to sound ridiculous, but I¡¯ve not been involved in research since graduating with my bachelor¡¯s degree and starting work¡­ so I¡¯m not good at research. I can treat patients and perform surgeries. I can strive to improve surgical techniques, but doing research¡­ I¡¯m afraid I would mess it up!¡±


    Li Jianwei heard this and immediately laughed and shook his head, ¡°There¡¯s specialization in every art, don¡¯t worry. Let Director Li Baoshan be the project leader, but you just need to be the second in charge as the technical supporter and provider. You won¡¯t have to deal with the rest, with Director Zhang Youfu being in charge of the clinical work.¡±


    ¡°Regarding your educational background¡­ there¡¯s no need to rush. This year, our hospital is cooperating with Dongyang Medical University to train graduate students. We ll contact the school to see if we can take this opportunity and get you a direct recommendation to start your master¡¯s degree with this year¡¯s batch of students. After all, graduate students are now being trained in the hospital. We will solve these issues for you.¡±


    ¡°You just need to focus on working with Director Li and Director Zhang on this project¡¯s research! What do you think?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s face lit up with surprise!


    Could such good things happen?


    Could he directly follow and pursue a graduate degree?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t refuse, he quickly said, ¡°Thank you, Dean Li!¡±


    Li Jianwei nodded, ¡°You go and get busy then!¡±


    After Chen Cang left, everyone looked curiously at Li Jianwei, as none of this had been mentioned before!


    It was even different from the results of the discussion with everyone.


    Not to mention the graduate studies.


    Li Jianwei saw everyone¡¯s curiosity and sighed, ¡°You must be wondering why I promised so much?¡±


    Everyone nodded.


    Li Jianwei smiled bitterly, ¡°I hadn¡¯t thought about all this at first, including promising Chen a graduate position, it was all a spur-of-the-moment decision!¡±


    ¡°But¡­ didn¡¯t you see Tan Zhonglin¡¯s expression just now? He seemed like he was about to kidnap Chen!¡±


    ¡°To put it bluntly, no matter if Chen stays in emergency, or in cardiac surgery, or general surgery, as long as it¡¯s our hospital, that¡¯s all fine! Even I won¡¯t interfere with these.¡±


    ¡°However, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s visit has sounded the alarm for me!¡±


    ¡°As you¡¯ve seen, Chen is only 27 years old, and with so many talents at such a young age, even Tan Zhonglin from Provincial People¡¯s has his eye on him, not to mention others?¡±


    ¡°So, the question is, can we keep Chen?¡±


    ¡°To be honest, don¡¯t you know the level of our Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s surgery department? Our surgical department can only be considered mid-level in An Yang City, and the young people, unlike you, are looking for a future.¡±


    With this, everyone sighed.


    Li Jianwei continued, ¡°So, whether we rely on our hardware, funding, technology ceiling, or future prospects, we have no advantages! To keep Chen Cang, we can only rely on one thing!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s to use the resources at our disposal to nurture Chen!¡±


    ¡°When he is in most need of development, we can lend a helping hand to aid his progress, and if so¡­¡±


    ¡°Even if Chen leaves our hospital later on, this place will always be his foundation, and when our hospital needs help, Chen will extend a helping hand!¡±


    This made everyone fall silent.


    It could be¡­ the harsh truth!


    After Li Jianwei finished speaking, he smiled, ¡°Of course, I might be overestimating him a bit since it¡¯s still too early to tell anything, but after all, he¡¯s our employee and we should still make an effort to foster his growth.¡± ps: Damn¡­ I originally planned to update at 12:00, but 1 accidentally released a chapter early¡­.

 Chapter 134 - Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Breaking Through Master Level (Subscribe Please)

    Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Breaking Through Master Level (Subscribe Please)


    Qin Yue¡¯s home was in the nearby staff quarters, less than a ten-minute walk away, so she ate at home every day.


    And lately, Old Chen had been acting strangely too, heading home early after finishing his surgeries¡ªa very rare occurrence.


    At noon, the only ones left to eat together were Wang Yong and Wang Qian.


    Wang Qian patted Chen Cang¡¯s shoulder with practiced ease, ¡°Xiao Yong, Cang Er, let¡¯s go have lunch.¡±


    Wang Yong also finished tidying up and was ready to get up.


    Chen Cang, however, said, ¡°I have something to do at noon, you guys go ahead.¡±


    The two nodded and left first.


    After changing his clothes, Chen Cang went to the hospital¡¯s west gate, where a Maserati was already parked. Upon seeing Chen Cang approaching, the driver hurriedly got out and welcomed him.


    That must have been Jin Qingzhi¡¯s driver, the one who drove Chen Cang to the hospital last time.


    As a second-tier city, An Yang¡¯s economic development was average, and luxury cars worth two to three million were quite rare.


    Parked in front of the hospital, it inevitably attracted a few extra glances.


    Yuan Fan happened to pass by the west gate after work and saw this Beijing-licensed Maserati. Overflowing with envy, he couldn¡¯t help but mutter a few jealous words.


    But just then, he suddenly saw the driver get out to welcome Chen Cang, even holding the car door open for him.


    This scene left Yuan Fan dumbfounded!


    He was well aware of Chen Cang¡¯s family background.


    But¡­


    This¡­


    This scene was truly hard for Yuan Fan to accept.


    Suddenly, an idea struck Yuan Fan¡ªcould it be¡­


    Chen Cang might be off to do a speedy surgery?


    With this thought, Yuan Fan lost all appetite for food.


    He quickly took out his phone, snapped a few photos, hailed a taxi, and followed.


    That day, after Jin Qingzhi had seen Chen Cang off, he had a chat with Li He. The words Li He had said at that time lingered in his mind, making him feel that he hadn¡¯t properly expressed his gratitude to Chen Cang.


    Li He told him, ¡°Your father¡¯s health isn¡¯t good, and his long-term gastrointestinal problems have caused quite a bit of damage to his digestive system. And that day¡¯s surgery wasn¡¯t just a cholecystectomy¡ªit included the repair of a duodenal fistula and the reconstruction of a damaged colon. Moreover, the most critical point is that Chen Cang¡¯s surgical skills are superb!¡±


    ¡°Let me put it this way, Chen Cang¡¯s repair work could reduce the recurrence rate of your father¡¯s digestive system diseases, and even significantly lower the risk of intestinal damage and adhesions. It¡¯s just a pity that 1 was too focused on his surgery at the time and forgot to record a video.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, that surgery video, even at Hospital 301, would be considered an outstanding classic case!¡±


    After hearing this, Jin Qingzhi thought it over and decided to invite Chen Cang out for a meal to formally say thank you.


    Chen Cang¡¯s arrival livened up the entire table. It was evident that Sun Zhengwei, Guo Cheng, and the others were all familiar with the drinking scene. Chen Cang, however, didn¡¯t drink since he had surgery in the afternoon. The others drank a bit of red wine, but not enough to affect work.


    As he was leaving, Jin Qingzhi thanked Chen Cang repeatedly, but this time, he didn¡¯t offer money. Instead, he insisted on becoming friends with Chen Cang.


    One meal had earned Chen Cang several points of goodwill.


    This brought Jin Qingzhi¡¯s goodwill level to 35. Chen Cang estimated that this was not a low number, considering he had saved the man¡¯s father, which should include a measure of gratitude.


    It was good to make connections with someone who could potentially help Chen Luo in the future, Chen Cang thought.


    But that was a story for another time.


    Chen Cang still hoped that Chen Luo could stand on his own two feet.


    In Chen Dahai¡¯s words, ¡°If a man has something to lean on, he loses the chance to become something substantial.¡±


    At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Chen Cang began surgery. Now, a surgery by Chen Cang took less than half an hour.


    In a little over an hour, Chen Cang had removed two gallbladders!


    That earned him 300 clinical experience points, and he was just 200 points away from reaching level 18.


    Chen Cang was reluctant to use his experience pill, as he had hit a bottleneck in his surgical experience and couldn¡¯t break through, preventing him from advancing further.


    After finishing the surgery, Chen Cang rushed back to the hospital because several inpatients that he had admitted in the past few days had surgeries scheduled for the afternoon.


    It was time to level up, and Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to waste any time!


    Level 20 was a turning point.


    The system¡¯s prompt said that after reaching level 20, he would become an attending physician, which meant that his skills would reach the level of an attending physician.


    Chen Cang was eager to know what changes would occur after reaching level 20!


    Could it be¡­ like in games, that a class change would occur?


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang was filled with anticipation.


    What would this class change look like!


    Just as he entered the hospital, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system¡¯s notification sound.


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have fulfilled Guo Cheng¡¯s request, helped complete three surgeries, and have received a reward: improvements to Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy techniques!]


    Chen Cang was overjoyed!


    He had almost forgotten about this mission.


    Casually opening the reward, he heard a ¡®ding¡¯ sound.


    Chen Cang felt a surge of surgical images and the anatomical structure of the gallbladder fill his mind¡­


    After an unknown period, Chen Cang opened his eyes!


    His face lit up with joy.


    As expected of an improved technique!


    Using these little tricks, he could effectively reduce the complication of postcholecystectomy syndrome!


    The more Chen Cang thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.


    These techniques not only gave Chen Cang an additional surgical method but most importantly, they deepened his understanding of the cholecystectomy.


    Only when you understand enough, can you be adaptable and flexible!


    At this moment, as a number of surgical videos washed over his mind, by combining his own surgical experience, Chen Cang¡¯s understanding of gallbladder surgery deepened significantly!


    Actually, when you get down to it,


    Cholecystectomy is not considered a major operation, nor is it particularly complicated compared to appendectomy, but indeed, it is quite a bit more difficult.


    The difficulty mainly lies in the gallbladder¡¯s more complex physiological structure compared to the appendix.


    That¡¯s why one is a level two surgery, and the other is merely a level one surgery for beginners!


    The gallbladder area has something called Calot¡¯s triangle, which must be dissected to access the gallbladder; it¡¯s like giving the gallbladder a wall, making the ¡°attack¡± on the gallbladder more challenging.


    For those challenging cholecystectomies, it¡¯s just that the barriers are more complex, like building a moat outside the wall, setting up defensive ramparts.


    The appendix, however, is less fortunate, being the boss of the beginners¡¯ village; it only involves separating the mesoappendix, which is akin to building a simple picket fence around it, all for show.


    With the deepening of his insights, Chen Cang suddenly had an epiphany.


    [Ding! Congratulations, your Cholecystectomy skill has advanced to master level!]


    [Cholecystectomy, Master Level, Special Effects: 1. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy; 2. Reduction of postcholecystectomy syndrome. I


    Chen Cang was thrilled!


    Had he actually broken through?!


    He had not expected that the improved techniques of the cholecystectomy could shatter his limitations and elevate him to master level!


    It was both surprising and delightful for Chen Cang.


    This was great news!


    And this improved technique had also become Chen Cang¡¯s special effect 2: Reduction of postcholecystectomy syndrome!

 Chapter 135 - Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Surgery I Had Before Was Fake, Right? (Please Subscribe)

    Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Surgery I Had Before Was Fake, Right? (Please Subscribe)


    This series of breakthroughs led Chen Cang to a sudden realization!


    He finally understood what was meant by skill effects.


    He also finally understood the gap between Master and advanced levels.


    The gap between a Master and advanced levels is that one must have a thorough understanding and full cognition of the surgical skill on the foundation of advanced levels, especially in regards to its key points, difficulties, or potential complications.


    Furthermore, on this basis, one must resolve these issues!


    Only then can one truly break through the advanced level, shatter the shackles, and reach the Master level!


    The laparoscopic cholecystectomy technique that Chen Cang had just acquired was, in fact, an improvement and refinement on the traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy technique, and the purpose of the improvement was to reduce postcholecystectomy syndrome!


    And with this new technique, Chen Cang had surprisingly acquired this special effect.


    That is to say, these special effects were actually some surgical outcomes obtained through surgical skills!


    Just like the special effect of intestinal anastomosis: solidity;


    In fact, this effect was the result of Chen Cang¡¯s continuous practice, by learning and using various intestinal suturing techniques to make the anastomosis even more solid, thereby achieving this final suturing result: solidity!


    But if you can perform surgery, yet your work is merely standard and only capable of completing the surgery without any distinctive features, then you¡¯re only a mediocrity, which is the so-called intermediate level!


    This feeling of enlightenment is too wonderful!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but rejoice.


    Today has been a fruitful day indeed¡­


    Moreover, the special effect of reducing postcholecystectomy syndrome is just too useful!


    Because although cholecystectomy surgery is simple, there¡¯s a very obvious sequelae after gallbladder removal, and its name is postcholecystectomy syndrome!


    As many as fifty percent or more of patients suffer from this!


    Basically, anyone who has undergone this surgery will more or less know about these issues (interested friends may ask people around them).


    Postcholecystectomy syndrome refers to a group of abdominal symptoms such as abdominal pain and indigestion that occur in patients with a history of gallbladder removal. It is not exactly a disease, has various causes, and its clinical manifestations vary greatly. Moreover, many diseases are not at all related to the cholecystectomy!


    This disease is jokingly referred to as the unsolved mystery after gallbladder removal!


    Scientists and medical researchers have conducted various studies, but the cause remains unclear, and no precise explanation can be found.


    Therefore, Chen Cang was extremely satisfied to have gained this special effect!


    Chen Cang went to the office, donned his white coat, and headed straight for the operating room.


    Now, with a more flexible schedule, Chen Cang didn¡¯t need to stay in the office every day to write medical records; he spent more time in the operating room performing surgeries.


    Upon arriving at the operating room, Wang Yong had already started the first surgery. When Chen Cang entered, he didn¡¯t bother changing into surgical clothes and started watching from the sidelines.


    It must be said, Wang Yong¡¯s progress these past few days had been rapid. Of course, this was inseparable from the ample opportunities Chen Cang had given him.


    The improvement of any surgical skill ultimately requires practice!


    When Wang Yong saw Chen Cang arrive, he nodded in greeting, and Chen Cang waved his hand, ¡°Continue.¡±


    Wang Yong continued the surgery!


    Chen Cang glanced at Wang Yong, [Ding! Wang Yong, favorability: 50;]


    50 points of favorability!


    It appears that the days of teaching hadn¡¯t been wasted.


    Wang Yong was key in activating the Mentor-Disciple system, and Chen Cang was quite concerned about this.


    With the assessment day fast approaching, Chen Cang also hoped to teach Wang Yong more things.


    Now and then, Chen Cang would offer some guidance from the sidelines.


    After the first surgery, Chen Cang decided to take over. Having just acquired the improved technique, he was eager to experience exactly what it felt like.


    There were six surgeries scheduled for the afternoon, apart from the one already done, five were left.


    Chen Cang planned to perform these five himself.


    As the second surgery started, Chen Cang said to Wang Yong, ¡°Pay close attention and see what¡¯s different from usual. This is a new technique I¡¯ve been researching recently. The results are quite good, watch carefully.¡±


    After hearing this, Wang Yong was deeply moved. Sometimes one had to admit that the gap between people was just too damn big!


    He had not yet mastered the basics, and here Chen Cang was already playing with new tricks.


    However, this feeling of awe was fleeting, and Wang Yong immediately adopted an attitude of humility and sincerity to learn.


    The surgery by Chen Cang began, and the first step was still to make an incision and create a well.


    Minimally invasive incision, creating a well¡­


    Inserting the insufflation needle¡­


    The surgery proceeded methodically, and this time, when Chen Cang inserted the insufflation needle, he deliberately shifted the angle to reduce the risk of the needle injuring the abdominal viscera!


    When performing an abdominal puncture, the needle can cause various complications, including severe damage to the internal organs, organ perforation, or even rupture of the aorta. If there is abdominal adhesion, it can cause emphysema of the omentum, mesentery, or peritoneum.


    Even more seriously, if the needle enters a blood vessel and carbon dioxide is injected, it can cause an embolism called a carbon dioxide embolism!


    This improvement by Chen Cang was the result of his own experience summary, trying to avoid important tissues and organs as much as possible through technique and clinical experience.


    Wang Yong was utterly baffled by this!


    He had no idea what the purpose of Chen Gang¡¯s approach was¡­


    However, as the surgery continued, Wang Yong realized that he might have misunderstood something about the cholecystectomy¡­


    The cholecystectomy techniques, methods, and even the steps used by Chen Cang were all somewhat different from the usual.


    This method of dissecting the cystic duct¡­ seemed to be quite useful!


    But what was the point?


    Why did he have to do it like this!


    And why did he have to position the laparoscope there???


    Chen Cang, by positioning the laparoscope at different locations, made images of the gallbladder from various angles appear on the monitor.


    And at that moment!


    Suddenly, gallstones appeared within the abdominal cavity just below the gallbladder triangle¡­


    At this, Wang Yong was no longer able to sit still.


    How¡­ how had he discovered that?


    It¡¯s well known that residual gallstones in the abdomen can easily cause the recurrence of disease or even worsen it; a stone left at the incision site can even lead to an infection that is detrimental to the patient¡¯s recovery!


    How had Chen Cang come up with this idea?


    By changing the angle of the laparoscope, he could see many things that were previously invisible.


    It gave Wang Yong a feeling as if his mind had been suddenly opened!


    He even felt that his own thought process had been enlightened by Chen Cang¡­


    So, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy could be performed this way¡­


    The operation didn¡¯t take much time at all!


    Yet, Wang Yong watched with a perplexed expression.


    After completing the surgery, Chen Cang began to change clothes, wash up, and prepare for the next operation.


    Meanwhile, Wang Yong stood there for a long time, lost in thought.


    After a while¡­


    Wang Yong muttered to himself, ¡°Were the cholecystectomies I¡¯ve done in the past all fake¡­¡±


    This is what a real cholecystectomy looks like!


    ps: Our book friends are really awesome, I respect you the most, seriously, we made it into the new book monthly ticket ranking in two days, taking 10th place, you guys are so powerful!


    I¡¯m a bit scared, if we had started on the 1st, would we have gotten 9th place? Amazing, amazing!


    Next month let¡¯s try to see what rank we can achieve and mention something about adding more updates.


    This month I guarantee five updates a day.


    Starting next month with the additional updates:


    For additional updates, I¡¯ve thought about it and decided: one extra chapter for Hall Master, two extra chapters for Sect Leader, and three extra chapters for Alliance Hierarch (all additional chapters must be completed the following day). I never really thought about Silver, but if suddenly a Silver Alliance Hierarch appears, don¡¯t be surprised, it might just be me rewarding myself¡­


    As for monthly tickets: for every 500 monthly tickets, I will add one extra chapter, with no upper limit!

 Chapter 136 - Chapter 136: Chapter 136: This Duan Bo is Not That Duan Bo (Please Subscribe!)

    Chapter 136: Chapter 136: This Duan Bo is Not That Duan Bo (Please Subscribe!)


    The following surgeries went even smoother for Chen Cang.


    And Wang Yong was thoroughly enjoying the show!


    The more he watched this new surgical technique, the more Wang Yong felt awe and excitement.


    He had realized that this surgical method embodied a completely new concept, capable of achieving many surprisingly effective outcomes!


    For instance, the initial insertion of the puncture needle and the skillful separation of the gallbladder with an electrical hook, while precisely avoiding the bile duct to prevent damage!


    And the angle chosen for the laparoscope could reveal some unexpected findings.


    These skills might not be needed most of the time.


    But¡­ when faced with certain special patients, these thoughtful maneuvers could completely prevent the occurrence of complications.


    For example, special use of the laparoscope could detect residual stones that were previously undetectable.


    In fact, these operations might not uncover much most of the time, but it¡¯s akin to using turn signals when driving a car; it¡¯s about prevention!


    And so, Chen Cang smoothly advanced to level 18.


    But¡­


    That wasn¡¯t enough!


    There would be no surgeries to perform in the department tomorrow.


    Where could he ¡°grind¡± for more experience?


    At this time, past eight o¡¯clock, Chen Cang and Wang Yong left the operating room and suddenly received a phone call.


    Chen Cang answered. It was Duan Bo!


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned.


    Duan Bo from General Surgery? What¡­ does he want with me?


    How did he get my number? Wait¡­ I¡¯ve never saved his number!


    Then, Chen Cang picked up the phone, and a sudden ¡°Dr. Chen¡± from the caller made him realize his mistake!


    This Duan Bo was not the one he thought!


    This was the director of General Surgery at Lan County People¡¯s Hospital, also named Duan Bo!


    Chen Cang slapped his forehead, realizing how confused he had become.


    After all, currently, the only person who called Chen Cang ¡°Dr. Chen¡± was this director.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh, as he answered the phone, ¡°Director Duan, hello.¡±


    Duan Bo said cheerfully, ¡°Dr. Chen, do you have time after work tomorrow?¡±


    Tomorrow was Thursday, and there were no surgeries scheduled yet; the afternoon was relatively free.


    Chen Cang replied promptly, ¡°I¡¯m free all tomorrow afternoon.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Duan Bo burst into laughter.


    ¡°That¡¯s great. We¡¯ve prepared 8 patients for appendectomy, and we¡¯d like you to come over tomorrow to perform the small-incision appendectomy.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded in agreement immediately, ¡°Sure, Director Duan, no problem!¡±


    Duan Bo, still smiling, said, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll have a driver waiting for you at the hospital entrance at noon tomorrow, come straight over after work, and we¡¯ll grab a meal.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang updated the contact name to Director Duan Bo.


    Good, he was set to earn a wave of experience tomorrow!


    Surgical departments never have a tradition of finishing work or dining on time.


    Whether one is a director, a renowned physician, or someone with a salary in the hundreds of thousands or even millions¡­ whatever the level.


    If you¡¯re hungry, you stay hungry; you can¡¯t rest until the surgery is finished.


    It¡¯s impossible to leave for a snack if you get hungry in the middle of an operation and then return to continue.


    In fact, many experts really aren¡¯t short on money, but they are truly exhausted, unable to take a break, with the pressure pushing them forward. The hospital loads you with a pile of tasks that you simply have to complete!


    Reaching an expert level only adds to this, with outpatient services and surgeries during work hours, followed by rushing to write papers and conduct research after work. They rush by high-speed rail or plane to attend meetings in other places, and immediately after those conferences are finished, they have to return without delay, as they can¡¯t afford to miss the next day¡¯s clinic or surgery.


    This isn¡¯t a story, these are all real examples.


    Time after time, cases of sudden death in the medical community never ceased.


    Some might think it¡¯s an exaggeration ¨C in this day and age, can people still be worked to death?


    It¡¯s not an exaggeration at all.


    The medical field is truly exhausting!


    The scenes you see on TV of people sleeping on the floor of the operating room ¨C Chen Cang had done that himself, more than once, and right beside him was little bootlicker Qin Yue.


    Life doesn¡¯t give special treatment for being delicate, nor does it sympathize with anyone¡¯s plight.


    Thinking about it, Chen Cang really admired Shi Na and Qin Yue ¨C these two seemingly fragile women, who were actually enthusiastic about working in emergency medicine.


    Having left the hospital, Chen Cang took Wang Yong to a nearby restaurant, ordered three heavy dishes, got a cold platter, and opened two bottles of chilled beer.


    Recent times had been somewhat trying, and Wang Yong, following him, didn¡¯t have it easy either, waking up early and staying up late performing surgeries, and then having to write medical records after.


    To tell the truth¡­ with a monthly salary of only 2200 yuan, it nowhere near compensated for their hard work and effort.


    They were powered solely by love and faith.


    Chen Cang had also started as a temporary worker; they were the only ones who could understand that kind of hardship.


    After performing so many surgeries these days, Chen Cang had made some money from each one, including the surgeries performed by Wang Yong, which were all credited to him.


    This was because Chen Cang had prescriptive authority, while Wang Yong, being a temp, did not.


    The operating theatre had just been established, with over thirty surgeries performed in addition to treating that many patients, managing¡­


    Chen Cang estimated that this month he should conservatively make about ten thousand yuan in income.


    Of course, excluding his own extras and the rewards from the system.


    Chen Cang filled Wang Yong¡¯s glass with beer.


    ¡°It¡¯s been tough these last few days, hasn¡¯t it?¡±


    Wang Yong smiled, ¡°These three years, when has it not been tough? I¡¯m already used to it.¡±


    The two clinked their glasses and drank it down in one go.


    After an afternoon of surgery without a sip of water, and managing to hold up until now, a glass of chilled beer was truly satisfying.


    Wang Yong, looking at Chen Cang, said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯ve gone through the same thing; the hardship isn¡¯t physical, it¡¯s the torment of not knowing where the road leads.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, understanding what Wang Yong meant.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, things will get better. I think you shouldn¡¯t have a problem with the upcoming assessment. You really have a talent for surgery, quick eyes and skilled hands, good at noticing details. What you lack is just an opportunity!¡± Wang Yong¡¯s eyes lit up!


    What he lacked was just an opportunity!


    He had prepared for it for a long time.


    Moreover, having followed Chen Cang for just two short weeks, he felt his progress was extraordinary.


    As long as he performed normally at the time, he felt certain he had a chance.


    The experiences of the two were similar, and their conversation clicked; naturally, they got on like a house on fire.


    Over three dishes, each of them had three bowls of rice ¨C they were genuinely hungry.


    Surgery isn¡¯t just about skill, it¡¯s also physically demanding; without good stamina, you simply can¡¯t keep up.


    With their stomachs and glasses full, Chen Cang asked, ¡°The technique I demonstrated today was the improved method for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, did you catch onto anything?¡±


    Wang Yong nodded, ¡°Mm, it¡¯s quite out of the ordinary. I think it¡¯s very creative and innovative. Is it called the improved method for laparoscopic cholecystectomy? Did you improve it yourself?¡±


    Chen Cang shamelessly nodded, ¡°Mm, yes.¡±


    Wang Yong couldn¡¯t help but give a thumbs up, ¡°Cang Er, I really admire you. That¡¯s awesome, otherwise how could you have moved up? Your brain is just different from ours ¨C you constantly come up with things, it¡¯s really remarkable!¡±


    ¡°I could tell straight away there was something different. After thinking more carefully one thing after another, I really understood it. And after thinking it over more, the more I appreciated the ideas!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, and said earnestly, ¡°Mm, you should really study this technique. I think it¡¯s quite valuable. You recorded a video today, didn¡¯t you? Go back and watch it more; it¡¯s mainly about a few details. You study them carefully, the first one is¡­¡±


    They picked up their chopsticks as if they were surgical instruments and started to gesture, turning a meal into a two-hour impromptu discussion before finally dispersing.

 Chapter 137 - Chapter 137: Chapter 137: You Insist on Coming When Youre Not Invited!

    Chapter 137: Chapter 137: You Insist on Coming When You¡¯re Not Invited!


    ¡°I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming!¡±


    ¡°If I didn¡¯t come, what would you do?¡±


    Even the emergency room has old friends. When Old Wang entered the emergency room with his cane, Xiao Lin smiled and said, ¡°Old Wang, you¡¯re here!¡±


    Old Wang chuckled, ¡°Here I am, here I am.¡±


    The head nurse personally went up to help him, ¡°Old Wang, what¡¯s troubling you today?¡±


    Before Old Wang could speak, a bout of coughing interrupted him. He gasped for breath for a long while before Tian Xianglan quickly began patting his back and rubbing his chest to ease his breath.


    Finally, he caught his breath.


    Old Wang sighed and smiled, ¡°I had a severe coughing fit last night, and it made my heart uncomfortable. I came over first thing this morning to register.¡±


    It was just past seven in the morning, and the emergency room hadn¡¯t switched shifts yet. Old Chen was still busy from the night shift; the day shift hadn¡¯t arrived, whereas Chen Cang had made it his habit to come to the hospital early.


    Upon entering, he saw Old Wang, greeted him with a smile, and wished him a good morning.


    Even in the hospital, knowing that Old Wang was a patient, you couldn¡¯t just greet someone by saying, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡±


    When Old Wang saw Chen Cang, he too smiled, ¡°Little Chen, you still come so early.¡±


    At this moment, Chen Cang looked at Old Wang seriously and immediately frowned slightly.


    Old Wang looked a bit pale today, didn¡¯t he?


    Could it be another attack?


    ¡°Old Wang, what¡¯s bothering you? Are you having another attack?¡±


    Old Wang, whose name was Wang Maugen, was a proud and stubborn old man. He lived in a saw blade factory dormitory not far from the Second Provincial Hospital. He was a leader his whole life, articulate and eloquent. Even in old age, he couldn¡¯t sit still. However, his leadership days of heavy smoking had left him with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.


    As Old Wang used to say, ¡°I was a leader all my life and acquired a whole bunch of nasty ailments!¡±


    Old Wang always liked to chuckle, even when he was sick, the wrinkles around his mouth still showed a smiling expression.


    Truth be told, Chen Cang admired the old man. Every time he saw him, he was in a clean, washed white shirt, neatly pressed suit trousers, and a pair of napped brown leather shoes¡ªneat and presentable.


    The old man was a regular in the emergency department. When Chen Cang first arrived at the Second Provincial Hospital, he even had to ask the old man for directions.


    In the blink of an eye two years had passed, and the old man came in every now and then, either to purchase medication for himself or for his son.


    The reason he came to the emergency room was that he always bought medicine in the middle of the night when the outpatient clinics were closed.


    Before the old man could speak, he began coughing again. After the coughing fit, he started to gasp for air.


    ¡°Huff¡­ huff¡­ huff¡­¡±


    The old man was desperately breathing, his complexion turning somewhat blue, the urgency in his breathing fierce!


    Chen Gang¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Xiao Lin, take him to the observation room for oxygen.¡±


    Old Wang was a regular patient, and almost every visit was like this; Chen Cang could even recite his medical history by heart.


    Even Old Wang¡¯s medical record book was filled with Chen Gang¡¯s handwriting. In these two years, Old Wang had gone through two new books.


    His condition was clear: acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with cor pulmonale¡­


    For an eighty-something-year-old man, every attack meant a further progression of the disease.


    Chen Cang was even somewhat worried, how many more times could this respectable old man come?


    Xiao Lin, out of habit, conducted an electrocardiogram for the old man, measured his blood pressure, and checked his oxygen saturation¡ªall for free¡­


    ¡°Dr. Chen, his oxygen saturation is only 80¡­¡± Xiao Lin said in a low voice, looking worriedly at Old Wang.


    Chen Cang nodded, though he didn¡¯t need to measure to know.


    Such low oxygen saturation would make another person show symptoms, but the old man was just sitting there, smiling with his oxygen mask, watching him.


    Chen Cang felt a pang of regret¡­


    Every visit from Old Wang tugged at his heart.


    This was the only patient that Nurse Chief Tian Xianglan, the financial supervisor, would turn a blind eye to¡ªwhether it was for oxygen therapy or a new electrocardiogram¡­ all free of charge.


    As long as the emergency room could afford just a bit of subsidy, Tian Xianglan wouldn¡¯t say a word.


    As the saying goes, a patient long-ill becomes a doctor themself. Taking off his mask, Old Wang confidently said, ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ let¡¯s do an arterial blood gas analysis, just the blood gas, no need for other tests.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile and didn¡¯t try to dissuade him further, because he knew it would be pointless.


    This seemingly respectable and proud old man actually carried no light burden.


    The seemingly generous pension was not enough to sustain his life.


    Expense became the biggest hurdle hanging over his head.


    Following procedure, Chen Cang approached Grandpa Wang with the medical record in hand, ¡°Grandpa, you should be aware of the condition, I¡¯ve always been telling you about the risks, such as shock¡­ even coma, death, etc. Could you sign here to refuse the examinations?¡±


    Grandpa Wang smiled, took the pen, and as he wrote with a shaky hand, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve been signing my name for half my life, never thought I¡¯d still not escape this fate in my old age, haha¡­¡±


    The fellow patients and nurses around couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    What a humorous old man.


    And a proud one, too.


    He has told Chen Cang more than once with pride, ¡°My son has been paralyzed in bed for over a decade, but he never once got a bed sore!¡±


    He has also proudly shared with me, ¡°Yesterday my son told me someone read his book, and someone even gave him a reward for it, right¡­ on that Qidian Chinese website, which is part of Tencent Group, worth several billions!¡±


    The old man had a successful son, but sadly, he was paralyzed at home due to the sequelae of a brainstem stroke, for over ten years now. His wife, along with his grandson, was in the United States and rarely came back; perhaps the old man didn¡¯t know they had divorced, or maybe he did but didn¡¯t want to speak of it¡­ after all, Chen Cang had never seen his daughter-in-law, his grandson.


    Yet the old man still proudly told Chen Cang:


    ¡°That grandson of mine takes after me, very clever he is, I hear he¡¯s going to that¡­ what¡¯s it called, MIT for college!¡±


    A fellow patient suddenly asked, ¡°Grandpa, how many years have you had COPD? Why not go to the respiratory department for a hospital admission?¡±


    Grandpa Wang smiled, ¡°The old lady at home looks after our son; I can¡¯t be hospitalized, there¡¯d be no one to take care of me.¡±


    Every time the old man came, it was Tian Xianglan who attentively looked after him, and the young nurses hustling around.


    Looking at Tian Xianglan, Grandpa Wang said with a smile, ¡°Xiao Tian, I initially wanted to set you up with my son. It¡¯s a good thing that lad didn¡¯t see clearly, otherwise¡­ my whole family would have dragged you down.¡±


    When Grandpa Wang was in his fifties, he developed emphysema, and after retiring at the age of sixty, he became a frequent visitor to the hospital. At that time, Tian Xianglan was still a young nurse, but Grandpa Wang really liked her and was intent on matchmaking her with his son.


    Unfortunately, his son was too proud and did not look favorably on Tian Xianglan who worked as a nurse in the emergency department.


    Tian Xianglan smiled, ¡°Grandpa Wang, you¡¯re talking nonsense.¡±


    Grandpa Wang laughed heartily, looking at the walls around the emergency department, and suddenly let out a sigh, ¡°The old, run-down Second Provincial Hospital has become so impressive now, I don¡¯t know how much longer I can see it though!¡±


    Wang Maugen was fully aware of his condition; if not for the worry about his spouse and son, he would have gone long ago!


    But¡­


    He didn¡¯t dare leave. His little family depended entirely on his pension.


    So, no matter how difficult, he had to stay alive!


    After Grandpa Wang had been there for half an hour, a white-haired old lady walked into the emergency room and happened to see the nurse, ¡°Nurse Lin, is Wang Maugen here?¡±


    Xiao Lin smiled, ¡°Yes, he¡¯s in the observation room receiving oxygen.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the old lady said thank you and headed for the observation room.


    Old Wang was receiving oxygen when he saw his spouse come in, immediately reproaching her, ¡°I told you not to come, yet you insisted on coming!¡±


    The old lady glared back at him, ¡°How can I be at ease? If you were alright, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have come!¡±


    Old Wang felt warmth in his heart and sighed, ¡°Now that you¡¯re here, what about our son?¡±


    The old lady, sitting by the bed, tenderly held Old Wang¡¯s hand, ¡°If I didn¡¯t come, what would you do?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I fed him a bowl of egg soup, took care of his pee, turned him over, and patted his back¡­¡±


    The old lady detailed everything, from how much he ate, how much he urinated, to how many times she patted his back, whether he drank water or not¡­


    Old Wang looked at the wrinkled face and white-haired, somewhat stooped figure of the old lady in front of him, sighed, and thought to himself how hard it has been for you, my love. With that thought, Old Wang smiled, ¡°My dear.¡± The old lady turned, ¡°What is it?¡±


    Old Wang smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s have dumplings for lunch? I¡¯ll go buy some meat.¡±


    The old lady glared, ¡°Pork costs 40 now, what meat to eat? With the money for meat, I can buy you two more boxes of medicine!¡±


    Old Wang, ¡°Let¡¯s have vegetarian dumplings. After a while, I¡¯ll go buy some radishes!¡±


    Chen Cang was standing in the observation room preparing things, but¡­ he was deeply moved by the casual conversation of the two octogenarians, husband and wife¡­


    It seemed like reprimands from the old man, yet they were his most heartfelt care.


    It seemed like anger from the old lady, yet it was a companion¡¯s enduring support.


    In this tough life, two old people, two walking sticks, supporting each other forward, unafraid of the grim reaper.


    ¡°I told you not to come, yet you insisted on coming!¡±


    ¡°If I didn¡¯t come, what would you do?¡±


    Chen Cang might never forget these two sentences in his lifetime, perhaps the most touching love words he ever heard, surpassing any solemn vows and pledges, surpassing any earth-shattering proclamations¡­


    Chen Cang turned his head away, not even daring to look at the two old people again.


    Because he simply couldn¡¯t help them with anything; he could only watch helplessly as such scenes continued to unfold..

    Chapter 138: Chapter 138: What a Pity You Studied Medicine! (Please Subscribe)


    Since the scheduling system for the emergency department was adjusted, Chen Cang had a lot more random day shifts.


    He didn¡¯t have to spend entire days at the hospital anymore.


    Thus, Chen Cang¡¯s time became comparatively freer.


    Of course, life within the system meant that as long as the leadership turned a blind eye, everything was negotiable. But the moment they decided to nitpick, they could find a plethora of problems, even where there were none.


    Although nothing major happened that morning, he never got a chance to sit down; there was always something to do in the hospital, big or small, making sure he was never idle.


    Finally getting a chance to rest, Qin Yue scampered over, dragged a chair next to Chen Cang, and said with a smug grin, ¡°Chen Cang, my professor has read my paper, guess what he said?¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°He said your article has a fresh theme, a rigorous structure, a clear train of thought, abundant charts, comprehensive data, and could even be called a classic!¡±


    This flattery made Qin Yue extremely comfortable, ¡°Oh, Chen Cang, you¡¯ve been drinking high-sugar drinks today? Your mouth is so sweet! Not bad, not bad, you deserve some praise.¡±


    Wang Qian directly laughed and said, ¡°He¡¯s had too much high-sugar drink, diabetic ketoacidosis, currently delirious! He¡¯s talking nonsense; don¡¯t take his word for it, little Qin.¡±


    Qin Yue shot Wang Qian a look, ¡°Qian¡¯er Brother, I suddenly understand why you, an orthopedics student, didn¡¯t go to orthopedics but to the emergency department!¡±


    Wang Qian, curious, asked, ¡°Why?¡±


    Qin Yue glared hard and said, ¡°Because even the dean thinks you¡¯re lacking!¡± Wang Qian scoffed, ¡°The life in emergency is a training for my technical skills. Speaking of which, can I have a look at your paper?¡±


    Qm Yue, with an air of pride, pulled out a printed paper and handed it to Wang Qian, ¡°Take a look, my teacher said it¡¯s very creative and thoughtful. I could try submitting an English SCI paper; it might even have a high impact factor.¡±


    Chen Cang casually picked up another publication from the desk-it was all in English, likely Qin Yue¡¯s translation.


    After flipping through it casually, Chen Cang noticed that the content was indeed significantly more substantial than before and even more refined; a lot of needless narration had been removed.


    Compared to the previous version, this was much more impressive. It seemed that Professor Xu Mo was truly remarkable.


    Chen Cang might not have been good at writing papers, but he had read enough to have some discernment.


    It¡¯s like with novels, I can¡¯t write them, but I can still tell the good from the bad, and the recently launched one is pretty good¡­


    I he translation was quite decent, and the other party put in a lot of effort.


    Upon reading through the entire paper, Chen Cang felt quite satisfied; it resonated with the unique essence of scientific medical articles and was rigorously scientific.


    But¡­ there were quite a few details that needed to be revised.


    The expression used in professional English differs from common English, and even between different journals, the style of wording and sentence construction can vary considerably.


    I his translation was already quite decent, but there were some imperfections that needed to be addressed.


    It appeared that the translator wasn¡¯t profoundly knowledgeable about surgery, which led to some minor issues with the terminology, phrasing, and descriptions of surgical procedures.


    However, the minor flaws did not detract from the overall quality of the translation. It was a well-translated article.


    Meanwhile, Qin Yue and Wang Qian were enthusiastically discussing the paper.


    Chen Cang simply took out a pen from his pocket and started making corrections directly on the paper.


    After reviewing it, Chen Cang casually placed the paper back on the table.


    Wang Qian said, ¡°Little Qin, I didn¡¯t see that coming. Your paper is quite good. If it gets properly translated into professional English, it could definitely be an SCI publication, and the impact factor wouldn¡¯t be low either!¡±


    Qm Yue said cheerfully, ¡°Yeah, my professor said the same thing. For that reason, he had Professor Wu Xueyu from Dongyang Medical University, who specializes in Medical English, take a look at it; he did the translation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Qian was instantly shocked, ¡°Are you talking about¡­ Professor Wu Xueyu? My god¡­ Professor Wu is a renowned translator of medical literature. He even led the translation of the latest ¡®2019 Guidelines for the Diagnosis of Internal Medicine Diseases¡¯.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, Professor Wu! He and my teacher were university classmates.¡±


    Wang Qian was a student at Dongyang Medical University, and upon hearing the name Wu Xueyu, he was naturally impressed, ¡°Awesome! Professor Wu personally translating, you¡¯ve got some real clout, Qin Yue. It¡¯s in the bag, totally in the bag, I¡¯m telling you. Your article is definitely going to land a high-impact factor. When that happens¡­ just add my name on it, let me experience what it feels like to be on a high-impact SCI journal.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, not minding whether or not additional names were added; after all, only the corresponding author and the first author really carried weight.


    At this moment, smelling an opportunity, Yuan Fan was instantly tempted.


    He hurriedly chimed in, ¡°Qin Yue, can you add my name too?¡±


    Before Qin Yue could even reply, the phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she quickly answered the call:


    ¡°Hello? Hello, Professor Wu, yes! This is Qin Yue.¡±


    ¡°Oh! Okay, okay! Yes, yes, yes, I¡¯ll head over right after work. Thank you, Professor Wu.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, goodbye, Professor Wu!¡±


    After hanging up, Qin Yue grabbed the paper from the table, packed it up, and said cheerfully, ¡°Professor Wu says there are still some imperfections in the translation that need to be fixed. 1¡¯11 be going now.¡±


    Wang Qian nodded, ¡°Professor Wu is always meticulous and thorough. Qin Yue, you must seize this opportunity! Just remember to add my name, and that¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, then glanced at Chen Cang and suddenly noticed that the guy was reading a novel. She couldn¡¯t help but feel irritated and said, pouting, ¡°Me? I¡¯m just a laborer. The real boss here is Chen Cang! We¡¯re all just underlings, with Chen Cang as the corresponding author reaping the real benefits. I even placed Director Li as the second author¡­¡±


    Look at us, slaving away, and the one who benefits most is over there reading novels¡­ I mean, Chen Cang, how can you be so laid back? You¡¯re the corresponding author, shouldn¡¯t you be taking a look?¡±


    Chen Cang, upon hearing this, casually responded, ¡°Isn¡¯t that what you¡¯re here for?¡±


    Qin Yue was instantly enraged, ¡°Scoundrel! When did I belong to you?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed. This woman, her mind works in mysterious ways, ¡°I did take a look at the one you left on the desk. It¡¯s all in English after the translation.


    Not bad¡­¡±


    Qin Yue shot him a disdainful look, ¡°Show-off¡­ It¡¯s all in English, and I don¡¯t even want to look at it. You glanced over it¡­ Shameless! Why didn¡¯t you edit it, then?¡±


    After she said that, she packed up her things and huffed, ¡°I¡¯m off then, Professor Wu is waiting for me.¡±


    All this time, Qin Yue completely ignored Yuan Fan.


    This angered Yuan Fan¡­


    [Ding! Yuan Fan¡¯s affection -5!]


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°What the heck?¡±


    Yuan Fan, damn it¡­


    Did 1 steal your buff, or did I kill your three wolves?


    What¡¯s that got to do with me!


    I can handle Qin Yue¡¯s little lapdog bullying me; they¡¯re good-looking at least. But look at your scruffy face¡­


    Thinking this, Chen Cang looked up furiously, only to catch Yuan Fan staring at him with a dark expression.


    When Yuan Fan saw Chen Cang looking up, he was taken aback, then quickly plastered on a smile and nodded at Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded, ¡°Your acting¡­ It¡¯s praise-worthy.¡±


    Our anti-Japanese dramas aren¡¯t popular because they lack excellent traitor actors like you.


    You¡¯re wasting your talent studying medicine!


    ps: I¡¯ve realized, after messing up a chapter title, some of those reading pirated versions have come to tell me to correct the chapters, haha!

 Chapter 139 - Chapter 139: Chapter 139: What is the Purpose of Peoples

    Chapter 139: Chapter 139: What is the Purpose of People¡¯s


    Efforts? (Please subscribe!)


    Not long after Qin Yue left, Chen Cang received a call from a stranger. After picking up,


    ¡°Is this Specialist Chen? I¡¯m from Lan County People¡¯s Hospital, coming to pick you up,¡± said the driver, who sounded rather young. ¡°1 am now at the west gate of the Provincial Second Hospital. The car is a black Buick, the license plate number is¡­¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll come down right away. Please wait a moment.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang got up, changed his clothes, and prepared to leave.


    Although the emergency department is one of the busiest and most exhausting divisions in a hospital, it also has its benefits.


    In Chen Cang¡¯s view, the biggest advantage is that the emergency department is on the first floor.


    Anyone who has been to a hospital knows how difficult it is to wait for an elevator; the flowers could wilt before you squeeze in.


    When Chen Cang was an intern, he had a month on the 21st floor in the Neurosurgery Department. The inpatient building had a total of 29 floors, and the desperation of not being able to catch an elevator during rush hours was utterly compelling!


    Shifts were handed over promptly at 7:50 in the morning, but Chen Cang had to get on the elevator around seven o¡¯clock.


    Otherwise, after 7:30 when the crowd surged like the sea, the only option was to climb the stairs. The bitter-sweet sensation of climbing to the 21st floor was something for your muscles to savor.


    At that time, both doctors and nurses were starting their shifts, patient families came to visit or check in, and patients or their accompanying family members were just returning to the wards after breakfast. Suddenly, there were so many people that it was impossible to squeeze into an elevator.


    Although the hospital had staff elevators, there was no rule that patients couldn¡¯t use them!


    Since then, Chen Cang had always harbored a fear of the high-rise inpatient department.


    The emergency room was convenient, indeed. Just go out, and there¡¯s the road. Very handy!


    Of course, the emergency department was located on the first floor not for the convenience of Chen Cang¡¯s commuting but to facilitate patient resuscitation¡­


    The west gate of the hospital was also the emergency department¡¯s west gate. Once outside, Chen Cang saw a car waiting at the gate, and he went straight to it and got in.


    Yuan Fan, upon seeing this, was taken aback!


    What was Chen Cang off to do now?


    Flying knife?


    Thinking this, Yuan Fan followed discreetly and just managed to see Chen Cang getting into the car.


    Immediately, a wave of jealousy surged in Yuan Fan¡¯s heart, yet he held his tongue!


    It was then that Wang Qian came along, ¡°Yuan Fan, aren¡¯t you leaving yet?¡±


    Yuan Fan smiled, ¡°Leaving right now! Wang Qian, do you think¡­ Chen Cang is really that impressive? To be able to perform flying knife procedures!¡±


    Wang Qian hesitated, ¡°He¡¯s okay, I guess. Chen Cang works hard, but¡­ you¡¯re impressive too. I¡¯ve seen you perform surgeries really well. Now that we have our own surgery room, with some more practice, maybe you could also go out and do flying knife.¡±


    Wang Qian¡¯s words struck a chord with Yuan Fan.


    It was exactly the rush hour for leaving work, the road was bustling with traffic, and by the time they arrived at Lan County, it was almost past two o¡¯clock.


    Director Duan was already waiting at the restaurant entrance for Chen Cang, accompanied by several doctors from the department, each showing Chen Cang a great deal of respect.


    After the last display of Chen Cang performing surgery, his status among the junior doctors at Lan County People¡¯s Hospital¡¯s General Surgery had been steadily rising.


    The medical field is a technical profession; your competency directly affects how you are perceived by others.


    Even if you are not a director or holding any administrative position, it does not impact the respect others have for you.


    Chen Cang was young, probably even younger than most of the junior doctors present, but that did not affect their opinion of him. On the contrary, they all talked about how promising and bright his future was.


    Some people say, the result of your hard work is that no one spins the lazy Susan when you are picking dishes during a meal.


    If that is a measure of success, Chen Cang was very successful that day!


    Each dish that came out was first presented to Chen Cang, for him to try the specialties of Lan County.


    The many doctors from the People¡¯s Hospital¡¯s General Surgery showed their warmth and enthusiasm.


    Chen Cang finally understood why many doctors were willing to go out and do ¡°flying knife¡± procedures.


    No need to stay in a competitive department, no need to be at the mercy of others¡¯ moods, and going out allowed them to make friends in a joyful environment, and earn money too. Although it was tiring, life is never without its challenges.


    For instance, Chen Cang had eight appendix removal surgeries scheduled for the afternoon.


    It was estimated that he wouldn¡¯t finish until after 9 p.m.


    In today¡¯s surgeries, Chen Cang was the chief surgeon, with each doctor following two cases, Duan Bo assisting, and the surgeries were in the form of laparoscopic appendix removal.


    Chen Cang had mastered appendix removal to the extent that he was under virtually no pressure.


    However, today, Chen Cang didn¡¯t proceed very quickly, because after all he was there to teach others how to perform the surgery, not just to complete a task, collect money, and leave.


    Therefore, he still needed to teach diligently and wholeheartedly.


    One should learn to be grateful for the respect shown by others, not take unconditionally.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t consider himself to be extraordinary; without the system, he might still be just a low-level doctor, not any better than them.


    Thus, for surgeries that were beneficial to patients and helpful to doctors, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t stingy.


    The surgery began with the same McBurney¡¯s point incision in the lower right abdomen.


    Chen Cang lectured as he operated, explaining in great detail.


    He discussed how to choose where to make the incision.


    How to effectively use the less-than-3cm incision to increase the surgical field.


    How to effectively search for the cecum and then find the appendix.


    The surgery went very smoothly.


    One after another, the successful surgeries brought smiles to everyone¡¯s faces.


    But the happiest was undoubtedly Duan Bo; as the assistant, he was gradually beginning to grasp the essentials.


    After three to five cases, Duan Bo was eager to try himself.


    Following the fifth case, Chen Cang simply suggested, ¡°Director Duan, why don¡¯t you give it a try? I¡¯ll watch over you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Duan Bo¡¯s eyes lit up as he said, ¡°Then 1 must trouble Expert Chen.¡±


    Although Duan Bo had never performed a laparoscopic surgery, he had often performed appendix removals. The core of this minimally invasive procedure was to utilize effective space to complete the surgery.


    Chen Cang assisted Duan Bo by retracting, and with Chen Cang¡¯s help, the surgery through the slightly more than two-centimeter incision proceeded smoothly.


    They isolated the appendix step by step, used a tissue forceps to bring the appendix to the incision for removal.


    The surgery went very smoothly, bringing joy to Duan Bo¡¯s face.


    Was it a success?


    Was it really that simple?!


    But was it simple?


    Not really.


    Surgery is such that it is difficult when you don¡¯t know how, but not difficult when you do.


    With the foundation laid by the first surgery, Duan Bo grew more confident.


    For the second case, he boldly said to Chen Cang, ¡°Expert Chen, let Xiao Yang assist; I¡¯ll perform the surgery, and you can guide me.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    The surgery continued.


    Just as smooth!


    Duan Bo suddenly felt how wise it was to have invited Chen Cang for guidance.


    This technique that cost less than twenty-thousand yuan was truly worth it!


    For the last surgery, Duan Bo began to make the incision confidently. This time, he chose a wound of about 2cm.


    But just as he made the cut, he was taken aback by what he saw before him!


    ¡°Severe abdominal adhesion, with inflammatory exudate all around, but¡­. where is the appendix?¡±

 Chapter 141 - Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Huge Explosion (6th Update, Please Subscribe!)

    Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Huge Explosion (6th Update, Please Subscribe!)


    At last!


    In the midst of everyone¡¯s tension and unease, just as the patient was about to feel the onset of pain, the surgery was completed!


    [Ding! Congratulations, respected doctor, you have removed a King-grade appendix monster! You have obtained: 1. A class change certificate; 2. A bottle of stamina potion; 3. Level +1; 4. Equipment: Bethune¡¯s surgical gown; 5. A Skill Book.]


    As expected of a boss, the notification sounds were different after the kill.


    When he saw the equipment, Chen Cang suddenly noticed bursts of purple light!


    Chen Cang was immediately startled!


    Purple items?


    And not just one!


    A class change certificate? A Skill Book? Level +1?


    It was a massive loot drop!


    Chen Gang¡¯s heart leapt with joy and some excitement, just as he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly heard the crowd begin to applaud!


    ¡°Expert Chen, you are really amazing!¡± Doctor Yang, who had witnessed the entire surgery, exclaimed with an excited round of applause!


    It truly was thrilling!


    In surgery, situations change in the blink of an eye, just like on a battlefield!


    Every little change tugs at everyone¡¯s heartstrings.


    The life and health of the patient and the success of the surgery, that is the greatest victory of this battle.


    And every doctor is a fully-armed warrior, prepared at any time to fight disease.


    But when the disease is too strong, leaving the doctor helpless and uncertain about how to proceed, the feeling of powerlessness and desperation is very heart-wrenching!


    Thankfully, there was Chen Cang!


    Just then, Chen Cang seemed to have become a god of war, his delicate and precise operations instantly winning over everyone¡¯s admiration!


    At that moment, Chen Cang was a hero.


    A hero without any doubt.


    A hero who saves the world!


    All the doctors present were excited and thrilled as if they themselves had performed the surgery!


    This kind of touching emotion may be incomprehensible to others, but all the doctors who were there truly empathized.


    Chen Cang merely smiled slightly, saying nothing more.


    At this moment, the patient tried to sit up, but Chen Cang quickly pressed him down, ¡°Rest in bed for the next couple of days, your case is quite special, and the doctors will explain in detail to you after you go back.¡±


    Although the patient did not understand the reason, judging from the surrounding atmosphere: Chen Cang was awesome, listening to him was no issue!


    The patient was wheeled back to the ward with the help of a nurse.


    Duan Bo was still feeling the lingering fear from recalling the recent surgery¡­


    If it hadn¡¯t been for Chen Cang, today¡¯s surgery on the patient would definitely have encountered problems, and even if there were no issues, it surely would have required the patient to be transferred to a hospital in the city.


    Thinking this, Duan Bo couldn¡¯t help but feel gratitude towards Chen Cang!


    ¡°I¡¯m really thankful to you, Expert Chen, if it weren¡¯t for you today, how much more would the patient have had to spend? Never mind the expense, the suffering would have been inevitable too, I say thank you on their behalf!¡±


    The patients in the county hospital were mostly from the surrounding towns and villages, many being elderly farmers.


    Seeking treatment in the county hospital came with a higher reimbursement ratio. Going to the cities involved a lot of expenses and a lower reimbursement rate, not to mention the hassle of traveling back and forth ¨C an appendix removal could easily cost thousands of yuan.


    For the patients, this was undoubtedly a tremendous financial burden.


    Duan Bo was born and raised in the grassroots and also worked there, often witnessing such concerns.


    He was truly grateful to Chen Cang for the patients!


    Chen Cang looked at Duan Bo and said faintly, ¡°We are doctors, this is our duty.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Duan Bo was slightly taken aback, then nodded solemnly, saying, ¡°Yes! To be a medical practitioner is to serve the people! To be a great physician is also to serve the people!¡±


    ¡°If all the physicians in the world were like this, perhaps there would be far fewer disputes, right?¡±


    The surgery, originally scheduled to end at nine, dragged on until almost ten o¡¯clock.


    Everyone had persevered since lunchtime.


    You could say they were both tired and hungry.


    Upon leaving the hospital, the stifling heat hit us, and Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, the air conditioning in the operating room during summer really was comfortable.


    Duan Bo said with a smile, ¡°Expert Chen, let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to try the special dishes of our Lan County.¡±


    The people around also began to chime in, ¡°That¡¯s right, Doctor Chen, let¡¯s all go have a drink or two, we don¡¯t have anything else tonight anyway!¡±


    Once someone made a suggestion, others started to cheer on.


    Surgeons are a bunch of old men who just like to gather in groups to eat and drink.


    Internal medicine just can¡¯t compare with surgery in this aspect.


    Chen Cang had visited quite a few hospitals and rotated through many departments.


    The work environment in internal medicine is generally more somber and oppressive, and the doctors seldom communicate with each other. Essentially, everyone is minding their own business, as the saying goes ¡°Everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep and doesn¡¯t concern themselves with the frost on someone else¡¯s roof.¡±


    Patients usually look for their own attending physician, and if he¡¯s not around, the other doctors might not pay much attention to you, at most they would say the doctor isn¡¯t in.


    Even during rest, they rarely gather together.


    It¡¯s different in surgery; it might be because there are more men, without as many petty concerns, and minor issues are overlooked, leading to a more harmonious relationship.


    Add to that many surgeries require everyone to work together which necessitates mutual assistance, it¡¯s like being teammates or comrades in battle, and naturally, relationships improve.


    Take the emergency department, for example, the clear contrast between Emergency Internal Medicine and Emergency Surgery at Provincial Second Hospital serves as evidence.


    Walking down the street, Chen Cang finally had the chance to see what he had obtained!


    He vaguely remembered there were three items emitting a purple glow; the first being a Career Change Voucher, something like an invitation, a lab coat which surprisingly had a name, called Bai Qiuen¡¯s Lab Coat!


    And there was also a Skill Book.


    [Career Change Voucher: After reaching level 20 and completing the corresponding career change quest, you can activate this voucher. The details await your discovery after reaching level 20!]


    [Strength Potion: After use, you will gain +1 Strength.]


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have reached level 19! You¡¯ve gained 1 skill point, current total: 4.]


    Hearing the prompt, Chen Cang was stunned and didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry!


    After all, he had performed several surgeries that day and was close to leveling up. He hoped his experience points wouldn¡¯t vanish with this level up!


    [Chen Cang, Level: 19, Experience: 2500/3800!]


    Seeing his experience hadn¡¯t disappeared, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling relieved; fortunately, the experience was still there.


    [Bai Qiuen¡¯s Scrubs (Purple): I am Bai Qiuen, not Bethune! This is Doctor Bai Qiuen¡¯s scrubs. After putting on this garment, you will receive: 1. Strength +3;


    Chen Cang was delighted!


    As expected of equipment dropped by a King-level Appendicitis Monster, it was extraordinary!


    Strength +3! Power +3! All that was easy to understand.


    But¡­ what was this Defense +3 about?


    Resistance to physical assault?


    Resistance to corrosion?


    Or protection from sneak attacks by medical disruptors?


    However, the highlight of the equipment was the last feature, the accompanying skill, Bai Qiuen¡¯s Blessing!


    After using it, all his states would return to peak condition!


    What an awesome skill!


    The only pity was that it could be used just once a week!


    Surgery could be exhausting, with some lasting over forty hours. If he had this scrub, Chen Cang felt many things would change.


    But¡­ Chen Cang had a question: could he only enjoy these effects while wearing the scrubs?


    Thinking this¡­ Chen Cang decided he would have to keep a set of scrubs in his bedroom as backup!


    Thinking of himself still in a vigorous state post-operation made Chen Cang believe these scrubs were well worth it!


    The last item was a purple Skill Book!


    What would be inside?


    (Skill Book: After using it, you will acquire one specific basic skill at an advanced level. The skill effect is chosen by yourself.]


    What a great item!


    This meant that he was about to receive an advanced-level basic skill, of which he could choose the effect.


    At this moment, Chen Cang only wanted to say to that Appendix Monster one thing, ¡°The friend of a King is a King. Where are your friends?¡±


    Not ten minutes into the walk, Duan Bo pointed at a restaurant up ahead and said, ¡°Specialist Chen, the food here is something you¡¯ve never tasted outside. I¡¯m treating you to something fresh today!¡±


    At that moment, Duan Bo¡¯s phone rang!


    Duan Bo answered the call, ¡°Chief, it¡¯s an emergency. We have a group of patients in coma and shock in the emergency department, and they need our surgical consultation for Deep Venous Catheterization. The patient situation is special¡­ I can¡¯t get it done!¡±


    Duan Bo¡¯s face changed immediately: ¡°How many people?¡±


    The junior doctor¡¯s voice was trembling, ¡°There are five, all with severe burns, and they¡¯re in shock now. They need to be transferred to Anyang City, but their current condition is very bad, and they need to be treated in advance with the Deep Venous Catheterization Technique!¡±


    Duan Bo immediately replied: ¡°Okay! Keep a close watch on the patients, we¡¯ll be there in a few minutes!¡±


    Turning around, Duan Bo said, ¡°Dr. Chen, there¡¯s trouble in the department¡­¡± ps: Writing this made me hungry¡­

    Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Venipuncture Catheterization! (Please Subscribe)


    Upon hearing Duan Bo¡¯s words, how could anyone continue to eat?


    They bolted for the door!


    Fortunately, the hospital wasn¡¯t far away, and with everyone sprinting like it was a 100-meter dash, it took less than two and a half minutes to reach the hospital.


    As soon as they entered the emergency room, they saw the on-duty emergency physician sweating profusely, holding a puncture kit and looking at the patient, at a loss for what to do, while Zhang Peng from general surgery was also frantically struggling to insert the catheter.


    Five ambulances parked outside the emergency department, like harbingers of doom, their flashing lights counting down the time, reflecting the tick of the clock in everyone¡¯s hearts.


    Zhang Peng¡¯s head was covered in sweat, ¡°Dr. Wang, how¡¯s it going over there?¡±


    The emergency physician Wang Ke was also anxious, ¡°It¡¯s no use, I can¡¯t get it in. The patient¡¯s local tissue is too damaged, I simply can¡¯t find a vein! Goddamnit¡­ Where is it, damn it!¡±


    The anxious Wang Ke had started to curse. They really couldn¡¯t afford any delays; every second wasted was significant. The patient was in such a critical condition from the burn shock, the risk was too high.


    The other doctors from the 120 emergency ambulances weren¡¯t idling either, attempting deep venous catheterizations on the patient, but even they, who frequently performed such procedures, were at a loss at the moment!


    Once!


    Failure!


    Again!


    Still a failure!


    A third time¡­


    They didn¡¯t dare to attempt it anymore.


    With failure, whether they could insert it or not wasn¡¯t the issue, the risk of accidentally puncturing the subclavian artery during the procedure could be disastrous!


    The patient was already in shock with extremely low blood pressure; any bleeding at this time could have unimaginable consequences!


    For a moment, the emergency accompanying doctors began to tremble as well!


    What to do?


    Wang Ke couldn¡¯t hold back anymore, ¡°Zhang Peng, damn! Didn¡¯t you say your chief was coming? Isn¡¯t he nearby? Why hasn¡¯t he arrived? If he doesn¡¯t arrive soon, the patient will be gone before we even get to Anyang City!¡±


    How could Zhang Peng not be worried?


    Seeing the patient¡¯s life hanging by a thread, he was already beside himself with anxiety. Hearing what Wang Ke said, he retorted, ¡°Where¡¯s your chief? At least our chief knows to come over, but yours? He acts like an idiot, won¡¯t even pick up the phone. Is this how an emergency department chief should act?¡±


    Both were extremely irritable, understandably so due to the urgency, but helpless and left with no choice but to call for help.


    Just then, Duan Bo ran in panting, ¡°Stop the noise!¡±


    Seeing Duan Bo and the others enter, the duty doctor in the emergency room looked as if he had seen a savior, ¡°Chief Duan, good to see you!¡±


    Wang Ke stopped cursing and got up quickly, ¡°Chief Duan!¡±


    Duan Bo didn¡¯t say much, hurriedly checked the patient¡¯s condition, and after understanding the situation, frowned, ¡°We have to use the subclavian vein!¡±


    The patient already in shock, Duan Bo opened a brand-new puncture kit and used a syringe as a pillow for a tentative puncture, keeping the needle at about 30 degrees to the skin the whole time, pushing the needle in while pulling back, but¡­


    The needle was in about 4cm deep, yet he still couldn¡¯t draw blood!


    This stunned Duan Bo!


    He couldn¡¯t go any deeper at this point, or else he might damage the subclavian artery.


    Duan Bo promptly withdrew the needle, pulling back as he did so, but there was still no blood.


    This made Duan Bo somewhat nervous. He quickly pulled the needle back to subcutaneous level and continued to change the direction of insertion, attempting more probing punctures!


    If he couldn¡¯t even perform a probing puncture properly, how on earth was he supposed to manage catheterization?


    At that moment, a nurse suddenly said, ¡°Chief Duan, the patient¡¯s blood pressure has dropped again!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face changed!


    For a shock patient with very low blood pressure and terrible peripheral circulation, central venous administration is the fastest way!


    And yet at this time, the venous catheterization couldn¡¯t be completed!


    It had become a severe obstacle to the patient¡¯s resuscitation efforts!


    Chen Cang quickly stepped forward, ¡°Get me a puncture kit, please.¡±


    The nurse was startled, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Before Chen Cang could speak, Duan Bo intervened, ¡°This is Dr. Chen from the Provincial No. 2 Hospital¡¯s emergency department. You all cooperate fully with Dr. Chen, and if there¡¯s any problem, I¡¯ll take the responsibility!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the nurse was taken aback, then quickly nodded, taking out disposable gloves and a puncture kit!


    Chen Gang¡¯s venous puncture catheterization skill level¡­ was pitiable.


    It seemed to be only at a basic level.


    Logically speaking, the Deep Venous Catheterization Technique is an essential skill for emergency physicians, but because venous puncture can easily go wrong, especially with critical and severely ill patients, Li Baoshan was very cautious, generally letting senior doctors do the job.


    Pulling out today¡¯s Skill Book, Chen Cang chose to activate it right away!


    ¡°Ding! Skill Book successfully used, congratulations on acquiring the Deep Venous Catheterization Technique! Please select an effect.¡±


    As Chen Cang hesitated, Wang Ke suddenly said anxiously, ¡°Director Duan, 1 don¡¯t dare to puncture anymore, otherwise there might be problems. The patient has severe burns, and I simply cannot find the deep vein!¡±


    Chen Cang had intended to choose the fast catheterization.


    But after some hesitation, he opted for precise catheterization!


    ¡°Venous Puncture Catheterization: Advanced, Special Effect: Precise Catheterization!¡±


    Chen Cang put on the gloves, opened the puncture kit, and began the puncture with the needle directly.


    Dr. Yang, who was nearby, saw this and was about to speak, ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ you don¡¯t have to use a syringe to try puncturing in advance¡­¡±


    Before he could finish,


    Chen Cang stood up and said to the nurse, ¡°Give me another puncture kit!¡±


    The nearby nurse couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Dr. Chen, you should first use a syringe to probe, this way using one puncture kit after another¡­¡±


    At that moment, the chubby, round-faced nurse standing by the side preparing medications for the patient suddenly spoke up, ¡°Teacher Liu, Dr. Chen has already successfully punctured!¡±


    With that, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn!


    So quickly?


    Others had been trying for half the day without success, and Dr. Chen succeeded on his first attempt?


    Moreover, without even trying¡­


    That was truly¡­ incredibly awesome!


    Duan Bo was also somewhat astonished; could this young Chen be that strong?


    Without pausing, Chen Cang took the puncture kit and said to the chubby, round-faced nurse following him, ¡°Help me prepare the next puncture kit.¡±


    The little nurse nodded excitedly, turning around to follow Chen Cang with three puncture kits in her arms.


    One minute¡­


    One!


    One minute¡­


    One!


    The round-faced little nurse watched with overwhelming excitement, somewhat thrilled!


    After all, Dr. Chen was too fast.


    He inserted the needle in one go, very precisely.


    In less than ten minutes, Chen Cang had successfully performed the procedure on all five patients, leaving the attending doctors from the emergency center gobsmacked: who was this surge of awesomeness from?


    So strong!


    The general surgeons were looking at Chen Cang with eyes full of admiration.


    The nurses hurriedly administered the medications, and the patients¡¯ conditions showed some improvement.


    Wang Ke, one of the emergency physicians, came over excitedly, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so awesome, I¡¯m Wang Ke, from the emergency department.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I¡¯m Chen Cang, also in emergency medicine!¡±


    Wang Ke grinned gratefully, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you today, those patients¡­. it¡¯s hard to say!¡±

 Chapter 143 - Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Are We Really That Bad? (Please Subscribe!)

    Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Are We Really That Bad? (Please Subscribe!)


    The staff at the 120 Emergency Center couldn¡¯t dare linger after pushing the patient onto the ambulance; they had to set off for An Yang City immediately. Chen Cang suddenly said to the accompanying doctor, ¡°1¡¯11 follow along. It¡¯s good to have someone on the way to watch over things. I¡¯m Chen Cang from the Emergency Department of the Provincial Second Hospital.¡±


    Among the doctors who came with the ambulance, Ma Chunyang was a seasoned doctor from the 120 Emergency Center who had been on the front lines for over twenty years. Now in his forties, he had become a minor supervisor.


    Yet when it came to critical, severe illnesses and special rescues, he was still out there accompanying the ambulance!


    To be honest, Chen Cang¡¯s venipuncture just now had somewhat shocked Ma Chunyang.


    How many punctures would it take to master such a technique for venous catheter placement?


    But how could such a young doctor have such skills?


    When Ma Chunyang heard Chen Cang say this, his eyes lit up. Having a reliable person like him along was not only lucky for them but also for the patient.


    With this in mind, Ma Chunyang hurriedly shook Chen Cang¡¯s hands, ¡°Then I¡¯ll be troubling you, Doctor Chen. Oh! My name is Ma Chunyang, an emergency doctor from the 120 Emergency Center.¡±


    Without much ado, the group was ready to set off for An Yang City.


    It wasn¡¯t long after the 120 Emergency ambulance had left.


    The emergency department at Lan County People¡¯s Hospital finally quieted down!


    For grassroots hospitals, every time the 120 siren sounds, it¡¯s a serious test for them.


    What is emergency care?


    Some compare it to detectives: for any sudden incident, you must rush to the rescue; you are the last line of defense for people¡¯s lives.


    This incident also gave everyone food for thought!


    Their technical level¡­ truly needed improvement.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for Chen Cang, what would have happened today?


    They might have just hurriedly sent the patient off in the ambulance to An Yang City.


    Without deep venous medication on the road, whether the patient could hold on might just be left to fate.


    Thinking this, Duan Bo felt powerless, a sense of helplessness, incompetence, and impotence washed over him, preventing him from feeling any joy from his accomplishments.


    Looking out at the still night through the window, Duan Bo went outside, took out a cigarette, and sat on the steps in silence.


    Chen Cang saved these five people, but who could save the countless others from the past and the many more waiting to be saved in the future? Could they just sit back and wait for death?


    But what could he do?


    In the face of such situations, Duan Bo could only sit there feeling helpless. This was a matter for the nation, for countless individuals; what significance did he, a mere director of the county hospital¡¯s surgical department, have?


    Duan Bo was born in a village under Lan County, and after graduating from university, he had the opportunity to stay in An Yang City; however, he chose to go back home and joined Lan County People¡¯s Hospital.


    Back then, the grassroots hospitals were filled with secondary vocational and junior college graduates, and Duan Bo¡¯s arrival undoubtedly made him a person of interest to the leadership. It took ten years for him to become the director of General Surgery.


    Having grown up at the grassroots level, he too saw the gap between Lan County and the big cities.


    He had the desire to change things but lacked the ability to make significant changes.


    Just like today¡¯s situation, Lan County still had an ambulance to send the patient to the hospital in time, but what about those villagers with acute myocardial infarction? They might not even make it to the hospital before passing away, right?


    The cigarette was quickly finished.


    He exhaled a cloud of thick smoke.


    Duan Bo took a deep breath. What was the use of thinking so much?


    Just doing well with his own responsibilities was enough.


    Healthcare wasn¡¯t a one-man job; it was a matter for the nation. The imperfections and irrationalities of the healthcare system weren¡¯t something he could change on his own.


    At that moment, a group inside the emergency department was still discussing the scene they had just witnessed.


    ¡°That young doctor was amazing, one per minute, so impressive!¡± exclaimed Nurse A excitedly.


    Nurse B: ¡°Right, and he¡¯s so handsome too, didn¡¯t you guys take a good look at him? When he¡¯s serious¡­ he really looks dashing.¡±


    The round-faced young nurse who had just assisted Chen Cang with the puncture sighed but was in no mood to discuss.


    Just then, Yang Zhong from the surgery department turned around and couldn¡¯t find the chief. After stepping out, he saw Duan Bo sitting on the ground smoking and was momentarily taken aback before walking over and sitting next to him.


    When Duan Bo saw Yang Zhong coming over, he smiled: ¡°Call everyone, let¡¯s go have a meal together.¡±


    Yang Zhong didn¡¯t take up the conversation and, looking at Duan Bo, said, ¡°Chief¡­ are we really that bad?¡±


    With a single sentence, Yang Zhong rendered Duan Bo speechless!


    Are we really that bad?


    Duan Bo¡¯s hand holding the cigarette trembled!


    Right!


    Why am I thinking so much?


    We just need to do our own jobs well, we improve our own skills, cure every single patient of ours, that¡¯s enough.


    Thinking so much¡­ for what?


    After the Emergency Center¡¯s vehicles arrived in Anyang City, they began to act separately, some were sent to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, some to Dongda First Hospital, but not a single one to the Provincial Second Hospital. The reason was simple: the Provincial Second Hospital didn¡¯t have a burn unit, and their ICU could only maintain the vital signs of these patients.


    Chen Cang followed the vehicle to Dongda First Hospital and, as he had called ahead, the hospital had already prepared.


    As Chen Cang was helping a patient off the vehicle, Wang Xiangjun suddenly recognized Chen Cang.


    ¡°Xiao Chen? What are you doing on the 120?¡±


    Chen Cang spoke briefly about his involvement in the rescue, but omitted the part about doing a flying knife procedure, saying he had some business in Lian County.


    Ma Chunyang also nodded: ¡°Thanks to Doctor Chen, otherwise¡­¡±


    Wang Xiangjun nodded: ¡°Hmm, Xiao Chen, you should go get some rest.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and left, feeling truly tired today.


    [Ding! Wang Xiangjun¡¯s favorability score +5!]


    Chen Cang shook his head with a smile and stood up to leave.


    On his way out, there were no more little yellow bikes; after the company went bankrupt, Chen Cang¡¯s deposit had never been refunded. He occasionally used to see the bikes around, but now they were just lying in the green belts on the roadside, nowhere else to be found.


    Isn¡¯t the development of the medical sector similarly unpredictable?


    Today had given Chen Cang a lot to ponder. Under the polarity, grassroots hospitals were still relatively backward, with a scarcity of talent and shortage of medical resources.


    Chen Cang sighed.


    We are all groping forward, and compared to the beginning, we have progressed a lot.


    We still have to move forward step by step¡­


    Dongda First Hospital wasn¡¯t far from the Provincial Second Hospital or from where Chen Cang lived, so he strolled back home.


    While walking on the road, Chen Cang suddenly received a phone call: ¡°Xiao Chen, this is Zhang Youfu.¡±


    Chen Cang became curious upon hearing this, wondering what Zhang Youfu would call him for.


    Chen Cang hurriedly replied: ¡°Director Zhang, hello.¡±


    Zhang Youfu laughed: ¡°Well, Xiao Chen, tomorrow I¡¯m going to attend a health program on Dongyang TV station, and the hospital hopes I can promote your laparoscopic surgery¡¯s minimally invasive wound to boost the hospital¡¯s popularity after I go there.. Could you send me the PowerPoint presentation from that day, if it¡¯s convenient for you?¡±

 Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Someone Has Taken a Fancy to Qin Yue (Please Subscribe)

    Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Someone Has Taken a Fancy to Qin Yue (Please Subscribe)


    Zhang Youfu is going on TV?


    Is he really that awesome?!


    Chen Cang thought about this and couldn¡¯t help but feel a twinge of jealousy, wondering when he himself might have the honor of appearing on television.


    He thought about how his father, Chen Dahai, would definitely buy two jin of bulk white wine, call over some old friends, cook up a few of his best dishes, and have a bragging fest!


    The old saying goes, ¡°Thirty years on, we admire the father for the son, and thirty years later, the son for the father.¡±


    I he greatest hope in Chen Dahai¡¯s life was his two sons, and his greatest pride, too.


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang added Zhang Youfu¡¯s WeChat and sent over the PPT.


    Walking on the road and feeling bored, Chen Cang curiously checked out Zhang Youfu¡¯s Moments.


    He was instantly taken aback. In his mind, a doctor¡¯s Moments should look like this: the latest guideline released, an upcoming conference, crowdfunding for someone¡­


    But Zhang Youfu¡¯s Moments looked like this:


    ¡°When full, nothing tastes good: Attach picture: Australian lobsters¡­¡±


    ¡°One must not let oneself down: Attach picture: Chengyang Lake hairy crabs¡­¡±


    ¡°Life requires a sense of ritual, Attach picture: Some high-class Japanese cuisine¡­¡±


    ¡°Celebrating the 22nd wedding anniversary with my wife: Attach picture: Sanya¡¯s Ends of the Earth¡­¡±


    ¡°My son has learned how to fly a plane, and as an old driver, I¡¯m really relieved: Attach picture: Some U.S. civilian flight training ground¡­¡±


    This must be what a winner in life looks like, right?


    Chen Cang felt that to live like Director Zhang, one must truly know how to enjoy life.


    Showcasing delicious food, affection, and his son every other day, he¡¯s really a show-off¡­


    With new posts every day, Chen Cang was about to exit when he suddenly saw another update from Zhang Youfu:


    ¡°Air, I¡¯m going on TV tomorrow, feeling a bit nervous. Should I wear a black tie or a red one?¡±


    Chen Cang:¡­


    Zhang Youfu and Li Baoshan are completely different kinds of people, with entirely different attitudes towards life, styles of dealing with things, and so on, a whole ten-year gap between them. Their outlook on life is worlds apart.


    In comparison, Chen Cang envied Zhang Youfu even more, because he could live life as he pleased, not needing his children to tirelessly strive for prestigious schools. Instead, when their test scores were average, he could offer them the opportunity to study abroad, working hard to expand their channels and resources.


    There really aren¡¯t many in the medical circle who dare to post on Moments so freely; most are the type who earn money and spend it in secret. Openly showing off on Moments like Director Zhang is indeed rare.


    But Chen Cang felt it wasn¡¯t about showing off; it was a lifestyle, regardless of right or wrong. He was quite envious, anyway.


    After all, the man hadn¡¯t stolen or robbed. He earned his money with his skills. Wasn¡¯t he allowed to enjoy life?


    Doctors reaching the level of a senior attending physician would be at a well-off standard of living, and as a director, they would be part of the middle-income group. Including his skills with the scalpel, someone like Zhang Youfu should be making about one million a year, a big shot in the field of liver transplant surgery in Dongyang Province.


    To earn money through hardship and spend it in joy ¨C doctors are usually too busy to even spend their money, but Zhang Youfu really knows how to live.


    After leaving the hospital at noon, Qin Yue hurried to the Dongyang Medical University.


    She was very concerned about the article, knowing that publishing a high-impact SCI paper would no doubt be a great benefit for her future development.


    Wu Xueyu¡¯s family lived in the residential building on the campus of Dongyang Medical University¡ªan old campus lush with trees and blooming flowers, where the foliage just managed to shield the sunlight as she walked through.


    Qin Yue wasn¡¯t sure why Professor Wu had asked her to visit his home at this time. It was noon, and she worried about imposing.


    After knocking, Wu Xueyu opened the door, and, seeing Qin Yue, he smiled and said, ¡°Little Qin is here, come in for lunch.¡±


    Qin Yue felt somewhat awkward. Would it be proper to refuse?


    Clearly, it wouldn¡¯t be proper. But not refusing felt a bit embarrassing, too.


    Wu Xueyu¡¯s wife, seeing Qin Yue, hurriedly smiled and said to her son, ¡°Little Wu, fetch some slippers for Little Qin.¡±


    The warm hospitality of the family left Qin Yue feeling flattered.


    Sitting at the dining table, Wu Xueyu said with a smile, ¡°Little Qin, don¡¯t be shy at home. I had a great relationship with your teacher when we were young!¡±


    Wu Xueyu was lean and wore gold-rimmed glasses, which gave him a cultured appearance. His wife was also a professor at Dongyang Medical University and the head of gynecology at Dongda Second Hospital. Her name was Zhang Jinfen.


    Although Zhang Jinfen might not be considered very beautiful, her warmth radiated when she smiled. With her hair up and an apron wrapped around her, she looked less like a department head and more like a housewife.


    Zhang Jinfen placed some food on Qin Yue¡¯s plate, smiling as she said, ¡°Little Qin, I¡¯ve read your paper too. It¡¯s really quite insightful and innovative! Plus, it¡¯s practical. The research topic is very valuable. Truly a case of ¡®the student surpassing the master¡¯!¡±


    Qin Yue laughed shyly, ¡°Professor Zhang, don¡¯t praise me too much. I¡¯m going to become conceited.¡±


    Zhang Jinfen suddenly laughed out loud, ¡°Oh, what are you calling me professor for? Just call me Auntie. I often deal with your dad, too. I just didn¡¯t expect the Dean Qin to have such a lovely and likeable daughter. Auntie doesn¡¯t have a daughter, so I¡¯ve always liked girls. They¡¯re not like boys who never care for home and don¡¯t know how to be considerate!¡±


    At this, Zhang Jinfen suddenly slapped her forehead, ¡°Oh my, look at me getting all excited and forgetting to introduce you. This is my son, Wu Zhe. He just finished his Ph.D. this year. His advisor wanted to keep him at Xiehe, but his father and I wanted him to come back. After all, he¡¯s our only child. Besides, Dongyang isn¡¯t bad, right?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Brother Wu is really impressive!¡±


    Wu Zhe smiled, ¡°Just call me Wu Zhe. You¡¯re quite remarkable, too a master¡¯s degree from Xiangya. Actually, you could have continued straight to a Ph.D.


    Why didn¡¯t you have Professor Xu keep you for a doctorate?¡±


    Qin Yue giggled, ¡°I¡¯m not one for great ambitions. I just want to start working soon, fulfill my parents¡¯ wishes of marrying off and having grandchildren early.¡±


    After they had chatted for a while, Zhang Jinfen suddenly asked with a smile, ¡°Little Qin, do you have a partner yet?¡±


    Qin Yue shook her head, ¡°Not yet. I¡¯m quite busy every day in the emergency department at the provincial Second Hospital, no time for that.¡±


    Zhang Jinfen¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Hehe, yes, studying medicine is indeed busy and tiring. The circle is small, and before you know it, the years have passed.¡±


    After eating, Wu Xueyu turned to Qin Yue and said, ¡°Little Qin, come to the study with me. I was thinking over the translation I finished for you yesterday, there are some issues, and we need to make some revisions.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded and followed Wu Xueyu into the study.


    Zhang Jinfen then pulled her son aside and whispered with a suggestive smirk, ¡°Little Zhe? What do you think? Do you like her?¡±


    Wu Zhe became visibly embarrassed, ¡°Alright¡­ Mom! This, are you preparing for a side job as a matchmaker upon retirement or what?¡±


    Zhang Jinfen immediately glared at Wu Zhe, ¡°You rascal, you¡¯re already 30! Still no partner.. If I¡¯m not worried, who will be?¡±

    Chapter 145: Chapter 145 (Please Subscribe)


    In the study, Wu Xueyu pulled over a chair for Qin Yue, who then took a seat opposite him.


    ¡°Xiao Qin, after you went back yesterday, 1 took another close look and felt that there were some issues. Then Wu Zhe happened to come back, he specializes in surgery and noticed some problems with the professional terminology and descriptions after looking at it.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not specialized in surgery, so I asked a colleague to make some revisions. Take out your old draft and 1¡¯11 point them out to you.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, hurriedly took the thesis she had printed out yesterday from her bag, and passed both the English and Chinese versions to him.


    As Wu Xueyu started to flip through the English version, he was immediately taken aback; he found that someone had already made some edits and markings on it.


    Wu Xueyu first frowned slightly, then began to read carefully. The sketched out changes were already made on the side, with certain words directly replaced and some sentences rewritten¡­


    After scrutinizing it once through, Wu Xueyu weighed his thoughts and suddenly found that the revisions were quite good, even better than what his own classmates had suggested.


    With this realization, Wu Xueyu smiled, placed the thesis on the table, and said to Qin Yue, ¡°Xiao Qin, whoever edited your thesis did an impressive job. 1 don¡¯t think these terms need to be changed; just follow their suggestions. The person must be in the surgical field, the choice of words and sentence structure are very appropriate.¡±


    Qin Yue was somewhat stunned, ¡°Ah? Professor Wu, do you mean¡­¡±


    Wu Xueyu pushed the thesis towards her, ¡°Just go with the modifications here, and it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to get your paper published.¡±


    Qin Yue quickly responded, ¡°1 didn¡¯t have anyone edit it, 1¡­ 1 haven¡¯t even reviewed it properly myself.¡±


    At this point, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but blush.


    Wu Xueyu was taken aback, ¡°Ah? Then who made these changes?¡±


    Confused, Qin Yue took the thesis and was instantly dumbfounded: Who doodled all over my thesis!


    Suddenly, Qin Yue remembered Chen Cang mentioning he¡¯d looked over her thesis¡­


    Could it be Chen Cang?


    No way, right?


    It wasn¡¯t that Qin Yue looked down on Chen Cang, but¡­ well, it was just that she did!


    Because this translation required a solid foundation in specialized medical English, and Chen Cang had only an undergraduate degree¡ª how could he have been exposed to medical English? Not to mention Chen Cang, even she couldn¡¯t understand it, let alone translate it¡­


    Wu Xueyu smiled, ¡°This translation is pretty good. When you get back, just modify the electronic version, and it should be fine.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded blankly.


    Seeing that Qin Yue was about to leave, Zhang Jinfen said with concern, ¡°Xiao Qin, let Xiao Zhe take you.¡±


    After a round of polite refusals, Qin Yue hurriedly left.


    In the morning, having finished a surgery and returned to the ward by ten o¡¯clock, Chen Cang noticed his experience points, almost 300 short of leveling up¡ªhe could likely handle all the cases today without much trouble.


    After coming back, he found Chang Lina and several nurses engaged in an indignant discussion in the doctors¡¯ office!


    Chang Lina, speaking as someone seasoned, addressed Qin Lele, ¡°Lele, you¡¯re just too naive. If it were me, I¡¯d smack him straight away, see if he still dares to show off!¡±


    Qin Lele felt a wave of embarrassment, ¡°Sister Lina, if you do that and cause problems, you¡¯ll be responsible!¡±


    Qin Yue was also among them, and the discussion was lively and spirited.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What are you guys discussing so animatedly?¡±


    As soon as Chang Lina saw Chen Cang, she hurriedly said, ¡°Doctor Chen, you¡¯re finally here. You need to take care of your patient in bed 12.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°What happened to bed 12?¡±


    Chang Lina pushed Qin Lele toward him, ¡°You let Lele tell you.¡±


    When Qin Lele saw Chen Cang, her face flushed, ¡°Doctor Chen, the patient in bed 12 should be discharged by now. It¡¯s been a week, and there¡¯s nothing wrong anymore.¡±


    Seeing that Qin Lele was hesitating, Chang Lina was so irritated that she spoke up directly, ¡°Doctor Chen, that guy in bed 12 asked Lele to clean his catheter three times a day, once in the morning, once at night, and even at noon ¨C look how pleased he is about it!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately felt embarrassed and understood what was going on. He hastily apologized to Qin Lele, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Lele. I¡¯ll go talk to him today, but¡­ didn¡¯t I order his catheter to be removed?¡±


    Chang Lina scoffed, ¡°He doesn¡¯t want it removed, claiming there¡¯s still an infection and that it needs to stay in another day. If you ask me, he¡¯s just an old pervert, an exhibitionist! He¡¯s a freak trying to take advantage.¡±


    Chang Lina was an experienced nurse and gathered everyone around, saying, ¡°No, this won¡¯t do. Looks like I need to impart some wisdom to all of you, or you¡¯ll definitely suffer losses!¡±


    After finishing, Chang Lina lowered her voice, ¡°As a nurse, especially ones as angelic as us, you must learn to protect yourself. I¡¯ll share some advice with you! Hospitals are public places after all, and those people wouldn¡¯t dare physically harass you. At most, they¡¯d make cheeky comments or give challenging looks. But then there¡¯s the type like the exhibitionist we encountered today!¡±


    ¡°These perverts just want to see you all flustered, blushing, and nervous! Let me tell you, when you encounter this kind of situation, you need to pretend to be unimpressed and aloof, casually glance down at the thing with a 45-degree angle, and remember this! The crucial part¡¯s coming up. You must speak breezily, give a cold snort, and say, ¡®So small and still daring to show it off?¡¯ Remember, your voice must be quiet, but he definitely has to hear you! 1 guarantee he won¡¯t dare to expose himself again!¡±


    Qin Yue asked curiously, ¡°But¡­ wouldn¡¯t they feel insulted by that? Wouldn¡¯t they complain about you?¡±


    Chang Lina shook her head and patted Qin Yue¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Doesn¡¯t he have any self-awareness? If he dares to report you, just claim that he¡¯s sexually harassing you, that he¡¯s an exhibitionist and a freak!¡±


    ¡°Also, when you¡¯re doing a dressing change or giving an injection, some people will intentionally expose themselves too much. In those moments, you must be ruthless. When you give an injection, you must do it where it hurts the most, and never hold back! Give them a taste of your own bitter medicine, and I guarantee they won¡¯t dare next time!¡±


    While saying this, Chang Lina recalled a past incident, ¡°One time, 1 was changing the dressing for a patient with an inguinal condition, and suddenly he pulled his pants down. I just picked up the sheet, nonchalantly covered him up, and said sympathetically, ¡®It¡¯s chilly out, it¡¯s all shrunk from the cold, better keep it covered!¡±¡®


    ¡°The patient was so touched by my words, he thought 1 was going to report him, pfft! Naive¡­ it¡¯s not such a big deal, I¡¯ve seen much more than he has.¡±


    Chen Cang nearly burst into laughter!


    Chang Lina was truly a pro!


    Chang Lina continued, ¡°But remember one thing, never lay a hand on it!¡±


    Xiaolin immediately asked, ¡°Why not? Didn¡¯t you just say we should slap it away?¡±


    ¡°Because after that incident, the patient never recovered! He never got up again, and when his family found out, they made a fuss at the hospital every day, demanding financial compensation.¡±


    ¡°In the end, there was no compensation, but my mentor ended up marrying that man, who knows how that turned out!¡±


    Everyone sighed¡­


    Xiaolin asked, ¡°How do you differentiate harassment? What if someone doesn¡¯t understand?¡±


    Qin Yue was even more eager and replied directly, ¡°Isn¡¯t that simple? Easy question. If it¡¯s a guy you find attractive and like, then it¡¯s called flirting; if he¡¯s unattractive and you don¡¯t like him, then it¡¯s harassment!¡±


    All the young nurses nodded as if that made perfect sense.


    Chen Cang felt a shiver, these women.


    However, there were still many single young nurses in the hospital, and considering how small the medical community is, about one-third of the young staff were single. So, if any handsome young man goes to the hospital and takes a shine to our nurses, he must seize the opportunity!


    But strategy is essential¡­ Pretending to be helpless after being hit is definitely not an advisable tactic!


    Even if she ends up marrying you, well¡­ you can only look..

    Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Level Up to 20! (Please Subscribe)


    It was just after two in the afternoon when the emergency room received a young couple, likely two college students.


    To be exact, it was a girl of about twenty years old accompanied by a delicate- looking boy. The boy carried the girl into the emergency room, his face flushed with panic and his expression extremely tense!


    The duty internist today was Yan Ming, a man in his forties who was fond of carrying a thermos. He used to work in endocrinology, but due to a medical incident, he was disciplined by the hospital and suspended for two years. Afterward, the department didn¡¯t want him back, so he ended up in the emergency room as an internist.


    He clocked in and out on the dot every day, never meddling in affairs that weren¡¯t his concern, and even his own tasks, he handled as little as possible.


    At fifty, his passion for work had faded long ago. He spent his days with a thermos filled with goji berries and chrysanthemums, offering a smile and a friendly greeting to everyone he saw.


    At this moment, upon seeing the patient, Yan Ming hurriedly signaled for a nurse to bring over a bed and placed the girl on it.


    The girl was quite pretty, with a melon-seed face, fair skin, long hair, and fashionable dress. However, she lay on the bed with stiff limbs, her hands cramped and unable to spread like chicken claws, and she was unable to speak.


    It was then that they learned the girl¡¯s name was Li Rongrong, and the boy was Yang Lin!


    This was Yang Lin¡¯s first time encountering such a situation. At just twenty years old, he had no idea what had happened and quickly rushed her to the nearest hospital¡ªthe Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s emergency department.


    At this time, Yang Lin mustered his courage, looked at Yan Ming with unease, and asked, ¡°Doctor! What¡­ what¡¯s wrong with my girlfriend?¡±


    Yan Ming, too, was somewhat puzzled by the situation as it was not a common one.


    Could it be epilepsy?


    With this thought, Yan Ming looked at the girl and suddenly asked, ¡°Can you hear me speaking?¡±


    Li Rongrong¡¯s eyes were bright and full of life. She struggled to nod her head, but when she tried to open her mouth to speak, no words came out¡ªonly inarticulate sounds, while tears streamed down her cheeks in her panic.


    The more she panicked, the more afraid she became. Lying on the bed, she gasped for air, trying to speak but failing despite her efforts.


    At this moment, Li Rongrong was terrified inside, thinking, Could I have contracted some terminal illness?


    With that thought, her heart sank to the bottom, and she looked at Yang Lin with a face full of sorrow.


    Yang Lin was also young, just past twenty, and equally at a loss in the face of this situation. His hands squeezed his girlfriend¡¯s, and he dared not let go.


    He wanted to act like a man, to provide shelter for his woman, but the slightly green boy was somewhat bewildered.


    Yang Lin looked at Li Rongrong with a tender and naively resolute expression in his eyes, the very picture of youthful determination.


    Yan Ming, however, frowned in deep thought.


    It could be epilepsy!


    But it didn¡¯t quite fit!


    Should he call for a consultation?


    At that thought, Yan Ming looked at Yang Lin and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your relationship to her?¡±


    Yang Lin¡¯s eyes showed hesitation. After a moment¡¯s pause, he said, ¡°I¡¯m her boyfriend!¡±


    Yan Ming nodded, ¡°Oh, how did this happen to her?¡±


    Yang Lin recalled the events: ¡°We were just out shopping, and we started arguing over something trivial. My girlfriend has a bit of a temper, so she got upset, and I also got a little angry, so we had a few words.¡±


    ¡°But then, not long after that, she suddenly couldn¡¯t speak, and her hands turned into this chicken claw shape, and she fell to the ground!¡±


    Toward the end, Yang Lin was full of remorse, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault, I made you angry, I won¡¯t ever make you angry again!¡±


    As Yang Lin spoke, one hand held Li Rongrong¡¯s hands while the other gently wiped away her tears.


    Li Rongrong just lay there, letting the tears flow, unable to utter a word for a long while, just gasping for breath.


    Yan Ming looked at Li Rongrong, ¡°Have you ever had epilepsy before? Or has anyone in your family ever had it?¡±


    Li Rongrong shook her head vigorously.


    ¡°Just wait a moment, I will have neurology come down for a consultation, to see if it¡¯s something in the brain. Young man, don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t be nervous, stay with your partner, and yes, you should contact the family. The patient¡¯s condition is unstable, and we need a signature.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Lin bent down and said to the girl, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take good care of you, wait for me.¡±


    Li Rongrong, seeing Yang Lin¡¯s behavior towards her, seemed to feel that adversity reveals true feelings, that she had encountered true love.


    After Yang Lin finished speaking, he followed Yan Ming out.


    Less than ten minutes after the rapid consultation, the neurologist came down, examined the patient, and then issued medical orders, ¡°Do an EEG and a CT scan to rule out intracranial lesions, still considering epilepsy. If not, we should have surgery consult as well.¡±


    Chen Cang had just come out from the duty room when he suddenly saw a boy making a phone call, ¡°Brother Yong, lend me some money, I really need it, no? Sorry¡­¡±


    After hanging up, Yang Lin started making calls again, back and forth, and finally managed to gather just over two thousand yuan.


    They were all students, not having much in the way of living expenses, borrowing money was not easy. Yang Lin saw Yan Ming and approached him, ¡°Doctor, how is it going?¡±


    Yan Ming brought over the results of the consultation and said, ¡°Neurology is still worried about whether there is a lesion inside the skull, so they want you to get a head CT and EEG, and we will look at the results afterward.¡±


    Yang Lin hesitated slightly, as they were all college students who really didn¡¯t have that much money, situations like this were somewhat unnerving, ¡°Doctor, how much does a CT cost? And the EEG?¡±


    Yan Ming, ¡°All together, it should be around five to six hundred, a CT is about two to three hundred, and so is the EEG, for specifics, you should ask at the billing desk, I don¡¯t know the details.¡±


    ¡°Right, the patient¡¯s condition is unstable, you should contact the patient¡¯s family for them to come and sign.¡±


    Yan Ming placed great importance on getting a signature, emphasizing it repeatedly back and forth.


    As soon as Yang Lin heard this, he went in to communicate with Li Rongrong, but she clung to her phone, refusing to give it to Yang Lin, shaking her head and gesturing not to make the call.


    Yan Ming also saw this situation and thought to himself how troublesome it was, wondering what to do if an incident occurred.


    This situation was the most troublesome; the child was disobedient, refusing to call the parents, and if something happened, the parents would definitely hold them accountable!


    What should be done?


    When Chen Cang arrived, he saw Yan Ming and greeted him, ¡°Hello, Teacher Yan Ming, do you have a patient?¡±


    Yan Ming¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up, ¡°Chen Cang, are you on duty today?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Yan Ming said, ¡°You¡¯re on duty, that¡¯s great. There¡¯s a patient; I have called for a neurology consultation, and they need tests, but I¡¯m worried about the patient¡¯s unstable condition, and need to contact the relatives, but the patient is unwilling. Since you are the same age, would you try persuading them?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, Yan Ming always did this, shirking responsibility when it came to patients, and now he was hoping Chen Cang would take over.


    After all, both were on duty today, it could be said to be Chen Gang¡¯s responsibility or Yan Ming¡¯s, the responsibility fell on both of them.


    Nevertheless, Chen Cang decided to go up and see for himself.


    Upon arriving at the observation room, Chen Cang saw the boy tearfully explaining to the girl, but she just kept shaking her head and wouldn¡¯t listen.


    Wasn¡¯t that the boy who just borrowed money?


    Chen Cang saw a question mark above the boy¡¯s head.


    Ding! Helped to save Yang Lin¡¯s girlfriend, mission complete: Experience +300; Money +300;


    Chen Cang stood up and walked over, looking at Li Rongrong, and began to ponder deeply.


    ¡°How long has this been going on?¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, Yang Lin hurriedly said, ¡°Less than an hour, just now I argued with my girlfriend, and afterward, she just¡­¡±


    Chen Cang made an ¡®oh¡¯ sound, got up, walked over to the girl, and started to examine her. After about a few minutes, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    This is not epilepsy at all!


    It¡¯s clearly a case of poisoning!


    At this moment, the expert guidance system also provided the answer: Overventilation syndrome!


    The poison was one she had inflicted upon herself!


    This was a classic case of ¡°poisoning oneself¡± with anger.


    As Yang Lin stood up to leave, Chen Cang said, ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    Yang Lin was stunned: ¡°The doctor told me to go pay for an electroencephalogram and a cranial CT. He¡¯s worried about an intracranial lesion.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°Don¡¯t rush, just wait a bit before you go!¡±


    Yang Lin hesitated. Whose advice should he take?


    He was a bit dubious, after all, the previous doctor was over fifty and looked like a seasoned expert, whereas Chen Cang was so young¡­ He worried that Chen Gang¡¯s lack of experience might delay his girlfriend¡¯s treatment!


    At that moment, Chen Cang called out, ¡°Little Lin, bring me two masks!¡±


    Little Lin obediently brought over two masks.


    Chen Cang took a mask and bent it in his hands, making it look like a small cap. He covered the girl¡¯s mouth and nose and said, ¡°Relax, don¡¯t be nervous¡­ Don¡¯t take deep breaths, yes¡­ Relax¡­¡±


    The girl nodded and didn¡¯t struggle.


    Less than a few minutes passed.


    For Yang Lin, these minutes were excruciating. Maybe he should go for the check-up after all, having it done would provide peace of mind¡­


    But at that moment, Yang Lin suddenly heard someone shout, ¡°Yang Lin, come here!¡±


    He was momentarily stunned, quickly turned around, and found the girl sitting up in bed.


    ¡°Rongrong¡­are you better?¡±


    At this time, Yan Ming also walked in, and upon seeing this, he too was taken aback. What was going on here?


    The patient was better on her own?


    The boy said to Yan Ming, ¡°Doctor! How come she¡¯s suddenly better? She just lay there for a while¡­¡±


    Yan Ming nodded, ¡°It¡¯s probably epilepsy, she¡¯s gone back to normal after the episode. I suggest you go for an electroencephalogram, just to be safe.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head and smiled, ¡°No need to have it done. This isn¡¯t epilepsy; it¡¯s poisoning caused by anger!¡±


    Seeing this, everyone quickly turned to look at Chen Cang, with even Little Lin coming over out of curiosity.


    Chen Cang continued, ¡°Actually, this is a case of overventilation syndrome!¡±


    ¡°The fundamental cause is that after arguing, you became emotionally agitated, and you breathed too fast, leading to a deficiency of carbon dioxide in the body, causing respiratory alkalosis!¡±


    ¡°Rapid breathing causes excessive ventilation of carbon dioxide, leading to too much CO2 being expelled from the body, resulting in a lack of CO2; this is known in clinical terms as respiratory alkalosis. The patient will exhibit stiff limbs, trembling, and other typical symptoms, but their mental awareness remains clear.¡±


    ¡°The patient¡¯s condition is not serious and doesn¡¯t need too much treatment. Just a moment ago, by reabsorbing some carbon dioxide, her condition has already improved.¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang finished talking, Yan Ming¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but he said cheerfully, ¡°Ah! Right, how did I not think of that? Now that you mention it, it really does seem to be the case. Young man, don¡¯t make your girlfriend angry in the future!¡±


    After speaking, Yan Ming picked up his thermos, took a sip of water, and left, thinking to himself that in a couple of years, he might apply for early retirement!


    Chen Cang shook his head, Yan Ming had been like this for a long time in the emergency department, but considering he was the most senior, no one really pointed it out. After all, Yan Ming wouldn¡¯t cause trouble now. When faced with a situation, his first reaction was to look for a consultation, then to transfer the case, and finally to sign off. He never caused issues for the emergency department, which meant Li Baoshan wasn¡¯t so irritated.


    Upon hearing that it was nothing serious, Yang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief!


    He hurried to the girl¡¯s side, vowing, ¡°I¡¯ll never make you angry again!¡±


    After a touching apology, they started on a deeply sentimental finale, like a scene from a romance.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang suddenly furrowed his brow, feeling inspired, and commented, ¡°Hmm, if you had kissed her sooner, maybe you wouldn¡¯t have had to come to the hospital at all¡­¡±


    The young couple, hearing this, intensified their display.


    Chen Cang watched, feeling a sour note in his heart as if struck by devastating damage.


    Chen Cang was taken aback. No, that¡¯s not right!


    He was wearing a white coat after all, giving him a Defense of +3, but how could he still take damage?


    Could it be¡­ that showing affection inflicts real damage on single people?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang recoiled in alarm and quickly made his exit!


    However, at this moment, there was even more important news.


    Ding! Congratulations, your level has risen to 20!


    Chen Gang¡¯s eyes lit up!


    p.s.: This incident teaches us a lesson, don¡¯t reason with a girl, argue with her, or even get angry. If she gets mad, just hold her, kiss her¡­!


    Of course, that is assuming she is your girlfriend¡­

 Chapter 147 - Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Job Change System Activated! (Please subscribe-!)

    Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Job Change System Activated! (Please subscribe-!)


    Chen Cang discreetly returned to the duty room and locked the door.


    Class change, huh!


    This was too incredible; even in games, one needed to find a professional mentor to change classes. If there were any extraordinary phenomenons, they¡¯d be difficult to explain.


    Chen Cang sat quietly by the bed, his heart filled with anxiety, when suddenly, he heard a system prompt.


    [Congratulations, you¡¯ve reached level 20. Please complete your class change as soon as possible. Before the class change is successful, your clinical level cannot be increased.]


    [Class change methods: First, find a mentor qualified for class change and complete the mentor¡¯s task; second, activate a class change certificate and complete the task on it; third, create a new specialty, which automatically starts the class change.]


    [Reminder: Ways to obtain a class change certificate: 1. From king-level monsters; 2. Gifted by a distinguished teacher; 3. Dropped in PK¡­ and more!]


    [Please complete your class change quickly to become a more competent medical worker!]


    Chen Cang looked at the barrage of messages, truly feeling overwhelmed by the information.


    There were three ways to change classes. The first was to find someone with the qualifications to be a mentor and complete their tasks to change classes, but¡­ there was a problem. With so many qualified people, why would they assign a class change task to him? So, although this option seemed straightforward, it actually had hidden conditions, like the mentor being initially interested in him.


    Perhaps¡­ Qian Liang was a good choice.


    Because Qian Liang had previously given him a three-month mentor-disciple task, and if he completed it, there was a chance to earn Qian Liang¡¯s approval, thus fulfilling the mentor¡¯s task and changing classes.


    Qian Liang was a master in the field of hepatobiliary surgery, so if Chen Cang changed classes like this, he might end up in the hepatobiliary surgery field.


    Mentor-disciple class change probably means what the teacher is, I am too.


    The second method was to activate a class change certificate and complete the task listed to change classes, which meant the certificate definitely had professional limits.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang took out the class change certificate he had obtained from killing the ¡°king-level appendix,¡± and upon pulling it out, found the certificate folded up like an invitation.


    After opening it, Chen Cang saw several gilded characters: ¡°Thoracic Surgery Class Change Certificate!¡±


    This was a thoracic surgery class change certificate!


    Chen Cang hesitated, feeling uneasy.


    If he could only change classes once, he definitely wouldn¡¯t choose thoracic surgery.


    [Ding! There is no limit to the number of class changes.]


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief¡ªafter all, if he could only choose once, he would have to make a careful decision.


    As for the third class change method, Chen Cang was somewhat stunned; create a new profession?


    This option seemed to be for freaks, geniuses, and those who broke the mold, and it seemed to have nothing to do with him.


    Looking at the three class change methods, Chen Cang fell into deep thought.


    According to the plots of novels, TV dramas, and online games, of the three class change options, the third was the most powerful and exclusive to the protagonist! The first varied from high to low, but at least came with mentoring, placing one in an elite tier. And the second, relying on a class change certificate¡­ that was probably the most mediocre and lowest-tier option!


    Realization brought a touch of melancholy to Chen Gang¡¯s heart.


    Sigh¡­


    But having the opportunity to change classes more than once wasn¡¯t without hope!


    With that thought, Chen Cang didn¡¯t hesitate and opened the class change certificate.


    [Would you like to change classes to: Thoracic Surgeon?]


    [Yes!]


    [Ding! Thoracic surgery job change quest triggered, quest requirements: Within one week, slay a high-grade monster to complete and receive a reward. Tip: The higher the quality of the monster, the more generous the rewards after job change!]


    The first thought that crossed Chen Gang¡¯s mind was that he had killed the Appendix King a bit too early¡­


    After all, common monsters are frequent, but rare monsters are scarce! King- level monsters are even rarer¡­ the once-in-a-lifetime kind!


    Missed opportunities are just missed¡­


    The job change seemed simple, but the more substantial rewards after the job change undoubtedly meant increased difficulty.


    Chen Cang suddenly became very curious, wondering if he could pass the job change with a level 8 appendix monster.


    However, since he had already chosen the lowest pathway for the job change, Chen Cang decided to give it his best shot and kill a high-level wild monster to potentially achieve a reversal of fortunes.


    But the most pressing issue was that he had only two days left of mentorship.


    After two days, the only ¡°awesome¡± monsters he could kill would be appendices and gallbladders. The odds of making a comeback seemed almost too great¡­


    Just as he opened the duty room door, he saw Qin Yue standing at the entrance with a face full of gossip, ¡°Chen Cang¡­ what were you doing in there? And with the door locked.¡±


    Chen Cang replied irritably, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I¡¯m afraid some single dogs might covet me¡­ what¡¯s it called¡­ Night Duty Nurse!!¡±


    The moment Qin Yue heard that, she burst out laughing, ¡°Wow, Chen Cang, can¡¯t you watch something wholesome! ¡®Night Duty Nurse¡¯? How do you know so much? It¡¯s actually called ¡®Night Qin Ward¡¯!¡±


    ¡°I finally know where you get your stellar English from. Could it be¡­ ¡®One only learns by watching¡¯? You really are something, given enough time, I bet your Japanese will be good to go too!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and after considering for a moment said, ¡°So it¡¯s ¡®Night Qin Ward¡¯¡­ I always thought it was ¡®Night Duty Nurse¡¯, ah¡­ wait, how do you know?¡±


    Qin Yue was instantly at a loss for words, her eyes wide, frantically flustered, ¡°Pah! Being around you guys all the time, I¡¯ve been corrupted long ago!¡±


    After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Chen Cang with an innocent face. Clearly, you¡¯re the experienced one here, who corrupted whom¡­


    But, in the end, was Qin Yue right, or was I?


    Chen Cang felt that he should go back and do some serious research. As a healthcare worker, it was essential to have a solid and meticulous spirit of seeking truth from facts, the only way to make continuous progress¡­


    Just then, Chang Lina came up from behind without him knowing¡­


    With a sigh, she said, ¡°Little Doctor Chen, Little Doctor Qin is right, it should be ¡®Night Shift & Ward¡¯¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was bewildered: &*¡­£¤£¤#


    As six o¡¯clock approached, Chen Cang stretched, feeling the weight of the workload. Weekends might mean rest for others, but for him, it was overtime.


    Thinking about going to Zhang Zhixin¡¯s place tomorrow made Chen Cang somewhat nervous.


    After all, this was his first hands-on experience. How would it turn out?


    Overall, he was still filled with much anticipation.


    Plastic surgery and operations are different. It¡¯s not like you can brag about how good you are at removing an appendix just because you made a clean incision or gave someone double eyelids with Phoenix eyes. It¡¯s more about monitoring postoperative complications and reducing the risk of sequelae.


    However, the thought of Fu Yufang made Chen Cang feel rather drained.


    After having the facial surgery tomorrow, would it be Long Bear¡¯s turn?


    At the thought, Chen Cang felt a great pressure¡­


    All, why is life so difficult?

    Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Sorry, mistaken identity! (Please subscribe)


    Every time Chen Cang went to Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital, he was impressed!


    Chen Cang greatly admired the design of the receptionist¡¯s uniform.


    Today was Fu Yufang¡¯s day of unveiling her new appearance, and Xiao Tianhua had arrived at the hospital early, even bringing a special gift.


    Zhang Zhixin had also come early to the hospital. More anxious than Chen Cang, after all, he owned the hospital ¨C if there were any issues, Chen Cang could flee, but he couldn¡¯t¡­


    Even though Chen Cang had performed well in the surgery, ultimately, the results could only be judged after recovery.


    This wasn¡¯t like sculpting¡ªit was what it was.


    After all, this was a person!


    Recovery had to take place, and many complications might not emerge nght away.


    That¡¯s why Zhang Zhixin took such extensive facial reconstruction very seriously.


    Fu Yufang sat there a bit nervously, feeling uneasy.


    Xiao Tianhua smiled and reassured her, ¡°Fangtang, don¡¯t worry, in a moment, you¡¯ll definitely be pleasantly surprised!¡±


    ¡°I was even more nervous than you at that time!


    in the midst of their talk, Xiao Tianhua took out a delicate mirror: ¡°I¡¯ve prepared a gift for you. When you open your eyes, you¡¯ll see it right away.¡± Chen Cang personally picked up the scissors and began to cut the bandages, just at this moment, hurried and anxious footsteps climbed the stairs and came to Zhang Zhixin¡¯s side, whispering, ¡°Dr. Zhang, someone is asking for you!¡± Zhang Zhixin paused and turned, saying, ¡°Ask him to wait a moment.¡± Xu Rou said with nervousness, ¡°The person came with Mr. Hu.¡±


    Upon hearing about Mr. Hu, Zhang Zhixin faltered slightly, nodded, and hurriedly went downstairs.


    Though Zhang Zhixin managed Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital, the true backer was Mr. Hu; plainly speaking, his boss.


    Rushing downstairs to the reception room, Zhang Zhixin saw Hu Chuanjin sitting there, smiling and chatting jovially with a man.


    By comparison, the man was visibly shrewder and more formally dressed than Hu Chuanjin¡ªin casual clothes and towering in height, he certainly had a handsome presence.


    Their conversation seemed very relaxed, suggesting that he was someone of significant status¡ªa tycoon of sorts.


    Zhang Zhixin greeted them with a smile, ¡°Mr. Hu, you¡¯re not too busy today?¡± Hu Chuanjin stood up and responded with a smile, ¡°I came to see how the hospital is doing and to look in on you.¡±


    -It¡¯s been a while since my last visit, and I didn¡¯t expect the hospital to be doing so well. Zhixin, all the credit goes to you. You deserve a higher salary for your hard work as the director.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin also started to laugh.


    At that point, Hu Chuanjin introduced, ¡°This is Mr. Guo Yongliang, the owner of Meilin Supermarket in Anyang City. Mr. Guo, this is the Zhang Zhixin I told you about.¡±


    Guo Yongliang stood up and approached, extending his greeting to Zhang Zhixin.


    ¡°Hello, Director Zhang!¡±


    Meilin supermarket was a major chain in Anyang City with four or five stores.


    Even though Zhang Zhixin was curious about the reason for Guo Yongliang¡¯s visit, he still smiled and shook hands.


    It was at this moment that Guo Yongliang said slowly, ¡°I¡¯m here to see my wife today. I was away on a business trip for a week, and when I returned home and couldn¡¯t find her, I learned that she had come here to undergo plastic surgery, which made me very angry.¡±


    ¡°She was fine as she was; why did she need to get plastic surgery? Now she¡¯s just causing trouble for me, isn¡¯t she?¡¯


    Hu Chuanjin chuckled, ¡°All women have a bit of vanity, and nowadays, plastic surgery is so commonplace. Who wouldn¡¯t want to give it a try?¡±


    Guo Yongliang sighed, ¡°It¡¯s not about that¡­ Hu, as you know, my parents are traditional, old revolutionaries. They can¡¯t tolerate such things in their conservative eyes! They¡¯re too traditional to accept this!¡±


    ¡°Besides, I¡¯m not ignorant about cosmetic surgery. And I¡¯m not shy to say that when I¡¯m idle, I like to watch live streams online. You see those girls looking so fresh and lively, but up close, what have they actually done? Just a fusion of silicone and hyaluronic acid! Especially once they take off their makeup, it¡¯s unbearable to look at!¡±


    ¡°And plus, I¡¯m a businessman. Fangfang often accompanies me to various events. If her surgery makes her look unrecognizable, where would I put my face?¡±


    Hu Chuanjin nodded and said, ¡°Yeah, the older generation can¡¯t accept this, but you should also try to understand Fangfang.¡±


    ¡°All women have a desire for beauty. You¡¯re so successful, and often out on trips, watching those young girls on live streams at home. What do you think Fangfang feels? She¡¯s worried you¡¯ll neglect her as she gets older, isn¡¯t she.


    Guo Yongliang shook his head, ¡°Old Hu, the plastic surgery hospital is yours, and I won¡¯t say much, just talking about the issue at hand. The purpose of my visit today is clear, I want to consult about the possibility of getting the surgery reversed. I know I¡¯m late and that Fangfang has probably already finished the procedure, but I mean, even if she can¡¯t get back to exactly how she was before, at least make it similar enough so that my parents would think she¡¯s just wearing makeup. Don¡¯t go shaving bones and adding nose implants, creating a whole bunch of changes! We don¡¯t want her ending up neither human nor ghost, and having my mom not even recognize her when she gets home.¡± Zhang Zhixin was startled. How could you reverse that? Did you think it was like editing a picture? Just click ¡®undo¡¯, and it¡¯s done?


    ¡°This isn¡¯t an easy fix. Miss Fu Yufang underwent a minor procedure, a lot of excess skin has been cut, and after all, a knife was used. Reversing the changes would be a bit difficult!¡±


    At these words, Guo Yongliang¡¯s face immediately darkened.


    Hu Chuanjin also fell silent. Performing plastic surgery for these people was troublesome and brought a lot of issues.


    The room fell quiet for a moment.


    Zhang Zhixin hadn¡¯t expected that this plastic surgery would bring about such a predicament. It wasn¡¯t easy earning rich people¡¯s money.


    Last time I did surgery on Xiao Tianhua, someone threw manure over it, and now with Fu Yufang¡¯s surgery, here comes Mr. Guo.


    These people really are hard to serve!


    This is the reality of private hospitals.


    If you were in the provincial second hospital, no matter what happened, someone would have your back. You wouldn¡¯t be troubled over such incidents; the hospital would certainly stand up for you.


    After a while, Zhang Zhixin said, ¡°How about this, Mr. Guo. The surgery is already done. Why don¡¯t you go up and take a look at Miss Fu¡¯s current results If you¡¯re not satisfied, then we can discuss ways to fix or adjust whatever needs to be changed. What do you think¡­?


    Hu Chuanjin nodded and added, ¡°Director Zhang makes a good point. Mr. Guo, let¡¯s go have a look anyway. We opened our doors to do honest business, not to swindle people. If you truly aren¡¯t satisfied, I, Hu Chuanjin, assure you, I will take full responsibility for this matter!¡±


    Hu Chuanjin couldn¡¯t possibly push the responsibility onto Zhang Zhixin at this point; doing so would mean the end of their operation.


    At this, Hu Chuanjin stood up: ¡°Let¡¯s go, Mt. Guo, since you¡¯re already here, let¡¯s go up and have a look.¡±


    After some thought, Guo Yongliang nodded and followed them.


    Zhang Zhixin led the group to the fifth floor where the high-end VIP wards were located. Pointing to a room ahead, he said to Guo Yongliang, ¡°It¡¯s this room here!¡±


    Guo Yongliang nodded, pushed the door, and entered. But after a brief moment, he was taken aback, turned around, and came out, ¡°She¡¯s not in this room?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin immediately froze. I just left, how could I have remembered wrong? He checked the room number, and it was definitely this one!


    Just then, a sharp voice rang out, ¡°Guo Yongliang, get back here!¡±


    Guo Yongliang was stunned!


    That voice was all too familiar. Who else could it be but his wife?


    But clearly, his wife wasn¡¯t inside, was she?


    Fu Yufang was furious. Seeing Guo Yongliang enter, she had a moment of joy, thinking he came to check on her out of concern. But to her surprise, he quickly glanced at her, then hurriedly closed the door and walked away, as if he was calculating something!


    This infuriated Fu Yufang. Good for you, Guo Yongliang! Saying you¡¯re out at a meeting for a week when in reality you¡¯re escorting some floozy to get plastic surgery!


    Seeing me and then running away!


    Thinking I didn¡¯t see, right?


    With these thoughts, Fu Yufang yelled out, ¡°Guo Yongliang, get in here!¡±


    Guo Yongliang hurriedly pushed the door and entered again, gazing at the elegant woman in front of him, he was dumbfounded.


    ¡°You¡­ you are? Are you Fangfang?¡±


    Fu Yufang snorted coldly, ¡°Me, Fangfang?! Pretending not to know me, aren¡¯t you? Having such a grand old time that you forgot about home, huh? Fine! Guo Yongliang, you¡¯ve got some nerve, acting all guilty, huh? Coming to the plastic surgery hospital to meet someone, and you didn¡¯t expect me to be here! Now I really want to see who you, Guo Yongliang, have been seeking behind my back!¡±


    After finishing her words, Fu Yufang got up, slipped on her sandals, and stormed out, carrying the unmistakable aura of a legitimate wife confronting a mistress, with that kind of background music.


    Upon hearing this, Guo Yongliang was completely dumbfounded and quickly pulled Fu Yufang back in with a hug.


    He hurriedly explained, ¡°Oh, Fangfang, you¡¯ve got it all wrong, I just came to see you. I heard you were getting plastic surgery and was worried something might go wrong, so I rushed back from out of town to check on you!¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t believe me, ask Director Zhang!¡±


    Fu Yufang glared, ¡°You¡¯re still trying to justify yourself! I really misjudged you, Guo Yongliang. Who am I getting plastic surgery for? You heartless creature!¡±

 Chapter 149 - Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The Millionaires Opportunity!

    Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The Millionaire¡¯s Opportunity!


    After a round of explanations, the farce finally came to an end!


    Guo Yongliang looked at the exquisite and beautiful woman in front of him. Was this really his wife? She certainly bore some resemblance, every part seemed similar, yet when put together, something seemed off. What on earth had happened? Guo Yongliang could hardly believe it!


    Fu Yufang sat on the bed, her face flushing red from Guo Yongliang¡¯s intent gaze.


    ¡°Have you had enough of looking?¡± she snapped.


    Guo Yongliang shook his head, ¡°No¡­ Fangfang, you¡¯re too beautiful, you know?¡±


    ¡°I was also worried that the surgery would be a mess. You know my mom, if she saw you looking like an internet celebrity, she would definitely lose her temper!¡±


    ¡°But now it¡¯s great, really beautiful!¡±


    Guo Yongliang had been giving compliments for over ten minutes, carefully examining her face inside and out, ¡°This is all real, right?¡±


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°It¡¯s all real. Miss Fu just made minor adjustments to some facial details. In fact, Miss Fu already had a good foundation, so after a bit of embellishment, this is the result. Moreover, this kind of minor surgery is just like getting a small cut on the face, once healed, it really doesn¡¯t affect anything.¡±


    Guo Yongliang marveled again and again, ¡°Brilliant! Amazing! Now this is what I call plastic surgery.¡±


    Fu Yufang huffed at Guo Yongliang, ¡°Did you think it was going to be like those internet celebrities you see every day? Looking inhuman through the screen, can you even tell what they actually look like!¡±


    ¡°Doctor Chen here is a master, the one who designs for celebrities. If it weren¡¯t for Sister Xiao¡¯s referral, I wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to meet Doctor Chen!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Guo Yongliang nodded repeatedly, realizing that there was indeed a huge difference. Even though both were plastic surgeries, the disparity was enormous.


    Guo Yongliang, after all, was experienced and had seen it all, but this was his first encounter with such surgery, and he was deeply moved.


    However, when he turned to look at Xiao Tianhua, he was stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, ¡°You¡­ You¡¯re Sister Xiao?¡±


    Xiao Tianhua nodded, ¡°Oh, what, after going out for a few days you¡¯ve become so discerning that you no longer recognize your Sister Xiao?¡±


    Guo Yongliang quickly cracked a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just that Sister Xiao has become even more beautiful and dignified!¡±


    At that moment, Xiao Tianhua pulled a woman who was standing behind her forward, and Guo Yongliang was dumbfounded, ¡°This couldn¡¯t be Big Sister Mei Zi, could it? My God, she looks too beautiful after the surgery!¡±


    At that instant, Guo Yongliang realized he was dealing with a true expert.


    Plastic surgery was not as simple as he thought. To be designed into looking like this, Guo Yongliang¡¯s eyes were truly opened.


    Turning to look at Chen Cang, his gratitude was indescribable!


    Hu Chuanjin chuckled and looked at Guo Yongliang, ¡°President Guo, do you want her to get changed back?¡±


    Guo Yongliang hurriedly waved his hand, ¡°No need! This is incredible. President Hu, your plastic surgery hospital is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, impressive!¡±


    After all, when his wife looked beautiful, who would it benefit?


    Could Guo Yongliang not know deep down?


    She looked so beautiful after the surgery¡­ as if he had a new wife. He was already overjoyed in his heart.


    As for explaining to the parents?


    If the plastic surgery made her look more beautiful¡ªgenuinely beautiful¡ªand she also appeared dignified and classy, then there¡¯s no issue with explaining. It doesn¡¯t matter!


    That¡¯s how private hospitals are. The customer is king, with top-notch service!


    When you¡¯ve satisfied a wealthy customer, they¡¯re not stingy when it comes time to pay.


    When Fu Yufang handed her card to Chen Cang, she grabbed his hand, ¡°Xiao Chen, design a bear shape for me next time!¡±


    Chen Cang shuddered and quickly pulled away, ¡°Of course, Sister Fu, no problem!¡±


    The surgery fee was three hundred thousand, according to the price originally quoted to Xiao Tianhua.


    Only Hu Chuanjin, Zhang Zhixin, and Chen Cang were left in the office.


    Hu Chuanjin suddenly said, ¡°Chen, Zhixin has spoken to me about you, saying you¡¯re very capable. After seeing your work today, I must say you¡¯re really impressive.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been here for a while now, and Zhixin has always been saying that we should draw up a contract for you. I wasn¡¯t sure what would be appropriate, so how about this? Since you and Zhixin are good friends, how about I give you a ten percent profit share? Come work with Zhixin to build up the hospital. As for this ten percent profit share¡­ I don¡¯t need you to buy shares, just help us operate, and you¡¯ll have a share of the profits every month. What do you think?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin¡¯s eyes widened instantly when he heard this. The investment in the plastic surgery hospital was hefty, and a ten percent share of the profits, based on last year¡¯s figures, meant at least several million a year!


    Getting a share of the profits without having to invest¡ªsince when had Hu Chuanjin been so generous?


    Chen Cang also was taken aback. Zhang Zhixin had told him that the plastic surgery hospital made tens of millions in profit annually, and a ten percent share would amount to millions.


    But there was no such thing as a free lunch, and Chen Cang understood that.


    He grinned and said, ¡°General Hu, you¡¯re putting too much faith in me. I have to work at the hospital every day, and I won¡¯t be able to show up here on time. I¡¯d feel ashamed to accept such a dividend.¡±


    Hu Chuanjin shook his head with a smile, ¡°No, no, no, if you join us, Chen, our business model will naturally undergo some changes. We could target the elite class specifically, be responsible for designing plastic surgery, and develop a high-level team, while you, Chen, would just need to handle the design work¡ª and¡­ we wouldn¡¯t take a penny from the design fees, and moreover, we¡¯d help you set the prices.¡±


    Chen Cang was somewhat tempted!


    It was a guaranteed income, technical investment, with no risk at all.


    Seeing that Chen Cang hesitated, Hu Chuanjin went straight to the point, ¡°We won¡¯t restrict you too much. You can leave whenever you want. But you must ensure that you spend at least 6 days a month in the hospital. You don¡¯t need to find customers; we¡¯ll take care of that.¡±


    ¡°Of course, we won¡¯t impose too many restrictions on you. I know you have a good relationship with Qin Xiang and Yang Tao, and you¡¯re welcome to collaborate with them as long as it doesn¡¯t affect your daily work. I¡¯ll have Zhixin send you the specific contract. What do you think?¡±


    Hu Chuanjin hadn¡¯t necessarily been aiming to get Chen Cang on board; he¡¯d hoped to leverage Chen Gang¡¯s name and improve service quality.


    It wasn¡¯t easy to run a plastic surgery establishment these days. There were too many of them, and in recent years, they had sprung up like mushrooms after rain, necessitating the creation of unique features.


    Chen Cang was their opportunity!


    In fact, Chen Cang didn¡¯t need to come to the hospital every day since there weren¡¯t that many high-end customers.


    Though the tech share dividends sounded impressive, the value that Chen Cang could produce was much greater than this, and Hu Chuanjin had carefully considered it. Today¡¯s incident with Guo Yongliang only solidified his conviction.


    Hu Chuanjin nodded, ¡°You don¡¯t have to rush into a decision, Chen. Think about it¡ªafter all, I¡¯m a businessman too. We are both looking for mutually beneficial opportunities.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, ¡°I appreciate your high regard, General Hu, but that¡¯s a lot of money. Happiness has come so suddenly that I¡¯m not quite prepared for it.¡±


    Hu Chuanjin chuckled, ¡°Take your time to calculate, take your time! If you have any other ideas for collaboration, just let me know. We can talk about it. After all, cooperation leads to win-win situations!¡±


    After saying this, Hu Chuanjin stood up, patted Chen Cang on the arm, and left. Zhang Zhixin and Chen Cang were left staring at each other in bewilderment! Zhang Zhixin also had technical shares plus capital, totaling fifteen percent of the shares, while Hu Chuanjin himself had invested more than half, owning sixty percent. The other few minor partners were hands-off managers who didn¡¯t participate in management; they just shared the profits at the end of the year.


    Chen Cang looked at Zhang Zhixin, ¡°Teacher Zhang, do you think I should sign this?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin pondered for a long time before saying, ¡°It¡¯s hard to say, there¡¯s good in it. But it¡¯s difficult to predict what will happen after you sign it. Profit sharing has its pros and cons, but I think, Chen, if I were you, I would choose a different kind of partnership!¡±


    Chen Cang was curious, ¡°What kind?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin sat up straight, looking at Chen Cang and said, ¡°Haven¡¯t you been doing freelancing? You do a surgery, you get paid a certain amount. That way, you can work at random times based on your own schedule without worrying about management issues. If problems arise, you¡¯re not responsible. Once you get involved in sharing profits, even if someone else causes an issue, you still have to bear some responsibility.¡±


    ¡°After all, you¡¯re primarily focusing on design right now and surgery as a secondary. For example, you could set a design fee of 100,000 yuan, and just clearly price your surgeries. Wherever you do them, does it matter?¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, this ten percent share of the profits is not so easy to get. There will be all kinds of messy stuff you¡¯ll have to deal with whether you like it or not.¡± Upon hearing Zhang Zhixin¡¯s advice, Chen Cang had a flash of insight¡ªright! He could definitely opt for a freelance, flying-doctor approach without any restrictions. Although the share of the profits might seem attractive now, with an entire plastic surgery hospital as a platform, he didn¡¯t have to join to collaborate, and it would also be more flexible¡ªlike his current arrangement with Fu Yufang where he received design fees and a share of the surgery fees.


    In the end, he had the skills and could take orders whenever he had time or focus on his own matters when he didn¡¯t.


    It was the best of both worlds!


    Zhang Zhixin took a deep breath, thought seriously for a moment, and said slowly, ¡°Besides, I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll be in Anyang City forever. Anyang is only so big; so many people, you¡¯re only 27 years old¡ªwho knows where the future might take you? What¡¯ll you do then?¡±


    ¡°You need to build a foundation for your future. When it comes to making money, you might earn more in the short term by sharing profits, as the hospital provides you with a platform and has staff for market research and client selection. Choosing this method might make you richer for the next two years.¡±


    ¡°But you must understand one thing¡ªthe fame belongs to Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital, and your personal renown can¡¯t spread beyond it, or if it does, it is tied to the hospital. But freelancing is different; the reputation would be all yours. Wherever you go in the future, you¡¯d always have a livelihood!¡± Continuing, Zhang Zhixin looked at Chen Cang, ¡°That¡¯s why, in the end, it¡¯s still up to you to decide. Personally, I lean towards the second option¡ªit¡¯s carefree, comfortable, and the money is good!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯d be like Wang Chen. Now people call him ¡®Dotting Wang,¡¯ always getting invited everywhere! He doesn¡¯t worry about not having food to eat!¡±

 Chapter 150 - Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Lucky Bag Task! (Please Subscribe)

    Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Lucky Bag Task! (Please Subscribe)


    Zhang Zhixin¡¯s words caused Chen Cang to reflect for a long time, indeed, if he signed a profit-sharing agreement, there would be too many limitations.


    If he simply cooperated in designing and performing surgeries, the nature of the job would be completely different¡ªthese were two entirely separate matters.


    Besides, Hu Chuanjin had said that he wouldn¡¯t restrict Chen Gang¡¯s actions, but¡­ people are inherently selfish.


    Once Chen Cang started taking a cut of Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital¡¯s profits, he would subconsciously think about where to send patients. Over time, this would only create a vicious cycle, and in terms of favors and accidents, there would be many inconveniences!


    After some thought, Chen Cang decided to go back and consider Zhang Zhixin¡¯s suggestion.


    Zhang Zhixin suddenly smiled, clapped Chen Cang on the shoulder, ¡°Alright, go back and think it over. Now it¡¯s time to split the money! Chen, you really are skilled. Following you, even my own value has skyrocketed!¡±


    ¡°Three hundred thousand for a surgery¡ªthat used to be unthinkable. Even ¡®Master Ender¡¯ Wang Chen gets 300,000 for a surgery, and we¡¯ve made 300,000 from just one. It really is easy to make money from the rich!¡±


    ¡°By the way, two surgeries today, that¡¯s 600,000, you take 200,000. How about this, give me a card number, and I¡¯ll have finance settle it directly with you.¡±


    During the remaining time, Chen Cang performed several surgeries with Zhang Zhixin at the plastic surgery hospital, all double eyelid surgeries, as not many wanted more invasive cosmetic procedures¡ªmost were there to get double eyelids or eyebrow tattoos.


    While Zhang Zhixin wasn¡¯t as skilled as Qin Xiang and the others, he had a distinct advantage¡ªhe was versatile, capable of operating on eyes, lips, noses, and eyebrows, and could even treat bromhidrosis.


    The surgeries the next day were varied; Chen Cang also personally witnessed what breast augmentation surgery was all about!


    Honestly, as a man, Chen Cang instinctively thought he would have some inappropriate thoughts at the beginning.


    Yet, when the surgery began, Chen Cang suddenly realized¡­ it seemed no different from any other surgery. He didn¡¯t have any special thoughts at all, not even seeing any difference between breast tissue and other parts of the body. It might sound crude to compare it to butchering a pig, but¡­ that was indeed the reality!


    There was no difference at all!


    He had been overthinking it.


    At the shift exchange on Monday, Chen Cang suddenly realized that the number of patients in the department had surged!


    There were at least twenty to thirty patients waiting for gallbladder and appendix removal surgeries!


    Why so many all of a sudden?


    Li Baoshan explained, ¡°On Friday night, the head of surgery, Zhang Youfu, made a special mention on TV of the minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery that our department recently started offering. Many patients have come here because of its reputation. In the next few days, we all have a hefty workload, especially you, Chen!¡±


    Only then did Chen Cang understand!


    So that was it!


    Looking at Chen Cang, Li Baoshan¡¯s appreciation grew, ¡°Chen, work hard these next few days. Help out and train everyone so that they can learn this laparoscopic technique quickly. We hope to popularize it throughout the hospital soon.¡±


    As soon as these words were uttered, Chen Cang saw a question mark appear above Li Baoshan¡¯s head.


    [Ding! High-level NPC Li Baoshan issues a task. Task tip: Train hospital staff to use the new laparoscopic minimally invasive technique within the next two days. Reward: Randomly receive a small lucky bag, which upon opening, randomly awards an item. (For each person taught, receive a small lucky bag.)] Upon receiving the task, Chen Gang¡¯s eyes lit up.


    The truth was, the minimally invasive technique wasn¡¯t some highly difficult skill to master; it was simply an innovative skill. Wang Yong hadn¡¯t spent long learning it before mastering it, let alone the other surgeons.


    With this in mind, Chen Cang promptly nodded, ¡°Yes, Chief.¡±


    Li Baoshan smiled, ¡°Wang Yong, you¡¯ll assist Chen Cang with the surgery. After all, you¡¯ve also learned this technique. We¡¯ll start the first surgery today at nine in the morning. Both of you get ready as soon as possible.¡±


    There were four surgeries scheduled for the morning. After understanding the patients¡¯ conditions, Chen Cang and Wang Yong entered the operating room- all were simple routine surgeries, with the imaging results also indicating no major issues.


    Three doctors came into the surgery room, and upon seeing Chen Cang, they all greeted him with a smile.


    ¡°Dr. Chen, impressive, possessing such a fine skill at such a young age!¡±


    ¡°Yes, today we all came after hearing great things about this place.¡±


    ¡°Right!¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, not taking it to heart, since all of them were core members of various surgical systems, each one¡¯s qualifications and skills far surpassed Chen Gang¡¯s own.


    The surgery started quickly, with Chen Cang demonstrating the first procedure. As he operated, he explained, and the audience nodded in agreement. However, what Wang Yong observed most closely was Chen Gang¡¯s surgical method, that is, the improved and newly developed technique.


    Everyone watched their own, without interfering with each other.


    For the second operation, Chen Cang simply suggested Wang Yong take over.


    This way, everyone could identify some deficiencies by comparing, while Chen Cang could point out minor issues more accurately.


    The surgery proceeded methodically, with Wang Yong becoming more proficient in the new technique as it went on.


    After a day of over a dozen surgeries, although both were tired, they felt they had both learned a great deal.


    After a day of continuous operations, Wang Yong¡¯s grasp of the new technique wasn¡¯t completely comprehensive but was quite impressive.


    Meanwhile, the spectators of the surgery kept changing, one group after another.


    In the end, there were four or five groups of visitors.


    But-


    Chen Cang wondered why nobody had offered him any reward.


    This sparked his curiosity!


    Could it be that none of them had the aptitude that Wang Yong possessed?


    At this thought, Chen Cang sighed, feeling helpless.


    The next day continued just the same, Chen Cang and Wang Yong had grown accustomed to this pattern, and Wang Yong could handle it on his own now.


    After finishing the first surgery, Chen Cang received a call from Li Baoshan, asking him to come back to the patient¡¯s room, so he got up and left.


    Shortly after his departure, several people entered the operating room, and Wang Yong began the surgery as usual.


    As Wang Yong operated, he explained, ¡°For this minimally invasive small incision, there are several key points. First, attention must be paid to the incision from the start¡­¡±


    Wang Yong was now highly skilled in gallbladder surgery, and his use of the laparoscope was very smooth.


    After Chen Cang left, he returned to his department and saw Li Baoshan there and was momentarily surprised: ¡°Director Li, did you want to see me?¡±


    Li Baoshan shook his head with a smile, ¡°The next surgeon entering is an examiner to assess Wang Yong.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned.


    ¡°They¡¯re here already? I should give him a heads up¡­¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°No need to warn him, just let him perform normally. Otherwise, if he gets nervous, it might not be good. Ah, by the way, you have spent a lot of time with Wang Yong lately, what do you think, can he make it?¡±


    Chen Cang pondered, ¡°He should make it.¡±


    Whether Wang Yong passed or not was not only a matter of kicking off the mentorship system, but also¡­


    Wang Yong had made a good impression on Chen Cang in recent days, not only for his talent but more importantly for his diligent and earnest nature.


    To be honest, how many people could endure, like Wang Yong and Chen Cang, sticking with temporary work in the emergency department for two years?


    Chen Cang hoped Wang Yong wouldn¡¯t have any problems!

 Chapter 152 - Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Starting Gift Pack (Requesting Monthly Votes!)

    Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Starting Gift Pack (Requesting Monthly Votes!)


    Upon hearing the voice prompt,


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of happiness!


    It was truly a double celebration.


    It seemed that Wang Yong had passed the assessment.


    After spending time together recently, Chen Cang and Wang Yong had grown increasingly harmonious, and Chen Cang was pleased for him for passing the assessment.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say to Li Baoshan, ¡°Wang Yong passed!¡±


    Li Baoshan was taken aback, ¡°How did you know?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°I guessed¡­¡±


    Li Baoshan rolled his eyes, ¡°Right, how¡¯s the teaching of that minimally invasive small incision technique going? Have they learned it?¡±


    At the mention of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but get annoyed-the group was too incompetent, weren¡¯t they?


    Not a single one had learned it!


    Chen Cang shook his head in disappointment, ¡°I don¡¯t know, perhaps everyone hasn¡¯t tried it yet, it¡¯ll be fine once they have the opportunity to try!¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded and left.


    Finally, Chen Cang had the time to explore what the mentor-disciple system was all about!


    [Ding! Mentor-Disciple System activated!]


    [Current disciple: Wang Yong, level: lvi5; details¡­]


    [Mentor-Disciple Bond: Battle experience bonus, when both mentor and disciple participate in surgery together, a 20% clinical experience bonus is obtained.]


    [Graduation Gift Pack: Every time Wang Yong increases by 5 levels, you will receive a Graduation Gift Pack.]


    After seeing this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel joyful.


    The Mentor-Disciple Bond is a good thing, speeding up leveling.


    As for the Graduation Gift Pack, Chen Cang still felt he should look forward to it -who knows, what if there¡¯s something good inside, like¡­ a divine artifact?


    Upon opening Wang Yong¡¯s details, Chen Cang looked through them for a while, finding them fairly standard. After all, he was just a level 15 resident doctor, with mostly intermediate skills and one advanced skill: skin suturing. This must be due to spending a lot of time with Li Baoshan, responsible for closing the abdomen after surgery, thus developing good suturing skills.


    There were also two rewards, one was level +1, and the other was skill special training.


    This time, Chen Cang played it safe; special training couldn¡¯t be used carelessly, considering it could possibly reach a perfect level of operation. If wasted, who knows how much he might regret it.


    The other reward, level +1, was currently unattainable; he must wait until reaching level 20 and completing the class change task to claim it.


    To be honest, Xu Wenbin felt some regret when leaving the emergency department!


    Chen Cang differed greatly from the image he had in mind.


    How could such a young emergency doctor support the improvement of a new surgical technique? Perhaps he learned it somewhere?


    At this thought, Xu Wenbin sighed. How many geniuses could there be? To improve a new surgical technique was not just hard for Xu Wenbin himself, but even for their Provincial People¡¯s Surgery Director and Vice President Liu Siqi, it would be difficult.


    And this was for one of the most common surgeries.


    In fact, the more common a surgery is, the harder it is to improve the technique, because its development has already reached a mature stage, making progress increasingly difficult!


    But that young man Wang Yong had great potential, whether in learning ability or surgical skills, he should experience a strong enhancement.


    Hopefully, when he sees him next time, he will have reached a new level!


    With this in mind, Xu Wenbin couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, feeling he was too greedy. In the ER of the Provincial Second Hospital, only Director Li Baoshan was a figure of note; he hadn¡¯t heard much about the others.


    At noon, the hospital¡¯s official website announced the list of names for this assessment.


    All internal medicine staff in the emergency department passed the assessment, and Wang Yong from emergency surgery also passed smoothly; for the emergency department, this was certainly a joyous occasion.


    Since everyone lived and worked closely day in and day out, forming a bond, the unanimous passing of their assessments led Baoshan to strike his wallet decisively, deciding to treat everyone to a meal!


    This was quite rare in normal circumstances as Director Li was not the type who enjoyed bustling events, but he must have been happy!


    With a smile, Li Baoshan said, ¡°After work tonight, those from internal and surgical who aren¡¯t on duty, let¡¯s all go together. This is a happy event for our emergency department and it¡¯s worth celebrating!


    Upon hearing this, the crowd began to cheer.


    A good mood accompanies good news, and Li Baoshan, also smiling, said, ¡°These young comrades have successfully become contracted staff, thanks to everyone¡¯s hard work and help. Today, in fact, I am holding an appreciation banquet for you all, and today you should really thank your teaching doctors.¡± Wang Yong managed a forced smile, ¡°Director, my teacher won¡¯t be able to make it!¡±


    Everyone was momentarily stunned, ¡°Isn¡¯t Li Director your teacher, Xiao Wang?¡±


    Wang Yong grinned sheepishly, ¡°My current teacher is Chen Cang! Teacher Chen.¡±


    As soon as Wang Yong finished speaking, the room erupted into a roar of laughter.


    ¡°Wow! Little Chen has become a teacher now. Judging by Xiao Wang¡¯s attitude, it seems he¡¯s been taught well!¡± Shi Na teased.


    Qin Yue also joked, ¡°Wang Yong, you need to be selective in what you learn, ? don¡¯t pick up any bad habits, following the bad won¡¯t lead to anything good!¡± Old Chen simply assumed an air of unaffected wisdom, ¡°This is all thanks to my good teaching!¡±


    Chen Cang was quite popular in surgery; after all, except for Yuan Fan, Chen Cang had almost made a complete round of gaining everyone¡¯s favor. Laughing, Wang Yong said, ¡°So Director, how about rescheduling for another day, maybe on a weekend or something, when we won¡¯t need to rearrange a lot of shifts.¡±


    The others nodded in agreement, as weekdays were, after all, busier.


    Li Baoshan immediately agreed, ¡°That can be arranged. Xiao Wang, why don¡¯t you take responsibility for this? You¡¯re often involved in and hosting various events.¡±


    Wang Yong nodded; he frequently played host to the department¡¯s recreational activities, which he was quite adept at.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do it on Saturday then. There are more people off on Saturday. We¡¯ll release the exact location and time in the group, and everyone can arrange their shifts themselves,¡± Wang Yong added.


    Yuan Fan was suddenly taken aback; he was on duty Saturday night!


    With that thought, Yuan Fan awkwardly smiled, ¡°Wang Yong, I¡¯ve got the night shift on Saturday! You see¡­¡±


    Wang Yong, thinking Yuan Fan was reluctant to go, gave a smile, ¡°Alright, no worries, Yuan Fan. You stay on your shift; work is important after all!¡±


    Yuan Fan was taken aback!


    Is that what I meant?


    I was trying to say I¡¯m on duty, could you swap it?


    What do you mean ¡®no worries¡¯?


    Chen Cang can change his shift, but it¡¯s ¡®no worries¡¯ about me?


    Fuming, Yuan Fan glared venomously at Chen Cang.


    [Ding! Yuan Fan¡¯s favorability -10!]


    Unperturbed, Chen Cang was accustomed to this¡­


    But would this guy really kill me?


    With that thought, Chen Cang figured that whenever he saw Yuan Fan in the future, he¡¯d better be wearing his white coat; just in case something happened, an additional +3 defense might come in handy¡­


    That night, as Chen Gang¡¯s shift progressed past six, the people thinned out. Yuan Fan and Chen Cang were alone in the room, and Chen Cang felt a slight chill.


    He wasn¡¯t sure if it was the weather cooling down or if he was underdressed. Around seven, a steady trickle of patients began arriving at the emergency room, and Chen Cang suddenly became busy.


    It seemed that nighttime was when the emergency department truly came to life!

 Chapter 153 - Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Special Circumstances (Request for Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Special Circumstances (Request for Monthly Votes)


    By a little after eight o¡¯clock, Chen Cang had already piled up seven or eight patients, most of whom had injuries needing to be bandaged.


    The emergency internal medicine department mostly saw patients with headaches and fevers looking to buy medicine, while the emergency surgery department mostly dealt with bandaging wounds.


    Because they were all injuries, everyone was quite anxious and flustered, which often led to disputes over queueing on regular days, after all, everyone felt their injuries were more serious.


    Today, however, things were better, and it seemed that those who came were not in a rush, patiently waiting their turn in the waiting area.


    Around eight-thirty, two men with gray and dusty hair full of sand and dirt hurried in.


    Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng were construction workers building the metro in Anyang City, not locals either. Today, due to a crane malfunction, the train tracks on the vehicle slid off. Yang Zhifu, seeing that the situation was bad, fiercely pulled Zhou Kuangsheng out of the way, and fortunately, neither suffered serious injury.


    But still, their hands were cut by the metal sheets!


    Luckily, the metro line wasn¡¯t far from the Provincial Second Hospital, and seven or eight of their coworkers brought them over with goodwill.


    So many people rushing into the emergency room at once aroused some curiosity.


    These construction worker brothers were all unkempt, their camouflaged uniforms covered in dust, and their boots, caked with thick mud from the mucky construction sites.


    When the group reached the door of the emergency room and saw how clean everything was inside, they hesitated for a moment!


    After conferring with each other, Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng decided to take off their shoes and ran in barefoot!


    Seeing this, the surrounding coworkers followed suit, removing their shoes and rushing in.


    ¡°Doctor¡­¡±


    Xiao Lin, who was on night duty, saw two arms each wrapped in a layer of clothing but with blood still seeping out, one hand on the left, the other on the right!


    Xiao Lin¡¯s face changed color as he hurriedly maintained order.


    He had his colleague receive the accompanying people and get them to process their paperwork while he guided the two men inside.


    Chen Cang had just finished suturing a middle-aged woman who cut her finger while cooking, and behind her was a gaunt man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking very scholarly with eyebrows reminiscent of Lu Xun.


    He looked at Chen Cang and said with a smile, ¡°I accidentally stabbed my foot with a pen, and it¡¯s inconvenient to walk.¡±


    Chen Cang was about to speak when suddenly Xiao Lin rushed in, ¡°Doctor Chen, two patients have arrived, bleeding quite a lot, seems like they re severely injured!¡±


    After saying this, Xiao Lin glanced at the man ready to be seen and added, ¡°It seems pretty serious!¡±


    At that moment, the two were brought in.


    Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng were holding their arms, their faces showing an awkward smile; both seemed out of place in the clean treatment room, apparently feeling a mix of shame and discomfort.


    At this time, the man offered them his seat, ¡°You guys sit down, let the doctor check on you. Don¡¯t be nervous, it¡¯s nothing serious.¡±


    Before Chen Cang could respond, the man had already patted Yang Zhifu on the shoulder, seemingly unconcerned about the dirt on him.


    Yang Zhifu gave an awkward smile, speaking in a thick northern dialect, he chuckled and said, ¡°Thankyou, thankyou, big brother.¡±


    Chen Cang pulled back the clothing covering Yang Zhifu¡¯s wound, and it accidentally tugged on the injury, causing Yang Zhifu to wince with pain.


    At that moment, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but inhale sharply.


    The bones on the back of the hand were clearly visible, with two severely fractured tendons and obvious vascular damage.


    Tendon suture surgery was needed immediately!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang said to the slim man, ¡°Uncle, the condition of these two patients is quite critical. Their wrists need immediate attention. Would you mind waiting a little?¡±


    The man had seen the injuries of the two, nodded quickly and said, ¡°No problem, you stitch them up first. Compared to them, I¡¯ve just got a scrape.¡± Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng had already felt a bit embarrassed about jumping the queue, and hearing the man say this, they repeatedly expressed their gratitude, ¡°Thankyou! Thankyou, big brother.¡±


    The accompanying workers seemed to feel that their arrival had inconvenienced others. They bowed to the patients waiting outside and apologized, ¡°Sorry, our friend is badly injured. Thankyou all! We are causing you trouble¡­¡±


    Seven or eight people bowed in turn, and the crowd also felt a bit embarrassed. Moreover, seeing the patients¡¯ clothes wrapped around their wrists, soaked with fresh blood, was a chilling sight.


    At such a time, no one wanted to make things difficult for the others.


    Plus, seeing these people covered in dirt and grime, with disheveled appearances, everyone felt a surge of compassion; it¡¯s not easy to come out and work, and to extend a helping hand was to do a good deed!


    When Xiao Lin saw these seven or eight migrant workers bowing in turn, he felt a lump in his throat.


    At that moment, a short, chubby man rushed in through the emergency west gate, ¡°I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here! How are Yang and Old Zhou?¡±


    The seven or eight workers saw the short, plump man, ¡°Boss, over here.¡±


    The chubby man, hearing the voice, hurried over as well, his face full of worry, ¡°How are they? Are they alright?¡±


    Seeing so many people, Chen Cang said, ¡°Everyone, please wait outside. Oh, Xiao Lin, take them to handle the paperwork. Help me place an order for tendon suture surgery for each of them. By the way, are you going to set up an account for deferred payment or¡­?¡±


    The short, stout foreman quickly said, ¡°No deferred payment, I¡¯ve brought money!¡±


    He had come so late because he¡¯d first gone to get the money!


    ¡°Doctor, please take good care of them. Thankyou, I¡¯ll go pay now!


    After Xiao Lin led the others out, Chen Cang started with Yang Zhifu s


    treatment.


    At that moment, the short, chubby man quietly entered the treatment room and, seeing Chen Cang preparing to suture Yang Zhifu, took out several hundred yuan, carefully offered it to Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor! Please, take this as a trouble fee. Please help them; they can¡¯t have any accidents while working with me. If anything happens, I won¡¯t be able to face going home.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately shook his head, pushing the money back, and said earnestly, ¡°Rest assured, I will treat them properly. Keep this money to care for their recovery. Also¡­ they definitely won¡¯t be able to work for at least half a month, you¡­¡±


    After Chen Cang gave instructions, the short, stout man nodded repeatedly, realizing he couldn¡¯t press the red envelope upon him, he reluctantly gave up.


    What a scene this was!


    The short, stout man sighed.


    Both tendons on the back of the hand were major ones, frequently used in daily life. If they were not stitched up properly, it would certainly affect future functioning. Most importantly, the surrounding tissues were severely damaged, leading to significant trouble with adhesions later on. Chen Cang had to pay close attention!


    The surgery began, Zhou Kuangsheng sat there silently. If it hadn¡¯t been for Old Yang today, he might have lost his life!


    At this thought, he felt a shiver run through him!


    Fortunately, Chen Cang was a master at tendon suture surgery, highly skilled, with a relatively quick sewing pace, because there was another man with equally severe injuries waiting behind.

 Chapter 154 - Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Sorry, its not convenient to answer the phone (Vote for me!)

    Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Sorry, it¡¯s not convenient to answer the phone (Vote for me!)


    Outside the treatment room, Zhou Kuangsheng sat with a thin, scholarly- looking young man, chatting intermittently.


    The short, plump man was a foreman, scurrying back and forth, and soon brought over a cup of Master Kang instant noodles with a braised egg, a pack of pickled vegetables, and a sausage for the young man. ¡°Old Zhou, I¡¯ll go make your noodles for you. Have something to fill your stomach first!¡±


    After he finished speaking, it wasn¡¯t long before the instant noodles were brought over and placed on a chair with the pickles, sausage, and braised egg added in.


    Zhou Kuangsheng gave a smile, ¡°Foreman, you guys go on and get busy. We¡¯re fine here.¡±


    The short, plump man nodded, ¡°You guys take care of this first, I¡¯m going to get them something to eat.¡±


    Having said that, he got up and left!


    Fortunately, it was Zhou Kuangsheng¡¯s left hand that was injured. His right hand was still free to do anything. After a brief bandaging by the nurse, the bleeding had stopped now.


    ¡°Is that your foreman? He seems quite responsible!¡± said the slim man with glasses, watching the bustling foreman and couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Zhou Kuangsheng smiled, ¡°Yeah. Little Zhao, our foreman, is a good person. He¡¯s taken care of us as we travel from place to place over the years. Last year during the New Year, to get our pay, he stubbornly waited outside the boss¡¯s house for a week. It wasn¡¯t until eleven o¡¯clock on New Year¡¯s Eve that he got the money and went home.¡±


    ¡°To follow a boss like that, you feel secure!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man was momentarily stunned, then nodded in agreement, ¡°The young fellow is really good!¡±


    As they were speaking, the emergency room outside became noisy again.


    In the meantime, a group of people were hustling a young boy in from outside in a hurry.


    ¡°Who is Doctor Chen Cang!?¡±


    The leader, a middle-aged woman in a dress, asked with a worried expression.


    Tan Zhonglin was suddenly confused.


    Did all of today¡¯s patients like to bring their relatives?


    This group of people, consisting of about five or six individuals, were dressed fashionably, creating a stark contrast with the group of workers from before!


    Tan Zhonglin quickly asked, ¡°Hello, Doctor Chen is stitching up a patient right now. What seems to be the problem?¡±


    The middle-aged woman hurriedly moved forward, ¡°My child accidentally injured his wrist today. We went to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, but Director Tan Zhonglin was out on a trip, so they told me to come to the Second Provincial Hospital and find Doctor Chen Cang from the emergency department!¡±


    ¡°How long will it take for Doctor Chen?¡±


    Tan Zhonglin shook his head, ¡°It might take some time; there¡¯s another patient ahead with pretty severe injuries. You might want to sit down and rest for a while!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman¡¯s face changed instantly, ¡°In that case¡­ I¡¯ll go talk to Doctor Chen, where is he?¡±


    Hearing this, Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help feeling a knot in his stomach. Was this another VIP?


    ¡°Doctor Chen is in the treatment room doing a procedure. It would be best for you to wait for him to come out. Please don¡¯t interrupt Doctor Chen¡¯s treatment.¡±


    ¡°Sister, wait a second,¡± a man in a shirt and trousers consoled her.


    The middle-aged woman sighed, quickly approached the boy, ¡°Rui Er, are you okay? Does it hurt?¡±


    The boy looked to be around twenty, dressed in hip-hop style clothing, his hair dyed purple, and his face clearly expressing, ¡°What¡¯s it to you?¡±


    Upon hearing the woman¡¯s words, the boy huffed coldly and did not reply.


    After a while¡­ since the door had not yet opened,


    The middle-aged woman grew even more anxious.


    Pacing back and forth, she was fretful and murmured, ¡°Why hasn¡¯t he come out yet!¡±


    The boy said with a mocking tone, ¡°You think this is your hospital? You ask someone to come out, and they just appear? This is a hospital, not your company. What you say doesn¡¯t count.¡±


    The middle-aged woman turned around with a stern face, ready to scold someone, but upon seeing the boy¡¯s gaze, she clenched her teeth and swallowed her anger.


    Suddenly remembering something, the woman picked up the phone and walked to the corner, ¡°Hello? Zhao Bureau, yes! I am Liu Ze¡¯s wife. Uh, I¡¯m now in the emergency department of Provincial Hospital No. 2. My child had an accident, but there are too many people ahead of us. Do you know someone who could help?¡±


    ¡°Oh! Thank you for your trouble, alright, alright!¡±


    At this moment, the door to the treatment room opened, and Chen Cang said to Yang Zhifu, ¡°For the time being, there is no need for a hospital stay. Go home and rest well, and make sure to take your medicine and come for a follow-up as prescribed.¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang said to Zhou Kuangsheng, ¡°You can come in now!¡±


    Upon seeing this, the middle-aged woman hurriedly ran towards Chen Cang, not caring whether her high-heeled shoes were convenient!


    ¡°Wait, wait! Dr. Chen Cang, right? I am a friend of Director Tan Zhonglin from the Provincial Government. I have something to discuss with you.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Just say it, but¡­ be quick. The patient needs treatment and we can¡¯t delay for long.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the woman¡¯s face brightened, and she hurriedly turned back, ¡°Come, come, Rui Er, come with me.¡±


    The boy shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m not going anywhere. I want to wait in line. The hospital has its order, and I will wait. You can go in if you want, but I won¡¯t!¡±


    These words left the woman trembling with rage, her finger pointed at the boy in fury!


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that if you miss the best treatment period, your hand will be ruined? That you¡¯ll be disabled?¡±


    The boy let out a cold laugh, ¡°What¡¯s the difference between me now and a disabled person? Haven¡¯t you decided not to teach me? Look! This is how others educate me; they do it for you. Sometimes, I think I should thank them.¡±


    Seeing this, the man in the shirt intervened, ¡°That¡¯s enough, little Rui. Let¡¯s not talk about this now. First, let¡¯s take a look at your hand, and we can discuss this later. After all, your health is what¡¯s important.¡±


    While talking, the man glared at the woman and pulled the boy forward.


    The woman followed: ¡°Doctor, please treat my child first. He¡¯s still young; don¡¯t delay!¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Come in, and let me take a look.¡±


    The woman quickly brought the boy in. Chen Cang removed the bunch of stuff covering the wound, examined it¡ªa jagged cut at the base of the thumb with some glass shards, half-severed tendons, and some blood vessel damage, but nothing too serious.


    After inspecting it, Chen Cang said, ¡°It¡¯s not too serious. Take the child to the waiting area; there¡¯s another patient ahead whose condition is relatively more severe.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the boy turned and walked out, but the woman hastily pulled at him, ¡°Doctor! Please, could you treat my child first?¡±


    After speaking, she reached into her purse, fumbled around, and took out her wallet. She pulled out all the cash and stuffed it into Chen Gang¡¯s hands, a total of more than ten thousand, ¡°Please, doctor. My child is still young and has a promising future.¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Cang immediately refused, ¡°Big sister, this isn¡¯t appropriate. This is a hospital, and you must wait your turn. We have our rules here.¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang stepped out, ¡°Zhou Kuangsheng, come in, please.¡±


    Chen Cang never had much fondness for those who felt that having money meant they could disregard the rules with impunity, especially since Zhou Kuangsheng¡¯s condition was indeed severe; he outright refused.


    The woman¡¯s expression changed, and she said to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, Director Tan Zhonglin is a friend of mine. By the way, I am the Chairman of Reid Pharmaceutical Company. We also have partnerships with your hospital. Could you possibly make an accommodation for us?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°You¡¯ll need to wait outside. The boy¡¯s condition isn¡¯t too severe, so a short delay won¡¯t have any consequences.¡±


    The boy sneered, ¡°See? Your money is no good here.¡±


    The woman¡¯s face turned, and she picked up the phone, dialing a number, ¡°Hello? Chief Song, this is Xiang Ying from Reid. Yes, Liu Ze¡¯s wife. I¡¯m at your hospital right now. Yes, my child has had an accident and we¡¯re at the emergency department. Could you possibly do us a favor? Yes, Chen Cang, Dr. Chen!¡±


    She handed the phone to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, this is Chief Song from your medical affairs department.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Sorry, I can¡¯t take the call!¡±


    ¡°Zhou Kuangsheng, come in quickly. Your condition doesn¡¯t look good; hurry in!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but urge.

    Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Bootlickers Can¡¯t Get a House! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)


    At that moment, the scene became awkward!


    Song Qiang had already heard Chen Gang¡¯s words over the phone, inconvenient?


    This kid, how inconvenient can he be!


    Xiang Ying picked up the phone, ¡°This¡­ Director Song-


    Song Qiang¡¯s face changed and he said, ¡°Wait for me, I am still in the hospital, not yet gone. I¡¯ll come down immediately.¡±


    Today the hospital had finished assessing the temporary workers, and the Medical Affairs Department needed to amend the personnel contracts as soon as possible, so both the Medical Affairs and the Human Resources departments were busy with this matter. As the head of the Medical Affairs Department, Song Qiang hadn¡¯t gone home yet.


    At this time, Xiang Ying was not giving way, while the boy stood to the side, leaning against the wall, looking on as if watching a play.


    The woman, upon seeing Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng¡¯s attire, had an idea, ¡°Um, two brothers, the child is still young, can you make an exception? Oh, here¡¯s ten thousand yuan, please take it, is that okay?¡±


    Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng¡¯s faces turned from green to purple.


    Very uncomfortable.


    Zhou Kuangsheng was even more embarrassed. He wasn¡¯t ignorant of the ways of the world; he knew that Dr. Chen Cang was a good person, but¡­ even so, he was afraid of causing trouble for him.


    And this woman¡¯s dress clearly showed she was no ordinary person.


    Calling on the phone, mentioning directors, chiefs, chairmen, she likely had a strong background. He wanted treatment too, but he also didn¡¯t want to trouble Chen Cang!


    Looking at the thick stack of money Xiang Ying offered, a lot, it would take him two or three months to save up. It could buy several good outfits for the kid, enough to save for his eldest son¡¯s tuition fees.


    But Zhou Kuangsheng couldn¡¯t help but give a simple smile, ¡°It¡¯s okay, let the child be seen first. Everyone has children, and I feel sorry for the kid too. I am not so delicate, and in our line of work, we get injured often, no problem. Let the child go first, I¡¯m not in a rush.¡±


    Ten thousand yuan was very tempting, but some things are more important than money!


    Having lived for over fifty years, didn¡¯t he understand this? The woman must be very capable, and if he offended her, it could be bad for everyone¡­


    Zhou Kuangsheng was an honest man, and since coming to the city, he felt out of place, keeping his distance from the rich and powerful.


    At this time, he chose to step back.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang felt helpless. About three minutes later, Song Qiang rushed in, probably running too fast which caused his bald spot to be starkly revealed.


    Upon seeing Xiang Ying, Song Qiang greeted from afar with a smile, ¡°Director Xiang, long time no see!¡±


    Xiang Ying also smiled, ¡°Director Song, sorry for the bother.¡±


    Song Qiang quickly waved his hand and followed Chen Cang into the treatment room, ¡°Dr. Chen? Right? You treat this child first, a few minutes won¡¯t make a difference. You could¡¯ve finished stitching him up in this time.


    Song Qiang didn¡¯t know Chen Cang, only having heard the name recently. But¡­ there were so many people in the hospital, and Chen Cang was just an insignificant figure.


    The Medical Affairs Department is very important to doctors, directly in charge and also protecting them in disputes, like patient-doctor conflicts handled by the Medical Affairs Department.


    So, in the hospital, Song Qiang¡¯s status was by no means inferior to that of the deputy directors, even getting more respect than them since he directly managed the doctors.


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Director Song, Zhou Kuangsheng¡¯s condition is critical. Can you take that responsibility if you delay it?¡±


    Chen Cang had already grown weary of these rich VIPs, impervious to reason! The only thing that could be delayed was the patient¡¯s treatment. After saying this, Chen Cang turned to Zhou Kuangsheng, ¡°Come in, I can¡¯t guarantee your hand will recover if you delay any further!¡±


    Chen Gang¡¯s words were unceremonious, leaving Song Qiang as if slapped in the face!


    This was the first time since he¡¯d been a chief that he had been so bluntly refused by a young doctor!


    Song Qiang¡¯s face changed drastically!


    He was about to speak.


    At this moment, the previously frail man with gold-rimmed glasses stood up, let out a cold laugh, ¡°Is there no order in this hospital anymore? We¡¯ve been waiting in line for so long, and you just jump the queue when you arrive? Are you Director Song? Is this how the hospital operates?


    As he spoke, the thin man gave Chen Cang a meaningful look. Chen Cang immediately understood, pulled Zhou Kuangsheng in, closed the door for treatment, not caring about the storm outside. What he needed to do now was treat the patient!


    Zhou Kuangsheng¡¯s face was filled with nervous unease as he asked cautiously, ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ am I going to cause trouble for you?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s first administer the anesthesia to you.¡±


    Zhou Kuangsheng still looked uneasy, ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯re still young and don¡¯t understand¡­ Those people are rich and powerful. They could be plotting against you in secret. By doing this today, ah¡­ I¡¯m really bringing trouble to a good person.¡±


    Seeing Zhou Kuangsheng¡¯s guilty look, Chen Cang comforted him:


    ¡°Big Brother Zhou, you¡¯re about the same age as my parents, and they¡¯re also villagers. If I, out of fear of those rich and powerful people, went against my conscience and did what I did today, I might never be able to live with myself. Once a person abandons their principles, it¡¯s easy, but very hard to regain them later on!¡±


    ¡°One must have principles in life, and as a doctor, even more so. My responsibility lies with the happiness of people, bearing their health. If I lost my principles and bottom line today, tomorrow I would still be without principles and a bottom line. Such a doctor, I¡¯d rather not be!


    ¡°If I am to be a doctor, I shall stand tall and upright with integrity!¡±


    Having said that, Chen Cang felt somewhat stirred up inside!


    He didn¡¯t know why he had spoken those words, they might have been meant for Zhou Kuangsheng to hear, but more so for himself.


    If the hospital really did hand down a punishment, Chen Cang had thought it through clearly: he could simply drop everything and leave! The world was vast; there would surely be a place for Chen Cang. If Qin Xiaoyuan and Li Baoshan couldn¡¯t give Chen Cang a fair environment, leaving might not be such a bad thing after all.


    The Chen Cang of now was no longer the man he had been before.


    With the system in place, if he still had to walk on eggshells, blindly follow others without principles, what was the point of having this system?


    A true man has things he will and will not do!


    Even without the system, Chen Cang was still a man of principles.


    The reason he had left the private hospital in the first place was that he felt it violated his medical conscience!


    Taking a deep breath, even if today was the last day he would stand in this hospital, he would make sure to stand tall!


    ¡°I¡¯ll administer the anesthetic, just relax¡­¡±


    At this moment, outside the treatment room, the scene was boisterous!


    The words of the thin man instantly sparked an uproar among the crowd gathered!


    Everyone felt sympathy for the two migrant workers who had politely bowed and apologized.


    ¡°But look at you, coming in with a department head clearing the way, expecting to be treated first?¡±


    ¡°Is this hospital owned by your family?¡±


    The surrounding crowd also started making a commotion!


    ¡°And you¡¯re a department head at the hospital? It¡¯s people like you who ruin the order here!¡±


    ¡°Trash! Parasites!¡±


    ¡°Film him, expose him, put it on the internet, let everyone see how great


    Second Hospital¡¯s Director Song is!¡±


    ¡°And this Mr. Xiang, let¡¯s expose him too, to see just how powerful he really is!¡±


    At this, Song Qiang panicked; in today¡¯s society, the pressure from public opinion was immense.


    Song Qiang¡¯s face changed, ¡°Emergency cases need to be prioritized, and for critical and severe cases among many diseases, it¡¯s permissible to provide a fast track. And this child, his wound indeed requires treatment within a certain time frame¡­¡±


    Unfortunately, no one listened to him!


    The boy, far from being nervous, watched the scene with great interest, ¡°Mr. Xiang, aren¡¯t you powerful? And this Director Song, haven¡¯t you heard the saying? A bootlicker never wins in the end!¡±

 Chapter 156 - Chapter 156: Chapter 156: If I Were a Doctor! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)

    Chapter 156: Chapter 156: If I Were a Doctor! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)


    Zhou Kuangsheng¡¯s treatment was somewhat lighter than Yang Zhifu¡¯s, but suturing the blood vessels still took some effort from Chen Cang.


    After less than an hour, everything was finally taken care of, and Chen Cang gave some instructions.


    ¡°Don¡¯t go back tonight, get hospitalized. After the director¡¯s rounds tomorrow morning, I¡¯ll see how things are going; if you¡¯re stable, you can be discharged.¡± Zhou Kuangsheng is over fifty this year, but the wrinkles on his face are more numerous than those on the lean man in his sixties we just saw, etched by wind and sand, bearing the marks of time.


    Zhou Kuangsheng stood up and bowed to Chen Cang: ¡°Doctor Chen, you are a good man, there are still many good people in this world¡­¡±


    ¡°I hope today¡¯s matter¡­ won¡¯t be a burden on you, or else I¡¯d feel terrible. I¡¯m just a farmer, I can¡¯t hold you guys up¡­¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head and saw Zhou Kuangsheng off.


    After the treatment room door opened, the outside was in chaos. At this time, Section Chief Song had lost all his authority and could only keep explaining.


    Chen Cang spoke to the little boy, ¡°Come in.¡±


    The boy did as he was told and walked straight in, obediently.


    Chen Cang was actually curious; the relationship between this mother and son seemed average. Looking at the young man dressed in trendy clothes, with purple hair, Chen Cang said, ¡°Give me your hand.¡±


    The boy was cooperative, showing no defiance, which puzzled Chen Cang.


    He had initially thought the boy was a defiant second-generation rich kid, and judging by his behavior outside a moment ago, it seemed to be the case¡ªacting without considering consequences, not afraid of stirring up trouble!


    But¡­


    None of that was his concern.


    Chen Cang first cleaned the wound, which contained many shards. He asked, ¡°How did you get this?¡±


    Liu Rui smiled and said, ¡°I was playing with some people in a bar, got into a fight, and accidentally cut myself.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled¡­


    Liu Rui suddenly asked, ¡°Doctor Chen, my mom is the CEO of a company worth over a billion, and my dad¡¯s a government official. That section head just now, I heard he¡¯s from your medical department. With so many people around, aren¡¯t you scared being a junior doctor?¡±


    Chen Cang hesitated for a moment, ¡°Scared.¡±


    Liu Rui was startled, ¡°Scared-.yetyou still do this?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°There are things you have to do even if you¡¯re scared; that¡¯s the bottom line. There are people you have to save even if you hate them; that¡¯s the principle.¡±


    ¡°What I¡¯m afraid of isn¡¯t them, it¡¯s myself. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll lose my original intention and forget my bottom line.¡±


    After saying this, Chen Cang didn¡¯t say much else.


    However, Liu Rui was left speechless by Chen Gang¡¯s words.


    After a long while¡­


    He finally took a deep breath.


    Liu Rui looked up and asked, ¡°Are you talking about me? You hate people like me, but you still treat us because you¡¯re a doctor, right?¡±


    His surgery turned out to be quite simple, taking less than forty minutes. After Chen Cang finished up, he looked at Liu Rui and smiled, ¡°Whether you¡¯re good or bad, that¡¯s none of my concern. The moment you sit here, you¡¯re my patient.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Cang called out, ¡°Next!¡±


    Watching Liu Rui come out, Xiang Ying immediately approached, ¡°Are you okay? Is everything alright?¡±


    Liu Rui nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Don¡¯t make a scene in the hospital anymore. If you¡¯re divorced, just move on. Don¡¯t keep being Liu Ze¡¯s wife all the time¡ª remember¡­ ex-wife! I don¡¯t understand, is money really that important?¡± Upon hearing this, Xiang Ying¡¯s face changed, ¡°You don¡¯t understand¡­¡± Liu Rui smiled, ¡°Right, I don¡¯t understand. I¡¯m still young¡­ Let¡¯s go.¡±


    After saying that, Liu Rui left the hospital first.


    Xiang Ying¡¯s expression changed as she looked at Song Qiang, unable to resist saying, ¡°Section Chief Song, I¡¯ve caused you trouble.¡±


    Song Qiang¡¯s face changed as he said with a smile, ¡°No trouble at all.¡±


    Yang Zhifu and Zhou Kuangsheng¡¯s conditions were more serious, so they stayed in the hospital overnight.


    And the protagonist of the farce, Liu Rui, had already left; the commotion now was meaningless.


    Song Qiang, lingering here, found it even more meaningless, his face alternating between ashen and purplish, struggling to catch his breath.


    That Chen Cang was just too¡­ prickly!


    Thinking this, Song Qiang could not help but scowl.


    The Medical Affairs Department mainly deals with various medical disputes; today, he had not expected to personally encounter one.


    Such bad luck¡­


    However, thinking of Xiang Ying and Liu Ze, he felt it was worth it.


    As for Chen Cang, an insignificant character, and those patients, also insignificant. After all, Song Qiang was the one dealing with such issues; he had long become adept at it.


    But Chen Cang needed to be put in his place.


    At this moment, Yuan Fan could clearly see the whole situation from beginning to end; he sneered inwardly. Chen Cang really had no idea what he was up against!


    Indeed, in hospitals, there is often queue-jumping!


    Most frequently, it¡¯s those wearing lab coats who jump the queue, utilizing so- called ¡®inside¡¯ connections.


    The administrative departments are the worst; they just make a call to let someone in, a call that makes everyone else wait further.


    Such things happen, and outpatient doctors have no say in it. You say that you have lots of patients in the clinic, and you don¡¯t agree with queue-jumping.


    Then, simply enough, maybe after a few days, you are limited to seeing only 30 patients, with no chance of seeing one more.


    Or they outright cancel your clinic sessions!


    The hospital has been spoiled by its own!


    Seeing Chen Gang¡¯s refusal to play along, Yuan Fan naturally felt much happier. Seeing Song Qiang gasping for breath in frustration, Yuan Fan thought he should seize the opportunity!


    With this in mind, he sneakily made his way out: ¡°Chief Song, Chen Cang lacks any sense of propriety!¡±


    Song Qiang was taken aback, ¡°You are¡­ Oh! You¡¯re that Yuan Fan, right?¡± Yuan Fan, who hadn¡¯t been admitted to the hospital, had used connections to come in as a contract worker.


    Song Qiang had some impression of these related people, as those were exactly the kind of things filling the minds of administrators.


    Yuan Fan was happy to see that Song Qiang remembered him: ¡°Chief Song, Chen Cang relies on the Director¡¯s favoritism and has developed such a character, don¡¯t mind him.¡±


    Song Qiang was startled, and suddenly remembered Li Baoshan, he too was someone who was difficult to deal with.


    Seeing Yuan Fan¡¯s behavior, Song Qiang frowned. Such a young man¡­ too naive, but¡­ still good.


    Song Qiang nodded, then suddenly said, ¡°Xiao Yuan, remember to call me if anything comes up in the department, you know my number, right?¡±


    Yuan Fan¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°I know!¡±


    Song Qiang turned and walked away.


    By the time Chen Cang finished with the patients, it was around eleven. He saw Yuan Fan still busy, seemingly sorting out the medical records for the end of the month.


    Chen Cang shook his head, and just as he sat down in his office chair, the phone suddenly rang.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, hurry to Operating Room 3!¡± Zhang Youfu¡¯s voice was urgent, Chen Cang had never heard Zhang Youfu speak like this before!


    Chen Gang¡¯s face changed, not Operating Room 3 again!


    ¡°Ding! Emergency rescue mission for the old hospital director. Mission alert: The life of the old hospital director, Fang Yonglin, hangs by a thread and he needs rescuing. Please make a decision within ten seconds! 10¡­ 9- 8¡­¡± Chen Cang was startled, it seemed the situation was critical!

 Chapter 157 - Chapter 157: Chapter 157: A Great Irony (Subscribe please!)

    Chapter 157: Chapter 157: A Great Irony (Subscribe please!)


    Fang Yonglin was now eighty-seven years old. He had dedicated his lifetime to the medical industry. Childless and with his spouse having passed away, he immersed himself even more deeply into his medical work without any family


    concerns.


    His life was not filled with commendations and honors, nor had he received many accolades, but he had indeed saved many lives.


    Older generations of medical workers were just like that, quietly benefiting the community without seeking fame.


    It was under Fang¡¯s leadership that Xiehe Second Hospital was established with a group of senior doctors. Through all kinds of hardships for fifty years, it stood on the north side of Jianyang City¡¯s Jianshe Road, becoming a well-known tertiary hospital in Jianyang City.


    Yet such an elderly man, after retirement, still worked silently at his post, persisting in seeing patients three days a week, no matter the weather.


    Last year, after suffering multiple cerebral infarctions, he started to live in a nursing home, and since this April, his jaundice worsened.


    Ultrasounds confirmed the presence of a huge gallstone, and his abdominal colic became increasingly severe, the old man¡¯s health was deteriorating day by


    day!


    However, such a man who contributed his life to Jianyang City, when he fell sick in his old age, got turned away by every hospital!


    This was undoubtedly an immense irony!


    The Provincial People¡¯s Hospital did not dare to admit him!


    Neither did the first or second hospitals of Dongda!


    The Municipal People¡¯s Hospital and the Jianyang City Bethune Hospital did not dare to admit him either!


    In the vast Jianyang City, there was suddenly not a single place that could take


    in this elderly man.


    Having no choice, people had to take him back to Xiehe Second Hospital.


    Li Jianwei, Hao Xuliang, Tao Zi, Qin Xiaoyuan, and others were all grim-faced, not uttering a word!


    Everyone knew the situation of the general surgery department at Xiehe Second Hospital. If it were not for Zhang Youfu maintaining the hospital¡¯s reputation, its level would truly not differ much from that of a second-tier hospital.


    Fang Yonglin was childless all his life, yet he raised a group of pillars for Xiehe Second Hospital, including Li Jianwei, Hao Xuliang, Tao Zi, and Qin Xiaoyuan.


    All four were Fang¡¯s students.


    Back then, medical specialties were not so finely divided. After graduating from Xiehe, Fang returned to Jianyang City to establish Xiehe Second Hospital. He personally trained these individuals, who later established various departments and gained their current standing after being sent out for further studies!


    Yet even these individuals, each a director or deputy director, just couldn¡¯t get


    Fang Yonglin admitted to a better hospital, how ironic!


    Because no one would take him in!


    They didn¡¯t dare!


    Fang Yonglin was a medical hero of Jianyang City, nearly 90 years old, in extremely poor health with conditions like cirrhosis, diabetes, hypertension, and portal hypertension!


    He was now experiencing an acute attack of jaundice with cholecystitis and gallstones!


    Who would dare to operate?


    Who could take responsibility if problems arose from the surgery?


    As the jaundice worsened day by day, Fang Yonglin¡¯s health declined rapidly, and Qin Xiaoyuan was extremely anxious but had no solution.


    Now, no hospital dared to shoulder such a burden, despite Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s desperate pleading. Even if Li Jianwei was a renowned surgeon in the province, nothing could be done. Everyone was afraid to take on such a responsibility.


    Even surgery!


    No one dared to perform it, because if Fang really died under their own knife, this would become notorious throughout Dongyang Province!


    Yet for such an elder in the medical field, to not even make a statement made these specialists also feel somewhat embarrassed. Left with no choice, this led to the current situation of a major consultation within the province.


    At this moment, inside the consultation office, there were a dozen experts from various large hospitals in Jianyang City, all specialists in the field of general


    surgery.


    Yet these experts, gathered together, looked at Fang Yonglin¡¯s medical records


    in silence.


    Qian Liang, after all the leading expert in the field of hepatobiliary, sighed, ¡°Director Qin, Director Li, this is the situation. Fang is too old, and he has too many underlying diseases. His tolerance for surgery is extremely low; if the operation proceeds, the mortality rate is over ninety percent!¡±


    ¡°So¡­ you still need to think it over seriously!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was Fang Yonglin¡¯s biggest and most promising student, whom


    Fang proudly introduced to others as his ¡®adoptive son.


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s position as a director was also closely linked to his teacher¡¯s generous support.


    So, Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Fang Yonglin as a father.


    This was not only a father as in ¡®once a teacher, forever a father,¡¯ but also a father for whom he would don solemn mourning, guard the coffin, and see through to the end!


    Li Jianwei was a few years younger than Qin Xiaoyuan. Ultimately, these matters depended on Qin Xiaoyuan.


    Fang Yonglin had no children; these people were like adopted sons to him.


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face was grim, his eyes betraying an unknown thought. As a doctor, he understood that birth, aging, sickness, and death were all part of human life, but when it came to his own experience, he was still unable to decide!


    Seeing this, Liu Siqi exhaled a sigh, earnestly persuading, ¡°Director Qin, actually, considering the old man¡¯s age, my suggestion is that there¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble. Mister Fang has lived a dignified life; let¡¯s not allow him to suffer in his old age¡­ I reckon the surgery would be too much for him to endure! There¡¯s even a possibility that he might pass away on the operating table¡­¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s expression was indecisive!


    To save or not to save?


    To perform the surgery or not?


    That had become the biggest question.


    If it were to be done, who would do it?


    And if not?


    Qin Xiaoyuan found it hard to forgive himself. There was a chance¡­


    After the consultation, everyone slowly left Xiehe No. 2 Hospital, with no one willing to perform the surgery for Qin Xiaoyuan. Going through with such a surgery, don¡¯t even joke about it!


    Taking on such a notorious reputation wasn¡¯t worth it!


    Others would say, so-and-so performed the surgery and killed Mister Fang Yonglin.


    Once these words got out, who could withstand it!


    Therefore, everyone slowly departed, leaving Qin Xiaoyuan and a few others in the room lamenting.


    Suddenly, Li Jianwei turned around, fixing his gaze on Qin Xiaoyuan, ¡°I want to try!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t respond but just looked at Li Jianwei emotionlessly.


    Li Jianwei¡¯s eyes were firm, he nodded seriously, ¡°Big brother, let¡¯s¡­ give it a try!¡±


    ¡°What if¡­ what if there¡¯s a chance?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s eyes flickered, and he opened them wide to take a deep breath, for a long time!


    ¡°Let¡¯s try! If it works, we¡¯ll take care of the teacher until his old age in the Veteran Cadres¡¯ ward. If not, we¡¯ll grieve and see the teacher off together!¡±


    Li Jianwei clenched his fist!


    ¡°Good, I¡¯ll call Zhang Youfu!¡±


    Zhang Youfu had just sent off the consultants when he suddenly received a call from Li Jianwei and hurried back.


    ¡°Director Li, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Li Jianwei: ¡°Prepare for surgery!¡±


    Zhang Youfu was startled, ¡°Is there a patient¡­?¡±


    Before he could finish, Zhang Youfu immediately realized!


    Li Jianwei meant to prepare for surgery for Elder Fang Yonglin!


    Zhang Youfu was dumbstruck¡­


    Li Jianwei suddenly turned around, grabbing Zhang Youfu¡¯s arms with both hands, his eyes, misty, staring into Zhang Youfu¡¯s.


    He said in a grave voice, ¡°Director Zhang, please!¡±


    Zhang Youfu let out a sigh, a rare spark within him: ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll do my best!¡± At that moment, aside from doing his best, what else could be said!


    Turning around, Zhang Youfu picked up the phone, notifying Duan Bo, Zhang Zhixin, Zhou Xiaodong, and others: ¡°Prepare for surgery!¡±

 Chapter 160 - Chapter 160: Chapter 161: Fang Yonglins Skill Set

    Chapter 160: Chapter 161: Fang Yonglin¡¯s Skill Set


    After an hour and forty minutes!


    The surgery finally concluded successfully!


    At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


    Qin Xiaoyuan, Li Jianwei, and others now looked at Chen Cang with great fondness, even more than their own sons!


    Chen Cang turned around, removed his mask, and looked at everyone, ¡°The operation went very smoothly!¡±


    Just then, Li Baoshan entered, sweating profusely and with an anxious expression. Upon entering and seeing everyone silent, especially Zhang Youfu just sitting there while everyone else stood without doing anything, he immediately panicked.


    ¡°Did the surgery¡­ fail?¡±


    His question stunned everyone, and then they all burst out laughing.


    Li Baoshan was also left confused.


    Li Jianwei turned, patted Li Baoshan on the shoulder: ¡°Baoshan! Your department has produced a real talent! Exceptional, truly exceptional!¡±


    Zhang Youfu also nodded, standing up: ¡°Director Li, Chen has a natural gift for surgery, so¡­ how about you give him to me? Let him join the general surgery team. I, Zhang Youfu, swear, if I ever treat Chen unfairly, I¡¯ll never work in surgery again!¡±


    Zhang Youfu spoke with righteous indignation, and his words were powerful, even causing Zhou Xiaodong and Duan Bo to feel a twinge of envy hearing them!


    But they could do nothing, as he was indeed extraordinary.


    So extraordinary that you¡¯re left speechless!


    It was at this point that Li Baoshan realized the operation was already completed and that Chen Cang, that kid, had likely scored another achievement!


    With this thought, Li Baoshan darkened his face: ¡°The surgery¡¯s done? Chen, hurry back to your shift!¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, got up, and quickly left.


    Zhang Youfu was startled, thinking, damn you Li charcoal¡­


    Zhang Youfu hastily said: ¡°Wait, 1 really have something to say. Next month, at the Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery Society¡¯s Dongyang provincial branch meeting, there will be a surgical case competition, and 1 think your surgical video has the potential to win an award. Chen, I suggest you give it a try!¡± I Ding! Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery Dongyang Provincial Branch surgical case competition PK, winning can grant a Hepatobiliary Surgery qualification certificate!]


    Chen Cang was suddenly taken aback. Was this the so-called PK drop?


    With this thought, Chen Cang turned around: ¡°Director Zhang, I would like to participate!¡±


    Zhang Youfu¡¯s smile bloomed beautifully, like a chrysanthemum!


    ¡°Great! When we¡¯re free we ll talk about this in detail, and you should also join the Dongyang Provincial Hepatobiliary Surgery Society.¡±


    After saying this, Zhang Youfu noticed Li Baoshan¡¯s face getting darker, which made his day even brighter.


    At that moment, Qin Xiaoyuan slowly approached, looked at Chen Cang, raised his hand to pat Chen¡¯s shoulder, and said solemnly, ¡°Chen, you are a hero of Province Second Hospital! Rest assured, the hospital will not let you down. If you need anything in the future, you can come directly to me. As long as I, Qin Xiaoyuan, can help, don¡¯t hesitate.¡±


    Li Jianwei felt the same, looking at Chen Cang: ¡°Chen, if you need to call in a favor in the future, I, Li Jianwei, owe you one.¡±


    Chen Cang was instantly stunned. How could one surgery have led to this?


    I Ding! Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s favorability rating +30, current favorability rating: 60!] [Ding! Li Jianwei¡¯s favorability rating +30, current favorability rating: 40!]


    Chen Cang had not expected that one surgery would raise Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s favorability rating to 60.


    lhe director¡¯s favorability must be quite valuable, right?


    And it¡¯s not just one director¡­


    No, including Hao Xuliang, there are three directors!


    Qin Xiaoyuan turned to look at Fang Yonglin and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Director Fang was our teacher. He led us into the profession and sent us out to learn. Without Director Fang, we wouldn¡¯t be who we are today! There would be no present-day Second Provincial Hospital. Now that he¡¯s old, if we can¡¯t do our utmost to provide him with a comfortable old age, what kind of students would we be¡­¡±


    This time, Chen Cang understood; so that was it!


    The medical industry¡¯s respect for teachers is unimaginable, the notion ¡®once a teacher, always a father figure¡¯ has always persisted, and there have even been instances where students have taken care of their teachers for the rest of their lives, even after a century.


    Moreover, Director Fang Yonglin is the founding contributor of the Second Provincial Hospital!


    It seemed that this gratitude was indeed quite substantial.


    Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°Director Qin, Director Li, you¡¯re too kind. This is what I should do!¡±


    ¡°I still have a shift, so I must be going¡­ or else the Medical Affairs Department will catch me and dock my attendance bonus,¡± Chen Cang joked as he excused himself.


    1 his caused Qin Xiaoyuan to laugh behind him and say, ¡°I¡¯d like to see who dares to deduct your money!¡±


    No sooner had Chen Cang stepped out the door than his face burst into a smile!


    He was returning fully rewarded!


    [Ding! You have completed the task of rescuing the old director, Fang Yonglin, and have received the reward: A draw from Fang Yonglin¡¯s skill pool! ]


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!


    A draw from Director Fang Yonglin¡¯s skill pool¡­ Did this mean there was a perfect skill available?


    At the thought, Chen Cang was filled with anticipation.


    Director Fang had dedicated fifty to sixty years of painstaking, unstoppable work, and his medical skills were needless to say.


    Although Chen Cang had started at the Second Provincial Hospital after Fang Yonghn had already been sent to a nursing home, he had still heard many legends about him, even playfully dubbed ¡®The Golden Glint¡¯!


    This was because of Fang Yonglin¡¯s exceptional skill in diagnosing diseases, even in the early days when equipment was less advanced, he was still able to accurately identify illnesses!


    Time for the draw!


    There would be no better moment than now, with the warmth of the surgery he¡¯d just performed for Director Fang still in his hands; what if the director, elated, gifted him a perfect skill?


    With this in mind, Chen Cang chose to draw!


    As a burst of light passed, Chen Cang immediately heard a crisp, pleasant sound.


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have drawn Fang Yonglin¡¯s skill: Clinical Interpretation of Physiological and Biochemical Tests (Passive Skill) Perfect Skill!]


    In that instant, Chen Cang felt as if his breathing could stop!


    Clinical interpretation skills, this skill was truly powerful!


    For example, diagnosing a disease is like analytical reasoning, a pile of test results are there to interpret detailed indicators, data, and imaging materials to understand the patient¡¯s illness thoroughly and eventually arrive at an accurate diagnosis, which in turn leads to better targeted treatment.


    In the process of diagnosing and treating diseases, the first step is always diagnosis, then comes treatment, and for many diseases, diagnosis is far more important than treatment.


    Take, for instance, the recent case of hyperventilation syndrome triggered by a young couple¡¯s quarrel; that was a classic example.


    [Clinical Interpretation of Physiological and Biochemical Tests: Passive skill, perfect level, description: Can accurately interpret physiological and biochemical indicators, discovering the hidden meaning behind each value!] A huge gain!


    To say the least, just this alone was a massive win!


    At the thought, Chen Cang felt a bit of secret delight, as this was yet another perfect skill he had acquired, and a passive one at that!


    With that in mind, Chen Cang looked forward even more to subsequent rewards.


    After all¡­


    He had defeated a king-level boss monster; surely he¡¯d exceeded the requirements for the class change mission, hadn¡¯t he?

 Chapter 165 - Chapter 165: Chapter 166: Editor-in-Chief Above (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 165: Chapter 166: Editor-in-Chief Above (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Song Qiang was left utterly speechless by Chen Gang¡¯s cunning moves!


    He was fuming with rage!


    He was grinding his teeth in anger!


    He was so angry that not even Liuwei Dihuang pills could calm him down!


    This bastard, he was just too arrogant.


    No way! This Chen Cang was definitely a thorn in the flesh, and if he wasn¡¯t taught a lesson, he really wouldn¡¯t know what the medical affairs department was for!


    Song Qiang turned and said to Wang Yihan, ¡°Keep calling, this time I¡¯ll talk to him!¡±


    Wang Yihan nodded and dialed the number again.


    The phone rang a few times before it was picked up: ¡°Hello? Good morning.¡±


    This time, Wang Yihan simply handed the phone to Song Qiang: ¡°Director Song, you¡¯re connected.¡±


    Song Qiang hurried over and answered the phone: ¡°Chen Cang, this is Song Qiang.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Oh! Section Chief Song, hello.¡±


    Song Qiang, suppressing his anger, said, ¡°Chen Cang, come to the medical affairs department, I need to talk to you about something!¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°That¡­ Director Song, I¡¯ve just finished a night shift, and as you know, I worked last night and I¡¯m utterly exhausted today. How about tomorrow? I¡¯ll come and see you tomorrow?¡±


    Hearing this, Song Qiang immediately said irritably: ¡°Do what you see fit!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Thank you, Director Song!¡±


    Song Qiang was stunned¡­ Was Chen Cang out of his mind?


    Did ¡°do what you see fit¡± mean this?


    Song Qiang was somewhat at a loss for words; he found that his usual methods were useless on Chen Cang.


    On normal days, everyone would speak to him nicely, but here was Chen Cang, who just wouldn¡¯t be cowed!


    Yesterday, in front of Xiang Ying and a bunch of patients, he made Song Qiang look bad, and today¡­ it was like this again, showing no regard for him at all.


    Fine!


    Chen Cang!


    You think you¡¯re tough, do you?


    I¡¯ll see just how tough you are!


    With that thought, Song Qiang directly said to Wang Yihan, ¡°Wang, draft a notice of reprimand, stating that Chen Cang is unrepentant about his mistake, has an improper work attitude, and lacks medical ethics¡­ Accordingly, he is hereby notified for his actions to serve as a warning, and his eligibility for the annual excellence award is revoked. He will be strictly reprimanded and warned, with the incident recorded in his file, to be taken as an important reference for future professional title evaluations!¡±


    Wang Yihan was stunned.


    Wasn¡¯t this too severe?


    Just a minor absence from work, and they¡¯re this strict?


    Besides, the emergency department didn¡¯t say anything, so wasn¡¯t the medical affairs department meddling a bit too much?


    However, Wang Yihan had only been rotating in the administrative office for half a year; after all, as a newcomer to the hospital, he needed to start in the administrative department, and he had to go along with whatever the leadership said. In the end, it was the leadership who signed off on these matters, not him!


    But¡­ Chen Cang was seriously fierce.


    He had actually confronted the head of the medical affairs department!


    Turning around with a face full of anger, Song Qiang thought, Chen Cang, if I don¡¯t discipline you today, you¡¯ll never learn your place!


    After issuing two reprimand notices in a row, Song Qiang still didn¡¯t feel satisfied. He grabbed his phone and sent two messages directly to the hospital-wide staff WeChat group, posting Chen Gang¡¯s two reprimand notices!


    With this, Song Qiang made Chen Cang instantly notorious within the hospital! ¡°Who is this Chen Cang?¡±


    ¡°Not sure, from the emergency department¡­¡±


    ¡°Probably a new young doctor?¡±


    ¡°Not bad! The kid has got spirit, seems like he¡¯s really got under Song Qiang¡¯s skin.¡±


    ¡°Still spirited? You must be crazy! Just got to the hospital and you don¡¯t know to keep a low profile, finding trouble for yourself.¡±


    After finishing work at noon today, Du Jiaxi passed by the Second Provincial Hospital and was about to go in to buy some antihypertensive drugs when she happened upon the emergency and outpatient departments, which were next to each other, and just then, she passed by the bulletin board.


    Speaking of coincidences, she had a calligraphy brush injury to her right foot yesterday, which made her walk a bit slower. While passing the bulletin board, Du Jiaxi glanced over and suddenly saw a familiar name.


    Chen Cang?


    Du Jiaxi recalled the young doctor from yesterday, and while being stitched up, she had specifically looked at Chen Gang¡¯s name badge.


    What happened to Chen Cang?


    Out of curiosity, Du Jiaxi stopped to read.


    What she saw made her stunned.


    There were two disciplinary notices, each more serious than the last, and the reason for Chen Gang¡¯s negligence was because he had left his post without authorization yesterday¡­


    When she saw the signature, Du Jiaxi¡¯s eyes narrowed, and she became somewhat angry!


    Ridiculous!


    That was utterly ridiculous!


    Where in the world would there be such a coincidence?


    The signature read: Medical Affairs Department, Song Qiang.


    Du Jiaxi thought back to the incident from last night and almost instantly pieced together the cause and course of everything that had happened!


    Yesterday, to stitch up two migrant workers, Chen Cang had embarrassed the head of the department named Song Qiang, who happened to be the head of the hospital¡¯s medical education department.


    The more Du Jiaxi thought about it, the angrier she became. This was clearly personal retaliation, wielding authority to act recklessly!


    People like them had ruined the hospital¡¯s atmosphere!


    They were truly the scum of society!


    Feeling more and more frustrated and angry, Du Jiaxi decided to inquire at the emergency department to find out exactly what had happened.


    Having been busy until now, Nurse Lin was just about to finish her night shift when she was suddenly stopped by a lean older person.


    Looking up, she recognized the face.


    Du Jiaxi was also startled¡ªby coincidence, this was the nurse from last night.


    Without delay, Du Jiaxi asked, ¡°Hello young lady, I¡¯m Du Jiaxi, the patient who came in for stitches last night at our emergency department.¡±


    Nurse Lin smiled: ¡°Uh-huh, good evening sir, is there anything I can help you with?¡±


    Du Jiaxi nodded: ¡°Young lady, I want to ask you about something, that Dr. Chen from last night¡­ why was he suddenly disciplined? And to receive two disciplinary actions at once?¡±


    Nurse Lin sighed and said indignantly, ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because of that Song Qiang? Bullying by power, he only picks on the weak and fears the strong, thinking that Dr. Chen is easy to bully, right?¡±


    ¡°Dr. Chen, who has been working hard, was always the first to arrive at the hospital and the last to leave. He was very conscientious and took meticulous care of the patients. Like you saw last night, the director said this morning during his rounds that if it weren¡¯t for the timely treatment, those two migrant workers¡¯ hands might not have recovered at all.¡±


    ¡°This Song Qiang is clearly seeking personal revenge. Last night Dr. Chen embarrassed him in front of those wealthy people, didn¡¯t comply, and so today early in the morning, the criticism was publicly posted!¡±


    Hearing this, Du Jiaxi¡¯s heart sank.


    Doctors with responsibility and compassion are becoming rarer and rarer, and just as he had seen one good example, he was treated like this. The more he thought about it, the more anger built up inside Du Jiaxi.


    As someone who lived through that era, he had a certain belief in his bones.


    Du Jiaxi still decided to inquire further: ¡°Young lady, did Chen Cang actually abandon his post without authorization?¡±


    Nurse Lin shook her head: ¡°Last night there was another Dr. Yuan on duty in the department. Dr. Chen must have had an emergency situation and left for an hour, but he didn¡¯t even leave for twenty minutes before he called Dr. Qin to help cover for the shift! Song Qiang is clearly just looking for trouble!¡±


    After Nurse Lin left, Du Jiaxi continued to ask a few more people in the emergency department and understood the situation more clearly. But with understanding came even greater anger!


    Forgoing the medication, she went straight home, furiously penned an article, and then picked up the phone to call the chief editor of Anyang Daily.


    ¡°Xiao He, it¡¯s Du Jiaxi!¡±

 Chapter 166 - Chapter 166: Chapter 167: To Treat Others, First Treat Yourself!

    Chapter 166: Chapter 167: To Treat Others, First Treat Yourself!


    Du Jiaxi felt incredibly wronged. Doctors as outstanding as Chen Cang were becoming rarer and rarer, and instead of being nurtured carefully, he was being punished¡ªit was outrageous!


    What this society needs is positive energy. What is the role of the media?


    Isn¡¯t it to spread social positivity and properly guide public opinion?


    And now?


    Should one simply allow a young person to be ruined?


    lie¡¯s so young, carrying such a punishment at a young age, and with the cancellation of all honors for the year, entered on his record, which will also be considered in future professional title evaluations¡ªit¡¯s clearly telling Chen Cang, is your future doomed?


    Thinking of this, Du Jiaxi was infuriated to the extreme, lawless and outrageous!


    What is called abuse of power?


    What is called vendetta under the guise of authority?


    ¡°Old leader? What¡¯s happened?¡± After the call connected, He Yongtang quickly asked.


    Du Jiaxi stated decisively, ¡°I¡¯ve written an article, and you¡¯re going to publish it tonight.¡±


    He Yongtang was taken aback, ¡°Today¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s all been scheduled. Can it wait until tomorrow morning?¡±


    Du Jiaxi spoke firmly, ¡°Let me tell you something, Xiao He. I injured my foot last night, went to the Second Provincial Hospital for treatment, and stumbled upon this incident¡­ then, this morning when 1 went to the hospital to buy medicine, I saw that notice of criticism¡­ after asking around, I found out¡­¡±


    Du Jiaxi embellished the story as he recounted it, inciting indignation in He Yongtang as well!


    After finishing, Du Jiaxi let out a sigh, ¡°Our newspaper isn¡¯t as influential as the new media these days, but we still have to play our role. We must critique certain wrongdoings! We must expose them, and for those who bring positive energy, we must publicize and protect them! Otherwise, where would we find those who carry the weight and silently contribute to our society!¡±


    ¡°So we must save this kid, and we must also wake up this sleeping city!¡±


    He Yongtang slapped the table, ¡°Alright! Old leader, rest assured, I will take care of this matter. It happens that I haven¡¯t made a decision on tonight¡¯s evening paper. I will amend it right now!¡±


    Du Jiaxi let out a deep breath, ¡°Hmm, Xiao He, I¡¯ll have to trouble you with this matter.¡±


    lie Yongtang shook his head, ¡°Old leader, it¡¯s not trouble for me, this is our duty!¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Du Jiaxi took a photo of the written article and sent it to He Yongtang. How could those old-timers type? His elegant brush handwriting was strong and forceful!


    lie Yongtang read it carefully after receiving it, and was deeply moved upon finishing.


    The old leader¡¯s writing grew stronger and stronger, the phrases coherent as if strands of pearls were skillfully threaded together, and every word and sentence moved the reader deeply, resonating with thousands!


    The words captured the spirit of a generation of young doctors!


    They highlighted the belief in lifesaving and the equality of all before life.


    They depicted the medical ethics and integrity that fears not the powerful and remains uncorrupted!


    Yet such a person was now facing the peril of punishment!


    The article did not include many derogatory statements about Song Qiang, but each line subtly pointed out the current decay!


    It described the hospital¡¯s corrupt practices of queue jumping!


    It called out the excessive use of power by certain leaders!


    He Yongtang could already imagine what kind of social response this article would provoke once published!


    The newspaper industry was in decline!


    But within the industry, there were still a group of loyal fans, a batch of faithful customers!


    He Yongtang picked up the phone, ready to have the article typed out and edited into the newspaper¡¯s layout, but then he had a better idea!


    That was to attach the photo of the original handwritten copy directly, after all, Old Du¡¯s calligraphy was sharp and compelling¡ªone of the most forceful of the nineties!


    This time, he would use Old Du¡¯s powerful strokes to strike again at the person named Song Qiang!


    Everything was fermenting.


    And Chen Cang was sleeping.


    During that time, Qin Yue and others made several calls, but Chen Cang did not answer any of them.


    When he woke up, it was already afternoon.


    Instantly, Chen Cang became alert and discovered a bunch of missed calls and messages on his phone.


    Upon a closer look, he was instantly stunned.


    Song Qiang really can, huh?


    Another criticism, truly impressive.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang casually laughed it off.


    Business as usual, he got up, washed up, and went downstairs to eat.


    Just as he came down, he saw a woman entering through the door, and they exchanged smiles and greetings.


    Chen Cang knew there were three tenants in the house, all rooms occupied. He lived by himself on the second floor, and there were two tenants on the first floor, but they rarely saw each other since Chen Cang went to work early in the day and often came back late at night from surgeries. On Saturdays and Sundays, he was at Zhang Zhixin¡¯s place, so he hadn¡¯t built a good rapport with the neighbors.


    Chen Cang took the initiative to smile and say, ¡°Hello, 1 live upstairs. I¡¯ve just moved in not long ago. My name is Chen Cang.¡±


    The woman smiled and nodded, ¡°Yes, hello, I¡¯m Shen Mo, I¡¯m usually busy with work and we haven¡¯t seen much of each other. I¡¯m glad to meet you.¡±


    The woman was dressed simply and elegantly, and in terms of looks, fairly average¡ªor as Zhang Zhixin would say, ¡°with plenty of room for improvement.¡±


    But she seemed quite enthusiastic and appeared to be easy to get along with, so Chen Cang smiled.


    The next day, Song Qiang walked into the office as usual. The administrative staff wasn¡¯t required to be punctual at 8 a.m., and Song Qiang typically arrived around 8:30 but before 9 a.m. By the time he got there, there was already brewed tea and the latest newspaper on his desk.


    Actually, the main sales of newspapers are still within enterprises and administrative agencies, and all the newspapers that should be subscribed to are never missing.


    Anyang Daily, as an old and reputable newspaper enterprise in Anyang City, still stands firm and its survival cannot be separated from many factors.


    Anyang Daily publishes both a morning and an evening edition, twice a day, and at that moment both were laid out in front of him.


    Casually flipping through to find something of interest, checking out the situation in Anyang City, suddenly a piece of news caught his eye.


    It was a page printed with a black-and-white photo and flamboyant, elegant calligraphy, which even Song Qiang couldn¡¯t help looking at.


    The name was also captivating!


    ¡°Healthcare, to heal others, one must first heal oneself!¡±


    Song Qiang muttered to himself, another medical-themed article? Curiosity suddenly piqued.


    However, Song Qiang quickly became perplexed as he read it!


    The more he read, the more dumbfounded he became, the more startled!


    This was clearly a depiction of his own queue-jumping incident from the previous night!


    And it was sensationalized, touching on people¡¯s emotions, making readers feel outraged at first glance!


    Such writing was profound, and these medical incidents naturally attracted attention, easily engaging people since after all, who hasn¡¯t visited a hospital for treatment!


    Could the feeling of being cut in line ever be pleasant?


    Reading up to the point where Chen Cang was disciplined, Song Qiang suddenly became so angry that he slammed his hand on the desk!


    At that moment, he suddenly realized that he was in trouble, someone was targeting him!


    Could it be Chen Cang?


    Thinking this, Song Qiang was incredibly alarmed!

 Chapter 167 - Chapter 167: Chapter 168: Dean Fang Wants to See You! (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 167: Chapter 168: Dean Fang Wants to See You! (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Song Qiang saw the news!


    This meant that many people had seen the news, including the leaders of the Provincial Second Hospital they had basically all seen the news!


    Thinking this, Song Qiang¡¯s face changed, but he immediately calmed himself and took a deep breath.


    At this moment, the incident had already occurred, what needed to be done was to adapt to the situation and look for a strategy!


    But!


    The most critical thing was that the Anyang Daily News was an official media outlet, which meant that this might represent the official view and opinion of the Anyang Daily News, which was terrifying.


    With this thought, Song Qiang tried hard to think, what exactly had he done to offend someone during this period?


    After much thought, the only person Song Qiang could think of was Chen Cang!


    After all, Song Qiang was usually very careful and cautious in his dealings with powerful and influential people, one could say he left no stone unturned.


    It had to be Chen Cang then!


    However, Song Qiang didn¡¯t believe that Chen Cang had such ability, and with that thought, he decided to contact the Anyang Daily News.


    Usually, as the head of the medical affairs department at the Provincial Second Hospital, Song Qiang had built up some connections; now was the time to make use of them. It didn¡¯t take long for him to find the person in charge of the content department of the Anyang Daily News.


    After getting through on the phone, Song Qiang introduced himself.


    ¡°Director, hello, I¡¯m Song Qiang, the head of the medical affairs department at the Provincial Second Hospital. The director of the TV station gave me your number,¡± said Song Qiang with a smile as he introduced himself.


    But upon hearing Song Qiang¡¯s self-introduction, the other party paused to reflect for a moment, then responded in an indifferent tone, ¡°Hello, may I ask what this is about?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Song Qiang instantly felt uneasy, as under normal circumstances, even if the other party was not very enthusiastic, they would definitely not speak in this tone, especially since he had mentioned the TV station¡¯s director Zhao.


    Song Qiang immediately had a bad premonition!


    ¡°Director, it¡¯s about the article published last night regarding our Provincial


    Second Hospital. Is there a possibility that some¡­¡±


    The other party, upon hearing this, interrupted Song Qiang directly, ¡°Hello, if you have any doubts about the information published in our newspaper or suspect that we have affected the reputation of your hospital, you can take the official route. We at Anyang Daily News will take a responsible approach towards our reporting and will address this seriously. Do you have any other matters?¡±


    Song Qiang was so angry he clenched his teeth; he never expected things to escalate to this extent!


    Any other matters?


    Not a damn one!


    Fuck!


    Bloody hell!


    After abruptly hanging up the phone, Song Qiang kicked the desk in front of him, scattering a pile of documents all over the floor!


    Song Qiang¡¯s face turned stormy, and he breathed rapidly.


    At that moment, a phone call came in, the voice on the other end was low and sounded unhappy, ¡°Song Qiang, come to meeting room 21 on the 21st floor.¡±


    When Song Qiang saw the words ¡°Deputy Director¡± on the caller ID, his eyelids started twitching!


    ¡°Alright, Director, I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Song Qiang felt that the only person who could resolve the situation now was Chen Cang.


    Although he didn¡¯t know how Chen Cang managed to do it, Song Qiang had to find him.


    This matter had indeed been too rash.


    He had underestimated Chen Cang!


    He thought he had been careful enough, but still¡­


    At this thought, Song Qiang took a few deep breaths and asked the staff outside, ¡°What¡¯s Chen Gang¡¯s phone number?¡±


    After dialing the number, Song Qiang immediately said, ¡°Chen Cang, this is


    Song Qiang.¡±


    ¡°Beep beep beep beep¡­¡±


    Song Qiang was startled and felt completely dumbfounded.


    Chen Cang, 1 fucking curse your grandfather.


    After hearing Song Qiang, Chen Cang immediately hung up the phone, as exchanging shifts was more important than chatting with Song Qiang.


    Li Baoshan thought everything was settled after the shift exchange, but Chen Bingsheng spoke directly, ¡°Director, yesterday the Medical Affairs Department issued two notices of censure against Chen Cang¡­ What do you think¡­¡±


    Li Baoshan was instantly stunned.


    He was not in the mood to care about these things every day, how would he know that Chen Cang had been disciplined?


    And Chen Cang was usually quite honest, wasn¡¯t he? What inappropriate things had he done?


    So after hearing this, Li Baoshan immediately became curious, ¡°What happened? Why was Chen Cang disciplined?¡±


    The people around suddenly became quiet.


    Chen Bingsheng took out his phone and passed it over, ¡°Director, take a look.¡± Li Baoshan frowned as he looked at it with a dark face, and his eyelid twitched upon finishing!


    Others might not be clear, but how could he not know what had happened?


    Chen Cang was abruptly pulled out of surgery the night before last.


    Qin Yue quickly said, ¡°Director, I came over to cover Chen Gang¡¯s shift that day, and¡­ before that, Yuan Fan was also here all the time. There was no absence in emergency!¡±


    Hearing this, Li Baoshan immediately asked, ¡°Why would Song Qiang do such a thing?¡±


    Several nurses on duty that day quickly said, ¡°Director, that night when Doctor Chen was on duty, several patients came¡­ At that time, Song Qiang wanted to let a wealthy woman cut in line, but Doctor Chen refused! Moreover, a commotion suddenly broke out later, making Song Qiang appear very embarrassed.¡±


    Li Baoshan immediately understood, so that was what happened!


    Everyone looked at Chen Cang, but Chen Cang stood there calmly; he knew he was not at fault. If Song Qiang really insisted on making Chen Cang out to be wrong, and the hospital didn¡¯t maintain a fair stance, Chen Cang would resign on the spot.


    What¡¯s the point of staying at such a place?


    Li Baoshan¡¯s gaze shifted as he spoke, ¡°Alright, everyone get back to work. Chen Cang, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll make sure you get an explanation today!¡±


    After speaking, Li Baoshan turned and left!


    Yuan Fan watched Chen Gang¡¯s indifferent expression and wondered, could Chen Cang really not be afraid?


    That¡¯s being too calm, isn¡¯t it?


    Seeing how Li Baoshan was protecting Chen Cang, Yuan Fan felt annoyed.


    But the discipline had already been imposed; even if Li Baoshan was powerful, he wouldn¡¯t be able to change it.


    Did he really think Song Qiang was a pushover that anyone could handle?


    At this thought, Yuan Fan felt a schadenfreude delight.


    Yet seeing Chen Gang¡¯s indifferent attitude, Yuan Fan couldn¡¯t help but let out a sneer: Poseur!


    Let¡¯s see how long you can keep it up!


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly received a call, ¡°Chen Cang, come to General Surgery, Director Fang wants to see you.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Director Fang?¡±


    Zhang Youfu nodded, ¡°Yes, Director Fang asked for you after waking up from the surgery the day before yesterday, but we declined all visitors because he just had surgery. Just now he was allowed, and he insists on seeing you, come over.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Alright, Director Zhang, I¡¯m coming over immediately!¡± Zhang Youfu nodded again, ¡°He¡¯s in bed 12, you can come in directly when you arrive.¡±


    Chen Cang hung up the phone, greeted Wang Yong, and got up to head towards General Surgery.

    Chapter 170: Chapter 171: Saving the Child! (7th Update ¨C Request for Monthly Votes)


    The time for shift change was almost upon them, and as Li Baoshan entered, everyone fell silent.


    Li Baoshan looked at the crowd, especially glanced at Chen Cang, and nodded, ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to worry about Chen Cang anymore. Let¡¯s focus on our work. However, this incident should serve as a wake-up call for us.¡±


    ¡°It shows that there are still some issues with our duty system, such as a lack of effective communication and coordination among colleagues, and so on¡­¡±


    ¡°These are the areas we need to improve.¡±


    Everyone nodded in agreement. Yuan Fan also breathed a sigh of relief at this point; thankfully, it had nothing to do with him.


    Just then, Li Baoshan suddenly said, ¡°Yuan Fan.¡±


    Yuan Fan shuddered and quickly stood up, ¡°Director!¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Starting today, you¡¯ll go to the physical examination center. The hospital¡¯s physical examination center is temporarily short-staffed; you¡¯ll go help out there.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yuan Fan was dumbstruck¡­


    The physical examination center¡­


    The physical examination center at the Provincial Second Hospital was a leisurely post, busy for only a few months in a year, meaning one wouldn¡¯t earn much within a year, and more importantly, there was no future prospects ¨C it was one of those dead-end jobs where everyone could foresee their post-graduation life on the first day of work.


    Those who ended up there were either being disciplined, didn¡¯t want to work hard, or were nurses who had transferred over.


    After all, the physical examination center at Provincial Second Hospital¡­ was really subpar!


    A graduate master in surgery like me going to the physical examination center¡­


    Yuan Fan felt a sudden chill in his heart!


    He had thought he could avoid it. Who had exposed him?


    At that thought, Yuan Fan¡¯s heart was in turmoil, filled with fearful uncertainty.


    Was it finally time for the reckoning after autumn?


    He glanced at Chen Cang, blaming him. Are you satisfied now?


    At this thought, Yuan Fan couldn¡¯t bear to lift his head, feeling utterly humiliated!


    Yet, after a while, he slowly raised his head and suddenly realized that no one was paying attention to him¡­


    He abruptly noticed that not a single person was concerned about him, not even a sigh in response to the news regrettably, there was none!


    No one even bothered to look up when they heard the news, as if there was no such person as Yuan Fan.


    Suddenly, Yuan Fan felt that his departure might not be such a bad thing after all. He saw how poorly he had navigated social interactions and felt instantly disheartened¡­ It was just as well to leave! After all, he didn¡¯t belong here.


    Yuan Fan¡¯s departure didn¡¯t cause any ripple in the department, nor did it make it busier by virtue of one fewer person.


    On the contrary, all work carried on smoothly, as if no one was feeling sentimental or anything of the sort over Yuan Fan¡¯s departure.


    Everyone went about their business as usual, doing what they had to do.


    An Yanjun hurried into the office, ¡°Director, the equipment for the hand surgery has arrived; we can start performing surgeries in the hand surgery department very soon!¡±


    Upon saying this, An Yanjun was somewhat excited, finally able to realize his grand ambitions.


    After all, the most he usually did was stitches and trauma treatment, and for a hand surgeon like him not to have a decent operating room was indeed an awkward situation. Today, all the equipment for the operating room had finally arrived!


    Upon hearing this, Li Baoshan instantly became joyful as well!


    Smiling at Chen Cang, he said, ¡°Chen Cang, you¡¯ve been helping Director An a lot recently. You¡¯ve managed to establish a good reputation for our orthopedic surgery department. You¡¯ve even extended your help to the provincial people¡¯s hospital. Now that we have an operating room, you better stick close to it and not run off anymore!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I guarantee to complete the mission!¡±


    What Li Baoshan actually worried about was not anything else but the possibility of Chen Cang being poached. After all, there were quite a few people eyeing him covetously. The news of Fang Yonglin¡¯s successful surgery had not yet spread. If the news got out, who knows how many people would want to have a chat with Chen Cang about life, discuss ideals, and future plans!


    In the last few days, the number of emergency surgeries had gradually increased, keeping Chen Cang and Wang Yong constantly busy.


    A little after three in the afternoon, just as Chen Cang had returned from the operating room, a middle-aged man came rushing in, carrying a child in his arms!


    ¡°Doctor, save my child!¡±


    ¡°Doctor, please save my child!¡±


    Chen Cang heard the cries from afar and hurried over!


    Nurse Chang Lina also quickly went to meet them, ¡°What happened, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The middle-aged man¡¯s face was pale with anxiety, and his eyes were full of pleading, ¡°My child shoved an eraser up their nose and now it won¡¯t come out. They started coughing intensely after inserting it. 1 picked them up and ran here, but now the child seems to be suffocating¡­ Doctor, you must save my child!¡±


    As the man spoke, tears began to pour down his face.


    The man wasn¡¯t very old, around his early thirties, and the child appeared to be just three or four years old!


    [Ding! Mission triggered: Save the child. Upon completion, reward: 2 skill points!]


    Chen Cang suddenly heard the system prompt, but had no time to pay attention to it.


    Exactly as the man described, it must be a foreign body causing an obstruction in the airway.


    This situation could be minor or serious. Usually, if the foreign object is small, it might just cause inflammation, but if left untreated for too long, it can lead to suffocation and even endanger life!


    The little girl was only about three years old, at the age when children start attending kindergarten.


    With this in mind, Chen Cang quickly got up, carrying the child as he ran towards the endoscopy room!


    ¡°Come with me to the endoscopy room to see if we can remove the foreign object with the scope!¡±


    The man was stunned for a moment, but then quickly followed Chen Cang toward the endoscopy room!


    If Chen Cang had let the man carry the child at this time, he might have caused the foreign object to go deeper inadvertently, which would complicate matters¡­


    Because children¡¯s airways are already narrow, and an eraser is not small. If the eraser was near the top, it could be removed with bronchoscopic forceps.


    But now, after carrying the child this long with all the jolting, Chen Cang was worried that the foreign object had moved further down, in which case the bronchoscope wouldn¡¯t be able to remove it!


    With every passing second, they were racing against the Grim Reaper!


    Chen Gang¡¯s speed was already very fast!


    Upon arriving at the door of the endoscopy room, Chen Cang said to the nurse, ¡°Hurry and open the door. We have a child suffocating here, we need to check with the bronchoscope and remove the foreign object!¡±


    The nurse, taken aback, quickly opened the door to the endoscopy room. Chen Cang rushed in, and then said to the man, ¡°You stay out here for now!¡±


    The director of the endoscopy room was Xiao He, not very old, just in his early forties, and was a leader of the new generation!


    Seeing Chen Cang rush in with the child, his eyes narrowed. Without asking, he had a pretty good idea of the situation, ¡°This way!¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chen Cang hurriedly carried the child over!


    ¡°Director Xiao, this is an emergency case. The child was just brought in, they¡¯ve inhaled an eraser into their nose, and now their breathing is weak. I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t last long!¡±


    On hearing this, Xiao He immediately nodded, got up to start the machine, and said, ¡°Put the child here, let¡¯s see if we can get it out..¡±

    Chen Cang took the scalpel and began the procedure!


    1 he human body is the most precise and complex instrument, and the neck is a bridge within the body.


    1 here are many things there, but those most closely related to our daily lives are the trachea and esophagus.


    Interestingly, both the trachea and esophagus are directly connected to the pharynx above. During breathing, the airway to the trachea opens while swallowing, the food passage opens, and the airway closes to prevent errors. Therefore, when we perform nasogastric intubation or gastroscopy in clinical practice, we often need the patient to cooperate by swallowing to prevent the tube from mistakenly entering the trachea, causing choking and endangering life. I he common practice of not talking or laughing loudly while eating is also to prevent food from mistakenly entering the trachea and causing suffocation. Even when performing artificial respiration, one needs to lift the lower jaw and tilt back the neck to open the airway, facilitating the entry of air into the lungs during artificial respiration.


    The trachea is in front, the esophagus behind. Kids who have watched ¡®Saw¡¯ might remember a scene where a man, unable to breathe with a fishbowl over his head, used a pen to pierce his own trachea directly, opening the airway, thus preventing suffocation and death.


    So this tells us that we should have medical knowledge, because even if we¡¯re captured by Pighead, we wouldn¡¯t end up killing ourselves with a pen trying to open the airway¡­


    Of course, I don¡¯t recommend learning this, because the neck is the most dangerous place. It¡¯s not advisable to try this¡­


    The surgery slowly proceeded!


    Chen Cang started making an incision just below the cricoid cartilage, right up to the suprasternal notch in the middle, layer by layer peeling back his tissues.


    He cut through the subcutaneous tissue, slit through and separated the platysma muscle, and bluntly dissected along the incision direction until reaching the thyroid gland.


    He lifted the lower pole of the thyroid isthmus, exposing tracheal rings 2 to 4. Chen Cang took the forceps, bluntly cut through the pretracheal fascia to expose the trachea, and made a midline incision between the 2nd and 3rd rings; by then, the obstructing foreign body could be seen.


    Chen Gang¡¯s eyes caught sight of a red ¡°eraser¡± there!


    Chen Cang suddenly realized his eyes were stronger than any bronchoscope, CT, X-ray, or MRI.


    Of course, this was under the precondition that he had opened the skin and tissue to see inside, which was a limitation. He should probably send feedback to the system and see if his eyesight could be upgraded.


    Chen Cang made an incision below in the airway, and logically extracted the object!


    It was a piece of eraser covered in blood, now successfully removed.


    Next was suturing.


    This was the first time Chen Cang had performed a trachea suture, but in fact, the principles are all similar.


    The surgery was completed.


    The little girl¡¯s condition gradually improved, and her breathing became smoother.


    She should be able to wake up before long.


    Xiao He looked at Chen Cang, unable to resist giving a thumbs-up, ¡°Impressive, Dr. Chen! Your emergency skills are truly remarkable.¡±


    The surgery itself wasn¡¯t difficult; the only concern had been the possibility of intraoperative complications. Now that the patient was stable, Chen Cang naturally felt the tension easing.


    Hearing Xiao He praise him, Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°I just know a bit of emergency care; it¡¯s nothing to joke about, Director Xiao.¡±


    Xiao He chuckled, impressed with the young man.


    ¡°Dr. Chen, give me your phone number. In the future, our endoscopy room will surely need the emergency room¡¯s help often. With you there, I also have less running around to do,¡± Xiao He said to Chen Cang, not addressing him as ¡°Little Chen¡± but as ¡°Dr. Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, exchanged contact information, and pushed the little girl out of the endoscopy room.


    After coming out, Xu Liang and his wife were already anxiously waiting and quickly approached.


    ¡°Dr. Chen, is everything all right?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Everything¡¯s fine; the surgery went smoothly, and she should wake up in a bit, but she¡¯ll stay in the emergency room today to be observed.¡±


    Xu Liang kept nodding, feeling like he had been redeemed now that his child was out of danger!


    The woman stopped crying, running back and forth nervously.


    After returning to the emergency room, Chen Cang asked the man to settle the fees and asked the duty nurse to clear the expenses with the endoscopy room.


    Emergency room charges were always more complicated, and the nurse¡¯s job in the emergency room was more cumbersome than in regular departments since it involved dealing with multiple departments, leading to more intricate financial entanglements.


    About an hour later, Xu Liang rushed in, ¡°Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen, Sweetie¡¯s awake!¡±


    (Ding! Mission accomplished, saved the little girl with a foreign body airway obstruction, reward: Skill points +2!]


    He begrudgingly accepted the two skill points, muttering to himself: Lost a point¡­


    But skills were permanent, and emergency skills like these were essential. Besides, even without a reward, who would just stand by and not save a dying child?


    Who would leave a little girl hanging there for twelve hours?


    Not something Chen Cang could do!


    Chen Cang smiled, stood up, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go see the child.¡±


    Xu Liang smiled eagerly and led the way.


    Inside the observation room, the little girl¡¯s face and lips were ruddy and lustrous, and she had a smile on her face. Upon seeing Chen Cang, she tried to speak, ¡°Uncle¡­ cough, cough!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and walked to the bedside, ¡°Don¡¯t talk these next few days, your throat might hurt. You can¡¯t stuff things into your nose or mouth in the¡¯ future, got it?¡±


    Chen Cang patted the little girl¡¯s head, rubbing her soft hair, and in that moment he suddenly felt that spending a few extra skill points was all worth it.


    1 he little girl, upon hearing Chen Gang¡¯s prohibition from speaking, quickly covered her mouth with her little hand, her big eyes earnestly looking at Chen Cang as she nodded vigorously.


    This caused everyone present to burst into hearty laughter.


    Chen Cang looked at the adorable little girl.


    This must be the sense of accomplishment in medicine, right?


    When you see each critical life pulled back from the brink by your hands, the sense of achievement is unparalleled.


    The happiness of a bird is to have the sky.


    The happiness of a fish is to have the ocean.


    And the happiness of a doctor is to have no patients.


    Chen Cang remembered a saying: ¡°I¡¯d rather have dust on my medicine cabinet than see the world¡¯s people ill; if everyone in the world were happy, I could do without this system.¡±


    1 he little girl, staring at Chen Cang, suddenly stood up, walked slowly over, hugged Chen Gang¡¯s head, and whispered in his ear, ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re so handsome. When Sweetie grows up, can I marry you?¡±


    That sentence left Chen Cang astonished.


    Is it that obvious I¡¯m single?


    Even a three-year-old girl can tell I¡¯m single!


    1 hinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel a mix of amusement and resignation.


    Chen Cang whispered in response, ¡°Why¡¯s that?¡±


    ¡®I he little girl, with an innocent face and sparkling big eyes, looked intently at Chen Cang, took a step back, stood on the bed, and performed a sincere curtsy, saying word by word, ¡°To repay the life-saving grace, this little girl has nothing to offer in return but to pledge herself to you!¡±


    Chen Cang almost burst out laughing at her earnestness!


    The patients around, including Xu Liang and the child¡¯s mother, all burst into uproarious laughter.


    Children these days, so clever and adorable!


    Chen Cang stood up, patted the child¡¯s head, ¡°Uncle will wait for you!¡±

 Chapter 174 - Chapter 174: Chapter 175: Dont Tear Us Apart (Pleading for Monthly Tickets)

    Chapter 174: Chapter 175: Don¡¯t Tear Us Apart (Pleading for Monthly Tickets)


    The observation room was dead still, but the addition of Tiantian could be said to have brought a bit more vitality to the hospital.


    Everyone liked to tease the child.


    Unfortunately, without Chen Cang speaking, Tiantian firmly covered her mouth with her hand and kept silent.


    Xu Liang, seeing his daughter was all right now, felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off his heart and was filled with relief.


    His wife also felt at ease enough to reproach him, looking at Xu Liang, ¡°Let¡¯s see if you take child care seriously from now on!¡±


    Xu Liang, with righteous indignation, picked up his phone, looked at his daughter, and said, ¡°Tiantian, Daddy swears never to play games again, I¡¯ll play with you every day!¡±


    After saying this, he picked up his phone and decisively uninstalled the game.


    Chen Cang sighed¡ªthe game could be reinstalled if removed, but a lost child could not be brought back.


    There had been too many incidents in the emergency room due to men watching children!


    Truth be told, men are truly irresponsible with children. Just last year, a little boy ate all of his mother¡¯s lipstick after breaking it.


    The child ended up fine, but that man was quite miserable, so they say.


    There¡¯s a saying online that a father¡¯s child care at most guarantees the child stays alive, but it seems now this statement is up for debate!


    Seeing the child was fine, Chen Cang felt relieved and left the ward.


    As soon as he walked out the door, Xu Liang and his wife pulled Chen Cang to the corner of the stairway.


    Chen Cang was taken aback¡ªis this an attempted abduction?


    But¡­ both of them together?


    Considering what the little girl said before, Chen Cang immediately understood ¡ªit wasn¡¯t about money or abduction!


    It was¡­


    An elopement?!


    Xu Liang took out a stack of money from his pocket and tried to stuff it into Chen Cang¡¯s pocket!


    Chen Cang quickly stepped back, immediately refusing.


    Xu Liang, with a serious and grateful expression, said, ¡°Doctor Chen, this is my way of showing gratitude. You saved my child, I¡¯m endlessly thankful. This is just a small token of appreciation. If you don¡¯t accept it, I really won¡¯t be able to forgive myself!¡±


    The woman by his side also said, ¡°Doctor Chen, you must accept it! You¡¯re our family¡¯s savior, we don¡¯t even know what to say or what you like, so please buy something for yourself.¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, looked at the two, ¡°Actually, this money, if you give it to me, I¡¯d have to go and pay your bills with it. I¡¯m quite busy and don¡¯t have the time to do that, so you¡¯d better keep it.¡±


    ¡°This is a hallway, and people are always coming and going. Let¡¯s not cause a scene that would make things awkward later.¡±


    After Chen Cang finished speaking, he stood up and left.


    Leaving the couple to look at each other in bewilderment.


    [Ding! The task of Medical Ethics and Professionalism is triggered, refusing to accept the red envelope, earning +1 Skill Point!]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    What the heck?


    This works too!


    He had scored a big win!


    For Chen Cang, skill points were far more precious than money.


    It seemed that Mr. Room had given him an impressive task¡ªthis was a top-tier NPC, a real big shot. Thinking this, Chen Cang felt that he would undoubtedly go further and further on the path of saving lives, offering help, and upholding justice!


    Tiantian was supposed to be discharged that day, but she just didn¡¯t want to go. No matter what anyone said, she wanted to stay in the hospital for a few more days. After discussing it, Xu Liang and his wife decided to stay for a few more days, at least for peace of mind.


    So, like that, the emergency room saw the addition of a little girl who brought a pink lunchbox every day, and Chen Cang found himself with a little wifey who delivered his meals.


    Every day at mealtime, Tiantian would bring over a small Peppa Pig pink lunch box to Chen Cang, urging him to eat.


    If Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t eat, she simply wouldn¡¯t leave, so he had no choice but to eat.


    Little Tiantian stood there, the picture of domesticity, and once Chen Cang had finished eating, she would grab the lunch box and run off with a smile.


    Thus, the emergency room¡¯s routine was brightened by the presence of this little girl, acting like a lubricant to the tension and anxiety, putting more smiles on everyone¡¯s faces.


    As soon as Tiantian entered the doctors¡¯ office, everyone would tease, ¡°Chen Cang, your little wifey has brought you lunch!¡±


    Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile.


    But Tiantian, her face beaming with happiness, seemed even more thrilled than if she had eaten honey.


    This time, after Chen Cang had finished eating, Tiantian climbed onto a chair nearby, took a tissue from her pocket, and carefully wiped Chen Cang¡¯s mouth. The sight set off a round of playful jeers from everyone!


    And she wiped thoroughly, very carefully, once done, Tiantian tilted her head and pointed at her own cheek at Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang laughed heartily, picked her up, and planted a kiss on her cheek!


    Truth be told, he really had grown to like this little girl, she was so adorable!


    Tiantian¡¯s cheeks instantly flushed red.


    Seeing Tiantian so endearing, Wang Qian couldn¡¯t hold back either, hurrying over to hug the child, ¡°Tiantian, Uncle wants a kiss too!¡±


    Tiantian¡¯s expression changed, and she took off running!


    After bolting out and seeing that no one was chasing her, she circled back, crept stealthily into the room once she saw Wang Qian wasn¡¯t there, grabbed her lunchbox, and scampered away.


    This made everyone burst into laughter.


    Even the nurses doing the dressings in the emergency room would have to call Tiantian ¡°Chen Cang¡¯s little wifey¡± instead of her name to get her to obediently show her wound with a smile, just like the lady of the house would.


    Two days later, it was time for Tiantian to be discharged. After Xu Liang completed the procedures, he was ready to take Tiantian home.


    When Tiantian learned her parents were taking her away, she cried her heart out, refusing to be pulled away, and kept saying, ¡°Mommy, mommy, don¡¯t tear us apart¡­ I will only marry Uncle Chen Cang.¡±


    Her words were heart-wrenching, loaded with deep emotion and affection!


    Everyone present didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry.


    Xu Liang also gave an embarrassed chuckle and looked at his wife, ¡°Honey, why do I feel like we¡¯ve become the villains from a TV show? Tearing apart true lovers, huh?¡±


    Xu Tiantian stopped crying, nodded, and said, ¡°Exactly¡­ Daddy, can you please not be a bad guy? Don¡¯t tear us apart¡­¡±


    However, Xu Tiantian¡¯s resistance was futile, and in the end, she was taken away.


    Chen Cang watched the little girl leave with a smile, finding her truly adorable!


    At that moment, Qin Yue suddenly popped up from behind, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Can¡¯t bear to let her go?¡±


    Chen Cang instantly smiled, ¡°What¡¯s there to miss?¡±


    Qin Yue laughed, ¡°What¡¯s there to miss? You say it so easily, but she might just be the only girl who¡¯s ever been deeply affectionate towards you in the 27 years you¡¯ve lived. Aren¡¯t you going to cherish that? All¡­ people talk about being naive, but once Tiantian grows up and looks back on this, she¡¯ll surely have regrets!¡±


    Chen Cang scoffed, ¡°Right, how about that boyfriend of yours you went to the movies with? How¡¯s that going?¡±


    Qin Yue turned to glance at Chen Cang, ¡°None of your business!¡±


    After saying that, Qin Yue strode off.


    Wang Qian quietly moved closer, letting out a regretful sigh, ¡°Cang Er, your little wifey just left, and you¡¯re already hitting on Qin Yue? That¡¯s heartless, don¡¯t you think? Look at Tiantian, crying her eyes out when leaving, as if it were a life-or-death farewell, such deep and sincere emotions¡­ And look at you¡­ oh¡­ men are all heartbreakers!¡±


    After that, Wang Qian shook his head in disappointment and walked away.


    Leaving Chen Cang in a state of confusion.

    Chapter 175: Chapter 176: That¡¯s right! It¡¯s Chen Cang! (Seeking monthly votes&)


    Fang Yonglin¡¯s successful surgery spread quickly, instantly drawing many visitors.


    From the leaders of the health system to the dean of various hospitals, everyone wanted to visit Mr. Fang.


    After all, he was a well-known elder in An Yang City with considerable influence in the medical and health system.


    Considering this, the hospital sent the elderly man to the special ward on the 19th floor. The specifications of wards here were different from other departments; each room had two beds, one for the patient and the other for the family member, and each room had a private bathroom with a bath; next door was a sizable living room, just like a suite.


    Of course, the price was naturally not low!


    The special ward was mainly for retired officials and wealthy people, with an independent restaurant, chefs, and gym on the 19th floor, eliminating the need for patients to go downstairs.


    Fang Yonglin¡¯s room was naturally one of the best. Although the old man was not the most powerful, here at the Second Provincial Hospital, Fang Yonglin was a symbol.


    With the help of students like Qin Xiaoyuan, everyone hired a caretaker for Mr. Fang to assist with his daily activities.


    To put it bluntly, Mr. Fang¡¯s remaining years might be spent here.


    After all, he was too old and his health was poor; living in a nursing home definitely wasn¡¯t as comfortable as living in the hospital. Li Jianwei went back to Mr. Fang¡¯s house and brought back his books, decorating the entire ward just like home.


    In these days, Fang Yonglin¡¯s health gradually recovered, and the hospital even dared to allow him to receive visitors.


    Ordinary visitors would just sit, leave the items they brought, chat with Mr. Fang for a few sentences, and then leave.


    However, many were filled with curiosity about the person who performed Mr. Fang¡¯s surgery. Who exactly operated on Mr. Fang!?


    Especially the dean of various hospitals who participated in the consultations those days was even more curious.


    After all, they knew a bit about the old man¡¯s condition at the time; the success rate of the surgery was very low, but now seeing the old man¡¯s condition, how well he recovered, they were deeply shocked.


    After visiting the elderly man this time, people like Qian Liang and Liu Siqi did not rush to leave; instead, they sought out Li Jianwei, and everyone sat down to chat.


    ¡°Director Li, who performed the surgery on Mr. Fang this time? Did you bring in someone from outside?¡± Liu Siqi couldn¡¯t hold back and directly asked.


    Li Jianwei was slightly stunned and sighed, ¡°No, where could we invite someone from? Outsiders are even more reluctant to take such a risk. After you left that day, we decided to go ahead with the surgery, gritted our teeth, and let Director Zhang Youfu from surgery take on the operation!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slowly.


    Qian Liang said, ¡°Director Zhang is quite skilled. At only 45 years old, it seems he will be an excellent leader in hepatobiliary surgery in Dongyang Province in the future!¡±


    Qian Liang and Zhang Youfu both specialized in hepatobiliary fields and often interacted and communicated; they even felt a sense of mutual appreciation for each other.


    It was Qian Liang who introduced Zhang Youfu to Dongyang Province¡¯s Hepatobiliary Surgery Association, so the two had always gotten along very well.


    Even then, Qian Liang had invited Zhang Youfu to East University¡¯s First Hospital. After his retirement, Zhang Youfu would take over as director, but at that time, Zhang was only forty and went straight to general surgery at the Second Provincial Hospital.


    He had made quite a name for himself over the years.


    Liu Siqi also nodded slightly but still found it hard to believe: ¡°Did the surgery go smoothly?¡±


    Li Jianwei sighed, ¡°How could it! Mr. Fang¡¯s physical condition was very poor, including portal hypertension. Considering the difficulty of wound healing due to diabetes, we decided to go for laparoscopic surgery. But as soon as we looked with the scope, we were shocked!¡±


    The situation inside the abdomen was too dire; severe intestinal adhesions and the hepatic artery were tightly adherent to the gallbladder triangle and liver, making the surgery incredibly difficult!1¡®


    At this revelation, Liu Siqi and Qian Liang among others grew curious: ¡°Is there a video of the surgery?¡±


    Li Jianwei nodded: ¡°Yes, there is. However, I don¡¯t have a copy. Director Zhang does, let me give him a call to ask.¡±


    After receiving the call, Zhang Youfu arrived on the 19th floor with a USB drive in hand, greeted everyone, and plugged in the drive!


    Immediately, everyone saw the laparoscopic surgery footage.


    However, as soon as the footage appeared, everyone was stunned.


    The situation could not simply be described as bad. Seeing this, everyone slightly frowned, realizing how fortunate they were that the surgery had not been left to them-otherwise, it would have been challenging to ensure there were no complications during the surgery!


    Indeed, it did not take long for everyone to witness a problem that emerged while Zhang Youfu was separating the intestines!


    At that moment, everyone couldn¡¯t help but feel anxious!


    Danger!


    If the intestines were breached at this time, the difficulty and risk of the surgery would increase exponentially.


    Difficult!


    Just then, everyone suddenly noticed that someone had taken over the surgery!


    The intestinal suturing began!


    Moreover, the suturing was very tight, delicate, and smooth. The fundamental skills of laparoscopic intestinal suturing were truly impressive, prompting everyone present to marvel.


    However, their admiration might have been premature, because the images that followed were even more enlightening!


    As seconds ticked by, not a soul disrupted the silence; they all watched the surgery video quietly.


    Zhang Youfu was no exception. He had cut out the middle part, waiting for Chen Cang, making the surgery seem very smooth. Zhang Youfu had watched it several times already, yet was surprised every time!


    Especially during the separation of the hepatic artery, Chen Gang¡¯s decisive action to cut off the overlapping arterial sutures dazzled everyone!


    ¡°Beautiful!¡±


    ¡°Genius!¡±


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    With each exclamation, Zhang Youfu smiled. It seemed he was not the only one surprised.


    It had to be said, Chen Gang¡¯s idea at that time was nothing short of genius.


    Such a thought, who could come up with it?


    Even if someone did think of it, how many could achieve it!


    That rapid, precise suturing of the hepatic artery under the laparoscope was simply classic!


    For a moment, everyone was stunned.


    Once the surgery video ended, everyone remained silent for a long time, deeply impressed.


    At this point, Qian Liang suddenly asked, ¡°Who performed this surgery? It was incredible! Especially that approach to separating the hepatic artery, what a genius idea. I never would have thought of it!¡±


    Zhang Youfu smiled, ¡°Director Qian, you know him.¡±


    Qian Liang immediately frowned, ¡°I know him? Who is it? All the notable names in Dongyang Province¡¯s general surgery field are already here¡­ Could it be Director Li Baoshan?¡±


    Zhang Youfu shook his head, ¡°Director Li had something to attend to that day.


    The surgery was performed by Chen Cang!¡±


    Qian Liang was visibly shaken.


    ¡°Chen Cang?¡±


    Zhang Youfu nodded, ¡°Yes, it was Chen Cang!¡±


    PS: To those who said I left the previous chapter incomplete, touch your heart. Doesn¡¯t it hurt?

 Chapter 176 - Chapter 176: Chapter 177: Im at work... Isnt it inconvenient? (Seeking monthly pass)

    Chapter 176: Chapter 177: I¡¯m at work¡­ Isn¡¯t it inconvenient? (Seeking monthly pass)


    The moment Chen Gang¡¯s name was mentioned, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became eerily tense!


    Those few who knew Chen Cang held their breaths and exchanged glances!


    Their eyes were full of solemnity.


    Because if this liver artery separation technique were conceived by some senior doctor or chief physician, they might have accepted it, but with Chen Cang¡­ he was just too young!


    So young that it made everyone feel a certain pressure!


    A pressure akin to the new waves of the Yangtze River pushing the old ones ahead, and the pupil surpassing the master.


    Liu Siqi and Qian Liang had been Chen Gang¡¯s examiners during his practical exam, where he had performed an appendectomy. Although he had been very impressive, an appendectomy was, after all, just that, an appendectomy. No matter how praiseworthy, it could only show that you had a good surgical talent and aptitude.


    But now it was completely different.


    The surgery shown in the video was not something that could be successful just by talent and luck alone.


    Otherwise, people wouldn¡¯t hesitate to perform it.


    This was strength!


    And not just any strength, but a solid one!


    Though it is said that one should regard an acquaintance in a new light after three days¡¯ separation, it shouldn¡¯t result in looking through an eight-fold magnifying glass, should it?


    The disparity was just too great¡­


    Most of those around were not familiar with Chen Cang, and only a few knew of him.


    ¡°Who is Chen Cang?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know him!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of him either!¡±


    ¡°Director Zhang, Chen Cang¡­ who is he? Which hospital is he from?¡±


    Finally, someone couldn¡¯t help but ask!


    Zhang Youfu smiled, ¡°He is a young doctor at our hospital.¡±


    Hearing this, some people snickered. You, Zhang Youfu, could have just not mentioned it at all, calling him a ¡®young doctor¡¯, yet his surgery is even better than yours!


    After watching the surgical video, the chiefs of surgery were left wanting more and wished they could return to their hospitals to practice, as their hands were itching to do so.


    These chiefs rarely had an opportunity to come together, and with the business of their hospitals waiting, they didn¡¯t stay long and soon were departing one after another.


    However, a few people stayed behind, namely those familiar with Chen Cang,


    Qian Liang and Liu Siqi.


    Unable to hold back, Qian Liang asked, ¡°Director Zhang, this surgery¡­ it was really performed by Chen Cang?¡±


    Zhang Youfu nodded earnestly, still somewhat shaken as he recalled the surgery, ¡°Yes! To tell the truth, at that moment when I was delicately separating the intestines and encountered an adhesion problem, it became impossible to proceed. We then contacted Director Li Baoshan, but he wouldn¡¯t be able to return in time. However, he told us we could call Chen Cang!


    ¡°After Chen Cang arrived, I was already exhausted from handling the intestines to prevent leakage, my hands were even trembling. If it wasn¡¯t for Chen Cang that day¡­ it would have likely been more bad luck than good. I still wake up from nightmares about it!¡±


    After Zhang Youfu finished speaking, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply.


    Seeing his reaction, everyone more or less believed him; Zhang Youfu had no reason to joke about such a matter.


    After a brief chat about the details of the surgery, they were ready to leave. Just as they were departing, Liu Siqi suddenly turned around, ¡°Director Zhang, is it possible to get a copy of this surgical video?¡±


    Zhang Youfu apologized with a smile, ¡°Not at the moment. 1 will send a copy to you, Director Liu, after some time.¡±


    Liu Siqi nodded. These surgical videos were valuable educational resources, and great ones could even be submitted for awards, so he didn¡¯t insist further.


    In the afternoon, Qin Xiaoyuan received a call in his office from Guan Wei, the director of the Graduate Office at Dongyang Medical University.


    ¡°Director Qin, hello, I¡¯m Guan Wei.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan smiled, ¡°Hello, Director Guan.¡±


    Guan Wei got straight to the point, ¡°It¡¯s like this, after much effort in application, the quota for graduate students has been approved.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s eyes immediately lit up!


    What great news this was.


    ¡°Oh? That¡­ won¡¯t cause any problems? They can keep up with the 19th class of graduate students, right?¡±


    Guan Wei smiled, ¡°No problem. Our medical field is quite special because of the higher number of students with equivalent degrees and those who follow the master-apprentice tradition. In recent years, the state has also been encouraging the cultivation of special talents, so it was approved. You should get Chen Cang to come over soon, get everything that needs to be prepared ready, and after he comes I will explain everything in detail.¡±


    When Qin Xiaoyuan heard the news, he immediately became very happy.


    To tell the truth, after making that bold promise to Chen Cang, Qin Xiaoyuan visited Dongyang Medical University only to find out that after the completion of this year¡¯s interviews, all sorts of lists had been published and information had been entered into their system.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was thinking of taking the route of recommended exemption for Chen Cang, which would be more convenient, but it turned out to be too late. Afterwards, Qin Xiaoyuan went through a lot of trouble finding various people, and after a lot of back and forth, today there was finally a result.


    With this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help feeling ecstatic.


    ¡°Then for Chen Gang¡¯s matter¡­ I¡¯m really grateful to Director Guan, and you should take the opportunity to visit the Provincial Second Hospital sometime,¡± Qin Xiaoyuan said.


    After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly felt overjoyed.


    Thinking over and over, he decided to call Chen Cang, saying triumphantly, ¡°Chen Cang, come to my office.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, ¡°Director Qin¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m at work, isn¡¯t it not very good to leave my post during working hours? Is this¡­ appropriate? What if, and I mean if, someone from the medical affairs department takes notice, wouldn¡¯t that be bad? I¡¯ve just been disciplined¡­ How about I come up after work, how about that?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt as if he was getting slapped in slow motion on both cheeks, replayed on the right and then the left¡­


    This kid is definitely trying to annoy me.


    Was it just because I didn¡¯t pay attention to his matter a few days ago?


    Why are you so petty, man?


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help getting angry, ¡°Fine, you don¡¯t have to come up, but if you miss the start of the new graduate students this year, I won¡¯t be responsible.¡±


    After finishing, Qin Xiaoyuan hung up the phone, and thinking of Chen Cang s insidious tone just now, he couldn¡¯t help being irked.


    This kid, seriously¡­ immature!


    Exactly!


    Completely immature.


    When Chen Cang heard about the graduate program starting, he was instantly dumbstruck. Damn, Director Qin is so capable, did he really manage it for me?


    With this in mind, Chen Cang made some quick arrangements and hurriedly dashed towards the administrative building.


    It was only when he arrived downstairs that he realized he didn¡¯t know where the director¡¯s office was¡­


    I¡¯ll go up and ask!


    However, once Chen Cang reached the 20th floor, he encountered a serious problem: the corridors had electronic locks, and only with a card could one get in, which rendered him helpless at that moment.


    Knock on the door?


    Don¡¯t worry, no one¡¯s going to pay attention to you.


    Ah, truly a case of ¡¯Behind vermilion gates, meat and wine go to waste¡¯: they have electronic locks on the doors of the administrative building; the staff inside carry keys and can enter, while outsiders or typical troublemakers can¡¯t get in. Meanwhile, emergency is where my home¡¯s big door¡¯s always open.


    The life and health of administrative workers are too important, it seems¡­ as for us in emergency¡­


    Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help muttering a few complaints under his breath.


    Since Chen Cang couldn¡¯t get in and no one came to open the door for him, he could only call Qin Xiaoyuan, ¡°Director Qin, I¡¯m at the door¡­ but I can¡¯t get in. ps: Today I came back late, so 1 didn¡¯t post, apologies for the late update..

 Chapter 177 - Chapter 177: Chapter 178: Liver Transplant (Please Subscribe)

    Chapter 177: Chapter 178: Liver Transplant (Please Subscribe)


    After walking out of the dean¡¯s office, Chen Cang was clearly feeling quite pleased with himself¡ªhe was about to enroll in graduate studies!


    The thought made Chen Cang swell with excitement and exhilaration.


    In fact, attending graduate school wouldn¡¯t interfere with Chen Cang¡¯s work at all.


    Medical graduate students were mainly divided into professional master¡¯s and academic master¡¯s programs (research-based), with professional master¡¯s students spending almost all their time in clinics during their studies, in accordance with the national standardized training programs and aiming for an integrated certification upon graduation (graduate diploma, master¡¯s degree certificate, medical practitioner license, standardized training certificate).


    Only by obtaining these four credentials would it be relatively easier for you to find a job.


    This year, the Second Provincial Hospital also became a national standardized training hospital, so Chen Cang could completely carry on working in the department under the banner of standardized training.


    Qin Yue had done the same, but¡­ Qin Yue¡¯s life was tough; at the time of her studies, the professional master¡¯s standardized training certificate hadn¡¯t been widely implemented, so after arriving at the Second Provincial Hospital, she had no choice but to register for the standardized training quota at the East University First Hospital to work there, which meant less money from the hospital, as if she were on standardized training.


    After all, nowadays, without a standardized training certificate, you simply couldn¡¯t advance to a mid-level professional title.


    Chen Cang suddenly realized a problem: If he started graduate studies, wouldn¡¯t the hospital withhold his bonus?


    That¡¯s what happened to Qin Yue!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang hastily turned back, giving a sheepish smile, ¡°Director Qin, there¡¯s something else I want to ask.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan put down his pen and looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Hmm, what is it?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°If I start graduate school, will my salary and bonuses be withheld?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, looking at Chen Cang. He¡¯d bet that if he said it would be withheld, Chen Cang would surely decide not to proceed with school!


    The hard-earned enrollment slot would go to waste!


    Besides, Chen Cang had already secured a post at the Second Provincial Hospital; graduate school was just icing on the cake. Sometimes, education truly served just as a door opener.


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan helplessly said, ¡°No, your bonuses won¡¯t be withheld. Just carry on with your normal work; I¡¯ve already talked to the school about your situation. You just need to complete the required credits, don¡¯t worry about anything else. However, try to attend classes whenever you can, especially Medical Statistics and Evidence-Based Medicine¡ªas they will be really helpful for your future development.¡±


    Upon hearing that his money wouldn¡¯t be withheld, Chen Cang instantly became happy, ¡°Thank you, Director.¡±


    One area where Chen Cang differed from Qin Yue was that Chen Cang¡¯s standardized training hospital was at the Second Provincial Hospital; he did not need to shuttle back and forth to other hospitals, which spared him a lot of trouble.


    When Chen Cang returned to his department, Qin Yue came scampering over excitedly, ¡°Chen Cang, treat me to a meal!¡±


    Without even looking up, Chen Cang retorted, ¡°Dream on.¡±


    Unfazed, Qin Yue¡¯s eyes twinkled playfully, ¡°Are you sure? I¡¯ll give you one more chance! Just one, okay?¡±


    Chen Cang ignored Qin Yue and turned to Wang Yong, ¡°What should we have for lunch?¡±


    While writing up medical records, Wang Yong didn¡¯t even lift his head, ¡°As long as you¡¯re buying, anything works for me.¡±


    Chen Cang,


    Suddenly, Chen Cang felt that eating alone was the most cost-effective option; he could just have a set meal in the cafeteria, ten yuan for one meat and two veg dishes with two liang of rice, a delightfully frugal choice. Remembering how the cafeteria lady always scooped him an extra helping of meat, Chen Cang suddenly felt that happiness could be so simple.


    Qin Yue let out a sigh, ¡°Ah¡­ it looks like I need to call the journal office and tell them 1 need to change the corresponding author!¡±


    Chen Cang quickly turned around, ¡°What did you say? The acceptance notice has arrived? That was quick, wasn¡¯t it supposed to take at least half a month?¡±


    Qin Yue groaned and slumped in her chair, ¡°Ah, all the late nights and overtime recently have left me feeling completely drained.¡±


    Chen Cang immediately became as obsequious as a flower, smiling like a fawning dog, ¡°Sis Qin, what would you like to eat? Let¡¯s go get something nice!¡±


    Qin Yue pretended not to hear, ¡°Ah¡­ 1 heard there¡¯s a new Haidilao opened on Tian Street, it shouldn¡¯t be too crowded at noon, right?¡±


    Upon hearing there was a feast to be had, Wang Yong couldn¡¯t care less about writing medical records, ¡°Hmm, 1 heard it just opened.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but twitch his mouth, ¡°Eat! It¡¯s just Haidilao, let¡¯s go eat!¡±


    Seeing this, Wang Qian chimed in gloomily, ¡°Qin Yue, should I carry your bag for you?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°That would be great, Qian¡¯er bro is so considerate!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eye twitched, ¡°Eat! Eat! Eat! Just hurry up and show me the acceptance notice.¡±


    The paper Chen Cang had been obsessing over was finally coming out, and this matter was linked to the task of apprenticing under Qian Liang!


    In fact, after returning, Chen Cang had worked hard on researching and had even tried sending out a few papers, ranging from high-impact factor journals to core periodicals and then to general publications. And believe it or not, he actually received a few acceptance notices.


    Getting the notices, Chen Cang was somewhat excited, after all, it was his academic achievements being recognized, how could he not be thrilled?


    But¡­ out of curiosity, Chen Cang asked around in his friend group and learned that those papers could be published simply by paying, with no technical content whatsoever.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang simply decided not to waste money anymore. A few thousand bucks for a paper, and maybe showing it to Qian Liang would only result in a couple of sarcastic remarks.


    Since then, Chen Cang decided to focus on properly researching how to write papers before submitting them.


    Chen Cang¡¯s college mates had finished their graduate studies, so they published papers more often and understood more about the process.


    At this point, Qin Yue picked up her phone and sent out the acceptance notice to several people.


    Honestly, Qin Yue had never expected that her teacher even knew people from ¡°Liver Transplantation¡± and could speed up the peer-review process.


    Usually, for this kind of international core journal, the review process requires a long queue and involves several stages like the first and second review, and just making revisions can take a month or two.


    However, after Qin Yue submitted her paper, she made a call to her teacher Xu Mo, and in no time, she received the acceptance notice, which was something she could have never anticipated!


    When Chen Cang saw the words ¡°liver transpl¡±, he was momentarily taken aback.


    Chen Cang made Qin Yue laugh with a single remark, ¡°¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯? Why not publish in ¡®The Lancet¡¯? Or¡­ ¡®Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery¡¯ could work too?¡±


    Wang Qian was torn between laughter and dismay, ¡°Cang Er, do you think ¡®The Lancet¡¯ is owned by your family? To publish just like that? In our Dongyang Province, those who¡¯ve published in ¡®The Lancet¡¯ probably don¡¯t even add up to three people. Are you joking?¡±


    ¡°Besides, do you even know what level of journal ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯ is? To compare it with ¡®Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery¡¯?¡±


    ¡°That journal, ¡®Liver Transplantation,¡¯ has an impact factor close to six or seven. At its peak, ¡®Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery¡¯ probably only scores around one, the gap between them isn¡¯t small at all.¡±


    ¡°So, by bringing this paper published in ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯ to my PhD application, if my scores pass, there¡¯s less than a 10% chance of getting rejected. ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯ has absolute clout in the field of hepatobiliary surgery!¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand.


    Wang Yong was even more befuddled, ¡°Is my name as the second author¡­ worth something?¡±


    Wang Qian nodded, ¡°Basically, with that, there shouldn¡¯t be any issue for you to get promoted to associate senior level!¡±


    This left Wang Yong and Chen Cang looking at each other in astonishment, ¡°It¡¯s that amazing?¡±


    Wang Qian nodded enviously, ¡°What else?¡±


    Wang Qian was not joking. Generally speaking, for ordinary journals, even the core ones in China like Peking University core or science and technology core¡­ No matter if it¡¯s dual core or triple core, only the first author and corresponding author carry weight. However, high-impact factor articles include the second author due to the high difficulty of research and the participation of more people.

 Chapter 179 - Chapter 179: Chapter 180:1 Have No Money (Vote for Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 179: Chapter 180:1 Have No Money (Vote for Monthly Pass)


    Chen Cang really didn¡¯t want to get out of bed, who knows why Qin Yue would call him at three in the morning.


    But it definitely wasn¡¯t anything good!


    Still, thinking of the paper on ¡°Liver Transplantation,¡± Chen Cang decided to get up and check it out.


    It was a bit chilly at night in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and when he arrived at the hospital, Chen Cang saw Qin Yue already waiting for him at the entrance.


    ¡°Chen Cang, come here quickly!¡± Qin Yue whispered urgently.


    Chen Cang curiously jogged over, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Qin Yue pointed to the room, ¡°We¡¯ve got a nutcase.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, bewildered for a few seconds, then said earnestly, ¡°A nutcase arrives, and they call me in the middle of the night¡ªwhat¡¯s the direct connection here?¡±


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be calling psychiatry for a consult?¡±


    Qin Yue pouted, ¡°Psychiatry came down for a consult, but they said the patient doesn¡¯t seem to have a psychiatric disorder, they won¡¯t admit him.¡±


    Chen Cang frowned, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯m here anyway, let¡¯s go in and see what¡¯s the matter.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Be careful, I have a feeling the patient is kind of off.¡±


    Chen Cang turned around, feeling Qin Yue¡¯s fear, involuntarily secreting an extra milliliter of adrenaline, seemingly gaining bravery +1? Courage +1? Manliness +1?


    Upon entering the emergency hall, Chen Cang saw a man with a limp wandering around, touching here and there with a careful gait, dressed in an old-fashioned red vest and black cloth shoes that were torn in several places, looking like a vagrant.


    The man seemed to be fascinated by everything, touching things gingerly, and when he saw that his shoes dirtied the floor, he quickly took them off and bent down to clean it with his clothing.


    Chen Cang glanced at Qin Yue.


    Could it really be a mental illness?


    The nurses at the nursing station had long since disappeared, and at that moment, the man heard someone behind him.


    He turned around abruptly!


    Chen Cang was taken aback!


    Holy crap?


    He saw that the man had a long piece of iron wire pierced through his chest!


    This truly startled Chen Cang, no wonder Qin Yue called him.


    But then again¡­


    Qin Yue called him¡ªwhom could he call in turn¡­


    The man wasn¡¯t old, Chen Cang estimated he was only in his thirties, bald.


    Chen Cang cautiously asked, ¡°Hello, are you here to see the doctor?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, the man appeared indifferent but kept his eyes fixed on Qin Yue, staring intensely and unsettling her.


    At this moment, the man suddenly smiled, ¡°Doctor, you¡¯re very good-looking¡­¡±


    Qin Yue, instead of being flattered, felt even more anxious and awkwardly chuckled, ¡°You¡¯re good-looking too, you¡¯re good-looking too¡­¡±


    Hearing Qin Yue¡¯s response, the man bashfully lowered his head, ¡°I used to be quite handsome when I was young¡­¡±


    Only then did Chen Cang notice that Qin Yue was wearing a white coat, which was why the patient paid no attention to him.


    He quickly got up, returned to the office, grabbed the white coat hanging on the chair, put it on, and walked out.


    Suddenly, the man turned around, and the piece of steel wire nearly swiped across Chen Cang¡¯s face, forcing him to step back immediately!


    Chen Cang, ¡°I¡¯m a doctor, is there anything I can help you with?¡±


    The man nodded, ¡°I¡­ I came to get this looked at!¡±


    After saying that, he added, ¡°But I have no money.¡±


    Seeing that the man¡¯s consciousness was still fairly clear, Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Do you have an ID? Let¡¯s get you registered. It¡¯s for free.¡±


    The man shook his head, ¡°No, I don¡¯t have an ID card.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°No money is not a problem, just give me your ID card first, all these require an ID card, we can help you with the deferred payment first.¡±


    Upon hearing that he could defer payment, the man said, ¡°Even if you arrange for a deferred payment, I still can¡¯t pay it back, I don¡¯t have any money.¡±


    At that moment, nurse Chang Lina and a young intern nurse just came out, walked up to Chen Cang, and whispered, ¡°Doctor Chen, he has been saying he has no money since earlier.¡±


    Chen Cang comforted, ¡°It¡¯s okay, follow me to the treatment room, 1¡¯11 help you see if there¡¯s anything wrong.¡±


    The man just stood there, ¡°But I don¡¯t have any money.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll just take a look, it¡¯s free, let¡¯s see what we can do. How dangerous is this for you?¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang took the man by the arm and walked towards the treatment room.


    Chang Lina and the few junior nurses followed curiously. Chen Cang glared at them, and they reluctantly left.


    Meanwhile, Qin Yue followed Chen Cang into the treatment room and closed the door.


    At this time, Qin Yue also noticed that the man didn¡¯t seem to be mentally ill, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    The man hesitated for a moment, ¡°I¡¯ve forgotten.¡±


    Qin Yue:¡­


    Chen Cang guessed that the man didn¡¯t want to say. Since he came in, he kept emphasizing that he had no money. Whatever was asked of him, he wouldn¡¯t say.


    All he would say was, ¡°1 have no money.¡±


    Suddenly, an idea struck Chen Cang, and he clicked on the man.


    [Zhu Yongwang, sunk in despair, may trigger a task by resolving his heart knot.]


    Worried about one issue, Chen Cang looked at the steel wire through the left side of the chest. Had it not pierced the heart?


    The location was very close to the pulmonary artery, could it have already penetrated?


    Unable to restrain himself, Chen Cang asked, ¡°How did this steel wire get in? What reactions did you have after it was stabbed in?¡±


    The man¡¯s smile was bitter, ¡°I stabbed it in myself, leftover steel wire from fixing the house. It used to be this long, but after stabbing it in, I couldn¡¯t walk, so 1 broke it off!¡±


    As he spoke, the man used his hands to demonstrate the length of the wire, laughing hopelessly.


    Upon hearing that, Qin Yue¡¯s complexion changed abruptly, and she couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Are you crazy? Why would you do that? Aren¡¯t you afraid of dying?¡±


    The man sighed deeply, ¡°I wanted to die, but it didn¡¯t work¡­¡±


    That single sentence left Chen Cang and Qin Yue at a loss for words.


    Chen Cang took the scissors, ¡°I¡¯ll cut open your clothes to check your wound.¡±


    The man hesitated for a moment, ¡°This is the only piece of clothing I have.¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°I¡¯ll lend you one, mine.¡±


    Chen Cang grabbed the scissors and cut open the red short-sleeved shirt, only to find that the steel wire had already rotted into the skin causing severe pus formation around the area. Even Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    How painful that must be!


    Qin Yue was even more shocked. The summer weather being already hot, such wounds easily fester and get infected, but no! The man was already infected!


    Qin Yue felt her heart tremble. Despite being boisterous and having seen many strange clinical diseases, she couldn¡¯t help but shiver.


    With a trembling voice, Qin Yue asked, ¡°Does it¡­ does it not hurt?¡±


    The man gave a wry smile, ¡°It¡¯s bearable, not as painful as having cancer.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue and Chen Cang exchanged a glance, ¡°How do you know you have cancer?¡±


    The man smiled painfully, ¡°1 was diagnosed back in my hometown hospital. They told me I wouldn¡¯t live past half a year, it has already metastasized to my bones, here on my leg.¡±


    As he spoke, the man pointed to what Chen Cang had thought was a limp on his right leg..

    Back in the department, Chen Cang handed Zhu Yongwang¡¯s ID card to Nurse


    Chang Lina, ¡°Register him for observation.¡±


    Chang Lina was startled, ¡°But¡­ but he has no money.¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°First set up a debt account.¡±


    Chang Lina, ¡°Even if we set up a debt account, we won¡¯t get the money back!


    Besides, the debt this month has already exceeded the limit, the head nurse just told me today¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhu Yongwang abruptly raised his head, staring at Chang


    Lina with a gaze like a wolf on the brink of despair, frightening her into stepping back.


    Chen Cang, ¡°He¡¯s only using some anti-inflammatory medication tonight, and it won¡¯t cost much. Let¡¯s stick to the original plan; the department covers eight, and I¡¯ll cover two! Without surgery, it doesn¡¯t cost that much. 1¡¯11 go and issue the medical order.¡±


    Chang Lina nodded hurriedly.


    Both Chang Lina and Qin Yue were afraid something might happen to the man, so Chen Cang didn¡¯t go home and instead spent the night lying on a bed in the emergency department.


    The next day, Qin Yue brought Zhu Yongwang breakfast. Considering he might eat a lot, she bought three cups of soy milk and six buns.


    Zhu Yongwang hadn¡¯t eaten the night before and was famished. Accepting the food, he gave Qin Yue a shy smile, ¡°Thank you!¡±


    After speaking, he squatted in the corner and gobbled up his meal.


    As soon as Qin Yue stepped out, Chang Lina hurriedly pulled her aside after talking to a junior nurse, ¡°Go talk to him! Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? He seems gentler when he looks at you, but when he looks at us, he¡¯s like a wolf!¡±


    Qin Yue was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then oh-ed, walking over.


    ¡°Um¡­¡±


    Zhu Yongwang was gulping down the soy milk, lifting the lid and not minding the heat, ¡°Delicious! What¡¯s up?¡±


    Qin Yue gathered her courage, ¡°1 wanted to discuss something with you.¡±


    Zhu Yongwang took a bite of the bun, filled with pork, ¡°Pork must be expensive, right?¡±


    Qin Yue,¡±¡­¡±


    Swallowing in one gulp, ¡°You tell me, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Qin Yue, ¡°The way you are gives us a lot of psychological pressure. Every time we talk to you or look at you, we are scared, afraid that you¡­ might hurt someone.¡±


    Zhu Yongwang paused, his chewing slowing down¡­


    ¡°You mean¡­ you want me to leave?¡±


    Qin Yue quickly shook her head, ¡°No¡­ Look, the nurses are also nice to you.


    They even bought you breakfast this morning. Don¡¯t be so hostile to them.¡± ¡°Moreover, we need the chief physician to come and then we can discuss and consult together to make a decision!¡±


    In the morning, after Li Baoshan arrived, he went straight to Zhu Yongwang for an examination, and then said to Chen Cang, ¡°First cut the steel wire short. What if he aggravates his condition by accident?¡±


    Only then did Chen Cang react, quickly grabbing pliers, while Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but cover Zhu Yongwang¡¯s eyes, ¡°Endure it for a moment.¡±


    With a snip!


    The man inhaled sharply!


    Qin Yue asked, ¡°Does it hurt?¡±


    Zhu Yongwang grinned, ¡°Not as painful as cancer!¡±


    Chen Cang sent the photos in his phone to Li Baoshan, who, after a thorough analysis, said, ¡°Arrange a consultation. Let Director Tao come down, we need to discuss.¡±


    Afterward, Li Baoshan stood up and left.


    Zhu Yongwang abruptly stood up, a mix of confusion and anger in his voice, ¡°Are you tricking me? Is that it?¡±


    Qin Yue quickly said, ¡°Of course not, your situation is very special, we need to consult with a cardiovascular surgeon for your diagnosis and treatment!


    ¡°After that, we¡¯ll need a case discussion based on your situation before we can develop a treatment plan!¡±


    When Zhu Yongwang heard this, he said, ¡°Just pull it out, and it¡¯ll be fine. Why all the fuss?¡±


    Chang Lina had long been fed up with this man who acted like he owned the place since he arrived here.


    Think you¡¯re pitiful or you¡¯re tough?


    Just pull it out, and it¡¯ll be fine; why don¡¯t you do it yourself?


    Even Chang Lina felt that the man was here at the hospital to scam money. It¡¯d be better off if he died; after all, such things had happened before!


    With this thought, Chang Lina snorted coldly and left.


    Zhu Yongwang looked at Qin Yue, ¡°Really, you¡¯re not deceiving me, are you?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°I¡¯m not deceiving you.¡±


    Zhu Yongwang hesitated again, ¡°I don¡¯t have money¡­ 1 really have no money!¡± Qin Yue shook her head, ¡°It really isn¡¯t about the money. Don¡¯t worry about the money for now, but your family needs to come because if it¡¯s surgery, we 11 definitely need a signature. Otherwise, the surgery can¡¯t proceed!


    Zhu Yongwang¡¯s eyes lit up, and he immediately shook his head: I ve no money, nor do 1 have any family!¡±


    Qin Yue was taken aback, ¡°You don¡¯t have family?¡±


    Zhu Yongwang just kept shaking his head: ¡°1 have no money, and no family! ¡± In the following minutes, no matter what Qin Yue asked, Zhu Yongwang had only one response: I¡¯ve no money, I have no family!


    With no other choice, Qin Yue had to leave.


    As soon as she went out, Chang Lina pulled Qin Yue aside.


    ¡°Qin Yue, let me tell you, this man is no good. You can¡¯t let your compassion get the better of you. Look at him, he says nothing.


    ¡°He obviously has an ID card and he tells us he doesn¡¯t, and he won¡¯t mention his family. Isn¡¯t it just because he doesn¡¯t want to pay?¡±


    ¡°He behaves as if the hospital is his own house. Do we owe him something? Just because he¡¯s pitiful, he thinks he¡¯s in the right? 1 can¡¯t stand it.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re pitiful, that doesn¡¯t give you the right to create havoc, does it?¡± Qin Yue sighed, ¡°We might be his last hope, the one he refuses to let go of!¡± ¡°He definitely won¡¯t let go. Let¡¯s do our best¡­ even if we don¡¯t operate, it won¡¯t cost much!¡±


    Chang Lina snorted, ¡°Qin Yue, you¡¯re too naive. I know this kind of person too well!¡±


    ¡°They take advantage of our kindness as a bargaining chip! They want free treatment. Just you watch, if we say we won¡¯t operate, he will definitely start making trouble!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen too many people like this! If you say we won¡¯t operate, he¡¯ll surely cause a scene in the hospital!¡±


    In the emergency office, Tao Zi, Li Baoshan, Chen Cang, and the head of the respiratory department Yang Xiaoming were all gathered together, discussing Zhu Yongwang¡¯s surgical situation.


    The conclusion of the discussion was clear:


    Yang Xiaoming spoke, ¡°The patient¡¯s condition is now quite evident; late-stage lung cancer with multiple metastases. His prognosis is not promising. Whether the wire is removed or not, his survival time is short, probably only two to three months.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, he doesn¡¯t even have family to sign for the surgery, so we can¡¯t operate on him. To put it bluntly, the hospital is not a charity. If everyone behaved this way, the hospital wouldn¡¯t be able to function.¡±


    Yang Xiaoming¡¯s words were sensible and reasonable, leaving no room for objection.


    Tao Zi also nodded, ¡°I think so too. The wound where the wire is located is severely infected, and the surgery poses a great risk. Additionally, surgery, even if successful, would still face the problem of late-stage lung cancer and significant pneumothorax in the patient¡¯s prognosis, likely shortening his lifespan. Thus, choosing not to perform surgery seems to be the better option right now.¡±


    After a long silence, Li Baoshan sighed and, looking at the X-rays, nodded, ¡°Chen, go and communicate with him, explain the situation to him..¡±

 Chapter 183 - Chapter 183: Chapter 184: Child, Daddy Just Wants to Be Your Hero!

    Chapter 183: Chapter 184: Child, Daddy Just Wants to Be Your Hero!


    Qin Yue had finished her night shift, but she lingered and didn¡¯t leave.


    Sitting in the office with red eyes, silent, she hesitated for a long time before she got up, changed her clothes, and left the hospital.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang sighed, gave Wang Yong a nod, and hurried out after her!


    Once outside the hospital, Chen Cang asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    Qin Yue turned her head and glared at Chen Cang, ¡°None of your business!¡±


    Qin Yue then headed towards Tian Jie, a bustling commercial district close to the Provincial Second Hospital. It was the most flourishing area nearby, filled with shopping malls and always crowded.


    Feeling like he had been too harsh to Qin Yue, Chen Cang took the initiative to buy her a cup of milk tea and handed it over.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be mad, I got carried away earlier.¡±


    Qin Yue snorted coldly, took the milk tea, and sipped it.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue wandered around all day without finding Zhu Yongwang.


    As dusk fell and the city lights came on, the night of Anyang City was once again lit up by neon lights.


    Qin Yue sighed, ¡°Where do you think he could have gone?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°How would I know?¡±


    Sad songs played on the street, and Chen Gang¡¯s mood suddenly grew heavy.


    It wasn¡¯t just because their mission to find Zhu Yongwang had failed, but more because of his own¡­ inner hurdle!


    Zhu Yongwang had roamed around for the day, visiting amusement parks, parks, and large shopping centers, taking the blurriest of photos with his old phone.


    With a foolish smile, he recorded a voice message on his phone, ¡°Kids, your dad isn¡¯t a good dad, I haven¡¯t been able to take care of you, your sister, and your mom in this life; I¡¯m a bad dad, a trash dad.¡±


    As he spoke, Zhu Yongwang walked into Wangfujing, enviously gazing at the magnificent decorations of the mall, muttering to himself as if it were a palace¡­ smelling the special scent of perfume, Zhu Yongwang¡¯s tears flowed freely.


    He didn¡¯t recognise any of the luxury brands around him; the elegantly dressed salespeople, the sophisticated business men and women, all made his head spin.


    The security guard, upon seeing Zhu Yongwang who looked like a vagrant, couldn¡¯t help urging him, ¡°Hey, buddy, you should go outside. The manager will scold me when he comes!¡±


    Zhu Yongwang ignored him, silently standing there.


    The security guard grew anxious; although there were no explicit rules against beggars entering, they always got scolded by the manager whenever they let them in!


    Isn¡¯t everyone just trying to make a living?


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue were just passing by when she spotted Zhu Yongwang and dashed inside!


    ¡°Zhu Yongwang, it¡¯s me, Qin Yue, didn¡¯t you say I was pretty? Come back with us, we¡¯ll operate on you!¡± Qin Yue said hurriedly.


    Chen Cang sighed; he had been searching all day with Qin Yue, from 10 in the morning until 9 at night.


    Eleven hours!


    Qin Yue hadn¡¯t slept a wink last night on her night shift, from waking up at 7 in the morning to now, at 9 in the evening, it had been nearly forty hours without shut-eye.


    But the stubborn Qin Yue insisted on finding Zhu Yongwang!


    That¡¯s Qin Yue for you, with stubbornness and determination in her bones, reminding Chen Cang of the times when she jumped onto the stretcher to perform CPR on a patient, or when she sat in the office, sulking after being scolded by a patient¡¯s family before continuing to work shortly after.


    Hearing Qin Yue¡¯s shout, Zhu Yongwang turned around with a smile and then reached into his bag.


    This startled Qin Yue!


    Not just Qin Yue, but Chen Gang¡¯s face also changed!


    Thinking of the rampaging Zhu Yongwang, who talked about taking revenge on society that day, both their faces changed and they immediately lunged at him.


    Qin Yue was even quicker to grab the bag and clutch it to her chest.


    But then¡­ they saw Zhu Yongwang holding an old mobile phone displaying a picture.


    In the photo, three children¡ªtwo girls and a boy¡ªwere smiling innocently.


    All of a sudden, Chen Cang and Qin Yue were at a loss for words.


    Zhu Yongwang lay dejected on the ground, his eyes brimming with tears, ¡°These are my kids, they¡¯ve never left the county, never seen such a wonderful world, seen such tall buildings, or smelled a scent lovelier than flowers¡­ Will they ever get out?¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s nose turned sour, and she couldn¡¯t help but choke up, ¡°There will be a chance, there definitely will be!¡±


    Zhu Yongwang was arranged to stay in the emergency ward, preparing for surgery three days after wound treatment on his chest.


    Qin Yue helped to get the photos from his phone developed, printing dozens of copies, including their family portrait.


    Despite the blurry quality due to the phone¡¯s low resolution, the smiles were clear and unmistakable.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue walked into the ward.


    Zhu Yongwang hastily hid something in his hand and quickly got up, ¡°Doctor Qin, Doctor Chen, isn¡¯t it the weekend? Why have you come?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t hide it, we¡¯ve already seen it.¡±


    Zhu Yongwang then took out the photo, ¡°These are my children.¡±


    Only then did Qin Yue see Zhu Yongwang crying; she touched her eyes.


    ¡°Your wife is really pretty; both girls look like you, and the boy takes after his mother,¡± Qin Yue said, smiling as she looked at the photo.


    Zhu Yongwang bashfully said, ¡°Not as pretty as you, actually¡­ I was quite handsome when I was young too.¡±


    Qin Yue smiled, ¡°You still look good now!¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Tonight your kids and wife should be here. The hospital administration has arranged for someone to pick them up.¡±


    When Zhu Yongwang heard this, he was stupefied¡­


    ¡°You¡­ How did you know?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°We contacted the Public Security Bureau; they cooperated with us and went to pick them up last night.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhu Yongwang burst into wailing tears.


    Qin Yue and Chen Cang were taken aback¡­


    It took a while before he calmed down.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t want them to see their dad in such a wretched and incapable state! I¡­ I just wanted to be their hero, not a feeble wretch, a piece of trash lying in a hospital¡­ I¡¯m scared to face them¡­¡±


    Chen Cang continued, ¡°The surgery would definitely require family presence, and about the money, don¡¯t worry. Our department has donated for you; although your surgery cost is waived, you still need money for the medication, and your wife and kids will need money for food and lodging.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man¡¯s face turned red instantly, ¡°I can¡¯t accept this!¡±


    Qin Yue sighed, ¡°This isn¡¯t for you, it¡¯s for the kids. It¡¯s not easy for them to come here, and once they arrived, I took them around to enjoy the beautiful sights of Anyang City, to see the tall buildings and big parks, to visit the amusement park¡­ Look, they are so much better off than you. At such a young age, they¡¯ve already seen the big world outside!¡±


    Zhu Yongwang sighed, ¡°Yes, when I was a child, I only stayed in the village, I never even went to the county¡­ But when I was a kid, I had my dad¡­¡±


    With that remark, everyone fell silent.


    Zhu Yongwang got up, sighed, and looked out the window; emergency was on the first floor, and this sickroom had no sky¡ªonly a wall!


    And in Zhu Yongwang¡¯s eyes¡­ only helplessness and bleakness.


    The surgery that had been planned changed after the patient Zhu Yongwang¡¯s family arrived.


    Zhu Yongwang refused the surgery.


    He left behind a letter and a cell phone with a message, then he left.


    Zhu Yongwang ran away¡­


    All the photos had been taken by him.


    His wife and children arrived at the emergency room and, upon reading the letter, burst into tears.


    Chen Cang was also completely bewildered!


    Why did Zhu Yongwang run away?


    Where did he go?


    What on earth was he planning to do?


    Chen Cang thought long and hard and suddenly noticed his clothes hanging there¡­


    Chen Cang quietly took his clothes down.


    He found a letter in the pocket.


    Chen Cang opened it:


    ¡°Dr. Chen:


    Thank you, Dr. Chen, for in the last and most difficult days of my life you¡¯ve given me a sense of warmth and hope, and you¡¯ve shown me the last glimmer of light.


    I¡¯ve left!


    I don¡¯t know how to face my wife and children.


    I wanted to be their hero, to protect them against the elements, to be their pillar.


    But in this life¡­ I can¡¯t do it anymore.


    I don¡¯t dare to see them.


    I also don¡¯t have the face to see them.


    By the way, I have one last wish. I hope you can do me this favor. After I¡¯m gone, I wish for my organs to be donated to those in need, but I don¡¯t want my children to see my pathetic end!


    I don¡¯t want to leave them with any dark memories. I only want to tell them:


    Dad isn¡¯t a coward!


    Please do this for me, Dr. Chen, you¡¯re a good person. Please contact the organ donation agency for me. If there¡¯s any money, give it to my wife¡­


    Also, please tell Dr. Qin, she¡¯s very beautiful, only someone like you deserves her. If you¡¯re reading this letter by the time it reaches you, I might already be dead, I am in¡­¡±


    Chen Gang¡¯s face changed dramatically!


    He rushed out like a madman!


    In the corner outside the window, he saw Zhu Yongwang lying against the corner, shirtless, with a knife in his hands, his gaze fixed ahead, not yet completely dead, but¡­ probably not able to hold on much longer.


    Zhu Yongwang¡¯s wife, sensing something, followed Chen Cang out.


    Seeing Zhu Yongwang lying in the corner, she threw herself on him like crazy!


    ¡°Wife, everything I want to say is in the phone. Tell the kids, their dad isn¡¯t a coward, nor will he do anything bad. Tell them to study hard¡­¡±


    The woman kept nodding her head.


    Zhu Yongwang turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, I finally found a heart¡­¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t hold back anymore; tears streamed down uncontrollably.


    ¡°Wife¡­ don¡¯t let the kids see me like this; I¡¯m afraid they will remember it for a lifetime. Tell them their father was a hero who made a contribution to society!¡±


    The wife kept nodding, ¡°Husband¡­ you¡¯ve always been my hero¡­¡±


    Qin Yue, not knowing when, had also followed out and witnessed the scene.


    Zhu Yongwang smiled, ¡°Dr. Qin, you¡¯re so beautiful, only¡­ only Dr. Chen is worthy of you¡­¡±


    Zhu Yongwang turned to his wife, ¡°Wife, don¡¯t blame the hospital, they¡¯re all good people. I¡¯ve written the will; donate it to those in need¡­ don¡¯t blame the hospital¡­¡±


    ps: Zhu Yongwang has passed away, having lived out his final life, the ending of his own choosing.


    He wanted to die with dignity!


    To die like a hero.


    He didn¡¯t want to struggle like a coward anymore.


    Perhaps everyone could have disliked Zhu Yongwang at the start, but¡­ he is a real person, begging for survival, this was his only choice.


    Whether a scoundrel or a cynic, he was just an ordinary person.


    But ordinary people can be heroes too!


    Ordinary people also have things they would rather die than surrender.


    Zhu Yongwang, with his final donation, chose to be a hero at the end.


    He wanted to tell his children that he was a hero.


    As for me, I don¡¯t dislike him.


    ps: In this chapter, I don¡¯t ask for anything, good night to everyone, rest early, and may all men become heroes to their children and wives, and blessings to all women, may you find your hero..

 Chapter 185 - Chapter 185: Chapter 186: Hidden Profession (Extra for the Last Man on Earth.)

    Chapter 185: Chapter 186: Hidden Profession (Extra for the Last Man on Earth.)


    After Chen Cang googled it, he breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder he had never heard of it-it was far behind Harvard. It seemed it wasn¡¯t due to his own limited experience but rather the school¡¯s lack of fame.


    Hmm, the medical school¡¯s global ranking isn¡¯t that strong either, just a mere


    top 10.


    There¡¯s nothing particularly remarkable about the school either, just a tiny Nobel Committee that¡¯s not busy most of the time, only responsible for the evaluation and awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine each year.


    Chen Cang felt sour¡­


    You, just a mere doctoral student from the Karolinska Institute!


    What are you doing in Dongyang Province?


    Is this the place you should come to?


    Only then did Chen Cang take a look at the name, Meng Xi.


    Didn¡¯t expect her to be all that remarkable either? I thought your surname would be Dongfang, Ximen, Nangong, Ouyang, or something-


    in terms of looks¡­ about on par with Qin Yue¡¯s little bootlicker, I suppose.


    But definitely not as formidable as Qin Yue, who carried with him a ¡°Skill Book¡± that everyone feared. Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but touch his forehead, feeling somewhat scared in retrospect.


    However, Chen Cang was stunned after seeing Meng Xi¡¯s profile!


    This woman¡­ pretty impressive, oh¡­


    A doctoral degree in cardiac surgery?


    As for academic achievements¡­


    emmm¡­


    Just a few papers in The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine¡­


    Chen Cang casually closed the magazine, slammed the table, and said, ¡°She¡¯s the one!¡±


    Good enough, let¡¯s settle for this!


    Chen Cang felt he couldn¡¯t be too picky. Although the mentor was a bit young, it wasn¡¯t unacceptable.


    At this moment, Guan Wei came back.


    Seeing Chen Cang sitting there, he asked with a smile, ¡°How¡¯s it going? Found someone you¡¯re interested in? If you have, I can help you ask around.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°This¡­ Teacher Guan, 1 think Teacher Meng Xi is not bad.


    She¡¯s 30 years old, Karolinska Institute Ph.D., and her strongest point is scientific research, particularly in the field of cardiac surgery. It seems pretty suitable.¡±


    Guan Wei was also taken aback for a moment, then awkwardly smiled, ¡°Little


    Meng, huh?¡±


    ¡°Meng Xi is quite capable. She just returned to the country last year, and initially she didn¡¯t plan to take on any students, but the school encouraged her to mentor one, given her excellent qualifications. She has a strong ability in scientific research; after coming to the hospital affiliated with the school, she secured a national natural science foundation project for the hospital in the same year!¡±


    ¡°She even published a top-tier SCI paper on The Lancet this year. So, it seems her research ability is quite strong, but¡­ her clinical skills are average, at least that¡¯s the hospital¡¯s evaluation.¡±


    ¡°Meng Xi is definitely a potential talent with great prospects, and there are many who follow her. There are also quite a few well-connected people who have approached her, but¡­ it seems she is not very impressed by them.¡±


    ¡°A couple of days ago, she called me, saying that if she can¡¯t find the right one, she might as well recruit next year. It seems¡­ she¡¯s not very keen on taking students.¡±


    (Ding! You have triggered a hidden task: Apprentice under Meng Xi. Successful apprenticeship allows for a career change to a special hidden occupation. 1


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    Holy shit?


    A hidden task?


    A hidden occupation?


    Isn¡¯t this the main character¡¯s typical setup?


    After Guan Wei finished speaking, he sat down opposite Chen Cang, ¡°Actually, I wouldn¡¯t recommend you apply for Meng Xi. It¡¯s her first time mentoring, so she definitely lacks experience. Moreover¡­ when you chose a young teacher, one downside is that the teacher is still in the ascending phase of their career. They won¡¯t pay much attention to students, unlike senior mentors who have reached their peak and focus mainly on cultivating students.¡±


    ¡°So, you applying for Meng Xi is not as good as applying for your hospital¡¯s Tao Zi. Director Tao is also highly competent, and having had a few interactions with him, I can say he¡¯s a good person and is affiliated with the provincial second hospital. It would be easier for you two to communicate.¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°I don¡¯t want to apply, but¡­ I really can¡¯t give up this hidden task in my hands!¡±


    And this hidden occupation?


    How special can it be?


    Can¡¯t possibly change my job to Ultraman, right!


    But why do I still feel a bit of anticipation?


    Moreover, after pondering for a while, Chen Cang realized his main purpose of apprenticing wasn¡¯t necessarily to learn clinical skills, after all, he had the system. As long as he got his job transfer certification, once he opened the Skill Book, what skill couldn¡¯t he grasp with ease?


    However, he felt research was his Achilles¡¯ heel.


    With Dr. Meng Xi being strong in this area, Chen Cang believed his main objective in doing postgraduate studies was to learn research. Compared to that, he also felt that if he applied with Meng Xi, it would probably be the correct choice.


    Thinking of how the protagonists in novels instantly change jobs to become dual masters of magic and martial arts, proficient in both.


    Could his special job perhaps be a triple mastery of internal and external medicine, and research? Skilled in internal medicine, even more skilled in surgery, and the ultimate in research?


    With that thought, Chen Cang felt a glimmer of possibility.


    He felt that not striving for it would simply be unforgivable, knowing that Dr. Meng Xi had come all the way from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden to Anyang just to set up this hidden mission for him!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Guan, 1 want to give it a try. How should I get there?¡±


    Guan Wei looked surprised, then smiled and gave Chen Cang a thumbs-up!


    ¡°Kid, impressive. Alright, let me make a phone call to see when would be a good time. I¡¯ll make a call first.¡±


    After saying that, Guan Wei picked up the phone and dialed directly.


    The phone rang for a long time with no answer.


    Guan Wei smiled awkwardly, ¡°He might be in the restroom¡­¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    After a while, Guan Wei called again.


    Still no answer¡­


    ¡°He might be in surgery¡­¡±


    Around five in the afternoon, Guan Wei¡¯s face turned red, ¡°I¡¯ll try another call.¡±


    After saying that, he called again.


    This time, the call went through.


    ¡°Hello, Director Guan, I¡¯ve just finished a surgery.¡±


    The voice carried a hint of fatigue and laziness.


    Guan Wei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his face restored, ¡°Hmm, no problem, Director Meng, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    ¡°Is there something you need, Director Guan?¡±


    Guan Wei nodded, ¡°Hmm¡­ It¡¯s like this, Director Meng, school is about to start, right? Do you have any suitable student candidates?¡±


    Meng Xi was silent for a moment, ¡°Not at the moment. If 1 don¡¯t have anyone by the first, I might as well cancel my slot. Sorry to trouble you, Director Guan.¡± Guan Wei smiled, ¡°No trouble at all, Director Meng, what if I recommend a student? He has three years of emergency medicine experience and very good clinical skills. What do you think about meeting him sometime?¡±


    Meng Xi hesitated for a moment, ¡°Have him come to my office on Monday morning. I¡¯ll meet with him and see. Is it a boy or a girl?¡±


    Guan Wei, ¡°It¡¯s a guy, a young man, quite capable!¡±


    Meng Xi seemed relieved upon hearing this.


    ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s settled then, Director Guan. I have other matters to attend to.¡±


    With that, the call was ended.


    Guan Wei smiled and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Go to the first hospital of Dong University¡¯s Cardiac Surgery Department this Monday and meet with Director Meng!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, the phone was close enough, and he heard everything clearly¡­


    But why did the person only agree after Guan Wei said ¡®the young man is quite capable¡¯? Could there be a special significance to this?

 Chapter 187 - Chapter 187: Chapter 188: Behind the Medical Dinner (Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)

    Chapter 187: Chapter 188: Behind the Medical Dinner (Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)


    The gathering was set for 6:30 PM at a frequently visited restaurant in the Tian Street commercial district.


    Today¡¯s gathering was on the department¡¯s tab, and almost everyone from surgery, except for An Yanjun who was on duty, was present.


    Emergency department gatherings were rare, so this time everyone was there for the fun of it.


    Li Baoshan had brought several bottles of fine liquor from home. He didn¡¯t drink, but that didn¡¯t mean he¡¯d prevent others from drinking.


    One characteristic of the emergency department was the high proportion of young people among the old, middle-aged, and young, mainly because the department hired many temporary workers.


    Where there are many young people, it¡¯s easy for things to become lively, and the meal was indeed boisterous.


    In the middle of the meal, a middle-aged man accompanied by a young man and woman entered, all dressed in business attire.


    The man, beaming with enthusiasm, came in smiling and greeted Li Baoshan, ¡°Director Li, what a coincidence, having a department dinner today?¡±


    Li Baoshan¡¯s expression flickered and he stood up, nodding slightly, ¡°Uh, hello, President Zhao.¡±


    The man was not old, just over forty, but he looked very charismatic. In Wang Qian¡¯s words, he looked very wealthy, with his designer outfit speaking volumes of his affluence.


    Some people¡¯s charisma is genuine, while most is built upon the foundation of wealth.


    After exchanging pleasantries with Chen Bingsheng and others, the man said, ¡°Just passing by to say hello. Enjoy your meal, I won¡¯t disturb you further.¡±


    After nodding to Li Baoshan, he smiled and left.


    Li Baoshan hurried after him, with the head nurse Tian Xianglan also running out.


    Chen Cang had seen the man before, a frequent visitor to the department. If Yuan Fan had been there, he would definitely have recognized the fetching young woman.


    President Zhao was the general manager of a pharmaceutical company in Dongyang Province. Despite his casual entrance and greeting as if meeting an old friend, his purpose was quite evident¡ªto let Li Baoshan know who had paid the bill.


    These astute individuals never show off in public. Making a brief appearance and then leaving, after which Li Baoshan would find out that the bill was settled!


    You might not care once or twice, but what about after many more times?


    In fact, department dinners usually involved pharmaceutical representatives chipping in with money.


    Li Baoshan was reluctant to provoke these people, mainly because of the emergency department¡¯s medication issues.


    Emergency medications differ greatly from regular medications, as many of them are life-saving.


    For this reason, Li Baoshan was strict about this aspect, only using established medications that have stood the test of time in the market.


    For example, the emergency department often treats patients with pain, and Ibuprofen is a commonly used medication with high sales.


    Most people visiting a pharmacy don¡¯t pay attention to the brand or the manufacturer; as long as it¡¯s Ibuprofen, it¡¯s fine.


    Because people might think that all manufacturers¡¯ drugs are the same, after all, they all contain Ibuprofen.


    However, there are not a few instances each year where emergency medication leads to mishaps.


    And even when something goes wrong, you can¡¯t find the cause, which can be deadly.


    A few years ago, an emergency department at Dongyang Provincial People¡¯s Hospital faced an incident during a resuscitation because of their choice of norepinephrine.


    Although everyone knows what norepinephrine is, many manufacturers produce it, with the most common ones being Lian Shu, Tianjin Jinyao Amino Acid, Shanghai Hefeng, and many others.


    Yet, such a common medication brought a fatal blow to the patient!


    Li Baoshan naturally knew why Zhao Kangbo had come.


    So he hurriedly got up and chased after him.


    Eating someone¡¯s food makes one soft, taking someone¡¯s gift makes one short-handed; this is an unchanging truth through the ages.


    Following Zhao Kangbo out, Li Baoshan quickly signaled to the head nurse, Tian Xianglan.


    Tian Xianglan instantly understood and hurriedly got up to go pay the bill.


    Zhao Kangbo also smiled, ¡°Director Li, now you¡¯re being too formal. The restaurant has an agreement with us; we get discounts on our meals. Isn¡¯t this just about saving some funds for our department?¡±


    Li Baoshan smiled, ¡°Zhao is rich and generous; such small expenses are nothing for you. But in our department, every penny must be accounted for. Should there be any issues, Li Baoshan cannot bear the responsibility.¡±


    Zhao Kangbo laughed and shook his head, ¡°Director Li, you joke.¡±


    While talking, Zhao Kangbo pulled Li Baoshan to the side, ¡°Director Li, to be frank, our medicine has been in the hospital for five or six years, and it has always had good effects. Moreover, it¡¯s cheaper than those big companies, which is a good thing for patients, right?¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the young doctors in the emergency department also need to support their families. You know that the respiratory and cardiology departments are using it, and it¡¯s working very well. Maybe Director Li could take this into consideration?¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Hmm, I will think about it when I get back.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the evening, as soon as Chen Cang got back, Zhang Zhixin called.


    ¡°Chen, I¡¯m on duty in the department tomorrow, so I won¡¯t go to the plastic surgery hospital. You can go on your own if you want to shadow someone or do it yourself, but¡­ be careful, don¡¯t let anything go wrong.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin gave Chen Cang a heads-up.


    Chen Cang nodded and smiled, ¡°Okay, I got it, Boss Zhang.¡±


    As soon as Zhang Zhixin hung up, Fu Yufang called.


    ¡°Chen, it¡¯s me, your sister Fu!¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly realized that when he heard this name, he wasn¡¯t scared!


    ¡°Mm, Sister Fu, hello!¡±


    Fu Yufang smiled faintly, ¡°Chen, I was hoping you could do me a favor.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s my younger sister, she¡¯s only 24 this year, but her chest hasn¡¯t developed. She¡¯s seen doctors at major hospitals, and they all say it¡¯s micromastia, congenital, and it doesn¡¯t affect normal life. However, she¡¯s very dissatisfied with her figure and thinks about plastic surgery all the time. She¡¯s visited various plastic surgery hospitals big and small and even went to South Korea last year. They all said her body type wasn¡¯t easy to design for, and mainly, she¡¯s a dance student. Since you know many people, do you know any skilled breast plastic surgeons who could help design something?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°Sister Fu, bring her over tomorrow and let me have a look first. Hearing you describe it like this, I can¡¯t judge.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Fu Yufang quickly nodded, ¡°Alright, alright, then it¡¯s settled. I¡¯ll bring my sister over tomorrow and have you take a look too, to see how it could be designed.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled without refusing.


    By now, he was no longer the same as he had been before.


    He had seen all sorts of situations.


    ¡­


    After hanging up the phone, Fu Yufang said with a smile, ¡°Little sister, I¡¯ll take you to see him tomorrow. That Chen is quite skilled, maybe he really can sort you out.¡±


    The girl smiled, ¡°Sister, it¡¯s okay, I¡¯ve been getting by all these years. If it¡¯s small, so be it. I¡¯m used to it anyway!¡±

 Chapter 188 - Chapter 188: Chapter 189: All By Feeling! (Asking for Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 188: Chapter 189: All By Feeling! (Asking for Monthly Pass)


    Chen Cang arrived early at the plastic surgery hospital and sat in Zhang Zhixin¡¯s office.


    Behind Zhang Zhixin were some magazines and journals, most of which were closely related to breast plastic surgery.


    Around nine o¡¯clock, Fu Yufang walked in with a girl in a basketball outfit. The moment Chen Cang looked up, he slightly frowned, as she seemed truly flat.


    Fu Yufang smiled, ¡°Xiao Chen, this is my sister, Fu Yulan.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a slight smile, ¡°Hello!¡±


    The girl smiled heartily, ¡°Hello!¡±


    Chen Cang had to admit, the young girl looked spirited, attired in a red basketball outfit and sports shoes, which made her seem very sunny.


    After closing the door, Fu Yufang got straight to the point, ¡°Shall we start?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°You can go behind the screen to take off your clothes¡­¡±


    The girl nodded, ¡°That¡¯s not necessary!¡±


    Finishing her sentence, she swiftly and straightforwardly stood there!


    Despite Chen Cang being worldly, he was taken aback for a moment, ¡°Quite candid!¡±


    Even Fu Yufang was thrown off, awkwardly sighing and holding her forehead, wondering how she ended up with such a sister!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ponder how different siblings could be, even though they were born from the same mother.


    Fu Yufang¡¯s every move was full of femininity, whereas Fu Yulan, who was ten years younger, was much different in personality.


    Chen Cang suddenly had a thought, could it be that breasts truly could influence a girl¡¯s character?


    However, Chen Cang also quickly got up and started to gesture and carefully observe the girl for the best surgical approach, which not only required observation but also understanding of the thymus, muscles, skin elasticity, and so forth¡­


    About fifteen minutes later, Chen Cang had a clear idea after the examination.


    He said, ¡°You have very little glandular tissue and fat content, which is why it¡¯s so flat. You have a typical case of micromastia.¡±


    ¡°However¡­ your skin elasticity is still good, but the breast muscle fibers are not very strong, and you have very little glandular tissue, so even with implantation, there¡¯s indeed some difficulty! The difficulty mainly lies in the aftermath, often worrying about the implant shifting due to dancing.¡±


    Fu Yulan sighed immediately, ¡°Right! The doctors in Korea said the same thing. They said that even with implants, they might not be stable because I continue dancing. The intense movements can lead to asymmetry, and they simply wouldn¡¯t stay put, even if the surgery were successful¡­ it would be quite challenging!¡±


    ¡°And there are numerous risks, such as implant displacement, or if there¡¯s any mismatch with the cavity, it can lead to twisting or extrusion, too many complications!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not impossible to achieve.¡±


    At this, Fu Yulan¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°You mean¡­ there¡¯s a chance?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm!¡±


    Fu Yulan seemed to have done extensive research, ¡°Then can I use my own fat?¡±


    Chen Cang stood up, turned around, and decisively said, ¡°No!¡±


    Fu Yulan was far too thin, with too little fat in any area.


    ¡°Oh! Okay, I was just asking. I used to think that getting fatter would enlarge my breasts, so I ate a lot¡­ but I got up to 140 and my belly was bigger than my breasts, so I came to realize that it just wasn¡¯t meant to be! I had to lose weight quickly. If I had known then that fat was needed, I wouldn¡¯t have lost weight and would have just moved the fat to the right place!¡± Fu Yulan sighed.


    After understanding the situation, Fu Yulan decided to give it a try, figuring she could deal with any issues later.


    After all, living once as a person, and a woman at that, it can¡¯t just be so flat, right? That would be too frustrating if she were to die like that!


    With that in thought!


    Fu Yulan looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor, use the best implants on me! And the biggest ones!¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°It won¡¯t work, you can¡¯t handle it.¡±


    Chen Cang felt like this breast augmentation was turning into bargaining at a vegetable market, ¡°No, your frame is also very small, you don¡¯t have enough glands or fat, and your muscles aren¡¯t up to it either. If you chose too large an implant, it wouldn¡¯t fit if the thoracic diameter isn¡¯t sufficient. Not only could the implant cause conflict once inside, but it could also increase the burden on your heart and body.¡±


    ¡°More importantly, your skin doesn¡¯t have enough tensile strength, and since you¡¯re also a dancer, too large an implant isn¡¯t a good thing. For safety, it would be better if the volume of the implant is a little smaller. If after the surgery you find your skin and muscles have adapted, we can implant some of your own fat, which would make it look more natural and full!¡±


    Chen Cang selected a pair of 200cc teardrop-shaped Mentor implants for her.


    These implants had memory gel and were made from a high-quality material that mimics human soft tissue.


    After choosing the implants, Chen Cang was ready to start the surgery.


    Fu Yulan suddenly asked, ¡°Doctor Chen, I was wondering¡­ can these things get damaged?¡±


    Chen Cang awkwardly smiled, ¡°They won¡¯t break, and there¡¯s actually a benefit too!¡±


    Fu Yulan was momentarily perplexed, ¡°What benefit?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see the news? Some time ago, a dumped body case was solved because of the implants in the woman¡¯s body. The police tracked down the perpetrator step by step through the unique serial numbers on the implants¡­¡±


    ¡°Every number is one of a kind!¡±


    Fu Yulan¡¯s eyes brightened!


    ¡­


    The surgery began!


    Chen Cang chose to make the incision in the armpit, about 2-3 cm. Since the skin folds there were deep and rough, the scar would hardly be noticeable after healing.


    The essence of the surgery revolved around separation and implantation!


    Chen Cang picked up the specially made separating forceps and probed bit by bit towards the breast area from the incision, separating along the superficial fascia layer towards the lateral edge of the muscle!


    Next, Chen Cang needed to bluntly open the muscle fascia and find the space between the pectoralis major and minor muscles. According to the pre-operative markings, the instrument for breast gland dissection was used to bluntly separate the space between the chest muscles, suitable for inserting the implant.


    This process was the most challenging, as any inconsistency between both sides of the surgery could easily lead to an asymmetrical result.


    Furthermore, if you don¡¯t properly master the space between the muscles when inserting the implant, and thus can¡¯t secure it properly, such problems become even more severe!


    And Chen Cang¡¯s breast augmentation surgery¡¯s hallmark¡ªstability and longevity¡ªwas to reasonably choose the angle and method of implant insertion!


    All of these steps were done blindfolded. Without thousands of surgeries¡¯ worth of experience and training, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t guarantee the success rate of the surgery!


    Pinching the implant between his fingers, Chen Cang slowly pushed it through the incision and into the dissected space between the chest muscles, taking care to adjust the shape with his fingers as he inserted it.


    All of this relied on feeling!


    PS: For now, three chapters. A few more will come tomorrow noon.

    Chapter 192: Chapter 193: Such High Pretentiousness! (Please Subscribe!)


    ¡°`


    On his way home that evening, Chen Cang suddenly felt as if everything around him was dreamlike and illusory. He had never imagined that casually enhancing someone¡¯s chest would allow him to achieve his life¡¯s first milestone of wealth: the millionaire level!


    It seems that the ancients did not deceive me, ¡°A woman at twenty is like gold bricks, a woman at thirty bestows an empire.¡±


    Chen Cang wondered if he should seek out someone three thousand years his senior, for after all¡­¡±A woman over three thousand ascends to the ranks of the immortals.¡±


    The next morning, Chen Cang asked Li Baoshan for leave because he intended to find Professor Meng Xi, who was said to hail from the mysterious Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.


    The First Hospital of Dongda University was not far from the Provincial Second Hospital. Chen Cang went there early, as it was akin to seeking guidance and mentorship; thus, it was better to arrive earlier.


    By the time Chen Cang reached the cardiovascular surgery department of the First Hospital of Dongda University, it was only twenty past seven. He wandered the corridor, holding the signed approval form in his hand.


    The hospital corridor displayed a staff list, and Chen Cang saw Meng Xi¡¯s name ranked third.


    The first name was Xia Gaofeng, the chief director of cardiovascular surgery, and the second was Zhou Qiwen, the deputy director.


    Reading this staff wall, Chen Cang gained a general understanding of the cardiovascular surgery department at Dongda Hospital.


    This was a department with historical depth and very strong comprehensive capabilities. It had a clear hierarchical structure of old, middle-aged, and young generations, and a proper ratio of medical to nursing staff.


    The First Hospital of Dongda University ranked among the top three hospitals in Dongyang Province for its comprehensive strength. Not that it wasn¡¯t as good as Provincial People¡¯s Hospital or Dongda Second Hospital, but the rankings changed yearly, so no one could consistently claim the top spot. In comparison, Chen Cang still thought the Provincial Second Hospital was awesome. No matter which rankings came out each year, the Provincial Second Hospital was always securely in the tenth position, without a trace of ambiguity.


    The Hospital affiliated with Traditional Chinese Medicine University, ranking eleventh, could never catch up to Provincial Second Hospital, and each year the latter couldn¡¯t overtake the city¡¯s People¡¯s Hospital, which was perennially ninth. Hence, their positions remained as stable as Mount Tai.


    At half past seven, accompanied by the nearly sixty-year-old Xia Gaofeng striding into the office, the shift handover officially began.


    Chen Cang, who was eavesdropping from outside, was taken aback!


    Impressive!


    They¡¯re using Engligh during the handover?


    This display of professionalism momentarily stunned Chen Cang; they were actually using English for the shift handover!


    Very high-end, indeed.


    In fact, this was not uncommon in the medical community. Chen Cang had been to many hospitals where English was used for the shift handover, but it was usually just a set phrase that could be memorized.


    But inside, it was not the case!


    The handover was conducted entirely in English, and this garnered Chen Cang¡¯s profound respect.


    These were experts¡­


    The handover lasted for over ten minutes, giving everyone some understanding of the patients¡¯ conditions from the previous night. They then discussed the cases and a doctor reported on a new surgical approach for aortic dissection from a paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine.


    The entire shift handover and reporting process was in English, and to be honest, it deeply impressed Chen Cang.


    This would be overwhelming for an average doctor, let alone adapting to this rhythm and level!


    No wonder the First Hospital of Dongda University now requires doctors to have a PhD as a minimum qualification and gives priority to overseas graduates. It¡¯s not to disparage other schools, but if you came to this hospital, you might not be able to keep up.


    At this time, several men and women about Chen Cang¡¯s age stood at the door, all wearing white lab coats of the First Hospital of Dongda University. They were likely research and residency students from the hospital.


    In groups, they discussed what was happening inside, not showing much curiosity towards Chen Cang, who stood to one side. This was the time when graduate students started their term, and those who came here were mainly looking for their mentors. Everyone was used to it by now.


    At eight o¡¯clock, the office door opened and nurses poured out. Chen Cang stepped back to keep a distance.


    After everyone had left, Chen Cang entered the office.


    Glancing around the room, his gaze immediately locked onto a woman.


    Meng Xi.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    There was no mistake, even dressed in a professional white lab coat, she stood out in the crowd.


    The first impression Chen Cang had should have been that of a clean-cut, strong-willed woman.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath and walked forward, having come all this way, why be nervous?


    Just as he approached, Chen Cang nodded slightly and bowed, ¡°Good morning, Professor Meng, I¡¯m Chen Cang, this year¡¯s research student, and I would like to become your student.¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang spoke, the room suddenly fell silent¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    What had happened?


    Why had everything gone quiet?


    Chen Cang raised his head slightly and saw Meng Xi put down the things she was holding.


    Meng Xi looked Chen Cang over and said indifferently, ¡°Please, have a seat.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Thank you, teacher.¡±


    After taking his seat respectfully, Chen Cang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in the quiet office.


    This period of time, since June, many students had come to seek out Meng Xi, in an endless stream, but as they came and went, gradually there were not many people left.


    The doctors in the department suddenly saw someone who was unafraid to die, still full of interest, looking forward to being able to spar a few more rounds under Professor Meng.


    On Monday morning, the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery traditionally did not schedule surgeries, except for emergencies. After a weekend, everyone needed to organize some patient records and materials, and surgeries would gradually begin to be scheduled in the afternoon.


    Meng Xi had realized something during this time: if she did not take on any students herself, she would definitely be assigned one in the end, that was certain.


    Rather than that, it would be better to choose a student she found relatively pleasing to the eye, someone she could work with comfortably.


    When Chen Cang came to greet her, Meng Xi nodded to herself internally; he was a sunny and handsome young man who approached her openly, and most importantly, she had seen him standing at the door before even arriving at her office, having come almost an hour early.


    Meng Xi was a person with a strong sense of time, very self-disciplined, strict with herself, and would never put off today¡¯s work until tomorrow.


    Chen Cang¡¯s early arrival today had made a good impression on Meng Xi, and coupled with his pleasant demeanor, overall, he had a bonus point compared to others.


    Meng Xi smiled slightly, ¡°You don¡¯t need to be so nervous, how old are you this year?¡±


    Chen Cang answered honestly, ¡°Twenty-seven.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded thoughtfully, ¡°At twenty-seven, you started working and then became a graduate student, you have work experience, right?¡±


    Chen Cang hummed in acknowledgment, ¡°After graduating, I worked in the emergency department at the provincial hospital for almost three years.¡±


    Hearing the whole sentence, Meng Xi nodded, ¡°How is your English?¡±


    She asked not only because she expected her students to have a high level of English proficiency but also to assess Chen Cang¡¯s learning ability¡ªfew people who start working are still willing to learn English afterwards.


    And with medical frontiers generally published in English journals, it was essential to use English as a language tool.


    Meng Xi wanted to find out whether Chen Cang¡¯s learning had ever stopped.


    This question was very important.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Not bad.¡±


    At that, Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡°`

    Chapter 193: Chapter 194: Chen Cang is Awesome! (Please Subscribe)


    Coming to the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery was something Qian Lin was reluctant to do. Who knows why his uncle insisted that he seek mentorship from the she-devil!


    Everyone knows that Meng Xi is a typical sadomasochist!


    Being her student, Qian Lin really didn¡¯t know how long his body, weighing over 190 pounds, could hold up.


    Others lose weight studying medicine, while he gains it!


    He gained more than twenty pounds after getting into a graduate program¡ªwho was there to reason with?


    If it weren¡¯t for his total score of 410, which really left others speechless, his uncle would definitely think he wasn¡¯t studying properly, secretly lazing around and getting fat!


    Qian Lin stood outside the door of the cardiothoracic surgery office, feeling anxious. He was an undergraduate at Dongyang Medical University and interned at this hospital¡ªhe knew this place like the back of his hand!


    During his internship, he had the luck of rotating into the cardiothoracic surgery department and was assigned to Meng Xi. From that day until the end of the second month, Qian Lin lost more than twenty pounds. If it hadn¡¯t been for getting into a graduate program, he would have had a hard time returning to his peak condition.


    Thinking of Meng Xi¡¯s chilling laugh sent shivers down Qian Lin¡¯s spine¡­


    He didn¡¯t know whether his uncle was crazy or what, but he insisted on letting Qian Lin try to become Meng Xi¡¯s student.


    But, although it was tiring, he did learn a lot quickly. His 410 point score for the graduate entrance exam couldn¡¯t have been achieved without the strong support of an 86 in English, all thanks to the she-devil Meng Xi.


    Qian Lin took a deep breath, steadied his spirit, and with a tragic resolve of heading to the execution ground, he pushed the door open!


    Once inside, he wondered why the air around him seemed to have frozen.


    Many doctors weren¡¯t working and were staring at¡­ what Meng Xi was watching?


    Qian Lin paused, sighed, and felt he should report to his deputy dean uncle that the cardiothoracic surgeons weren¡¯t working properly during office hours and were watching Meng Xi instead.


    They should transfer Meng Xi away so she wouldn¡¯t affect everyone¡¯s work efficiency.


    Right!


    Qian Lin believed it was all Meng Xi¡¯s fault. After all, everyone here was brought up by their own parents, so just because you¡¯re good-looking, you think you¡¯re in the right?


    If you looked like me, would anyone be in the mood to watch you?


    Thinking this, Qian Lin¡¯s resentment towards Meng Xi grew even greater: detrimental to the perfect construction of the department¡¯s spirit!


    However, as Qian Lin was preparing to continue walking, he suddenly halted the foot he had lifted and put it back down, as he noticed a man sitting in front of Meng Xi!


    Qian Lin immediately melted back into the crowd of white coats and asked a graduate student next to him, ¡°Senior, who is that guy?¡±


    The man looked at Chen Cang with respect and said, ¡°He¡¯s here to get a signature from Teacher Meng, looking for Teacher Meng to be his graduate supervisor!¡±


    Upon hearing this!


    Qian Lin felt his heart trembling with excitement, causing his fleshy body to resonate!


    Awesome!


    Brother, you must be an angel sent by God to rescue a wretch like Qian from the direst straits.


    You must go through Meng¡¯s three questions!


    Hang in there!


    Qian here is cheering for you!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When Meng Xi heard Chen Cang say his English was passable, he smiled, nodded, and asked, ¡°You heard the shift handover just now, didn¡¯t you? We admitted a few patients last night, which bed had an adverse reaction, how was it treated, and then what was shared after the handover?¡±


    At Meng Xi¡¯s first question!


    Qian Lin almost jumped up!


    You schemer, Meng Xi!


    Such a tricky first question, you¡¯re definitely doing this on purpose! It¡¯s just a grad school exam, and you¡¯re making someone translate SCI papers? Has your conscience been devoured by your chest?


    Thinking this, Qian Lin cynically stared at Meng Xi, yet didn¡¯t dare to look too conspicuously, in case the demoness noticed and scrapped his days off. After all, this female demon had been eyeing him for a long time, and the way she looked at him was like¡­ a ravenous tiger! Pulling him to work all day long; damn it, I, Qian Lin, can¡¯t withstand such treatment, even if I weighed three or five hundred pounds!


    Having this thought, Qian Lin shrank his head back and inwardly cheered for Chen Cang, fearing that once he fell into the demonic clutches, the next three years would be like the deluxe package of eighteen levels of hell.


    Not just Qian Lin, even the surrounding doctors felt Meng Xi was being a bit hard on Chen Cang. Those capable of answering such a question either had been in their own department for more than half a year or had overseas experience like studying aboard.


    Another budding flower about to be crushed by Director Meng¡­


    Chen Cang took a moment to recall: ¡°Last night, bed number 12 suddenly developed low cardiac output syndrome at 3 a.m., accompanied by persistent low blood pressure, narrowed pulse pressure, signs of insufficient tissue perfusion, and oliguria. Doctor He was on call last night, suspected left ventricular underload due to postoperative low-level urination, and finally administered diuretic and vasodilators along with volume repletion therapy. By 5 a.m., the patient¡¯s condition had stabilized, and everything returned to normal!¡±


    No sooner had Chen Cang finished speaking!


    All the doctors on the scene were stunned!


    This kid, impressive, huh?


    Standing in the back, Qian Lin stamped his foot in excitement, nearly moved to tears: ¡°Awesome! Brother, you¡¯re really something, truly my savior, Qian Lin. I¡¯ll be completely open with you in the days to come!¡±


    The graduate students were dumbfounded, even feeling ashamed¡­


    Is this guy really just an undergraduate?


    His English level is better than ours by three small mother cows¡­


    However, at this moment, Chen Cang continued:


    ¡°The paper that was shared earlier, if I¡¯m not mistaken, should be about a new type of surgical treatment plan for heart and major blood vessel aortic dissection and regarding the prevention of intraoperative complications. It discussed Professor Morel-Camille¡¯s findings based on over 160 aortic dissection patients¡­ The results showed p


    Chen Cang¡¯s words truly impressed everyone present.


    To be honest, everybody here has a doctoral degree from prestigious schools, including some overseas talents. It¡¯s one thing for us to understand it, but Chen Cang is just a student about to enter grad school. Isn¡¯t his performance incredibly outstanding?


    Qian Lin clenched his fists, thinking, Meng Xi, if you don¡¯t accept this guy today, even if I served you, I would not be convinced¡­


    This young man is too excellent!


    At this thought, Qian Lin couldn¡¯t help but clap his hands and cheer: ¡°Well done! Impressive!¡±


    A graduate student brother beside him was taken aback, looked at Qian Lin, and asked softly, ¡°He got everything right? Is he that amazing?¡±


    Qian Lin was stunned: ¡°How would I know, I didn¡¯t understand a word! But judging by his confidence, he must have nailed it!¡±


    Indeed, he didn¡¯t understand, but that didn¡¯t stop him from applauding!


    The few graduate students were left speechless and aghast.


    But although Meng Xi¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change, she couldn¡¯t help feeling delighted inside. Not bad, this kid!

 Chapter 194 - Chapter 194: Chapter 195: Banana Mud Seat Man PK (Extra chapter for monthly votes +1!)

    Chapter 194: Chapter 195: Banana Mud Seat Man PK (Extra chapter for monthly votes +1!)


    Chen Cang finally noticed some sounds around him and let out a sigh.


    ¡°What kind of department is this?¡±


    Emergency at Provincial Hospital No. 2 was better, listening to Qian¡¯er¡¯s bragging every day, hearing the little brown-noser shouting ¡°666¡±, directing Wang Yong to write medical records¡ªthat¡¯s the kind of work environment a doctor should have.


    Look at them here, each one¡­


    Meng Xi nodded, ¡°Hmm, not bad.¡±


    When Qian Lin heard this, he immediately took a deep breath. This she-devil actually praised someone?


    Rare indeed.


    Every time he worked overtime, the most he got was, ¡°How can you be so dumb?¡±


    That phrase lingered in Qian Lin¡¯s ears for several months, giving him a sense of defeat!


    It wasn¡¯t until the postgraduate entrance exam results came out, and he ranked first in the medical field, that this sense of defeat gradually faded.


    He really hadn¡¯t expected the she-devil Meng to praise someone!


    The doctors around were all exchanging glances; indeed, it was rare to see Director Meng praise someone. This situation was truly unusual.


    But this young man was really impressive; his English listening skills were definitely top-notch.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been working clinically for three years now, do you know all the basic procedures?¡± Meng Xi actually already felt very satisfied with Chen Cang. Based on his English proficiency alone, to be honest, there were not many people who could achieve that.


    Just now in the paper, there were many professional terms, some of which were even rare words in the surgical field. With Chen Cang¡¯s translation, Meng Xi could assess many things, mainly the attitude towards academic papers and that unceasing learning attitude.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I know a little about basic clinical operations. But I haven¡¯t dealt with cardiothoracic surgery.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, ¡°Oh¡­ Do you know how to do vascular suturing?¡±


    Chen Cang originally thought he should give an honest answer, that he was quite proficient, but considering that this was a cardiothoracic surgery department, an area constantly dealing with blood vessels, he still felt he should be conservative: ¡°Hmm, I know a bit.¡±


    Meng Xi looked up and glanced at the doctors around her. The doctors immediately turned their heads and started scribbling in their medical records.


    Meng Xi pointed to a man and said, ¡°Doctor Ge, go and get some models and suture materials.¡±


    The man known as Doctor Ge quickly got up, ¡°Okay, Director Meng.¡±


    Meng Xi, only thirty, was already an associate director, and the cardiothoracic surgery department was divided into groups. There were three groups, each led by a team leader, and Meng Xi was one of them. The three team leaders took turns managing the groups. In short, Meng Xi was the superior doctor to all of them, not to mention her rank, and she was also highly capable.


    Hence, everyone respected this ¡®young Director Meng¡¯, who was even younger than some of them.


    Before long, Ge Huai came in with suture materials and models. These were common practice tools in surgery, mainly used for practicing the vascular suturing technique, an essential skill in cardiothoracic surgery¡ªthe most basic and most important.


    So, whenever there was a free moment, everyone would grab them and stitch a few sutures.


    Xia Gaofeng also regularly held these small-scale suturing competitions in the department, evaluating the speed and density of the sutures.


    Meng Xi said to Chen Cang, ¡°Come on, suture this and let me see. Thirty stitches, I want to see how long it takes you.¡±


    These were two model segments mimicking the width of the aorta.


    After finishing, Meng Xi glanced thoughtfully at Ge Huai and smiled, ¡°Doctor Ge, why don¡¯t you compete with this young doctor and see who¡¯s faster?¡±


    As soon as she said this, the others looked at Chen Cang with a somewhat teasing look.


    Doctor Ge was young, only thirty-five, in his prime, and often took first place in the department¡¯s vascular suturing competitions, highly regarded by Xia Gaofeng.


    Just as Ge Huai hesitated, Xia Gaofeng suddenly walked in, looking with interest at the scene.


    He chuckled, ¡°Little Ge, why don¡¯t you practice with the young doctor?¡±


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system notification sound!


    [Ding! PK task activated, defeat Ge Huai to randomly obtain an item or a Skill Book from Ge Huai!]


    Chen Cang chose to accept!


    PK task.


    It looked thrilling.


    Chen Cang knew he was fast, but he had never compared with other men to see who was faster!


    Therefore, Chen Cang looked up and glanced at the somewhat lean Ge Huai, filled with intense interest.


    At this, once the competition was mentioned, everyone became excited.


    Qian Lin was like a fat cat, squeezing through the crowd, finally making it into the mix.


    He looked at Chen Cang with excitement, muttering to himself, ¡°Come on, brother, come on, my happiness depends on you.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng walked over slowly, sizing up Chen Cang, ¡°Young man, give it a try, there¡¯s no shame in losing, the person before you is the core strength of our department.¡±


    After speaking, he looked at Ge Huai, ¡°Ge Huai, show this young man what you¡¯ve got, give him some motivation!¡±


    Surgery is not the same as internal medicine.


    Just like martial arts training, PKs are common, ranging from competing over how many surgical knots one can tie within a minute to simulating special surgical skills¡ªcomparisons are everywhere.


    And this kind of competition is positive, constantly breaking through one¡¯s own limits through comparison and reaching new heights.


    That is the ultimate goal!


    Xia Gaofeng didn¡¯t want to embarrass Chen Cang; his main intention was to show Chen Cang the direction to work hard toward.


    Amid the talk, Xia Gaofeng smiled, ¡°Come on, who¡¯s going to keep time? I¡¯ll count down from 3-2-1, start!¡±


    At this moment, Xia Gaofeng¡¯s graduate student hurried over with a phone, ¡°I¡¯ll keep time!¡±


    Chen Cang and Ge Huai exchanged a light smile, then slowly picked up the needle holders.


    The graduate student behind them then began to say, ¡°Doctor Ge, remember to break the record, yeah!¡±


    Ge Huai held the record for being the fastest in the department, with a record of 30 stitches in 2 minutes and 50 seconds.


    Ge Huai smiled and picked up the needle holder, ready to teach this youngster a lesson.


    There actually wasn¡¯t any suspense in the outcome of this competition, one was the new force of Dongda First Hospital¡¯s Cardiothoracic Surgery, the fastest at suturing, and the other was an emergency doctor just getting ready to become a graduate student.


    Compared to the result of the competition, everyone was more focused on whether Ge Huai could break his record.


    Meanwhile, Meng Xi and Xia Gaofeng observed Chen Cang holding the needle holder in his hands, thoughtful; those hands¡­ so steady!


    Ordinary people might not notice these details, but Meng Xi knew just how important a pair of hands, steady as Mount Tai, was to a surgeon.


    With a thoughtful look, Xia Gaofeng glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°3¡ª2¡ª1, start!¡±


    No sooner had he spoken than Chen Cang hesitated slightly.


    Because Director Xia¡¯s voice in his ear almost startled him into trembling hands.


    With that momentary hesitation, Ge Huai had already started suturing at high speed!


    Seeing this, Chen Cang began his operation, calm and unhurried.


    If the bigwigs from Second Provincial Hospital were here, they would surely sigh and say, ¡°Ah, there goes Chen Cang, humbling others again.¡±

 Chapter 196 - Chapter 196: Chapter 197: Special Medical Record! (Seeking monthly ticket)

    Chapter 196: Chapter 197: Special Medical Record! (Seeking monthly ticket)


    Chen Cang could never have imagined that even goodwill points could drop; it seems PK really is the prime choice for reaching the pinnacle of life.


    At this moment, Chen Cang noticed that Teacher Meng¡¯s gaze toward him had become a bit softer and more longing¡­


    Wait a minute!


    Chen Cang slammed on the brakes!


    He actually saw longing in Teacher Meng Xi¡¯s eyes???


    Chen Cang paused, took a deep breath, and quickly shook his head, forcing himself to calm down; after all, this was not like being at home watching ¡°tutor/teacher series¡± movies¡ªhow could he entertain such wicked thoughts.


    Meng Xi looked at the aorta mold meticulously sutured in her hand and also felt a little sentimental; this young man really had talent.


    At this thought, Meng Xi didn¡¯t even realize that her heart had grown a few degrees warmer toward Chen Cang.


    Even the way she looked at Chen Cang had softened.


    [Meng Xi, a female doctor pursuing perfection and self-discipline, goodwill points: 5.]


    After careful analysis, Chen Cang concluded that it must be an adverse reaction from the [goodwill points +5], and he was probably overthinking it.


    Ge Huai also finally breathed a sigh of relief; if Chen Cang had really sutured better and faster than him, he would definitely have some thoughts inside, not jealousy, but a sense of defeat.


    Jealousy mainly arises from the same platform and level, while a sense of defeat comes from dimensional strike!


    While others perform a downgrade attack, Chen Cang¡¯s is an upgrade attack!


    Chen Cang is just a young man about to take the postgraduate entrance exam, whereas Ge Huai is a senior attending physician who has been involved in cardiac surgery for a long time.


    If Zhang Zhixin saw this scene, he would definitely tweet in Ge Huai¡¯s face, ¡°I¡¯m nearly forty and Tian Tian get hit by this guy, what¡¯s this got to do with you.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng suddenly felt some regret; if only he had called the research department earlier to secure a spot for himself!


    After all, seeing such an outstanding young man, Xia Gaofeng really developed a fondness for talent!


    They say that for every great racehorse, there is a great horseman, but who could resist a steed like Chen Cang? You see, even Meng Xi, who is so proud, wants to ride¡­ no, wants him!


    At Dongyang Medical University, the selection of postgraduate mentors is quite strict; generally, it requires an associate senior professional title or above, more than three core journal papers in the recent three years, and at least one project at the provincial or national level within three years to be eligible for the selection of mentor qualifications.


    There is only an upper age limit, not a lower one, but¡­ to become a mentor at thirty like Meng Xi is extraordinarily rare.


    Those over 57 years old are not considered, as Dongyang Medical University sets an upper limit and does not allow them to mentor postgraduates. After all, it takes students three years to graduate, and if you retire before they do, it¡¯s not fair to the students.


    Of course, these conditions do not apply to everyone; many can enjoy special considerations, such as provincial or national-level distinguished doctors, Yangtze River Scholars, and so on¡­


    Xia Gaofeng himself is a distinguished provincial doctor, receives a special allowance from the State Council, but with age, his energy is not what it was, and mentoring postgraduates, often having to apply for projects and such, is tiring, so he did not sign up.


    Now, watching Chen Cang, he really felt some regret!


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang, pondered for a moment, and made a decision, to take him, right!


    Hmm!


    A very nice young man, with good overall conditions, and at this time, Meng Xi decided in her heart to sign for Chen Cang.


    ¡°Doctor Ge, Bed 51 suddenly started convulsing!¡±


    With an urgent summons coming from the nurses¡¯ station, Meng Xi, who was about to speak, hesitated briefly and quickly got up to follow Ge Huai out.


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned.


    How could there be convulsing patients in cardiac surgery?


    Xia Gaofeng looked down at Chen Cang, ¡°Young man, your teacher has gone to see the patient, aren¡¯t you going to follow and have a look?¡±


    Chen Cang hurriedly stood up, ¡°Thank you, Director.¡±


    Having said that, he followed them out.


    After Xia Gaofeng had spoken, he turned around and, seeing the rotating trainees and postgraduate students in the department, couldn¡¯t help but sigh. These students¡¯ minds weren¡¯t on learning, ignoring such a good learning opportunity. In their own student days, they would have rushed out to see a special case already.


    Now that the learning conditions have improved and the channels of study have broadened, providing students with more opportunities to practice, but still¡­


    Xia Gaofeng, watching a few students either tearing up lab reports or sitting around chatting, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Stop tearing up lab reports. Go and observe patients, study the diseases more. This might be a special case that you do not get to see very often. Don¡¯t just hang around the department without a clue, holding books and not wanting to do anything, just tearing up lab reports all day long.¡±


    A few postgraduate students awkwardly stood up, nodded reluctantly, shoving each other, dragging their feet as they followed them out.


    Seeing this scene, Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but sigh again.


    Ge Huai was a bit anxious, walking toward Bed 51. They were supposed to arrange surgery for the patient this afternoon, how could they suddenly start convulsing?


    Thinking of this, Ge Huai was also full of confusion.


    In fact, patients are like this, never playing by the rules, and even due to special circumstances, about one-third of clinical cases get their surgery delayed or postponed.


    A perfectly arranged surgery can be suddenly cancelled upon finding abnormal fluctuations in laboratory indicators because there are already various emergencies that can occur during surgery, and any abnormal indicator can increase the risk factors.


    Chen Cang, following behind Meng Xi, noticed that this woman walked incredibly fast, with her long legs moving briskly. If he hadn¡¯t trained in emergency, he would have had trouble keeping up!


    As she walked, Meng Xi asked, ¡°What¡¯s the patient¡¯s condition?¡±


    Ge Huai, diligent and responsible in his work, was also very familiar with the patient¡¯s condition.


    ¡°The patient is male, Uyghur, 30 years old, repeating episodes of palpitations and chest oppression for four years, worsening over the past week, admitted to our hospital three days ago.¡±


    ¡°Four years ago, without any obvious cause, he experienced palpitations and uncomfortable chest oppression during moderate activities and exertion, accompanied by weakness and sweating. The local People¡¯s Hospital diagnosed him with coronary heart disease, heart failure, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Treatment alleviated the symptoms, but they worsened a week ago. After admission, cardiac color Doppler ultrasonography showed enlargement of all cardiac chambers, weakened movement of the left ventricular wall, EF24%, and suspected dilated cardiomyopathy.¡±


    Meng Xi frowned slightly, ¡°The patient from Friday¡­ Have you checked the physiological and biochemical lab indices?¡±


    Ge Huai replied, ¡°The medical orders were placed on Friday; the results should be out. I haven¡¯t seen them yet; I¡¯ll get the lab report.¡±


    Having said this, Ge Huai hurried out the door.


    ¡°Go get me the patient¡¯s medical chart,¡± Meng Xi said to Chen Cang after a moment of contemplation.


    Chen Cang nodded and immediately ran out.


    Familiar with the terrain, not feeling like a stranger at all¡ªafter all, every hospital is more or less the same.

 Chapter 198 - Chapter 198: Chapter 199: Hidden Occupation, So Tempting! (Seeking monthly passes!)

    Chapter 198: Chapter 199: Hidden Occupation, So Tempting! (Seeking monthly passes!)


    A few students standing against the wall corner couldn¡¯t help but steady themselves on the wall, their eyes fixed intently on Chen Cang, then thought better of it and let go of the wall!


    They don¡¯t even need the wall to stand, just respect you!


    You frickin¡¯ show off, and you even got the department head to play your straight man!


    Behind the door of the ward stood a little fatty of almost 200 pounds, who was Qian Lin. After much deliberation, he still didn¡¯t dare to enter, listening intently to what was happening inside and his heart was filled with excitement!


    This brother is awesome!


    Proficient in language, math, and foreign affairs. (Language refers to foreign languages, math refers to logic, chemistry, and mathematics, and foreign affairs to surgical operations.)


    Impressive, impressive!


    I, Qian, am finally not on the mind of this she-devil anymore. Peering through the crack of the door at Ge Huai¡¯s distraught face, Qian Lin couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief. With a she-devil as a superior, if you¡¯re not subdued, who is?


    With that thought, Qian Lin inevitably felt some sympathy for Chen Cang.


    After all, a promising young man with a good head on his shoulders, but with faulty thinking, actually following the she-devil.


    Thinking this, Qian Lin sighed and decided to wait a bit longer!


    Wait for the she-devil to sign her name before leaving, then go and tell Uncle that Director Meng already has a student, and this person is especially awesome, even more capable than oneself.


    At this moment, Meng Xi was moved, the capabilities of this student had seriously exceeded her expectations!


    Even Meng Xi wondered if she had the skills like Chen Cang when she was younger?


    At this time, Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Little Meng, if you don¡¯t want to recruit students, then pass this young man to me!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll shamelessly ask the graduate department for an extra quota! Honestly, I haven¡¯t seen such an outstanding young person for a long time, with a boundless future. By the way, young man, what¡¯s your name?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Chen Cang, as in the vast vicissitudes of the ocean and the fields.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xia Gaofeng exclaimed, ¡°Good! Great name!¡±


    The many resident doctors: What¡¯s so good about it!?


    Xia Gaofeng continued, ¡°You are already working, right? At which hospital? Which department?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°I¡¯m currently at the Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s Emergency Department.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng was taken aback, ¡°Oh? The department where Director Li Baoshan is?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, it seemed that Director Li had a reputation in the province.


    Xia Gaofeng nodded slightly: ¡°Not bad, not bad!¡±


    [Ding! Xia Gaofeng¡¯s favorability +10.]


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The patient¡¯s condition stabilized, and everybody then returned to the office.


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang, although happy inside, she kept a calm expression: ¡°Why did you choose me?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­¡­


    In broad daylight, why on earth are you spouting nonsense as a teacher?


    When did I hug you?


    Even if I wanted to, I wouldn¡¯t dare!


    Seeing Chen Cang not speaking, Meng Xi continued to ask, ¡°Why did you choose me as your teacher?¡±


    Chen Cang finally understood and gave an awkward laugh, ¡°My research abilities are inadequate. I think one of the most important differences between graduate and undergraduate students is the gap in research capabilities. Graduate students should learn to research, to understand scientific research. I¡¯ve read your articles, Director Meng, and you¡¯re really amazing in this field; I think I can learn a lot from you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi nodded slightly, ¡°Give it here.¡±


    Chen Cang hurriedly handed over the advisor signature form.


    Meng Xi swiftly signed her own name.


    Chen Cang was elated, ¡°Thank you, Teacher!¡±


    [Ding! Hidden task, ¡®Becoming Meng Xi¡¯s Disciple¡¯ completed!]


    [Congratulations! You have obtained the inheritance: Disciple of Meng Xi.]


    [Opening Meng Xi¡¯s skill library¡­]


    [Meng Xi¡¯s Skill Library, expend favorability to unlock new skills. Reminder: Different skills require different levels of favorability to exchange, complete master missions to gain favorability.]


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded¡­


    I tm¡­


    I frickin¡¯ worked so hard and you give me this as a reward?


    Expend favorability to exchange for skills?


    This is what they call a hidden task?


    This is what they call a hidden profession?


    Meng Xi is only about 30, how many skills could she possibly have?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang felt like he wanted to cry but had no tears; he couldn¡¯t believe that he had foolishly taken the trouble to get rid of his own graduate student advisor.


    Can I¡­ can I return it?


    I don¡¯t want her anymore!


    Can I change teachers?


    With that thought, Chen Cang suddenly felt that women are trampling pigs, and you shouldn¡¯t trust appearances, the prettier the woman, the deeper they harm!


    After being filled with countless emotions¡­


    Chen Cang forced himself to calm down; he was terrified that a moment of irrationality could make the last remaining 5 goodwill points that Teacher Meng had for him disappear without a trace.


    Isn¡¯t this just the same as selling oneself for glory?


    Using goodwill points to obtain skills, the system really came up with that one.


    I¡¯m apprenticing, not selling my body!


    I, Chen Cang, swear right here! I¡¯ll never be a bootlicker, even if it kills me!


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang and said, ¡°I¡¯ve got something else going on today. You can go back first. Oh, and leave me your WeChat and phone number.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, exchanged contact information, then got up and left.


    Sitting on the bus, Chen Cang still felt somewhat stifled.


    After a lot of thought, Chen Cang decided to have a look at Meng Xi¡¯s skill library.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang immediately opened the skill library.


    He was stunned!


    Chen Cang discovered that Meng Xi¡¯s skill library actually had three different directional skill trees.


    [External Skill Tree]


    [Internal Skill Tree]


    [Scientific Research Skill Tree]


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva, cautiously opening the External Skill Tree, and he was dumbfounded. He saw that the tree was laden with fruit, each one glowing with a purple hue¡ªthese were clearly purple skills!


    And, occasionally, Chen Cang could see some fruits glistening with a golden light!


    This¡­ This must be perfect-level skills, right?


    Isn¡¯t this just too awesome?


    Chen Cang was somewhat taken aback.


    Is Meng Xi really that powerful?


    To possess this vast number of skills?!


    [Ding! Meng Xi is the carrier of a profession. Apprenticing under Meng Xi allows you to obtain a hidden profession; the skills are irrelevant to Meng Xi.]


    Chen Cang understood the situation now.


    While he was apprenticing under Meng Xi, these skills were not Meng Xi¡¯s.


    He was merely using Meng Xi to acquire these skills.


    With this realization, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but get excited.


    But¡­


    How to spend goodwill points to gain skills?


    [Ding! A level 1 skill requires 20 goodwill points to unlock, each exchange consumes 10 goodwill points, and once successfully obtained, the skill will directly become a purple skill. A level 2 skill requires 40 goodwill points to unlock, each exchange consumes 20 goodwill points; level 3 skills need 60 points, with each exchange consuming 30 points; level 4 skills require 80 goodwill points to unlock, and each exchange will consume 40 points.]


    Chen Cang was flabbergasted.


    Does this mean I don¡¯t need to upgrade skills?


    Direct exchange and it¡¯s a purple skill?


    Isn¡¯t this too strong?


    Is this the benefit of a hidden profession?


    Thinking of this, he felt that everything was too unreal, too fake; a hidden profession could directly grant purple skills!


    The feeling was wickedly satisfying!


    Moreover, Chen Cang had come to see things clearly.


    To get skills!


    You¡¯ve got to win over Teacher Meng¡¯s goodwill points!


    I have to play the bootlicker for Teacher Meng, don¡¯t I?


    The better the bootlicking, the higher the return!


    Chen Cang took a deep breath.


    He thought about a lot.


    He thought about the distant future¡­


    He thought about whether the kids should go to Elliston Elementary School or to the daycare in the village.


    This profession would be so suitable for little bootlicker Qin Yue. If she apprenticed under me, she would definitely empty my skill library!


    However, thinking about the wealthy women around him, it seemed like he had quite a high level of their goodwill.


    So¡­


    I should have an advantage in increasing the goodwill of the wealthy, shouldn¡¯t I?


    At this thought, Chen Cang suddenly felt that this hidden profession was desirable!


    Never be a bootlicker? Ha!


    Oh boy¡­ It¡¯s actually so appealing!

 Chapter 204 - Chapter 204: Chapter 205: Saliva is Poisonous! (Please Vote for Monthly Ticket haha)

    Chapter 204: Chapter 205: Saliva is Poisonous! (Please Vote for Monthly Ticket haha)


    ¡°Give me the scalpel!¡±


    Yuan Yuan, watching Chen Cang¡¯s outstretched hands, couldn¡¯t help but blush and quickly nodded her head.


    Indeed, as they had said, such large, slender hands¡ªwhat size of gloves would he need?


    And¡­ was he really that fast?


    Thinking this, Kong Yuanyuan was filled with immense anticipation for the surgery.


    Although it was her first time in surgery with Chen Cang, the legend of this master had already spread far and wide.


    You see, the operating room is where gossip and news spread fastest, and Chen Cang has been a hot topic there lately.


    He¡¯s even become the object of daydreams for the numerous young and middle-aged female staff in the operating room.


    Especially during the night shifts, when it¡¯s deep into the quiet night with no surgeries, to drive away the gloomy fear from the operation rooms, these women like to talk about men with masculine energy to boost their spirits.


    Any nurse who had witnessed Chen Cang¡¯s surgeries would always come back to gossip, providing conversation topics for others at bedtime.


    ¡°Chen Cang is incredible. One time, Zhou Xiaodong couldn¡¯t proceed with the surgery after starting, but when Chen Cang stepped in, he neatly solved the problem in no time at all. He¡¯s really impressive!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s nothing. You didn¡¯t hear about the time in Operating Room 3 when we had a crucial surgery that required rapid suturing of blood vessels. You have no idea about Doctor Chen¡¯s hand speed. He has to have been single for at least a hundred and eighty years to develop such speed!¡±


    ¡°That night, Chen Cang turned the tide and saved Dean Fang. Honestly, it was so impressive¡­!¡±


    Kong Yuanyuan looked at Chen Cang. Was he really that impressive?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Following layer by layer of incisions.


    Chen Cang entered the chest cavity, and the real surgery began.


    Although it was only just five or six hours in, there was already a slight accumulation of pleural effusion.


    ¡°Suction!¡±


    Wang Yong nodded, took the suction device, and began the operation carefully.


    Chen Cang¡¯s fingers were very slender and his movements were light.


    The esophagus was exposed in front of everyone, and Liu Jian, who was in the distance, felt worried and did not leave the operating room.


    Ever since Liu Jian had come in, he had been fretting internally.


    How long had Chen Cang been performing thoracic surgeries?


    In the Emergency Department, let alone Chen Cang, even Director Li Baoshan had never engaged in thoracic surgery.


    Being the prot¨¦g¨¦ of Old Chen, Liu Jian had some understanding of Chen Cang.


    And it was because of this understanding that he was even more concerned about potential complications.


    Once the esophagus was exposed, Xiao He stood there: ¡°Chen, it¡¯s in the fourth intercostal space on the chest, toward the back at about the 2 o¡¯clock position.¡±


    Liu Jian couldn¡¯t help but remind him, ¡°Be careful, Chen. The vagus nerve is quite complex.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded without a word, carefully dissecting the esophagus.


    The process went smoothly, with no complications.


    After flipping it over, the wound was exposed.


    ¡°Micro tweezers¡±


    ¡°Scissors¡±


    ¡°Hemostatic gauze¡±


    ¡°Saline¡±


    Kong Yuanyuan quickly nodded and passed them over one by one.


    Chen Cang received the tweezers and scissors.


    He extended the slit in the muscular layer of the esophagus upward and downward until he exposed the area where the mucosa was ruptured.


    This operation made Xiao He involuntarily swallow.


    A bit nervous¡­


    He was just about to question why Chen Cang was enlarging the wound when he realized the reason!


    ¡°Number four silk thread¡±


    The time for suturing had arrived.


    Because the esophagus had mucosal damage already, it wouldn¡¯t be wise to merely suture the muscular layer without paying attention.


    ¡°`


    Simply put, after suturing, it will not be stable!


    Even later on, the mucosa that was already ulcerated can continue to be damaged, leading to secondary destruction of the esophagus, and by then, treatment will become troublesome!


    Others may not understand this, but Xiao He himself works with endoscopes and is very familiar with the physiological and anatomical structures of the esophagus.


    The set of maneuvers Chen Cang just used to clip the wound was really eye-catching!


    In this way, the ulcerated esophagus can be sutured without causing narrowing due to the wound area being too small.


    Thinking of this, Xiao He suddenly became excited.


    At this moment, although the surgery had just started, he already felt it was half-successful.


    Now came the suturing.


    The success rate of suturing is directly related to the esophageal function in the later stages.


    Chen Cang carefully picked up the 4-0 suture, and this kind of suturing actually has a similar ingenuity to that used in the anastomosis of intestinal fistulas.


    Amidst threading the needle, it was like a butterfly playing chess, incredibly delicate yet punctuated with touches here and there.


    Chen Cang¡¯s suturing was very clever; he chose the technique of anastomosing the ends without occupying too much of the esophagus.


    As a result, it would be convenient for the restoration of esophageal function later on.


    Liu Jian may not understand other things, but he understands suturing!


    The way Chen Cang sutured truly enlarged the usable space of the esophagus, ensuring a better outcome after recovery.


    Don¡¯t other people know to suture like this?


    Of course not!


    Do they all know that suturing this way is good?


    But how many have the confidence to suture well in this manner.


    The esophagus is different from other organs; it¡¯s a passage that must be kept clear at all times.


    For patients with esophageal stricture, eating is a troublesome matter.


    If you¡¯ve ever choked, you can understand it like this: when the esophagus is narrowed, you would choke even on rice!


    The patency of the esophagus is extremely important.


    Why do patients with esophageal cancer first feel the obstruction of the esophagus, and many don¡¯t even feel pain, but the sheer obstruction can drive one to distraction.


    Therefore, the suturing skills and ability Chen Cang demonstrated, Liu Jian would bet, are stronger than those of the expert who initially came to help with thoracic surgery at the Second Provincial Hospital!


    Many things are obvious at a glance.


    As we are all in the medical field, some things do not need to be spelled out.


    Upon seeing this, Liu Jian couldn¡¯t help but say to Wang Yong, ¡°Xiao Wang, pay close attention to how your teacher Chen Cang sutures. That esophageal suturing technique¡­ it¡¯s really amazing!¡±


    Wang Yong nodded, his eyes firmly fixed on every detail of Chen Cang¡¯s movements.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t speak, because it was after all the first time he was undertaking such a surgery, and he still needed to do his best to complete it.


    It took seven or eight minutes for Chen Cang to finish the suturing.


    This might seem laughable to others, taking seven or eight minutes to suture an esophagus; indeed, it was somewhat slow.


    But now was not the time to measure expertise with speed.


    When Chen Cang got going, he didn¡¯t even know how fast he could be!


    Similarly, when he needed to be steady¡­ steady as a rock!


    The slowness of the suturing did not mean it was not tight. On the contrary, the reason for Chen Cang¡¯s slowness was that he sutured the mucosal layer and muscle layer separately.


    At this time, Chen Cang said to Wang Yong, ¡°Esophageal suturing doesn¡¯t need to be too tight or too loose; knots should also be tied with appropriate tension.¡±


    Wang Yong, not understanding the rationale, could only look it up in books later but needed to remember it for now.


    Next, after suturing was completed, the repaired tear needed to be covered with a pedicled pleural flap, just like patching a tire, essentially as a precaution!


    The surgery had now come to an end.


    Placing a closed thoracic drainage tube for drainage, the rest would wait for recovery.


    Chen Cang handed the suturing over to Wang Yong and was the first to take off his gloves, saying to Xiao He, ¡°Director Xiao, have the patient admitted to the hospital, and for now, don¡¯t insert a nasogastric tube; continue with decompression. I¡¯m still worried about mediastinal infection later on, so use broad-spectrum antibiotics during this period.¡±


    ¡°He can¡¯t eat for ten days, no food at all, and after ten days, do an esophagogram before starting on a liquid diet.¡±


    ¡°After all, saliva is poisonous!¡±


    ps: Saliva really is poisonous. Many patients with esophageal perforations have been poisoned by their own saliva due to lack of care. So from a medical standpoint, saliva can indeed be deadly! So¡­ the next time you want to spit at me, rinse your mouth before you do.

    Chapter 205: Chapter 206: What to Buy? (Requesting Monthly Pass)


    Outside the operating room, a family waited anxiously.


    During the wait, Xiao Yang remained silent, somewhat uneasy, and worried¡­


    His wife quietly walked up behind him, gently patting Xiao Yang¡¯s back, not saying much, simply placing her hand on his lower back.


    The transfer of body heat often gave a feeling of reliance.


    Xiao Yang looked up, saw the worry in his wife¡¯s eyes, and smiled, ¡°Wife, I¡¯m okay.¡±


    His wife sat down beside him, ¡°Husband, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ve made it through tougher times than this, what¡¯s this in comparison? Besides, I¡¯m here for you!¡±


    Her words made Xiao Yang¡¯s nose tingle, and tears nearly burst forth.


    Turning to look at this down-to-earth woman, her arm still covered in sleeve protectors from rushing off from work, and her clothes that hadn¡¯t been bought for years¡­


    Thinking of this, Xiao Yang sighed, chuckling bitterly to himself, how useless he was!


    Such a wonderful woman, following him through all the hardships.


    Noticing, his wife lifted her hand to touch Xiao Yang¡¯s messy hair, ¡°Your hair has gotten long. It¡¯s time for a haircut. Shall I do it when we get back home?¡±


    Xiao Yang nodded vigorously.


    Not much later, the doors of the operating room opened.


    As Chen Cang and Xiao He came out of the operating room, Xiao Yang and his family hurriedly approached.


    ¡°Director Xiao, how did it go?¡± Xiao Yang¡¯s eyes were filled with concern.


    Xiao He, smiling reassuringly, said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, the surgery went smoothly, but he can¡¯t go home right away. He¡¯ll need to stay in the gastroenterology department for observation for a while.¡±


    ¡°Also, regarding the cost, let¡¯s talk about that later. If we¡¯re being precise, this was an iatrogenic injury, and the hospital also has a responsibility, so don¡¯t worry about the expenses for now!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang didn¡¯t feel happy but instead looked alarmed and quickly shook his head, ¡°No, no, Director Xiao, that won¡¯t do. You¡¯re an important person, not like us. We can¡¯t delay your future because of our problems. If you run into trouble and get disciplined because of us, my dad would never forgive me!¡±


    Even without money, Xiao Yang didn¡¯t want to do anything against his conscience.


    Although incidents like this were quite common in the medical field, Xiao Yang just couldn¡¯t bring himself to overlook it.


    He had made inquiries and understood after seeing the endoscopy room himself that it was indeed due to his father¡¯s sudden abdominal twisting and turning during the surgery.


    After all, his father had been uncomfortable in the esophagus for more than just a day or two.


    Xiao Yang felt that his father was already sick, and even if the endoscopic incident had just occurred, it was due to his father¡¯s own actions. He was well aware of what kind of person Director Xiao was¡ªhaving helped him plenty as a fellow townsman.


    Each check-up cost significantly less, and he even did them personally.


    This was a huge favor!


    Moreover, after his father¡¯s mishap, Xiao He had run around arranging the surgery, something that Xiao Yang saw with his own eyes.


    Director Xiao was very busy every day!


    Xiao He¡¯s father mentioned that Xiao He often worked overtime until eleven or twelve at night.


    Every time they came, Director Xiao was warm and gracious, without putting on airs, and would even invite them to meals when he had the time.


    For the Yang family, this was all deeply appreciated.


    So, if Xiao Yang let Xiao He be punished because of his family¡¯s issues, the guilt would be immense.


    Back home, he would be scorned by the villagers.


    So, they couldn¡¯t allow Director Xiao to be burdened by their problems, as he was a capable person, and they couldn¡¯t drag him down with them.


    Xiao He gestured dismissively, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll handle these matters. Xiao Yang, you go with your father to the gastroenterology department.¡±


    ¡°By the way, you really should thank Dr. Chen. He¡¯s your lifesaver. If it weren¡¯t for Dr. Chen, today¡¯s surgery would have been difficult,¡± Xiao He introduced to the Yang family, ¡°And the surgery Dr. Chen performed was very successful. You can rest assured and focus on recovery.¡±


    After saying this, Xiao He looked at Chen Cang gratefully. This was a debt he had incurred.


    As soon as Xiao Yang heard this, he quickly bowed with his wife and children to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, for your great kindness, we are immensely thankful!¡±


    Chen Cang was also a bit stunned and hurriedly returned the gesture.


    ¡°You¡¯re too kind, too kind¡­ It¡¯s nothing, this is my duty,¡± Chen Cang quickly replied.


    Chen Cang was indeed startled by the profuse gratitude.


    Sometimes, facing his patients, Chen Cang really didn¡¯t know what to do.


    There were those who were grateful, those who despised, those who doubted, and those who trusted unconditionally, but no matter what kind of emotions were projected onto him, all Chen Cang could do was not let down the patients¡¯ expectations.


    Everyone who comes to the hospital does so with unease and anxiety, deep down they¡¯re all hoping to be cured.


    There are always bad people at any time.


    But you can¡¯t doubt the whole world just because of a few bad people.


    The saying goes, ¡®one rotten apple spoils the whole barrel¡¯, but if you actually remove the rotten apple, what you¡¯re left with is still a pot of delicious soup.


    If you overly magnify the mistakes, faults, and shortcomings, how can life be wonderful?


    As a doctor, you should still maintain a level-headed mindset.


    No matter what kind of patients you face, you should be composed.


    After leaving the operating room, Chen Cang and Wang Yong walked side by side when an old lady wrapped in a headscarf caught up to them and grabbed both men.


    ¡°Doctor, I am Old Yang¡¯s daughter-in-law,¡± a distinctly hoarse voice came.


    Chen Cang and Wang Yong turned around, taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly said, ¡°Oh! Hello, ma¡¯am, the surgery was very successful, what Old Yang needs now is rest, so don¡¯t worry.¡±


    The old lady kept nodding, trembling as she took out a wad of crumpled money from her pocket, pulled Chen Cang¡¯s hand, and stuffed it in.


    The old lady¡¯s face was full of embarrassment and apology as she lowered her hand and rubbed the corner of her clothes, with a touch of timidity on her face, ¡°Doctor, please don¡¯t disdain it, this is my little way of showing gratitude, it¡¯s really quite modest, I¡¯m embarrassed¡­


    Chen Cang was stunned, looking at the rolled-up money unfold, all in ten and five yuan bills, along with some one yuan bills. The money was a bit moist, probably from being clutched by the old lady for a long time.


    The old lady hurried away after speaking.


    Chen Cang looked at the bunch of coins in his hand, glanced at Wang Yong, and felt a mix of emotions.


    They never expected that the first ¡®red packet¡¯ they received in their lives would look like this!


    A wad of money, totaling more than sixty yuan, Chen Cang counted it and sighed.


    Looking at Wang Yong who was also unsure of what to do, he asked, ¡°What should we do?¡±


    Wang Yong shook his head: ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly asked, ¡°What if¡­ we buy something and send it up?¡±


    Wang Yong was taken aback, ¡°Buy what? He can¡¯t eat or drink anything lately, it¡¯s pointless to buy anything.¡±


    Struck by a sudden inspiration, Chen Cang suggested, ¡°How about we buy some fat emulsion amino acid glucose injection?¡±


    Wang Yong almost laughed out loud!


    ¡°Teacher Cang, you¡¯re really thoughtful!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, thinking it was a good idea.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    [Ding! Mission complete, helped Xiao He with Old Yang¡¯s treatment! Rewards: 1. Randomly acquire a skill from Xiao He; 2. Affection from Xiao He +10; 3. Skill points +2.]


    [Ding! You have acquired Xiao He¡¯s skill: Endoscopic Hemostasis, advanced level!]


    [Endoscopic Hemostasis, advanced skill, special effect: precise hemostasis!]


    Chen Cang was delighted, this skill was very good.


    Currently, the most reliable method of stopping digestive tract bleeding is endoscopic hemostasis.


    Using the Sengstaken-Blakemore tube for compression hemostasis is useful, but the effect and efficiency are not really that high.


    Endoscopic Hemostasis, on the other hand, is different, it allows for precise location of the wound, and the bleeding can be stopped directly with titanium clips, quickly and effectively.

 Chapter 206 - Chapter 206: Chapter 207: Deep Brotherhood! (Request for Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 206: Chapter 207: Deep Brotherhood! (Request for Monthly Votes)


    Chen Cang and Wang Yong switched shifts.


    There was an opening ceremony on Wednesday, and Chen Cang wanted to go, but Wednesday happened to be his day shift.


    Wang Yong had the night shift tonight, and after some thought, Chen Cang swapped with him and took over the night shift for him.


    Upon hearing this, Wang Yong naturally was happy to accept.


    When it was a little past ten and things had quieted down outside, Chen Cang didn¡¯t go back to the on-call room but instead laid down across several chairs in the office to doze off.


    In his drowsy state, Chen Cang suddenly felt a presence standing beside him!


    Startled, he rolled over and stood up.


    Because he saw a woman with disheveled hair standing right beside him, staring straight at Chen Cang without saying a word.


    To tell the truth, this really scared Chen Cang quite a bit!


    Chen Cang was terrified! He clutched at his chest and took a couple of deep breaths.


    Chen Cang observed the woman, noticing her patient¡¯s gown and hair which was likely messed up from lying down; she just stood there, staring at Chen Cang with questioning eyes.


    Chen Cang felt a shiver run down his spine just thinking about it, God knows how long she had been standing there! If something serious had happened to her, he thought, today would have been his reckoning.


    Chen Cang looked at the woman, who seemed vaguely familiar, probably from the emergency ward, but¡­ why on earth was she in the office instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Do you¡­ need something?¡±


    The woman kept her gaze fixed on Chen Cang, ¡°Why are you sleeping?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Yeah, I was tired. What else should I do if not sleep?¡±


    This was just absurd¡­


    The woman¡¯s expression changed and she accused, ¡°You are on duty and you¡¯re actually sleeping? Are you even a doctor? How can you be so irresponsible? What if something happens to a patient!¡±


    Seeing the woman was somewhat angry, Chen Cang tried to hold back his temper and patiently explained, ¡°It¡¯s permissible to sleep during a night shift, but if something comes up, a nurse will come and wake me promptly, so it won¡¯t affect my work.¡±


    After hearing his explanation, the woman didn¡¯t say anything for a while, then she just uttered, ¡°Oh,¡± and added, ¡°I saw you sleeping and came in to check on you, no worries, I¡¯m leaving, you can continue sleeping.¡±


    With that, the woman got up and left.


    Leaving Chen Cang utterly confused.


    What the hell was that all about?


    Chen Cang sighed helplessly, sat in the chair for a long while, and still couldn¡¯t recover from the shock, truly frightening.


    It seemed that he should avoid sleeping in the office from now on, and when going back to sleep in the on-call room, he had to make sure to lock the door!


    Otherwise, if he encountered someone emotionally distressed again, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t guarantee that something wouldn¡¯t happen today!


    After such a commotion, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t fall back asleep.


    He checked the time, it was only twelve, it looked to be another sleepless night.


    Picking up a random book from the desk in the emergency office, he began to read.


    About ten minutes later, a nurse rushed in with a panicked expression on her face.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, you better come quick!¡±


    Chen Cang hurriedly followed her outside.


    At the door of the emergency room stood a group of young troublemakers, neither entering nor leaving, just blocking the entrance, all engaged in some argument.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t venture out, from a distance of seven or eight meters, the smell of alcohol hit him.


    Upon closer inspection, they were all young men, lively lads, dressed quite¡­ jolly.


    Chen Cang sighed, another case of post-drinking disorderliness, the disorderliness of character!


    It was just a group of people who drank too much, lost track of who they were, and whose characters drastically changed, leading to them causing trouble from nothing.


    Finally, Chen Cang saw a group of people supporting a man as they walked in.


    Upon closer inspection, Chen Cang saw the man¡¯s head covered in blood and his face immediately changed, ¡°Lele, get the stretcher!¡±


    Lele, seeing the man¡¯s bloody face, had already hurriedly pushed over a bed.


    Chen Cang quickly called out to the crowd, ¡°Lift the patient onto the bed!¡±


    The group of young lads, upon seeing Chen Cang, let go of the man one by one, and no one even bothered to support him anymore, leaving Chen Cang stupefied.


    How the hell am I supposed to move him by myself?


    It would be tough even for two people, let alone one. An unconscious person is a dead weight and extremely heavy; Chen Cang simply couldn¡¯t move him.


    Seeing the situation, two young nurses hurried over to help.


    With great difficulty, they managed to get him onto the bed, and suddenly the group started making a fuss.


    ¡°Take good care of him! He¡¯s my brother, got hit on the head with a bottle today and passed out! You better treat him properly,¡± one shouted.


    ¡°Yeah, hurry up, get to surgery, don¡¯t delay my brother¡¯s condition!¡± another exclaimed.


    ¡°Right, if you can¡¯t cure him, we won¡¯t let you off easy today!¡± threatened another.


    Watching the crowd¡¯s clamor, as if they were indignant and would butcher Chen Cang the moment he made a wrong move, he couldn¡¯t help but glance at them. Such deep brotherly love, they couldn¡¯t even be bothered to help lift him onto the bed.


    When the crowd noticed Chen Cang looking at them, they immediately glared back with furrowed brows, each flaunting their various ¡®badass¡¯ accessories¡ªnecklaces, large rings, earrings, ear studs, and tattoos!


    ¡°What are you looking at? Get on with the treatment! Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?¡± one barked.


    ¡°Exactly, hurry up, quit dawdling, or we¡¯ll shave you bald!¡± said another.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, to seem more intimidating, one of the lads started smoking, spitting phlegm with a snap, crackle, and pop, threatening to teach Chen Cang a lesson.


    Seeing what the crowd looked like, the nurses suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.


    This group wasn¡¯t scary.


    With time spent in the ER, one would realize that these types were actually the easiest to deal with.


    Going along with it, Chen Cang said to Lele, ¡°Let¡¯s start with monitoring.¡±


    Then announced, ¡°The patient¡¯s condition is quite serious, we need to monitor him.¡±


    After an examination, it turned out there was barely any issue, the patient was even talking in his sleep¡­


    Chen Cang understood, this guy was just drunk, but the wound on his head still needed stitching.


    However, looking at that group outside, Chen Cang sighed, walked out, and said gravely, ¡°The patient is in danger and needs resuscitation, who is in charge here?¡±


    Upon hearing this, they responded, ¡°We¡¯re all brothers, stop talking nonsense, just treat him properly!¡±


    ¡°Right! If anything happens to our brother because of your babbling, you won¡¯t be able to take the responsibility!¡± they insisted.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Right, right, I understand, but the patient¡¯s situation is very serious now, and he requires emergency treatment, so you guys need to pay some money, not much, just a deposit of twenty thousand yuan, you can all chip in!¡±


    Hearing this, one snorted coldly, ¡°Fine! It¡¯s just money, we can spend however much is needed, just make sure to save him, I¡¯ll go make a call to get the money.¡±


    After speaking, the man pulled out a phone, pointed at Chen Cang, and said, ¡°You wait, treat him well, I¡¯m going to get the money!¡±


    Having said that, the man seemed to forget to dial, picked up the phone, and said, ¡°Hello, hello, hello, yes, send me that money, alright, I¡¯m on my way to get it now!¡±


    The other lads also tried to act honorable, each making gestures at Chen Cang while fumbling for their phones without even dialing, or just pretended to dial a number and then went out to ¡®borrow money¡¯.


    As the noises of the phone calls grew fainter, in the time it took to smoke a cigarette, Chen Cang stepped out to check and saw that everyone had gone!


    Chen Cang sighed, what deep brotherhood!


    ps: There will be three updates tonight and two more at noon tomorrow, because¡­ brotherly love is as deep as the sea!

 Chapter 207 - Chapter 207: Chapter 208: Urgent Consultation in Gynecology (Part 1)

    Chapter 207: Chapter 208: Urgent Consultation in Gynecology (Part 1)


    The Digestive Department (spleen and stomach) at the Second Provincial Hospital is a nationally renowned key department, very famous within the province, with the former hospital president, Fang Yonglin, being the leading director of the spleen and stomach specialty at that time.


    The relationship between the Digestive Department and the Endoscopy Room could be described as inseparable, constantly like a honeymoon phase.


    After all, one of the purposes for patients of the Digestive Department to be hospitalized might be to have a gastroscopy, or to have a polyp removed via gastroscopy; thus, the relationship between the two departments is like that of brotherly or best friend departments.


    After Xiao He made arrangements with Su Jun, the head of the Digestive Department, he immediately settled the Yang family.


    The next morning, after Xiao He went to work, he checked on old Yang again, and seeing that old Yang was already much better, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Upon leaving the ward, Su Jun couldn¡¯t help but worryingly ask, ¡°This patient won¡¯t cause trouble, right? After all, it was iatrogenic.¡±


    Xiao He shook his head and smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, old Su, with our relationship, I wouldn¡¯t put you in a bind. He¡¯s from my hometown, just an honest family, who have developed esophageal changes from frequent endoscopies. The surgery just now was very successful, and he should be able to be discharged after recovering over the next few days.¡±


    Su Jun sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve been so stressed lately with all the trouble in the department!


    Xiao He had a very close relationship with Su Jun, often meeting up, and they would attend conferences on the spleen and stomach system together, which helped to solidify their relationship.


    Hearing Su Jun¡¯s sigh, Xiao He became curious and asked, ¡°What happened?¡±


    Su Jun shook his head, ¡°What a mess! Let¡¯s go, sit in my office for a bit, I¡¯ve got something else to talk to you about!¡±


    As they talked, the two entered the office. After closing the door, Su Jun brewed a cup of tea for Xiao He. Neither of them smoked, and whenever there was a chance, they enjoyed drinking tea and chatting.


    ¡°Recently, one incident after another has happened in the department, to the point that I¡¯m starting to wonder if I should be superstitious!¡±


    Xiao He was taken aback, ¡°Are you talking about that jumping incident in your department?¡±


    Su Jun nodded, ¡°Exactly. Since that day, there¡¯s been no peace! Just done with one troublesome patient, and then an infection control issue pops up in the department. We found one case of AIDS, two cases of hepatitis B, and I¡¯m just speechless with all these bad things piling up!¡±


    ¡°Just yesterday, we had a patient with an esophageal fistula, who, after admission, was found to have subcutaneous emphysema, hydro-pneumothorax, and clear signs of systemic poisoning. We had the respiratory department scrambling back and forth, stabilizing the patient for half a day, and just today, the patient was transferred to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.¡±


    ¡°Such bad luck!¡± After saying this, Su Jun couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply.


    Xiao He provided comfort, commenting that this is just the nature of working in a hospital; as a department head, one is bound to encounter numerous troubles, sometimes making one wonder whether being an ordinary doctor would be preferable.


    Suddenly, Xiao He remembered that Su Jun had something to discuss with him, ¡°Oh right, you mentioned earlier you had something to talk to me about?¡±


    Su Jun nodded, ¡°Yes, Shen Fengmao¡¯s mother needs to have an esophageal polyp removed. She just called me, so I wanted to give you a heads up.¡±


    Xiao He was surprised, ¡°Shen Fengmao? The Dean Shen?¡±


    Su Jun affirmed with a hum, ¡°Yes, her mother has been hospitalized with us before. A polyp was found during her last examination, and this time, she wants it removed. Just letting you know ahead of time. Shen Fengmao is quite particular and hard to please, so watch out for any trouble she might cause you.¡±


    Xiao He couldn¡¯t help but purse his lips in disdain, ¡°It¡¯s not like it¡¯s the first or second time this has happened. Last time, we needed a batch of new equipment, and despite several applications, not a single one was approved.¡±


    Shen Fengmao was the hospital¡¯s vice president in charge of medical equipment, a coveted position, and Xiao He had wanted a new machine for the endoscopy room, but she just wouldn¡¯t approve it.


    Seeing Xiao He¡¯s expression, Su Jun smiled and said, ¡°This is an opportunity. Don¡¯t fall out with her completely; smooth things over, and maybe the equipment will be approved. In this hospital, you really need to maintain good relations with such people, otherwise, nothing will go smoothly for you!¡±


    Xiao He sighed, ¡°Ah¡­ these administrative types are such a hassle. We work ourselves to exhaustion every day, yet their word is law.¡±


    Xiao He was still speaking when his phone suddenly rang.


    ¡°Director Xiao, are you in the department?¡±


    A frantic female voice came through the phone, causing Xiao He to freeze for a moment. Upon checking the caller ID, he saw it was Liu Wenjun, the head of the gynecology department.


    Xiao He quickly responded, ¡°I¡¯m in the Digestive Department visiting a patient. What¡¯s the matter, Director Liu?¡±


    Liu Wenjun spoke urgently, ¡°We have a patient in the gynecology ward who suddenly became extremely breathless during childbirth. Now the patient is experiencing severe pain behind the sternum, and I¡¯m concerned it might be an issue with the esophagus or trachea. Please come down quickly.¡±


    Xiao He promptly got to his feet, ¡°Okay, Director Liu, I¡¯m on my way!¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Xiao He glanced at Su Jun, ¡°I have to go, there¡¯s an urgent case in gynecology.¡±


    Rushing out of the spleen and stomach department, he called his department to bring the endoscope and headed straight for the operating room.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the gynecology operating room, Liu Wenjun was closely monitoring her patient¡¯s condition. The baby was almost out, but the patient¡¯s heartbeat had quickened, and she was breathing rapidly, clutching her chest in intense pain.


    This situation baffled the delivering obstetrician; childbirth is painful, but not usually chest pain!


    The patient, clutching her chest, complained of pain so severe she couldn¡¯t exert any effort, and with the child halfway out, this was a serious complication!


    So, the attending surgeon Zhang Yan hurriedly called Director Liu Wenjun down.


    Zhang Jinfeng had looked over the medical history, and the patient was very healthy with no complications, no heart disease, nothing. What on earth was going on?


    Could there be some sort of acute illness?


    With this thought, Zhang Jinfeng had no time for anything else and urgently made calls for a consultation, to the pulmonologist Yang Xiaoming, the emergency department¡¯s Li Baoshan, and the chief of cardiothoracic surgery, Tao Zi.


    At this time, the patient was stuck, unable to deliver the baby.


    The attending surgeon, Zhang Yan, was sweating profusely in anxiety, ¡°You¡¯ve got to push, push hard!¡±


    The pregnant woman, Liu Wenjun, was almost crying in desperation, ¡°I can¡¯t muster any strength. Whenever I try, my heart hurts, it¡­ it hurts so much!¡±


    Her words immediately plunged the operation into a state of tense crisis.


    Zhang Yan was at a loss, ¡°What to do? Director?¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng¡¯s mind spun like an i7 processor, trying to contemplate the situation. What could it be?


    ¡°Go tell the family it¡¯s critical and get them to sign!¡±


    Zhang Yan nodded, instructing the nurses to urgently prepare the notification and contact the family.


    Outside the operating room at this moment, Liu Wenjun¡¯s family was anxiously waiting at the door!


    The whole family of several people were all waiting at the door of the operating room, including Liu Wenjun¡¯s parents, her husband Zhang Yue, and Zhang Yue¡¯s parents as well.


    This was supposed to be the happiest time for a family, and also the most anxious.


    Watching Zhang Yue pacing back and forth at the door of the operating room, Liu Wenjun¡¯s mother couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Xiao Zhang, you¡¯re so worried. Women, we all go through this! Sit down and rest!¡±


    Zhang Yue gave an embarrassed smile, ¡°Mom, I can¡¯t sit still. Whenever I sit, my heart thumps wildly, so restless, I just can¡¯t sit down!¡±


    At Zhang Yue¡¯s words, the whole family couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    They were about to welcome a new family member soon; this was a happy event for both the Zhang and Liu families.


    Liu Wenjun¡¯s mother smiled, ¡°In-laws, ah, I¡¯ve prepared clothes for Yan Yan, I¡¯ll send them over to you later.¡±


    Liu Wenjun¡¯s father laughed heartily, ¡°You¡¯ve been buying clothes for a year now, bringing something new every few days. If this child doesn¡¯t come out soon, we might run out of room for all the clothes at home!¡±


    At this, everyone burst into hearty laughter.


    This was truly a time full of hope, awaiting the happy nurturance.


    Just then, suddenly, the door to the operating room flung open, and everyone¡¯s hearts tightened. Was the operation over?


    All of them couldn¡¯t help but stand up. Had the child been born?


    There was a touch of nervousness in everyone¡¯s hearts.


    But they saw a nurse rush out rapidly, carrying several papers, and asking, ¡°Who is Liu Wenjun¡¯s family?¡±


    Five people hurriedly said, ¡°I am!¡±


    ¡°We are!¡±


    The nurse approached them and said, ¡°The patient is now in a critical condition, with an unexpected complication arising. We¡¯re worried about unpredictable consequences. This is the medical notice.¡±


    The expressions on the faces of the five family members changed instantly!


    Zhang Yue especially, his face turned ashen with fear, ¡°What¡­ what¡¯s going on? What happened? How did such a situation arise all of a sudden?¡±


    This news was too hard for them to accept!


    They had been awaiting happiness, yet what they got was akin to devastating news.


    The nurse was about to speak when Zhang Yan came out. Feeling that the nurse might not be clear enough, she decided to come out herself.


    Upon seeing Zhang Yan, Liu Wenjun¡¯s family hurried up to her, ¡°Dr. Zhang! What¡¯s going¡­ what¡¯s happening? What¡¯s wrong with Wenjun?¡±


    Zhang Yan looked at the anxious faces all around and patiently gave them a detailed explanation.


    After finishing, Zhang Yan said to everyone, ¡°The patient¡¯s condition is uncertain, our director is personally delivering the baby, so don¡¯t worry. Moreover, we¡¯ve already called for consultations from various department chiefs; currently, the symptoms are unclear, the patient can¡¯t exert force in her abdomen, and the baby is halfway out. A cesarean section may be necessary, but we can¡¯t predict the various situations we¡¯ll encounter¡­ that¡¯s the situation. So¡­ please sign.¡±


    Her words left the family utterly perplexed!


    Zhang Yue¡¯s face changed, ¡°Doctor! Save the adult at all costs! It¡¯s fine if the child doesn¡¯t make it, but my wife must be saved.¡±


    Zhang Yan shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s not about the child, turning to a cesarean isn¡¯t a big issue for the baby. The actual reason for the patient¡¯s condition still needs to be determined. We will certainly do our best! Of course, it may not be that serious, but I need to inform you all about every possibility.¡±

 Chapter 208 - Chapter 208: Chapter 209: Urgent Consultation in Gynecology (Part 2)

    Chapter 208: Chapter 209: Urgent Consultation in Gynecology (Part 2)


    Sign the papers¡­


    Sign the papers¡­


    What else can be done other than signing?


    Zhang Yue stood there, dispirited and ghastly pale, with a vacant look in his eyes. How did such a good situation come to this!


    What exactly happened?


    Liu Wenjun¡¯s mother was even scared into tears.


    Her tears streamed down continuously.


    Their family only had Wenjun as a child, how could she encounter such a problem?


    What on earth had happened?


    If something really happened to Wenjun¡­ would this family¡­ still be a family?


    To speak unpleasantly, Liu Wenjun¡¯s parents only lived for their daughter, and now suddenly, because of childbirth, she was in trouble; they would rather not have this child!


    Zhang Yue turned to look at his parents-in-law, took a deep breath, wiped the tears off his face, and walked up steadfastly.


    He couldn¡¯t be like this at this moment; he had to shoulder the responsibility of the family, he had to take care of Wenjun¡¯s parents for her!


    Even if¡­


    Even if it were¡­


    At this thought, Zhang Yue didn¡¯t even dare to continue.


    ¡°Dad, Mom, don¡¯t worry, Wenjun will definitely be alright, please be assured!¡±


    As soon as he said this, Liu¡¯s mother cried even harder, her sobs turning into loud wails.


    Zhang Yue, looking at Wenjun¡¯s parents, could no longer hold back and tears flowed down his face: ¡°Mom, please don¡¯t cry, I beg you, I, Zhang Yue, swear, no matter what happens to Wenjun, you will always be my parents for the rest of my life, I will be as filial to you as I am to my own parents.¡±


    Liu Wenjun¡¯s father, seeing the chaos, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Enough, enough, why cry!¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t everything all right? You¡¯re just crying and crying. This is a hospital, are you hoping that Wenjun will have problems? Stand properly and wait.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Yue, you¡¯re a young man, a man, and in the future Wenjun¡¯s husband, the child¡¯s father, you can¡¯t cry and wail like your mother. You have to hold up even if the sky falls.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the doctor said, there is just some danger, the doctors are doing everything they can, informing us is part of our right to know¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Outside the operating room, everyone was eagerly looking at the OR door, waiting silently for good news.


    Inside the operating room, however, was a different scene!


    Everything was proceeding orderly!


    Zhang Jinfen had already taken charge, saying to the patient: ¡°Child, hang in there! It¡¯s going to be okay!¡±


    Liu Wenjun was already crying so much that she couldn¡¯t continue: ¡°Doctor, I also want to, if something happens to me, can you save the baby¡­ ¡±


    Zhang Jinfen smiled: ¡°Silly child, you¡¯re both going to be fine, just a little more effort, just push a little and the baby will be out, the baby is doing fine.¡±


    Liu Wenjun sobbed and nodded: ¡°Yes¡­ yes¡­ I know, ah¡­ it hurts so much, doctor, I¡¯m in so much pain¡­¡±


    At this moment, Liu Wenjun¡¯s heart was in agony, an emotional torture far worse than the physical pain!


    The child must be born.


    But her chest hurt so much!


    What to do?


    Zhang Jinfen couldn¡¯t help but ask the nurse, ¡°Why haven¡¯t the consultants who were just here come yet? Hurry them up, where¡¯s my phone!¡±


    After speaking, Zhang Jinfen held the baby with both hands and encouraged: ¡°Child, I¡¯ll count to three, and we¡¯ll work together!¡±


    Liu Wenjun nodded, and Zhang Jinfen carefully cradled the head, opening the passage¡­


    Two minutes later, Li Baoshan, Tao Zi, Yang Xiaoming, and others filed in and walked into the room.


    At this time, the baby was almost born, and Zhang Jinfen continued encouraging: ¡°Hang in there! Child, you¡¯re doing great!¡±


    Zhang Jinfen¡¯s skills were exceptional, and over the years at the Second Provincial Hospital, she had delivered more than a thousand babies.


    Liu Wenjun exerted all the strength she had.


    She was prepared in her heart to give birth to the child even at the cost of her own life. Before dying, she had to bring the child into this world.


    Perhaps, that was a mother¡¯s silly yet very real stubbornness!


    ¡­


    Time ticked away, second by second.


    Every second was agony for Liu Wenjun.


    Suddenly, she felt a sense of emptiness!


    Only the sound of ¡°wa wa wa¡­ wa¡± could be heard, and Zhang Jinfen smiled, ¡°Well done, child, you did great! Your baby is out.¡±


    Liu Wenjun suddenly heard this and felt as if she had collapsed.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After explaining the patient¡¯s condition to everyone, Yang Xiaoming suddenly said, ¡°It¡¯s not related to the respiratory tract; the patient¡¯s breathing is normal. The rapid breathing might have been caused by transient effort-induced respiratory muscle spasm, but now the breathing is very stable.¡±


    Tao Zi shook his head, ¡°Not a heart disease? There¡¯s nothing unusual on the ECG monitoring, and the recent ECG was completely normal too, except for a slightly higher heart rate, so we can basically rule out heart problems!¡±


    Zhang Jinfen looked at Li Baoshan and couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Director Li, what condition do you consider it might be?¡±


    Li Baoshan took a deep breath, ¡°Have you guys considered an esophageal tear?¡±


    This statement left everyone bewildered¡­


    Li Baoshan continued, ¡°That is, spontaneous esophageal perforation?¡±


    ¡°This is my guess, after all, the patient¡¯s symptoms are retrosternal pain, tearing in nature, and considering the patient¡¯s generally good health without any medical history.¡±


    ¡°So I¡¯m thinking, could it be because during childbirth, the sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure compressed the stomach, causing a sudden increase in intraluminal pressure in the esophagus? At the same time, the cricopharyngeal muscle reacted with spasm, going into a sort of contracted state, making the pressure inside the esophagus vastly different from that in the thoracic cavity in an instant, leading to esophageal rupture!¡±


    Li Baoshan¡¯s explanation immediately enlightened Zhang Jinfeng!


    ¡°Very likely! Such cases have happened before!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll call the endoscopy unit right now, get Xiao He to come down and see if it¡¯s an issue with the esophagus.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    It wasn¡¯t long before Xiao He arrived, pushing the endoscopic examination equipment.


    After telling Xiao He all their thoughts, Zhang Jinfeng said, ¡°Director Xiao, we are still concerned it might be a tear in the esophagus!¡±


    A serious esophageal tear was not something that could be delayed; it was a disease that could cost someone their life.


    At this time, no one dared to take a breath of relief.


    If it was indeed that kind of surgery, they must quickly prepare to either consult a specialist or promptly transfer to another hospital; the operation had to be completed within a short time frame.


    If not, they would have to continue investigating to find the cause.


    Although the baby was already born, the patient was still not out of danger.


    At this moment, they were on the path of searching for the grim reaper.


    No one dared to let their guard down¡­


    Time ticked by, second by second.


    Everyone was waiting for Xiao He¡¯s examination result. Once the probe was inserted and they saw the image on the TV screen, they were instantly enlightened!


    Indeed¡­


    They saw a huge tear inside the esophagus.


    At that moment, the truth was clear!


    Xiao He¡¯s expression changed, ¡°The tear is too big. I¡¯m worried about excessive contaminants and air getting into the chest cavity during childbirth. Surgery must be conducted quickly, or if it¡¯s delayed, it could become life-threatening for the patient!¡±


    His words placed everyone who had just started to relax back into a state of tension!


    Surgery!


    Hurry and find someone?


    Zhang Jinfen frowned, ¡°Is it possible to transfer her?¡±


    Xiao He shook his head, ¡°There¡¯s no time; the surgery must be done quickly¡­¡±


    Zhang Jinfen looked at Li Baoshan, her eyes pleading, ¡°Director Li, you know a lot of people, do you know any thoracic surgery experts in the province?¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°I know Wei Zhi, the chief of thoracic surgery at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital. I¡¯ll give him a call and get in touch.¡±


    Li Baoshan, not one to hesitate, decisively dialed the number, ¡°Hello, Director Wei, this is Li Baoshan, here¡¯s the situation¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m in surgery, right away, an hour, I¡¯ll be there immediately!¡±


    Wei Zhi was already very accommodating; everyone heard it, one hour.


    One hour should be alright¡­ right?


    Just then, Xiao He suddenly froze, ¡°Director Li, Chen, a doctor from your department, can perform this surgery! Why look for someone else?¡±


    At this, even Li Baoshan was stunned, ¡°Doctor Chen? Chen Bingsheng? He specializes in general surgery. As for thoracic¡­ he seems to be quite average!¡±


    Xiao He shook his head, ¡°Not Chen Bingsheng, it¡¯s Chen Cang, Doctor Chen. He¡¯s very good at esophageal surgeries; I suggest you get Dr. Chen over here now; let¡¯s start preparing for the surgery.¡±


    Li Baoshan¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Dr. Chen knows how to perform esophageal surgery?¡±


    ps: Delivering two chapters, everyone, here they are¡­ no need to thank me!

 Chapter 209 - Chapter 209: Chapter 210: Oh dear, sorry to keep you all waiting, huh?

    Chapter 209: Chapter 210: Oh dear, sorry to keep you all waiting, huh?


    Li Baoshan felt that he might have misunderstood Chen Cang!


    And he discovered that these directors might also have some misunderstandings about Chen Cang!


    Are we talking about the same Chen Cang?


    Hearing Li Baoshan¡¯s question, Xiao He nodded, too hurried to explain, and immediately picked up his cell phone to call Chen Cang.


    Having been through a strenuous night, Chen Cang was somewhat exhausted, even with a physical bonus, but that one or two points of stamina only had a 20 percent enhancement, meaning it had increased a bit from before, but not as much as he imagined.


    Chen Cang suddenly missed his surgical gown, which offered a 3-point bonus to his stamina, and a special skill, a monthly recovery.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang suddenly felt he should find an opportunity to try it out.


    See just how powerful that recovery skill really is!


    At that moment, a call suddenly came in, from Xiao He.


    ¡°Chen, you¡¯re at the hospital, aren¡¯t you?¡± Xiao He¡¯s voice had several degrees more urgency.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but get serious, ¡°Yes, I am here; Director Xiao, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Xiao He nodded, ¡°Come to the operating room first, the gynecology operating room, we¡¯ll talk when you¡¯re here.¡±


    After speaking, the call ended, and Chen Cang quickly got up and headed toward the operating room.


    Could there be something wrong again?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Li Baoshan watched Xiao He end the call and still couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Director Xiao, isn¡¯t this a bit hasty? Chen is a doctor in our department, only 27 years old. He hasn¡¯t dealt with esophageal surgery before, has he?¡±


    When the director of gynecology, Zhang Jinfeng, heard this, his eyebrows shot up instantly, ¡°Director Xiao¡­ this isn¡¯t a joke, right? Esophageal repair surgery isn¡¯t that simple. Every year, no small number of people die because of it. This is our patient, we can¡¯t afford any mishaps!¡±


    Gynecology could be said to have the most complicated inter-personal relationships in the hospital, no exception.


    Here, not only are all the doctors women, but even the patients are all women! Adding to that are all the mothers-in-law and mothers accompanying them; if you dare make any error, you¡¯d better watch out.


    So Zhang Jinfeng didn¡¯t beat around the bush and directly urged Xiao He to dispel those wild ideas.


    She thought Xiao He wanted Chen Cang to practice.


    Witnessing this scene, even Xiao He was taken aback.


    It was one thing for others to not understand Chen Cang, but Li Baoshan, you¡¯re the director of the emergency department, don¡¯t you understand Chen Cang?


    Thinking this, Xiao He felt somewhat baffled, wondering who really was in charge of emergency¡­


    By now, the nurses were already preparing the operating room, and the patient was also getting ready for surgery; everything was waiting for the procedure to begin.


    Seeing a group of directors gathered here, Liu Jian curiously walked over and greeted them.


    Though young, Liu Jian was the star of the anesthesiology department, his skills nearly on par with the directors¡¯, and most importantly, Liu Jian had a better grasp of new things, often going out for advanced training and meetings.


    Of course, all of this stemmed from the department head¡¯s esteem.


    When Zhang Jinfeng saw Liu Jian, she hurriedly said, ¡°Doctor Liu, there¡¯s a surgery later, please help with the anesthesia.¡±


    Liu Jian nodded with a smile, ¡°No problem, Director Zhang, your word is my command. My child was delivered by Director Zhang, and now at home, they¡¯re always talking about Grandma Zhang.¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng heard Liu Jian¡¯s words, and his tense mood eased a bit, unable to help himself, he let out a long sigh of relief.


    Liu Jian asked, ¡°What surgery?¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng¡¯s expression grew grave as he said, ¡°Esophageal repair! During the childbirth process, the patient¡¯s intra-abdominal pressure suddenly increased, squeezing the stomach and causing a sudden rise in the pressure within the esophageal lumen. This caused a large pressure difference between the inside of the esophageal lumen and the thoracic cavity, leading to the rupture of the esophagus!¡±


    ¡°The situation is pretty severe. If Director Li hadn¡¯t called for external assistance, we would have transferred the patient. See, all these directors have been asked by me to come for consultations.¡±


    After listening, Liu Jian gave a faint smile, ¡°No worries. By the way, Doctor Chen Cang should be arriving soon, right? I¡¯ll go get ready for the anesthesia.¡±


    When Liu Jian said this, everyone was dumbfounded.


    Zhang Jinfeng said, clueless, ¡°What Doctor Chen Cang?¡±


    Li Baoshan and Tao Zi also looked at each other before turning to Liu Jian, ¡°Which Doctor Chen Cang?¡±


    Seeing everyone¡¯s expressions, Liu Jian was taken aback, and looking at Xiao He, he asked, ¡°Director Xiao, isn¡¯t Chen Cang the one performing the surgery?¡±


    Xiao He nodded, ¡°Yes, but Director Li has contacted Director Wei Zhi from the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, who will arrive in less than an hour.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Liu Jian couldn¡¯t help but give an embarrassed smile, ¡°Why get Wei Zhi? You all know about Niu Tianlu, right? The specialist from the capital who has been employed long-term in our hospital¡¯s thoracic surgery.¡±


    How could anyone not know? Wasn¡¯t the thoracic surgery department built up thanks to him?


    Niu Tianlu was the deputy director of the thoracic surgery department at the Capital¡¯s 302 Hospital; his skill level went without saying.


    Zhang Jinfeng couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°We know, but didn¡¯t Director Niu return to the capital? If Director Niu were here, we wouldn¡¯t be in such a panic at all!¡±


    Li Baoshan and the others also nodded in agreement.


    Although the thoracic surgery department was merely a formality in the past, with Niu Tianlu around, it indeed saved everyone a lot of trouble.


    The thoracic surgery department, along with the respiratory department, cardiac surgery, gastroenterology, endoscopy room, and emergency department, were all closely linked and often required mutual support.


    Now that the thoracic department had been disbanded, everyone suddenly felt the pressure of continuous difficult situations.


    Xiao He felt it the most distinctly!


    Liu Jian continued, ¡°I¡¯ve been the anesthesiologist for Director Niu all along, haven¡¯t I? I think Director Niu¡¯s level of esophageal repair surgery is not as good as Chen Cang¡¯s.¡±


    Upon hearing this, those around were shocked!


    Li Baoshan felt maybe he lacked communication and understanding with Chen Cang and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Doctor Liu, are you sure the Chen Cang you mentioned is the one from our department?¡±


    Liu Jian was amused by Li Baoshan and nodded, ¡°Of course, does our hospital have a second Chen Cang?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Director Xiao have a patient yesterday? Esophageal perforation surgery, and it was Doctor Chen Cang who performed it. I watched the entire procedure from start to finish without missing a detail, and the precision was exquisite!¡±


    ¡°Although Director Niu is entirely capable of performing such surgery, I think the procedure¡¯s not as exquisite and delicate as Doctor Chen Cang¡¯s, especially when it came to repairing the esophagus, Doctor Chen Cang was particularly meticulous!¡±


    ¡°Wei Zhi¡­ he specializes in the thoracic major vessel direction, but I always feel that we can perform the esophageal repair surgery ourselves!¡±


    Xiao He also nodded, ¡°Indeed, I had a patient yesterday with esophageal perforation. I originally planned to have the patient transferred, but then I thought of Doctor Chen Cang and let him take a look. He said he could do it, so I let him perform the surgery.¡±


    ¡°I personally feel that he did very well! Not inferior to those experts at all!¡±


    By this time, Chen Cang had already entered the operating room and saw a row of directors and anesthesiologists standing there, feeling a bit embarrassed.


    With a coy smile, he said, ¡°Ah, waiting for me, are you? I¡¯m so sorry¡­¡±

 Chapter 210 - Chapter 210: Chapter 211: Did I use my recovery skill backwards?

    Chapter 210: Chapter 211: Did I use my recovery skill backwards?


    Chen Cang looked up and saw a circle of department heads and pairs of curious, innocent eyes. Far from being nervous, he felt somewhat expectant.


    This wasn¡¯t his first time performing surgery in front of such a large audience.


    How does the saying go?


    Some people are just naturally the center of attention.


    Still, the 24-hour shift was somewhat exhausting, and wearing a mask, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but yawn.


    He shook his head. You can¡¯t perform surgery in this state, he thought. Esophageal surgery is not as simple as an appendectomy; it required serious attention and care.


    With this in mind, Chen Cang surreptitiously used a recovery skill that came with his ¡°Bai Qiuen Surgery Gown¡±!


    Immediately, he felt as if he was in a warm home with underfloor heating, when suddenly a bucket of cold water poured down from above¡­it was bracing!


    Chen Cang shuddered.


    This damn sensation¡­ was too thrilling, right?


    Chen Cang gritted his teeth. In other novels, recovery skills always seemed so comfortably soothing.


    They felt like a breath of spring air.


    But his recovery was like a plunge into icy water, invigorating yet harrowing.


    Well, regardless of the process, the effect was pretty good. At least now Chen Cang felt much better, totally refreshed, and all sense of fatigue had disappeared.


    He felt as spirited as if he had just woken up from a good night¡¯s sleep and taken a refreshing shower!


    Turning to look at the nurse, Chen Cang suddenly blinked in recognition. Wasn¡¯t she familiar?


    ¡°Give me the scalpel.¡±


    Yuan Yuan looked at Chen Cang, feeling a little excited. After all, it was a big scene today. See, all the department heads around? Each one was a leading figure at the provincial hospital. Just thinking about boasting about this later tonight made her a bit nervous.


    The surgery began, and Tao Zi and Li Baoshan came forward to help.


    Tao Zi was from thoracic surgery. Though heart and chest surgery were related, there was still a big difference.


    However, lending a hand was not a problem.


    The master-level esophageal repair surgery had greatly transformed and influenced Chen Cang¡¯s skills, honed by thousands upon thousands of operations to near perfection.


    Gently opening the skin and dissecting layer by layer.


    Li Baoshan, who was ready with the hemostatic gauze, was surprised to find very little bleeding.


    Li Baoshan keenly noticed that Chen Cang¡¯s technique smartly avoided unnecessary blood vessels without compromising the surgery.


    This was the result of a deep understanding of the vascular architecture of the local tissue regions.


    Every move was intentional, the outcome of relentless practice and learning.


    Truly, he was someone who paid attention to details!


    But what kind of practice yielded such results?


    With that thought¡­


    Li Baoshan couldn¡¯t help but look up at Chen Cang.


    All he saw was Chen Cang with his head down, eyes focused intently on the surgical area, meticulous and earnest.


    Li Baoshan couldn¡¯t help feeling impressed. What a great talent! Serious, delicate, and attentive to detail; these were all excellent qualities for a surgeon!


    Li Baoshan felt a bit of self-reproach and guilt; he seemed to have overlooked the growth of the doctors in his department.


    With that thought, he sighed¡­


    After this, he might have to consider focusing on nurturing Chen Cang.


    But then, it seemed he had never underestimated Chen Cang; rather, the young man was always creating surprises for him.


    The surgery progressed step by step, quickly reaching the phase of separating the esophagus from the surrounding tissues.


    During the mobilization of the esophagus, it was crucial to carefully monitor the surrounding tissues and the aorta, to avoid any complacency.


    At that moment, the operating room door opened, and a slender man, not very tall and wearing black-framed glasses, walked in.


    The nurse efficiently helped him into his gown.


    Li Baoshan turned around and, upon seeing Wei Zhi, nodded his acknowledgment but didn¡¯t say much, smoothly making way for him at the assistant¡¯s position.


    Wei Zhi nodded back, silently stepping in.


    Having worked together quite often and maintaining a good relationship as veterans of the operating room, they understood each other well; no words were necessary.


    After Wei Zhi arrived, he saw a pair of young, clear, and transparent eyes.


    Suddenly curious?


    Who is he?


    Only his eyes were visible outside the tightly wrapped surgical gown.


    Wei Zhi was there to help save the day, not for anything else. He had no particular obsession with being the chief surgeon, and after taking over from Li Baoshan, he skillfully acted as the assistant, constantly helping Chen Cang with retraction, irrigation, and hemostasis.


    Logical and orderly, it made Chen Cang¡¯s surgery go much more smoothly.


    At this moment, Chen Cang was preparing to mobilize the esophagus, and Wei Zhi couldn¡¯t help but take a few more glances.


    But it seemed like before Wei Zhi could react, Chen Cang had already succeeded in the dissection¡­


    At this, Wei Zhi was stunned.


    This technique was somewhat¡­ quite interesting!


    No, that¡¯s not it!


    Upon recollecting it suddenly, Wei Zhi¡¯s eyes narrowed, truly a matter for careful consideration. Very impressive!


    Subtle!


    Precise!


    Decisive!


    Several adjectives surfaced in Wei Zhi¡¯s mind.


    Which expert is this young doctor from?


    Wei Zhi couldn¡¯t help but be full of anticipation for the upcoming surgery.


    Next would be the repair of the ruptured esophagus.


    Wei Zhi had already passed over the needle holder; Chen Cang took the forceps with ease, feeling much more comfortable.


    Chen Cang looked up slightly and saw that it was no longer Li Baoshan opposite him.


    No wonder¡­


    Director Li is capable, but his skills as an assistant are not as good as Wang Yong¡¯s. This is much more comfortable.


    Chen Cang suddenly thought that now he was doing minor surgeries, he could almost handle them by himself, but in the future, once he had made a name for himself and was doing major surgeries, he would definitely need to train a group of assistants. Wang Yong¡¯s skills still needed improvement.


    During this time, Chen Cang felt he needed to be on the lookout for more potential candidates.


    The surgery continued.


    Suturing was Chen Cang¡¯s strong suit.


    The mucosal layer and muscle layer were relatively intact due to being rupture-type injuries.


    Although the incision looked larger than Old Yang¡¯s, in reality, it was much less difficult.


    Old Yang¡¯s rupture was a chronic esophageal injury with significant mucosal damage, whereas Liu Wenjun¡¯s was different as it was a rupture-type injury that was relatively easier to suture.


    Easy as it may be, Chen Cang became even more serious.


    Because this type of rupture injury could heal with a good expected outcome.


    Moreover, because the wound could develop scar tissue, Chen Cang had to prevent granulation tissue from causing esophageal stenosis during the anastomosis.


    Liu Jian found that there were three major points of admiration when watching Chen Cang¡¯s surgery.


    The first was the incision, precise, sharp, and decisive, like extracting the enemy general¡¯s head from the midst of an army.


    The second was the mobilization, stable as Mount Tai¡¯s boulder, unshakable as a heavy bell.


    The third was the suturing, meticulous and fine, crafting artistry through threading the needle.


    Every time he watched the surgery, Liu Jian couldn¡¯t help but feel deeply impressed.


    Not just him, even Wei Zhi, who was watching Chen Cang perform surgery for the first time, couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva. This doctor¡­ so skilled!


    The surgery proceeded step by step, steady and unruffled.


    Chen Cang was like a seasoned general, arranging his troops and dispatching commands, all done with authoritative ease!


    [Ding! Lv37 esophageal rupture monster stitching complete, received: Clinical Experience +300; Surgery Experience +300; Skill Point +1.]


    It was a success. The moment he removed his mask, Chen Cang became the center of attention!


    Everyone in the room couldn¡¯t help but look up at Chen Cang.


    Those who knew him suddenly felt he was somewhat a stranger!


    Those who didn¡¯t know him couldn¡¯t help but admire his exceptional ability!


    And deep inside, Kong Yuanyuan was slightly excited, He looked at me, he looked at me!

 Chapter 211 - Chapter 211: Chapter 212: Let Go and Do It!

    Chapter 211: Chapter 212: Let Go and Do It!


    The surgery concluded.


    The patient was wheeled away, and Zhang Jinfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Zhang Yan, still standing there, couldn¡¯t help but stow her anxious heart into her stomach!


    The surgery had finally been successful, and she could now give the patients and their families a satisfactory explanation.


    Thinking of this, Zhang Yan looked at Chen Cang with curiosity. She had never met Chen Cang before but had heard of him, and what she heard was because Song Qiang from the Medical Affairs Department had publicly criticized him in the group.


    But it seemed that this Chen Cang wasn¡¯t quite what she had imagined!


    Originally, Zhang Yan thought that Song Qiang¡¯s proactive resignation was due to encountering some big shot. Now, seeing Chen Cang like this, he didn¡¯t seem like the mysterious figure rumored in the department, the one with connections ¡°upstairs.¡±


    On the contrary, she felt that Chen Cang was quite nice¡­


    And, with this surgery Chen Cang had performed, Zhang Yan couldn¡¯t help but see him in a new light.


    Zhang Jinfeng was a chubby little old lady about to enter her sixties. She was plump and jubilant. Slowly stepping forward, she sized up Chen Cang, her brows smiling, her eyes smiling, and said, ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯ve worked hard! It really was troublesome for you. Without you, our gynecology department would have faced another issue.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Director Zhang, you¡¯re being too polite. It¡¯s only natural for departments to cooperate with each other. I just did what I was supposed to do¡­¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng saw that Chen Cang was neither arrogant nor impatient, but rather straightforward, and she couldn¡¯t help but smile contentedly, nodding her head.


    Looking at Chen Cang, her eyes were full of satisfaction, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel a growing fondness for him.


    [Ding! Zhang Jinfeng¡¯s favorability +10.]


    Zhang Jinfeng turned to look at Wei Zhi, extending her hand: ¡°Director Wei, thanks so much for making the trip.¡±


    Wei Zhi shook his head, took off his mask, and said with a smile, ¡°That would be too formal. It¡¯s about saving lives; how can you call it troublesome? It¡¯s our job!¡±


    ¡°Besides, if I hadn¡¯t come today, I would have missed such a wonderful surgery.¡±


    At this point, Wei Zhi turned to observe Chen Cang, looking at this energetic, handsome young man, he couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Truly, heroes emerge from the young; each generation is stronger than the last!¡±


    ¡°Young man, you¡¯re great. This surgery was quite inspiring for me. Let¡¯s communicate more often. My name is Wei Zhi, the director of thoracic surgery at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.¡±


    Wei Zhi reached out his hand first, and Chen Cang quickly responded with both hands.


    ¡°Director Wei, my name is Chen Cang, I¡¯ve long admired you. Every surgical conference, I¡¯ve seen you on the podium. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you,¡± Chen Cang sincerely said.


    The fact that Wei Zhi praised Chen Cang didn¡¯t mean that Wei Zhi¡¯s level wasn¡¯t good. After all, the first heart-lung transplant surgery in Dongyang Province had been performed in the thoracic surgery department of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.


    ¡°Visit the Provincial People¡¯s when you have time. Young people should communicate more! If you need anything in the future, contact me. I think very highly of you, young man!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, taking the initiative to exchange contact information with Wei Zhi.


    One should never disdain making one more friend or elder, as this can be of great help to your future.


    Wei Zhi did not stay for long. After greeting Li Baoshan and the others, he left in a hurry.


    Their time was precious. As one of Dongyang Province¡¯s leading hospitals, the Provincial People¡¯s bore a heavy responsibility, and each department head had to safeguard the last line of defense for people¡¯s lives.


    This was like a general protecting his country, a significant responsibility!


    If these directors were generals fighting against disease, Chen Cang was a warrior charging into battle, already beginning to make a name for himself in this field.


    After some exchanges, everyone gradually became familiar with one another.


    Actually, it was mainly Zhang Jinfeng, who, with a smile on her face, looked at Chen Cang, liking him more and more, and couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Little Chen, do you have a partner?¡±


    Before Chen Cang had the chance to speak, Li Baoshan took over the conversation.


    ¡°Ah¡­ Little Chen is just too focused on his work, neglecting his personal life a bit¡­ Director Zhang, your gynecology department is full of women; you should find Little Chen a nice girl!¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng immediately laughed, ¡°There are many women in gynecology, doctors and patients alike. But those who come to gynecology are here to get treated. Think about it, they either have issues with childbirth or not having children. Tell me, which of these should I introduce to Little Chen?¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the female doctors in our department¡­ they are all tough as men, each one more tired than those in your emergency department! If Little Chen got together with a gynecologist, the couple would only meet in the operating room, and certainly no chance at home!¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng, a plump old lady nearing sixty, looked festive and kind, and when she laughed, she was just like the friendly aunt next door, speaking with a sense of humor that was off the charts.


    ¡°If I were to introduce her to Little Chen, wouldn¡¯t people say that I, Zhang Jinfeng, lack integrity!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly burst into laughter; who could guess that this plump little old lady was one of the only two nationally renowned doctors at the Provincial Second Hospital?


    Zhang Jinfeng¡¯s tune changed suddenly, and he said: ¡°However, I really do have a niece who works at the fertility center. The job isn¡¯t tiring, and the work hours are pretty relaxed. She¡¯s also quite good-looking. Do you want to meet her?¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile; he was in no mood for this, nor did he have the time.


    After finishing up today, he still needed to pick up his younger brother for the start of school, and then prepare for the new students¡¯ orientation tomorrow. Where would he find the time for matchmaking?


    Besides, he still needed to carve out some time to strategize on how to court Dr. Meng. After all, she was his skill library now. If he wanted to learn skills, first he had to increase her favorability towards him.


    What if¡­


    What if he got a girlfriend and Dr. Meng got jealous? Favorability was hard-won; Chen Cang decided to cherish it well.


    Chen Cang smiled and made up an excuse to politely decline Zhang Jinfeng¡¯s offer.


    Which also got everyone laughing.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After leaving the operating room, Chen Cang walked side by side with Li Baoshan.


    Li Baoshan spoke thoughtfully: ¡°Little Chen, are you busy these days?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback: ¡°What do you mean, Director?¡±


    Li Baoshan smiled: ¡°Nothing much, it¡¯s just that it¡¯s recruitment time again for the provincial government units. Our Emergency Department definitely needs to grow next year, and we¡¯re certainly short on hands, but this year, I¡¯ve already applied for a doctorate and a deputy director, so we definitely can¡¯t get any more staffing quota this year.¡±


    ¡°However, we definitely need to recruit a batch of new people. Undergraduates need to go through standardized training nowadays, and not many people are willing to take temporary jobs, so I negotiated with the hospital and secured a few more contract spots.¡±


    ¡°So before the provincial government recruitment starts, we¡¯ll do a round of hiring. I¡¯ve already reported it to the hospital, and there might be a job fair this weekend. If you have time, spare half a day to help out, see if there¡¯s anyone suitable; after all, some of these recruits may need to assist you. Try to find someone who meets your standards.¡±


    Li Baoshan fell silent for a few seconds, then continued: ¡°Initially, I thought about having you continue working under Old Chen and the others, serving as an assistant for the time being, but now I think I can¡¯t do that anymore.¡±


    ¡°The structure of the department needs some adjustment. At present, I plan to focus on three directions: general surgery, headed by Bingsheng, orthopedic surgery led by Director An, and thoracic surgery, which will be taken on by the deputy director to be recruited.¡±


    ¡°With this arrangement, the core strength of our department will have Director An, Chen Bingsheng, and the new deputy director in the middle tier, with the new doctor, Wang Qian, you, Qin Yue, and Wang Yong as the new generation. But this means we¡¯re short on reserve talent.¡±


    ¡°At first, I thought you, being a bachelor¡¯s degree graduate, might be a bit behind Wang Qian and Qin Yue. But now, it seems you¡¯re a cut above them.¡±


    With that, Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang and smiled: ¡°In the end, Little Chen, I¡¯ve underestimated you, really. Your potential is so strong, your future is limitless.¡±


    ¡°I even think now that the Emergency Department at Provincial Second Hospital can¡¯t hold you back.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile and didn¡¯t say a word.


    As Li Baoshan continued, watching Chen Cang and walking beside him, he said: ¡°Of course, I also don¡¯t intend to hold you back. You should go out and see more. Our Dongyang Province is relatively underdeveloped, and many major surgeries can¡¯t be performed here.¡±


    ¡°When I see you operating, I think if I had your kind of talent at your age, I definitely wouldn¡¯t confine myself to such a small hospital.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, following Li Baoshan and remaining silent. He didn¡¯t know what to say; after all, it wouldn¡¯t mean much, no matter how much they talked.


    Suddenly, Li Baoshan stopped walking, turned around, and looked at Chen Cang: ¡°So! What I¡¯ve been thinking is that what I can offer you is a platform!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, our Provincial Second Hospital might be rundown and develops rather slowly, but our Emergency Department has one advantage¡ªit can provide you with a starting platform. So, just know this in your heart, be bold in what you do. I won¡¯t have you assisting them anymore. Once we get those contractors, I¡¯ll pick out a few to assist you.¡±


    With these words, Li Baoshan left Chen Cang utterly dumbfounded.


    ¡°Director, what do you mean?¡±


    Li Baoshan chuckled: ¡°I mean, let go and do it. If there¡¯s any trouble, I¡¯ll have your back!¡±


    ps: For now, three updates. Thank you all for your support.

 Chapter 214 - Chapter 214: Chapter 215: Little Benefactor, I Have Come to Repay Your Kindness!

    Chapter 214: Chapter 215: Little Benefactor, I Have Come to Repay Your Kindness!


    When the topic of work came up, the mood became heavy.


    Luo Zhou looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Actually, what I¡¯m thinking is to stay in Anyang City with Jiajia, and besides, Jiajia has not yet graduated. I¡¯m hoping to find a job to start with, and keep an eye out for opportunities as we move along.¡±


    Dong Jia comforted, ¡°I think it¡¯s also okay to go to the surrounding counties and cities. The salary is higher there, and the hospitals really value us after we arrive.¡±


    ¡°Unlike Anyang, as the capital of Dongyang Province, there¡¯s a huge influx of graduates every year. Local hospitals don¡¯t value us at all, and the selection process is not necessarily fair and just. It¡¯s all about finding connections, pulling strings, paying for positions¡­ a complete mess smothered in corruption.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, that was indeed the reality. As a central city in Dongyang Province, its development was already a bit behind.


    This backwardness was not only in terms of slow economic development but also a lag in systems and mindsets.


    Luo Zhou chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s also interesting when you think about it. Those impressive cities are all attracting talent, offering a bunch of incentives for undergraduates, even relocation allowances. But our great Anyang is so poor it¡¯s almost last, without any worry. It really is domineering. It¡¯s this late and still no news; does the city really not fear losing all its talent?¡±


    Dong Jia rolled her eyes at Luo Zhou, ¡°You¡¯re the one obsessing over Anyang. Anyone with capability has already left. Who would stay in this dump? Your senior graduated last year and went to Anyang Central Hospital, a tier-three hospital, barely making six thousand a month. It¡¯s okay if you¡¯re not married, but what can you do with that if you are?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°If there¡¯s an opportunity, it¡¯s better to go out. Graduates seeking higher education in coastal cities like Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Guangzhou, those are great places. Shenzhen doesn¡¯t have a medical university, so their talent entirely depends on recruitment. I¡¯ve heard some seniors who went there got pretty good benefits, with starting annual salaries over 200,000 right off the bat.¡±


    Luo Zhou scratched his head, ¡°Cang Er, you know me, I¡¯m not one for great ambitions. A stable job, staying not far from home, being able to accompany Jiajia¡ªthat¡¯s good enough for me.¡±


    ¡°Also, my parents and Jiajia¡¯s are getting older, too. They¡¯d feel more at ease with me in Anyang, and if something came up, like an illness, I could help out. If I were to leave, I wouldn¡¯t be comfortable with their situation.¡±


    Dong Jia glanced at Luo Zhou, cursing with her mouth, but her heart was sweet.


    Luo Zhou continued, ¡°This weekend, there¡¯s a big recruitment fair at our school. Quite a few large tier-three hospitals from Anyang City are offering contract positions. I¡¯m going to give it a try.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah, even the provincial second hospital where I work has shifted to record-based employment. The treatment for contract workers is not bad. In our hospital¡¯s general surgery department, a contract worker, after passing the probation period and getting prescription rights, can make seven or eight thousand a month including bonuses.¡±


    Chen Cang was referring to Zhou Xiaodong. Wang Yong earned more than Zhou Xiaodong because the emergency surgeries were frequent; he managed patients for Chen Cang, and together they performed dozens of operations a month. If last month¡¯s bonuses were counted, the figure could exceed ten thousand. However, knowing the hospital¡¯s character, it would probably take months before any bonuses were handed out.


    Luo Zhou smiled, ¡°Provincial second hospital is still a provincial tier-three, after all. Among the dozens of tier-three hospitals big and small in Anyang City, to get into the top ten, the competition must be tough.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Dong Jia became unreceptive, ¡°Luo Zhou, I¡¯ll come with you when the time comes. I¡¯ll print out fifty copies of your resume. If you don¡¯t give them all out, you¡¯re not allowed to leave!¡±


    Her words made everyone laugh.


    After leaving the restaurant, Luo Zhou suddenly asked, ¡°Cang Er, why don¡¯t you come to my dorm and sit for a while? Let¡¯s rest our feet; the afternoon is still young.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and asked, ¡°Are there any people in the dorm?¡±


    Luo Zhou, ¡°Basically, everyone has moved out. I haven¡¯t because Jiajia is still in her dorm, but they¡¯re all around the campus. We can get together tonight.¡±


    Chen Cang hummed a response.


    Back when Chen Cang was in class, he got along well with everyone. After all, there weren¡¯t many boys in the medical school, so they all got on pretty well, playing games and basketball together occasionally.


    The dormitory supervisor, Auntie, had just finished her meal and was walking by the glass door of the dormitory building to aid her digestion when she noticed Luo Zhou bringing Chen Cang over.


    She was suddenly stunned, ¡°Eh? Aren¡¯t you that boy? What¡¯s your name again¡­?¡±


    Chen Cang laughed, ¡°Auntie, you still remember me?¡±


    Auntie couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°How could I forget? You guys from that dorm often forgot your keys and came to borrow from me; I remember each and every one of you clearly.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s been a few years since I¡¯ve seen you, have you started working?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve started working.¡±


    Auntie nodded with satisfaction, ¡°Not bad, Auntie always thought highly of you.¡±


    Luo Zhou sighed, ¡°Auntie, in all these years you haven¡¯t changed a bit, still judging people by their looks!¡±


    The aunt burst into laughter, ¡°I may not have any other skills, but I sure remember faces well! Are you planning to stay even after graduation, waiting for me to kick you out?¡±


    The school dormitory didn¡¯t allow just anyone in, and this dormitory caretaker aunt was like a pair of discerning eyes¡ªseemingly inconspicuous, she could pick out anyone she hadn¡¯t seen before.


    Luo Zhou was supposed to move out of the dormitory after graduation, but he had asked Guan Wei to put in a good word for him, which delayed the move a bit.


    After all, renting a place outside was quite expensive, so he figured he¡¯d wait until he got a job.


    When he returned to the dormitory, no one was there except for his bed which still had a quilt on it, and the rest of the place was quite tidy.


    The weather was a bit hot, so Luo Zhou stripped off his T-shirt, bared his torso, and said, ¡°Cang Er, you go sleep on my bed for a while.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°No need, I¡¯m not tired.¡±


    Luo Zhou laughed, ¡°Well then¡­ how about we play a round? Are you still gaming?¡±


    As he spoke, Luo Zhou immediately opened LoL and logged in, with the familiar ¡®weng¡¯ sound starting up.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°You go ahead, I¡¯ll watch you play.¡±


    The familiar college days, they were spent just like this.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the afternoon, Chen Cang started with class assignments, according to the specialty training hospitals, since everyone was usually in the hospital for specialized training, this made class management more convenient.


    There were quite a few specialty training hospitals for Dongyang Medical University¡¯s graduates this year, and only about thirty trainees were assigned to the Second Provincial Hospital.


    A small class of just over thirty people was indeed exquisite.


    Twenty girls and ten boys.


    However¡­ Chen Cang suddenly noticed the chubby guy sitting beside him who was giving him a strange smile seemed familiar.


    ¡°Classmate¡­ no grudges, no hatreds, why are you staring at me?¡± Chen Cang held back for a long time, but he couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, stared at the plump head next to him, and said seriously.


    Qian Lin was startled at first, then burst into laughter, ¡°My benefactor, my name is Qian Lin. To be honest, I¡¯m here to repay a kindness!¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded.


    When others repay a kindness, they turn into a fair young lady¡ªwhat kind of repayment is yours, more like a visit for vengeance, right?


    If you¡¯re here to repay a kindness with your dignified appearance, you¡¯re definitely looking for a high-class lady.


    But¡­


    If he really was here to repay a kindness, I couldn¡¯t afford to miss out, right?


    Chen Cang racked his brain trying to remember, had he ever given a steamed bun to a homeless kid? Or saved a child with an intellectual disability in the hospital.


    But he just couldn¡¯t link himself with this 190-pound man.


    Still, Chen Cang pondered for a while, perhaps he really did save him?


    Looking at his current attire, he must have come into some money; he couldn¡¯t waste any opportunities. What if it was a chance given by the heavens?


    With this in mind, Chen Cang still said earnestly, ¡°Just give me the cash value!¡±

 Chapter 215 - Chapter 215: Chapter 216: Geng Yan!

    Chapter 215: Chapter 216: Geng Yan!


    Chen Cang¡¯s ¡°Just discount it!¡± left Qian Lin completely dumbfounded.


    Qian Lin had thought Chen Cang was a dedicated, hardworking, earnest, and serious person who didn¡¯t crack jokes¡ªa real role model, as one would expect of an academic whiz.


    But here he was, encountering a joker!


    Qian Lin waved his hands, ¡°It¡¯s not about the money!¡±


    Chen Cang shifted in his seat, ¡°I don¡¯t have any romantic debts, and I don¡¯t have a history of debauchery. Even if I did, the child wouldn¡¯t be as big as you.¡±


    Qian Lin blushed with shame. Damn, I¡¯ve met my match¡­ this guy is even thicker-skinned than me!


    Thinking this, Qian Lin, afraid that Chen Cang might get the wrong idea, quickly said, ¡°No, no, no, brother, listen to me. Qian Liang is my uncle!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned and swallowed hard. What do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?


    There are so many people with the surname Qian, why don¡¯t you say your grandfather is Triple Qian? I might actually have believed that¡­


    Qian Lin continued, ¡°My uncle wanted me to apply for the graduate program under the female demon Meng Xi. Thanks to you, brother, you saved me from a dire situation, allowing me to escape the sea of suffering!¡±


    Chen Cang was puzzled, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Qian Lin, surprised, looked at Chen Cang, ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡±


    Chen Cang looked clueless, ¡°Know what?¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly felt that he might lack an understanding of Meng Xi.


    Qian Lin went on, ¡°Hey, it seems you really don¡¯t get it, or else you wouldn¡¯t have brazenly gone to sign up with the female demon Meng Xi! Let me tell you about it so you¡¯re forewarned. How tough is Director Meng? Definitely as tough as a calf, no question about it. But she¡¯s too intense and too strict. I was under Director Meng for a month and I lost more than 20 pounds. Up early and out late, surgeries during the day, papers at night, even meal times were busy. It was such torment, I felt like I was falling apart¡­¡±


    ¡°I just want a peaceful time during graduate school, to find a partner, fall in love, get a stable job after graduating, have a chubby son, and live a simple life.¡±


    ¡°If I had followed Director Meng, wouldn¡¯t my life be ruined? That¡¯s why I¡¯m so grateful.¡±


    ¡°So, brother, you saved me from a dire situation, how could I not be grateful?¡±


    Chen Cang understood it then, that was the story.


    However, compared to what he had received, what was this trivial matter?


    After all, Director Meng had unlocked three skill trees for him, and those were purple skill trees, no less.


    How could he not endure some hardships?


    Moreover, he still had to work hard to win over Meng Xi, to gain her favor and continuously unlock new skills!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After a while, a teacher from the graduate student office came in, and it was naturally time to start explaining some matters, including the special training program, classes, and a whole series of work.


    Chen Cang wasn¡¯t too concerned, as his graduate studies were just for getting a degree. For his clinical training, he would stay at his own hospital, without the need to rotate departments.


    As for classes, he could choose a few that interested him to attend.


    Around four in the afternoon, the teacher made a temporary decision to appoint Qian Lin as class monitor.


    Only then did Chen Cang realize that this chubby guy in front of him had actually scored more than four hundred points on the entrance exam?


    This made Chen Cang believe more in the saying, when God closes a door, he nails it shut¡ªyou had better find a window early on¡­


    The more talented they are, the more eccentric¡­


    What pleased Chen Cang, though, was that among the twenty or so girls in the class, quite a few were good-looking. This made him look forward even more to his upcoming graduate student life.


    After the small class meeting ended, everyone was to attend the hospital¡¯s welcoming ceremony for new students.


    The presence of Qian Lin made Chen Cang feel that the weather wasn¡¯t so hot anymore; the big guy truly provided a shady spot for him, bringing a hint of coolness as they walked.


    Really, it¡¯s quite cool under a big fat guy.


    Chen Cang had no interest in the afternoon induction ceremony, but Qian Lin was full of excitement.


    ¡°This is our school¡¯s 60th-anniversary celebration. They¡¯ve invited quite a few big names, as well as some outstanding seniors. Let¡¯s go take a look.¡±


    As soon as they entered the venue, Chen Cang saw Dong Jia wearing a red banner, probably to receive those alumni returning to the school.


    Luo Zhou, on the other hand, was chatting with a group of people on the side¡ªpeople Chen Cang was very familiar with, apparently all former classmates of his.


    Everyone was stunned when they saw Chen Cang walk in!


    ¡°Damn! Cang Er, you¡¯re here too?¡±


    ¡°Yeah! Haven¡¯t seen you in a long time, where have you been hanging out?¡±


    ¡°Cang Er, you¡¯re not the big shot our school invited to speak at the sixtieth anniversary, are you?¡±


    A bunch of people started to make a fuss, and Qian Lin, who loved to join in the excitement, stood by and watched. His interest in Chen Cang was much stronger than in participating in the ceremony.


    Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile, ¡°I am here to attend the mobilization meeting today, that¡¯s correct!¡±


    When everyone heard this, they immediately started jeering, ¡°Wow, impressive, huh? Tell us, what have you done in these three years to reach the summit of life so quickly?¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t get accepted for a Ph.D. at Xiehe, did you?¡±


    Indeed, this time they had invited quite a few students who had been accepted into prestigious schools to spread positive energy.


    Chen Cang cleared his throat and gave a sheepish smile, ¡°I did get accepted!¡±


    ¡°But¡­ it¡¯s at our school as a graduate student!¡±


    ¡°I am here as a new student for the new student mobilization meeting!¡±


    After Chen Cang finished speaking, everyone was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.


    But no one made fun of Chen Cang; everyone was an adult, and at most, they would crack a joke.


    ¡°Come on, Cang Er, from now on you¡¯ll have to address us as ¡®senior.''¡±


    ¡°Right, right, right! Say it, let¡¯s hear it!¡±


    While the crowd was razzing him, Chen Cang suddenly stood up and turned his head, ¡°I¡¯m going to use the restroom.¡±


    Everyone was taken aback, thinking Chen Cang might be upset.


    But as they turned around, they suddenly saw a woman walking over.


    Everyone paused for a moment.


    The woman was walking beside a tall and large man, and they really looked like a handsome couple.


    Luo Zhou¡¯s face changed at once. Geng Yan?


    Everyone was stunned as well.


    Geng Yan was also here for the event?


    No, that¡¯s not right, who is the man beside Geng Yan? Geng Yan¡¯s partner isn¡¯t Chen Cang¡­


    Suddenly, everyone realized why Chen Cang had gone to the restroom.


    So that¡¯s it¡­


    Seeing everyone, Geng Yan happily walked over, ¡°Luo Zhou, Qian Lin, you guys are here too?¡±


    Luo Zhou nodded with a smile, ¡°Geng Yan, long time no see.¡±


    Geng Yan smiled, ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s been three years; time really flies.¡±


    At that moment, a fashionably dressed girl approached, ¡°Luo Zhou, you overlook me just because you saw the goddess? That¡¯s too much.¡±


    Luo Zhou looked up, ¡°Xu Huihui? You¡¯re here too? It looks like we can have a lively reunion this time.¡±


    Geng Yan nodded with a smile, ¡°Of course, after graduating from undergrad, we never really gathered together. We should make the most of this time.¡±


    Xu Huihui looked at the tall, handsome, and refined man beside Geng Yan with encouragement, ¡°Geng Yan, aren¡¯t you going to introduce us? Who is this?¡±


    Geng Yan smiled with happiness, ¡°This is my husband, Jing Ran, who is also a senior alumnus from our school.¡±


    Jing Ran greeted everyone with a suave smile, ¡°Hello everyone, I am Jing Ran.¡±


    People nodded in response, and at that moment, everyone knew who he was!


    The legendary senior brother Jing Ran.


    The same one, who during his undergraduate years had published two SCI papers, causing a sensation across the whole school. One of his proposed ideas was bought by a pharmaceutical company for nearly a million yuan. Later, he pursued his graduate studies at Xiehe and was recommended for direct admission to their doctoral program.

    Jing Ran¡¯s story could be called an exemplary tale held up by the school!


    Such a story of an academic overachiever was like an adrenaline rush to those students inexperienced in the ways of the world, stirring a fiery passion in them!


    Even Xu Huihui¡¯s eyes shone with excitement, ¡°Wow, so you¡¯re the senior Jing Ran, I had no idea you were this handsome!¡±


    It must be said, the name Jing Ran was truly legendary at Dongyang Medical University.


    Luo Zhou couldn¡¯t help but feel a twinge in his heart. Thankfully, Chen Cang had just left. Otherwise, how awkward would that have been?


    Comparing an ex-boyfriend with the current one is a terribly embarrassing affair.


    Even Qian Lin and a few others let out a small sigh.


    Though Jing Ran was impressive, they didn¡¯t have the best relationship with him; frankly, they weren¡¯t in the same league. They could respect him, utter a ¡°you¡¯re awesome,¡± but that was about it, with no need for flattery.


    But all couldn¡¯t help feeling a twinge of regret, remembering how good Chen Cang and Geng Yan were together during their university days.


    Such a pity¡­


    Xu Huihui curiously asked, ¡°Senior Jing Ran, did the school invite you to the anniversary celebration?¡±


    Jing Ran nodded, his voice magnetic, ¡°Yes, the school sent me an invitation for the celebration, so here I am.¡±


    Everyone fell silent; they had been asked to volunteer and help out, whereas he had been invited to attend the ceremony, highlighting a vast difference.


    Luo Zhou couldn¡¯t help but feel contemplative. Chen Cang, oh Chen Cang, your rival is too formidable; I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no way I can help.


    Suddenly, Xu Huihui said, ¡°Senior Jing Ran, you¡¯re not in a hurry to return to the capital, are you? After the ceremony is over, Geng Yan, why not bring Senior Jing Ran along for a gathering?¡±


    Geng Yan nodded; this boyfriend truly had an impressive presence!


    Especially in Dongyang Province, where he could be proudly introduced anywhere.


    Hearing Xu Huihui¡¯s words, Geng Yan covered her mouth and laughed, ¡°No rush to go back, no, actually, I¡¯m not going back.¡±


    Everyone was surprised: ¡°Not going back?¡±


    Geng Yan¡¯s face radiated happiness, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m not going back. Jing Ran was recruited back here by Dong University¡¯s First Hospital to be the deputy chief of thoracic surgery. He¡¯s preparing to start working.¡±


    Luo Zhou and the others immediately felt envious!


    Now that¡¯s impressive!


    There was simply no comparison. They were struggling to find work after graduation, while he was brought in as a deputy director. Jing Ran was only six years older than them and had spent two to three years in a postdoctoral fellowship program after earning his Ph.D.


    Plus, he skipped the newbie phase right after arriving and directly took the position of deputy director. With such capability, it was truly enviable!


    Xu Huihui exclaimed in admiration, ¡°That¡¯s amazing, to be appointed deputy director right away, I¡¯m so envious!¡±


    After saying this, Xu Huihui suddenly asked with curiosity, ¡°By the way, Geng Yan, you¡¯re graduating this year too, right? Aren¡¯t you going to work?¡±


    Geng Yan smiled gently, ¡°When Dong University¡¯s First Hospital leaders were discussing conditions with Jing Ran, he hoped to bring me over, and Dean Liu agreed. I¡¯ll be starting work too, at the First Hospital¡¯s cardiology department.¡±


    ¡°So, we have plenty of time for get-togethers now!¡±


    Xu Huihui nodded, ¡°Geng Yan, you and Senior Jing Ran are about to get married, right?¡±


    Geng Yan nodded, ¡°Yes, planning to marry this year. When we came over, Jing Ran signed a contract with the hospital, which allocated us an apartment. We¡¯ll get married once it¡¯s renovated; remember to join us for the celebration when the time comes!¡±


    Jing Ran looked at everyone, smiled, and said, ¡°Folks, the meeting is starting, and I have to give a speech soon, so I won¡¯t chat more. Another day, I¡¯ll host a gathering for us all.¡±


    After speaking, Jing Ran and Geng Yan walked towards the inner area.


    Leaving the others steeped in a myriad of emotions.


    Xu Huihui called out, ¡°Geng Yan, wait for me.¡±


    After finishing her sentence, Xu Huihui followed them inside.


    Luo Zhou sighed and thought of Chen Cang, and then of Jing Ran. Suddenly he felt that if he were in Geng Yan¡¯s shoes, he might also choose Jing Ran. After all, the difference was too great.


    Just arriving, Jing Ran was offered a deputy director role, a house, and his wife had a job arranged; his life was spared the struggles of tens of years compared to their own, and most importantly, his future prospects were boundless.


    Qian Lin stood to one side, watched the whole scene from start to finish, and remained silent.


    Then he slowly asked Luo Zhou, ¡°Senior, what¡¯s the relationship between Geng Yan¡­ and Chen Cang?¡±


    ¡°`


    Luo Zhou was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Qian Lin. ¡°Geng Yan and Chen Cang were a couple in university, quite the center of attention back then. After Geng Yan went to the capital for her postgraduate studies, we lost touch with their story. But¡­ as you can see now, you¡¯ve seen it too.¡±


    Qian Lin nodded. As for Jing Ran, even though they were several years apart, he had occasionally heard about such a prodigy from Dongyang University.


    Could it be that his little benefactor was¡­ a love rival?


    Thinking of this, Qian Lin couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit more hostile towards Geng Yan and Jing Ran.


    After all, this kind of plot usually only occurs in novels and TV dramas.


    Qian Lin had already imagined a storyline where Geng Yan had abandoned Chen Cang from start to finish.


    At this thought, Qian Lin sighed.


    Reality turned out to be more melodramatic than fiction!


    ¡­


    Chen Cang was standing in the restroom, feeling the urge to leave the place.


    He truly hadn¡¯t expected to run into Geng Yan here.


    And¡­ who was the man with his arm around her?


    With those thoughts, Chen Cang shook his head.


    The past was already past, what was the point in dwelling on such matters?


    Besides, Geng Yan¡¯s affairs had long since ceased to concern him.


    It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t let go, but more that he felt a bit unwilling to do so.


    Three years had been enough time to let go of many things.


    What Chen Cang had put behind was Geng Yan, but what he couldn¡¯t swallow was his pride.


    We¡¯re all adults; there isn¡¯t so much fairness, let alone laughable justice.


    To put it bluntly, Chen Cang could disregard Geng Yan completely, even treating her as a stranger, but he couldn¡¯t stand being shown off in front of, being told: look, he¡¯s much better than you!


    So, Chen Cang left.


    Ultimately, it still came down to not being strong enough.


    If it had been just Geng Yan coming, Chen Cang might have greeted her with a smile, saying, ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    But now, Chen Cang shook his head with a smile.


    It would be best not to see her again.


    Out of sight, out of mind.


    Having said that, Chen Cang was about to leave.


    The so-called mobilization meeting didn¡¯t seem to hold much significance for him.


    Just then, Qian Lin walked in and upon seeing Chen Cang standing there, couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°I thought you had fallen in.¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°¡­The pit is a bit small.¡±


    Qian Lin: ¡­


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s about to start. Aren¡¯t you going to check it out?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°Not going, I¡¯ve got something.¡±


    Qian Lin suddenly smiled: ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry. Don¡¯t you want to know who that guy is?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know what he¡¯s best at?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know what it feels like to beat him in his strongest area?¡±


    ¡°Little benefactor, go for it! Why be timid?¡±


    ps: I¡¯ve reorganized the plot a bit, and the burst of updates will continue. Author, keep it up!


    In the future, I will make the update time more precise, at each 12 o¡¯clock, one in the morning and one in the evening. For each mistake, I¡¯ll add an extra update. (over a 10-minute difference)

 Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: Chapter 218: Assigning the Task (Extra for VV9897)

    Chapter 217: Chapter 218: Assigning the Task (Extra for VV9897)


    Qian Lin¡¯s words stirred Chen Cang¡¯s heart!


    Why did it sound so appealing?


    It felt like his blood was boiling!


    Imagining a certain indescribable scene in the future, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but get a little excited¡­


    Chen Cang, ¡°Could it be¡­ not good?¡±


    Qian Lin, with righteous indignation, ¡°How could it not be good, big brother? It¡¯s a matter of stealing a wife, you¡¯ve been cuckolded to that extent and it¡¯s still not okay?¡±


    That statement¡­ instantly ignited the fire in Chen Cang¡¯s small universe.


    Chen Cang stood up and walked away, and Qian Lin couldn¡¯t resist clapping his hands, ¡°That¡¯s the spirit!¡±


    ¡°No! We broke up first, it¡¯s not called being cuckolded¡­¡± Chen Cang suddenly turned around and seriously said.


    Qian Lin was stunned and fell silent, ¡°Are you just going to swallow the indignity and that¡¯s that!?¡±


    Chen Cang was silent, even though he didn¡¯t care about Geng Yan anymore, being surpassed by her current boyfriend felt just like the taste of old pickled vegetables, sour and pungent. (I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ve ever¡­)


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The two entered the venue and found a place to sit down.


    The president gave a speech; after all, it was a motivational assembly, and the president had to say something.


    However, for Qian Lin and Chen Cang, who were armed with notebooks, the speech was clearly a waste of time.


    At this point, the president finished the speech, and Qian Liang took the stage.


    Chen Cang nudged Qian Lin, ¡°Your uncle¡¯s on the stage now.¡±


    Qian Lin remained silent, and Chen Cang, curious, turned his head to see Qian Lin holding a notebook, scribbling and sketching.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang was stunned!


    ¡°What are you writing?¡±


    Qian Lin smiled mysteriously, ¡°Starting on hell mode!¡±


    After that, Qian Lin took out his cell phone and showed Chen Cang, ¡°See? These are Jing Ran¡¯s existing achievements! We have to break them one by one!¡±


    ¡°But don¡¯t worry, I have already categorized the various stages and tasks for you.¡±


    Afterwards, Qian Lin passed the notebook to Chen Cang, ¡°Look, in his freshman year, he won the National Inspirational Scholarship, the Fen Liquor Inspirational Scholarship, in his sophomore year¡­ in his junior year he successfully published his first national core academic paper, in his senior year he published his first paper with an impact factor of 1.3 in sci, in his fifth year, he participated in the College Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, won the Jinshang Cup Youth Entrepreneurship Competition¡¯s first prize, securing an entrepreneurial fund of 200,000 yuan, and in the same year, after perfecting his idea, it was bought by Reed Pharmaceutical Company for a pre-tax price of one million yuan, and then he published a paper with an impact factor of 4.7 in sci.¡±


    ¡°These are all his undergraduate achievements, and that year he was admitted to Xiehe with a high score of 451 points. I¡¯ve also looked into his brilliant record at Xiehe!¡±


    After saying this, Qian Lin looked at Chen Cang with a vicarious sense of pride, ¡°Little benefactor, rest assured, with me here, we will crush this Jing Ran thoroughly, letting him understand that finding a girlfriend requires learning how to analyze ¡®mate analysis¡¯, and properly figure out how awesome his ex-boyfriend is!¡±


    ¡°Now, we¡¯re just missing some data, and overall, we¡¯re almost done.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the notebook Qian Lin handed over with a dumbfounded face, speechless, thinking, ¡°Are you here to tease me?¡±


    Looking at Jing Ran¡¯s achievements one by one on the notebook, Qian Lin sighed, ¡°I figure, the specific information shouldn¡¯t be too far off from the real situation. Now we just wait for his speech, to see if there¡¯s anything that¡¯s not completely accounted for, and we¡¯ll just refine everything!¡±


    ¡°Little benefactor, don¡¯t worry. Based on my years of attending speeches and being in the audience, when he gives his speech, he¡¯ll definitely brag about his glorious deeds of the past years. We¡¯ll reorganize and summarize at that time. The spreadsheet will be completed!¡±


    ¡­


    As expected, after the leader finished speaking, it was Jing Ran¡¯s turn.


    At this moment, Qian Liang said to everyone, ¡°Today, we have specially invited some outstanding graduates from Dongyang Medical University. Next up, please welcome our outstanding graduate representative Jing Ran to the stage to speak. Let¡¯s give him a round of applause!¡±


    Instantly, applause erupted below, enthusiastically extraordinary, indicating that Jing Ran was indeed very popular!


    At this moment, Qian Lin and Chen Cang also widened their eyes and carefully sized up Geng Yan¡¯s current boyfriend.


    Jing Ran walked to the stage with calm and casual elegance, dressed in a formal suit, which, paired with his shiny hair, truly made him look stylish!


    But¡­


    This man was not as handsome as himself.


    Um, it was a face value competition!


    Completely victorious¡­


    Next was the talent¡­


    ¡°Hello everyone, I am Jing Ran. Perhaps the juniors and sophomores present do not know me, so let me introduce myself¡­¡±


    A whole bunch of stuff.


    ¡°Medicine is not just a clinical discipline; it is also a science. We must continuously improve medicine so that it can better serve us in clinical practice.¡±


    ¡°After I graduated from the postdoctoral station at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Fuwai Cardiovascular Disease Hospital, I was fortunate to be invited by Dean Liu to return to my alma mater to work.¡±


    ¡°Dean Liu asked me to share with everyone my learning experience over these years and the achievements I have made, to provide some inspiration for the future development directions of everyone here. I believe many of you are graduate students, so let me talk about what I did during my graduate studies to offer some help for your future learning and life.¡±


    At this time, Qian Lin held his breath, his hands tightly clutching a pen, ready to spring into action.


    ¡°Medicine is a clinical discipline, and we need to identify shortcomings in clinical practice to improve ourselves. As a professional degree graduate student, I spent most of my time in the hospital. As a surgeon, surgery is an experience we must go through, and we must excel at it. During my three years of graduate studies, I performed nearly a thousand surgeries, both large and small, and thanks to my mentor¡¯s trust, I independently led over six hundred of them. I¡¯m sharing these numbers to tell you that success does not come by luck. This large number of surgeries has provided me with many insights, and I¡¯ve found that surgery is not perfect and has many deficiencies.¡±


    ¡°I have published two papers in the ¡®Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery¡¯ and the ¡®Journal of Vascular Surgery,¡¯ improving two traditional surgical techniques. During my doctorate, my focus was on lung surgery. Recently, my colleagues and I have completed high-difficulty surgeries such as single-lung transplants, double-lung transplants, and heart-lung combined transplants¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°What I want to tell everyone is that there is no shortcut to success. When you work hard and reach a certain level, you will find that everything you once looked up to is within your reach!¡±


    ¡°I can candidly tell everyone that this year, when I was considering employment, I received invitations from over a dozen large hospitals, including those in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. None offered an annual salary lower than 500,000 yuan, including research funding of 500,000 to 1,000,000 yuan per year, a three-bedroom housing, and arrangements for my wife¡¯s employment¡­ and so on.¡±


    ¡°When you¡¯re not good enough, the external pressures are your goals to strive for. But when you are excellent, you¡¯ll find that those cars, houses, and money are just the necessities of life. As medical professionals, our dream is ultimately to heal the sick and save lives, to become renowned physicians, to contribute our strength in our respective positions. In a few decades, we can have the names of Chinese people inscribed on the Nobel Prize!¡±


    As soon as Jing Ran finished speaking, warm applause filled the hall!


    It was not just the students clapping, but also the parents, mentors, and college leaders who were all inspired by Jing Ran¡¯s lofty ambitions!


    The Nobel Prize, huh?


    What a grand goal!


    All the students were so moved by Jing Ran¡¯s words that they couldn¡¯t help feeling a surge of excitement and boiling passion!


    They couldn¡¯t help but clap and cheer!


    It was a resonance of the heart!


    Which new student doesn¡¯t come to school with the ambition to tower magnificently over all, to look down upon the world¡¯s peaks from the summit!


    Jing Ran¡¯s appearance satisfied everyone¡¯s deepest desires and thoughts.


    Even more so, Jing Ran voiced what lay deep in the hearts of them all!


    He spoke of their dreams.


    They too wanted to become such a person!


    In that moment, Jing Ran became their idol!

 Chapter 219 - Chapter 219: Chapter 220: Sudden Incident!

    Chapter 219: Chapter 220: Sudden Incident!


    The meeting wasn¡¯t over when Chen Cang left.


    He had done everything he needed to do; there was no point in staying.


    Thinking about the challenge, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    After all, what did Jing Ran have to do with him?


    Thinking back to his and Qian Lin¡¯s behavior in the conference hall, Chen Cang felt an urge to laugh.


    It was a bit childish!


    A bit ridiculous!


    Is effort only to surpass others? Must we always compare ourselves to others?


    Not necessarily, effort is merely to improve ourselves, to become more perfect, to heal more patients, to save more lives.


    Honestly, Chen Cang had been doing too well recently because of the system, but Jing Ran¡¯s emergence made Chen Cang curb the sprouting arrogance within him; there were many who were better than him, and they were outstanding even without a system, so why shouldn¡¯t he strive to work harder?


    Qian Lin was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, so it was normal for him to have immature thoughts; however, being twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old himself, Chen Cang should solve these problems with a mature perspective.


    Nonetheless, the task still had to be completed.


    Even without Jing Ran¡¯s arrival, the need to strive and work hard remained.


    Otherwise, what would be the point of pursuing this postgraduate study?


    He really had grown a bit lax recently; it was time to buckle down and get serious.


    In fact, just a moment ago, Chen Cang had been quite moved listening to Jing Ran¡¯s speech. That¡¯s someone with the courage to dream big; the Nobel Prize? He hadn¡¯t even considered it, had he?


    But here was someone daring to dream, daring to declare it loudly on such a stage!


    That was a capability.


    It was courage!


    He should aspire to learn from that kind of boldness and spirit!


    Just as Chen Cang was preparing to leave, he suddenly heard a sharp cry from the audience: ¡°Someone¡¯s fainted!¡±


    Chen Cang turned around and noticed that five or six rows to his left front, a crowd was gathered.


    Some were pinching the fainted person¡¯s philtrum, others were preparing to do chest compressions.


    Someone had already taken out their phone to dial 120!


    Years of emergency response instincts made Chen Cang rush over without a moment¡¯s hesitation.


    Though all the med students at the scene were well-organized in arranging the rescue, their experience was not particularly vast, and their means limited, perhaps even causing unnecessary complications!


    After Chen Cang rushed over, he found the man lying on the ground, breathing rapidly, with his head already titled to one side; it was likely that a worried student had accidentally caused an airway blockage while trying to prevent him from choking on his vomit.


    The man¡¯s breathing was becoming more and more labored, his face pallid!


    The people around suddenly didn¡¯t know what to do.


    Chen Cang touched his hand and found it somewhat cold.


    [Ding! A sudden rescue mission has been triggered: save a shock-stricken junior. Temporary rewards 1: A perfect level chest imaging skill, 2: A perfect level secretion test skill; after the completion of the mission, choose one to be permanently acquired!]


    After hearing this alert, Chen Cang was not at all pleased but took a deep breath instead.


    Judging by the system¡¯s rewards, the richer they were, the higher the difficulty implied.


    With such a perfect skill up for grabs, what kind of illness could it be?


    Moreover, the system had advanced the mission rewards to enable him to complete the task. This made Chen Cang even more solemn.


    At this moment, the staff in the front row, upon hearing of the incident, immediately picked up the microphone to maintain order at the scene!


    ¡°All students, please sit still. Do not move! Clear the aisle to facilitate the rescue of the attendee!¡±


    ¡°I repeat, all students stay seated and do not move!¡±


    Everyone had already realized the gravity of the situation. However, even without moving about, they all sat there craning their necks to look.


    Qian Liang and the others had rushed over in a hurry!


    Looking at the man¡¯s condition and after a quick check, Chen Cang had already taken out his phone and turned on the flashlight, then looked around at everyone and said, ¡°Open his mouth.¡±


    The boy next to him quickly nodded, somewhat at a loss as if he had never encountered such a situation before. He was nervous and his hands were trembling!


    When the light shone into the mouth, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but frown¡ªthings looked serious!


    Laryngeal edema.


    Could it be¡­ anaphylactic shock?


    Several terms popped into Chen Cang¡¯s mind.


    But¡­ what could have caused the anaphylactic shock?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang asked the boy who was holding the mouth open, ¡°Did he feel unwell before passing out? Or did he eat or drink anything? Or was there any particular adverse reaction?¡±


    The boy shook his head: ¡°He didn¡¯t eat anything, but he seemed to be choking and coughing violently, coughing badly¡ªwe thought he choked on water!¡±


    ¡°But then, he just collapsed on the ground! And then¡­ this happened¡­¡±


    Suddenly, Chen Cang looked down and noticed a large amount of watery secretions on the ground, and also¡­ some membrane-like substances!


    A possibility immediately sprung to mind for Chen Cang.


    Qian Liang, Liu Jingsheng, and other vice-principals had also gathered around. Seeing Chen Cang crouching on the ground, Liu Jingsheng was about to speak.


    Suddenly, Qian Liang stopped him and shook his head.


    Although they were all leading directors, it didn¡¯t mean they all understood emergency care; many emergency rescue techniques were much more specialized than what they knew.


    At this time, Chen Cang stood up, and Qian Liang looked at Chen Cang, quickly asking, ¡°Chen, what¡¯s going on?¡±


    After pondering for a moment, Chen Cang said with a grave expression, ¡°I suspect this is pulmonary hydatid cyst disease causing an anaphylactic shock. He needs to be rushed to the hospital for anti-allergy treatment immediately. Moreover, if it really is pulmonary hydatid cyst disease, we need to prepare for surgery next!¡±


    At this moment, Jing Ran stood up from the ground. After Chen Cang¡¯s examination, he too had analyzed the patient.


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Jing Ran nodded earnestly, ¡°He¡¯s right, I also suspect it¡¯s pulmonary hydatid cyst disease. We don¡¯t usually have such patients here in Dongyang; it¡¯s more common in pastoral areas like Xinjiang, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and the like. I¡¯ve seen patients like this before, very similar!¡±


    At that moment, the boy suddenly said, ¡°Right, he is from Inner Mongolia, we were just talking about it, his family is from the pastoral area.¡±


    Qian Liang nodded. At this time, the driver had already run in: ¡°Principal Qian, the car is ready!¡±


    Without another word, Chen Cang picked up the man and ran outside.


    Every second counted now!


    Jing Ran said to Qian Liang, ¡°Principal Qian, I¡¯ll go too. This kind of surgery¡­ if it¡¯s confirmed to be pulmonary hydatid cyst disease, I¡¯m worried there aren¡¯t many people here who can perform it, as it¡¯s a very special type of thoracic surgery.¡±


    Qian Liang, with a solemn face, walked outside following Chen Cang.


    Hearing Jing Ran¡¯s words, he nodded, ¡°Okay, come along.¡±


    Jing Ran hurried after them outside!


    It was fortunate that Chen Cang was strong, managing to heft the tall young man directly into the car.


    Qian Liang sat in the front passenger seat, while Jing Ran, Chen Cang, and the patient were in the back.


    Qian Liang directly instructed, ¡°Go to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.¡±


    The driver nodded and headed straight there.


    Qian Liang turned to look at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, how confident are you?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°We¡¯ll see when we get there. It looks similar, but¡­ I¡¯m not entirely certain; many more tests are needed.¡±


    Qian Liang nodded. For some reason, he had quite a bit of trust in Chen Cang.


    Perhaps it was because Chen Cang had always been convincing them with his actions!


    This made him unconsciously develop a sense of trust!

 Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: Chapter 222: Need a Commander!

    Chapter 221: Chapter 222: Need a Commander!


    The vehicle arrived at the Provincial People¡¯s Emergency Department, and the stretcher was already prepared.


    The patient was promptly taken into the resuscitation room!


    Chen Cang did not hastily choose to learn the ¡°Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst Excision.¡±


    After all, this was not an ordinary surgery but a third-level procedure, infinitely close to fourth-level.


    In the central and northern regions, it was generally treated as a fourth-level surgery, but the system clearly took the national situation into account.


    After all, this disease is common in pastoral areas, especially during the seventies and eighties. Back then, there were many cases of pulmonary hydatid cysts, with hundreds of surgeries conducted annually in pastoral regions, and the treatment for these surgeries was quite mature.


    At that time, a hospital in a certain pastoral autonomous region had achieved a surgical success rate that surpassed top tier hospitals such as Xiehe and West China, earning great acclaim.


    Learning a third-level surgery required spending 4 skill points, and upgrading to advanced level required an additional 6 skill points, meaning that mastering advanced ¡°Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst Excision¡± would need ten skill points.


    Considering this, Chen Cang was somewhat reluctant.


    After all, such surgeries were too rare. What if¡­ the diagnosis was not this disease? Wouldn¡¯t that be a waste?


    However, once confirmed, Chen Cang would not hesitate at all!


    After all, the rewards brought by this disease were either perfect-level chest imaging interpretation or perfect-level secretion testing, one could choose between the two.


    At this moment, one could see the level and ability of the Provincial People¡¯s Emergency team.


    From receiving the patient to examination, starting monitoring, preparing drugs, and carrying out various tests, everything was done in an orderly and swift manner.


    Chen Cang looked on with envy.


    At this time, Wei Zhi and a man in his fifties had already come out. Upon seeing Qian Liang, they quickly approached.


    Qian Liang said anxiously, ¡°Thank you for your efforts, Director Wei, Director Zhang.¡±


    Zhang Peiyi was the director of the Provincial People¡¯s Emergency Department, a vigorous and robust man who at a distance didn¡¯t look like a doctor because he had shaved his head completely bald, giving him a fierce aura.


    Zhang Peiyi waved his hand, ¡°Let¡¯s save the patient first. By the way¡­ who is Jing Ran?¡±


    Jing Ran was taken aback for a moment, then stepped forward and said, ¡°Hello, Director Zhang, I am Jing Ran.¡±


    Zhang Peiyi asked, ¡°You¡¯ve been at Fuwai Hospital. How much do you know about pulmonary hydatid cysts?¡±


    Jing Ran pondered for a moment, ¡°If confirmed, surgery can be performed, but right now the priority is to stabilize the patient¡¯s condition. I strongly suspect ruptured hydatid cysts entering the bronchi, causing severe coughing fits, chest pain, and then coughing up large amounts of water-like or membrane-like matter, and allergic reactions can occur. Severe cases can lead to anaphylactic shock, and large amounts of cyst fluid entering the bronchi can cause asphyxiation.¡±


    ¡°So currently, we should quickly administer anti-allergy treatment while conducting examinations to confirm the patient¡¯s condition, and then strive to arrange for surgery as soon as possible.¡±


    Chen Cang saw Jing Ran speak methodically and couldn¡¯t help but glance sideways, because he had said what Chen Cang himself wanted to say.


    Impressive!


    Actually, Jing Ran admired Chen Cang greatly as well. He had witnessed Chen Cang¡¯s emergency rescue process firsthand: rapid assistance, calm handling, composed analysis, quick disease assessment, and timely patient transport. The sequence of actions was like an emergency combo, which made Jing Ran feel genuinely moved and respectful!


    Most crucially, he hadn¡¯t expected Chen Cang to make such an accurate diagnosis of this extremely rare disease.


    Because he was in the capital and close to Inner Mongolia, he had some understanding of the disease, but Chen Cang, working in such an environment, could still analyze and handle it, which definitely showed a level of competence!


    At this time, a nurse hurriedly ran out.


    ¡°Director, the patient¡¯s blood pressure is only 80/50, do we administer anti-allergy now?¡±


    Zhang Peiyi shook his head, ¡°Give epinephrine to raise the blood pressure first, then administer dexamethasone once the blood pressure is up. How¡¯s breathing? No respiratory failure, right?¡±


    The nurse nodded, ¡°No, not presently, but the blood oxygen saturation is a bit low.¡±


    The group walked together toward the resuscitation room.


    The bedside B-ultrasound examination was currently underway, and everyone was holding their breath, intently watching the images on the B-ultrasound monitor.


    Although not very knowledgeable about B-ultrasound examinations, they could still generally understand what was on the screen.


    The examining doctor suddenly took a snapshot, and had an approximate judgment in mind, ¡°Echinococcal cysts can be definitely diagnosed, there¡¯s no problem with that, but the key issue now is that we don¡¯t know whether there have been any ruptures or how many hidden cysts that can¡¯t be seen might exist. These are somewhat troublesome because if the echinococcal cysts are very small, we might still fail to detect them.¡±


    Zhang Peiyi asked, ¡°Can¡¯t B-ultrasound provide a definite diagnosis?¡±


    The B-ultrasound doctor shook his head, ¡°There¡¯s only a certain probability, perhaps more examinations are needed to complete the diagnosis.¡±


    At this moment, Jing Ran suddenly said, ¡°The accuracy of B-ultrasound in diagnosing echinococcal cysts is over 90%, but it is not as accurate for diagnosing cysts that have ruptured or are infected. Moreover, for suspected lung echinococcal cysts, abdominal ultrasound or CT scans are essential examinations. Such examinations are particularly important for preoperative assessments of right lung lesions, as surgery can treat right lung and liver echinococcal cysts simultaneously.¡±


    ¡°Now, we can definitely diagnose lung echinococcal cysts with B-ultrasound, but two things are not very clear: whether there are also echinococci in the liver and whether the lung echinococci are infected.¡±


    After speaking, Jing Ran addressed the examining doctor, ¡°Check the liver and see what you find.¡±


    The examining doctor nodded and continued.


    At this point, precise examinations were essential for making a definitive diagnosis, determining the exact location and number of cysts would allow better surgical planning!


    One could say that examinations for surgery are as important as intelligence is for warfare!


    One misstep could lead to total loss!


    All present were senior department heads, each of whom carried significant clout. The group stood to the side with serious expressions in a tense atmosphere, all waiting for the B-ultrasound results.


    The critical results of the examination were directly related to how the surgery should proceed.


    Because the complexity of lung echinococcal cysts lies in the fact that the surgery isn¡¯t as simple as just one cyst¡ªthere could be multiple cysts!


    If the cyst is large, it¡¯s indeed detectable, but what if the echinococcus is small?


    Hidden in other parts of the lungs or possibly in areas like the abdominal liver, these were the most troublesome.


    Undergoing multiple surgeries poses a significant risk to the human body, and everyone was very clear and understood this point.


    Moreover, the most important thing was to assess the condition of the outer and inner layers of the lung echinococcal cysts¡ªit was the key factor affecting surgery!


    The biochemical tests would take at least another three to four hours, especially the complement fixation test and immunological examinations, which were relatively slow.


    How to arrange for quick and effective examinations and targeted screening was thus extremely important!


    Indeed, all tests could be conducted.


    But what about time?


    What about the patient¡¯s condition?


    They were currently managing hypertension and allergies, but what about later?


    Therefore, a detailed plan was a must.


    Put simply, with the complexity of the patient¡¯s condition, who could take the helm?


    Who could be the commander with the necessary skills, was especially critical.


    It was like two armies on the verge of battle, there must be a commander with absolute authority.


    At this time, everyone looked to Jing Ran, the postdoctoral fellow from the capital¡¯s Fuwai Hospital.


    Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Doctor Jing, have you encountered a similar patient before, and what should we do next?¡±


    After pondering for a while, Jing Ran furrowed his brow, ¡°Examinations are necessary, but we need the help of doctors who are very familiar with the imaging data to assist us in making judgments! After all, I¡¯m not very professional when it comes to imaging data.¡±

 Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Chapter 227: Bai Qiuen’s Mask

    Chapter 226: Chapter 227: Bai Qiuen¡¯s Mask


    Everyone suddenly realized that Chen Cang was no longer beside the operating table.


    Where did he go?


    Turning around, they saw that Chen Cang had already:


    taken off his gloves,


    removed his mask,


    picked up his phone,


    and was taking pictures.


    Chen Cang was also curious about what this worm inside the cyst looked like now that it had burst.


    The cyst had burst, and Chen Cang saw inside¡­ well, it was fascinating, and quite appetite-stirring, a bit like the wide rice noodles you find in hot pot, also somewhat resembling soaked rice paper¡­ Hmm, those bits around it, anyone with trypophobia would absolutely love it! Eh? It¡¯s even pink in color!


    This was Chen Cang¡¯s first time seeing such a thing; naturally, he found it fresh and began snapping photos with his phone, click-click-click.


    The doctor next to him couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Dr. Chen, what are you doing?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°It¡¯s not every day you see a hydatid cyst in the lung. Shouldn¡¯t I take a photo to cherish the moment?¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone agreed it made sense.


    They took out their phones and started taking photos en masse.


    The nurse who had finished cleaning up looked at Chen Cang, finding him more and more exciting the more she watched.


    This Dr. Chen was truly impressive!


    Handsome and skilled, with a pair of skilled hands¡­ Art!


    Nurse A, watching Chen Cang, couldn¡¯t help but pick up her phone to take photos as well, ¡°Dr. Chen is so compassionate!¡±


    Nurse B nodded, ¡°Yeah, Dr. Chen must really like small animals, right?¡±


    Nurse C added, ¡°They say people who like small animals are tender to their wives.¡±


    The head nurse chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right! Little Chen must have a lot of girls who like him!¡±


    Everyone was stunned, was there such logic?


    We had no idea!


    Chen Cang just awkwardly smiled, feeling a bit strange being praised by so many people, and a bunch of women at that¡­ emmmmm, but quite enjoyed it?


    Meanwhile, Jing Ran¡¯s scalp tingled as he watched the group of nurses, his eyelids twitching. Wasn¡¯t this flattery a bit too much?


    Just because you like echinococcus means you like small animals?


    Could you at least be a bit more heartfelt with your flattery?


    Fangirling is fangirling¡­ don¡¯t be like this, please.


    But Jing Ran knew the importance of an operating room¡¯s nurses. As the team with the strongest influence in the surgical field, maintaining good relations with them, becoming one of them! It was crucial for the promotion and propagation of his future image, staying in line with the operating room nurses was especially important for his career development!


    With this in mind, Jing Ran forced a smile, ¡°Right! It¡¯s quite cute, I¡¯ll take a photo too!¡±


    As he spoke, he picked up his phone and began taking pictures.


    Nurse A was taken aback, ¡°Dr. Jing¡­ your taste is so unique, to find this parasite cute!¡±


    Nurse B agreed, ¡°Dr. Jing has quite the peculiar taste!¡±


    Nurse C exclaimed, ¡°Eek¡­ it looks so disgusting.¡±


    The head nurse commented, ¡°Dr. Jing is a true thoracic surgery expert, to think he¡¯d take a liking to parasites.¡±


    Jing Ran: ¡­


    What did I do wrong?


    Why must you torment me like this!


    Chen Cang takes pictures and he¡¯s considered an animal lover with a big heart, but when I take pictures, I get labeled as a pervert?


    Is the difference just because I called it ¡®cute¡¯?


    Jing Ran was at a loss.


    Is there no justice left?


    Is there no law of the land!


    I¡¯m a post-doctorate, aren¡¯t I? A post-doc at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Fuwai Hospital! Deputy Director of the First Hospital of Dongda, with a promising future¡­


    Chen Cang is¡­ just a first-year grad student brother, alright?


    Can¡¯t you judge people by their abilities instead of their appearance!


    Can being handsome give you free rein to do whatever you want?


    Besides, I¡¯m quite handsome too, right?


    As long as I¡¯m not standing next to Chen Cang, I¡¯m the Chinese Academy¡¯s male idol.


    Jing Ran felt he was developing a bit of a pneumothorax, probably from the irritation.


    He felt he couldn¡¯t stay here too long; what if his pneumothorax turned into a hemothorax?


    Then, if he were to collapse onto a sickbed, it would definitely be Chen Cang performing the surgery on him.


    With that thought, Jing Ran felt restless. What if Chen Cang started showing off during the surgery and the nurses were cheering for his handsomeness; could he die from anger?


    He sighed.


    Heartache.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The patient would need to contact his family for further postoperative care, but for the time being, he would be kept at the thoracic surgery department of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital for further treatment.


    The surgery went smoothly, and everyone left the operating room.


    Chen Cang had just left the doors of the operating room.


    [Ding! By defeating a level 51 Echinococcosis cyst monster of a higher level, you¡¯ve gained +2 levels; you¡¯ve obtained special equipment: Bai Qiuen¡¯s Mask;]


    Chen Cang suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    He actually dropped this thing!


    It was really quite rare.


    Bai Qiuen¡¯s Mask, a purple item.


    Chen Cang had originally thought how could a rare monster have such a great drop, but it was pretty rare after all, having dropped Bai Qiuen¡¯s mask from his set.


    [Bai Qiuen¡¯s Mask: As an important part of Bai Qiuen¡¯s set, filter +5, defense +5.]


    This time, there were no special effects or skills, just two boosts in stats.


    The filter boost was easy to understand, but how did a mask add to defense?


    Could it be¡­


    Chen Cang suddenly felt that this defense probably had to do with contagion.


    After all, the only medical-related defense Chen Cang could think of was infectious diseases¡­


    Chen Cang wondered if this meant that increasing defense¡­ could reduce the chance of getting infected?


    Very likely!


    If that was really the case, Chen Cang felt that this defense attribute was rather impressive.


    At least for the safety of medical workers, it was definitely a good thing.


    Pleased as punch, he had finally gotten the third piece of Bai Qiuen¡¯s set; now he could summon Bai Qiuen to possess him.


    [Ding! With the three-piece Bai Qiuen¡¯s set, a special skill is triggered: Bai Qiuen¡¯s Possession. Reminder: Bai Qiuen: lv99, a master in the field of cardiovascular surgery, proficient and skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, highly adept at cardiac surgery; after possession, you will get up to 5 hours of possession time, once a month.]


    Chen Cang swallowed hard, my goodness, it¡¯s a big shot!


    A level 99 big shot, that¡¯s¡­ at the level of a national celebrity doctor, isn¡¯t it?


    No, it¡¯s almost level 100.


    So strong!


    But, Bai Qiuen isn¡¯t going to take over his body, is he?


    Chen Cang shook his head.


    Seeing Chen Cang suddenly stop, Jing Ran froze for a moment, then seeing the corners of Chen Cang¡¯s mouth betraying a smirk, he couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, pulling out his phone, ¡°I just thought of something happy.¡±


    Jing Ran smiled, ¡°Oh? Care to share?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°It¡¯s nothing much, just thought this Echinococcosis was pretty rare, I¡¯ll send it to my friend to take a look.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Cang picked up his phone and sent Qin Yue a message:


    ¡°Had dinner yet?¡±


    Qin Yue replied instantly, ¡°What are you treating me to?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°You wish, I was just asking if you¡¯ve eaten.¡±


    Qin Yue, ¡°Scram, I¡¯m having dinner right now, don¡¯t wanna talk, I have night shift later!¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°Oh! You¡¯re eating? That¡¯s good, I¡¯m sending over something nice for you to enjoy with your meal!¡±


    Qin Yue was startled; could it be that Chen Cang was eating something delicious?


    This scumbag!


    With that thought, Qin Yue sneered, ¡°My dad¡¯s cooking today!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan chuckled as he watched Qin Yue holding her phone and pouting her lips, responding to messages. He couldn¡¯t resist saying, ¡°Don¡¯t play with your phone during dinner!¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, and at that moment, Chen Cang suddenly sent over a photo. As soon as Qin Yue opened it, she was instantly¡­


    ¡°Holy shit! You bastard¡­!¡±


    A cry of ¡°holy shit¡± nearly caused Qin Xiaoyuan to tremble with fright!


    The piece of pork he had just picked up fell to the ground,


    Such a pity!


    It was expensive!


    Looking at the food in front of her, Qin Yue suddenly didn¡¯t have any appetite left.


    The bite she had just taken seemed to have a strange taste now!


    Hearing Qin Yue¡¯s exclamation, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face darkened as he glared at her, unable to refrain from scolding, ¡°Qin Yue, you¡¯re a young lady, what are you doing! Show some manners!¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s mother also glanced at her, ¡°What¡¯s the fuss about now?¡±


    In the middle of speaking, she picked up Qin Yue¡¯s phone and saw an indescribable scene; a feeling of discomfort rose from her stomach, ¡°Oh! I need to go to the bathroom.¡±


    This utterly stunned Qin Xiaoyuan, who casually grabbed the phone, and his eyelids began to twitch!


    This¡­ this¡­ what the hell is this?


    So disgusting!


    Eating dinner here and you send a parasite!


    Qin Xiaoyuan had to acknowledge his professionalism, recognizing the parasite at a glance, but¡­ recognition aside, this pretty much ruined the meal!


    With that, Qin Xiaoyuan felt a tingle of horror as his hard effort in cooking was wrecked by one photo!


    Taking a look at the phone, it read: ¡°From: Chen Cang!¡±

 Chapter 227 - Chapter 227: Chapter 228: Doctor Jing, take care!

    Chapter 227: Chapter 228: Doctor Jing, take care!


    After Chen Cang sent the message to Qin Yue, he opened his Moments.


    After all, as an excellent surgeon, these things were his trophies!


    Be it echinococcosis, cysts, fibromas, necrotic tissue removal¡­


    These were the shining victories of a surgeon, and many liked to post the things they cut out on their Moments.


    Only now did Chen Cang learn that Zhang Youfu had two WeChat accounts, with two phones!


    One phone was all about the food series, the other was like a surgical exhibition hall.


    All sorts of bizarre gallbladders, special appendices, rare cysts¡­


    Chen Cang felt that he should enlighten his classmates with some knowledge about pulmonary hydatid cysts and broaden their horizons!


    Of course, Chen Cang swore that he absolutely wasn¡¯t doing it for the likes.


    With that thought, Chen Cang opened his Moments, composed a message, and then attached a picture.


    ¡°Dragon Slaying Sabre, unparalleled in the world, vanquishing a Level 51 rare monster: Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst Beast! Picture attached!¡±


    Chen Cang looked over it carefully, very satisfied¡ªthe angle at which the photo of the lung hydatid was taken was novel, the details were clear, and it was sure to get a lot of likes.


    After posting on Moments, and not seeing a reply from Qin Yue to his message, Chen Cang confidently stuffed his phone into his pocket!


    Humming a tune, he headed outside.


    Thinking about how Qin Yue would look after seeing the photo, Chen Cang suddenly felt cheerful and refreshed; the tune he hummed even turned into ¡°The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend.¡±


    Fresh hydatid is meal accompaniment


    Beneath the soft inner cyst, the worm¡¯s super high


    What rhythm is the swaying best


    Pink-colored worm eggs make you more joyful


    ¡­


    Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang with curiosity and puzzlement, wondering why he was so happy.


    And¡­ why does this song feel so familiar?


    Just now, he had seen Chen Cang send the photo to a friend, seemingly a woman.


    Could it be his girlfriend?


    Jing Ran asked curiously, ¡°Dr. Chen? You sent it to your friend, was she happy?¡±


    Chen Cang hesitated.


    Was Qin Yue happy? Chen Cang didn¡¯t know, but Qin Yue would definitely remember him!


    With that thought, Chen Cang, looking at Jing Ran, confidently said, ¡°She will never forget it, because she¡¯s never seen something like this before.¡±


    Jing Ran uttered an ¡°oh¡­¡±


    Nodding thoughtfully.


    He felt that there was a reason for Chen Cang¡¯s good luck with the opposite sex. In comparison, he himself had been so busy with work that he seemed to have neglected Geng Yan.


    With that thought, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Geng Yan: ¡°Baby, what are you up to?¡±


    Geng Yan replied instantly: ¡°The school is treating us to a meal. Are you finished there?¡±


    Truth be told, Geng Yan was excited and happy when she received the message; after all, though Jing Ran was excellent, he did not quite understand a girl¡¯s heart and sometimes was even a bit dense emotionally and in certain areas, but¡­ nobody¡¯s perfect, and Jing Ran was already very good, at least he didn¡¯t flirt around.


    So seeing Jing Ran caring so much about her made Geng Yan very happy too.


    Jing Ran nodded: ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m sending you something awesome, you¡¯ve definitely never seen it before!¡±


    Geng Yan was very excited: ¡°Oh, what is it? Can¡¯t wait.¡±


    Jing Ran casually sent the photo.


    Thinking about Geng Yan¡¯s happy reaction, Jing Ran smiled contentedly and added, ¡°Enjoy your meal, I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±


    Chen Cang, seeing Jing Ran smiling for no reason, turned to ask, ¡°Who did you send that to?¡±


    Jing Ran smiled faintly: ¡°My girlfriend, oh! No, should be wife now, we¡¯re about to get married.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s in internal medicine and has never seen this before; she¡¯ll be very curious.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback¡­


    That¡­


    Isn¡¯t Geng Yan terrified of bugs¡­


    With that thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but swallow, looking sympathetically at Jing Ran: ¡°Maybe you should take it back, since girls might not necessarily like this¡­¡±


    Jing Ran smiled: ¡°It¡¯s nothing for someone studying medicine.¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly felt Jing Ran and Geng Yan¡¯s wedding might be postponed a bit.


    Exactly how long, was hard to say¡­


    With that thought, Chen Cang became somewhat conflicted.


    I even felt a bit nervous, ¡°I really didn¡¯t intend to break you two up¡­¡±


    Alas¡­


    ¡­


    After all, it was the school anniversary, and those who were invited were arranged to stay at a hotel near the school.


    Even if someone had an accident, the dinner still needed to go ahead.


    It was the 60th-anniversary celebration of the school, after all.


    Geng Yan, as a family member and alumna, was also arranged to join. Everyone at the table was part of the backbone of the current medical industry in Dongyang Province. After all, Geng Yan didn¡¯t yet have the clout to sit with those seasoned directors.


    With an outgoing personality and good social skills, Geng Yan chatted and laughed with everyone, fitting in well.


    Being a Xiehe graduate, and also considering Jing Ran¡¯s factor, everyone was quite respectful to her.


    But¡­


    Suddenly¡­


    Geng Yan, who had been chatting and laughing just a moment ago, suddenly threw her phone and let out a sharp scream.


    The commotion startled everyone, spilling soup and dropping the stir-fried pork to the floor.


    How expensive¡­


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but look up to see Geng Yan turn pale, clearly taken aback.


    The heart specialist at her side, Xin Yan, held back before asking, ¡°Geng Yan, what¡¯s wrong?


    Geng Yan turned and ran toward the restroom.


    She heaved over the sink for a long time!


    Pale-faced, her mind kept echoing with those disgusting photos!


    For a long, long time¡­


    Geng Yan still couldn¡¯t let it go.


    Thinking of Jing Ran, Geng Yan clenched her teeth in anger, wishing she could tear him apart!


    After the hateful Chen Cang showed her those tapeworm photos, she felt sick for a whole month and almost broke up!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    By this time, it was nearly seven o¡¯clock. Qian Liang, with Chen Cang and Jing Ran, came out and took a deep breath of the familiar smog, finally feeling relieved.


    Despite the bitterness of the smog, Qian Liang wondered why the air in the operating room didn¡¯t feel as reliable?


    Still, inhaling this smog seemed more comfortable¡­


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we have a dinner, all with our Dongyang Medical University classmates. It¡¯s the school¡¯s anniversary after all, let¡¯s join them!¡± Qian Liang looked at Chen Cang and invited with a smile.


    Chen Cang did actually want to join the meal, but glanced at Jing Ran and hesitated.


    What if Geng Yan suspected that he had encouraged Jing Ran to send the photos? That would be terrible.


    And¡­


    Chen Cang looked at the happy Jing Ran and felt a pang of regret.


    Dr. Jing, your days won¡¯t be easy when you go back¡­


    With that thought in mind, Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°Dean Qian, no need. There¡¯s some work at the hospital I need to attend to, so I won¡¯t disturb everyone.¡±


    Qian Liang nodded, ¡°Alright then, it¡¯s late today. Some other time when you¡¯re free, come over, I have something to talk to you about.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Definitely!¡±


    As Qian Liang spoke, he got into the car with Jing Ran.


    Watching Jing Ran, with his refined and naive demeanor, Chen Cang suddenly felt a sense of guilt and couldn¡¯t help but call out to him.


    ¡°Dr. Jing!¡±


    Jing Ran paused, turned back, and smiled, ¡°Is there something you need, Dr. Chen?¡±


    Chen Cang hesitated for a moment, then said, ¡°Take care of yourself!¡±


    Jing Ran looked bewildered. What did that mean?


    Take care of myself?


    He really couldn¡¯t fathom what Chen Cang meant by that¡­


    Still, he politely responded, ¡°Okay, thank you, Dr. Chen, for your concern!¡±


    ¡°I enjoyed working with you today and hope we¡¯ll have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Sure! Take care!¡±


    As he watched the car drive away, Chen Cang wondered if Jing Ran¡¯s slight frame could withstand the test. Ah¡­ he hoped everything would be alright.


    Thinking of Geng Yan¡¯s black belt, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.

 Chapter 228 - Chapter 228: Chapter 229: Stop, Chen the Dog!

    Chapter 228: Chapter 229: Stop, Chen the Dog!


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained a Perfect-level Chest Imaging Skill.]


    Chen Cang nodded, this really was a good skill.


    The only downside was that it was only for the chest.


    Too short.


    If you could extend it a bit upward, you could add a head imaging check, wouldn¡¯t that be great?


    And if you could extend it a bit downward, you could add an abdominal imaging check, which wouldn¡¯t be bad either.


    Forget it¡­


    One shouldn¡¯t be too greedy.


    ¡­


    Early the next morning, Chen Cang got up early, feeling refreshed and headed towards the emergency room.


    Just as he entered the main gate, he saw Xiao Lin already preparing and getting busy.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Xiao Lin, did you work the night shift last night?¡±


    Xiao Lin snorted coldly, ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback. What was that about?


    Chen Cang thought about it. Well, women have those days each month, be understanding!


    Then he headed towards the office.


    At this moment, Chang Lina heard the noise, came running out with a syringe in hand, ¡°Chen Cang, you did it on purpose, didn¡¯t you!¡±


    ¡°See if I don¡¯t teach you a lesson today!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, ¡°Wait, Lina, hold on. Let me die knowing why!¡±


    Chang Lina snorted, ¡°Die knowing why? Fine! Come here!¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Put down your weapon first!¡±


    At this point, since it wasn¡¯t time to handover shifts yet, there were few patients at 7 o¡¯clock, so everyone was prepping for the morning¡¯s work.


    Just as Chen Cang was speaking!


    Suddenly a group of nurses ran out holding blood pressure cuffs, IV devices, thermometers, and blood glucose monitors¡­ all charging out!


    ¡°Chen Dog, stop right there!¡±


    ¡°Chen Dog, don¡¯t you move!¡±


    Chen Cang was utterly confused. What on earth did I do?


    To incur such wrath from gods and men alike!


    Nurse head Tian Xianglan also hurried over, pointing at Chen Cang from a distance, ¡°Chen Cang! Come here, I promise I won¡¯t beat you to death!¡±


    Chen Cang was even more dumbfounded.


    Did I sleepwalk last night?


    And offend all of you in some way?


    At this thought, Chen Cang became somewhat uneasy¡ªI¡¯ve never had this problem before!


    Chen Cang with a look of grievance, ¡°Nurse head, I feel like there might be some misunderstanding about me!¡±


    Tian Xianglan sneered, ¡°Misunderstanding? What a misunderstanding. Come on, see for yourself, where is the misunderstanding?¡±


    As she spoke, Tian Xianglan picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and showed Chen Cang the chat interface, ¡°Look, what did you send?¡±


    ¡°My child already struggles with eating, and after seeing the WeChat you sent last night, cried the whole night, refusing to eat. This morning, woke up and even told me they had a nightmare! Look at the mess you¡¯ve made!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, ¡°That¡¯s not right, nurse head, I don¡¯t have a habit of private chatting with everyone!¡±


    The nurse behind snorted coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t have it!? Take a good look at your chat history!¡±


    ¡°We were eating dinner just fine last night until you sent those messages one by one. Do you think one person alone couldn¡¯t handle it?¡±


    ¡°Exactly! Chen Cang, we still have the dinner you paid for, so you better go eat it obediently!¡±


    ¡°Chen Dog, finish your meal, and you will be spared¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing, Chen Cang, half-believing and half-doubting, picked up his phone and carefully looked through the chat history.


    As he scrolled through, he was instantly dumbfounded!


    What the hell?


    When did I send them messages?


    I actually sent them all photos of lung parasites?


    Chen Cang was at a loss.


    ¡°I¡­ I¡­ My phone is broken. I really didn¡¯t send anything!¡±


    Everyone: ¡°Do you think we believe you?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    Chen Cang felt very wronged, truly wronged. I didn¡¯t do anything, so why did it send messages to them?


    After much apologizing and treating everyone to a cup of milk tea, he finally smoothed things over, but Chen Cang was still puzzled.


    ¡°`


    Could it be that I¡¯ve seen a ghost?


    Right!


    Today is the fifteenth of July, Ghost Festival¡­


    At that thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help shivering.


    What the hell, this can¡¯t be happening?


    At that thought, Chen Cang suddenly realized that despite it being broad daylight, he could feel a chill.


    This scared Chen Cang out of his wits.


    Could it be that there was something unclean in the provincial People¡¯s Hospital¡¯s operating room?


    Chen Cang frowned.


    Today was a busy day filled with surgeries, but they were all common procedures, dealing with patients with acute appendicitis, cholecystitis, gallstone disease.


    After performing several surgeries, Chen Cang remembered the small incision award.


    But he was curious, why hadn¡¯t those people learned to do small incisions yet?


    How can they be so slow on the uptake!


    He hadn¡¯t won a single Lucky Bag for himself.


    Thinking about this, Chen Cang felt somewhat dejected.


    During a surgery, Chen Cang suddenly remembered the incident from the previous night and couldn¡¯t resist asking the nurse, ¡°Yuan Yuan, have you ever seen anything unclean in the operating room?¡±


    Kong Yuanyuan was stunned, ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ what do you mean?¡±


    Chen Cang pondered for a moment, ¡°I mean, like ghosts and such¡­¡±


    Kong Yuanyuan fell silent. After a while, she slowly said, ¡°I think so¡­¡±


    With that, Chen Cang felt like the temperature in the temperature-controlled operating room had dropped several degrees in an instant.


    Wang Yong was in the middle of an appendectomy when he suddenly said, ¡°I remember some time ago, didn¡¯t they say someone saw that old man who jumped off a building in the carport?¡±


    Kong Yuanyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, ¡°Actually, the operating room is heavy with Yin energy.¡±


    ¡°Plus, people often die in the operating room!¡±


    ¡°Last year during the New Year, I was on night shift by myself because Sister Ling and Sister Hui both didn¡¯t come. I thought it¡¯d be fine alone, but that night I felt as if there was something in the operating room. It seemed like I kept seeing shadows drifting about in the middle of the night.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang awkwardly smiled, ¡°Surely not?¡±


    Kong Yuanyuan shook her head, ¡°I didn¡¯t sleep a wink that night, staying up and chatting with Dr. Liu from anesthesiology the whole time.¡±


    ¡°The next day I went to the temple and got an amulet.¡±


    ¡°Dr. Chen, how should I put it, with some things, if you say they exist, they do, if you say they don¡¯t, perhaps they don¡¯t. But us girls are more timid, so¡­ it¡¯s better to believe they¡¯re real!¡±


    Her words left Chen Cang doubting.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At noon, a little girl ran into the emergency department, holding a pink lunch box and hurriedly made her way into the office.


    After coming in, she looked left and right but didn¡¯t find Chen Cang.


    At this moment, Wang Qian suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Hey there, Tiantian, are you looking for Chen Cang?¡±


    Little Tiantian glanced at Wang Qian, and her big eyes twinkling, she nodded, ¡°Yes!¡±


    The nurses in the emergency department laughed, ¡°Tiantian, you¡¯re here to see your hubby again!¡±


    Tiantian¡¯s face turned red, but she said nothing.


    Just as Chen Cang returned to the emergency department, he heard someone calling out, ¡°Chen Cang, your little sweetheart is here.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, then glanced at the office door, ¡°Tiantian? What are you doing here, where are your parents?¡±


    At this moment, at the entrance of the emergency department, Xu Liang and his wife walked in, ¡°Dr. Chen, sorry to trouble you. Tiantian insisted on seeing you. We thought it was also time to change her dressing, so we brought her along.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, taken with the cute little one.


    He patted Tiantian¡¯s head, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll change your dressing first.¡±


    Like a little mistress, Tiantian shook her head, ¡°Eat first, it¡¯s getting cold, mom made dumplings.¡±


    Tiantian displayed an attitude that she wouldn¡¯t leave without eating, and Chen Cang, feeling helplessly amused, sat down and finished the dumplings.


    As usual, Tiantian watched Chen Cang eat his meal, wiped his mouth for him, then tilted her cheek, waiting for Chen Cang to give her a kiss.


    Only then did she obediently go to have her dressing changed.


    After all, she was a child and recovered quite fast.


    Finally, Tiantian left reluctantly, holding her lunch box and grievously said, ¡°Chen Cang, I will come see you again, sob sob¡­¡±


    She burst into tears as soon as she left the door.


    This prompted laughter from everyone around.


    Watching Tiantian¡¯s adorable manner, Chen Cang suddenly wanted a child of his own.


    Yet, it seemed he didn¡¯t even have a girlfriend yet¡­


    ps: The following two chapters are about special medical cases, you can take a look. They are not ghost stories¡­ don¡¯t be scared! It¡¯s science!

 Chapter 231 - Chapter 231: Chapter 232: Fight for Pride!

    Chapter 231: Chapter 232: Fight for Pride!


    ¡°`


    The emergency room really does present a bizarre variety of diseases, and even Director Li Baoshan, who¡¯s seen it all, can¡¯t claim to be able to handle every type of patient.


    Early in the morning, around six or seven o¡¯clock, another small peak in patient arrivals began, with young people hurrying to work who had mostly bumped or scraped themselves in their haste.


    Or those suffering from toothaches so excruciating they felt like hanging themselves.


    Chen Cang had noticed something recently¡ªhis luck seemed abysmal. Whenever he worked night shift, the place was crowded, just like the last time he swapped a night shift with Wang Yong, and now his own night shift was swamped with people.


    Wouldn¡¯t it be nice if there were fewer people?


    If the country was at peace and households were happy and prosperous, he could sleep soundly himself, and maybe even play some King after getting off work the next day if he felt up to it.


    After the rush, Chen Cang really couldn¡¯t stay awake, so he decided to wash his face with cold water in the on-call room to freshen up.


    No sooner had he stepped out than he saw Qin Yue swinging her arms and striding toward the changing room.


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed Qin Yue, pulling her into the on-call room and swiftly shutting the door!


    Then, with a fierce momentum, he pinned Qin Yue against the wall, placing his left hand next to her head, squinting his eyes to reveal a ferocious smile that looked just like love!


    ¡°Well, you had a good sleep last night, didn¡¯t you?¡±


    Seeing this, Qin Yue instead blushed and smiled shyly, ¡°Mhm, pretty good.¡±


    Chen Cang snorted coldly, ¡°Tell me, what should we do now?¡±


    Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang with wide, fluttering eyes, exuding a pitiful plea, ¡°Things have come to this, you call the shots¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded, did I grab the wrong script!


    Qin Yue must think I don¡¯t dare to do anything, right?


    At that thought, Chen Cang chuckled lewdly, lifting his right index finger to gently raise Qin Yue¡¯s chin and blew a breath of air toward her face, ¡°Then I won¡¯t hold back!¡±


    He was curious to see how long this drama queen could hold out.


    Qin Yue¡¯s cheeks turned pink, and she quickly closed her eyes, fluttering her long eyelashes and even slightly raising her right calf¡­


    Damn, she¡¯s clearly enjoying this¡­!


    By doing this, wouldn¡¯t I be falling right into Qin Yue¡¯s trap?


    Should I just give up?


    No way!


    If I don¡¯t show Qin Yue some color, she¡¯ll never learn her place!


    Chen Cang felt his heart pounding faster and faster!


    He understood this was a battle of wits!


    And a clash between the thick-skinned!


    At this moment, there¡¯s no right or wrong.


    Only winners and losers!


    Chen Cang felt his heart being shredded, he could already sense abnormal P waves on his heartbeat chart, a relentless increase in his sinus rhythm, with QRS complexes shortening in time and rising in frequency. Chen Cang knew all too well, this indicated his ventricular rate was accelerating¡­


    But this was definitely not love! Definitely not¡­


    It was just nerves.


    Chen Cang could already feel the sweet breath from Qin Yue¡¯s nose.


    That scent was familiar: contempt, disdain, mockery.


    If he had to put it into words, it would be:


    ¡°Come on then!¡±


    His understanding of that phrase had almost reached that of its creator.


    Isn¡¯t that exactly what he¡¯s doing right now?


    Chen Cang gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and roared inside: Let¡¯s do this!


    No more tolerance!


    With a steely resolve in his heart,


    If he didn¡¯t succeed, he would perish trying!


    Just as Chen Cang was about to kiss her with a clenched jaw.


    Suddenly¡­ the door creaked open.


    Director Li Baoshan entered, and was met with this scene.


    The atmosphere instantly turned eerie!


    Clearing his throat Li Baoshan muttered to himself, ¡°Huh? Where did I put my keys?¡±


    ¡°`


    While speaking, he stared at the ceiling, not daring to lower his gaze, talking and thinking at the same time, frowning, and his hands were still fumbling in his pockets, as if he were truly searching for his keys.


    But you¡¯ve already opened the door, what do you need keys for!


    Can¡¯t you put a little heart into your lies?


    After finishing his words, Li Baoshan sighed again, ¡°Hmm, it should be in the office! I¡¯ll go check, it¡¯s only 7:40 now¡­ Hmm, there¡¯s still 20 minutes before the shift change, I should have enough time! I¡¯ll go get some breakfast.¡±


    After muttering to himself for a while, Li Baoshan closed the door and turned to leave.


    Chen Cang really wanted to go up and ask the chief what he meant by ¡°there¡¯s still 20 minutes before the shift change.¡±


    What did he mean by ¡°I should have enough time¡±?


    Who is he looking down on!


    Just as Chen Cang was about to prepare himself, suddenly Qin Yue had already slipped away, saying lightly, ¡°Ah!¡­ Loneliness¡­¡±


    After finishing speaking, she shook her head and slouched, while shaking her right index finger back and forth, heading toward the women¡¯s changing room.


    Chen Cang clenched his fists, and if he had nails, they would definitely have pierced into his flesh, leaving him just short of bleeding!


    Standing there with gritted teeth, his eyes full of anger!


    Qin bootlicker, you¡¯re absolutely heartless and vile!


    Never bully the young and vulnerable!


    ¡°Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west; don¡¯t mess with me!¡±


    Just you wait, dad!


    Someday, I will make you kneel and sing ¡°Conquer¡±!


    And besides, I will write the lyrics myself!


    Thinking about it, Chen Cang felt humiliated by Qin Yue,


    Not just humiliated¡­ it was an insult¡­


    No, it was degradation¡­


    And not just that, it was a combination of degradation, insult, and disgrace¡­


    All of it!


    Thinking about this, Chen Cang felt that this grudge had grown too big.


    He must take revenge!


    As eight o¡¯clock approached, Chen Cang straightened his clothes and walked toward the doctor¡¯s office.


    Chen Cang, who had been feeling quite sleepy, suddenly felt a surge of strength throughout his body.


    He had to work hard, to take down Qin the antagonist!


    At that moment, Li Baoshan slowly walked in, looking at everyone, ¡°Let¡¯s start the shift change.¡±


    When Chen Cang saw Li Baoshan entering, he always felt a bit uncomfortable, why was there a kind of¡­ blushing feeling.


    He turned around and sneaked a peek at Qin Yue, only to find her seemingly without any reaction, calm and composed!


    ¡­This woman¡­ she¡¯s too cruel!


    Chen Cang hesitated, wondering if setting up such a formidable enemy was really a good idea?


    Maybe he could take the initiative to admit his mistake?


    Invite her out for a meal, sign a peace treaty?


    At that thought, Chen Cang seemed to forget all his humiliation; after all, the enemy was too strong, truly a heartless and vile character!


    Forget it, forget it¡­


    After the shift ended and he left the emergency department, Chen Cang thought it over and decided to just go back to sleep. Even a hard man, forged in iron, couldn¡¯t withstand working emergency nights back to back.


    But for some reason, Li Baoshan suddenly called out to Chen Cang, ¡°Chen?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm, Director, you called me.¡±


    Li Baoshan hesitated a moment, ¡°This¡­ have a good rest!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    Who are you looking down on now!


    PS: The cases in the last two chapters I wrote last night were so scary even I was afraid. To create that atmosphere, I even deliberately listened to some ghost stories, but it turned out no one read them¡­


    Disappointed¡­


    Forget it, I won¡¯t write horror anymore. Haha¡­


    Actually, it wasn¡¯t a ghost story, but rather a special medical case with scientific backing, those interested can go check it out.

 Chapter 232 - Chapter 232: Chapter 233: Jing Rans Invitation

    Chapter 232: Chapter 233: Jing Ran¡¯s Invitation


    After completing all the onboarding processes today, Jing Ran finally reported to the director in his department. Upon leaving the hospital, he felt an intense soreness throughout his body.


    Every part of him was aching.


    Where should he go for lunch?


    He might as well find a random place to make do.


    After all, Geng Yan certainly wouldn¡¯t feed him the food she made at home, not even to a dog.


    Thinking about this, Jing Ran couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Sigh¡­


    If only he had listened to Doctor Chen earlier.


    Now Jing Ran suddenly felt that higher education had some deficiencies and flaws.


    Especially in the teaching work of PhDs and postdocs, they should add some new courses, like ¡°How to Interact with Girls,¡± ¡°How to Be an Outstanding Husband,¡± ¡°How to Make a Girl Happy,¡± ¡°How to Get Along with Your Mother-in-law¡±¡­


    After all, everyone is getting older and has been stuck in school for so long without the time to interact with girls, lacking experience in communication with the opposite sex.


    Considering this, Jing Ran suddenly thought this was a research area with great potential!


    After all, there were many people like him around.


    But he still considered himself lucky to have met Geng Yan.


    He thought that Chen Cang must have at least a postdoctoral degree in this field!


    Recalling Doctor Chen¡¯s sincere advice to take care the day before, Jing Ran suddenly felt this must be a person with stories and experience; perhaps he should communicate more with Doctor Chen.


    They say professionals in the same field are natural rivals, and those who specialize in thoracic surgery will surely harbor suspicions.


    But Jing Ran never thought that way; he believed that a good partner was the key to success.


    His goal was not just to be a carefree department head at Dongyang No.1 Hospital; he needed a platform that could grow strong and large, to build an excellent thoracic surgery team.


    However¡­ after his return, there were mixed outcomes, and the downside became apparent¡ªhe lacked a strong collaborative partner.


    And Chen Cang was actually quite good: young, capable, and kind-hearted.


    Considering this, he suddenly decided to invite Chen Cang to have a meal together.


    Since he was new and didn¡¯t have any friends yet, Chen Cang seemed like a good choice.


    Noble, genuine!


    Without too many petty thoughts, he should be able to forge a deep friendship.


    Thinking this, Jing Ran picked up his phone and dialed Chen Cang¡¯s number.


    Chen Cang, who had just woken up, felt a bit unsettled upon seeing Jing Ran¡¯s call. What if¡­ it was Geng Yan calling to settle scores with him? What now?


    Exactly! If it were Geng Yan, he would say he called the wrong number!


    With that thought, Chen Cang answered the call but didn¡¯t speak: ¡°¡­¡±


    Seeing the call connected, Jing Ran quickly said, ¡°Doctor Chen, do you have time? Let¡¯s have lunch together at noon?¡±


    Chen Cang was somewhat puzzled, ¡°Just you and me?¡±


    Jing Ran sighed and gave a sheepish smile, ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t take your advice yesterday and sent a picture to my wife. I guess I won¡¯t be eating well for a while¡­¡±


    Chen Cang assured him that he was not taking pleasure in his misfortune, ¡°All right, I¡¯ll treat you. Doctor Jing, you¡¯ve just arrived in Dongyang and are not familiar with it. Let¡¯s meet at Tianjie street.¡±


    For some reason, Chen Cang felt a twinge of sympathy for Jing Ran.


    In the heat of the summer, Chen Cang took Jing Ran to a specialty hotpot restaurant.


    The two ate with gusto.


    And they had an equally lively conversation!


    In their interaction, Chen Cang suddenly found that Jing Ran was quite a good person, probably because his long academic career spared him from the greasiness that some in the hospital possess.


    Instead, he was very straightforward, almost to the point of innocence!


    After the meal, Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang sincerely: ¡°Doctor Chen, I feel like we¡¯re on the same wavelength.¡±


    Chen Cang paused, hesitated for a while, and looked at Jing Ran with something unsaid: Doctor Jing, I actually have been there before¡­


    Seeing that Chen Cang remained silent, Jing Ran straightforwardly asserted, ¡°Really!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m returning to Dongyang, and what I want to do is definitely not just become a simple director; I want to build a thoracic surgery base in Dongyang and assemble a team¡­ I hope I can invite you to join us!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°This¡­ Dr. Jing, who else is in the team?¡±


    Jing Ran¡¯s face turned red, and he gave an embarrassed smile, ¡°Right now, it¡¯s only me, but in the future, it¡¯ll be me and you.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°No rush, I¡¯m doing pretty well at the Provincial Second Hospital. However, Dr. Jing, if you need help in the future you can call me, just as I hope Dr. Jing can lend a hand if I encounter any insurmountable problems!¡±


    Jing Ran nodded, ¡°I will!¡±


    The meal took two hours, and both of them drank two bottles of beer.


    Chen Cang had thought Jing Ran could hold his liquor since it was he who had first suggested it, but it turned out after just a couple of sips he was already choking a bit.


    Jing Ran said embarrassedly, ¡°I rarely drink. Today, I felt like it was fitting to drink some since I hit it off so well with Dr. Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang immediately laughed; Dr. Jing was indeed a man of true character.


    But after two bottles, Jing Ran quickly shook his head, signaling that he was dizzy and couldn¡¯t drink any more.


    After sending Jing Ran off in his car, Chen Cang suddenly felt a bit uneasy.


    After all¡­ It seemed that Geng Yan also didn¡¯t like to drink.


    Shaking his head, Chen Cang thought that it must be that Geng Yan didn¡¯t like him drinking!


    That¡¯s right!


    Jing Ran was in a particularly good mood today, humming a tune along with Chen Cang, which certainly made him feel a lot better.


    Planning to have a good sleep at noon, Jing Ran had just opened his door when he saw Geng Yan standing at the entrance, her face ashen, arms crossed over her chest, and a malevolent look in her eyes.


    Seeing Jing Ran reeking of hotpot and booze, she was momentarily stunned!


    Geng Yan gave a fierce sniff and immediately flew into a rage!


    ¡°Look at you, Jing Ran, acting all impressive, knowing I wouldn¡¯t feed you so you went out to fool around!¡±


    ¡°And you went drinking, huh?¡±


    ¡°Aye, let¡¯s see how capable you are.¡±


    ¡°And here I was, willing to forgive you for your first offense, even came back early to cook you something nice, but lo and behold, aren¡¯t you something, Jing Ran!¡±


    ¡°Tell me, who were you with?¡±


    Jing Ran was suddenly at a loss for words.


    ¡°I¡­¡±


    Geng Yan¡¯s face changed, ¡°What do you mean, ¡®I¡¯!¡±


    Jing Ran, ¡°Chen¡­¡±


    Geng Yan interrupted, ¡°Chen what Chen!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    On Friday morning during the shift change, Li Baoshan shared some news with everyone, the Emergency Department¡¯s surgical room finally had all its microsurgical equipment.


    ¡°We will gradually start diagnosing and operating on hand trauma soon. Xiaochen, you are now the main force. Work well with Director An and do a good job on the hand surgeries,¡± he said.


    Chen Cang nodded and agreed.


    This made everyone in the department curious.


    Where exactly did Chen Cang learn to operate in hand surgery?


    No sooner had Chen Cang agreed than the system prompt sounded.


    [Ding! The journey of hand surgery: Complete 500 tendon sutures and receive a copy of the Tendon Rehabilitation Guide.]


    Chen Cang was taken aback and couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Because when he opened the long-term mission option, he saw that completing 500 surgeries could achieve a clinical minor goal.


    This was also the small goal Qian Lin had set for him to surpass Jing Ran.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh at this.

 Chapter 233 - Chapter 233: Chapter 234: How long is a second, exactly?

    Chapter 233: Chapter 234: How long is a second, exactly?


    Chen Cang felt that, as a conscientious system, it should always consider its host¡¯s interests.


    In the beginning, one suture could generate three tasks, but now the tasks have started to cut corners, which is an unethical action.


    Delightfully looking at the 500 tendon sutures, Chen Cang suddenly became expectant.


    What kind of reward would there be for completing two tasks at the same time?


    ¡°The Tendon Rehabilitation Guide¡± is a pretty nice thing; as an important component of sports medicine, it plays an essential role in later recovery.


    Chen Cang felt there was a lot of potential in this thing!


    He cautiously clicked on the virtual screen, opened the unfinished tasks, and seeing so, so many tasks, Chen Cang suddenly felt full of passion and fighting spirit.


    He had not expected that just a Qian Lin and a Jing Ran could generate so many tasks for him.


    Now Chen Cang was feeling somewhat regretful. After so many years, why did he have only Geng Yan as an ex-girlfriend? He should have dated more¡ªnot for anything else, but for those enticing and tempting tasks!


    Looking at the full screen of tasks, Chen Cang began to pick them one by one, aiming to tackle each in turn!


    There was no point in thinking about the award category. There were no competitions lately, no national scholarships to inspire, no national contests he¡¯d heard about.


    As for honors¡­ this should be neither too big nor too small a problem, since Director Zhang Youfu had said he wanted to invite him to join the Dongyang Province Hepatobiliary Surgery Society. However, whether he could become a director was uncertain¡­


    The research goals would soon be met. Once his ¡°Liver Transplantation¡± article was published, he would quickly reap the rewards!


    The first financial goal was at the level of 2 million. As of now, Chen Cang estimated his total worth to be only around a million, still half away from 2 million. But that was not a big problem; a few more breast augmentations, cosmetic surgeries, and he should be there quickly. This weekend, he should go to the cosmetic hospital and talk to Zhang Zhixin properly, sign the contract he had designed, and then get in touch with Yang Tao to hang out his shingle, with the prices clearly marked, to find more rich ladies.


    As for the girlfriend task¡­


    Chen Cang suddenly thought of a good idea!


    The task hint was to have a good-looking girlfriend. It didn¡¯t specify for how many minutes, right?


    He could totally have an unforgettable and heart-engraving, even if only one-second-long, fake romance!


    Even a love affair social transaction was possible!


    Chen Cang, looking at Qin Yue busily writing medical records, thought that the system only stipulated good-looking¡ªit didn¡¯t specify big or small bears, right?


    With that thought, Chen Cang decided to look for Qin Yue to strike off a task.


    He got up and scurried over, ¡°Qin Yue, Qin Yue.¡±


    Qin Yue kept her eyes glued to the computer, ¡°Let¡­ ¡±


    Chen Cang hummed in acknowledgment and nodded, ¡°What do you think of me?¡±


    Qin Yue, ¡°Not much.¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°Come on, say it properly, seriously, tell the truth!¡±


    Qin Yue rolled her eyes without saying much, ever since the last time Chen Cang sent her a picture of lung echinococcosis during a meal, Qin Yue was ready to block him at any moment.


    Chen Cang persistently nagged, ¡°Don¡¯t be like that, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance. Let me be your boyfriend for one second, how about it?¡±


    Qin Yue was stunned, her face full of incredulity as she looked at Chen Cang, ¡°One second is enough for what?! Chen Cang, you¡¯re way too quick!¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s voice suddenly increased, causing Chen Cang to lose his balance. Wang Qian, Shi Na, Wang Yong, and the head nurse all turned around together, staring at Chen Cang with eyes full of¡­ sympathy!


    Chen Cang was immediately bewildered!


    He hurriedly waved his hands, ¡°Everyone¡¯s got it wrong; it¡¯s not what you¡¯re thinking!¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue, thinking that this task would have to be postponed.


    What¡¯s the need for love?


    Men should prioritize their career.


    Five hundred tendon sutures, it is not difficult, but it is not simple either.


    As an emergency department in a public hospital, there is one advantage: abundant resources.


    The 120 emergency center is constantly on the run,, there¡¯s no shortage of patients needing emergency care; the fear isn¡¯t that the emergency department has no patients, but that it lacks capability.


    Without any promotion, we¡¯d get ten to eight tendon suture cases daily, and now with dedicated advertising, this should increase significantly.


    The provincial second hospital has no department for hand surgery, which allowed the nearby private Wu Bureau Orthopedics Hospital to gradually boom.


    They keenly tapped into the business opportunity, spotted the surrounding deficiencies, put effort into it, and started organizing a hand surgery department after bringing in equipment and machinery from outside the area.


    However, their charges are naturally quite a bit higher than public hospitals, but their business is really good, and the results are pretty decent as well.


    But Chen Cang was curious about one thing, whether the provincial second hospital didn¡¯t set up a hand surgery department because of lack of personnel, or some other reason?


    He even speculated whether there was an unspoken secret between the owner of the private hospital and the upper echelons of the provincial second hospital.


    However, these things didn¡¯t concern Chen Cang much.


    No sooner had his voice died away than the nurse started calling out from the outside.


    Chen Cang stood up and went out directly; the atmosphere in the office was too oppressive, it was more comfortable out there completing tasks.


    He saw a middle-aged man in a white coat standing in the emergency department, anxiously holding a big wad of tissue wrapped around his left hand.


    ¡°Doctor! How much is tendon suture?¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang came out, the patient¡¯s first question was this.


    Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback, ¡°That depends on the specific circumstances, come with me, let¡¯s see what exactly happened.¡±


    The man seemed to be a chef, carrying a smell of food on him as he ran in.


    The man hesitated, ¡°But¡­ if it¡¯s too expensive, I might¡­¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Let¡¯s take a look at the situation first. Tendon suture can vary significantly, and it¡¯s hard to say whether nerves have been damaged.¡±


    The man gritted his teeth and followed Chen Cang into the treatment room. After Chen Cang pulled off the tissue from the man¡¯s injured left hand, the cut on the second joint of his index finger gradually became visible.


    The man grimaced with a smile, ¡°I cut my hand while chopping meat. Good thing I pulled back on the force, or my finger would have come off.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, rinsed the injury with saline, then disinfected with hydrogen peroxide which doesn¡¯t stain, before examining it briefly with tweezers.


    There was not any major issue, just that the extensor tendon of the index finger was half severed, and the blood vessels were somewhat damaged, but no big issue. The main concern now was that the tendon damage was quite severe.


    Chen Cang made an estimate and said, ¡°Including medication and examination, the cost will be around 1000 yuan.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man immediately flinched, ¡°My goodness, isn¡¯t that too expensive? More than a thousand just to sew this up, I can¡¯t afford it, I can¡¯t afford it, I won¡¯t have it sewed anymore, I¡¯ll go to a small clinic and get it patched up.¡±


    ¡°But thank you, doctor, for cleaning it up for me, oh, and could I have a couple of gauze pads?¡±


    Chen Cang still patiently explained, ¡°Actually, there is a significant difference in tendon suturing. Clinics are cheaper because they use different materials, and I can¡¯t vouch for their technique, but mainly the difference is the cost of the suture material.¡±


    ¡°For tendon suturing, we recommend using microfibrillar and prolene because the body has a smaller reaction to these types of sutures, their surface has an antibacterial coating, which can help the tendon heal stronger and prevent adhesion during suture, without affecting mobility afterwards.¡±


    ¡°This is for the sake of your future recovery; it¡¯s not that I¡¯m trying to overcharge you.¡±


    PS: Today everyone thought there would be an update at noon, but there wasn¡¯t. That was my fault, I didn¡¯t make it clear, and I apologize to everyone.


    Usually, if there is an update at noon, I will inform everyone in the evening¡¯s update, stating updates will be at 12 PM.


    Today I was organizing the outline, sorting out the plot, as I realized after writing the daily events that the main story was dragging behind, so I was busy all day. Also, updating has been a bit tiring recently, and the pressure is high.


    There are only three chapters tonight. There will be two updates at noon tomorrow.


    Finally, thank you all for your support, I truly appreciate it. As a seasoned author, I¡¯m working hard to finish this book well. In terms of updating, I feel I am quite diligent.

 Chapter 234 - Chapter 234: Chapter 235: Chens Conception

    Chapter 234: Chapter 235: Chen¡¯s Conception


    Chen Cang stated the facts straightforwardly, the price of a single thread ranged from a few yuan to several thousand yuan at various levels.


    The pricing of medical devices was even confusing for Chen Cang.


    A bone surgery instrument, similar to an ear scoop, would set you back almost ten thousand yuan, and something like a tongs used in surgeries cost several ten thousands of yuan without ever dropping in price. The key issue was that these were still not manufacturable domestically.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand these things, but he always felt it was a profiteering industry.


    However, the differences between various consumables, such as hemostatic gauzes and microfilament threads, were still significant. Once sewn into the human body, their external coating could effectively play a significant role.


    After listening to Chen Cang¡¯s explanation, the chef was slightly stunned, ¡°Is it really that amazing?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah, for example, you are a chef. You must know the difference between a good kitchen knife and a cheap one, right? Moreover, this type of thread stays inside your body permanently. The difference is substantial. These threads are sold by the piece, and one alone can cost several hundred yuan. There are differences in toughness and durability too. Since tendons are stretchable and motile tissues, there are many considerations when stitching them.¡±


    After finishing his explanation, Chen Cang looked at the chef and smiled, ¡°Of course, as a doctor, all I can do is inform you of these things. As for which option you choose, that¡¯s ultimately up to you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the chef went silent. After mulling it over and murmuring to himself, ¡°A bowl of noodles I sell is just 10 yuan. I make a few hundred in a day, taking home two or three hundred, and your one thread costs as much as two or three days of my earnings¡­ it really is¡­¡±


    As he finished speaking, the chef clearly hesitated, ¡°Doctor, I¡¯m not well-educated, so please don¡¯t trick me¡­¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Your money goes to the hospital; I just earn a fee for my skills.¡±


    Upon hearing that, the chef couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°I know you¡¯re not overcharging. Just now, I went to the neighboring Wu Bureau Orthopedic Hospital, and when I asked about the price, it scared me to death. They said a full-set treatment would cost over three to five thousand yuan and told me my condition was very dangerous, and my hand could end up totally useless.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and said nothing.


    After hesitating for a long while, the chef clenched his teeth and made a decision, ¡°Let¡¯s stitch it up!¡±


    Tendon repair might be a minor surgery, but unless it¡¯s for patients who require urgent stitching, others still need to go through the standard checks, and not a single required signature could be omitted.


    The chef was anxious, but he was even more worried about potential future issues with his fingers.


    After all, his livelihood depended on his craft. If he were to suffer from an ongoing problem, it would complicate earning a living!


    Moreover, the index finger is functionally very important; any complications would be troublesome.


    Thinking of this, even though he gritted his teeth, he knew he had to proceed with what needed to be done.


    Upon arriving at the hospital, regardless of being wealthy or not, everyone is reluctant to spend money. The chef earns quite well per month, but the thought of spending still hurt.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    For these minor surgeries, most people prefer the emergency department, as it¡¯s faster to get in and out, and it tends to save a considerable amount of money.


    Only in cases where the condition is serious and the surgery is complex do people wish to be treated as inpatients in the Department of Hand Surgery. Simply put, it is out of necessity that they opt for hospitalization.


    One advantage of the Provincial Hospital Emergency Department is the presence of an emergency inpatient department, which can accommodate short-term patients to handle such minor surgeries.


    Surgeries like laparoscopic acute appendectomy or cholecystectomy are examples, as they don¡¯t require much time from the patients.


    This is similar to the case for surgeries in the Department of Hand Surgery; in fact, after the stitching is complete, there is no need to stay in the hospital continuously. You take some anti-inflammatory medication, and when it¡¯s time, you¡¯re discharged.


    Even Chen Cang felt that in the future, the emergency department could offer circumcision surgeries, as people come in a hurry and the procedure is completed within an hour. You get up, walk away, and just wait to have the stitches removed.


    So, the emergency department isn¡¯t worried about a lack of patients; it¡¯s more about lacking the capacity. If you¡¯re good at what you do, patients will flood in, and the real worry is being too busy to handle them all.


    Of course, tendon repairs and such are manageable, as they are acute injuries that can be treated in the emergency department. But this¡­ circumcision surgery doesn¡¯t seem to associate at all with the emergency department.


    After all, no patient would run to the emergency department because of a circumcision issue.


    At this thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel a tinge of regret. After all, having nowhere to apply his Dragon Descending techniques gave rise to a touch of frustrated spirits.


    After the surgery began, Chen Cang specifically went to the newly established operating room.


    It was still brachial plexus anesthesia, and Chen Cang called for Qin Yue.


    Because Chen Cang now had an idea.


    He thought about how his master-level tendon suturing had two specific effects.


    One was reducing adhesions, and the other was hastening recovery.


    The reason these were considered special effects was not that they lacked a scientific basis, but rather, they achieved certain special aims after suturing with particular surgical techniques.


    Since that was the case, Chen Cang wondered if he could separate these special effects.


    What did that mean?


    It meant targeted research.


    Essentially, what caused these special effects? For instance, in reducing adhesions, what kind of techniques and surgical methods could lead to this outcome.


    That was very important!


    If this could be researched, it would hold value in advancing and promoting the entire field.


    And to do this work, a helper was needed!


    That would be Qin Yue, who possessed a unique perspective and mindset for scientific research. Chen Cang felt that many things he couldn¡¯t think of, Qin Yue could.


    If these special effects could be separated and summarized, each one could be an extraordinary paper, even an amazing surgical technique.


    Professor Tang Jinbo¡¯s Tang suture method for flexor tendon repair was an excellent case in point.


    His principles and methods for repairing tendons within the flexor sheath were of significant instructive value, increasing the rate of excellent and good results from 60-70% to 85%.


    This zoning theory and treatment principle had a substantial impact in the international academic community and was referred to as ¡°Tang¡¯s Zoning¡± abroad.


    Chen Cang suddenly thought, if he thoroughly researched, could he also achieve a perfect improvement in the success rate of extensor tendon repair?


    Regardless, one should always have dreams!


    Qin Yue skillfully tied a tourniquet on the upper third of the upper arm and laid the drape.


    The damaged zone was in area 1, and Chen Cang had already assisted the patient with early debridement before starting.


    Chen Cang possessed master-level tendon suturing skills, which included not just the suturing of the tendon but also its debridement.


    Early, thorough debridement directly affected the prognosis. It eliminated necrotic tissue contamination and foreign material, which, combined with subsequent steps of treatment, aimed to reduce post-trauma inflammatory response and prevent large amounts of exudate from accumulating at the wound site, causing severe postoperative tendon adhesions.


    The principles of tendon repair were: no tension, no torsion, and no damage.


    As Chen Cang worked, he said to Qin Yue, ¡°Take note of every step. I feel that tendon suturing is definitely not just about suturing; it is also critically related to early debridement and later rehabilitation.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded without speaking, her large eyes deep in thought.


    The surgery proceeded smoothly. Chen Cang¡¯s suturing method was different from others¡ªit was an original method, which even made Qin Yue frown slightly.


    At the Second Provincial Hospital, Chen Cang rarely performed tendon suturing. Qin Yue had only seen it once before and was somewhat surprised at the time. Watching it again, she couldn¡¯t help but find it novel.


    Chen Cang worked quickly. He found that this speed brought obvious advantages, and it did not affect his stability.

 Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: Chapter 236: The Soul of Surgery (Extra for 4000 monthly votes)

    Chapter 235: Chapter 236: The Soul of Surgery (Extra for 4000 monthly votes)


    Chen Cang, performing surgery, suddenly remembered something Qian Liang had said!


    It was during the time they were taking the establishment exam when Qian Liang commented either on Zhou Xiaodong or Li Shijian.


    He had said that his surgery lacked a soul!


    At the time, Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand at all what that meant. He thought the comment was pretentious, lacking any real substance, but now! Chen Cang had an epiphany!


    What does it mean to lack a soul?


    It means not thinking!


    Not delving deeply into the thought process, into the connotations and purposes of surgery.


    It¡¯s like sculpture, following a template without your own thoughts and understanding, lacking sufficient knowledge about your work.


    So, what is the soul of surgery?


    Chen Cang furrowed his brows, faintly sensing he was onto something.


    Chen Cang felt that the soul was something a surgery, from any angle, using any method, must achieve certain goals, with the soul being the effectiveness.


    For example, in Tendon Suture Surgery, how can you give the suture a soul?


    Anyone can perform a tendon suture, just as anyone can sculpt¡ªit¡¯s the same principle.


    Then, the soul should be how you view the tendon as a living thing, trying every means to put yourself in the tendon¡¯s place, thinking about how to enable a more effective and rapid healing.


    At that moment, Chen Cang seemed to feel it!


    He looked thoughtfully at the tissue surrounding the tendon.


    The peritendinous tissue is rich, including the internal and external membranes of the tendon, tendon sheath, and vincula. When repairing a tendon, one should avoid damaging them; they provide the blood supply for tendons, maintaining the integrity of the tendon¡¯s gliding mechanism, and reducing adhesion after surgery.


    Therefore, Chen Cang took special care to avoid surrounding tissue during suturing to prevent any damage.


    Chen Cang was already considering any factors that could affect tendon adhesion, thinking about how to minimize these factors.


    For example, in the choice of suturing material, Chen Cang purposely chose the micro-bridge thread; its antimicrobial coating could effectively reduce the inflammatory response, thus avoiding adhesions.


    Protecting the peritendinous tissue can also effectively lessen the response between peritendinous tissue and the tendon.


    ¡­


    With every step, Chen Cang considered every angle, from how to handle the ends of the tendon, to choosing a suturing method, to the precise alignment of the tendon, to the treatment of scars around the incision.


    Steel wire was supposed to be used for tendon suturing, but Chen Cang didn¡¯t use it because it was possible to increase the toughness of the micro-bridge line through special suturing techniques.


    The advantage of the Kessler suture method was its firmness and strength; the suture site was not prone to splitting. Chen Cang combined these advantages with his suturing method but also ingeniously incorporated his own concepts.


    This time, Chen Cang¡¯s suturing took much longer than usual.


    But there was much more thinking involved!


    After the surgery, Chen Cang advised the patient, including postoperative recovery and exercise, which was standard practice.


    After the patient left, Chen Cang fell into deep thought. However, as much as he thought, he couldn¡¯t pinpoint what was different.


    One surgery was too short a time to summarize. Perhaps after 500 tendon sutures, he could really create a method not inferior to the Tang method for treating flexor tendons, a suture method for extensor tendons.


    By that time, he could name a surgical procedure after himself, called the Chen Suture Method, and once the theory and treatment principles and surgical methods were established, the zones of the extensor tendon would be known as ¡°Chen¡¯s zones¡±!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel more anticipation and eagerness to try!


    A person without goals lacks motivation.


    The most important thing now is to concentrate efforts, do more research, think more, and summarize more.


    Seeing Chen Cang deep in thought, Qin Yue didn¡¯t dare interrupt, clearly sensing that Chen Cang was taking much longer than usual this time.


    Suddenly, he thought that he should bring the camera he recently bought for the next surgery; a standard operating theater camera was clearly not precise enough to capture such intricate work.


    Chen Cang suddenly turned around, looking at Qin Yue, ¡°Qin Yue, hey, this time, let¡¯s do something big!¡±


    Qin Yue was startled, staring at Chen Cang in astonishment, ¡°What big thing?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°You know about the Tang Suture Technique, right?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s a technique by our national hero. The Tang Suture Technique is recognized worldwide for the suturing of flexor tendons. Even the zones of the flexor tendon have been named Tang¡¯s Zones. This achievement has been celebrated as the most epoch-making in the field of hand surgery in 70 years!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°Ever thought about creating a ¡®Chen¡¯s Zones¡¯ and a ¡®Chen Suture Technique¡¯?¡±


    Qin Yue was stunned, his mouth agape, ¡°Chen Cang, wake up. What are you daydreaming about?¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t say a word and walked out, taking off his gloves, ¡°Just you wait and see!¡±


    Watching Chen Cang¡¯s confident and determined look, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help swallowing hard. It wasn¡¯t that he doubted Chen Cang, but the goal was just too ambitious.


    Challenging the Tang Suture Technique, you¡¯ve really got some nerve!


    Just as he left the operating room, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system¡¯s prompt sound.


    [Ding! A special challenge mission has been triggered: Establish the ¡®Chen Flexor Tendon Suture Technique,¡¯ summarize experience, and research a new method for flexor tendon suture surgery recognized by the ¡®European Journal of Hand Surgery¡¯ to receive rewards: 1. Tendon Suture Surgery skill automatically upgraded to perfect level; 2. Open a hand surgery job transfer certificate (purple); 3. +20 skill points. 4. One piece of customized hand surgery equipment. Time limit: 3 years. Task failure warning: Your hand surgery job transfer will not be unlocked.]


    [Ding! From now on, your Tendon Suture Surgery skill cannot be upgraded to the perfect level through skill points. It can only be improved through ongoing experience enhancement by tackling difficult cases and breaking through the shackles!]


    Following the two consecutive prompts, Chen Cang suddenly froze.


    I¡­ I was just boasting a little, big brother, do you have to take it so seriously?


    Looking at the system¡¯s prompt, Chen Cang stood there somewhat dumbfounded.


    Although the task was challenging, the rewards were indeed rich.


    Not to mention anything else, the opening of the hand surgery job transfer certificate, and that purple mark was indeed tempting.


    A direct 20 skill points¡ªthat¡¯s equivalent to leveling up 20 times.


    Plus one piece of customized hand surgery equipment.


    Three years of time!


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, it wasn¡¯t impossible. Professor Tang was only in his fifties now, and he was quite young when he discovered the Tang Suture Technique. Nothing is impossible.


    After returning to the emergency department, Chen Cang found the head nurse: ¡°Head nurse, if there¡¯s a tendon suture case, call me. I¡¯ll be there anytime, no matter when.¡±


    Tian Xianglan was astonished, ¡°Have you gone mad?¡±


    Qin Yue followed behind and said, ¡°He says he¡¯s going to do something big!¡±


    The head nurse was stunned, for a second, wondering what big thing could be done?


    ps: For today, a temporary five updates, thank you.

 Chapter 236 - Chapter 236: Chapter 237: Emergency Arrangements

    Chapter 236: Chapter 237: Emergency Arrangements


    ¡°`


    After the emergency department added a new hand surgery unit, Li Baoshan began to run around, busily getting things moving.


    After all, the operating rooms that cost so much money to build couldn¡¯t just be used as display models; at the very least, they needed to earn back their cost.


    Although the hospital was a public institution, the construction of the department still had to come from departmental funds. The emergency department was already a precision poverty alleviation department within the hospital. Having finally received support from the hospital to set up the hand surgery unit, Li Baoshan was not willing to let go of any opportunity.


    They say that although a sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs.


    The emergency department now also had a decent structure, with advanced talent recruitment underway. The two additional operating rooms would soon be ready for use. Gradually, the emergency general surgery, hand surgery, thoracic surgery, and orthopedics had started to take shape.


    Next, everything depended on the department¡¯s helmsman, Li Baoshan.


    At this time, Qin Xiaoyuan and Li Baoshan were sitting in the office with Li Jianwei from orthopedics.


    ¡°Old Li, your burden is not light this time. The hospital already faced a lot of pressure when giving your emergency department those two operating rooms; it was the hospital¡¯s money that established your hand surgery unit, and now you¡¯re bringing in two senior talents. Everyone in the hospital is watching you!¡± Qin Xiaoyuan said frankly to Li Baoshan.


    ¡°Hand surgery is traditionally part of orthopedics, and this time, it¡¯s also thanks to Jianwei¡¯s strong support that the hand surgery unit was established. The two departments should cooperate and keep in touch, given that hand surgery is a branch of orthopedics. With Jianwei¡¯s rich experience, you must ensure the successful setup of the hand surgery unit.¡±


    ¡°The development of our Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s surgery system has been relatively behind, but it can¡¯t be changed overnight. The emergency department is an important reflection of a hospital¡¯s medical standard. This significant investment can¡¯t go to waste, Old Li. You have to take more care. Besides everything else, at the very least, you have to increase the department¡¯s profit. It cannot continue to lose money every year.¡± Qin Xiaoyuan said with a sense of helplessness.


    Li Baoshan nodded. Although his face was expressionless, he understood very well that if the hospital¡¯s support for the emergency department did not result in a return, it would weigh heavily on both President Qin and President Li.


    Inside the hospital, various powers were entangled; even a small position was fiercely contested, let alone the construction of a key support department.


    If the hospital invested so much effort to support the emergency department, yet achieved nothing, it would undoubtedly invite criticism, not just towards Li Baoshan but also towards Qin Xiaoyuan.


    As the president, you must coordinate all related affairs within the hospital properly, and since the hospital is financially independent, you also have to distribute resources reasonably.


    If you were to use the profits of other departments to develop the emergency department, there would naturally be objections.


    Qin Xiaoyuan also had a heavy burden!


    Just like an enterprise, the hospital¡¯s development direction still depends on the president.


    And although Tan Liguo was indeed the secretary, the hospital was different from other public institutions. At the very least, the development of Provincial Second Hospital was determined by Qin Xiaoyuan.


    Li Baoshan nodded and said to Li Jianwei, ¡°This time, we also have to trouble President Li.¡±


    Li Jianwei shook his head, smiled, and eased the atmosphere. ¡°Director Li, we have been old friends for so many years. Let¡¯s not speak in empty pleasantries and just be straightforward.¡±


    ¡°Although hand surgery is indeed a type of orthopedic surgery, if we want to systematically carry it out, our orthopedic department does not have the capacity to do it well.¡±


    ¡°Since hand surgery has been set up in the emergency department, let¡¯s take it one step at a time, gradually improving. In no time, the hand surgery unit will grow; that¡¯s how a department builds its foundation.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded again.


    And Li Jianwei continued, ¡°Moreover, a crucial point is that hand surgery is quite suitable for the emergency department. Patients have short inpatient stays in the emergency department, which is a perfect match, and the profit isn¡¯t low. Orthopedics seems to make tens of thousands per surgery, but the materials and equipment are expensive, and there are many participants. As a result, the earnings don¡¯t seem as substantial. In hand surgery, though an inpatient case only brings in 5000-10000 yuan, the quantity and short duration mean the profit isn¡¯t negligible.¡±


    ¡°Given the significant effort that President Qin has made for the hospital, there have already been some dissenting views. Director Li, you really need to work hard to ensure the hand surgery unit is well established!¡±


    In the end, it all comes down to money!


    ¡°`


    How does that show your department is developing?


    By the end of each month and year, when profits are tallied, we¡¯ll know how well the emergency department has developed, and whether you as the director are competent.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    On Friday afternoon, before the end of the workday, Li Baoshan returned to the emergency office, urgently summoned everyone, and held a meeting.


    He arranged for those who were off on the weekend to organize a publicity event, each person dedicating half a day to help promote the Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s hand surgery department.


    An Yanjun was in charge, and the now Director An could be said to be full of lofty aspirations, his gentle face etched with determination, even his gold-rimmed glasses shone more than before.


    Everyone had no complaints about this, after all, if the emergency department did well, everyone¡¯s income could gradually increase. Adding a hand surgery service was a good thing for the emergency department.


    Chen Cang was not assigned to the promotional work but was sent to a recruitment fair for hiring.


    Being contract staff, the department still had enough autonomy.


    After work, Chen Cang received a call from Luo Zhou, ¡°Cang Er, everyone is eating on the third floor of the school, come over for a chat?¡±


    After hesitating, before Chen Cang could speak, Luo Zhou said, ¡°Come on, all of us from Anyang are here, it would be bad form if you didn¡¯t show up!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Alright.¡±


    The third-floor cafeteria of the school was a small restaurant outsourced to a private vendor, with private rooms and mainly a la carte dining, where everyone used to gather during college.


    The prices were cheap, at least half what you¡¯d pay at an outside restaurant, and a meal wouldn¡¯t cost much per person.


    Chen Cang took a taxi and headed straight there.


    Chen Cang¡¯s arrival was indeed a pleasant surprise to everyone and was also warmly welcomed.


    The meal was lively, indistinguishable from their university days.


    They still ordered the same dishes they did in university, still spent time with the same people, and even the tone of their conversation had not changed much.


    This made Chen Cang feel he had been the one who changed the most over the past three years.


    Quite reflective.


    As they ate and talked, Chen Cang learned that nearly everyone was in graduate school, also at Dongyang Medical University. Many, like Luo Zhou¡¯s girlfriend Dong Jia, had failed to get into graduate school on their first attempt but succeeded on their second.


    After learning that Chen Cang had only started his graduate studies this year, his friends teased him incessantly, insisting he sit next to them and address them as seniors.


    It was indeed a bustling affair.


    At the time, there were 58 people in the class, and now more than twenty had come, filling two tables. Although it wasn¡¯t an official gathering, there was still a good turnout. In fact, most of them studied at Dongyang Medical University and often saw each other.


    It was just a spontaneous decision to get together.

 Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: Chapter 238: Dog Eyes Looking Down on People A

    Chapter 237: Chapter 238: Dog Eyes Looking Down on People A


    After dinner, everyone suddenly proposed to go sit at the football field.


    Sitting on the football field, enjoying the breeze, actually felt rather comfortable.


    We formed a large circle and sat on the artificial turf, smelling the familiar rubber scent, and burst into hearty laughter.


    We asked each other what we had been up to in the past years, discussed where we would go tomorrow, and talked about the changes in the last three years.


    We griped about how the hospitals didn¡¯t treat resident doctors like real doctors.


    We complained about how hard jobs were to find.


    We bemoaned the profession of medicine for not providing for the elderly or the young, leaving us with nothing during the time in life when money was most needed for marriage.


    We joked about the booming pork market and whether we should switch careers sooner.


    Upon reaching thirty, we finally had more to consider.


    All of a sudden, Chen Cang realized that in the blink of an eye, three years had passed by, and everyone had hardly changed.


    We were still so naive, still so simple, and still so poor.


    The only change in those three years, Chen Cang felt, might be that everyone had less hair, a higher hairline, more stress, uglier partners, a closer approach to everyday life, and a more distant future.


    I got home after ten.


    Instead of resting, Chen Cang opened up some videos of surgical teaching to watch.


    If he was going to do this, he naturally had to throw himself into it wholeheartedly.


    Chen Cang turned on the computer, carefully considered and studied each tendon suture surgery video, and then reclassified and summarized them.


    After mastering the techniques at a master-level in tendon suture surgery, Chen Cang¡¯s perspective had improved, which changed his concepts and thoughts when watching surgery videos.


    There are several main tendon suture techniques, such as the figure-of-eight suture, also known as Bunnell¡¯s method, which is particularly suitable for hand tendon suturing. There were also the weaving suture method, the loop suture method, Kessler suture method, Tsuge (the loop tying method), Kleinert suture method, and so on, each with its advantages. However, the importance lay in how to play to their strengths, avoid their shortcomings, and find a more appropriate suture method.


    This was of significant importance.


    As for the Tang suture method, Chen Cang didn¡¯t know how to perform it¡­


    Not to mention Chen Cang¡¯s lack of skill, even in Dongyang, few were adept at the Tang suture method because training someone in the Tang suture technique was costly, the surgery was difficult, and the risks were high.


    The Tang suture method required high skills from hand surgeons, had a difficult training period, which resulted in high costs, and improved the efficacy from 60-70% to 85%.


    This 15% increase in difficulty required surgeons to invest more than twice the effort and more time, and also meant patients had to spend more than half of the usual surgery cost.


    So, it wasn¡¯t that people from Dongyang Province were less smart; it was just that under the circumstances, there wasn¡¯t much necessity for everyone to strive for perfection.


    In comparison, the Kessler suture method was simple, brutal, and had high efficacy, and everyone could learn it. Wasn¡¯t that appealing?


    Moreover, a Tang suture method that¡¯s only slightly better wasn¡¯t as efficient as a well-trained Kessler suture method.


    Chen Cang watched the videos, jotting down notes and making sketches, until after one in the morning before going to sleep.


    Meanwhile, Qin Yue still wasn¡¯t asleep.


    In comparison to Chen Cang, Qin Yue¡¯s deficiencies in the field of tendon suture were even more apparent. She wasn¡¯t originally from this specialty, but she started to encounter all sorts of things after coming to the emergency department. God knows why Chen Cang suddenly decided to daydream and set such a delusional goal.


    To improve the Tang suture method and create the Chen suture method, how grandiose can your heart be?


    ¡°`


    But, as much as I grumbled, the tasks at hand were not reduced by even a little bit.


    I sat with my notebook doodling and scribbling away, and before I knew it, I had churned out more than twenty pages in one evening. Then it was on to scouring domestic and international literature for various indicators and so forth.


    Watching the complex suturing methods on video, Qin Yue felt her head swell several sizes larger. She leaned back in her chair, let out a breath of exhaustion, and suddenly had a lightbulb moment¡ªshe patted the bear, questioning, ¡°Is it really that small?¡±


    With that thought, Qin Yue felt a surge of unwillingness to concede. She turned on her phone¡¯s beauty camera, undid the buttons of her pajama top, and posed for the camera for quite a while. It wasn¡¯t too bad, right? She had everything that was needed!


    Those tone-deaf fools, judging a book by its cover!


    Especially Chen Cang!


    Push me too far and I¡¯ll get a D-cup to scare the lot of you!


    After taking a dozen sets of videos from all angles for herself, Qin Yue watched them with great satisfaction¡ªshe really was stunning!


    Lost in admiration, Qin Yue asked, ¡°Mirror, mirror, who is the fairest woman in the world?¡±


    The smart speaker replied, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s you, Master! You are the fairest woman in the world.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue¡¯s mood soared, ¡°Then, who is the biggest bear of a woman in the world?¡±


    ¡°Oh dear, Master, what a naughty question¡ªI haven¡¯t learned the answer to that one yet.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day, Chen Cang arrived early at Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital.


    Today, Fu Yulan¡¯s recovery should be complete. The shape, size, elasticity, and so on, should all have stabilized. Chen Cang was eager to see the results as this was his first product and he had invested so much effort into it.


    As soon as he entered the hospital, Xu Rou was already there. She nodded slightly and respectfully greeted him, ¡°Doctor Chen, good morning!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°Manager Xu, good morning.¡±


    Xu Rou¡¯s demeanor towards Chen Cang had warmed considerably since their initial encounters, with her regard for him now sitting at a 15.


    After all, capable people are generally held in respect.


    While others merely flashed a token smile, Xu Rou¡¯s smile was shakier than a leaf in the breeze, ¡°Doctor Chen, Miss Fu Yufang has arrived and is in the ward now. Also, recently a few others have shown interest in undergoing Tendon Suture Surgery. After seeing your prices, they were very curious and wanted to come for a consultation.¡±


    After saying this, Xu Rou handed over a magazine.


    Chen Cang took it, and after a brief pause of surprise, he saw that he took up a full page, with a portrait of himself (glancing at the cover), surrounded by a resume (Zhang Zhixin¡¯s version), and then the price: 1 million!


    Xu Rou chuckled, ¡°This is Director Zhang¡¯s idea. You are now the face of our hospital. We¡¯ll accept some appointments and then get in touch with you. Does that sound good to you, Doctor Chen?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded. This strategy was indeed extravagant¡ªa million-yuan aesthetic designer was quite the catchphrase.


    ¡°Have them come over this morning. They can afford the price?¡± Chen Cang asked in disbelief. After all, 1 million was a very high price, the top tier in the country. The general rate hovered around 200,000, making his price five times more expensive than others!


    Xu Rou smiled, ¡°We have a number of upscale clients, and their spending power is quite high. They are also our VIP customers, with annual maintenance costs around a million yuan.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded thoughtfully.


    It seemed that having a platform was important; otherwise, skills alone wouldn¡¯t be enough to make an impact.


    It looked like he would have to collaborate more closely with Yang Tao and Qin Xiang in the future.

    Chapter 240: Chapter 241: Remote Consultation (Added for 4500 monthly tickets)


    This design is no simple task!


    Chen Cang suddenly realized that skin flap transplantation was not as simple as he had imagined. If it were for the hands or legs, that would be one thing, but a facial defect was completely different.


    You can imagine how difficult it is, to patch up a missing piece of flesh on the face and still make the face look good. Here¡¯s an example to illustrate the challenge!


    There were too many considerations.


    He had to consider the path of the blood vessels, the choice of skin flaps, where to make the incisions, how much skin to remove, and how to maintain a good shape when stitching.


    At this moment, Xu Kailin, the attending doctor of patient 20, Dou Xin, walked in and saw Chen Cang gesturing continuously at Dou Xin¡¯s face. Her expression instantly changed. Who is he?


    And just as she was about to speak, Qin Xiang suddenly shushed her.


    Xu Kailin looked at the director and couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.


    Chen Cang looked for a long while, his beautiful eyes continuously outlining various possibilities.


    Chen Cang said to the girl, ¡°Can you unbutton your top a little?¡±


    Dou Xin hesitated for a moment, then unbuttoned her shirt, but her face instantly turned red all the way to the neck.


    Chen Cang noticed that the young girl was indeed very pale and had good skin; the color of the skin in the chest area was not much different from the face, which gave him an idea.


    Chen Cang habitually reached for a pen, but after searching for a while, he remembered he wasn¡¯t wearing his white coat.


    Seeing this, Qin Xiang quickly came over and handed his pen from his pocket to Chen Cang, ¡°Here.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the ballpoint pen offered to him and shook his head, ¡°Give me a marker.¡±


    Xu Kailin hurriedly handed over a black marker from her pocket, thinking to herself, ¡®Is this the expert they called in? Why does the director respect him so much? But he looks so young!¡¯


    With this thought, Xu Kailin grew more curious. She wanted to see just how skilled this young man was.


    Chen Cang took the marker and began to draw on Dou Xin¡¯s face and chest.


    At this point, Qin Xiang leaned in for a closer look, furrowed his brow slightly, and thought, what kind of skin flap is this?


    An O-Z flap?


    No, that¡¯s not right!


    It seemed to have some shadows of an A-T flap, but the A-T flap, due to its versatile transformations, is more suitable for repairs in the never-ending hairline, nasal alar groove, and lip groove. However, this A-T flap, because of the three intersection points, tends to leave a ¡°T¡± shaped scar, right? And this area doesn¡¯t require an A-T flap.


    But this was too far from the traditional skin flap transplant, wasn¡¯t it?


    Qin Xiang had never seen such a skin flap transplant at all.


    Just then, Qin Xiang had an epiphany. Who said Chen Cang was a dermatologist?!


    Upon further thought, Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and chuckled at himself. How could Chen Cang know about skin flaps? He was thinking too much¡­


    Perhaps he was considering how to use aesthetic design principles on the skin!


    After sketching for a long time, Chen Cang finally set down the pen in his hand.


    He picked up his phone and took a photo. This was an idea.


    Chen Cang¡¯s choice was to use three sections of skin flaps¡ªone from behind the ear, one advanced from the neck, and a twisted pedicle from the chest.


    This way, he could achieve a better aesthetic result without affecting the blood circulation of the face.


    A simple large-area skin flap transplant, in Chen Cang¡¯s opinion, would not have a good recovery.


    After finishing, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief.


    Qin Xiang looked thoughtfully at Chen Cang, curious to know what was meant by ¡°this much effort.¡± So he asked, ¡°How about it? Chen, do you have any ideas?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I have a small suggestion.¡±


    At that moment, Xu Kailin was somewhat displeased with the mess Chen Cang had drawn on Dou Xin¡¯s face, thinking he was an expert.


    Do you think skin flap transplantation is just about moving a patch of skin over?


    Thinking this, Xu Kailin couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Maybe her expectations were too high!


    ¡°Director, the Sixth Hospital in Modu City said they can do a remote consultation at three o¡¯clock in the afternoon.¡±


    Qin Xiang was about to talk to Chen Cang when he was interrupted by Xu Kailin, but his eyes lit up when he heard her.


    ¡°Oh? Great! That¡¯s wonderful, what did they say?¡±


    Xu Kailin smiled, ¡°Director Xiao personally replied, saying he invited Director Wang this morning to participate, hoping to help this little girl!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang became excited!


    ¡°Great!¡±


    ¡°Great!¡±


    ¡°Great!¡±


    Three consecutive exclamations of ¡°great¡± undeniably showcased Qin Xiang¡¯s excitement.


    ¡°By the way, have the girl Xin Xin¡¯s medical records been sent over?¡±


    Xu Kailin nodded and said, ¡°They¡¯ve been sent.¡±


    The orthopedic and hand surgery departments of the Sixth Hospital in Modu City are nationally renowned, and Director Wang is an expert in the field of skin flap transplantation. With their collaborative consultation, a perfect solution would certainly be found. At this thought, Xu Kailin suddenly felt full of anticipation.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang also paused briefly. The Sixth Hospital in Modu City? That¡¯s quite a reputation!


    Chen Cang now wanted to hear their ideas and suggestions. Even though he possessed master-level skill in skin flap transplantation, medicine was all about communication and exchange. With this collaboration, they could better help the patient.


    Suddenly, Qin Xiang said, ¡°Chen, join the remote consultation this afternoon, and let¡¯s have lunch together at noon.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    At that moment, a thin man walked in. He was quite tall but seemed lethargic. His hair was thin and graying, and he had many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and on his forehead, making him look over sixty.


    The man carried a meal box and as soon as he entered the ward and saw Qin Xiang, he immediately smiled, deepening the wrinkles on his face.


    ¡°Director Qin, you¡¯re here? Not resting on the weekend?¡± The man put down the meal box, held Qin Xiang¡¯s hands, and bowed slightly as he spoke with a smile.


    Qin Xiang also smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve invited a few experts today to refine the surgical plan. We¡¯re aiming for surgery tomorrow. Oh, and let me introduce you, this is Doctor Chen, specially invited to design for Xin Xin. He¡¯s very skilled in the field of skin aesthetics.¡±


    The man hurried over to bow to Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, thank you for your troubles.¡±


    Chen Cang simply smiled and did not say much.


    After having lunch with Qin Xiang at the hospital cafeteria, Chen Cang suddenly realized that the cafeteria at the Second Provincial Hospital was better¡ªat least the serving lady¡¯s hand didn¡¯t tremble there, and she would scoop an extra spoonful of meat when she saw him.


    At three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the doctor¡¯s office television for remote meetings was turned on, ready to conduct a remote consultation.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the wealth and equipment of Dongda First Hospital. It seemed every department had such remote meeting equipment, and the convenience brought by technological development was obvious to all.


    The large screen was placed in the corner of the room, and as the image from the other side appeared, it felt like a huge office¡ªand the image was very clear.


    Seeing four or five doctors appear on the screen, Qin Xiang stood up and nodded slightly, ¡°Director Wang, Director Xiao, sorry to trouble you on Saturday, and thanks for helping with the consultation.¡±


    Wang Yushan looked quite authoritative with a square face and large ears. After exchanging pleasantries, he said, ¡°Director Qin, we¡¯re somewhat familiar with the patient¡¯s condition now, let¡¯s get started!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve discussed the patient¡¯s situation and have several proposals, but they¡¯re not unified. I¡¯ll start by sharing our thoughts and Director Qin, you listen first.¡±


    PS: Today, five chapters in total, thank you!

 Chapter 241 - Chapter 241: Chapter 242: Such a Familiar Scene! (Please Subscribe~)

    Chapter 241: Chapter 242: Such a Familiar Scene! (Please Subscribe~)


    Wang Yushan is an expert in the field of skin flap transplantation, renowned nationwide, and the orthopedics and hand surgery department of the Sixth Municipal Hospital is famous far and wide.


    Yesterday, he received a notification from the First Hospital of Dongyang East University and after learning about the patient Dou Xin¡¯s condition, he quickly organized a departmental case discussion.


    This was a challenging case of skin flap transplantation. The irregular scarring involved a substantial area, making effective skin flap transplantation particularly crucial.


    Even Wang Yushan, who is adept at this procedure, found it a bit of a headache!


    He discussed the matter with several department heads in related fields within the hospital and still could not make up his mind, selecting a few distinctive treatment methods.


    Wang Yushan brought out the first plan and slowly said, ¡°Director Qin, the first plan is the axial flap, proceeding according to the island flap technique. Here is the schematic, take a look.¡±


    As he spoke, Wang Yushan projected an image that appeared within everyone¡¯s view. This type of axial flap definitely involves the selection of a free flap with vascular pedicle from the body for composite tissue transplantation.


    ¡°Actually, it¡¯s about finding a flap on the body that can satisfy the needs of facial transplantation. Our options include the pectoral arm and scapular flaps, but then the problem we consider is the mismatch with the facial region, though the scapular area can be designed to include the ascending, descending, and transverse branches to supply blood¡­¡±


    Qin Xiang understood this one; he had also considered it. Relatively speaking, the operation was simpler, but the downsides were more apparent.


    For a transplanted flap to survive, it must have sufficient blood supply. The facial vessels are abundant but they are not large vessels, and their compatibility with the scapular region is limited. In fact, the best match would be with the chest, but the chest area was not sufficient!


    And most importantly, it was still impossible to preserve the pedicle!


    What is a pedicle?


    Generally speaking, the best plan for facial skin flap transplantation is still to preserve the pedicle, which keeps the skin flap supplied with blood from its original vessels without cutting them off. This ensures a good blood supply, facilitates future recovery, and most importantly, looks natural!


    It won¡¯t give off a strikingly abrupt appearance!


    Wang Yushan began to introduce the plans one by one, and everyone listened carefully. Chen Cang sat there, doodling with a pen, after all, many of Wang Yushan¡¯s ideas gave Chen Cang some good conceptions in front of him, which were worth learning from each other.


    After an hour, Wang Yushan introduced four methods.


    Each method had its own merits!


    The attending physicians were impressed, not without admiration for the strength of the Sixth Municipal Hospital!


    Such an opportunity for exchange with the Sixth Municipal Hospital was truly rare, and Qin Xiang directly called back all the resting physicians to participate collectively in this remote consultation.


    This was also a learning opportunity!


    To invite them to the First Hospital of Dongyang East University was not only improbable but would be quite troublesome and invariably involve a lot of effort.


    And even if you invited them for a consultation and spent money and effort, at most you could invite one or two people, but to have everyone involved in a discussion like this was completely impossible!


    Now, with the help of teleconferencing, five or six directors from the other side joined in to help design and discuss the facial skin flaps for Dou Xin, which was tantamount to a collaboration between the Sixth Municipal Hospital and the First Hospital of Dongyang East University!


    It was not only good for the patient but also a valuable learning opportunity for the First Hospital of Dongyang East University, whose skin flap transplantation technology lagged behind!


    So, who wouldn¡¯t cherish such an opportunity.


    Following the unveiling of the four skin flap transplantation design options, the office of the First Hospital of Dongyang East University fell into a brief silence.


    The doctors took up pens and wrote vigorously on paper, constantly recalling the ingenious points from earlier. These were the years of experience from the outstanding specialist directors, highly beneficial for this group of junior doctors!


    After a while, Wang Yushan broke the silence.


    ¡°Director Qin, which of these plans do you find most suitable?¡±


    Qin Xiang, to be honest, found each plan to have its unique features but he was not completely satisfied with any of them!


    None of them reached the level Qin Xiang had expected!


    Unable to hold back, Qin Xiang asked, ¡°Director Wang, the first plan has the highest feasibility, but its disadvantages are also very obvious, such as potential issues with post-transplant recovery and the survival rate of the flap. The second plan mainly uses a large amount of A-T transplantation, which results in more noticeable scarring, and the third plan¡­¡±


    Listening to Qin Xiang¡¯s reviews, Wang Yushan also nodded slightly. He had to admit, Qin Xiang was quite capable; this was evident just from his straightforward and incisive comments, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses.


    After Qin Xiang finished commenting, he pondered thoughtfully, recalling a paper scheme, furrowing his brow¡ªhe was thinking about a better option.


    Suddenly!


    A spark of inspiration struck, and Qin Xiang¡¯s eyes lit up, he quickly spoke up, ¡°Director Wang, I have an idea, but I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s feasible!¡±


    Wang Yushan was slightly taken aback, ¡°I¡¯m not sure what you mean, Director Qin¡­¡±


    Qin Xiang stood up with a smile, pulling the anatomical model of the office towards him, his eyes gleaming confidently, ¡°Director Wang, look, my idea is to choose from multiple donor areas!¡±


    Upon hearing Qin Xiang¡¯s words, the directors on the television also felt a flash of insight!


    Right!


    That¡¯s a great idea!


    Multiple donor sites can fully compensate for the original shortcomings and expand on the advantages!


    Wang Yushan was also filled with curiosity and quickly said, ¡°Director Qin, please elaborate.¡±


    Qin Xiang nodded, ¡°First of all, the patient Dou Xin is still young, only 18 years old, so his plasticity and growth are still very good. Therefore, given this, can we use a variety of skin flap transplant surgeries at the same time?¡±


    ¡°In the cheek area, in this section, we can completely use a V-Y advancement flap surgery, and in the area below, we use a rectangular advancement flap surgery¡­ Finally, in the region from the jaw to the neck, because the area is too long, we create a commensurate skin flap from the thoraco-brachial to scapular area, then preserve the vascular pedicle in the neck to perform a rotational skin flap transplant!¡±


    ¡°By doing so, we can take advantage of multiple free skin flaps, giving the face wound more donor site options!¡±


    ¡°In this case, in the later stages of recovery, there will definitely be a good healing effect!¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, the office fell into a brief silence!


    Then, applause broke out!


    In both offices, everyone started clapping for Qin Xiang!


    It truly was a brilliant idea, a genius design, a miraculous choice of flaps!


    Even Wang Yushan couldn¡¯t help but praise it!


    ¡°Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant, Director Qin is indeed impressive. This idea is simply too good! You¡¯ve opened our eyes to the capabilities of First East Hospital. To come up with such a splendid skin flap design plan is beyond most people¡¯s reach!¡± Wang Yushan said sincerely!


    The Director in charge of skin flap transplants at Sixth Municipal Hospital also expressed his amazement and endless praise!


    ¡°Exactly! This idea is really too good, Director Qin. Your idea can be described as an eye-opener; it seems we should definitely strengthen communication and cooperation between our two hospitals in the future!¡±


    Listening to the successive praises from the directors of Sixth Municipal Hospital, Qin Xiang truly felt very relaxed and extremely comfortable!


    With a sigh, Wang Yushan then said with a smile, ¡°I wonder how Director Qin thought up such a skin flap transplant scheme? I must learn a thing or two from you!¡±


    Qin Xiang was stunned. Right¡­


    How could he come up with such a brilliant design plan?


    At that thought, Qin Xiang found it incomprehensible¡­


    He felt as if he¡¯d had a flash of inspiration, as if everything had fallen into place, as though he¡¯d been granted this plan by some divine providence.


    Perhaps¡­ this is talent?


    After all, no one taught him¡­


    In the First East Hospital¡¯s Department of Dermatology office, everyone was looking at Qin Xiang as if he were an idol. If they could display their inner thoughts as comments, they would all be: 66666666


    Director Qin truly lives up to his name, even those from Second Municipal Hospital must acknowledge his skill after seeing this!


    Impressive!


    However, there was one person who was somewhat perplexed.


    Xu Kailin had also turned into a little fangirl of Director Qin. After all, such a genius design is truly beyond the abilities of most people.


    With that thought, Xu Kailin picked up her phone, took a photo of the model, and decided to take a good look and study it carefully.


    After taking the photo, Xu Kailin zoomed in on the picture on her phone, looked at it closely, and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Such a complex design plan, if it weren¡¯t for Director Qin¡¯s detailed explanation, she might not even understand it, right?!


    Let alone not understanding it, she might even have mistaken it for a messy doodle, since it seemed completely haphazard and scribbled¡­ just like¡­ random talismanic symbols. But then¡­ all of a sudden¡­ Xu Kailin thought she recognized something familiar!


    This realization stunned Xu Kailin!


    Right!


    Such a familiar style, such familiar lines, so familiar¡­


    She felt like she had seen that drawing somewhere before!


    As Xu Kailin was contemplating this, she suddenly saw Chen Cang sitting opposite her, writing and drawing on paper!


    She finally understood where she had seen that design plan before!


    ¡­

 Chapter 242 - Chapter 242: Chapter 243: Can the Line Drawn at Noon Be Erased? (Please Subscribe)

    Chapter 242: Chapter 243: Can the Line Drawn at Noon Be Erased? (Please Subscribe)


    Xu Kailin was suddenly shocked!


    The feeling was like someone had painted a Mona Lisa, yet she insisted it was nothing more than a fart.


    She felt there must be something fishy going on.


    So,


    she looked intently!


    She scrutinized closely!


    She studied carefully!


    She kept looking back and forth!


    But the more she looked, the more she had to admit, it was clearly the flap transplantation plan designed by the calm young man for Dou Xin at noon.


    Xu Kailin¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the young man, realizing he had already devised a complete set of design plans that morning.


    Yet, after being interrupted by her, not only did he say nothing, but he also remained very modest and calm.


    Xu Kailin found it incredible¡ªwhat self-restraint he must have!


    If she put herself in his shoes, if her own hard work was not respected, she definitely couldn¡¯t achieve such a state.


    In contrast, this young man, far from saying anything, was neither arrogant nor impetuous, quietly sitting there, writing and drawing on the paper, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.


    And moreover¡­


    She clearly remembered, right after Director Qin had finished his explanation, he had been the first to lead the applause.


    Could it be that he attached no importance to his reputation?


    What an excellent opportunity to make a name for himself!


    In an environment like the gathering of experts at the Sixth Hospital of Magic City, it was an amazing opportunity that might even change his life trajectory!


    Perhaps that¡¯s what a genius is like!


    They don¡¯t care for these things¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, Qin Xiang suddenly felt a bit inflated with pride. Yes, he felt that being able to design such a plan meant he had been accumulating knowledge and experience until his inspiration burst forth like a bubbling spring¡ªeverything just fell into place!


    With this in mind, Qin Xiang nodded in satisfaction.


    Hmm, could this be what they call a late bloomer?


    Qin Xiang took a deep breath, trying to appear somewhat more profound and dignified.


    At this time, Wang Yushan and several directors from the hospital had also discussed the design issue and unanimously agreed it was a very good, very successful, and very thoughtful ingenious plan.


    But!


    A problem had also been exposed.


    That was a technical issue.


    Generally speaking, the more ingenious the design, the more advanced technical skill is required as a foundation.


    A simple, brute-force design approach is good for medical workers, as it can reduce surgical difficulty, ensure safety, and boost the confidence of medical staff, among other benefits.


    However, a very precise or ingenious design, while beneficial for the patient, can also be a burden for medical workers.


    Such a clever surgical plan will encounter many difficulties, and without sufficient technical skill, it would be hard to perform the surgery well!


    With this in mind, Wang Yushan could not help saying, ¡°Director Qin, this plan is indeed good! Without a doubt, it¡¯s a remarkable plan, but¡­ the surgery is not easy!¡±


    You see, to execute this kind of design, you would need to do well in several aspects, starting with a stable technique for handling the flap to ensure a good fit after transplantation; next, vascular anastomosis preparation, which requires solid skill; and finally, and most importantly, you must possess extremely high suturing skill to ensure the perfect union of multiple flaps.¡±


    After Wang Yushan finished speaking, Director Xiao nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, the most crucial aspect of this surgery is the suturing of the skin, which is even the most core and difficult technique in this operation, as there¡¯s a huge difference between suturing the flaps together and regular skin suturing.¡±


    ¡°Director Qin is the head of Dermatology in Dongyang Province and has made remarkable contributions to the field. Certainly, his expertise in skin suturing must be top-notch. To be honest, I¡¯m now filled with anticipation for this surgery.¡±


    Qin Xiang smiled, feeling vindicated in his foresight for having invited Chen Cang in advance.


    He had personally witnessed Chen Cang¡¯s skills in skin suturing and, my, they were indeed beyond words.


    Now that the other party had said this much, Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help but be modest, ¡°Actually, this concept isn¡¯t solely my achievement. It¡¯s the result of the collective efforts of the experts from City Sixth Hospital. I just took a clever approach!¡±


    ¡°But, we¡¯ve also brought in a doctor specialized in skin suturing. We¡¯ll start the surgery tomorrow!¡±


    Wang Yushan smiled and asked, ¡°Director Qin, we are all quite interested in this surgery, and I have a favor to ask. When the surgery is performed later, could you start a live stream so the doctors in our hospital could also observe and learn?¡±


    Qin Xiang smiled lightly, ¡°No problem at all.¡±


    The remote video consultation concluded successfully. Qin Xiang looked at the many doctors present and said with a beaming smile, ¡°I believe everyone has gained something from today¡¯s remote consultation. After we return today, everyone should write a summary, focusing on the skin flap transplantation. Share your thoughts during the handover meeting on Monday.¡±


    ¡°Also, everyone is to come to the hospital for the surgery tomorrow morning. Everyone, except the doctors on duty, should gather in the operating room to observe this surgery in person.¡±


    After saying this, Qin Xiang was very happy. After so many years, he was finally able to make a name for himself in front of the many specialists at City Sixth Hospital in Modu, and even have them actively request to watch his surgery live. This would have been unthinkable back when he was a part-timer!


    At this thought, Qin Xiang felt deeply moved.


    In the medical industry, strength commands respect. If you have the capability, you can earn the respect of others.


    Today is the proudest day for Old Qin in these past few years.


    After finishing his speech, Qin Xiang looked at Chen Cang with a face full of excitement and thrill, patting Chen Cang on the shoulder, ¡°Xiao Chen, I¡¯m counting on you for tomorrow!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, smiling, ¡°No problem, Director. I¡¯ll come over early.¡±


    Qin Xiang nodded, ¡°Good! Tomorrow, let¡¯s make a stand in front of the people of Modu! What an exhilarating moment this will be!¡±


    ¡°The thought alone is exciting. To have a day when we can perform a live surgery in front of a group of top skin flap transplantation specialists and directors from City Sixth Hospital of Modu seems almost incredible.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Director, you are already amazing!¡±


    Qin Xiang responded with a modest smile.


    After bidding farewell to Chen Cang, Qin Xiang said to the attending physician Xu Kailin, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Xiao Xu, let¡¯s check on Xin Xin and inform her about the surgery tomorrow.¡±


    Xu Kailin looked at Qin Xiang, who was full of spirit, and held back her words. After a second thought, she realized she was making a mountain out of a molehill.


    If that young doctor didn¡¯t say anything, what was there for her to say?


    As a successful subordinate, shouldn¡¯t she compliment the director instead?


    At that moment, what Director Qin needed was a loyal fan who knew how to brownnose and cheer him on with 666!


    Thinking this, Xu Kailin¡¯s face broke into a smile, ¡°Of course, Director.¡±


    ¡°Today, the Director was really impressive. I couldn¡¯t believe such an ingenious skin flap transplantation plan could come from you. To be honest, I was shocked when I first heard it, it¡¯s simply astonishing!¡±


    ¡°The Director really is accumulating knowledge and expertise and growing stronger with age!¡±


    After speaking, Xu Kailin gave Qin Xiang a thumbs-up!


    She not only flattered him but did it with finesse¡ªit was right on the mark!


    Pleased by her words, Qin Xiang chatted as they reached the ward.


    Looking at Dou father and daughter, Qin Xiang comforted them, ¡°Xin Xin¡¯s surgery has been scheduled for tomorrow. We¡¯ve designed a very good plan for it, and our strategy has even been approved by the expert panel at City Sixth Hospital of Modu. Tomorrow¡¯s surgery will be live-streamed with their experts.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Dou Qiangguo immediately expressed his gratitude, ¡°Director Qin, you¡¯ve really gone out of your way to help us! I don¡¯t know how to repay you.¡±


    Qin Xiang waved his hand dismissively, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s our duty. To be honest, I¡¯m quite happy to help Xin Xin; she¡¯s such a lovely girl.¡±


    Dou Qiangguo then asked, ¡°About those lines drawn at noon¡­ Can they be wiped off?¡±


    Qin Xiang stared blankly, ¡°What lines?¡±


    At that moment, Xin Xin turned her head toward them.


    Qin Xiang suddenly fell silent¡­

 Chapter 243 - Chapter 243: Chapter 244: You Take the Lead (Please Subscribe!)

    Chapter 243: Chapter 244: You Take the Lead (Please Subscribe!)


    Qin Xiang looked at the marks drawn on Dou Xin¡¯s face with a marker, the entire contour¡­ and suddenly felt it was very familiar!


    Huh?


    Wasn¡¯t this the surgical design plan he had just thought of?


    When did it get drawn on Xin Xin¡¯s face!


    Suddenly, Qin Xiang was stunned!


    Wasn¡¯t this what Chen Cang had drawn on Dou Xin in the morning?


    It was very similar to his own¡­ too¡­ too¡­


    Qin Xiang was dumbfounded!


    What the hell¡­


    No wonder he had felt that a stroke of genius had flashed through his mind and it all came together without even having to think!


    It turned out to be this!


    Reflecting on this, Qin Xiang felt extremely complicated at this very moment, his face flushing red and then turning pale, his anxiety palpable!


    Was this considered plagiarism?


    It couldn¡¯t be, right, how could the affairs of a learned man be called plagiarism?


    But if it wasn¡¯t, evidence was drawn on someone else¡¯s face, and Xu Kailin was standing right there with her big eyes blinking rapidly, knowing that she had provided the marker, which made Qin Xiang very uneasy.


    Dou Qiangguo looked at Qin Xiang in a daze and carefully asked, ¡°Director Qin, this¡­ are you scared to wipe it off?¡±


    Qin Xiang gave a faint smile, ¡°Wipe it off, clean it well, we still have to draw the lines tomorrow, remember to wash it well, we have surgery tomorrow.¡±


    After giving these instructions, Qin Xiang put his hands behind his back and walked outside. Now that the evidence was gone, it should be considered his original work, right?


    But¡­ the most critical factor was still Chen Cang!


    That guy, sigh¡­ how come he¡¯s so outstanding?


    At this thought, Qin Xiang was slightly startled and suddenly remembered another matter.


    If Chen Cang could come up with such a design, that meant he must be very knowledgeable about skin flap transplants, perhaps even more so than himself!


    That realization shocked Qin Xiang.


    How old was he?


    The story¡¯s little protagonist had been drifting ever since the year he was born.


    And Chen Cang from the emergency department had been showing off with that memory up until now.


    Recalling every interaction he had had with Chen Cang, it seemed they all ended with Chen Cang successfully showing off and bringing things to a perfect close.


    Thinking of this, Qin Xiang actually started to doubt.


    Was Chen Cang too brilliant?


    Or was he too mediocre!


    How old was he, 27, right?


    And he had learned skin flap transplantation?


    Moreover, he could design something so exquisite and breathtaking.


    Qin Xiang thought hard and suddenly had an epiphany, right! Such a complex and challenging design in terms of skin suture, wasn¡¯t it made to measure for himself by Chen Cang?


    Even if someone else got the design plan, could they really do it well?


    Maybe not!


    With that in mind, Qin Xiang suddenly felt that no wonder Chen Cang was so confident and unbothered by this plan; because others, once they got the design, wouldn¡¯t dare to attempt it, or if they tried, they simply couldn¡¯t pull it off. At best, they would be awkward imitators, not quite right.


    Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, truly a formidable young man.


    What if¡­ he let him be the lead surgeon for tomorrow¡¯s operation?


    With that thought, Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help but have the intention to mentor.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day, Chen Cang ran early to East University Hospital No.1. The distance being less than 3km, it was just the right length for his morning exercise.


    As soon as he arrived at the dermatology department, he saw that Qin Xiang was already there, and Chen Cang greeted him with a smile.


    ¡°Director Qin, you¡¯re here so early!¡±


    Qin Xiang had not slept well all night, thinking about how he had lived a life of integrity, had significant academic achievements, and was universally esteemed for his character; he couldn¡¯t let this incident tarnish his reputation!


    Qin Xiang tossed and turned all night, unable to find sleep.


    Qin Xiang¡¯s wife was so annoyed!


    ¡°Old Qin, what are you doing? Tossing and turning all night.¡±


    Qin Xiang thought for a moment, patted his wife on the shoulder, and asked, ¡°Wife, let me ask you something.¡±


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°Let me give you an example, there once was a doctor, in his department there was a junior doctor¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­ Zzzz zzzz¡­¡±


    Before he could finish, he found his wife had already fallen asleep. Qin Xiang, with a helpless face, sighed¡­ sons do not take after their fathers!


    He didn¡¯t sleep well all night, so naturally, he arrived at the hospital early the next day.


    Qin Xiang nodded, ¡°Chen Cang, you¡¯re quite early too!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Just a habit.¡±


    Qin Xiang glanced at Chen Cang, and with no one around, he said with a smile, ¡°Chen, about yesterday¡¯s design proposal¡­¡±


    Chen Cang responded, ¡°It¡¯s quite good, Director Qin. Your thought process is very similar to mine. I believe we see eye to eye on this surgery! Moreover, I think you¡¯ve considered more details thoroughly than I did. Yesterday¡¯s consultation at Shanghai Sixth Hospital gave me much to think about. I had planned to make some revisions, but you had already taken care of everything!¡±


    ¡°So, Director Qin, your grasp on the patient¡¯s condition and your approach to the skin flap transplant are very clear!¡±


    Qin Xiang was stunned!


    This¡­ seemed¡­ to actually make sense.


    So this isn¡¯t called plagiarism, it¡¯s called innovation?!


    Xu Kailin, standing to the side, was also dumbfounded.


    Invisible flattery, most lethal!


    Seeing Qin Xiang¡¯s happy face, she noted how delighted he was¡­


    Xu Kailin suddenly realized how difficult the workplace could be.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the operating room, everything was ready to go. All available doctors from dermatology were there to take part in the surgery.


    The remote video sharing was also set up.


    All of a sudden, Qin Xiang asked Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, how good are you with skin flap transplant surgeries?¡±


    Chen Cang told the truth, ¡°Fairly good.¡±


    Qin Xiang nodded slightly. He wanted to give Chen Cang a chance.


    A case with such technical expertise was perfectly suitable to be used as a teaching case.


    If Chen Cang could have such a good surgical case, he might have more say when joining the Zhejiang Society of Plastic Surgery and the Dermatology Society. Perhaps he might even get a position ahead of time.


    Bearing this in mind, Qin Xiang firmly said, ¡°Then today, you take the lead.¡±


    One sentence left everyone around speechless!


    This¡­


    Is this appropriate?


    Thinking this, the surrounding doctors couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Director¡­ is this really appropriate?¡±


    ¡°Right, today¡¯s surgery is very important. Even Shanghai Sixth Hospital is watching! Director, you can¡¯t be this hasty.¡±


    Even Cheng Yueze, today¡¯s first assistant and deputy director, couldn¡¯t help but steal a glance at Qin Xiang, hesitated for a while, and remained silent. As a deputy director, he must act the part.


    ¡­


    Looking at everyone, Xu Kailin smiled faintly. How could you mere mortals understand the director¡¯s mind?


    Xu Kailin even guessed that Chen Cang¡¯s skills might even be stronger than the director¡¯s!


    This morning, Xu Kailin felt she had mastered the essence of flattery. After all, the director couldn¡¯t be the assistant to Chen Cang, right?


    Thinking this, Xu Kailin said with a smile, ¡°Shall I assist Doctor Chen?¡±


    Qin Xiang shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    Xu Kailin was immediately taken aback. Did I¡­ flatter the wrong person again?


    Sigh¡­ Xu Kailin couldn¡¯t help but heave a sigh. The workplace is so tough!


    Little did she know that ever since Qin Xiang acted as Chen Cang¡¯s assistant at Zheng Guotan¡¯s place, he seemed to have developed an addiction to being Chen Cang¡¯s assistant!


    emmmm¡­


    ps: Three updates for tonight, more tomorrow.

 Chapter 244 - Chapter 244: Chapter 245: What is He Up To! (Added for 5000 monthly tickets.)

    Chapter 244: Chapter 245: What is He Up To! (Added for 5000 monthly tickets.)


    After all the preparations were in place, the surgery was ready to begin!


    The cameras also started recording, remote video sharing was activated, and everyone was prepared for the surgery.


    At this moment, Qin Xiang was already standing at the first assistant¡¯s position, looking at Chen Cang, waiting for the surgery to start.


    The surgery was quite complex because it involved a large number of skin flaps, and how to skillfully design them became the most critical issue.


    Skin is divided into the epidermis and dermis, while the skin flap also requires subcutaneous tissue.


    Everyone knows the epidermis.


    And the dermis can be said to be the core area of the skin, where a thin layer contains microvessels, muscles, sebaceous glands, nerve endings, sweat glands, and so on, constituting the functional areas of the skin.


    Subcutaneous tissue mainly comprises subcutaneous fat, connective tissue, and large blood vessels.


    The surgery required separating the skin flap and then using various ingenious methods to transplant it to another place.


    This is what is known as skin flap transplantation surgery!


    Chen Cang started according to the area he had already marked in advance.


    Inside the Sixth Hospital of Modu City, everyone had already gathered together, taking great interest in this case, because the skin flap transplantation design plan proposed by Qin Xiang was not merely a plan but was a concept and a thought process. It even had enlightening effects for future surgeries.


    For this reason, within the Sixth Hospital, Wang Yushan and Director Xiao called all the doctors from their department to seriously study this surgery.


    However, once the surgery started, they suddenly realized that the chief surgeon was not Qin Xiang! It was a young doctor under thirty years of age!


    Is this a joke?


    Director Xiao also frowned slightly, ¡°So many people in our Sixth Hospital are watching and learning earnestly, yet you, Director Qin, let such a young fellow take the lead. Isn¡¯t this showing a lack of respect?¡±


    Mentoring newcomers is not done this way, is it?!


    There was a stir of discussion among the people around.


    Wang Yushan cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, ¡°Everyone, quiet down. Look carefully, listen carefully, learn carefully, and don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn¡¯t help but sigh and fell silent.


    The process of separating the skin flap was simple, consisting of sharp dissection on the surface of the fascia bit by bit, but while Chen Cang was operating, he preserved the paratenon and retained the necessary capillary network.


    The design of the incisions for facial surgery directly affects the aesthetic results of healing and is a key element that reflects the artistic aspect of surgery.


    Chen Cang¡¯s choice of incisions was almost to the point of exacting!


    Even Qin Xiang, who stood beside him, couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback.


    He was well versed in skin flap transplantation and plastic surgery. Precisely because of this, the more he watched, the more shocked he became.


    This young Chen¡­ truly impressive!


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, a group of people in the Sixth Hospital of Modu City, while watching the surgery, couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit contemptuous.


    After all, they were the elite in this field, watching a young man perform surgery.


    It felt like a novice trying to teach a master.


    ¡°This¡­ in the cheek area, it¡¯s completely possible to omit some skin flaps, why does he extend it so much? Ah¡­¡± one doctor couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°And there, the state of the relaxed skin, seems a bit problematic¡­¡±


    Many shook their heads.


    Seeing the arrogant attitudes of the young doctors around him, Wang Yushan became angry.


    They prejudged based on their initial impressions that the young doctor was too inexperienced, overlooking many issues! Why would Qin Xiang dare let Chen Cang take the lead on such an operation? Was he unaware of the importance of this surgery?


    Wang Yushan realized at that moment why Qin Xiang had done this!


    Because the young man¡¯s strength was simply beyond words!


    Watching the young doctors around him, Wang Yushan said in a deep voice, ¡°Do you know why this is? Because it¡¯s a facial flap transplantation.¡±


    ¡°Notice his incision, every step of his incision tries to stay within the same skin aesthetic unit! This is an almost demanding requirement!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, regarding the choice of incision, ha, have you not noticed?, the incision must be designed along the relaxed skin tension lines, which is an important principle for facial surgery incisions!¡±


    ¡°And! When he chooses the direction of the incision, it nearly aligns perfectly with the deep skin furrows! Such a steady hand, such a clever design!¡±


    At this point, Wang Yushan couldn¡¯t help but become emotional!


    This young man, leaving everything else aside, the way he grasps every single detail of the facial skin can be said to be classic!¡±


    After Wang Yushan spoke, everyone was stunned!


    Even Director Xiao had a solemn face, seriously observing Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, somewhat dumbfounded.


    Had Wang Yushan not mentioned it, they would have been unaware, but his words suddenly left some completely astonished!


    It really was so.


    This young doctor¡¯s grasp on detail, his control over the subtle maneuvers, truly reached a master level.


    And the young doctors around fell silent for a while.


    Watching Wang Yushan and Director Xiao, as well as the attending chief physicians all watching the surgery video with solemn and serious expressions, they couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    At that moment, everyone put aside any underestimation and started watching the surgery with earnest!


    Meanwhile, Wang Yushan began to ponder, who was this young man?


    So young, yet so talented¡­ Every move he made seemed to have the touch of a master!


    Chen Cang was extremely cautious, afraid of damaging the facial nerves and blood vessels, trying his best to repair everything that was repairable.


    This kind of facial flap transplantation plus cosmetic surgery was very challenging.


    He had to consider not only the structure of the face but also take care of the blood vessels, nerves¡­


    Every step had to be carefully considered.


    The more intricate the surgery, the more cautious and meticulous Chen Cang became.


    Design and surgery are always two entirely different operations.


    Armchair strategies always seem easy.


    But in reality, once you start, each step becomes exceedingly difficult!


    ¡°Hold the flap for me, be careful with the vessels,¡± Chen Cang instructed Qin Xiang.


    Qin Xiang nodded; at this moment, everyone in the operating room held their breath.


    After Chen Cang was prepared, ¡°Lay it down, slowly.¡±


    After each step of the flap transplantation, an optimal position was needed, and then the suturing would begin.


    At that moment, everyone around started paying attention, thinking that Chen Cang was about to begin suturing!


    But he didn¡¯t!


    After the flap transplantation, Chen Cang didn¡¯t immediately suture after moving it to a new location?


    What was he doing?


    At this thought, Wang Yushan couldn¡¯t help himself and stood up from his seat, fixating his eyes on the screen, startling the several doctors around him.


    Wang Yushan was already imposing, so these doctors were somewhat intimidated by him!


    Seeing the dean¡¯s actions, everyone instinctively quieted down.


    Meanwhile, Qin Xiang was also looking at Chen Cang with a surprised face, why wasn¡¯t he suturing?

 Chapter 246 - Chapter 246: Chapter 247: Actually, I plagiarized the design proposal

    Chapter 246: Chapter 247: Actually, I plagiarized the design proposal


    Wang Yushan really wanted to meet that young doctor at this moment. Not to mention anything else, just the suturing skill alone was definitely a sign of natural talent!


    In other words, no matter how hard you try, you can¡¯t learn this skill afterward.


    He led the entire surgery, full of high energy!


    Thinking of this, Wang Yushan said to everyone, ¡°Speaking of which, has the surgical video been saved?¡±


    Everyone was taken aback!


    An employee hesitated for a moment, ¡°Well¡­ Director Wang, we only save the live broadcast videos if we set it up beforehand, and it seems we didn¡¯t plan to record this surgery.¡±


    Hearing this, Wang Yushan was immediately dumbfounded, ¡°Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and save whatever can be saved!¡±


    The employees quickly got up and began to prepare!


    After thinking it over, Wang Yushan believed the video was of a high standard. It was not only a successful case in the field of flap transplantation but also a classic operation in the discipline of skin plastic surgery, highly valuable for research. Pondering this, Wang Yushan decided to get in touch with Qin Xiang to see if he could get the original video.


    Meanwhile, in the operating room, Qin Xiang watched Chen Cang¡¯s surgery with great reflection and even a sense of relief, grateful to have called Chen Cang in.


    Could he have done it himself?


    Yes, he could!


    But there would definitely be some gap compared to Chen Cang.


    Truly, a young man with great potential and a bright future.


    Xu Kailin could be said to be the first to see Dou Xin¡¯s face after the surgery was completed. When she saw the earnestly sutured stitches, the faint traces, and the barely visible scars, she couldn¡¯t help but exclaim!


    Medicine is truly a miraculous discipline; it can indeed change a person¡¯s future!


    The fate of Dou Xin might be rewritten from today onward.


    She could smile as radiantly as ordinary people, jump happily, pursue her dreams, and go after the boys she liked.


    Thinking of this, Xu Kailin looked at Chen Cang with eyes full of admiration, respect, gratitude, and a complex mix of emotions.


    At this moment, Chen Cang came over, looked at the post-surgery appearance, checked it, then took off his gloves and took several sets of photos; he planned to reflect carefully on how he could improve in the future.


    Surgery is not like a math problem with only right and wrong.


    The upper limit for surgery is very high, and it can continuously be elevated. Even with a successful surgery, you always need to continuously find and discover inadequacies, to keep improving.


    The doctors who had been observing the surgery were silent, watching the surgery record on the big screen, not really knowing what to say; they all just looked at Chen Cang with great respect.


    Sometimes, power is the best language!


    [Ding! Mission completed, ¡°Saving a Self-conscious Soul¡± accomplished, successful completion of flap transplantation + facial plastic surgery, rewards: 1. Advanced Skin Graft Technique; 2. Qin Xiang¡¯s favorability +20. 3. Dou Xin¡¯s favorability +50.]


    Skin grafting and flap transplantation differ, but the underlying principles remain the same.


    Skin grafting involves directly cutting the epidermis and part or all of the dermis from one part of the body, unlike flap transplantation that still carries a pedicle, and then transplants it to another area with skin defects.


    In skin grafting, the blood circulation of the graft automatically stops after being cut, and the survival post-transplant depends entirely on re-establishing blood circulation between the recipient site base and the transplanted skin, so this technique is also called free skin grafting in clinical practice.


    This involves an additional serum absorption period and vascular reconstruction period, but the main core principles don¡¯t differ greatly!


    Overall, it¡¯s also an excellent skill!


    And Qin Xiang¡¯s favorability jumped by 20 right away.


    Dou Xin¡¯s favorability even reached 50.


    Having thought of this, Chen Cang smiled.


    [Ding! ¡°Physician¡¯s Benevolent Heart¡± task assessment, your selfless provision of free surgical treatment for patient Dou Xin demonstrates valuable medical ethics and spirit, earning you +3 skill points.]


    [Ding! Successfully defeated a level 51 scar boss monster, gaining +1 level, flap transplantation experience +300; received equipment: Beauty Needle (blue). Energy Potion x5.]


    Chen Cang paused for a moment when he saw the Beauty Needle, wondering what it meant.


    [Beauty Needle: Blue equipment, attributes: 1. Skin Damage -2; 2. Scar -2;]


    Chen Cang squinted his eyes, clearly impressed, ¡°Wow, now that is powerful!¡±


    It was actually decreasing!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help laughing.


    In fact, during the suturing process, the needles could easily cause skin damage and the formation of secondary scars, after all, no matter how you look at it, a needle passing through the skin is a form of injury.


    [Energy Potion: After taking it, automatically restores fifty percent of energy (physical strength, stamina¡­)].


    Chen Cang was startled, this was good!


    Absolutely good!


    It was just uncertain whether it could be mass-produced, it¡¯s a blessing for women, the pride of men, the luck of patients, and a treasure for doctors!


    Ever since he started matching wits with high-level monsters, Chen Cang found that his level began to soar rapidly, and now he had reached level 27.


    He wondered if there would be any thresholds to reach upon arriving at level 30 or 40.


    The surgery ended successfully, and Chen Cang reaped a rich harvest!


    Qin Xiang was filled with emotion.


    At this time, Qin Xiang¡¯s phone rang.


    ¡°Hello, how are you?¡±


    Wang Yushan said straightforwardly, ¡°Director Qin, I¡¯m Wang Yushan. Is it convenient to start a video conference now? We would like to talk with the doctor who performed the surgery. To be honest, the surgery gave us quite the shock. Do you think it¡¯s possible?¡±


    Qin Xiang turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, Director Wang from the Sixth Hospital of Modu wants to talk to you about the surgery you performed¡­ Do you have time?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up, and he thought such good news couldn¡¯t come at a better time, ¡°Yes, Director Qin, just arrange it.¡±


    Qin Xiang hurriedly said, ¡°Director Wang, the remote meeting will start in half an hour.¡±


    Wang Yushan nodded, ¡°Mm.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When they heard this news, the doctors all showed their joy.


    Truth be told, compared to Chen Cang, the doctors of the Dermatology Department at Dongda First Hospital were even more looking forward to this meeting because they were full of questions, unsure who would explain them.


    Now it was great, the Sixth Hospital of Modu had come in person to explain. Such an opportunity was rare indeed!


    As they left the operating room, everyone stood aside and refused to leave, insisting on waiting for Chen Cang to exit first.


    Which made Chen Cang feel somewhat embarrassed.


    They hurried back to the office, and the remote meeting officially started.


    Wang Yushan cleared his throat and said loudly, ¡°It¡¯s a great honor today to witness such a surgery, to see with my own eyes Director Qin¡¯s ingenious and exquisite plan perfectly realized. It truly is a fortunate occasion!¡±


    ¡°On behalf of the Orthopedic Surgery Department of the Sixth Hospital of Modu, I would like to thank the doctors of the Dermatology Department at Dongda First Hospital for their enthusiastic sharing.¡±


    Hearing Wang Yushan¡¯s high praise of himself, and looking at the room full of doctors, Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help feeling proud. How often could one have such an opportunity?


    At this thought, Qin Xiang shook his head involuntarily. If he really were that incredible, what a proud thing it would be!


    But he knew that the honor wasn¡¯t his. Thinking of this, Qin Xiang looked around at everyone and sincerely said, ¡°Here, I must apologize to everyone, and especially to Chen. Those who participated in the surgery might have felt that the procedure was tailored made for the surgeon, from the design of the operation, to the choice of incision, to the flap transplantation, and finally the exquisite suturing, indispensable in every aspect!¡±


    The crowd nodded slightly.


    Wang Yushan also had this feeling; he thought that without ample ability, such a surgery would simply be impossible to complete, as if the operation¡¯s design was specifically tailored for that young doctor performing it.


    Director Xiao and several doctors also nodded thoughtfully.


    Qin Xiang continued, ¡°Actually the reason is very simple, and that is because the designer and the surgeon of this operation are the same person, it was indeed Chen Cang, Dr. Chen personally designed and performed the surgery!¡±


    At this, a wave of surprise swept through the room!


    Everyone was shocked, staring agape at Qin Xiang.

 Chapter 247 - Chapter 247: Chapter 248: Wang Yushans Friend Request

    Chapter 247: Chapter 248: Wang Yushan¡¯s Friend Request


    Wang Yushan was also stunned, because everyone had witnessed Qin Xiang designing this skin flap design with their own eyes.


    But what exactly did Qin Xiang¡¯s words mean?


    Even the doctors in the office of the First Hospital of Dongda were looking at the director with a face full of surprise. What was up with the director?


    Qin Xiang gave a slight smile, unconcerned about everyone¡¯s gaze. From beginning to end, he never intended to take advantage of Chen Cang¡¯s ideas and concepts, because for him, these things really didn¡¯t matter much.


    What¡¯s the use of being praised?


    He, Qin Xiang, the vice-chairman of the Dongyang Province Society for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, was beyond caring for such trifles.


    He had enough accolades!


    Besides, when the time truly comes for you to deliver, and you can¡¯t come up with a good plan, wouldn¡¯t that be like slapping your own face?


    As the saying goes, one lie needs a hundred lies to cover it up.


    At that time, Qin Xiang really hadn¡¯t thought about stealing Chen Cang¡¯s plan. He just felt that an idea had naturally emerged in his mind, and that¡¯s where the concept came from.


    Thinking of this, Qin Xiang spoke lightly, ¡°Actually, before the surgery, I invited Doctor Chen to our hospital, hoping he could assist me in operating on the patient Dou Xin. Doctor Chen has a terrifying talent in the field of skin plastic surgery, and he is extremely skilled in the area of cosmetic skin suturing as well.¡±


    ¡°For this surgery, the patient Dou Xin is under the care of our department. We have tried our best to reduce the cost as much as possible, and Doctor Chen¡¯s involvement in assisting with the surgery didn¡¯t involve any money. Under such circumstances, Doctor Chen resolutely joined our surgery team.¡±


    ¡°And yesterday afternoon, after Doctor Chen arrived at our department, I took him to see the patient. Then, he looked at Dou Xin¡¯s condition and started to sketch on the paper. Honestly, I didn¡¯t pay much attention at the time. I thought Doctor Chen was researching according to the principles of facial plastic surgery¡­¡±


    Qin Xiang shared everything exactly as it happened, without exaggeration or embellishment, simply narrating the events.


    ¡°So, the fact that I could come up with such a plan on the spot is frankly quite embarrassing. It¡¯s truly all thanks to Doctor Chen¡¯s contribution!¡±


    At this point, Qin Xiang¡¯s eyes, looking at Chen Cang, were full of appreciation!


    ¡°It¡¯s fair to say that this surgery, from beginning to end, was planned, designed, operated, and sutured all by Doctor Chen. It was systematic and flawless!¡±


    ¡°And only Doctor Chen could have executed this design to its utmost best.¡±


    Qin Xiang¡¯s words silenced everyone present.


    All eyes were on Chen Cang, a young man with handsome looks, a modest smile always playing on his lips.


    Wang Yushan believed it, not for any other reason but because of Chen Cang¡¯s mastery of the design. During the entire surgery, Chen Cang and Qin Xiang barely communicated, and Chen Cang¡¯s spirited operation, confident stitching, and the spontaneously modified details told him that this young man was extraordinary.


    What Wang Yushan didn¡¯t expect was that the scheme had been designed without the discussion of everyone present. It was enough to show his talent and strength in skin flap transplantation had reached a certain level.


    Qin Xiang smiled faintly and took the initiative to start applauding. ¡°Come, let¡¯s give a round of applause and invite Doctor Chen to share today¡¯s surgery with us.¡±


    Chen Cang wasn¡¯t stage-frightened. If Qin Xiang hadn¡¯t acknowledged it, he wouldn¡¯t have said another word, but if he needed to step forward, Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t shy away.


    Confidently standing up, Chen Cang introduced himself and went straight to the point, beginning his explanation of today¡¯s surgery.


    From the selection of the skin flap to its design, Chen Cang explained everything clearly and thoroughly. He addressed every small detail, from human anatomy to facial plastic surgery, from skin flap transplantation to wound healing.


    Just the design alone took Chen Cang half an hour to explain, and everyone listened for half an hour.


    During that time, the people weren¡¯t just listening; they were discussing, expressing their own viewpoints. They voiced their doubts and considerations, and Chen Cang was there to explain.


    Especially Wang Yushan, whether out of caution or for some other reason, asked many questions unrelated to the current surgery, but Chen Cang always managed to give a satisfactory response.


    As time ticked away, when the final stage of the surgery was explained, the audience erupted into warm applause once again.


    Because many doubts were cleared up through Chen Cang¡¯s explanations, and he didn¡¯t hold back. Instead, he openly gave everyone many suggestions and ideas, even broadening the prospects for skin flap transplantation in the future.


    Chen Cang¡¯s flap transplantation was truly masterful, so much so that even Wang Yushan, who was very knowledgeable in this field, couldn¡¯t help but give a thumbs up and admit his admiration!


    At this moment, no one doubted Chen Cang anymore. Even the many chief specialists and doctors from the Sixth Hospital of Modu City were inwardly nodding in approval.


    Chen Cang bowed slightly and politely sat down.


    At this time, Wang Yushan suddenly said, ¡°Dr. Chen, could I have your contact information? Our Sixth Hospital often encounters some difficult cases, so perhaps we can exchange ideas and cooperate.¡±


    Chen Cang naturally nodded and proactively shared his phone number and WeChat.


    Wang Yushan smiled, ¡°We¡¯ll meet again.¡±


    After the video conference ended, Chen Cang didn¡¯t stay long; after all, the meals at Dongda First Hospital were not worth lingering over¡­ He stood up to say goodbye to everyone and then left.


    Busy with one thing and another, it was nearly twelve o¡¯clock when Chen Cang finally remembered that he had a job fair to attend in the afternoon.


    He made do with a meal at a small restaurant downstairs and then went home to get a good sleep.


    Lying in bed, Chen Cang suddenly heard a string of notification sounds from his phone and discovered that there were twenty or thirty friend requests on WeChat¡­ He looked at the notes, and they were very uniform:


    ¡°Dongda First Hospital Dermatology Xu Kailin¡±


    ¡°Dongda First Hospital xxx¡±


    ¡°Modu City Sixth Hospital Department of Hand Surgery xxx¡±


    ¡­


    The stream of notifications made Chen Cang smile as he chose to accept them one by one.


    Performing surgery was indeed exhausting, especially such high-precision ones, and it took Chen Cang no more than a few minutes to fall asleep there.


    When he awoke, it was already three o¡¯clock. Chen Cang felt refreshed, quickly got ready, and headed straight for the job fair in a taxi.


    The job fair itself was held in the gymnasium of Dongyang Medical University, with hundreds of recruiting enterprises from Dongyang Province in attendance.


    Dongyang Medical University could also be considered as the flagship among Dongyang Province¡¯s medical colleges, with a large number of graduates each year. Similar job fairs had been held this year for the second or third time.


    Chen Cang guessed that holding a job fair at this time in September must have had its purpose from the school¡¯s perspective!


    After all, it was precisely when the new students had just started school!


    He wanted to tell those naive freshmen, ¡°See? So many hospitals and pharmaceutical companies come to our school to recruit. Are you still worried about not finding a job?¡±


    Hmm¡­


    That¡¯s what Chen Cang thought when he first entered the university, until after his graduation, when resume after resume sank without trace did he understand.


    Recruitment is one thing, but employment¡­ is another matter entirely.


    These are two different issues!


    Indeed, becoming a doctor doesn¡¯t make it that hard to find a job, but if you have high aspirations, heaven will let you know what it means to be ¡®life is as fragile as paper¡¯.


    Mainly, finding a satisfying job is still quite challenging.


    Generally speaking, Chen Cang believed that Ph.D. students could match up with provincial-level top-three hospitals, master¡¯s students had it easier finding jobs in municipal hospitals, and undergraduates were still quite popular in counties.


    But if you wanted to skip a few levels, that might require more effort.

    Chapter 248: Chapter 249: Job Fair


    ¡°`


    This was Chen Cang¡¯s first time entering a job fair as a recruiter.


    The feeling was still somewhat surreal.


    The venue was still crowded with people, not only graduates looking for jobs, but also some parents who came on behalf of their children to apply or to inquire about the situation.


    The two representatives from the Second Provincial Hospital who came for the recruitment were both young women. The head of the personnel department had also arrived in the morning, but she didn¡¯t stay long¡ªafter all, the main purpose of the job fair was to collect resumes.


    Leadership roles were merely symbolic here, and as for high-end talents, they wouldn¡¯t even consider a small-scale job fair like this one.


    Regardless, the Second Provincial Hospital was still a provincial-level, Grade III-A hospital renowned for its departments such as oncology, neurology, nephrology, cardiology, hepatology, and infectious diseases¡ªall of which were national key specialties.


    Many came to submit their resumes.


    The two from the personnel department weren¡¯t old either, both in their thirties. Seeing Chen Cang, a young and spirited guy, they were energized¡ªafter all, a mix of men and women in a team could make work more passionate.


    In less than ten minutes, Chen Cang was already calling them ¡°Sister Zhao¡± and ¡°Sister Cui¡± like they were close friends.


    In fact, both of them had heard about Chen Cang¡ªhow could they not have just a few days after the Song Qiang incident? Everyone knew it was because of Chen Cang that Song Qiang had been brought down.


    The administrative departments of the hospital were only busy a few times a year; other times, they could literally be bored into causing mischief¡ªusually gossiping.


    So they were most knowledgeable about Song Qiang¡¯s downfall and were somewhat puzzled by Chen Cang.


    In just over a month, Chen Cang had accomplished quite a bit: he had transferred to a new position, started postgraduate studies while working, and brought down Song Qiang. Such impressive achievements made it difficult for him not to become famous.


    From time to time, people came over to ask questions, but the job posting made clear what was needed¡ªif suitable, they just left their contact information.


    Chen Cang originally thought it would be an exciting and heartfelt job, but it turned out to be just a chat with two sisters.


    But that was fine, too, as it helped him build a good relationship with the personnel department staff, which could be very convenient for many things.


    It was like enhancing his positive reputation!


    Chen Cang managed to charm both women with his youthful looks, sensual lips, and flowing eloquence, gaining their favor to a score of seven or eight.


    Flattering them any more would be pointless.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Dong Jia led Luo Zhou to the entrance of the gymnasium. ¡°Let¡¯s go, have another look. Maybe there¡¯s a new hospital?¡±


    Luo Zhou wasn¡¯t in the best of spirits. He had handed out all the resumes he could, but the lukewarm response from the recruiters left him feeling quite discouraged. There weren¡¯t many positions open in general surgery this year, and only a handful of hospitals could be applied to.


    Luo Zhou sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve gone around several times this morning. I¡¯ve applied to all the places I could! There¡¯s a city nearby that seems okay, though. It¡¯s a contract position, but it¡¯s not bad, and the pay is quite good too.¡±


    Dong Jia looked at Luo Zhou, ¡°I still want you to stay in An Yang.¡±


    That single sentence made Luo Zhou feel a pang of sadness.


    But¡­ getting into the provincial capital was not that simple, was it?


    However, seeing Dong Jia¡¯s hopeful eyes, Luo Zhou smiled, pinched her cheek, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and see.¡±


    For a man, who doesn¡¯t want to fulfill his girlfriend¡¯s wishes!


    Even against great odds, one wants to do their utmost.


    It was true that there were some new participants in the afternoon, but they weren¡¯t really enticing. While both were busy handing out resumes and writing down contact information, Dong Jia suddenly spotted Chen Cang!


    ¡°Luo Zhou, look quick, isn¡¯t that Chen Cang?¡± Dong Jia said with a curious face, tugging at Luo Zhou¡¯s clothes and pointing in the direction of the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Luo Zhou turned to look and indeed saw Chen Cang sitting there.


    His curiosity piqued. ¡°Isn¡¯t Chen Cang supposed to have just started his postgraduate studies this year? What¡¯s he doing here?¡±


    Dong Jia shook her head, ¡°Maybe he¡¯s here to scope things out in advance. Let¡¯s go over there and say hi.¡±


    As they spoke, the two made their way to the Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s booth.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Chen Cang! I knew it was you. What are you doing here?¡± Luo Zhou asked with a smile.


    Seeing Luo Zhou, Chen Cang also broke into laughter and handed over the brochure for Provincial Hospital No. 2: ¡°I¡¯m here for the job recruitment. Take a seat, classmate, and learn more about Provincial Hospital No. 2.¡±


    Luo Zhou scoffed, ¡°Scoff! You, just call me senior brother honestly. By the way¡­ are you here for a job too?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head. He suddenly remembered that Luo Zhou was probably in general surgery, so he said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Luo Zhou, you¡¯re in general surgery, aren¡¯t you? Provincial Hospital No. 2¡¯s emergency department is recruiting a grad student in general surgery. Don¡¯t you want to sign up?¡±


    Luo Zhou smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve already registered, but¡­ I reckon they¡¯re only hiring one person, and so many have signed up!¡±


    Chen Cang hummed in agreement, ¡°Prepare well then. The emergency surgery department at Provincial Hospital No. 2 is quite good, with a great working atmosphere. I think it¡¯s worth putting up a good fight for, and if you can get in, it¡¯s really nice.¡±


    Luo Zhou was dumbfounded by Chen Cang¡¯s earnest words, ¡°Come on¡­ Cang Er! You¡¯re not actually from Provincial Hospital No. 2, are you?¡±


    Human Resources Sister Zhao from the side laughed, ¡°Is there any doubt? Little Chen is indeed in the emergency department. If you get in, you¡¯ll be colleagues.¡±


    These words left Luo Zhou and Dong Jia dumbfounded.


    ¡°I knew you were at Provincial Hospital No. 2, but¡­ you¡¯re studying for your master¡¯s now, right? I thought you had resigned¡­¡± Luo Zhou said.


    Sister Zhao laughed, ¡°Little Chen is a staff member with tenure. How could he resign for a graduate degree? Besides, the hospital itself sent Little Chen to further his education while on the job¡ªit¡¯s considered in-service training.¡±


    The hospital had marketed Chen Cang¡¯s master¡¯s studies as in-service education, but in reality, it still held the value of full-time study.


    It was simply because doing so made it easier for the hospital to explain, and for the HR department to communicate externally; otherwise, it would be more troublesome.


    ¡°Tenure?¡± Luo Zhou and Dong Jia exchanged glances, finding it hard to believe. When did Chen Cang secure a tenured position at Provincial Hospital No. 2? Wasn¡¯t he an undergraduate?


    But could the HR staff be lying?


    Suddenly, Luo Zhou realized that he didn¡¯t really know Chen Cang anymore.


    Three years after graduation, Luo Zhou had thought that Chen Cang had worked for a while and then left to start grad school. Little did he know, Chen Cang had already solved his tenure issue, and now the hospital had sent him to enhance his qualifications for future promotion¡ªit was essentially gilding the lily!


    At this, Luo Zhou couldn¡¯t help but feel a pang of emotion and envy!


    He knew Chen Cang¡¯s situation well: in college, he had applied for grants and loans, his family was from the countryside, and he was always hardworking and ambitious in his studies.


    Yet this undergraduate managed to carve out his niche in Anyang City, the provincial capital.


    Thinking about this, Luo Zhou couldn¡¯t help but admire him.


    HR Sister Zhao said, ¡°Young man, prepare seriously, the exam at Provincial Hospital No. 2 is quite fair this time.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t say much, since he was simply here to look around, not to exercise any influence. Just because he was a staff member at Provincial Hospital No. 2 didn¡¯t mean he had much authority; after all, he was just one of the 1400 regular employees there!


    But in the spirit of encouraging a classmate, Chen Cang still advised, ¡°Luo Zhou, the emergency department at Provincial Hospital No. 2 is continuously developing and places a lot of importance on training personnel. This time it¡¯s an opportunity. Prepare well, and if you do get in, it¡¯s a great position with good income and most importantly, a positive department atmosphere.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Luo Zhou nodded and smiled, gratefully saying, ¡°Thanks, Cang Er, I¡¯ll go back and prepare well, aiming to become your colleague.¡±


    After Luo Zhou and Dong Jia left, they were filled with mixed emotions.


    Who could have imagined such a scene?


    Upon exiting the gymnasium, Dong Jia¡¯s eyes widened, unable to hold back, she said, ¡°Luo Zhou, should we invite Chen Cang out for dinner tonight? After all, he¡¯s a doctor in the emergency department, and now he¡¯s here for recruitment. Maybe he can have a say?¡±


    ¡°Besides, we could probe for information; if there¡¯s any news, we could find out in advance. It would benefit you, right?¡±


    Luo Zhou pondered for a moment, then shook his head, ¡°Let it be, wouldn¡¯t that just put Cang Er in an awkward spot?¡±


    ¡°Everyone knows Chen Cang¡¯s situation. Hasn¡¯t he achieved what he has today entirely through his own efforts? Bothering him now would be obviously indecent.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, everyone has their difficulties. Let¡¯s not delay him because of us, right?¡±


    Dong Jia sighed; she had these thoughts for Luo Zhou¡¯s sake, ¡°I¡¯m just worried¡­¡±


    Luo Zhou smiled at Dong Jia, ¡°Okay, darling! You have to trust me, I¡¯ll definitely pass the exam. It¡¯s better for us to get in on our own merit. Why should we trouble others?¡±


    Seeing the resolution in Luo Zhou¡¯s eyes, Dong Jia said no more, ¡°All right then, you have to give it your all!¡±


    Luo Zhou nodded.

 Chapter 249 - Chapter 249: Chapter 250: Abandoned by All (Extra for 6000 monthly passes)

    Chapter 249: Chapter 250: Abandoned by All (Extra for 6000 monthly passes)


    After all, it was a job fair, and the appearance of Dong Jia and Luo Zhou was not an isolated incident. Soon, someone spotted Chen Cang at the job fair, and people started inquiring one after another.


    Chen Cang was very discreet; he didn¡¯t think his role in the emergency department at the provincial hospital made him particularly special. He was just there to help out today.


    As for scouting talent? Having a chat? Leveraging connections?


    He knew his own weight.


    To put it bluntly, what was he anyway?


    Among the 1,400 staff and hundreds of doctors at the provincial hospital, he was just an ordinary employee. What say could he possibly have?


    So Chen Cang certainly didn¡¯t make any grand claims or speak recklessly.


    But, Chen Cang not speaking recklessly didn¡¯t mean others wouldn¡¯t let their imaginations run wild.


    Suddenly, the news of Chen Cang¡¯s appearance at the job fair blew up in the class group chat.


    Everyone was marveling at how awesome Chen Cang was!


    After all, Chen Cang seemed to be doing quite well among the students, as he had already secured a stable job, a position in a provincial tertiary hospital¡ªhow proud he must be.


    At that time, Chen Cang¡¯s phone began to receive an incessant stream of private messages with all kinds of requests whether he could pull some strings, introduce them to the head of the emergency department, or share any internal resources.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t reply, feeling it inappropriate. After pondering, he simply said, ¡°The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.¡±


    Those who understood replied with a smiley face to show their understanding; those who didn¡¯t simply sent a ¡°hehe¡± to signify their understanding.


    Chen Cang just laughed it off indifferently; there was no need to explain to those who didn¡¯t understand.


    After all, how could you explain it to such people?


    What good would explanations do?


    With that mindset, they only cared for themselves; they never considered how it might affect you or others.


    Being friends with such people?


    There¡¯s no need.


    But suddenly, the news that Chen Cang had gotten a permanent position at the provincial hospital after his undergraduate studies spread, and the group chat became incredibly lively with everyone discussing it.


    Some who were sarcastic said that he was now too good for his old classmates, implying that he looked down on them since he was appointed by the hospital to pursue postgraduate studies and was carrying all sorts of ostentatious attitudes.


    At first, Chen Cang replied in the group chat, but later, he simply couldn¡¯t be bothered and left the group.


    After all, it¡¯s fine to maintain good relations with those you can, and there¡¯s no harm in letting go of those you cannot.


    This society really does have all sorts of people.


    It¡¯s just that their hearts are too sour to bear seeing you doing better than them, and jealousy begins to grow.


    After all, Chen Cang didn¡¯t pursue postgraduate studies after college, whereas they had all graduated from their masters¡¯ programs by now.


    So what about now?


    Chen Cang had a permanent position, and not just any position, but one at a provincial tertiary hospital¡ªand he would have a graduate degree in a few years as well!


    And those who were feeling imbalanced couldn¡¯t believe that after all the effort to get their masters, they still had a harder time finding jobs than an undergraduate, which was unsettling for them.


    But we¡¯re all ordinary people; nothing comes without hard work.


    Whose success is not earned through their own blood, sweat, and tears?


    However, this world is diverse, and you cannot control other people¡¯s thoughts.


    Chen Cang did not bother with these things.


    Seeing Chen Cang leaving the group suddenly stirred things up.


    Everyone fell silent, no longer chatting and consulting cheerfully as before. They couldn¡¯t help but scoff at facing such attitudes, turning off WeChat and ceasing to speak.


    Ma Zhizheng, upon seeing Chen Cang leave the group, couldn¡¯t help but comment, ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? It¡¯s just a position in the system. We haven¡¯t even started our system entrance exams yet. So full of yourself, leaving the group like you¡¯re something special. You can barely manage to help an old classmate, how impressive!¡±


    Xu Huihui threw in, ¡°Even Geng Yan didn¡¯t say anything, and she¡¯s a postgraduate from Xiehe, with a husband who¡¯s a postdoctoral fellow at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Yet she doesn¡¯t put on airs like this, such petty triumph.¡±


    Ma Zhizheng quickly added, ¡°I suddenly realize how wise Geng Yan was to break up with him. He¡¯s not worthy of her. Now strutting around in the emergency department of the provincial hospital, what a great department!¡±


    At this time, Geng Yan, who rarely spoke, sent a message: ¡°Enough already, did they offend you or something?¡±


    Geng Yan had read all the messages from the beginning, and to be honest, she was somewhat surprised that Chen Cang could get into Xiehe Second Hospital, let alone secure a position. After all, jobs were really hard to find nowadays, especially for college graduates.


    But seeing others speak like that, she also felt somewhat disdainful.


    After saying that, Geng Yan left the group chat too.


    Now that really stirred things up.


    Ma Zhizheng and Xu Huihui were both dumbfounded¡ªwhat the heck was going on?


    At this point, Luo Zhou couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Chen Cang is just awesome! He was better than you in school and he¡¯s still better than you now that he¡¯s working!¡±


    After that, he also left the group chat!


    Lin He just laughed and sent a ¡°Heh, so sour!¡±


    Then he left the group chat as well.


    Ma Zhizheng¡¯s face turned red¡ªhe hadn¡¯t expected the conversation to take such a turn!


    Not long after, about half of the fifty-something people in the class group chat had left, and many of the others probably muted the chat and stayed silent.


    Ma Zhizheng and Xu Huihui were dumbfounded; this was not the outcome they had anticipated.


    Looking out for himself, Ma Zhizheng typed: ¡°Heh, talk about putting on airs, looking down on others like a snob, just because you think Chen Cang got a position now, huh? Cut it out! Everyone¡¯s rushing to be a bootlicker, aren¡¯t they?¡±


    At this time, a classmate said, ¡°You really are a failure as a person, not even realizing what the problem is. Those three years of grad school really went to waste.¡±


    After saying that, they didn¡¯t stick around and left the group chat immediately.


    Ma Zhizheng was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode!


    Chen Cang had left the group chat without paying any attention to whoever said whatever.


    People like that just lacked a proper set of values; why say anything more when you¡¯re not on the same wavelength?


    Before long, Chen Cang found himself added to a new group chat.


    Luo Zhou smiled and said, ¡°This group is much more peaceful.¡±


    Everyone laughed and started chatting.


    That was when Chen Cang finally understood what had happened.


    He felt moved for a moment; after all, most people are good, but every class has one or two who like to stir up trouble, always thinking they¡¯re something special.


    Chen Cang chuckled and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Thanks, everyone.¡±


    Dong Jia smiled slightly: ¡°Red packets, red packets! Nothing speaks louder than red packets.¡±


    Everyone was teasing and egging him on.


    Chen Cang was also happy; he wasn¡¯t the same as before. With a fortune of a million, Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital had settled all his payments by September first. Conservatively estimating, Chen Cang¡¯s account held over a million.


    Chen Cang smiled and started sending a few big red packets of 200 each to the group chat.


    Originally, Dong Jia was just joking, and everyone else was playfully joining in.


    But who would have thought Chen Cang would be so generous?


    ¡°Chen the boss is awesome!¡±


    ¡°Did Boss Chen snag a wealthy woman?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s possible, after all, Chen Cang is quite handsome, has the makings of a pretty boy!¡±


    Chen Cang was shocked¡ªhow the hell did you guys find out?


    And to tell the truth, if not for that rich lady, he really wouldn¡¯t have so much money¡­


    ps: Hehe, just updated four chapters, not sure if there will be any tomorrow, the monthly ticket bill is almost paid¡ªheehee.


    Also, I¡¯ve realized I¡¯m not cut out for big projects, writing a few chapters and publishing them right away; I can¡¯t save up any¡­ I¡¯ll have to keep things under wraps from now on¡­

 Chapter 250 - Chapter 250: Chapter 251: Special Suturing

    Chapter 250: Chapter 251: Special Suturing


    It must be said that the two-day weekend publicity campaign was very effective!


    Several patients with tendon injuries were brought in on Sunday.


    Director An didn¡¯t even have the chance to rest over the weekend before diving straight into work. Fortunately, with Wang Qian¡¯s help, he was still able to manage.


    On Monday morning, Chen Cang arrived at the hospital just after seven o¡¯clock as usual, adeptly taking on the daily tasks, but suddenly discovered that the difficulty of the tasks was somewhat higher than usual.


    [Ding! Daily task: Complete 10 Tendon Suture Surgeries. Task reward: Special training in Bunnell Suture Technique.]


    Chen Cang was slightly taken aback, as the Bunnell Suture Technique is a commonly used method in Tendon Suture Surgery, which he also knew how to perform. This was something Director An had taught him when he first arrived at the emergency department.


    This really highlighted how Director An, who usually seemed serious and stern, never one to joke around, was actually warm-hearted. Chen Cang had learned many useful skills without ¡°shearing the wool¡± off Director An.


    After all, when you¡¯re working in emergency care, what can¡¯t you do a bit of?


    The saying ¡°jack of all trades, master of none¡± fits the emergency department best; otherwise, you¡¯d never know what type of patients could come in while you¡¯re on duty.


    You can¡¯t just say when a patient arrives,


    for minor issues, call for a consultation,


    for major ones, transfer them out.


    Avoid responsibilities altogether.


    Then what use are you?


    Apart from wasting the patient¡¯s critical rescue time and missing the golden window, there¡¯s no point at all.


    Seeing today¡¯s daily task, Chen Cang seemed to smell something special in the air.


    It could be a special task!


    After all, completing 10 cases of Tendon Suture Surgery is not something simple, not to mention whether there would even be enough patients to fulfill the task.


    But the task reward, special training in Bunnell Suture Technique¡­ seemed somewhat trivial?


    However, following the usual system pattern of luring with lesser rewards, there could be more advanced suturing techniques to come. With this in mind, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    During the morning handover, Li Baoshan emphasized, ¡°Our emergency department will probably be busier and more tiring in the coming period, but this is the most crucial time. The new hand surgery section has just been established and needs everyone¡¯s effort to build its reputation and strive to improve diagnostic and treatment efficiency, satisfying the general public.¡±


    ¡°Yesterday, I communicated with several other hospitals¡¯ hand surgery departments in case there¡¯s an influx of patients, so we can timely distribute patients and allow them to receive early and proper treatment.¡±


    Tendon injuries are acute, penetrating wounds that require early medical attention and treatment, as missing the optimal treatment time is not conducive to recovery.


    ¡°Director An will be very busy these next few days, Chen Cang, you should strive to coordinate with Director An¡¯s work and help build up the hand surgery department as quickly as possible.¡±


    Li Baoshan himself hadn¡¯t rested these past two days either, going back and forth communicating and connecting with the hand surgery departments of other hospitals. After all, the hand surgery sector is a new section recently set up in emergency care that needs to quickly increase its influence and treat more patients.


    But a hospital is not a marketplace or supermarket where you can freely advertise.


    And the best form of hospital advertisement is word-of-mouth!


    Only through the recommendation of one patient to another can we truly improve treatment effectiveness.


    Hand surgery and orthopedics are similar in some aspects but differ in many others. In the current environment of orthopedics, everything revolves around taking photos, surgeries, and if you have any issues, odds are you¡¯re going under the knife.


    But hand surgery is different; many small surgeries in hand surgery won¡¯t get scheduled in the operating room!


    Why? Because those conditions don¡¯t bring profit to the operating room. The surgical department also has limited resources, with only so many operating rooms available. If you occupy one, how can others operate?


    Plain and simple, minor surgeries like Tendon Suture Surgery earn their keep through manual labor, with departmental profits relying on a cut from the surgeon¡¯s fees. However, the emergency department of Provincial Hospital No. 2 just established a new hand surgery sector that welcomes all patients, big or small.


    For example, if you perform an orthopedic surgery that costs 30,000 yuan, the main expenses are 20,000 for equipment, 5,000 for medication, 2,000 for surgery, and miscellaneous costs add up to 3,000. However, what the hospital can take includes a portion of the surgery fees, a commission on medication, and a mark-up on equipment. Similarly for the surgeons, where¡¯s the bulk of money? In the equipment.


    However, hand surgery¡¯s Tendon Suture Surgery is different. The average cost for one Tendon Suture Surgery in hand surgery is five or six thousand yuan, with diagnostic tests, bed fees totaling over three thousand, a few hundred for surgical materials, medications ranging from a few hundred to a thousand, and around one thousand for the surgery fee. So where can surgeons earn money?


    That comes merely from a portion of the surgery fees distributed as labor income. They might get a bit, but those few hundred yuan for medications and surgical materials ¡ª why would the operating room care for such small change!


    If you had to name the highest-earning department in the entire hospital, the operating room would definitely be one!


    The weekly consumables and such expenses are merely a few million at most; your hundred or so yuan in material costs for a surgery are really nothing to them.


    So¡­ brothers, if you encounter nurses from the operating room, just give in!


    They earn more than the doctors!


    That¡¯s why many orthopedic surgeons look down on tendon suture surgery; the operating room dislikes these kinds of small, undefined surgeries even more, favoring large orthopedic surgeries such as finger amputation suture surgery, finger replantation, fractures, and serious injuries that require ¡°technical skills.¡±


    Tendon suture surgery is disdained, orthopedic surgeons find it tiring and don¡¯t want to do it, and the operating room finds it unprofitable and doesn¡¯t want to schedule it, so many simply start doing it in the treatment room.


    So, when Li Baoshan asked other hospitals¡¯ orthopedic departments to transfer patients, they were happy to do so. After all, you can¡¯t refuse a tendon rupture that comes in. If you accept it, it¡¯s hard to arrange for the operating room, with high risks, low earnings, and doctors not particularly enthusiastic about it.


    Tendon suture surgery is just such an awkwardly positioned procedure!


    Big hospitals aren¡¯t keen to do it, the operating room doesn¡¯t care for it, small hospitals can¡¯t handle it well, and private hospitals charge too high fees.


    But, without a doubt, it matches the current needs of the Provincial Second Hospital!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Before the emergency department handover was over, the duty nurse ran in, ¡°Director, several patients with hand injuries have come.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded decisively and said, ¡°Meeting adjourned! Everyone, get busy.¡±


    An Yanjun had already taken the lead towards the outside, with Chen Cang and Wang Qian quickly following behind him.


    The arrival of the patients also announced the beginning of a busy and tense day!


    After coming out, they learned that the patients had been referred by the emergency department and orthopedic surgery of Dongda First Hospital, which was strong in those areas and had many patients, so the referral was understandable.


    By then, the patient¡¯s family members had completed the necessary procedures. After An Yanjun arranged for the related tests and examinations, he glanced at Chen Cang, then at Wang Qian, thought for a moment, and said, ¡°Little Chen, you stitch up two of them, I¡¯ll do two, and¡­ Little Wang, you help me out as an assistant.¡±


    Wang Qian was taken aback when he heard this, sensing an unprecedented strong distrust from An Yanjun!


    This was clearly a case of unequal treatment, and he looked at An Yanjun with resentment.


    Chen Cang smiled faintly, ¡°Qian Brother, if you want to follow me, that¡¯s fine too.¡±


    Wang Qian snorted, wishing he could shove Chen Cang in the face, ¡°Humph! Do not underestimate the poor youth!¡±


    An Yanjun paused, pondered, and then spoke to Wang Qian in the treatment room, ¡°Little Wang.¡±


    Wang Qian looked up, ¡°What¡¯s up, Teacher An?¡±


    An Yanjun asked curiously, ¡°Aren¡¯t you older than Little Chen?¡±


    Wang Qian nodded, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m 29, he¡¯s 27.¡±


    An Yanjun uttered, ¡°Oh¡­ the phrase ¡®Do not underestimate the poor youth¡¯ doesn¡¯t seem to fit here.¡±


    Wang Qian was instantly confused: %£¤#@£¤


    An Yanjun continued, ¡°But it¡¯s good to have goals. As long as you work hard toward them, that¡¯s fine.¡±


    ¡°However¡­ don¡¯t be overly ambitious; be down-to-earth. Moreover¡­ when choosing goals, make sure they align with your reality, don¡¯t be blind.¡±


    An Yanjun gave a heartfelt, sincere piece of advice to Wang Qian.


    Of course¡­ it was also a reminder to himself, because some people are simply not ordinary, why compare with them?


    Thinking of this, An Yanjun also consoled himself, why compare to Chen Cang!

    ps: There will be only one update at noon; I¡¯m not holding back, I just really didn¡¯t write it out¡­ Actually, I didn¡¯t want to release this chapter either, but seeing that the last chapter was chapter 250, that number feels odd¡­ 251 is at least a bit better than 250, emmm¡­ today will tentatively have five updates.

 Chapter 251 - Chapter 251: Chapter 252: Deep Thoughts Aroused by Sewing Clothes

    Chapter 251: Chapter 252: Deep Thoughts Aroused by Sewing Clothes


    Dongyang Province, as an old central province, has geographical characteristics that are quite typical of Banyang City.


    Heavy industry had been in increasingly decline, with no new growth to take its place, while although light industry was also encouraged to develop, the speed of its development was genuinely worrying. As for tourism and high-tech industries, progress had been relatively lagging.


    In recent years, in order to improve the environment, those enterprises that greatly pollute were relocated outside of the city.


    ¡­


    The two patients Chen Cang received were both women, around fifty years old.


    They sat there quietly, without the chaotic screaming and baring of teeth or the unending sighs of anguish, as if they were accustomed to significant events, instead appearing quite unflustered.


    However, being calm is one thing, but after all, being hospitalized with such big wounds still came with some worries.


    Both women had worry on their faces, and their already uneven foreheads were furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.


    When Chen Cang prepared to treat the first lady, who was slightly taller, he could not curb his curiosity and asked, ¡°Big sister, doesn¡¯t it hurt?¡±


    The big sister, Fan Yunxia, paused when she heard Chen Cang¡¯s question and suddenly laughed, ¡°How could it not hurt!¡±


    Qin Yue, lending a hand at the side, chimed in, ¡°Big sister, you¡¯re really brave! If it were me, I¡¯d have been crying my eyes out.¡±


    Fan Yunxia laughed again, glanced at the deep wound on her hand, sighed, and then looked at Qin Yue before speaking, ¡°It¡¯s much better now. I remember when I was about your age, back in the nineties. That¡¯s when the factory still used old machinery, and it was common to hear about people getting injured every other day, with lost fingers being a regular occurrence. Now, with technology advancing, safety has improved!¡±


    ¡°As for my fingers, this isn¡¯t the first time they¡¯ve been injured. I¡¯ve had two nerve repairs and one tendon repair on my left hand, but it¡¯s the first time for the right.¡±


    At this point, Fan Yunxia sighed, ¡°As hurt as it might be, the main concern is the sequelae after it heals.¡±


    ¡°My left hand already lacks strength, and the tips of two fingers are always numb. When cooking, my left hand can only stabilize the pot; I can¡¯t even lift it. I don¡¯t have the strength to toss the pan, and I dare not do heavy labor. It¡¯s been several years, and it¡¯s still the same. I¡¯m mainly worried that my right hand will end up the same.¡±


    At that moment, the woman held out her left hand and said, ¡°Look at this finger, I can¡¯t straighten it now, and it hurts a little when I try. I had it checked, and they said it¡¯s adhered, also tendinosis. It¡¯s an old problem now. I¡¯m just waiting to retire and then it¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    ¡°I mustn¡¯t get injured these next few years, otherwise, when the time comes to look after my grandchildren, I won¡¯t have any strength in my hands. Just thinking about it worries me¡­¡±


    Nerve and tendon repairs often come with sequela, with many people experiencing numbness frequently after nerve damage, as recovery doesn¡¯t go so well.


    Tendon repairs are similar. If adhesions occur during the recovery period after a tendon repair, the discomfort can be worse than tendinitis, with reduced flexibility, limited movement, and even the sensation of weakness¡ªall too common.


    Although Chen Cang and Qin Yue often performed sutures and knew about the adverse reactions to diseases, they had never experienced them themselves and ultimately did not know what the symptoms truly felt like.


    There¡¯s a saying that protracted illness turns patients into good doctors, and there¡¯s certainly some truth in it; after all, they come to understand a lot about various illnesses.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help sighing. Some diseases are like that, not severe if spoken of, but quite bothersome in reality.


    Moreover, with limited expertise initially and insufficient understanding of tendon repairs back in the nineties, six-strand suture techniques were rarely seen even in the whole country, let alone in Banyang.


    Just then, Fan Yunxia suddenly asked, ¡°Doctor, tendon injuries are common at our factory. I have a colleague who happened to encounter a specialist from the capital when she went to the hospital, and she received a high-level surgery using something called ¡®Tang¡¯ method for suturing, which they said had a really good effect. She¡¯s recovered quite well now. Doctor, do you know how to perform the ¡®Tang¡¯ method?¡±


    With the internet being so widespread now, information spreads quickly, and the general public is more knowledgeable about many things.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Big sister, you¡¯re quite knowledgeable, aren¡¯t you.¡±


    Fan Yunxia gave an embarrassed smile, ¡°Oh my, big sister is just fussing and bustling around. It¡¯s a professional hazard for us to know slightly more.¡±


    ¡°But doctor, don¡¯t let me influence you, huh. Coming to the hospital certainly means having faith in the doctor. My daughter is a nurse, so I understand you all.¡±


    Fan Yunxia was like most middle-aged women, a bit plump, with thick lips, a high nose bridge, and extremely warm and generous¡ªa typical northern woman.


    The surgery hadn¡¯t started yet, so Chen Cang and Fan Yunxia also chatted a bit more.


    Suddenly, Feng Caixia said, ¡°You all are educated folks, unlike our generation. My whole life, I¡¯ve only known how to sew clothes, but sewing up people and sewing up clothes are not the same thing, the technical content is much higher!¡±


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but laugh. This big sister was truly optimistic. With such a deep wound on her hand, she could still manage to laugh. Her mindset was really great.


    However, Fan Yunxia¡¯s words suddenly enlightened Chen Cang, giving him a lot to think about.


    Right!


    What¡¯s the difference between stitching tendons and stitching clothes?


    There is a connection!


    Like sewing clothes, there are many kinds of stitches and sewing methods, and the same applies to tendon suturing.


    Fan Yunxia asked, ¡°Doctor, is this Tang technique really that amazing?¡±


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°Big sister, you¡¯re not wrong at all. In fact, sewing tendons is just like sewing clothes.¡±


    ¡°When there¡¯s a tear in the clothes, you have many different stitching techniques to mend it. It¡¯s the same for tendons; the Tang method is just one of those stitching techniques.¡±


    ¡°When machines make clothes, the more densely packed the thread ends become, the stronger the clothes are. Tendon suturing is similar. In the past, people used to do two-strand sutures, with classic techniques like Kessler and Tsuge methods.¡±


    ¡°Later on, people developed four-strand suturing with methods like LAhey and Becker. And now, there are six-strand intratendinous suture methods, like Savage. These were all invented by foreigners, but eventually, our country¡¯s Professor Tang created a six-strand intratendinous suture method called Tang method.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Fan Yunxia immediately understood!


    ¡°So that means, this Tang method is very impressive? With six threads for suturing, the repair must be good!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and shook his head. People have this misconception that the more advanced the surgery, the better the results, which isn¡¯t the case.


    ¡°It¡¯s not quite like that. Indeed, the Tang method, which uses six-strand intratendinous suturing, can improve the tendon¡¯s repair capabilities and resistance to gapping and tension. However, because it uses too many sutures, their presence undoubtedly impacts the tendon¡¯s healing, and the exposed ends of the sutures, as their number increases, will surely increase the chances of tendon adhesion.¡±


    ¡°So, the Tang method does have certain advantages for tendon surgery, but it¡¯s not suitable for all tendon repair cases, and likewise, its shortcomings are quite pronounced.¡±


    ¡°When choosing a tendon suturing technique, the most important thing is to base it on the location of your tendon and its function, selecting a suture method that is more suitable for you.¡±


    With this explanation, Fan Yunxia finally understood!


    Laughing, she said, ¡°Doctor Chen, you are truly enthusiastic. Having a doctor like you makes a patient feel secure.¡±


    At the same time, she felt her perception of Chen Cang change, with a new sense of trust.


    Actually, the relationship between doctors and patients is improved through communication with each other.

 Chapter 252 - Chapter 252: Chapter 253: Special Training on Bunnell Suture Technique

    Chapter 252: Chapter 253: Special Training on Bunnell Suture Technique


    In fact, Chen Cang was explaining to Fan Yunxia, but he was also explaining to himself!


    What does that mean?


    Everyone has had the experience of explaining something to someone else, and during the process, there¡¯s a feeling that as you¡¯re explaining, you¡¯re also improving yourself. You might discover your own shortcomings in thinking or consolidate your knowledge.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned!¡±


    Qin Yue, standing by, was even more earnest than Fan Yunxia in listening. He realized that Chen Cang¡¯s understanding of Tendon Suture Surgery was indeed profound, no wonder he was capable of such impressive Tendon Suture Surgery!


    He must study a lot after getting off work, right?


    His hard drive must be full of surgery videos. I¡¯ll ask to borrow and copy some.


    All of a sudden, Qin Yue felt an epiphany, perhaps Chen Cang truly aimed to develop a new kind of Tendon Suture technique, and the so-called Chen¡¯s Tendon Suturing might not be impossible!


    At this thought, Qin Yue¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but race wildly.


    Chen Cang might really be onto something big.


    At that moment, Qin Yue seemed to feel a sense of mission. After all, Chen Cang had invited her to join him in the endeavor. With Chen Cang working so hard, she couldn¡¯t lag behind.


    Now Chen Cang was consciously slowing down his suturing speed, attentively feeling and discovering his experience and deficiencies during surgery.


    How could one summarize and reconcile the two factors, reducing adhesions and speeding up recovery?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The morning was busy; patients with tendon injuries came one after another in a continuous stream, as if disturbing a hornet¡¯s nest.


    Far from complaining, Chen Cang was actually grateful that this could potentially shorten the time needed to complete five hundred Tendon Suture Surgeries.


    In the morning, with Qin Yue¡¯s help, Chen Cang performed six Tendon Suture Surgeries. Although three were done in the treatment room, they were not any less demanding than those in the operating theater, perhaps even more so.


    After coming out of the treatment room, it was almost 2 p.m. Chen Cang stretched out lazily, watching Qin Yue also stretching and doing chest expansion exercises!


    Upon closer inspection, he was immediately taken aback!


    Huh?


    It seems¡­


    it¡¯s not for ¡°A¡±!


    Chen Cang was shocked by his own discovery.


    This made him more curious than finding the flaw in the Bunnell suture method.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help exclaiming, ¡°Damn¡­ Hidden depth, huh!¡±


    Qin Yue immediately turned around, her gaze sharp as a knife, wishing she could gouge out Chen Cang¡¯s eyes.


    Chen Cang coughed and hastily offered, ¡°Let¡¯s have lunch together. You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    Qin Yue said, ¡°You have a conscience.¡±


    With six surgeries in the morning, even if Tendon Suture doesn¡¯t pay much, by the surgery fee coefficient, Chen Cang could earn hundreds at least. Of course, Qin Yue also earned her share. This is the advantage of being staffed; the more you do, the more you earn. As long as your name is signed on the surgical participants¡¯ list, you have an income.


    It was already past one o¡¯clock when they left. The lunch rush had passed, and the two of them walked together in harmony.


    Qin Yue likes wearing loose clothing, those Korean-style, baggy burlap-sack-like garments that obscure everything underneath.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Qin Yue, why don¡¯t you wear clothes that show off your figure? You look like a man in that; it might lead to misunderstandings!¡±


    Qin Yue snorted coldly, ¡°What! I¡¯m afraid you will covet my beauty!¡±


    Chen Cang almost spat out blood!


    Covert your beauty¡­


    They had lunch at Liu Yi Hotpot, enjoying the tendons and brain, and true to form comfort foods were satisfying. They both felt comfortably full and content. Only if they could take a nap right now, it would be perfect.


    However, because they got off work late in the morning and had a scrumptious lunch, it was almost three o¡¯clock. There was no choice but to go straight back to work.


    The afternoon was still busy with patients, six or seven Tendon Suture Surgeries waiting.


    Even Chen Cang, standing there, felt some soreness in his lower back, but Qin Yue didn¡¯t utter a word about being tired.


    This made Chen Cang swallow the complaint about his sore back he had wanted to make. What if it prompted a retort about him having weak kidneys? That would just be asking for embarrassment.


    It was tiring, but the learning was fruitful!


    Chen Cang felt he had many insights from this afternoon¡¯s session.


    Returning home exhausted, he heard the system¡¯s notification sound.


    [Ding! Daily task completed, Bunnell Suture Technique special training unlocked, do you want to start now?]


    Chen Cang, lying in bed with nothing better to do, simply clicked to begin.


    Suddenly, his vision changed, and Chen Cang found himself in an operating room.


    However, there was a foreign man standing in front of him, dressed in white.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Bunnell!¡± the man said with a smile, introducing himself.


    Chen Cang was somewhat taken aback. Was this the so-called Bunnell Suture Technique special training?


    But Mr. Bunnell had passed away a long time ago; this couldn¡¯t count as seeing a ghost, could it?


    Chen Cang quickly bowed, greeting the senior practitioner, ¡°Hello, respected Mr. Bunnell.¡±


    Bunnell smiled a bit and nodded, ¡°Today, I¡¯m here to help you with the Bunnell Suture Technique special training.¡±


    After saying that, Bunnell pointed his finger and a patient appeared on the operating table.


    He beckoned Chen Cang, ¡°In reality, rather than calling it the Bunnell Suture Technique, it might be more illustrative to call it the looped suture method. Its main principle is¡­¡±


    ¡°Now that you understand the main steps of the Bunnell Suture Technique, next, you¡¯ll perform a few surgeries to get a feel for it.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°You might have noticed that the Bunnell Suture Technique is not suitable for all tendon surgeries. Tendons have individual differences, different tendons, different zones, have different requirements, and likewise for incisions. You will need to determine what is suitable for the Bunnell Suture Technique, what the best choice is¡­ please look¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Okay, after such a long time, you now understand the Bunnell Suture Technique well enough. Next, what you need to recognize are the pros and cons of the Bunnell Suture Technique!¡±


    ¡°Its advantage is quite clear, that is, it doesn¡¯t leave foreign material inside the tendon! It facilitates the tendon¡¯s healing later on and also doesn¡¯t cause adhesions that could be triggered by foreign material or suture ends.¡±


    ¡°However, its operation is quite complicated. If the technique isn¡¯t good enough, it could easily cause extensive adhesions, so it requires you to practice continuously.¡±


    ¡°So, in the next period, please start your practice. After I am satisfied with your operations, you will be allowed to leave.¡±


    Under Bunnell¡¯s guidance, Chen Cang seemed to undergo an era of transformation. It was a new understanding and deeper appreciation of tendon suturing, practice after practice, reassessment after reassessment, Chen Cang¡¯s insights into this suturing method grew ever deeper!


    After each surgery, Bunnell personally helped Chen Cang analyze and seek areas for improvement, striving to make breakthroughs!


    Time was unaccounted for, and after countless surgeries, Chen Cang¡¯s understanding of the Bunnell Suture had deepened, and his success rate in surgeries increasingly improved!


    Finally, Bunnell looked at Chen Cang with a smile, ¡°Young man, you are very talented. I hope the Bunnell Suture shines in your hands. But remember, the method is just a means to treat illness. Don¡¯t be rigidly fixed on it. Any surgical method has its limitations. You must think beyond those limits, understand the disease, and choose the therapeutic approach. In fact, with tendon suturing, there isn¡¯t one fixed method; you can even combine various different surgical approaches for treatment!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, bending sincerely to bow, ¡°Thank you for your teachings, Mr. Bunnell!¡±


    This time, Chen Cang was truly grateful, even if this was only a projection by the system. The favor felt genuinely profound.


    No sooner had he spoken than Chen Cang found himself back in bed.


    To be honest, after several special trainings, this was the most realistic experience Chen Cang had!


    Indeed, the method was thoroughly taught under Bunnell¡¯s tutelage.


    He closed his eyes, constantly recalling what he had learned.


    The learning this time was truly profound, granting Chen Cang a deep understanding of the soul and essence of a suturing method, which was immensely important.


    Although Chen Cang¡¯s Tendon Suture Surgery skills had already reached a masterful level, he felt that Mr. Bunnell¡¯s technique, even if not perfect, was not far from it.


    There is a long distance between a master and perfection.


    And the great success of the Bunnell Suture Method had advanced Chen Cang¡¯s Tendon Suture Surgery a significant step closer to perfection on that road!


    ¡­

 Chapter 253 - Chapter 253: Chapter 254: Searching for the BOSS

    Chapter 253: Chapter 254: Searching for the BOSS


    Early the next morning, Chen Cang arrived at the office quite early.


    As soon as he entered the hospital gate, the system prompt continued to sound.


    [Ding! Daily task triggered: complete 10 Tendon Suture Surgeries, Task Reward: Training in Kessler¡¯s Suturing Technique.]


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!


    He felt his breathing become somewhat labored; he had a vague feeling that this time the system was going for something big!


    Was it possibly going to make him master every suturing method accurately?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but get excited!


    Tendon suturing had developed over several hundred years, and people¡¯s understanding of tendons had deepened.


    And at each period, the understanding of tendon suturing was different.


    From the physical tensile strength of the last era to the restorative power of the seventies, to the endogenous healing power of the six-strand suturing method led by Professor Tang in the nineties, and so on, concepts kept changing until today, when anti-adhesion has become one of the main research directions in tendon healing.


    It is also the development direction that most hand surgeons are researching.


    All of a sudden, Chen Cang felt a sense of belonging to the hand surgery community. Thinking this, Chen Cang quickly shook his head ¨C how could he be bound by mere hand surgery when he was aiming to dominate the field of surgery!


    At that moment, an earth-shattering idea came to Chen Cang: Dominating the field of surgery starts with hand surgery!


    After arriving at the office, Chen Cang suddenly found that Qin Yue was already there, doodling at the desk.


    Qin Yue heard someone coming in and saw Chen Cang; her face brightened, and she quickly got up and scurried over.


    ¡°Chen Cang, come quickly, I have something to show you!¡±


    Chen Cang asked in surprise, ¡°What is it?¡±


    Laughing, Qin Yue said, ¡°After I went back yesterday, thinking back on your surgery video, I found some details a bit blurry, so I retrieved your surgery video from surveillance but it wasn¡¯t very clear. So I brought my home camera!¡±


    After saying this, Qin Yue took out her phone¡¯s camera with a triumphant air, ¡°Wait, wait, wait! See?¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded, looking at the sophisticated-looking camera in front of Qin Yue and wasn¡¯t sure: ¡°Is this¡­ appropriate?¡±


    Qin Yue giggled, ¡°What¡¯s inappropriate about it! Look, I even brought the tripod! During the surgery, we can just set it up somewhere.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve decided to record your surgeries from now on, then go back and break them down for review, comparing meaningful surgical details ¨C we might make some discoveries!¡±


    Seeing Qin Yue¡¯s excitement, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel a little concerned, ¡°Did you not sleep well last night?¡±


    Qin Yue let out a sigh, ¡°I don¡¯t have a profound understanding of Tendon Suture Surgery, so recently I¡¯ve been studying up every night after going home ¨C looking up materials, hoping not to hold you back!¡±


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°Why did you come so early?¡±


    Qin Yue chuckled without answering. If she had come late, how could she have sneaked out the camera ¨C it was her father Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s prized possession!


    Chen Cang smiled and sincerely said, ¡°Thank you, Qin Yue!¡±


    Qin Yue snorted, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it!¡±


    At that time, Wang Yong walked in, his face showing the fatigue of a night shift. Seeing the camera in Chen Cang¡¯s hands, he paused!


    ¡°Uh? Professor Chen¡­ You¡¯re all set with this camera?¡±


    The remark was quite ordinary, but why did Chen Cang always feel that something was off?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    During this period, there was an abundance of cases, and Chen Cang felt deeply fulfilled. He worked from dawn to late into the night, almost entirely performing surgeries.


    What moved Chen Cang was Qin Yue. This young girl worked around the clock, and her dark circles grew increasingly pronounced.


    The daily tasks kept updating. Initially, the suturing techniques Chen Cang heard of included the LAhey method, Becker method, Savage method, and the like. Towards the end, all sorts of strange and chaotic methods surfaced, but after looking up information, Chen Cang found that these methods were in accordance with the concepts and representative methods of different eras.


    However, this truly validated what Professor Bunnell once said: Each method has its most suitable growing environment. Your job is to find the most appropriate suturing method based on the particular characteristics of the disease, that is, the specificity of the Achilles tendon.


    Every day, Chen Cang could feel himself making progress!


    With over a dozen surgeries each day, Chen Cang felt more and more at ease.


    As an assistant, Qin Yue could clearly see the changes in Chen Cang!


    In every surgery, Qin Yue was the sole assistant and the only spectator.


    She witnessed, firsthand, how Chen Cang seemed to be constantly changing, perfecting, making progress time after time!


    This astonished Qin Yue.


    Just where was the limit of this young man?


    Initially, Qin Yue had only a vague understanding of tendon suture techniques, but even so, when she witnessed the fluent Tendon Suture Surgery Chen Cang performed on the injured detective Wu Gang, it had been a shock to her at the time!


    However, compared to the Chen Cang of today, the difference was truly immense!


    And now, Qin Yue¡¯s understanding of Tendon Suture Surgery deepened by the day. Every day after work, she consulted various Chinese and foreign literature to constantly renew her ideas and perspectives on tendon suturing.


    But after she exported the videos from the camera¡­


    Watching Chen Cang¡¯s procedures with her understanding of tendon suturing, she found them unfathomable!


    At this moment, Qin Yue truly believed that Chen Cang¡¯s initial words were no joke.


    And the Chen method of Tendon Suture, Chen Cang was serious about it too.


    In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.


    When Chen Cang once again entered the ward, the system¡¯s prompt sounded.


    [Ding! Daily task: Complete a complex Tendon Suture Surgery (Tendon monster level greater than 40). Reward for task completion: In-depth specialized training on the Tang method (including M-Tang and other derived methods) of tendon suturing.]


    Chen Cang paused, the Tang method? Were you finally ready to come out?


    Also, this time the specialized training is labeled as in-depth. Could there be a difference?


    However, completing a level 40 tendon suturing monster was a bit too challenging. It wasn¡¯t about not being able to defeat a level 40 tendon monster, but about whether he could encounter one at all.


    After all, Chen Cang had completed more than four hundred cases of tendon suturing by now, but he had never encountered a boss monster; most were ordinary tendon injuries around level twenty or so. A level 40 tendon monster¡­


    Level 40, that was at least a boss monster, or even a king-class wild monster.


    Where could he even find one?


    But Chen Cang was truly looking forward to the Tang method, as it was a highly-rated suturing method for tendon repair, and the Tang family¡¯s zoning was renowned internationally. It was very appealing.


    Just then, the phone in the emergency room rang. Nurse Xiao Lin took the call and shouted, ¡°Doctor Chen, you have a phone call!¡±


    ps: Thank you to ¡°Belief in Idealism¡± for the myriad of rewards, thank you very much!!!!!


    For now, three updates; can¡¯t write anymore, everyone take care, get some rest early~!

 Chapter 254 - Chapter 254: Chapter 255: The Pianists Hands (Added for 7000 monthly tickets)

    Chapter 254: Chapter 255: The Pianist¡¯s Hands (Added for 7000 monthly tickets)


    Chen Cang heard the phone ringing at the nurse¡¯s station and was momentarily stunned.


    The calls from here generally meant there were just a few possibilities, yet each one was quite critical!


    The first was an in-hospital emergency consultation, but if an emergency consultation was being called, that meant a patient¡¯s life was in danger and needed rescue!


    The second was from emergency services, for the timely rescue of critically ill patients.


    Either of these scenarios could make one¡¯s heart clench.


    Chen Cang hurried over and decisively answered, ¡°Hello! Chen Cang, Emergency Department, Second Provincial Hospital.¡±


    ¡°Doctor Chen, this is Zhang Keqin!¡± The loud voice on the other end immediately reminded Chen Cang of the imposing captain of the criminal police.


    But getting a call from this person was never good news¡­


    Chen Cang quickly asked, ¡°Captain Zhang, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Zhang Keqin¡¯s grave voice replied, ¡°Just now, at the South Decagon Plaza Opera House, the pianist Xing Yu¡¯s hand was crushed by a falling light!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback. Xing Yu¡­ Wasn¡¯t he that rather famous pianist?


    An accident during a performance?


    But¡­ was this really something for the criminal police to handle?


    ¡°Xing Yu is currently on his way to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital. If it¡¯s convenient for you¡­ could you come over and take a look?¡±


    Chen Cang hesitated for a moment, ¡°Captain Zhang, he¡¯s a big star. Call in an expert! From out of province, from the capital, from the megacity, from the Sixth Hospital of the megacity, or if all else fails, from abroad¡­¡±


    Zhang Keqin sighed, ¡°We¡¯ve called everyone we needed to, but¡­ as you know, the incident happened in our Anyang City. We¡¯ve got to make a show of inviting all the experts we can, you see. My hand recovery went pretty well, didn¡¯t it? And Wu Gang, that kid can even shoot now! Our chief asked me to invite you over.¡±


    It dawned on Chen Cang that he was being asked merely to make up the numbers!


    Just after hanging up, Chen Cang¡¯s phone rang. It was from Director Qin, and he was surprised.


    Why would Director Qin be calling him? After picking up, Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°Chen, give your full cooperation with the rescue operation for Xing Yu. Don¡¯t worry about the department for now.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan added, ¡°And¡­ don¡¯t overdo it, just go and take a look.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, but he nodded in agreement.


    What else could Chen Cang say when the big boss had spoken? He might as well go and meet the legendary Piano Prince.


    ¡°I¡¯m heading to the Provincial People¡¯s now,¡± Chen Cang said, taking off his gloves, to Qin Yue who was gossiping by his side.


    Qin Yue¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Xing Yu is injured?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°How do you know!?¡±


    Qin Yue replied, ¡°I heard it, and besides, it¡¯s on the news already!¡±


    With that, Qin Yue showed the news on her smartphone.


    Chen Cang paid no attention to Qin Yue, took off his white coat, handed it to her, and said, ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m off then.¡±


    Qin Yue was surprised, ¡°I want to go too.¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless, ¡°What for?¡±


    Qin Yue replied, ¡°I¡¯m a fan of Xing Yu as well. I couldn¡¯t go to the performance, but surely I can go to the hospital to see.¡±


    Chen Cang gave her a look, ¡°What¡¯s so great about chasing celebrities? Do your job properly, tsk~¡±


    Qin Yue glanced at him, ¡°I see jealousy in your eyes. Are you jealous?¡±


    Chen Cang: Heh, pui!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Before the taxi even reached the entrance of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, the surrounding cars and crowds were already so dense, it was completely impassable.


    The driver was taken aback, ¡°What¡¯s going on at the hospital? A medical dispute? Why is it so busy that we can¡¯t get through?!¡±


    Chen Cang simply paid the fare and got out of the car.


    That¡¯s the life of a celebrity for you, always having a crowd of people paying attention to everything you do, even a bunch of people come to see when you¡¯re hurt, as if there¡¯s anything worth seeing.


    All the police officers around were maintaining order, and Chen Cang also saw Wu Gang, in his police uniform, looking dashing as he stood there.


    All of a sudden, Chen Cang felt that the doctor¡¯s uniform wasn¡¯t so attractive.


    Wu Gang also saw Chen Cang and hurried over, smiling as he said, ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯re here? Go on in.¡±


    In Wu Gang¡¯s eyes, there was full gratitude, as it was Chen Cang who had allowed him to hold a gun once again, ¡°With you here, there¡¯s a good chance Xing Yu can be saved!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and squeezed through the crowd, heading inside.


    Tendon repair should be completed within twelve hours. Besides, what¡¯s the use of Chen Cang being anxious? To tell the truth, if they hadn¡¯t called him, he really wouldn¡¯t have wanted to come.


    After all, countless people were watching over Xing Yu, and if the surgery were unsuccessful, he could forget about having a good career as a doctor for the rest of his life.


    The pressure of public opinion was enough to kill a person.


    He remembered that some time ago, a celebrity had a failed surgery, and the chief surgeon¡¯s home was doxxed by crazy fans. There were people standing downstairs cursing every day, sending threats and whatnot.


    Calling the police was useless since there was not much you could do if someone decided to act shamelessly.


    The doctor¡¯s child was cursed at school, his wife didn¡¯t dare to go to work, and the family, with no other choice, had to move.


    But that group of fans still wouldn¡¯t let up, and ultimately, under the pressure of public opinion, that doctor jumped off a building.


    In the end, that celebrity¡¯s reputation was destroyed, disgraced, and it seemed the fans were finally satisfied with the outcome.


    So sometimes, treating celebrities could be more troublesome than treating leaders, as many fans don¡¯t understand the reality of the situation, either due to their young age or lack of capacity to correctly assess the circumstances, which is why such incidents are not uncommon.


    Lately, celebrities have gotten smarter about seeking medical care, doing so covertly, or going abroad for treatment, lest they harm themselves and others. After all, celebrities might not think so far, but public opinion always wants a topic.


    Celebrities are just tools for generating buzz, leveraging their influence for others.


    So treating celebrities is like this, if it¡¯s a minor illness, everyone rushes to cure it ¨C success brings fame, but with major illnesses, they shy away from treating ¨C a failure can ruin everything.


    At that moment, the office of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery was also packed with people ¡ª doctors, leaders, and related personnel. At this time, Chen Cang also saw Xing Yu, sitting on a chair with his right hand resting on the table, his wrist wrapped in thick gauze, his face hidden under the brim of a hat, his expression unknown.


    Chen Cang went over and greeted Zhang Keqin, then nodded at Tan Zhonglin.


    When Tan Zhonglin saw Chen Cang, he couldn¡¯t help but give a meaningful glance. Seeing that Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand, he came over, glaring, and said, ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    Chen Cang shrugged helplessly, ¡°The dean dragged me over.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin understood; with the incident occurring in Anyang City, the leaders needed to ensure that the image and face-saving measures were well executed.


    However, Tan Zhonglin looked at Chen Cang, glanced around a few times, then pulled Chen Cang to a corner, looking serious and whispered, ¡°Listen, Chen, whatever you do, don¡¯t try to show off this time! This isn¡¯t the moment for heroics.¡±


    ¡°This isn¡¯t just anybody, it¡¯s a celebrity. If you don¡¯t sew it up right, you can forget about being a doctor in the future, even leading a peaceful life will be tough, remember that! Don¡¯t try to show off!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Director Tan, I¡¯m not some young hotshot who jumps at stirring things up.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin was still not reassured and gave a few more cautions, ¡°Hmm, in a while I¡¯ll go and do the debridement. They also don¡¯t trust us to do the job, and are waiting for outside experts. Once they arrive, we¡¯ll discuss how to proceed with the surgery.¡±


    ¡°Just treat this as a learning experience, watch more, talk less!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re only 27 years old, you¡¯ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, remember my words!¡±


    Tan Zhonglin seemed still worried, giving Chen Cang a few wary glances before turning to leave.


    Chen Cang smiled, his heart still feeling warm.


    Whether it was Tan Zhonglin or Qin Xiaoyuan, they were both just worried about him being too youthful and impetuous.

 Chapter 255 - Chapter 255: Chapter 256: Simulated Stone? (Extra for 7500 monthly passes)

    Chapter 255: Chapter 256: Simulated Stone? (Extra for 7500 monthly passes)


    From the moment Chen Cang entered the office, he sensed a repressive atmosphere. Everyone was deep in thought, tangled in their concerns.


    The agent was contacting the company, and the company was contacting the insurance company.


    The person in charge of this performance¡¯s organizing committee was beside himself with worry, who knew how such a big light could malfunction?


    Gradually, experts from the major hospitals in Anyang City in the field of hand surgery entered the office.


    Seated there, Xing Yu thought about the day¡¯s events, and he couldn¡¯t help but shudder with residual fear. It wasn¡¯t just his hand at stake; he had nearly lost his life. With this thought, he sighed involuntarily but reflected on his hands and couldn¡¯t help but give a bitter smile. How crucial are a pair of hands for a pianist?


    One didn¡¯t need to think twice to know!


    Whenever Xing Yu dwelt on this, he dared not let his thoughts wander further. Could it be that his career was over just as it had begun?


    Alas¡­


    At that moment, the phone rang. He saw it was his wife calling.


    As soon as Xing Yu picked it up, he heard a child¡¯s voice tinged with sobs: ¡°Daddy¡­ Daddy¡­ Are you all right?¡±


    With a smile, Xing Yu replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine, Tian Tian. Daddy¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry. Without Daddy at home, you have to take good care of Mommy. You¡¯re a little man, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    The little boy: ¡°But Mommy and I saw on the news that you were hit by a light¡­ It looked painful, are you really okay, Daddy? We¡¯re at the airport right now.¡±


    Xing Yu was startled: ¡°Tian Tian, hand the phone to your mom.¡±


    After hearing his wife speak, Xing Yu¡¯s voice grew stern: ¡°Why did you bring the child here?¡±


    The other party: ¡°The child insisted on coming. He was crying and making a fuss, and I couldn¡¯t stop him. I¡¯m also very worried about you. What¡¯s the situation? Is it serious?¡±


    Xing Yu shook his head: ¡°It was an accident. A light suddenly fell, I reacted quickly and wasn¡¯t hit, but I got a few cuts from the flying glass. It¡¯s not a big problem, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Tan Zhonglin said, ¡°Mr. Xing, let¡¯s go get your wounds cleaned up first. We¡¯ll do all the necessary checks. We shouldn¡¯t waste all our time here, right?¡±


    The person in charge from the organizing side, Zhu Zhiyi, agreed, ¡°Yes, Mr. Xing, let¡¯s proceed with active treatment, or else by the time the experts arrive and we begin the examination, it will be too late!¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, we will take full responsibility for this incident!¡±


    The agent, Xing Yu¡¯s younger sister, Xing Li Ping, was about to say something when Xing Yu stood up and nodded, ¡°Well then, thank you for your help, Director Tan.¡±


    As they talked, a group made their way to the treatment room. But with so many people, how could they all fit into such a tiny space?


    Tan Zhonglin decisively said, ¡°Aside from the experts, I kindly ask everyone else to wait outside. Xiao Chen, help me out.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin efficiently arranged everything.


    Chen Cang was slightly startled and casually picked up a white coat from a chair, put it on, and followed Tan Zhonglin into the treatment room.


    Tan Zhonglin glanced at everyone and said, ¡°Let¡¯s all have a look at the situation. Xiao Chen, pass me the dressing pack.¡±


    Having spoken, Tan Zhonglin carefully cut the bandage wrapped around the back of the hand with scissors.


    The wound was suddenly exposed!


    Glass shards had not been completely removed and were still embedded in the wound, with a large area of mangled flesh on the back of the hand.


    And most critically, glass was embedded on the radial side of the wrist and back of the hand, which was by no means a trivial spot!


    Tan Zhonglin and the surrounding directors frowned slightly.


    Anatomically, this area was referred to as the ¡°snuffbox¡± region, located on the radial side of the wrist and back of the hand, with dense distribution of nerves, blood vessels, and tendons!


    Radial boundaries were marked by the tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis; the ulnar border by the extensor pollicis longus tendon; the proximal border by the radial styloid process; and the floor by the scaphoid and trapezium bones, with blood vessels and nerves passing through this area.


    A small area packed with one nerve, two blood vessels, three tendons, and four bones.


    Apart from the snuffbox injury, there were two fascial spaces on the back of the hand, which could become major factors in exacerbating the patient¡¯s condition and could also hinder rehabilitation efforts later on!


    Because the extensor tendons and intertendinous connections, along with the deep fascia, form the dorsal carpal fascia, the superficial aspect is the subcutaneous space on the back of the hand, while the deep aspect is the subspace under the tendon sheath.


    The subcutaneous space is rich in subcutaneous venous networks, superficial lymphatic vessels, and dorsal cutaneous nerves of the hand. The subspace under the tendon sheath often communicates with the subcutaneous space on the back of the hand, allowing infections to spread to each other, which can easily lead to complications in the snuffbox area.


    After suturing the tendon, the infection between the two fascial spaces can quickly spread to the suture area, meaning that the probability of adhesion is over ninety percent!


    Before the debridement even began, worry was etched on the faces of all the chiefs!


    If it were an ordinary person, this would be of little concern, as adhesions are common, suturing is straightforward, and debridement is not troublesome.


    But the patient in question is a pianist, the current rising star ¡°Prince of Piano,¡± Xing Yu¡ªwho has a bit of fame both domestically and internationally!


    At only 33 years old, Xing Yu had just received the highest Polish ¡°Honorary Art¡± cultural medal, the Gold Medal of Honor, and his future seemed boundless!


    His right hand post-adhesion¡­ he wouldn¡¯t even be able to compare to an ordinary person, let alone play the piano!


    One could say that if the surgery were not successful, his career would be over!


    With this in mind, all the experts couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply.


    However, worrying too much was useless, Tan Zhonglin needed to do what had to be done, and wounds needed to be handled quickly.


    ¡°Chen Cang, open a bottle of saline solution and flush it.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, opened a bottle of saline solution, set it up on the irrigator, and began flushing.


    Then came the hydrogen peroxide


    ¡­


    Gradually, the wound was exposed!


    Tan Zhonglin, using tweezers, directly removed the glass shards. There was some additional damage, but it was not severe.


    And Chen Cang, who was assisting with the dressing change, witnessed a scene before his eyes!


    [Pianist¡¯s damaged tendon: Royal level, lv45, severe tendon injury with infection in the dorsal carpal fascial space making post-healing very difficult. The probability of adhesion is up to ninety percent. Due to his professional characteristics, it is automatically promoted to Royal level, and the difficulty of surgery increases. Healing requirement: no adhesion!]


    Chen Cang was immediately stunned!


    He finally understood why the injury was classified as Royal level; the standards were different!


    If it were just the wound of most people, this would at most be classified as an elite monster, and might not even qualify as a boss, but this surgery was particularly critical for Xing Yu¡¯s career.


    To suture the tendons without adhesions, the difficulty skyrocketed exponentially¡ªit definitely wasn¡¯t a simple task.


    It was nowhere near that easy!


    Chen Cang could unequivocally say that he couldn¡¯t guarantee success himself!


    Desiring no adhesion meant there was only one chance for surgery. If it were not handled well the first time, a second surgery would definitely not result in no adhesion.


    Moreover, the severe risk of infection on the back of the hand increased the likelihood of adhesion in the ¡°snuffbox¡± area even more!


    Suddenly, Chen Cang thought of a treasure he possessed!


    [Simulation stone!]


    Chen Cang now hesitated. Should he give it a try?


    After some thought, he still hadn¡¯t decided. He¡¯d wait and see because, after all, there were many other experts present. The Hand Surgery Department of the Sixth Hospital in Magic City was nationally top-ranked.


    If he attempted to intervene, they certainly wouldn¡¯t trust him!


    ps: Hehe, as of today, all promised extra updates for donations have been delivered, and the 7500 ticket quota for extra monthly updates has also been met. Comrades, you really need to step up¡­


    Here¡¯s the extra update policy: +1 chapter for Hall Masters, +2 for Grandmasters, +3 for Alliance Hierarchs, and +1 chapter for every 500 monthly tickets. The minimum is three updates per day.

 Chapter 256 - Chapter 256: Chapter 257: A Gathering of Heroes!

    Chapter 256: Chapter 257: A Gathering of Heroes!


    ¡°`


    The news of Xing Yu¡¯s injury still caused quite a stir within the circle, as a group of gossip media reporters, like cats smelling fish, all flocked to this city that was not usually in the entertainment industry¡¯s spotlight, Anyang City.


    The Hand Surgery Department of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, where the Anyang city government had specially arranged for police to control the situation, was not letting the news leak out.


    After all, the cause of Xing Yu¡¯s injury was unclear, and no matter whether it was the event organizer¡¯s responsibility or some other messy reason, the leaders did not want to see news that could tarnish Anyang¡¯s reputation.


    Four hours had passed since Xing Yu was injured, and during those hours, Xing Yu had completed debridement and all necessary check-ups and tests.


    After Tan Zhonglin finished stitching up the blood vessels and nerves, they waited for the experts to arrive!


    The deputy general manager of Xing Yu¡¯s company personally came to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital of Dongyang Province, accompanied by the manager of the insurance company.


    Xing Yu¡¯s hands were insured for tens of millions in value, and now that they were damaged like this, the insurance company felt like crying!


    Therefore, the manager responsible for Xing Yu¡¯s case also followed.


    Should anything happen to Xing Yu¡¯s hands, the potential compensation could be as high as hundreds of millions!


    This figure even started to make the insurance company tremble!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At three in the afternoon, with the arrival of one big name after another in the field of hand surgery, the threshold of the doctors¡¯ office at Provincial People¡¯s Hospital got higher and higher, with no entry for anyone below the rank of chief.


    At the elevator and staircase entrances, patients could only enter the hospital with an employee¡¯s approval, otherwise, they were strictly prohibited from entering.


    In the doctors¡¯ office, which usually accommodated all the staff for shift changes, now sat more than twenty highly esteemed individuals, all with furrowed brows, discussing the patient¡¯s condition.


    Xing Yu¡¯s wife and children waited in the director¡¯s office, while the deputy general manager of Xing Yu¡¯s company and the insurance manager sat beside Xing Yu, patiently listening to the opinions of numerous experts.


    The invited experts included Wang Yushan, the president of the Sixth Hospital in Modu City, Chang Honglei, the chief of Hand Surgery at Capital Jishuitan Hospital, and Professor Yu Jianbai, deputy chief physician of hand surgery at Nantong Hospital in Jiangsu Province¡­


    It could be said that for the rescue of Xing Yu¡¯s hands, several of the most influential figures in the national field of hand surgery had been invited!


    Professor Tang, who created the Tang¡¯s suturing method, was attending a conference in Europe and couldn¡¯t make it in time, so the deputy chief of his department, Yu Jianbai, came in his place.


    But Chen Cang was the youngest doctor in the office, and if it weren¡¯t for Tan Zhonglin¡¯s insistence, he wouldn¡¯t have been allowed to stay.


    On the large screen were photos of Xing Yu¡¯s wounds, and everyone needed to quickly discuss and determine the best suturing method, and provide the optimal treatment strategy and plan.


    Yet, no one spoke at the scene.


    The snuff bottle area was already a particularly challenging area, and coupled with significant damage in the dorsal hand tendon sheath interval, proper healing was definitely a concern for the future.


    Wang Yushan, seeing everyone around him remaining silent, knew that if he did not speak up, the silence might last for a long time. He cleared his throat and said loudly, ¡°Well¡­ colleagues, I won¡¯t be shy, I¡¯ll go first and state my opinion to spark further discussion.¡±


    Everyone nodded in agreement. They often communicated with each other and basically met once a year. As members of the Hand Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, they were familiar with each other and could call out each other¡¯s names.


    Wang Yushan, Chang Honglei, and others were standing committee members of the Hand Surgery Branch, vice-chairpersons, at the same level as Professor Tang of Nanchang University Affiliated Hospital.


    Wang Yushan looked at everyone and said solemnly, ¡°Now that you all understand Mr. Xing¡¯s condition, I won¡¯t dwell on how difficult it is. Let me get straight to my thoughts and countermeasures.¡±


    ¡°Regarding the current situation, the most important aspect of suturing three tendons in the hand is to prevent adhesions. However, if we only focus on preventing adhesions, using the Bunnell suture would be quite good, but its operation is difficult, and it¡¯s not suitable for patients with severe dorsum injuries. The six-strand suturing method of Tang is obviously no longer suitable for flexor tendons¡­¡± After Wang Yushan¡¯s detailed analysis, he continued, ¡°I think the chances of preventing adhesions are now less than sixty percent!¡±


    ¡°This does not even take into account the inflammatory injuries brought by rehabilitation, as well as the patient¡¯s own tendinitis¡­¡±


    ¡°`


    Everyone nodded slightly.


    Every profession has its occupational diseases!


    Playing the piano might seem glamorous, but every pianist needs to regularly care for and maintain their hands.


    Yet, even so, tendon sheath inflammation is a topic that can¡¯t be avoided!


    Xing Yu had tendon sheath inflammation, and not just in one place¡ªit often recurred.


    For hands that play the piano, tendon sheath inflammation can¡¯t be recklessly treated with steroid injections, and surgery is even more risky.


    Now, these would become factors that could affect the success of the surgery!


    Upon hearing this, Xing Yu couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh.


    Chang Honglei nodded, ¡°Mmm, Director Wang¡¯s point is very valid, I feel the same way, but I have a small suggestion. We could try using the M-Tang method. I remember Professor Yu¡¯s latest research on M-tang is targeted for these types of adhesions¡­¡±


    After Wang Yushan started off, everyone began discussing amongst themselves. Chen Cang didn¡¯t speak, and listened intently; their understanding of tendon suturing was fairly profound.


    However, Chen Cang was different now than before; he could even pick out their deficiencies. But even when he recognized these, he remained silent; he was no fool.


    Time passed, second by second.


    The group still hadn¡¯t come to a unified consensus.


    Neither unified nor opposed!


    This became the most awkward and terrifying situation.


    Seeing this made Xing Yu and the others beside him feel anxious.


    The company¡¯s vice president said directly, ¡°Experts, we don¡¯t understand what treatment is better, and I know that in this situation, nobody wants to take responsibility. But I hope everyone can give us a relatively prudent plan, or tell us what the success rate and cure rate are after treatment!¡±


    Xing Yu also nodded seriously, ¡°Yes, directors and experts, just do your best. There¡¯s no need to put pressure on everyone. I understand my condition, so just give us a plan with whatever confidence level you have, and I¡¯ll make my own choice. I won¡¯t trouble anyone, I guarantee it here!¡±


    Wang Yushan and others exchanged glances, after a moment.


    Wang Yushan said, ¡°I can guarantee a fifty percent cure rate! An eighty percent chance of significant improvement.¡±


    Cure rate and treatment rate are two totally different concepts. In the field of medicine, there are several different standards for treatment outcomes, which are based on comprehensive indicators for the convenience of future research. They are: cured, significant improvement, effective, and ineffective.


    ¡°Cured¡± refers to complete recovery, while ¡°significant improvement¡± and ¡°effective¡± indicate certain deficiencies in some areas, with various indicators falling short.


    When Wang Baoshan said this, everyone was slightly startled!


    Even Chang Honglei was somewhat surprised¡ªhow could it be so high?


    She could only guarantee a thirty to forty percent cure rate; there were too many risk factors to expect no adhesions.


    It¡¯s hard to make a one hundred percent estimate!


    Such estimates are based on their sufficient understanding of the disease.


    It is an issue of experience, but also of ability!


    ¡­

 Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: Chapter 258: Eh? Arent you Chen Cang?!

    Chapter 257: Chapter 258: Eh? Aren¡¯t you Chen Cang?!


    Chang Honglei looked at Xing Yu. ¡°I only have a forty percent chance of healing, and that¡¯s only if you can complete a month of comprehensive rehabilitation at our hospital. In fact, the concept of cure is difficult to delineate accurately because we can only judge based on the information we have and our experience. Although we only have a forty percent success rate, I can guarantee the rate of tendon healing during the process, the early anti-tensile strength of the tendon, and so on¡­¡±


    Actually, at this time, the healing rate has become a reflection of all doctors¡¯ abilities!


    At their level, it¡¯s not about making empty promises, but about judging one¡¯s confidence based on experience.


    Every doctor has an internal scale, an approximate gauge for the healing of diseases.


    Take Tan Zhonglin, for example. Right now, he¡¯s feeling incredibly anxious, sensing that his healing rate is less than ten percent.


    But can he say that?


    Of course not!


    Yet, he dares not overstate it either!


    After all, medical treatment is no joke. Based on his past experience with tendon suturing, out of twenty similar patients he treated, the success rate might only be about five to seven percent at most. He wouldn¡¯t dare to guarantee anything higher, as there might not even be one successful case out of ten.


    Looking at Wang Yushan and Chang Honglei¡¯s fourteen to fifty percent, Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but feel a whirlwind of emotions, tinged with a bit of shame.


    But this kind of thing, when the healing rate exceeds twenty percent, relies not just on experience but also on talent!


    Although Tan Zhonglin¡¯s healing rate was less than ten percent, his efficiency could reach above ninety-five percent, with a significant recovery occupying more than eighty percent.


    Tendon suturing, to put it bluntly, is something everyone can do, but the level of skill varies, the technique varies, and naturally, the results vary.


    Tan Zhonglin believed that he had dedicated his life to this field and had gained some insights, but still, the complexity and difficulty of the patients he saw were ultimately no match for those in bigger hospitals.


    Of course, there were many reasons, and besides personal factors, the environment was the most important!


    The patients around you determine your level and abilities as a doctor!


    Hospitals in places like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have one thing in common: they tend to specialize in common diseases and may study a minor ailment to the extreme.


    Whereas in the relatively backward province of Dongyang, they are still satisfying basic needs; pursuing spiritual enjoyment and a higher level of aspiration hasn¡¯t reached that point yet.


    This is like developed cities catering to people¡¯s higher-level needs, while ordinary cities cater to the general needs of the masses.


    So this is also a reason for the disparity!


    In the capital, there may be a larger number of patients pursuing high-end service and demanding care for tendon injuries, resulting in a wealth of experience.


    In Dongyang, most are still seeking a general effectiveness, just enough to not impact daily life.


    The differences are significant, and so are the gaps in spending, with the cost of surgery potentially varying by several times.


    This has led to doctors in different regions having different specializations and expertise in certain diseases.


    With time, the fields they excel in, directions, and characteristics have gradually begun to differ.


    Tan Zhonglin suddenly looked at Chen Cang, who was pondering at one side, and became curiously, wondering what Chen¡¯s healing rate was.


    At this thought, Tan Zhonglin chuckled to himself and shook his head. How old was Chen? If Chen Cang were a decade older, he too could make his mark on such a stage.


    Tan Zhonglin sighed. He was too anxious. Young people must remember not to be reckless. However, Tan Zhonglin estimated that if Chen Cang chose the right path, he would at least reach the same level as Wang Yushan and Chang Honglei in the future.


    Anyang wouldn¡¯t be able to keep him after all!


    After everyone had spoken, Xing Yu became somewhat silent. The highest probability of healing given was only fifty percent!


    This meant that there was a fifty percent chance he would not be able to play the piano in the future!


    For a pianist, this was as agonizing as having been killed!


    The very thing you take the most pride in, that which has defined your honors, might suddenly disappear, and the pain of this is worse than cutting flesh or scraping bones!


    Chen Cang stood there, wondering what his own healing rate was.


    Perhaps there¡¯s a sixty percent chance?


    But without absolute certainty, Chen Cang would never take the lead.


    Forget it, it¡¯s probably better not to get involved. A level 40 tendon monster isn¡¯t worth it. With the system¡¯s support, why worry about not having a chance to turn things around?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang still felt one mustn¡¯t be hasty like a dog!


    After all.


    The journey is long and winding, I shall venture through ups and downs before showing off my skills!


    Xing Yu hesitated for a long time, after consulting with the vice president of the agency and negotiating with the insurance company, it seemed there weren¡¯t many options left.


    The best treatment now was Wang Yushan¡¯s treatment plan!


    With that thought, Xing Yu gave a wry smile, ¡°So I really don¡¯t have a choice, do I?¡±


    The others were silent; they were doctors, able to offer only these treatment plans. As for how the patient chooses, that was up to the patient themselves.


    Xing Yu nodded, rose, and bowed slightly, ¡°Directors, I¡¯ll have to trouble you all, let¡¯s prepare for the surgery!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After all, being in the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, no matter what, Tan Zhonglin still had to participate.


    The final surgical team was confirmed: Wang Yushan as the chief surgeon, Chang Honglei assisting, and Tan Zhonglin helping.


    The other directors headed to the conference room outside the operating room to watch the live broadcast of the surgery.


    Chen Cang also wanted to see what a master¡¯s surgery was like; frankly, he had never seen a great surgeon do tendon suturing, so it would be good to check it out.


    Too bad he couldn¡¯t be there in person; the feeling would have been much more real!


    And he would have learned a lot more.


    Just as Chen Cang was about to follow others to the conference room, Tan Zhonglin suddenly called out to him, ¡°Chen, follow me to the Operating Room later.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin¡¯s direction didn¡¯t surprise Wang Yushan and Chang Honglei. After all, it was his turf, and it was understandable to call someone over. It must be one of Tan Zhonglin¡¯s students.


    However, Tan Zhonglin was really good to his students.


    As Wang Yushan turned to look at Chen Cang, he suddenly froze, ¡°Eh? You¡­ you look familiar!¡±


    After over a month, Wang Yushan felt Chen Cang looked familiar but couldn¡¯t recall where he had seen him.


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°Director Wang, hello, I am Chen Cang.¡±


    Wang Yushan clapped his hands with joy, ¡°Ah, that¡¯s why you looked familiar! I didn¡¯t expect to meet you on such an occasion, haha, what a coincidence!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve admired Director Wang for a long time. It¡¯s an honor to observe the surgery up close today.¡±


    Wang Yushan laughed heartily, ¡°The operation you performed for us last time was truly exciting! Come on, let¡¯s go to the Operating Room together, how about you lend a hand, act as an assistant?¡±


    ¡°Director Tan, is¡­ is Chen your student? No wonder he has such excellent flap transplantation skills!¡±


    Wang Yushan¡¯s words left Tan Zhonglin in a haze, uncertain about what he was talking about.


    Tan Zhonglin smiled, ¡°Director Wang, you misunderstand. Chen is also good at tendon suturing. We frequently exchange with the Second Provincial Hospital. Chen is very promising. I wanted him to observe the surgery. As for taking part, there¡¯s no need; he¡¯s still young!¡±


    Wang Yushan smiled, understanding Tan Zhonglin¡¯s intention. He would have done the same for Wang Yushan, after all.


    An excellent junior is someone everyone would protect wholeheartedly.


    No one would willingly take their own student to a controversial surgery.

 Chapter 258 - Chapter 258: Chapter 259: Sudden Change!

    Chapter 258: Chapter 259: Sudden Change!


    In the operating room, Chen Cang was no longer a stranger, and the young nurse smiled at him with squinted eyes when she saw him.


    Chen Cang felt honored and quickly reciprocated with a smile.


    However¡­ why did that nurse always seem to have teardrops in her eyes?


    Xing Yu¡¯s assistants, relatives, and the company¡¯s staff were not allowed to enter the operating room, to ensure the smooth progression of the surgery.


    After the anesthesia, the surgery began promptly.


    Wang Yushan¡¯s movements were clean and decisive without any superfluous actions. Compared to himself¡­


    There was less flashiness but more efficiency.


    Chen Cang seemed to discover that he had many unnecessary movements during surgery.


    It wasn¡¯t that these movements were beneficial, but rather that eliminating them could reduce interference with the surgery and invisibly improve its stability.


    And Chang Honglei was the most cooperative. Her coordination with Wang Yushan was very strong, the two of them basically achieved seamless transitions, and Director Tan Zhonglin was no exception, each displaying their brilliance!


    The trio¡¯s surgery provided a thrilling and exhilarating pleasure!


    Chen Cang was extremely energized watching from his spot.


    There is a big difference between watching videos and observing on-site.


    It¡¯s like watching a football game. Television might give a clearer picture, a macro perspective, commentary, and so on¡­


    But the atmosphere and impact of being there in person are something you can never experience through a screen.


    So, being brought into the operating room by Tan Zhonglin, Chen Cang was very grateful.


    In the operating room, the three worked methodically. Before suturing the tendon, all surrounding damaged tissue must be completely cleared!


    Because these are potential sources of future adhesions.


    At this moment, Director Chang Honglei¡¯s capabilities were evident. She was precise in handling details, micro-manipulations, and the various influencing factors, essentially considering every element that could affect adhesions!


    In this respect, Wang Yong and Director Chang had some similarities.


    In fact, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Only when we magnify our strengths and continuously improve can our true value be realized.


    Having spent some time together recently, Chen Cang realized that Wang Yong had a precise grasp of details. During the initial learning of the small incision, Wang Yong was the first to master it. It was not only because he had more exposure, but also because Wang Yong was very attentive to details and adept at contemplating them!


    At this time, Chen Cang felt a sense of regretful exasperation for the surgeons at the Second Provincial Hospital; after more than a month, wasn¡¯t there a single person who had learned minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques?


    The hospital¡¯s research project was about to be approved, and this group still had not learned; who would take on the project then?


    The most crucial thing was that his own reward had yet to materialize¡­


    In the conference room outside, everyone was watching the surgery video, discussing it amongst themselves. The only advantage here was the abundance of people, which facilitated mutual consultation and discussion.


    Such an atmosphere was quite nice as well.


    The surgery continued normally.


    Chen Cang felt confident that if they continued at this pace, they would be successful.


    However, the most critical part, the tendon suturing, had not yet begun.


    Chen Cang was also eager to know which suturing technique Director Wang Yushan would use.


    The three tendons were respectively delineated as the radial border with the extensor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis tendons; the ulnar border with the extensor pollicis longus tendon.


    These three tendons determine about sixty to seventy percent of the thumb¡¯s functionality, and the thumb is the most, most, most important finger. Without the thumb, ninety percent of everyday tasks can¡¯t be done. You can try it¡ªwhat can you do without your thumb?


    The tendon of the abductor pollicis longus is relatively thick, and the choice of suture must take into account factors such as the tension in the abductor pollicis longus.


    After all, it is necessary to consider the tendon¡¯s repair process during early movement and exercise. If a two-strand suture is used, such as the Kessler and Tsuge methods, there is a high probability of rupture, which would not meet the requirements for early postoperative active and passive exercises.


    However, four-strand, six-strand, or even eight-strand sutures can be used.


    Of course, more is not necessarily better. As long as it meets the requirement for early exercises, that¡¯s enough¡ªbasically, four strands are adequate.


    Selecting a simple suture method that maintains the mechanical properties of a multi-strand group suture is the optimal choice.


    Wang Yushan used the Bunnell suture method for the first tendon, which is very good because it doesn¡¯t leave foreign bodies inside the tendon, preventing adhesions within the tendon, but¡­ this type of suture is quite complex, and it demands a high level of skill from the surgeon!


    As he took the double-needled tendon suture, Wang Yushan held his breath, inserted the needle obliquely towards the far end from one side of the tendon, passing through the tendon center and emerging on the opposite side¡ªall these actions had to be seamless.


    Even he did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent!


    To tell the truth, at this time, although others perceived Wang Yushan to be calm and composed, he was actually extremely uneasy on the inside. It felt like defusing a bomb!


    He had to be careful and cautious, as a tiny misstep could lead to a grave error.


    The breathing of the three people was very subtle, feeling the touch transmitted from the tendon, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s eyes were meticulous.


    This suture technique yielded a repaired tendon junction with high tensile strength, but a moment¡¯s inattention could cause a narrowing at the tendon¡¯s suture point, resulting in poor local blood supply, which would in turn be detrimental to tendon healing.


    Therefore, all three of them had to be extremely cautious!


    ¡°Director Chang, pull it a bit, let me feel it,¡± Wang Yushan said.


    Chang Honglei nodded, tugged gently with the tweezers, felt for a moment and said, ¡°Director Tan, you cut the suture ends, pull on the right side.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin nodded and was about to pull when he suddenly felt an empty sensation!


    A tiny plop, barely audible, but all three heard it!


    This faint sound, however, exploded like a thunderclap in the minds of the three surgeons.


    The three, originally prepared to proceed with the operation, instantly dared not move!


    The tendon had sustained a second-degree injury, and the suture had broken!


    They had already seen that there was a crack in the area where the tendon was being sutured, which was not there originally. However, during suturing, the suture needle could also damage the tendon! This kind of injury might often be negligible, but at this moment¡­ a problem had occurred.


    Another reason could be tendinitis.


    The tendon, after long-term excessive friction inside the tendon sheath, became swollen, causing chronic injurious inflammation of the tendon and tendon sheath.


    Wang Yushan spoke gravely, ¡°Xing Yu often plays the piano, and his thumb moves frequently. The radial styloid process has a narrowing tendinitis, and the suturing just now already had problems. Our choice wasn¡¯t quite right!¡±


    This acknowledgment that something wasn¡¯t quite right sent a shiver down everyone¡¯s spine!


    Just a few simple words had reduced the success rate of the surgery to well below eleven percent!


    Xing Yu, seeing the expressions on their faces, couldn¡¯t help but be startled¡­


    ¡°Director, I¡­¡±


    Looking at the serious faces of the three, with worry filling their eyes, Xing Yu felt like his heart had plunged into the abyss.


    This was just one problem after another!

 Chapter 261 - Chapter 261: Chapter 262: Play a Song at Your Wedding (5000-word mega chapter)

    Chapter 261: Chapter 262: Play a Song at Your Wedding (5000-word mega chapter)


    Chang Honglei was the director of hand surgery at Jishuitan Hospital and also the vice-chair of the Chinese Medical Association¡¯s Hand Surgery Subsociety, making her the sole female chair within the hand surgery society.


    In the field of surgical operations, there are very few women who manage to reach such a high rank.


    Of course, this isn¡¯t to say that there are no impressive women in surgery; leaving aside obstetrics and gynecology, which are largely dominated by women with very few men present.


    Apart from obstetrics and gynecology, there are several other departments where women are also prevalent, such as hand surgery, cardiovascular surgery, and so on.


    One might think there are many women in cosmetic surgery given the assumption that women are better with aesthetics, right?


    Well, there might be more women in cosmetic surgery hospitals, but in hospital plastic surgery departments, there are almost none.


    That¡¯s because the tasks they undertake are different.


    Cosmetic surgery hospitals mainly perform minor surgeries that aren¡¯t very intensive, so you might find women working there.


    However, plastic surgery and dermatological surgery in hospitals are almost always combined; some hospitals don¡¯t have a separate dermatological department and simply have a plastic surgery department, while others might make a distinction.


    But plastic surgery operations are generally major surgeries, often lasting several hours, with large operations occasionally working through the night. Women generally can¡¯t handle surgeries that last for over a dozen hours straight.


    Therefore, when selecting graduate students, most mentors don¡¯t choose women¡ªnot because they look down on them, but because the work is just too demanding!


    Hand surgery, however, is a unique department. It¡¯s neither too big nor too small, can be both extensive and minute, falls under the orthopedics system, yet stands alone from orthopedics.


    Some hospitals don¡¯t have a hand surgery department at all. Most comprehensive Grade A hospitals don¡¯t have hand surgery because their specializations aren¡¯t so finely divided.


    Hand surgery mostly deals with tendons, nerves, and blood vessels, and women¡¯s patience and attention to detail are greatly valued in this field. Plus, these surgeries are not very tiring; what matters most is careful precision.


    Thus, this field has given rise to quite a few top-notch female professionals.


    Chang Honglei, as the head of hand surgery at Jishuitan Hospital, had profound expertise in the field of tendons, nerves, and vascular surgery of the hand!


    She had been deeply engaged in tendon suture techniques and methods for many years, performing different levels of analysis for each method, and she believed her understanding of hand tendons had reached a very high standard.


    She hadn¡¯t invented a new surgical technique like Professor Tang because, in her view, surgical methods are endless, and the patterns of disease damage are diverse.


    Rather than exploring complex suture techniques, it was better to maximize the advantages of traditional techniques.


    However, her views weren¡¯t widely accepted over the years because most people fell into the cognitive trap of assuming that the more advanced the surgical method, the more impressive it was. Therefore, they focused on learning top-level techniques while often neglecting in-depth research into fundamental techniques.


    As a result, far fewer people supported Chang Honglei¡¯s philosophy compared to those who idolized Professor Tang.


    After all, the Tang method for treating flexor tendon injuries had now become the international standard, recognized by the European Society for Surgery of the Hand.


    In the academic medical community, one needs articles and data to speak volumes, and Chang Honglei indeed hadn¡¯t been as formidable as Professor Tang over the years.


    ¡°Professor Tang¡¯s Zoning¡± continued to innovate.


    But now, when Chang Honglei witnessed Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of agreement!


    It seemed to align perfectly with her own philosophy!


    Moreover, Chen Cang had truly mastered the use of different suture techniques.


    In this regard, Chang Honglei hadn¡¯t performed as well as Chen Cang.


    A single surgery, three tendons, four suture methods.


    Each tendon injury was treated appropriately, using the best suture method available¡ªisn¡¯t this the direction she had been researching for years?


    At that moment, Chang Honglei couldn¡¯t help but become excited.


    This was what she wanted!


    She suddenly realized that her years of research weren¡¯t in vain; it was just that no one had managed to truly unlock the power of this philosophy.


    But Chen Cang could!


    Today¡¯s surgery showcased his comprehensive display of basic suture techniques and deep understanding, even refining the essence of each technique.


    That was truly impressive.


    With this in mind, Chang Honglei had made up her mind; she would delay her return to Beijing and first have a thorough exchange with Chen Cang.


    She believed that through communication and discussion with Chen Cang, they could bring her philosophy to its fullest potential, creating a genuinely effective guide that could truly help those in need.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Wang Yushan looked at Chen Cang, equally amazed and full of admiration.


    It¡¯s really rare to find someone who can use so many different tendon suture methods so skillfully!


    This requires not only a vast amount of surgical experience but also a deep understanding of tendons and suturing.


    That¡¯s where talent comes in!


    However, the happiest person must be Chang Honglei. Wang Yushan looked at Chang Honglei, ¡°Director Chang, this trip today was well worth it, wasn¡¯t it?¡±


    Chang Honglei certainly knew what Wang Yushan meant and immediately smiled, ¡°It was indeed worth it, with much gained!¡±


    Wang Yushan nodded, ¡°Chen¡¯s surgery really proved that the field you¡¯ve been researching is viable, I think when we have time, we should sit down and properly create a Tendon Suture Guide that belongs to us Chinese. Then, let the European Society for Surgery of the Hand come to China to learn from us!¡±


    Chang Honglei¡¯s face blushed slightly, her expression somewhat longing.


    If only that day would truly come, to elevate our nation¡¯s prestige, to shine our nation¡¯s glory!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Wang Yushan looked at Chen Cang and couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Chen, do you know what I¡¯m thinking now?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, and everyone looked over.


    With a sigh, Wang Yushan looked at Chen Cang, half-serious, half-jokingly said, ¡°I¡¯m thinking of kidnapping you to our hospital, City Hospital Number Six.¡±


    Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.


    Chen Cang grinned, ¡°Director Wang is joking. City Hospital Number Six is teeming with talent, hardly in need of more.¡±


    ¡°Plus, Director Wang, even if I stay in Dongyang, we can still maintain cooperation.¡±


    Wang Yushan nodded. City Hospital Number Six might not lack a young doctor, but wouldn¡¯t turn down a top-tier expert either.


    Talent is always scarce, especially top-tier talent.


    Wang Yushan nodded earnestly, gazing at Chen Cang and said word by word, ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m serious, Chen. When the time comes for you to consult remotely or participate in significant projects, you can¡¯t back out, okay?¡±


    Wang Yushan looked at Chen Cang, fearing he was just making up an excuse.


    Chen Cang smiled, shaking his head and speaking truthfully, ¡°Of course not, I still have so much to learn from Director Wang!¡±


    Chen Cang was being honest. Wang Yushan had many shining points; to put it simply, here was a nearly max-level authority in hand surgery. Even the scraps from his table were enough for Chen Cang to learn for a long time.


    But right now, he didn¡¯t really want to leave the platform of Dongyang Province. It was not easy to have built up the current situation and atmosphere. Although not a large platform, it was the most suitable one for Chen Cang.


    On such a platform, Chen Cang could develop at his own pace, rather than advancing abruptly or being confined to a single industry.


    Emergency medicine is a big stage.


    Chen Cang¡¯s life wouldn¡¯t be limited to hand surgery. Going to City Hospital Number Six might be good for his development in hand surgery, but not necessarily for other departments.


    In Province Hospital Number Two, Chen Cang had the support of Li Baoshan, the backing of Qin Xiaoyuan and Li Jianwei, and the endorsement of the former director Fang Yonglin. His development was essentially secure.


    Add to that his recent enrollment as a postgraduate student, and his transition into a hidden profession, not to mention his anticipation to gain favor with Queen Meng Xi.


    Frankly, now was still the time for him to be low-profile and cunning. Once he secretly leveled up to 99, mastered a plethora of skills, then no matter how vast the world, where couldn¡¯t he go?


    But for now? Chen Cang was very clear about himself. Although he seemed impressive at the moment, upon closer consideration, it was just tendon suture surgery. Not to mention the entire field of surgery, even within hand surgery itself, it was a basic, albeit fundamental, skill. After all, thoracic surgery wasn¡¯t just about esophageal repair either.


    The praises from others were just to be listened to and taken with a smile. He himself knew all too well that there was much more he needed to do, a much longer path he needed to travel.


    To truly become a leading figure, you must have a thorough understanding and high regard for the field!


    Take Director Wang Yushan, for example. Spending his life studying hand surgery diseases, there¡¯s nothing he can¡¯t pick up or let go of easily in hand surgery.


    With long-term experience and technical proficiency, Wang Yushan could handle any hand surgery effortlessly.


    As a renowned doctor, the broader your expertise, the brighter your future, and the safer your patients!


    For instance, Professor Tang became a well-known expert both domestically and internationally not just because he invented the Bunnell method of tendon suturing.


    The Bunnell technique was just something he researched in his thirties.


    Compared to Chen Cang, Professor Tang was far more accomplished; having created the Bunnell method at thirty, it suddenly occurred to Chen Cang whether Professor Tang also had a system?


    Professor Tang¡¯s awesomeness is definitely not limited to just the Tang method of suturing.


    He is most famous in the field of surgery for the flexor tendons of the hand and for wrist joint issues, his expertise also includes the repair of hand tendon injuries, the diagnosis of wrist instability, and the clinical surgical repair of wrist bone and joint injuries, as well as autologous vein grafting for peripheral nerve defects, and so on.


    Just the Tang method?


    In this era, there are countless suturing methods, and the ones that are remembered are all meticulously selected.


    Looking at the admiration in the eyes of Wang Yushan and Chang Honglei, Chen Cang smiled knowingly.


    The path of medicine is long and profound.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Xing Yu¡¯s surgery was already finished, but he hadn¡¯t been taken away yet, sitting there watching a group of big shots bluster about business, he always felt it wasn¡¯t such a bad thing¡­


    Blustering is always better than sighing and lamenting, right?


    If they were all sighing and lamenting at this time, Xing Yu would be the one crying.


    Go ahead and bluster, once you¡¯re done, I have something to ask¡­


    But after waiting for a long time, he noticed that one after another, their tales became more and more outrageous.


    Xing Yu couldn¡¯t hold back any longer, ¡°Excuse me, directors, I want to ask, what are my chances of recovery, and to what extent can I recover? Will it affect my piano playing?¡±


    It was only then that everyone realized the patient hadn¡¯t left yet, and now was not the time for boasting¡­


    Wang Yushan pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Mr. Xing, this is the situation, according to my many years of surgical experience, today¡¯s surgery was very successful! Based on past assessments, there¡¯s at least a ninety percent chance of full recovery.¡±


    ¡°If you add the active rehabilitation during this period, I think it¡¯s highly likely it won¡¯t affect your piano playing.¡±


    Having said this, Wang Yushan, seeing the excitement on Xing Yu¡¯s face, couldn¡¯t help but caution him, ¡°But¡­ Mr. Xing, what I¡¯m talking about is probability and possibility, as you know, medicine itself is full of uncertainties and risks, no one can guarantee a certain outcome, do you understand what I mean?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xing Yu nodded eagerly!


    To be honest, having received an answer like this, Xing Yu was already very content.


    In just one day, Xing Yu¡¯s emotional journey could be said to have hit extreme lows.


    He had even negotiated a claim with the insurance company and obtained a large sum of objective insurance money, but¡­ his professional career had ended.


    Xing Yu had even thought about what he would do afterwards¡­


    But unexpectedly, fate favored him, and the surgery was so successful!


    With these thoughts, Xing Yu couldn¡¯t help but feel extra gratitude, looking at the directors, he stood up and bowed deeply, ¡°Directors, I really can¡¯t thank you enough, to put it plainly, you are my life-savers, these hands¡­ they¡¯re just too important, they¡¯re like my second life. I started playing the piano when I was three, all my life¡­ Ah! I just can¡¯t thank you enough!¡±


    Chang Honglei and the others smiled, ¡°Mr. Xing, you saw the surgery yourself, the person who really helped you is Dr. Chen.¡±


    Xing Yu nodded, turned to look at Chen Cang, and bowed deeply to express his gratitude, saying earnestly, ¡°Dr. Chen, my hands are like a second life to me, I don¡¯t know how to express my feelings, but¡­ no matter what, I will remember this act of kindness, and if you need anything in the future, please call my private number. When you get married, I am willing to come and play blessings for you personally! You will be my best friend.¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly heard.


    [Ding! Xing Yu¡¯s favorability +50.]


    This must be the first superstar he¡¯s gotten to know, right?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang smiled.


    And if outsiders heard Xing Yu¡¯s speech, it would definitely cause a huge stir!


    Having Xing Yu play a piece at a wedding, who could manage that?


    It¡¯s not something you can do by just having money, it¡¯s a form of recognition, an honor.


    Some time ago, Xing Yu was invited to perform at the birthday party of the British royal family¡¯s queen.


    In fact, as a pianist, Xing Yu¡¯s idea of showing gratitude is definitely to perform with all his heart and soul, offering his best wishes during Chen Cang¡¯s happiest moment.


    As for money¡­ Xing Yu was too embarrassed to mention it!


    However, if Chen Cang knew these things, he would probably still hope for something more mundane, after all, everyone is worldly¡­


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Well, it looks like¡­ I may have to wait a while to get married, at least until Mr. Xing¡¯s hand is healed.¡±


    A few words made everyone laugh.


    Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but laugh and shake his head, the kid is as cheeky as ever.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    However, at this moment, the most bustling place was not here but in the conference room outside the operating theater, where various experts were watching the video!


    All the experts in the field of hand surgery from hospitals big and small throughout Anyang City were struck dumb and speechless.


    During the surgery, a new wound was unexpectedly discovered, a wound that could potentially destroy an operation that was on the verge of success.


    This discovery immediately caused everyone¡¯s hearts to sink to the bottom of a valley!


    The probability of the surgery¡¯s success plummeted due to this secondary injury, to a level that was impossible to grasp.


    Who could guarantee a cure at this time?


    Thinking of this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but let out a deep sigh.


    It was such a pity for Xing Yu¡­


    So young, he might have had limitless potential, surpassing his predecessors to become a grandmaster pianist on the world stage.


    What a pity!


    Perhaps, it was simply fate?


    Regretfully, everyone sighed and shook their heads.


    Medicine is like this, often filled with all sorts of uncertainties, who can assure a 100% success rate in surgeries?


    After all, there¡¯s only one chance for an operation.


    At this moment, everyone couldn¡¯t help but feel regretful.


    They could only see the surgical field, completely unaware of who was performing the operation.


    But just when people thought the surgery was doomed to fail, they found that the operation continued!


    The needle holder started moving again!


    This movement reversed the situation and resurrected the surgery from the dead!


    The entire suture process was exhilarating, and it was filled with a sense of beauty, but these were not the most crucial points; the most important aspect was his surgery¡­


    For a moment, everyone began to contemplate.


    Suddenly, someone broke the silence:


    ¡°What kind of suture technique was used on the first tendon?¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen it before¡­¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s not one technique, it¡¯s two!¡±


    ¡°Right! For the small incision, he used the two-strand Kessler technique, and overall, he didn¡¯t re-suture but extended the existing suture line, still using the Bunnell technique! This is¡­ just amazing!¡±


    ¡°Oh my goodness, this¡­ the Bunnell suture itself is difficult, won¡¯t this unconventional use cause problems¡­¡±


    ¡­


    As time passed by, people¡¯s feelings turned from astonishment to amazement, and now to being awestruck and speechless!


    They could only see the field of operation, unaware of who was performing the surgery, thus instinctively assuming it was Wang Yushan!


    ¡°Director Wang truly is amazing!¡±


    ¡°Yes, to be able to use various suturing methods so skillfully is indeed impressive!¡±


    ¡°Right, in one surgery, three tendons, using four different suture methods, and have you noticed? Each method is mastered to its essence, thought-provoking!¡±


    ¡°Hmm, the Sixth Hospital of Modu City, truly formidable!¡±


    ps: Sigh¡­ everyone says my chapters are too short, too quick, I can¡¯t stand it, from now on I shall write longer chapters, one chapter longer than two! Isn¡¯t that great~

 Chapter 262 - Chapter 262: Chapter 263: A Bountiful Harvest... Indeed! (5000 Word Mega Chapter)

    Chapter 262: Chapter 263: A Bountiful Harvest¡­ Indeed! (5000 Word Mega Chapter)


    The surgery concluded.


    Xing Yu followed everyone out of the office. Just as they reached outside the operating room, a crowd immediately surrounded them.


    Among them were Xing Yu¡¯s anxious wife and child.


    There was also Xing Yu¡¯s company¡¯s vice-president, burning with impatience.


    And even more so, the insurance company manager, whose hope was as dead as ashes, yet still awaited a miracle.


    Seeing the doors of the operating room open, the crowd rushed forward.


    ¡°Doctor! How did it go? Was the surgery successful?¡±


    ¡°Doctor¡­ How is Xing Yu?¡±


    In reality, all the insurance manager wanted to ask was if there was still hope.


    If there¡¯s a chance to save him, you must do everything you can¡­ Otherwise, there would be endless troubles¡­ Too complex to describe.


    Chen Cang observed everyone, especially the group of bosses with sorrowful faces full of anticipation.


    Suddenly, he felt being a celebrity might be quite nice; a bunch of people fearing for your illness, hoping for your health, praying all day for you to get better¡­ That feeling didn¡¯t seem too bad¡­


    ¡­


    A cacophony arose from the restless crowd until Wang Yushan spoke loudly, ¡°Everyone, please be quiet. This is a hospital, outside an operating room. Don¡¯t make a racket. Mr. Xing Yu¡¯s surgery was very successful. Everyone, please disperse now.¡±


    That one sentence sounded like the voice of an angel to everyone¡¯s ears.


    Nothing could make them happier than this news.


    It¡¯s great that everything¡¯s fine!


    It¡¯s great that everything¡¯s fine!


    Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


    The crowd escorted Xing Yu back to the ward, while Chen Cang finally received the rewards for this round of tasks on the way back!


    What a bountiful harvest!


    [Ding! Successfully sutured a level 45 King-grade tendon monster, reward obtained: 1. Certificate of Change of Specialty in Hand Surgery, 2. Eye drops x1.]


    [Ding! Completed the emergency rescue task, obtained gratitude gifts: 1. Xing Yu¡¯s gratitude package; 2. Chang Honglei¡¯s gratitude package; 3. Wang Yushan¡¯s gratitude package.]


    [Ding! Daily task completed: Kill a tendon monster above level 40, obtained Tang¡¯s suturing technique intensive training.]


    One after another, the task notifications sounded.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but revel in the feeling that this was truly wonderful.


    The boss was defeated, the tasks were completed, the rewards were tallied, the loot exploded, the front was put up, affection was gained, and he solidified a group of powerful figures. Most crucially, he had a sneaky development without too many people being the wiser.


    Having the home court advantage was indeed comfortable; it would be even more delightful if he could avoid being interviewed by that group of reporters later on.


    Chen Cang did not wish for a loud and widespread notoriety when he was not yet capable of protecting himself; it was better not to be so high-profile.


    When things are done, depart without attachment, keeping achievements and fame hidden.


    This was the feeling of being a super Boss behind the scenes.


    However, what made Chen Cang somewhat disappointed was that his skill¨Cstealing ability hadn¡¯t activated even once. How could this 5% probability not be higher than 1%?


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help suspecting that the system was intentionally going easy¡­


    [Certificate of Change of Specialty in Hand Surgery: Activating it will grant the mission to change specialties to Hand Surgery, and completing the mission will unlock the Hand Surgery skill tree!]


    [Ding! It has been detected that you have already completed two specialty changes in thoracic and cardiac surgeries. In light of the proverb ¡®Grasping too much loses all,¡¯ to improve your development more efficiently and focus, you are currently unable to pursue further specialty changes. Only after your professional level has increased, will you be able to unlock a third specialty.]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    There could be such an operation?


    ¡°`


    But¡­ what does ¡®professional level upgrade¡¯ mean?


    How do I measure my own professional level?


    Chen Cang silently opened the virtual screen and checked his attributes.


    [Chen Cang: Level 27, (Class Changed)


    Profession 1: Thoracic Surgeon: Professional Level: 5 points.


    Profession 2: Cardiac Surgeon: Professional Level: 0 points.


    Hint: For every skill you master, you will receive corresponding professional level points: Primary Skill +1 point; Intermediate Skill +2 points; Advanced Skill +3 points; Master Skill +4 points; Perfect Skill +5 points.


    Hint: A professional skill score of 50 is required to learn fourth-level surgery. A professional skill score of 100 unlocks the third profession.]


    Chen Cang had an epiphany.


    He finally remembered why he couldn¡¯t learn fourth-level surgery last time. It wasn¡¯t because he lacked skill points, but because his professional level wasn¡¯t high enough.


    Upon further thought, Chen Cang could understand.


    After all, fourth-level surgeries can also be referred to as ¡®A-level¡¯ surgeries, which are the most top-notch, challenging, and intense complex operations in various fields.


    Any fourth-level surgery is very risky, involves a wealth of knowledge in its field, and requires mastery of numerous smaller surgical skills, such as the famous fourth-level operation in cardiac surgery: Tetralogy of Fallot correction.


    This is not simply a surgery.


    Tetralogy of Fallot is a complex cyanotic congenital heart defect, which includes four components: ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy. Among these, pulmonary stenosis includes right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, pulmonary valve stenosis, and narrowing of the main pulmonary artery and its left and right branches.


    How much professional knowledge is needed for such an operation? How many individual specialized skills are required? It¡¯s not something that can be learned so easily!


    Chen Cang fell silent, realizing that to learn fourth-level surgery, he would at least need to master more than a dozen advanced skills in his field to score 50 points.


    But that makes sense.


    When you have mastered a dozen ordinary surgeries, you will also have the capability to face fourth-level surgeries. That¡¯s also why fourth-level surgeries require a deputy senior or higher level chief surgeon to perform.


    The journey is long and arduous¡­


    After returning, it¡¯s best to quietly develop!


    He opened the second item.


    [Eye Drops: Purple item, when used, Vision +5; Hint: After applying to your eyes, your vision will permanently increase by fifty percent.]


    Great stuff!


    The importance of vision for surgery goes without saying!


    Many expert surgeons dare not wear masks during operations simply because they are short-sighted. Wearing a mask can easily fog up their vision, leading to significant problems at critical moments.


    Having good vision is too important for those surgeries that require full focus and complete dedication.


    And there are those surgeries that test one¡¯s visual acuity, where being quick and alert is very important!


    A king-level tendon monster finally brought a bountiful harvest!


    Chen Cang was already very satisfied.


    But there were still good things to come.


    That is the three gratitude gift packages.


    [Ding! Opening Xing Yu¡¯s gratitude gift package, congratulations, you have obtained Xing Yu¡¯s piano skill: Nocturne Piano Performance: Advanced.]


    Piano pieces vary greatly, including preludes, concertos, sonatas, fantasias, impromptus, nocturnes, and so on¡­


    Different pieces are mainly used for different occasions, such as large music festivals, symphonies, etc., each with a different style of piano playing.


    Chen Cang acquired Xing Yu¡¯s Nocturne skill.


    Nocturnes, a genre created by the Irish composer Field, are characterized by their free form, sophisticated style, and romantic essence.


    ¡°`


    The style of the piece is slow or medium-paced, with a calm, lyrical, dreamlike melody filled with contemplative tones, or it can be exciting, full of fantasy and passionate fervor, at a faster speed.


    This is a style better suited to expressing emotions and providing comfort.


    One of the more famous examples is the 19 Nocturnes for piano, composed by the ¡°poetic pianist¡± Chopin.


    [Nocturnes Piano Performance: Advanced, Special Effect: Infectiousness (Your performance touches the heart and has a strong infectiousness.)]


    Chen Cang was delighted to have acquired such a skill; if he couldn¡¯t continue in the hospital, he could change careers to become a pianist¡ªhow impressive would that be?


    [Ding! Received Wang Yushan¡¯s Gratitude Gift Pack: Acquired the Peripheral Nerve Anastomosis (Relaxation) Technique: Advanced.]


    [Ding! Received Chang Honglei¡¯s Gratitude Gift Pack: Acquired the Peripheral Vascular Anastomosis of The Hand Technique: Advanced.]


    Both skills were commonly used in the field of hand surgery, and they were decent enough; at least now, even without the skill tree, he was able to handle the basic operations of some hand diseases he encountered on a regular basis.


    Chen Cang suddenly realized that if his hand surgery skill tree was enabled, he probably already had a professional level of about 15 points, while his poor thoracic surgery was at 5 points¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After the group returned to the office, Chen Cang looked at the dense crowd gathered together and already felt inclined to leave.


    As for other people¡¯s praise, Chen Cang didn¡¯t care at all; such things wouldn¡¯t provide him any real reward but would only add to his troubles.


    As for fame¡­


    When a person¡¯s ability isn¡¯t sufficient to support their fame, that¡¯s when trouble arrives.


    As long as Xing Yu remembered him as a benefactor, that would be fine. Those fans¡­ well, fans can be cruel, even turning on their own! (I¡¯m not talking about you all, of course; you aren¡¯t just book fans, you are the boss.)


    Chen Cang found Tan Zhonglin: ¡°Director Tan, I¡¯m ready to head back.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin was taken aback, and after pondering for a moment, said, ¡°Come to the office with me.¡±


    After saying that, Tan Zhonglin took Chen Cang to the director¡¯s office.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, I¡­ have something to tell you,¡± Tan Zhonglin said.


    Chen Cang looked at Tan Zhonglin who seemed secretive and was slightly startled: ¡°Director, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    At that moment, a knock on the door was heard.


    Tan Zhonglin looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you.¡±


    After saying that, Tan Zhonglin got up to open the door.


    There stood Wang Yushan, Chang Honglei, and Xing Yu at the doorstep.


    Tan Zhonglin was surprised: ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Wang Yushan walked in, closed the door behind him, looked at everyone, and then, staring at Chen Cang, said, ¡°Xiao Chen, I brought Xing Yu over because I want to talk to you about something.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s like this, don¡¯t be hasty after you hear me out; just consider my advice. The surgery was performed by you, but we don¡¯t really want you to make a big deal out of it. You know how society is today; if the surgery gets out, you¡¯ll definitely become famous, and you¡¯ll certainly have a lot of surgeries in the future, there¡¯s no doubt about that.¡±


    ¡°But there have been cases like this before¡­ and the development of those people¡­ wasn¡¯t too good. You¡¯re still young, only 27, just starting out in all aspects, and this is also the age when you can improve the fastest. I hope you can use this time to seriously refine yourself, improve yourself, without being disturbed by too many external things.¡±


    ¡°So, what I¡¯m suggesting is to let Xing Yu temporarily keep the details of the surgery confidential, not revealing who performed it¡­ What do you think?¡±


    Wang Yushan truly had Chen Cang¡¯s best interests in mind. Chen Cang was very young, only 27. Early success in medicine isn¡¯t usually a good sign!


    Medicine is different from other things; it¡¯s not about hype.


    If you¡¯re an idol, a singer, you need to ride the wave, to burst into a blaze of glory for a moment.


    But as a doctor, a physician, your main duty is to treat and save lives, every day standing at the surgery table, needing constant acquisition of medical knowledge.


    Wang Yushan had learned from deep experience that the time he made the most progress in his life was before he became famous. Since becoming a director, he had participated in various activities, associations, and so on.


    Indeed, this work was a huge leap for his social and industry influence.


    However¡­ on reflection, Wang Yushan felt that in recent years he had really been resting on his laurels!


    So, Wang Yushan was sincerely advising Chen Cang, hoping he could understand some things; otherwise¡­ if he missed the golden period, it would be too late.


    Of course, Wang Yushan was just saying, but the choice was up to Chen Cang himself. If Chen Cang desired both fame and fortune, Wang Yushan wouldn¡¯t obstruct him much but would rather help him.


    All eyes were on Chen Cang now!


    Chang Honglei also nodded, staring at Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, let me speak from the heart. If you¡¯re willing to be famous, we can all give you a push, but you still need to weigh your options carefully.¡±


    Xing Yu, though a celebrity, also understood certain things. Standing there, after hesitating for a while, he offered his advice:


    ¡°Doctor Chen, maybe I don¡¯t know much about medicine, but personally, I need to practice the piano every day. After becoming famous, my progress has slowed down. I know there are many reasons; first, because of time constraints, and second, because of my own mental pressure. There¡¯s a lot of public commentary; they expect you to improve leaps and bounds every day, but in a technical field, what shortcuts are there? It¡¯s nothing but perseverance and dedication. If you don¡¯t have the strength to match your fame, you¡¯ll end up destroying yourself, and that combined pressure from within and from society is too overwhelming!¡±


    ¡°Secondly, ¡®fame brings trouble¡¯ is something I¡¯ve experienced deeply. Once you¡¯re famous, God knows how many people will be watching you; your every word and action will be amplified, and every move you make will be scrutinized. It¡¯s not a good thing.¡±


    ¡°So, even though I don¡¯t understand medicine, I still think¡­ you¡¯re young and talented, with a limitless future, so¡­ focus on developing yourself. Consider this a friend¡¯s suggestion.¡±


    After listening to everyone, Tan Zhonglin gave an awkward smile, ¡°Xiao Chen, what I was about to discuss with you was exactly this matter.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned; he hadn¡¯t planned on becoming famous at all!


    But hearing everyone¡¯s advice, he couldn¡¯t help but smile gratefully, scratching his head and saying, ¡°Thank you all, teachers, and Mr. Xing. I understand what you mean. I didn¡¯t intend to become famous¡­ I was actually planning to slip away quietly¡­¡±


    Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.


    Chen Cang was truly a guy impossible to dislike.


    Wang Yushan nodded, looking at Chen Cang with satisfaction. It¡¯s very hard for someone so young to give up on fame and fortune; not everyone has the conditions for a comfortable life, nor does everyone have a calm heart.


    People are different; Wang Yushan asked himself if he could have resisted such temptation in his youth?


    He couldn¡¯t guarantee it!


    With age comes experience; only then do you gain this perspective, but when you¡¯re young, how could you understand this?


    Yet Chen Cang could do it, his maturity and willpower were much stronger than his own.


    Thinking this, Wang Yushan patted Chen Cang on the shoulder, smiling, ¡°Xiao Chen! Keep at it, and if nothing unexpected happens, your future will surely surpass all of us here.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin hesitated, ¡°What if someone asks later who performed the surgery?¡±


    Wang Yushan smiled faintly, ¡°Just say it¡¯s confidential!¡±


    The senior directors exchanged smiles.


    Xing Yu looked at Chen Cang and said with a smile, ¡°Doctor Chen, you don¡¯t have to call me ¡®Mr. Xing¡¯ anymore. I¡¯m only a few years older than you. Just call me Xing Ge. I¡¯ll call you Xiao Chen. I can¡¯t always be calling you ¡®Doctor Chen,¡¯ it sounds odd.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Alright!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Wang Yushan turned and said, ¡°Oh yes, there¡¯s one more thing. Xiao Chen, I¡¯ll send you a form later. When you go home today, send me your information. I¡¯ll have my assistant fill out an application for you. Let¡¯s add you to the Hand Surgery Society this year; just in time to attend the annual meeting at the end of the year.¡±


    Chen Cang was surprised. Wasn¡¯t it said that joining such societies was difficult?


    Didn¡¯t it require many recommendations, publications, and a track record of achievements?


    Wasn¡¯t there a requirement for a certain amount of professional technical tenure?


    It seems it¡¯s not that hard after all!


    It¡¯s just a matter of filling out a form!


    No no no, now it seems that not even the form needs to be filled out; just sending the information would do.


    Ah¡­


    Indeed, rumors can¡¯t be trusted.


    Chen Cang, thinking of his future small goals and tasks, decided to inquire further; perhaps there was a chance to become a committee member?


    ¡°Um¡­ Director Wang, is there a chance for me to become a committee member?¡±

 Chapter 264 - Chapter 264: Chapter 265: Helping Director An Break Through!

    Chapter 264: Chapter 265: Helping Director An Break Through!


    The National Day holiday was looming.


    The emergency department couldn¡¯t possibly take a full holiday, so the number of staff on duty needed to be ensured. After arranging the first and second lines, Chen Cang had two days of first-line and two days of second-line shifts.


    First-line meant he was scheduled for regular work, while second-line meant he could rest at home but had to be on call and ready to arrive at a moment¡¯s notice.


    After Chen Cang walked into the hospital today, he received a task notification.


    [Ding! Daily task: Complete rounds for 10 patients, reward: Clinical experience +30, RMB +30.]


    Upon seeing the task, Chen Cang knew that the good days were over.


    However, Chen Cang also discovered a pattern: special tasks may only trigger once a month, but how long they last is unpredictable.


    The last Tendon Suture Surgery task persisted for an entire month, forcefully elevating Chen Cang¡¯s tendon suturing level to perfection.


    The gap between perfection and master level in any skill is simply too vast!


    ¡­


    The news about Xing Yu had spread through the department yesterday, sparking heated discussions. It even climbed to the top ten hot search on Weibo. Being a celebrity really involves too much controversy¡ªeven farting might be collected and auctioned on Taobao at an exorbitant price!


    Chen Cang felt that he really couldn¡¯t adapt to that kind of life.


    Sigh¡­


    Hopelessly immersed in surgery.


    In the hospital, daily tasks consisted of surgeries, case studies, and rounds.


    Tedious, yet never dull.


    Each cure brought immense satisfaction to Chen Cang.


    This sense of achievement might be the biggest satisfaction a doctor could have in life.


    Patients could be discharged on the third day after tendon surgery; the emergency department didn¡¯t have many vacancies for them to occupy, and of course, the most important thing was the lack of rehabilitation facilities in the emergency department.


    Recovery from tendon surgery isn¡¯t achieved by simply completing the operation and then sitting back to await victory.


    It requires a period of recovery exercise, also known as rehabilitation.


    Unfortunately, both the Department of Hand Surgery and the rehabilitation room were nonexistent in this second-tier provincial hospital.


    Upon opening the attributes panel and looking at the 500 Tendon Suture Surgery task, Chen Cang had nearly completed 450 surgeries in almost a month, with just over 50 left to fulfill the task.


    Considering the current pace, it seemed unlikely to finish by National Day.


    He had initially thought that stitching tendons, these low-level tasks, would allow him to level up and score valuable equipment.


    After carrying out a surgery with Qin Yue, Chen Cang looked at the system¡¯s prompt tone, feeling somewhat helpless.


    [Ding! Defeated a lv.20 tendon monster, gained experience +1, RMB +10, Tendon Suture Surgery experience +0;]


    The tendon monsters no longer provided Chen Cang with experience, and even the money was a mere ten yuan.


    Chen Cang sighed deeply. He had thought that he might gain seven or eight levels from the 500 Tendon Suture Surgeries, but now it seemed he wouldn¡¯t even achieve one or two levels.


    If it weren¡¯t for his commitment to complete the task of 500 surgeries, Chen Cang would have wanted to give up long ago.


    It seemed that he needed to find new goals.


    After returning to the office, Chen Cang found Director An sitting there, seemingly lost in thought.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Dr. An? No patients today?¡±


    An Yanjun furrowed his brows and replied, ¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m saying. It¡¯s odd¡­ why are there no patients today?¡±


    Qin Yue cracked a smile. ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to have no patients? It means peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and we can also take a break.¡±


    These days, Qin Yue was truly exhausted¡­


    An Yanjun smiled and turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, I was really inspired after watching your surgery the other day. I think your understanding of Tendon Suture Surgery is above mine. How about I assist you during the surgery later?¡±


    [Ding! Task triggered, help An Yanjun to break through the Tendon Suture Surgery skill level. Task Note: An Yanjun has been stuck at an advanced level for a long time and is unable to break through. Help him to make the breakthrough. Task completion reward: Skill points +3.]


    After hearing the system prompt, Chen Cang chose to accept.


    The Tendon Suture Surgery was taught to me by Director An when I first came to the hospital, and for Director An¡¯s kind and soft-spoken manner, I still feel grateful.


    Even without any tasks, I would know to be thankful.


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°No problem, Teacher An!¡±


    But waiting like that for so long, to be missing a patient, left An Yanjun dumbfounded¡­


    Chen Cang was speechless as well; was heaven really so unwilling to let Director An make a breakthrough?


    Last month, there was a mountain of patients, since every hospital had to send some over here, but today it was bizarrely quiet¡ªwhat in the world was going on?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the Department of Hand Surgery at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, following the morning shift change, Tan Zhonglin asked all the doctors to stay and began to play the video of Chen Cang performing surgery on Xing Yu yesterday on the big screen.


    Tan Zhonglin had stayed up all night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.


    He continually replayed Chen Cang¡¯s surgery on Xing Yu in his mind, remembering that Chen Cang wasn¡¯t this skilled with Tendon Suture Surgery before, so why had he improved so much recently?


    Tan Zhonglin kept pondering the reasons until a phone call from Li Baoshan made things clear to him!


    Oh! You, Li Black-coal!


    So that was it!


    Tan Zhonglin suddenly remembered that a month ago, Li Baoshan had asked him to send patients requiring Tendon Suture Surgery to the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital.


    No wonder!


    So, Chen Cang¡¯s remarkable ability in Tendon Suture Surgery was honed through the steady stream of patients he had sent over.


    At this thought, Tan Zhonglin was filled with regret.


    Even during the shift change, he looked at each doctor with a hint of disappointment, as if to say, you all scorned this skill, now do you see the gap?


    The group of hand surgeons watching the surgery video were dumbstruck and speechless!


    How could there be such advanced Tendon Suture techniques?


    Or should it be said, Chen Cang, you¡¯ve actually managed to transform Tendon Suture into an art form?!


    After the video ended, Tan Zhonglin looked around at everyone:


    ¡°Now that you¡¯ve seen it, what are your thoughts?¡±


    Everyone fell silent. What thoughts could they have? How could we, the mere gold tier players, do anything but heap praise on King-level plays?


    Seeing no response from the crowd, Tan Zhonglin spoke passionately, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you what I think.¡±


    ¡°Tendon Suture is a skill that every doctor in hand surgery must firmly grasp¡ªit¡¯s our most fundamental skill. But what about now? It¡¯s the skill that we¡¯ve all been neglecting!¡±


    ¡°Now you see the gap, right? Someone has taken a Tendon Suture to such an extraordinary level; it¡¯s not just talent at play here, but hard work!¡±


    ¡°I know you all are proud and look down on Tendon Suture, but what I¡¯m telling you is, Tendon Suture is the soul of hand surgery!¡±


    ¡°I have an announcement to make today: starting from today, not a single patient needing Tendon Suture is to be let go. Each doctor must complete at least 20 Tendon Suture surgeries a month, and at the end of the month, I will organize an assessment. Those who fail to meet the standards will have their bonuses deducted!¡±


    Tan Zhonglin looked down at the group of doctors and then back at the pair of hands in the surgical footage.


    He muttered to himself, ¡°Brother Baoshan, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m being unloyal; blame Chen Cang for being too fierce!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The same realization struck Dongda First Hospital, Dongda Second Hospital, the City People¡¯s Hospital, Dongyang Province Bethune Hospital¡­


    The heads of hand surgery at all hospitals had an epiphany overnight and issued a crucial order to their doctors: not one patient needing Tendon Suture Surgery was to be missed! Even those trying to leave had to be dragged back for the surgery before they could go!


    As more than an hour passed without a single Tendon Suture patient, An Yanjun felt unbearably embarrassed!


    Chen Cang was also unbearably awkward; this was just too much of a coincidence.

 Chapter 265 - Chapter 265: Chapter 266: Xiao Chen, I Want to Learn the Chen Method!

    Chapter 265: Chapter 266: Xiao Chen, I Want to Learn the Chen Method!


    However, the wait didn¡¯t last too long, after all, the Provincial Second Hospital had earned quite a bit of positive word-of-mouth from patients recently.


    At eleven o¡¯clock, two patients arrived. Chen Cang looked up to see that they were brought by someone familiar.


    Fan Yunxia walked in with two women in their thirties and went straight to the office to find Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen! Oh, I¡¯m here to thank you this time.¡±


    ¡°My hand is so much better now! Look, it doesn¡¯t affect anything I do, I¡¯m really overjoyed!¡±


    As she spoke, Fan Yunxia placed the fruit she brought on the doctor¡¯s office table.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°This is what I¡¯m supposed to do.¡±


    Fan Yunxia¡¯s face beamed with happiness, she laughed nervously and said, ¡°Doctor Chen, the reason we came today is actually to ask for your help again. These two are my colleagues from the factory, they¡¯ve come for sutures. I specifically came to find you.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve got to help us out, please!¡±


    In fact, most patients felt a deep sense of gratitude toward their doctors.


    Faced with illness, everyone was filled with confusion and unknowns, all hoping to find a reliable doctor.


    And in Fan Yunxia¡¯s view, Chen Cang was a good doctor.


    Chen Cang nodded and stood up with a smile, ¡°No problem, Sister Fan, just bring them in.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Fan Yunxia felt very honored, quickly expressed her thanks with a smile, and nodded, ¡°Alright! Doctor Cang, I¡¯ll bring them in.¡±


    After saying that, Fan Yunxia turned to her two colleagues, ¡°I¡¯ve spoken to him for you, now follow me in.¡±


    ¡°This is the Doctor Chen I¡¯ve been telling you about. Last time, Sister Ying and I came to him for suturing, look how well I¡¯ve recovered, it doesn¡¯t affect anything. This time, let Doctor Cang perform your surgery.¡±


    The two women lit up, looking at Chen Cang with gratitude, ¡°Thank you, Doctor Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°Come with me to the treatment room, I need to assess the situation first.¡±


    ¡°Sister, you¡¯re more familiar with the procedure, please start by taking the patient¡¯s family to handle the paperwork. I¡¯ll check on the patients. First, we¡¯ll go for an examination, then I¡¯ll arrange the surgery.¡±


    Fan Yunxia nodded, smiling in agreement, and took the patient¡¯s family to fill out the paperwork.


    An Yanjun and Qin Yue also hurriedly stood up and followed Chen Cang toward the treatment room.


    After the checkup, and once the MRI results came back around twelve-thirty, the patients¡¯ conditions weren¡¯t severe; typically, such cases would wait until the afternoon for surgery.


    However, seeing how anxious they were, Chen Cang decided to perform the surgery immediately.


    During the two surgeries, Chen Cang taught as he operated. An Yanjun listened intently, occasionally asking questions.


    Chen Cang, undisturbed, continued to explain in detail to An Yanjun, what type of break required which suturing technique.


    The so-called rigid and inflexible methods of suturing were, in the eyes of Chen Cang, full of weaknesses and no longer in use.


    Chen Cang had mastered a set of his own suturing techniques, selecting the optimal suturing method for different types of breaks and injuries.


    Fixed methods had become unnecessary constraints for Chen Cang, devising the most appropriate and precise way for each patient¡¯s wound was what mattered most.


    It was like martial arts techniques; Chen Cang had reached the state where ¡°no technique is better than technique.¡±


    In his view, whether it was the Bunnell suture or Tang method, they were just techniques for beginners to quickly get a handle on, the real task was to understand the essence of suturing through these methods.


    When your technical skill isn¡¯t up to standard, using a method is the quickest and easiest way to get started.


    Department Head An Yanjun had extensive experience with tendon suturing and had mastered many techniques.


    Since he hadn¡¯t yet progressed from advanced to the master level¡­ surely, there was some insight missing.


    Chen Cang had planned to explain some special techniques and uses tailored to An Yanjun¡¯s deficiencies, but¡­


    Upon reflection, Chen Cang suddenly had a new idea, which was not to let him learn too many suturing methods, but rather to suture according to his own philosophy. After all, his suturing philosophy was derived from the essence of those suturing methods, but¡­ he wondered what the success rate would be?


    Actually, this is what is called the ¡°Chen Method¡±!


    If Chen Cang were to explain what the ¡°Chen Method¡± is, he wouldn¡¯t be able to clarify, for the ¡°Chen Method¡± is not a fixed set of procedures, but a complete set of treatment philosophies.


    It includes how to reduce adhesion, how to speed up recovery, how to strengthen tension, and so on.


    The two surgeries did not take long but left An Yanjun dumbfounded.


    Originally, in An Yanjun¡¯s eyes, Chen Cang had a deep understanding of various suturing methods, and An Yanjun felt that he might not have grasped the special techniques of these suturing methods.


    However, according to Chen Cang¡¯s philosophy, it wasn¡¯t so!


    An Yanjun felt that he had caught a glimpse of clues, but still could not grasp them concretely.


    Of course, it was definitely not going to be easy.


    There was too little to learn from two surgeries, but they were also sufficient to express some things clearly.


    After the surgeries, An Yanjun looked at Chen Cang with eyes full of doubt and disbelief.


    ¡°Xiao Chen¡­ I can¡¯t make out what suturing method you just used. What suturing method is this? It seemed very impressive to me.¡±


    Qin Yue also nodded blankly.


    Chen Cang smiled faintly, ¡°This is the ¡®Chen Method¡¯!¡±


    Both of them were puzzled.


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue snorted with a laugh, ¡°Putting on airs again¡­¡±


    But An Yanjun¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes intently staring at Chen Cang, ¡°Did you come up with this on your own?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    Suddenly, An Yanjun sincerely asked, ¡°Can you teach me?¡±


    Qin Yue was taken aback, seeing Director An so serious and earnest, it did not seem like a joke.


    Could it be¡­ Chen Cang really developed his so-called ¡°Chen Method¡±?


    At this thought, Qin Yue was full of shock and disbelief.


    Indeed, even with Qin Yue¡¯s extensive research and learning, his understanding of tendon suturing was extremely limited; Rome wasn¡¯t built in a day.


    An Yanjun was different. Coming from orthopedics, he had sufficient understanding of tendon suturing, and seeing Chen Cang¡¯s operations, he naturally noticed many details.


    Some things he couldn¡¯t articulate, but they were very profound.


    This realization struck An Yanjun suddenly, making him aware that Chen Cang was not joking.


    That¡¯s why he asked Chen Cang if he could teach him.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Of course.¡±


    An Yanjun breathed a sigh of relief!


    ¡°Thank you, Xiao Chen!¡±


    At three in the afternoon, several tendon injury patients arrived one after the other, and for several surgeries, Chen Cang was the chief surgeon with An Yanjun as his assistant.


    Qin Yue and Wang Qian stood silently to the side, exchanging glances¡­


    They suddenly realized that they had been abandoned by their own chief surgeon!

 Chapter 266 - Chapter 266: Chapter 267: Quietly Watch Me Show Off (Vote for Monthly Tickets)

    Chapter 266: Chapter 267: Quietly Watch Me Show Off (Vote for Monthly Tickets)


    Chen Cang had a rare moment of leisure when he suddenly received a call from Wang Yushan in Magic City.


    ¡°Chen? Send over your application form, I¡¯ll have the staff process it as soon as possible and get the certificate sent to you.¡±


    It was only then that Chen Cang remembered about his application to join the Chinese Medical Association¡¯s Hand Surgery Branch.


    He laughed awkwardly, ¡°Sorry, Director Wang, I¡¯ve been so busy that I totally forgot.¡±


    Wang Yushan chuckled, ¡°No problem, I was just giving you a prompt reminder. Also, remember the annual conference is in Magic City this year, just make sure to come when the time comes.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang printed out the form Wang Yushan had sent him.


    Sitting there, he began to fill it out¡ªit was all standard information.


    But as he wrote, Chen Cang increasingly felt embarrassed. By the time he got to the section on the position he was applying for, his face turned red, yet he perservered and wrote: Director!


    Education: Bachelor¡¯s.


    Specialization: Emergency medicine? Maybe that¡¯s not quite right?


    Academic achievements: None.


    Publications in related fields: None.


    Books: None.


    Research projects: None.


    Awards: None.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang felt like he might as well just send his name and ID number to Wang Yushan¡ªafter all, with everything else being nonexistent¡­


    If others are considered exemplary youths, he was an ¡°nonexistent youth¡±!


    ¡­


    ¡°Position applied for: Director¡±


    Coming to the final section on the position applied for, Chen Cang felt his face heat up as he looked at the word ¡®Director¡¯ that he had written.


    Wasn¡¯t this going a bit too far?


    Eagerly waiting for a paper to be published, even just an acceptance notice would suffice. Otherwise, how embarrassing!


    Looking at the section on personal achievements, Chen Cang suddenly lost the desire to continue and considered crumpling up the paper and tossing it into the nearby trash bin.


    Would filling this out really qualify you to join the Chinese Medical Association¡¯s Hand Surgery Branch?


    Forget whether the reviewers could stand it, even he couldn¡¯t bear to look!


    To be aware, this society has a high level of prestige, representing the authority in the field of hand surgery across the country.


    Chen Cang sighed, but still, he picked up his phone, took a photo, bit the bullet, and sent it to Wang Yushan.


    You asked me to send it; don¡¯t regret it!


    After all, it wasn¡¯t me who actively sought to join; you were the one who invited me.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang felt a bit more justified and his nerves and blushing subsided a bit.


    At that moment, Wang Qian happened to pass by and saw Chen Cang filling out something, peeked out of curiosity, and immediately started exclaiming loudly.


    ¡°Holy crap! Cang Er, you¡¯re the man, joining the Chinese Medical Association¡¯s Hand Surgery Society, and even applying for¡­ Director? Holy shit, are you out of your mind?¡±


    Wang Qian¡¯s loud exclamation drew the attention of everyone around, who turned their curious gazes towards them.


    An Yanjun was a member of the Chinese Medical Association¡¯s Hand Surgery Branch, and upon hearing this, he couldn¡¯t help laughing and said, ¡°Chen, you might want to consider joining the Dongyang Province branch first, and then think about joining the national Hand Surgery Society. Also, about this ¡®Director¡¯ position¡­ it needs to be applied for; in Dongyang Province, only Chief Xu from Dongda Second Hospital is a director. If you want to join the provincial society, I can introduce you. By the way, Director Tan Zhonglin is the vice-chairman, you could talk to him and see if it¡¯s possible.¡±


    Shi Na also laughed, ¡°Chen, you gotta take one step at a time, eat one bite at a time.¡±


    Qin Yue simply didn¡¯t speak, having seen plenty of Chen Cang¡¯s grandiose claims. If Chen could come up with ¡°Chen laws,¡± what¡¯s being an association director? Yet, watching everyone rallying around, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh and say, ¡°Chen Cang, you should be applying for the Alliance Hierarch!¡±


    Chen Cang, seeing everyone joking, also laughed a little embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m just applying.¡±


    After all, using connections to get in isn¡¯t something to be proud of, right¡­


    He can¡¯t really boast about having a backer, and that the Alliance Hierarch invited me, can he? That would seem even more like bragging.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh; sometimes, it feels like constipation when you know you¡¯re outstanding but can¡¯t express it¡ªlike being full of substance, but just unable to show it¡­


    Wang Qian, looking at Chen Cang¡¯s list full of nones, sighed, ¡°Bro, don¡¯t lose heart. The quest is long and arduous. If you really want to join a society, I¡¯ll just set one up; there are plenty of fake associations out there anyway, one more or less won¡¯t matter!¡±


    In the midst of their casual conversation, suddenly a figure walked into the emergency doctor¡¯s office.


    Tan Zhonglin entered and seeing An Yanjun, he couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Are you here, Director An?¡±


    An Yanjun, seeing Tan Zhonglin, was first startled, then quickly stood up and said with a smile, ¡°Director Tan? What brings you here, any issue?¡±


    Tan Zhonglin smiled slightly, ¡°No issue, no issue. I¡¯m just checking if Chen is around?¡±


    Chen Cang, seeing Tan Zhonglin, also got up curiously, ¡°Director Tan, are you looking for me?¡±


    Tan Zhonglin, seeing Chen Cang writing something, laughed and asked, ¡°Chen, are you busy?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Not busy, not busy.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin certainly couldn¡¯t say that he had come to learn Chen¡¯s surgical skills.


    Tan Zhonglin had organized continuous learning and practice in tendon suturing in his department, and though there had been some improvement, it never quite reached Chen Cang¡¯s skill of effortlessly switching between different suture methods.


    This left Tan Zhonglin somewhat frustrated, and he realized that working in isolation was not the answer.


    With nothing much to do in the department, he decided to swing by and ask Chen Cang for some guidance.


    But upon arriving, he felt it was impolite, especially since he had been taking all the patients lately and didn¡¯t refer any to Sheng Er Hospital, fearing an encounter with Li Heitian, who would undoubtedly have a lot to say about it!


    As he entered, he was taken aback to see the office full of people, thinking to himself that this was bad¡ªthe place was empty of patients.


    The scene didn¡¯t match what he had pictured at all!


    ¡°`


    At that moment, Tan Zhonglin didn¡¯t know what to say again.


    After all, he was the director of the Department of Hand Surgery at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital and the vice-chairman of the Hand Surgery Branch of Dongyang Province. To say that he had come to seek Chen Cang¡¯s advice, let alone whether he could bring himself to say it, would be so embarrassing!


    That was the difference between Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun.


    An Yanjun was a man of strong principles. He would pursue what he liked and what he was after without considering face or pride. In his view, the only things that mattered were whether something needed to be done and how best to do it. As for face, it wasn¡¯t that important to him; otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have said, ¡°Please teach me,¡± in front of Qin Yue and Wang Qian and to Chen Cang¡¯s face.


    Of course, it wasn¡¯t a matter of who was better or worse, but rather that people have their own ambitions.


    ¡­


    Tan Zhonglin approached Chen Cang, looked down, and saw Chen Cang¡¯s application form for the academic society. A lightbulb went off; he had been worried about not having anything to say, but finally, he had found a reason!


    ¡°Oh, what a coincidence, little Chen. I just happened to be passing by the second provincial hospital and was about to come and talk to you about joining the Hand Surgery Branch of Dongyang Province. You¡¯ve already filled out the form, so that saves trouble,¡± said Tan Zhonglin with a beaming smile.


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°This¡­ This is an application for the Hand Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, not the Dongyang Province branch¡­ Director Tan, should I fill out another one?¡±


    Tan Zhonglin laughed, ¡°No need, no need. You don¡¯t know, do you? Generally, those who join the Hand Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association are automatically included in the Dongyang Province branch, so this form is enough.¡±


    Then, Tan Zhonglin picked up the application form, pretended to read through it, and commented, ¡°Hmm, not bad at all! Pretty good!¡±


    After saying that, he just collected it.


    Chen Cang¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment. Not bad? What¡¯s not bad? Is my name not bad? Or is it my gender that¡¯s not bad? Or perhaps my identity number?


    Looking at Tan Zhonglin¡¯s earnest face, Chen Cang suddenly realized that the difference between himself and them was not only in academic achievements and surgical skills but in many other comprehensive life skills, such as a perfect level skill in talking nonsense with eyes wide open?


    And Wang Qian was utterly baffled!


    It wasn¡¯t that much of an issue; he was just starting to question his life¡­


    He looked at the seriously speaking Director Tan, who kept saying, ¡°Not bad at all,¡± and wondered, what¡¯s not bad?


    He had personally seen what Chen Cang had written, and aside from his name, everything else read ¡°none.¡± How could that be pretty good?


    Could it be because it was honest?


    Thinking this, Wang Qian wondered if he should also give it a try. What if¡­ what if it worked?


    After all, Director Tan Zhonglin was the vice-chairman of the Dongyang Province branch; he must have some ability, right?


    Feeling awkward, Chen Cang said, ¡°This¡­ Director Tan, my application hasn¡¯t been approved over there yet.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin smiled and didn¡¯t mind, ¡°Isn¡¯t it a done deal already? Chairman Wang and Chairman Chang have personally invited you. Could that be fake? Besides, now that you¡¯ve filled out the form, I¡¯ll just send it over when I get back, and joining the society is just a matter of time. It won¡¯t affect anything!¡±


    ¡°By the way, after the National Day holiday, I¡¯ll have someone send you the membership certificate.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin¡¯s words left everyone confused.


    Everyone felt their brains weren¡¯t functioning properly.


    What did Tan Zhonglin mean?


    Does it mean that Chen Cang¡¯s form wasn¡¯t filled out blindly?


    Is Chen Cang really going to join the Hand Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association?


    Wang Qian felt his brain wasn¡¯t quite up to speed. He looked at Chen Cang with a blank expression. Was this Cang Er still the same Cang Er from before?


    Why did he suddenly feel like a stranger?


    An Yanjun was also somewhat stupefied.


    What exactly had Chen Cang done?


    To actually join the Hand Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association directly?


    And to be personally invited by Chairman Wang and Chairman Chang!


    Others might not know who they are, but An Yanjun did!


    They were Wang Yushan, the Director of the Sixth Hospital of Modu City, and Chang Honglei, the Director of Capital Jishuitan Hospital. Two big shots of the industry, the pinnacle forces in hand surgery.


    With their personal invitations, the importance of it was massive.


    That was something to brag about for a long time¡­


    Shi Na and Qin Yue were equally bewildered. What on earth had happened?


    Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang, her face full of curiosity and gossip. What on earth have you done behind my back? I¡¯m so¡­ curious, what should I do?


    Her big eyes fluttered as she gazed at Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang laughed awkwardly, looking at everyone¡¯s expression and suddenly feeling a surge of adrenaline called exhilaration, getting a little heady¡­


    Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh. You all insist on forcing me to show off, and now look what¡¯s happened. Isn¡¯t it awkward for everyone?


    Ah¡­


    I just want to keep a low profile. Why is it so hard?


    Sometimes, having too much talent can overflow, just like what¡¯s happening now.


    Chen Cang looked at Tan Zhonglin, smiled easily, and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble you, Director Tan.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin waved his hand dismissively, ¡°What trouble? Dongyang Province Hand Surgery Society will only shine brighter with you in it. After all, the field of hand surgery needs fresh blood!¡±


    Praised by Tan Zhonglin like this, Chen Cang blushed even more. That¡¯s enough, please stop, if you go on, it will be too much. I¡¯m starting to float away myself!


    Eager to change the subject, Chen Cang quickly interrupted, ¡°By the way, Director Tan, did you come here for something else?¡±


    PS: First of all, I want to thank the Alliance Hierarch Forbidden Area Dusk Fire for the 100,000 reward. I can¡¯t write anymore tonight; it feels a bit watered down, so I apologize. There are only three updates tonight. There will be 3 chapters at noon tomorrow, and I would like to beg for monthly tickets. The end of the month is near, so if anyone has any spare monthly tickets, please cast them my way. Thank you, everyone.


    PS: I also want to recommend a book, ¡°The Great Martial Arts Star of the Nation,¡± which is about martial arts in the city. Friends who like it can go and check it out.

 Chapter 270 - Chapter 270: Chapter 271: Stealing Skills!

    Chapter 270: Chapter 271: Stealing Skills!


    To gauge the level of a doctor, you can tell from the very first moment they see their patient!


    The moment An Yanjun saw the patient¡¯s condition, his brain immediately started working at high speed, as he pondered over the best treatment plan.


    He quickly gained a comprehensive understanding of the patient¡¯s situation.


    What needed to be done first was to reposition the palm injury.


    The patient¡¯s main issue was the dislocation between the metacarpophalangeal joints and fractures of the phalanx bones.


    Tan Zhonglin was proficient in dealing with such joint issues, and An Yanjun was no less capable.


    However¡­


    At this moment, both unconsciously stepped away from the main surgeon¡¯s position, silently preparing to grab the auxiliary equipment.


    Tan Zhonglin looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, you do it!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and awkwardly said, ¡°Director, you should do it, I¡­ I¡¯m not particularly good at orthopedics.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin was surprised, such a nice young man, giving me so much face, but he sighed, ¡°Chen, this is not the time for modesty, you do it!¡±


    Chen Cang was astonished, ¡°Director, I really don¡¯t quite know how.¡±


    This caught Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun off guard as well.


    Was there something Chen Cang didn¡¯t know?


    Tan Zhonglin took a look at Chen Cang, and seeing he wasn¡¯t joking, tentatively asked again, ¡°Really? You don¡¯t have to spare our feelings, we¡¯re not strangers!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry, ¡°Really, Director, I really don¡¯t know how. You guys handle the bone reduction, I¡¯ll take care of the tendon, nerve, and vascular issues. Let¡¯s divide the tasks clearly, alright?¡±


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s heart relaxed and he couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh of relief.


    That¡¯s more like it!


    You¡¯re only 27 years old, after all; even with great talent, there are limits.


    How could you possibly know everything?


    At this thought, Tan Zhonglin found himself amused by his initial expectations.


    We are all human, how could the difference be so big!


    It¡¯s just that everyone has their specialty!


    Moreover, orthopedics requires long-term work experience and a buildup of surgical cases. Chen Cang is adept at tendon and vascular sutures, probably because he has spent a lot of time on the front line, dealing with trauma patients more frequently.


    Suddenly, Tan Zhonglin felt much lighter inside.


    ¡°Director An, come on, let¡¯s do this.¡±


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang was intently observing on the side. Clinical work requires constant learning; if you don¡¯t learn, how can you improve?


    If the phalanx fracture hadn¡¯t displaced, the primary approach would be manual reduction, which Chen Cang was capable of.


    Only now did Chen Cang realize how powerful the manual reduction techniques he learned from Director Wang Xiangjun were!


    But for an open fracture like this one, requiring incision and internal fixation, for example, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s use of Kirschner wires for fixation is a reliable method commonly used in the clinic.


    Providing instruments, Chen Cang on the side also had a clear view!


    Tan Zhonglin, witnessing Chen Cang¡¯s earnest learning, felt a little proud inside!


    Young people should be eager to learn more!


    After all, open phalangeal fracture fixation surgeries are common procedures that hand surgeons often need to perform. Tan has been doing them for half his life, rich in experience, and adept in technique, occasionally showcasing it at annual meetings to earn applause.


    Thus, Tan Zhonglin was quite confident in this area.


    In fact, performing surgery, like playing sports or singing, requires a certain state of mind. As long as a doctor feels well mentally, the surgery can¡¯t go too wrong.


    Tan Zhonglin discovered that when Chen Cang was watching as an observer, this sense of confidence was overwhelming.


    With this in mind, Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t resist showing off a skillful move, causing An Yanjun¡¯s eyelids to twitch. When An looked at Tan, his eyes were filled with a touch of respect. That Tan, he was truly impressive!


    Chen Cang, watching from the side, also had to admit, the older the ginger, the hotter the spice. Director Tan¡¯s work on the phalangeal surgery was really good!


    [Ding! Congratulations, the title attribute of 5% ¡°Skill Thief¡± has been triggered: you have acquired Tan Zhonglin¡¯s skill: Phalangeal Fracture Surgery: Master level.]


    [Phalangeal Fracture Surgery: Includes phalangeal repositioning and fixation, etc., Master level; Special effects: 1. Accurate repositioning; 2. Firm fixation;]


    Chen Cang¡¯s face brightened with joy!


    My goodness.


    It¡¯s been such a long time since the ¡°Skill Thief¡± task was triggered, and now it finally happened.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling elated inside, as both special effects, one being precise and the other being firm, were very effective.


    Because the treatment of phalangeal fractures needs to achieve accurate repositioning as well as firm fixation, and to start functional exercise as early as possible to restore the nimble activity of the fingers.


    And the surgical outcome can basically be influenced by accurate repositioning and firm fixation!


    The bone fracture surgery ended quickly, and Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally able to show off in front of Chen Cang.


    Ever since meeting Chen Cang, each time his worldview was challenged anew, he nearly forgot that he himself was the role of the Director of Hand Surgery at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.


    With that thought, Tan Zhonglin glanced at Chen Cang.


    An Yanjun then came in with a flattering remark, ¡°Director Tan¡¯s surgery on phalangeal fractures is really good! I saw it last year at the annual meeting, and didn¡¯t expect to see improvement again!¡±


    Tan Zhonglin, looking at Chen Cang, said earnestly, ¡°I¡¯m in good form today, Xiao Chen, the rest is up to you.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded his understanding. He knew that the work coming up was the crux of the matter!


    The orthopedic surgery only took a little time and did not affect the surgery on nerves and blood vessels in the hand.


    Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun both looked worriedly at Guo Zhiyong¡¯s dorsal hand which, even after debridement, was in bad condition!


    Because both the ulnar and radial arteries had been completely severed!


    This wasn¡¯t as simple as just saying.


    Even when clinical reports showed that the survival rate for hands with complete severance of both ulnar and radial arteries was still around one-third.


    But is one-third high?


    While some might think it is quite high, putting it another way, you wouldn¡¯t think so.


    The probability of surgical failure was as high as two-thirds.


    The arteries had been ligated before the surgery, and the task at hand was to perform anastomosis on the damaged blood vessels.


    It¡¯s fortunate that it was an arterial ruptural injury in the hand; if it were somewhere else, the chances of recovery might not even reach ten percent.


    Because the blood supply to the hand is extremely rich, mainly coming from the radial and ulnar arteries, and in addition, there are the anterior and posterior interosseous arteries.


    Of course, there are some so-called naturally gifted individuals, who are built differently, also referred to as ¡°one with astonishing bones, a martial arts prodigy¡±, within whose hand blood supply, 3.7% of individuals have the participation of the median artery.


    In fact, medical statistics only cover the majority of people; there are so many with unusual physiques, indeed naturally gifted. The one Chen Cang remembers most vividly was a patient with a cerebral infarction.


    Generally, after a cerebral infarction, it means that the brain tissue behind suffers necrosis due to ischemia and hypoxia, but at the time of discharge, cerebral vascular magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed a collateral circulation had formed at the original infarct site, compensatory blood vessels had restored blood supply to the infarcted area!


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded then!


    It was truly what one would call a medical miracle.


    Since then, Chen Cang approached the human body with awe; seeing people attempting to jump from buildings, he would give them a wide berth, just in case their bone quality was abnormal and they ended up running off after landing¡ªwhat if they were actually just tired of climbing stairs?


    The blood supply to the hand, in the form of arterial networks or arterial arches, constitutes a smooth traffic channel, ensuring a strong adaptability of blood supply during various functions such as pinching, holding, grasping, and gripping.


    And it is precisely because of the rich anastomosis between these blood vessels and their good compensatory ability that the hand still has a chance of over thirty percent recovery, even if the radial and ulnar arteries are ruptured.


    Chen Cang found that his eyesight was really useful when he was handling these delicate surgeries.


    Looking at the names written above, Chen Cang knew that he definitely wouldn¡¯t make a mistake in identifying the blood vessels!


    [Severed distal end of the radial artery] + [Severed proximal end of the radial artery] = A complete radial artery.


    Yes, it¡¯s that simple, just like assembling toys back in school.


    Of course, stitching is the most critical part of the surgery.


    Because the surrounding vessels are relatively fine, the procedure is quite arduous and the difficulty of operation is also high.

 Chapter 271 - Chapter 271: Chapter 272: Establishing a School!

    Chapter 271: Chapter 272: Establishing a School!


    ¡°`


    Compared to those large vessels within the abdominal cavity, the blood vessels in the hand are truly¡­ sensual!


    The 50% increase in visual acuity was becoming increasingly important at this moment.


    Chen Cang picked up the needle holder, and began to prepare for the suture carefully because the vessels were so delicate.


    Vessels were one thing, but nerves required even more precise suturing.


    That¡¯s why hand surgery is also commonly referred to as microsurgery.


    Generally speaking, a magnification of 6-10x is sufficient; Chen Cang was accustomed to using an 8x microscope.


    This level of magnification was just right for operating within the field of view.


    At this moment, the feeling under the microscope became extremely important; as Chen Cang held the needle holder, he suddenly experienced a sensation quite different from before.


    This feeling was indescribable, but¡­ magical. He felt that the ability to discern vascular walls had greatly improved!


    What was¡­ going on?


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned. He had never felt like this before, but¡­ but just after he had put on the microscope, he suddenly noticed that this sensation was becoming clearer.


    Could it be¡­


    The effect of a 50% boost in visual strength?


    Upon this realization, Chen Cang suddenly understood that the original effects of the eye drops were a +5 in vision, which encompassed many things.


    Benefits brought by the 50% increase in vision also included contrast, resolution, pixels¡­ and so much more.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel excited!


    This skill might not be very useful for others, but for doctors, it was nothing short of miraculous!


    The more advanced the surgery, the more refined the operations required.


    Neurosurgery, especially cranial surgeries, required precision and continuous improvement!


    At this moment, Chen Cang felt that vascular suturing, which was previously challenging, had become much easier!


    Moreover, Chen Cang¡¯s operations became more exquisite and more sophisticated.


    This gave Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun, who were watching the surgery, a chilling sensation down their spines.


    The ease with which Chen Cang worked made it seem like lifting weights was effortless!


    The sensation of suturing around tiny blood vessels and suturing a large artery felt similar; this was somewhat impressive¡­


    Having completed the radial artery suture, he moved on to the ulnar artery¡­ as well as the surrounding small vessels, like the dorsal interosseous artery, and so on.


    This left the two onlookers somewhat dumbfounded.


    Were they really suturing peripheral vessels?


    It wasn¡¯t long before the vascular suture was complete.


    Tan Zhonglin released the tied artery and hurriedly tested the blood flow!


    Observing the condition of the blood flow in the fingers, the two exchanged a glance¡ªperfect!


    Chen Cang began the nerve suturing!


    This suture was significantly more challenging.


    Generally speaking, the sooner the nerve damage in the hand is repaired, the better the functional recovery.


    That¡¯s why when Tan Zhonglin was at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital¡¯s hand surgery department, he was so eager to have Guo Zhiyong sent over; he worried that the longer the delay, the worse the nerve recovery for the patient.


    The primary method for repairing hand nerves is nerve suturing.


    This includes epineural suturing and fascicular suturing.


    Generally, when there is damage to the nerve trunk, epineural suturing alone is adequate.


    However, when it is possible to separate the sensory and motor branches of the nerve, fascicular suturing should be used.


    What does this mean?


    It means that the nerve is not just a single bundle; for example, in the case of dorsal ulnar nerve damage at the wrist, the deep and superficial branches of the ulnar nerve can be separated and each fascicularly sutured.


    It¡¯s like¡­ connecting electrical wires, with the neutral and live wires being connected separately (I realize I¡¯m a genius, this example is so vivid).


    However, since the nerve was abraded, Chen Cang felt a tension while pulling the nerve for suturing¡ªthe length wasn¡¯t sufficient!


    Seeing this, Tan Zhonglin frowned and asked, ¡°Chen, is it too short? Do we need a nerve graft?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°Let me try. The tension is quite high right now, but if we can loosen the joint a bit¡­ it might improve somewhat.¡±


    An Yanjun looked at the severed nerve, somewhat worried: ¡°Even if we loosen it, I¡¯m afraid it might not be enough¡­¡±


    But if they opted for a nerve graft, it certainly wouldn¡¯t recover as well as a direct suture, and it would also result in a sensory deficit due to nerve harvesting at the donor site.


    Taking from Peter to pay Paul is only done out of necessity, and not something one would do if they had any money.


    With nerve suturing the same principle applies; Chen Cang was reluctant to destroy the existing nerve networks if he could connect them.


    Chen Cang began meticulously freeing the ends of the nerves, changing the position of the joint, and making nerve transfers.


    After a slight adjustment, he had gained less than 1mm!


    The length suddenly became very awkward!


    To graft? Unnecessary!


    Not to graft? The suturing difficulty would be immense!


    Caught in a state where it might be possible to suture, but also might not.


    This put Chen Cang in a difficult position!


    Tan Zhonglin fell silent, not sure of the best approach to take.


    Such an annoying feeling.


    Stuck here, neither here nor there!


    He looked up at Chen Cang, only to find¡­ Chen Cang seemed quite satisfied?


    Unable to contain his curiosity, Tan Zhonglin took another look at Chen Cang: Can you really suture this?


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t look at him; his eyes were only on the nerve.


    ¡°`


    He switched to a neural suture, picked up the needle holder, and began suturing.


    Stitch by stitch¡­


    Tan Zhonglin fell silent¡­


    For a long time.


    He couldn¡¯t help but think to himself: Tch¡­ A grown man fussing over needlework!


    Meanwhile, An Yanjun saw envy written all over Tan Zhonglin¡¯s face, his eyes nearly glued to the procedure.


    Neural suturing was much more difficult than vascular suturing, but for Chen Cang, it was no trouble at all.


    Now it was time for tendon suturing.


    At this moment, An Yanjun perked up.


    He had recently become obsessed with the Chen method, his eyes seeing nothing else but it.


    Seeing Chen Cang preparing to suture, he subtly signaled Tan Zhonglin, then moved to a different spot to start assisting Chen Cang.


    Extensor tendon injuries are somewhat easier to suture than flexor tendon injuries, especially on the back of the hand.


    Because comparatively, the possibility of serious adhesions is lower.


    But that doesn¡¯t mean adhesions won¡¯t occur.


    This is because the skin on the back of the hand is thin and elastic, with a layer of loose connective tissue between it and the extensor tendons, which lack tendon sheaths but have peritendinous tissue.


    Even so, the difficulty is still there!


    Tendon suturing was Chen Cang¡¯s forte, a fact Tan Zhonglin knew well. He was eager to see which method Chen Cang would choose this time!


    Chen Cang glanced at the assisting An Yanjun, nodded, and An Yanjun skillfully began to help.


    Chen Cang then started the suturing.


    An Yanjun¡¯s eyes were focused, unwilling to miss any detail.


    Meanwhile, Tan Zhonglin was curious: What suturing method is this?


    How come I¡¯ve never heard of it?


    Did Chen Cang learn some new suturing techniques?


    No, that¡¯s not right!


    This¡­ I have never seen this suturing method before!


    However, at that moment, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s eyes narrowed as he suddenly realized that Chen Cang¡¯s suturing was miraculous!


    This spurred old Tan to pay closer attention.


    Luckily, there were several extensor tendons to be sutured, and Chen Cang performed multiple repetitions. However, the more Tan Zhonglin watched, the more bewildered and flabbergasted he became, until he was completely baffled!


    Although he did not understand the suturing method, it was genuinely impressive!


    The more he watched, the more profound and subtle it seemed.


    Yet this feeling was indescribable.


    Because¡­ he realized that this time the suturing was different from the last time Chen Cang performed it on Xing Yu!


    Chen Cang had changed again.


    And he had become¡­ even more skilled.


    So skilled that Tan Zhonglin was at a loss for words, even feeling unable to critique!


    Last time, at least he could understand, but now¡­ he was utterly clueless.


    Thinking of this, Tan Zhonglin furrowed his brow in thought.


    If last time, when treating Xing Yu, Chen Cang¡¯s tendon suturing gave off a vibe of natural mastery, as though every basic move conveyed deep significance, using two methods for one tendon, four methods for three tendons¡ªit felt like he had complete command over every suturing technique!


    This time, it was as if he had hardly used any techniques at all!


    None of the methods Tan Zhonglin could think of were used, yet the feeling was as if they all were!


    The key was that without using them, the suturing was still so good!


    That was the most, most, most crucial realization!


    It suddenly occurred to Tan Zhonglin, recalling a martial arts realm described in the wuxia novels of his youth:


    No technique surpasses the technique!


    At this thought, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s expression changed, almost in disbelief.


    More precisely, he had observed Chen Cang performing tendon suturing four times!


    The first time, if it was the peerless sword drawing all challengers.


    Then the second was the masterful deception of a blunt greatsword with no edge!


    The last time, saving Xing Yu felt like casually breaking off a twig to use as a sword.


    And this time, damn it, you¡¯re not even using a sword, reaching the point where everything in the world is a sword, where the absence of a sword surpasses its presence!


    At this thought, Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but mutter to himself: Damn¡­ How merciless!


    This is too terrifying!


    Others say you should revise your opinion after three days¡¯ absence, yet how do you manage to astonish every single time?


    Improving skills isn¡¯t supposed to happen like this; you¡¯re simply defying the laws of nature.


    With that in mind, Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but cautiously ask, ¡°Little Chen, your¡­ this suturing technique¡­¡±


    Portraying depth, An Yanjun solemnly let out, ¡°Director Tan, this is called the Chen method!¡±


    Tan Zhonglin was startled: ¡°The Chen method? What Chen method?¡±


    With a solemn expression and taking a deep breath, An Yanjun said, ¡°This is a tendon suturing technique that Little Chen developed himself, called the Chen method!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tan Zhonglin was stunned.


    His eyes wide open, breath held: You¡­ you¡¯ve founded your own school of thought???

 Chapter 272 - Chapter 272: Chapter 273: Prosperous Father-in-law!

    Chapter 272: Chapter 273: Prosperous Father-in-law!


    The surgery was coming to its final stage, but Chen Cang showed no impatience.


    When Chen Cang was a student, a surgeon in his fifties had told them that in clinical work, there was no room for slack; at all times, when treating any patient or dealing with any disease, one must give their all.


    The surgery ended before long.


    ¡°Ding! Successful sutures on rare tendon monsters, rare peripheral nerve monsters, and rare peripheral blood vessel monsters achieved, you receive: 1. Experience +500; 2. one blank Skill Book; 3. +1 skill point;¡±


    Upon seeing the system prompt, Chen Cang was momentarily stunned. Had the rewards for the three types of monsters been combined?


    Did that mean the rewards would be more substantial?


    After all¡­ a qualitative change should bring about a quantitative change!


    Chen Cang looked at the rewards and found them to be quite ordinary, the only special item being that blank Skill Book?!


    It was purple.


    ¡°Blank Skill Book: Upon use, copies one surgical skill and automatically upgrades it to Master level; Note: Cannot copy fourth-level surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang fell silent, this Skill Book was amazing!


    At this thought, Chen Cang was extremely pleased. One surgery, he had covertly learned a skill from Tan Zhonglin and had obtained a blank Skill Book. No matter how he looked at it, it was a win!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang led Guo Zhiyong out of the operating room.


    And Tan Zhonglin followed behind Chen Cang, silent and contemplative, apparently deep in thought.


    Just as they stepped out, they were met by a crowd at the door.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was also among the crowd and saw Chen Cang emerge.


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward, ¡°Chen? How did it go? Was the surgery successful?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Director Qin, the surgery was very successful. If he follows a normal rehabilitation routine, the recovery should be quite good.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face brightened with joy, and he became excited, ¡°Director He, are you relieved now?¡±


    He Tong was slightly taken aback, looking at Chen Cang and then at Tan Zhonglin behind him, who was clearly somewhat distracted and seemingly deep in thought; it was obvious that he was still somewhat worried!


    He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director Tan¡­ who was the chief surgeon?¡±


    Tan Zhonglin hurriedly said, ¡°It was him, Doctor Chen Cang!¡±


    Upon hearing this, and seeing how young Chen Cang was, He Tong couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly, ¡°He¡­¡±


    Upon noticing this, Tan Zhonglin quickly explained, ¡°Please be assured, leader! Dr. Chen¡¯s Tendon Suture Surgery is the best I¡¯ve seen, and even Academician Wang Yushan from the Sixth Hospital of Modu holds Dr. Chen in high regard. Oh right, Dr. Chen was also one of the surgeons who operated on Xing Yu.¡±


    The way Tan Zhonglin mentioned ¡°one of¡± was quite clever.


    It implied that Xing Yu¡¯s operation was a team effort!


    And Chen Cang¡¯s contribution was not to be underestimated, no one should take it lightly!


    Having heard this, He Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Looking at Chen Cang, he nodded with satisfaction, ¡°Impressive! Young and promising, energetic and vigorous. Director Tan speaks so highly of Doctor Chen, it seems I was a bit prejudicial!¡±


    At this point, He Tong looked at Qin Xiaoyuan and praised with a smile, ¡°Director Qin, your cultivation and exploration of talent are truly commendable! With your leadership, the Provincial Second Hospital is sure to achieve new glories.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Guo is our hero, a model in our teaching force, so the department takes Teacher Guo¡¯s health very seriously. We must give our all and do a good job this time, mainly to not disappoint everyone. This spirit of self-sacrifice is¡­¡±


    ¡­


    After babbling on for what seemed like an age, Chen Cang really admired it.


    Being able to talk about a topic from multiple perspectives, in numerous languages, and elevate it to a new height was truly impressive ¨C no wonder that person was a leader.


    However, that being said, irrespective of how the leader was, the organization¡¯s mobilization to rescue Guo Zhiyong was still admirable.


    In fact, no matter what the leader was like, as long as they could really do some substantial good for the common people, that was enough.


    The three kids saw Guo Zhiyong coming out and quickly ran over, ¡°Teacher Guo, are you okay? Does your hand still hurt?¡±


    ¡°Be careful, don¡¯t touch Teacher Guo¡¯s hand.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Guo, when you¡¯re sick, can I take care of you?¡±


    Listening to the three children, speaking like little adults in their childish voices, Chen Cang felt quite gratified.


    He believed that if Guo Zhiyong saw this scene, the pain in his hands would lessen by a lot.


    Standing aside, the relatives of the three children bowed to Guo Zhiyong in unison, ¡°Teacher Guo, we will never forget your kindness. We really can¡¯t thank you enough for this time!¡±


    Guo Zhiyong blushed a bit, he really hadn¡¯t thought too much at the time, his instinctual impulse was to rush forward to save the children.


    Seeing everyone acting this way, he also said with embarrassment, ¡°It¡¯s nothing! It¡¯s nothing! Don¡¯t be like this, I¡­this¡­¡±


    Guo Zhiyong was just an ordinary person, a member of the working class, with an ordinary job, living an ordinary life, much like most people do.


    And yet, it¡¯s these ordinary people who are able to step forward at critical times to do extraordinary things.


    In life, isn¡¯t each one of us ordinary people a hero too?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Guo Zhiyong had just finished his surgery and was admitted into the emergency department of Second Provincial Hospital. The next day, hordes of reporters came looking for him, interviewing and reporting on him extensively.


    Guo Zhiyong¡¯s deeds received widespread coverage and publicity, and this also indirectly gave positive promotion to the emergency department of Second Provincial Hospital.


    The Department of Education in Dongyang Province also awarded Guo Zhiyong with the ¡°Heroic Teacher¡± certificate.


    On the third day, Guo Zhiyong was transferred, because he needed further rehabilitation, to the hand surgery department at Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.


    However, these two days also saw Second Provincial Hospital gain a bit of fame!


    As the dean, Qin Xiaoyuan also received commendation from the leaders, praising him for valuing talent discovery and training, and for actively organizing rescue efforts, and so on.


    This made Qin Xiaoyuan very happy these past few days, his whole demeanor was lively and joyful, smiling at everyone he saw.


    Although he rarely visited the emergency department in the past, these two days he was there so often it was as if he couldn¡¯t keep away.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, he also gave a satisfied grin and nodded.


    Hmm!


    Quite a fine young man.


    A worthy father-in-law!


    Not bad at all!


    He could be considered for the son-in-law inspection list.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Tan Zhonglin had been thinking for a long time recently, even suffering from some insomnia, continuously recalling Chen Cang¡¯s Tendon Suture Surgery, or what¡¯s known as the Chen method, unable to let it go.


    Lying in bed, tossing and turning unable to sleep, it was as if he was possessed!


    The next morning, Tan Zhonglin made a decision!


    He was going to seek a mentor and learn!


    That¡¯s right!


    This time he was going to the emergency department to find Chen Cang and stay there for a good while.


    Tan Zhonglin felt that Chen Cang¡¯s Chen method was indeed very remarkable.


    Having spent a lifetime in hand surgery, he had a sharp eye and could tell good from bad at a glance, he wouldn¡¯t be mistaken.


    He felt that the Chen method was a treasure!


    After handing over his shift in the morning, Tan Zhonglin delegated his work and headed straight for the emergency department.

 Chapter 275 - Chapter 275: Chapter 276: Youve Worked Hard!

    Chapter 275: Chapter 276: You¡¯ve Worked Hard!


    Chen Dahai carried Yang Jiahui¡¯s luggage, continuously grumbling, ¡°What¡¯s with all this stuff you¡¯re bringing? A whole bunch of big and small bags, is there anything left at home?¡±


    Seeing that his wife ignored him, Chen Dahai continued, ¡°We¡¯re only staying for three days, it¡¯s not like we¡¯re moving over.¡±


    Yang Jiahui turned around and glared at him, ¡°Chen Dahai, will you ever stop? You¡¯ve said it hundreds of times already on the way here, why are you nagging like a woman!¡±


    Chen Dahai coughed and said no more.


    Suddenly, Yang Jiahui turned back and asked, ¡°Hey, I¡¯m asking you? Cang Er is in such a hurry to have us come buy a house, has he taken a fancy to someone¡¯s daughter?¡±


    Chen Dahai frowned and nodded, ¡°Hmm, I think that might be the case!¡±


    A while later.


    Yang Jiahui suddenly remembered something and whispered, ¡°Did you check if the money is there?¡±


    Chen Dahai glared at her, ¡°What are you talking about at the train station!¡±


    After that, he carefully felt a bag he was carrying, then glanced around and nodded to Yang Jiahui, ¡°Hmm! It¡¯s here, it¡¯s here!¡±


    Only then did Yang Jiahui breathe a sigh of relief, ¡°Why is he still not here? Should I give him a call? I¡¯m too anxious carrying all this money on me.¡±


    Chen Dahai said, ¡°This Ammonium City is big, traffic jams are normal, don¡¯t keep hurrying him.¡±


    Back at home, when they heard Chen Cang wanted to buy a house, they were immediately frightened. In the past two years, since Chen Cang graduated and worked without spending much money, and since little brother¡¯s high school costs weren¡¯t high, he had managed to save up about a hundred thousand or so. But when the old couple inquired about the house prices in Ammonium City, they found out it was fifteen thousand per square meter, which made them hurriedly borrow money from neighbors and friends in their hometown.


    Fortunately, the Chen family, being helpful in their daily interactions, managed to lend a bit. This time coming to Ammonium, they took out a total of a hundred and fifty thousand, which emptied the old couple¡¯s savings.


    As parents, no matter how much Chen Cang assured them he had money, they couldn¡¯t feel at ease. They¡¯d chip in as much as they could; if they were unable to help, then there was no helping it.


    After all, buying a house isn¡¯t a small matter, is it?


    Which family could come up with so much money at once?


    Yang Jiahui couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°There¡¯s less than ten thousand yuan left in the house, should we leave some for the younger one, he¡¯s still in school¡­¡±


    Chen Dahai shook his head, ¡°Let¡¯s sort out the elder one¡¯s issue first. You know what Cang Er is like; unless he¡¯s run into some issue, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be in such a rush to buy a house. I bet he¡¯s set his sights on a girl, maybe her family is urging him?¡±


    Yang Jiahui nodded, she also thought it possible.


    ¡°Little brother¡¯s expenses will come after the New Year, and after the autumn, we¡¯ll sell this year¡¯s corn harvest. I can also make a bit in the second half of the year. Little brother¡¯s tuition, miscellaneous fees, and living expenses for next year can be arranged. Life is about overcoming one hurdle after another, and once we get past one, there¡¯s another waiting.¡±


    Yang Jiahui might talk tough, but when it came to significant family matters, she ultimately followed Chen Dahai¡¯s decisions.


    After waiting for a short while, Chen Cang and Chen Luo saw Chen Dahai and his wife and came over with smiles to greet them.


    From a distance, Yang Jiahui looked at her two sons, Chen Cang and Chen Luo, walking side by side, tall and imposing, and her heart swelled with joy. Isn¡¯t this what parents wished for?


    Chen Cang came over and looked at his parents, who hadn¡¯t changed much.


    Chen Dahai was tall and sturdy, his skin somewhat darkened from working beside fires over the years, his arms under the short-sleeved shirt were muscular, though naturally not as explosive as a bodybuilder¡¯s. However, to Chen Cang, his father¡¯s arms had always been strong.


    The Chen brothers both resembled Chen Dahai in stature, tall and sturdy, with Chen Luo being more muscular than Chen Cang, though Chen Cang was also in good shape, thanks to his years of working in emergency medicine.


    Their mother, Yang Jiahui, was a typical rural woman, thrifty in managing the household, and the home she ran was full and bustling.


    Although the Chen family of four wasn¡¯t wealthy, they were still happy and content.


    Seeing that Chen Dahai was carrying many things, Chen Cang laughed, ¡°Dad, why are you carrying so much?¡±


    Chen Dahai laughed heartily, ¡°Your mom loves you kids so much, she¡¯s practically moved us out.¡±


    Chen Luo joined in with his own laughter, ¡°Dad, that¡¯s not fair. Everything we have goes to my brother; what about me? I have to raise an objection here!¡±


    Chen Luo¡¯s words amused the whole family, and Chen Dahai slapped him playfully, ¡°I¡¯ll knock some sense into you, you little rascal.¡±


    After they all came out, Chen Cang hailed a taxi, but soon found they had too much stuff to fit in one cab, so they had no choice but to take two taxis to Chen Cang¡¯s rental place.


    In the evening, Chen Cang booked a suite at the hotel downstairs. It had been a long time since the family gathered, and he thought they could have a good chat in the evening.


    Chen Dahai enjoyed having a couple of jars of wine with his meal.


    Chen Cang could handle his drink, while Chen Luo had been a handful since childhood, sneaking drinks from Chen Dahai¡¯s supply.


    Previously, Chen Cang thought children in the village were wild, but it was only after he started working at the hospital that he realized unruly kids weren¡¯t confined to any one place.


    For dinner that night, Chen Cang chose Haidilao, where the family could enjoy a harmonious hotpot meal and the parents could also experience what caring service was all about.


    While waiting to be seated, the waitress insisted on taking Yang Jiahui for a hand treatment.


    Yang Jiahui had never encountered such a thing. She was shy and blushing terribly, awkwardly reluctant, holding on to Chen Dahai¡¯s arm, her fists clenched, too embarrassed to open her hands.


    Chen Luo and Chen Cang followed behind, chuckling, ¡°Mom, go on and try it!¡±


    Chen Dahai laughed as well, ¡°Go for it, it¡¯s good for your hands. Look how rough they are.¡±


    At last, urged on by everyone, Yang Jiahui went inside.


    Standing at the door, Chen Cang smiled, watching his mother, this woman who had silently followed his father and toiled all her life.


    When his father worked as a chef, Yang Jiahui was the kitchen helper, a tough job.


    It wasn¡¯t until Yang Jiahui opened her hands that Chen Cang suddenly felt his heart being clenched tight¡­


    He saw those small hands covered in wrinkles, some dirt ingrained in the lines that could not be washed clean, numerous folds on the backs of the hands, rough palms, and callouses thick and yellow¡­


    Chen Cang felt a sudden sourness in his nose.


    It was these hands that had raised him.


    Chen Luo felt his eyes well up, unable to hold back the tears, ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡±


    He turned and walked out. As soon as he was out the door, tears could no longer be contained, and large drops flowed down his face. Chen Luo quickly wiped them away, taking a deep breath.


    He washed his face in the bathroom.


    Looking at his own tall, handsome reflection in the Mirror, he could see a strong resemblance to Yang Jiahui.


    Chen Luo took a deep breath, resolving firmly to make money sooner and take good care of his parents.


    It wasn¡¯t that Chen Luo was prone to tears; on the contrary, he was tough during his school days, as stubborn as Chen Dahai when his temper flared.


    But at that moment, seeing his mother¡¯s labor-worn hands, Chen Luo¡¯s heart ached more than if it were sliced with a knife.


    He had never noticed before, but at that moment, Chen Cang¡¯s mind was filled with the image of his mother¡¯s rough, calloused hands.


    Chen Dahai stood behind, his eyes smiling contentedly.


    In this life, you¡¯ve suffered, my dear wife.

 Chapter 276 - Chapter 276: Chapter 277: Chen Cang didnt get someone pregnant, did he?

    Chapter 276: Chapter 277: Chen Cang didn¡¯t get someone pregnant, did he?


    When it was time to eat, Chen Cang came with a bottle of liquor.


    The liquor was a gift from Li Baoshan.


    A patient had given it to Li Baoshan, but he didn¡¯t drink it and passed it on to Chen Cang instead.


    It was a quality drink, a 20-year-old Laobaifen.


    This time, Yang Jiahui didn¡¯t stop them from drinking. Instead, she watched the three men in the family with a smile and playfully chided, ¡°In this house, you three men just bully me, the only woman.¡±


    Whenever Yang Jiahui scolded Chen Dahai, he would just smile foolishly and not talk back.


    At this moment, he even chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right, Chen Luo! You used to make your mom mad all the time when you were little. Look how you guys wind her up.¡±


    Yang Jiahui immediately glared at Chen Dahai, ¡°It¡¯s you who upsets me every day! Luo Er is much more sensible than you are.¡±


    Looking at the digital ordering tablet, Yang Jiahui didn¡¯t know how to use it, but the prices made her heart skip a beat. It was really expensive.


    Chen Cang ordered a heap of dishes, but Yang Jiahui felt embarrassed to comment in front of others and could only say, ¡°If we can¡¯t finish it, don¡¯t order too much.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and added a few more specialty dishes.


    After the server had left, Yang Jiahui couldn¡¯t hold back and said, ¡°Cang Er, it¡¯s so expensive! Order a little less!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Ah, Mom, don¡¯t worry, we have money now.¡±


    ¡°This time, I want you to come and enjoy yourselves. Afterward, we can go to the hot spring hotel to relax for a bit, and while we¡¯re there, look at some houses during these two days.¡±


    Speaking of houses, Yang Jiahui couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Why buy a house all of a sudden?¡±


    Chen Dahai, also full of gossip, said, ¡°Is it because you¡¯ve found yourself a partner?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°No, I¡¯ve just saved up some money recently, and my job is stable. I wouldn¡¯t know how to invest the money, so I might as well use it to buy a house.¡±


    Yang Jiahui, looking skeptical, had been discussing it with Chen Dahai for a long time!


    She always felt Chen Cang must have gotten himself a girlfriend, and her family was urging him to buy a house since it couldn¡¯t be helped.


    Chen Dahai felt it was because someone had gotten pregnant¡­


    In any case, suddenly buying a house¡­


    Yang Jiahui cautiously said, ¡°Cang Er, when you came this time, your dad and I scraped together one hundred and fifty thousand for you. Is that enough now?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was taken aback!


    ¡°Dad, Mom, please take the money back and return it to them. I really don¡¯t need money now. When I¡¯m not at my regular job, I go to the cosmetic surgery clinic to perform surgeries, and I earn several hundred thousand a month. I¡¯ve just finished a job for a boss and saved up over a million during this time, so that¡¯s why I¡¯m thinking of buying a house.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Jiahui said, ¡°Then keep the money for renovations, which are going to cost too. You¡¯ll also need furniture.¡±


    Chen Cang laughed and cried at the same time, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m earning over a hundred thousand every month now. Take the money back and take care of yourselves. Don¡¯t work so hard from now on, and don¡¯t worry about Chen Luo¡¯s tuition and living expenses anymore.¡±


    ¡°Once my house is ready, you guys can come and live with me. Then, Mom, you can cook for me and Chen Luo. With Chen Luo around and all of us in Anyang City, we can look out for each other.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Dahai immediately nodded in agreement, ¡°Right, you can come and cook for Cang Er, and I¡¯ll just stay at home and look after the house.¡±


    Yang Jiahui glared at Chen Dahai, ¡°If I go, who will cook for you?!¡±


    Chen Dahai laughed heartily, ¡°I¡¯m a chef, I¡¯m not worried about that.¡±


    Yang Jiahui shook her head, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about this later. Your dad and I are still useful and don¡¯t need to bother you two. Besides, to tell you the truth, we¡¯ve been living in the village for half our lives and wouldn¡¯t be comfortable elsewhere. Your dad is even more used to living at home; he likes to visit neighbors and lend a hand. We¡¯ll talk about it when we¡¯re old and no longer useful.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t press the issue any further. Whatever made his parents comfortable was fine by him.


    Still, Chen Cang added, ¡°Dad, Mom, please don¡¯t work too hard from now on, and take care of your health. You¡¯re getting on in years, so you need to pay attention to that.¡±


    The dinner lasted for quite a while, and they finished off a bottle of liquor. As they were about to open a second one, Yang Jiahui grabbed it and stopped them.


    Leaving the restaurant, Chen Dahai and Yang Jiahui couldn¡¯t stop expressing their amazement.


    ¡°The service here is really good! The hand towels are always warm.¡±


    ¡°The waiters are so diligent, escorting me to the restroom.¡±


    ¡­


    They returned to the hotel with laughter and chatter, the four of them gathered together, bought some sunflower seeds, turned on the television, and chatted away.


    The evening passed in laughter and conversation.


    Chen Cang had been working and hadn¡¯t been home since last New Year¡¯s.


    Moreover¡­


    If you¡¯re under a lot of pressure, your personality tends to become irritable and gloomy.


    Now that Chen Cang had greatly improved the Chen Family¡¯s finances, the pressure had been reduced significantly.


    The next day, Chen Cang took his family to Yueyang Mountain Villa Hot Springs Hotel, where they had a good rest.


    Chen Bingsheng gave him five tickets, and Chen Cang didn¡¯t know why there were five when four was enough.


    Chen Cang decided to give the extra ticket to someone else, but everyone already had plans.


    With no alternative, Chen Cang put it in his bag, thinking he would come back to enjoy it alone when he had time.


    For those two days, the Chen family of four was living it up: looking at houses during the day and soaking in the hot springs and watching performances at night.


    At first, Chen Dahai was really enthusiastic, asking questions at the sales office and figuring out how he¡¯d brag to his drinking buddies once he got back.


    But after touring more than a dozen houses in one day, Chen Dahai¡¯s interest began to wane.


    Yang Jiahui, however, became increasingly enthusiastic, even more professional than Chen Dahai.


    She discussed everything with the sales girls: lighting, layout, Feng Shui, and a mess of other things.


    When they returned at night, Yang Jiahui even followed a podcast about real estate stories on her phone and started listening to it.


    The next day, the family went to a newly developed property near Tian Street Square named Vanke Ziyang.


    The place is close to the Provincial Second Hospital, and the real estate project hasn¡¯t been fully completed yet.


    Some areas of the site were still under construction, and though the houses had not been built yet, they were already mostly sold out.


    Chen Cang followed the sales lady, pointing at the model and getting explanations.


    At that moment, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.


    ¡°Chen Cang!¡±


    After hearing the voice, Chen Cang stopped in his tracks, taken aback.


    The voice had been part of his life for a very long time¡ªso familiar.


    Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Cang quietly turned around.


    ¡°Geng Yan,¡± Chen Cang said softly, looking at the familiar person before him. He had thought it would be awkward to meet, but once he uttered her name, it all seemed so simple.


    Geng Yan hadn¡¯t changed, still wearing familiar clothes, that familiar smile, and the look in her eyes as she saw Chen Cang was familiar too.


    That¡¯s just how this girl was: forthright, bold in love and frank in speech.


    Geng Yan smiled, ¡°It really is you, we haven¡¯t seen each other in so long!¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s been a long time, but you haven¡¯t changed a bit!¡±


    Although it had been a while since they last met, as soon as they started talking, they naturally fell back into familiarity.

 Chapter 277 - Chapter 277: Chapter 278: Actually... I was bluffing, Chen Cang was the chief surgeon!

    Chapter 277: Chapter 278: Actually¡­ I was bluffing, Chen Cang was the chief surgeon!


    Geng Yan looked at Chen Cang, smiling as she said, ¡°Planning to buy a house? Made it big, huh! Getting ready to get married?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t even have a partner yet, how could I be getting married? But I am planning to look at a house, after all, my job is stable now, and I¡¯m thinking of finding a place to settle down.¡±


    When the topic of dating came up, Chen Cang changed the subject, ¡°Are you also looking at houses?¡±


    Geng Yan was originally from Anyang City, and her family was comfortably well-off. When she went out to eat with Chen Cang during their school days, she often took the initiative to pay the bill, and when ordering, she rarely chose the expensive dishes, to take Chen Cang¡¯s feelings into account.


    After breaking up, it was for all kinds of reasons. After all, everyone has their own aspirations; it¡¯s not right to say that a breakup is necessarily because somebody did something bad.


    It¡¯s just that everyone has their own pursuits!


    Geng Yan shook her head, ¡°Yeah, this place isn¡¯t far from the First Hospital of Dongda, so I came over to look at houses.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Didn¡¯t the hospital give Jing Ran a house after he came back?¡±


    Geng Yan nodded her head, ¡°They originally said they would give us a house, but it¡¯s all old houses and the square footage is quite small. We¡¯re planning to have kids after we get married, so we thought about getting a bigger house. Hence, the hospital simply gave us a settlement fee, which happens to be just right for house hunting.¡±


    Geng Yan couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°It seems like your decision not to go to grad school was right. Now, even after grad school, it¡¯s tough to find a job. Our classmates are all worrying about it now.¡±


    Chen Cang laughed awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯ve gone back to study, haven¡¯t I? Now you are all my seniors.¡±


    Geng Yan couldn¡¯t help laughing, ¡°Looks like the three years in the emergency department didn¡¯t hit you too hard. Still that cheeky, huh?¡±


    Chen Cang just smiled without saying a word.


    Yang Jiahui, pulling Chen Luo and Chen Dahai, was bustling with excitement as she looked at the real estate, discussing with the saleslady like an expert, not at all like someone from the countryside. Actually, even from the village, it was an urban village, the kind with several houses in hand.


    Now she didn¡¯t have the time to spend on Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°By the way, did you come alone?¡±


    Geng Yan shook her head, ¡°I came with Jing Ran. Oh! That¡¯s right, Jing Ran is my husband. We¡¯re getting married soon, remember to come to the wedding.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help laughing, ¡°Ex-boyfriend¡¯s table?¡±


    Geng Yan almost burst out laughing, cursing with a laugh, ¡°Scram, you¡¯re going to have a whole table to yourself!¡±


    Chen Cang laughed heartily.


    The two of them really had a good relationship. In college, it wasn¡¯t love at first sight; Chen Cang was the class monitor and Geng Yan was the study committee member. First, they were very good friends, and then their relationship developed from there.


    Therefore, due to their personalities, the two were able to connect and talk to each other.


    But Geng Yan was an ambitious person.


    Chen Cang said with a smile, ¡°I thought you were going to study for a doctorate. Graduating from a master¡¯s program and then getting married is quite different from the vow you made before!¡±


    Geng Yan sneered, ¡°You also said you would never go to grad school, and now here you are enrolled, right?¡±


    After saying this, Geng Yan sighed, ¡°We were just too naive back then! Life isn¡¯t something you can plan on your own. Instead of saying we choose our life, it would be better to say life chooses us.


    Actually, your choice wasn¡¯t wrong either, just like me coming back to get married and go to work isn¡¯t wrong. Everyone has different circumstances, and life never follows a script. There¡¯s always a gap between imagination and reality.¡±


    ¡°People should do what¡¯s right for them at the right time, based on their own situation!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and did not speak. Geng Yan understood this point, which was a big change compared to her strong-willed self from the past.


    Upon reaching this point, Geng Yan hesitated but then, looking at Chen Cang, sincerely advised him, ¡°But still, when you have the choice, I still think you should choose the best. I believe that going back to grad school is a good choice for you, after all, you¡¯re so capable¡­ You really could achieve something significant.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, after having been in the hospital for so long, you should know that the hospital has high demands for education. With just an undergraduate degree, you¡¯re only a resident doctor, while Jing Ran is already the deputy head of the department.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not saying Jing Ran is all that great or boasting about it, you know me.¡±


    ¡°I just think that sometimes, educational qualifications are really important, especially in our field of medicine, it saves a lot of time.¡±


    Chen Cang did not deny it; this was the truth.


    In the hospital, there are mandatory requirements for career advancement: with an undergraduate degree, you can take the intermediate title exam, which is an attending physician, after five years, and then work towards the deputy chief physician after another five years, and chief physician after another five years.


    For masters¡¯ graduates, it¡¯s two years to become an attending physician, three years for deputy chief, and five years for chief!


    PhD holders are even more impressive; they¡¯re attending physicians upon graduation and can attempt the deputy chief physician exam after two years, followed by chief physician exam after three years.


    When you calculate it, can you see how many years that saves?


    After Dr. Jing Ran returned, he was appointed directly as the associate chief physician and deputy director of the department. He was just over thirty and had already achieved what others might not manage even at forty-five or fifty-six.


    Why say the threshold to enter a hospital is high?


    Because of this!


    Geng Yan sighed and continued, ¡°Besides, an education isn¡¯t just a piece of paper¡ªit¡¯s a time when you can really learn a lot and master many techniques.¡±


    ¡°Why can Jing Ran make demands to the hospital, getting a house and arranging my job? It¡¯s because Dongda First Hospital doesn¡¯t have Jing Ran¡¯s skills, and they need such a talent.¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t attend the school¡¯s new student ceremony last time. A freshman fainted and was subsequently diagnosed with echinococcosis, a disease that we in Dongyang simply couldn¡¯t handle. If it hadn¡¯t been for Jing Ran and a Chen brother who came for the school celebration, that patient would¡¯ve been gone!¡±


    ¡°Plainly speaking, it¡¯s all about the skills! If you don¡¯t go out and see the world, there are many surgeries and diseases you¡¯ll never come across.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback¡ªechinococcosis? Wasn¡¯t that what he and Jing Ran had done together?


    I¡­


    Geng Yan kept speaking, ¡°Furthermore, look at Jing Ran. The hospital gave him a house, or rather a settling-in allowance of a million yuan. How much could you earn in six years at the hospital? A junior doctor makes three to five thousand a month, which isn¡¯t bad, and it takes years to make a name for oneself.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Geng Yan.


    I¡­


    At this moment, suddenly someone called out, ¡°Geng Yan!¡±


    Geng Yan quickly responded, ¡°Coming, coming, Chen Cang, let me introduce to you my husband.¡±


    As she spoke, Geng Yan turned around and pulled Jing Ran over, just about to make the introduction, ¡°Let me introduce¡ªthis is¡­¡±


    Jing Ran was surprised, ¡°Dr. Chen?¡±


    Chen Cang offered an awkward smile, ¡°Dr. Jing, hello!¡±


    In the midst of speaking, Geng Yan became somewhat dumbfounded.


    What¡¯s going on here?


    ¡°You know each other?¡±


    Seeing Chen Cang, Jing Ran was somewhat excited; after all, their cooperation that time had left a lasting impression.


    ¡°Of course I know him; this is Dr. Chen who worked with me at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital to save a patient with echinococcal cysts!¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you, Dr. Chen has extremely high surgical skills, very skilled. I can¡¯t compare! If it weren¡¯t for him, I simply couldn¡¯t have done it.¡±


    Saying this, Jing Ran smiled sheepishly, ¡°Actually, I boasted a bit to you¡­ The surgery was actually led by Dr. Chen that time, and I just helped out. Dr. Chen¡¯s level and talent are far above mine!¡±


    With that, Geng Yan was dumbstruck, at a loss for words!


    She looked at Jing Ran with a bewildered expression as if to say, ¡°I just finished bigging you up, and now you¡­ You letdown!¡±


    Seeing Geng Yan¡¯s changing expressions, Jing Ran thought she remembered the parasite eggs from the echinococcosis case and his own expression changed abruptly, ¡°Geng Yan, about sending that photo¡­ I thought¡­ Dr. Chen had already shown her¡­¡±


    Geng Yan¡¯s face shifted again!


    She shot Chen Cang a furious glance, filled with the message: You did that on purpose, didn¡¯t you?


    Chen Cang also couldn¡¯t help but step back, looking at Jing Ran, thinking, man, don¡¯t drag me into this!


    Jing Ran hurriedly said, ¡°Actually, Dr. Chen advised me not to send you the photo!¡±


    [Ding! Geng Yan¡¯s favorability -5!]


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed, ¡°This¡­ Let¡¯s get together another day, I¡¯ve suddenly got something here¡­¡±


    Just then, suddenly a cry for help rang out, ¡°Help! Someone help! Somebody has fallen from the building!¡±


    Chen Cang and Jing Ran¡¯s expressions shifted, and without concerning themselves with anything else, they rushed towards the commotion.


    ps: For tonight, this is the third update, and there¡¯ll be another at noon.


    Thank you to Boss Ling and Boss Mo Ru Guo for their generous rewards, thank you!

 Chapter 280 - Chapter 280: Chapter 281: At This Moment, We Need a Backbone

    Chapter 280: Chapter 281: At This Moment, We Need a Backbone


    ¡°`


    On one side, there¡¯s the life-and-death urgency of emergency medicine, cardiac surgery, orthopedics, radiology, and thoracic surgery!


    On the other side, there¡¯s the concerted efforts and tacit cooperation of the critical care unit, operating room, anesthesiology, blood transfusion department, and laboratory science!


    What they¡¯re about to face is a battle that could last for over a dozen hours!


    In the operating room!


    The emergency physician Chen Cang, thoracic surgeon Jing Ran, emergency medic Wang Qian, and orthopedic surgeon Zhang Xueliang wait anxiously for the surgery to begin!


    This is a young resuscitation team with an average age of no more than 31 years old!


    This is a life-or-death race against time!


    The incident happened suddenly; second-tier doctors are on their way, and department heads will arrive shortly!


    But this emergency team, hastily assembled, must have someone step forward to lead the operation.


    Jing Ran is slightly timid!


    But among all those present, he is the only associate chief physician¡ªhe must step forward!


    Flee?


    Your hesitation is undoubtedly a cowardice before the reaper!


    Your cowardice will not earn the reaper¡¯s mercy, only his mockery!


    With this thought, Jing Ran clenched his teeth and psyched himself up!


    ¡°Come on, Jing Ran!¡±


    At this moment, whether it¡¯s about responsibility or anything else, this inter-hospital rescue must be carried out with full effort.


    Right now, at this very moment!


    In the operating room, all the surgical nurses, anesthesiologists, blood transfusion physicians, and laboratory doctors need someone with a commanding presence to step forward.


    Someone to unify and coordinate this operation!


    Just as Jing Ran was about to speak, he suddenly noticed Chen Cang taking a step forward!


    Chen Cang turned around and said:


    ¡°Prepare for intubation!¡±


    ¡°Prepare the venous access!¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, the nurses hurriedly got up to prepare, and Jing Ran, without any hesitation, began his subsequent tasks.


    A few minutes later!


    ¡°Intubation successful, venous access established.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, then said sternly, ¡°Prepare the extracorporeal circulation.¡±


    ¡°The extracorporeal circulation machine is ready.¡±


    Chen Cang continued to arrange the next steps methodically!


    ¡°Prepare plasma!¡±


    ¡°Plasma urgently dispatched and in place.¡±


    ¡°Artificial blood vessels transported in place.¡±


    ¡­¡­


    The medical team¡¯s repeated urgent calls!


    The medical crew¡¯s repeated and well-coordinated actions!


    One safety measure after another is continuously perfected!


    One rescue plan after another effectively goes into action!


    Time after time, they pull victims back from the brink of death¡­.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath; at this moment, he knew that now was the least opportune time to let down his guard; what lay ahead could be the most severe resuscitation task he had ever faced!


    A rescue team centered around him, ready to execute any command he might give at any moment!


    No one doubted Chen Cang, because now was not the time for doubt.


    Anesthesiologist Liu Jian looked astonished at the familiar face before him, in which he saw an unfamiliar expression!


    Is this Chen Cang?


    Even Wang Qian felt that Chen Cang emanated an unfamiliar aura, a far cry from the sometimes cheeky young doctor of the past.


    All the nurses noticed that at this moment, Chen Cang carried a certain commanding presence about him!


    Confidence!


    Meticulousness!


    ¡°`


    Somber!


    Imperious!


    That¡¯s right, the soul deep within Chen Cang was not his alone!


    A doctor named Bai Qiuen was using all his lifelong knowledge, all his experience in emergency response to assist Chen Cang in this rescue operation!


    Under the shadowless lamp, an intense, smokeless battle was under way.


    At the operating table, several young doctors with little worldly experience were giving their all with everything they¡¯d learned!


    Inside the operating room, seven or eight medical staff from various departments were ready for anything, at any moment.


    The first step of the surgery was to ascertain the extent of the injuries!


    Even with imaging data to rely on, many things could not be captured by the machines.


    Therefore, the next step had to involve opening the chest to explore.


    However, this brought a grave issue before everyone: how to choose the incision!


    At this moment, the design of the surgical incision was crucial¡ªit had to ensure absolute patient safety, not increasing blood loss or harming surrounding tissue; it also needed to allow for the repair of all major injuries, and at the same time facilitate the removal of a nearly 50 centimeter-long threaded steel rod from the thoracic cavity.


    An incision had to meet all three conditions at once.


    Jing Ran was beginning to hesitate.


    What to do¡­


    If it were his mentor, Academician Liu Jian, what would he do at such a time?


    This was Jing Ran¡¯s habitual way of thinking.


    Whenever he encountered a problem he couldn¡¯t solve, he would start to think: if his teacher encountered this situation, how would he calmly face it!


    Chen Cang turned to look at the radiologist beside him, saying, ¡°Turn on the backlight, let me see the films.¡±


    The radiologist nodded quickly.


    At this time, Chen Cang began to analyze all the possibilities continuously, gradually forming an approach in his mind.


    Every second was precious!


    But there was no regret medicine for cutting!


    A cut for life!


    A cut for death!


    Chen Cang had to be cautious.


    The sounds from the equipment kept fluctuating, the circulation noise from the heart-lung machine rose and fell incessantly, even the tense breathing of those around was pervasive.


    1 minute and 21 seconds later, Chen Cang turned to look at Jing Ran, Wang Qian, Zhang Xueliang.


    He began to explain the situation word by word, outlining his planned approach, communicating everything that could be considered, to everyone, including anesthetist Liu Jian, and even every instrument nurse!


    Chen Cang had to ensure this rescue was foolproof!


    No boss!


    I¡¯ll be the boss!


    According to Chen Cang¡¯s plan, the surgery was divided into three phases: first step, open the chest to explore and ligate vessels, and remove the steel rebar; second step, repair the damaged organs; third step, change positions to repair the bone trauma.


    Chen Cang picked up a scalpel and began his operation!


    That moment, time froze at 11:10 AM.


    The patient¡¯s vital signs were stable, breathing even, blood pressure rising, blood oxygen saturation returning to normal levels¡ªthis was the moment the surgery would officially begin.


    As the knife slid through the skin, he quickly grabbed a haemostatic gauze, ready for anything.


    Jing Ran watched Chen Cang¡¯s choice, frowning in thought!


    This position¡­ he hadn¡¯t considered that!


    Jing Ran¡¯s eyes brightened; this way, they could effectively avoid the aorta and could ligate the thoracic vessels!


    But¡­ this position was really exhausting!


    How long could Chen Cang last?


    This surgery was definitely a grueling battle, sure to last a long time.


    Chen Cang¡¯s choice of incision site made Jing Ran feel awkward standing in any position, all uncomfortable, needing to lean in at an angle, skillfully making the cut.


    This would hasten the depletion of his stamina.


    Soon, with the thoracic cavity opened, everyone saw the severely damaged chest, and witnessed a gruesomely bloody scene!


    And in Chen Cang¡¯s eyes appeared all sorts of red names.

 Chapter 281 - Chapter 281: Chapter 282: Gotta Admit It!

    Chapter 281: Chapter 282: Gotta Admit It!


    ¡°`


    Time: 11:30 AM!


    The injured list includes a ¡°fractured right sternoclavicular joint,¡± ¡°broken clavicle,¡± ¡°second rib fracture¡± ¡­ several bone fractures inside the thoracic cavity!


    Next is the vascular damage!


    Still actively bleeding at this point.


    The ¡°damaged subclavian vein,¡± ¡°torn right brachiocephalic vein entering the superior vena cava,¡± ¡°aortic root tear¡±!


    Three serious instances of vascular destruction!


    The tear at the root of the aorta is the most critical, as the threaded steel currently hugs close to the aorta, barely sealed by the steel keeping the blood from gushing out in great amounts!


    But it must be dealt with promptly!


    Near the entry of the right brachiocephalic vein into the superior vena cava, right next to the heart and the root of the aorta, there are three huge tears, the largest nearly 2 centimeters in size!


    All the information is telling Chen Cang that this is quite troublesome.


    However, that¡¯s not all!


    As the threaded steel penetrates deeper, the lung injuries become more exposed!


    ¡°Laceration of the right hilum,¡± ¡°rupture of the azygos vein,¡± ¡°destruction of the right upper lobe,¡± ¡°tear of the upper right bronchus¡±!


    Seeing the severely damaged lung, Jing Ran couldn¡¯t help but gulp.


    Even the doctors standing behind him swallow their saliva, feeling their breath stop.


    Chen Cang carefully dissected further, revealing that four ribs at the posterior aspect of the right chest have comminuted fractures, with corresponding intercostal arteries being destructively severed.


    The exploratory thoracotomy ended, with Chen Cang meticulously using his special vision to present all the surrounding organs and tissues to everyone, making sure they all understood the gravity of the situation.


    But such severe damage left everyone feeling uncertain.


    The difficulty of the surgery was, needless to say, immense.


    Exploration completed, time: 11:42 AM.


    Chen Cang looked at Jing Ran and Wang Qian, saying, ¡°Prepare to ligate the blood vessels, remove the steel, and listen to my instructions!¡±


    Both men nodded solemnly.


    The process had to be carried out carefully. Threaded steel is not stainless steel; its rebar-like structure presents valleys and ridges, which to the delicate internal organs, are like a sharp weapon!


    Time ticked away second by second, and this half-meter-long threaded steel had to be removed bit by bit, without exacerbating the injuries!


    This required an extraordinarily steady hand!


    A pair of strong, powerful hands!


    Chen Cang gritted his teeth and looked at Jing Ran, ¡°Be careful, and don¡¯t rush!¡±


    He then turned to Wang Qian and Zhang Xueliang, ¡°Stop the bleeding!¡±


    Wang Qian had already lost count of how many gauzes he had used for hemostasis!


    One after another¡­ the gauzes piled up on the surgical sheet as if they were free.


    At this moment, Chen Cang also had to pay attention to the patient¡¯s vital signs, making timely adjustments if he noticed any problems!


    Chen Cang turned to the nurse:


    ¡°Keep infusing the plasma!¡±


    The nurse nodded, starting the transfusion of the repeatedly cross-checked plasma.


    Everyone was busily fulfilling their duties, organized under Chen Cang¡¯s command.


    Right then, the doors of the operating room swung open, and Li Baoshan entered, fresh from scrubbing in, followed by Tao Zi and Li Jianwei!


    The three pillars of the province¡¯s second hospital¡¯s surgery department had all arrived!


    The crowd cast sidelong glances.


    Seeing the three directors brought a wave of relief!


    But Chen Cang promptly admonished them, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡±


    Jing Ran jerked in response, and Wang Qian along with Zhang Xueliang dared not lift their heads, focusing intently on stopping the bleeding!


    At that moment, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t afford any carelessness.


    Chen Cang¡¯s strictness was not overdone¡ªnothing is more important than life at this moment!


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s reprimand, Li Baoshan paused, glancing at Tao Zi and Li Jianwei.


    Seeing that they maintained their composure without so much as a ripple, even he felt relieved!


    An order from the emperor may not be obeyed when one is outside of his reach!


    During surgery, a physician must not let their focus waver; they must dedicate their whole spirit to the task at hand!


    At this moment, Chen Cang was like a general in battle with the enemy.


    With the help of the nurse, Li Baoshan and his colleagues donned their surgical gowns and gingerly approached the surgical field, observing as Chen Cang supported the steel with one hand and carefully dissected with the other.


    His left hand, holding the steel, was as solid as Mount Tai, not budging a fraction!


    Even Li Jianwei was astonished.


    Chen¡¯s hands are so steady!


    Such strong arms.


    But still¡­


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    One minute¡­ Ten minutes¡­ Thirty minutes¡­ Sixty minutes¡­


    Li Jianwei was stunned!


    Was Chen Cang not tired?


    This was rebar, not a piece of paper; wouldn¡¯t you be tired even if it were just paper to hold it so steady for thirty minutes?


    The key point is that on the operating table, you must ensure the threaded steel doesn¡¯t tilt in the slightest.


    The dozen or so pairs of eyes surrounding Chen Cang were staring intently at him, feeling moved!


    The three directors had been in for an hour, and Chen Cang, motionless, as steady as a bell!


    Their hearts were tumultuous with emotions!


    The most deeply affected was Jing Ran, who was completely won over by Chen Cang¡¯s spirit.


    What kind of perseverance was this?


    What kind of strength was this!


    What kind of courage was this!


    Jing Ran was convinced!


    He was utterly convinced from the bottom of his heart!


    At this moment, the time was 1:15 PM.


    The approximately 60-centimeter-long blood-stained rebar was finally slowly extracted from the patient¡¯s body.


    Everyone¡¯s heart leaped with joy, and suddenly they even felt like applauding and cheering!


    But!


    Before everyone could get excited, the aorta ruptured!


    A jet of blood spurted out!


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes and hands moved quickly, ¡°Directly use your hand to plug it!¡±


    ¡°Ligate the blood vessel, give me the suturing thread, prepare for suturing immediately!¡±


    Chen Cang spoke rapidly, while Jing Ran quickly prepared the hemostat, and Wang Qian had already taken the suture needle from the nurse¡¯s hands.


    Chen Cang: ¡°Ligate!¡±


    ¡°Hemostatic gauze!¡±


    The seamless teamwork between Jing Ran and Wang Qian allowed Chen Cang to promptly take over the needle holder!


    Chen Cang¡¯s reaction was incredibly quick!


    The three directors standing behind him were taken aback, this level of emergency responsiveness was exactly what an outstanding and experienced attending physician needed to possess!


    And Chen Cang had it at that moment!


    On the operating table, things change in the blink of an eye, and without such adaptive capability, it¡¯s easy to be at a disadvantage!


    Just like in military campaigns, where circumstances on the battlefield change instantaneously, a general must make the most appropriate adjustments in a timely manner!


    Without a doubt, Chen Cang possessed this ability, and after taking the needle holder.


    He couldn¡¯t even rest before he began the tense task of blood vessel suturing.


    Arterial suturing has to be tight and swift!


    Chen Cang was highly skilled in vascular suturing.


    Jing Ran was a little worried, he opened his mouth wanting to speak, but after glancing at Chen Cang, he ultimately didn¡¯t say anything.


    However¡­ there was still some uneasiness. After Chen Cang¡¯s hands had been so tired, could he hold steady now?


    Vascular suturing is a delicate task, not a joke at all.


    It wasn¡¯t just Jing Ran; Tao Zi, Li Baoshan, and others also frowned.


    Tao Zi was about to step forward when he suddenly saw that Chen Cang had already started the suturing work!


    His hands were still very agile, and during the suturing, they were precise and orderly, rigorous yet flexible!


    Tao Zi watched in disbelief.


    He had seen Chen Cang¡¯s suturing before, knew it well, and knew he was great.


    But this was different from usual!


    How was it different?


    Think about it ¨C if you¡¯d been moving bricks for an hour and someone suddenly gave you a thread to sew clothes, could you control the strength and finesse properly?


    Very difficult, very difficult!


    However, looking at Chen Cang, it seemed to have no impact at all!


    At this moment, the three bigwigs¡¯ eyes were fixed on Chen Cang¡¯s hands and arms in shock.


    After the aortic suturing was complete, Chen Cang began repairing and suturing the venous damage.


    Time ticked away second by second!


    At this time, it was 2 o¡¯clock in the afternoon!


    The surgery was only one-third complete!


    The work that followed was even more critical¡­


    Could Chen Cang keep going?


    ¡°`

 Chapter 282 - Chapter 282: Chapter 283: The Life Was Saved!

    Chapter 282: Chapter 283: The Life Was Saved!


    The artificial blood vessel replacement was completed, and then the repair work on the bronchus and esophageal rupture began.


    In the room, the only ones skilled in this task were still Chen Cang and Jing Ran.


    The surgery had already been going on for three hours!


    But the rescue work had started at eight o¡¯clock in the morning!


    Chen Cang and Jing Ran had been tirelessly busy since a little after nine in the morning.


    Nearly five hours of fatigue, Jing Ran¡¯s body was already struggling to hold up, and the profuse sweating had caused a loss of body fluid, making Jing Ran somewhat exhausted.


    Chen Cang was still okay, his endurance was better, not too tired.


    Chen Cang looked up at Jing Ran, ¡°You take a break first, and in a while, come and deal with the lung contusion laceration!¡±


    Jing Ran stared at Chen Cang without saying much, nor did he leave, because he knew that the damage to the esophagus and trachea had to be repaired separately, which was also a very delicate task. Nobody else could be of much help, only Chen Cang and he were the experts in thoracic surgery present.


    Time continued to tick away¡­


    Chen Cang, Jing Ran, Wang Qian, and Zhang Xueliang, this quartet of young surgical team members, had long lost track of time.


    Look up to check the time?


    No!


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t dare, neither did they, their work never stopped.


    But they knew that much time must have passed.


    Because¡­ the gauzes used to stop the bleeding had filled up the surgery list!


    These pieces of gauze seemed to be the only standard in their eyes for recording time!


    The nurses had already prepared gauze three times, but it still seemed not enough!


    The three directors behind them were quite moved by the team in front of them.


    They were the medical baton passers!


    The heavy responsibility of healthcare would eventually fall to these youngsters.


    And among the youngsters, there was always a need for a leader.


    Today, Chen Cang had taken on that role. How old was he?


    To be able to achieve so much!


    Given time, where would his future upper limit be?


    ¡­


    After 45 minutes, the trachea and esophagus were successfully repaired!


    Chen Cang actively switched positions with Jing Ran, and looked up to ask, ¡°Can you manage it?¡±


    Was Jing Ran tired?


    Tired!


    But no matter how tired, he was holding on with determination, waiting for his turn to take over when Chen Cang became exhausted.


    Compared to Chen Cang, Jing Ran at least was much more relaxed.


    Chen Cang actually wanted to do the suturing as well, but¡­


    Bai Qiuen, the big shot, had already left!


    Chen Cang¡¯s ability to repair lung contusion lacerations was limited; he could at best offer some help.


    And Jing Ran was a professional. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t overreach; orderly division of labor was the precondition for a successful surgery!


    At this point, the cumulative amount of plasma input during surgery had reached 2500 milliliters for the patient!


    Chen Cang watched carefully, not just to offer help but also to learn!


    As a doctor, learning can never be neglected.


    Chen Cang held his breath and concentrated, earnestly learning Jing Ran¡¯s suturing techniques and handling methods.


    It had to be said, Jing Ran truly lived up to being a postdoctoral fellow from Fuwai, those techniques really impressed Chen Cang.


    With his participation, the success rate of this rescue operation had increased substantially.


    As time went on, the gauze used for hemostasis once again covered the surgery list, and the cumulative amount of plasma input for the patient during surgery had reached 3000 milliliters.


    At 17:33 in the afternoon!


    All damaged blood vessels and organs of the injured were successfully repaired.


    Chen Cang looked at the patient¡¯s vital signs.


    Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief!


    ¡°Life saved!¡±


    Four words, exhausting all his strength.


    When everyone around heard this sentence, they too finally relaxed.


    The young nurse preparing blood bags couldn¡¯t help her tears from falling.


    Who knew how excruciating these six or seven hours had been.


    Yet the joy of success was so captivating!


    Touching to the core!


    Tears of excitement, uncontrollably streaming down.


    The female doctor from the pathology department also couldn¡¯t help turning away to wipe her tears.


    Witnessing a group of young people resolutely rescuing a critically injured patient, nothing could be more moving than the emergency efforts in an operating room.


    This was the perfect representation of life!


    ¡°`


    This moment of glory belongs to this group of young doctors.


    And as for Chen Cang, who was responsible for this life-saving effort.


    The title of hero is well-deserved!


    Unfortunately, this is our job, no matter how excellent, how hardworking, how struggling, or how great you are, you won¡¯t be recognized like Guo Zhiyong.


    Because this is your duty!


    To save lives and heal the wounded!


    Your contributions, unseen by others.


    The only reward might just be witnessing the healthy smile of patients¡­


    Stories from the operating room unfold every day.


    Ordinary heroes emerge at all times.


    In heart-stopping moments, they touch our souls.


    Asking for little in return, only longing for a happy smile. (Original)


    The vascular repair and organ restoration were perfectly concluded, next was to fix and secure the fracture areas.


    Li Jianwei, who was behind the young team, already exhausted to their limits, stepped forward and said,


    ¡°Let us take over from here! Kids!¡±


    A single sentence signified the handover between two generations of medical workers.


    A single sentence carried on the mission.


    Chen Cang nodded; they really couldn¡¯t hold on any longer.


    More so, saving lives isn¡¯t about showing off strength; Chen Cang¡¯s earlier insistence on ignoring the directors behind them was not for show!


    It was because they couldn¡¯t be of any help.


    They couldn¡¯t afford to be distracted by their presence.


    The speciality of thoracic surgery is rather demanding, and even if experts like Li Baoshan were impressive, their specialisations limited them.


    And now?


    For orthopaedic surgery, Li Jianwei and his team were the best choice.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Mmm.¡±


    At this casually uttered ¡°Mmm,¡± the three young doctors finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Even hearing Vice President Li Jianwei¡¯s words didn¡¯t relax them, but with Chen Cang¡¯s word, they finally eased up.


    This was the conquest of strength!


    At this moment, Chen Cang was the true King of this surgery!


    Jing Ran gave a smile, stepped back, then suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, with a nurse quickly coming to his aid.


    ¡°Dr. Jing, are you okay?¡±


    Jing Ran smiled awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine! Just lost my balance a bit.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, passing him a few packs of glucose from the nearby surgery table, ¡°Have a drink.¡±


    Jing Ran smiled, looked at Chen Cang and said, ¡°Thank you!¡±


    The two exchanged smiles, each chugging down a 250ml bottle of glucose water.


    What a relief!


    They were truly worn out.


    From nine in the morning until six in the evening, nine hours of exhaustive work, more than six hours fully committed to surgery, without a single drop of water, missing lunch altogether.


    Moreover, with prolonged intense focus, nobody could withstand it!


    Chen Cang sat in a chair, looking at the ongoing surgery, feeling overtaken by weariness.


    Jing Ran simply sat on the ground right where he was, image be damned.


    Wang Qian and Zhang Xueliang, though not as spent as the other two, surely had it tough as well.


    After several more hours of steadfastness, at 21:30, this marathon eleven-hour surgery of ¡°long-distance, high-difficulty, and complexity¡± came to a smooth end.


    This surgery involved high-level cardiovascular technology, thoracic surgery techniques for the hilum and bronchus repair, as well as complex comprehensive fixation techniques for thoracic and rib fractures in orthopaedics, demanding a lot from the entire team.


    Yet, this makeshift army of young teams managed to ward off the Grim Reaper!


    At this moment, as everyone looked at the four utterly exhausted young people in the distance, applause broke out!


    The honor of this moment belonged to them!


    They were truly deserving!


    Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang, a smile breaking across his face, as if the weight on his shoulders had lightened considerably.


    ps: For now, three updates. There will be more tomorrow at noon. Thanks to Boss Ling for the Alliance Hierarch, and thanks to ¡°Xi Ge¡±, ¡°Bing Tian Mua Mua Da¡±, ¡°Poet Dreamer¡±, and Lu Renyi for their 10,000 rewards; thank you, everyone.


    Additionally, tomorrow¡¯s update is in honor of ¡°Grand Lady Gege¡±. These few chapters were quite tiring to write, so to ensure quality, I have not been writing too hastily.


    Finally, thanks for all the support!


    The veteran will give his all to write this book well, to share the joys and sorrows of medical workers. There will certainly be some frustrating elements in the story, but what I want to say is¡­ life is truly imperfect. Chasing after pure excitement will surely lead to a tasteless experience, too precious to discard.


    So I believe we should strive to immerse everyone in the role of ¡°medical workers¡±, to experience the diverse human conditions of patients ¡ª their happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. (To be honest, several times I¡¯ve written myself into tears, sigh!)


    So with that acknowledgment, I salute!


    Last but not least, about the monthly ticket¡­ cough cough, serious face/JPG!


    Asking for monthly tickets¡­ shamelessly.


    Asking for monthly tickets¡­ making a scene.

 Chapter 283 - Chapter 283: Chapter 284: You Actually Forgot Geng Heidai!

    Chapter 283: Chapter 284: You Actually Forgot Geng Heidai!


    The surgery was over, and the patient needed to be taken to the intensive care unit for follow-up monitoring and treatment.


    This battle without gunpowder had also entered its final stage.


    As they wheeled the patient out of the operating room, the family, the construction foreman, and a man who looked like a boss were anxiously waiting.


    Seeing them emerge, they eagerly asked:


    ¡°Doctor¡­ how is it?¡±


    Li Jianwei said, ¡°The operation was very successful, but he needs to be observed afterward, during this time in the intensive care unit.¡±


    The foreman nodded vehemently, ¡°Okay, okay, that¡¯s fine, as long as he¡¯s alive!¡±


    A plainly dressed middle-aged woman holding two children suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud!


    ¡°Doctor! Thank you, you saved my man!¡± Her voice was choked with emotion, and her tone was excited.


    ¡°Thank you, doctor!¡±


    The two boys, the elder around seventeen or eighteen, and the younger about seven or eight, also knelt on the ground.


    All the doctors rushed to bend down and help the family to their feet.


    The injured man wasn¡¯t local; he was a migrant worker, and the woman and children all spoke with a strong northern dialect.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay, this is our job!¡± Li Jianwei hurriedly helped the children to their feet and said.


    Chen Cang recalled the injured man¡¯s strong and determined face, which was filled with unwillingness and conviction; perhaps this family was this man¡¯s greatest commitment.


    Pierced in the chest by a steel rebar, he didn¡¯t make a sound from start to finish!


    Chen Cang guessed that perhaps at the moment he fell from the building and was pierced by the rebar, it wasn¡¯t his own life that the man thought of, but the insistence on staying alive because three loved ones needed him to protect them.


    This belief allowed him to stay silent and steadfast, never giving up.


    The greatness of life, the bond of family, everything that everyone had, helped this man to survive.


    Chen Cang had seen many people and saved many as well; he knew that often, the only one who can save you is yourself.


    You must have a determination to live on, to endure, to bear the pain, to grit your teeth, and even if you grind your teeth to bits, you must stay alert and tell yourself that you should live.


    The more he learned about medicine, the more he realized that many things are inexplicable by medical science.


    Hypertension cannot explain, diabetes cannot explain, even the common cold cannot explain, let alone life?


    Life is not just the orderly operation of organs.


    It is also the lifelong companionship of conviction!


    This man, he truly stood as tall as a mountain.


    Seeing this simple yet genuinely affectionate family, Chen Cang suddenly felt that everything was worth it.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After the patient was taken to the intensive care unit, Chen Cang and Jing Ran came out of the emergency room. Chen Cang took Jing Ran to a familiar old store, sat down at a barbecue stall by the side of the road, ordered a few bottles of beer, and a pile of skewers.


    The owner, looking at the two of them, said with a smile, ¡°Chen Cang, eat slowly, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen anyone use the skewers as chopsticks.¡±


    Chen Cang and Jing Ran couldn¡¯t care less, and after a binge of eating and drinking, they finally let out a sigh of relief!


    Truly fucking exhilarating!


    Why should one worry in life, just drink heartily and eat meat heartily, how joyful!


    Don¡¯t mock me for indulging in drink, for with a belly full of wine and food, I¡¯m good to save people.


    All right, you can¡¯t perform surgery when you¡¯ve been drinking.


    But today¡¯s surgery really made Chen Cang feel a bit of a thrill.


    Jing Ran was usually a particular person, always taking care of his precious hair, but now, due to sweating, his hair was a complete mess, blowing in the night breeze, bragging with Chen Cang.


    After a long while, Jing Ran suddenly looked at Chen Cang and said, ¡°I always feel like I¡¯ve forgotten something!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, a twinge in his heart, ¡°Me too, a bit!¡±


    They exchanged a glance, ¡°Didn¡¯t leave the gauze in the chest cavity, did we?¡±


    Thinking this, they both felt their hearts thumping chaotically.


    It always felt like some thoughts were unsettling!


    Because they really felt like they had left something behind.


    But what was it?


    Suddenly, the phone rang, and Jing Ran saw the caller ID!


    He burst out laughing, ¡°What did I say I had forgotten! I forgot about Geng Yan!¡±


    ¡°Hahahahaha¡­¡±


    Chen Cang also came to a sudden realization. That¡¯s right, today was the day to accompany his parents to look at houses. Damn, he had almost left them at the sales office; what time was it already.


    Chen Cang dialed Chen Luo¡¯s phone, and it was quickly answered.


    ¡°Hello? Chen Luo¡­ you guys¡­¡±


    Chen Luo asked with concern, ¡°Brother, is the surgery over?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and smiled, ¡°Yeah! Just finished, pulled through. I almost forgot about you guys¡­ that¡¯s what happens when I get busy.¡±


    Chen Luo laughed, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m here! With me here, you don¡¯t have to worry about Mom and Dad.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°How are Mom and Dad?¡±


    Chen Luo said with a laugh, ¡°Haha, we are having dinner, and the restaurant has roasted whole lamb, haha¡­ Mom insisted on packing some for you, they wouldn¡¯t let her, so she sneakily stuffed it into the bag you bought her, now there¡¯s a sheepy smell inside it, and she¡¯s out there washing the bag! Haha¡­¡±


    Having heard this, Chen Cang also started to laugh awkwardly.


    Chen Cang smiled, not feeling embarrassed because his parents didn¡¯t know the etiquette, nor did he mock or blame them. His generation never experienced five-star hotels, nor such environments. Yang Jiahui was just one of the ordinary thousands of rural housewives. She didn¡¯t have much education or a broad range of knowledge. He only cared about having something good to eat tonight and whether he could bring some back for the children.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t mind; he was willing to foot the bill for his parents¡¯ actions.


    Just like how many times we made mistakes as kids, and our parents always paid for them.


    Life is actually a cycle.


    When we were young, we didn¡¯t understand anything. Our parents took care of us, raised us, and paid for our mistakes, sitting us down to tell us we couldn¡¯t do that.


    As we grew up, we felt that we understood more, whereas our parents understood less and less, until they couldn¡¯t keep up with the times. They started getting tricked, doing things we found laughable. At this time, we should take on the responsibility and obligation to help them, using the same heart with which they selflessly raised us, to care for them in their old age, pay for their mistakes, and sit down to talk with them.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Chen Luo, you go enjoy the hot springs with Mom and Dad. I¡¯ll take a taxi back. Tell Mom, I¡¯ll accompany her to buy clothes tomorrow, and get a new bag.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang looked at Jing Ran still there, grinning foolishly.


    Chen Cang was somewhat astonished¡­


    You, are you all brains?


    Seeing Chen Cang finishing the call, Jing Ran said with a smile, ¡°The surgery was done so earnestly that you accidentally forgot Geng Yan; that¡¯s really funny!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    Funny, is it?


    This guy might do surgery well and have a high IQ, but¡­ definitely not a high EQ.


    Jing Ran continued, ¡°I told Geng Yan that after the surgery, you dragged me out for barbecue, and asked her to join us so I could introduce you two.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed again!


    Nice one, Jing Ran, setting me up again¡­


    I dragged you out for barbecue?


    Telling you not to contact Geng Yan?


    First it was me convincing you not to send the pictures of hydatid cysts!


    Now it¡¯s me dragging you out for barbecue, asking you to leave Geng Yan aside!


    Are you trying to get Geng Heidai to chop me up?

 Chapter 285 - Chapter 285: Chapter 286: Perfect Level!

    Chapter 285: Chapter 286: Perfect Level!


    Just as Chen Cang reached the door, he suddenly heard the system¡¯s notification sound!


    ¡°Ding! Congratulations, the rescue was successful, suturing the ¡®Damaged Esophagus Monster¡¯, ¡®Damaged Vascular Monster¡¯, ¡®Damaged Trachea Monster¡¯, reward calculation: 1. Pericardial surgery skill pack; 2. Perfect ECG interpretation.¡±


    A flash of golden light whisked by, almost blinding Chen Cang!


    In an instant, Chen Cang was startled.


    He had been so engrossed in the rescue that he hadn¡¯t even thought about the task rewards.


    Now that the patient was saved, it was time to collect the rewards.


    Chen Cang noticed a problem: the system had learned to be lazy, whereas before it would give individual rewards for each monster, now it gave a big reward all at once.


    It must have treated the patient¡¯s overall illness as a single instance, finally beginning the settlement.


    But clearly, this was a good thing. While the types and quantities of items he received were much fewer, the quality of the items and skills was completely different, greatly increasing the chances of getting better items.


    Just like the present golden light, which meant a perfect-level skill!


    At this thought, Chen Cang felt a secret thrill.


    He opened the virtual screen and saw two items in the inventory, one purple and one gold.


    Chen Cang reached for the golden one first.


    ¡°ECG Clinical Interpretation: Perfect level!¡±


    Chen Cang felt an inexplicable joy in his heart, this was a great item.


    An ECG could reveal so many subtle things, Chen Cang even believed it was the best invention in the history of cardiology development, its emergence significantly advanced the prevention and treatment of heart disease in humans.


    Moreover, an ECG only cost about twenty dollars, affordable and informative, capable of showing many important clues.


    Chen Cang, being a surgeon, had a very ordinary understanding of ECGs¡­ well, he could recognize just a few common waveforms.


    Things like ST elevation myocardial infarction with a bow-back pattern or ST segment depression due to myocardial ischemia¡­ If using a medical exam teacher¡¯s words, pointed at both ends was the pulmonary pattern¡­


    And now he had acquired a perfect-level skill.


    Unable to contain his joy, Chen Cang immediately chose to learn!


    ECG interpretation, as a fundamental clinical skill, was really essential. An invisible burst of light passed, countless ECG images flickered through Chen Cang¡¯s mind, each patient coming with an ECG, different stages, different waveforms¡­


    The second item piqued Chen Cang¡¯s curiosity, what was a pericardial surgery skill pack?


    ¡°Ding! Pericardial surgery skill pack, you can choose to acquire any type of pericardial surgery and directly elevate it to master level.¡±


    Perhaps many people know about the heart but not the pericardium.


    The pericardium is actually the heart¡¯s ¡®clothing¡¯!


    It¡¯s a thin membrane that wraps around the heart, and between the pericardium and heart wall there is serous fluid, which serves to lubricate the myocardium, allowing the heart to move without friction against the chest cavity and causing damage.


    Many times, diseases of the pericardium are also very dangerous and can be life-threatening!


    Acquiring such a surgical skill was quite good for Chen Cang from the emergency department.


    And¡­ the most, most important thing was, pericardial surgery is not only cardiac surgery but can also be categorized as thoracic surgery.


    Chen Cang felt that his thoracic professional skill score could now be increased a bit.


    With two skills acquired, Chen Cang was truly satisfied, feeling not the least bit tired today!


    But then, good things come in pairs.


    ¡°Ding! For actively organizing rescue efforts and successfully saving the life of a critical patient, you have passed the medical ethics and compassion test, gaining +3 skill points.¡±


    Chen Cang stroked his fingers, and smiled slightly.


    Others get stronger by paying money.


    He, on the other hand, gets stronger by saving people.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Back at Yueyang Villa, soaking in the hot spring and eating the lamb leg his mother acquired, Chen Cang wondered what could be happier than this moment?


    That evening, due to the National Day celebration, Yueyang Villa had various performances. There were dances by ethnic minorities full of style, a bonfire party organized in the neighboring orchard, various movies screening at the cinema, and the swimming pool was open 24 hours.


    A three-day pass granted the Chen family of four an unprecedented surprise.


    After the party ended, when the gift was handed to him, Chen Cang realized that this VIP ticket seemed different from others.


    Chen Cang casually asked a waiter, ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the difference between this pass and the regular ones?¡±


    The waiter smiled slightly, ¡°Hello, this is a first-class pass, we don¡¯t issue many of these.¡±


    It was then that Chen Cang came to his senses!


    A first-class pass to Yueyang Villa, what kind of pharmaceutical company would give something like this?


    They must be rolling in it!


    Only then did Chen Cang realize why their hotel rooms were suites and why they had whole roasted lambs for dinner¡­ Such treatment was far from ordinary.


    For a moment, Chen Cang thought of Chen Dahai¡¯s face and couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Chen Dahai had always been pretty good to him.


    The next day, they didn¡¯t go to see the house; after a day of rest, the family prepared to head home.


    Chen Dahai was ready to brag about their experiences, feeling almost uncomfortable from the anticipation.


    Yang Jiahui repeatedly lectured him and insisted on leaving behind the 150,000 yuan. After much persuasion from Chen Cang, who nearly had to show a proof of assets, they barely managed to give it back.


    After much thought, Yang Jiahui took out another 10,000 yuan and handed it to Chen Luo.


    ¡°Second brother, study hard and do your best. Your dad and I haven¡¯t seen much of the world. You¡¯re grown up now and understand more than us. I won¡¯t nag you anymore. If you need anything, call us; don¡¯t be as stubborn as your dad.¡±


    ¡°If something comes up, ask your elder brother for help. Eldest, help Chen Luo with whatever you can. You¡¯re his brother, it¡¯s your responsibility to be warm-hearted¡­¡±


    Yang Jiahui was better at educating than Chen Dahai, who was just stubborn and not very expressive. Since they were young, their entire homework was tutored by Yang Jiahui, who only had a middle school education.


    After repeating her advice several times, the two boarded the train home.


    That evening, the brothers drank freely, Chen Cang getting somewhat dizzy and Chen Luo starting to talk nonsense!


    ¡°Bro, rest assured, your little brother is no coward; I¡¯ll definitely keep my promises and buy you a big house in the future.¡±


    ¡°And for mom and dad, I¡¯ll definitely make something of myself.¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Luo was sick multiple times that night and didn¡¯t get up until almost noon the next day. After a quick meal, he went back to school.


    Chen Cang also needed to prepare to meet his mentor Meng Xi after the National Day holiday was over.


    The National Day holiday was finally coming to an end.


    After the start of the semester at Dongyang Medical University, postgraduates would have a month of intensive courses. Chen Cang had listened to a few classes but skipped most of them.


    However, after the National Day, all postgraduates would begin their standardized medical training program, of course, Chen Cang was the exception.


    Chen Cang¡¯s training hospital was the Provincial Second Hospital, his home base. He just needed to make a call to the training center and he could continue to stay in the department.


    But the only thing different from before was that he might need to follow his mentor¡¯s instructions.


    This meant learning under the guidance of his mentor, perhaps one or two days a week, so Chen Cang had to make an effort to schedule his time properly.


    Working with Director Meng Xi was a big deal, and triggering a hidden profession wasn¡¯t something that could be taken lightly, with a heap of enviable purple skills on the line.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but be curious, how could he increase Director Meng¡¯s favorability?


    Pulling out his phone to search, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up as a long list of books appeared on the search page, forcing him to acknowledge the immense power of Internet users:


    ¡°How to Please a Wealthy Lady,¡± ¡°A Guide to Conquering Rich Ladies¡±¡­

 Chapter 286 - Chapter 286: Chapter 287: Director Ans Breakthrough!

    Chapter 286: Chapter 287: Director An¡¯s Breakthrough!


    On Monday morning during the shift handover, Li Baoshan brought some news.


    ¡°I have good news for everyone; our Emergency Department¡¯s talent recruitment plan has been completed. We¡¯ve brought in a deputy chief of thoracic surgery and a doctoral graduate in hand surgery. They might start working within the next month. When that time comes, everyone¡¯s burden should lighten a bit.¡±


    At this point, Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Especially you, Chen. You¡¯ve really worked hard during this time. Once our new members arrive, you¡¯ll be able to rearrange your own time.¡±


    ¡°You should also adjust your schedule a bit, since as a graduate student, you need to learn some real stuff, not just for the sake of a degree. After all, in the future, the care of our emergency department¡¯s cardiac cases will still depend on you, and your responsibilities are not light!¡±


    Li Baoshan was rarely happy, and everyone else also smiled.


    Seeing the progress and development of the provincial hospital¡¯s Emergency Department, everyone¡¯s spirits were increasingly high.


    Meanwhile, Director An had been profoundly engrossed in the Chen Method, not going anywhere during the recent National Day holiday, staying at home every day to buy pig trotters and chicken feet for his wife, wholeheartedly studying and pondering the Chen Method.


    Throughout the morning, several patients arrived consecutively, and Chen Cang and An Yanjun headed into the operating room to begin the day¡¯s Tendon Suture Surgery.


    Today An Yanjun decided to give it a try on his own; after all, after seven days of intense focus, he definitely should have made a breakthrough!


    This time, he was determined to impress Chen Cang!


    So, upon entering, An Yanjun volunteered, ¡°Chen, shall I do it? You can give me some guidance.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Alright.¡±


    Chen Cang opened his task panel and saw that the Tendon Suture Surgery had been performed 499 times, just one short of completing the 500 surgeries milestone and also reaching the minor surgical goal. Chen Cang was curious to see what he would get upon achieving this minor goal.


    With this in mind, Chen Cang was not in a rush; he was certain he would complete the task today.


    After the anesthetic took effect, An Yanjun began the suturing work.


    Looking at the extent of the tendon damage, An Yanjun tried to forget the other suture techniques he had learned initially and recalled Chen Cang¡¯s method, considering how to proceed based on the patient¡¯s condition.


    Chen Cang stood by, observing. During this time, Director An had been studying diligently, but he had yet to break through in Tendon Suture Surgery, and Chen Cang was also looking for the reason why.


    However, he couldn¡¯t quite put his finger on it. Director An¡¯s suturing skills were very good, and the methods he chose were not bad either, but why couldn¡¯t he break through to mastery?


    Chen Cang was curious too!


    Although he was there to guide, in the end, with medicine, one probably has to rely on oneself.


    At that moment, the surgery began, and An Yanjun started the suturing work.


    With practiced techniques and impeccable sutures, everything followed a clear pattern, and Chen Cang watched closely.


    Finally, he vaguely discovered something!


    Chen Cang felt a surge of joy within¡ª he had found it!


    He finally understood what it was.


    Director An¡¯s suturing was too¡­ strict!


    That was it!


    It was too deliberately following a set of rules, lacking a kind of creativity.


    This might be related to Director An¡¯s personality.


    Director An has a very strong sense of principle in his personal and professional life, adhering strictly to the hospital¡¯s protocols and procedures, rarely making mistakes.


    Similarly, this was how he sutured!


    His understanding of the methods was profound, and his progress with the Chen Method was rapid, even seeing some results.


    But what is the core of the Chen Method?


    It is adaptability!


    Director An, in his adherence to strict rules, was learning Chen Cang¡¯s suturing techniques, not the thought process.


    ¡°`


    With that thought in mind, Chen Cang looked at An Yanjun¡¯s suturing and suddenly said, ¡°Director An, when you are suturing the last part, try using the Bunnell suture method to remove the wire knot operation.¡±


    An Yanjun gave an acknowledgment and nodded in agreement.


    After some reflection, he began suturing!


    However, as he inserted the double-needle suture, An Yanjun suddenly paused.


    In his mind, like a flash of lightning, countless clues and an abundance of inspiration passed by!


    Spontaneously!


    An Yanjun¡¯s brow lifted in joy, a sincere happiness spreading in his heart!


    It seemed he had suddenly found the crux of the issue.


    For years, the obstacle that had been in his way was suddenly overcome.


    In this moment, he felt his Tendon Suture Surgery skills had made a qualitative leap!


    Indescribable, but that was the feeling.


    Moreover, he found that his mastery over the Chen technique was deepening too.


    But An Yanjun did not let his guard down; at this moment, he finally understood why Chen Cang had him suddenly use this suturing method half-way through, because the essence of the Bunnell suture method lay right here!


    An Yanjun also instantly recognized his shortcomings, and in a flash of realization, he understood that in learning Tendon Suture Surgery, he had been confined to a dogmatic box, lacking the ability to skillfully apply various methods.


    This limitation had held him back!


    And if it weren¡¯t for Chen Cang, An Yanjun wouldn¡¯t know how long it would have taken him to break through!


    In fact, having Chen Cang around was truly a stroke of luck; finding someone like him was indeed difficult!


    Yet, a terrifying thought suddenly occurred to An Yanjun.


    If Chen Cang could understand his shortcomings and assist in his breakthrough¡­ did that mean he was completely capable of mastering any tendon suture technique?


    Realizing this, An Yanjun involuntarily swallowed.


    When Chen Cang first arrived in emergency, he knew nothing about Tendon Suture Surgery.


    Back then¡­ it was he who had taught him¡­


    An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help feeling a surge of emotions.


    However, considering Chen Cang¡¯s natural talent for skin suturing, his excellent vascular suturing skills¡­ An Yanjun had an epiphany.


    Chen might have a special knack for suturing and mending, right?


    At this moment, An Yanjun nodded, people indeed need to have talent, and it seems Chen has found the right direction.


    The surgery concluded!


    Chen Cang received a long-awaited system prompt.


    [Ding! Under your guidance, An Yanjun¡¯s Tendon Suture Surgery has broken through to an advanced level, successfully earning +3 Skill Points!]


    Now with 20 skill points in hand, Chen Cang possessed the ability to handle even the most complex cases, at the very least he would not be at a loss anymore.


    In the morning, Director An was called away for a consultation, and emergency received a patient with finger trauma.


    However, the patient¡¯s condition was slightly more serious, with a fracture in the phalanx that also required stabilization.


    After completing the necessary examinations, Chen Cang began organizing the surgery.


    About to break the milestone of 500 surgeries, Chen Cang decided to let Qin Yue, the bootlicker, join in the momentous occasion.

 Chapter 287 - Chapter 287: Chapter 288: Redeeming Honor

    Chapter 287: Chapter 288: Redeeming Honor


    ¡°`


    Tan Zhonglin has been in particularly good spirits lately!


    He¡¯s been devoutly practicing the Chen method these past few days, getting thoroughly lost in a sea of pig trotters¡ªHeaven knows what he¡¯s gone through.


    As the saying goes, a sharp sword is forged by grinding, and tendon surgery springs from pig trotters!


    The more bitter the toil,


    the closer to the superior man one becomes!


    Many a pig trotter he ate,


    the deeper his understanding of tendons became.


    The only thing souring Tan¡¯s mood was the cost; with the rising prices of pig trotters, his pocket money dwindled.


    Having finally dealt with the department¡¯s work, Tan Zhonglin decided to go to the Provincial Second Hospital to show off his skills to Director An!


    To go head-to-head with An Yanjun in the major leagues, and vie for that position as Chen Cang¡¯s assistant.


    Just thinking about An Yanjun¡¯s surprised face when he saw him using the Chen method, Tan couldn¡¯t help the surge of smugness.


    In the midst of conversation, he arrived at the Provincial Second Hospital.


    Luckily, the nurses there had gotten used to this visiting director from the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.


    Tan first checked the office and found neither Chen Cang nor An Yanjun; his mouth twitched in disappointment, sighing, ¡°The nearer to the water, the earlier the moon is seen.¡±


    They must have gone to surgery.


    With that thought, Tan decided to visit the operating rooms.


    But just as he was about to leave, he unexpectedly bumped into An Yanjun who had just returned from a consultation.


    Tan greeted him with a small smile, ¡°Director An, it¡¯s been a while!¡±


    An Yanjun returned the smile cordially, ¡°Yes, Director Tan, you look well-rested after the National Day break.¡±


    Tan nodded and chuckled, ¡°You¡¯re looking rather fresh yourself, Director An!¡±


    An Yanjun paused, ¡°Huh? Well, now that you mention it, your skin¡¯s been looking pretty good lately too.¡±


    A chill went through both their hearts!


    Had they been eating too many pig trotters recently?


    Was it an excessive collagen boost?


    But this was their secret weapon, to be used for showing off later, so naturally, it couldn¡¯t be disclosed.


    After exchanging pleasantries, Tan suddenly asked, ¡°Where¡¯s the young Chen?¡±


    An Yanjun shook his head and asked Nurse Lin, ¡°Lin, where did young Chen go?¡±


    Lin replied, ¡°A patient with a hand injury just came in; Dr. Chen took them, and now¡­ he should be in the operating room.¡±


    Their eyes brightened ¨C an opportunity to strut their stuff had presented itself!


    They exchanged a knowing smile, full of warmth.


    Yet their hearts were brimming with drama!


    An Yanjun had just made a breakthrough, his aura bold and strong.


    Tan possessed deep understanding and was still vigorous despite his age.


    As they talked, they arrived at the emergency room¡¯s orthopedic operating room.


    Upon entering, they found Chen Cang and Qin Yue completely focused on a surgery, so they crept up quietly, not wanting to disturb.


    After moving closer, they realized it was a patient with a hand injury accompanied by a fractured phalanx.


    A phalanx fixation was required.


    Didn¡¯t Chen say he didn¡¯t know how to do this kind of surgery?


    With this thought, Tan glanced questioningly at An Yanjun, who also shook his head, equally puzzled.


    Chen had said he didn¡¯t know phalangeal surgery last time, yet now he was doing it with Qin Yue?


    With their curiosity piqued,


    they watched silently, completely engrossed in Chen¡¯s surgery.


    The technique for a phalangeal fracture is extremely important because there are nerves, blood vessels, and tendons around the phalanges. Poor handling can easily damage the inherent nerves and blood vessels as well as the tendons.


    Such damage is very detrimental to recovery. Particularly after tendon injury, it can lead to severe tendon adhesions, which impedes the functional recovery of the fingers.


    Therefore, choosing the right surgical approach for the phalangeal surgery is crucial!


    They saw Chen Cang carefully making an S-shaped incision at the joint above the fracture site, between these intervals, which involves lifting the surrounding skin flaps and pulling away the extensor retinaculum to reach the fracture.


    Without long-term training, it¡¯s tough to perform this process adeptly.


    Yet¡­ to Tan¡¯s astonishment, Chen¡¯s incision method was precise and swift, exuding the mastery of an expert.


    At that moment, they were both dumbfounded.


    ¡°`


    Chen Cang isn¡¯t skilled at finger bone surgery, is he?


    Tan Zhonglin¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he recalled the time Chen Cang had allowed him to perform the surgery¡­ Suddenly, Tan Zhonglin had a horrifying thought.


    Could it be that Chen Cang was displaying false modesty?


    To save face for him, deliberately giving him a chance to show off?


    At this thought, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s face turned red!


    Look at Chen, so highly principled and morally upright.


    You actually believed that Chen really couldn¡¯t do it!


    Tan Zhonglin, Tan Zhonglin, you can¡¯t even compare to a twenty-something youngster!


    The more he thought about it, the redder Tan Zhonglin¡¯s face became.


    And just at that moment, An Yanjun gave Tan Zhonglin a thoughtful look.


    At that glance, Tan¡¯s face suddenly flushed from his forehead to his belly button.


    However, upon closer examination, the difficulty of finger bone surgery was indeed considerable.


    After all, the incision method is just the first step!


    The treatment of finger bone fractures focuses on accurately repositioning the fracture, achieving firm fixation, and starting rehabilitative exercises as early as possible to restore the dexterity of the finger.


    For open fractures, open reduction and internal fixation should be done.


    Repositioning is of utmost importance; Tan Zhonglin observed carefully with a discerning eye.


    Chen Cang, after quickly and accurately repositioning the finger bone, took over the Kirschner wire and began fixing it meticulously!


    This series of actions flowed smoothly like running water!


    This doesn¡¯t look like the work of a junior doctor, does it?


    Such style!


    At this point, Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    One should always remain humble in life!


    Having just come to show off his skills, Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but learn a lesson.


    That is, when Chen Cang says he can¡¯t do something in the future, he must humbly smile.


    After the bone was set, Chen Cang began the suturing and repair work of the tendons, blood vessels, and nerves, step by step, methodically.


    Qin Yue¡¯s cooperation was also very much in sync.


    Before long, the surgery was complete!


    Chen Cang stretched lazily, looking at the admiration in Qin Yue¡¯s big eyes signified by ¡°666¡±.


    Chen Cang was extremely satisfied.


    Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly noticed Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun standing behind him and was taken aback, ¡°You guys¡­ why are you here?¡±


    Tan Zhonglin awkwardly smiled, ¡°Came over to learn a bit about tendon suturing from little Chen.¡±


    An Yanjun also silently nodded.


    How could he not be flustered, having thought that Chen Cang was only good at patching things up, and never expected him to be capable of finger bone fracture surgery.


    This is such a blow¡­


    Tan Zhonglin laughed awkwardly and said, ¡°Little Chen, your finger bone surgery is really well done!¡±


    Chen Cang, looking at Tan Zhonglin, was also somewhat embarrassed, after all, learning by stealth still made one feel somewhat shy.


    ¡°It was decent; Director Tan is a good teacher. I learned a lot from observing his surgery last time, and that¡¯s what made today¡¯s surgery possible.¡±


    Chen Cang was telling the truth, but it sounded different to the two men!


    An Yanjun suddenly remembered Tan Zhonglin¡¯s surgery; he realized Chen Cang did bear a striking resemblance to it!


    Even Tan Zhonglin was stunned¡­


    Are you teasing me?


    I spent so long trying to learn from you, practically running my legs off going back and forth to the Second Provincial Hospital, buying how many pig feet, only to have learned the basics¡­


    And you just watch one of my surgeries and steal my finger bone fracture technique?


    At this thought, Tan Zhonglin felt like he wasn¡¯t getting the better end of the deal!


    But there was nothing he could do about it, after all, the other guy had learned it fair and square. What could you say?


    With that thought, a wave of desolation suddenly washed over him.


    ps: Only three updates for today. I have to step out for something tomorrow, so there won¡¯t be a noon update at twelve, but I will make it up in the evening. Don¡¯t worry, when old hands promise something, they deliver.


    Finally, thanks to Old Niu 88 for the 10,000 reward. Thank you!

 Chapter 288 - Chapter 288: Chapter 289: Jing Rans Gift

    Chapter 288: Chapter 289: Jing Ran¡¯s Gift


    Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun followed Chen Cang out of the office.


    The two, who had been full of ambition, were now like frost-bitten eggplants.


    They originally thought they could show off their skills and impress Chen Cang, but after arriving, before they could say a word, they had already been shown up by Chen Cang¡¯s abilities!


    Just as Tan Zhonglin was about to sigh, he suddenly glanced at An Yanjun.


    He soon came to a realization. Right! Why compare himself with Chen Cang?


    He was here to learn the Tendon Suture Surgery, and that Chen Cang was the researcher of the Chen method, while An Yanjun and he were supposed to be from the same school of thought. How could an apprentice compare with his master?


    Wasn¡¯t that just asking for trouble?


    Besides, that finger bone fracture operation was a common skill in hand surgery, and it made total sense that Chen Cang knew it.


    As for Chen Cang learning from him¡­


    That was his own ability. He hadn¡¯t even had time to teach Chen Cang, yet Chen Cang had already mastered it.


    The Chen method was far more valuable than his own finger bone fracture operation. Little Chen had taught him wholeheartedly. It was this sincere attitude that was truly worth learning.


    Ultimately, medicine is a discipline of experience, where everyone has their own insights and unique perspectives.


    Only through exchange can progress be made.


    Tan Zhonglin genuinely admired Chen Cang¡¯s selfless attitude.


    Moreover, the intricacies of the Chen method were still elusive to Tan Zhonglin. It truly was an advanced suture technique.


    Comparing himself to little Chen was just seeking trouble!


    After much thought, Tan Zhonglin suddenly felt that as long as he could outperform Director An, the pig trotters he had eaten over the last few days would not have been in vain.


    Having made up his mind, Tan Zhonglin suddenly felt refreshed and his mood lifted.


    However, what Tan Zhonglin was curious about was why Director An seemed so calm and composed now.


    Could he guarantee a win against him?


    Thinking this, Tan Zhonglin felt a hint of nervousness, a sensation he hadn¡¯t experienced in the decades since his graduation¡­


    Qin Yue walked in front of the two directors with Chen Cang, always feeling a bit uncomfortable!


    After all, where does it usually happen that a junior doctor walks in front, with directors trailing behind?


    But¡­


    Looking at Chen Cang walking ahead confidently, with Director An and Director Tan respectfully following behind, she found it an odd sensation¡­


    Most importantly, standing beside Chen Cang at this moment made her seem somewhat impolite.


    Yet, every time she unconsciously slowed her pace to let the two directors go first, Chen Cang would also slow down, and once Chen Cang slowed down, the two behind casually followed suit¡­


    Qin Yue was baffled. What was wrong with these directors?


    But with the two directors present, she didn¡¯t dare to speak or ask.


    Could it be¡­ Could it be that Chen Cang held some leverage over them?


    At this thought, Qin Yue¡¯s eyes lit up, filled with wild gossip and curiosity.


    [Ding! Completion of 500 Tendon Suture Surgeries achieved, reward: Tendon Rehabilitation Guide.]


    [Ding! Clinical Small Target Mission of completing 500 surgeries achieved, reward: Jing Ran¡¯s Gift.]


    Looking at the two gifts, Chen Cang unconsciously slowed his steps. The Tendon Rehabilitation Guide was self-explanatory, though currently not needed by him, it surely was something valuable.


    The second item, Jing Ran¡¯s Gift?


    [Jing Ran¡¯s Gift: Upon opening, randomly acquire one basic skill from Jing Ran.]


    Chen Cang was overjoyed. It was a loot task!


    Considering that these tasks all appeared from interactions with Jing Ran, Chen Cang wondered if by completing them, he could poach Jing Ran¡¯s skills one after another?


    With that thought, Chen Cang casually activated the reward.


    [Ding! Opening Jing Ran¡¯s Gift, basic skill acquired: Chest Thoracostomy (Master level).]


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded. How could it be such a simple, devoid of skill, entry-level, I-already-have-it kind of ability¡­


    Thoracic puncture is one of the most commonly used skills in clinical practice, and since coming to the hospital, Chen Cang had learned it more than just ten or eight times. Even now, it was a skill he needed to use every two or three days. Chen Cang¡¯s thoracic punctures were quite commendable, often getting requested by doctors from the pulmonology department to consult and help with some of the more challenging punctures.


    Of course, most thoracic punctures were manageable by the pulmonology doctors, but some particular cases were better handled with the help from emergency or surgical doctors.


    Chen Cang¡¯s thoracic punctures were somewhat renowned, frequently getting him tasked by the science education department to give lessons on the procedure to interns.


    After all, the surgeons had a certain understanding of human anatomy and thoracic diseases.


    Chen Cang¡¯s own thoracic puncture technique was already at an advanced level, and it came with a safe special effect.


    So, obtaining such a skill, to be honest, Chen Cang still felt it was a bit of a useless gift.


    But something is better than nothing, and he decided to consider it an upgrade for himself.


    [Ding! Detected that you already possess Advanced Thoracic Puncture Technique, automatically upgraded to Master Level while retaining the special effect.]


    [Thoracic Puncture Technique: Master Level; Special Effects: 1. Precise Positioning; 2. Ultrasonic Positioning; 3. Safety;]


    When Chen Cang received the system notification, he was immediately stunned. The system was definitely his flesh and blood!


    Such a good father!


    Could there even be such a slick maneuver?


    Thinking about it, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but burst into happiness.


    Although it was at master level, he now had three special effects, retaining his own Safety and adding two new ones: Precise Positioning and Ultrasonic Positioning.


    With any skill, master level represents the most significant gap.


    Because the distance from master to perfection is so vast, you continuously improve your strength, endowing your procedure with some characteristic. Once all special effects are in place, your skill will tend to be perfect.


    At this moment, Chen Cang¡¯s thoracic puncture was a result of a combination of his own and Jing Ran¡¯s strengths.


    In essence, master level means that you have enough understanding of that specific procedure to produce two levels of special effects.


    A nice gain!


    It looks like I need to push Jing Ran a bit on his learning progress and strive to enhance my capabilities.


    There were still two tendon suture surgeries to go through today, and while Chen Cang initially didn¡¯t want to participate, Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun insisted on dragging him along, leaving Qin Yue looking utterly baffled.


    Out of curiosity, Qin Yue followed them.


    But¡­


    The scene in the operating room exceeded her expectations.


    In the first surgery, Chief An took the lead with Tan Zhonglin assisting. Chen Cang noticed that Chief An seemed to have had an epiphany today, making great strides in skill, deeply absorbing Chen Cang¡¯s teachings. The Chen method could now be executed proficiently.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help nodding, genuinely expressing, ¡°Not bad. Chief An did well; I think the suturing passes.¡±


    After hearing Chen Cang¡¯s appraisal, An Yanjun was overjoyed, sporting a smile on his face. Even the way he looked at Tan Zhonglin was filled with a sense of superiority and triumph of the major ward!


    Whereas Tan Zhonglin was so annoyed he could huff and puff with fervor, eager to show his mettle.


    Finding it hard to wait for the second surgery, he started operating without a word!


    There was no denying that experience counts. Director Tan¡¯s tendon suturing had made significant advancement compared to before, with the Chen method taking shape confidently, prompting Chen Cang to nod in approval again.


    The three men shared a subtle smile.


    Men¡¯s happiness can be so simple!


    A single tendon could bring so much joy.


    Looking at the three of them, Qin Yue suddenly felt they were incredibly childish!


    Just like kindergarten kids comparing who has the best toy, whose handwriting is the prettiest, or whose homework is the neatest.


    She sniffed at it!


    But then again¡­ thinking about it, how could Chen Cang be so formidable!


    To the point where he had two chiefs vying for his favor.

 Chapter 289 - Chapter 289: Chapter 290: Meng Xis Arrangements

    Chapter 289: Chapter 290: Meng Xi¡¯s Arrangements


    After finally getting rid of two department head followers, Chen Cang managed to break free and arrived at Dongda First Hospital before five o¡¯clock.


    When he reached the Department of Cardiac Surgery, he found everyone busily at work.


    His own mentor, Director Meng, wasn¡¯t in the office, but¡­ Doctor Ge Huai, who had once competed with him in suturing, was there!


    Chen Cang hurried over, ¡°Doctor Ge, hello.¡±


    Ge Huai turned around, looking at Chen Cang with a slight startle. It had been over a month, and to be honest, Ge Huai didn¡¯t quite remember Chen Cang.


    After all, it was only a brief encounter, ¡°You are¡­?¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Ge Huai and smiled, ¡°Doctor Ge, I am a student of Director Meng.¡±


    Ge Huai suddenly realized, and his expression was somewhat exaggerated, ¡°Oh! You¡¯re that¡­ what¡¯s his name!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed. If only that over-the-top acting had some sincerity, it would have been perfect.


    It seemed that the lesson from his last failure wasn¡¯t harsh enough. Thinking this, Chen Cang made up his mind not to go easy next time.


    Others take a loss to heart. Just look at Xiao Yan, ¡°Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, don¡¯t take advantage of the young and poor,¡± how well said!


    But you, you¡¯ve forgotten it already.


    Chen Cang quickly smiled again, ¡°Right, right, right! I am that what¡¯s-his-name. Um¡­ Doctor Ge, isn¡¯t Director Meng around?¡±


    Ge Huai turned to look at Chen Cang, ¡°Hmm, she¡¯s in the operating room. You can wait for her here, or you could go to the OR to find her.¡±


    After thinking it over, Chen Cang decided to wait in the office.


    After all, the operating room wasn¡¯t a place one could just enter at will. If it weren¡¯t for Tan Zhonglin often coming to the Provincial Second Hospital to perform surgeries, he wouldn¡¯t have such nerve.


    And as far as Dongda First Hospital was concerned, Chen Cang was nobody¡­ naturally, they wouldn¡¯t let irrelevant people in.


    With nothing better to do, he picked up a book and started reading. After waiting for less than an hour, around six o¡¯clock, Meng Xi came back.


    Chen Cang quickly stood up, ¡°Hello, Director Meng!¡±


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang, took off her mask, nodded, and after sitting down, she crossed her long legs in a comfortable position.


    Three consecutive surgeries that afternoon had indeed been tiring.


    ¡°Have a seat.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and said thank you.


    By this time, it was almost the end of the workday, and there weren¡¯t many people around.


    Just after sitting down, feeling that it was a bit hot, Meng Xi reached to unbutton her white coat. It was snug and quite stuffy.


    Meng Xi asked, ¡°Did you finish your class?¡±


    Although Chen Cang didn¡¯t attend, according to the schedule, he supposedly had class. Without blushing or skipping a beat, he told the truth, ¡°Yes, after the National Day holiday, I started my official mentorship.¡±


    Meng Xi uttered, ¡°Oh. The head of the graduate department told me about you, saying that¡­ you are already working in the emergency department at the Provincial Second Hospital, right?¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile. As a graduate student, he really was somewhat negligent. Other people followed their teachers to wherever they should go for their residency training; Chen Cang had to work, so he could only opt for this compromise.


    ¡°Yes, but Director Meng, I will try to come here as often as I can.¡±


    Meng Xi seemed contemplative, falling silent for a few minutes before looking at Chen Cang and saying, ¡°I¡¯ll give you two options.¡±


    ¡°The first is you don¡¯t have to come here, just keep working as you are, and having my name associated with you is enough. I won¡¯t interfere with what you do. After all, you¡¯re¡­ in a special situation, already having started working and being older. I have no demands of you, just graduate without causing me any trouble.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback. Realizing suddenly that he could not afford to be so cavalier about his future livelihood, of course, he couldn¡¯t treat it so lightly.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang quickly shook his head, ¡°Teacher Meng, I sincerely want to learn from you. I am very interested in cardiothoracic surgery and I also hope to really learn something by following you. It¡¯s not just about getting a diploma and degree.¡±


    Meng Xi smiled faintly, seemed thoughtful, and nodded, ¡°Then it may be a bit tougher for you.¡±


    After a short pause, he suddenly said, ¡°In that case, come to me after work every day for surgery, and we¡¯ll make special arrangements when necessary.¡±


    Meng Xi said, ¡°There are many surgeries at the First Hospital of Dongda; leaving on time is basically impossible. You should come every day to learn from me, and try to get hands-on as soon as possible.¡±


    After listening, Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Okay, thank you for your trouble, Teacher Meng.¡±


    Chen Cang could sense the meaning in Meng Xi¡¯s words, and he felt somewhat emotional.


    Meng Xi truly embodied the saying: ¡°Though he could have lived off his looks, he insisted on studying medicine.¡±


    At the very least, this saying indicated that Meng Xi was indeed a good person.


    His nightlife was spent entirely in the operating room.


    In fact, when you think about it, it¡¯s quite heartbreaking.


    After work, the work continues¡ªit¡¯s less like finishing work and more like a halftime break.


    When Ge Huai saw Meng Xi returning, he hurriedly approached, ¡°Director Meng, you¡¯re back. Emergency has sent over a patient with acute chest pain.¡±


    Meng Xi got up quickly, ¡°Where is the patient now? Has the ECG been done? What¡¯s the diagnosis from emergency?¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s rapid-fire questions made Chen Cang inadvertently take notice!


    These were things that should have been prepared in advance by the emergency department.


    Ge Huai quickly said, ¡°The ECG has been done, but there¡¯s no typical ST segment elevation. Cardiac biomarkers were also tested, and troponin levels were abnormally high. The patient has typical symptoms of myocardial ischemia. We¡¯re considering the possibility of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.¡±


    Meng Xi said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, take me to see.¡±


    Ge Huai hurried out, and as Meng Xi walked, he buttoned up his coat muttering to himself that the white coat was too small. He would ask the head nurse to get him a larger size tomorrow!


    ¡°Chen Cang, come with me,¡± Meng Xi suddenly remembered Chen Cang and looked back to say it.


    By that time, Chen Cang was already following behind.


    Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but nod his head without saying a word.


    Upon arriving at the ward, they found the patient lying on the bed with an ECG machine neatly placed there.


    Without a word, Meng Xi picked up the recent ECG for another look and then slightly frowned.


    He was puzzled!


    The patient was a young man dressed in typical sales attire, now grimacing and clutching his chest.


    It seemed his colleague was beside him.


    Meng Xi asked the patient, looking down, ¡°How are you feeling unwell?¡±


    The man grimaced in pain, ¡°It feels like my chest is burning, coming and going in waves! Even breathing is a bit difficult.¡±


    ¡°It shoots to the front and back of my chest, and my shoulders are also uncomfortable.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, ¡°How long has it been? What triggered it?¡±


    The man replied, ¡°It started at noon today, after drinking a bit too much with a client at lunch. I went back and slept a bit, and when I woke up, I felt unwell. I hurried to a small clinic downstairs, where they gave me a few nitroglycerin tablets. It eased after I took one, so I didn¡¯t think much of it. But¡­ an hour ago, it started again, taking another didn¡¯t help, and the tightness got even worse. That¡¯s when I took a taxi to the emergency room.¡±


    ¡°Now, it doesn¡¯t feel as severe!¡±


    Directly addressing Chen Cang, ¡°Chen Cang, you can do an ECG, right? Do another one!¡±

 Chapter 290 - Chapter 290: Chapter 291: With lingering fear!

    Chapter 290: Chapter 291: With lingering fear!


    Performing electrocardiograms (ECGs) is a skill that emergency physicians, and indeed all physicians, must possess.


    After three years of emergency medicine training, Chen Cang¡¯s familiarity with the human body¡¯s lead I to lead VI surpassed his familiarity with the QWER keys on a computer keyboard from his college days playing League of Legends!


    Essentially, as soon as you set up the position, you can tell at a glance where to attach the leads, regardless of whether you¡¯re wearing clothes or not.


    One of the most common diseases in the emergency department is myocardial infarction, which attacks suddenly and can always turn critical.


    So after Chen Cang went to the provincial second hospital, he spent half a year performing and reading ECGs.


    At this moment, the ECG machine was sitting nearby, clearly indicating that the patient had just had another ECG done.


    Right then, the three of them were all staring at the ECG machine as it slowly and steadily printed out the report.


    Meanwhile, Meng Xi¡¯s mind was constantly pondering over the ECG she had just seen. She felt she had seen something like it before but couldn¡¯t quite remember, though it seemed vaguely familiar.


    The absence of ST elevation doesn¡¯t necessarily mean the patient doesn¡¯t have non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome!


    An ECG is a screening tool, filtering all diseases through one test, and after the screening, targeted diagnosis and treatment can be administered.


    In fact, sometimes the patient¡¯s condition is like solving an applied math problem, requiring logical thinking to deduce.


    If a patient comes in with chest pain, your mind should immediately go through all possible causes of chest pain.


    Then, through your experience, exams, lab tests, imaging, and so on, you verify or eliminate each possibility.


    This is the medical diagnostic process today.


    Speaking of which, if this is how Western medicine works, how does Traditional Chinese Medicine approach diagnosis and treatment?


    Perhaps everyone thinks Traditional Chinese Medicine is mysterious and enigmatic, but actually, it relies on logical thinking skills, not the so-called nonsense.


    Ancient people didn¡¯t understand much about human anatomy and physiological biochemistry testing was not advanced, so you couldn¡¯t just perform surgery on a patient! After all, in those days, a patient might not be sick, but surgery could lead to infection and death¡­


    This was quite normal.


    Traditional Chinese Medicine studies the relationship between external presentations and internal pathological changes.


    And its diagnostic process involves observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking.


    To observe and know is called divine; this refers to how many famous doctors, with rich experience and broad knowledge, can diagnose just by looking at a patient¡¯s behavior, complexion, body shape, tongue appearance, and so on.


    And after hundreds of years of summarizing case studies through various observations, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking, the Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostic science was established.


    Through observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking, one verifies each sign to arrive at a fitting syndrome, thereby diagnosing and treating to achieve the goal of spotting the subtle to perceive the apparent!


    Sometimes, one can¡¯t help but marvel at the greatness of the ancients.


    ¡­


    The ECG results had just come out, and Chen Cang was about to hand it to Meng Xi, but upon taking it in his hand, he suddenly paused!


    Because this ECG¡­ was a bit different!


    Firstly, there was a 1-3mm depression at the J-point in the precordial V1-6 leads, with the ST segment sloping downwards and the T-waves symmetrically pointed!


    Secondly, the QRS waves were normal, not widened at all.


    Finally, there was a mild elevation of the ST segment in the aVR lead.


    After carefully looking it over again, Chen Cang suddenly considered a possibility!


    Could it be¡­ His face changed as the thought crossed his mind!


    After thinking it over carefully again, it seemed very likely!


    Seconds later, Chen Cang combined the patient¡¯s conditions and age among other factors, and contemplated the patient¡¯s possible condition.


    Turning around, Chen Cang hurriedly passed the ECG in his hand to Meng Xi.


    Meng Xi took it and couldn¡¯t help furrowing her brow; it still looked similar to the one before.


    Could it really be NSTE-ACS (Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome)?


    Chen Cang had thought that, as a female doctorate from abroad, Meng Xi would have some understanding, but seeing her hesitate like this, he grew anxious.


    With that in mind, Chen Cang directly said, ¡°Professor Meng, I think the patient¡¯s ECG closely resembles de Winter syndrome! We must arrange further examinations as soon as possible, to facilitate further treatment!¡±


    Without any hesitation, now was not the time to doubt, because such an ECG pattern belongs to the hyper-acute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction! This is what¡¯s known as: de Winter syndrome.


    After Chen Cang said this, both of them were momentarily stunned!


    Upon hearing this term, Ge Huai also paused for a moment, it seemed somewhat familiar!


    This type of ECG pattern is rarely summarized in China, it was de Winter and other cardiologists from Rotterdam who, through retrospective study of 1532 cases of acute LAD proximal occlusion ECGs, found that 30 patients did not show typical ST-segment elevation. After their research, they identified several special ECG waveforms and later published their findings in the New England Journal of Medicine.


    This is the so-called de Winter syndrome!


    However, since this syndrome is relatively new, there might not be many references in domestic literature, which is why many doctors are not very familiar with it.


    Reminded by Chen Cang, Meng Xi¡¯s expression suddenly changed, de Winter?


    Yes!


    It closely resembles it!


    It¡¯s very likely!


    With this in mind, Meng Xi hurriedly took the ECG report and continued to compare it.


    The more Meng Xi looked, the more alarmed she became, the more anxious she felt.


    Turning to look at Ge Huai, she quickly said, ¡°Dr. Ge, hurry up and put through the orders, complete the relevant tests, get ready to sign off¡­ as quickly as possible¡­¡±


    If it was confirmed, then timely coronary intervention to open the occluded vessels and save the viable myocardium was imperative!


    Currently, the indications for thrombolytic therapy in myocardial infarction are mainly based on ST-segment elevation magnitude and whether there is a new complete left bundle branch block. Although de Winter syndrome is a complete or sub-complete occlusion near the proximal LAD, the ECG does not meet the criteria for thrombolytic therapy.


    Theoretically, thrombolytic therapy might be effective, but at this stage, it remains ¡°off-label¡± use. A look through the STEMI guidelines of recent years, both domestically and internationally, also does not mention this category of patients.


    What does that mean? Any disease, when receiving treatment, needs to follow the treatment indications.


    And this de Winter syndrome is not within the indications for thrombolytic therapy, so if something goes wrong, it is the doctor¡¯s responsibility.


    But medicine is continuously evolving, who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong?


    As a doctor, one must exercise the surgical scalpel in hand with precision!


    Upon hearing this, Ge Huai promptly got up to start making an array of arrangements!


    Time ticked away, and Chen Cang busied himself alongside Meng Xi and Ge Huai!


    When the coronary angiography imaging results came in, the three of them turned solemn!


    Indeed, it was so!


    It truly was de Winter syndrome!


    Now that a diagnosis was made, urgent arrangement of the intervention surgery was needed.


    Meng Xi led her team in a flurry, hastily commencing the treatment of the patient without delaying by even a minute. By eleven o¡¯clock, the patient¡¯s surgery was finally complete.


    The surgery went smoothly!


    A precious life was thereby saved through a perfect rescue.


    The three couldn¡¯t help but be overwhelmed with emotion!


    At that moment, Chen Cang heard in his ear:


    [Ding! Meng Xi favorability +15!]

 Chapter 294 - Chapter 294: Chapter 295: I am your Teacher Chen

    Chapter 294: Chapter 295: I am your Teacher Chen


    Monday morning at nine o¡¯clock, after handing over his shift, Chen Cang set out towards the residency training center.


    Today¡¯s training was on thoracic cavity puncture.


    Scheduled to start at nine-thirty, Chen Cang, with his USB drive in hand, went upstairs early to start preparing.


    At this time, no one else had arrived, and Chen Cang went over to plug the USB into the computer. He saw Fu Zhihui come in and place a sign-in sheet on the table.


    Turning to Chen Cang, she said, ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯re here so early? Is the emergency department not busy?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°When Teacher Fu gives an assignment, naturally, I have to do it well!¡±


    Fu Zhihui smiled back and then turned and left.


    In fact, this kind of teaching wasn¡¯t voluntary labor, it came with a little money.


    To the former Chen Cang, one hundred or two hundred was true love; naturally, he couldn¡¯t miss out on a single penny.


    Gradually, classmates began to walk in, and they were surprised to see Chen Cang!


    After all, everyone was in the same class and often saw each other at class meetings, although Chen Cang rarely attended.


    But¡­ a handsome person always leaves a good impression!


    Seeing Chen Cang, several of the residency girls curiously said:


    ¡°Chen Cang, you¡¯re so proactive?¡± Hou Tian said with a smile.


    Chen Cang was startled, then gave a slight smile, ¡°Well¡­ I can¡¯t be absent.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the girls burst into laughter, ¡°You have the cheek to say that!¡±


    ¡°Exactly, like you¡¯re one to talk about absenteeism!¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°It¡¯s different, anyway, that¡¯s the sign-in sheet, go sign in first.¡±


    At that moment, Qian Lin and a boy walked in. Seeing Chen Cang, they too laughed, ¡°Eh? My God, you actually came! I was wondering whether to call you or not.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and took the sign-in sheet. After checking, he saw that everyone, all twelve people, had arrived, ready to begin.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang looked at everyone and nodded slightly, ¡°Okay, close the door, let¡¯s begin.¡±


    Qian Lin was startled, ¡°The teacher hasn¡¯t come yet, how can we start?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, opened the PowerPoint on the computer, and the screen showed: ¡°Thoracic Cavity Puncture, Speaker: Chen Cang.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the astonished students and said with a smile in his eyes, ¡°Today, I am your Teacher Chen. I will introduce you to the basics and precautions of thoracic cavity puncture. Let¡¯s get ready to start.¡±


    At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded.


    ¡°No way!¡±


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    ¡­


    A group of people stared at each other, their eyes as wide as saucers!


    Their faces filled with incredulity as they looked at Chen Cang in astonishment.


    Qian Lin was especially in disbelief, ¡°Chen¡­ Chen¡­¡±


    Chen Cang smiled gently, ¡°From now on, call me Teacher Chen!¡±


    The crowd immediately burst into laughter.


    However, Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Alright, everyone quiet down. Let¡¯s start today¡¯s lesson on thoracic cavity puncture.¡±


    ¡°So first, we should understand, what is the purpose of a thoracocentesis?¡±


    ¡°One is for diagnosis, and the other is for treatment!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s start by talking about thoracic puncture from these two aspects¡­¡±


    Chen Cang explained in great detail, and since they were peers, everyone was more active and open, resulting in numerous questions.


    Moreover, Chen Cang¡¯s explanations were clear and easy to understand, woven with his own insights, and he covered a lot of material not found in textbooks.


    Thoracic puncture is a common clinical procedure because it is not particularly difficult to perform, so the doctors in the department are quite confident in it.


    Frankly speaking, what surgery values is courage.


    Getting started is the hardest part; once you begin, it becomes much easier.


    As for the operative steps¡ªthings like disinfection, laying out the sterile drapes¡­


    All punctures are fundamentally similar; the important aspects are safety precautions and aseptic principles.


    After the explanation, Chen Cang watched everyone perform the procedure, offered suggestions, and then discussed some of the latest international and national guidelines on thoracic puncture and things to be mindful of.


    The scope of the knowledge covered was quite broad, ranging from basic to important points, all the way up to the latest information.


    Chen Cang explained them all carefully.


    He also talked about some special cases and techniques, among other things.


    Really, you don¡¯t need to remember and master everything at once, but you do need to have an impression of it.


    When it came to the questions from the crowd, Chen Cang was more than happy to share all he knew without reservation!


    What was most noteworthy was that no matter how tricky the question, Chen Cang always managed to provide a reasonable explanation.


    That was truly frightening upon reflection!


    Chen Cang was their classmate, after all.


    And yet he was so impressive!


    With this in mind, it naturally followed that people began calling him ¡°Teacher Chen!¡± ¡°Teacher Cang!¡±


    The class passed quickly, and everyone felt they had gained a lot, finding the experience incredibly enriching. It was the first time they discovered that a lesson could be so lively and interesting!


    After the crowd left, Chen Cang suddenly received a system notification.


    [Ding! Congratulations on diligently imparting knowledge and solving doubts with medical ethics and benevolence. You have passed the test and gained: Skill Point +1.]


    It was a small reward, but it made Chen Cang very happy.


    At least it showed that his efforts hadn¡¯t been wasted.


    Chen Cang contemplated that to receive rewards from this task of medical ethic and benevolence, one probably needed to earn the genuine gratitude of others.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    This year marked the first time that Province No.2 Hospital recruited residency trainees from the public and other institutions.


    With a large number of residency trainees, including both Chen Cang¡¯s peers and many from the community, the training center had to organize a training program that was both efficient and orderly for the newcomers, while also not disrupting the work of all the doctors. As a result, it was impractical for a single doctor to conduct the training. Instead, a rotation was needed to accommodate everyone¡¯s schedules, thus allowing doctors to continue with their regular work unhindered.


    Shi Qi, the former head of thoracic surgery, had to be invited to the training center regardless of his circumstances. Even if he didn¡¯t have the time, an invitation was a must.


    What surprised Fu Zhihui was that Shi Qi actually accepted!


    Was the deputy head of breast surgery not busy enough?


    Generally, the training center preferred not to use doctors with administrative roles because they tended to be troublesome, had many issues, and liked to nitpick. Our Director Shi was particularly known for this throughout the entire hospital.


    But since Shi Qi was willing to participate, the center wouldn¡¯t turn him away. After all, having two or three years of experience in thoracic surgery was more than sufficient for understanding thoracic puncture.


    The training center thought it over and decided to let Shi Qi and Chen Cang alternate the training, with each taking a day. This rotation would be more convenient for everyone.


    On Tuesday, while Chen Cang was at work, Shi Qi was responsible for training thoracic puncture.


    Shi Qi was in a good mood that day; he even took the time to put on a clean lab coat and slicked his hair back with some gel. He appeared much more spirited and arrived early at the training center¡¯s puncture suite with his USB drive ready, preparing everything for the start of the training.

 Chapter 295 - Chapter 295: Chapter 296: This is what Teacher Chen talked about!

    Chapter 295: Chapter 296: This is what Teacher Chen talked about!


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you, Chen Cang is an amazing lecturer. I¡¯ve heard others talk about thoracic puncture before, but compared to Chen Cang, they¡¯re far behind!¡±


    ¡°The key thing is, he¡¯s also really handsome!¡±


    ¡°Really? Is it that exaggerated?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s even more than that. Yesterday, a group of us, maybe fifteen or twenty, asked him questions and he knew everything! I feel like, when it comes to thoracic puncture, Chen Cang is unrivaled!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard Chen Cang is still single!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s on the staff at Xiehe Hospital, currently sent out to pursue graduate studies. Handsome, works at a good unit, and is a nice guy¡ªgo for it!¡±


    ¡­


    A few trainee girls chatted merrily; they weren¡¯t even supposed to attend today¡¯s training but came back just to listen again, just like in college when everyone would flock to a class taught by a good-looking and popular teacher!


    In fact, among those attending the residency training, many were already graduate students, but they hadn¡¯t obtained their training certification at the time of their graduation.


    Now, to be a doctor, one must have the training certification¡ªjust as important as the medical practicing license. Without it, you can¡¯t advance to a mid-level professional title.


    To put it plainly, without the training certification, you can¡¯t be promoted to attending physician.


    So, many people are participating in the training.


    However, the gender ratio of medical students becomes apparent at this point.


    Out of ten people, there are seven girls and three guys.


    So, it¡¯s relatively easier for guys to find a partner in medical school.


    ¡­


    As a group of people pushed their way into the thoracic puncture room, they suddenly noticed a man already standing inside.


    This man¡­ his oily hair attempted to hide the reality of his balding scalp, and his new white coat struggled to contain his protruding belly, giving off a greasy appearance¡­


    Immediately, those ready to sign in hesitated!


    This person couldn¡¯t possibly be Chen Cang, could he?


    ¡°This is Chen Cang? So¡­ abstract?¡±


    Even those who had come the day before were taken aback: ¡°No way! Chen Cang is my classmate; I¡¯d recognize him. Who is this guy?¡±


    A few of them signed their names reluctantly, each one curiously eyeing Shi Qi.


    They were already here; it¡¯s not like they could just leave, could they?


    Seeing almost everyone had arrived, Shi Qi opened his PowerPoint with a Wu Yanzu-like smile, ¡°Well, welcome everyone to Xiehe Hospital. I¡¯m Shi Qi. Today, I¡¯m going to talk about the procedure and considerations of thoracic puncture.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps you¡¯re not very familiar with me, but you¡¯ll get to know me over time. I used to be the head of the thoracic surgery department in our hospital, and after continuous reforms, I was moved to the breast surgery department. When it comes to explaining thoracic puncture, I believe I¡¯m probably the most suitable person in Xiehe Hospital, right?¡±


    At this point, Shi Qi chuckled at his own perceived humor.


    ¡°Thoracic puncture is utilized a lot in clinical settings, and it¡¯s very important for medical workers. Everyone here is the future of medicine, so mastering such a skill is quite necessary.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m normally quite busy, but when I received the invitation from the residency training center, I thought this was more important, so here I am, let¡¯s get started¡­¡±


    The materials Shi Qi was using were left behind by Li Shijian, who often trained with Chen Cang in thoracic surgery, so he had all the materials prepared.


    Shi Qi now planned to become a director at the residency training center since he couldn¡¯t move up in the breast surgery department ¡ª the old director wouldn¡¯t retire, and besides¡­ he didn¡¯t really want to practice clinically anymore.


    He had already served three years as the director of thoracic surgery; three years like a salted fish ¡ª who would choose such a hard life over that?


    Being a director at the residency training center, in charge of hundreds of students, seemed much more comfortable and relaxed.


    Shi Qi¡¯s lecture was¡­ by the book, just like a grading rubric, very standard, very official.


    ¡°`


    Everyone seemed to be listening quite well.


    However, those who had listened to Chen Cang¡¯s lecture yesterday suddenly felt somewhat unsatisfied.


    Without comparison, there¡¯s no awareness of the disparity. Sometimes, the level of a clinician can be seen through their explanations¡ªsome are insightful, while others are just dry and bland.


    But thinking that the person was the former head of thoracic surgery, everyone still felt he must be quite skilled, perhaps just not good at explaining.


    So they listened patiently and, after the lecture, Shi Qi looked at the audience and asked, ¡°Any questions?¡±


    At that time, someone asked, ¡°Teacher Shi, the 2010 British Thoracic Society guidelines for pleural diseases state: ¡®For malignant pleural effusions, the volume of fluid to be removed during therapeutic thoracentesis should be based on the patient¡¯s symptoms at the time, and a single session should not exceed 1500ml. However, you just mentioned that the initial removal should not exceed 700ml, and subsequently should not exceed 1000ml. Xiehe Respiratory Medicine believes the initial extraction should not exceed 600ml, and subsequently no more than 1000ml. Domestically, we¡¯re more conservative on the initial volume; why is that?¡±


    As soon as this question was out!


    Most people in the room were stunned!


    This question was impressive!


    It was evident that the person was an expert!


    Because editions five, six, seven, and eight of internal medicine texts all state that the initial extraction should not exceed 700ml, and subsequently no more than 1000ml, but it seems that no one has really asked why!


    Shi Qi was taken aback; it was a good question. He pointed to a girl in the front and asked, ¡°What do you think about this question?¡±


    The girl hesitated, ¡°I used¡­ the eighth edition of ¡®Internal Medicine¡¯ to study¡­¡±


    As soon as she said this, everyone around was taken aback and then burst into laughter.


    Shi Qi also smiled and said, ¡°Because extracting too much fluid too quickly can cause re-expansion pulmonary edema, so relatively speaking, we are more conservative than abroad.¡±


    The girl was stunned, ¡°Then aren¡¯t they afraid of exceeding 1500ml for the first time abroad? Is the difference between our country and others just because we¡¯re more conservative in our thinking?¡±


    Shi Qi paused for a moment, ¡°Every guideline is based on an understanding gained through a large number of case experiences and evidence-based medical research; I think we should respect the guidelines.¡±


    At this time, a girl suddenly raised her hand and said, ¡°Teacher Shi, actually, these values have a basis, and they are not fixed values.¡±


    ¡°Physiology tells us that the average total lung volume for an adult male is 5000ml, which includes a vital capacity of 3500ml + a residual volume of 1500ml. From this we can infer that the thoracic volume should also be about 5000ml, so one side of the thoracic cavity is approximately 2500ml.


    For a patient with a large amount of pleural effusion, extracting 1000ml at once from one side, which is 2/5 of the volume, is quite significant. If 1500ml is removed at once (from one side), it would be 3/5 of the volume of the thoracic cavity, and this is basically a line that cannot be crossed.¡±


    ¡°Evidence-based medicine statistics show that Europeans and Americans are taller and bigger, which is an undeniable fact. Correspondingly, their thoracic volumes are also larger than ours, so it¡¯s understandable that their upper limits for fluid extraction are higher.¡±


    ¡°And the true meaning of the guidelines is not to emphasize this numerical value; it is merely a threshold. In clinical practice, in fact, the ¡®700ml, 1000ml¡¯ cannot be immutable because each patient¡¯s age, body type, and condition are different. We can¡¯t rigidly adhere to these two numbers; more important is to constantly observe the patient¡¯s condition. The same is true abroad; guidelines provide a broad range. Every physician should continuously observe the patient and adjust the volume accordingly.¡±


    The girl¡¯s voice was not loud, but it quieted the room.


    Her words were crystal clear, plainly explaining the significance of the thoracentesis fluid extraction values, and suddenly everyone understood, feeling a sense of sudden realization.


    So that¡¯s why!


    Even Shi Qi felt enlightened, appreciating the excellent explanation. So that was it.


    Unable to hold back, Shi Qi praised, ¡°This student, well said! You have a solid understanding.¡±


    That girl actually didn¡¯t intend to say it, but she slipped it out without restraint, naturally not expecting such a big reaction. Seeing everyone looking at her with awe, she blushed a bit.


    ¡°Actually¡­ it wasn¡¯t me who said it, it was Professor Chen who taught it,¡± the girl said shyly and then pointed to her classmates beside her, ¡°Ask them, they know too!¡±


    Several classmates nodded in agreement, ¡°That¡¯s right, Professor Chen has taught us that.¡±


    Everyone was suddenly taken aback!


    Who was this Professor Chen?


    That Professor Chen?


    Even Shi Qi was clueless, wondering who Professor Chen was. It sounded familiar.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 296 - Chapter 296: Chapter 297: Gynecological Emergency Consultation

    Chapter 296: Chapter 297: Gynecological Emergency Consultation


    After the girl spoke, those around her turned to look.


    Chen, the teacher?


    Which teacher Chen?


    Even Shi Qi was quite curious, ¡°Teacher Chen? Which expert are you referring to?¡±


    The girl shook her head awkwardly, ¡°Teacher Shi, no, Teacher Chen is the one who lectured us on thoracocentesis yesterday, Chen Cang.¡±


    Shi Qi was taken aback!


    Chen Cang?


    Such a familiar name¡­


    Suddenly, Shi Qi remembered Chen Cang, who had competed with Li Shijian for a position in the past.


    That emergency department doctor?


    With this thought, Shi Qi couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s right, Doctor Chen made a lot of sense, that¡¯s a kind of clinical thinking ability, everyone should read more literature and think more in the future.¡±


    ¡°Of course, thoracentesis is a procedure, you can¡¯t just rely on book knowledge, you also need to strengthen clinical training, everyone should practice it well next.¡±


    To Shi Qi, Chen Cang was nothing special; theory was theory, and practice was practice.


    Clinical work isn¡¯t just talk on paper, and no matter what, Shi Qi was not someone that a small emergency department doctor like Chen Cang could compare with.


    So honestly, Shi Qi didn¡¯t really take Chen Cang seriously.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Everyone began to practice.


    Around eleven o¡¯clock, Shi Qi¡¯s phone rang.


    ¡°Hello? Director Shi? This is Zhang Yan from the gynecology department.¡± A woman¡¯s voice sounded on the other end of the call.


    Shi Qi paused for a moment; gynecology and breast surgery had a decent relationship since they often consulted each other, especially when a patient didn¡¯t lactate after giving birth or had mastitis¡­


    Therefore, Shi Qi smiled and said, ¡°Oh! Doctor Zhang? What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Zhang Yan sounded anxious, ¡°It¡¯s like this, Director Shi, our department just admitted a new patient.¡±


    ¡°The patient is a 28-year-old female, eight months pregnant, suddenly showing reduced fetal movement in the late stages of pregnancy. After a consultation with Director Zhang and several experts, it appears that the fetus has developed the rare condition of ¡®spontaneous chylothorax.¡¯ An ultrasound measured approximately 250 milliliters of viscous pleural effusion in the fetus¡¯s thoracic cavity, and now a puncture is needed under ultrasound guidance, it¡¯s quite dangerous, we need you to come down for a consultation and have a look!¡±


    Shi Qi was startled, spontaneous chylothorax?


    ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll come down and have a look.¡±


    Honestly, Shi Qi really didn¡¯t want to go because what did he know about spontaneous chylothorax?


    But he couldn¡¯t refuse, they expressly requested his presence.


    Director Zhang¡¯s reputation in the hospital was undoubtedly very prestigious; better go and see.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At that time, in the gynecology ward, with the ultrasound machine right beside the bed, all three gynecology department heads were gathered together, watching the ultrasound images with serious expressions.


    Zhang Yan hurried in, ¡°Director, I¡¯ve called Director Shi Qi.¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng was taken aback, ¡°Shi Qi¡­ Is he capable? Otherwise, you might want to phone the thoracic surgery experts at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital or Dongda Medical University for a consultation.¡±


    The other two directors said, ¡°Let¡¯s have him come down first and see, the situation isn¡¯t urgent right now, we will contact them if we can¡¯t handle it.¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng nodded but still said, ¡°Little Zhang, still make a call to the thoracic surgery department of Dongda First Hospital, it¡¯s closer, arrange for an expert to come over for a consultation as soon as possible.¡±


    Zhang Yan nodded hastily.


    At this moment, the patient Yang Siqi looked terrified, almost on the verge of breaking down, her voice choked up, barely audible, ¡°Doctor¡­ Doctor, you must save the baby! It wasn¡¯t easy for me to get pregnant!¡±


    Yang Siqi¡¯s husband, Wei Junming, was sighing and pacing back and forth in the ward, clearly agitated and anxious.


    The two of them had gone through a great deal of trouble for this child!


    After four years of marriage without being able to conceive, they had tried all kinds of methods and tricks but ultimately could not get pregnant.


    Finally, with the help of the gynecology department of the Province Second Hospital and after several attempts, they succeeded in conceiving through artificial means.


    After the pregnancy, the family was overjoyed, as any family would be when the wife finally became pregnant.


    It can be said that this little baby was hard-won, so the couple cherished this soon-to-be born life all the more.


    However, as the due date approached, Yang Siqi recently began to feel a marked decrease in fetal movement.


    This frightened Yang Siqi terribly, prompting her to rush to the local hospital for an ultrasound checkup.


    The result showed that the fetus had a significant accumulation of fluid in the right side of the thoracic cavity.


    The local doctors had never seen such a condition and suspected it might be a congenital malformation, so they suggested that Mrs. Chen either immediately terminate the pregnancy and induce labor, or go to a large hospital in An Yang City for treatment!


    Such bad news was a serious blow to this family!


    After finally expecting a child, just when the birth was imminent, they encountered such a situation!


    Yang Siqi almost couldn¡¯t bear it!


    She hastily called her husband back from a business trip outside the area, and drove directly from the county to the provincial second hospital.


    Such bad news caught the young couple, Yang Siqi and Wei Junming, unprepared, and the husband and wife, who were eager to have children, were unwilling to give up just like that.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The gynecology department of the provincial second hospital was very good, famous throughout Dong Yang province, and the head of the gynecology department, Zhang Jinfeng, was affectionately referred to as ¡°the Guanyin who brings children¡±.


    Zhang Jinfeng was a leading figure in the gynecology department of the provincial second hospital, having focused on gynecology and obstetrics early on, creating a nationally recognized department as early as 2006. Moving into the 21st century, he keenly noticed an increasing number of infertile patients!


    He directly allocated half a floor in the department to establish a reproductive center, a wise move that solved infertility problems for countless families.


    To date, the number of banners hanging in the head¡¯s office, doctors¡¯ offices, and even the wards was countless!


    The prestigious name of ¡°the Guanyin who brings children¡±, Zhang Jinfeng, quickly spread.


    When Yang Siqi and her husband Wei Junming arrived at the hospital, Zhang Yan, who received them, immediately conducted another ultrasound for Yang Siqi. The result was still concerning: there was a large accumulation of fluid in the fetal right chest cavity, and the fetal heartbeat was getting weaker and weaker.


    Zhang Yan had also never seen such a condition and couldn¡¯t make up her mind, so she directly admitted Yang Siqi to the hospital to let the director make the final decision.


    After being admitted to the ward, several gynecological experts quickly organized an emergency consultation and discussed the situation.


    Zhang Jinfeng had an idea!


    This was a rare disease!


    Spontaneous chylothorax, which was very seldom seen.


    Yang Siqi¡¯s voice was choked up, and with a crying tone she said, ¡°Director Zhang¡­ how could such a thing happen? Is there¡­ is there any hope for the child?¡±


    ¡°We really, really want to have children! I beg you, Director Zhang!¡±


    While speaking, Yang Siqi was about to kneel on the hospital bed to bow her head!


    Zhang Jinfeng stood there with great poise, and his words were especially calm and reassuring, instantly stabilizing people¡¯s hearts!


    This was truly a commanding presence in a stout elderly lady!


    There was a kind of domineering aura between her brows!


    ¡°This, Xiao Yang, don¡¯t worry about it. Let me tell you about the situation! The fetus is likely suffering from a rare ¡®spontaneous chylothorax,¡¯ rather than a congenital deformation. So, you can rest assured.¡±


    Congenital deformation would be more troublesome, whereas if it were a disease, there was still a chance for cure.


    After all¡­ for a child with congenital deformity, even after they are born, it would be a form of irresponsibility to the child and a heavy blow to the family.


    Therefore, it¡¯s always difficult for gynecologists when encountering children with congenital deformities!


    Whether motivated by humanitarian spirit or humanistic care, it is difficult to make a decision.


    Zhang Jinfeng continued, ¡°What does ¡®spontaneous chylothorax¡¯ mean? Let me explain.¡±


    ¡°Now, about 250 milliliters of viscous pleural effusion has accumulated in the fetal thoracic cavity. This effusion is producing strong pressure that has compressed the fetal lung tissue to a very small size, preventing the alveoli from developing and pushing the heart to one side. That is what has caused this situation, meaning because of this pleural effusion, the child is facing such a danger!¡±


    Just then, the ultrasound doctor suddenly discovered, ¡°Director, this is not good, the fetal¡­ heartbeat is becoming increasingly unclear. I am afraid that it won¡¯t be long before heart failure occurs; we must deal with it promptly!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s face changed color!


    Facing such high-risk conditions, if the pleural effusion is not quickly drained, the accumulation will increase, and the fetus might suffer in utero heart failure and die.


    If allowed to deliver naturally, the child could likely die during birth because the heart couldn¡¯t withstand the contractions of labor.


    And even if the birth goes smoothly, the newborn¡¯s lungs will not be able to expand, leading to oxygen deficiency and death right after birth.


    In short, the situation was extremely critical!


    ps: It has been over two months since my book was published, and one month since it was put on the shelf. I¡¯ve updated 550,000 words, averaging 20,000 words a day. After posting chapters every day, I love to lie in bed and read everyone¡¯s comments. Honestly, this makes me happy.


    But¡­ lately, because of frequent late nights, especially last night when I wrote until 3 a.m., I woke up this morning feeling very panicked and my back was somewhat uncomfortable. I rushed to the hospital for an electrocardiogram, thankfully there wasn¡¯t any problem, perhaps just a brief myocardial ischemia. After taking some medicine and resting for a day¡­


    So¡­ tonight I wrote until 11:45 p.m., just finished three chapters, and I really can¡¯t afford to stay up late anymore. I¡¯ll write more during the day tomorrow. Finally, I want to thank everyone for their support.


    The old hand is really scared¡­


    I will not stay up late in the future!


    Absolutely no staying up late!


    No sleeping past midnight!


    ps: Finally, I want to thank the Alliance Hierarch: The Silent Do-Gooder, and protectors: Fire Dance, Lianxin, as well as Hall Master Er Yi Ju Shi V for their 10,000 rewards. I will add more chapters after getting up tomorrow morning, thank you all.

 Chapter 297 - Chapter 297: Chapter 298: Its Chen Cang Again!

    Chapter 297: Chapter 298: It¡¯s Chen Cang Again!


    Yang Siqi went blank after hearing the words of the ultrasound doctor!


    It was like a bolt of lightning had shattered the persistence in her heart.


    Her face was expressionless, yet tears streamed down incessantly.


    Despair!


    Helplessness!


    All I want is a child, why is it so hard? God, I¡¯m begging You¡­


    Yang Siqi¡¯s heart prayed ceaselessly, she seemed to see a candle flickering in the wind, just like her child, she wanted to protect it, but found she couldn¡¯t touch it at all¡­


    Fear!


    Agony!


    Resignation!


    A multitude of helpless and sorrowful emotions enveloped her, wanting to shield him yet feeling utterly powerless.


    Seeing this, Wei Junming hurried over and gently held his wife in his arms.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright! It¡¯s going to be alright! Wife¡­ don¡¯t be scared!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really going to be okay, we¡¯ve tried so hard for so long, God will surely help us.¡±


    ¡°Please don¡¯t cry, I beg you, wife¡­¡±


    Wei Junming kept comforting his wife, but as he spoke, he started to choke up himself.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chylothorax used to be considered a difficult and complicated disease before the 21st century.


    In the past, due to underdeveloped medical levels, if fetal thoracic effusion was found during prenatal screening, doctors would often consider the low survival rate of the fetus or suspect congenital abnormalities and thus suggest induced termination of the pregnancy.


    However, in recent years, with the development of medical technology, the possibility of curing chylothorax in infants has greatly increased, and there will be no future sequelae.


    Therefore, the local county hospital¡¯s advice was very sensible!


    Either induce termination, or transfer to another hospital.


    Zhang Jinfeng looked at the couple Yang Siqi and her husband, his voice softened, ¡°Yang, try to stabilize your emotions, we will organize treatment as quickly as possible. Such emotions can easily aggravate the condition of the fetus.¡±


    His words stunned Yang Siqi, and she nodded incessantly, ¡°Okay, Director, I¡¯ll listen to you, I¡¯ll do everything you say, it was you who helped me get pregnant, I believe you must have a way¡­¡±


    At this moment, what else could the couple do but pray? They could only pin all their hopes on Director Zhang Jinfeng.


    But¡­


    They had no idea how to solve it!


    After all¡­ the child was still in the womb, it couldn¡¯t be taken out, treated, and then put back in, could it?


    That¡¯s impossible!


    At that moment, Shi Qi rushed in. Seeing all three gynecological directors present, he was momentarily taken aback, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: Something bad has happened, it must be serious!


    People are like that, the more skilled, the more courageous. Without the assurance of ability, there is no confidence.


    Zhang Jinfeng, seeing Shi Qi come in, was quite courteous.


    ¡°Director Shi, you¡¯ve arrived, hurry and help us take a look,¡± Zhang Jinfeng called Shi Qi over.


    With trepidation, Shi Qi approached, and the ultrasound doctor said, ¡°Director Shi, this is the situation at hand, the ultrasound measurement shows about 250 milliliters of chylous effusion amassed in the fetus¡¯s thoracic cavity. The intense pressure has compacted the lung tissue to a very small size, preventing alveolar development, and has displaced the heart to one side.


    If we do not drain the thoracic fluid promptly, the effusion will continue to increase, and the fetus may suffer cardiac failure and die in utero.


    And now the fetus¡¯s heartbeat is already getting weaker!¡±


    As Zhang Jinfeng watched the ultrasound screen, he said, ¡°The best method right now is to immediately drain the chest fluid, to release the compressed lung area, let the alveoli expand and develop, and let the heart return to its normal position.¡±


    ¡°So, Director Shi, we now need to perform a thoracic puncture on the fetus, can you do it?¡±


    Shi Qi was flabbergasted!


    This has got to be a joke, right?


    Performing a thoracentesis on a child through the mother¡¯s belly? Are you sure you¡¯re not messing with me?


    Indeed, extracting pleural fluid is a relatively common investigative and therapeutic procedure for adults or infants after birth.


    But Shi Qi had never heard of performing a thoracentesis on an unborn child through the mother¡¯s abdomen.


    This is simply unrealistic!


    You have to understand, a fetus inside its mother¡¯s uterus is not stationary but moves around ¡ª it doesn¡¯t simply lie there ¡®obediently submitting to the slaughter¡¯ ¡ª and furthermore, this movement is erratic. One can¡¯t see the heart through the belly, let alone through another person¡­


    Therefore, the thought of performing a thoracentesis on a fetus inside the womb is an utterly horrifying and unimaginable feat.


    The difficulty is extremely high!


    Even higher than any other thoracentesis.


    This type of fetal thoracentesis under ultrasound guidance, to extract fluid, had never been done before in Dongyang Province.


    Even on a national scale, such an ¡®over-the-hill hit-the-bull¡¯ method is rare.


    It really took someone like Zhang Jinfeng, an ordinary person wouldn¡¯t dare to dream up such an exaggerated treatment method.


    But now it was the most appropriate, the most in line with the current situation.


    Not only Shi Qi, but the other two department heads nearby also showed surprise and anxiety, looking at Zhang Jinfeng as if they couldn¡¯t believe their eyes.


    This action¡­ it seems a bit irrational.


    Because if the puncture is inaccurate, it could potentially harm the fetus¡¯s tiny heart and lungs, or even¡­ lead directly to the death of the fetus.


    How could Zhang Jinfeng come up with such a high-risk treatment method?


    If something goes wrong, the gynecology department will have another medical dispute on their hands.


    Shi Qi was made somewhat dumbfounded by Zhang Jinfeng¡¯s near-crazy treatment plan. How could this madwoman come up with such a terrifying idea?


    Shi Qi looked at Zhang Jinfeng, ¡°Director¡­ this¡­ this is simply unrealistic. The fetus inside the mother isn¡¯t always still, plus¡­ the distance is also a big issue. Any movement from the child could harm its vital organs. A slight misstep and we can¡¯t guarantee the child¡¯s safety, so this treatment plan is practically unfeasible!¡±


    ¡°Once a special part of the child is injured, it¡¯s impossible to treat it in the uterus. It could likely lead to the child¡¯s death, so this plan¡­ is too risky!¡±


    ¡°This method is completely impossible!¡± Shi Qi firmly denied, after all, in his many years of practice, he had never heard of such a treatment plan.


    No sooner had Shi Qi finished speaking that Cheng Xin, who had applied to study under Zhang Jinfeng that year, suddenly said, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not always that the patient keeps moving. There are certain times when they remain relatively still, and with accurate guidance under ultrasonography, a thoracentesis isn¡¯t impossible.¡±


    At that moment, everyone turned to look at Cheng Xin, the graduate student who had just arrived at the hospital a few days ago.


    In fact, Cheng Xin knew she shouldn¡¯t have been the one to speak up, as the experience, skill level, and expertise of everyone present far exceeded hers.


    But what was the situation now?


    The fetus¡¯s life was hanging by a thread, it wasn¡¯t the time for indecisiveness.


    As a green, young doctor, Cheng Xin also had her principles and responsibilities!


    Zhang Jinfeng turned and glanced at Cheng Xin, ¡°Xiao Cheng, have you seen it done?¡±


    Actually, this was also the first time for Zhang Jinfeng to do such a thing. After all, such a treatment plan was really risky, and ordinary people wouldn¡¯t even think about it, but Zhang Jinfeng had come up with it.


    Cheng Xin, nervous, spoke the truth, ¡°This was taught by Teacher Chen in the thoracentesis class yesterday, oh, that¡¯s Dr. Chen Cang from the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital!¡±


    With this statement, the room fell into a strange silence.


    Zhang Jinfeng then remembered the name Chen Cang; last month in the gynecological delivery room, it was Chen Cang who helped with the thoracic surgery. Zhang Jinfeng had been rather impressed with the young man at the time.


    Hearing what Cheng Xin said, Zhang Jinfeng pondered that since Chen Cang could talk about these things, they must not be far-fetched, but plausible to execute.


    Thinking this, Zhang Jinfeng said to Cheng Xin, ¡°Call Chen Cang, never mind, I¡¯ll call him myself!¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng didn¡¯t even finish speaking when he suddenly remembered he had Chen Cang¡¯s number from when he said he would introduce his niece to him and hadn¡¯t gotten around to it, so Zhang Jinfeng took out his phone and dialed it directly.


    Meanwhile, Shi Qi was even more dumbfounded; how was it Chen Cang again?


    ps: More to follow, you might have to wait 10 minutes, I¡¯m checking for typos¡­

 Chapter 298 - Chapter 298: Chapter 299: Thank you, Doctor Jing!

    Chapter 298: Chapter 299: Thank you, Doctor Jing!


    Indeed! Shi Qi was feeling quite uncomfortable.


    After all, he had just been stumped by a student¡¯s question during the lecture!


    If it weren¡¯t for other students stepping in to save the situation, how embarrassing that would have been.


    Luckily, he, Shi Qi, considered himself to have a thick skin and managed to smoothly defuse the awkwardness.


    Unexpectedly, at the consultation he heard that name again.


    Wasn¡¯t Chen Cang just a junior doctor in emergency medicine?


    He had just been promoted recently, hadn¡¯t he?


    Why was his name popping up everywhere!


    Thinking this, Shi Qi¡¯s face darkened.


    Fearing not recognizing true worth is nothing compared to the fear of comparing goods, this pit Shi Qi against Chen Cang for comparison.


    The first round had already been a complete KO, and without any preparation on his part, here came the second round of PK.


    ¡­


    Zhang Jinfeng¡¯s call connected quickly.


    Seeing the call from Zhang Jinfeng, Chen Cang hurriedly asked, ¡°Director Zhang, hello.¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng didn¡¯t have time for pleasantries, ¡°Chen! Come to our gynecology department immediately, 8th floor, bed 12-20, we have a patient, the fetus has spontaneous chylothorax, now there is pleural effusion, and we need to perform an immediate thoracentesis, come up and have a look.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang nodded hastily and agreed, ¡°Alright, Director, please wait, I¡¯ll be right up!¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang got up and ran towards the gynecology ward.


    Meanwhile, on the other side.


    In the gynecology ward, Zhang Yan said, ¡°Director, the deputy director of thoracic surgery from Dongda First Hospital will be here soon¡­ shall we wait?¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng was focused on the image on the ultrasound machine and the various signals being transmitted, remaining silent.


    Less than three minutes later, Chen Cang ran in: ¡°Director.¡±


    Seeing Chen Cang arrive, Zhang Jinfeng said directly, ¡°Chen, take a look at the fetal condition yourself and see if you¡¯re confident!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, walked over to the ultrasound machine to take a look, carefully observing for two minutes, and after contemplating seriously for a while,


    He looked up and said, ¡°It should be no problem.¡±


    As these words came out, everyone around was taken aback.


    Shi Qi was surprised, how could it be no problem?


    Shi Qi slightly furrowed his brows, ¡°Chen, be careful with your words.¡±


    Chen Cang looked up and just saw Shi Qi, and replied with a slight smile, ¡°Thank you for your concern, Director Shi.¡±


    Shi Qi was startled, suddenly at a loss for words.


    When tf did I ever care about you?


    Shi Qi shook his head, ¡°I am considering the patient. I have never heard of this kind of puncture before, one slip and it could damage the fetal heart and lungs, the controllability is too low!¡±


    Chen Cang looked not at Shi Qi, but at Zhang Jinfeng, ¡°Director Zhang, are there any other treatment options?¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng shook his head, sighed, and looked at Yang Siqi and her husband, saying, ¡°Right now, the only thing that could save the child is this kind of puncture. There are definitely risks, but we will do our best to minimize them, and now you need to make a quick decision.¡±


    After speaking, Zhang Jinfeng turned to Zhang Yan, ¡°Xiao Zhang, go get the consent forms for the family to sign.¡±


    The ultrasound doctor then said urgently, ¡°We can¡¯t delay any longer! Director, we must act fast, the fetus¡¯s tolerance is likely decreasing, the fluid needs to be drained quickly, or else¡­ even without treatment, it¡¯s over!¡±


    At these words, Yang Siqi¡¯s face changed, ¡°I¡¯ll sign! I¡¯ll sign it, I¡¯ll listen to the director, Director Zhang, you must do your best to save the child, please!¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng nodded, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we definitely will do our best.¡±


    After saying this, he looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, start getting ready quickly.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Doctor Zhang, prepare a chest drainage kit for me.¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang went over to the patient, ¡°Lie flat¡­¡±


    Chen Cang turned to Cheng Xin nearby, ¡°Cheng Xin, help me tilt the bed up, try to incline it between 30 and 45 degrees.¡±


    Cheng Xin quickly nodded and began tilting the bed.


    Soon, everything was ready!


    Chen Cang looked around, seeing no one available to assist, and his gaze settled on Shi Qi, ¡°Director Shi, could you give me a hand?¡±


    Shi Qi¡¯s face changed, and he wavered, ¡°I don¡¯t agree with this surgical approach, so I won¡¯t cooperate.¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng was taken aback, not expecting Shi Qi to react like this.


    He was momentarily dumbfounded.


    Even several of the department heads were stunned. Disagreement with the approach?


    Zhang Jinfeng almost cursed out loud!


    You coward, are you worried about the repercussions on yourself?


    Such a disgrace!


    But, out of respect, Zhang Jinfeng scoffed, ¡°Come on, Chen, I¡¯ll help you.¡±


    At that moment, a man suddenly ran in.


    ¡°Hello, Director Zhang, I am the deputy director of thoracic surgery from Dongda First Hospital, Jing Ran.¡± a neatly dressed man with an air of sophistication walked in.


    Zhang Jinfeng was startled then smiled, ¡°Ah, Director Jing, nice to meet you!¡±


    ¡°Let me brief you on the situation.¡±


    After Zhang Jinfeng explained in detail, he looked at Jing Ran, ¡°Doctor Jing, what do you think?¡±


    Jing Ran slightly furrowed his brows, ¡°It¡¯s challenging! But indeed, it¡¯s the best treatment plan.¡±


    Shi Qi couldn¡¯t help but interject, ¡°Director Zhang, you see, you can¡¯t simply listen to a junior doctor; the director from Dongda First Hospital is also saying so, I think we should be more cautious!¡±


    Jing Ran glanced sidelong, just in time to make eye contact with Chen Cang, his interest piqued, ¡°Doctor Chen?¡±


    Chen Cang, in response, nodded, ¡°There¡¯s no time, let¡¯s start the preparation, Doctor Jing, assist me.¡±


    Chen Cang might have trouble ordering others around, but giving orders to Jing Ran seemed to be smooth sailing.


    After all, they had previous experience.


    In the ears of others, however¡­ this seemed a bit peculiar.


    Zhang Jinfeng himself was somewhat astonished, this Chen¡­ quite the character, ordering around the director from Dongda First Hospital!


    And Shi Qi almost laughed: Who do you think you are? Ordering around other hospitals¡¯ directors! Truly ridiculous.


    But then, to everyone¡¯s surprise, something unexpected happened.


    Jing Ran quickly nodded and skillfully put on his gloves, moving to the assistant¡¯s position!


    ¡°All right, Dr. Chen, we can start now!¡±


    Chen Cang gave a slight nod and said to the Ultrasound teacher, ¡°Teacher, could you please check this location for me and then make a mark.¡±


    The Ultrasound doctor nodded, instantly understanding Chen Cang¡¯s intention.


    Soon, everything was ready!


    Chen Cang watched the images on the Ultrasound machine, waiting for the moment when the child was relatively still.


    At this time, Shi Qi stood by, curiously looking on.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang coughed and said to Zhang Jinfeng, ¡°Director Zhang, please ask all the nonessential personnel to leave.¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng hurriedly nodded, but after looking around, he didn¡¯t see any nonessential personnel, huh?


    Suddenly, Zhang Jinfeng¡¯s gaze settled on Shi Qi, ¡°Director Shi, um, there¡¯s nothing for you here, you can go busy yourself with other matters. Staying here, you won¡¯t be of much help!¡±


    The remark was already quite face-losing!


    But who was Shi Qi?


    What was ¡®face¡¯ to him?


    Shi Qi shook his head: ¡°Director Zhang, I¡¯m not busy.¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng looked for a while, then suddenly said, ¡°No, Director Shi, you¡¯re blocking the light standing there. Look how dark it is by little Chen, he can scarcely see!¡±


    Shi Qi was almost driven to cursing aloud by that comment!


    They were already using lights, and the puncture was to be done inside the belly, where there was an Ultrasound machine. What need was there for light!


    Chen Cang himself almost laughed!


    Ginger is indeed spicier when it¡¯s old!


    Cheng Xin was about to leave when Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°Cheng Xin, come take a look. This is the core of Ultrasound-guided puncture.¡±


    At his words, Cheng Xin¡¯s face lit up with happiness and she stayed.


    Shi Qi was startled, damn, did that just single him out as the only ¡°nonessential person¡±?


    At this thought, Shi Qi left in a huff!


    After exiting, Shi Qi didn¡¯t feel like leaving. He stood at the door, not moving, snorted coldly, and thought: what if something goes wrong while I¡¯m gone!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang then began the procedure.


    The position of the child soon stabilized, and Chen Cang passed a color to Jing Ran.


    Jing Ran instantly understood and handed over the prepared 15cm-long puncture needle!


    Chen Cang took the puncture needle, carefully inserting it through the abdominal wall into the uterus and through the amniotic cavity. Under Ultrasound guidance, he timed it perfectly and inserted the needle into the fetus¡¯s chest cavity!


    The entire process was fluid!


    Without a hint of hesitation!


    Not even the slightest bit of doubt!


    It appeared effortlessly smooth.


    Yet the dangers were crystal clear to everyone involved.


    Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Prepare to draw fluid!¡±


    This chest puncture was different from those in the past; it required one person to stabilize the puncture needle and another to help withdraw the fluid. Otherwise, if an accident occurred, it would be difficult for one person to react.


    Jing Ran quickly started the operation!


    The whole operation was somewhat similar to amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood sampling, but was clearly more difficult.


    After the first chest puncture, Chen Cang extracted 150 milliliters and then began to withdraw the tube!


    The Ultrasound doctor suddenly exclaimed in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s good! The heartbeat has recovered a lot¡­ and even the alveoli have begun¡­ ¡±


    Chen Cang put down the puncture needle and looked at Zhang Jinfeng, ¡°Director Zhang, I need to draw fluid two more times. That¡¯s all for this time. Let¡¯s admit the patient into the hospital first.¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng was overjoyed and quickly nodded, ¡°Yes, yes!¡±


    ¡°Little Chen, you are truly impressive!¡±


    At this time, everyone in the ward was engulfed in celebration.


    Yang Siqi was full of surprise and delight, the feeling of going from despair to hope was truly unexpected.


    Looking at Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, I can¡¯t thank you enough!¡±


    Wei Junming excitedly grasped Chen Cang¡¯s hands, shaking a little, ¡°Dr. Chen, I owe you a lifetime of gratitude!¡±


    They had witnessed the entire procedure of this puncture surgery and knew how difficult it was.


    But Chen Cang had actually succeeded.


    With this in mind, both were overwhelmed with joy and cried uncontrollably!


    And Cheng Xin looked at Chen Cang with adoration, so impressive indeed.


    Jing Ran sighed, Dr. Chen was truly impressive, but¡­ for some reason, this set of thoracic puncture techniques seemed so familiar.


    It seemed¡­ something he had seen before!


    Yes!


    It was so similar to his own chest puncture technique¡­ but yet, it was even more effective, especially its stability.


    With this realization, the way Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang changed completely, so impressive!


    Chen Cang turned and faced Jing Ran¡¯s admiring eyes, feeling a bit unnatural, he awkwardly smiled, ¡°Thank you, Dr. Jing!¡±


    Jing Ran was taken aback, ¡°No! This is what I should do.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s an honor to witness such a rare thoracic puncture technique, it really is¡­ truly breathtaking!¡±


    Chen Cang still insisted, ¡°It was all thanks to Dr. Jing!¡±


    Jing Ran sighed, Dr. Chen was so polite and courteous, merely doing some menial tasks, yet so grateful.


    By now, Zhang Jinfeng¡¯s looks of appreciation towards Chen Cang grew even more, far surpassing that good-for-nothing in thoracic surgery.


    Really nice!


    ¡°Little Chen, you are really amazing. Actually¡­ even though I said so, I didn¡¯t have much confidence either, but we were lucky to have you!¡± Zhang Jinfeng remarked with emotion.


    Chen Cang gave a slight smile.


    ps: Five updates today, thank you for your support.

 Chapter 299 - Chapter 299: Chapter 300: The Aggrieved Shi Qi

    Chapter 299: Chapter 300: The Aggrieved Shi Qi


    Shi Qi stood outside, his emotions complex, wanting to leave, yet reluctant!


    He felt that the head of gynecology, Zhang Jinfeng, was destroying his own reputation!


    Such a treatment plan was unheard of, with extreme danger and risk; wasn¡¯t this just looking for trouble?


    Was Zhang Jinfeng out of his mind?


    Such a good reputation.


    However, thinking of how Zhang Jinfeng had asked him to leave earlier, treating him like a ¡°bystander,¡± Shi Qi was filled with complaints!


    Damn it!


    But, Zhang Jinfeng held a high position of authority in the Second Provincial Hospital; his husband was even a leader in the province, and he had a high status in the hospital. Even the dean and the secretary were polite to Zhang Jinfeng.


    After pondering, Shi Qi still decided to endure it, after all¡­ he couldn¡¯t afford to offend!


    But, while Shi Qi could endure Director Zhang, he couldn¡¯t stand Chen Cang!


    Thinking of Chen Cang, Shi Qi felt displeased.


    You, a junior doctor, having just been appointed officially a few days ago, are showing off in front of me.


    Today in two PKs, I¡¯ve been completely knocked out, without any chance to strike back. In these two PKs, Chen Cang didn¡¯t lose a drop of blood, which made Shi Qi uncomfortable.


    However, upon closer thought, it seemed that Chen Cang hadn¡¯t said a single excessive word to him from the beginning to the end!


    The only thing he said to me was, ¡°Thank you, Director Shi.¡±


    But, the more it was like this, the more upset Shi Qi became.


    First, it was his student who bested him, and the second time¡­


    The more he thought about it, the more upset Shi Qi became, as if he had swallowed a fly without peeling it.


    He was now waiting outside to watch the drama unfold!


    He simply didn¡¯t believe Chen Cang could perform a thoracocentesis through the infant¡¯s belly.


    This was purely a fantasy.


    Shi Qi became even more convinced that the likelihood of Chen Cang failing was too high.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Zhang Jinfeng sighed with relief; it really hadn¡¯t been easy.


    She was now feeling happy and excited, as if she was back in her youth when a group of people, knowing nothing, groped their way through clinical practice.


    Back then, after the hospital was established, many surgeries had been learned by going away for some time to study, and upon returning, several doctors would start performing them by figuring things out.


    Back then, they didn¡¯t have anyone to teach them, no senior doctors to guide them, so wasn¡¯t it just a matter of finding their own way?


    Therefore, this group of people was bold and had the guts!


    They dared to think and act.


    However, this was also a result of historical and various other factors.


    At that time, people¡¯s medical and health conditions were poor, resources were very limited, and even if there were problems, it wouldn¡¯t lead to the kind of widespread medical disputes like today, after all, there were still a lot of people unable to access medical care!


    So this group was forged in such an environment.


    This is also why, after arriving at the hospital, you find that the older doctors from that generation, in their fifties and sixties, are fiercer than one another!


    The term ¡°fierce¡± is very apt.


    Most of this group were born in the ¡¯50s and ¡¯60s, having experienced the medical profession¡¯s extreme backwardness from the ¡¯70s and ¡¯80s to today¡¯s prosperity. Seeing patients now, their eagerness and boldness is really incomparable to modern people.


    To be honest, even Zhang Jinfeng initially had no confidence; though the plan was conceived, its difficulty was too great, and even she herself was uncertain.


    But, there was no other way; she couldn¡¯t think of any other solution.


    Therefore, at this moment, what was needed was someone with strong execution, with a high level of proficiency in thoracic puncture.


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Cang, no matter how good Zhang Jinfeng¡¯s plan was, it would be of no use.


    This was a classic case of a perfect combination of diagnostic treatment and operational execution!


    It was even a case that could be presented at the annual conference, something to show off. Although Zhang Jinfeng was about to retire, he was very eager to share such a classic case.


    After all, it could provide a treatment approach for more medical staff!


    Don¡¯t say that just because the child hasn¡¯t been born yet, treatment isn¡¯t possible.


    This is a treatment plan that is rare both domestically and internationally.


    As Chen Cang¡¯s classmate, Cheng Xin was watching the excitement unfold, her heart surging with emotion!


    She felt this was what being a doctor was all about.


    A person who could save a patient¡¯s life at a critical moment.


    Thinking of Shi Qi, Cheng Xin immediately felt disdain; she had thought him to be someone of significance, but he turned out to be a disappointment.


    He didn¡¯t agree with the treatment plan and wouldn¡¯t cooperate with Chen Cang.


    Luckily you didn¡¯t cooperate, because if something had gone wrong, you¡¯d have been nothing but a hindrance.


    In fact, the standard of these doctors was very clear and transparent in the eyes of the students, who didn¡¯t have their own judgments?


    Moreover¡­ if something happens to you, word spreads quickly.


    The students were like cats that had smelled fish when it came to gossip about the hospital doctors.


    Now, Cheng Xin couldn¡¯t wait to get back to the dorm and share today¡¯s case with her classmates.


    It was too sensational!


    After all, performing a fetal thoracocentesis through the mother¡¯s belly was an exceptionally rare medical case, and the shock value of telling it was immense.


    Cheng Xin looked at the expressions of a few directors nearby and understood naturally.


    Such a case might come once in many years, or perhaps not even once in decades.


    So she felt a bit of excitement inside.


    Zhang Jinfeng looked at Chen Cang appreciatively, his eyes full of admiration, ¡°Chen, you were fantastic, we¡¯ll definitely call you for urgent consultations in gynecology from now on, won¡¯t we?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°It¡¯s my duty to do so.¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng looked at Chen Cang more and more favorably, pitying that his own daughter was already married off and his granddaughter was only five years old, otherwise¡­


    Jing Ran, seeing that things were resolved, also prepared to take his leave, ¡°Director Zhang, I will take my leave then.¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng quickly said, ¡°It was really trouble for Director Jing today, taking the effort to come all this way.¡±


    Jing Ran smiled, ¡°Director Zhang is too polite. If I hadn¡¯t come, I wouldn¡¯t have seen such a rare fetal thoracocentesis. I¡¯ve never even heard of it at Fuwai Hospital, it seems the gynecology department of the Second Provincial Hospital really lives up to its reputation!¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng smiled slightly, ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡±


    The group was ready to push the door and go out.


    As soon as the door opened, they suddenly saw Shi Qi standing at the doorway.


    The entire group was taken aback!


    Shi Qi also stepped back in alarm, smiling awkwardly, and asked, ¡°Director Zhang, is the puncture done?¡±


    Zhang Jinfeng didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry; Shi Qi really had thick skin.


    How could an ordinary person do such a thing?


    Zhang Jinfeng snorted coldly, ¡°Director Shi needn¡¯t bother himself, the puncture was very successful. Aren¡¯t you busy with work in your department?¡±


    Shi Qi was stunned, it had succeeded?!


    That was too¡­ too unbelievable.


    But looking at the expressions of the people around, it didn¡¯t seem like they were joking.


    Immediately, Shi Qi clapped his hands, ¡°Ah, that¡¯s great! After I left, I was worried, my heart was on edge, worried about a failed puncture.¡±


    ¡°You know me, Director Zhang, I¡¯m a pretty meticulous person, what can be done can be done, what can¡¯t be done just can¡¯t be done.¡±


    ¡°Now I can rest assured.¡±


    After saying that, Shi Qi had no face to stay, ¡°Well, I¡¯ll be leaving now, I¡¯m relieved that the patient is fine!¡±


    Watching Shi Qi¡¯s retreating figure, everyone let out a chuckle.

 Chapter 300 - Chapter 300: Chapter 301: Bacteria Do Not Undergo Reincarnation!

    Chapter 300: Chapter 301: Bacteria Do Not Undergo Reincarnation!


    In the past few days, the incident where Chen Cang performed a fetal thoracentesis for the obstetrics department spread like wildfire, suddenly making him famous within the hospital.


    The main reason for this was none other than Cheng Xin!


    After returning that evening, Cheng Xin had widely advertised the event.


    Exaggerating the story, she praised Chen Cang as a unique thoracic sage of the Second Provincial Hospital, with divine skill in thoracic puncture, saving the fetus amidst the amniotic fluid.


    And with the emergence of a hero, there often comes a supporting character.


    Shi Qi, too, became famous at this time, as among women, putting down a man often required just a few words, ¡°He¡¯s no good!¡±


    Consequently, the joke that Shi Qi was no good spread instantly throughout the Second Provincial Hospital.


    All the resident trainees in the entire hospital had the same reaction whenever Shi Qi was mentioned!


    ¡°Oh! Shi Qi? He¡¯s no good!¡±


    Originally, Shi Qi had wanted to establish some prestige among the training students and then network with the leaders, to see if he could become the director of the training center.


    But who would have thought, before he could do anything, a nickname of ¡°no good¡± had already spread among the students.


    Now those students jokingly called Shi Qi ¡°Shi No-Good¡±!


    Thinking of this, Shi Qi was so angry that his face turned red and his neck swelled!


    But Shi Qi was also curious, who had found out his secret?


    After that, Shi Qi quickly resigned from his teaching position at the training center, as no one could stand to teach a class when all the students looked at them with questioning eyes.


    After Shi Qi stepped down, Zhou Bo from the Department of Pulmonary Disease teamed up with Chen Cang.


    The work went smoothly thereafter.


    Thursday afternoon.


    Chen Cang was sitting in the office and sent a message to Meng Xi, ¡°Mr. Meng, I won¡¯t be going to the night shift tonight.¡±


    The emergency night shift was truly a big stage.


    There were all kinds of patients and anything could happen.


    That night, Nurse Xiaolin brought Chen Cang dinner, and after eating, Chen Cang started to cram knowledge on cardiothoracic surgery.


    Around eight o¡¯clock, suddenly two strangely dressed individuals came into the emergency room.


    The two of them mumbled their way in, and Chen Cang happened to be at the nursing station printing out a lab report.


    Seeing the two of them, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Both individuals looked to be over sixty, and their attire was indeed strange, not quite resembling that of devout Buddhists; it was hard to make out, and Chen Cang was also confused.


    One of the plump old ladies said, ¡°Doctor, my junior sister has a fever!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, and promptly pulled out a thermometer from his pocket, circled around the nursing station, and gestured for the two to sit down on the chairs.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take your temperature first!¡±


    Chen Cang placed the thermometer under the old lady¡¯s arm.


    After a few minutes, her temperature came out to 38.5 degrees Celsius.


    After some deliberation, Chen Cang said, ¡°We¡¯ll draw some blood and do a quick blood count.¡±


    The other party didn¡¯t refuse, and cooperated fully.


    Everything went smoothly, and afterward, it turned out to be no major issue.


    In general, patients with fever are mainly caused by bacterial and viral infections.


    The public may not understand the difference, because their clinical presentations are similar, with symptoms like fever, cough, pneumonia, etc.


    Through clinical tests, it is possible to distinguish between bacterial and viral infections, and generally, one can make a diagnosis.


    The most common blood count test, in cases of bacterial infection, will mostly show an increased blood picture, meaning an increase in white blood cells and neutrophils, indicating inflammation, which is a primary characteristic of bacterial infection.


    While viral infections rarely cause an increase in white blood cells, generally resulting in normal or decreased levels.


    Of course, there are various other testing methods; after all, a complete blood count has many limitations.


    The results of a complete blood count come back quickly, in less than 20 minutes, and the results were reported.


    With an increased white blood cell and neutrophil count, combined with the patient¡¯s symptoms, Chen Cang estimated it was a bacterial infection.


    Generally, it could recover without medication in a week, but considering the elderly patient¡¯s condition, Chen Cang still recommended some antimicrobial medication.


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°Auntie, you have a bacterial infection. You could take some medicine or get an IV, what do you think is best?¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, the two of them paused for a moment, ¡°What is this medicine for?¡±


    Chen Cang was also taken aback, ¡°This medicine kills bacteria! Kill the bacteria, and the illness will be cured.¡±


    The two heard this, looked at each other, and immediately shook their heads, ¡°No! No! We can¡¯t kill living beings!¡±


    At those words, even the nearby Xiao Lin and Nurse Chang Lina were taken aback.


    God, they can¡¯t kill living beings!


    Chen Cang was stunned as well; how could this be considered killing?


    Chen Cang found himself in an awkward position and explained, ¡°If the bacteria don¡¯t die, they will kill healthy cells, they¡¯re bad! It¡¯s okay to kill them.¡±


    The elderly person shook their head, ¡°That won¡¯t do either, is there some kind of medicine that can boost resistance?¡±


    Chen Cang was made speechless by their response.


    No matter how much he tried to persuade and explain, he couldn¡¯t make it clear.


    Just as Chen Cang was at a loss for what to do,


    Chang Lina suddenly said, ¡°The principle of not killing refers to sentient beings, like fish, birds, and animals¡­ Bacteria and fungi are not part of the cycle of rebirth, so it¡¯s not considered killing.¡±


    The two elderly ladies looked at each other and then at Chang Lina, ¡°Really?¡±


    Chang Lina nodded confidently, ¡°Really!¡±


    Only then did they agree to receive an injection and left after buying some medicine¡­


    After they left, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but give Chang Lina a thumbs up, ¡°Impressive! Where did you learn that?¡±


    Chang Lina laughed, ¡°I made it up.¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    The emergency room is just like that, full of all sorts of patients and indescribable stories that leave you both laughing and crying.


    But as a doctor, it¡¯s also quite helpless.


    Around eleven or twelve o¡¯clock, Chang Lina and Xiao Lin said, ¡°Xiao Lin, I¡¯ve summarized my experience in the ER; at this time, there are usually more trauma patients!¡±


    Xiao Lin chuckled, ¡°Sister Na, you should write a book called ¡®The Temporal Distribution of Emergency Department Patients,¡¯ it would be a bestseller.¡±


    Chang Lina¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°That¡¯s definitely a side business!¡±


    While they were talking, two people came in.


    The woman was heavily made up, making her age difficult to determine, but Chen Cang guessed that given her makeup, she was probably at least in her forties.


    She was supporting a man who didn¡¯t look very old, probably in his thirties, and he was quite spirited looking!


    However, before Chen Cang had a chance to further assess, he suddenly noticed that the man was continuously bleeding from his buttocks!


    This startled Chen Cang, who hurriedly asked, ¡°What happened?¡±


    The woman hastily replied, ¡°He was stabbed with a knife, now he¡¯s bleeding, doctor, please take a look quickly.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Did you call the police?¡±


    The two hesitated for a long time, then said hesitantly, ¡°Doctor, please treat the wound first, it¡¯s still bleeding.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, told the woman to go and handle the payment procedures, and led the man straight into the treatment room.

 Chapter 301 - Chapter 301: Chapter 302: This man is so difficult!

    Chapter 301: Chapter 302: This man is so difficult!


    When they reached the treatment room, Chen Cang carefully examined the wound and found that it wasn¡¯t too serious.


    It was just a cut about seven to eight centimeters long on the buttocks, neither deep nor shallow, and it wasn¡¯t a big deal; a simple debridement and suturing would suffice.


    In fact, the buttocks aren¡¯t a particularly important part of the body and they have plenty of flesh, meaning even if they take a cut, it¡¯s not easy for a serious issue to arise from there. It¡¯s one of the more resilient areas on the human body and probably falls under what would be considered the parental punishment zone; most people have probably been spanked there before.


    Chen Cang instructed the man to lie on the bed and was ready to start the debridement and suturing.


    Xiao Lin was helping with the paperwork while Chang Lina came in to assist Chen Cang.


    When Chen Cang mentioned calling the police, it was just a kind reminder after all¡­ such incidents involving knives were rather dangerous and had already crossed into criminal activity.


    But seeing that the other party didn¡¯t seem too concerned, he didn¡¯t insist. After all, it was their own business, and Chen Cang was just providing a friendly reminder.


    It was possible¡­ that the woman had inflicted the wound on herself.


    After all, recalling the last time the couple quarreled, the man couldn¡¯t bear to hit her and ended up hitting himself with a wine bottle.


    So¡­ what hasn¡¯t happened in this bizarre world?


    As a doctor, Chen Cang¡¯s job was to avoid meddling in others¡¯ affairs and concentrate on his work.


    However¡­ Chen Cang saw a blaze of gossip fire in Chang Lina¡¯s eyes as she displayed unlimited interest in the man¡¯s buttock wound.


    Chen Cang glared at Chang Lina, ¡°Hand me the gauze.¡±


    Noticing Chen Cang¡¯s look, Lina awkwardly smiled and handed over the gauze.


    The debridement and suturing weren¡¯t difficult, and Chen Cang administered a bit of anesthesia. After massaging the area, he started suturing after waiting a while.


    This type of simple wound suturing was still the most common task Chen Cang performed in emergency medicine.


    In just a few minutes, Chen Cang had neatly finished suturing.


    At that time, the woman walked in, and upon seeing that Chen Cang had completed the suturing, she hurriedly asked, ¡°Doctor¡­ is everything okay?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s just a superficial injury, no big problem. Just don¡¯t get it wet for the next few days¡­¡±


    The woman, seeing the stitch on the man¡¯s buttocks, was immensely distressed and rushed over, holding the man¡¯s hands with both of hers.


    ¡°Darling¡­ are you okay?¡±


    The man sighed and forced a smile, ¡°I¡¯m fine, silly girl, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Hearing the man¡¯s affectionate call, the woman couldn¡¯t hold back her tears any longer and started crying.


    The man¡¯s eyes too welled up, and soon the couple embraced each other and sobbed.


    Chang Lina and Chen Cang found the situation awkward and decided to give the couple some privacy, so they stepped out.


    Chen Cang took a sip of water and remembered the couple with their age gap, sighed, and said, ¡°See? That¡¯s true love!¡±


    The woman was definitely quite a bit older than the man, without a doubt, even more so!


    But seeing the two so affectionate with each other, it suddenly seemed as though age didn¡¯t matter.


    By comparison, Fu Yufang and Xiao Tianhua were much younger than the woman¡­ if one day I no longer want to strive on¡­


    Chen Cang spat disdainfully and quickly shook his head, discarding the horrifying thought.


    Lina too exclaimed in amazement, ¡°Right! Love doesn¡¯t care about age, it transcends geography, and travels through time¡­¡±


    The two stood outside the door for a few minutes, but when the couple didn¡¯t come out, they decided to go back in and hurry them up.


    After all, such matters should be dealt with at home.


    Don¡¯t show off your love in the hospital.


    Don¡¯t you know that hospitals are full of single people?


    Chen Cang pushed the door and went inside.


    He found the couple still holding each other and crying.


    The woman took a deep breath, ¡°Baby, what should we do?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve found out about us¡­ what are we going to do now?¡±


    With just one sentence, countless wild guesses bubbled up in Chen Cang¡¯s mind¡­


    What does that mean?


    Chang Lina¡¯s eyes widened even more as the flames of gossip blazed within her!


    The man shook his head too, sighing helplessly, ¡°Girl, I¡­ I don¡¯t know what to do either!¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t know how the man had managed to say the word ¡°girl.¡±


    After all, addressing a woman who¡¯s more than a full cycle your senior as ¡°girl¡± is quite heavy indeed.


    The woman¡¯s makeup had been cried off, indicating she was truly moved.


    Chen Cang suddenly felt that in front of love, these should not be problems, at least the two were truly in love.


    Thinking about the wound on his buttocks, Chen Cang even felt it was a testament to their love.


    After all¡­ they were companions in hardship, right¡­?


    Just as Chen Cang decided to interrupt the two from continuing their public display of affection.


    The woman then said, ¡°What if¡­ we talk to them?¡±


    The man¡¯s face immediately turned pale, ¡°Is¡­ is that appropriate?¡±


    The woman was distraught, ¡°Then what do we do? We can¡¯t just leave here, can we?¡±


    The man sighed deeply, his voice choking up as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what to do either, you heard what your son said, he¡¯s going to bring people to chop me, hit me every time he sees me, until he kills me!¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t sort out your son, we¡¯ll¡­ we¡¯re going to be in big trouble, I¡¯m only 30, I don¡¯t want to die¡­¡±


    By the end of it, the man, feeling wronged, broke down crying¡­


    And just as Chen Cang had taken a sip of water, he couldn¡¯t hold it in and ended up spraying it all over Chang Lina¡¯s face.


    Yet Chang Lina seemed oblivious¡­


    Her eyes were glued to the incomprehensible whirl of emotion in the couple¡¯s love!


    What the hell is this?


    Even Chen Cang, who wasn¡¯t particularly interested in gossip, couldn¡¯t help but look forward to the plot development.


    At that moment, the woman helped the man up, ¡°Let¡¯s go, honey, let¡¯s go home.¡±


    The man was taken aback, ¡°Which home?¡±


    The woman also hesitated, ¡°How about¡­ your place?¡±


    The man shivered, quickly shaking his head, almost crying in distress, ¡°I¡¯m afraid my dad will beat me to death¡­¡±


    The two continued talking as they walked away, leaving the emergency room.


    Watching their fading figures¡­


    Chen Cang suddenly felt this man was really in a tough spot¡­


    This was truly a love that couldn¡¯t gain approval from either family.


    For a moment, he was lost for words and didn¡¯t know what to think.


    No wonder they didn¡¯t report the stabbing to the police even after being attacked.


    Whether it was the man¡¯s father or the woman¡¯s son who had done the stabbing, there was no choice but to take the blow without complaint.


    What a tough situation!


    Chen Cang unconsciously put himself in the man¡¯s shoes and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Thinking about it, Chen Cang sighed, love really was frightening.


    The more passionate and stirring the love, the more dangerous it was.


    After much thought, Chen Cang suddenly felt that being single wasn¡¯t so bad after all.


    At least it wasn¡¯t life-threatening.


    At this moment, Lina, not bothering to wipe her face, rushed to the nurse¡¯s station, eagerly sharing the story she had just witnessed with Nurse Xiao Lin.


    After all, compared to the night shift gossip, what else really mattered?


    Chen Cang shook his head and returned to the duty room, ready to rest for a while.


    ps: For now, three updates. Everyone should rest early, muah.

 Chapter 302 - Chapter 302: Chapter 303: Blood Pressures Dropping Fast!

    Chapter 302: Chapter 303: Blood Pressure¡¯s Dropping Fast!


    The night in the emergency department never feels peaceful.


    In this place, it¡¯s best not to let your thoughts wander.


    Take Chen Cang for example, just as he lay down less than 10 minutes ago and his snoring was gradually picking up, a sudden and intense barrage of knocking violently erupted!


    From opening his eyes to rolling out of bed, to urgently opening the door, it took less than 5 seconds.


    After the door opened, Xiao Lin stood outside.


    Xiao Lin¡¯s face was panicked as he said hastily, ¡°Dr. Chen, it¡¯s bad news. A man riding a motorbike hit the pipe next to the pipe bridge. We are the closest here and are preparing to send a vehicle. We need a doctor to accompany!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed as he walked outside, saying as he moved, ¡°Call Wang Yong quickly, his second line, and tell him to come here at once, I¡¯m going to take a look.¡±


    Xiao Lin nodded briskly, ¡°Alright!¡±


    Chen Cang hurried onto the ambulance, where driver Old Liu had already prepared everything, ready to depart at any moment.


    Once Chen Cang was seated, the vehicle immediately took off.


    The distance to the pipe bridge from the Second Provincial Hospital was the shortest, only about 2 kilometers, but the most critical issue wasn¡¯t the distance.


    It was that the pipe bridge was impassable for vehicles!


    The pipe bridge, as the name suggests, is a small bridge built opportunistically for the pipes between two rivers, where people usually stroll.


    At most, electric bikes and bicycles can cross, but definitely not cars.


    The vehicle could only be parked by the side of the road, and the doctors themselves had to run up there. There¡¯s a long flight of stairs from the road to the bridge, which, for rescues, was undoubtedly a serious obstacle!


    In less than two minutes, the vehicle immediately arrived at the parking location, Chen Cang opened the door and ran down with the emergency kit, while driver Old Liu brought down the stretcher from the 120 emergency vehicle.


    Just as they were about to go up, but realized it was all stairs, the stretcher clearly could not be wheeled up, he quickly cradled it in his arms and charged up.


    It was already past one in the morning!


    There wasn¡¯t a single pedestrian on the road.


    By the time Chen Cang and driver Old Liu reached the pipe bridge, they saw two young men standing to the side, holding cell phones and making calls.


    A motorbike lay on its side, and a man was sprawled on the ground, his life hanging by a thread!


    However, seeing the state of the railing, a weight sank in Chen Cang¡¯s heart!


    With such damage!


    It was perilous for the man as well.


    Chen Cang had no time to think further and hurriedly ran with the driver to the scene.


    The two young men, upon seeing Chen Cang in white, running urgently, immediately brightened.


    ¡°Doctor! It¡¯s right here!¡±


    At that moment, the injured man was propped against the railing, half on the bridge, prone to falling off if carelessly moved!


    The street lights here were not very bright, only allowing a vague glimpse of the scene!


    There was no blood on the road.


    He likely had no external injuries¡­


    But looking at the man¡¯s condition, Chen Cang¡¯s biggest concern was whether he had any fractures in the head or neck area.


    If there were, transferring him would prove quite cumbersome.


    Yet, with the man in such a position, there was no way to administer aid, and they had to move him down.


    Chen Cang gently patted the man¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Comrade! Wake up!¡±


    ¡°Can you hear me, comrade?¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Cang called near his ear several times, but there was no response.


    He alerted everyone, ¡°Let¡¯s lift him down, Old Liu, you hold his waist, I¡¯ll handle his head, and you¡­ young men, help out with the legs.¡±


    Both of them were young, probably eighteen or nineteen or just over twenty, but what were they doing wandering on the bridge in the middle of the night instead of sleeping.


    Chen Cang had no time for those thoughts¡ªsaving the patient was his only concern at the moment.


    Transferring a patient is a delicate matter.


    Such a vehicular accident injury could easily involve fractures in the body, particularly in areas like the head, neck, and cervical spine.


    An improper transfer could easily lead to secondary injuries or even exacerbate the condition.


    Therefore, with emergent patients, you must not hastily transfer them, or you might inadvertently do harm while trying to help.


    And the actions of the two young people were spot on!


    After transferring the patient onto the stretcher, Chen Cang opened the first aid kit and hurriedly checked the blood pressure, then took the time to patiently observe the breathing and pulse¡­


    At this moment, the two young men noticed that the street lamp wasn¡¯t very bright, so they simply turned on the flashlight on their phones to illuminate the patient.


    Before long, the blood pressure results were in, and when Chen Cang saw the numbers, his face instantly changed!


    ¡°60/30mmHg!¡±


    Was this blood pressure indicative of hypovolemic shock?


    As the thought struck him, Chen Cang¡¯s face changed instantly.


    Hypotensive shock¡­ trauma¡­


    Was there bleeding?


    But he couldn¡¯t find any bleeding site!


    What could it be?


    Suddenly, Chen Cang saw something strange in the area illuminated by the flashlight.


    Without delay, Chen Cang said, ¡°Give me the flashlight!¡±


    The young man next to him cooperated and handed over the flashlight.


    Chen Cang quickly stooped down for a closer look!


    Jugular vein distension?!


    In an instant, a critical emergency medical case sprung to Chen Cang¡¯s mind¡ªthis was something he had to verify right away!


    Chen Cang handed the phone to the other person and took out his stethoscope in a hurry.


    His hands were somewhat trembling.


    After all, he had heard of this illness but had never encountered it, and if confirmed, he would need to organize a rescue on the spot immediately.


    There was no time to delay!


    With that thought, Chen Cang fitted the stethoscope and placed it on the victim¡¯s chest over the heart¡­


    Suddenly, a series of distant and faint heart sounds reached his ears, fast-paced, like drumming from ten miles away, ceaseless yet distant and faint!


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression became grave!


    It should be¡­ Beck¡¯s triad of cardiac tamponade!


    This was an emergency and severe cardiac condition: acute heart compression with the typical symptoms of Beck¡¯s triad.


    It was primarily characterized by elevated venous pressure leading to raised jugular venous pressure and jugular vein distension, which was the first feature.


    Second, was the abrupt drop in blood pressure resulting in decreased systolic pressure, narrowed pulse pressure, shock, pulsus paradoxus, and other symptoms¡ªthe second sign.


    The third was reduced cardiac output, distant and faint heart sounds, and tachycardia¡ªthe third sign.


    All three signs seemed to lay the truth bare before Chen Cang!


    At that moment, Chen Cang touched the victim¡¯s skin, feeling the body temperature continuously dropping.


    Chen Cang was now certain that the patient was suffering from acute cardiac tamponade caused by trauma and was in a state of shock, in a critical condition, and at risk of dying at any moment.


    What is cardiac tamponade?


    The heart is the organ that maintains the circulation of blood throughout the body, ensuring blood supply to all the organs and tissues.


    The pericardium is like armor for the heart, protecting it from outside, a sac-like structure that envelopes the heart and the roots of the large blood vessels going in and out of it.


    Between the heart and the pericardium lies a cavity, called the pericardial cavity, which is the space between the parietal pericardium and the visceral pericardium on the heart¡¯s surface.


    Normally, the pericardial cavity contains a small amount of pale yellow fluid that lubricates the heart¡¯s surface, much like the lubricating oil in an engine. After all, the heart, like a piston, constantly beats, and if there is a pericardium outside, it needs friction, and this pale yellow fluid acts as a lubricant, reducing the friction between the heart and the pericardium.


    However, when traumatic heart rupture or pericardial blood vessel injury occurs, it causes blood accumulation in the pericardial cavity, known as hemopericardium or cardiac tamponade, which is a rapid cause of death from heart trauma.


    Since the elasticity of the pericardium is limited, an acute accumulation of blood in the pericardium of 150ml can restrict blood return to the heart and heartbeats, causing acute circulatory failure and ultimately leading to cardiac arrest.


    Imagine, after all, blood accumulating within the pericardial cavity compressing the heart, preventing it from beating. The heart, in an attempt to continuously supply the body with blood, can only desperately contract and relax, contract and relax¡­ leading to an increased heartbeat rate, but the amount of blood pumped out becomes less and less because the pressure from outside the heart creates increasing resistance!


    Soon, the heart might abruptly stop beating, causing acute circulatory failure and even¡­ instant death!


    Therefore, the patient¡¯s condition is critical, extremely dangerous, facing the threat of death at any moment.


    And what needed to be done now was to relieve the pressure on the heart¡ªit was the patient¡¯s only chance of survival.


    ps: There are four more chapters, five chapters tonight.

 Chapter 303 - Chapter 303: Chapter 304: Emergency Rescue!

    Chapter 303: Chapter 304: Emergency Rescue!


    Chen Cang was very worried now!


    What worried him was not knowing how much longer the patient could hold on and whether they could make it to the hospital.


    After all, pericardiocentesis¡­


    Right!


    Chen Cang suddenly remembered that he possessed a pericardial skill package.


    [Pericardial Skill Package: After opening, you can choose to acquire a pericardial skill.]


    Chen Cang gritted his teeth and hastily selected [Emergency Pericardium Puncture Catheterization].


    To tell the truth, mastering this skill made Chen Cang feel like he was at a loss.


    After all, the pericardial skill package contained a variety of pericardial surgical procedures, including pericardiotomy, pericardial repair, and so on¡­


    These are all tier-three surgeries.


    By comparison, pericardiocentesis is merely a tier-two puncture operation.


    Although it¡¯s a bit more complex than thoracocentesis, peritoneocentesis¡­ these four major punctures, it ultimately is still a puncture technique.


    But¡­ with the situation being so urgent, Chen Cang had no time to hesitate and directly chose to learn!


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have learned Emergency Pericardium Puncture Catheterization. Would you like to start training now?]


    At that moment, Chen Cang didn¡¯t have the luxury to hesitate and immediately chose to enter!


    The greatest risk of pericardiocentesis compared to thoracentesis is that if the needle mistakenly enters the ventricle, it could cause big trouble!


    After all, the pericardium is not as thick as one might imagine!


    And the heart is not as sturdy as one might think.


    Maybe¡­ this puncture, far from alleviating the patient¡¯s condition, might exacerbate the symptoms, or even cause death.


    A change flashed before Chen Cang¡¯s eyes, and he was suddenly in the familiar environment of an operating room.


    After entering the training space, he began to simulate, learn, and master the indications for pericardiocentesis, the conditions for pericardiocentesis¡­


    He trained continuously, practicing punctures under ultrasound guidance¡­ adjunctive punctures¡­ punctures under cardiac monitoring¡­


    Until at last, Chen Cang began blind punctures.


    This was the most crucial step!


    It was to perform pericardiocentesis with the puncture needle without any auxiliary equipment.


    Obviously, given the situation at the scene, there was no other choice but to perform a blind puncture!


    Time ticked by, and Chen Cang¡¯s proficiency grew steadily.


    But in the end, he never achieved one hundred percent certainty.


    This left Chen Cang feeling very uncertain.


    The puncture training was comprehensive.


    It even included the emergency management conditions for pericardial puncture.


    For instance, pericardial effusion does not always require immediate surgery but has an accurate scoring standard. Some require urgent puncture, while others need to be done within 12 to 48 hours.


    Not all pericardial effusions are better off treated sooner.


    In the virtual space, Chen Cang continuously learned and disseminated techniques and knowledge related to pericardial effusion and pericardiocentesis.


    Soon, the training time ended.


    This was the first time Chen Cang felt his special training time was so fleeting.


    He truly wanted to perfect this technique and practice the ¡°blind puncture¡± success rate to one hundred percent, to provide better and more accurate treatment for the patient.


    Unfortunately, things often do not go as wished¡­


    Soon¡­


    After Chen Cang exited the virtual space, a notification tone rang out.


    [Ding! Emergency Pericardium Puncture Catheterization: Master Level; Special effects: 1. Precision; 2. Safety.]


    The two special effects were very important to Chen Cang.


    These were also the two areas Chen Cang had focused on practicing continuously in the virtual space.


    First, it was essential to ensure that the location of the pericardiocentesis was precise, and secondly to ensure absolute safety during the puncture process.


    ¡­


    At this moment, outside, less than a second had passed.


    This second was very short, but for the patient at this moment, it could mean the difference between life and death.


    Chen Cang quickly used the knowledge he had learned to assess the patient¡¯s condition.


    Seeing Chen Cang hesitate, Old Liu urgently said, ¡°Doctor Chen, let¡¯s hurry up and go! Take him to the hospital, we can talk more when we get there, alright?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s too late, the patient is in a very critical condition now, there is too much fluid accumulated in the pericardial cavity, seriously affecting blood circulation. If we don¡¯t drain it, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t even make it to the hospital!


    Even if we did get to the emergency room, who knows what the situation would be? He needs emergency pericardiocentesis now!¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Old Liu immediately shook his head!


    This young Chen was too impulsive.


    Having been a 120 ambulance driver for twenty years, Old Liu was very familiar with such situations.


    What is pericardiocentesis?


    He naturally knew what it entailed.


    But it was precisely because he understood that he was even more worried.


    What are the conditions at the scene?


    Nothing!


    No CT imaging, no echocardiography for location, cardiac monitoring couldn¡¯t be brought online!


    What are you going to use to do it?


    A blind procedure?!


    Do not think that drivers of 120 emergency vehicles are just drivers. They have seen as much life and death as the doctors and witnessed numerous rescues. Thus, upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, they immediately became anxious and uneasy.


    ¡°Are you sure we can¡¯t make it to the hospital, Old Liu?¡± the driver still asked with some concern.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°We can¡¯t hold out. The heartbeats are getting weaker by the moment; if we wait until we get to the Second Provincial Hospital, the person might already be gone!¡±


    Not draining the fluid puts such a massive burden on the heart that nothing you do will help.


    Relieving the pressure on the heart is the patient¡¯s only chance of survival.


    But how should he proceed, given the patient¡¯s limited condition to perform puncture location and explore cardiac structures?


    If there is no ultrasonic positioning, the doctor must rely solely on their tactile sense and experience, which might result in a failed puncture or even worsen the condition. Moreover, since the cause of bleeding is unknown and the extent of internal cardiac damage is unclear, could the puncture cause uncontrollable hemorrhage due to cardiac rupture? Or would it render the pericardiocentesis ineffective, even accelerating the patient¡¯s death?


    Was there time for a traditional emergency thoracotomy to explore and stop the bleeding?


    This wasn¡¯t about whether it was allowed, the conditions simply weren¡¯t met!


    There wasn¡¯t enough time!


    A slew of thorny issues lay before Chen Cang, and with the patient¡¯s life hanging by a thread, he couldn¡¯t afford to ponder any longer. The chance to snatch a life back from the grips of the Grim Reaper was fleeting, this one time only!


    Emergency Pericardium Puncture Catheterization!


    Chen Cang made up his mind, deciding that he must race against the clock to rescue this glimmer of hope.


    If the patient didn¡¯t undergo pericardium puncture, it wasn¡¯t just a question of whether the rescue could succeed, they wouldn¡¯t even make it to the hospital.


    Not to mention diagnosing and understanding what the problem was.


    Nevertheless, emergency pericardium puncture catheterization could quickly address the life-threatening issue of cardiac tamponade¡ªthe most crucial step, as it was vital for both immediate survival and for buying time for subsequent rescue efforts.


    Chen Cang opened the emergency kit, no pericardium puncture needle was inside, but there was a pleural puncture needle.


    Either could be used.


    Lao Liu looked anxious and apprehensive, watching Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ are you going to¡­¡±


    ¡°Blind puncture?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded. What other methods were there without a blind puncture?


    None!


    He had to perform a puncture.


    After cutting open the clothes and disinfecting, Chen Cang began his operation.


    Chen Cang suddenly wished he had X-ray vision. Wouldn¡¯t that be great?


    Not for anything else but to increase his chances of success during the puncture!


    Anxiety!


    Unease!


    All these emotions filled Chen Cang¡¯s heart.


    There was only one chance.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, the puncture needle slowly penetrating as he needed to feel every bit of sensation, that empty feeling as it broke through the pericardium.


    Chen Cang proceeded slowly.


    Everyone around him didn¡¯t dare to make a sound.


    Lao Liu was even more still, not daring to disturb in the slightest.


    Muttering to himself in his mind.


    Had he ever seen such a blind puncture before?


    He had!


    But they¡¯d all bloody failed!


    Bloody hell.


    Thinking about it, Lao Liu felt a surge of fear.


    He followed Chen Cang¡¯s every move with trepidation, terrified something might go wrong.


    Chen was¡­ really bold!


    The stifling environment made it hard to breathe.


    But for Chen Cang, it was the cold sweat on his back that he felt!


    Please, let nothing go wrong.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang felt the puncture needle give way, he stopped as soon as he felt it.


    His deft hands allowed for a swift response.


    Chen Cang said to Lao Liu, ¡°Draw some for me, I want to see what fluid it is.¡±


    Lao Liu nodded hastily, ¡°How much should I draw?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°First draw back a few milliliters, let me see the situation.¡±


    After repeating his instructions, Chen Cang shook his head again, ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±


    Lao Liu gave an embarrassed smile, somewhat ashamed.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t mind; after all, Lao Liu wasn¡¯t a doctor, and drawing back required skill, you couldn¡¯t pull too hard, in case you drew from the heart¡­


    Chen Cang drew back slowly, facing no resistance.


    He was relieved¡­


    After 5 milliliters came out, Chen Cang saw it was all blood.


    His face changed instantly.


    This wasn¡¯t good news.


    Blood vessel rupture? Or heart damage?


    All were possibilities.


    Chen Cang continued to draw.


    Feeling the resistance from the syringe, he gently withdrew.


    After about 100 ml, Chen Cang didn¡¯t dare to draw more.


    He removed the puncture needle, picked up the stethoscope to begin auscultation, and felt that the heart sounds had recovered, and the heartbeat was becoming stable.


    Chen Cang was instantly excited.


    It was a success!


    The pericardium puncture was successful.


    Chen Cang, feeling the gradual recovery of the patient¡¯s vital signs, rejoiced inside.


    At least the patient had taken the first step!


    In other words, they had defeated the first boss blocking the patient¡¯s road to successful treatment!


    Cardiac tamponade!


    However, this didn¡¯t mean the patient was out of danger.


    Because the underlying cause of the pericardial effusion was still unclear, they must hurry to the hospital for the next steps of the rescue.


    ¡°Lao Liu, prepare to lift onto the ambulance, to the hospital!¡±


    Once Lao Liu heard this, he instantly understood the situation and quickly, with Chen Cang, carefully lifted the stretcher towards the emergency ambulance.

 Chapter 304 - Chapter 304: Chapter 305: The Director in Pajamas

    Chapter 304: Chapter 305: The Director in Pajamas


    When Chen Cang and Old Liu were descending the stairs, worried about complications, two proactive young men also came to help, assisting in carrying the injured person to the ambulance.


    After some hesitation, they decided not to go to the hospital.


    The pair had only gone out to use the internet in the afternoon and were just returning to the school now, never expecting to encounter such an incident.


    By now, they felt they had done their moral duty.


    What if¡­ what if the patient woke up and pinned the blame on them? Then it would all become incomprehensible.


    The reason they had waited until now was because of the concern that the man might have complications.


    Both were young men, freshmen at the university, still na?ve and inexperienced, who, when faced with such a situation, impulsively wanted to lend a hand.


    But¡­


    As soon as they saw the man being loaded into the ambulance, they suddenly felt a desire to retreat.


    After all, their department didn¡¯t have the funds to cover the patient¡¯s medical expenses in advance, and getting involved in any legal dispute would be even more troublesome.


    They got up and left without leaving any contact information.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t mind these details, as the most pressing concern now was to get the patient to the hospital for urgent care, determine the cause of the cardiac tamponade, and immediately commence aggressive treatment.


    At this moment, the sound of the police siren from a 110 patrol car could be heard.


    It was then that Chen Cang realized these two boys must have also called the police.


    Given the patient¡¯s critical condition, and the possibility of significant internal bleeding, it was imperative to get him to the hospital for timely treatment.


    Chen Cang¡¯s greatest worry was damage to the heart, which could lead to a large volume of blood entering the chest cavity¡­


    If that were the case, treatment would become progressively more difficult.


    So, at this very moment, every second counted!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang quickly negotiated with the police and then hurriedly gestured for Old Liu to head to the hospital.


    One of the police officers also followed Chen Cang to the hospital.


    Seated in the vehicle, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were glued to the values on the heart monitor; the patient¡¯s condition seemed stable for now.


    Blood pressure was gradually recovering, the pulse was still fast, but much better than before.


    Chen Cang opened a saline drip and started it for the man.


    Although the quantity of blood drawn wasn¡¯t significant, there was no way to know if there was a substantial internal bleed in the patient at this time.


    If the patient was in shock due to a large loss of blood, it was necessary to use saline and blood to correct the hypovolemic shock and urgently prepare for thoracotomy to explore further!


    At this juncture, Chen Cang picked up the phone to start contacting the hospital, organizing a rescue team!


    He summoned the on-duty doctors from cardiology, thoracic surgery, and orthopedics, informing them of the situation.


    The patient¡¯s condition was unknown, but preparations for resuscitation had to be made, ready to deal with any special circumstances that may arise!


    It was then that Chen Cang took out the man¡¯s phone and managed to unlock it with two tries.


    Now that the patient was in a coma due to shock, it was necessary to contact his family and fully inform them of the situation, proceeding according to various protocols.


    As an emergency doctor, one truly needs more than just surgical abilities.


    Opening the contact list, Chen Cang saw an entry labeled ¡°wife¡± and hurriedly dialed the number.


    The first time, there was no answer.


    Chen Cang tried calling a second time, and there was still no answer.


    Just as Chen Cang was about to contact someone else, the phone suddenly rang.


    ¡°Do you even remember to come back?!¡± the woman on the other end asked sharply.


    Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment, then composed his speech, starting with, ¡°Hello, I am a doctor from the emergency department at the Second Provincial Hospital. Your husband has been involved in a traffic accident on the overpass, and we have now transported him to the Emergency Department at the Second People¡¯s Hospital of Dongyang Province.¡±


    ¡°He is currently in shock, and we need to notify the next of kin immediately to sign for surgery preparation¡­ Please come to the hospital as soon as possible.¡±


    After Chen Cang finished speaking, the other party was clearly stunned, silent for a long while.


    Anyone would be the same!


    Waking up in the middle of the night to such news would be baffling.


    Chen Cang originally thought the woman might suddenly burst into tears!


    But unexpectedly, the woman was very calm and after a brief silence, she spoke quickly and methodically:


    ¡°Doctor! I¡¯ll be right there, just wait a moment, I agree with all the emergency measures you take, I will sign them¡­ Also, I am on my way right now, please do not delay the surgery, you must save my husband!¡±


    As she said this, the woman seemed worried about something and quickly added: ¡°Money is not an issue, Doctor, I will bring the money immediately, I only have 20,000 in cash at home, but I have more than 10,000 in my Alipay¡¯s Huabei and 100,000 in Jiebei¡­ You mustn¡¯t delay because of the time.¡±


    By the end of this, the woman¡¯s voice was choked with emotion.


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang was actually a bit nervous as well.


    However, even with a quick check by the machines, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t guarantee what the current situation was.


    If this trauma-induced cardiac tamponade led to severe bleeding, it would be troublesome indeed.


    Listening to the sounds from the monitor, the smell of alcohol filled his nostrils.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t know the exact details of how the man had met with an accident or what had caused it, but drinking was certainly a major factor.


    Chen Cang sighed¡­


    There was no time to dwell on these things.


    In a few minutes, the ambulance returned to the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital, with Wang Yong already anxiously waiting at the entrance.


    Inside the emergency hall, four or five doctors were poised and ready, waiting for the surgery to begin.


    The emergency department had already applied for a green channel while Chen Cang¡¯s ambulance was en route.


    As the man was wheeled out of the ambulance, all the medical staff in the emergency hall sprang into action like a set of laws being activated, immediately starting a well-organized hustle!


    Draw blood!


    Conduct tests!


    Run lab work!


    Contact the blood bank!


    The CT room was already prepared for the examination, with the nurses pushing the patient directly there.


    And the bedside ultrasound had already arrived in the emergency resuscitation room, ready for testing at any moment.


    The orthopedic doctor who arrived was again the young Dr. Zhang Xueliang.


    And a doctor from the cardiothoracic surgery department came over and said, ¡°Dr. Chen, we have already contacted the department head, and he will be here shortly.¡±


    This surgery was destined to be led by the cardiothoracic surgery department.


    With the assistance of the thoracic surgery department.


    And the help of the orthopedic department.


    Therefore, in case of any eventuality, the cardiothoracic surgery doctor had promptly gotten in touch with Tao Zi.


    Just then, Chen Cang turned around to see Li Baoshan rushing in, wearing pajamas and leather shoes.


    Indeed, the pajamas were pink.


    It was clear that Li Baoshan had not had the time to change his clothes; he simply threw on his leather shoes by the door and rushed over as quickly as he could.


    Chen Cang suddenly realized why the hospital¡¯s residential quarters were provided for department heads, and it wasn¡¯t just because of their high status. It was because, during overtime and emergency rescues, they needed to be on call at a moment¡¯s notice.


    At this moment, Chen Cang felt a surge of respect for Director Li.


    He had abstained from alcohol for twenty or thirty years, maintaining a clear head at all times, ensuring he could be immediately ready for surgery whenever needed.


    This was the dedication of an old emergency department head.


    Li Baoshan put on his white coat and came straight over.


    The patient was still undergoing examinations and had not yet returned.


    Meanwhile, the operating room was ready, the blood was prepared, waiting for the surgery to begin at any moment.


    At this moment, all the medical staff were primed and ready to face the battle ahead.


    The hearts of everyone, along with the patient¡¯s condition, were ridden with anxiety!


    And at that time, Tao Zi also arrived, in stark contrast to Li Baoshan¡¯s meticulousness. Tao Zi was directly wearing a white tank top, boxer shorts, and flip-flops, and as he walked, one could hear the ¡°slap slap¡­ slap slap¡± sound of his footsteps.


    However, such a sight seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary to everyone; after all, these department heads worried about their patients¡¯ well-being and had no time to change clothes!

 Chapter 305 - Chapter 305: Chapter 306: Blindly Piercing through the Pericardium!

    Chapter 305: Chapter 306: Blindly Piercing through the Pericardium!


    Chen Cang hurried over to the group of directors and said, ¡°Director, you¡¯ve arrived.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded and asked in a grave tone, ¡°How is it now?¡±


    Chen Cang swallowed, ¡°Still relatively stable, we¡¯ve gone to do the relevant examinations, and should be returning shortly.¡±


    Li Baoshan uttered an acknowledgment.


    At this moment, Director Tao Zi from the Department of Cardiac Surgery, and Director Xu Tianfu from the Department of Cardiology walked over.


    Tao Zi frowned and asked, ¡°Chen? What is the patient¡¯s condition?¡±


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°The patient¡¯s examination results haven¡¯t come out yet, but I suspect it might be a cardiac tamponade caused by traumatic hemopericardium!¡±


    As soon as the words ¡°cardiac tamponade¡± were mentioned, the expressions of all the directors changed dramatically!


    Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition!


    Examinations can¡¯t be conducted carelessly; at the very least there should be someone supervising!


    With this thought, Li Baoshan asked anxiously, ¡°What examination have they gone for?¡±


    At this time, Chang Lina, who had taken the patient for the examination, approached with a trolley, accompanied by an on-duty radiologist.


    The radiologist pulled out the MRI films, ¡°Director, take a look, this is the chest film, this is the MRI.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tao Zi¡¯s complexion changed drastically, ¡°Why did you do an MRI?¡±


    This question dumbfounded everyone!


    The radiologist was surprised for a moment, ¡°To ascertain the extent of blood accumulation inside the pericardial cavity¡­¡±


    This response left the radiologist bewildered¡ªcould it be¡­they made a mistake?


    But seeing the three directors staring at them with serious faces, the radiologist involuntarily shrank back, questioning if they had indeed made a mistake.


    Li Baoshan quickly inquired, ¡°Is the patient¡¯s condition stable now?¡±


    Chang Lina who had taken the patient for the examination nodded, ¡°Stable! Blood pressure is 90/70, heart rate is 70 beats per minute¡­ The patient¡¯s vital signs are stable.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the surrounding directors let out a sigh of relief.


    Xu Tianfu said slowly, ¡°It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t allow you to perform an MRI, but it should only be done when the patient¡¯s condition is stable, otherwise a cardiac tamponade can easily be fatal.¡±


    Indeed!


    Xu Tianfu was not joking.


    Every year, a significant number of cardiac patients die in CT and MRI rooms.


    Therefore, many hospitals in the country don¡¯t recommend cardiac MRI or CT for patients suspected with myocardial infarction or heart failure until their condition stabilizes.


    The radiologist offered an awkward smile, ¡°Director, the patient was stable when brought in.¡±


    The three were taken aback!


    Cardiac tamponade caused by hemopericardium¡­how could it stabilize without treatment?


    At this time, Xu Tianfu holding the MRI films, suddenly paused, ¡°This isn¡¯t right¡­ why is there no blood accumulation?¡±


    Even Tao Zi felt surprised upon careful comparison, and after looking at the echocardiogram, became curious as well.


    ¡°It¡¯s not right, look, the second and third ribs on the left side¡­ There are clear signs of blunt trauma.¡±


    ¡°But the ultrasonic fluid level¡­¡±


    At that moment, Old Liu hurried in, ¡°Dr. Chen, I¡¯ve brought the blood you asked me to fetch.¡±


    At this point, everyone¡¯s attention turned towards Chen Cang.


    Li Baoshan¡¯s eyes widened in shock, ¡°What kind of blood is this?¡±


    Chen Cang stated, ¡°When I arrived at the scene with driver Old Liu, the patient was in poor condition, suffering from a very serious cardiac tamponade, blood pressure at only 60/30mmHg, and the classic triad of cardiac tamponade symptoms was very evident. This was my first time encountering a patient displaying a complete triad of symptoms. The patient¡¯s heartbeat was extremely weak; worried that he might encounter problems on the way to the hospital, I made a snap decision to perform a pericardiocentesis on site.¡±


    With this revelation¡ª


    Instantly, the expressions of the three directors changed again.


    They all knew the severe consequences of cardiac tamponade.


    But how do you perform pericardiocentesis outdoors?


    Without ultrasound guidance on the one hand, and without monitoring on the other,


    performing pericardiocentesis could only be a blind puncture.


    Blind puncture¡­ A single mishap could lead to problems.


    After all, the pericardium is not the thoracic cavity with ample space available; its operable space is very limited.


    As Tao Zi thought about this, he hesitated and asked, ¡°Did you¡­ ¡®blindly puncture¡¯ it?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I had no choice at that moment, the situation was special, and the patient was in extreme urgency, an emergency that couldn¡¯t be delayed, so I did it.¡±


    The three exchanged glances and couldn¡¯t help but swallow¡­ They could imagine the peril involved.


    Nevertheless, the more they thought about it, the more relieved they were afterwards.


    If things had gone wrong, the patient might not have made it to the hospital.


    Li Baoshan sighed, ¡°You took too much of a risk.¡±


    Tao Zi shook his head, ¡°There was no choice!¡±


    When it came to this, the way the three looked at Chen Cang changed.


    After all, among the dozens of people in the cardiology and cardiac surgery departments of the Second Provincial Hospital, there were probably only a few who could perform a blind pericardial puncture.


    Even Tao Zi and the others were not sure if they would dare to do it!


    Perhaps¡­ in that situation, they too might have proceeded, right?


    As Tao Zi pondered internally, whether he could actually succeed was really uncertain.


    With this in mind, Tao Zi looked at Chen Cang with genuine admiration.


    Brave and resourceful!


    To rapidly diagnose cardiac tamponade and then boldly carry out field punctures was indeed a capability.


    Sometimes, people really have no choice but to acknowledge their seniors.


    Watching a new generation of talented youngsters gradually emerge, the directors felt both relief and a sense of loss.


    Relieved, because there was someone to follow.


    Regretful, because they were getting old¡­


    However, after learning that the patient¡¯s vital signs had stabilized following the pericardiocentesis and considering that there indeed was some blood remaining in the pericardial cavity,


    but with no massive bleeding, it likely wasn¡¯t a major vessel injury.


    Nor was it an acute rupture of the heart.


    The only concern now was the injury to the pericardium causing damage to the pericardial blood vessels.


    At this moment, various test results came back.


    The indicators were basically normal; hemoglobin was low, but not low enough to require transfusion; white blood cells were slightly elevated, which was also normal.


    Having reviewed all the medical reports, Tao Zi said, ¡°We now need to open the chest and explore to confirm whether there is damage to the heart or blood vessels. We should identify the source of bleeding and provide timely symptomatic treatment.¡±


    ¡°Moreover¡­ look at the X-ray here, there is still pericardial effusion and clots, so next we should open the pericardium, clear out the pericardial effusion, and while identifying the source of the bleeding, repair any damage to the cardiac vessels!¡±


    Xu Tianfu also nodded, ¡°Luckily, the heart wasn¡¯t penetrated, or it would not be so simple. Look at this broken rib; it probably injured the blood vessels of the pericardial tissue without causing damage to the heart. I estimate this is likely the main cause of the hemopericardium and cardiac tamponade!¡±


    It must be said, Sun Sheng was quite fortunate, the fractured rib didn¡¯t cause damage to his heart, otherwise¡­ it would not be the situation we see now.


    After discussing, the directors made a decision to quickly complete the surgery preparations.

 Chapter 306 - Chapter 306: Chapter 307: Husband and Wife, A Matched Pair!

    Chapter 306: Chapter 307: Husband and Wife, A Matched Pair!


    However, everyone understood that if it hadn¡¯t been for Chen Cang, no matter how lucky the victim was, their life would have been in jeopardy today.


    After all, who has the ability to perform a ¡°blind pericardiocentesis¡± in such a situation to relieve cardiac tamponade!


    That¡¯s too risky!


    And way too bold.


    But it was indeed the absolutely right choice.


    To tell the truth, the three directors really didn¡¯t know how to judge Chen Cang¡¯s actions.


    Is this what they call a hero shaped by the circumstances?


    In that kind of environment, one had to make a decisive choice.


    And Chen Cang had just the right capacity to do so.


    Only then was the patient able to be saved.

    ¡­


    Outside the emergency room, a woman got off her electric scooter, and without even taking the time to park it properly, she hurried toward the emergency room!


    Even when she heard the ¡°clang¡± of her electric scooter falling over, she didn¡¯t look back.


    She was a woman known for her thriftiness.


    But it was such a woman who kept the family going.


    At this moment, however, she focused all her thoughts on this man; nothing else counted!


    Niu Hui¡¯s heart was filled with trepidation. The normally assertive woman suddenly felt as though she had lost her support.


    She thought she was a strong, independent woman, but at this moment, when she heard the news, she felt as if the sky had fallen!


    Car accident!


    Shock!


    Resuscitation!


    Critical condition!


    Several terms kept swirling in her head, terrifying her to the core!


    She carried all her valuables with her: twenty thousand in cash, ID card, mobile phone, bank cards, and even the jewelry her husband had bought her when they got married.


    What this woman could do was simple; she just wanted to do everything she could to save her husband, to keep her sky.


    At this moment, she didn¡¯t blame him for drinking, for returning home late, or for liking to play mobile games at home.


    As long as you¡¯re alive, everything¡¯s fine!


    Before the tears could flow from her eyes, Niu Hui wiped them away with a swift motion of her hand.


    She couldn¡¯t cry at this time; she knew that if she cried, who would watch over the home?


    He was indeed just an ordinary man,


    Not a superhero,


    Not strikingly handsome,


    Not overflowing with talent,


    Even somewhat greasy in middle age!


    But¡­ he¡¯s my husband, the one I deeply love, the sky of this home.


    With that thought, Niu Hui pushed open the emergency room door and rushed in.


    The bustling emergency room did not slow its frenzied pace because of Niu Hui¡¯s arrival.


    After rushing in, Niu Hui hurriedly approached the nurse station, ¡°Doctor, I am Sun Sheng¡¯s wife, how¡­ how is he now?¡±


    Nurse Tan Zhonglin, upon hearing this, quickly said, ¡°Please wait a moment, the victim is still undergoing necessary tests. Dr. Chen, the family member is here!¡±


    With the help of the police, Chen Cang and the others had learned that the victim was named Sun Sheng, a local, and various pieces of information had also been compiled.


    Now they were just waiting for the test results to come back to prepare for the surgery!


    Chen Cang hurried over and said to Niu Hui, ¡°Hello, I am Chen Cang, I was the one who called you earlier.¡±


    Niu Hui nodded and quickly said, ¡°Dr. Chen, hello¡­ how is my husband doing?¡±


    After she spoke, she looked at Chen Cang with hope, her heart filled with anxiety.


    It was as if she were waiting for a verdict!


    Chen Cang then explained, ¡°The victim¡¯s condition is now relatively stable. Let me explain the details to you: the victim¡¯s frontal ribs fractured in the car accident, causing damage to the blood vessels within the pericardium, and a large amount of blood rushed into the pericardial cavity, leading to cardiac tamponade. The situation was critical, so I performed an emergency pericardiocentesis.


    Although the cardiac tamponade has been relieved, we are not yet certain if there is any damage to the heart or other blood vessels, and there is still blood in the pericardial cavity. A thoracotomy is needed for a clearer diagnosis and better treatment, but this does not mean there are no risks.¡±


    ¡°So all I can tell you right now is that the patient is temporarily stable.¡±


    After explaining, Chen Cang continued, ¡°Right, here¡¯s the informed consent form, the surgery notification¡­you need to help sign it.¡±


    As Chen Cang spoke, a nurse from the emergency room hurried out, ¡°Dr. Chen, the patient Sun Sheng has woken up!¡±


    Those words made Niu Hui¡¯s face light up with joy.


    Oftentimes, family members have the idea that waking up means recovery. Upon hearing that her husband had woken up, Niu Hui looked at Chen Cang anxiously, ¡°Can I go in to see him?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Come with me.¡±


    Chen Cang figured that unless there was something special, the patient should have woken up by now, as the shock he suffered was a hypotensive shock due solely to cardiac tamponade. Given the time that had passed, it was about time for him to wake.


    While speaking, Chen Cang led Niu Hui into the emergency room.


    The vitals on the monitor looked very normal, and Chen Cang could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    And Niu Hui, seeing Sun Sheng lying on the bed, immediately burst into tears.


    ¡°Husband¡­ you¡¯re okay, aren¡¯t you¡­¡± Niu Hui couldn¡¯t hold back her sobs, choking up as she stood to the side, tears streaming down her face.


    But Niu Hui, not understanding medicine, didn¡¯t dare to touch Sun Sheng, fearing that she might cause a problem.


    At this moment, Sun Sheng, seeing his wife cry like a tearful figure, felt a softness in his heart, ¡°Wife¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­I¡­¡±


    Sun Sheng wanted to apologize, but Niu Hui quickly stopped him, ¡°Husband, don¡¯t talk. Do you know¡­ you scared me to death. What would the child and I do without you!¡±


    ¡°You have to get better, okay? I beg you, no more drinking, please¡­¡±


    Watching his wife so emotional, Sun Sheng wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, tears involuntarily flowed down.


    Seeing his usually strong wife crying like a child, Sun Sheng¡¯s guilt was unspeakable.


    And as she watched her husband lying on the emergency room bed, Niu Hui¡¯s heart was filled with gratitude.


    This family wouldn¡¯t work without any of them.


    A woman¡¯s ¡°strength¡± is built upon having a man who stands tall for her.


    A man¡¯s ¡°immaturity¡± comes from having a woman who cares for him meticulously, considering every detail for him all the time.


    Together, they make a family!


    After chatting for a bit, Chen Cang received a call from the nurse in the operating room, ready to start the surgery at any moment.


    Having obtained signatures on the consent form from both parties, Chen Cang wheeled the patient into the operating room.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, directors like Li Baoshan, Tao Zi, and others were discussing fervently in the operating room¡¯s office.


    Tao Zi, full of curiosity, said, ¡°I¡¯m finding Chen Cang more and more inscrutable. This young man is really too outstanding, I don¡¯t even know how to evaluate him now!¡±


    ¡°I think he is a born surgeon! Old Li, tell us about it. How was he trained?¡±


    Li Baoshan¡¯s face was expressionless. Not just Tao Zi, even he was starting to find Chen Cang hard to read.


    Because Chen Cang had always kept a low profile.


    He never showed off his abilities, but whenever the department faced a problem, Chen Cang was always able to resolve it smoothly, solving various issues.


    Thinking of this, Li Baoshan suddenly became curious.


    What is it that Chen Cang can¡¯t do?


    For appendicitis surgery, he developed a method for minimally invasive appendectomy!


    For gallbladder surgery, he performed complicated cholecystectomies so well, he even personally operated on Director Fang, reminding Li Baoshan of the time when Zhang Youfu expressed his admiration.


    Director Tan Zhonglin and Director An Yanjun from hand surgery were enchanted by his tendon suturing technique!


    And that rebar injury case he recently handled, excellent repair work on the trachea and esophagus in thoracic surgery¡­


    What other skills is Chen Cang hiding?


    Seeing Li Baoshan with a stern face and not speaking, Tao Zi thought Li was worried about him snatching Chen Cang away, and sarcastically said, ¡°Come on, Old Li, say something. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m trying to steal Chen Cang from you. I¡¯m just really curious. How did the emergency department train him?¡±


    Li Baoshan cleared his throat. How would he know!


    To lie was not Li Baoshan¡¯s style. Rather than doing that, it was better to remain silent, which made him seem more mysterious.


    ps: Due to taking a train today, I didn¡¯t manage to finish writing. After getting off the train and rushing to the hotel, it¡¯s a bit rushed and I caught a cold.


    By the way, today I am attending a meeting of a writers¡¯ association in Shanxi province, so I¡¯m out and about. After all, until recently, I hadn¡¯t been associated with any official organization. Now that I am, there¡¯s training on the 30th, 29th, and 1st.


    Even as a seasoned writer, I want to improve myself and strive to write better novels that satisfy everyone.


    So, I¡¯m taking this opportunity to learn a bit more.


    After all, among them are many seniors and veteran authors. It¡¯s possible I could pick up some tips for improvement.


    Lastly, I will try my best to ensure that I can complete the task of delivering five updates a day to make the reading more enjoyable for everyone.

 Chapter 307 - Chapter 307: Chapter 308: Bountiful Harvest

    Chapter 307: Chapter 308: Bountiful Harvest


    ¡°`


    Seeing Sun Sheng wake up, Chen Cang truly breathed a sigh of relief.


    Upon arriving at the operating room, Chen Cang suddenly heard a system notification sound.


    [Ding! Congratulations, your blind pericardiocentesis was successful, drawing a pericardial tamponade monster, level 40, boss level; given the high difficulty and lack of system prompts, you will receive: 1. Thoracotomy Hemostasis; 2. a white Skill Book.]


    Chen Cang was slightly startled.


    Seeing a flash of purple, the system notification sounded again.


    [Thoracotomy Hemostasis: Master level; Do you want to start training?]


    Chen Cang hesitated for a moment and did not choose to train immediately, maybe another day.


    He was very satisfied with this reward!


    Why say so?


    Thoracotomy Hemostasis is a type of chest trauma surgery, and hemothorax is one of the most severe complications of chest injuries, with at least seventy percent of casualties involving various degrees of hemothorax.


    Massive intrathoracic hemorrhage is one of the main causes of early death from trauma!


    So, this skill is very practical for emergency situations!


    Even better than giving Chen Cang a liver transplant surgery.


    After all, the best skill is the one you can use yourself.


    Even if he had a top-tier surgery skill for liver or heart transplantation, it¡¯s quite possible he wouldn¡¯t have the opportunity to use it for years.


    But this Thoracotomy Hemostasis is an excellent lifesaving skill for emergencies!


    Then there was the white Skill Book; a white Skill Book indicates that the skill level is only basic.


    So Chen Cang didn¡¯t hold out too much hope and activated it casually.


    [Spleen Repair Technique: Basic level.]


    Spleen Repair Technique?


    Chen Cang was immediately delighted!


    Not bad, not bad at all.


    He hadn¡¯t expected it, but he had acquired two emergency skills.


    After pushing the door and entering the operating room, the three directors were already prepared. Seeing Chen Cang come in, they paused for a moment and then exchanged glances.


    Tao Zi: Should we give up the lead surgeon position?


    Li Baoshan: I¡¯m not sure¡­


    Xu Tianfu: Don¡¯t look at me; I¡¯m just an assistant.


    After some hesitation, Tao Zi asked, ¡°Chen, do you want to take the lead on the surgery?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and hurriedly shook his head, ¡°Director Tao, you flatter me. I¡¯ve never done heart surgery before. I¡¯m just starting to learn it; how could I know how?¡±


    As soon as this was said, Li Baoshan and Tao Zi exchanged looks and actually breathed a sigh of relief.


    Good, good.


    So there¡¯s something you don¡¯t know.


    However, Tao Zi immediately thought, ¡°Come on, Chen, come here, I¡¯ll teach you how to perform a pericardial repair surgery.¡±


    [Ding! A special scenario has been triggered, Tao Zi¡¯s teaching mode, pericardial exploration, debridement, and repair surgery;]


    Chen Cang was startled. A special scenario triggered?


    This was the first time encountering such a teaching mode!


    But¡­ what¡¯s the difference between the teaching mode and ordinary surgery?


    It certainly couldn¡¯t be a bad thing, and with that thought, Chen Cang quickly nodded and thanked Director Tao.


    Yuan Yuan was on the night shift and after seeing Chen Cang, she prepared the surgical gown like a dutiful wife, carefully helping him into the clothes and tying the straps.


    Watching this, the three directors were immediately taken aback!


    They hadn¡¯t been given such considerate treatment just now, had they?


    ¡­


    Chen Cang walked to Tao Zi¡¯s side, a spot that offered a better view of Tao Zi¡¯s surgical field and made it easier to learn.


    As a veteran cardiothoracic director, Tao Zi had seen more than his fair share of pericardial surgeries.


    The difficulty of the surgery seemed minor in his view.


    Such surgeries are performed under local anesthesia, with the patient laying supine in position.


    Just as Tao Zi was about to begin, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system notification sound.


    [Ding! Teaching mode activated, analysis and explanation functions enabled.]


    The surgery began, and Tao Zi took the scalpel, glancing at Chen Cang, ¡°Keep your eyes peeled, Chen. Usually, the incision for pericardial surgery is made on the fourth or fifth rib on the left side, cutting into the chest from the posterior lateral direction.¡±


    As he spoke, Tao Zi began to make an incision slowly.


    ¡°`


    At this moment, the scene in the teaching mode was constantly evolving, including how to choose the incision, which incision was best, and the significance of the incision¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s mind was overwhelmed with information at this time!


    A flood of messages surged into his mind, every little operation was a key point.


    Tao Zi pushed aside the pleura on both sides and moved part of the diaphragm.


    After entering the thoracic cavity, Tao Zi began to carefully search the pericardium, looking for the location where it was injured.


    By this time, the broken ribs were visible on the pericardium, with traces of puncture.


    Fortunately, the ends of the broken ribs weren¡¯t very sharp and, after injuring the pericardium, didn¡¯t cause a severe laceration.


    But one could faintly discern the scene within the pericardium.


    At this time, Tao Zi started to cut open the pericardium along the laceration, with incredible finesse¡­


    [Ding! Capture detected: pericardiotomy¡­ Please study carefully¡­]


    Chen Cang watched intently, while Tao Zi had also stopped talking and was fully focused on inspecting the pericardial wound.


    ¡°Saline¡±


    ¡°Suction¡±


    ¡°Gauze¡±


    ¡°Hemostatic gauze¡±


    ¡­


    The seamless cooperation between Tao Zi and the two directors left Chen Cang utterly speechless.


    This level of teamwork could be described as having no gaps, as if each could read the other¡¯s mind.


    The surgery continued.


    At this point, Li Baoshan and Xu Tianfu hoisted the pericardium with four traction sutures, while Tao Zi carefully cleared the blood accumulating within the pericardium.


    The entire process was extremely delicate and meticulous, and Chen Cang didn¡¯t dare to let out a breath.


    Soon after the cleanup was completed, red letters suddenly appeared in Chen Cang¡¯s eyes.


    That was the bleeding point!


    It was a vessel within the pericardium that was still slowly bleeding; Tao Zi handled the broken vessels one by one with composure.


    Either ligating to stop the bleeding or suturing¡­


    At this time, Chen Cang¡¯s virtual screen seemed to be deeply analyzing and exploring Tao Zi¡¯s surgical procedure, transforming it into various knowledge points that entered Chen Cang¡¯s mind.


    ¡­


    [Ding! Detection of pericardial repair detected, please study seriously¡­]


    By this time, the surgery had reached its final stages.


    [Ding! Teaching mode ended! Mission received: Complete five pericardial explorations, debridement, and repair surgeries within five days. Completion reward: Advanced level in pericardial exploration, debridement, and repair surgeries!]


    Chen Cang¡¯s face lit up with joy!


    Was this homework or a mock exam?


    The reward was generous indeed, an advanced pericardial surgery.


    The surgery was quickly finished!


    Everything went smoothly.


    After returning to the ward, it was already past three in the morning.


    From one o¡¯clock, everyone had become somewhat fatigued; this high-precision, high-intensity work had taken a toll on Chen Cang.


    But at least a life had been saved.


    At this thought, a sense of relief washed over Chen Cang.


    After all, this was what being a doctor was all about.


    Upon arriving back at the ward, Niu Hui was pacing anxiously in the emergency hall.


    When she saw everyone coming back, she hurried over, about to inquire about the status of the surgery from the director.


    Then she suddenly saw the man on the hospital bed looking at her with a silly, happy smile.


    Instantly, Niu Hui felt both exasperated and amused.


    This man always knew how to push her buttons.


    But, the surgery must have been a success, right¡­


    At this thought, Niu Hui let out a snort, and cried¡­


    Tears streamed down her cheeks.


    And her smiling face bloomed like a flower.

 Chapter 308 - Chapter 308: Chapter 309: Husband and Wife Stall

    Chapter 308: Chapter 309: Husband and Wife Stall


    Chen Cang stepped out of the observation room, his heart aching painfully!


    Not the pain of a heart attack!


    Neither was it the discomfort of myocardial ischemia.


    It was more like¡­


    Yes, the kind of pain that comes from real harm, the pain of the soul.


    Anxious through the night.


    One was a love spanning time, dealing Chen Cang a -999 of real damage.


    The other was the plain warmth of family happiness, causing Chen Cang another -9999 of real damage.


    Chen Cang did not know when he would heal, pondering over and over, he decided to seek Qin Yue for healing another day¡­


    ¡­


    Recalling the way Sun Sheng and Niu Hui looked into each other¡¯s eyes, smiling foolishly, Chen Cang thought, how wonderful!


    Sun Sheng looked at his wife, her face slightly worn: ¡°Wife¡­how much money did we spend?¡±


    Niu Hui glared at Sun Sheng lying in bed, wanting to blame him, but seeing his face, she couldn¡¯t bring herself to utter a word of reproach, and all her grievances and complaints turned into tender affection: ¡°We can earn money again if it runs out, but what would I do if I lost you?¡±


    Through the cold we know the pine and cypress,


    In adversity we see true feelings.


    In silence, we express without words,


    Speechless love is the most telling.


    Enjoying each other¡¯s company,


    We¡¯ll walk together till our hair turns white.


    Husband and wife are birds of the same journey; they never part through the years.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the morning, Chen Cang, as usual, finished his shift and got off work to rest.


    Upon leaving the hospital, he bought a bowl of pea tofu pudding, an egg, two buns, and a small plate of pickles at a street breakfast joint.


    Having eaten at six o¡¯clock the previous evening, by now, 9 a.m., fifteen hours later, he was incredibly hungry!


    Chen Cang figured he would need to keep a pot in the duty room to cook something during his night shifts in the future.


    The sun at this hour was very comfortable, neither warm nor dry, giving a refreshing feeling.


    After breakfast, Chen Cang suddenly found that his tiredness wasn¡¯t as apparent anymore.


    He got up and decided to take a stroll in the Drum Tower Park.


    At this moment, the Drum Tower Park was bustling, with members of the senior citizens¡¯ art troupe still singing in chorus, their powerful old tunes very nostalgic. Grandfathers were cavorting with grandchildren by the little woods; at this hour, it was rare to see young guys and girls ¨C the park was basically the realm of the elderly.


    Passing by a row of corridors, Chen Cang watched the aunties chatting away in a bustling crowd, and his heart suddenly fluttered.


    This was the famed matchmaking corridor.


    Chen Cang heard that these aunties had endless resources for singles and making introductions was like a pastime to them.


    But after some thought, Chen Cang forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart, and after a turn around the park, feeling sleepy, he simply went home to sleep.


    When he woke up, it was already three in the afternoon. He habitually picked up his phone to check for any calls or messages.


    Turns out, there were quite a few people concerned about him.


    China Unicom informed him he needed to top up since his credit limit for the next month was insufficient.


    The weather forecast reminded him thunderstorms were expected today, and to remember to bring an umbrella.


    Gossip news had pushed a lot of stories.


    ¡­


    But one message in particular caught Chen Cang¡¯s eye.


    Some staff at Dongyang Province People¡¯s Hospital had not complied with hospital regulations, openly selling medical waste, causing severe negative impact, and were given¡­disciplinary action!


    Chen Cang was taken aback, after clicking into the news, he was stunned.


    Nurses at the surgical and orthopedic departments had, during Xing Yu¡¯s hospitalization, displayed cotton swabs with his blood, IVs, and shared them on social media, attracting buyers with intent. Some even posted them directly on Taobao.


    Chen Cang then looked closely and realized this incident had recently become quite a sensation, even making it to the Weibo hot search!


    At this revelation, Chen Cang shuddered with fear.


    Fortunately, Xing Yu had not had a catheter inserted at the time, or else¡­ Chen Cang felt a chill run down his spine.


    How much would that have been worth?


    Horrifying, horrifying!


    At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.


    Chen Cang glanced at the caller ID, and was momentarily startled: Why was Zhang Youfu calling him?


    Picking up the phone, ¡°Director Zhang, hello!¡±


    Zhang Youfu chuckled, ¡°Hey Chen, I went to look for you in the department and found you weren¡¯t there. They said you had finished the night shift. By the way, are you free tonight?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°I¡¯m free.¡±


    Zhang Youfu hummed, ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner tonight then, and talk about the year-end party.¡±


    When Chen Cang heard ¡®year-end party,¡¯ his spirits were lifted.


    After all, now burdened with a task, the entry-level mission required joining a provincial medical association and obtaining a director¡¯s position, while the advanced mission involved two national associations.


    He had already joined the Chinese Medical Association¡¯s Hand Surgery Branch and was just waiting for the honorary certificate to be mailed back.


    Chen Cang wondered if he could mix his way into a director¡¯s position at the Dongyang Provincial Hepatobiliary Surgery Society?


    Deciding that he needed to have a heart-to-heart with Director Zhang that evening, Chen Cang wanted to see exactly what was required to become a director.


    With that thought, he quickly nodded and agreed to the invitation.


    Around six in the evening, Chen Cang¡¯s phone rang again.


    ¡°Chen, I¡¯ve sent you the address, come on over. You¡¯ll get to taste my cooking tonight.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, inviting him to his home? Director Zhang was such a warm and hospitable host?


    ¡°This¡­ how embarrassing, Director!¡± Chen Cang laughed awkwardly.


    Zhang Youfu smiled inwardly, it was his intention for Chen to feel embarrassed.


    That Li Heitan couldn¡¯t compare with my, Zhang Youfu¡¯s, tactics for winning people¡¯s hearts. Chen Cang, you will eventually be one of us in general surgery!


    With that thought, Zhang Youfu laughed and said, ¡°What¡¯s there to be polite about? I had some misgivings about you before, today consider this as my way of apologizing, just come over directly, I¡¯ve sent the address to your WeChat.¡±


    After hanging up, Zhang Youfu sent Chen Cang an address.


    Hearing Zhang Youfu¡¯s words, Chen Cang was also slightly stunned.


    This Director Zhang¡­ really is¡­


    A respected director offering to apologize to a junior doctor, he was truly giving ample face.


    If Chen Cang didn¡¯t go, it would be a significant slight to Director Zhang¡¯s dignity.


    Actually, since later interactions with Zhang Youfu were fairly cordial, and after some thought, Chen Cang decided to bring a gift for the director.


    How about buying a couple of bottles of wine?


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang felt it was a good idea.


    He headed to the supermarket and bought two bottles of ten-year-old laobaifen liquor; not too expensive, nor too cheap, just the appropriate gift.


    After all, it wasn¡¯t proper to visit a leader¡¯s home empty-handed.


    Besides, Zhang Youfu was a director, a man in his early forties with a bright future, an important figure in the field. It was good to foster a warm relationship with him.


    After more than twenty minutes, Chen Cang arrived at Zhang Youfu¡¯s home.


    Upon knocking on the door, the person who opened it left Chen Cang dumbfounded!


    ¡°Eh? Teacher Yang?¡±


    The opener was none other than Yang Tong, the head of the teaching and research section.


    Yang Tong smiled, placed the slippers at Chen Cang¡¯s feet, and warmly said, ¡°Come in, Chen.¡±


    In recent times, Chen Cang hadn¡¯t been a stranger to the teaching and research section due to matters related to laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, often seeing Yang Tong.


    No wonder Yang Tong was so warm to him¡­


    So that explained it.


    In many hospitals, it¡¯s common for husbands to be clinical directors or doctors, and wives hold administrative or other functional positions.


    Contrary to private companies which discourage inter-office relationships.


    Hospitals, being public institutions, particularly encourage internal relations!


    After all, this is akin to indirectly retaining talent.


    Your family is here, where else would you go?


    Therefore, over the years, hospitals have shown a preference for hiring couples during recruitment.


    They would even use the arrangement of jobs for partners as an additional perk for talent acquisition.


    It¡¯s the same for Jing Ran and Geng Yan¡ª even if Geng Yan only had a bachelor¡¯s degree, if Dongda First Hospital wanted to invite and retain Jing Ran, they would certainly arrange a job for Geng Yan, even if it¡¯s not in clinical work, can¡¯t she do administrative work?


    Moreover, these couple teams generally rise together¡ª as one partner excels, the other gradually advances as well.


    Zhang Youfu and Yang Tong in front of him were a clear example of this.


    ps: Seven chapters today, thank you!

 Chapter 309 - Chapter 309: Chapter 310: Three Cups of Milk Tea

    Chapter 309: Chapter 310: Three Cups of Milk Tea


    Yang Tong bent over to prepare slippers for Chen Cang, who placed the bottle of wine he was carrying on the entryway stand and took off his shoes to enter.


    Yang Tong showed no disdain as she neatly arranged Chen Cang¡¯s shoes on the shoe rack.


    Who would have thought that the always delicate and dignified head of the Science and Education Department, Yang Tong, could be so virtuous at home.


    Seeing what Chen Cang had brought, Yang Tong chided him immediately:


    ¡°You¡¯re here, so what are you doing bringing gifts!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and joked, ¡°Showing up empty-handed to mooch food and drink, Director Zhang definitely wouldn¡¯t bring me along next time.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Tong also laughed, ¡°Come in then, Old Zhang is cooking, I¡¯ll go get you a glass of water.¡±


    Chen Cang quickly waved his hands, ¡°Ms. Yang, if you keep being this polite, I won¡¯t dare to visit the Science and Education Department again.¡±


    Yang Tong paused and turned to look at Chen Cang, ¡°Why¡¯s that?¡±


    Chen Cang answered with an embarrassed smile, ¡°I¡¯m afraid others will think that Ms. Yang is my sister and assume I¡¯m taking shortcuts.¡±


    Yang Tong, in her forties, couldn¡¯t hide her wrinkles despite how well she took care of herself. After all, she started out in the clinical field, and never got enough rest. Following Zhang Youfu to the Provincial Second Hospital, she then switched to administration.


    Her child had gone to the United States for university, and her administrative job wasn¡¯t too stressful or tiring, so now she was most concerned with her skincare.


    When she heard Chen Cang, a man in his twenties, calling her ¡°sister,¡± she was as pleased as if she had tasted honey!


    ¡°Ah, that ¡®sister¡¯ call is so endearing!¡± Yang Tong said with a warm, serious smile, ¡°From now on, you can call me sister! It¡¯s decided!¡±


    At this moment, Zhang Youfu, donning an apron and wearing slippers, came to the door. Seeing the wine in Chen Cang¡¯s hand, he smacked his lips, ¡°Ah, Xiao Chen, you¡¯ve brought some good stuff for me. You don¡¯t know, your Ms. Yang locked away all of my liquor, and the key is at her mother¡¯s. Now I don¡¯t drink at home anymore, except for sneaking a few cups outside.¡±


    Zhang Youfu brought with him a delightful scent of seafood.


    Seeing Zhang Youfu, usually in business attire, now in the casual look of a home-husband, and seeing how close he was with Yang Tong, Chen Cang could not help but feel a sense of fondness.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, take a seat, I¡¯ll go help Old Zhang. These prawns were sent from Macau by a friend; they¡¯re said to be delicious, so you¡¯ve got to try them.¡±


    After bustling about for another half-hour, a grand seafood feast was presented on the table.


    Yang Tong opened a bottle of red wine: ¡°We¡¯re not drinking spirits today, I¡¯ll join you in some red wine.¡±


    This was the first time Chen Cang had eaten such large lobsters.


    They tasted strange, with a very expensive flavor¡­


    The three of them chatted as they ate.


    Only then did Zhang Youfu speak up, ¡°Xiao Chen, your application for membership has been approved, and the certificate will be issued in a few days. In about two weeks, around the 16th, the annual meeting will be held at the Kempinski, and I¡¯ll send you the invitation then.¡±


    ¡°I asked you here today to tell you something. After you go back, make sure to polish up the surgical video you did for Dean Fang, turn it into a concise surgery video, and try to win an award with it, it¡¯ll help you in the future.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°What award?¡±


    Zhang Youfu put down his wine glass, ¡°At each annual meeting, there¡¯s a surgical video contest, and winning that award is an important reference for the society. Whether you are being considered for something at the hospital or university, it¡¯s useful.¡±


    Chen Cang was suddenly motivated, ¡°If I win the award, can I become a director?¡±


    Zhang Youfu was stunned, and even Yang Tong was slightly taken aback.


    ¡°You want to be a director?¡± Zhang Youfu asked after a moment of surprise.


    Chen Cang, slightly embarrassed, still nodded, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Right, Teacher Zhang, what are the requirements for becoming a director of the society?¡±


    Zhang Youfu thought for a while, ¡°Requirements? There¡¯s nothing special really. Generally, you get nominated by committee members and elected by the vote of members, but having made special contributions in the field of surgery, such as pioneering a new surgical method, winning a major award, or publishing top-tier papers, these all count.¡±


    Yang Tong suddenly spoke up, ¡°Xiao Chen, I think you can do it. Just bring out that paper on minimally invasive surgery under laparoscopy, there should be no problem! When the time comes, let Old Zhang nominate you, generally, nobody will refuse.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Cang nodded immediately.


    The dinner took over an hour, during which Zhang Youfu and Chen Cang talked a lot about the annual meeting.


    After tidying up the table, Yang Tong brought over some desserts, ¡°Try your sister¡¯s handiwork.¡±


    Zhang Youfu¡¯s home was decorated in a very Western style, fully modernized and all sorts of tableware and home appliances were smart, looking very upscale.


    Around nine o¡¯clock, Chen Cang noticed it was getting late and stood up to leave.


    Zhang Youfu escorted Chen Cang downstairs.


    Back at home, Chen Cang mulled things over, figuring that since the election depended on the members, in that case, he wanted to become a director.


    You either need connections!


    Or you need ability!


    Connections¡­ How many people did Chen Cang even know?


    Ability¡­ That was more of a broad concept.


    Chen Cang thought it over and suddenly his eyes lit up; if he offered them something they wanted, wouldn¡¯t they vote for him?


    So¡­ what did they want?


    Generally speaking, the members of the provincial-level society branch fall into two main categories: one is the doctors from top-tier hospitals, and the other is the directors from grassroots hospitals.


    In that case¡­ if he wanted to win their support,


    For the grassroots hospitals¡­ he could certainly consider the minimal incision appendectomy technique as a surgical method to offer.


    As for the doctors and directors of top-tier hospitals, maybe he could use the laparoscopic minimally invasive small incision method.


    Both of these were things they wanted, and they would definitely vote for him.


    Two new surgical approaches!


    That should be enough, right?


    And besides, these two new surgical techniques could also be promoted by demonstrating them on stage, earning everyone¡¯s approval, which would help to further popularize them.


    The paper on minimally invasive small incisions had already been published.


    Chen Cang turned on his computer, decided to write another paper analyzing the minimal incision appendectomy he had summarized some time ago, and planned to publish it.


    That way, he would have both papers and techniques!


    There shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?


    After getting approval for the two new techniques, he could also conveniently complete the task at hand, truly killing several birds with one stone.


    With this in mind, Chen Cang began to analyze the surgery data from the minimal incision appendectomies he had performed at Lan County People¡¯s Hospital¡¯s general surgery department¡­


    But according to statistical methods¡­ what¡¯s a t-test, what¡¯s chi-square analysis¡­ he really didn¡¯t understand them.


    After much consideration, Chen Cang tried sending Qin Yue an emoji: a grimace.


    Qin Yue¡¯s reply came quickly: ¡°No overtime, no substitute shifts, nothing but eating out.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°A meal at Haidilao.¡±


    Qin Yue didn¡¯t reply.


    Chen Cang, ¡°Plus a milk tea!¡±


    Qin Yue: ¡°Make it three.¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Deal! Shake on it.¡±


    ps: Damn it¡­ I accidentally let that slip. Frustrating. It was scheduled for tomorrow, wait a second¡­ The other two tickets for 12 o¡¯clock¡­ After all, perfect attendance is very important.

 Chapter 310 - Chapter 310: Chapter 311: Are You Cheating!

    Chapter 310: Chapter 311: Are You Cheating!


    After Chen Cang sent her a huge pile of data, Qin Yue regretted it.


    Why did she even get to know this guy!


    Shameless!


    Data analysis¡­ data analysis¡­


    Qin Yue opened SPSS 22.0 software and began a laborious task.


    To be honest, Qin Yue didn¡¯t know why she hadn¡¯t thought about refusing¡­


    At eleven o¡¯clock at night when Qin Xiaoyuan was preparing to go to bed, he passed by his daughter¡¯s bedroom and, seeing that the light was still on, he knocked on the door, ¡°Yueyue, aren¡¯t you asleep yet?¡±


    Qin Yue quickly replied, ¡°Not yet, Dad, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan pushed the door open and found Qin Yue still hunched over her computer working on something.


    He was momentarily speechless, ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Qin Yue hadn¡¯t had the chance to speak yet.


    Qin Xiaoyuan saw the material that Chen Cang had sent via WeChat.


    He instantly became furious!


    I can¡¯t bear to use my girl like this, and this kid is using her all the time!


    Outrageous!


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°Go to sleep early, you have work tomorrow.¡±


    After saying that, he had already resolved to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with Chen Cang¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    If you were to say that working in the emergency department was exhausting, Chen Cang would nod in agreement, but if you were to ask whether it was exciting or dull¡­


    Chen Cang would definitely shake his head!


    If you spend a year in the emergency department, you¡¯ll see all sorts of things, more than you¡¯d see in other places in three to five years.


    Some say hospitals are the biggest test of human nature, where good and evil are fully revealed, and the emergency department is no exception.


    Truthfully, there are more good people than bad, but bad people do exist.


    Like usual, Chen Cang arrived early at the emergency department to start his daily work, with An Yanjun, who was working the night shift, busily changing a patient¡¯s dressings.


    Chen Cang had just changed into his white coat and come out of the changing room.


    A man and a woman, both in their thirties, walked in.


    Neither of them acknowledged the other!


    It was as if there were a grudge of infidelity or a hatred for a third party.


    In any case, both looked thoroughly displeased with each other!


    At that moment, it was just seven o¡¯clock, and the outpatient clinic hadn¡¯t opened yet, which was usually when the emergency department was busiest.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, their eyes lit up, and they hurried over.


    ¡°Doctor!¡±


    ¡°Doctor!¡±


    The two called out in unison, catching Chen Cang¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Hmm!¡±


    ¡°Hmm!¡±


    Chen Cang responded twice.


    The two glanced at each other, and the woman looked at the man with contempt, ¡°Hmph! You go first! You scumbag!¡±


    The man became agitated upon hearing this, his eyes widening like marbles, ¡°Who are you calling a scumbag! I¡¯m a decent, upright man, who are you calling a scumbag, I haven¡¯t accused you of anything, do you have the nerve!¡±


    The woman¡¯s face turned an iron shade, her eyes blazing with anger, ¡°Okay, you¡¯ve gained some skills, but if you¡¯re so skilled, then don¡¯t catch a disease from messing around with women!¡±


    The man became instantly infuriated, ¡°When have I messed around with women, I, Mao Hao, may not be the most proper, but I¡¯d never do something to betray my wife! On the other hand¡­ Ah!¡±


    The man was so angry that his hands shook, pointing at the woman, trying to say something, but as a man, he truly couldn¡¯t bring himself to say it!


    He couldn¡¯t exactly say that his wife had cuckolded him, could he?


    The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, his face becoming red and his eyes bulging!


    He flung his hand and turned away!


    Seeing this, the woman also flew into a rage, ¡°What do you mean ¡®you¡¯? You do something wrong, infect me with a disease, and you still think you¡¯re right!¡±


    Their argument immediately drew the attention of the people around them.


    Meanwhile, it was the peak of the workday rush, and the emergency room was also quite busy. Observing the two of them cursing and swearing, the onlookers were quite entertained.


    The man, upon noticing this, pulled the woman into an office.


    Chen Cang was a bit confused and felt like it was a matter of who had cheated on whom.


    Once inside the office, Chen Cang figured that if he did not interrupt them, they would probably argue for quite a while.


    He simply looked at the man and asked, ¡°Hello, how can I help you?¡±


    The man, seeing how polite Chen Cang was, calmed down a bit and sighed before saying, ¡°Doctor, can you take a look at me and see what¡¯s wrong with me?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, where do you feel uncomfortable?¡±


    The man glanced around the office and saw many onlookers outside, and felt somewhat embarrassed.


    He hesitated and said, ¡°Is there a more private place? My problem is down below! Have a look¡­ what kind of STD is this¡­ can it be cured¡­¡±


    The man stuttered, clearly embarrassed.


    Chen Cang was taken aback, STDs weren¡¯t his specialty either!


    But¡­ he thought he should take a look first; maybe he could be of some help.


    After thinking for a moment, Chen Cang said, ¡°Follow me to the treatment room.¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang stood up and led the couple toward the treatment room.


    The couple looked at each other, each snorting coldly.


    After entering the treatment room, Chen Cang closed the door.


    He then asked the man, ¡°What exactly is making you uncomfortable? How long have you felt this way, and are there any specific symptoms?¡±


    The man said, ¡°I can¡¯t remember how long it¡¯s been, but it started with a little itch down there. I didn¡¯t pay attention at first, thinking it was just a bit damp. But recently, the symptoms got worse¡ªit became unbearable to scratch, and now even my buttocks and scrotum have started to turn red. Yesterday, after I showered and looked in the Mirror, I saw red spots! And this morning when I woke up, they had spread even more! There are also blisters, and some areas have even started to erode!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately became alarmed.


    Could it really be an STD?


    When the woman heard this, she became infuriated and said, ¡°You think it¡¯s just you? Don¡¯t I have it as well? I¡¯m too embarrassed to even mention it!¡±


    ¡°Doctor, lately I¡¯ve also been feeling an unbearable itch on the inside of my thighs and near my¡­ you know, so uncomfortable that it¡¯s tough to walk. And this morning, I also noticed patches of red spots and blisters!¡±


    ¡°It must be this good-for-nothing man going out with prostitutes, catching a disease, and then infecting me!¡±


    The woman pointed at her nose and cursed the man!


    Such an embarrassing disease, too shameful to speak of.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for her husband suddenly asking today, ¡°Are you sick?¡±


    She might not have exploded like this!


    Seeing the couple arguing again, Chen Cang immediately said, ¡°Alright, stop arguing for now, let¡¯s see what the problem is.¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang had the man lie down on the bed and take off his trousers.


    Chen Cang then saw the patches of red spots and some blisters, as well as what appeared to be erosions caused by scratching open the small blisters.


    But¡­


    This wasn¡¯t any STD!


    It was clearly ¡°tinea cruris,¡± just a severe case.


    The man was overweight, and it was easy for him to get humid in the summer, which can lead to tinea cruris.


    But that wasn¡¯t the key point!


    The key was that upon seeing the patches of red dots, Chen Cang suddenly saw a prompt in his eyes.


    [Tinea Cruris]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    He suddenly realized how powerful this pair of eyes was for diagnosing skin diseases.


    The bright red words [Tinea Cruris] were very clear.

 Chapter 311 - Chapter 311: Chapter 312: The Issue of Socks and Underwear!

    Chapter 311: Chapter 312: The Issue of Socks and Underwear!


    After learning the truth, Chen Cang felt relieved, wanting to laugh but afraid of being hit by the couple, so he could only cough.


    Indeed, it¡¯s really not that easy to distinguish between sexually transmitted diseases and tinea cruris, especially for laypeople.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh!


    However, this sigh scared the man and woman half to death!


    ¡°Doctor¡­ am I beyond saving?¡± the man asked, his eyes wide with fear.


    The woman was shaking with fright!


    ¡°Doctor¡­ is this AIDS?¡± the woman asked, close to tears.


    Chen Cang was startled and quickly shook his head!


    ¡°No, no! This isn¡¯t a sexually transmitted disease, this is a common skin condition called tinea cruris!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the couple looked at each other: ¡°Tinea cruris? What¡¯s that!¡±


    Although they didn¡¯t know what it was, just hearing that it wasn¡¯t a sexually transmitted disease instantly eased their anger by half.


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°Tinea cruris is a skin condition primarily caused by fungal infection, occurring often in the groin, inner thighs, and buttocks, areas that tend to be moist.¡±


    ¡°Now that it¡¯s summer, people who tend to sweat easily are more susceptible to this condition!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a sexually transmitted disease, nor is it dangerous, so there¡¯s no need to worry!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the woman was still a bit uneasy, ¡°Doctor¡­ can you check if I have tinea cruris too?¡±


    The woman sat on the bed, mimicking the man¡¯s posture, readying herself.


    Chen Cang saw the two red characters for ¡°tinea cruris.¡±


    He nodded and said, ¡°Yes, you also have tinea cruris, there¡¯s no need to worry.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief and dressed herself.


    After patiently explaining tinea cruris to the couple, Chen Cang looked at them.


    The couple, reassured by the explanation, also relaxed.


    The man turned to the woman, ¡°You see? It¡¯s not a sexually transmitted disease! Always imagining nonsense, am I that kind of person? Even if I were, do I have the money for it!¡± he said self-righteously.


    The woman, now angry, retorted, ¡°Now you think you¡¯re right? Who started blaming who first? You even accused me of cheating, how could you stoop so low! Have you no shame, speaking about your wife like that!¡±


    ¡°You talk about how you¡¯re unemployed and home all day, have I ever complained about you? Do I ever grumble about having to provide for the family, running around all day?¡±


    ¡°It would have been fine if you had just been uncomprehending, but you maligned me, accusing me of infidelity!¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you, if I were to cheat, I would have done it long ago, not waited until today!¡±


    After venting their frustrations, both of them cooled down.


    The man, feeling timid, refrained from speaking further, and the woman, seeing his demeanor, lost her desire to scold.


    The two sat in silence beside each other!


    The woman, suddenly curious, asked, ¡°Doctor, we¡¯ve been married for so many years and never had this disease before. How come it suddenly appeared?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°There are many reasons, but most are due to fungal infections, like using uncleanly disinfected towels and slippers in hotels, as well as swimming pools and public baths.¡±


    The woman sighed; she often went on business trips, so it was inevitable for her to use hotel towels and such.


    Unexpectedly, the disease was caused by her own actions.


    At this thought, the woman felt a sense of helplessness.


    Seeing this, the man consoled her, ¡°Wife, it¡¯s okay, didn¡¯t you hear the doctor? It¡¯s very common, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Honestly, in this month of being unemployed at home, he truly felt the hardships his wife usually endured.


    Washing clothes, cooking, tidying up, sending the children to school¡­


    In the hustle and bustle of the day, he couldn¡¯t accomplish anything.


    Thinking of this, and seeing his wife busy for the sake of their home, he felt heartache.


    ¡°Honey, you don¡¯t have to work so hard anymore, I¡¯ve almost found a job.¡±


    The woman, seeing the man like this, also felt a bit of compassion.


    ¡­


    Finally, the couple reconciled.


    Chen Cang said, ¡°I¡¯m about to start work at the dermatology department, go see a dermatologist and apply some medicine.¡±


    The husband and wife nodded in agreement, just when Chen Cang suddenly noticed the man¡¯s feet in flip-flops.


    Suddenly two red characters appeared in his field of vision!


    [Athlete¡¯s Foot]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    Could the cause of the illness be here?


    [Athlete¡¯s Foot], perhaps not well understood by everyone, also goes by another name, Tinea pedis!


    It¡¯s a common, contagious skin disease, mainly caused by fungal infections.


    It often causes itching, peeling, exudation, and skin redness, among other symptoms.


    Chen Cang felt that he had grasped the cause of the disease!


    That is, many cases of Tinea cruris have a history of Athlete¡¯s Foot, and more than half are spread from Athlete¡¯s Foot.


    Chen Cang was about to speak.


    He heard the couple muttering, ¡°Hurry up and go to work, look at the state of our home, clothes are being washed haphazardly, you even threw my silk clothes in the washing machine! It¡¯s infuriating!¡±


    The man gave an awkward smile, ¡°It¡¯s just too much trouble, honey. You don¡¯t need to go on business trips anymore, so tiring and staying in hotels isn¡¯t good for your health.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the woman gave the man a sharp look, ¡°You think I want to? Also, the way you always stuff your clothes and socks in the wash together, what were you thinking?¡±


    Chen Cang keenly picked up on this point and interrupted them.


    ¡°Excuse me for interrupting, sir, you have Athlete¡¯s Foot, or Tinea pedis. If you wash your underwear and socks together, and if they are not thoroughly cleaned and sufficiently sterilized during the washing process, it¡¯s very likely that the Athlete¡¯s Foot can spread through your clothes and underwear and turn into Tinea cruris!¡±


    This statement once again aggravated the couple¡¯s conflict!


    The woman thought it was her fault, but now that she heard it was the man¡¯s fault,


    she became even more angry!


    ¡°Did you wash my underwear with your socks!¡±


    The man gave another awkward smile and ran outside!


    Seeing this, the woman, both angry and cursing, followed him out.


    Chen Cang chuckled, this couple¡­ really were something else.


    However¡­


    The question of whether underwear and socks can be washed together.


    Can actually be explained.


    If there are no various diseases, they can be washed together, but they must be cleaned thoroughly, ensuring that sterilization is carried out. In this way, there should be no impact.


    But if you already have Athlete¡¯s Foot, it is not recommended to wash them together, and even flip-flops are best not shared.


    Busy all morning, Chen Cang stepped out of the treatment room.


    By this time, it was almost eight o¡¯clock, about time to start the shift change, and Chen Cang went in as well.


    ps: Today, there are only three updates, sorry everyone. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to write, but because I have training all day on the 30th.


    There was originally a gathering tonight, but because I came back early to write, I was very upset¡­


    Alas, I realized I¡¯m really just a small fry, there are too many big shots, and my mentality almost exploded.


    Time to adjust promptly, work hard and strive to become a somewhat impressive person myself!


    Keep it up, old-timer!

 Chapter 312 - Chapter 312: Chapter 313: Meng Xis Test

    Chapter 312: Chapter 313: Meng Xi¡¯s Test


    Dongda First Hospital¡¯s Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery.


    9:12 PM.


    Through the window, one could see the bustling city.


    Chen Cang had just returned to the doctors¡¯ office with Ge Huai and Meng Xi from the operating room; they had been at it since past six in the evening. Ge Huai had assisted Meng Xi with two operations, or more precisely, Ge Huai had helped Meng Xi perform two surgeries. As for Chen Cang¡­ Chen Cang couldn¡¯t even be considered an assistant, at best, he was a pair of helping eyes.


    Chen Cang realized that the more he was involved in a surgery, the more likely he was to ¡°learn¡± the skills of the chief surgeon.


    It¡¯s not called stealing; it¡¯s called learning.


    A five percent chance might seem high, but Chen Cang had pondered for a long time and concluded that this percentage could change.


    If you were highly involved and committed wholeheartedly to the surgery, putting in a lot of effort, then you had a great chance of acquiring the surgery skills, just like the time with the phalangeal fracture operation.


    But this kind of eye assistance was really annoying, and the chances of gaining any skill were way too low.


    The truth is Chen Cang did want to get hands-on; he very much wanted to¡­


    But the root of the problem was mainly the distrust from Meng Xi and Ge Huai.


    After all, as a student who had just arrived a few days ago, it wasn¡¯t very likely you would get to perform surgery right away; everything needs a gradual process.


    This made Chen Cang feel rather helpless, for if he didn¡¯t get hands-on, he had no way to learn the surgery; simply watching¡­ you couldn¡¯t learn a damn thing.


    Surgeries, surgeries! Without hands-on experience, how can one learn the techniques!


    And he couldn¡¯t improve his favorability!


    His favorability was stuck at 20 and couldn¡¯t be raised.


    Chen Cang felt lost; with such skills relying entirely on favorability, what could he do with a mere 20 points in favorability?


    In a specialized department like cardiothoracic surgery, starting with level two surgeries, most were already level three surgeries. Level one surgeries¡­ that was just absurd!


    Chen Cang felt increasingly like he was being deceived by life.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The three sat in the doctors¡¯ office, Ge Huai excitedly discussed the recent surgery with Meng Xi, who listened, rarely spoke, occasionally nodding or providing a brief comment.


    And¡­ Chen Cang¡¯s participation was minimal, his presence barely noticed¡­


    The so-called ¡°if you don¡¯t know, don¡¯t BS,¡± and Chen Cang perfectly embodied this principle.


    Seeing that the operations were done and it was getting late, Chen Cang estimated it was time to leave.


    Just as Chen Cang was about to leave, the phone in the doctors¡¯ office rang. Before Ge Huai could answer, the calling had stopped; the nurse station must have picked it up already.


    The doctors¡¯ office phone was connected to the nurses¡¯ station.


    A minute later, a nurse walked in, glanced around the office, spotted Meng Xi and others, and curiously asked, ¡°Director Meng, who¡¯s on call today?¡±


    Meng Xi shook his head looking at Ge Huai, ¡°Dr. Ge, who¡¯s on duty today?¡±


    Ge Huai hastily walked over to the duty roster and checked, ¡°Today is Dr. Yao¡¯s turn; maybe he went to change some dressings.¡±


    Meng Xi shook his head, ¡°No need.¡±


    After that, Meng Xi looked at the nurse, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Xiao Li?¡±


    Nurse Xiao Li said, ¡°An emergency patient was just brought in, experiencing chest pain, suspected to be a heart issue. They asked for our department¡¯s doctor to consult.¡±


    Meng Xi stood up and headed outside, ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and quickly followed Meng Xi outside.


    Ge Huai also followed Chen Cang downstairs.


    At the emergency department, when the nurse saw Meng Xi, she quickly said, ¡°Director Meng, you¡¯re here, the patient is now in the resuscitation room.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded and walked inside.


    When the on-duty doctor saw Meng Xi arrive, his eyes lit up. This female doctor with a Ph.D. was now a rising star at the First Hospital of Dong University.


    Not to mention the halo of her world-renowned university background.


    Since her arrival at the hospital, Meng Xi¡¯s decisive action, rigorous work ethic, precise diagnoses, and surgery skills that could be called masterful had already won over the majority.


    She wasn¡¯t only talented but also beautiful, and yet she worked so hard and was highly capable.


    How could such a person not be popular?


    The doctor in the emergency department, Wu Peng, directly said, ¡°Director Meng, you haven¡¯t finished your shift yet!¡±


    Meng Xi did not respond to this small talk but got straight to the point, ¡°What¡¯s the patient¡¯s condition?¡±


    Wu Peng was taken aback and quickly responded, ¡°The patient is male, 51 years old. He suddenly experienced squeezing chest pain in the front area three days ago! The pain was significant behind the sternum, with typical radiating and referential pain to the neck and back, predominantly sharp pain. He didn¡¯t take it seriously until today when the pain worsened¡­ it looks a bit like a myocardial infarction!¡±


    Such symptoms obviously suggested steering the diagnosis toward acute myocardial ischemia, much like angina pectoris or myocardial infarction seen in coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.


    Meng Xi walked straight to the patient¡¯s side and examined the cardiac monitor before approaching the man, seeing that he was conscious.


    ¡°Has an electrocardiogram (ECG) been done?¡±


    Wu Peng hurriedly handed over the ECG, ¡°Here it is, it doesn¡¯t look like a myocardial infarction.¡±


    ¡°Before coming here, the patient had taken oral nitroglycerin, but the effect was mediocre. The chest pain hasn¡¯t subsided.¡±


    Wu Peng wasn¡¯t specialized in cardiology, he could recognize and distinguish some emergent ECG patterns, but he couldn¡¯t accurately discern special abnormal ECGs, or even more common ones.


    Meng Xi took the ECG, slightly frowned, nothing was typical yet¡­ but something was wrong!


    Meng Xi suddenly noticed a detail, the deviation of the P-R segment.


    This was a critical distinction from myocardial infarction and early repolarization syndrome!


    Could it be¡­ acute myocarditis?


    Upon a careful look, there were no abnormal Q waves; the ratio between ST and T was roughly one-quarter.


    Onset of symptoms several days ago¡­


    All clues were pointing to one answer!


    It could be acute pericarditis.


    Thinking this, Meng Xi took off her stethoscope from her neck, put it on, and listened to the patient¡¯s precordial area.


    Pericardial friction rub¡­


    Indeed, there it was!


    With the rises and falls of respiration and the constant heartbeat, Meng Xi heard the slow sound of pericardial friction.


    It was most likely pericarditis.


    Considering this, Meng Xi looked at Wu Peng, ¡°I suspect pericarditis right now, but we can¡¯t rule out myocardial infarction. Has the patient had his cardiac enzymes checked?¡±


    On hearing myocarditis, Wu Peng immediately reacted, ¡°Cardiac enzymes were checked as soon as he arrived at the hospital, nothing wrong.¡±


    At that moment, the patient suddenly said, ¡°Doctor, I feel some tightness in my chest, and it¡¯s a bit difficult to breathe out.¡±


    Meng Xi slightly frowned, ¡°Bring a bedside ultrasound, let¡¯s see if there¡¯s any effusion.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wu Peng nodded quickly and hurried to arrange the consultation.


    At this time, Meng Xi suddenly turned and stared intently at Chen Cang, ¡°Didn¡¯t you spend time in the emergency department? Can you identify acute myocarditis?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback: Who is she looking down on?


    [Ding! Triggered Meng Xi¡¯s challenge, first round, analyze the condition!]

 Chapter 313 - Chapter 313: Chapter 314: Chain Quests

    Chapter 313: Chapter 314: Chain Quests


    ¡°`


    As the system notification sounded, Chen Cang eagerly yet discreetly accepted the task, giving Meng Xi a calm look.


    ¡°Not bad.¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s eyebrows lifted as he handed over the electrocardiogram, ¡°Here, you analyze the patient¡¯s condition.¡±


    The First Hospital of Dongyang Medical University is not at the same level as the Second Provincial Hospital; it has many students, both interns and resident trainees, all abound!


    And the emergency department is a special required rotation, which is why several curious onlookers were watching Chen Cang at the moment.


    Chen Cang took the electrocardiogram and glanced at it once, just once, and then walked straight over to the patient, placed the stethoscope from around his neck to the patient¡¯s chest and listened for a while before asking the patient, ¡°Uncle, how long have you felt tightness and suffocation in your chest?¡±


    The man cooperated, relieved it wasn¡¯t a heart attack.


    ¡°Three days now, it felt odd out of nowhere, just after I attended a colleague¡¯s son¡¯s wedding. I caught a cold when I got back, had a bit of a fever, took some medicine, and the next day I felt a vague discomfort in my chest, a little chest pain. Still a bit feverish, I thought it was a cold from tiredness, so I didn¡¯t pay much attention.¡±


    ¡°But¡­ today, it suddenly got worse. I was worried it was a heart attack, so I came in. It¡¯s chest pain, tightness, and now even breathing feels a bit labored.¡±


    After listening, Chen Cang said, ¡°Lie down, I¡¯ll percuss you.¡±


    The man cooperated and lay on the bed while Chen Cang started to percuss, asking if it hurt as he went along.


    Two minutes later, Chen Cang finished percussing the precordial area and instructed, ¡°Take a deep breath¡­ yes, inhale¡­ exhale¡­¡±


    Suddenly, the man cried out in pain, ¡°Ouch, ouch, it hurts!¡±


    After a short pause, he slowly said, ¡°I can¡¯t, I can¡¯t, it hurts when I inhale!¡±


    Chen Cang asked the interns nearby, ¡°Where are the lab results, the complete blood count, the cardiac enzymes?¡±


    The resident trainee hesitated for a moment but then looked at Chen Cang with the same respect one would have for a teacher and quickly handed them over.


    ¡°Here, teacher!¡±


    Chen Cang, not focusing on these details, opened them and looked carefully.


    After looking at the chest x-ray, he seemed to understand everything at a glance.


    As a doctor, the most important task is diagnosis, and now Chen Cang¡¯s interpretation of chest images was perfect, electrocardiography perfect, clinical reading of physiological and biochemical test indicators perfect!


    At that moment, probably no one knew the patient¡¯s condition better than Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang stated decisively, ¡°The patient has an acute onset, accompanied by fever, chills, chest pain, breathing difficulties, and a clear pericardial friction rub. The complete blood count shows an increased white blood cell count with a left shift. The ECG shows significant changes in the ST segment and T waves. I looked at the chest x-ray, and the x-ray results show the heart¡¯s normal outline disappeared, and the pulsations are faint.¡±


    ¡°So, I am ninety percent certain the patient has acute bacterial pericarditis, and there might even be purulent fluid in the heart. I felt this when I was percussing, due to the change in the dullness area.¡±


    ¡°The rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, these are signs of cardiac tamponade!¡±


    His words left everyone stunned!


    Logical and well-founded!


    Every sentence made perfect sense!


    And most importantly, every student present could understand. Chen Cang¡¯s explanations were simple and easy to grasp, and each conclusion was substantiated.


    Listening felt like unraveling a mystery, with each clue pointing to a reason that led to a certain outcome.


    Surrounded by the group of medical students, one couldn¡¯t help wanting to applaud!


    So awesome!


    Big boss is a pro!


    A group of medical students really felt their blood surge with excitement.


    Is Meng Xi awesome?


    ¡°`


    Absolutely awesome!


    He figured out it was acute pericarditis in just a few moments.


    But everyone would just think it¡¯s badass.


    However, Chen Cang is different. He explains everything so thoroughly that students can actually learn something.


    Clinical knowledge is just like that.


    In fact, what this group of students didn¡¯t know was that Meng Xi had done this on purpose.


    After Chen Cang finished speaking, Ge Huai was also slightly taken aback. He could also tell it was pericarditis, but¡­ perhaps not as clearly diagnosed as by Chen Cang.


    But!


    Ge Huai felt that Chen Cang could do this because Meng Xi had already mentioned it was pericarditis, and since Chen Cang was a student with a strong memory of book knowledge, he could articulate it well. It was the same as with suturing; he was a bit faster than Ge Huai, but¡­ not as tight in his stitching.


    Meng Xi was very satisfied with Chen Cang¡¯s performance just now. Chen Cang had used all the diagnostic methods for acute pericarditis flawlessly, not missing a single one!


    He even mentioned the possibility of cardioc tamponade in bacterial acute pericarditis.


    The surrounding students looked at Chen Cang with eyes full of admiration!


    However, Meng Xi suddenly asked, ¡°What do you think should be done to treat the patient now?¡±


    Chen Cang had been cramming basic knowledge recently and was very solid in theoretical knowledge.


    ¡°Firstly, the first step is to relieve the cardiac tamponade. The patient now has a lot of fluid in the pericardial cavity; the first thing to do should be a pericardial puncture to drain the fluid.¡±


    ¡°At the same time, test the nature of the pericardial effusion and conduct blood cultures to find the pathogen, then use antibiotics sensitive to the pathogen.¡±


    ¡°Finally, if relief is not possible, perform pericardiotomy!¡±


    Meng Xi didn¡¯t shower Chen Cang with excessive praise but simply asked, ¡°Do you think you¡¯d succeed if you did the puncture?¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up. So, it was a sequential task. What would the final part be?


    ¡°I can do it!¡±


    At this moment, the emergency department doctor Wu Peng returned, accompanied by the ultrasound department doctor pushing a cart inside.


    ¡°Director Meng, here we come!¡± Wu Peng said hurriedly.


    The ultrasound doctor, often dealing with the cardiology department and having a good relationship with Meng Xi, knew Meng Xi¡¯s personality.


    So upon seeing Meng Xi, he didn¡¯t dawdle but nodded and asked, ¡°Director Meng, what¡¯s the situation with the patient?¡±


    Meng Xi replied, ¡°I suspect bacterial acute pericarditis, and the patient shows signs of cardiac tamponade.¡±


    The ultrasound doctor¡¯s expression changed slightly upon hearing that. Cardiac tamponade?


    This condition was no joke!


    With this in mind, he quickly began the procedure.


    The ultrasound was indeed very effective for this examination.


    Soon enough, the results were in!


    There was a significant amount of fluid in the pericardial cavity, already compressing the lungs and bronchi, causing a certain impact on breathing, and there was some compression on the heart as well.


    Under echocardiography, the heart¡¯s ejection fraction was already starting to drop.


    The ultrasound doctor frowned. ¡°Director Meng, we need to puncture as soon as possible!¡±


    Meng Xi nodded: ¡°Chen, you go ahead!¡±

 Chapter 314 - Chapter 314: Chapter 315: The First Surgery

    Chapter 314: Chapter 315: The First Surgery


    Hearing Meng Xi¡¯s words, Ge Huai was startled!


    He thought Meng Xi was joking!


    Unexpectedly¡­ she was serious.


    Heart sac puncture, huh?


    This is not the same as a thoracic puncture.


    He had only been there for a few days, hadn¡¯t operated once, and now he was being asked to perform a heart sac puncture, which was clearly a bit too¡­


    However, Ge Huai suddenly thought that Meng Xi was just asking.


    Chen Cang might not even know how!


    Even if he did, Ge Huai estimated that Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t dare, after all¡­


    ¡°I can do it.¡±


    A plain and indifferent remark from Chen Cang directly interrupted Ge Huai¡¯s conjecture.


    Ge Huai was frightened so much he shuddered.


    What the fuck?


    You can do it again!


    If this was the expression on Ge Huai¡¯s face.


    Then, Wu Peng beside him was utterly confused.


    He glanced at Chen Cang¡¯s clothing, which was clearly the white coat worn by resident trainees, this wasn¡¯t a joke.


    With this in mind, Wu Peng awkwardly said, ¡°Director Meng, this is no joke, emergency surgery is serious, and I¡¯m the first to disagree with letting this student do it.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t that Wu Peng looked down on Chen Cang, but in the end, it was about being responsible for the patient.


    So, no matter how you look at it, no matter the stance or approach, it was correct!


    But Meng Xi was silent for a moment, looked at the ultrasound machine¡¯s screen, and said to Wu Peng, ¡°Hmm, I understand Dr. Wu¡¯s concerns, but¡­ the patient likely has acute bacterial pericarditis, staying in emergency is pointless, transfer to cardiothoracic.¡±


    After hearing this, Wu Peng was momentarily stunned, it seemed¡­ there wasn¡¯t a problem.


    This patient was no longer his responsibility.


    ¡°Alright, alright, then I¡¯ll leave the trouble and hard work to Director Meng and Dr. Ge, take good care.¡±


    Meng Xi turned and glanced at Ge Huai, ¡°Dr. Ge, you go with Dr. Wu to handle the paperwork, make it quick, I¡¯m going up with Chen Cang right away for the puncture!¡±


    Ge Huai was even more dumbfounded, weren¡¯t the students supposed to do the paperwork?


    Wasn¡¯t the doctor supposed to do the puncture?


    What¡¯s going on here¡­ how is this mixed up?


    But there was no way out, Director Meng was his direct BOSS, it was best to just obey.


    Ge Huai hurriedly began to handle the transfer with Wu Peng.


    Patient transfers from the emergency department were quite straightforward and fast, unlike the hassle it was with other departments.


    There wasn¡¯t much difference in the treatment process, the only change being that the patient and the ultrasound doctor had changed locations, while Chen Cang officially performed the heart sac puncture.


    Ge Huai ran back and forth, busily finishing the task, then hurried to the ward to watch Chen Cang perform the puncture.


    Just as he entered, he heard Chen Cang say, ¡°Perfect, Teacher Ge, help me with the aspiration later, I appreciate it.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ge Huai¡¯s face changed instantly¡­


    Fuck¡­ who exactly is the student and who is the teacher!


    But if he didn¡¯t help, was he going to let Director Meng do the aspiration?


    With that thought, Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Forget it, forget it!


    I¡¯ll endure it!


    The grown-up doesn¡¯t dwell on petty grievances.


    This time, due to real-time echocardiographic positioning and cardiac monitoring, the safety factor was significantly increased.


    In the training space, Chen Cang had practiced this procedure countless times under such conditions, it was basically routine for him.


    However, to avoid vagal-induced hypotensive reactions, Chen Cang looked at Ge Huai and said, ¡°Atropine.¡±


    Ge Huai blinked.


    Chen Cang: ¡°Atropine.¡±


    Just as Ge Huai was about to ask why, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately realized.


    This Chen Cang¡­ not bad at all, quite skilled!


    Chen Cang began the standard procedure of laying out the drapes¡­ disinfecting¡­ anesthetizing¡­


    Chen Cang held the puncture needle, and at the exact point where the xiphoid process meets the left costal margin, he aimed the needle upwards, hugging the backside of the sternum, and slowly advanced.


    The needle advanced slowly, and Chen Cang felt the sensation!


    It¡¯s in place!


    The entire process was quick; after all, he had done it countless times, so his movements were fluent and smooth, leaving even the ultrasound doctor beside him agape with astonishment.


    Afterward, he said, ¡°Teacher Ge, it¡¯s ready.¡±


    Ge Huai seemed to have not yet reacted, after all, how many seconds had passed since the last sentence? Is it done already?


    Young man, can you not be so rash? In medical work, can you not be a bit more serious?


    ¡°That quick?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Start drawing.¡±


    As Ge Huai began to draw out the fluid, he immediately sensed it.


    It has to be said that compared to the ambulance driver, Old Liu, Doctor Ge was much more professional, withdrawing the liquid slowly and methodically.


    It wasn¡¯t long before the fluid extraction was complete.


    Then he seamlessly injected some antibiotics into the pericardial cavity.


    Soon after, the patient¡¯s symptoms mostly stabilized.


    However, this didn¡¯t mean the surgery was over.


    They had only alleviated the patient¡¯s symptoms, ensuring his vital signs were stable; the next steps were the important part.


    Identify the nature of the pericardial effusion and complete the surgery as soon as possible.


    After all, the pathological changes of acute pericarditis early on manifest as inflammatory responses in both the visceral and parietal layers of the pericardium, with the presence of a viscous liquid composed of fibrin deposition and polymorphonuclear leukocyte accumulation, known as fibrinous or dry pericarditis.


    The inflammatory response often extends to the myocardium beneath the pericardium, and in a few severe cases, it may affect the deeper myocardium, known as myopericarditis.


    After pericarditis heals, small plaques may remain, or there may be varying degrees of adhesions. If the inflammation spreads to the outer surface of the parietal layer of the pericardium, adhesions can form between the heart and the nearby tissues¡ªpleura, mediastinum, and diaphragm.


    Therefore, the treatment of this kind of acute pericarditis should be conducted promptly.


    And once bacterial pericarditis is diagnosed, the general procedure is to initiate surgery as quickly as possible.


    Now blood cultures are needed, as well as an analysis of the fluid¡¯s characteristics.


    That can only wait until tomorrow.


    Meng Xi said, ¡°Hmm, well extracted! Do you do this often?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°Yes, often in emergency cases.


    Meng Xi suddenly commented thoughtfully, ¡°Then can you perform a pericardiotomy?¡±


    [Ding! You have completed Meng Xi¡¯s mentorship challenge, the second step, earning a favorability increase of +5 and triggering the third stage task, perform a pericardiotomy.]


    Chen Cang hesitated, after all, like that pericardiocentesis, he was skilled, even at a master level, which is why he said it was possible.


    But pericardiotomy¡­ he was far from confident about that.


    He wasn¡¯t sure.


    Could he do it?


    Perhaps he could.


    With the aid of the system and Director Tao Zi¡¯s explanations, Chen Cang had acquired the theoretical knowledge for pericardiotomy.


    But what he lacked was practice.


    And the previous task, to complete five pericardial surgeries, would allow him to advance his skill level to advanced.


    Thus, Chen Cang bit the bullet and candidly said, ¡°Teacher Meng, I¡¯d like to try, but¡­ I can¡¯t guarantee the surgery will go smoothly since I¡¯ve never attempted one, although I¡¯ve observed many.¡±


    Meng Xi was caught off guard for a moment but then smiled and nodded, ¡°Good, you¡¯ll lead the operation tomorrow.¡±


    After speaking, Meng Xi skillfully took off his white coat, tidying up as he said, ¡°I¡¯ll watch you perform it.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.


    Actually, Teacher Meng was quite good to him.


    Ge Huai on the side wanted to speak but held back.


    Observing the interaction between the two, he suddenly had a realization and understood!


    Right!


    Opposing Chen Cang was just inviting trouble for himself, wasn¡¯t it?


    After all, Chen Cang was the disciple of his boss, the chief disciple at that, and such a relationship between mentor and prot¨¦g¨¦ was very profound.


    Meng Xi would certainly focus on nurturing Chen Cang.


    To put it plainly, they were on the same side, and challenging Chen Cang was essentially challenging Director Meng, and it was possible that both would team up against him.


    Having thought it through, Ge Huai suddenly felt that he should be more open-minded and magnanimous, behaving more like a teacher.


    ¡­


    PS: Posting three updates first, thank you everyone, there will be an additional stand-alone chapter later.

 Chapter 315 - Chapter 315: Chapter 316: Scheming BOY!

    Chapter 315: Chapter 316: Scheming BOY!


    ¡°Chen Cang, come over right after you get off work at noon! Take a taxi!¡±


    At eleven in the morning, Chen Cang received a call from Meng Xi.


    Just out of the operating room, Chen Cang immediately nodded in agreement before asking, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Teacher Meng?¡±


    Meng Xi said, ¡°The culture results of yesterday¡¯s patient came back. It¡¯s a pneumococcal infection that has turned into staphylococcus, likely due to direct infection spread within the chest.¡±


    Chen Cang let out a sigh of relief. Now that the infection had been identified so quickly, the next step was simple: to treat it with targeted antibiotics.


    Such symptomatic treatment was indeed the most appropriate measure.


    After saying this, Meng Xi added, ¡°There¡¯s pus in the culture of the pericardial effusion.¡±


    Chen Cang responded with an ¡°Oh,¡± but then suddenly felt stunned!


    ¡°Purulent fluid in the pericardial effusion?¡±


    Damn it!


    Chen Cang got nervous immediately.


    Thinking of the casual way Meng Xi had just stated that fact, Chen Cang nearly choked on his saliva.


    After all, to mention such a critical issue so nonchalantly, probably only Meng Xi could pull that off, right?


    Because neither systemic antibiotic treatment nor pericardial injections of antibiotics could prevent the formation of pus within the cavity!


    Even the massive accumulation of pericardial effusion could lead to cardiac tamponade, or the formation of constrictive pericarditis due to the enclosure of purulent effusion.


    Therefore, as soon as pus was confirmed, an immediate pericardiectomy should be performed for debridement and then to prevent drainage tubes.


    Chen Cang¡¯s understanding of the theoretical knowledge had been spot-on these days, with every surgical risk crystal clear.


    So, with this in mind, Chen Cang felt an inexplicable nervousness: ¡°Maybe¡­ Teacher Meng, you should perform the surgery quickly?¡±


    Meng Xi paused slightly and said faintly, ¡°What¡¯s the panic?¡±


    With a light ¡°What¡¯s the panic,¡± Chen Cang was immediately dumbfounded, and when he checked the phone again, the call had already been disconnected.


    Chen Cang was somewhat speechless¡­


    This ¡°What¡¯s the panic¡± made Chen Cang feel like he was completely out of his depth in the field of cardiac surgery.


    Why do I say that?


    The growth of any clinical doctor goes through three stages.


    The first stage is that of a medical greenhorn, confused by everything, not understanding the severity or urgency of situations, or even unable to discern their seriousness!


    The second stage is that of a theory fanatic, with a command over theoretical knowledge. Those who excel at this stage can recite theory fluently and comprehend the dangers of diseases deeply, feeling anxious about everything, always sensing the gravity of the situation.


    The third stage is that of an experienced clinician, with years of clinical experience and a firm grasp on various data, they have a clear understanding of patients¡¯ conditions and statuses, and a high degree of mastery over diseases.


    While Chen Cang was not a novice in the field of cardiac surgery, knowing nothing at all,


    he was merely at the second stage, anxious about everything he encountered, always perceiving danger in every situation.


    In fact, it was not Chen Cang¡¯s fault, because bacterial pericarditis is usually an acute and explosive illness, with precursor symptoms averaging only three days!


    The symptoms are also very obvious, with high fever, chills, systemic toxicity, and dyspnea commonly present. Most patients do not experience the typical chest pain, and the occurrence of chest pain might indicate an escalation in the severity of the condition, making the disease more dangerous.


    And as Meng Xi mentioned, the physiological and biochemical findings, as well as the presence of purulent pericardial effusion, meant that the level of crisis had risen.


    Because purulent pericardial effusion can develop into constrictive pericarditis!


    The risks of constrictive pericarditis are significantly increased!


    This condition is by no means beneficial to the patient¡¯s recovery!


    Even the surgery for constrictive pericarditis is much more difficult than ordinary pericardial surgery, and thinking of this, Chen Cang still felt nervous.


    Most importantly, he could not allow Teacher Meng to wait for him and delay the patient¡¯s condition.


    He felt that Teacher Meng was actually waiting for him, and the more he felt that way, the more worried Chen Cang became.


    Chen Cang was very grateful for this kindness.


    Actually¡­


    No matter how carefree Meng Xi might have been, she would never delay a patient¡¯s optimal treatment time. The reason she had made such an arrangement was that she was very familiar with the patient¡¯s various indicators and had a clear understanding of the disease¡¯s progression.


    That¡¯s why she could speak to Chen Cang with such certainty!


    To put it plainly, a doctor¡¯s judgment of a disease is usually the result of their own experience.


    Meng Xi was confident, but Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t dare be so self-assured.


    A junior doctor should have the awareness of a junior doctor, and a newbie should play by the rules of the newbie village.


    At the moment, with nothing much going on in the hospital, Chen Cang said goodbye and took off!


    Ever since Yuan Fan left, the department had quieted down quite a bit, and Chen Cang had become increasingly unrestrained.


    After all, under his relentless boba tea offensive, Qin Yue had already become a proper simp.


    Director An was now being tormented to death and brought back to life by his own ¡°Chen¡±.


    Wang Yong, as his junior apprentice, was diligently cultivating and working hard.


    In the department, Chen Cang felt like he was the boss now!


    Hmm, perhaps he should be called Brother Chen!


    ¡­


    Taking a taxi to Dongda First Hospital cost only the starting fare of eight yuan.


    Upon hastily arriving at the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, Meng Xi was just preparing the medical records at the nurse¡¯s station.


    Chen Cang hurried over, ¡°Thank you, Teacher Meng, for waiting!¡±


    Meng Xi was slightly startled, then looked at her watch, ¡°You¡¯re early.¡±


    After saying that, she handed the surgical consent forms and other documents to Chen Cang:


    ¡°All the consent forms have been signed, let¡¯s start the surgery as soon as possible.¡±


    Chen Cang offered a grateful smile.


    Although Teacher Meng was strict and worked tirelessly day and night, letting students come after work to follow the surgeries,


    ordinary students would certainly have their complaints.


    But Chen Cang understood that he was here to learn skills. If the teacher wasn¡¯t complaining, what right did he have to complain?


    When Ge Huai saw Chen Cang arrive, he surprisingly smiled, ¡°Little Chen, don¡¯t be nervous, I¡¯m here for you.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled; had Teacher Ge¡­ changed his nature?


    He was showing so much care and concern.


    Chen Cang quickly responded, ¡°Thank you, Teacher Ge, for your help today.¡±


    Ge Huai shook his head, ¡°Starting is always the hardest part. Learn more, do it a few more times, and you¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    After everyone was ready, they entered the thousand-handled operating room.


    On the way there, Meng Xi emphasized the importance of the pericardiotomy drainage surgery to Chen Cang.


    As they talked, Chen Cang and the other two entered the operating room.


    Meng Xi was actually very curious about Chen Cang. Although she hardly let Chen Cang perform surgeries, every time he did partake, he stood out.


    Especially his diagnostic skills, which twice had impressed Meng Xi, and his surgical abilities were formidable. Whether it was vascular suturing technique or pericardiocentesis, his operations¡­ were hard to achieve without decades of experience!


    So, although Meng Xi didn¡¯t say it out loud, she was well aware of Chen Cang¡¯s talents.


    She also wanted to see how Chen Cang would perform in surgery.

 Chapter 316 - Chapter 316: Chapter 317: Is Your Hand Numb or Did It Slip?

    Chapter 316: Chapter 317: Is Your Hand Numb or Did It Slip?


    Meng Xi had always held one attitude towards her students:


    Quality over quantity.


    Meng Xi was proud, a pride that was ingrained in her bones.


    Her pride did not make her look down on the people around her or look down on the First Hospital of Dongda University. On the contrary, her pride was actually toward herself, toward disease, toward surgery.


    She set extremely high standards for herself!


    She hoped to continuously improve herself, to become better and better, to make her medical skills increasingly exquisite, and so on.


    Although she was at the First Hospital of Dongda University, Meng Xi¡¯s gaze was always fixed on somewhere in Kyoto and on some places across the ocean.


    Her opponents were not here; they were far away.


    Was there a lot of pressure?


    Immense!


    Therefore, she did not allow herself to relax!


    Chen Cang¡¯s appearance was not an accident, but his performance was indeed sudden.


    Time and again, he impressed her, giving Meng Xi hope time after time.


    Even if she could not surpass them, maybe her students could surpass their students, right?


    Thinking about this, Meng Xi quickly shook her head, discarding such negative thoughts.


    Those were her opponents; she had to prove herself with her own strength, not through others.


    At this thought, Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but search her soul: Were you scared? Regretful?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s surgery was about to begin. The instrument nurse looked at Chen Cang, slightly stunned. How could they let a student perform surgery?


    Even the anesthesiologist was somewhat puzzled. He glanced at Meng Xi and, seeing she was unmoved, then turned to gaze at Ge Huai, who also seemed indifferent.


    The anesthesiologist simply didn¡¯t pay it any more attention and didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    With a senior attending physician and a deputy chief present, nothing should go wrong with a pericardial surgery, right?


    At this time, Xia Gaofeng had just finished a grueling surgery last night, a Tetralogy of Fallot operation. When he came out, he saw through the operating room door that a surgery was in progress¡­ and it was Chen Cang?


    Was Chen Cang the lead surgeon?


    Xia Gaofeng¡¯s interest was immediately piqued; after all, this was the man he had his eyes on!


    Xia Gaofeng entered the room quietly; he too wanted to see how Chen Cang¡¯s surgery was going.


    This young man had given him many surprises; his vascular suturing technique was faster than even Ge Huai¡¯s, and it was both fast and good!


    The level was definitely adequate.


    But¡­ what exactly was Chen Cang performing now?


    Xia Gaofeng slowly made his way over.


    At the moment Chen Cang picked up the scalpel, there was not the slightest sign of stage fright. Though he had never done it before, the benefits of the teaching model had made him the theoretical King.


    He clearly remembered every step of the surgery, every little detail within the operation.


    He had every move down pat!


    Chen Cang took up the knife and began to slowly make an incision 2 cm below the xiphoid process in the upper abdomen, creating a horizontal skin incision 4 to 5 centimeters long.


    For this first step, Chen Cang gave himself a full score!


    An incision was simple; this was the foundation of extrathoracic surgery. Mastering hemostasis in a thoracic opening ¨C are you kidding?


    This incision made the two directors and one attending physician around him take a slight shock.


    Ge Huai originally intended to form a united front with Chen Cang and then ingratiate himself with Director Meng through a roundabout way.


    But at this moment, he couldn¡¯t help himself!


    This guy has cheated me!


    He said he didn¡¯t know how to do it, but this incision was even better than mine.


    Alright, endure it. Isn¡¯t it just better than my work?


    Isn¡¯t it just a well-made incision?


    I¡¯ll just bear with it, given that I just made a friendly gesture today; I can¡¯t spoil everything!


    Having thought that, Ge Huai still feigned enthusiasm and said with false warmth, ¡°Chen Cang, did you not say that it was your first time performing pericardial incision surgery? You¡¯re too modest!¡±


    When Chen Cang was operating, he was very focused and didn¡¯t like to entertain people, which was also why he liked working with Jing Ran.


    Jing Ran was obedient and sensible, and she knew her place, understanding what to do at any given moment.


    At this moment, Ge Huai exhibited none of the qualities of a good assistant. It¡¯s true that shouting ¡®666¡¯ was not wrong, but that was Qin Yue¡¯s job; as an assistant, he should just be observant.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Teacher Ge, stop the bleeding.¡±


    Ge Huai¡¯s face flushed with embarrassment as he hurriedly grasped the gauze to staunch the bleeding!


    Then, Chen Cang started to incise the anterior sheath of the rectus abdominis, meticulously separating it, and finally excising the xiphoid process.


    The next step required carefully separating the transversalis fascia that is fibrously connected to the diaphragm.


    This process was delicate, and only after completing this step, the pericardium would reveal itself!


    Chen Cang was very smooth, confident, with exquisite technique, skilled movements, and abundant experience. Where was the newbie? He was clearly an old hand!


    And he was the king of Mount Akina!


    The more Ge Huai watched, the more shocked and angry he became. Chen Cang, you¡¯re just a scheming boy!


    You just wanted to show off your prowess, didn¡¯t you?


    You claim it¡¯s your first surgery, then surprise us with your skill, and suddenly we¡¯re awestruck.


    Hmph!


    I see right through you!


    Thinking of this, Ge Huai felt a surge of indignation and dissatisfaction. Compared to this scheming BOY, he was just too naive. At this moment, Ge Huai actually felt wronged.


    It wasn¡¯t just Ge Huai; Meng Xi was also stunned by Chen Cang¡¯s technique.


    When Chen Cang said he wasn¡¯t capable, Meng Xi had already prepared for all sorts of emergency interventions.


    But now, Chen Cang¡¯s performance resembled that of a master surgeon.


    Did he even need her to step in?


    More like save her own face!


    Xia Gaofeng¡¯s heart skipped a beat, filled with regret.


    How could he have missed such an outstanding talent?


    It¡¯s truly¡­ such a pity.


    Such a student comes once in a few decades and is definitely the kind to nurture as a successor.


    And Meng Xi¡­ you¡¯re so lucky.


    Her first student was so exceptional.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang was panicking, upon seeing the exposed pericardial diaphragm.


    ¡°Syringe!¡±


    Ge Huai promptly passed it over, this time behaving obediently.


    Chen Cang tried to draw out the fluid but couldn¡¯t!


    It was a problem; there was clearly too much pus.


    The physical and chemical properties of pus are different from inflammatory fluids; if there¡¯s too much pus, it can¡¯t be aspirated.


    He had to incise the pericardium.


    But where to cut?


    Chen Cang understood where, and he even knew how.


    But the depth, the force, the appropriateness of length¡­ he had no confidence.


    As expected, as soon as the knife went down.


    The two people behind him were instantly baffled!


    Ge Huai was taken aback, thinking: What the heck? Are you doing this on purpose?


    Are you purposely using such a crude method to show me it¡¯s your first time?


    That¡¯s just too fake!


    Meng Xi and Xia Gaofeng, on the other hand, fell silent. This¡­ must be an accident, right?


    After all, that incision was so crude!


    Chen Cang¡¯s incision hadn¡¯t even opened the pericardium!


    This¡­ was such a basic mistake.


    Remembering how Chen Cang had begun the thoracotomy, both swallowed hard.


    Chen Cang must have had a numb hand, right?


    Yes!


    Certainly, that had to be it.


    After all, the difference before and after the surgery was like night and day; the disparity¡­ was too clear. It had to be a slip of the hand or maybe it had gone numb, right?!

 Chapter 317 - Chapter 317: Chapter 318: Are You Ready to Be Shocked?

    Chapter 317: Chapter 318: Are You Ready to Be Shocked?


    Chen Cang¡¯s fair face turned red!


    He felt extremely ashamed!


    This was so damn awkward!


    He actually didn¡¯t pierce the pericardium with a single cut.


    It was painful!


    Chen Cang coughed and awkwardly glanced at the two people around him¡ªor wait¡­ three people?


    Huh?


    How did Director Xia get here!?


    Looking at the eyes of the three people around him, Chen Cang took a deep breath and awkwardly said, ¡°First time, first time¡­¡±


    In his heart, he muttered: Damn it, is this really necessary?


    It was his first time performing a pericardiectomy, and there were so many onlookers; this was way too embarrassing!


    Hearing Chen Cang say it was his first time, Ge Huai smiled, understandingly saying, ¡°Mhm, you¡¯re doing very well.¡±


    In his heart, a hundred ¡®scheming boy¡¯ comments were already posted on the bullet screen.


    Chen Cang concentrated and continued with the surgery.


    This time, he opened the pericardium horizontally, carefully releasing the purulent fluid.


    This set of movements was awkward like an old ox pulling a broken cart, step by step, excruciatingly embarrassing.


    It left the two people behind him utterly astonished and bewildered.


    How should one say this?


    If Chen Cang had started off performing like this, that would have been understandable, but he started off infinitely skilled, and now suddenly he became such a noob¡ªwouldn¡¯t that make people feel a gap?


    [Acute Bacterial Pericarditis, lv40, common monster, an acute outbreak of bacterial pericarditis that has now turned into purulent fluid, with increased viscosity, chronic constrictive pericarditis could develop from long-term encapsulated suppuration.]


    Because of the purulent fluid, it couldn¡¯t be completely drained in a short time; a drainage tube needed to be placed for long-term removal.


    This required making an incision in the pericardium, also known as a pericardiectomy with drainage window.


    This¡­ was a bit difficult!


    Looking at the three onlookers who seemed to be watching a show, and at Ge Huai¡¯s mocking eyes, Chen Cang really wanted to throw down the scalpel and walk away!


    And then Ge Huai coughed, implying: Keep pretending, will you keep pretending?


    Chen Cang gritted his teeth and started carefully.


    After all¡­ the beginning is always the hardest part, but once he finished this surgery, he would become much more skilled.


    The operation slowly progressed, and for Chen Cang, excising a piece of the pericardium was too difficult.


    Since making the incision was hard, let alone cutting a small drainage hole.


    He knew what to do¡ªit was simple: remove a small piece of the pericardium, then suture the cut edge to the skin underneath.


    This process seemed simple, a surgical procedure that sounded completely trouble-free.


    But it was enough to make Chen Cang want to cry.


    The first cut, a failure!


    The second cut, so ugly!


    The third cut, what is this¡­


    Even Chen Cang couldn¡¯t bear to look.


    Chen Cang¡¯s face was so red, he hadn¡¯t felt this embarrassed in a long time; it was so humiliating. System mom, I need to train, I need to work hard, I need to get stronger!


    The three people behind him were dumbstruck¡­


    With a variety of expressions on their faces!


    At this point, even Ge Huai was baffled¡ªcould it be¡­ that Chen Cang wasn¡¯t just pretending?


    Was this really his first time performing pericardiectomy surgery?


    Looking at this crude method, it was highly likely that was the case!


    After all¡­ his face was red, and sweat was beginning to appear.


    Ge Huai was slightly taken aback and suddenly felt that he had misjudged this young man.


    It might really be his first time.


    And finally, Meng Xi understood what Chen Cang meant¡ª it seemed it truly was his first surgery.


    When Chen Cang said it was his first time performing pericardiectomy, he didn¡¯t mean it was his first thoracic surgery.


    Now it seemed, Chen Cang was not joking.


    His thoracic surgeries were amazing, especially thoracotomy, impressively masterful despite his young age. It was indeed remarkable!


    ¡°`


    But¡­ Upon reflection, this pericardiotomy, well¡­ shouldn¡¯t even meet the standards for a beginner.


    How many incisions have been made in the pericardium?


    The small opening isn¡¯t even done properly.


    Isn¡¯t this too low-level?


    At this thought, Meng Xi sighed. It seemed that Chen Cang¡¯s current skill level must have been the result of sheer hard work.


    Had he overestimated him?


    Although Xia Gaofeng also felt almost embarrassingly awkward watching, but¡­ when Xia Gaofeng took a moment to seriously remember Chen Cang¡¯s operation, his eyelids suddenly twitched.


    Chen Cang¡¯s surgical maneuvers might have been hard to watch, but¡­ Chen Cang¡¯s intentions were clear, and most importantly, his choice of surgical approach seemed quite good!


    There are many different methods to perform a pericardiotomy!


    Each method has its own indications and technical nuances.


    And the method Chen Cang was using, if one put technical skill aside, was really not bad.


    Firstly, the choice of incision was great!


    No need to separate too much tissue, plus minimal trauma, unlikely to enter the thoracic or abdominal cavities, very suited for patients with severe acute bacterial pericarditis with suppurative features.


    Thinking this, Xia Gaofeng became very curious.


    Chooses surgery methods so cleverly, but why is the surgical skill so mediocre? How could that be?


    Could this be innate talent?!


    At that thought, Xia Gaofeng suddenly felt that Chen Cang was truly impressive.


    Unable to help himself, he asked, ¡°Xiao Chen, is this¡­ your first time performing this surgery?¡±


    Chen Cang blushed with shyness and extreme embarrassment. Was it that obvious? I¡¯m already going full speed here.


    At that thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s my first time.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng smiled slightly and nodded, ¡°Mhm, not bad, you have talent. Keep it up!¡±


    Ge Huai was dumbfounded on the side!


    Chief!


    Big Chief!


    Can you speak with some conscience? Even Chief Meng was able to find his conscience, how come you, as a grown man, can¡¯t do the same?


    Where did you see talent?


    Where do you think it¡¯s pretty good!


    Ge Huai sighed, this was too fake.


    Actually, this was just a matter of different career perspectives. The angle and height from which Xia Gaofeng stood surpassed Ge Huai by far too much.


    He could quickly spot the strengths and weaknesses in an operation.


    In comparison, Ge Huai was still too young.


    Finally¡­


    Who knows how much time had passed, the operation ended¡­


    Chen Cang suddenly felt this moment was so prolonged.


    It was the first time he felt a surgery to be this mentally exhausting.


    But thankfully, it was over.


    Successfully completed!


    [Ding! Performed incision on acute bacterial pericarditis monster, gained: Skill Point +1.]


    [Current mission, complete five pericardiotomies 1/5.]


    Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief, not bad, finally accomplished!


    Surrounded by three pairs of skeptical eyes, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but snort coldly.


    Just wait, mortals.


    Only four more operations to go, and then, I, Chen Cang, am going to dazzle all of you.


    [Stare! Meng Xi¡¯s postgraduate task third round is complete, Meng Xi is quite satisfied, gains Favorability +5.]


    [Ding! Triggered the fourth round of the test mission, an impressive pericardiotomy that astonishes Meng Xi, gains Favorability +10. Mission limit: 5 days.]


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up, Meng teacher, prepare to be amazed!

 Chapter 318 - Chapter 318: Chapter 319: Damn, its really true!

    Chapter 318: Chapter 319: Damn, it¡¯s really true!


    Chen Cang was very dissatisfied with the good impression points he¡¯d earned today!


    After all, he had only gained a modest satisfaction, adding just 5 good impression points.


    What could 33 good impression points do?


    Just as Chen Cang was pondering this, Meng Xi turned around and looked at him:


    ¡°Come over more in the next two days, you¡¯ll do the pericardial surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes immediately lit up, ¡°Me? I¡­ Am I capable?¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s tone was unflustered as he said in a light and breezy way, ¡°If you¡¯re not up for it, forget it.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed, ¡°I am up for it! I definitely am, I¡¯m sure I am!¡±


    Could Chen Cang say he wasn¡¯t up to it?


    Especially when such a rare opportunity was presented.


    He was short by four surgeries, and if it weren¡¯t for this task at hand, Chen Cang would have been ready to spend skill points.


    Just bear with it!


    Seeing the teasing looks in the eyes of the three people around him, Chen Cang felt uncertain, ¡°I really am capable!¡±


    Meng Xi, upon seeing this, couldn¡¯t help but laugh with a ¡®pfft¡¯.


    Ge Huai and Director Xia Gaofeng seemed thoughtful as they glanced at Chen Cang with mischievous smiles.


    Chen Cang was stunned for a moment, Did I say something wrong?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang looked perplexed.


    After exiting the operating room, Chen Cang felt the difference that the 30 good impression points made; previously, when he had 20 good impression points, Mentor Meng Xi had been very unsure about him, not to mention performing surgery, even assisting was a stretch, but now that he had reached the 30-point threshold, there seemed to be a slight change, as he was now allowed to do some operable surgeries.


    It seemed that good impression points were indeed complicated, and Chen Cang was growing more and more eager to see what new clues could be unlocked as his good impression points with Mentor Meng Xi continued to climb.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Just after getting off the elevator, Chen Cang suddenly saw Jing Ran walking quickly towards him, and although Chen Cang greeted him, he seemed almost oblivious.


    Chen Cang grew curious and called out, ¡°Dr. Jing?¡±


    Only then did Jing Ran turn and give a start, ¡°Dr. Chen? What brings you to Dongda Hospital?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I¡¯m here to pursue my postgraduate studies. My mentor is Meng Xi.¡±


    Jing Ran nodded slightly upon hearing Meng Xi¡¯s name, Is she his mentor?


    But looking at Chen Cang, Jing Ran suddenly remembered something, ¡°Dr. Chen, it happens that we have a patient with a peculiar illness in the emergency department. I¡¯m going to check it out, do you want to join?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was instantly curious about this ¡®peculiar patient¡¯ and quickly nodded, ¡°Sure!¡±


    The time was just around one o¡¯clock, still early for starting work, and compared to a disease that had even Jing Ran filled with curiosity, a meal seemed somewhat insignificant.


    Hearing Chen Cang agree, Jing Ran¡¯s face lit up with pleasure, feeling reassured inside.


    In Jing Ran¡¯s mind, he had always regarded Chen Cang quite highly, thinking Chen Cang was very impressive, the extremely impressive kind, at least on the same level as himself, if not more skilled.


    So, with Chen Cang¡¯s affirmation, Jing Ran felt he had some security.


    The particularity of the disease meant that you couldn¡¯t possibly master everything!


    Together, the two headed for the emergency department.


    Upon their arrival, the on-duty doctor hurried over.


    ¡°Director Jing, you¡¯ve arrived!¡± The on-duty doctor, named Yang Lin, was quite young, in his early thirties, but he showed great respect to Jing Ran, addressing him as ¡®Director Jing¡¯ every time.


    Meanwhile, Jing Ran seemed to have grown accustomed to this title and status, casually nodding, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Yang Lin quickly spoke as they walked, ¡°The patient has been coughing for more than half a month now, with severe coughing for ten days, and over-the-counter cough medicine has had no effect.¡±


    Jing Ran was slightly taken aback; wasn¡¯t this type of cough something that should be seen by an internist? Why come to a thoracic surgery consultation?


    With that thought, Jing Ran inquired, ¡°Has the pulmonology department seen them?¡±


    Yang Lin nodded, ¡°She¡¯s come, but after looking at her case, they said it¡¯s not an internal medicine issue, and all physiological and biochemical indicators show that she¡¯s basically normal.¡±


    ¡°However¡­ there seems to be something peculiar in the chest CT.¡±


    At this point, Yang Lin handed over the chest CT films.


    After receiving the films, Jing Ran was immediately stunned!


    He spotted a shadow on the CT film!


    Jing Ran was astonished for a moment. What was this thing?


    It didn¡¯t look like a tumor, nor did it resemble bronchial infection, and it certainly wasn¡¯t pneumonia. With severe coughing for half a month and the physiological and biochemical tests mostly normal, could it be¡­ a foreign body obstruction?


    Jing Ran instantly became curious. What exactly was blocking it?


    Indeed, it was a strange case!


    After looking at it, Jing Ran passed the film to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, take a look.¡±


    Chen Cang hummed affirmatively, took the film, and quickly noticed a shadow too.


    After assessing the location and shape¡­ Chen Cang suddenly felt it looked familiar, strikingly similar to an image in his memory. At this thought, Chen Cang nearly laughed out loud.


    Luckily, he wasn¡¯t wearing a white coat, and the others didn¡¯t pay too much attention to Chen Cang, but Jing Ran was frozen in place.


    Is it that funny?


    Chen Cang cleared his throat, ¡°The problem is in the left bronchus, it¡¯s a foreign body obstruction!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s voice was confident, his tone resolute.


    After hearing this, Jing Ran was immediately taken aback, ¡°The left bronchus?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the endoscopy room and see what it actually is.¡±


    Jing Ran looked at Yang Lin and said, ¡°It might be a foreign body obstruction in the left bronchus. We should do a bronchoscopy to ascertain what it is.¡±


    After saying this, Jing Ran looked at the patient, a young girl in her twenties lying there, coughing dryly and hoarsely every so often.


    The girl finally caught her breath and asked with a tense expression, ¡°Doctor, what¡¯s¡­ what¡¯s wrong with me?¡±


    Jing Ran pondered for a moment before asking, ¡°Was there a trigger for your cough? Or have you put anything into your nose or mouth? Any choking or coughing while eating?¡±


    Bronchial foreign bodies are not uncommon; all these situations can cause them.


    After pondering, the girl shook her head, ¡°No, nothing like that. The choking came after the coughing started. There wasn¡¯t anything before that.¡±


    Now that was strange!


    Could it not be a foreign body?


    Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang with perplexity.


    Chen Cang smiled slightly and whispered something into his ear.


    Instantly, Jing Ran was flabbergasted!


    His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Chen Cang.


    A group of people took the patient to the endoscopy room to perform an exploratory examination to determine what the object was.


    Yang Lin was also curious about what this young man had whispered to Jing Ran.


    Which had shocked Director Jing so much.


    Soon, with the help of the bronchoscope, the doctors saw the object inside and almost laughed.


    This was indeed a peculiar foreign body!


    The physician performing the bronchoscopy had many years of experience, having seen all kinds of things, but had never come across such an oddity.


    Truly, the world is full of wonders.


    Emergency Medicine Doctor Yang Lin also saw the object inside on the screen, looking utterly bewildered.


    And Jing Ran was utterly shocked, muttering to himself: Damn, it really is!


    ps: More to come later.

 Chapter 319 - Chapter 319: Chapter 320: Business Bluster!

    Chapter 319: Chapter 320: Business Bluster!


    When everyone saw this scene on the screen, they were instantly stunned!


    Is that even possible?


    Can it be operated like this?


    And Jing Ran, who usually had a serious and aloof face, blurted out an ¡°I cao¡±!


    ¡°I cao! It¡¯s really true!¡±


    These words attracted all the surrounding people¡¯s attention.


    Causing everyone to glance over.


    Yang Lin was startled and looked at Jing Ran, ¡°Doctor Jing, have you already guessed it?¡±


    Even the bronchoscopy doctor was surprised, ¡°This, it¡¯s quite difficult to distinguish, isn¡¯t it hard to guess?¡±


    Indeed, although the shadow was very peculiar, guessing that it was a mosquito was certainly not realistic.


    Yes!


    Deep inside the patient¡¯s left bronchus, there was a dead mosquito!


    The foreign body in the left bronchus was this mosquito.


    And it was also the real culprit behind the woman¡¯s cough!


    Who would have thought that a bronchial foreign body would actually be a gigantic mosquito? It was truly damn bizarre.


    Jing Ran¡¯s face turned red, ¡°It wasn¡¯t me who guessed, it was Doctor Chen!¡±


    At this, everyone instantly turned their attention to Chen Cang.


    Who is he?


    Where does he come from?


    How can he be so amazing?


    The philosophical triple questions emerged in their minds, and the three of them were somewhat at a loss.


    Chen Cang cleared his throat, ¡°Let¡¯s remove the foreign body first.¡±


    Only then did the people react, and the bronchoscopy doctor started to work, beginning the operation carefully.


    Actually, it wasn¡¯t very difficult.


    And at this very moment, the most curious and anxious was the patient herself.


    When she heard a series of ¡°I caos¡± from everyone, she was completely baffled.


    What on earth could have shocked everyone like this?


    She was also very curious about what shocking and outrageous thing she had done.


    Could it be that Sun Wukong had gotten inside?


    After about a few minutes, finally, the bronchial foreign body was removed.


    The mosquito was enveloped in secretions, but its shape was not as pretty as amber and was even somewhat disgusting.


    And Jing Ran was a bit stunned inside.


    Remembering the words Chen Cang had whispered in his ear, ¡°It might be a mosquito.¡±


    How did Chen Cang find out it was a mosquito?


    Although he said it might be, at least he could predict this thing.


    He hurriedly picked up the CT to compare it, but after looking for a long time, he finally noticed that the manifestation of several layers combined seemed¡­ perhaps¡­ possibly¡­ really like a mosquito?


    This is insane, how did you think of that?


    Because CT scans are flat, layer by layer.


    If you want to have this kind of longitudinal thinking, you also need to have a sense of spatial reconstruction.


    If that¡¯s the case¡­ It¡¯s not impossible to guess.


    But¡­ isn¡¯t that too difficult?


    Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang with eyes filled with shock and disbelief.


    What else can you do?


    Brother!


    Your chest surgery is already so good, and your imaging skills are also impressive, do you leave any dignity for the post-doctorates at the Chinese Academy of Sciences?


    When Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang again, his eyes were full of admiration!


    This is a master!


    Yang Lin felt the same way, utterly impressed with Chen Cang!


    He quickly walked over and shook hands with Chen Cang:


    ¡°This friend, it¡¯s nice to meet you, I am Yang Lin from the Emergency Department, may I ask how to address you?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°Hello Doctor Yang, I am Chen Cang. I am¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was about to introduce his sect and master.


    Yang Lin slapped his thigh!


    ¡°Doctor Chen! You are Doctor Chen! I was wondering why you seemed so curious and familiar!¡±


    Chen Cang: ???


    With a hand on Chen Cang¡¯s arm and a face full of excitement, Yang Lin said, ¡°Don¡¯t you remember me, Doctor Chen? Aren¡¯t you Doctor Chen Cang from the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital? Think carefully¡­¡±


    Gesticulating, Yang Lin gave hints to Chen Cang, ¡°Chemical city¡­ poisoning¡­ preparing dialysis fluid¡­ ring any bells?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback; it seemed that they had indeed met, but he still had no recollection of Yang Lin.


    However, one doesn¡¯t slap a smiling face, and with Yang Lin praising him like that, he had to embellish his own achievements too!


    So Chen Cang also laughed, ¡°Oh! You¡¯re Doctor Yang, now I remember, I was thinking why you looked so familiar! Impressive, impressive!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Lin became even more delighted, ¡°That¡¯s right, if it weren¡¯t for Doctor Chen providing us with specialized, personalized dialysis fluid, those two patients back then would¡¯ve had slim chances!¡±


    Looking at Jing Ran and the endoscopist, both seemed a bit bewildered.


    Then Yang Lin started to narrate, exaggerating the glorious deeds of Chen Cang.


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Doctor Chen¡¯s expertise, who knows what troubles could have arisen then!¡±


    After listening, Jing Ran fell silent!


    How come you even know how to prepare such a tricky thing as dialysis fluid?


    Are you even human?


    Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang and suddenly felt that the man before him was so unfamiliar.


    Initially, he thought Chen Cang was just another surgical talent like himself.


    But it now seemed that only he was a surgical genius, while the other was an all-rounder, a medical marvel!


    No, he would have to discuss with his wife, Geng Yan, when he got home about what other unknown talents Chen Cang might have!


    The so-called¡­ know thyself, know thy enemy, to avoid showing off.


    After finishing his story, Yang Lin sighed, ¡°Actually, the moment I saw you, I wanted to get your contact information, but I was so busy I forgot. Today, I can¡¯t forget, come come come, Doctor Chen, shall I scan your QR code, or will you scan mine?¡±


    After adding each other¡¯s contact information, Yang Lin smiled, ¡°Now you remember me, right? I knew you couldn¡¯t have forgotten about me, I was the one who carried the containers of dialysis fluid for you. Without me, who could have lifted such massive containers?¡±


    Everyone was stunned¡­


    Chen Cang was also bewildered.


    Damn¡­


    Still no impression.


    Jing Ran was also dumbfounded, thinking he was more involved, but turned out he was just running errands.


    The girl stood up and when she saw the mosquito she had coughed up, her face turned pale.


    She hurriedly ran to the trash bin and began to retch!


    Every time she thought about a dead mosquito having lived in her lovely trachea, she felt nauseous and disgusted beyond words.


    This left the doctors in the endoscopy room completely baffled.


    Does it disgust you?


    This is a rare treasure!


    It¡¯s even more precious than amber!


    After all, in all my years, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a thing.


    A few minutes later, the girl¡¯s condition gradually improved, but her complexion was still somewhat pale.


    Suddenly, the endoscopist asked, ¡°Um, miss, do you want your mosquito back?¡±


    Upon hearing this, the girl¡¯s face changed again, and she bolted outside.


    Yang Lin was taken aback, and then his expression changed as he said to Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, we¡¯ll be in touch, I have a lot I want to talk to you about.¡±


    He then chased after the girl, ¡°Miss, wait, you haven¡¯t paid yet, hey¡­ don¡¯t run!¡±


    Chen Cang looked on in astonishment.


    The endoscopist, on the other hand, sighed, ¡°Oh, what a masterpiece! I¡¯ve seen bronchial tubes with curly hair, used toothbrushes, and¡­ but it¡¯s my first time seeing a mosquito like this! Rare, so rare.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the endoscopist, feeling a chill, wondering if this guy had some peculiar collecting hobby?


    But¡­ what¡¯s this about bronchial tubes with curly hair?


    I don¡¯t quite understand¡­


    But it certainly is rare, because insects like mosquitos usually, when flying into the nasal cavity, can be expelled with a strong exhalation.


    And even if they are inside the nasal cavity, they cannot survive and can be expelled with nasal secretions.


    It¡¯s exceptionally rare for a mosquito that knows the risks yet deliberately ventures into the trachea seeking its own death.


    Chen Cang knew this because he had a perfect ability to interpret chest radiographs, having seen all sorts of strange and unusual cases, which led him to guess it was a mosquito.


    Even so, Chen Cang could only guess!


    But not be certain.


    PS: Today is a five-chapter day, haha, days with five releases are so joyful, three just feels too constraining.

 Chapter 320 - Chapter 320: Chapter 321: Watching the Play

    Chapter 320: Chapter 321: Watching the Play


    Xia Gaofeng had picked up a new habit recently.


    He visited Chen Cang¡¯s pericardial surgeries when he was free.


    Hmm, he always felt quite delighted.


    Of course, someone of Xia Gaofeng¡¯s caliber wasn¡¯t so idle and bored as to waste time like this every day.


    In fact, he was inspired more or less every time he watched Chen Cang¡¯s surgeries.


    Although Chen Cang¡¯s pericardial skills indeed needed improvement, his philosophy on the pericardium was quite good. During surgeries, even though his technique was very¡­ well, very ¡°hmm,¡± his ideas were excellent.


    Needless to say, this was thanks to the explanation of the system.


    While the teaching mode didn¡¯t help Chen Cang learn surgery by heart, it did help him grasp many key points.


    Currently, no gap was visible, but in the future, once his surgical capabilities improved, a natural advantage would emerge.


    And as a behemoth in the field of cardiothoracic surgery, Xia Gaofeng was better at research than Tao Zi from the Second Provincial Hospital, and more inclined toward creative improvements in traditional surgical procedures.


    Therefore, he¡¯d take the time to watch Chen Cang¡¯s surgeries whenever he could, thinking it might inspire his own work.


    In truth, every doctor had their own surgical philosophy.


    Improving a surgical procedure was certainly a badass feat.


    But successfully completing a surgery was equally the mark of a good doctor.


    Therefore, one couldn¡¯t judge whether Tao Zi was better or Xia Gaofeng was, from that standpoint.


    However, under the current climate, any evaluations depended on projects, research, and papers, causing departments to emphasize and scout for research talent.


    Nowadays, every hospital was eagerly recruiting talent.


    Of course, the quality of talent was a mixed bag.


    But Xia Gaofeng was extremely satisfied with Meng Xi, even to the point of utmost satisfaction.


    He had thought Meng Xi was just a research-oriented talent flaunting a prestigious school¡¯s reputation, but unexpectedly, Meng Xi¡¯s clinical skills also proved to be solid.


    Sometimes Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but wonder if the heavens were in an exceptionally good mood when creating Meng Xi, bestowing such an abundance of halos!


    Even the first student he received was so satisfactory.


    Then looking at Chen Cang, turning around to glance at Ge Huai, Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Comparing people could really kill you.


    Ge Huai was Xia Gaofeng¡¯s postgraduate student, who stayed on after getting his master¡¯s and, with Xia Gaofeng¡¯s guidance, also earned his doctorate, becoming a core strength in the department.


    Ge Huai was quite outstanding and satisfied Xia Gaofeng, except for being somewhat immature in character.


    But now, after watching Chen Cang, Xia Gaofeng suddenly found himself increasingly critical of his senior disciple.


    He was dying to ask Meng Xi if they could swap students, give Ge Huai to her, and take Chen Cang for himself?


    At this thought, Director Xia immediately shook his head, daring not to entertain such an idea.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang felt helpless and was at a loss for words¡­


    Looking at the three spectators in front of him¡ªno, now there were four, one more person than yesterday.


    Qian Liang had somehow seen Chen Cang and also came to join in the excitement!


    Is watching my surgery that entertaining?


    Seeing Xia Gaofeng and Qian Liang standing there, laughing and joking, watching Chen Cang¡¯s surgery with a teasing gaze and commenting, Chen Cang really wanted to rip his heart out and throw it at their faces.


    What¡¯s so funny!


    Have you never seen a newbie?


    Ge Huai was even more content as he commented, ¡°Little Chen, not bad, much stronger than the last time. This time it took you only two and a half cuts to open the pericardium! Hmm, much better than before, keep it up.¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, I¡¯ll endure!


    Just wait, all of you mortals.


    This is already my fourth procedure, and after one more, I will certainly outperform all of you nobodies.


    Chen Cang was determined that once he reached an advanced level, he would use skill points to jump straight to master level.


    After all, Chen Cang¡¯s skill points had once again reached a total of 24!


    Very inflated!


    Looking at Xia Gaofeng¡¯s mocking gaze, Chen Cang squinted and smiled: Director Xia, you will be surprised very soon.


    Compared to others, it was the first time Chen Cang realized how wonderful a teacher Meng Xi was, broad-minded and exceedingly tolerant¡ªhow great¡­


    However, Chen Cang was not without progress; he was improving slowly and had become much more proficient, now on his fourth procedure.


    After half an hour, the surgery was over.


    Chen Cang looked up at Meng Xi and smiled slightly, ¡°Meng Teacher, it¡¯s finished.¡±


    Meng Xi made an acknowledging grunt, ¡°You¡¯re progressing too slowly; go back and practice more.¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    That praise came a bit early.


    And besides, where on earth could he practice?


    This was pericardial surgery, not skin suturing, which you can practice on synthetic skin.


    Chen Cang sighed helplessly.


    Now, Chen Cang basically came to the surgery room of Dong Da First Hospital every noon to scrounge a surgical meal, then headed back to his hospital after the operation, and returned for more surgery after his evening shift.


    Although he was exhausted, he found it fulfilling, and it also saved him the cost of two meals.


    Especially when he thought about the envious looks of these mortals in a few days, Chen Cang didn¡¯t feel tired at all.


    After the surgery was over, Chen Cang felt a bit stifled, having been teased by these bigwigs for the past two or three days, wishing he could find some newcomers to torment!


    Looking at Qian Liang and Xia Gaofeng, the two directors were really competitive!


    To watch his own surgery instead of going home for their wives¡¯ cooking, here they were, fighting over surgical meals with him ¡ª what for?


    And the happiest of all was Ge Huai.


    Ge Huai¡¯s fondness for his ¡°disciple¡± Chen Cang grew even more; mhm, he needed to show enough sympathy for the weak.


    After all, only then could he reflect his excellent qualities of being helpful and caring for newcomers¡­


    Leaving the surgery room and following the three back to the Department of Cardiac Surgery, Chen Cang was about to hang up his clothes in the changing room and leave.


    Now he had two lab coats, one from the Provincial Second Hospital, and one from Dong Da First Hospital.


    It kind of felt like being a spy¡­


    Right after he came out, suddenly there was a burst of ringing from a phone.


    After the nurse¡¯s station picked up, the nurse called out in a hurry: ¡°Emergency! A car accident victim has arrived with massive intrathoracic bleeding, requesting an urgent consult!¡±


    When the nurses at the station call out to the doctors¡¯ office in such a hasty tone, it means the situation is quite serious.


    As expected, hearing the shout from the nurse¡¯s station, Xia Gaofeng, Meng Xi, and the others were stunned.


    Without time to change, they grabbed their lab coats and hurried downstairs.


    Massive chest bleeding could mean many things, but regardless of the cause, it was all very dangerous ¡ª these were life-threatening injuries.


    Most of the important organs in the human body are located in the chest, and a major hemorrhage in this area means trouble for either the heart or the major blood vessels!


    At this moment, not many people were in the elevator, and the group hastily made their way down, anxious and uneasy inside the lift.


    It was as if they could hear each other¡¯s heartbeats.


    The ordinarily brief elevator ride suddenly felt incredibly long.


    Time ticked away minute by minute.


    Finally, the moment the elevator doors opened, Meng Xi was the first to sprint out.


    Chen Cang followed closely behind, running towards the emergency department!


    He was already familiar with the emergency department of Dong Da Hospital.


    The car accident victim, bleeding profusely¡­ the situation was very dangerous.


    By the time the three rushed in, the patient was already in the resuscitation room.


    Since it was just past one in the afternoon, there were only two doctors on duty.


    Seeing Meng Xi come in, Wu Peng quickly said, ¡°Director Meng, the patient is now suffering from an open pneumothorax and a hemothorax. We¡¯ve sealed the wound, and the pneumothorax is relieved, but now there¡¯s too much bleeding in the chest cavity, more than 500 ml!¡±


    His words immediately caused everyone¡¯s expressions to change.


    Hemothorax!


    And it was a moderate hemothorax with over 500 milliliters of blood.


    The situation was urgent!


    There was both an open pneumothorax and a hemothorax caused by significant blood loss.


    The condition turned critical in an instant.


    Meng Xi¡¯s expression changed, and he quickly asked, ¡°Where are the thoracic surgeons? Why haven¡¯t they come down yet?¡±


    Wu Peng: ¡°We have called to urge them, and they should be here shortly!¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the patient¡¯s monitor, feeling profoundly apprehensive inside!


    The blood pressure was getting lower, only 60/40 mmHg, the respiratory rate had reached 31 per minute, and the heart rate increased to 110 bpm!


    The overall situation was not looking good.


    Now, it was crucial to stop the bleeding and replenish fluids swiftly.


    Xia Gaofeng also ran in at that moment, and seeing the patient¡¯s condition, his face immediately darkened.

 Chapter 321 - Chapter 321: Chapter 322: Chen Cang, Your Turn!

    Chapter 321: Chapter 322: Chen Cang, Your Turn!


    Xia Gaofeng¡¯s expression was stern as he asked, ¡°What is the current treatment? Has a blood transfusion been given?¡±


    Upon seeing Xia Gaofeng enter, Wu Peng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This man was their pillar of strength, and he hastily explained, ¡°Director, we¡¯ve already started fluid resuscitation, and a blood transfusion is underway, but the blood pressure just isn¡¯t rising ¨C it either barely climbs before dropping again!¡±


    Wu Peng¡¯s words made everyone¡¯s heart skip a beat.


    This was a sign of active bleeding within the thoracic cavity.


    In other words, it was the so-called progressive hemothorax!


    With Wu Peng¡¯s words, everyone immediately understood that the patient¡¯s condition had become even more perilous.


    What is progressive bleeding? It means that there must be a rupture of a major blood vessel in the chest cavity, otherwise, the bleeding would not continue unabated like this.


    Moreover, this type of progressive bleeding required immediate thoracotomy to explore and stop the bleeding.


    In such situations, someone must stabilize the morale of the troops.


    And the chief director of cardiac surgery, Xia Gaofeng, stepped forward!


    Xia Gaofeng remained calm and collected, his face grave, but he showed not a hint of panic. After meticulously assessing the patient¡¯s condition, he systematically made a series of arrangements and said to Wu Peng, ¡°How much thoracic drainage? Show me the chest X-ray.¡±


    As Wu Peng was retrieving the chest X-ray from its envelope, he answered Xia Gaofeng, ¡°The thoracic drainage has already exceeded three hundred milliliters!¡±


    ¡°But after extracting blood via thoracentesis, the accumulated blood in the chest cavity is increasing rapidly!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng, looking at the X-ray with a grave expression, noticed the shadow in the pleural cavity continuing to grow!


    ¡°It hasn¡¯t clotted, has it?¡±


    Wu Peng nodded: ¡°No.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng knew what to do: ¡°Prepare for surgery immediately, thoracotomy to explore and stop the bleeding!¡±


    Wu Peng was taken aback, ¡°Director Xia¡­ Shouldn¡¯t we wait for the thoracic surgeons?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng, pointing at the patient in the resuscitation room, retorted, ¡°Who¡¯s waiting for them?¡±


    The phrase ¡°Who¡¯s waiting for them¡± sent a shiver through Chen Cang¡¯s heart.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this critical moment, a thoracotomy to explore and stop the bleeding, timely blood volume replacement, and shock correction were necessary!


    The handling of emergency patients truly showcased the capability and level of a hospital.


    Shortly after finishing the consultation call, specialists from cardiac surgery, orthopedics, cardiology, pulmonology, and thoracic surgery were all on standby!


    ¡°Establish the intravenous access!¡±


    ¡°Fluid resuscitation complete!¡±


    ¡­


    All tasks were being carried out in an orderly manner.


    At this moment, a sudden piece of news threw everyone into disarray.


    ¡°The patient is choking!¡± a nurse who was monitoring the patient¡¯s condition suddenly exclaimed.


    Accompanied by that slightly trembling voice, everyone present couldn¡¯t help feeling a chill in their hearts.


    Choking¡­


    This was hardly good news.


    Choking for an extended period can cause anoxia in the body, and a few minutes of brain hypoxia can lead to irreversible brain damage, or even anoxic manifestation in various organs.


    The human body is as if made up of countless living entities, and oxygen is their nourishment. Their frail bodies can starve to death in just a few minutes without it.


    In terms of the body, this manifests as tissue and organ necrosis.


    Choking?


    Why would this happen?


    Could it be an airway obstruction from foreign matter in the mouth?


    Such as secretions?


    Or phlegm?


    A blocked airway?


    Or maybe¡­


    A terrifying thought arose in everyone¡¯s minds.


    Tracheal rupture?


    Accompanied by thoracic cavity bleeding.


    Causing blood to obstruct the airway!


    If it were the latter, that would be dreadful.


    Xia Gaofeng¡¯s face changed suddenly:


    ¡°Suction sputum, clear the oral airway obstructions!¡±


    ¡°Open the chest for hemostasis immediately!¡±


    ¡°Repair the ruptured airway!¡±


    ¡­


    A series of orders were issued methodically, and everyone was busy working tensely.


    The most critical part of this surgery was the thoracotomy to explore and stop the bleeding!


    The thoracotomy must be completed within the set time to quickly control the bleeding vessel.


    And to suture the damaged airway!


    At this moment, a wad of phlegm was suctioned out.


    The patient¡¯s breathing once again resumed, and everyone couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    However, Xia Gaofeng furrowed his brows.


    No, this isn¡¯t right!


    There must be another reason, not just the phlegm!


    Moreover, the patient¡¯s blood oxygen saturation was continually decreasing.


    Xia Gaofeng rapidly issued instructions.


    Although it wasn¡¯t blood entering the trachea, but¡­ one can¡¯t rule out this possibility.


    Now it¡¯s a wad of phlegm, but what if it¡¯s a large volume of blood next time?


    The thoracic surgeon was cooperating with Xia Gaofeng in performing an open chest surgery, with Meng Xi assisting and helping.


    The thoracic surgeon was a senior attending physician in his mid-thirties.


    Soon, the chest was opened!


    Countless pieces of gauze had been used, piling on the side on top of surgical towels, while the blood inside the chest cavity even had to be aspirated with a syringe.


    Soon, the source of bleeding was found!


    An aortic arch had a contusion fracture wound; blood was continuously spurting out, the jetting blood just able to reach the damaged tracheal opening. It was likely that in conjunction with the phlegm, asphyxiation had occurred.


    Next, the main focus was on the damaged aortic arch!


    The suturing had to be completed in a very short time.


    Dealing with such ruptured blood vessels was extremely troublesome.


    Xia Gaofeng¡¯s eyes and hands were quick; he swiftly used his hands to block the vessel, and immediately the bleeding was much better.


    An open-handed hemostasis method.


    What followed was the suture of the blood vessel.


    But¡­ there was too little time for aortic repair and suturing.


    Xia Gaofeng was already having a difficult time with it now.


    It¡¯s true that surgeons get richer in experience with age, but similarly, with age comes an array of problems brought about by aging.


    But who to do it?


    Who should do the suturing?


    This was a difficult question.


    Glancing at Meng Xi, he saw that she seriously shook her head, saying, ¡°I can¡¯t do it! In such a short time¡­ I won¡¯t be able to suture well.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng looked at Ge Huai but, seeing Ge Huai¡¯s hesitant gaze, Xia Gaofeng immediately shook his head in negation before even asking him.


    Turning to look at Chen Cang, he solemnly said word by word, ¡°Chen! You do the suturing!¡±


    The moment these words were uttered, the surroundings immediately went silent.


    Chen Cang to suture the aorta!?


    Who is this person?


    His clothes were clearly those of a medical intern.


    Director Xia¡­ actually asking a student to suture, this was too risky!


    At this thought, everyone¡¯s expressions changed.


    This was no ordinary surgery; this was a medical emergency, where every second was critical.


    It was the aortic suturing, where a slight mistake could mean life or death.


    And you¡¯re actually getting a student to perform such surgery, is this not too hasty!?


    But¡­ this was Xia Gaofeng¡¯s order!


    As the person responsible for this operation, on the operating table, this was the supreme command.


    Chen Cang had no hesitation, his eyes already started forming various red names.


    There were multiple bleeding points!


    But the largest was on the aorta, which was the main cause.


    Chen Cang was extremely calm and, without any hesitation, confidently took over the suture thread, looking at Xia Gaofeng: ¡°Director, I will count 1¡­ 2¡­ 3, and you¡¯ll do the ligation!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng nodded!


    At that moment, everyone nervously focused on this surgery!


    Nervousness!


    Asphyxiation!


    Everyone took a deep breath, waiting for the surgery to begin.


    They were eager to know what it was that made Director Xia favor a young man so highly.


    Trusting a student to suture the aorta defect.


    Because¡­ suturing the aorta needs to be done as quickly as possible!


    There¡¯s no fastest, only faster!


    But at the same time, the suturing of the aorta also needs to be as tight as possible.


    As the body¡¯s largest hub of blood circulation, one of the most active sites for blood, it must be guarded closely, the suturing has to be secure!


    So, the suturing this time, exceptionally meaningful, was full of difficulty!

 Chapter 322 - Chapter 322: Chapter 323: Losing to My Student, This Must Be Interesting

    Chapter 322: Chapter 323: Losing to My Student, This Must Be Interesting


    ¡°`


    It was precisely because this surgery was so difficult that it¡­ was also the thing everyone worried about the most.


    An intern, can he handle it?


    Has the director gone mad?


    Letting an intern take the stage?!


    Even Ge Huai felt incredibly conflicted inside.


    Why would that be?


    To be honest, he got stage fright.


    As a cardiothoracic surgeon, Ge Huai experienced stage fright just moments ago.


    He was afraid!


    The mission was crucial, time was tight, the risks were high, and the stakes were equally great. Just one slip-up could lead to an irreversible failure for the patient.


    That is, death!


    Therefore, there was no room for failure; it had to be done right.


    But¡­


    Even his own mentor, Director Xia and his superior, Director Meng had hesitated, let alone himself.


    Yet, he wanted to step up!


    After all, this was his moment to prove himself, as well as a glorious moment of life-saving.


    If the shining moment for a summoner is on the stage at the WCG, then for a surgeon, it¡¯s at the operating table where they treat patients and save lives!


    However, his thoughts were seen right through by Xia Gaofeng!


    Xia Gaofeng knew his own students too well.


    Retreating before the operation.


    This is taboo!


    If you¡¯ve already lost confidence in yourself,


    what confidence can you offer to others?


    You must not falter!


    You are already the last line of defense for the patient¡¯s life; where can you retreat to?


    You are their last hope, and if you step back,


    Next is the abyss!


    ¡­


    Ge Huai watched Chen Cang approach the stage, full of confidence, with the high fighting spirit of a war deity!


    At that time, Ge Huai looked at Chen Cang with a sense of inexplicable envy.


    He was so envious!


    He envied Chen Cang¡¯s fearless demeanor and mindset.


    Was Chen Cang ignorant of the depth?


    Of course not.


    His confidence came from trust in his own abilities, from real cases of successive successes and genuine battles in the operating room!


    Why did Xia Gaofeng, in the competition between Chen Cang and Ge Huai, deliberately say Ge Huai won, but then privately praise Chen Cang?


    The reason was that Xia Gaofeng understood his students all too well.


    Ge Huai himself was very ambitious, yet lacked confidence, lacking a certain boldness!


    Originally, Xia Gaofeng, to take care of Ge Huai and not discourage him, had hidden the truth.


    He did it to help his student!


    The teacher knows the student better than a father knows his child.


    No matter which teacher, they all sincerely hope their students will stand out and become the new wave pushing the old one forward!


    But at this moment, Xia Gaofeng still couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    My student Ge Huai, when will you be able to grow up?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Looking at Chen Cang¡¯s spirited determination and vibrant appearance, his eyes brimming with confidence.


    How wonderful!


    That¡¯s how a doctor should be!


    Patients wouldn¡¯t want to meet such a doctor, would they?


    It¡¯s just like that in life; when you go to a doctor, isn¡¯t it to get a definite answer from them?


    Patients, those suffering from illness, they need comfort and confidence more than anything.


    Not to be fobbed off with your professional knowledge.


    Just like when you ask a doctor, ¡°Doctor, can my disease be cured?¡±


    The doctor replies, ¡°Well¡­ it¡¯s hard to say, I¡¯m also not certain¡­ after all¡­ so there¡¯s a fifty percent chance of failure!¡±


    With that, most patients would panic!


    But if the doctor says, ¡°There¡¯s a great chance, we have more than fifty percent probability of success, if we work together and cooperate, maybe this rate will be even better!¡±


    With these words, patients immediately trust the doctor and gain confidence in overcoming their disease.


    Doctors are truly the last resort for patients!


    So as doctors, we must carry ourselves with resounding confidence and guard the last line of defense well.


    You may not know, but sometimes doctors wish for your recovery more than your own family does.


    When everyone else wants to give up on you, it¡¯s often the doctors who are least willing to do so.


    Ge Huai watched Chen Cang, and his heart was truly complex.


    Envy!


    Great envy!


    Truly very envious!


    At that moment, he just happened to meet Xia Gaofeng¡¯s gaze, and Ge Huai was all too clear about the meaning in those eyes.


    He felt unparalleled shame!


    Regret!


    Letdown!


    All sorts of emotions were building up in his heart, and Ge Huai was very unwilling to accept them.


    Why be a coward?


    You, a Ph.D. holder with such clinical experience in suturing, having improved for a year at Xiehe and another year at the external cardiac hospital, aren¡¯t you respected everywhere you go?


    But why don¡¯t you dare shoulder the heavy responsibilities?


    At that moment, Ge Huai felt as if his immature heart was growing rapidly under Chen Cang¡¯s catalysis.


    Sometimes, people need to be compared, so that they will keep on learning.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    This year, Ge Huai was 35 years old and a chief physician.


    He had passed the exam for the position of deputy chief physician last year, but the hospital did not hire him.


    It was because Xia Gaofeng had refused.


    He believed that Ge Huai was not yet up to par.


    As a teacher, who doesn¡¯t want to promote their own students?


    Wouldn¡¯t it be wonderful to make Ge Huai a deputy chief physician?


    Of course, it would!


    But Xia Gaofeng didn¡¯t want to.


    Because compared to promoting Ge Huai, what he wanted to protect more were his patients.


    What does it mean to be a deputy chief physician?


    This is Dongda First Hospital, a top-level cardiac surgery hospital in the province¡ªits deputy chief physicians are significant figures at any hospital.


    But precisely because of this, Xia Gaofeng didn¡¯t want to let Ge Huai be like that.


    Because Ge Huai truly didn¡¯t have the ability to become a deputy chief physician.


    As a deputy chief physician, you need the ability to handle patients independently, possess the poise to remain calm and collected in emergencies, and have an accommodating and humble heart.


    Otherwise, promoting a mediocre doctor is a disrespect to patients.


    As a doctor, the first thing to do is to be responsible for the patients!


    What a waste!


    Doctors understand this.


    But some people don¡¯t.


    Moreover, in the hospital, oddly enough, those managing medical personnel aren¡¯t medical professionals themselves!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang slowly counted, ¡°1¡­ 2¡­ 3! Tie it off!¡±


    Meng Xi hurriedly tied it off.


    The blood flow stopped instantly!


    As the most critical hub of human circulation, its stopping meant a lot to everyone present.


    Every second was a luxury!


    Everyone was hoping that Chen Cang could be a bit quicker.


    However, they couldn¡¯t possibly imagine, and dared not think about, what happened next¡ªit was astoundingly shocking!


    The suture line rose and fell, and Chen Cang¡¯s needlework was incredibly smooth, appearing almost as if he were knitting a garment, that sort of feeling!


    The aorta and blood vessels were much thicker than ordinary ones, which made the difficulty much greater.


    But it seemed that Chen Cang wasn¡¯t affected at all.


    Suturing!


    Speed!


    Great speed!


    And beside him, watching Chen Cang suture, Meng Xi, Xia Gaofeng, and Ge Huai were struck dumb.


    Even Xia Gaofeng and Meng Xi, who had seen much of the world, could not have anticipated Chen Cang stitching with such speed.


    How amazing was that?


    Accompanying Chen Cang¡¯s call, ¡°Let go!¡±


    Meng Xi quickly loosened the hemostat, and the blood flow resumed at once.


    At that moment, everyone present couldn¡¯t help but swallow their saliva.


    How¡­ fast was that?


    Under a minute¡­ right?!


    Meng Xi, looking at Chen Cang¡¯s hands, saw nothing but excitement and brilliance. These hands were simply made for a surgeon.


    Perhaps, even faster than that man!


    In no time, maybe Chen Cang really could surpass him!


    Thinking this, Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but let the corners of his mouth lift slightly, revealing a smile different from those of the past.


    When the time comes, to be surpassed by my student would be an interesting matter.


    ps: There will be two more updates in the afternoon, thanks! Lastly, I¡¯d appreciate your votes.

 Chapter 324 - Chapter 324: Chapter 325: Special VIP

    Chapter 324: Chapter 325: Special VIP


    ¡°`


    The surgery ended quickly, and the patient¡¯s vital signs were stable.


    This case of hemothorax caused by bleeding in the chest cavity and a ruptured aorta was also successfully treated.


    Applause rang out in the office.


    But Chen Cang knew the applause was for everyone, not just for him alone; it was the collective collaboration of every healthcare worker present.


    On the operating table, there are never any lone warriors fighting solo battles.


    The patient was taken to the ICU, where continuous monitoring and treatment were necessary.


    Chen Cang said goodbye to everyone and returned to the Provincial Second Hospital; it was now after four in the afternoon. One surgery, three hours¡ªnot too long.


    As soon as he arrived at the emergency office, Wang Yong hurried over: ¡°The director was looking for you earlier, why are you just arriving now?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled: ¡°What happened?¡±


    Wang Yong lifted his eyelid: ¡°Not sure, but¡­ seeing the director with a dark expression, he seemed not too pleased. You¡¯d better be careful.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback. When had Director Li ever not been stern-faced?


    Still, what was it about?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang took out his phone, ready to return the call to Director Li.


    But upon taking out his phone, he saw seventeen or eighteen missed calls.


    Chen Cang was instantly startled, ¡°What the hell? What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    During the surgery, he had set his phone to silent and had forgotten to adjust it afterward. From twelve o¡¯clock until four, seventeen or eighteen missed calls were indeed staggering.


    Tan Zhonglin had made five or six.


    Li Baoshan, three.


    Qin Xiaoyuan, two.


    Yang Tao, two.


    Qin Yue, one.


    And several from an unfamiliar number, but the phone number was quite impressive, a series of consecutive digits.


    After some thought, Chen Cang decided to first grace Qin Yue with a call back, so he dialed Qin Yue¡¯s number: ¡°Hello? What¡¯s up? Miss me?¡±


    Qin Yue laughed, making a joke: ¡°Miss you? What are you dreaming about? My dad couldn¡¯t get through to you and thought you had blocked him, so he used my phone to try.¡±


    Chen Cang instantly broke into a sweat; how could Dean Qin, the head of an institution, be so foolish?


    Chen Cang chuckled awkwardly: ¡°No, no, how would I dare to block your dad¡¯s number! Anything else? What did Dean Qin want?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded: ¡°Just kidding. There¡¯s a patient who got a cut on the face and needs cosmetic suturing. I don¡¯t know who referred them, but they were in a hurry to find you for the suturing.¡±


    Qin Yue quickly added: ¡°This patient should still be waiting for you, be careful, this person¡¯s family is quite capable.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback: ¡°Capable? What do you mean?¡±


    Qin Yue: ¡°His dad is a well-known entrepreneur in Anyang City, big family, big business, and most importantly, this person is a bit¡­ foolish. Just be careful, that¡¯s all.¡±


    After hanging up, Chen Cang returned Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s call.


    At that time, in the dean¡¯s office, a well-dressed middle-aged woman was sitting with a boy, and Qin Xiaoyuan was chatting and laughing with them.


    Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s call, Qin Xiaoyuan quickly answered: ¡°Hello? Xiao Chen? Are you finished with the surgery?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and quickly nodded: ¡°Yes, Dean Qin, the surgery¡¯s done. I¡¯m in the department.¡±


    Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan nodded: ¡°Alright, Xiao Chen, I¡¯ve got a friend here, his child has a facial injury that needs attention. I¡¯m taking them down now.¡±


    After the call, Qin Xiaoyuan looked at the two with a smile: ¡°President Yang, let¡¯s go down, Xiao Chen has finished the surgery.¡±


    ¡°`


    Yang Chunhua nodded slightly, smiling, ¡°Then I must trouble Director Qin, I am truly sorry for the inconvenience.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan waved his hand dismissively, ¡°No need for apologies, let¡¯s go together downstairs.¡±


    ¡­


    When Chen Cang saw Qin Xiaoyuan personally escorting the two people over, he shook his head and smiled; truth be told, most VIPs were quite easy to get along with, and they typically had high standards in all aspects.


    After all, to speak frankly, those who could genuinely climb to higher echelons were mature both in their demeanor and in the way they handled things; in conversing and interacting with them, you might even find it very comfortable.


    This was a kind of ability.


    Most of the time, you would feel that success was no fluke.


    However, encountering VIPs in the emergency department was too rare; after all, who would come looking for an emergency doctor without good reason?


    The hospital also had many lesser-known dynamics; some departments naturally had more opportunities to encounter distinguished individuals, while others tended to see a larger proportion of patients from financially struggling backgrounds.


    For example:


    Patients in departments such as VIP care, retired officials¡¯ care, and neurology were rather special. The first two were essentially gathering places for influential people, frequently visited by high-ranking officials, while the neurology department also had its share of wealthy tycoons.


    By contrast, departments like emergency medicine, pulmonology, and oncology rarely had such illustrious figures. Patients in the pulmonology department tended to be thin, dark, and many came from modest backgrounds. The oncology department at the Second Provincial Hospital was the same, with some patients even unable to afford hospitalization fees. Of course, there were also wealthy patients, but they were generally the minority; after all, those who could afford it would prefer to seek treatment in big hospitals or even go abroad.


    In emergency departments, there were essentially no VIPs; as encounters were fleeting, the emergency department served merely as a transit point for patients, where they would not linger for long.


    Of course, this was just a rough estimation and did not apply to everyone.


    Chen Cang observed the boy clad in trendy brands, with gauze covering from his neck to his face, without any traces of blood¡ªit must have been treated already.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, Qin Xiaoyuan hurriedly said, ¡°This is Chen Cang, Doctor Chen, whom you were looking for!¡±


    The middle-aged woman was momentarily taken aback upon seeing Chen Cang¡ªso young, could it really be him?


    The woman, dressed elegantly in a traditional Chinese qipao, spoke with dignity, ¡°Doctor Chen, hello, I was referred here by Director Yang Tao. I¡¯ve heard that you¡¯re particularly skilled with skin suturing, and I¡¯m afraid we¡¯re troubling you this time.¡±


    The woman was exceedingly polite, speaking with confidence and leaving no room for fault-finding.


    Just moments ago, Chen Cang had returned Yang Tao¡¯s call, and Yang Tao had shared some details about the patient¡¯s family situation, also requesting that Chen Cang help take good care of them. Hence, Chen Cang too nodded and smiled courteously, ¡°Not a trouble at all.¡±


    The boy remained silent throughout, his expression sullen as he looked at Chen Cang with a mix of doubt and belief.


    Yang Chunhua couldn¡¯t help but sigh at the sight of her son behaving this way¡ªhe had really been spoiled.


    Li Baoshan arrived at this point and greeted everyone.


    Chen Cang led everyone to the treatment room and asked the boy to sit down. After removing the gauze covering his face, an injury was revealed¡­


    This was not a cut, nor was it from any other cause; instead, it looked as if it had been inflicted by a girl¡¯s fingernails, with varying depths.


    Chen Cang frowned immediately.


    Such scratch injuries were the most difficult to deal with.


    They were prone to scarring.


    Many people still bore marks on their faces from being scratched in childhood as the injuries were not well attended to.


    Although this type of wound might not appear serious¡ªbeing just a laceration¡ªmaking it virtually imperceptible required significant effort.


    Considering this, Chen Cang spoke plainly, ¡°We should go to the operating room.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone frowned slightly, ¡°Is it that serious?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°The wound is not large, but it seems to be infected, and it¡¯s likely a scratch injury. We need to remove the damaged skin and figure out how to suture it. The treatment room¡¯s hygiene conditions are limited, so we better prepare for surgery as soon as possible.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Chunhua¡¯s complexion grew worried, ¡°Okay, okay, however you see fit to proceed, Doctor Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang hummed in acknowledgment, ¡°Go and complete the formalities, let¡¯s prepare for surgery as soon as possible.¡±

 Chapter 325 - Chapter 325: Chapter 326: I Hope to Never See You Again!

    Chapter 325: Chapter 326: I Hope to Never See You Again!


    A group of people walked towards the outside, and Yang Chunhua deliberately walked up to Chen Cang. When they reached a deserted corner, he quickly pulled out a card from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Cang¡¯s pocket.


    ¡°Dr. Chen, I really need to ask for your help this time,¡± said Yang Chunhua with a worried face, ¡°Fanfan is still young and not yet married. If a scar is left on his face, it would be such a bad influence!¡±


    Indeed, the boy had fair skin, and if the scar was not treated, it would certainly be very noticeable.


    ¡°I heard from Director Yang Tao that your services are very expensive outside, belonging to the top tier of plastic surgeons in Dongyang Province, but we couldn¡¯t get in touch with you, so we had to come to the hospital. I really didn¡¯t want to trouble you!¡±


    ¡°But rest assured, I didn¡¯t mention this matter to Director Qin. I told him that it was a friend who referred us for the treatment. I hope it won¡¯t cause any bad influence on you.¡±


    After all, Yang Chunhua is a man of the world, so he considered a lot in his dealings, fearing that Chen Cang¡¯s plastic surgery outside the hospital might become known internally and cause a bad influence, which is why he said so at this moment.


    Dealing with such people is not very tiring, since they consider even more than you do.


    Chen Cang smiled, nodded, but didn¡¯t say anything.


    Yang Chunhua continued, ¡°But¡­ I couldn¡¯t just come to you without offering something in return, yet¡­ it¡¯s not convenient to give you this in the hospital. There¡¯s a hundred thousand in this card, consider it a consultation fee. I hope Dr. Chen can help out.¡±


    Chen Cang took it out from his pocket and stuffed it back, holding it in the hospital really wasn¡¯t good.


    It wasn¡¯t that he was short of the money, but that treatments in the hospital should follow the hospital¡¯s process. If it¡¯s an outside transaction, then it¡¯s a matter of clear pricing.


    The nature is different.


    These are the rules, and you must work within them.


    If these hundred thousand yuan were to become leverage for others, the loss aside, mainly it would have a very bad impact on his own reputation and that of the hospital.


    A hundred thousand yuan is neither too much nor too little.


    If you say it is ¡°a gratuity of a hundred thousand,¡± most people would just express their amazement and envy.


    But what if it¡¯s said to be a ¡°red packet of a hundred thousand¡± for a doctor? Just think of the kind of impact that would bring. It¡¯s enough to bring down even Qin Xiaoyuan.


    The difference is just that big.


    With the system in hand, Chen Cang was not short of ways to make money. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so it wasn¡¯t worth taking risks for a mere hundred thousand yuan!


    Earning money should be done safely. Taking money in the hospital, especially from such a high-profile person, was trouble.


    Seeing Chen Cang refuse the red packet, Yang Chunhua¡¯s expression changed instantly: ¡°Dr. Chen, this¡­¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°You are Director Yang¡¯s friend, as well as Director Qin¡¯s friend, so let¡¯s handle this the way friends would.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t say much.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After changing clothes, Chen Cang entered the operating room. Under the shadowless light, the wound was even more clearly visible.


    [Damaged skin, lv28, boss monster, with infection and deficiency of the skin, debridement is needed while at the same time requiring skin grafting. ]


    After receiving the system prompt, Chen Cang was slightly silent.


    These scratches were really not shallow, definitely inflicted with resentment; what on earth had the wretch done to provoke such bitter resentment from a girl!


    Looking at the fair-skinned young man, Chen Cang sighed softly, meaning that the difficulty of stitching might increase.


    Actually, saying that skin flap grafting was needed, it did not have to be as severe as in Dou Xin¡¯s case, but just required a simple advancement flap closure.


    Is it difficult?


    Not very.


    But to leave no scar, that would significantly raise the complexity.


    Luckily, the wound wasn¡¯t very wide, so it was still feasible to try hard.


    Moreover, the man had fuller flesh on the side of his face, with looser skin, which made stitching less difficult. Chen Cang did his best to thoroughly clean the internal infection and damage to minimize scar tissue formation on fresh granulation tissue.


    The surgery wasn¡¯t difficult, and with Chen Cang¡¯s rich experience and skilled movements, it took just over ten minutes for the suturing to be completed.


    Behind him, Qin Xiaoyuan and Li Baoshan were full of emotion.


    One couldn¡¯t help but be brought to the hospital with such skill and level, especially the suturing technique, which is very delicate¡ªan average person really couldn¡¯t do it.


    It requires not only suturing skills but also aesthetic skills.


    However, the key individual in the whole situation, this young man, didn¡¯t say a word from start to finish.


    Not even a simple thank you.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t need a thank you, but he saw a hint of contempt in the young man¡¯s eyes¡­


    It seemed as if he had no respect for Chen Cang at all¡ªthat was the feeling he got.


    Chen Cang shook his head and didn¡¯t care.


    After all, he had seen all types of patients, and there was no need to dwell on this.


    Moreover, if not for the sake of the monk, then for the Buddha¡ªif only to show respect to Dean Qin and Dean Yang Tao.


    After all, not too long ago, Yang Tao had referred a cosmetic patient to him and he had earned a cosmetic surgery fee of more than a hundred thousand.


    The foundation of interpersonal dealings is built upon mutual collaboration.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After coming out, Chen Cang made arrangements for the man, but seeing his indifferent behavior, Chen Cang was somewhat speechless.


    Yang Chunhua, upon noticing this, hurriedly smiled apologetically and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, if you have any instructions, I¡¯ll take note.¡±


    As she spoke, she pulled out a small notebook from her bag.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Postoperative scar management is necessary, there are many precautions, and you absolutely mustn¡¯t tamper with it¡­ It¡¯s best to go to a professional beauty institution, anywhere like Dean Yang¡¯s, for further postoperative recovery¡­¡±


    Chen Cang mentioned each point, and Yang Chunhua noted it down, while the boy who was the subject of their conversation seemed not to care at all, as if it wasn¡¯t him who was injured.


    Yang Chunhua was very grateful for Chen Cang¡¯s help, ¡°We are truly troubling Dr. Chen!¡±


    However, at this time, the young man couldn¡¯t help but snort upon hearing his mother¡¯s gratitude, ¡°It¡¯s his job, what¡¯s there to thank him for? He hasn¡¯t lost a single penny.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s face changed!


    A bad attitude is one thing, but this comment really showed a lack of tact.


    It was like doing good deeds only to be repaid with ingratitude.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head¡ªthis was one person he hoped never to encounter again; no amount of money would make him provide treatment.


    Even if you kneeled and begged, I couldn¡¯t be bothered to care.


    With this thought, Chen Cang prepared to leave.


    Yang Chunhua, after hearing this, was somewhat embarrassed and angrily said to the young man, ¡°Zhang Fan, apologize!¡±


    The boy snorted coldly, ¡°Apologize? For what? Am I wrong? Isn¡¯t this what a doctor is meant to do? Besides, don¡¯t you have a clue about how much you paid him? Haha!¡±


    ¡°I guess it¡¯s enough to cover his salary for a year, right?¡±


    After saying this, he didn¡¯t pay any attention to her, scoffed, and walked straight out.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang snorted coldly, hoping that he never has to seek me a second time, because even if you kneeled and called me grandpa, it would be useless!


    Such people!


    Unappreciative indeed.


    Yang Chunhua quickly apologized to Chen Cang, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dr. Chen, truly sorry, it¡¯s all my fault for not disciplining my child properly, I apologize for causing you trouble.¡±


    Having said that, Yang Chunhua hurriedly chased after the boy and ran out.


    Chen Cang shook his head, smiled, didn¡¯t say anything, and walked away.


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face turned as well, showing some displeasure, and Li Baoshan was even more sullen, not uttering a word.

 Chapter 326 - Chapter 326: Chapter 327: Flickering Youth

    Chapter 326: Chapter 327: Flickering Youth


    Chen Cang had recently started to make a name for himself in the realm of plastic surgery in Anyang City. Ever since the collaboration model with Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital changed, Chen Cang didn¡¯t need to travel there every week anymore.


    Moreover, Yang Tao and Qin Xiang, upon hearing this news, grew even closer to Chen Cang.


    Yang Tao was a businessman, well-versed in the ways of both his industry and others. He spared no effort in promoting Chen Cang, and began to channel more quality resources his way.


    And with Qin Xiang¡¯s help, Chen Cang also found time to take an exam for a plastic surgery certification.


    This way, Chen Cang didn¡¯t have to work in a sneaky, under-the-table manner anymore, since he was officially certified for the job.


    After work in the afternoon, Chen Cang received a call from Qin Xiang saying that Dou Xin was ready to be discharged from the hospital the next morning.


    This was the second hospital stay for Dou Xin following her surgery. Such extensive burn reconstruction surgeries almost never get completed in one go. Chen Cang had conducted a secondary repair later on, both of which were very successful, and the recovery was looking great.


    However, Chen Cang had never seen the final result himself. Thinking of this girl, pure as a winter sun over snow, Chen Cang still harbored a fondness for her.


    He was also quite eager to see the outcome of the surgery.


    He hoped that the success of the surgery on her appearance would help dispel the shadows in her heart, sweep away the deep-seated insecurity, and allow her to become sunny, cute, and kind.


    So, he was just about to finish up and get ready to leave work.


    At that moment, Qin Xiaoyuan happened to pass by. Seeing Chen Cang about to leave, he hastily called out to him.


    ¡°Chen? Off work?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, saw the dean, and smiled, ¡°Yes, Dean Qin, are you off work too?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, smiled, and reassured, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about today¡¯s incident. That young man doesn¡¯t know better.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled faintly, ¡°What haven¡¯t we seen as doctors, right?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan heard Chen Cang¡¯s words and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. It seemed Chen Cang was indifferent, but in reality, he had already likened the other to cats and dogs.


    But it didn¡¯t really matter.


    Qin Xiaoyuan shook his head nonchalantly. Such matters are water under the bridge, but what he was most concerned about was something else, ¡°I¡¯ve seen Qin Yue busy with some data analysis recently, working overtime until past one in the morning every day. Young people shouldn¡¯t overwork themselves. They should balance work and relaxation, you know?¡±


    What old Qin cared most about was his dear daughter, and these constant late nights were nearly causing him heartache!


    He wouldn¡¯t even dare to overwork his precious girl, yet there she was, slaving away for others.


    But when old Qin spoke up, his daughter simply wouldn¡¯t listen!


    Without any other course of action, he had no choice but to employ a roundabout method, giving Chen Cang a nudge.


    Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Chen Cang also felt a surge of emotion in his heart; to be honest, he was genuinely moved¡­


    At that thought, Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Rest assured, Dean Qin, I¡¯ll handle this matter.¡±


    When Qin Xiaoyuan heard this, he finally relaxed, ¡°Chen, ambition is a good thing, but¡­ don¡¯t overwork yourself.¡±


    ¡°You too. I¡¯ve heard you¡¯ve been rushing to the First Hospital of Dong University right after work. Don¡¯t exhaust yourself, you¡¯re still young, take care of your health.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Thank you for your concern, Dean Qin.¡±


    Watching Chen Cang¡¯s retreating figure, Qin Xiaoyuan sighed. He wasn¡¯t really worried about Chen Cang; what he was¡­ concerned about his daughter becoming a spinster!


    Honestly, no one knows a daughter like her father.


    Qin Xiaoyuan had watched Qin Yue grow up, and her stubborn nature meant that once she made up her mind, not even seven or eight bulls could pull her back.


    Some time ago, Professor Wu Xueyu¡¯s family and the Qins had dinner together, with the intention of matchmaking their children.


    Truth be told, the Wu family¡¯s son wasn¡¯t bad either: a graduate from a prestigious school and a decent person.


    It wouldn¡¯t hurt to date a bit.


    But Qin Yue had excused herself and left in the middle of a movie date with him.


    And then she refused to go out again whenever he called.


    This left Qin Xiaoyuan at a loss. The Wu family¡¯s son was quite acceptable, but Qin Yue just didn¡¯t feel the spark.


    Yet Chen Cang, this guy, was making his daughter work her fingers to the bone day and night.


    At this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Ah¡­


    It¡¯s hard to keep a grown daughter at home¡­


    Shaking his head, Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, looking toward the distance where Chen Cang had disappeared.


    Actually, Chen wasn¡¯t too bad.


    He was a potential stock worth investing in.


    As for his family background¡­


    Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t care either. After all, he was a notable figure in Anyang City, so how could he not be able to help his son-in-law?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang came rushing to the Department of Dermatology at Dongda Hospital and headed towards that familiar ward.


    After pushing the door open, he saw that adorable and pure profile again, writing something in the fading light of the setting sun.


    Hearing the sound, Dou Xin quickly turned around.


    At the sight of Chen Cang, a burst of joy lit up her eyes, brimming with light, her large eyes fluttering as if they were filled with the stories of seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth.


    However, Dou Xin quickly turned her head away, shook her head, let her hair fall loose to cover her face, and then buried her head again.


    The heart of seventeen or eighteen-year-old Dou Xin already held the secrets of youth.


    Upon seeing this, Chen Cang smiled and walked in, ¡°Xin Xin, where¡¯s your dad?¡±


    Dou Xin¡¯s voice was actually very pleasant, but every time Chen Cang spoke to her, her voice was always very soft.


    ¡°He¡¯s gone to buy food.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Oh, I heard from Director Qin that you¡¯ll be discharged tomorrow, so I came to see you.¡±


    Upon hearing that Chen Cang had come to visit her, Dou Xin felt truly delighted.


    Chen Cang continued, ¡°Come on, lift your head, let me see how your face is doing?¡±


    Dou Xin gingerly and nervously lifted her head.


    Only then did Chen Cang look at her face closely; it had healed very nicely. After the stitches were removed, there were hardly any scars left, and the one area where there was significant change was at the crossover point of the skin flap. Chen Cang had cleverly filled in that area with a special suturing technique. Although there was a mark, it didn¡¯t detract from her beauty at all, but rather looked like a unique insignia.


    Dou Xin loved this mark; it was a gift from Brother Chen Cang!


    ¡°Hmm! Really nice,¡± Chen Cang admired the flawlessly smooth face that had recovered very well, with virtually no discoloration.


    Chen Cang was really happy, not just with the success of the surgery, but also genuinely for this young girl.


    Dou Xin had thought for a long time; she had a secret she wanted to tell Chen Cang, but she didn¡¯t dare to. Yet, if she didn¡¯t say it, it felt unbearable to keep it inside, and she worried that she might never have another chance to speak up.


    Finally, Dou Xin mustered up the courage, looked up at Chen Cang, her large eyes fixed on him, and said softly, ¡°Brother Chen Cang, I like you.¡±


    But just at that moment, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Dou Xin¡¯s father entered.


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned as if he hadn¡¯t heard clearly, ¡°Xin Xin, what did you say?¡±


    The words Dou Xin had just said had already used up all her courage, and now that her father was present, she hastily said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s nothing, I was just saying, Brother Chen Cang, thank you.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day, Dou Xin was discharged from the hospital and walked with her father towards the bus station, carrying large and small bags. When they passed by a luxuriously decorated plastic surgery clinic, a woman handing out flyers gave them one.


    Dou Xin flipped through it out of boredom, but at just one glance, she froze in shock!


    ¡°Million-Yuan Plastic Surgeon: Chen Cang!¡±


    Dou Xin was stunned!


    She never imagined that Brother Chen Cang, who had operated on her for free¡­ was actually a millionaire plastic surgeon.


    He charged a million for just one cosmetic surgery!


    Yet he had performed the surgery on her for free and even given her many gifts.


    Thinking of this, Dou Xin¡¯s tender heart suddenly trembled.


    A complex emotion began to grow.


    Tears swirled in her eyes, yet they never fell.


    Gazing at the flyer¡¯s cover with the handsome and sunny Brother Chen Cang, Dou Xin carefully folded it and placed it into the pocket over her heart.


    Her father, looking at Dou Xin, smiled and asked, ¡°Xin Xin, the ¡®Good Voice¡¯ competition is starting soon, are you going to participate?¡±


    Dou Xin¡¯s eyes sparkled with dazzling light, and she made a firm decision, ¡°I¡¯ll participate!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Oh my, the back-end platform suddenly updated, leaving me completely bewildered, I spent seven or eight minutes figuring it out, how embarrassing! Just three updates for now, while also seeking monthly votes, hehe, thanks everyone for your support. More to come tomorrow at noon.

 Chapter 327 - Chapter 327: Chapter 328: The Distance Between Life and Death

    Chapter 327: Chapter 328: The Distance Between Life and Death


    45-year-old Sun Baomin was a veteran bus driver in Anyang City¡¯s 818 route. When he was 20, he joined the Anyang Bus Company, and he had been there for twenty-five years.


    During these twenty-five years, he had driven countless times along Anyang¡¯s 818 line; the scenery along the way became his world¡ªmore familiar to him than the complex where he lived.


    Over these twenty-five years, he would set out every morning at 6 a.m., accompanied by the same familiar 1-liter thermos. Though his vehicle had been replaced three times over the years, the only constant was the thick thermos that had turned yellow and green with age, a legacy handed down from his father. However, in recent years, the tea inside the thermos had been swapped for goji berries.


    Once one passes forty, old age sets in whether they like it or not.


    From Xino Bus Station to North City Furniture City, he knew the thirty-three stops of the route by heart. He could proudly say that he was the real veteran driver.


    As usual, Sun Baomin started driving his vehicle slowly; he was a steady driver. In twenty-five years, he hadn¡¯t had a single incident, something he took great pride in.


    But just as he was about to pass a traffic light, suddenly a woman¡¯s dog darted out, and the woman also hastily took two steps forward.


    Sun Baomin¡¯s face changed instantly, With quick eyes and deft movements, he slammed on the brakes hard!


    The huge bus suddenly came to a stop, causing the passengers inside to lurch forward!


    And because of the abrupt stop, Sun Baomin himself was thrust against the steering wheel.


    The bus¡¯s steering wheel was quite high, hitting Sun Baomin right in the chest and abdomen, sending a sharp pain coursing through him.


    Sun Baomin couldn¡¯t help but gasp for air.


    Grimacing in pain, he rubbed his chest. Damn, it hurt!


    Unable to hold back, he rolled down the window and cursed out loud, ¡°Can¡¯t you see the traffic light? Do you have a death wish? Is the dog more important than your life?¡±


    The woman, who had already scooped up the teddy in her arms, looked at the bus still seven or eight meters away. Hearing Sun Baomin¡¯s curses, her expression changed, ¡°The bus isn¡¯t yielding to pedestrians? Do you believe I¡¯ll file a complaint against you?¡±


    Sun Baomin was also dumbfounded. Damn it, yielding to pedestrians is one thing, but this is a traffic light. Didn¡¯t you see it was red at the pedestrian crossing?


    Forget it, forget it, as long as nothing happened!


    The passengers inside the bus started to curse as well.


    ¡°What¡¯s with the driving?¡±


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°Hey, what the hell?¡±


    ¡­


    Sun Baomin hastily apologized, ¡°Sorry, someone suddenly darted out in front.¡±


    After speaking, Sun Baomin prepared to continue driving away.


    However, the woman holding the little teddy, staring at Sun Baomin, couldn¡¯t help but curse, ¡°Just a damn bus driver, what are you showing off for?¡±


    As she spoke and cursed, she walked to the side.


    At this point, the passengers inside the bus gradually understood what had happened. Hearing the woman¡¯s abuse from below, they immediately presented a united front!


    After all, the bus driver¡¯s emergency braking was for their safety. If she was ungrateful, that was one thing, but cursing him was too much!


    Suddenly, it was quite lively.


    Sun Baomin called for everyone to calm down, released the brake, and resumed driving.


    However¡­ along the way, Sun Baomin kept feeling an uncomfortable heaviness in his chest.


    Very uncomfortable!


    After driving for seven or eight stops and while crossing an overpass, Sun Baomin felt a heart-piercing pain in his chest, like being pricked with needles.


    The pain was unbearable!


    Suddenly, an intense crushing sensation surged from within, but the bus was in the middle of turning and about to descend from the overpass.


    This intense pain nearly made Sun Baomin lose control!


    He quickly endured the pain, gripping the steering wheel tightly and carefully watched the road ahead.


    At this moment, stopping on the overpass was impossible because the passengers wouldn¡¯t be able to get off, and stopping at the turn would be extremely dangerous. To stop now would mean leaving the stricken person helpless.


    Furthermore, the enormous bus blocking the road would cause severe congestion behind it, or even result in a traffic accident!


    With this in mind.


    Sun Baomin could only use all his strength to slowly overtake and try to find a safe bus stop to pull over.


    But the feeling of losing control just now left Sun Baomin filled with fright.


    After some thought, he had no choice but to slow down and move forward gradually.


    The passengers on the bus began to voice their complaints with grief and indignation.


    But Sun Baomin had no solution, he contacted the central station to report the situation.


    At this moment, a passenger in the front row suddenly noticed something was wrong!


    Sun Baomin¡¯s face was ashen and covered in profuse sweat, a ghastly pallor that was frightening to behold!


    His hands on the steering wheel had started to tremble.


    It was a move of sheer helplessness!


    Sun Baomin couldn¡¯t control it!


    He felt his breathing become rapid, his heart beating extremely fast!


    And the pain in the chest area made his breathing hurt.


    A burly man quickly came over, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Driver? Are you feeling unwell?¡±


    Sun Baomin was in too much pain to speak, his twisted face dotted with beads of sweat, and he struggled to point at his chest.


    Seeing this, the burly man¡¯s face turned pale!


    A heart attack?


    The burly man hurriedly said, ¡°Does anyone have nitroglycerin pills? Heart medication?¡±


    The crowd was stunned¡ªwas there a problem with the bus driver?


    At this thought, everyone¡¯s expression changed.


    Sun Baomin coughed and said in a low voice, ¡°Forget about me¡­ Help me hold the steering wheel!¡±


    The burly man nodded hastily, carefully helped to hold the steering wheel, and then told the people behind, ¡°Quick, call 120, something happened to the bus driver, hurry up!¡±


    The considerate passengers behind him quickly began to make contact.


    But at this time, the middle-aged burly man took charge, ¡°The Second Provincial Hospital is up ahead, quickly contact their emergency department, tell them we¡¯re at the bus stop outside the Second Provincial Hospital!¡±


    Finally, the bus stopped well at the bus stop outside the Second Provincial Hospital, Sun Baomin was in too much pain to speak, enduring the pain, he picked up the mic, and said weakly, ¡°I¡¯ve arranged for another bus for everyone. Please transfer below, I am truly sorry.¡±


    Sun Baomin wanted to apply the handbrake and turn on the emergency light, but he was just too weak.


    He bent over, and a sharp pain twisted from his chest, causing him to collapse on the ground immediately.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital, they suddenly received a call from 120¡ªThe driver of the 818 bus beside the Second Provincial Hospital bus stop was suffering chest pains and had already passed out!


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue happened to be nearby, their faces immediately changed, and they hurriedly ran out pushing the trolley.


    The emergency department was very close to the bus stop!


    Less than 100 meters away.


    But at this very moment, that 100 meters seemed to be a distance between life and death.


    Chen Cang ran fast, the wheels of the trolley grinding urgently against the ground, making a ¡°squeaking¡± sound.


    Qin Yue, on the other hand, ran empty-handed and was even faster than Chen Cang!


    Chest pains!


    Passed out!


    This¡­ couldn¡¯t be cardiogenic shock¡­ or sudden death, could it?


    The two dared not think randomly, and could only run towards the front with all their might.

 Chapter 328 - Chapter 328: Chapter 329: The Missing Heart?

    Chapter 328: Chapter 329: The Missing Heart?


    Resuscitation is a battle against the clock!


    Every second is infinitely precious.


    No one dares to relax their vigilance!


    Chen Cang pushed the cart while Qin Yue straddled the narrow vehicle, her arms outstretched, compressing without ever stopping the CPR.


    And the burly man who had come off the bus did not leave; he helped Chen Cang steady the cart.


    The three o¡¯clock sun was extremely intense, yet the trio felt a chill down their spines.


    Qin Yue¡¯s chest compressions never ceased.


    Soon, the trio entered the emergency department.


    Chen Cang shouted to the nurse¡¯s station, ¡°Xiao Lin, prepare the ECG monitoring, and call for bedside ultrasound¡­¡±


    Resuscitation was imminent!


    Qin Yue felt her arms were about to lose sensation, but she dared not stop. This was¡­ the baton of life, who dared to pause?


    Just then, Qin Yue suddenly felt the heartbeat slowly returning¡­


    On the ECG monitor!


    The patient¡¯s vital signs quickly appeared.


    Nurse Xiao Lin called out!


    ¡°Blood pressure: 60/30 mmHg!¡±


    ¡°Heart rate 120 beats per minute!¡±


    ¡°Respiration 32 breaths per minute!¡±


    With a heartbeat now, that was good, that was good. Qin Yue was drenched in sweat, her hair sticking to her face, somewhat disheveled, and her white coat was soaked through, clinging to her body, for the first time outlining her seldom-seen curves.


    Quickly, the ECG results came out. Qin Yue handed them to Chen Cang, ¡°Chen Cang, the ECG!¡±


    Chen Cang took a look and immediately frowned!


    ST segment irregular changes!


    Ischemia was certain!


    Acute myocardial infarction as well!


    But¡­


    That wasn¡¯t the most crucial part. What was the most, most, most crucial?


    It was the strange shift in the cardiac axis.


    Chen Cang¡¯s face instantly changed. This kind of cardiac axis could be trouble!


    In the resuscitation room, not only were Chen Cang and Qin Yue present, but cardiology¡¯s level of resuscitation for cardiac patients was stronger than that of surgery. At this moment, the emergency department¡¯s physician, Zhang Tao, also hurried in.


    After seeing the symptoms and Chen Cang holding the ECG deep in thought, Zhang Tao said, ¡°Xiao Chen, give me the ECG!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and handed it to Zhang Tao.


    Chen Cang turned to Xiao Lin, ¡°Let¡¯s go, take the patient with me to quickly get a chest X-ray, to see if there¡¯s any trauma or pericardial effusion.¡±


    Chen Cang had seen many cases of cardiac tamponade recently; he felt that the ECG didn¡¯t look like acute myocardial infarction.


    Of course, was there an obstruction? Yes!


    But it wasn¡¯t the kind of infarction associated with coronary arteriosclerosis heart disease.


    Cardiac tamponade?


    Possible?


    But the likelihood was really small.


    What exactly was going on?


    An ECG could convey only so much information.


    What to do?


    While the patient¡¯s condition was still acceptable, they had to complete the necessary tests to proceed with resuscitation!


    Chest X-rays were unlike CTs; they didn¡¯t take much time and could yield instant results. Chen Cang was even willing to go along with it.


    Zhang Tao saw Chen Cang about to push the patient away.


    His face suddenly changed, ¡°Xiao Chen, what are you doing?¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Zhang Tao, too pressed for time to fully explain, ¡°Professor Zhang, there¡¯s no time. We have to complete the tests to determine the resuscitation method.¡±


    Zhang Tao, looking at the ECG, felt somewhat panicked!


    He had never seen such an ECG, truly!


    He had never encountered such a bizarre ECG.


    His emotions were complex.


    Inner turmoil!


    Anxious and uneasy!


    Complex emotions surfaced, which was the most dreadful feeling for a doctor at that time: they were clueless!


    Utterly clueless!


    He didn¡¯t know what to do!


    All he could do was complete the examination.


    But¡­ there wouldn¡¯t be any problems, right?


    It¡¯s commonly said that a number of cardiac patients have died in the radiology department.


    One misstep and it¡¯s all over.


    Yet¡­ without the examination, a clear diagnosis was impossible.


    What to do?


    Accompany the patient to the examination?


    There was only one thing to do, bring the patient into the radiology department¡¯s examination room for the test.


    What kind of place is the radiology department?


    It was definitely not a paradise.


    After Chen Cang and Xiao Lin had taken Sun Baomin to the radiology department, they said, ¡°It¡¯s an emergency, cardiogenic shock, we need a chest X-ray, stat!¡±


    The green channel was just that fast!


    Very shortly, with the help of Chen Cang and Xiao Lin, the patient was properly positioned.


    The radiology department¡¯s technician said, ¡°Alright, you can come out now.¡±


    During the X-ray, physicians generally don¡¯t stay in the room, after all, there is radiation inside, and staying there would mean exposure to it, so most people wouldn¡¯t remain inside.


    Chen Cang looked at Xiao Lin, hesitated for a moment, and said, ¡°Xiao Lin, you go out!¡±


    Xiao Lin was startled, ¡°I¡­ Dr. Chen, you go out, I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression turned stern and serious, ¡°You go call the ultrasonography doctor to the emergency department, and wait for me! I¡¯ll be right back for further examinations. Hurry, we can¡¯t afford the delay.¡±


    Xiao Lin¡¯s face paled, and he hurriedly ran out.


    Chen Cang gestured to the technician with a hand signal, ¡°OK!¡±


    The radiology doctor was taken aback and asked through the intercom, ¡°You¡¯re not coming out?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°With a cardiac patient, the condition is unstable, I need to observe the examination and position the patient in various postures. Take a few extra shots, please. Sorry for the trouble!¡±


    The radiology doctor took a deep breath, said nothing, and gave Chen Cang a thumbs-up through the glass.


    Awesome!


    Chen Cang took a deep breath and began positioning the patient.


    Generally speaking, the radiation levels in the radiology department rank as follows: CT radiation greatly exceeds that of X-ray, which in turn exceeds that of MRI.


    Of course, there are specific units of radiation, but let¡¯s not get into the details.


    This kind of radiation is insidious.


    In many primary hospitals, at the county and city levels, radiologists typically have half a month off every month, due to concerns of excess radiation exposure, because the isolation in these hospitals¡¯ radiology departments is not well established, requiring plenty of rest for the physicians and some special post allowances.


    Don¡¯t underestimate radiation.


    Pregnant women are not allowed to have CT scans because it could likely affect the baby.


    With the cooperation of Chen Cang and the radiology doctor, the results were out soon.


    Chen Cang looked at the X-ray results.


    He was taken aback!


    He saw a localized bulge in the shadow outside the contour of the heart. Was the heart swollen?


    Suddenly, a terrifying thought entered Chen Cang¡¯s mind.


    Chen Cang, in a rush, looked at the radiology doctor. Without a word of thanks, he nodded and pushed the patient out.


    The radiology doctor watched Chen Cang leave, taking a deep breath, and his expression showed admiration, his eyes full of respect.


    For the sake of the patient, he was exposed to radiation.


    A real man!


    Totally awesome!


    Hurrying back to the emergency department, the echocardiography was all set up.


    The two-dimensional echocardiographic examination began!


    Soon, the ultrasound results appeared too.


    And everyone looking at the results was taken aback.


    Holy crap!


    Where did the heart go?


    The heart in the pericardial cavity seemed to have moved from its original spot!


    Was it lost?


    Or had it gone somewhere else?


    At that moment, Chen Cang knew what was happening!


    His expression changed, and he said to Xiao Lin, ¡°Xiao Lin, prepare for emergency surgery!¡±


    ps: Hehe, five chapters arrived, guess where the missing heart has gone? Stay tuned for the reveal at midnight!

 Chapter 329 - Chapter 329: Chapter 330: Master!

    Chapter 329: Chapter 330: Master!


    ¡°`


    Prepare for emergency surgery!


    To everyone¡¯s ears, that phrase was a terrifying concept.


    Emergency surgery, also known as resuscitation room surgery, is a super urgent operation performed outside of the operating room.


    Super urgent!


    What is super urgent?


    Super urgent means that for every second delayed, the probability of death increases significantly.


    Keep in mind, the resuscitation room is not an operating room, and it is not a sterile environment!


    Performing surgery here means taking risks, including emergency operations with the danger of infection.


    In light of this, one can see just how critical the surgery is.


    Zhang Tao¡¯s face changed color, and even Qin Yue was greatly shocked.


    Why the rush?


    What exactly is going on?


    At that moment, they had yet to comprehend the situation.


    The ultrasound doctor, looking at the image, suddenly thought of something horrifying, ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ are you saying¡­ a heart pericardial diaphragmatic hernia???¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression was grave as he confirmed solemnly, ¡°That¡¯s correct! This should be a heart pericardial diaphragmatic hernia.¡±


    With those words, the faces of all the doctors in the resuscitation room changed color!


    Zhang Tao, in a flurry, picked up the phone to call the cardiothoracic surgery department.


    After all, he was very aware of what this disease was?!


    It was something that could lead to acute death!


    Chen Cang, looking at Zhang Tao and Qin Yue, said loudly, ¡°Don¡¯t panic, everyone! Xiao Lin, prepare the instruments, Sister Chang, prepare the supplies, get ready to disinfect and sterilize¡­¡±


    It was peak hospital hours and everyone was present. Chen Cang¡¯s sudden request for resuscitation room surgery instantly caught everyone¡¯s attention.


    Zhang Tao was already a treating physician, but at that moment, he still felt somewhat at a loss.


    Because this emergency was indeed striking like thunder.


    How high was the mortality rate in emergencies like this?


    Extremely high!


    Such diseases often result in death due to missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, or even because various examinations could not keep up, leading to untimely treatment.


    Perhaps some may wonder, why is a hernia so serious?


    Isn¡¯t it just the heart going next door for a visit?


    Of course not, it¡¯s when the heart tries to leave, doesn¡¯t make it out, and suddenly gets stuck in the door!


    A heart pericardial diaphragmatic hernia is basically just that!


    Pericardial rupture usually occurs at the base of the heart. When subjected to violence, the pericardium can tear.


    And what is the greatest danger at that time?


    It is the heart herniating through the rupture into the pericardial cavity and becoming incarcerated (Note: Hernia is pronounced ¡®shan,¡¯ which sounds like shame, and suddenly reminded someone to ask how to read this character).


    The heart is large!


    But the hernial orifice might not be so big!


    This can cause the heart to get stuck by the pericardium, and the heart¡¯s surface isn¡¯t smooth, but has many blood vessels. If the heart becomes incarcerated by the pericardium, then the blood vessels get clamped off!


    This is a form of physical myocardial infarction!


    After the heart becomes incarcerated, it can lead to venous return obstruction, tachycardia from the pericardium, even hypotension, and also sudden insufficient blood supply to the heart due to compression of the coronary arteries by the rupture in the pericardium.


    Therefore, in such situations, one must urgently open the chest, reposition the heart, and then close the pericardium.


    It seems like a simple matter, but the level of risk is very high.


    First and foremost, diagnosis proves to be extremely important.


    If it is discovered too late and normal heart attack treatments are applied, it may delay treatment and lead to death.


    After all, this is more rapid, urgent, and critical than a heart attack.


    In other words, it¡¯s like your neck being caught by your clothing, if you don¡¯t deal with your clothes quickly, you might be strangled to death.


    The emergency resuscitation room plunged into a flurry of orderly preparations.


    The curtains were drawn, and a makeshift operating room was set up!


    The surgery was about to begin quickly!


    Qin Yue stood opposite, nervous and uneasy. This was her first time participating in such heart surgery.


    In the field of surgery, several types inherently feel very difficult.


    One is heart surgery, the other is cranial surgery.


    Surgery involving these two areas instinctively feels very dangerous to people.


    Not just for the patients, but for medical staff as well.


    That¡¯s why when Chen Cang chose his specialty direction, he immediately selected cardiothoracic surgery.


    Since the heart and chest are closely related, to master surgical procedures in the cardiac field, one must also be well-versed in thoracic operations.


    Qin Yue was a bit concerned for Chen Cang, after all, he had only been learning cardiothoracic surgeries for a few days.


    ¡°`


    But for some reason, when Qin Yue met Chen Cang¡¯s gaze, she felt an instinctive trust and reassurance, a feeling so wonderful yet indescribable.


    Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue, ¡°I¡¯ll do the puncture, you draw the fluid!¡±


    Qin Yue nodded!


    The ultrasound doctor began the echocardiogram monitoring cautiously, while Chen Cang picked up the pericardiocentesis needle, took a deep breath, and slowly inserted it.


    This position was never the puncture site!


    But at this moment, it was necessary to puncture from here.


    Zhang Tao wanted to speak but hesitated.


    ¡°Chen¡­¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t wait for him to finish, but interjected, ¡°The cardiac tamponade has shifted, this is the safest place for the puncture.¡±


    Zhang Tao suddenly realized.


    With this fluid extraction, about 100ml was drawn!


    This left Zhang Tao somewhat stupefied.


    That 100 milliliters of blood, swamping the pericardium, how much pressure must it have put on the heart?


    How terrifying!


    The heart was already constricted, and this blood exerted great pressure; now that it was drawn out, the patient¡¯s blood pressure began to rise suddenly!


    This move instantly pulled the patient back from the brink of danger!


    However, the rescue was just beginning.


    Chen Cang turned around, removed the puncture needle and set it aside, and Qin Yue had already handed over the scalpel.


    Chen Cang picked up the scalpel and made an incision in the center of the chest!


    The choice of this location was carefully considered by Chen Cang.


    Not only did it allow for full exposure of all cardiac chambers and the origins of major blood vessels, but it also facilitated the maneuvers for repositioning the heart.


    A few minutes later, the chest cavity was opened, the pericardium was quickly exposed, and a heart, red and turning purple, was revealed outside the pericardium, trembling as it beat!


    It seemed it could stop at any second!


    The heart is normally bright red, the color of blood.


    But at this moment, it was dark and purple!


    Everyone knew what that meant.


    Thank goodness it was discovered in time¡­ If it had been delayed any longer, even if it were to recover, necrosis might be a problem.


    A heart attack is just one coronary artery getting blocked.


    But now?


    The lower half of the entire heart was constricted!


    The consequences of this were really hard to imagine.


    When everyone saw this moment, cold sweat started seeping down their backs.


    Thank goodness Chen Cang discovered it!


    Everyone was relieved, everyone was emotional.


    Even Chen Cang felt a chill, and in his eyes appeared a name tinged with purple hue.


    [Pericardial Diaphragmatic Hernia Monster: Level 55, Boss monster, the heart in a state of incarceration under the compression of pericardial filling, accompanied by coronary artery obstruction and ischemia, causing obstruction to venous return!]


    When he saw the system prompt, Chen Cang himself felt frightened!


    Encountering a Level 55 boss monster was a first for Chen Cang, and it might be the highest-level surgery he had ever faced.


    As a third-level thoracic surgery, the difficulty of pericardial diaphragmatic hernia surgery goes without saying!


    The key was the repair of the pericardium, providing the heart with a good ¡°house.¡±


    Chen Cang made a quick decision, swiftly opened up the purple Skill Book, selected the pericardial diaphragmatic hernia option, and activated it immediately.


    The reason Chen Cang chose to activate it now was to first understand fear, and then to learn!


    Only by seeing the heart¡¯s incarceration first and then specially training, would he know targeted learning.


    After all, special training did not consume real-world time; it wouldn¡¯t affect the emergency rescue at all.


    With that thought, Chen Cang immediately chose to enter.


    Practice makes perfect, Chen Cang, after countless exercises and learning numerous surgeries, experienced all kinds of cardiac incarcerations and pericardial diaphragmatic hernia surgeries, his skills and techniques continued to improve rapidly.


    ¡­


    In the virtual space, who knows how much time had passed, but after the assessment, Chen Cang¡¯s skills had changed!


    [Ding! Master Level Pericardial Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair: Special effect: 1. Precision Repair: Precise repair can make the pericardium firm and less likely to injure surrounding tissues; 2. Prevention of Cardiac Adhesion: The repaired pericardium will not affect the function of the heart and pericardium, preventing adhesions from occurring.]


    Just like that, Chen Cang returned to reality, and at this time.


    When he looked again at the incarcerated heart, Chen Cang had already planned and designed a surgical strategy for the patient¡¯s current condition in his mind.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, grabbed the scalpel, and was about to begin surgery!


    At that moment, no one noticed that a few people had come in behind them, each with eyes wide open, staring at the purplish heart, feeling a surge of retrospective fear!


    This¡­ truly couldn¡¯t afford a moment¡¯s delay!

 Chapter 330 - Chapter 330: Chapter 331: Who Did Chen Cang Learn From?

    Chapter 330: Chapter 331: Who Did Chen Cang Learn From?


    Today in Room No. 3 of the Provincial Second Hospital, a major car accident surgery was carried out.


    Multiple important bones in the human body were fractured, the spleen was ruptured, and there was significant bleeding in the abdominal cavity.


    This surgery brought together experts from the Provincial Second Hospital and the First Hospital of Dongda University.


    After more than six hours, the surgery was finally completed.


    Li Baoshan, along with Wang Xiangjun, Tao Zi, Li Jianwei, and Zhang Youfu, had just stepped out of the operating room, all relieved after the strenuous six-hour operation, somewhat fatigued and had not had the chance to speak and exchange thoughts with each other.


    Just then, they saw the emergency nurse, Cui Lele, running over in a hurry!


    Upon seeing Li Baoshan, she approached him and said anxiously,


    ¡°Director, Doctor Chen Cang is performing an emergency surgery in the resuscitation room!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the five directors¡¯ faces changed instantly!


    Li Baoshan¡¯s eyes widened in shock, ¡°What? Surgery in the resuscitation room?!¡±


    After saying this, Li Baoshan didn¡¯t bother to change his clothes; he ran outside wearing his green surgical gown!


    At this moment, his heart was pounding like crazy!


    The fatigue he had felt vanished in an instant!


    He knew that to perform surgery in the resuscitation room required strict surgical indications, otherwise regardless of whether the surgery was successful, there would be problems!


    This Chen Cang, how reckless!


    Lately, it must be because I have been too indulgent with him!


    He has been doing whatever he pleases!


    The angrier Li Baoshan thought about it, the darker his face became!


    What was this kid thinking to do such a reckless thing? Usually, he¡¯s quite sensible; how could he do such a foolish act?


    This matter had already touched upon Li Baoshan¡¯s principles and the hospital¡¯s regulations and systems!


    This was no small issue.


    Thinking of this, Li Baoshan quickened his steps even more!


    The four directors behind him were no better off.


    As they were all from the surgical system, they had a deep understanding of the gravity of such a situation!


    Because surgery in the resuscitation room was serious business for any department.


    Zhang Youfu was momentarily taken aback: ¡°Chen Cang isn¡¯t the reckless type, what¡¯s going on?¡±


    Tao Zi pondered momentarily before saying, ¡°I also feel Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t do such a messy thing; something must have happened. Let¡¯s go and check it out together!¡±


    Li Jianwei nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we don¡¯t want any accidents. If there¡¯s a surgery in the emergency room, it must be very critical. Let¡¯s see if we can be of any help.¡±


    Wang Xiangjun, who came from an emergency background, was also very tense.


    What was this emergency surgery all about?


    But¡­ it has to be said, this doctor was certainly audacious.


    After all, it had been several years since the First Hospital of Dongda University had conducted any such urgent operations in the resuscitation room.


    But who was Chen Cang?


    Why does the name sound familiar?


    Suddenly¡­


    Wang Xiangjun pictured a young man wearing a white coat from the Provincial Second Hospital preparing dialysis fluid at Dongda First Hospital in his mind.


    Was it him?


    At this thought, Wang Xiangjun also became curious.


    To tell the truth, he had a good impression of this young man, a ¡°multi-talented¡± individual.


    Well, what emergency room doctor would go learn how to configure dialysis fluid?


    With this in mind, the four directors couldn¡¯t help but hasten their steps and ran towards the emergency room without changing their clothes.


    The head nurse, seeing the five directors leave in their operating room attire, was too intimidated to express her anger, letting them go.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the operating room, upon seeing the heart that was bulging out of the pericardium and turning purplish-red, all five directors felt a chilling numbness run down their spines.


    Cardiac tamponade plus diaphragmatic hernia within the pericardium!


    Either condition could cause rapid death in a patient.


    What does it mean when two dangers are added together?


    Danger + Danger = Extreme emergency!


    This kind of surgery must be performed rapidly in the emergency room.


    No, it¡¯s not just that it can be done in the rescue room of the emergency department, it could even be said that any safe place is suitable for surgery!


    Because it¡¯s that urgent!


    There are no rules more important than saving a life.


    At this moment, the five directors looking at Chen Cang had eyes filled with shock!


    What a decisive, what a courageous young man!


    To tell the truth, anyone daring to undertake emergency surgery not only needs solid medical skills but also must possess a resolute heart in the face of danger.


    Did Li Baoshan have even a trace of life left in him at this time?


    He even felt somewhat fortunate now!


    It was fortunate that it was Chen Cang; had it been some other doctor¡­ Li Baoshan did not even dare to imagine the consequences.


    He knew all too well the doctors in the emergency department.


    Only Chen Cang could do such a thing.


    Looking at the increasingly darkened heart, Li Baoshan was truly terrified.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this very moment, the surgery was still slowly progressing.


    Chen Cang, undistracted, had no time to pay attention to his surroundings as he picked up the scalpel and made a vertical incision in the pericardium!


    He carefully repositioned the heart; after opening the pericardium, the repair work for the damaged blood vessels had to be carefully carried out.


    After all, once the pericardium ruptures, there are sure to be small vessel injuries.


    And as soon as Chen Cang opened the pericardium, immediately a bunch of red ¡°names¡± appeared before his eyes.


    A bunch of damaged blood vessels, destroyed pericardial tissue, all needed treatment.


    Especially inside the pericardium, many injuries needed to be addressed.


    Chen Cang began the surgery with great care.


    He meticulously sutured and ligated each blood vessel¡­


    The process took well over half an hour.


    Chen Cang was very meticulous!


    Because to prevent further damage to the pericardium and to restore its function, those blood vessels had to be repaired with precision, as they were the nutritional tissues of the pericardium!


    This patient and careful operation made the several directors behind him couldn¡¯t help but express their admiration.


    To perform a major surgery well, it is most important to start with the details, taking care of every easily overlooked part.


    And Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were the best ¡®cheat code.¡¯


    He could find and fix every rupture without worrying about missing anything. As a result, the chance of error was reduced, and the overall success rate increased.


    Watching Chen Cang, Wang Xiangjun couldn¡¯t help but whisper to each other, ¡°Chen¡­ Chen really is meticulous!¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded and recalling Chen Cang¡¯s usual procedures and surgeries, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°It¡¯s a talent.¡±


    The others were taken aback but did not disagree, instead, they nodded.


    You have to acknowledge talent.


    And even if Li Baoshan hadn¡¯t said it, everyone knew it well in their hearts.


    After all, they had often interacted with Chen Cang and had not a few surgeries together.


    So, their understanding of Chen Cang was even more profound.


    Zhang Youfu couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°His talent is not just being meticulous¡­¡±


    Tao Zi responded with a ¡°hmm¡±: ¡°Look at his pericardial repair. This is the core area of the pericardial hernia surgery. To be honest, how come I didn¡¯t know Xiao Chen could perform heart surgery? No one in your emergency department can, right? Who did he learn from?¡±


    Once this question was raised, the several giants were immediately surprised!


    Yeah!


    Who did Xiao Chen learn heart surgery from?


    In the entire Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s emergency surgery department, there wasn¡¯t a single person who was proficient in or even knew how to perform cardiac surgery!

 Chapter 331 - Chapter 331: Chapter 332: A Great Harvest, Oh What a Great Harvest!

    Chapter 331: Chapter 332: A Great Harvest, Oh What a Great Harvest!


    Born with knowledge?


    This isn¡¯t a joke, okay!


    Everyone looked curiously at Chen Cang, but only Li Baoshan, contemplatively, said, ¡°He chose the field of cardiothoracic surgery for his graduate studies.¡±


    As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to Li Baoshan, their eyes brimming with questions.


    Wang Xiangjun was even more conflicted, ¡°I remember¡­ isn¡¯t this Chen a undergraduate student?¡±


    Li Baoshan watched Chen Cang¡¯s hands as he repaired the ruptured pericardium, unable to believe that this was a technique Chen Cang had learned recently.


    Chen Cang had absolutely no prior experience with pericardial surgery!


    There was no doubt about that, and Li Baoshan would even guarantee it.


    This was definitely a technique Chen Cang had learned recently.


    Where did he learn it from?


    Other than from the cardiothoracic surgery department at Dongda First Hospital, where else?


    Unable to help himself, Li Baoshan said, ¡°The hospital arranged a sponsored graduate program spot for him this year, and Chen found himself a mentor at Dongda Hospital, currently learning cardiothoracic surgery.¡±


    Wang Xiangjun asked with curiosity, ¡°Is his mentor Director Xia Gaofeng?¡±


    Li Baoshan shook his head, ¡°No, it¡¯s the newly arrived Director Meng Xi.¡±


    At this revelation, the atmosphere quieted down immediately.


    Tao Zi¡¯s complexion turned somewhat ugly, for after all¡­ he was a cardiothoracic surgery expert, a well-known figure in the cardiothoracic field throughout Dongyang Province.


    However, when Chen Cang was selecting a mentor in cardiothoracic surgery, he had not chosen him, which somewhat displeased Tao Zi internally.


    It would have been a different matter if he were unable to take on graduate students, but the key point was that Tao Zi had specifically applied for a spot this year, definitely intending to select someone.


    If he had known earlier that Chen intended to study in the field of cardiothoracic surgery, he would have taken Chen under his wing, even if it risked offending Qian Liang!


    Everyone knew about Chen¡¯s talent in the field of surgery.


    It would not be an exaggeration to say that such talent was unparalleled, certainly a rare find in Dongyang Province!


    So, compared to an outstanding successor, social niceties could be overlooked.


    However, at this moment, Zhang Youfu suddenly remarked, ¡°Um¡­ haven¡¯t the new students just started over a month ago? How much could he possibly learn in a month? Isn¡¯t cardiothoracic surgery said to start at a third-level operation? Has Chen Cang¡­ learned it that quickly?¡±


    Tao Zi shook his head, ¡°No, classes have started less than half a month ago, and the new students only found their mentors and reported to them after October!¡±


    At these words, the five fell utterly silent!


    Whether it be the prideful Zhang Youfu or the man from behind the red walls, Wang Xiangjun, they all gazed at Chen Cang¡¯s surgery with faces full of astonishment.


    The delicate suturing technique, the adept repairing of the damaged pericardial tissue, the diligent handling of tears within the pericardial cavity, and the meticulous attention to any detail that could potentially affect the function of the pericardium and the heart, all reflected a thorough contemplation.


    This¡­ how could this resemble a cardiothoracic surgeon who had only learned surgery for half a month?


    This was surely the attitude of a cardiothoracic surgery expert in their fifties!


    Why say this?


    Medicine is a profound discipline, one with a high ceiling.


    The more surgeries you perform doesn¡¯t mean they become simpler; on the contrary, the more experienced you become, the more complex your work will be, because with each bit of growth and improvement, your understanding increases, and you¡¯ll see many areas for potential refinement, leading you to focus more on the details.


    And the way Chen Cang conducted himself was like a cardiothoracic surgery master in his fifties, treating each surgery with extreme caution and care!


    This was a show of ability!


    The more they thought about it, the more terrifying they found it.


    Just how high could this young man¡¯s ceiling be?


    Where was the future for this young man?


    As for Tao Zi, the more he thought, the more aggrieved and disheartened he felt. Could it be that Chen Cang didn¡¯t choose him because he thought Tao Zi wasn¡¯t skilled enough?


    Thinking this, the director in his fifties nearly felt unbearably bitter.


    It reminded him of his childhood, when the teacher would hand out little red flowers,


    Giving them to others but not to him!


    As time ticked by every second.


    The surgery neared its end.


    Inside the operating theater, Chen Cang was the sole focus.


    The surgery was quickly completed.


    However, at this moment, Chen Cang turned to Xiao Lin and said, ¡°Antibiotics.¡±


    For this kind of surgery outside the operating room, Chen Cang still had to be cautious and careful.


    After all, infection was no small matter, as it directly related to the success rate of the surgery.


    After successfully injecting some antibiotics, Chen Cang began the finishing work.


    Zhang Tao was feeling a mix of shock and delight at this time!


    He hadn¡¯t expected Chen Cang to actually pull it off.


    Cardiothoracic surgery, pericardial diaphragmatic hernia repair, was also a somewhat difficult surgery.


    But Little Chen had done it!


    ¡°Little Chen¡± had been called by everyone for over two years, it looked like ¡°Little Chen¡± would have to change his name in the future.


    Zhang Tao felt that he no longer had the strength to call Chen Cang ¡°Little Chen.¡±


    In any circle, it was strength that was respected, and this was even more the case in the medical field.


    Meng Xi was several years younger than Ge Huai, but how did Ge Huai treat Meng Xi?


    He would respectfully call him Director every time!


    Similarly, Jing Ran was in his early thirties, and everyone in the hospital would call him Director Jing, not Dr. Jing, let alone Little Jing.


    Even the director of the cardiothoracic department, Xia Gaofeng, also called him ¡°Director Jing.¡±


    This was strength!


    The more Zhang Tao thought about it, the more complex his feelings grew.


    He was seven or eight years older than Chen Cang.


    And his clinical experience was far more extensive.


    As a senior attending physician, it was truly a dereliction of duty on his part not to have immediately judged the patient¡¯s condition.


    Yet Chen Cang had done it.


    He rapidly assessed the patient¡¯s condition, promptly set up surgery in the emergency room, and conducted the operation efficiently¡­


    This series of actions made Zhang Tao feel as though he was seeing the shadow of Director Li Baoshan.


    This was the peace of mind, the backbone!


    In that moment, Chen Cang, with his true talent, knowledge, and direct action, conquered Zhang Tao.


    After Chen Cang closed the abdominal cavity, he soon received a prompt from the system.


    [Ding! For repairing the pericardial diaphragmatic hernia boss monster, you have received lavish rewards: 1. Level +1; 2. Obtain one pericardial surgery skill; 3. Receive one blue lab coat.]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    It was a jackpot!


    The boss monster had dropped so much loot, Chen Cang was somewhat overwhelmed!


    Chen Cang had not yet had the chance to thoroughly examine his rewards.


    Suddenly, another prompt sounded.


    [Ding! Teaching Task: Tao Zi¡¯s teaching task is completed, having completed five pericardial exploratory surgeries, the skill of pericardiotomy is automatically upgraded to: Advanced!]


    [Pericardiotomy: Advanced; Special Effect: Precision Incision: Your incision will be precise and delicate, cleverly opening the pericardium without damaging other surrounding tissues.]


    Chen Cang, seeing the system prompt, was immediately overjoyed!


    Holy cow!


    Teacher Meng Xi, you just wait for Chen to surprise you, and I will do it tomorrow!


    No, that¡¯s not right!


    I¡¯m going to achieve it tonight!


    Recalling the task of surprising Teacher Meng Xi, Chen Cang immediately felt full of ambition.


    PS: Well¡­for now, three updates, haha, will continue at noon tomorrow, and lastly, as always, I humbly ask for your monthly votes, thank you~

 Chapter 332 - Chapter 332: Chapter 333: Worth it!

    Chapter 332: Chapter 333: Worth it!


    ¡°How¡¯s the contact with the family going?¡± Chen Cang turned and asked.


    ¡°They¡¯re here, already waiting at the door, and leaders from the bus company have come as well,¡± Nurse Xiao Yan said.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Mmm, thanks for the hard work.¡±


    After finishing, Chen Cang still felt some concern and, looking at Liu Jian, said sincerely, ¡°Teacher Liu, I¡¯m troubling you with this.¡±


    The surgery for intrathoracic hernia certainly required a professional anesthetist, and Liu Jian was one of the best.


    Upon receiving Chen Cang¡¯s call, Liu Jian had just finished an operation and came over without a second word.


    Truth be told, Liu Jian himself did not know why he trusted Chen Cang so much!


    Even when Chen Cang mentioned performing surgery in the emergency room, Liu Jian did not hesitate and immediately began preparations.


    After witnessing Chen Cang¡¯s surgery once again, Liu Jian couldn¡¯t help but wipe off his sweat.


    It was a bit hot, but what was more overwhelming was a sense of relief.


    He knew the dangers of an intrathoracic hernia, but it was precisely because of this that he understood how formidable Chen Cang was.


    He couldn¡¯t judge the pros and cons of the surgery, after all, he wasn¡¯t a specialist!


    But he was aware of how difficult it was to quickly identify an intrathoracic hernia and then promptly organize an emergency room surgery¡ªthe entire sequence from diagnosis to rescue to successful operation.


    Liu Jian had seen more than one case of intrathoracic hernia, but¡­ how many could be discovered early and treated in time?


    He had a good idea!


    When he saw the purple heart, Liu Jian was filled with trepidation.


    If they were to follow the normal procedure, from processing admission to getting a leader¡¯s signature, to the operating room¡¯s agreement and finally to the surgery¡­


    How long would that take?


    The patient simply couldn¡¯t wait that long!


    Chen Cang was about to turn around when he suddenly saw five ¡°strong men¡± staring intently at him from behind.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but take a step back, accidentally bumping into Qin Yue.


    Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile, ¡°Director¡­ what brings you here?¡±


    At that moment, Li Baoshan was in no mood to be angry, having witnessed Chen Cang perform a very critical emergency surgery and save a life. How could he possibly be upset!?


    Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang quietly, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, then smiled, ¡°Director, you would do the same.¡±


    This comment made Li Baoshan¡¯s face turn red for a rare moment.


    Because to be honest, if he asked himself whether he could diagnose in time and quickly take this series of emergency measures¡­?


    That would be difficult.


    But since Chen Cang had said it¡­ he couldn¡¯t let down the expectations Chen Cang had of him, could he?


    With this thought, Li Baoshan quietly hummed in agreement.


    This simple ¡°hm¡± was unremarkable, yet it filled Wang Xiangjun, also a director of the emergency department, with¡­ doubt and wariness!


    Was Li Baoshan that capable?


    Thinking this, Wang Xiangjun swallowed hard.


    When on earth did you, Li ¡°Black Coal,¡± sneak in extra study?


    Had he become too complacent?


    Wang Xiangjun made up his mind that after he left, he would definitely strengthen the talent cultivation and infrastructure of the emergency department at Dongda Hospital and, at the same time¡­ he needed to make progress himself.


    Look at the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital now; facing an intrathoracic hernia, they could handle it independently, without the need to communicate with other departments.


    This was a manifestation of strength.


    Thinking about this, Wang Xiangjun felt he might have become somewhat complacent over the years.


    ¡°This Li Heitan is really amazing!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded slightly to the various directors in greeting, and when he arrived at Tao Zi¡¯s side,


    Chen Cang said with a smile, ¡°Hello, Teacher Tao.¡±


    Tao Zi huffed coldly, his face wearing his displeasure and unhappiness like a child, ¡°I have things to do, I¡¯m leaving first.¡±


    This left several directors staring, dumbfounded.


    Even Li Baoshan was taken aback, ¡°Chen, what did you do to upset Director Tao?¡±


    Chen Cang looked bewildered, ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t do anything?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When Sun Baomin opened his eyes, he took a deep breath.


    He felt like he had been asleep, dreaming of being pinned down, his heart clenched tightly in someone¡¯s grip; his heartbeat speeding up, breath failing to come¡­


    For the first time, he felt as if he was about to die, a sensation almost indistinguishable from death itself.


    On the brink of death!


    Was this what dying felt like?


    But at that moment, he faintly felt someone opening his chest, giving him¡­


    Though he was unconscious, the feeling of being saved was incredibly real, like a drowning person suddenly being rescued to shore, having the water pumped from their stomach, receiving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation¡­


    Saved¡­


    ¡­


    Upon opening his eyes, the first person Sun Baomin saw was a young man, not very old, smiling kindly at him.


    Sun Baomin looked up, tried to speak, but found it difficult; the pain in his chest reminded him that he was still alive.


    In this world, there are two types of pain: one that sharpens awareness, the other that breeds fear.


    At that moment, the pain Sun Baomin felt brought clarity.


    Chen Cang turned to face a middle-aged woman in her forties, speaking lightly, ¡°The surgery was very successful, but his condition is still not stable. We need to move him to the ICU for observation for a few days.¡±


    The woman, watching Sun Baomin lying on the bed, her tears streaming down unabated, was terrified thinking about the waiting outside and the information she¡¯d received from others.


    She couldn¡¯t bear to imagine what the family would become if anything happened to Sun Baomin.


    She couldn¡¯t imagine how she would cope if she lost her husband.


    Helplessness!


    Seeing Sun Baomin open his eyes, those familiar eyes, she knew that her husband was going to be alright.


    For no apparent reason, the woman¡¯s knees gave way, and she knelt down, sobbing uncontrollably.


    ¡°Doctor, thank you, thank you so much, you¡¯re our family¡¯s lifesaver¡­¡±


    Sun Baomin watched his wife¡¯s outburst, tears streaming down, dampening the pillow towels on both sides.


    Chen Cang helped the woman up, ¡°It¡¯s all right, it¡¯s all right, big sister, stand up. We still need to talk¡­¡±


    Sun Baomin was taken to the ICU for observation and might require less than a week of post-op monitoring. The emergency room surgery had its risks, and having nurses on hand in the ICU would make resuscitating Sun Baomin more convenient, if necessary.


    The leaders of the bus company arrived, and Chen Cang learned of the cause behind Sun Baomin¡¯s incident through the bus¡¯s surveillance footage.


    But when everyone saw how Sun Baomin, drenched in sweat and pale, managed to steady the bus¡¯s steering wheel and drove the vehicle to safety, putting the safety of all passengers first!


    Only upon reaching the stop at the Second Provincial Hospital did he finally park the bus properly!


    But at that point, Sun Baomin could hold on no longer and collapsed at his station.


    At that moment, everyone fell silent, moved by his actions!


    Suddenly, Chen Cang felt all the hardships were worth it!

 Chapter 333 - Chapter 333: Chapter 334: Waiting online, quite urgent!

    Chapter 333: Chapter 334: Waiting online, quite urgent!


    Sun Baomin¡¯s leader saw this scene and was suddenly stunned. After a long while, he sighed!


    This is the true depiction of countless bus drivers!


    It is also the responsibility of countless bus drivers.


    Being a bus driver is just an ordinary occupation. To others, it¡¯s just driving, but the burden they carry is equally heavy.


    And Sun Baomin is the representative of those countless bus drivers.


    The old leader sighed, truly touched inside, and turned to look at the senior management of the bus company behind him, ¡°Let¡¯s prepare when we get back. We can¡¯t let Sun down. Also¡­ let¡¯s transfer Sun to a nice position¡­¡±


    After finishing his words, he looked at Sun Baomin¡¯s wife and sighed again: ¡°Sun¡¯s problem is our bus company¡¯s problem!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Such incidents are constantly happening in the emergency ward, and it¡¯s not that bus drivers are so great¡ªit¡¯s the same in every profession.


    They are ordinary people, at ordinary posts, doing seemingly ordinary, yet extraordinary things.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue slowly walked outside.


    After hesitating for a long time, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I heard Little Lin say¡­ you accompanied Sun Baomin for the filming?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled for a moment, then smiled, ¡°No worries! Just think of it as having taken an X-ray.¡±


    Qin Yue didn¡¯t know why she brought it up, but still couldn¡¯t help wanting to remind Chen Cang.


    ¡°Well, once or twice doesn¡¯t matter, but don¡¯t go in every time.¡±


    Chen Cang was suddenly bewildered and stopped in his tracks, ¡°Hey, are you worried about me?¡±


    As Chen Cang suddenly stopped, Qin Yue bumped into him again, her eyes widening and her nose wrinkling as she heard him say that, ¡°Heh¡­¡±


    Chen Cang stood there, looking at the wet Qin Yue, and coughed, ¡°Your clothes are wet, go and change.¡±


    Qin Yue looked down and suddenly saw her underclothes were soaked through, and even the white coat was clinging to her body, her face turning red as she rushed to the duty room.


    Chen Cang stroked his chin, contemplating as he watched the distant figure, and couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Ah¡­ dressing is really important!¡±


    Chang Lina approached at some point, looking at Chen Cang with a suggestive smile, ¡°How about it, she has a good figure, doesn¡¯t she?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded seriously, ¡°Yeah! You¡¯re right, you really can¡¯t tell normally!¡±


    Chang Lina had a knowing look, and whispered in Chen Cang¡¯s ear sneakily, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you a secret!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes bulged out, full of gossip, ¡°What?¡±


    Chang Lina also had an expressive smile, ¡°Qin Yue is quite something¡­ It¡¯s just that she doesn¡¯t like to wear form-fitting clothes normally.¡±


    Chen Cang turned around, ¡°How do you know?¡±


    Chang Lina, ¡°Do you want to know?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded earnestly and devoutly.


    Chang Lina sighed, ¡°Ah, with the recent increase in pork prices, it¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve had something tasty!¡±


    Chen Cang pulled out Meituan, ¡°You order! I¡¯ll pay!¡±


    As soon as Chang Lina heard there was a chance, her eyes lit up, and she patted Chen Cang¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Okay, but if you add one more meal, I¡¯ll send you a photo.¡±


    When Chen Cang heard there were photos, he gritted his teeth, ¡°Deal!¡±


    Chang Lina took out her phone, whispered to herself, ¡°Qin Yue, oh Qin Yue, don¡¯t blame your sister for selling you out for glory, it¡¯s just that pork is too expensive¡­¡±


    Actually, Chang Lina didn¡¯t just want to have a meal; she wanted to set up Chen Cang with Qin Yue.


    Chen Cang was a decent guy, and now that he had stable work and a good income, they would make a fine match¡ªa talented man and a beautiful woman, such a good pair!


    The saying goes, ¡®don¡¯t let the precious water flow into others¡¯ fields.¡¯ It would be a pity for someone as good as Qin Yue to end up with someone else.


    With that thought, Chang Lina sent Chen Cang a photo of her and Qin Yue practicing yoga together.


    After sending it, she looked cautious and serious, ¡°You can¡¯t betray me, can you?¡±


    Chen Cang, after receiving the photo, stared wide-eyed, the word ¡°fuck¡± nearly escaping his lips without actually coming out!


    This¡­ the difference is too big, right?


    ¡°I won¡¯t betray you! I won¡¯t betray you! Are there more photos?¡± Chen Cang felt he didn¡¯t know Qin Yue well enough!


    Chang Lina¡¯s eyes shone, selling once was selling, selling ten times was still selling, and while there was still a market, she might as well make the most of it!


    ¡°There are¡­ but we¡¯ll talk about it when I want to eat something in the future.¡±


    With that, Chang Lina strutted away.


    Chen Cang held the photo, clicking his tongue in wonder!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Back in the office, Chen Cang opened up his gains for the day.


    [White Lab Coat: Blue Quality; Attributes: Radiation -5; Stamina +2;]


    Looking at the system prompt, Chen Cang was slightly taken aback.


    Stamina +2 was very easy to understand.


    But¡­ Radiation -5, that was intriguing.


    It made sense; eating the rays reduced by fifty percent was already awesome.


    Cardiothoracic surgery had many procedures that needed to be conducted under fluoroscopy, whether for interventional treatment or assessment.


    And with this 50% attenuation provided by the lab coat, it was already very frightening.


    Lead aprons could reduce radiation, but you weren¡¯t wearing lead aprons all the time.


    Good!


    A very nice attribute.


    And most importantly, it was very practical.


    There was also a Skill Book for pericardial type surgery.


    [Pericardial System Skill Book: Master Level; upon opening, randomly gain one unowned pericardial surgery skill.]


    Another pericardial surgery Skill Book, Chen Cang felt at ease, he hadn¡¯t even started on the heart, and yet he was about to conquer all things pericardial.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang casually opened it.


    [Ding! Acquired: Pericardial Decortication Surgery! Master Level; Would you like to start special training?]


    Chen Cang was delighted. Pericardial decortication?


    Delicious!


    He already had the pericardiectomy, advanced level!


    He had the pericardial repair, master level!


    And now he also had the pericardial decortication, also at the master level!


    With all this, what pericardial surgery could possibly stump him?


    The more Chen Cang thought about it, the happier he became.


    The garment for the heart: If he was conquering the pericardium, could the heart be far behind?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Tao Zi returned to the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, feeling somewhat sullen.


    When Qian Lin saw his teacher come back, he hurriedly scurried over, ¡°Teacher! You¡¯re back? Was the surgery successful?¡±


    Tao Zi glanced at Qian Lin, thought about Chen Cang, felt a bit disheartened, but he still nodded and hummed, ¡°Uh-huh!¡±


    At that moment, the department¡¯s physician Wang Liang came over, praised him saying, ¡°Director Tao, Little Qian¡¯s surgical talent is really not bad; today he¡¯s already capable of performing pericardial puncture.¡±


    Tao Zi looked at Qian Lin and then at Wang Liang.


    He wanted to say something but could only shake his head.


    It¡¯s not that one fears not knowing the goods, it¡¯s the fear of comparing them to better ones!


    Chen Cang was already performing surgeries for pericardial diaphragmatic hernia independently, while Little Qian had just started touching on pericardial punctures.


    Really¡­


    Alas!


    Why does my heart feel pain?


    No, I have to find Chen Cang for a chat one of these days, why wouldn¡¯t he consider me as a teacher, I just taught him how to do pericardial opening surgery a few days ago¡­


    Director Tao Zi felt very aggrieved inside.


    The look in his eyes when he saw Qian Lin was¡­ complicated.


    He picked up his phone, wanting to post on his circle of friends:


    ¡°This student is kind of dumb, want to throw him out, want to abandon him, want to expel him from my tutelage, what should I do? Online and waiting, kind of urgent!¡±

 Chapter 334 - Chapter 334: Chapter 335: Are You Just Looking for an Excuse to Kick Me Out?

    Chapter 334: Chapter 335: Are You Just Looking for an Excuse to Kick Me Out?


    Qian Lin thought it over and over, but still didn¡¯t understand his teacher¡¯s expression.


    It always seemed a bit odd!


    A little displeased, a bit helpless, and even seemed like he had something to say but held back¡­


    Thinking of this, Qian Lin hurriedly said, ¡°Teacher¡­ What¡¯s this about?¡±


    Tao Zi waved his hand, ¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡±


    Suddenly, Tao Zi remembered that Qian Lin and Chen Cang were in the same cohort and his eyes lit up, ¡°Xiao Qian, come here, I want to ask you something.¡±


    Qian Lin immediately became excited, could it be that the teacher was going to have a heart-to-heart with him?


    With that thought, Qian Lin¡¯s eyes shone: ¡°Teacher, please ask!¡±


    Tao Zi suddenly asked, ¡°I want to ask you something, do you know Chen Cang? He¡¯s a graduate student like you, from this year¡¯s class.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Lin wished he could share everything he knew: ¡°Yeah, yeah, I know him, we¡¯re in the same class and have a great relationship!¡±


    Tao Zi also became interested, ¡°Oh¡­ So, how much do you know about Chen Cang? Who is his mentor?¡±


    Qian Lin was thrilled to hear the teacher ask this question; this was his area of expertise!


    Qian Lin knew firsthand the process of Chen Cang choosing Meng Xi as his mentor, so he smiled slightly, ¡°I know, teacher! You¡¯ve asked the right person. You should know that I was there when Chen Cang was taking Meng Xi as his mentor. Let me tell you about it!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang¡¯s mentor is Director Meng Xi, 30 years old this year, graduated from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden with a Doctor of Medicine¡­¡±


    Tao Zi, of course, knew who Meng Xi was, and hearing Qian Lin¡¯s embellished introduction, he hurriedly interjected, ¡°Hold on, hold on, isn¡¯t Chen Cang¡¯s mentor Xia Gaofeng?¡±


    Qian Lin was stunned, ¡°Of course not!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang went straight to Director Meng! Let me tell you, at that time, the situation was like this¡­¡±


    Thus, the events of the day unfolded through Qian Lin¡¯s narration, much like listening to a novel; tales of English handoff translations, the superhuman vascular suturing technique, the sharp diagnostic skills¡­


    Tao Zi listened and was completely confused, asking incredulously, ¡°Is what you¡¯re saying true?¡±


    Qian Lin immediately nodded, ¡°Of course it¡¯s true, you should have seen Director Xia¡¯s face at the time!¡±


    Speaking of this, Qian Lin said, ¡°At that time, Chen Cang¡¯s vascular suturing was faster than Ge Huai, a student already graduated and retained by the hospital under Director Xia. His skill level was really impressive. But he chose Meng Xi as his mentor!¡±


    ¡°When I saw Director Xia Gaofeng¡¯s expression, he was so envious it was intolerable, he was almost at the point of snatching Chen Cang away! Just like¡­¡±


    At this point, Qian Lin suddenly stopped!


    Because he realized that his teacher Tao Zi¡¯s current expression was all too familiar!


    It was as if he had seen it somewhere before!


    It seemed¡­ very similar to the expression of Director Xia Gaofeng back then!


    At this thought, Qian Lin¡¯s heart started to panic tremendously!


    ¡°My teacher wants to abandon me, what should I do? I¡¯m waiting online, it¡¯s urgent¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After half a day of contemplation, Tao Zi suddenly relaxed quite a bit, after all¡­ Chen Cang hadn¡¯t chosen Xia Gaofeng!


    That made everything alright!


    As for that Xiao Meng, well¡­ It¡¯s said that Meng Xi isn¡¯t married yet, and is quite pretty.


    Thinking it over, Tao Zi suddenly felt relieved.


    The reason must lie right here.


    After all, with Chen being so outstanding and so skilled, does he need a mentor?


    If it¡¯s not for some other reason, why would he choose Meng Xi as his mentor?


    With this thought, Tao Zi suddenly felt much better, and breathed a sigh of relief with a clear and refreshed mind.


    Chen Cang¡¯s gaze softened a lot as he watched Qian Lin, ¡°That¡¯s pretty good, Qian, not bad at all. You¡¯ve quickly mastered the pericardial puncture technique. Excellent! Tomorrow, follow me into surgery.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Lin felt somewhat nervous and looked at Tao Zi with a mixture of belief and doubt, ¡°Teacher, are you really trying to find an excuse to kick me out?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang was in a good mood.


    Fortune brings a lighter heart. Seeing each of his pericardial surgeries performed by either advanced or master-level practitioners, Chen Cang had to admit he felt somewhat inflated with pride.


    The only downside was the night shift tonight, as he wouldn¡¯t be able to show off at the First Hospital of Dongda.


    Thinking about it, Chen Cang decided to endure it.


    Just before his shift ended, Chen Cang accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, which made his heart skip a beat.


    Holy crap!


    Why is it him!?


    Yes, tonight Chen Cang had to work the night shift alongside Dr. Yan Ming.


    This thought alone was enough to make Chen Cang¡¯s heart flutter uncontrollably.


    There is a saying in the emergency department that holds true: fear not a god-like opponent but dread a pig-like teammate.


    Encountering Yan Ming, Chen Cang really felt like cursing out loud.


    But¡­ never mind!


    Keep calm and carry on, and be extra vigilant in case something comes up.


    It wasn¡¯t that Chen Cang harbored too much prejudice against Yan Ming, but rather that this doctor really seemed somewhat irresponsible¡­


    As night fell, Chen Cang had a takeout meal and then began to round the rooms one by one.


    This was a habit Chen Bingsheng had taught Chen Cang ¨C no matter the situation, before you start work on the night shift, you must thoroughly understand your patients.


    You have to know them inside out!


    Because this way, even if something out of the ordinary happens, you could adjust quickly.


    And don¡¯t forget to give a few words of explanation to the patients, after all, they don¡¯t understand their illnesses.


    Chen Bingsheng was very good at this; he had a firm grasp of all the information about his patients. It wasn¡¯t because of an extraordinary memory that he never forgot anything.


    It was because he was so focused and serious about his patients, analyzing any new indicator for a long time, that he became so adept.


    This was a good habit Chen Cang had learned from old Chen.


    After busily going through his rounds, it was nearly ten o¡¯clock.


    Just as Chen Cang was about to head back to the office, he happened to see Yan Ming sitting at the nurse¡¯s station with a thermos cup, chatting and laughing with the nurses. Chang Lina was working on the side.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to intervene, but remembering a patient during the rounds who seemed to have been admitted today with a heart attack, he couldn¡¯t help but give a reminder.


    ¡°Dr. Yan, keep an eye on patient in bed 13, he was admitted today with acute angina. Make sure nothing goes wrong.¡±


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Yan Ming gave a faint smile and nodded lightly, ¡°All right, Chen, I¡¯ll go and have a look in a bit.¡±


    After saying that, he continued his jovial chat with the nurses.


    Chen Cang shook his head and walked toward his office.


    It must be said, if you set aside professional and other aspects, Yan Ming, as an older man, had that uncle-like appearance, a friendly demeanor, and a sense of humor. He was unhurried in his actions and never raised his voice. To the nurses, he was always beaming with smiles, generally pleasing to be around.


    In comparison, Chen Cang realized that he had picked up a bad habit from Chen Bingsheng ¨C sometimes in a rush, he tended to call on people abruptly.


    This calling out might be unintentional, simply out of urgency to provide quick assistance, but¡­ it easily offended people.


    After all, not everyone can understand you!


    Chen Cang, unconcerned, shook his head and returned to the ward.

 Chapter 335 - Chapter 335: Chapter 336: The Friendship of Revolution

    Chapter 335: Chapter 336: The Friendship of Revolution


    ¡°`


    At 2:30 in the early morning, Chen Cang was sitting in front of the computer, holding his phone, deeply engrossed in those films that had no plot but were full of genuine, flesh-and-blood action.


    Who knows how much time had passed, a video of over thirty minutes had ended, and Chen Cang had obviously been fast-forwarding through it.


    After all, who would watch such content second by second? Not only is it tiring, but you wouldn¡¯t get to see many videos that way.


    Feeling slightly unfulfilled, Chen Cang stretched languidly, took a deep breath, and thought, ¡°That was so good to watch!¡±


    ¡°The surgery was truly well done!¡±


    The only downside was that high-definition versions really eat into the data allowance.


    Thinking of that, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel heartache for his data plan.


    Generally speaking, there are two feelings around this time: either too sleepy and wanting to sleep or too hungry and wanting to eat something.


    Chen Cang got up to stretch his legs, realizing it wasn¡¯t good for his health to be huddled there watching videos all the time.


    After moving around a bit, Chen Cang decided either to take a nap or order some takeout.


    Once he stepped out, he found the two young nurses at the nurses¡¯ station scrolling through TikTok, with familiar rhythmic sounds in the background.


    Yan Ming had long since vanished to catch some sleep.


    Besides, as a middle-aged man, Doctor Yan understood the importance of taking care of one¡¯s health.


    Chen Cang wanted to go back and sleep as well, but then he thought about it and felt that Yan Ming was unreliable¡ªwhat if something serious happened while he was asleep?


    Maybe he should eat something.


    Chen Cang exited the emergency hall and stood at the entrance, basking in the night breeze unique to summer, feeling its refreshing coolness¡ªa different sensation from the air-conditioned temperature of the operating room.


    This coolness felt somewhat real.


    As he recognized the emptiness in his stomach, Chen Cang wondered whether or not to order takeout.


    Just as Chen Cang was indecisive, Chang Lina walked out.


    ¡°Why are you outside?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Just getting some fresh air.¡±


    Chang Lina suddenly tempted him, ¡°Do you feel like having some late-night snacks? Maybe some¡­ skewers or something?¡±


    Chang Lina¡¯s words instantly shattered the thin veneer of willpower Chen Cang had against the lure of yummy snacks.


    Though his mouth said no, his hand involuntarily reached for the phone to open the Meituan app.


    At that moment, it seemed Chang Lina had prepared, opening her Meituan app and sighing, ¡°Ah, it¡¯s so expensive. At this hour, the minimum order starts at thirty to forty yuan, and there¡¯s an additional five yuan delivery fee.¡±


    Her words suddenly made Chen Cang feel that it was quite good to endure, not eating could save a decent amount of money.


    With this in mind, Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°Actually, eating at this time isn¡¯t good for health, I¡¯ll go sleep for a bit.¡±


    Chang Lina drawled, ¡°Ah, I was just going to send you a photo of Qin Yue, alas¡­ I¡¯m drained now, what should I do?¡±


    Even the iron-willed Chen Cang suddenly turned around, ¡°Come on, I¡¯m hungry too, perfect timing, I¡¯ll treat, you order.¡±


    Chang Lina heard this, ¡°I didn¡¯t threaten you, you know!¡±


    Chen Cang declared with nobility, ¡°This is revolutionary friendship between us.¡±


    Spending over fifty yuan, they got two servings of iron plate fried rice, seven or eight grilled gluten sticks, and a dozen assorted snacks, which was quite a feast.


    However, there seems to be an eternal mystery in emergency departments: the sleepier one is, or the more one is about to enjoy a meal, the more likely it is for a special emergency case to appear!


    After having his fill, Chen Cang suddenly felt an overwhelming wave of drowsiness.


    Chen Cang looked at Chang Lina and cautioned, ¡°I¡¯ll take a nap, keep an eye out for me, and wake me up if something comes up.¡±


    Chen Cang laid down in the emergency surgery duty room and fell asleep in less than ten minutes.


    Chang Lina was an experienced nurse and sat at the front desk dealing with some miscellaneous tasks, completing the handover records that were left behind.


    Around three or four o¡¯clock, an elderly lady suddenly approached.


    ¡°Nurse, nurse!¡±


    ¡°`


    Lina Chang turned around and saw the old woman standing there, looking somewhat anxious.


    The elderly lady was admitted yesterday afternoon for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and after treatment, had greatly improved. Lina Chang thought the old woman might be feeling unwell and hastily asked,


    ¡°Old granny, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    The old woman quickly said, ¡°This, the patient in bed 13 next to me has disappeared; it¡¯s been half an hour.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lina Chang¡¯s face instantly changed, and she rushed toward the ward of bed 13 in long strides.


    Lina Chang¡¯s first reaction was to kneel down and look under the bed.


    Not there!


    She immediately ran to the bathroom, but when she pushed on the door, she found it blocked from the inside.


    Lina Chang called out urgently, ¡°Is Luo Guohua from bed 13 in there?¡±


    All six patients in the room woke up.


    It was a large room with only one bathroom, so when they heard Lina Chang knocking, they were all jolted awake.


    When Lina Chang got no response, she carefully pushed the door with more force.


    Suddenly, a man in his sixties was lying inside.


    Lina Chang¡¯s face changed!


    Bed 13 was an emergency internal medicine case, and Lina Chang hurried to the office door of Yan Ming, continuously knocking!


    ¡°Doctor Yan, Doctor Yan!¡±


    The knocking went on for over a dozen times, ¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡± But the door did not open, and Lina Chang¡¯s face changed again as she quickly rushed to the emergency department¡¯s external office. She had just knocked twice when


    Chen Cang quickly rolled out of bed and got up to open the door.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Cang rubbed his eyes, somewhat groggy.


    Lina Chang was direct, ¡°The patient from bed 13 has fainted in the bathroom.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t know the patient in bed 13 well, as the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital has a clear division between internal and external systems. Although they share a nurse station and a resuscitation room, many of the internal medicine patients are managed by physicians from the internal medicine side.


    Otherwise, there would be no need to have separate duty doctors for internal and external departments.


    The step taken by Li Baoshan was meant to ensure that in the event of an emergency, the departments of internal medicine and surgery could collaborate and handle various emergency situations together.


    Chen Cang¡¯s awareness of the patient¡¯s condition was limited to a few questions asked during the earlier ward round,


    and the handover notes from Zhang Shu.


    That was all!


    Chen Cang rushed to the ward; at that moment, the patient¡¯s pants had fallen to his knees, and he had collapsed on the ground, his life hanging by a thread!


    Chen Cang broke out in a cold sweat with fear!


    Heart attack!


    Defecation!


    Fainting shock!


    These few terms could form a horrific diagnosis, and thinking this, Chen Cang hurriedly called out to the nurse, ¡°Help me lift the patient out first!¡±


    Lina Chang nodded. As a seasoned emergency department warrior, she didn¡¯t hesitate for a second and quickly lent a hand.


    It took them a minute to carry the patient onto the stretcher.


    Chen Cang was clear-headed, ¡°To the resuscitation room!¡±


    Lina Chang followed Chen Cang, and all the resting nurses were called to action, yet the on-duty doctor, Yan Ming, seemed completely oblivious.


    At that moment, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t afford to assign blame; getting to the resuscitation room to check on the patient¡¯s condition was the priority.


    The resuscitation room quickly began to prepare.

 Chapter 336 - Chapter 336: Chapter 337: Do You Deserve It?

    Chapter 336: Chapter 337: Do You Deserve It?


    ¡°`


    The patient still had a heartbeat, and their breathing was very weak, but because of the fainting, they had lost consciousness.


    Chen Cang called out to the nurse, ¡°Cardiac monitor!¡±


    ¡°Contact the ICU and cardiology department for an emergency consultation!¡±


    All the nurses, like soldiers, instantly threw themselves into their work.


    Chen Cang turned to look at Chang Lina, his expression dark, ¡°Go call Yan Ming.¡±


    Chang Lina nodded and turned to go.


    Yan Ming, this guy, really is too irresponsible.


    Thinking about this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but want to punch him, really a fucking idiot!


    He told him to go on rounds, to have a sense of what was happening with the patients, to instruct them carefully, but he just wouldn¡¯t check.


    Now look what¡¯s happened!


    ¡­


    But now was not the time to get emotional.


    All resuscitation efforts had already begun.


    ¡°Tracheal intubation established and connected to the ventilator.¡±


    At this point, the results from the cardiac monitor appeared.


    Just seeing the screen, Chen Cang suddenly freaked out.


    There was a heartbeat just a moment ago, wasn¡¯t there?


    How is it gone?


    Chen Cang was terrified all at once.


    How could the heart just suddenly stop?


    Could it be cardiogenic shock?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang¡¯s scalp began to tingle for no apparent reason.


    The mortality rate for cardiogenic shock was too high.


    At this moment, they knew nothing about the patient¡¯s condition, but what needed to be done now was not to find out more, it was to resuscitate!


    Chen Cang broke out in a cold sweat and hastily turned to the nurses and said,


    ¡°Adrenaline!¡±


    ¡°Suction secretions!¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang immediately started CPR.


    After a few cycles, the patient¡¯s heartbeat still hadn¡¯t recovered.


    At that moment, Doctor Zhao Jianhai from the ICU ran over.


    Seeing the situation, his face turned pale, ¡°Get the defibrillator ready!¡±


    When Chen Cang saw Zhao Jianhai, he nodded at once, ¡°Teacher Zhao, you¡¯re here!¡±


    Zhao Jianhai nodded, ¡°Hmm!¡±


    The two of them hurried to organize the rescue.


    Defibrillation!


    CPR!


    Bag valve mask oxygenation!


    After two cycles, Yan Ming finally arrived, yawning and standing on one side, staring dumbfounded at everything.


    The patient lay motionless on the resuscitation bed.


    Chen Cang was performing external chest compressions by himself.


    The tracheal tube was in place, and the ventilator was already connected.


    One nurse took care of administering drugs, another was responsible for suctioning secretions.


    Yan Ming realized what had happened and his face turned ashen.


    Chen Cang was already drenched in sweat by then, fortunately having eaten something; he had the strength to continue the chest compressions for so long, otherwise, he really didn¡¯t know if he could keep up.


    Chen Cang turned around, saw Yan Ming, and without time to blame him, said, ¡°Hurry up and contact the family!¡±


    Chang Lina nodded and rushed to the nurses¡¯ station to make the call.


    Another young nurse had already called the cardiologist over.


    Seeing Chen Cang exhausted, Yan Ming couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Let me do it; you take a break.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were bloodshot; they had been resuscitating for over ten minutes, but the patient had shown no response, and Chen Cang felt unresolved.


    Upon hearing Yan Ming speak, Chen Cang didn¡¯t even look up, just continued the compressions.


    He shouted out angrily with just a single word!


    ¡°GET OUT!¡±


    That single word contained all of Chen Cang¡¯s resentment, all of his frustration.


    You fucking call yourself a doctor, an emergency doctor?


    Do you have any shame?


    Can¡¯t you have a little sense of responsibility?


    At this moment, Chang Lina brought the patient¡¯s medical records over.


    ¡°62-year-old male, chest pain for one hour upon arrival at the hospital, an ECG was done showing significant ST-T segment changes, blood tests for troponin were still normal; patient has a history of hypertension, chest pain this time considering the possibility of acute coronary syndrome.¡±


    Chen Cang and Zhao Jianhai couldn¡¯t help but glance at each other.


    An elderly male with chest pain, heart attack must be the first consideration.


    This was a very simple emergency medicine thought process.


    ¡°`


    The reason the patient was kept for hospitalization was definitely out of concern for an acute myocardial infarction. Although troponin levels were normal, the possibility couldn¡¯t be ruled out.


    Now, cardiogenic shock had set in¡­


    The consequences were, by now, unspeakably clear.


    If the patient was confirmed to have a myocardial infarction, severe infarction could instantaneously cause cardiac function to fail. When the heart can¡¯t pump blood, cardiogenic shock occurs, characterized by low blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and feelings of impending death among other symptoms.


    And just the same!


    Once cardiogenic shock happens, it¡¯s a nine out of ten chance of death!


    At this time, the patient had already gone into cardiac arrest.


    Everything had happened too suddenly; no one had time to prepare.


    Chen Cang was still tirelessly performing chest compressions on the patient.


    The nurse administered adrenaline every few minutes, but the heart monitor still showed no improvement.


    The cardiologist arrived, but by then, it was too late.


    All we could do was watch as Zhao Jianhai, Chen Cang, and the nurses went all out in resuscitation!


    At this time, the family had also arrived, one son, and three daughters. They gathered outside the emergency room door, where Chang Lina had already briefed them on the condition.


    All four were fraught with anxiety; even the youngest of the three daughters was already in her forties, while the son was the youngest, just over thirty.


    The boy stood there, his eyes filled with hope.


    The three daughters, on the other hand, had already started to cry.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this time, inside the room, Zhao Jianhai looked up at the clock on the wall. They had been resuscitating for 40 minutes, and it was likely hopeless.


    He couldn¡¯t help but sigh and tugged at Chen Cang, ¡°It¡¯s over.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Chen Cang didn¡¯t stop; instead, he continued a few more compressions.


    But he¡¯s only human!


    After performing compressions for over forty minutes, his arms had lost all sensation.


    When he heard Zhao Jianhai say ¡°It¡¯s over,¡± his expression changed instantly.


    He knew what it meant.


    It meant a living, breathing life had slipped away.


    They say in emergency medicine, you see life and death all the time.


    But when the moment comes, who can truly be heartless?


    Chen Cang had seen many resuscitation failures.


    But even so, when life slipped through his fingers, the helplessness was indescribable!


    A mere ¡°It¡¯s over,¡± might seem ordinary.


    But the words were rife with helplessness.


    ¡­


    Chen Cang leaned in close to the patient, whose face had turned cyanotic, entire body skin purplish, limbs cold, pupils dilated, with the loss of light reflex¡­


    Almost all signs were pointing to one outcome¡­


    This was now a corpse.


    Chen Cang suddenly lost all strength and collapsed to the floor.


    Zhao Jianhai had already stood up and was walking outside to communicate with the family, probably to give them the worst piece of news.


    This was bound to be a very difficult night.


    After all, when the patient was brought in, he was fine, and then, suddenly, he was gone. The family would surely struggle to accept this.


    But such incidents are not infrequent.


    Who could have expected the patient to faint in the bathroom?


    Who could have thought the emergency patient had no one accompanying them?


    Who would have guessed¡­


    Nobody would have guessed!


    Life is so fragile, yet as health care providers, all we can do is give our best to say one more word to the patients, to consider just one more thing for them.


    Patients with myocardial infarction are already in danger and must be constantly reminded.


    Chen Cang stood up, his hands on the bed, but his arms were unstable, and he fell to the ground again.


    Yan Ming didn¡¯t leave; he didn¡¯t even dare to leave. Seeing Chen Cang fall, he moved to help him up.


    Chen Cang suddenly threw a furious punch!


    Right at Yan Ming¡¯s face!


    ¡°You¡¯re not fit to be a doctor!¡±


    Chen Cang, with tears in his eyes and fists clenched, glared at Yan Ming, ¡°Dressed in this white lab coat, do you think you¡¯re worthy of it?¡±


    Yan Ming sat in silence, on the ground, letting the blood from his nose pour out freely.


    What could he say?


    He didn¡¯t attempt to defend himself.


    Would defense make any difference?


    Perhaps this incident really had nothing to do with Yan Ming.


    But, had he truly fulfilled the responsibilities expected of a medical worker?


    ps: Ah¡­ after writing this chapter, I suddenly don¡¯t know what to say. I hope that all medical workers can be worthy of the white coats they wear.

 Chapter 337 - Chapter 337: Chapter 338: Yan Ming Resigns

    Chapter 337: Chapter 338: Yan Ming Resigns


    Perhaps some people feel that, after spending a long time in a clinical setting, one becomes numb to life.


    In fact, it¡¯s not life to which we become numb; it¡¯s a sense of helplessness towards the medical status quo.


    But no matter when, when you face the relentless flow of life¡¯s hourglass, that desire to grasp it as it slips away¡­ that feeling of wanting to save someone but being utterly powerless, it¡¯s truly exhausting.


    Yan Ming didn¡¯t make a sound either, his nosebleed staining his clothes, which he ignored, letting it run onto his white coat.


    A complex mixture of feelings.


    Sitting there, his gaze was hollow, his mind brimming with countless thoughts.


    His mind kept recalling the various scenes from the past two or three decades.


    Once, wasn¡¯t he just as energetic and positive as Chen Cang, possessing a tenacity towards life?


    But gradually, he found his abilities becoming more and more limited.


    Had he become negative?


    Complacent?


    Or had his heart become numb?


    It was none of these, yet it was all of these.


    Over twenty years¡¯ worth of past events flitted through his mind like a fleeting cloud.


    In the medical disputes of the past, was Yan Ming at fault? He was! But is right and wrong in the medical field really that clearly defined?


    The Yan Ming of yesteryear believed nothing was more important than saving lives.


    Are rules important?


    Back then, he thought many rules were superfluous and even hindered the normal process of medical rescue.


    But later, he realized that the rules were actually there to protect the doctors themselves.


    Looking at Chen Cang¡¯s dejected figure, Yan Ming suddenly felt a surge of guilt.


    He wasn¡¯t guilty because of a patient¡¯s death.


    An acute myocardial infarction is unstoppable, and many have died in hospitals.


    He was guilty because after coming to the emergency department, he had never done what an older generation healthcare worker should do.


    He had been hurt before, felt unfairly punished, worked passively, but¡­ he really shouldn¡¯t let these feelings influence those young doctors who followed in his footsteps.


    Thinking this, Yan Ming sat on the floor, leaning against the bed, and couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply.


    Turning back the clock, Yan Ming felt as if he had returned to that resuscitation room¡­


    That time, to be honest, had deeply wounded Yan Ming¡¯s heart.


    It was a rescue attempt that was doomed from the start, but because of his youth, his recklessness, his unwillingness to give up¡­


    Regrettably¡­ regrettably¡­


    The punishment eventually came down.


    Yan Ming never imagined he would end up being the one at fault.


    His license was revoked for two years; the hospital made a payout, and so did the department.


    For young Yan Ming, this was simply unbelievable!


    Could there really be such a repercussion?


    Was there an error in trying to save someone?


    ¡­


    Over the next two years, he did a lot of things, but he never dared to approach clinical work until the old director invited him back after two years.


    But by then, Yan Ming had already lost the heart he once had for medicine.


    He became disillusioned, with the patients, with the system, and with himself.


    In his subsequent work, Yan Ming was extra cautious, shirking responsibility wherever he could, avoiding trouble whenever possible.


    But when Chen Cang¡¯s punch came, Yan Ming suddenly saw his young self, the anger and frustration he had felt when he saw those idle elderly people.


    He never thought he would fall to this level.


    Reflecting on this, Yan Ming couldn¡¯t help but give a bitter laugh.


    Let it be¡­


    Perhaps since the time he left, he was no longer suited to be a doctor, right?


    Just as Chen Cang had said, did he deserve it?


    Yan Ming shook his head; perhaps in his current state, he truly didn¡¯t deserve it.


    He couldn¡¯t even lead by example, so how could he expect to be called ¡°Doctor Yan¡± by others?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°`


    Some might say, why did Chen Cang check on rounds but not check on others? Because he couldn¡¯t!


    Anyone who has ever been hospitalized will understand one thing: if you and the patient in the next bed do not share the same attending physician, then when your doctor does rounds, they essentially will not inquire too deeply about other patients and will speak very cautiously and carefully, remaining quite general in their comments.


    Why is this the case?


    Firstly, you don¡¯t know enough about someone else; making hasty conclusions without fully understanding a patient¡¯s condition can easily lead to trouble.


    Secondly, different doctors have their own treatment philosophies and plans. Many patients are very worried when they fall ill, wanting to ask around for information, seeking advice here and there. This can ultimately result in a lack of trust in their own doctors, leading to poor treatment outcomes, or even causing medical disputes.


    The last reason is that it can easily provoke animosity between two doctors.


    So, this matter is very complicated.


    Human hearts are also very complicated.


    The emergency internal medicine and emergency surgery only collaborate in rescue situations; otherwise, each is responsible for their own patients.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When a patient encounters a problem in the hospital bathroom, whose responsibility is it?


    Three daughters and a son, after facing this incident, were immensely heartbroken.


    But soon, the man stood up, seeking an explanation.


    Why hadn¡¯t the medical staff noticed in time?


    Chang Lina¡¯s explanation was very clear: a patient with first-level care needs to be visited twice an hour by a nurse.


    And during hospitalization, a family member¡¯s companionship is required¡­


    This system is very established.


    When a patient is hospitalized, if the family feels the patient¡¯s condition isn¡¯t serious, they agree to a regular observation ward instead of ICU admission, sign the informed consent forms, and the companionship agreement, putting their signatures on each document.


    You have to understand, one day in the ICU can cost a couple of thousand yuan, which is very expensive.


    Ordinary first-level care is just a few tens of yuan, a huge difference indeed.


    In the ICU, nurses observe the patients 24 hours a day; they stay within observation rooms, ready to monitor the situation at any moment.


    First-level care is somewhat more stringent than second-level care, but it is not overly strict.


    Initially, it was the patient¡¯s eldest daughter and son who had arranged the hospitalization for the elder, and they were the ones who promised to provide companionship.


    The surveillance footage was quickly reviewed, and indeed, Chang Lina had carried out her rounds diligently twice within the hour.


    However, after signing the notice and consent forms, the family did not fulfill their companionship duties.


    The incident was sudden; no one anticipated such an event. The man initially thought his father would be fine and went home.


    But¡­


    Should¡­ should¡­ how many shoulds does this world have?


    For a moment, the family was silent.


    A night without words¡­


    The next day, steps to address the incident began one by one.


    The medical affairs department intervened, and ultimately, the responsibility fell on the patient¡¯s family members.


    Though the family was reluctant to admit it, they left with the body of the deceased.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Deaths in the emergency department are not a big deal, but if it leads to a medical dispute, that¡¯s a serious matter.


    Perhaps some data is not very well known: the number of people emergency services can save each year¡­ is very, very few!


    Emergency medicine is an increasingly important topic in today¡¯s society.


    This matter is irrelevant to geography or country.


    After the shift, Chen Cang had not yet left; after all, there was a patient death to discuss, and both the discussion and the death records needed to be reviewed.


    All proceeded according to the protocol.


    At ten o¡¯clock, a piece of news spread through the emergency department.


    ¡°Yan Ming resigned!¡±


    Everyone was slightly taken aback.


    Then they fell silent.


    If he¡¯s gone, then he¡¯s gone!


    Chang Lina said irritatedly, ¡°If he¡¯s gone, fine, it¡¯s not like he was of much use anyway.¡±


    People outside the emergency department didn¡¯t make many comments.


    Chen Cang, however, was slightly startled.

    Chapter 338: Chapter 339: The Deeply Hidden Mr. Qin


    Chen Cang hesitated to leave, and suddenly, Chen Bingsheng called him into the on-call room and closed the door.


    After gesturing for Chen Cang to sit down, he suddenly took out a cigarette and offered one to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang hesitated for a moment, then drew out one and put it in his mouth.


    ¡°I heard you hit Yan Ming,¡± Chen Bingsheng said in a flat tone, showing no sign of pleasure or anger.


    Chen Cang nodded, took a drag of the cigarette, coughed on the smoke, which indeed was harsh to inhale.


    Collecting himself after a moment, he nodded faintly in acknowledgment, ¡°Mhm.¡±


    Suddenly, Chen Bingsheng took a hard drag on his cigarette and slowly exhaled, ¡°Ah¡­¡±


    ¡°Actually¡­ Yan Ming is a pitiful person.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and somewhat puzzled, ¡°Wasn¡¯t he punished for a surgery mishap before? And then he came to the emergency department to ¡®retire¡¯?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng shook his head, ¡°You¡¯re underestimating Yan Ming. The truth is¡­ it was the hospital that wronged him back then, or rather, it was a flaw in the system, a historical leftover issue.¡±


    ¡°Yan Ming¡­ back then, he was just as exceptional as you, hailed as the surgical prodigy of the provincial second hospital¡­¡±


    Chen Bingsheng told Chen Cang a lot more and shared many stories from the past.


    Chen Cang suddenly fell silent.


    ¡°But still¡­ since he came to the emergency department, he should¡¯ve taken on the responsibilities, even arriving late to a resuscitation.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng shook his head, ¡°Mhm, these past few years he has indeed been somewhat slack and I can¡¯t stand it anymore; there¡¯s no arguing with that.¡±


    ¡°But¡­ who could predict a sudden myocardial infarction in the emergency department? And it happened in the bathroom.¡±


    ¡°Ah, forget it, I¡¯m not blaming you¡ªI just want to remind you to be more cautious in the future, not to make the same mistakes as Yan Ming.¡±


    ¡°Every signature that needs to be made cannot be missed, every procedure that needs to be applied for cannot be skipped, that¡¯s to protect you.¡±


    At this point, Chen Bingsheng¡¯s expression became serious.


    He didn¡¯t come here to reprimand Chen Cang but rather to seize this incident as an opportunity to give him a heads-up!


    Truth be told, last night¡¯s incident was excusable.


    After all, it was mainly due to the family members.


    But!


    Some things Chen Cang had been doing lately really made people uneasy!


    Especially the emergency room surgery yesterday, Chen Bingsheng was petrified when he heard about it.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard quite a bit about your recent actions, surgeries in the emergency room without even notifying the chief, fortunately, nothing went wrong, but what if it had? Could you have handled it?¡±


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the chief covering for you! You¡¯ve got to be careful!¡±


    ¡°Today I¡¯m telling you about Yan Ming, not to scold you, nor to make you feel sorry for Yan Ming, but to tell you again: don¡¯t try to be the hero. Whatever you encounter in the future, you must remember to follow the relevant regulations!¡±


    ¡°Regulations may indeed be troublesome, but remember, they are designed based on the experience of predecessors to protect doctors.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng was somewhat anxious.


    He understood Chen Cang¡¯s personality as someone very opinionated, but this was no joking matter.


    Yan Ming¡¯s situation was exactly the right example to illustrate these points to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang nodded, though with less enthusiasm, ¡°Thank you, boss, I got it. I¡¯m heading back now.¡±


    Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s lackluster response, Chen Bingsheng shook his head, still too young, he thought, hoping the young man wouldn¡¯t learn the hard way¡­


    He would have to keep an eye on him from now on.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After leaving the emergency department, Chen Cang went nowhere, skipped eating, and went straight to sleep.


    The person who rarely dreamed, dreamed a lot tonight.


    When he woke up, it was nearly dark outside.


    Had he slept that long?


    Feeling the growl of hunger in his stomach, Chen Cang realized he had not eaten all day.


    Just as he was about to go downstairs, his phone suddenly rang.


    Pulling out his mobile phone to check, Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback; how come Qin Yue was calling him?


    After answering, Chen Cang asked, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s voice was surprisingly gentler than usual, ¡°Uh¡­ have you eaten yet?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Not yet, I was quite sleepy today, slept till now, and just got up. I was about to go downstairs for food, do you want to join?¡±


    Qin Yue: ¡°Sure!¡±


    Eating alone is boring; having someone to compete with for food might make the meal more enjoyable.


    They agreed on a time, and it was still a hot pot, set in a somewhat famous hot pot restaurant.


    Qin Yue liked to come here, not because the flavor was particularly unique, but because there was an excellent milk tea shop at the entrance.


    After work today, Qin Yue learned about the emergency office¡¯s situation and was somewhat worried about Chen Cang.


    After all, the incident had caused quite a stir, and the whole hospital knew that Yan Ming had resigned.


    However, the news of Chen Cang hitting Yan Ming did not spread.


    The old-timers at the Xiehe Hospital knew about Yan Ming, and most felt regret about his departure.


    But the younger crowd really lacked a good impression of him.


    Actually, no one becomes the way they are without reason; everyone has gone through a life, constantly changing within it.


    After settling down in a familiar spot.


    Chen Cang rubbed his hands together, ¡°It¡¯s rare for me to treat, so I might as well splurge a bit today.¡±


    Qin Yue rolled her eyes at him, ¡°Anyway, I only have 200 bucks. If it¡¯s more, you can stay behind and work it off.¡±


    The two bantered back and forth, and Chen Cang actually felt comfortable.


    To be honest, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t pinpoint when, but he had crazily fallen in love with¡­ hot pots.


    It was most likely Qin Yue who brought on this infatuation.


    If he had to pick a few things Qin Yue liked, Chen Cang thought that hot pots and milk tea definitely topped her list.


    With Qin Yue¡¯s retorts, the meal was very joyful.


    Originally, Qin Yue was worried that Chen Cang might be in a bad mood and encounter some problems, so she made a special effort to keep him company. Now, it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.


    But no worries, that¡¯s good!


    After a while, Qin Yue suddenly said, ¡°I might not be in the emergency department in a little while.¡±


    The tripe he had just picked up suddenly lost its appeal.


    Chen Cang looked up immediately, ¡°Why is that?¡±


    Qin Yue sighed, ¡°My dad wants me to pursue a part-time Ph.D., but the emergency department is too busy, so it¡¯s not suitable. He wants me to move to a more relaxed department.¡±


    Chen Cang was slightly startled, ¡°Oh¡­ a Ph.D.! Where will you be going for it?¡±


    Qin Yue thought for a moment, ¡°Xiangya or Xiehe, I guess! The admission brochure won¡¯t be out until the end of the year, but he just wanted to give me a heads-up to get prepared.¡±


    Chen Cang put down his chopsticks and gave an ¡°Oh,¡± suddenly finding today¡¯s meal to taste quite ordinary.


    ¡°Which department will you go to?¡± Chen Cang asked curiously.


    Qin Yue pondered for a while, ¡°General surgery, under Director Zhang¡¯s team.¡±


    Qin Yue herself was originally from general surgery, so it was a fitting choice for her.


    Chen Cang inevitably felt a little disappointed.


    After all, with his little puppy dog gone, his days acting cool would be devoid of a beautiful woman to hype him with ¡°666.¡± How dull that would be!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Times change, and so do people!


    Looks like I might have to strut over to general surgery from now on¡­


    The most important thing is¡­ I only just found out how deep-hidden Qin someone is.


    Such a pity, such a pity!


    If only I had known to take advantage sooner.


    Alas¡­


    ps: I¡¯m really sorry, I¡¯ve been too busy today with one thing after another, and only managed to write two chapters. I¡¯m going crazy, going crazy. Tomorrow morning, I have to get up and start typing, aiming for three updates by noon!

 Chapter 339 - Chapter 339: Chapter 340: Sudden Situation

    Chapter 339: Chapter 340: Sudden Situation


    ¡°`


    Yan Ming¡¯s departure had hastened the emergency department¡¯s recruiting efforts.


    No matter how one looked at it, Yan Ming was an experienced old doctor with years of service; his absence had certainly made the internal medicine section of the emergency department feel the pinch.


    Working in the emergency department¡¯s internal medicine was no easy task, as most of the emergency patients suffered from internal diseases. Compared to surgery, the daily routine was more complex and exhausting.


    The recruitment work had also been approaching its end recently.


    It was said that in the next few days, all the major recruiting units would begin preparing for interviews.


    Out of curiosity, Chen Cang logged into the hospital¡¯s official website; he was quite eager to see if any of his classmates had made it to the interview stage.


    Only after checking did he discover that Luo Zhou was the only one who had made it to the interview stage ranked first in the written test, while the others, though they had also advanced, had only achieved mediocre preliminary scores and had no significant advantages.


    But when it came to interviews, since ancient times, they¡¯ve been highly subjective.


    How does that saying go?


    Let the strong be strong,


    A breeze soothes the hillside;


    Let the forceful be forceful,


    The bright moon illuminates the great river;


    But I rely on my own network!


    After checking, Chen Cang logged out. It would be good if Luo Zhou made it into the emergency surgery department, but¡­ it was up to his own fate now. Chen Cang was just a small fry himself, struggling to get by, let alone worry about others.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Generally speaking, Friday mornings were a bit more relaxed than the rest of the week, possibly because everyone knew the weekend was about to start¡ªjust hang in there!


    So, this day was usually quieter, but Friday evenings were another story.


    The captivating weekend was about to begin, and naturally, after a week of hard work, it was time for revelries.


    As Chen Cang was about to finish his morning shift, he suddenly heard a commotion from the wards.


    Chen Cang immediately stopped in his tracks.


    Although the emergency department was divided into internal and surgical sections for patient management, any medical situation would be addressed with full dedication from both sides¡¯ staff.


    Driven by curiosity, Chen Cang moved towards the noise, but before he got there, he heard a patient shouting loudly:


    ¡°Help! Save my mom!¡± a man rushed out of the room in a flurry.


    Chen Cang sensed trouble and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something serious happened?


    With this thought, Chen Cang ran towards the commotion.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Chen Cang quickly asked the family member.


    At this time, Zhang Shu and Yao Zhiwen from internal medicine also rushed over.


    The patient¡¯s face was filled with panic: ¡°Doctor! Quick, my mom suddenly started having convulsions!¡±


    That sentence startled the three of them, and upon entering the room, they saw the patient¡¯s facial muscles twitching, both sides of her face and her lips trembling slightly!


    The three of them then relaxed a bit!


    They thought something else had happened¡­ Is this epilepsy?


    That was their first impression upon observing the symptoms.


    As they were preparing for the next steps, the patient suddenly calmed down and stopped convulsing.


    Epilepsy with a minor seizure?


    Zhang Shu quickly asked the family member, ¡°How did this happen all of a sudden?¡±


    The family member shook their head, their face changing color as they watched their mother sweating profusely, dabbing sweat with a paper in a delicate manner, heartachingly.


    ¡°Mom? Are you okay? You scared me to death! Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere now?¡±


    ¡°`


    The woman appeared to be in her fifties or sixties, dressed plainly, with socks that had been patched up several times. It was evident that her family situation was possibly very¡­ ordinary.


    Her eyes were tightly closed, her head drenched in sweat, as she groaned, ¡°Oh my, I feel terrible, my heart¡¯s racing uncontrollably, I¡¯m so dizzy¡­ I feel nauseous, I want to vomit!¡±


    The woman¡¯s face was contorted with pain, her voice choked up and trembling; she truly seemed to be suffering!


    The man¡¯s face suddenly changed, ¡°What exactly is going on here? Didn¡¯t you say my mom had vertigo? Wasn¡¯t it just a simple case of cerebral insufficiency? Why is she now having convulsions!¡±


    ¡°What exactly is the issue!¡±


    ¡°After three days in emergency, her condition hasn¡¯t improved, but rather worsened, and now she¡¯s started to have convulsions again. Is this going to be resolved or not!¡±


    The man¡¯s emotions grew increasingly agitated, and by the end, he was even yelling.


    Zhang Shu remained calm, ¡°Step aside first, let us take a look at the patient!¡±


    The man, named Tian Cong, was thirty-five years old. With only a high school education, he started working after graduation. After several years of hard work, he and his wife finally settled down in Anyang City, opening a successful clothing store. However, life was busy, so he had brought his mother to the city to help take care of his children.


    Tian Cong¡¯s father had passed away early on, leaving his mother to raise him single-handedly, which made him very reliant on her.


    Three days prior, his mother had suddenly gotten unbearably dizzy in the middle of the night, causing the world around her to spin, which frightened Tian Cong enough to call 120 and rush her to the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Upon arrival, the examination did reveal that there wasn¡¯t much wrong, with the most likely diagnosis being posterior circulation ischemia!


    The brain includes both the anterior and posterior circulatory systems. Insufficient blood supply, for instance, from the vertebrobasilar artery, causing inadequacies in areas like the vestibular nuclei, can lead to a series of ischemic responses.


    Since the vestibular system controls spatial awareness, ischemia in this area would result in manifestations like the room spinning.


    This too is a type of acute illness.


    Zhang Shu looked at Tian Cong with a serious tone, ¡°Don¡¯t panic. Panicking won¡¯t solve anything. Let¡¯s first figure out what the situation is!¡±


    Tian Cong¡¯s expression was somber, his eyes fixed on Zhang Shu, ¡°If anything happens to my mom! I¡­ I¡­¡±


    Tian Cong was not a bad person, nor was he evil; he couldn¡¯t actually utter any harsh words.


    All he wanted was for his mother to get better; nothing else mattered.


    Zhang Shu nodded, ¡°Rest assured, if it is our responsibility, we will definitely take charge. Now please, step aside.¡±


    After saying that, Zhang Shu turned to Yao Zhiwen, ¡°Bring me the patient¡¯s medical records and the test results.¡±


    At that moment, the patient was lying in bed, gasping for air. Zhang Shu watched the scene with great curiosity.


    What exactly was happening?


    How could this result occur?


    Convulsions?


    Quite strange!


    The woman was pale as Zhang Shu quickly arranged for the patient to be hooked up to cardiac monitoring.


    The more Zhang Shu observed, the more curious and perplexed she became. Even the medical orders were all standard. Such a condition should not have arisen.


    What exactly was the issue?


    A complex medical mystery indeed¡­


    All test indicators were normal, with the only abnormalities being elevated blood lipids and plasma viscosity. Otherwise, there was nothing unusual.


    During hospitalization, in order to rule out diseases of the brain system, tests such as CT, MRI, and cerebral ultrasound were all normal.


    How could she have started convulsing?


    Every diagnosis is like carrying out a detective investigation, with the goal of identifying the true culprit.


    After reviewing all the test results, Zhang Shu still shook her head, still without any cause.


    Even the side effects of the medications used would not result in the occurrence of convulsions or seizures!


    What exactly was the issue?

 Chapter 340 - Chapter 340: Case 341: Special Situation!

    Chapter 340: Case 341: Special Situation!


    ¡°`


    Clinical practice is just like this, diseases are numerous and complex, you must have a pair of insightful eyes, unswayed by external interference.


    Patient¡¯s words can¡¯t always be trusted, let alone their family members!


    As an experienced emergency physician, Zhang Shu frowned after reviewing all the examination reports and said,


    ¡°Has the patient eaten anything unusual recently, or had any injuries, or other life habits that are different from the usual?¡±


    Tian Cong took a deep breath, also calming himself down.


    Indeed, just as the doctor said, sort out the problem first before anything else!


    ¡°No, I personally take care of my mother¡¯s daily routine, there has been nothing out of the ordinary.¡±


    Zhang Shu continued to ask, ¡°Are you sure there are no such diseases as epilepsy in your family history, right?¡±


    Tian Cong thought carefully, indeed there was none, neither grandmother nor grandfather have ever had it, this was the first time his mother had a seizure.


    ¡°No! Absolutely not!¡±


    Such a firm response left the diagnosis mired in difficulty.


    Chen Cang, observing the patient¡¯s symptoms, pondered over all possible diseases that matched this reaction, including the entire range of causes associated with epileptic disorders.


    The brain really is a supercomputer, constantly filtering, calculating!


    Chen Cang also analyzed quickly, wanting to reach a conclusion.


    Facial muscle spasms?


    Trembling of facial and lip muscles¡­


    Sweating¡­ drooling¡­ nausea¡­ dizziness¡­ palpitations¡­


    But despite the spasms and the many symptoms, the patient¡¯s consciousness was clear!


    There was no sign of any confusion in her consciousness.


    This was curious¡­


    Suddenly!


    An idea surfaced in Chen Cang¡¯s mind!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang immediately looked up at the oxygen delivery device by the bed.


    His complexion changed instantly!


    Chen Cang hurriedly said, ¡°Who turned the oxygen up to such a high flow?¡±


    Zhang Shu, as if enlightened, suddenly looked up!


    Her face turned to panic, and she looked bewildered.


    Zhang Shu¡¯s expression changed, and she went out, shouting loudly at the head nurse, ¡°Who is in charge of bed 19? Come in here!¡±


    Nurse He, upon hearing this, also felt a sinking heart and walked in nervously. Upon seeing Zhang Shu, she said, ¡°Director Zhang, I am the responsible nurse for bed 19!¡±


    Zhang Shu looked up, saw He, and immediately questioned, ¡°Who turned on the oxygen?¡±


    He looked up in confusion, saw the setting and her face changed instantly, ¡°7.5! Are they crazy?¡±


    She turned and glared at the man, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to adjust it yourself? Why did you touch it!¡±


    Tian Cong was also flustered, ¡°I didn¡¯t touch anything! I didn¡¯t do anything!¡±


    At that moment, a woman in her sixties, Tian Cong¡¯s mother, finally spoke up, ¡°I¡­ I adjusted the oxygen myself¡­¡±


    At those words!


    The surroundings fell silent.


    Tian Cong was dumbfounded and livid, but helpless, ¡°Mom! Have you lost your mind? This is the hospital, what were you thinking?¡±


    The woman looked somewhat embarrassed.


    Sighing softly, she shook her head, ¡°Yesterday, the doctor told me that it was good to breathe some oxygen, said my brain would get dizzy from lack of blood and oxygen¡­ I thought, can there be too much oxygen inhalation?¡±


    ¡°Tian Cong, don¡¯t blame the doctors and nurses, they told me not to breathe too much, I just¡­ I just couldn¡¯t bear it, felt that having spent so much money, it would be a waste not to breathe more!¡±


    ¡°So I adjusted it up a bit¡­¡±


    The woman had lived a life of frugality, raising three children single-handedly, two sons and a daughter, managing the household on her own. It was an old habit that she couldn¡¯t change.


    Even at home, she couldn¡¯t bear to throw away leftovers, keeping them for herself to eat.


    Even if bread was past its expiration, if it was edible, she would eat it¡­


    ¡°`


    Tian Cong knew his mother all too well, and upon hearing these words, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    He understood his mother too well; she was capable of doing such things.


    Thinking about it, Tian Cong looked embarrassed.


    Remembering how he had just reprimanded someone loudly, he felt very ashamed.


    Here someone had worked hard to treat his mother, yet he blamed them so, truly feeling embarrassed!


    Tian Cong quickly said, ¡°Director Zhang, Dr. Yao! I am truly sorry, it¡¯s all my fault, I¡¯m uneducated and ignorant, please don¡¯t take it to heart!¡±


    As Tian Cong spoke, he bowed deeply.


    When it comes to concern, there is chaos!


    Faced with a family member¡¯s illness, Tian Cong really couldn¡¯t suppress and control his temper.


    Because he felt that his mother was too important to him, he couldn¡¯t afford any loss.


    Thinking about it, Tian Cong couldn¡¯t help but feel regret.


    Although the diagnosis of oxygen toxicity was exacerbated by the retention of carbon dioxide, it mainly depended on medical history, etiology, and symptoms.


    And because the patient didn¡¯t know at first that one could be poisoned by oxygen, they hadn¡¯t provided any effective causes.


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Cang¡¯s decisive discovery, it would probably have taken Zhang Shu a while longer to notice!


    With this thought, Zhang Shu looked at Chen Cang with a curious gaze!


    This Chen really was extraordinary!


    To be able to analyze and reach an accurate conclusion under such conditions and environment was a capability that a clinical doctor should possess but was very difficult to attain.


    The more Zhang Shu thought about it, the more impressed she was with Chen Cang!


    And Yao Zhiwen looked at Chen Cang with an admiring face.


    To be honest, Yao Zhiwen felt that Chen Cang had become the standout among their group.


    Even if himself, Wang Qian, Qin Yue, and others all had master¡¯s degrees, when it came to clinical ability, they really were a notch below Chen Cang.


    That was the truth.


    Thinking about it, Yao Zhiwen gave Chen Cang a thumbs-up with admiration and whispered, ¡°Awesome!¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°Just a coincidence¡­¡±


    Yao Zhiwen smiled and said no more.


    If it was once or twice, you could call it a coincidence.


    But when it happens over and over, do you really believe it¡¯s coincidence?


    If you do, then you are really naive!


    Now that a diagnosis was confirmed, everything naturally followed.


    Zhang Shu promptly signaled nurse Xiao He to prepare for the treatment.


    The patient¡¯s situation was quite evident; it was a typical case of cerebral oxygen toxicity, with the main principles of treatment being sedation, anti-convulsion, hypnosis, and protecting the head and tongue from injury during convulsions.


    After considering, Zhang Shu said to Yao Zhiwen, ¡°Yao, Diazepam 10mg, slow intravenous injection, paraldehyde, 5ml for adults, deep intramuscular injection¡­¡±


    Yao Zhiwen nodded hurriedly and rose to prepare the medical orders.


    And nurse Xiao He ran off to dispense medications.


    Meanwhile, the other patients in the vicinity watched the diagnosis and treatment with trepidation and a myriad of emotions.


    They whispered among themselves quietly.


    ¡°Oxygen can really be toxic?¡±


    ¡°Yeah! This is the first time I¡¯ve heard that oxygen can be toxic!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s terrifying!¡±


    ¡°Nurse, I don¡¯t want to use oxygen anymore¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want it either, please stop it for me!¡±


    ¡°Right, right! Me too, I don¡¯t want to use oxygen anymore.¡±


    ¡­

 Chapter 341 - Chapter 341: Chapter 342: Love Rival, ??

    Chapter 341: Chapter 342: Love Rival, ??


    One after another, several patients refused oxygen therapy, leaving even Zhang Shu and Chen Cang perplexed.


    Tian Cong was also quite curious, and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Doctor, can oxygen actually be toxic?¡±


    Zhang Shu glanced at Tian Cong and said, ¡°Oxygen is indispensable, as it¡¯s present in the air, but the concentration of oxygen is very important. When the partial pressure of oxygen exceeds half an atmosphere, it starts to become toxic to cells. Under one atmosphere, humans can survive for up to 24 hours maximum, and in an environment of three atmospheres of oxygen, humans can die within minutes.¡±


    At this point, all the patients were baffled!


    Oxygen therapy can be like this?


    They thought more oxygen was always better!


    It seems that this is not the case.


    Looks like in the future, we¡¯ll have to pinch our noses when we go out¡­ in case of oxygen poisoning¡­


    Seeing their reaction, Zhang Shu continued, ¡°Of course, the oxygen therapy being administered to you all is continuous low-flow, which is beneficial for your ailments! So don¡¯t mess with the settings, otherwise, no one can help you if problems arise!¡±


    To be honest, Tian Cong was truly taken aback by Zhang Shu¡¯s explanation!


    Oxygen can indeed be toxic.


    ¡°Doctor¡­ What¡¯s the condition with my mother, is it serious?¡± Tian Cong asked cautiously.


    Zhang Shu shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s not too serious. Your mother has cerebral oxygen toxicity, which primarily manifests as seizures and convulsions. However, fortunately, your mother is currently showing prodromal symptoms, which are not severe. It¡¯s a good thing that it was discovered early, as it would have been troublesome if it had reached the later stages, like the convulsive or coma phases.¡±


    Hearing this made Tian Cong shiver with fright!


    That was a close call.


    So grateful they found it early!


    With this in mind, Tian Cong hurriedly bowed at 90 degrees again to express his gratitude, ¡°I¡¯m really so thankful to you, Director Zhang! I truly appreciate it.¡±


    Zhang Shu shook her head and said, ¡°If you want to thank someone, thank Dr. Chen. Without him, your mother¡¯s condition might have been delayed by several minutes.¡±


    Zhang Shu could have also made the diagnosis, but perhaps not as quickly!


    After all, Chen Cang¡¯s speed was renowned: quick to diagnose, quick to suture, quick in surgery.


    But to identify the patient¡¯s primary symptoms and pinpoint the cause of the ailment in such a short time is indeed a frighteningly impressive feat.


    It¡¯s a strong grasp of professional expertise.


    ¡°Timely detection of prodromal symptoms and immediate withdrawal from a high-pressure oxygen environment is crucial for preventing the onset of oxygen seizures. So, Dr. Zhang truly helped a lot.¡±


    Tian Cong nodded eagerly and thanked Chen Cang profusely!


    The patient¡¯s condition was quickly brought under control.


    Although some time was needed to reverse the toxic environment, since it was only a prodromal manifestation, it was not particularly serious and could be corrected promptly.


    The patient¡¯s condition stabilized, but Tian Cong¡¯s mother was also taken to the observation room for monitoring.


    Her departure stirred sentiments among the elderly men and women in the ward.


    ¡°Ah¡­ I can¡¯t keep up with the times anymore!¡±


    ¡°Yes, even oxygen can be toxic, we¡¯re falling behind¡­¡±


    ¡°When you¡¯re old, you have to accept it, just listen to the young ones and try not to trouble them, that¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Exactly, nowadays the kids are even more exhausted than we were. Being well is better than anything!¡±


    ¡­


    No one blamed, belittled, or discriminated against Tian Cong¡¯s mother, thinking she was stingy and just wanted more oxygen.


    This was all understandable; raising three children to adulthood and establishing them in homes, how difficult must that have been?


    She had to save every penny!


    Sometimes, people staying together in a hospital become friends over time and may continue to visit each other even after being discharged.


    Besides, if Tian Cong¡¯s mother didn¡¯t understand, did they?


    They did not!


    Had it not been for her situation, would they have acted the same?


    In this vast world, nothing is too strange!


    As soon as Chen Cang stepped out of the ward, he heard Zhang Shu looking at him with a curious expression.


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Dr. Zhang¡­ Do I look bad?¡±


    Zhang Shu was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, ¡°Little Chen, I¡¯ve found you¡¯re really well-suited to being a doctor. You have a sharp ability to observe and a logical thinking capacity to judge, always managing to grasp the critical points of your patients, and then set off to find the cause of their illnesses!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be so modest, it¡¯s the truth! Very impressive.¡±


    Having said that, Zhang Shu stood up and left.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At ten in the afternoon, Chen Cang was at work as usual, planning to visit the First Hospital of Dong University after his shift to flaunt his skills and complete an impressive task.


    Throughout the afternoon, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t very busy, nor was Qin Yue. The two of them worked together to organize and analyze the surgical data for appendectomies with small incisions.


    Chen Cang was now preparing to write a paper.


    It must be said that Qin Yue¡¯s data analysis was very comprehensive and detailed, with good choices made for every aspect of the analysis.


    Just this data analysis alone already made the article reach a core standard!


    However, a core standard no longer satisfied Mr. Chen, after all, he was the man who aimed to take down an impact factor of a total score of 15.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang felt that with Qin Yue the data enthusiast around, he didn¡¯t need to be distracted learning statistics anymore.


    Just then, the young nurse walked in with a smile and said, ¡°Doctor Qin, that person is back again to change his dressing!¡±


    Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but frown, ¡°Tell him to wait for me in the treatment room; I¡¯ll be there shortly.¡±


    Chen Cang was instantly curious, ¡°Who is it?¡±


    The young nurse burst into laughter, ¡°Doctor Little Chen, don¡¯t you know? He¡¯s been here several times already!¡±


    Chen Cang was immediately taken aback, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s face changed instantly, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡±


    The young nurse stuck out her tongue.


    After Qin Yue left, the young nurse continued to speak, ¡°Doctor Little Chen, you¡¯ve got to step up your game!¡±


    ¡°That person who comes to have his dressing changed by Doctor Qin is quite young and handsome, fair and clean, except for a wound on his face. He often comes under the pretense of changing his dressing to see Qin Yue, bringing a pair of fruit for the nurses¡¯ station and the doctors every time.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback; he really wasn¡¯t aware!


    So, there was such an incident.


    But¡­


    The young nurse went on to say, ¡°That guy must be young, but he seems to be very rich, showing up in two different sports cars on two occasions! He must be a rich second-generation type!¡±


    ¡°Doctor Little Chen, you¡¯ve got to put in the effort, don¡¯t let our department¡¯s belle be stolen away!¡±


    Chen Cang instantly became vigilant!


    He suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.


    A rival?


    No!


    Why would I think that?


    I¡¯m not interested in Qin Yue¡­ am I?


    Chen Cang started to doubt himself.


    After much thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t suppress his curiosity and decided to get up and go see for himself.


    He had just stepped out when he saw a familiar face!


    What the heck?


    Isn¡¯t that the patient I sutured back then?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Wow, getting up at seven without having breakfast, and typing until now, I¡¯ve finally finished.


    I¡¯m relieved!


    Here¡¯s the fifth update, please support~

 Chapter 343 - Chapter 343: Chapter 344: Tedious……

    Chapter 343: Chapter 344: Tedious¡­¡­


    After watching Chen Cang¡¯s emergency room surgery at the Second Provincial Hospital, Wang Xiangjun felt quite uneasy.


    The same emergency department!


    How could the gap be so huge?


    After all, the emergency department of the First Hospital of Dongda is the leading department in Anyang city, while the Second Provincial Hospital is the one lagging in the field of emergency medicine.


    It had always been this way!


    However, the surgery yesterday honestly challenged Wang Xiangjun¡¯s perspectives.


    He faintly sensed that Li Baoshan was on the verge of a comeback.


    Could this really be happening?


    After returning, inspired by a sense of shame, the more Wang Xiangjun thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He decided to teach the doctors of the emergency department at Dongda Hospital a lesson!


    Let them see what the emergency department at the Second Provincial Hospital was like.


    With this in mind, Wang Xiangjun went back to the Second Provincial Hospital to copy the surgical video.


    Since it was an emergency room surgery, it had to be recorded; this served as the only proof.


    When Wang Xiangjun asked for the video, Li Baoshan was so happy, so excited, he was downright boastful.


    At this thought, Wang Xiangjun was so irritated he ground his teeth.


    Li Baoshan hadn¡¯t been this happy in a long time. His department had produced a talent, and the surgery they performed was so significant. It was a matter of pride for both Li Baoshan and the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Moreover, although they hadn¡¯t participated in the surgery from start to finish, they had watched almost all of it, except for the initial chest opening, the details of the surgery were clearly etched in their minds.


    This was a classic surgery, that was Tao Zi¡¯s evaluation.


    Giving such high praise from a master-level director of cardiac surgery, one could imagine just how excellent Chen Cang¡¯s surgery was.


    So, the more Wang Xiangjun thought about it, the more uncomfortable and apprehensive he felt.


    What kind of soldiers had Li Baoshan been leading!


    And just how talented was this young Chen!


    With these thoughts, Wang Xiangjun decided to take the surgical video back to shake up the young doctors in their emergency department, to show them that there are always higher mountains and greater people; even the emergency department at the Second Provincial Hospital were able to perform thoracic surgery on their own!


    Moreover, the most critical point was their calmness amidst danger!


    Accompanying the patient personally to the radiology department for tests.


    Such spirit was truly precious!


    While not encouraging other doctors to do the same, taking such action was very heartwarming!


    If this could reflect a person¡¯s character,


    then diagnosing intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia and pericardial tamponade, swiftly deciding on and successfully performing emergency room surgery, this is skill and decisiveness!


    For an emergency room doctor, these two qualities are extremely important!


    You must have both a compassionate heart and professional ethics, as well as decisiveness and ability!


    Combining all three, one already has what it takes to become a remarkable surgeon.


    The more Wang Xiangjun thought about it, the more envious he felt!


    Unfortunately, Li Baoshan was now covering Chen Cang so closely that there was no opportunity to intervene. After giving it much thought, the only option left was to train his own team and then try to recruit some decent talent.


    That very day, Wang Xiangjun detailed the surgical video in its entirety to everyone!


    Of course, Wang Xiangjun concealed the real name, after all, you can¡¯t see Chen Cang in the surgery video. The only proof that it was Chen Cang was his voice during the surgery.


    However, who would recognize Chen Cang¡¯s voice if they weren¡¯t familiar with him!


    After hearing what Wang Xiangjun had to say and watching the surgery,


    the doctors of the emergency department at the First Hospital of Dongda fell silent.


    Honestly, they didn¡¯t know what to say.


    They were all emergency room doctors; they knew the urgency of such situations.


    But if I asked myself, what would I do if I encountered this situation?


    What could I do?


    Could I accomplish this?


    These are all questions!


    Thinking of this, everyone fell silent, filled with countless emotions.


    Wang Xiangjun looked at the audience and said, ¡°The significance of showing you this video today lies not in other aspects, but in hoping that everyone understands how much responsibility and burden an emergency doctor carries!¡±


    ¡°With every extra effort we make, we can save one more life!¡±


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not encouraging everyone to perform surgeries in the emergency and resuscitation rooms, but rather, I want to tell everyone that you must enhance your own abilities. When facing various emergencies, you should be able to stay calm amidst danger and save the patients!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun did not reveal Chen Cang¡¯s name.


    Because Chen Cang was only in his twenties, while the doctors present were all in their thirties or forties, and sometimes it can be quite hurtful.


    Mature individuals might not feel anything, but can you guarantee how everyone will feel upon learning that such a young person in his twenties is so capable?


    The impact of this surgical video was tremendous; it seemed that from that day on, the learning atmosphere in the emergency department of Dongda Hospital suddenly grew much denser.


    Those who were previously reluctant to participate in academic activities also started to join in learning activities and improve themselves.


    Sometimes, competition and role models can truly play a promoting role.


    Similarly, the cardiac surgeon Xia Gaofeng learned of the surgical video.


    After all, it was a cardiac surgery, a repair of diaphragmatic hernia within the pericardium, plus pericardial effusion treatment surgery, such a case, though rare in cardiac surgery, is also important.


    Xia Gaofeng was also shocked!


    After watching the surgery, Xia Gaofeng was astonished!


    If emergency medicine only taught one spirit, the professionally trained cardiac surgeon Xia Gaofeng saw many profound techniques in the surgery!


    The surgeon was undoubtedly an experienced and highly skilled senior chief physician!


    Exactly!


    An attending physician simply would not have the capability to meticulously handle all the details so appropriately, every aspect was perfectly executed, worthy of a master!


    It was truly amazing!


    After watching, Xia Gaofeng decisively decided to organize a learning and exchange activity in the department!


    To delve into and learn from this surgery.


    So, immediately after work ended this afternoon, the learning commenced.


    At that moment, in the office, all the doctors were silent, watching the surgical video intently.


    They were all professional cardiac surgeons, earnestly pondering over every detail of Chen Cang¡¯s surgery.


    Chen Cang stood at the door, feeling more and more that something was off, more and more familiar.


    He simply peered through the door window for a glance, huh?


    Such a familiar scene¡­


    Wasn¡¯t this his surgery from yesterday?


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded on the spot.


    How did his surgery video make its way into the cardiac surgery office of Dongda Hospital?


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang suddenly felt a sense of dullness and boredom.


    I thought you all were discussing something important?


    With that thought, Chen Cang simply shook his head and walked over to the nurses¡¯ station outside, taking out several cases from Ge Huai to look over, seeing if there were any new patients.


    Nowadays at Dongda Hospital¡¯s cardiac surgery department, they were increasingly familiar with Chen Cang, knowing he was Chief Meng Xi¡¯s student, and he was rather handsome as well, which made him quite likable.


    Sometimes, appearance really is important, especially for a first impression.


    It¡¯s not about how handsome you are, but some people have a benevolent face. Just one look can make them likeable, even forming a favorable impression.

 Chapter 344 - Chapter 344: Chapter 345: The truth is hard...

    Chapter 344: Chapter 345: The truth is hard¡­


    Only through experience does a person grow.


    It was during emergency surgery at Dongda First Hospital that Ge Huai suddenly realized his own shortcomings!


    A surgeon should have the ¡°eyes of an eagle, the heart of a lion, and the hands of a woman.¡±


    One must possess the spirit of daring and decisiveness!


    The eagle¡¯s eyes are for diagnosis, sharply pinpointing the source of an ailment.


    The woman¡¯s hands refer to surgical skills.


    These can be continuously improved through learning and practice.


    So, the lion¡¯s heart is the most complex.


    Because it is a form of mental training, it is a challenge for every medical worker.


    Ge Huai is a lucky person, at least he broke through his own limits.


    In fact, every transcendence is a transformation of the self.


    At this moment, Ge Huai sat in his office, deeply moved as he watched the surgical video!


    It wasn¡¯t just the surgeon¡¯s superb and unparalleled technical skill that shocked him.


    But also the courage to make a split-second decision to perform surgery in the emergency room!


    The more he watched, the more excited Ge Huai became, the more he watched, the more thrilled he grew!


    This mysterious surgeon¡¯s stature in Ge Huai¡¯s heart soared, nearly becoming his idol.


    But he swore that after this, he must go to the emergency department of the Province Second Hospital to find that doctor and have a heart-to-heart talk.


    Ge Huai had a premonition!


    This surgeon, this master, could very well become a life mentor who would change his life.


    The more he thought about it, the more impassioned Ge Huai became.


    Meanwhile, Meng Xi, standing beside him, was also somewhat surprised by the surgery.


    Unlike Ge Huai, she had seen much of the world.


    Yet even so, such decisive emergency operating room surgery was indeed shocking.


    Abroad, the requirements for surgery are more stringent than at home, and such surgery¡­ Meng Xi felt she might not dare to undertake it.


    In fact, emergency medicine, whether domestically or abroad, has been relatively slow in development.


    This type of emergency room surgery is really just a theoretical operation that most people would not dare to perform.


    Although the latest medical guidelines clearly stipulate that emergency surgery is indicated in cases of cardiac tamponade with pericardial diaphragmatic hernia, how many people have that kind of courage!


    Besides, the surgeon¡¯s skill is beyond doubt, a master-level operation even more meticulous than her own.


    No matter one¡¯s talent, a person¡¯s energy is limited.


    To perform such a surgery well, without hundreds or thousands of experiences, one absolutely couldn¡¯t achieve this effect.


    Meng Xi also wanted to have a good talk with this person, to sit down and chat.


    However, when he suddenly heard a voice in the surgery, why did it always seem so familiar?


    Was it an illusion, or¡­ was he thinking too much?


    Why did that voice sound so familiar?


    The surgical video ended.


    Meng Xi shook his head. He could get off work early tonight; there was just one surgery, an operation for pericarditis, which wouldn¡¯t take much time. He could rest up well tomorrow and the day after.


    Perhaps he should go watch a play or prepare a delicious meal to treat himself.


    After the meeting ended, Xia Gaofeng looked at everyone and said, ¡°Today¡¯s surgery, with material from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital, is a real classic case of pericardial diaphragmatic hernia surgery. Everyone, think about it when you go back. On Monday during the shift change, I¡¯ll ask about your thoughts. Alright, you¡¯re dismissed.¡±


    Everyone nodded and left.


    Such surgery would leave a deep impression on any renowned doctor.


    Chen Cang saw the door open, and his eyes instantly lit up, relieved that he no longer had to stand outside.


    When Xia Gaofeng came out and saw Chen Cang, he smiled and said, ¡°Little Chen, you¡¯re here?¡±


    He greatly admired Chen Cang for his diligence, ambition, and talent. If it weren¡¯t for Meng Xi being his teacher, Xia Gaofeng would have poached him for himself.


    However, he was curious why Chen Cang hadn¡¯t chosen Tao Zi as his mentor.


    After all, Tao Zi was also a leading figure in the field of cardiac surgery, just as reputable as Xia Gaofeng. Thinking of this, Xia Gaofeng looked forward to teasing Old Tao next time they met. He was amused at the thought of Tao Zi¡¯s expression when he¡¯d find out that a doctor from his hospital had chosen a mentor from Xia Gaofeng¡¯s, eagerly awaiting that moment.


    Once everyone had dispersed, Chen Cang walked in.


    Ge Huai suddenly brightened, ¡°Little Chen, right, I remember you¡¯re from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right!¡±


    Ge Huai pointed excitedly at the surgery displayed on the wall and said with anticipation, ¡°Do you know about that pericardial diaphragmatic hernia surgery from your hospital?¡±


    ¡°The surgeon must be a great master, right? Was it done by Director Tao of the cardiac surgery?¡±


    Ge Huai bombarded him with several questions in a row, and Chen Cang didn¡¯t quite know what to say.


    Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Little Chen, were you there at that time?¡±


    After hearing Chen Cang¡¯s voice, he felt it sounded familiar and recalled it was similar to the one on TV.


    Chen Cang nodded and honestly replied, ¡°Yes, I was there.¡±


    At this, Ge Huai became excited, ¡°Awesome! Little Chen, I tell you, witnessing such a surgery is extraordinary for you, you know?¡±


    ¡°Look at those surgical skills, look at that¡­ truly impressive!¡±


    ¡°By the way, Little Chen, who performed that surgery? I want to pay them a visit!¡±


    Chen Cang coughed and, seeing Ge Huai¡¯s excitement, honestly felt a bit awkward.


    However, he believed honesty was most important, and with that in mind, Chen Cang sincerely said, ¡°That surgery¡­ was performed by me¡­¡±


    Ge Huai responded, ¡°I¡¯m asking who was the lead surgeon!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, ¡°It was me who led the surgery¡­¡±


    Ge Huai rolled his eyes, ¡°You? You can¡¯t even cut a pericardium properly, yet you performed a pericardial diaphragmatic hernia repair, do you even understand the difficulty level that¡¯s been raised several notches?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not joking with you, just tell me quickly, I want to find time to pay a visit.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and a bit helpless¡­


    If you don¡¯t believe the truth, what can I do?


    You see me almost every day, do you still need to come visit?


    Chen Cang sighed.


    It¡¯s difficult when nobody believes the truth.


    Clearly, Meng Xi didn¡¯t believe it either; she knew Chen Cang was involved because of his explanations, but she was certain he had not performed the surgery.


    After all, she was very familiar with Chen Cang¡¯s pericardial surgeries; she had even taught him.


    Watching Ge Huai and Chen Cang bicker, Meng Xi rolled her eyes, ¡°Let¡¯s go, there¡¯s only one surgery today. After it¡¯s done, go back and rest early; you also have the next two days off.¡±


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang and continued, ¡°Today, it¡¯s a surgery for acute pericarditis, and you will perform it, Little Chen.¡±


    ¡°Ge Huai, give Little Chen a hand. Even though his thoracic surgeries are good, he¡¯s just started with pericardial ones. You¡¯ll assist in the surgery.¡±


    After giving instructions, Meng Xi led the two towards the operating room.


    PS: For now, three updates. Thank you~ Thanks to Brother Mo Chu and Brother Yi Yi for their generous tips. More to come at noon tomorrow.

 Chapter 345 - Chapter 345: Chapter 346: Everyone Take Your Places

    Chapter 345: Chapter 346: Everyone Take Your Places


    Ge Huai was now taking much more care of Chen Cang than he used to!


    Or rather, he felt a much greater sense of responsibility and considered Chen Cang to be one of his own students.


    He could not afford to educate Chen Cang with prejudice or disdain.


    After all, the man was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, while he himself was well over thirty.


    So, now Ge Huai took teaching Chen Cang much more seriously than he did some time ago.


    ¡°Chen, the patient today is quite special, and it will be a challenge for you. If you feel you can¡¯t handle it, just let me do it. Don¡¯t be embarrassed!¡± Ge Huai advised Chen Cang before introducing the patient¡¯s condition.


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Um, okay, thank you, Teacher Ge, by the way¡­ What¡¯s special about the patient?¡±


    Ge Huai sighed heavily and said solemnly, ¡°The patient is over seventy years old and was hospitalized for acute pericarditis. Originally, considering the patient¡¯s age, we focused on conservative treatment and had no plans for surgery.¡±


    ¡°However, the results of pericardiocentesis were mediocre, and antibiotics were also administered, but¡­ now we can¡¯t draw anything out.¡±


    ¡°The fluid from the pericardiocentesis has thickened, and there¡¯s purulent discharge, so after much consideration, in order to prevent further deterioration of the condition, the patient now needs to undergo a pericardiotomy for drainage.¡±


    After explaining, Ge Huai summarized for Chen Cang and said earnestly, ¡°The situation now has three main difficulties:


    The first point: the patient is seventy years old, with a higher risk and possibly a poorer prognosis;


    The second point is that surgery for purulent pericarditis is a bit more complicated than that for a typical case of acute pericarditis;


    The third and most important point is that we must prevent incomplete cleaning, which could lead to chronic adhesion and complications of the heart and pericardium!¡±


    At this point, Ge Huai was somewhat uneasy, worried about Chen Cang as well as the patient, so he looked up at Meng Xi: ¡°Director Meng, maybe I should perform this surgery. Chen has only been here a few days; I¡¯m worried about him¡­ after all, the patient¡¯s condition is quite special.¡±


    Ge Huai was being truthful!


    Because surgery for acute pericarditis is one thing, it doesn¡¯t require much consideration for prognosis, and even the difficulty of the operation is relatively low.


    But once acute pericarditis develops into acute suppurative pericarditis, there¡¯s a twist; it¡¯s one of the more difficult operations within pericarditis.


    After becoming acutely suppurative, there are two main concerns: one is the adhesions affecting the pericardium and heart, which lead to a poorer prognosis and are prone to related complications.


    The second, and most serious, is the potential for chronic constrictive pericarditis!


    That becomes quite troublesome.


    Chronic constrictive pericarditis requires partial pericardiectomy, followed by pericardial repair, drastically increasing the difficulty of the surgery.


    Meng Xi was also quite worried.


    But after some thought, she decided to let Chen Cang lead. If he encountered any problems, she could take over midway.


    After all, the high difficulty lay in the operability of the later stages, not in the beginning.


    Although the later stages were difficult, the risk was not much different from a typical pericardiotomy for drainage.


    It would be better to let Chen Cang start, and then switch if necessary.


    After all, it was a rare opportunity for training.


    For medical staff, the most important thing is encountering different diseases and then finding ways to solve them.


    This is very important!


    Thinking this, Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, you go ahead. Don¡¯t worry, we are here for you.¡±


    Meng Xi didn¡¯t mention the difficulty of the surgery; having Ge Huai explain it was enough. Saying too much would only add pressure.


    So, Meng Xi simply offered Chen Cang a few words of encouragement.


    As the three of them washed their hands by the sink, Meng Xi suddenly noticed that Chen Cang¡¯s hands were large, with long fingers, a beautiful pair of hands.


    They seemed somewhat familiar¡­


    Seeing Meng Xi staring at his hands, Chen Cang was startled!


    He tensed inwardly, and even the perfect seven-step hand-washing technique he had mastered almost faltered.


    His focus nearly wavered.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Mr. Meng, could you wear a surgical gown that fits next time? It¡¯s either too tight and small or too loose and baggy.¡±


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang suddenly felt that the greatest pressure when operating with Mr. Meng wasn¡¯t on the operating table, but at the scrub sink¡­


    ¡­


    After entering the operating room, the three of them donned their surgical gowns.


    By this time, the anesthesiologist had already prepared for the anesthesia, awaiting the start of the surgery.


    Ge Huai looked at Chen Cang and whispered, ¡°Go for it, Xiao Chen!¡±


    Meng Xi nodded affirmatively.


    As for the anesthesiologist, he gave an awkward smile and carefully made his way to a spot with a good view. Watching Xiao Chen¡¯s surgery was a joyous affair.


    Chen Cang looked at the three of them and couldn¡¯t help but grumble to himself.


    You folks, get ready to be shocked!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang deliberately glanced at Mr. Meng because¡­ he was the one who truly needed to be shocked. The other two were merely¡­ spectators.


    Seeing Mr. Meng¡¯s tranquil and detached expression, Chen Cang suddenly felt very much in anticipation¡­


    Chen Cang turned around to look at the scrub nurse.


    His eyes sparkled with the light of a strong contender, his hands spread open, and his heart lightly chanted: ¡°Scalpel!¡±


    At that moment, the scalpel split the heavens, and his aura was like a rainbow,


    As Chen Cang struck his pose, suddenly the door opened, and a figure hurried in.


    Xia Gaofeng was taken aback. Seeing that Chen Cang was just stretching out his hand, he couldn¡¯t help but grin, ¡°Just starting, huh? Perfect timing! Come in, Old Qian.¡±


    Qian Liang and Xia Gaofeng sneaked in, not donning surgical attire but standing behind everyone else.


    ¡°Good, we¡¯re not late!¡±


    Qian Liang nodded, ¡°Yeah, we timed it just right.¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded by their words.


    Damn it, you people are outrageous. Are you addicted to watching the show?


    Xia Gaofeng smiled, ¡°Go ahead, Xiao Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, ¡°Scalpel!¡±


    The nurse, ready with the scalpel, was slightly taken aback at Chen Cang¡¯s antics, couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Ah, no matter how flamboyant the pose, it¡¯s useless¡­ such a pity for that handsome visage.¡±


    Chen Cang took the scalpel and began his own operation!


    The surgery was under local anesthesia, and the old man, seeing so many directors coming in, was immediately overjoyed in his heart, confident that this operation would be steady.


    After the anesthesia, Chen Cang began to slowly raise the scalpel to start, while Ge Huai was ready with the hemostatic gauze.


    Chen Cang¡¯s thoracotomy was the highlight of the surgery!


    After all, whenever Chen Cang performed a thoracotomy, the way he cut through the skin and separated the tissues was always very delicate.


    Chen Cang carefully excised the sixth left costal cartilage. At that moment, the internal mammary artery was exposed, and he looked at Ge Huai.


    ¡°Ligate the artery!¡±


    Ge Huai nodded, accurate and precise.


    After ligating and cutting the internal mammary artery, the tissue was separated, and the exposed pericardium could be seen.


    It was now time to open the pericardium through the costal cartilage bed and to clear the pus within the pericardium.


    Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but whisper to Qian Liang, ¡°He¡¯s cutting the pericardium!¡±


    Not only Xia Gaofeng, but everyone was also filled with anticipation.


    After all, the way Chen Cang cut the pericardium¡­

 Chapter 346 - Chapter 346: Chapter 347: Excess Reward

    Chapter 346: Chapter 347: Excess Reward


    Xia Gaofeng had Qian Liang come to watch the surgery, but not as a joke.


    It was because Chen Cang¡¯s choice of incision was very appropriate.


    Honestly, making incisions was Chen Cang¡¯s best skill, from minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries with tiny incisions to tracheotomies for foreign body removal.


    In these various surgeries, Chen Cang¡¯s control over the incision was always spot on.


    One might say that Chen Cang¡¯s incisions were a highly advanced skill, taking into account the subsequent repair; his incisions were not merely cuts, but a comprehensive consideration.


    Therefore, although Chen Cang initially wasn¡¯t very adept at opening the pericardium and lacked experience, even needing two or three cuts to open it every time!


    Yet, Chen Cang¡¯s choice of incision had Xia Gaofeng utterly amazed!


    This was because it was Chen Cang¡¯s philosophy!


    This insight truly dazzled Xia Gaofeng, which is why he later invited Qian Liang to observe, also with the intent of analyzing for deeper thought. The two hoped that through Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, they could ponder and discuss more profound matters.


    For instance¡­


    Was it possible to use incisions to improve the effectiveness of many surgeries?


    This was a question of great research value.


    As for why Chen Cang would consider these things, Xia Gaofeng understood well; the only explanation was natural talent.


    Possibly even Chen Cang himself didn¡¯t know why he chose to make the incisions the way he did.


    If Chen Cang knew what they were thinking, he would surely have sneered, after all, he chose the best incision method with his eyes, one that not only achieved the surgical objective but also effectively reduced damage, and better minimized side effects¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    But hearing their words, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shiver.


    Even Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but smile with an intriguing look.


    Ge Huai couldn¡¯t restrain his urge to laugh outright.


    Of course, this wasn¡¯t mockery, but rather a good-natured, innocent sense of¡­ amusement.


    Well, Ge Huai promised that he wasn¡¯t laughing at Chen Cang, after all, hadn¡¯t they all been there!


    However, at this very moment, Chen Cang¡¯s right hand holding the scalpel made a slight cut, and the pericardium opened instantly!


    Flawless!


    Seamless!


    Brilliant!


    This incision left the three of them dumbfounded.


    Xia Gaofeng was immediately stupefied on the spot.


    Because Chen Cang¡¯s incision was possibly not even a bit inferior to¡­ his own!


    Really, Chen Cang¡¯s proficiency in opening the pericardium just now was indeed second to none present.


    Moreover, since Chen Cang¡¯s choice of incision had always been profound and coupled with the increased proficiency, this very incision caused Xia Gaofeng¡¯s heart to race.


    Meng Xi, on the other hand, had their eyes wide with disbelief, this¡­ it must be a coincidence, right?


    The tissues in acute pericarditis change compared to regular pericardium, and even more so after suppuration, so the control over force and choice are never constant, and without substantial operative experience, it¡¯s hard to improve!


    But that incision Chen Cang made just now was truly formidable¡­


    Ge Huai observed and was briefly curious.


    Inside his heart he was startled: Huh? Lucky strike!


    Got it in one try.


    It must be a fluke.


    However¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s performance had just begun.


    After opening the pericardium, it was time to perform a window drainage, and at this juncture, Chen Cang¡¯s knife work shone brilliantly!


    And as an assistant, Ge Huai was somewhat bewildered.


    Who exactly was he assisting?


    At this moment, Ge Huai felt like he was assisting the world number one ADC!


    He had thought it would be a process of assisting an inexperienced ADC to slowly develop.


    Unexpectedly, just 3 minutes into the game, the ADC had already solo-killed the opposite ADC and their support!


    And¡­ as the support, he didn¡¯t even get an assist?


    This is bullshit.


    Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be the support carrying the ADC to a godlike state?


    What¡¯s going on?


    Ge Huai, who thought he was the protagonist of this surgery, suddenly began to doubt his life.


    More than once, he looked up to check if the person performing the surgery was really Chen Cang.


    It was Chen Cang!


    This is correct!


    But who performed the surgery?


    Was it really Chen Cang?


    How long has it been since we last saw each other?


    Just two or three days, right?


    Can one truly marvel at a person¡¯s growth after being apart for just three days?


    Thinking this, Ge Huai felt the urge to rub his eyes¡ªwere it not for the gloves he was wearing¡ªto see if his brain had taken on water¡­


    This was too fantastical.


    The memory of Chen Cang¡¯s immature techniques from just three days ago still lingered in his mind.


    But now, Chen Cang¡¯s pericardial window procedure truly exceeded Ge Huai¡¯s recognition.


    Because¡­ it was much better than his own.


    Even his mentor during his postgraduate studies, Director Xia Gaofeng, was probably at this level, right?


    The Xia Gaofeng standing behind him swallowed, feeling his mouth dry from shock after having it open for too long.


    Xia Gaofeng licked his parched lips and fell into silent contemplation.


    What kind of phenomenon was this?


    Xia Gaofeng had already harbored the intention of keeping Chen Cang at Dongda First Hospital!


    The Department of Cardiac Surgery at Dongda First Hospital was exactly in need of such a talent!


    Thinking this, Xia Gaofeng gave Chen Cang a meaningful glance, then turned to look at Qian Liang and whispered, ¡°Old Qian, a word please!¡±


    Qian Liang had long perceived his old friend Xia Gaofeng¡¯s intentions. With a thoughtful expression and a grave face, he nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s go outside to talk!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng was ready to step out and negotiate, but Chen Cang¡¯s subsequent pericardial cleaning operation made him catch his breath!


    Such a familiar technique!


    Clearing of the pericardial pus, removal of secretions¡­ Such surgical procedures seem simple.


    But they are not!


    Especially with purulent secretions, if they are not thoroughly cleaned, it can easily lead to adhesion between the pericardium and the heart, which has a severely adverse effect on the heart¡¯s later recovery.


    This set of cleaning techniques!


    Delicate!


    Exquisite!


    Thorough!


    It seems familiar¡­


    Suddenly, at this moment, Chen Cang said:


    ¡°Saline!¡±


    At that moment, Xia Gaofeng was flabbergasted!


    Meng Xi was also directly stunned!


    Everything matched up!


    Chen Cang¡¯s voice and operating steps were identical to the person in that video.


    Was it him?!


    Suddenly Meng Xi¡¯s eyes wide, she felt truly uneasy at heart.


    To be honest, it was shocking for her.


    Because she had never considered that Chen Cang could be the one performing the pericardial diaphragmatic hernia surgery in the emergency room.


    But now, she was firmly convinced.


    Chen Cang was very likely that person.


    The surgical techniques were similar!


    The steps of the operation were similar!


    The voice was similar!


    ¡­


    There were too many similarities.


    At this thought, Meng Xi felt it was incredible; she had assumed it would be some senior director, but turned out it was a young doctor¡­ and moreover, her own student.


    Reflecting on that, Meng Xi¡¯s breathing grew rapid, her heart felt a flutter of excitement and impulse!


    Anxious!


    Complicated!


    And an indescribable joy.


    To be honest, this feeling was very strange!


    [Ding! Your operation has successfully astonished your teacher Meng Xi, and the task was completed beyond expectations. You have received an extra reward: 1. Affinity +15; 2. A random low-level skill from Meng Xi.]

 Chapter 347 - Chapter 347: Chapter 348: You! You! You!

    Chapter 347: Chapter 348: You! You! You!


    After receiving the system prompt, Chen Cang really did not show off at all.


    He assured that he smiled for less than ten minutes in his heart, and that was it for the entire night after going home.


    Seeing the astonished Meng Xi, Chen Cang suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of exhilaration!


    The surgery continued.


    After carefully cleaning, Chen Cang then sutured the incision and placed the drains¡­


    Step by step, methodically, without haste or impatience.


    By this time, Xia Gaofeng was convinced!


    Chen Cang was the one who had performed the surgery for intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia in the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital!


    Shocking, indeed!


    So young! He was in his twenties, yet he was already performing at such a level, it truly was hard to imagine.


    If youth is an asset, then Chen Cang was a veritable capitalist!


    And this capitalist also possessed immense wealth!


    It was truly terrifying.


    The more Xia Gaofeng watched Chen Cang, the more he felt he had found a treasure.


    Such talent was absolutely wasted in Li Baoshan¡¯s emergency department.


    This kind of talent should shine and thrive in cardiothoracic surgery.


    Thinking this, Xia Gaofeng decided he needed to have a serious talk with Qian Liang about this matter, to see if they could poach Chen Cang.


    This was a stock with potential, the real deal.


    At that moment, Xia Gaofeng¡¯s gaze on Chen Cang was filled with the same kind of look Qian Liang had before¡­


    And Qian Liang was also somewhat stunned!


    This¡­ Although Chen Cang is in emergency, doesn¡¯t he specialize in general and hepatobiliary surgery?


    Qian Liang had a good understanding of Chen Cang.


    He even had quite a say in the matter.


    After all, he had personally witnessed Chen Cang pass the Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s staff assessment.


    That appendectomy through a small incision, to be honest, was an eye-opener for Qian Liang.


    Afterward, there was also the cholecystectomy for old Mr. Fang¡­


    All these incidents were astonishing and very impressive.


    However shocking it may have been, seeing Chen Cang standing at the cardiothoracic surgery table and performing such a formidable surgery, he was taken aback.


    Could it really be that someone was capable of successfully crossing fields?


    From hepatobiliary to cardiothoracic, did Chen Cang truly have no boundaries?


    Just as he pondered this, he suddenly realized something.


    Chen Cang was different from himself.


    Chen Cang was not simply a hepatobiliary surgeon but an emergency physician.


    Moreover, Chen Cang had an undergraduate degree!


    Combining these two factors¡­


    Qian Liang suddenly felt that it was possible!


    Because Chen Cang¡¯s thinking had not been ossified from the start, it had not been fixed by a research direction during graduate study, and at the same time, what he learned in emergency was quite patchy.


    Emergency is a mixed medical department.


    This is the Whampoa Military Academy of hospitals.


    It can be said that talents in any domain can be exhibited here.


    Exactly because of this, Chen Cang truly learned a lot in such a broad stage.


    Thinking of this, Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit emotional.


    Perhaps neither hepatobiliary nor cardiothoracic surgeries were the most suitable stages for Chen Cang, but emergency!


    That was the stage Chen Cang was most suited for.


    Because Chen Cang was indeed too versatile.


    Suddenly, at that very moment, Qian Liang looked at Chen Cang in astonishment.


    Maybe Chen Cang could become the foremost authority in the domestic field of emergency medicine?


    Emergency¡­ is a new discipline, with no mentors specifically in this field; most have a specialty.


    Yet Chen Cang chose to focus his profession on emergency medicine.


    At this thought, Qian Liang even felt a sense of fear.


    The future was limitless!


    It was really so.


    If Chen Cang could indeed carve a path in the field of emergency medicine that no one has ever traveled before, he would undoubtedly make a historical name for himself and contribute unprecedented achievements to the development of human health.


    Emergency!


    Emergency!


    It seemed that no one had ever been able to manage all the emergency surgeries, whether at Dongda First Hospital or at Province Second Hospital, whether it was Wang Xiangjun or Li Baoshan, they were only skilled in certain fields after all.


    But today, Qian Liang had faintly begun to see the embryonic form of Chen Cang.


    He didn¡¯t know if he would be able to see when Chen Cang spread his wings and soared up to a height of ninety thousand miles.


    But at this moment, Qian Liang just wanted to help this kid realize his dream!


    Thinking of this, Qian Liang was no longer obsessed with whether or not to bring Chen Cang to Dongda First Hospital.


    Because no matter where he was, Chen Cang would shine.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Ge Huai was somewhat silent, if the first cut made by Chen Cang was a coincidence, what about the ones that followed?


    Ge Huai was no fool!


    He knew that Chen Cang¡¯s success wasn¡¯t a coincidence.


    It was talent!


    It was capability!


    It was skill!


    He quietly watched Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, carefully assisting, without any other thoughts.


    How could he not understand by now that Chen Cang must have secretly taken extra lessons, and not just any lessons, but VIP private tutoring.


    Really impressive, huh?


    In such a short time, to have improved so much.


    Given time, what heights would he reach?


    Thinking of this, Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Damn impressive!¡±


    The surgery slowly progressed.


    With the help of Ge Huai, they soon reached the final stages.


    Ge Huai looked at Chen Cang and sincerely marveled, ¡°Xiao Chen, your talent is really something! After just a few surgeries, you¡¯ve improved this much, and I guess it won¡¯t be long before you surpass me.¡±


    What Ge Huai said came from the heart. Chen Cang¡¯s talent was noticeable, but he still needed to continuously learn new surgeries, new skills.


    After all, heart sac surgery only just opened the door to the heart.


    Now they could actually see the heart.


    Chen Cang smiled lightly, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Teacher Ge¡¯s excellent teaching.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ge Huai suddenly froze.


    Right!


    All of Chen Cang¡¯s surgeries were taught by him.


    Could it be¡­ that I have some sort of extraordinary hidden talent?


    Maybe I have a knack for producing prodigies?


    Thinking of this, Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but reflect.


    Maybe¡­ I really am damn impressive?


    With that thought, Ge Huai decided to find some time to reflect and summarize.


    After all, to each their own.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After the surgery was over, Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang¡¯s hands, and it wasn¡¯t hard to see why they felt so familiar.


    Because these were the same hands from the surgery video!


    The two were, in fact, the same person!


    With this realization, Meng Xi suddenly felt like laughing.


    When they had questioned Chen Cang earlier, no one believed him.


    Do they believe it now?


    Shocking, huh¡­


    Feeling this way, Meng Xi suddenly felt an inexplicable pride.


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang with a smile and said, ¡°Your handling of the pericardial diaphragmatic hernia surgery was very impressive! The attention to detail was also great.¡±


    Ge Huai happened to hear, ¡°What surgery? Pericardial diaphragmatic hernia? Wasn¡¯t this an acute purulent pericarditis surgery?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng, frustrated beyond belief, wished he could reforge Ge Huai and clarified directly, ¡°The video you watched today, have you forgotten? The emergency surgery for a pericardial diaphragmatic hernia combined with cardiac tamponade, that was performed by our very own Xiao Chen!¡±


    After finishing, still not feeling quite satisfied, he muttered under his breath, ¡°Pig-headed¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Ge Huai was immediately taken aback, his eyes widening as he stared at Chen Cang, ¡°You!¡­ You¡­ you!¡±

 Chapter 348 - Chapter 348: Chapter 349: Perfectly Natural

    Chapter 348: Chapter 349: Perfectly Natural


    After a week of high-intensity work, Chen Cang finally enjoyed a rare weekend off.


    Chen Cang took a day off on Saturday, going nowhere.


    He just wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally, then lie in bed all day scrolling through his phone, watching videos, movies, and reading novels. He¡¯d order takeout for lunch, continue to sleep in the afternoon, and stay up late watching TV series at night.


    Such a day should certainly be fulfilling!


    Really, sometimes Chen Cang looked forward to having such a day in his life.


    Not having to think about anything, just rest, just sleep with undivided attention.


    He called his parents in the evening, chatting for half an hour, and they reminded him to find a partner when he had time.


    He also gave Chen Luo a call, but lately, he had been even busier than himself.


    Chen Cang wondered if the School of Media and Communication could really be that hectic.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Fu Yulan¡¯s career had been progressing smoothly recently. Upon returning to the dance team, everyone noticed her transformation.


    Plastic surgery was not a big deal in this circle.


    Long Bear was even more indifferent about it.


    After all, women are the ones who most easily accept cosmetic surgery.


    Not because of other reasons, but because they¡¯re always good at finding all sorts of reasons to convince themselves.


    Women are such strange creatures.


    It¡¯s hard for others to persuade you.


    But it¡¯s very easy to persuade oneself.


    Just like a tube of lipstick, they can always find various reasons to buy it, ranging from the philosophy of life to the conditions of the common people.


    The moment Fu Yulan rejoined the team, she instantly attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    ¡°Lan Lan, is this¡­ a second development?¡±


    ¡°Have you ever seen a second development like this? She definitely got work done! Come on, Lan Lan, tell us how you did it!¡±


    ¡°Exactly, Lan Lan, show us, let¡¯s see how effective it is!¡±


    ¡­


    The whole dance studio was bustling, with seven or eight girls forming a circle around Fu Yulan.


    A bunch of people curiously eyed her new changes, and if it wasn¡¯t for Fu Yulan protecting her chest with her hands, they would have already touched her!


    Everyone was full of curiosity about Fu Yulan¡¯s changes. Wearing tight-fitting workout clothes, her figure was beautifully contoured, very enchanting!


    It could be said that she had very well outlined the unique curves and beauty of a woman.


    At that moment, Fu Yulan stood in the midst of the crowd, shining brightly!


    After all, the stage was not just about dance performance but also included the beauty of the body, curves¡­ and so on, all indispensable.


    Fu Yulan was naturally extremely happy inside, reveling in her inner self-satisfaction.


    After all, she had looked at herself in the Mirror more than once.


    Every day when she woke up, the first thing she did was stare at herself in the Mirror, and to be honest, it was somewhat hard to believe.


    Now that she had finally recovered completely and could rejoin the dance team, seeing everyone¡¯s reactions made Fu Yulan feel that the one million spent was not a loss at all!


    Fu Yulan looked at the gang of female hooligans around her and couldn¡¯t help but squat down, afraid they¡¯d tear her clothes off!


    After all¡­


    Even with the coach included, the dance team was all female.


    And they were really capable of doing it.


    Just as everyone was preparing to make their move, the coach walked in.


    Everyone quickly lined up and got ready.


    Their dance team was part of an entertainment media company, which cooperated with major entertainment companies and often went out to be backup dancers.


    And this team was a star team, having won quite a few awards.


    After the coach came in, she said, ¡°Everyone quiet down, I¡¯ve got something to tell you.¡±


    The dancers promptly straightened their line and pricked up their ears, listening attentively.


    The coach smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s good news. The company has decided to collaborate with Xihe Folk Art Troupe to rehearse a dance, aiming to get on this year¡¯s Spring Festival Gala.¡±


    As soon as this was said, everyone gasped.


    After all, the company prepared for the Spring Festival Gala every year.


    But the Spring Festival Gala never wanted to include them.


    This year was likely to be the same as usual.


    As for collaborating with a folk art troupe, which year did they not collaborate?


    As if it were so easy to get on the Spring Festival Gala.


    The coach clapped her hands: ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start with some physical training, then warm up, and prepare to start practice.¡±


    Once the practice exercises began, the coach¡¯s gaze casually swept over the dancers.


    Suddenly, she noticed the change in Fu Yulan and was immediately stunned.


    Her expression shifted as she hurried over and looked at Fu Yulan with a somewhat stern tone, ¡°Who allowed you to get this done?¡±


    She had high expectations for Fu Yulan, after all, she was a very talented girl, and also very diligent.


    But at this moment, after seeing that Fu Yulan had gotten breast implants, she was instantly displeased.


    After all, you¡¯re a dancer, with such intense daily exercise, having breast implants will definitely have a negative impact.


    There were numerous examples of this.


    Seeing the coach criticize her, Fu Yulan¡¯s face reddened. To tell the truth, the coach had been very nice to her, and she knew that in her heart, understanding that the coach wanted what was best for her. So, there was no point in arguing.


    ¡°I just¡­ got it done¡­ But Coach, it doesn¡¯t affect me. It won¡¯t affect me at all!¡± Fu Yulan had already confirmed it. This thing was just like the real deal, not only did it look and feel good, but most importantly, it was incredibly stable. She had no idea how Chen Cang managed to implant it; he was truly skilled.


    Upon hearing this, the coach frowned, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to those nonsense-talkers all day long. You should think, you are a dancer. Coordination of your body and overall aesthetic harmony are very important. And with all the jumping around every day, you¡¯ve got to consider the safety too!¡±


    As she said this, the coach softened her tone slightly.


    Fu Yulan hurriedly said, ¡°Coach, it really doesn¡¯t affect me, not at all, truly! If you don¡¯t believe me, let me dance a bit for you to see.¡±


    At this point, the little girls in the surrounding dance team suddenly lit up with excitement.


    To be honest, they were also looking forward to it, because which woman doesn¡¯t want to perfect herself a little more?


    But, as the coach said, could they even make these changes in their industry? Wouldn¡¯t there be any adverse effects?


    With these thoughts, everyone curiously watched Fu Yulan. If¡­ if it really didn¡¯t affect her, then they truly wanted to consider a little cosmetic enhancement as well.


    Every young girl has a desire for beauty.


    Seeing this, the coach hesitated for a moment. To be truthful, she had planned on focusing on training Fu Yulan as the team¡¯s highlight was to make her the center position in this year¡¯s dance piece. But¡­ she hoped no issues would arise!


    Considering this, the coach deliberated for a moment and said, ¡°Alright, show me a little demo, then do a warm-up, and I¡¯ll see.¡±


    Fu Yulan nodded, immediately stood up, and began her performance.


    This performance simply shocked everyone.


    Even the coach couldn¡¯t help but open her eyes wide, incredulously seeing that¡­ the form was too beautiful!


    Indeed, it was truly beautiful!


    Accompanied by graceful dancing and a lithe figure¡­ all of it was as picturesque as a painting!


    Everyone was astonished!


    What surprised the coach the most was the absence of any unnatural bulkiness that prosthetics might bring. Everything appeared natural, as if it were real.


    This completely stupefied the coach!


    PS: I¡¯m really sleepy. I need to sleep. I can¡¯t stay awake any longer. I¡¯ll do a triple post tomorrow at noon. Just two posts for now. Love you all, goodnight¡­

 Chapter 349 - Chapter 349: Chapter 350: Installment Payments?

    Chapter 349: Chapter 350: Installment Payments?


    It wasn¡¯t long before Fu Yulan finished dancing. She glanced at everyone and then turned to the coach, saying, ¡°Coach, it really doesn¡¯t affect me, truly it doesn¡¯t. I¡¯ve practiced at home many times already.¡±


    The coach was somewhat surprised but the fact was right in front of her, still hard to believe!


    She had seen many women after breast augmentation surgery, but precisely because of this, she understood even more the inconvenience that such procedures could cause.


    Yet, at this moment, upon seeing Fu Yulan, the coach was somewhat taken aback. She was really¡­amazing!


    How could this be possible?


    The dance industry was certainly not short of patients undergoing cosmetic surgery, but many regretted their decision afterwards because they could not execute various movements while dancing.


    Moreover, since it¡¯s not naturally their own, during some highly difficult movements, or even those movements that were a particular test of the physical form, it could even affect the visual effect.


    This was a common issue.


    The coach had seen it all before and had even seen many people forced to undergo surgery again to remove the implants, but this in turn caused further damage to the chest.


    So, this is why a dancer¡¯s physique is important; it¡¯s because it¡¯s valuable!


    Breast augmentations done with cosmetic surgery were very unsuitable.


    However, looking at Fu Yulan from a distance, the coach saw a nearly flawless figure. Her already good physique was now even more perfect!


    Does it really not affect her?


    ¡­


    The people around were all green with envy, after all¡­ who wouldn¡¯t want a stunning figure?


    The more they thought about it, the more they looked forward to and got excited.


    Once the training was over, they definitely wanted to ask properly where the surgery was done.


    Just then, the coach suddenly thought of something, her face lighting up with joy.


    She immediately said, ¡°This time we¡¯re collaborating with the folk art troupe, with the main theme showcasing human aesthetic beauty, using strength and bodily form to express the resilience of men and the gentleness of women. So¡­ Yulan, you¡¯ll be the lead for now. Next, we¡¯ll start preparing for the dance rehearsal.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Fu Yulan was immediately excited.


    Lead?


    That seemed like a good thing.


    Now she was suddenly looking forward to her team entering the Spring Festival Gala. By then, it would also add a glorious note to their resumes, which would be better for their development.


    After a morning¡¯s practice ended and it was time to rest, a group of people surrounded Fu Yulan.


    ¡°Lan Lan, where did you have it done? Can you introduce us to it?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, Lan Lan, it looks so good. I¡¯m so jealous!¡±


    ¡°Exactly, those of us who dance are mostly on the smaller side, which really limits our development.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯ve been flat for several years now, and I want to try feeling like a big woman for once¡­¡±


    ¡­


    The group was extremely lively.


    Even the coach got in on it, ¡°Yulan, if it¡¯s not too much of an impact, I suggest you could recommend it to everyone.¡±


    ¡°After all, what we pursue in dance is a unity of effect, which requires overall cooperation, and I think¡­ you could communicate and discuss with each other.¡±


    ¡°Then our chances of being successfully selected might even be greater!¡±


    When the coach said this, everyone immediately nodded their heads!


    ¡°Right, Lan Lan, we don¡¯t need a leader. I just want to be bigger!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, I do too. I¡¯ve been a flat bear for too many years, and I just want a change!¡±


    ¡°Please satisfy our wishes, Lan Lan¡­¡±


    Hearing everyone say this, Fu Yulan finally sighed and began to explain.


    ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to tell you, but¡­ the person is truly skillful, and besides, they are so busy that, if not for my sister¡¯s introduction, I doubt I would have been able to get on the list!¡±


    ¡°And¡­ it¡¯s really quite expensive, though it¡¯s worth the price, it¡¯s truly expensive!¡±


    Everyone got curious upon hearing this, ¡°Just how expensive is it?¡±


    Although everyone danced, not everyone had that much money.


    Of course, this group was still quite wealthy; even if they didn¡¯t have money themselves, their partners or parents did.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Fu Yulan spoke the truth, ¡°One million!¡±


    ¡°All in all, the total cost comes to about one million.¡±


    As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people fell silent, staring at Fu Yulan, unable to help but swallow hard.


    That¡¯s way too expensive, isn¡¯t it?


    One million!


    Are they trying to scam us?


    That was what everyone was thinking.


    After all, this was one million, not just one hundred thousand. The price was really getting extravagant; it was almost on par with celebrities.


    Most people had already started to back out.


    However¡­ there were still some who were somewhat idealistic.


    After all, having a breast augmentation for one million was something ordinary people couldn¡¯t afford, right?


    So, Long Bear¡¯s matter was temporarily put aside.


    But the issue didn¡¯t settle down.


    After dance practice was over, everyone went to take a shower together. They were all girls, and often showered together, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.


    Even the coach went to shower with everyone.


    However, very soon, when everyone looked at Fu Yulan¡­ their expressions changed instantly!


    She really did look great!


    You couldn¡¯t tell when she was clothed, but now, everyone could see everything very clearly and unequivocally¡­


    For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.


    Some even started to get handsy.


    After a bit of teasing and play, someone quickly made a decision!


    ¡°Lanlan, I want to do it!¡±


    ¡°Are you crazy? That¡¯s one million¡­¡± a girl tried to dissuade her.


    Not everyone could afford to spend one million on breast augmentation surgery.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s totally worth it! Besides, I¡¯ll discuss it with my husband¡­¡±


    A group of people began to discuss excitedly; even the coach was somewhat tempted¡­


    ¡­


    That night, after Fu Yulan returned to her room, she took out her phone to contact Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, hello.¡±


    Chen Cang, surprised to see Fu Yulan calling, curiously asked, ¡°Oh! Lanlan, hello, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Only then did Fu Yulan speak about what happened, ¡°Doctor Chen¡­ it¡¯s a bit embarrassing, but many of our sisters want to get the procedure, but the price is a bit too high¡­ Of course, I¡¯m not saying the price is too high; actually, I think one million is worth it, but they all want to have it done.¡±


    ¡°They want me to ask if they can pay in installments?¡±


    With that said, Chen Cang was really taken aback!


    He truly did not know if plastic surgery hospitals could accept installment payments.


    Thinking this over, Chen Cang said, ¡°Let me inquire on your behalf.¡±


    After the phone call, Chen Cang immediately dialed Zhang Zhixin¡¯s number and mentioned the possibility of installment payments.


    When Zhang Zhixin heard this, he slapped his forehead!


    ¡°Damn, Chen, you¡¯re a genius! Coming up with such a great strategy, yes! Absolutely yes!¡±


    ¡°Installment payments are great, indeed. This way, it¡¯s really possible to attract a lot more potential clients!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin thought quickly, instantly grasping the significance.

 Chapter 351 - Chapter 351: Chapter 352: Old Qins Stratagem!

    Chapter 351: Chapter 352: Old Qin¡¯s Stratagem!


    Qin Xiaoyuan sat on the sofa, behaving himself.


    His wife had just gotten through menopause, and his daughter had just passed through puberty.


    In theory, this should¡¯ve been the most worry-free time for Qin Xiaoyuan.


    Thinking back to the past few years, Qin Xiaoyuan shuddered with fear!


    Despite his impressive demeanor as Director Qin outside, he was a pushover at home¡­ talk about lack of status.


    With his wife going through menopause, he dared not speak his anger!


    With his daughter in puberty, he dared to speak but not to get angry!


    Poor Mr. Qin was so worn out inside!


    But thankfully, that was all in the past, and everything would get better.


    However, just when he thought the good days were here, old Qin started worrying again.


    He worried that Qin Yue was getting too old to marry off easily!


    He also worried she might end up with a jerk and not have someone to rely on for life.


    Qin Xiaoyuan had to be both father and mother!


    A heap of work at the hospital by day, and a mountain of chores at home by night.


    So exhausting!


    Compared to Mr. Qin, Qin Yue¡¯s mother was much more relaxed about it, just letting things take their course¡­


    But a father¡¯s concern for his daughter was absolutely from the bottom of his heart.


    If anyone dared to bully his girl, the usually polite Qin Xiaoyuan would not hesitate to risk his life.


    She was the apple of his eye, his cherished treasure.


    Hearing the phone ring, Qin Xiaoyuan became anxious, restless, just couldn¡¯t settle down!


    His wife, fed up with Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s fuss, couldn¡¯t help but speak up!


    ¡°Come here! I¡¯ll teach you a trick!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan hurried over.


    ¡°What trick? Tell me quickly!¡±


    His wife smiled mysteriously, ¡°Have you not thought about who could be calling our Yueyue at this time?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know why Yueyue is unusually dolled up today?¡±


    ¡°Yueyue got up so early today, and after such a fuss with getting ready, bathing and makeup, who do you think would call at this time?¡±


    ¡°Who else could it be calling at this time?!¡±


    His wife seemed as astute as Zhuge Liang or Sima Yi, eyes twinkling with amusement, as though she knew exactly who it was!


    Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly saw the light!


    Right!


    How could he have been so silly!


    Who else could be calling Qin Yue at this time?


    The caller at this time was definitely the reason behind Yueyue¡¯s makeup.


    At this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s eyes rolled around as he came up with a foolproof plan.


    Looking at who¡¯s calling would reveal who it was, without Yueyue noticing anyone touched her phone.


    With this in mind, Qin Xiaoyuan once again cautiously headed towards Qin Yue¡¯s bedroom. As he was walking, he suddenly felt that his slippers were not conducive to his investigative work. Deciding to leave his slippers at the door, he picked up the phone to see three missed calls.


    And¡­


    The most important thing!


    All three missed calls were from Chen Cang!


    And¡­ there was a string of messages on WeChat, with only one visible:


    ¡°I¡¯m downstairs now!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan immediately froze!


    Suddenly, he heard his wife call out from outside, ¡°Old Qin, help me get my phone!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face changed, realizing his wife was reminding him. He quickly placed the phone back down and hurried back to the sofa, lying down promptly!


    His wife whispered, ¡°She¡¯s coming out soon!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked flustered, patting his chest. How thrilling it was, he felt like a thief.


    This is my own home¡­


    What am I so nervous about?


    At this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but take another deep breath.


    At that moment, Qin Yue came out. She, who rarely wore makeup, had lightly touched up her face, and without needing much adornment, looked very beautiful.


    The ponytail she usually sported was casually strewn, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes together made her truly stunning!


    Even Qin Xiaoyuan felt a twinge of heartache looking at her!


    Such a good girl.


    Alas¡­


    She will eventually have to marry someone.


    How wonderful it would be for Daddy to take care of you for a lifetime¡­


    At that thought, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s mind became clouded with images of Chen Cang, and his feelings were deeply conflicted.


    Little Chen is a decent guy, tall and strong, and his face clearly shows he¡¯s a good person.


    Actually, marrying Little Chen wouldn¡¯t be too bad¡­


    But then again, Qin Xiaoyuan felt that his daughter marrying anyone would be an immense loss!


    This is his own daughter, after all.


    Qin Yue began changing her clothes. The weather was nice today, and Qin Yue, unusually, wore a form-fitting dress that accentuated her curves, paired with a beautiful pair of wedge heels, instead of the baggy T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.


    Seeing Qin Yue dressed up like this, even her mother was stunned!


    Who still had the mood to scroll through videos now!


    Muttering internally, she thought, This is going to lead to trouble!


    She hadn¡¯t dressed up this much when they took her to matchmaking events, but today she was spontaneously putting on makeup and even¡­ wearing this outfit and high heels???


    At this sight, Qin Yue¡¯s mother was taken aback and inwardly exclaimed, This is bad news.


    She stared intently at Qin Xiaoyuan, making faces: Your daughter is going to get into trouble!


    How could Qin Xiaoyuan not know, as he felt a twitch in his left eyelid, I¡¯m well aware!


    His wife conveyed with her eyes: Aren¡¯t you going to show some concern and ask her?


    Qin Xiaoyuan, with a dark expression, retorted, Why don¡¯t you ask!


    His wife glared, insisting, I¡¯m asking if you will ask or not!


    Qin Xiaoyuan caved in. He stood up and looked at Qin Yue in front of the floor-length Mirror, and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Yueyue, will you be home for lunch?¡±


    Qin Yue, smiling and carrying her small bag, walked towards the door, ¡°Mom, Dad, I¡¯m off. No, I won¡¯t be home for lunch.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan quickly asked, ¡°What about dinner?¡±


    Qin Yue hesitated for a moment, ¡°Not sure~!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan shivered with fear at the thought, not sure about even dinner¡­


    ¡°Well, Yueyue, you have work tomorrow. Come home early to rest.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded her head, ¡°Ah yes, got it. Mom, Dad, I¡¯m leaving!¡±


    Having said that, she closed the door and walked away.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was fraught with nervousness inside.


    Thankfully it¡¯s Sunday¡­ What if she didn¡¯t return home at night?


    How should a father give advice?


    His daughter was already 27 or 28 years old, so what kind of reasoning would work?


    Qin Xiaoyuan felt a heavy heart.


    Considering everything, Qin Xiaoyuan felt like he should do something.


    What to do, what to do?


    That¡¯s it!


    Suddenly, a plan came to Qin Xiaoyuan.


    If he couldn¡¯t educate Qin Yue well, he could at least try with Chen Cang!


    At around ten o¡¯clock at night, he would have the emergency department call him, make up a story about a patient, and ask Chen Cang to come over¡­


    A perfect plan!


    Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt like a genius!


    Anyway, Chen Cang¡¯s home was also near the hospital, so it would just be a reminder for him to go home early.


    At that thought, Qin Xiaoyuan found his own plan to be exceptionally clever.


    But first, he had to make a preliminary call to the emergency department.


    With that in mind, Qin Xiaoyuan rushed to the balcony, leaned over the windowsill, and looked downstairs.


    He had to make sure he didn¡¯t end up calling the wrong person.


    Luckily, the staff building was still one of the old ones, not too tall, so he could clearly see the man standing down below.


    If that wasn¡¯t Chen Cang, then who was it!


    At this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan was awash with complicated emotions.


    ¡°Who is this guy?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly saw his wife also leaning on the windowsill, watching the man walking with Qin Yue and nervously asking.


    Qin Xiaoyuan sneered, acting as if it didn¡¯t concern him, Heh heh heh heh!


    I won¡¯t tell you!


    With that, Qin Xiaoyuan shook his head, ¡°Don¡¯t know! I¡¯m not sure myself!¡±


    ps: Last night I was too exhausted, couldn¡¯t stay up any longer; I woke up early this morning to update¡ªthank you, everyone. Also, writing scenes about romance and family drama is really tough¡­


    Lastly, I¡¯m asking for your votes!

 Chapter 353 - Chapter 353: Chapter 354: No Need to Trouble Mr. Zhang

    Chapter 353: Chapter 354: No Need to Trouble Mr. Zhang


    Chen Cang suddenly realized that bringing Qin Yue to house hunt today was an incredibly wise decision.


    Because Qin Yue seemed to know a lot!


    She walked around the rooms with Chen Cang and the sales agent, asking very detailed questions, from property management to utilities and even the shared space allocation¡­ Ah, she explained everything clearly and understandably.


    Following behind Qin Yue, Chen Cang suddenly felt like she was the real owner of the house.


    Moreover, Qin Yue was really responsible.


    She paid great attention to the details of the rooms, like natural lighting, drainage, layout, and more.


    This made Chen Cang truly grateful!


    Chen Cang felt that Qin Yue was really putting her heart into helping him choose a house, to the extent that he even had an illusion.


    It was as if Qin Yue was selecting rooms she liked for herself.


    ¡°If this room were the master bedroom, the sunlight isn¡¯t very good, I don¡¯t like it!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s quite right to make this space into a bathroom¡­¡±


    ¡°I think this area could be turned into a study, but if we do that¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Along the way, what Qin Yue said the most was ¡°I think¡±.


    Far from feeling uncomfortable, Chen Cang was actually very happy.


    This feeling was really wonderful.


    Chen Cang wanted to say something but couldn¡¯t express it.


    Qin Yue seemed to really enjoy the process as she guided Chen Cang through.


    ¡°Put a row of sofas here, some tatami mats there, and you can use sliding doors to create a small tea room¡­¡±


    ¡°You see, this balcony could actually be turned into a study¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Qin Yue seemed to have a knack for interior design; it was unclear whether it was done according to her preferences, or if that was just what she liked.


    In Chen Cang¡¯s view, Qin Yue was a person who understood how to live life.


    He could never have imagined that someone so dedicated at work could be such a young girl in life, full of various fantasies.


    Watching Qin Yue, in her dress, walking around the room and facing the sunlight, Chen Cang suddenly felt that everything was beautiful.


    Almost all the sales agents took them for a soon-to-be-married couple.


    At first, Chen Cang still offered an explanation, but later on, he stopped.


    After all, as the salespeople said, ¡°Other than sales agents, no girl would accompany a boy so earnestly in house hunting!¡±


    This made Chen Cang blush a little.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    For the first time, Chen Cang felt that house hunting wasn¡¯t tiring but actually quite joyful, because every empty house seemed to come alive with color and furniture through Qin Yue¡¯s descriptions, transforming into a home.


    This feeling was magical.


    Looking at Qin Yue, Chen Cang suddenly wondered to himself if he had fallen for this girl?


    At this thought, his heart couldn¡¯t help but race.


    The time that followed seemed like every minute, every second, was precious.


    Qin Yue really treated herself as if she were the lady of the house, sparing no effort to secure the best deals.


    They had toured who knows how many houses¡­ Anyway, it was already 12:30 PM.


    If it weren¡¯t for the rumbling of Qin Yue¡¯s stomach, the two probably wouldn¡¯t have felt tired at all.


    Feeling a bit embarrassed, Chen Cang said, ¡°Qin Yue, let¡¯s go have some food first, take a break, and then continue looking.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded her head, smiling radiantly, without a hint of fatigue or weariness, and rather excitedly said, ¡°What delicious food are you going to treat me to today?¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but respond, ¡°You pick. You really helped me out big time today. I¡¯ve realized that having you with me was a brilliant choice. You¡¯re so awesome, you know everything. Without you, I probably would have been swindled.¡±


    Qin Yue patted her chest confidently, ¡°That¡¯s right, I once wanted to be a designer, specifically for room design.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°How about you design my house in the future?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue replied with a smile, ¡°Me, design? Aren¡¯t you afraid your wife will be unhappy?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled subtly, pondering for a moment before saying, ¡°She should like it.¡±


    Qin Yue didn¡¯t speak, but she felt quite pleased with herself.


    ¡­


    The two chatted as they walked toward the outside, discussing room designs and furniture choices.


    There was no place to eat nearby, demanding a substantial walk.


    Suddenly, they saw a man and a woman walking hand in hand towards them.


    Chen Cang was taken aback and couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    An acquaintance!


    It was the man with the stitches on his face.


    The man was accompanying a fashionably dressed woman, displaying considerable affection.


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°The life of the rich is indeed different ¨C just a couple of days ago, he was talking about turning over a new leaf to pursue Qin Yue, and now he¡¯s already with a new beauty!¡±


    Tsk tsk, enviable!


    Qin Yue also happened to see this and sneered inwardly. Zhang Fan really couldn¡¯t change his stripes; he had just confessed his feelings for her, and now he¡¯s immediately here with a young girl to look at houses.


    Truly amazing!


    However, Qin Yue didn¡¯t really care, as it was none of her business what kind of life someone else chose to lead.


    But that wasn¡¯t what Chen Cang and Qin Yue thought.


    Zhang Fan didn¡¯t think so either!


    He also noticed Qin Yue and Chen Cang walking together and was instantly dumbfounded.


    His expression changed, and he hastily let go of the woman¡¯s hand without drawing attention, hurrying over and saying, ¡°Qin Yue, what a coincidence!¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, smiled, and didn¡¯t meddle in other¡¯s affairs, responding, ¡°Quite a coincidence, indeed!¡±


    Zhang Fan glanced at Chen Cang, hesitated for a moment, then turned to Qin Yue, ¡°Are you here to look at houses?¡±


    Qin Yue shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m here to accompany a friend looking at houses.¡±


    Zhang Fan paused for a moment, then smiled, pretending to be generous, ¡°Dr. Chen is buying a house? How big are you looking for? My friend manages this place; maybe there could be some discounts.¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°No need to bother, I¡¯m just looking around, not in a rush to buy.¡±


    He didn¡¯t have a good impression of Zhang Fan.


    Zhang Fan¡¯s current speech was nothing more than an attempt to show off in front of Qin Yue, and Chen Cang didn¡¯t intend to give him that opportunity.


    But Qin Yue didn¡¯t think the same way!


    Immediately, Qin Yue chuckled, ¡°Oh? How much of a discount can we get by mentioning your name?¡±


    Zhang Fan was taken aback, as if they were bargaining for clothes?


    How much of a discount¡­


    Yet, Zhang Fan smiled subtly, looking at Chen Cang: ¡°I can¡¯t speak for other places, but for the smaller two-bedroom units here, I think my friend has quite a bit of influence, since his family was involved in the construction of these buildings.¡±


    ¡°I believe if Dr. Chen really needs a place, he could consider purchasing an affordable housing unit. These smaller-sized homes are suitable for temporary living, and the prices around here aren¡¯t low after all.¡±


    Zhang Fan¡¯s words seemed polite but were actually quite the opposite.


    But of course, Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t stoop to his level.


    However¡­


    Upon reflection, Chen Cang suddenly reached out and took Qin Yue¡¯s hand, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go have a meal first, and we¡¯ll look at the houses later.¡±


    ¡°We won¡¯t trouble Mr. Zhang for this.¡±


    ps: Lately I¡¯ve been feeling less inspired to write at night and can¡¯t seem to produce anything. I¡¯ll wake up early to write tomorrow.


    This act isn¡¯t over yet; I hope it doesn¡¯t keep me up at night¡­

 Chapter 354 - Chapter 354: Chapter 355: Love Is Just Like That

    Chapter 354: Chapter 355: Love Is Just Like That


    Zhang Fan saw Chen Cang suddenly grab Qin Yue¡¯s hand, and his face instantly changed!


    Rage burned within him!


    His eyes widened as he glared at Chen Cang, watching helplessly as he walked away with Qin Yue.


    Furious, Zhang Fan¡¯s complexion shifted, and he picked up his phone and violently smashed it to the ground!


    Damn it!


    Bastard!


    Zhang Fan trembled with anger, his body slightly shaking.


    Thinking of Chen Cang holding Qin Yue¡¯s hand, murderous thoughts crossed Zhang Fan¡¯s mind.


    Was it because Zhang Fan really liked Qin Yue that much?


    Yes!


    But also no!


    It was mainly because someone had taken away what he liked.


    The feeling of unwillingness.


    So annoying!


    The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became!


    Meanwhile, the woman beside him watched Zhang Fan with a scornful laugh, ¡°Serves you right for showing off.¡±


    But¡­


    Would she say such things to her sugar daddy?


    Of course not, now was the perfect time for her to step in.


    She had heard every word Zhang Fan had just said about the two-bedroom apartment owed to a friend and the alleged influence he had.


    How perfect!


    She just needed a simple two-bedroom apartment.


    As for what Zhang Fan thought¡­ how many girlfriends he had¡­ that didn¡¯t matter.


    What mattered was whether she could get a share of the benefits, and getting some meat would be even better.


    And maybe¡­ it would be best if he found more girlfriends so he wouldn¡¯t bother her all the time.


    Ah¡­


    Acting is really tough.


    Especially my acting skills, which greatly bolstered your confidence.


    At that thought, she felt that Zhang Fan was hindering the development of her acting career.


    And what¡¯s more important¡­


    I still have to hypocritically praise how great you are¡­


    This is just too damn tiring.


    If you had more girlfriends, you wouldn¡¯t bother me anymore.


    As she pondered this, a scheme began to form in her mind¡­


    Just then¡­ at this very moment, an irate security guard marched towards them.


    He wore a yellow armband on his arm.


    ¡°Young man, didn¡¯t you see what¡¯s written here?¡±


    Zhang Fan was still hot-headed and confused when he saw the guard approach.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The guard stood tall and pointed to a sign nearby, ¡°See that? No littering!¡±


    After saying that, the guard pointed at the pile of phone parts on the ground, sighed, and said, ¡°Clean this up quickly, or my boss might see it and dock my pay.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to fine you as well!¡±


    Zhang Fan was stunned, his eyes nearly popping out as he nearly spurted out a mouthful of blood!


    Damn it¡­


    Zhang Fan¡¯s facial expression twisted, almost as if the veins on his face would burst from anger!


    But at this moment, he quickly composed his expression, terrified that getting angry might actually tear the sutures on his face, which would be a real disaster¡­


    Then he would have to go to Chen Cang for stitches again!


    Thinking this, Zhang Fan felt like he was internally combusting with fury.


    Angry yet unable to show it, afraid to let his anger out, terrified that his facial muscles might contort.


    He had thrown his own phone, and now had to carefully clean up, as though he were littering.


    This was infuriating!


    Zhang Fan felt like exploding inside, desperate to vent but unable to; the frustration nearly brought him to tears.


    Turning around, he suddenly saw the woman beside him, and Zhang Fan finally thought of a solution!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At the same time, even Qin Yue felt her mind going blank.


    Allowed her little hands to be pulled away by Chen Cang.


    Dumbfounded in her heart.


    Her head was a complete mush.


    My emotions are so complicated¡­


    At that moment, Qin Yue really felt her heart racing. Her knowledge of cardiology wasn¡¯t great, so she didn¡¯t know whether it was supraventricular tachycardia or ventricular tachycardia.


    But she was really nervous.


    She felt her breathing become more and more rapid, somewhat uneasy, somewhat tense, and somewhat breathless.


    Is this the precursor to a heart attack?


    With that thought, Qin Yue became even more anxious and uneasy.


    Should she get her phone out and dial 120 in advance? That way, rescue could arrive a bit faster.


    Compared to Chen Cang, Qin Yue was actually more innocent. In fact, she¡¯d never been in a relationship before.


    She¡¯d had crushes on other boys, but never confessed her feelings.


    So when Chen Cang suddenly took her hand and led her away with such assertiveness, Qin Yue¡¯s heart nearly burst with excitement.


    Does she like Chen Cang?


    Like!


    Definitely like!


    But how much she liked him, she didn¡¯t even know.


    All she knew was:


    She would be willing to do whatever involves Chen Cang.


    She would be willing to help out with his troubles.


    She would try her best to fulfill his requests, even if it meant working overtime and staying up late to get it done.


    Now being led away by Chen Cang, her heart truly felt excited, happy, warm, and also anxious.


    Chen Cang felt extremely comfortable.


    Big hand holding small hand, soft and tender, the sensation was very pleasant.


    Actually, Chen Cang initially did it out of spite, annoyed by Zhang Fan showing off, and took the opportunity to walk away with Qin Yue.


    But¡­


    The more he held on, the less he wanted to let go.


    It wasn¡¯t until the two had walked dozens of meters and hailed a taxi that Chen Cang thought about getting out his phone to book the ride, but he didn¡¯t want to let go of the hand.


    After all, holding it in his hand felt very comforting and made him very happy.


    Thinking about booking a taxi meant he couldn¡¯t hold the little hand anymore, and Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to call one.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t call a taxi, and Qin Yue didn¡¯t say a word either.


    The two of them just


    Big hand holding small hand,


    walked, and walked, and walked.


    Chen Cang suddenly found himself wishing that the road would be longer so they could keep walking a bit more.


    Chen Cang remained silent.


    Qin Yue didn¡¯t make a sound either.


    In fact, Chen Cang was also carefully pondering; he was afraid that once he let go, it would be difficult to hold her hand again.


    But, seeing that Qin Yue did not resist, Chen Cang suddenly felt that she probably wouldn¡¯t refuse, right?


    After all¡­ she hadn¡¯t resisted and continued to follow him; that must mean consent, right?


    Chen Cang was no fool, after all, he had some experience.


    Through the pulse in the radial artery, Chen Cang could feel Qin Yue¡¯s heartbeat was very fast, she must be as nervous as I am, right?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang suddenly chuckled like a fool.


    Qin Yue was also pursing her lips, her eyes curved like crescent moons, gazing ahead with a smiling face.


    She too wished to keep walking like this forever.


    Hoping this road would always be this long, always this smooth, holding her hand always this warm, and the days ahead always filled with such a racing heart¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The two walked on the road under the blazing sun.


    Passersby who saw them all gave sidelong glances: Two people so attractive, why are their brains not functioning?


    With the sun scorching, hand in hand across the road, can¡¯t the two of you find a shady spot?


    It must be said, the intelligence quotient of those nearly in love really might be a negative number.


    But Chen Cang and Qin Yue could not care less about the looks from others.


    Right now, each was grinning like an idiot.


    Perhaps that¡¯s all there is to love.


    Perhaps, that¡¯s just what love is.


    Perhaps, love¡­

 Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: Chapter 356: Love, Its More Than This.

    Chapter 355: Chapter 356: Love, It¡¯s More Than This.


    In a certain five-star luxury hotel.


    Zhang Fan¡¯s face brimmed with confidence!


    Mm, not bad, improvement!


    Lying in bed, he slowly took a drag of a cigarette, letting the smoke rings drift away slowly.


    This time might be a historical new high for him recently, right?


    Record-breaking!


    Thinking of this, Zhang Fan suddenly understood a saying: anger really can propel people to improve!


    However, what does that little girl Qin Yue see in a junior doctor?


    At this thought, Zhang Fan felt puzzled.


    What¡¯s so good about this guy?


    Just a junior doctor, handsome maybe?


    But can handsomeness be eaten as food?


    Zhang Fan¡¯s father started out by opening a private hospital.


    If Zhang Fan could connect with the Qin family¡¯s medical circle, it would be incredibly beneficial for his future development.


    After all, Qin Yue¡¯s mother, Ji Ruyun, is the top official in provincial social security. Nowadays, who would go to your hospital without health insurance coverage?


    Public hospitals have strict annual quotas.


    What¡¯s more for private hospitals?


    Now, it¡¯s extremely difficult for private hospitals to be approved as designated health insurance reimbursement facilities.


    Moreover, many private hospitals no longer live by curing diseases.


    Many of them are just for the purpose of siphoning off health insurance funds.


    Therefore, both Zhang Fan¡¯s father and mother hoped Zhang Fan and Qin Yue could grow closer.


    The woman beside him sighed deeply, feeling so tired!


    Tired in the heart¡­


    It felt as tough as acting opposite Andy Lau in a scene, both challenging and painful.


    Seeing Zhang Fan¡¯s carefree and smug satisfaction, the woman knew that in this play, she was once again the best actor.


    That¡¯s enough, that¡¯s enough!


    If it really doesn¡¯t work out, I could just debut in Japan and probably scrape by.


    But I still need the house.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    As the two of them ate lunch, Qin Yue suddenly became very cautious, even with her favorite tripe she dared only order one serving.


    She calculated with anxiety, wondering if buying a house would impact the quality of life.


    If Chen Cang were to buy a house, she¡­ should she go home and discuss with her father and mother whether they should help support Chen Cang?


    After all, buying a house in the provincial capital is quite expensive!


    Even though the average price is fifteen thousand, the better locations are already at twenty thousand, and the most important thing is that now it is basically one price for each house.


    In one neighborhood, one building, the price difference can be up to ten thousand.


    A good orientation, a good layout, etc. are all very expensive!


    Chen Cang has only been working for so long, right?


    He¡¯s only just been regularized for a few days.


    And his family is from the countryside, where can they get so much money?


    Thinking of this, Qin Yue didn¡¯t want to give Chen Cang too much pressure and burden.


    After much thought, Qin Yue suddenly had an idea, ¡°Chen Cang, I heard from my mom that the real estate market in AnÑô city might take a dip this year! And now it¡¯s October, the prices are at a high point. It really isn¡¯t a good time to buy a house.¡±


    ¡°The so-called ¡®golden September and silver October¡¯ refers to the fact that prices for houses explode during these two months, and immediately after it¡¯s the New Year, before and after which are peaks for house prices. Let¡¯s wait until around next May or June to look again, right? Then the prices will be significantly lower!¡±


    Qin Yue was genuinely considering Chen Cang¡¯s circumstances; being part of the wage-earning class, buying a house meant digging into life savings, and the struggle ahead would last many years, which is never easy.


    Chen Cang already works so hard performing so many surgeries every day, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t bear to see him so exhausted.


    If by next year, she and¡­ Chen Cang¡­ you know¡­


    At that thought, Qin Yue¡¯s cheeks turned red.


    Then when buying a house, she¡¯d ask her father for money!


    It¡¯s only fair and proper.


    And she could also save some money, then they could buy a house together.


    ¡°`


    Chen Cang won¡¯t have to be so tired on his own anymore.


    Startled, Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue and smiled with interest, ¡°Is that right?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Of course!¡±


    Chen Cang understood Qin Yue¡¯s thoughts all too well. He gazed at this naive, somewhat silly girl who was already preparing to bend over backward for him, even though their relationship wasn¡¯t yet confirmed.


    He couldn¡¯t help but feel a burst of warmth in his heart.


    Even though they hadn¡¯t made their relationship official, in Qin Yue¡¯s heart, once their hands were held, she belonged to Chen Cang.


    It wasn¡¯t that Qin Yue was traditional, but rather, she deeply recognized this relationship.


    She had held hands with others before, but¡­ this was the first time her heart felt so stirred.


    Now Qin Yue focused solely on Chen Cang¡¯s needs and even concerned herself with their future little home.


    She thought about how to clean out Father Qin thoroughly¡­


    In the end, to buy Chen Cang a house.


    But obviously, that was not realistic!


    Qin Yue thought about how Chen Cang, so proud and face-saving, would definitely not accept his parents¡¯ money.


    So, it was up to the two of them to save up for their house.


    But¡­ if that were the case, she couldn¡¯t splurge on hot pot and bubble tea anymore.


    Although she liked those¡­


    However, compared to those things, a small home belonging just to the two of them, cozy even if not large, was what Qin Yue wanted most.


    Girls like to daydream, to long for love, for the future, for a family.


    As she thought more about it, Qin Yue didn¡¯t want to go back and live with Father Qin and Mother Ji anymore.


    That was their home!


    Qin Yue decided, starting tomorrow, after this hot pot meal, after this bubble tea, she would start saving money seriously.


    To strive for their little home!


    If she wanted to eat well, she¡¯d go home and let Father Qin treat her.


    That¡¯s right!


    She couldn¡¯t let Chen Cang spend anymore.


    This was their future money.


    If they bought a house sooner, they could cozy up on weekends, eating hot pot, singing songs.


    She imagined a warm morning, tying on an apron to prepare a cozy breakfast for Chen Cang.


    She imagined a lazy afternoon, brewing a pot of tea, with Chen Cang lying on the sofa, and her lying on top of him, both lazily cuddling together for a nap.


    She even imagined pushing a stroller in the park after their child was born.


    Right, they needed to buy a house with a park!


    But¡­ wouldn¡¯t that be a lot more expensive with a park?


    No matter, it¡¯s fine without a park, just downstairs will do.


    She also thought about walking after dinner, each holding a child¡¯s hand, forming a line-of-four, whistling a tune in the evening breeze.


    Yes!


    In the future, they would have two children, one named Chen¡­ and another named Chen¡­


    As she entertained these thoughts, Qin Yue suddenly felt life was just beginning.


    She didn¡¯t ask for Chen Cang to be very capable; she simply hoped he would love her for a lifetime.


    The more Qin Yue thought, the happier she felt.


    The more she thought, the deeper she immersed herself in it.


    They didn¡¯t eat much during the meal, but it lasted a long time.


    Qin Yue also began to serve Chen Cang with her perfectly honed skill of ¡°cooking tripe.¡±


    Chen Cang took a bite. It was crunchy and refreshing! Just right!


    He gave a thumbs-up to Qin Yue!


    Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s happy smile, Qin Yue was also utterly content and joyful, feeling even more satisfied than if she had eaten herself.


    Perhaps¡­


    Love is just like this.


    Love is no more than this.


    ps: Two chapters of dog food served, enjoy your meal everyone.

 Chapter 356 - Chapter 356: Chapter 357: This Shouldnt Be Considered Showing Off

    Chapter 356: Chapter 357: This Shouldn¡¯t Be Considered Showing Off


    After paying the bill, Chen Cang tricked Qin Yue into using the bathroom and ran a kilometer to buy her favorite fruit milk tea.


    Cool, sour, and sweet.


    Qin Yue¡¯s eyes sparkled with laughter, her laughter filled with love.


    ¡°No more Yi Fang after this, it¡¯s too expensive!¡± Qin Yue whispered.


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll buy you whatever you want to drink.¡±


    A simple phrase touched Qin Yue deeply.


    Looking at Chen Cang¡¯s sweaty face, Qin Yue suddenly felt very happy.


    At this moment, Qin Yue thought, even if Chen Cang had no house and no car, as long as he was willing to buy her a milk tea, she would be willing to marry him, even if it meant working hard to earn money herself.


    With this in mind, Qin Yue picked up the straw, and, placing her right index finger against the flat end of the straw, she gently pierced the milk tea lid, without spilling a drop.


    This was her second technique perfected to the ¡°drinking milk tea¡± level.


    Qin Yue pursed her lips slightly, ¡°You take a sip first, look how tired you are!¡±


    Chen Cang chuckled, holding the milk tea where Qin Yue held it, and took a sip, sweet and delicious.


    ¡°Shall we go? To house viewing?¡±


    Chen Cang stretched out his right hand, habitually taking Qin Yue¡¯s left hand.


    Qin Yue seemed accustomed to it too, letting Chen Cang lead her.


    With her hand in Chen Cang¡¯s grasp, Qin Yue truly felt extremely happy, her smile today even sweeter than usual.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Love really can make one exhilarated, make one forget fatigue.


    After a short rest, Qin Yue insisted on dragging Chen Cang to go see houses.


    Chen Cang was, of course, very happy too, running back and forth after Qin Yue.


    In the afternoon during the house viewing, Qin Yue was even happier and more excited, running around in the rooms, gesturing here, touching there.


    Then she described a scene to Chen Cang using gestures.


    ¡°Here, we¡¯ll put a couch, I want a big one that you can sleep on!¡±


    ¡°Over here, I want to keep a kitten, to stroke idly when there¡¯s nothing to do.¡±


    ¡°I want to connect the bed and balcony, and in the mornings I¡¯ll use smart home control and say, ¡®Open the window!¡¯ Then the sunlight will pour in, shine on my face, and feel so warm and nice.¡±


    ¡°Also, I want to put a projector in the bedroom so we can watch movies at night! But no horror movies allowed.¡±


    ¡­


    Not just Qin Yue, even Chen Cang got caught up in it all.


    The two of them ran around the rooms, examining places, touching surfaces, imagining how to decorate their home.


    This was to be their own home, where they could let creativity flow freely.


    There was no need to live under the constraints that come with living with parents; this was their own world, where they could arrange everything just as they wished.


    Finally, when they had finished viewing a house, Qin Yue asked cautiously, ¡°Excuse me, how much is this house?¡±


    The sales lady smiled slightly, ¡°You really have taste, this house is the most expensive one in this building in terms of average price.¡±


    ¡°Going by the price of the community, it¡¯s twenty-three thousand per square meter, but this house is nearly thirty thousand per square meter, and with more than one hundred and twenty square meters, all expenses considered, it might be around four million!¡±


    The sales lady¡¯s words left Qin Yue stunned!


    Four million!


    Oh my goodness.


    Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but stick out her tongue a bit.


    With a thirty percent down payment, that would also be nearly one million two hundred thousand.


    Thinking of this, Qin Yue muttered softly, ¡°That¡¯s expensive!¡±


    Seeing Qin Yue¡¯s reaction, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath and made a decision!


    Bought!


    This house was Chen Cang¡¯s favorite, whether it was the price, layout, or orientation, it all matched Qin Yue¡¯s and his own preferences perfectly.


    Four million, indeed not cheap.


    But¡­


    Finding a house that one truly likes is even harder.


    Qin Yue smiled, looking at Chen Cang, ¡°I think it¡¯s a bit too big. Should we look at smaller houses?¡±


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s quite empty for one person to live in such a big place!¡±


    Though she said that, Qin Yue had already made up her mind; as soon as they got back, she would definitely convince her parents to buy this house!


    ¡°`


    I must buy it!


    She could tell that Chen Cang truly liked this house.


    After touring for a whole day, this was the one Chen Cang and Qin Yue liked the most.


    But at 4 million, it was really too expensive.


    Chen Cang definitely couldn¡¯t afford it¡­


    Neither could she!


    Even if Chen Cang and she tried to buy it together, they couldn¡¯t afford it¡­


    After much thought, only Old Qin and Comrade Ji seemed suitable.


    Qin Yue had already made up her mind.


    When the time came, she would have Old Qin buy the house, and then she and Chen Cang would move in. Of course, they wouldn¡¯t live there for free; they would pay rent.


    Perhaps¡­ 1000 yuan for rent each month would suffice?


    Qin Yue felt that 1000 yuan was already quite a lot, especially since she still had to decorate. Yes, 1000 yuan wasn¡¯t little at all!


    She would renovate the place for them, not accepting a penny, and on top of that, pay rent¡ªit was already very generous of her.


    No, that¡¯s not right!


    Qin Yue felt that they should also contribute some renovation costs, otherwise she and Chen Cang would be at too much of a loss!


    Well, this shouldn¡¯t be considered as turning her elbow outwards!


    Having made up her mind, Qin Yue dragged Chen Cang towards the exit.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang had also asked for the sales lady¡¯s number, which annoyed Qin Yue somewhat.


    The little lioness Qin Yue had already considered Chen Cang as part of her own turf, and would never allow any other woman to invade her territory.


    Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly saw another sales lady walking in.


    Clearly, they weren¡¯t the only ones interested in this apartment.


    Situations like this were common.


    However¡­


    When they saw that the person who came to view the house was Zhang Fan, both of them were slightly stunned.


    Zhang Fan saw them and merely smiled faintly.


    He looked at Qin Yue deeply, then glanced past Chen Cang, ¡°Yueyue, looking at houses? This room is really quite something.¡±


    After casually glancing around, Zhang Fan asked the sales lady, ¡°How much is this apartment?¡±


    The sales lady smiled slightly and said in the same tone, ¡°Sir, you have great taste. This is the best apartment in our complex, and the price is around 4 million.¡±


    Zhang Fan smiled lightly, nodded, and casually said, ¡°Hmm, 4 million, that¡¯s not expensive!¡±


    After finishing his statement, Zhang Fan casually walked around, looked at the place, and complimented, ¡°Hmm, quite nice. I¡¯ll take it! 4 million, is it?¡±


    His words left Chen Cang and Qin Yue dumbstruck.


    A tightness gripped Qin Yue¡¯s heart, and she couldn¡¯t help wanting to speak out.


    Chen Cang hurriedly signaled with his eyes to stop her.


    Zhang Fan happened to witness this and immediately felt elated.


    Although he didn¡¯t say much, his heart was clearly very much aware.


    Don¡¯t you like the little doctor?


    Heh!


    Well, you definitely can¡¯t afford this house!


    However, Zhang Fan wouldn¡¯t mock Chen Cang, but he also wouldn¡¯t show any kindness.


    Chen Cang saw Zhang Fan¡¯s arrogant and proud demeanor and noticed that Qin Yue was unhappy.


    He knew that Qin Yue really liked this apartment.


    Instantly, Chen Cang made up his mind to buy it!


    But, Chen Cang would not argue with Zhang Fan.


    Pulling Qin Yue along, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, feeling very downhearted; it wasn¡¯t that she cared about the apartment, she just didn¡¯t like seeing Chen Cang being ridiculed and scorned.


    The little lioness too had someone she wanted to protect!


    Chen Cang looked at the name of the property and dialed Zheng Guotan¡¯s number.


    ps: Mmhmm, delivering the third update, hope everyone likes it. Thanks to the reader ¡°Traveler Here by Reputation¡± on QQ reading for the generous reward of 40,000, becoming a protector!


    Thanks to the friend Tian Yu Shui Xiang for the 10,000 reward, thank you!


    Finally, the veteran has been pondering how to devise torturous situations for our characters, sigh, it¡¯s quite challenging!


    ¡°`

 Chapter 357 - Chapter 357: Chapter 358: Dad, Im not happy!

    Chapter 357: Chapter 358: Dad, I¡¯m not happy!


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t make the call to Zheng Guotan to get any favors from him!


    It didn¡¯t matter; Chen Cang hoped Zheng Guotan would reserve this particular apartment for him.


    Qin Yue was in a terrible mood!


    Seeing the apartment being snatched away by that detestable Zhang Fan, she felt awful.


    Thinking of this, Qin Yue said to Chen Cang, ¡°I need to use the restroom.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll hold your bag for you.¡±


    Qin Yue, clutching her phone, hurried off toward the restroom.


    No sooner had she dashed into the restroom than she picked up her phone to call her father.


    ¡°Hello? My dear girl, are you having fun?¡± Qin Xiaoyuan saw the incoming call and immediately asked with a chuckle.


    Qin Yue said in a pitiful tone, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m not happy.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan became instantly furious, almost storming into the kitchen to grab his several dozen meters long machete.


    ¡°What happened? Yueyue! Tell Dad, did Chen Cang bully you? I¡­ I¡¯ll give him a good talking-to!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was livid.


    After all, he couldn¡¯t bear to say a harsh word to his own daughter, how could he let others bully her?


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan was already single-handedly pulling on his clothes, ready to put on his shoes and find Chen Cang to fight.


    I can¡¯t even bear to wrong my beloved girl myself, let alone let you, that lowlife, do it.


    Ji Ruyun was stunned at this.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Qin Xiaoyuan?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan, with a stern face, his eyes wide open, said, ¡°My girl is being bullied, she was all pitiful when she called me.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t remember the last time Qin Yue had acted spoiled or so pitiful.


    But hearing Qin Yue sounding almost ready to cry a moment ago nearly made Qin Xiaoyuan explode.


    I, Qin Xiaoyuan, have only one treasured daughter, who is so understanding and never causes trouble!


    Today she¡¯s almost crying because she has been bullied, it must be that bastard Chen Cang.


    At this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly had a sinking feeling, could it be¡­ could it be that she was rejected after a confession?


    With that thought, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly froze.


    Meanwhile, upon hearing that her daughter was almost about to cry, Ji Ruyun was shocked, quickly got up, and asked for the phone, ¡°Don¡¯t make a mess; let me ask what¡¯s going on. If it¡¯s just some tiff with a young man, don¡¯t create more trouble!¡±


    Ji Ruyun was somewhat calmer compared to Qin Xiaoyuan.


    After taking the phone, Ji Ruyun anxiously asked, ¡°Yueyue, what¡¯s wrong? Why aren¡¯t you happy?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was already extremely anxious on the side, shouting, ¡°Put it on speaker, let me hear too!¡±


    Ji Ruyun glanced at Qin Xiaoyuan with disdain, ¡°Look at you, so undignified!¡±


    With those words, she casually turned on the speakerphone.


    Qin Yue said with grievance, ¡°Mom, I found an apartment that I really like, but Zhang Fan insists on competing with me for it!¡±


    Ji Ruyun was taken aback, an apartment? What apartment?


    Did Qin Yue go apartment hunting today?


    With that thought, Ji Ruyun¡¯s first concern wasn¡¯t about Zhang Fan, but why Qin Yue was looking at apartments.


    Qin Xiaoyuan felt the same!


    Why was Qin Yue looking at apartments?


    Was it because she wanted to move out?


    Qin Xiaoyuan was the first to reflect on himself, wondering if it was due to him not doing well enough, or having some bad habits his daughter disliked?


    But¡­ after all these years, it surely couldn¡¯t be because of him.


    So then¡­


    There was only one conclusion!


    A smiling face suddenly appeared in Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s mind: Chen Cang?


    Damn it!


    ¡°You little rascal, you¡¯ve come up with a nice plan, huh? Not only luring away my daughter but also planning to take my little bit of money?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s way too much!¡±


    Old Qin isn¡¯t unwilling to buy a house for his girl, she¡¯s his only child after all. If he doesn¡¯t give the money to her, who else would he give it to?


    But¡­ you little scoundrel, aren¡¯t you being too despicable?


    ¡°Haven¡¯t even tied the knot, and you want to pry away my precious daughter along with a house?¡±


    The more Old Qin thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, almost feeling jealous.


    It was a very unpleasant feeling.


    Ji Ruyun then cautiously asked, ¡°Yueyue, what house? Did you go to view a house?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Today, I went to check out houses with a friend, saw one that I really liked. It¡¯s right here in the Hai¡¯an New District, a new development, just started selling. After I saw it, there was one home that was exceptionally nice, and I¡­ I fell for it and want to buy, but I don¡¯t have the money¡­¡±


    ¡°And Zhang Fan, he just wants to snap it up!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyun realized it was about this matter!


    ¡°Ah, don¡¯t worry, this isn¡¯t scary. Let¡¯s talk about this when we get back. It doesn¡¯t matter if he buys it! Take your parents to see the apartment another day.¡±


    Ji Ruyun was very calm; besides, their family wasn¡¯t at a point where they would casually spend four million on a house.


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°I don¡¯t particularly care about the house, but Zhang Fan has gone too far!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyun laughed and said, ¡°Okay, I will decide on this matter for you!¡±


    Qin Yue nodded her head, since there was nothing that could be done about this kind of thing. After all, those in business just have the money.


    But it didn¡¯t matter.


    As long as she was with Chen Cang, renting a house or anything else was fine.


    Thinking of Chen Cang, Qin Yue¡¯s mood lightened considerably, but right now, what worried her the most was that Chen Cang might be unhappy.


    With this thought, she hurriedly chatted with her parents for a few moments before getting ready to go out and comfort Chen Cang.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, on Chen Cang¡¯s side.


    After making a call to Zheng Guotan, at this moment Zheng Guotan was in a meeting.


    The entire office, with more than twenty people, all managerial level of the corporation.


    At this time, a personal phone suddenly rang.


    The whole room heard the ringing and immediately fell silent.


    Zheng Guotan had several phones, but he only carried a personal phone with him. Seeing the incoming call, he hesitated for a moment, then slightly startled upon seeing who it was.


    Chen Cang?


    Upon seeing it was Chen Cang, Zheng Guotan didn¡¯t hesitate too much and said to everyone, ¡°I have to take a call.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he stood up with the phone and left the office.


    ¡°Hello? Little Chen? What made you think to call me suddenly.¡±


    Zheng Guotan said, laughing.


    To be honest, Zheng Guotan had some regrets.


    Because he felt that he owed Chen Cang, remembering the past events, Zheng Guotan even felt somewhat embarrassed.


    It was Chen Cang who had stitched up Xu Ruoyun¡¯s leg.


    At the time, Zheng Guotan, not knowing the market, had given Chen Cang around seventy to eighty thousand after the sewing.


    But then, on one occasion when he took Xu Ruoyun to a private overseas party, he learned that a rich man had spent over three million to treat his wife¡¯s scars.


    This shocked Zheng Guotan!


    Could it really be that expensive?


    Thinking this, Zheng Guotan showed the injured area of Xu Ruoyun¡¯s leg to the other party.


    The other person was surprised and said, ¡°My wife also had a cut on the arm from a wine bottle. Treating the scar and removing the mark really did cost a lot of money.¡±


    A single sentence made Zheng Guotan¡¯s face flush.


    The other person also asked, ¡°Mr. Zheng, may I ask who the master that you hired to stitch it is? The level of stitching is really impressive.¡±


    At the time, Zheng Guotan said it was a friend.


    But deep inside, he was already filled with regret!

 Chapter 358 - Chapter 358: Chapter 359: Act All You Want!

    Chapter 358: Chapter 359: Act All You Want!


    Lennakons had a citizenship that allowed polygamy, numerous girlfriends, and the women were very fond of stirring up trouble.


    Yet, he never tired of it!


    In his opinion, there was no progress without competition.


    It was the same with girlfriends, without comparison, they wouldn¡¯t improve their skills and service quality.


    Lennakons¡¯s girlfriends all knew about each other and would even often attend parties together.


    Lennakons¡¯s business philosophy was that competition would reduce costs and expenses while simultaneously improving service quality.


    For example, Lennakons found that keeping one girlfriend cost $200,000 a month, but two only required $250,000, and three just $300,000.


    To Lennakons, this was an interesting philosophy.


    When Lennakons heard that it was Zheng Guotan who had such a friend, he immediately said with a laugh, ¡°I hope there will definitely be a chance to meet them in the future!¡±


    Zheng Guotan¡¯s face lit up, and he agreed.


    Lennakons was the chairman of a foreign investment company, someone Zheng Guotan had wanted to meet for a long time. He never expected to actually get acquainted through this opportunity.


    Zheng Guotan would naturally seize the opportunity.


    Zheng Guotan even joked, ¡°For the scar on Little Xu¡¯s leg, I only spent $10,000.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lennakons burst into laughter and said, ¡°You really are a friend, otherwise, that $10,000 couldn¡¯t even get you a glimpse of the person.¡±


    ¡°So, Mr. Zheng, you must introduce your good friend to me sometime, I like making friends, especially capable ones.¡±


    Lennakons spoke bluntly, a man in his fifties with a bald head and a very sturdy build.


    Zheng Guotan had been feeling ashamed for a long time, initially thinking that seventy to eighty thousand wasn¡¯t too shabby. Now, it seemed rather embarrassing to mention.


    Thinking about how he had brought Chen Cang to his house and even invited him to stitch up his wife¡¯s facial scar, Zheng Guotan felt a bit awkward.


    He had been quite proud of himself at the time.


    But now, it felt embarrassing even to speak of it.


    So, when he heard Chen Cang¡¯s call, Zheng Guotan promptly got up to answer.


    Chen Cang smiled faintly, ¡°Mr. Zheng, I really have a favor to ask of you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan¡¯s mood instantly lifted.


    At his level, the last thing he wanted was to owe favors.


    With Chen Cang taking the initiative to reach out, Zheng Guotan was very happy.


    ¡°Oh? Xiao Chen, you¡¯re too polite. Tell me, I¡¯ll definitely help if I can.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°That¡¯s the thing, Mr. Zheng, I¡¯ve taken a fancy to a house in your estate in Hai¡¯an New District, and I want to buy it. I have the money ready, but someone might have gotten interested earlier, so I need your help.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan immediately smiled, thinking it was something big.


    It was a property from his own real estate company.


    At this thought, an idea suddenly struck Zheng Guotan. Yes! His wife still needed Chen Cang¡¯s help. Why not just give it to him?


    This way, he could repay a favor and perhaps build a rapport with Chen Cang, which might lead to reciprocal assistance in the future.


    With that, Zheng Guotan said, ¡°Oh? Xiao Chen, give me the room number, and let me handle this matter.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and gave the room number.


    After memorizing it, Zheng Guotan said to Chen Cang, ¡°Alright, Xiao Chen, leave this matter to me. Go back and rest, and another day, I will have the manager deliver the contract to you.¡±


    ¡°For the specifics, my manager will coordinate with you directly later. Is this phone number convenient for you? I will have him contact you.¡±


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, ¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble you, Mr. Zheng.¡±


    Zheng Guotan waved his hand, ¡°Alright, alright, we are friends, no need for formalities. I¡¯m in a meeting right now. Come over to my house some day.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Zheng Guotan returned to his office.


    Looking at everyone, he asked, ¡°Who is in charge of the Hai¡¯an New District property?¡±


    At that time, a manager in his forties stood up: ¡°Boss Zheng, it¡¯s me.¡±


    Zheng Guotan nodded: ¡°I have a friend who fancies a house there, Building 2, Unit 9, Room 808. You arrange it, I¡¯ll send you his phone number and name. Don¡¯t stay for the meeting, go handle this first.¡±


    The manager understood immediately, who wouldn¡¯t understand what this was about?


    What a good deal!


    Helping a leader with personal affairs, could there be anything more honorable?


    Thinking of this, the man got up and immediately left to make arrangements.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At the Hai¡¯an New District sales office, Zhang Fan couldn¡¯t help feeling a bittersweet joy when he thought of Qin Yue and Chen Cang¡¯s disappointed expressions.


    Sometimes, money really could do anything.


    So you like colleagues, huh?


    My family runs a medical company, that should count as a colleague, right?


    Thinking this, Zhang Fan couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh.


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s settled, this house it is.¡±


    The saleslady¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard that: ¡°Sir, you are truly generous, your girlfriend must be very happy!¡±


    Zhang Fan smiled and shook his head.


    The three of them walked together towards the lower floors, just in time to see Chen Cang waiting for Qin Yue.


    Zhang Fan couldn¡¯t help but laugh: ¡°Doctor Chen has a good eye, that house, I bought it, but¡­ I could rent it to you, after all, we¡¯re friends.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, then couldn¡¯t help but laugh: ¡°Hmm, congratulations.¡±


    In public, it made no sense to compete with him.


    He didn¡¯t believe Zheng Guotan couldn¡¯t even sort out his own housing situation.


    At that moment, the saleslady¡¯s phone suddenly rang.


    ¡°Xiao He, don¡¯t sell Room 808 in Building 2 of Unit 9; don¡¯t take customers to see that house anymore.¡± The saleslady was taken aback.


    ¡°Why, Manager!? I¡¯ve already negotiated with the customer! The price is also settled, we¡¯re just waiting to sign the contract!¡± The woman was unhappy.


    The manager shook his head: ¡°I¡¯m not sure either, I just got a call from Boss Wang, he said that the house in the Hai¡¯an New District is temporarily off the market. Okay, don¡¯t ask anymore, I have other matter to attend to.¡±


    After hanging up, the saleslady was somewhat embarrassed.


    ¡°This¡­ Mr. Zhang, I¡¯m sorry, but due to some issues, that house we just saw is not for sale at the moment¡­ Perhaps you would consider another house?¡±


    Zhang Fan was taken aback too!


    He saw the mocking smile on Chen Cang¡¯s face and was instantly startled.


    Are you kidding me?


    I was about to sign the contract and now you¡¯re not selling?


    Thinking this, Zhang Fan started to get angry.


    And at this moment, just coming out of the restroom, Qin Yue walked towards Chen Cang with joy.


    She found that now, every time she saw Chen Cang, she felt incredibly happy.


    She had just heard that the house was not for sale and couldn¡¯t help feeling delighted.


    Her heart was filled with joy!


    She wanted to laugh, but felt a bit embarrassed.


    She looked at Zhang Fan: serves you right for showing off!

 Chapter 359 - Chapter 359: Chapter 360: Emergency Call

    Chapter 359: Chapter 360: Emergency Call


    Watching Zhang Fan¡¯s face contorted as if he had eaten poop and was too reluctant to spit it out for fear of wasting it.


    Qin Yue almost died laughing!


    But she felt too embarrassed to laugh in front of Zhang Fan!


    So, she simply pulled Chen Cang towards the exit, and once they got out, Qin Yue burst into an ecstatic laugh!


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ I¡¯m dying, showing off really doesn¡¯t end well!¡±


    Qin Yue laughed until she was shaking like a leaf.


    By this time, it was already six or seven o¡¯clock, and the two took a taxi to the snack street.


    After eating plenty of snacks, through Chen Cang¡¯s encouragement, they arrived at the movie theater.


    Chen Cang remembered a tip, saying the best movies to watch with a girlfriend in a theater are those that are either ¡®touching¡¯ or ¡®terrifying¡¯.


    ¡®Touching¡¯ ones are emotional.


    ¡®Terrifying¡¯ ones are horror films.


    Chen Cang, believing he had high emotional intelligence, chose an emotional romance movie.


    The main reason was that he was worried a horror movie would leave him with a psychological shadow, especially if he got scared while working night shifts, which would always be a bad thing.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°Wife, what time is it?¡± Qin Xiaoyuan, clearly anxious, asked his wife.


    Ji Ruyun was so irritated by his incessant questioning: ¡°Don¡¯t you have a phone? How many times are you going to ask?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan checked the time: ¡°It¡¯s already half-past nine, why haven¡¯t they come back yet? I¡¯m so worried.¡±


    Ji Ruyun looked at Qin Xiaoyuan: ¡°Are you sick or what? Our daughter is out on a date; why are you in such a hurry?¡±


    ¡°If you ask me, it¡¯s best if she doesn¡¯t come home tonight. Better to have a fait accompli, and then she can get married earlier!¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s already twenty-seven or twenty-eight, if she doesn¡¯t find someone soon, she¡¯ll end up an old maid!¡±


    When Ji Ruyun talked about Qin Yue, she was both angry and amused: ¡°Look at how many people we¡¯ve introduced to her, some from really good families too.¡±


    ¡°But Yueyue is just not interested, and now that she finally fancies someone, you¡¯re acting like this.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback by his wife¡¯s remarks!


    He didn¡¯t know what to say.


    But¡­ it was nearly ten o¡¯clock, and Old Qin was worried that something might have happened.


    With this concern in mind, Qin Xiaoyuan decided to proceed with the original plan!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, the movie had reached its conclusion, and the rich male lead finally got together with the female lead after overcoming endless obstacles, prompting tears and sobs from the audience, along with an odd smacking sound that echoed intermittently.


    There¡¯s no denying that apart from the clich¨¦ of rich people ending up together, the movie had done a great job at being touching.


    The male and female leads were both remarkable, and even Qin Yue found herself moved.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue held each other¡¯s hands tightly, gazing into each other¡¯s eyes.


    Amidst the dim colors of the cinema and the touching music from the movie.


    The two of them were deeply moved, and a feeling known as impulse was secreting within.


    As their eyes drew closer, Chen Cang gritted his teeth, looking deeply at Qin Yue, about to seal the deal with a kiss¡­


    Qin Yue¡¯s heart was racing, she was extremely nervous!


    This was her first kiss.


    She had wondered many times under what situation and to whom she would give it.


    But facing Chen Cang, she felt he was surely the right person.


    She could feel Chen Cang¡¯s breath growing stronger, scorching her face each time it touched her.


    In an instant, Qin Yue felt a mix of trepidation, nervousness, unease, and anticipation!


    Unable to help herself, she closed her eyes, waiting for the moment to arrive!


    Truth be told, she had waited for many years.


    From watching romance dramas with naive views on love at seventeen to watching people around her get married or divorced.


    At this moment, time seemed to stand still.


    She was almost able to feel Chen Cang¡¯s body heat.


    But just then!


    A shrill ringtone shattered the moment!


    Qin Yue and Chen Cang were instantly jolted!


    Because both of their phones rang at the same time.


    The two of them immediately looked worried.


    Was it an emergency?


    But isn¡¯t that unreasonable?


    Why would they ring at the same time?


    Continue kissing?


    That would be very awkward!


    Answer the phone!


    Chen Cang picked up the phone and answered in a low voice.


    As soon as the call connected, he heard the nurse on duty saying, ¡°Dr. Chen, there is a patient in the emergency department, and Dr. Wang cannot make a clear diagnosis¡­ Could you come over now if it¡¯s convenient for you?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled!


    Was he available?


    It seemed not very convenient.


    Why not request a consultation if the diagnosis is unclear?


    Since when had I, Chen Cang, become so indispensable?


    Chen Cang was so angry he almost crushed his mobile phone.


    However, after the movie was over, he decided to go and take a look.


    ¡°Is it serious?¡±


    The nurse frowned: ¡°I am not sure¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback; that was quite unprofessional, wasn¡¯t it?


    After Qin Yue answered her phone, she received the same message.


    The two exchanged glances and decided to go and check.


    More than Chen Cang, the most, most, most furious was Qin Yue. Hearing Nurse Xiao Lin¡¯s voice, Qin Yue felt somewhat helpless.


    Just when she was finally waiting for¡­


    So angry!


    What should she do?


    Qin Yue, her face flushed, glanced at Chen Cang, who was also feeling a bit awkward.


    Forget it, forget it!


    The two of them hastily left to hail a cab to the provincial second hospital.


    In the car, Chen Cang and Qin Yue always felt something was off because they would often receive emergency calls as well.


    But why did this time feel particularly odd?


    They couldn¡¯t exactly pinpoint what was off.


    However, at that moment, neither of them was in the mood for affection.


    After all, their minds were preoccupied with other things.


    Qin Yue had even more on her mind at the time; she had to go back and discuss with Elder Qin about transferring to a less demanding department.


    She could handle being in surgery, but not too busy.


    Could she learn from her mother?


    Thinking this, Qin Yue decided to go back and discuss with her mother in the evening about how to achieve her goal indirectly.


    The car was fast, and soon it reached the entrance of the hospital.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue hastily made their way to the emergency department lobby, where Xiao Lin was sitting at the nurse¡¯s station, apparently preparing for the next day¡¯s handover materials or something.


    An assistant nurse was busily dispensing medications.


    Where was the air of emergency resuscitation?


    Chen Cang¡¯s frustration found no outlet!


    Had his rare opportunity been spoiled just like that?


    Chen Cang looked at Xiao Lin: ¡°Wasn¡¯t there a patient? How is it going?¡±


    Xiao Lin was startled: ¡°Oh, the patient is in the doctor¡¯s office, and Dr. Wang is making a diagnosis! Just now, there were several patients needing suturing, and Dr. Wang was overwhelmed. But it wasn¡¯t anything particularly urgent, and it seemed inappropriate to bother the director, so we had to call you and Dr. Qin since you live closer.¡±


    Well, this excuse is barely acceptable!


    During the conversation, Chen Cang and Qin Yue walked toward the office.


    As soon as they entered the office, Chen Cang and Qin Yue¡¯s expressions changed dramatically¡ªthey saw the man¡¯s lower limbs were black and purple!


    The discoloration extended from the knees to the ankles on both sides.


    So it wasn¡¯t a joke?


    Realizing this, Chen Cang walked forward with a grave expression.


    ps: Hehe, that¡¯s three updates for now, and there will be two more tomorrow at noon!


    By the way, one more thing, about the name Zhang Fan, it¡¯s just a randomly chosen name, just like Yuan Fan and Shi Qi, and it doesn¡¯t have any other meaning, so please don¡¯t take it personally, thank you!

 Chapter 360 - Chapter 360: Chapter 361: Numerous Oddities in the Emergency Room

    Chapter 360: Chapter 361: Numerous Oddities in the Emergency Room


    Chen Cang hurriedly walked into the emergency room¡¯s doctor¡¯s office.


    Wang Yong seemed to have just come in. When he saw the patient¡¯s lower limbs, he too was slightly taken aback. What on earth was the problem?


    The dark purple, almost blackish calves resembled those obstructed by blood clots.


    When there are blood clots in the lower limbs, they can severely affect blood circulation, blocking blood return and causing the limbs to turn blue or purple and even swell.


    But besides having more leg hair, the patient¡¯s lower limbs looked completely normal.


    Could it be nitrite poisoning?


    During nitrite poisoning, hemoglobin loses its oxygen-carrying capacity, leading to tissue hypoxia and consequently, the patient¡¯s body turning a bluish hue.


    However, nitrite poisoning would surely not be localized; it¡¯s a systemic symptom.


    Yet clearly, the patient only had discoloration in the lower limbs. It couldn¡¯t be that!


    This was Chen Cang¡¯s initial assessment upon observing the patient.


    In fact, as a doctor, long-term clinical experience had honed his ability to see through to the truth.


    But medical diagnoses can absolutely not rely on first impressions alone.


    One must consider a variety of factors, including a detailed medical history, possible triggers, the progression of the illness, and so forth. If necessary, various tests must also be conducted for a definite diagnosis.


    The man wasn¡¯t old, in his thirties, but he was visibly anxious and worried.


    ¡°Doctor, after I played soccer today and went to have a shower, I suddenly noticed my legs turned this color. Please, take a look for me!¡±


    The man looked somewhat panic-stricken, staring at his own legs in shock.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Does it hurt?¡±


    The man nodded, ¡°Hmm! It didn¡¯t at first, but now¡­ it¡¯s starting to hurt a bit. Did I get injured?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t feel anything right after the soccer game, but later, while we were showering together, they brought it up, and that¡¯s when I truly noticed the pain. I wonder if I didn¡¯t notice it during the game due to not being careful and only discovered it afterward.¡±


    ¡°After resting for a while, the nerve response kicked in. I¡¯m guessing maybe the nerves were tense at the time and didn¡¯t react¡­¡±


    The man¡¯s explanation left everyone a bit dumbfounded!


    The man also frowned, ¡°And it¡¯s kind of itchy! I¡¯ve no idea what¡¯s going on!¡±


    Wang Yong saw Chen Cang and Qin Yue enter and nodded in acknowledgment.


    However, after examining the man¡¯s legs, Wang Yong found nothing out of the ordinary.


    Continuing, he asked, ¡°Does it hurt now?¡±


    The man felt around and then paused in thought, ¡°I¡¯m not really sure? It kind of hurts, but then again, it doesn¡¯t! I¡¯m just not certain anymore.¡±


    His response was ambiguous.


    ¡°But it¡¯s definitely a bit itchy!¡±


    After speaking, the man looked very concerned and anxiously said, ¡°Doctor, I don¡¯t have one of those clots, do I? On the way here, a friend Googled it and said that it looks just like this if a clot gets stuck, and if it¡¯s not cleared quickly, my thigh could turn necrotic!¡±


    When the man spoke, his fear was palpable.


    After all, he had seen photos online, and they looked indeed similar¡ªwhat were they called? Deep vein thrombosis, or lower limb clot, or something, which could require amputation of both legs if not dealt with!


    With this thought, the man was full of unease, ¡°I heard it might have destabilized clots in my body after the intense exercise, which then blocked a vessel in my lower limbs, causing this situation.¡±


    His articulate explanation almost convinced even Wang Yong, who felt like a layman in comparison.


    But¡­


    Qin Yue looked at the man¡¯s lower limbs and realized it didn¡¯t seem like disease because¡­ the discolored areas on the lower limbs were a bit too uniform, weren¡¯t they?


    The boundaries were very clear along the lower limbs¡­


    Just like¡­ just like someone wearing thigh-support or soccer tube socks.


    Pensively, Qin Yue asked, ¡°Did you wear socks this afternoon?¡±


    ¡°Those tight, leg-compressing athletic long socks.¡±


    The man was momentarily stunned, then flustered, ¡°How did you know?¡±


    He had played soccer that afternoon with high soccer socks and shin guards.


    So, during the game, he noticed nothing until he took a shower.


    With this in mind, Qin Yue got up and went over to the sink, grabbed the soap.


    She handed it to the man, ¡°Try washing it off and see if it comes out.¡±


    The man was taken aback, suddenly looking sheepish, ¡°You mean¡­ it¡¯s color transfer?¡±


    Qin Yue smiled, ¡°Just try washing it, we¡¯ll talk afterwards.¡±


    The man, feeling there might be some truth to it, got up, went to the sink, vigorously scrubbed with the soap, then thoroughly rinsed with water.


    No kidding!


    It really did fade a bit.


    The man was so delighted by this that he became quite excited.


    ¡°Oh my, Cao? It¡¯s really fading?¡±


    As he said this, the man couldn¡¯t help but laugh at himself. He rubbed the soap on his other leg and discovered that it could fade as well, and immediately burst out laughing.


    ¡°Sorry, sorry, doctor. My apologies for the trouble, it seems I¡¯m just losing color here.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he pulled out two sports socks from the bag he was carrying: ¡°I wore these to play soccer this afternoon. They¡¯re brand new!¡±


    ¡°I thought to myself, finally it¡¯s the weekend, why not play soccer in my new gear, right? Who would¡¯ve thought these darn things would lose color! This is just too much!¡±


    As he talked, the man became a bit embarrassed.


    ¡°Scared me so much, I went on Baidu and thought I would need an amputation. This is such a rip-off!¡±


    Chen Cang, Qin Yue, and Wang Yong couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    The man chuckled: ¡°When I discovered this during my shower, I was taken for a ride by those guys. If I had known, I would¡¯ve scrubbed more and maybe it would have come clean!¡±


    Qin Yue chuckled: ¡°It¡¯s okay, hurry on back now.¡±


    The man felt a little embarrassed as he stood up to say goodbye and leave.


    Emergencies like this happen more often than not.


    Color fading is also a common occurrence.


    So upon seeing it, Qin Yue figured it out right away.


    Of course, Wang Yong considered it too, especially since the man had no other reaction, it was hard to think of any other possibility.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Indeed, such occurrences are quite common in clinical settings, not unusual at all.


    The most absurd incident Chen Cang ever saw was during his internship, back when he was rotating in the dermatology and venereology department, being mentored by a female doctor.


    A man arrived at the dermatology clinic, visibly nervous and making a fuss, with a complex expression on his face that Chen Cang remembers clearly.


    Once questioned, the man hesitantly admitted that he feared he had contracted an STD, mentioning something red down there!


    The female doctor immediately asked the man to remove his pants for a careful inspection.


    No kidding!


    It was indeed so.


    The man had a red mark on his privates, encircling it, and the key was, it couldn¡¯t be washed off, which terrified the man, leading him to believe he had contracted an STD.


    After all, a red mark down there is frightening for anyone!


    Furthermore, the most critical part was that he indeed had some recent unclean, unhealthy sexual history.


    The man at that point was extremely anxious.


    The female doctor in the clinic looked at the red mark, which had a peculiar shape, and doubted it herself.


    It didn¡¯t seem like a pathological reaction.


    And the color was somewhat odd.


    After thinking it through, it resembled a lipstick mark.


    Reflecting on it, she suddenly remarked, ¡°It looks a bit like waterproof lipstick.¡±


    Conveniently, the female doctor had makeup remover in her bag, and once applied, the mark came right off.


    This left the man feeling so embarrassed, his face turned bright red, he pulled up his pants and ran out.


    Of course, there have been other bizarre cases.


    Like underwear losing color, or the fraying of threads in undergarments¡­


    Socks losing color!


    There are numerous cases of fading incidents.


    The emergency room is really a melting pot, with all sorts of patients coming in.


    But what we sometimes fear more than the skeptical patients are those who are presumptuous.


    Always thinking nothing¡¯s wrong, nothing¡¯s wrong, and only realizing too late when something does happen.


    So, when it comes to one¡¯s health, one should always be cautious.


    ps: Alright, you guys are too good, writing¡­ without any sense of anticipation, all guessed by you¡­ I feel no love¡­ humble, seeking comfort¡­

 Chapter 361 - Chapter 361: Chapter 362: This photo is taken really well!

    Chapter 361: Chapter 362: This photo is taken really well!


    ¡°`


    Chen Cang saw that there was nothing serious in the emergency room, looked at Qin Yue with a smile, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you home.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded happily and followed Chen Cang out.


    Chen Cang turned around to greet Wang Yong: ¡°We¡¯re leaving, call if there¡¯s anything.¡±


    Wang Yong nodded: ¡°Drive safely.¡±


    Chen Cang often took Qin Yue home, so Wang Yong wasn¡¯t surprised; he actually found it pretty normal.


    After leaving the emergency room, Chen Cang took Qin Yue¡¯s hand: ¡°I¡¯ll take you home.¡±


    Qin Yue said with a mischievous smile, ¡°I think there was definitely something fishy about that phone call just now!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, suddenly feeling that indeed something was off: ¡°You mean¡­?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded cunningly: ¡°Mhm!¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly pictured Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s sly and cunning face and immediately felt immense pressure.


    From then on, it seemed he would be engaged in a battle of wits with his future father-in-law.


    For the rest of my life, my love rival is you, my father-in-law is you, and the dean is also you.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang felt exhausted.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help shaking his head.


    However, there is a saying, ¡°Control the dean by leveraging his daughter.¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly let out a sly chuckle.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    As they talked, the two had already reached the entrance of the residential complex, leisurely strolling along.


    Qin Yue pouted and sighed: ¡°It¡¯s not so great living this close to home!¡±


    Chen Cang immediately said with a smile, ¡°Then let¡¯s take a walk around your neighborhood.¡±


    At this moment, Qin¡¯s father had already been on the lookout on the balcony for over half an hour, and upon finally seeing them, he perked up immediately.


    ¡°Wife, come quick! Your girl is back!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyun also hurried over.


    More than seeing her own daughter, Ji Ruyun was eager to see what her future son-in-law looked like.


    While speaking, she hurried onto the balcony.


    The two of them squinted down at the courtyard below and immediately saw Chen Cang holding Qin Yue¡¯s hand, both standing there, not yet moving to go upstairs.


    Ji Ruyun¡¯s eyesight was not bad; her far-sightedness was exceptional at that moment, allowing her to see that Chen Cang, the young man, seemed to have a clear and handsome face, with a tall and strong build, exuding a sense of safety.


    Not bad, not bad at all!


    She was quite satisfied.


    With that in mind, Ji Ruyun ran back to her room, took out her Huawei phone, and started snapping away at Chen Cang, making perfect use of the zoom feature.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue faced each other, hands clasped.


    Qin Yue was reluctant to go upstairs!


    The pair was talking in whispers, as if they had endless things to say.


    Watching this scene, Ji Ruyun felt incredibly nostalgic and happy.


    After all, her daughter finally had a place to belong, which made her as a mother overjoyed.


    And seeing that the young man seemed quite decent, of course, she was happy.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue stood face to face downstairs.


    ¡°Go back now,¡± Chen Cang said with a smile.


    Qin Yue nodded and responded with a giggle, ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything else you want to tell me?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, then thought for a moment: ¡°Get some rest early!¡±


    Qin Yue immediately rolled her eyes: ¡°Anything else?¡±


    Chen Cang racked his brains, and suddenly remembering a meme from the internet, he quickly grinned: ¡°Are you inviting me up for a glass of water? No need, no need!¡±


    Qin Yue was so annoyed that she wished she could slap Chen Cang to the ground and said irritably, ¡°My dad¡¯s there, come up for a drink of water before you leave!¡±


    Chen Cang instantly wilted.


    Forget it, thinking of Dean Qin watching him like a hawk, Chen Cang felt it was best not to drink that water.


    Seeing that Chen Cang was at a loss for words, Qin Yue immediately rolled her eyes in exasperation.


    This straight man!


    Really needs some proper training!


    Qin Yue thought as much and turned around with a giggle: ¡°Then I¡¯m off! See you tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°`


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hurry back, your parents are worried about you.¡±


    Watching Qin Yue about to enter the building, Mr. Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved that she was safely back home.


    Chen Cang watched Qin Yue go in, about to turn and leave.


    Suddenly, he heard a clear voice, ¡°Chen Cang!¡±


    Chen Cang turned around abruptly, suddenly a whiff of fragrance assailed him.


    Instantly, she threw herself into Chen Cang¡¯s arms, then, standing on tiptoe, her hands pulled Chen Cang¡¯s head down, and she kissed him on the forehead.


    ¡°I like you! Goodnight¡­¡±


    Her words rang in Chen Cang¡¯s ear, leaving him somewhat dumbstruck, his brain slightly malfunctioning.


    Chen Cang was a bit stunned.


    Also a bit dumbstruck.


    But more than anything, he felt blissful.


    He could feel the light touch from Qin Yue on his forehead, the warmth and the humidity of the contact causing an inexplicable tremble within Chen Cang.


    Watching Qin Yue hurriedly run inside the building and out of sight, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but stand there dumbfounded for a moment.


    This feeling was truly blissful.


    Surprise!


    Anticipation!


    Mischievously spirited.


    Feeling this sudden happiness, Chen Cang had to admit, deep down he was a bit overcome.


    Maybe that¡¯s how love should be.


    He wanted to reach out and touch his forehead, but he hesitated, afraid of erasing the scent of Qin Yue.


    Chen Cang stood there for a long time, while Qin Yue, at the corner of the stairwell, watched him still looking foolishly content and felt thoroughly pleased with herself, absolutely delighted.


    Is this what love is?


    Qin Yue felt as though she had fallen into a jar of honey.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Ji Ruyun, watching from below as Qin Yue suddenly ran into Chen Cang¡¯s arms and then kissed him on his forehead, became incredibly excited!


    Clenching Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s pajamas tightly in her hands, she was too thrilled for words!


    ¡°Kiss him!¡±


    ¡°Kiss him!¡±


    ¡°She kissed ¡­ she did! Haha ¡­ she kissed!¡±


    Watching like a fan of a romantic TV drama, Ji Ruyun felt extremely satisfied, as if she too had returned to those carefree youthful days.


    This must be her daughter¡¯s first love, right?


    Thinking this, Ji Ruyun was suddenly very happy and took out her phone to capture the moment.


    Maybe, many years later, when they see this photograph, they will surely be happy and blissful.


    But not everyone shares the same joy or sorrow.


    Mr. Qin, witnessing this scene, couldn¡¯t help but feel a lump in his throat.


    For some reason, he felt a stinging sensation in his nose, as if it had a mind of its own, sour and astringent, tempting him to tears.


    With that thought, Mr. Qin quickly shook his head.


    He shouldn¡¯t be like this.


    Seeing his daughter¡¯s happiness, he should be joyful, so why the tears?


    But Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help himself, feeling as if a piece of his heart had been sliced away.


    It was very uncomfortable.


    With that, Mr. Qin didn¡¯t want to watch any longer, he got up and returned to sit on the sofa, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat in silence.


    Meanwhile, Ji Ruyun couldn¡¯t contain her excitement, holding her phone, she joyfully said, ¡°Tsk tsk, this photo came out really well!¡±


    ¡°Mr. Qin, let me show you.¡±


    While speaking, Ji Ruyun walked over to Mr. Qin with the camera, saying, ¡°Look, this angle is just perfect, it¡¯s a good shot, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Underneath the street light, Qin Yue standing on tiptoe, left a mark on Chen Cang¡¯s forehead.


    Her face was filled with happiness.


    ps: It¡¯s Monday tomorrow, Chen Cang has to go to work, the display of affection is over, and he¡¯s fed on dog food to his heart¡¯s content.

 Chapter 362 - Chapter 362: Chapter 363: The Greater the Pressure, The Bigger the Temper

    Chapter 362: Chapter 363: The Greater the Pressure, The Bigger the Temper


    On Monday morning, Chen Cang felt a different mood than usual; it was the first time he had felt such an urgency to get to his shift in the emergency room.


    He took out his cellphone and, looking at the sweet messages exchanged with Qin Yue, felt as though they were from another day.


    Especially when he saw the first message Qin Yue had sent him, his heart couldn¡¯t help but warm up.


    ¡°Little thief, you belong to me now, remember to stay pure!¡±


    Seeing this message, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh.


    ¡­


    The emergency room at seven in the morning was as busy as a marketplace.


    Monday morning marked the start of a city¡¯s hustle, be it the congested roads or the packed public transport.


    Even the emergency department of the second provincial hospital was extremely busy at this time.


    People who are in a rush to get to work are more likely to have minor incidents, with more bumps and bruises happening.


    Wang Yong was spread too thin, and there were already seven or eight people lined up for the emergency room; the internal medicine section was also swamped.


    The arrival of Chen Cang allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.


    Even the nurses looked at Chen Cang as if he were a savior.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, you¡¯ve arrived!¡± Xiaolin, who hadn¡¯t finished her night shift, hurriedly greeted him when she saw Chen Cang, ¡°There are a few patients over here who need a diagnosis.¡±


    Chen Cang put his phone into his pocket, changed into his white coat in the changing room, and started his daily work.


    [Ding! Daily task triggered, successfully diagnose 10 patients, and receive a lucky bag.]


    Chen Cang casually accepted the task and moved aside.


    Although it was just an ordinary daily task, Chen Cang always felt it was different from usual. Diagnosing ten patients wasn¡¯t difficult, was it?


    Was he overthinking it?


    In the midst of talking, Chen Cang led the patients to the consultation room, already preparing with patience.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Wu Yushu was fifty-two this year, with elderly parents above and young children below, and in between had a wife going through menopause.


    They say a man understands his destiny at fifty, but Wu Yushu didn¡¯t quite understand this saying.


    At fifty, he didn¡¯t dare comprehend his life¡¯s fate, for the pressures were too great.


    His mother, in her eighties, had just undergone surgery, which cost a significant amount of money, and now it was time for his son to get married.


    They had just bought a marriage house, priced at over three million, with a down payment of one million, draining Wu¡¯s savings accumulated over many years.


    Having bought a home, it needed to be furnished, a betrothal gift for the wedding had to be given, and preparations for the wedding feast and celebrations all required money¡ªit was a never-ending cycle.


    Wu Yushu was overwhelmed!


    He was morose all day long.


    If a person is under too much pressure, they easily become sullen, irritable, anxious, and short-tempered.


    Wu Yushu was just like this; he was a minor official in his unit, but his stern face meant no one gave him words of kindness. Even at home, his wife and son didn¡¯t dare say much upon seeing Wu Yushu¡¯s demeanor.


    His wife felt the same; she wanted to say something but feared making him angry, knowing that it would inevitably lead to an argument.


    Gradually, communication in the family dwindled.


    Sons buying houses, old people carrying mortgages somehow became mainstream in society. Although Wu was unwilling, after some thought, he bore it. After all, it¡¯s just a little more toil for a man, he thought.


    This morning, when he woke up, he suddenly felt an unbearable restlessness!


    His chest felt tight and he struggled to breathe, with a faint pain in the chest as well.


    Once he sat up, breathing felt a bit smoother, but as soon as he lay down, the discomfort was unbearable.


    Wu Yushu, who initially wanted to lie down a bit longer, quickly got up.


    Maybe it was because of the recent stress or smoking too much?


    His wife also noticed Wu Yushu¡¯s discomfort and asked in a hurry, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Old Wu, are you feeling ill?¡±


    Wu Yushu touched his chest, hesitating, ¡°I feel a stifling discomfort in my chest, and I can¡¯t quite figure out what¡¯s wrong. It just feels hard to breathe, and it gets better when I sit up, but when I lie down, it¡¯s suffocating!¡±


    Feeling distressed but unable to stop herself due to long-held habits, his wife scolded, ¡°Who asked you to smoke, smoking so much every day, no wonder you feel unwell!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wu Yushu didn¡¯t say much; maybe he had been smoking too much recently?!


    He should smoke less from now on.


    Wu Yushu could understand his wife¡¯s scolding.


    Wu Yushu also had some understanding of his physical condition; it wasn¡¯t a matter of just one or two days, as these symptoms flared up from time to time but would slowly get better after a few months.


    So, Wu Yushu didn¡¯t take it too seriously.


    At breakfast, Wu Yushu had no appetite, feeling tired and fatigued recently with a bloated stomach that failed to digest properly.


    Wu Yushu couldn¡¯t help but sigh, at fifty, life was indeed going downhill.


    Each day worse than the last.


    He wanted to rest but couldn¡¯t, the burdens he shouldered hadn¡¯t lightened at all.


    He would pass by the Second Provincial Hospital later to see what was wrong, and if necessary, buy some medicine.


    With that thought, Wu Yushu couldn¡¯t care less about his breakfast and hurriedly dressed, grabbed his bag, and left the house. When he passed by the Second Provincial Hospital, he registered for an emergency appointment to check if his gastric motility was insufficient or if it was chronic bronchitis rearing up again?


    While Wu Yushu was waiting in line, an old man in his seventies or eighties joined him, looking spry with white hair and a youthful complexion, wearing a tracksuit, lean and in high spirits, with bright eyes and a steady walk.


    This impressed Wu Yushu, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel envious.


    Touching his own belly, Wu Yushu sighed once more.


    Ah¡­


    Wouldn¡¯t it be nice to have this much energy at seventy or eighty?


    Just two more years of hard work and then retire!


    As soon as this thought entered his mind, Wu Yushu quickly shook his head; he couldn¡¯t retire yet with millions in mortgage debt on his shoulders!


    At the thought, Wu Yushu¡¯s breathing quickened once more.


    He couldn¡¯t help but cough a couple of times.


    At this time, the elder sat next to Wu Yushu, frowning slightly as he observed him but didn¡¯t say anything.


    Now curious, Wu Yushu didn¡¯t ask further but instead spoke tiredly with a smile, ¡°Old sir, you¡¯re in such good health.¡±


    The elder nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, ¡°At my age, I need to look after my health, and so do you.¡±


    Wu Yushu nodded, ¡°Yeah, I just felt unwell today and hurried over to check, at my age, with elders above and children below, I can¡¯t afford to fall ill.¡±


    Saying this, Wu Yushu couldn¡¯t help but laugh at himself.


    He realized that with acquaintances, he couldn¡¯t manage a smile, but with strangers, he could talk and laugh easily.


    The elder nodded, ¡°Since you¡¯re here, get a proper check-up and treatment, don¡¯t rush through it. Illness can be very troublesome sometimes.¡±


    Wu Yushu shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s not that serious, I understand my body, probably smoked too much recently, lacked exercise, and digestion¡¯s not good, that¡¯s why my belly is sticking out.¡±


    Hearing this, the elder sighed and couldn¡¯t help but still give some advice, ¡°Since you¡¯re here, better listen to what the doctor says, right?¡±


    Wu Yushu just smiled and said nothing; he was still planning to get some medicine and go to work.

 Chapter 363 - Chapter 363: Chapter 364: Advice from an Expert!

    Chapter 363: Chapter 364: Advice from an Expert!


    The elderly man entered the consultation room with Wu Yushu.


    Wu Yushu sat down across from Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor, hello.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and got straight to the point, ¡°Hmm, hello, what¡¯s making you uncomfortable?¡±


    Wu Yushu told the truth, ¡°This morning when I got up, I felt unbearable tightness in my chest, and I had some difficulty breathing. It got much better after I sat up. I¡¯ve had this situation before, it happens every year, but it always gets better after a while.¡±


    As he spoke, Wu Yushu continued, ¡°I smoke quite a bit, at least a pack a day, occasionally two, and I¡¯ve been smoking for over a decade.¡±


    Just as Chen Cang was about to ask more, Wu Yushu suddenly added, ¡°Oh right, I¡¯ve been feeling bloated recently, and my appetite is really poor. Could it be that my stomach motility is not good too?¡±


    ¡°Occasionally, I also have chest pain, and this area is also uncomfortable!¡±


    Wu Yushu touched the right side of his rib area, near the liver.


    The patient¡¯s conditions were numerous, and symptoms varied.


    However, the main symptom was still mainly difficulty in breathing.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang felt that it resembled chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.


    But¡­


    Respiratory distress and orthopnea are not solely diseases of the respiratory system.


    They could also be greatly related to the heart.


    Heart failure could also cause the above symptoms.


    After pondering for a moment, Chen Cang picked up his stethoscope and decided to first rule out a cardiac condition. He then said to Wu Yushu, ¡°Lie down on the bed, and I will listen.¡±


    Wu Yushu nodded.


    Chen Cang picked up the stethoscope and started listening in several cardiac auscultation areas.


    The first heart sound seemed to be weakened, and there was some murmur in the aortic valve¡¯s second auscultation area¡­ an early diastolic extra sound at the left sternal border between the third and fourth intercostal spaces.


    What did this represent?


    Chen Cang was somewhat perplexed.


    Cardiac auscultation was indeed a profound field.


    Chen Cang could only understand a fraction of it.


    There was definitely a problem, and with this in mind, Chen Cang felt the point of maximal impulse, which seemed¡­ a bit elusive to touch.


    What could this mean?


    Chen Cang then began percussing the heart, and the cardiac dullness area seemed a bit enlarged.


    What to do?


    At that moment, Chen Cang had a stroke of insight.


    If the patient had a heart condition, that was an easy matter to address.


    After all, he was the man with a hidden profession represented by the ¡°Cardiology,¡± ¡°Cardiac Surgery,¡± and ¡°Scientific Research¡± skill trees.


    He opened the cardiology Skill Book, and Chen Cang immediately noticed that among the level one operations, or basic skills, there were marks for many skills like ¡°Cardiac Auscultation,¡± ¡°Cardiac Percussion,¡± and so on.


    Chen Cang was instantly elated.


    He immediately chose to exchange for ¡°Cardiac Auscultation¡±!


    In just an instant, Chen Cang¡¯s mind was flooded with a stream of information, a wealth of knowledge about cardiac auscultation and diagnosis imprinted in his memory.


    Chen Cang felt as though he had undergone a baptism and teaching session in cardiac auscultation.


    ¡°Ding! Cardiac Auscultation: Master level; Diagnostic Passive Skill.¡±


    Now, when Chen Cang conducted the auscultation again, various pieces of information suddenly appeared in his mind.


    He matched them against the patient¡¯s condition continuously.


    After listening, Chen Cang frowned slightly, ¡°I suggest we do an electrocardiogram first, and then have a chest X-ray.¡±


    ¡°Your condition is quite complicated, and it might not be a simple case of difficulty breathing.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wu Yushu was momentarily startled.


    ¡°Really? Doctor? I understand my own condition quite well. I am very clear about my constitution; it gets much better after a couple of days.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve had this condition before.¡±


    As he said this, Wu Yushu went on, ¡°I¡¯m actually planning to go to work now. Oh right, I also have some stomach bloating and poor appetite, could it be insufficient gastric motility?¡±


    ¡°How about you grab me some medicine? The kind that strengthens stomach motility.¡±


    As he spoke, the man attempted to rise to his feet.


    At that moment, the elder placed his hand on Wu Yushu¡¯s wrist and said, ¡°Young man, there¡¯s no need to rush.¡±


    Suddenly, the elder frowned and said, ¡°Maybe we should take his blood pressure!¡±


    The man was immediately perplexed¡ªhis blood pressure had always been normal, hadn¡¯t it?


    However, taking blood pressure was no big deal.


    Chen Cang, looking at the elder, was briefly stunned but thought it better to check the blood pressure.


    When he fastened the cuff and measured, Chen Cang was shocked!


    The blood pressure was rather low!


    And more importantly¡­


    It wasn¡¯t a problem with the blood pressure!


    It was something else.


    At this thought, Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed!


    He noticed that the systolic pressures were different, prompting him to be extra cautious. While observing the man¡¯s breathing, he carefully measured the blood pressure again.


    As he heard the first Korotkoff sound, he quickly took note of the current systolic pressure, then meticulously watched Wu Yushu¡¯s breathing pattern before measuring again!


    He suddenly discovered a severe problem!


    That was, during Wu Yushu¡¯s inhalation, the Korotkoff sounds would disappear, only to reappear during exhalation!


    A term flashed through Chen Cang¡¯s mind: Pulsus paradoxus!


    At that moment, Chen Cang quickly turned his gaze to the elder who had asked him to take the blood pressure.


    His eyes were filled with reverence!


    This was an extraordinary person!


    Absolute master!


    But now was not the time to ponder on that¡ªthe situation called for a thorough examination.


    The appearance of pulsus paradoxus made it imperative for Chen Cang to examine Wu Yushu once more.


    What is pulsus paradoxus?


    It is a special pulse condition!


    It refers to the phenomenon where the pulse weakens significantly or even disappears during inhalation and reappears or returns to normal during exhalation.


    Detecting such a pulse is no simple task.


    Why did Chen Cang think the elder was impressive?


    Because of what the elder had just said: ¡°Go measure his blood pressure.¡±


    That phrase was pregnant with meaning!


    It contained a deep understanding of life and practice!


    First off, using a sphygmomanometer to observe pulsus paradoxus is often more obvious than manual palpation.


    Any experienced doctor can detect abnormalities when measuring blood pressure attentively.


    Don¡¯t underestimate blood pressure measurement¡ªa simple check can reveal many unique diseases and phenomena.


    Pulsus paradoxus is not one of the pulses of the extraordinary meridians, but a peculiar pulse condition, also known as ¡°respiratory pause pulse.¡±


    That is, it pauses during inhalation.


    This represents a rather dangerous condition, with several possible causes. One could be a large amount of pericardial effusion accompanied by cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, or a range of cardiac diseases. Of course, conditions like emphysema and significant pleural effusion can also manifest similarly, necessitating further diagnosis.


    However, regardless of the underlying disease, the presence of pulsus paradoxus is seldom a good sign!


    The elder had just asked Chen Cang to measure blood pressure, and this led to a significant discovery; Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel grateful.


    This was a formidable individual!


    Most certainly¡ªthey not only detected pulsus paradoxus in an instant but also did so without causing any fuss by having Chen Cang measure the blood pressure.


    A simple phrase directed Chen Cang to the core element for diagnosis.

 Chapter 364 - Chapter 364: Chapter 365: Encounter with a Big Shot!

    Chapter 364: Chapter 365: Encounter with a Big Shot!


    To diagnose a disease, there must be a key point!


    Only by discovering this key point can one truly diagnose the disease.


    This is what modern medicine refers to as: the gold standard of diagnosis!


    For instance, diagnosing tuberculosis might involve finding the tuberculosis bacillus in sputum cultures, or diagnosing cancer involves finding cancer cells in the tissue, and so on and so forth¡­


    But!


    Many diseases do not have a gold standard.


    This calls for finding a main clue that can help diagnose the disease!


    Once this is found, by following clues, one can help diagnose the disease.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath and his gaze upon the elder was filled with reverence.


    Chen Cang nodded slightly to signal his gratitude.


    The elderly man only smiled faintly, nodded, and said nothing.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    What made the elderly man formidable lay right here.


    But the most formidable aspect wasn¡¯t just here.


    It also lay in his philosophy of interacting with people.


    He knew that Wu Yushu had a problem, perhaps a serious one, but he wouldn¡¯t say it outright.


    He understood this was a hospital, where the doctor¡¯s word prevailed.


    Even though the elder was a renowned doctor, no matter how skilled, he would not overstep his bounds or gratuitously instruct Chen Cang on what to do.


    However, as a doctor, seeing a patient¡¯s diagnosis running into issues, his conscience wouldn¡¯t allow him to stand idly by.


    At this moment, suggesting that Chen Cang ¡°take the blood pressure¡± was a move of high emotional intelligence.


    If the elder had asked Chen Cang to take a chest X-ray, do an ECG, or even a cardiac ultrasound, that would be one thing, but would the patient be willing?


    What would the patient think?


    ¡°Your doctor can¡¯t make a diagnosis without someone else¡¯s help?¡±


    Would the patient think the doctor was incompetent?


    They might even refuse to follow the recommendation for further testing.


    But taking blood pressure is starting from the patient¡¯s perspective. Think about it: taking blood pressure is such a simple thing¡ªit doesn¡¯t cost money, just a straightforward checkup.


    Firstly, the patient doesn¡¯t have any psychological resistance and follows the advice.


    Secondly, the doctor can obtain many useful clues from it.


    It could be said that the problem was resolved effortlessly, which is quite impressive.


    Never underestimate the sphygmomanometer; it may seem simple.


    Yet, this blood pressure detection can reveal many things.


    This is where the sophistication lies.


    Pulsus paradoxus is the phenomenon where the pulse weakens significantly or even disappears during inhalation and reappears or returns to normal during exhalation. Observing this with a sphygmomanometer is more direct and evident than with manual palpation.


    An experienced doctor can feel a lot just by a simple touch.


    The occurrence of pulsus paradoxus is due to an increase in intrapericardial pressure, which limits ventricular diastolic filling. With inhalation, systemic venous return is restricted, reducing the volume of blood the right ventricle pumps into pulmonary circulation. Pulmonary circulation is influenced by respiratory negative pressure, causing pulmonary vessels to dilate, which decreases the volume of blood flowing from the pulmonary veins into the left heart, reducing left heart output and causing the pulse to weaken or even disappear.


    Pulsus paradoxus is commonly seen in right heart failure, pericardial effusion, and constrictive pericarditis, as well as severe asthma and other diseases.


    With this diagnosis, what Chen Cang needed to do next became clear and straightforward.


    Combining the cardiac auscultation sounds from before with the current pulsus paradoxus, Chen Cang now had a substantial understanding of Wu Yushu¡¯s condition.


    It was almost certainly constrictive pericarditis!


    However, to confirm the diagnosis, there must be evidence. Thinking this, Chen Cang began to observe carefully. With Wu Yushu¡¯s breathing, the bulging jugular veins in his neck could be faintly seen, but due to being somewhat overweight, they weren¡¯t very pronounced.


    Chen Cang remembered Wu Yushu saying that he had come with symptoms of abdominal distension, indigestion, and poor appetite.


    He said, ¡°Let me feel your abdomen.¡±


    Wu Yushu cooperatively raised his leg.


    After Chen Cang performed an abdominal percussion, he fell silent for a moment. There might be fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity, accompanied by an enlarged liver.


    At this point, Chen Cang had already made a rough diagnosis.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang asked in detail about the patient¡¯s medical history and precipitating factors.


    Afterward, Chen Cang looked at Wu Yushu, ¡°Based on your symptoms and my examination just now, I feel you¡¯re more likely suffering from constrictive pericarditis.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wu Yushu¡¯s eyelid twitched reflexively, startled by the medical term.


    He had heard of pneumonia and rhinitis, but this was the first time he had heard of pericarditis!


    With this thought, Wu Yushu¡¯s complexion changed, ¡°What is pericarditis? What does it mean?¡±


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°Constrictive pericarditis is a disease caused by chronic inflammation of the pericardium. Over the long term, it leads to thickening, adhesion, and even calcification of the pericardium, restricting the expansion and contraction of the heart, resulting in reduced heart function and causing systemic blood circulation disorders.¡±


    ¡°Your difficulty breathing, chest pain, including abdominal distention, are all directly related to this!¡±


    Truth be told, Wu Yushu was quite frightened when he heard this.


    He could not afford to be ill¡­


    That was crucial.


    The heavy burden was on him; how could he dare to fall ill?


    He didn¡¯t even dare to rest, let alone get sick.


    Thinking this, Wu Yushu quickly asked, ¡°Doctor, is my condition serious?¡±


    Whether it was serious or not was hard to say, but seeing Wu Yushu¡¯s condition, Chen Cang had to speak the truth:


    ¡°To be honest, it¡¯s not a simple disease. If it continues to develop over the long term, it will not only affect the cardiovascular system but may also involve the liver, lungs, and other systemic diseases.¡±


    Wu Yushu felt a jolt in his heart, ¡°Does this require hospitalization? Or can I just take some anti-inflammatory medication?¡±


    In Wu Yushu¡¯s mind, inflammation should be treated with anti-inflammatory medicine, right?


    But inflammation of the heart¡­ that made him feel unsure.


    Having heard Chen Cang¡¯s explanation, which seemed quite serious, Wu Yushu became scared.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help shaking his head, ¡°With constrictive pericarditis, the main treatment is surgery, supported by medication. The earlier, the better. And the fluid in your abdominal cavity needs to be drained. My suggestion is to arrange for hospitalization as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°After you¡¯re admitted to the hospital, complete the relevant examinations, and then we can devise a specific treatment.¡±


    Chen Cang had said all that needed to be said.


    He could see that Wu Yushu seemed somewhat resistant to the examinations, probably for one of two reasons: either financial pressure or the loss of time.


    But when the disease comes, treatment still needs to be carried out.


    However, the examinations could be done after hospitalization.


    That way, insurance could cover a large part of the costs of the examinations.


    This was the best Chen Cang could do.


    Therefore, Chen Cang did not insist on Wu Yushu having the examination done in the outpatient clinic immediately; he hoped that Wu Yushu could be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible, for the same reasoning.


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Wu Yushu fell silent, sitting there, saying nothing for a long time.


    At this time, Chen Cang saw the next patient, an elderly person.


    Seeing the elderly person, Chen Cang didn¡¯t know what to say. After thinking, he instead offered, ¡°Elderly sir, how may I assist you?¡±


    The old man passed over the emergency room registration, ¡°I need an ECG, I¡¯m feeling a bit of palpitations.¡±


    Once Chen Cang saw the old man¡¯s name, his eyes narrowed!


    That name might not mean much to most people.


    But in the medical field of Dongyang Province, or rather, in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, the significance was too different.


    Chen Cang had come across this name by chance, and never expected to meet such a luminary!


    National Medical Master: Zheng Sanshui!


    ps: Hehe, this is the third update for now, actually


    The extraordinary vessels, they are truly quite interesting, something I have indeed encountered before.


    Lastly¡­ shamelessly asking for your votes, cough cough!

 Chapter 365 - Chapter 365: Chapter 366: Finally, we can brush up on goodwill without any scruples.

    Chapter 365: Chapter 366: Finally, we can brush up on goodwill without any scruples.


    ¡°`


    ps: Don¡¯t read this chapter, don¡¯t subscribe! It¡¯s stuck due to a system issue, just like the next chapter. I thought it was published, so I reposted it.


    I¡¯m really frustrated. Damn it!


    After Chen Cang personally conducted the electrocardiogram for Old Master Zheng, he picked up the results and began to examine them.


    There were signs of premature beats, arrhythmia, and some myocardial ischemia, but for someone of his advanced age, it was fairly normal.


    With a smile, the elderly Zheng Sanshui watched Chen Cang and asked, ¡°Nothing serious, right?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and honestly replied, ¡°Yes, there are premature beats, some myocardial ischemia, and arrhythmia.¡±


    While talking, Chen Cang passed the electrocardiogram results to the elder, who took a glance and immediately smiled, ¡°Not bad, a very good reading!¡±


    Hearing Old Master Zheng¡¯s appraisal, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but blush, feeling a bit like he was showing off his skills before an expert.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang laughed awkwardly.


    After the electrocardiogram is finished, the ECG machine typically provides an automated interpretation.


    However, this interpretation is often imprecise, so experienced doctors almost always review the charts themselves, seldom relying entirely on the machine¡¯s assessment.


    Old Master Zheng smiled lightly, ¡°Ah, the older one gets, the more ailments there are. Thank you, Dr. Chen, isn¡¯t it? You¡¯ve really done well.¡±


    After speaking, he gave a faint smile, glanced meaningfully at Chen Cang, and then got up and left.


    Zheng Sanshui thought highly of Chen Cang¡¯s performance today.


    Despite being young, at just about twenty-something, the level of competence he displayed was something Zheng Sanshui admired.


    Not to mention anything else, his ability to understand the ¡°Extraordinary Vessels¡± using a sphygmomanometer was a capability in itself.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t escort him out, as there was another patient waiting for him.


    Frankly, Chen Cang hadn¡¯t expected to encounter Old Master Zheng on an emergency call in the morning.


    Now serving as the honorary president of Dongyang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the over seventy-year-old still held clinics twice a week. It was likely that on his morning exercise route he passed by and decided to stop in for an ECG.


    In fact, with a single phone call, his disciples would have rushed to his home with an ECG machine in tow.


    You must realize, being a master of national medicine isn¡¯t just a personal accomplishment, but a collective expertise!


    Put plainly, Old Master Zheng is a treasure of Dongyang Province.


    Whether it¡¯s Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine, whoever can cure is a good doctor.


    Moreover, real medical professionals never reject each other, because all paths lead to the same goal, and every theory is a good method to cure diseases.


    Just as Old Master Zheng was doing that morning, even he needed an ECG; it¡¯s the same principle.


    Furthermore, the fact that Old Master Zheng could advice Chen Cang to check blood pressure also clearly showed his understanding of the ¡°Extraordinary Vessels¡± was not limited to traditional Chinese medicine but also encompassed modern medical theories.


    Chen Cang had seen many Western medicine experts delve into and study Traditional Chinese Medicine, seeking validation for various disease etiologies and diagnostic methods.


    The appearance of Old Master Zheng gave Chen Cang much to reflect on.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, Wu Yushu hesitated for a long time before finally making a decision!


    Hospitalization it is!


    Health is the capital of revolution. If something happened to himself, then¡­ his family would be ruined. It was better to get the illness treated first.


    With that in mind, Wu Yushu began to contact his company.


    After making phone calls for several minutes and handing over work, dealing with a plethora of matters,


    he finally returned to the office and said, ¡°Dr. Chen, I¡¯ll go home to get my health insurance card and medical booklet, then come back for hospital admission. When I return¡­ should I still come to you?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°You go get ready, and when you come back, I¡¯ll contact the cardiothoracic surgery department for you. You¡¯ll need surgery later on, so it¡¯s more appropriate to be admitted there.¡±


    Chen Cang did not insist on having Wu Yushu stay in his department just because he could perform the constrictive pericarditis surgery.


    Because treating a disease is not just a matter of a straightforward surgery, but involves many procedures, such as nursing care and the enforcement of medical orders, and so on.


    Constrictive pericarditis surgery is not common in emergency situations, so admitting a patient for it in the emergency department could be somewhat irresponsible.


    Naturally, Chen Cang would not admit a patient to the emergency department just so he could upgrade his surgery level.


    After nodding and thanking Chen Cang, Wu Yushu got up and left.


    ¡­


    ¡°`


    ¡­


    Not long after, it was time to change shifts, and Chen Cang found himself unable to resist staring at Qin Yue, and¡­ he was a bit distracted.


    Chen Cang quickly shook his head and concentrated.


    But¡­ he couldn¡¯t help but sneak another glance at Qin Yue yet again.


    Qin Yue, feeling embarrassed by Chen Cang¡¯s gaze, couldn¡¯t resist glaring at him, which made him behave himself.


    Mainly because¡­ Qin Yue also felt a tickling of the heart being watched by Chen Cang.


    The two of them were like cats that had stolen cream, sneaking around furtively.


    Chen Cang finally understood why office romances were discouraged¡ªthey were detrimental to work efficiency.


    It was time for the weekly meeting with the matron, Tian Xianglan, so Chen Cang simply opened up his attribute panel and started looking at it.


    [Chen Cang, Level: 29:1200/11600. (Class change achieved)


    Occupation 1: Thoracic Surgeon: 12 points.


    Occupation 2: Cardiac Surgeon (Hidden Occupation): 19 points.]


    Chen Cang was slightly startled, he hadn¡¯t expected his cardiac surgery occupation score to overtake thoracic surgery so quickly. Thinking of this, Chen Cang was also somewhat surprised.


    It seemed that the recent period had not been wasted at all.


    Chen Cang suddenly felt that cardiac surgery was a breakthrough point; after all, in his skill tree, every skill was a purple Master-level skill, and according to the system prompt, a purple skill +4 points.


    emmmm¡­


    Just twenty-five cardiac surgery skills were needed to break the 100 occupation score, and then he could smoothly unlock the third occupation.


    However, he was only 31 points away from a Level 4 cardiac surgery skill.


    This made Chen Cang happy.


    Cardiac surgery, being a highly specialized surgical system, meant that most of his operations were Level 4 surgeries, which put Chen Cang in an awkward position; to learn Level 4 skills, he had to have an occupation score of 50 points.


    It looked like he would have to surprise Mentor Meng at Dongyang University¡¯s First Hospital soon.


    Regarding favorability, Chen Cang had discovered a little trick: licking up was useless and had a limit; once favorability rose to 20 points, licking lost its effect.


    However, the shocking effect was great; a shock would add favorability each time. Chen Cang had already figured it out; as long as he shocked Mentor Meng a few times, the favorability could be rapidly increased.


    Today, he redeemed the ¡°Heart Auscultation¡± once, costing him 10 points of favorability; now, Chen Cang¡¯s favorability towards Meng Xi became [Favorability: 40 (remaining 30)]


    Chen Cang understood what this meant: it signified that his relationship with Mentor Meng would always stay at 40, but the actual value was only 30.


    But¡­


    After seeing this number, Chen Cang fell into thought.


    He worried, what if his favorability with Mentor Meng reached 100, what kind of situation would arise?


    With that thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but look up at Qin Yue.


    I really didn¡¯t plan on cheating¡­


    The system forced me.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang seriously wondered what his current favorability was with Qin Yue.


    Chen Cang discreetly checked the favorability.


    [Qin Yue: Favorability (Romance): 30.]


    Chen Cang was stunned; how had favorability acquired an added ¡°Romance¡±?


    [Ding! Favorability system, there are many kinds, including: familial, romantic, mentor-disciple, friendship, and¡­ various emotions.


    Increasing favorability only strengthens a particular type of relationship over time.]


    Chen Cang sighed with relief.


    He realized he had been overthinking; his and Mentor Meng¡¯s relationship should be that of mentor-disciple.


    After all, the thought of his favorability with old Chen breaking through 70 had made him quite anxious.


    It appeared he could now unabashedly increase the favorability from now on.


    And his favorability with Qin Yue had already turned into Romance.

 Chapter 366 - Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Diagnosing Solely Based on Physical Signs?

    Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Diagnosing Solely Based on Physical Signs?


    ¡°`


    Chen Cang personally completed the EKG for Old Master Zheng and picked up the result to examine it.


    There was some premature ventricular contractions, arrhythmia, and signs of myocardial ischemia, but given his advanced age, it¡¯s quite normal.


    Old Mr. Zheng Sanshui looked at Chen Cang with a smile and asked, ¡°Nothing serious, right?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and answered truthfully, ¡°Yes, there¡¯s some premature contraction, as well as myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Cang passed the EKG result to the old man, who glanced at it and immediately smiled, ¡°Not bad, well seen!¡±


    Hearing Old Master Zheng¡¯s praise, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but blush, feeling a bit like he was showing off basic skills to an expert.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang smiled awkwardly.


    After an EKG, the machine usually provides a result.


    However, this result is often not very accurate, so experienced doctors generally read the chart themselves and rarely rely on the machine¡¯s interpretation.


    Old Master Zheng gave a slight smile, ¡°Ah, with old age come many problems. Thank you, young Dr. Chen, right? You did really well.¡±


    After saying this, he gave a faint smile with a meaningful look at Chen Cang, then got up and left.


    Old Mr. Zheng Sanshui was very complimentary of Chen Cang¡¯s performance today.


    Despite being young, only in his twenties, to have such expertise was something Zheng Sanshui truly admired.


    Not to mention identifying the pulses and using a sphygmomanometer to measure them; that alone is a skill.


    Chen Cang did not see him out because there was another patient waiting for him.


    To tell the truth, Chen Cang had not expected to encounter Old Master Zheng in an emergency room session this morning.


    Old Master Zheng is now the honorary president of Dongyang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In his seventies, he still holds outpatient clinics twice a week and likely passed by that morning for exercise and just dropped in to get an EKG on his way.


    Actually, with a single phone call, his disciples would have brought the EKG machine right to his home.


    You should understand that a national medical master represents not just an individual¡¯s prowess but the ability of a group!


    To put it plainly, Old Master Zheng is a treasure of Dongyang Province.


    Whether in traditional or Western medicine, a doctor who can cure diseases is a good doctor.


    Moreover, true medical experts never reject each other, for all paths lead to the same goal, and all theories that can cure diseases are valid approaches.


    Just like Old Master Zheng got an EKG that morning, for the same reason.


    Furthermore, the fact that Old Master Zheng was able to advise Chen Cang on checking blood pressure shows that his understanding of the extraordinary pulses was not limited to traditional Chinese medicine but also encompassed modern medical theories.


    Chen Cang had seen many Western medicine experts study and learn about traditional Chinese medicine in search of verification for the etiology and diagnostic methods for certain diseases.


    The appearance of Old Master Zheng gave Chen Cang much to reflect on.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, Wu Yushu hesitated for a long time and finally made a decision!


    Be admitted to the hospital!


    Your health is the capital of revolution; if something really happened to you, then¡­ this family would be ruined. Better to take care of the illness first.


    Thinking this, Wu Yushu began to contact his company.


    After making phone calls for several minutes and handing over his work, a lot of tasks were settled.


    Then he returned to the office and said, ¡°Dr. Chen, I¡¯ll go home to retrieve my health insurance card and medical booklet, then come back to be admitted. When I return¡­ should I still look for you?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Go and get ready, and when you¡¯re back, I¡¯ll help you get in touch with the department of cardiothoracic surgery. You¡¯ll need surgery in the later stage, so it¡¯s more appropriate for you to be hospitalized there.¡±


    Chen Cang did not insist on admitting Wu Yushu to his own department just because he could perform constrictive pericarditis surgery.


    The treatment of a disease is not just a simple surgery problem; it includes many other procedures, such as nursing care and the implementation of doctors¡¯ orders, among others.


    Constrictive pericarditis surgery is not commonly seen in emergencies, so staying in the emergency department would be somewhat irresponsible to the patient.


    Naturally, Chen Cang would not let the patient be admitted to the emergency department just so he could upgrade his own surgical experience.


    After nodding in thanks, Wu Yushu got up and left.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°`


    Before long, it was time to change shifts, and Chen Cang found himself unable to resist the urge to stare at Qin Yue, and moreover¡­ he was somewhat distracted.


    Chen Cang quickly shook his head and focused his attention.


    But¡­ he couldn¡¯t help but sneak another peek at Qin Yue.


    Qin Yue¡¯s face turned red from Chen Cang¡¯s gaze, and she couldn¡¯t resist glaring at him, which made him behave.


    Primarily because¡­ the way Chen Cang looked at her also made her feel a bit itchy in her heart, unable to resist.


    The two of them were like cats that had stolen a taste of something forbidden, sneaky and furtive.


    Chen Cang finally understood why office romances were discouraged: they were not conducive to improving work efficiency.


    It was time again for the weekly visit from the head nurse, Tian Xianglan, and Chen Cang decided to just open his attribute panel and take a look.


    [Chen Cang, Level: 29:1200/11600. (Already Class Changed)


    Career 1: Thoracic Surgeon: 12 points.


    Career 2: Cardiothoracic Surgeon (Hidden Career): 19 points.]


    Chen Cang was slightly stunned; he hadn¡¯t expected that his cardiothoracic surgery career score would surpass thoracic surgery so soon. Thinking about this, Chen Cang was also somewhat surprised.


    It seems this period of time was indeed not wasted.


    Chen Cang suddenly felt that cardiothoracic surgery was a breakthrough point since, in his skill tree, each skill was a purple-colored master-level skill, and according to the system prompt, purple skills add +4 points.


    emmmm¡­


    A mere twenty-five cardiothoracic surgery skills could break through a career score of 100, and then he would be able to smoothly unlock the third career.


    However, he was only 31 points away from the level 4 cardiothoracic surgery skill.


    This made Chen Cang quite happy.


    Given that cardiothoracic surgery is a highly specialized surgical system, most of his surgeries are level 4, which made Chen Cang very embarrassed. To learn level 4 skills, he must have a career score of at least 50 points.


    It seems I¡¯ll have to go to Dongyang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine¡¯s First Hospital to astonish Teacher Meng soon.


    When it came to affection ratings, Chen Cang discovered a little trick: grovelling was useless, there¡¯s a limit, and the effectiveness of grovelling disappears once the affection rating increased to 20 points.


    But the surprise effect was great; every time you surprised someone, their affection rating increased, and Chen Cang had already planned to astonish Teacher Meng a few more times to make the affection rating surge upwards.


    Today he exchanged once for [Heart Auscultation] at the cost of 10 points of affection rating, turning his affection rating for Meng Xi into [Affection Rating: 40(remaining 30)]


    Chen Cang understood what that meant¡ªit meant that his relationship with Teacher Meng would always stay at 40, but the actual value was only 30.


    But¡­


    Upon seeing this number, Chen Cang fell into thought.


    He was worried, what would happen if Teacher Meng¡¯s affection rating for him reached 100?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but look up at Qin Yue.


    I really didn¡¯t plan to cheat¡­


    It¡¯s the system¡¯s doing.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang forcefully realized a problem: what exactly was his current affection rating with Qin Yue?


    Chen Cang discreetly opened the affection rating.


    [Qin Yue: Affection Rating (Romantic): 30.]


    Chen Cang was startled, what¡¯s with the additional romantic in the affection rating?


    [Ding! The Affection Rating System has many types, including: familial, romantic, teacher-student, friendship, and¡­ various feelings.


    Increasing the affection rating will only make your particular type of sentiment grow stronger.]


    Chen Cang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.


    He found that he had overthought things; his relationship with Teacher Meng should belong to teacher-student affection.


    After all, seeing that the affection rating with Teacher Chen had surpassed 70, Chen Cang felt very anxious inside.


    It seemed that he could unscrupulously increase the affection rating from now on.


    And his affection rating with Qin Yue had already transformed into romantic love.

 Chapter 367 - Chapter 367: Chapter 367: This kid has improved again.

    Chapter 367: Chapter 367: This kid has improved again.


    Wu Yushu returned home, and his wife and children had all gone to work.


    After searching for a long time, he still couldn¡¯t find his health insurance card; his wife usually took care of such things, always keeping them neat and orderly.


    At this thought, Wu Yushu suddenly felt that his wife had a hard life.


    She went to work every day, took care of the house, and looked after the needs of the whole family, old and young.


    And he realized that he really lacked concern for his wife ordinarily.


    Moreover, the stress made Wu Yushu communicate with his wife very infrequently.


    Really¡­


    Sigh¡­


    At that thought, Wu Yushu suddenly sighed.


    Really, what¡¯s the point of earning so much money if one is not around?


    Actually, people are like this, only when you are sick or at your lowest, do you suddenly become a lot more clear-headed.


    This was Wu Yushu¡¯s first surgery in his life, and to be honest, he was very nervous and anxious.


    He had originally thought to admit himself to the hospital quietly before telling anyone, not wanting his family to worry about him.


    Wu Yushu was somewhat of a traditionalist, always making decisions on his own when it came to major family issues.


    Now it seemed, he still had to contact his wife.


    Thinking this, Wu Yushu picked up his phone and hesitantly dialed his wife¡¯s number.


    Wu Yushu¡¯s wife, Cheng Aimei, was a primary school teacher. She was in the middle of a lesson when she saw her husband¡¯s call, pausing in surprise. What could her husband want at this time?


    She picked up the phone and stepped out of the classroom.


    ¡°Hello? Old Wu, I¡¯m in the middle of teaching, what¡¯s up?¡± Cheng Aimei asked curiously.


    Wu Yushu sighed, ¡°Well¡­ Wife, where¡¯s my health insurance booklet and card?¡±


    One sentence, and Cheng Aimei immediately froze, what did he need the health insurance booklet for?


    It made sense to ask for the card, it could be for buying medicine, but¡­ the health insurance booklet was for when you¡¯re hospitalized!


    So at that thought, Cheng Aimei¡¯s expression changed, and she felt extreme anxiety.


    ¡°Old Wu, you¡­ what¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t scare me!¡±


    All these years, although Wu Yushu had a bad temper, as his wife Cheng Aimei understood in her heart that it was because of the great pressure he was under.


    As a wife, her greatest effort was to help relieve her husband¡¯s worries.


    But hearing suddenly that her husband needed to be hospitalized truly frightened her.


    Wu Yushu spoke the truth, ¡°Wife, remember I woke up this morning feeling short of breath? On my way to work, I passed by the provincial second hospital and decided to see a doctor in the emergency department. The doctor suspects I have constrictive pericarditis and need surgery.¡±


    Before Wu Yushu could finish speaking, his wife Cheng Aimei was stunned.


    For the average person, the word ¡°surgery,¡± once mentioned, indicates a serious problem.


    Furthermore, it was a problem with Wu Yushu¡¯s heart¡ªit was heart surgery!


    At that point, Cheng Aimei could not think about teaching any longer and hurriedly said, ¡°Old Wu, wait for me, I¡¯m coming home right now, I¡¯ll go with you!¡±


    After hanging up, Cheng Aimei hastily requested leave from her superiors, asked her colleagues to cover for her, and rushed home.


    On the way home, Cheng Aimei was filled with dread, afraid that something might happen to Old Wu.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When the couple arrived at the emergency department of the provincial second hospital, it was already ten in the morning.


    Wu Yushu, with his wife by his side, found Chen Cang and quickly said, ¡°Doctor Chen, I¡¯ve brought her, please do us the favor of making the arrangements.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded. He had intended to send Wu Yushu directly to the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, but on second thought, decided to call Tao Zi and explain the situation to him first.


    At that moment, Tao Zi was doing his rounds, and upon seeing Chen Cang¡¯s call, his feelings were mixed.


    To Tao Zi, there were both love and hate feelings towards Chen Cang!


    This kid, studying cardiothoracic surgery, doesn¡¯t report to his own mentor when applying for a graduate tutor; Tao Zi felt angry just thinking about it.


    But then he remembered Chen Cang¡¯s recent operation in the emergency surgery room, and he had to admit, the man was talented.


    He hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone, but he didn¡¯t speak. He wanted to wait for Chen Cang to speak first, after all¡­ he was someone with status.


    When Chen Cang heard the call connect but no one spoke, he was momentarily stunned, ¡°Hello? Director Tao, are you there?¡±


    Tao Zi nodded, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m on rounds, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Upon hearing that Tao Zi was on rounds, Chen Cang thought: Perfect!


    ¡°Here¡¯s the situation, a patient came into the emergency department with dyspnea. The physical examination revealed paradoxical pulse, and he also has hepatomegaly and abdominal effusion¡­ I suspect it¡¯s constrictive pericarditis, and surgery might be needed. Shall I send the patient up?¡±


    As soon as Tao Zi heard this, he was immediately intrigued.


    ¡°Is it diagnosed yet?¡± Tao Zi asked.


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°I was thinking of admitting the patient and then completing the relevant examinations, but based on all the signs I can pretty much confirm it¡¯s constrictive pericarditis. The specifics will still need a hospital diagnosis. Director Tao, could you make the arrangements?¡±


    Tao Zi was slightly curious; diagnosing constrictive pericarditis was not difficult.


    But diagnosing constrictive pericarditis based solely on physical signs was much more challenging.


    Tao Zi became quite interested in this patient and also felt surprised at Chen Cang¡¯s progress.


    After all, Chen Cang had not been exposed to cardiothoracic surgery for very long.


    A medical discipline is not just about surgery; it also includes a comprehensive judgment of disease presentation, auxiliary examinations, diagnosis, treatment, and so on.


    And constrictive pericarditis was considered a sophisticated disease. Had Chen Cang also mastered this?


    This left Tao Zi truly expecting and curious about Chen Cang¡¯s skills.


    Could it really be that obvious?


    With this thought in mind, Tao Zi said, ¡°Alright, good, have the patient come up.¡±


    He then hung up the phone.


    At that moment, Tao Zi happened to see that bed 19 was empty and casually asked, ¡°Who¡¯s in charge of bed 19?¡±


    Zhang Wenfu replied, ¡°Director, I am.¡±


    Tao Zi looked at Zhang Wenfu and said, ¡°A patient is coming up from the emergency department, suspected to have constrictive pericarditis. Take care of it.¡±


    Zhang Wenfu nodded, ¡°Understood.¡±


    In fact, Tao Zi was considering another matter.


    Thinking of this, as he was doing rounds, Tao Zi asked the attending physicians and graduate students a question, ¡°If you rely solely on physical signs, without auxiliary examinations, who among you can diagnose constrictive pericarditis?¡±


    As soon as he posed the question, the physicians around him were momentarily stunned.


    What does that mean?


    Why is the director asking this question?


    Isn¡¯t constrictive pericarditis diagnosed through both physical signs and auxiliary examinations?


    Isn¡¯t it difficult to diagnose based purely on physical signs?


    At this thought, Tao Zi suddenly decided that when the patient arrived, he would have these physicians give the graduate students a clinical lesson on diagnosing constrictive pericarditis!


    Clinically, reliance on auxiliary examinations is necessary.


    But it¡¯s also crucial to understand the importance of physical signs and disease characteristics.


    There is nothing that helps students advance faster than clinical courses.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Hehe, delivering five chapters, hope you big bosses enjoy reading¡­ remember to vote!


    Busy all morning, doctoral admissions have started, let¡¯s go, old-timers!


    Sorry, there was a system delay, and the original chapter 366 couldn¡¯t be displayed. I¡¯ve postponed it by a chapter, my apologies!

 Chapter 368 - Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Without Equipment, Can You Still Treat Patients?

    Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Without Equipment, Can You Still Treat Patients?


    Wu Yushu was quickly admitted to bed 19 of the cardiothoracic surgery ward, and the attending physician was Zhang Wenfu, a senior attending doctor.


    Tao Zi intended to use the patient as a case for a clinical teaching session for everyone.


    Many students were not very familiar with constrictive pericarditis, as most cardiothoracic patients had cardiovascular diseases and valvular heart diseases. This type of chronic pericarditis, which was protracted and not cured, was relatively rare.


    Therefore, Tao Zi had a thought and decided to treat it as a teaching round.


    ¡­


    Qian Lin, along with the graduate students beside him who were curiously observing the patient, took out paper and pen and began taking notes.


    Clinical teaching is about cultivating the ability to think clinically about the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.


    The other doctors and students gathered behind, while Zhang Wenfu stood in front asking about the patient¡¯s history.


    Zhang Wenfu was a bit nervous!


    After all, previous teaching rounds had a script, with the patients¡¯ conditions memorized by heart.


    But this time, it was real action.


    It put anyone on edge.


    All the more so due to facing a patient with constrictive pericarditis, a condition rarely seen in clinical practice!


    Thinking of this, Zhang Wenfu muttered to himself, ¡°Just don¡¯t embarrass yourself¡­¡±


    Behind him were all the doctors from the department and a group of students¡­ and most importantly, Director Tao Zi was right behind watching everything unfold.


    If anything went wrong¡­ that would be a tragedy!


    With this in mind, Zhang Wenfu began a detailed collection of the patient¡¯s history.


    It had to be said that Zhang Wenfu indeed was an experienced doctor, collecting patient information comprehensively, quickly obtaining some meaningful clues.


    But then!


    After inquiring about the medical history, Zhang Wenfu became even more anxious¡­


    Because the symptoms seemed more like COPD! (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).


    Zhang Wenfu panicked a little. To diagnose constrictive pericarditis solely through physical examination was quite challenging and tested a clinician¡¯s grasp of the signs of this disease.


    Could it be¡­ a misdiagnosis by the emergency physician?


    As this thought struck him, Zhang Wenfu¡¯s eyes lit up. After all, such cases weren¡¯t uncommon in clinical practice, and the emergency department, being a transfer department, often saw unclear diagnoses.


    But then, he personally called the director, and the diagnosis should indeed be constrictive pericarditis!


    Well then, let¡¯s proceed with the assumption of constrictive pericarditis.


    He conjured up all the signs of constrictive pericarditis in his mind, set his determination, and went through the examination step by step.


    He wouldn¡¯t backtrack, nor could he afford to second-guess, right?


    With that thought, Zhang Wenfu picked up the stethoscope and began to listen. Upon listening, hmm, there indeed were some abnormalities in the heart sounds,


    Next was the percussion of the heart, and it seemed off too, hmm, the dullness border was a bit large!


    Then came the physical examination¡­


    Until finally, Zhang Wenfu had a moment of clarity: this should indeed be a case of constrictive pericarditis!


    At that moment, Zhang Wenfu couldn¡¯t help but admire the emergency department doctor.


    He had some difficulty even with clear evidence of constrictive pericarditis, but how challenging must it have been for them to make the diagnosis?


    With this in mind, Zhang Wenfu became curious, who was that impressive physician?


    Could it be Director Li Baoshan?


    Zhang Wenfu asked curiously, ¡°Do you know what illness you had before?¡±


    Wu Yushu shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know. Just like Dr. Chen said, I might have had this chronic condition before but never paid attention to it. It wasn¡¯t until Dr. Chen diagnosed me with constrictive pericarditis that I realized it.¡±


    Tao Zi was curious about how little Chen made the diagnosis.


    Thinking of this, Tao Zi asked, ¡°How did the emergency department doctor diagnose you?¡±


    Wu Yushu thought for a moment, ¡°In the morning, there were quite a few patients, so Dr. Chen just listened to my heart, checked my blood pressure, felt my abdomen and said that I might have constrictive pericarditis¡­ It all took less than five or six minutes.¡±


    Everyone around was stunned.


    Tao Zi swallowed, what on earth was Meng Xi capable of, to allow someone to improve so quickly?


    Tao Zi said, ¡°Didn¡¯t they do an electrocardiogram?¡±


    Wu Yushu nodded, ¡°Yeah, no, Dr. Chen told me to come up here and get a comprehensive check-up after being admitted.¡±


    Tao Zi responded, ¡°Xiao Zhang, give the medical order to complete the relevant examinations as soon as possible, and we will continue to discuss this case tomorrow morning.¡±


    Zhang Wenfu nodded, ordering the relevant examinations for the patient; chest X-rays, echocardiogram, abdominal ultrasound, electrocardiogram¡­ as well as various physiological and biochemical tests.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day during the shift change, Tao Zi looked at Wu Yushu¡¯s reports, all signs indicating that the patient indeed had constrictive pericarditis.


    Tao Zi was somewhat emotional, and said to the crowd, ¡°Bed 19¡¯s Wu Yushu has been diagnosed with constrictive pericarditis, but¡­ this serves as a wake-up call for us.¡±


    ¡°The emergency room doctor could make a clear diagnosis without any auxiliary examination, but ask yourselves, everyone, could you have been certain just with a physical examination and questioning?¡±


    With that, everyone fell silent.


    Zhang Wenfu also couldn¡¯t help but blush. To be honest, without prior knowledge of the constrictive pericarditis, could he have diagnosed it clearly?


    It wasn¡¯t just Zhang Wenfu. The surrounding crowd also couldn¡¯t help but reflect.


    Maybe they could¡­?


    Tao Zi, with a serious expression and tone, said earnestly, ¡°As clinical doctors, if you go to grassroots level, to rural areas, where there¡¯s not even an ultrasound or X-ray machine, let alone CT or MRI, and a patient comes to you, with only a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope, can you make a judgement? Can you give the patient a relatively accurate response?¡±


    Tao Zi even felt somewhat disappointed as he spoke.


    Many doctors today had already lost the ability to think independently, reliant on equipment, dependent on tests for diagnosis. If that¡¯s all it took to diagnose, who couldn¡¯t be a doctor?


    ¡°I¡¯m not saying you¡¯re not good enough. I think every doctor, since you¡¯re involved in clinical work, must develop yourself. Instrumental examinations are good, they can help us make clearer diagnoses, but you must not forget some basic clinical operations.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, patients will laugh at us. Without instruments, can you still practice medicine?¡±


    When Tao Zi reached the last sentence, his voice rose noticeably!


    In everyone¡¯s minds echoed that question, lingering long after.


    ¡°Without instruments, can you practice medicine?¡±


    Doctor after doctor couldn¡¯t help but clench their fists, the words piercing their hearts like a needle.


    The entire office was deathly quiet.


    Tao Zi looked around, then suddenly said loudly, ¡°Starting next week, we will have a small ward round once a week, starting with cardiac auscultation. I need you to remember the auscultation sounds for every type of disease!


    A stethoscope can tell us a lot, these are experiences you must learn. Now take a look at yourselves, how many of you wear your stethoscope every day? Some people don¡¯t even bring a stethoscope on rounds, do you even look like a cardiologist?¡±


    After that, Tao Zi left with a dark face, saying, ¡°Alright, meeting dismissed!¡±


    He walked out without paying attention to the crowd.

 Chapter 369 - Chapter 369: Chapter 369: What is a good-looking and useful girlfriend?

    Chapter 369: Chapter 369: What is a good-looking and useful girlfriend?


    Actually, Wu Yushu brought over by Chen Cang was just a catalyst.


    Tao Zi had been feeling uncomfortable about this matter for quite some time.


    Cardiothoracic surgery is indeed a part of the surgical system, and it¡¯s true that surgeons often have slightly inferior diagnostic abilities compared to internists.


    That¡¯s the undeniable truth.


    However, when Tao Zi saw the doctors in his department neglecting even to carry stethoscopes, he became quite angry.


    Tao Zi¡¯s words were effective, at least now everyone looks professional during rounds, listening intently with stethoscopes in hand.


    Don¡¯t think that having more seniority necessarily means you¡¯re better than the students. Medical knowledge is complex; if you don¡¯t review it, you¡¯ll forget it just the same.


    Therefore, we must strengthen the doctors¡¯ diagnostic skills. You are not surgical machines, nor do you rely solely on instruments to diagnose patients; you are doctors!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s life used to be a simple case of going back and forth between two points, but now he had an additional task: every evening, he had to make sure to take Qin Yue, his little bootlicker, out for a walk to boost their rapport.


    Like at this moment: [Ding! Walk successful. Qin Yue rapport +1.]


    Indeed, dating can strengthen a relationship, which makes perfect sense.


    The only thing that doesn¡¯t seem to make sense is why his rapport with Dean Qin would decrease?


    [Ding! Qin Xiaoyuan rapport -0.5!]


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Forget it, forget it!


    I have Qin Yue; why would I be afraid I can¡¯t handle you?


    Chen Cang shook his head, completely unfazed, showing no sign of stress.


    There was a park next to Provincial Hospital No. 2. On summer evenings, it buzzed with activity. Listening to the ladies dance, Qin Yue would occasionally join in for a while.


    Around ten o¡¯clock, Chen Cang dropped Qin Yue off downstairs and watched her go upstairs happily, which greatly improved his mood.


    When he got home, he discovered a missed call from Director Tao Zi.


    Chen Cang promptly returned the call: ¡°Director Tao, were you looking for me? I didn¡¯t hear the phone earlier.¡±


    Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but mutter a complaint to himself, but still spoke cheerfully, ¡°About tomorrow, Wu Yushu is scheduled for surgery, and since he¡¯s essentially a patient you brought in, I will perform the operation personally. If you have the time, come and lend me a hand!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately became excited. To be honest, Director Tao had really treated him well; the last pericardiotomy was taught to him by the director himself, and including the task of five operations, none of it could have happened without Director Tao.


    Director Tao truly treated Chen Cang well, even better than Qian Lin¡ªat least he always had Chen Cang in mind.


    Chen Cang¡¯s face lit up with joy, and he said with a laugh, ¡°I¡¯ll have time, definitely have time, heh heh! Thank you, Director, thank you so much! I¡¯m really grateful to Director Tao!¡±


    Tao Zi chuckled. It really did come down to personal chemistry; Tao Zi genuinely liked Chen Cang. Even though Chen Cang did not choose to report to him as a mentor, Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help wanting to support this young man.


    Because he truly admired Chen Cang, Tao Zi felt Chen Cang was gifted and had a bright future. So even though he scolded Chen Cang verbally, when it came to surgery, he still wanted Chen Cang to learn something.


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s response, Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, pleased with the young man¡¯s perceptiveness: ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll notify you of the specific time tomorrow.¡±


    After hanging up, Chen Cang thought of Tao Zi¡¯s slightly stern face behind his glasses and couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Chen Cang had a Skill Book for constrictive pericarditis surgery, which he decided to activate and entered the training space.


    The familiar scene unfolded before Chen Cang¡¯s eyes, still in teaching mode.


    He went through another session of learning about the anatomy of the pericardium, heart, blood vessels, and the chest wall.


    Every training session, this process was indispensable. While it wasn¡¯t a bad thing for Chen Cang, the only downside was that recently, whenever he looked at someone, he couldn¡¯t help but think where would be the best place to make an incision if their heart had issues.


    The next part of the lesson was about the location of the incision.


    The position of the opening in pericardial surgery can make a significant difference, as it requires choosing an appropriate entry point based on imaging to better expose the surgical field. What seems like a minor issue can actually have a huge impact.


    As one surgery after another appeared before Chen Cang, he simulated and dissected over and over again, turning each experience into knowledge that entered his mind.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t know how much time had passed when he opened his eyes again, and the system prompt sounded.


    [Ding! Constrictive Pericarditis Surgery: Master level; Special effects: 1. Safety: Skillful technique allows you to avoid damaging many unnecessary blood vessels, nerves, and the endocardium. 2: Thoroughness: Precise and delicate maneuvers let you skillfully dissect and separate the pericardium, improving the success rate of the surgery.]


    Chen Cang looked at the two skills, very pleased!


    However, his gains were far more than that, including many things, such as the choice of incision. Even though it wasn¡¯t a special effect, Chen Cang felt it was not any less critical than a special effect.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After washing up, Chen Cang went to bed early, opened his phone, and saw that Qin Yue, the little bootlicker, had sent him a message.


    ¡°Since we¡¯ve been apart, this is the 18th time I¡¯ve missed you.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw the message. He really wanted to post on Moments, ¡°What¡¯s it like to have a cute girlfriend?¡±


    No, that¡¯s not right!


    At that thought, Chen Cang suddenly realized he seemed to have inadvertently completed a task!


    With this in mind, he didn¡¯t delay in replying to Qin Yue but hurriedly opened the virtual screen¡¯s reward claim interface.


    As he suspected!


    Chen Cang saw two unclaimed rewards.


    One was a daily task, a small lucky bag.


    And the other was:


    [Ding! Task completed: Having a good-looking girlfriend, reward obtained, Jing Ran¡¯s basic skill: Rib Internal Fixation Technique!]


    [Rib Internal Fixation Technique: Master level; Special effects: 1. Firmness; 2. Precision.]


    Chen Cang was a bit surprised; this skill was great, and it was a master-level skill.


    It belonged to a commonly used thoracic surgery skill.


    Alas, he had accidentally shorn Jing Ran¡¯s wool again.


    The Rib Internal Fixation Technique, technically termed Rib Fracture Internal Fixation Technique, is a skill often used in thoracic surgery.


    Well, if you¡¯re a bit poetic, the ribs could be considered windows to the heart!


    However, Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand. Was Qin Yue, the little bootlicker, not good enough?


    One should know that the second girlfriend task was [Find a girlfriend who is both good-looking and useful!]


    Chen Cang thought his little girlfriend was quite fun, wasn¡¯t she?


    So why didn¡¯t it count as both good-looking and useful?


    This left the simple-minded Chen Cang somewhat puzzled.


    Oh well, better to tease the little bootlicker and go to bed early.


    With that thought, Chen Cang sent an emoji of patting the bed, signaling her to come sleep.


    Qin Yue, the playful one, directly responded with a Teddy emoji sticking out its tongue and drooling.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    If this girlfriend isn¡¯t fun, where else could he find one that is?


    Yep, my girl is the most fun!

 Chapter 370 - Chapter 370: Chapter 370: You Scoundrel, Dont You Dare Show Off!

    Chapter 370: Chapter 370: You Scoundrel, Don¡¯t You Dare Show Off!


    Chen Cang arrived at the hospital early and placed the breakfast he bought on Qin Yue¡¯s desk¡ªa simple serving of soy milk, a steamed bun, and a tea egg.


    Qin Yue usually got up late in the morning and often ran out after just drinking a glass of milk.


    Chen Cang decided to buy her breakfast early.


    But just as he turned around, he saw Qin Yue rushing in, carrying a breakfast in her hand.


    Seeing Chen Cang, she smiled mischievously, holding out the breakfast like presenting a treasure, her eyes curved and incredibly adorable, ¡°Here, your breakfast!¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the milk mark at the corner of Qin Yue¡¯s mouth and couldn¡¯t help but smile, raising his hand to wipe it off, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you sleep a little longer?¡±


    Qin Yue smiled, ¡°I wanted to buy you breakfast.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but pinch Qin Yue¡¯s cheek, then pointed to the desk, ¡°I already ate earlier, look! I bought breakfast for you. Eat it while it¡¯s hot, I¡¯ll go see if Qian¡¯er needs any help.¡±


    ¡°Sleep in more next time, I¡¯ll buy breakfast!¡±


    Qin Yue chuckled, suddenly feeling like the happiest person in the world.


    She sneakily pecked Chen Cang on the cheek.


    Just then, Shi Na walked in, and Qin Yue quickly approached, ¡°Teacher, the breakfast I bought for you!¡±


    Shi Na was momentarily taken aback, ¡°Spill it, Qin Yue, what do you need today?¡±


    Qin Yue hurriedly said with a smile, ¡°Nothing, just bought too much.¡±


    Shi Na hmm¡¯d in doubt, glancing at the breakfast on Qin Yue¡¯s desk, thoughtful¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Around ten in the morning, Chen Cang received a call from Tao Zi, ¡°Xiao Chen, come to Operating Room 4, we¡¯re about to start the surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang quickly nodded and stood up, heading towards the operating room.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t plan to operate himself, and certainly, Tao Zi wouldn¡¯t let him either. After all, no one would joke with a patient¡¯s life.


    Moreover, constrictive pericarditis surgery was a high-risk procedure by nature. If the pericardium and the outer membrane of the heart were seriously adhered, and something went wrong during separation, damaging the heart or surrounding coronary vessels, who would take the responsibility?


    While Chen Cang was washing his hands, Qian Lin and a colleague from cardiothoracic surgery came over and suddenly said with a smile, ¡°Huh? Teacher Chen, what are you doing here?¡±


    Ever since Chen Cang had given a lecture to his classmates, he had gained the nickname ¡°Teacher Chen.¡±


    Well, at least it sounded better than ¡®Old Chen¡¯.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Here to observe a surgery!¡±


    At this, Qian Lin asked curiously, ¡°Does your department have a surgery?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°Nope! It¡¯s a cardiothoracic surgery, constrictive pericarditis. Didn¡¯t I transfer a patient to your department the other day? Director Tao said there was a surgery today and asked me to come and watch.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Lin and his colleague were momentarily stunned. Could it be¡­


    With this thought, Qian Lin swallowed nervously.


    He cautiously asked, ¡°Are you talking about Wu Yushu?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah! That¡¯s right, Wu Yushu. You know about that patient too?¡±


    Qian Lin and his classmate exchanged glances. How could they not know?


    Because of this patient, Director Tao was absolutely furious, and everyone was working to improve their skills in physical examination.


    Lately, every doctor in cardiothoracic surgery carried a booklet with things like: s1 murmurs are¡­ diastolic gallop rhythm is¡­


    Everyone was walking on eggshells lately, fearing to be stumped by a question from the director.


    Thinking about this, both of them interiorly grimaced at the thought that crossed their minds¡­


    Qian Lin couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Teacher Chen, it wasn¡¯t you who diagnosed and sent up Wu Yushu, was it?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah, it was me. Why?¡±


    Qian Lin and his classmate were dumbfounded!


    It really was him!


    Thinking this, Qian Lin almost wished he could throw his little booklet at Chen Cang¡¯s face, then point at him, and curse loudly, ¡°Scoundrel! It¡¯s all your fault. I wondered why Director Tao¡¯s looks have been increasingly disdainful when he looked at me lately. It¡¯s all because of you! You scoundrel.¡±


    Thinking about it, Qian Lin gritted his teeth with righteous indignation as he stared at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen you scoundrel, you¡­ you¡¯ve ruined my future!¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, Teacher Chen had been so affectionate, and now I¡¯m being called a scoundrel.


    Hah, men!


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t I your little benefactor? How did I become a scoundrel? You fickle, dead fatty!¡±


    Qian Lin gave a glaring eye, ¡°You still have the nerve to say that? It¡¯s all your fault! Do you know that? Now, Director Tao looks at me with more and more disdain. He¡¯s about to cast me out of his school!¡±


    Qian Lin wanted to show that he was very angry, very fierce!


    It¡¯s just that Qian Lin¡¯s angry look wasn¡¯t fierce at all, that naive and cuddly chubby face looked more like a panda. Chen Cang saw his iron-naive appearance, sighed, and let it be, let it be, a handsome person does not remember an ugly one¡¯s mistakes.


    Seeing Chen Cang unmoved, Qian Lin immediately wilted, his thoughts turning. To make the teacher pay attention to him again, killing Chen Cang would be useless. He could only let Chen Cang make him look good by comparison.


    ¡°Chen, my benefactor, no, Teacher Chen, Uncle Chen, can we discuss a matter?¡±


    Chen Cang, curious, glanced sideways, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Qian Lin, looking pitiful and miserable, said, ¡°Could you maybe not perform so outstandingly?¡±


    Classmate A nodded, agreeing deeply, with a similarly approving expression, looking at Chen Cang, ¡°You being so excellent makes the rest of us look like idiots.¡±


    Chen Cang sighed helplessly.


    Is it wrong to be excellent?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Under the promise of three milk teas and a hot pot meal from Qian Lin, Chen Cang agreed not to show off, not to flaunt his skills, or showcase his moves during today¡¯s surgery. He better not make noise or talk too much.


    Chen Cang felt this deal was sure to be profitable!


    He even decided that, after the surgery, he would share this good news with Qin Yue, telling her, ¡°Your man has earned you a meal of hot pot.¡± Ah¡­ the feeling of getting something for nothing is always great.


    At this moment, Tao Zi happened to come by and saw the three men washing their hands.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, she smiled warmly, like the gentle sun in March, the breeze in April, and said affectionately, ¡°Xiao Chen, you¡¯re here. Come and assist me in a bit!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and smiled, ¡°Yes, Director.¡±


    Tao Zi smiled faintly, watching Chen Cang with increasing satisfaction, not arrogant or impetuous, good-looking and capable, the key was his ability, ¡°Hmm, very good!¡±


    After that, she turned to Qian Lin and Classmate A, her face changing as she sternly said, ¡°Qian Lin, Xiao Yang, you two are in the same class as Xiao Chen, right?¡±


    Qian Lin and Classmate A nodded helplessly.


    Tao Zi sighed, ¡°I¡¯m not criticizing you, but you really have to apply yourselves more to your studies. You are known by the company you keep, so stay closer to Xiao Chen and learn from him.¡±


    After saying that, Tao Zi sighed again and headed for the operating room.


    Leaving the three standing at the door.


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°I¡­¡±


    Qian Lin clenched his fists tightly, ¡°You what you!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned and then sighed again, ¡°This¡­¡±


    Classmate A, ¡°Still talking!¡±


    Chen Cang looked wronged and helpless, after all¡­ I really haven¡¯t done anything!


    Shaking his head, he kicked open the door of the operating room and walked in.


    Forget it, I won¡¯t show off during the surgery, I¡¯ll just focus on being a good assistant.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: I¡¯d like to apologize to everyone here. Due to system reasons, when Chapter 366 was published, I accidentally released an extra chapter, and then it came out again, causing inconvenience.


    But it¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t want to delete it; it¡¯s that as a VIP chapter, the author can¡¯t make modifications.


    Thanks to the editor for making the changes for me, it shows that my subscription was probably deducted too, and you all got your refunds, right?

 Chapter 371 - Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Director Taos Change of Attitude

    Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Director Tao¡¯s Change of Attitude


    The atmosphere in the operating room didn¡¯t seem to be so tense.


    After all, with Director Tao Zi personally leading the operation, everyone was relatively more relaxed.


    Zhang Wenfu was assisting, Chen Cang was supposed to be the second assistant, while Qian Lin and a fellow student were there for moral support, handling tasks like tying knots and hooking up equipment.


    However, this was already quite satisfactory to the two of them.


    Do not assume that every student gets a chance to participate in surgery, especially first-year postgraduates.


    Before the surgery had even started, anesthesiologist Liu Jian was chatting with Director Tao on the side, while the nurse Yuan Yuan, under the envious gaze of Qian Lin and his classmate, helped Chen Cang into his surgical gown.


    But Chen Cang suddenly remembered an issue that needed consideration: how to choose the site for the incision.


    Thinking of this, he turned around, ¡°Yuan Yuan, bring out the examination report, let me see the chest film and the ultrasound.¡±


    Kong Yuanyuan nodded, took out the films, and upon seeing them, Chen Cang slightly frowned.


    Based on this chest film, it was certain that the patient had pericardial adhesions, but Chen Cang needed to determine where exactly these adhesions were located, as different adhesion sites would mean different incision choices.


    Under the X-ray results, the cardiac silhouette was notably irregular, somewhat stiff, with an enlarged superior mediastinum, and Chen Cang looked on in silence.


    Seeing this, Tao Zi¡¯s eyes revealed a touch of appreciation; he knew what Chen Cang was doing.


    Qian Lin and his classmate noticed their teacher¡¯s look, smartly turned around, and moved behind Chen Cang, nodding at the images many times.


    Qian Lin nodded thoughtfully, ¡°Mm, that¡¯s it, right there, that calcification point!¡±


    His classmate also eagerly agreed, ¡°Mm-hmm, lots of them.¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    A few minutes later, Chen Cang had a plan in mind.


    For a surgeon, having a plan is crucial and most important; it meant that he had a detailed strategy for the operation, from the beginning to the end.


    The surgery soon began.


    Tao Zi picked up the scalpel and, after some consideration, began to operate.


    With this first move, Chen Cang understood the intention behind Director Tao¡¯s choice.


    The incision chosen was a ¡°bilateral trans-sternal thoracotomy¡±!


    True to form as an experienced director, Tao¡¯s choice of incision immediately impressed Chen Cang.


    Zhang Wenfu¡¯s eyelids twitched, and he quickly reached for gauze to staunch the bleeding, while Chen Cang discreetly picked up a pair of forceps, knowing that since Director Tao had chosen this particular incision, the goal was clear: to enlarge the surgical field, taking into account both sides of the heart.


    Consequently, forceps had to be prepared in order to better facilitate the next steps.


    Indeed, without looking up, Tao Zi called out:


    ¡°Spreader forceps!¡±


    No sooner had his voice faded than Chen Cang had already handed over the forceps.


    Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but look up, and seeing the spreader forceps in Chen Cang¡¯s hand, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Having such an assistant made the surgery all the more comfortable.


    After that, Chen Cang was able to efficiently handle anything Director Tao needed, at any time, and even took the initiative to assist during separations, all without needing any reminders from Director Tao.


    The surgery had Zhang Wenfu feeling exhilarated, as if he was watching an episode of ¡°Let¡¯s & Go!!¡±


    Fast! Fast! Fast!


    Charge! Charge! Charge!


    The surgery brothers in action¡­


    Because the collaboration between the director and Chen Cang was so seamless, and Zhang Wenfu couldn¡¯t be of much help, he felt a bit clumsy!


    So, without making a fuss, Zhang Wenfu switched places with Chen Cang.


    The operation was progressing smoothly.


    Although Director Tao was over fifty, his techniques were still extremely meticulous.


    As soon as they cut through the muscle and entered the chest cavity, Chen Cang immediately took over the hemostat, quickly secured the internal thoracic artery, and then cut it off.


    Then it was necessary to sever the fifth rib near the sternum!


    As far as possible, they needed to expand the chest, including the thoracic cavity.


    The next phase of separation work was a real display of skill, as it required the sharp dissection of the left phrenic nerve from within the pericardium. Moreover, it was necessary to carry as much fat or soft tissue as possible to avoid damaging the phrenic nerve.


    The entire process was very meticulous, and it was only at this time that Chen Cang realized how steady Director Tao¡¯s hands were!


    The work that followed was extremely delicate.


    Even though Chen Cang was already a master of constrictive pericarditis surgery, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of awe when observing Director Tao.


    Truly impressive!


    One could only say that each had their own strengths.


    There was potential for mutual improvement. Director Tao¡¯s overall perspective was much better than Chen Cang¡¯s, evident from the start of the procedure.


    He thought the ¡°bilateral anterior thoracic transverse incision¡± had very clear advantages. It provided the best exposure among the various incisions, allowing consideration of both sides of the heart and complete removal of the pericardium. Moreover, it facilitated easy management of any unexpected events during the surgery!


    This approach was very much in line with Wu Yushu¡¯s condition.


    Because Wu Yushu¡¯s medical condition had been present for a long time, it would be difficult to accurately assess the pericardium without surgery¡ªa direct approach.


    However, there were drawbacks. Chen Cang felt that using a ¡°left anterolateral thoracic incision + bilateral anterior thoracic transverse incision¡± might be better.


    In doing so, it would clearly reduce the impact on lung function.


    No significant harm done!


    The surgery continued.


    After the pericardium was exposed, a series of information flashed before Chen Cang¡¯s eyes:


    [Constrictive Pericarditis Monster, lv55, elite level, with severe adhesions, careful dissection required.]


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned¡ªthis was no ordinary constrictive pericarditis.


    Indeed!


    At that moment, just as Director Tao made an incision in the pericardium, the situation before him made him pause.


    The incision hadn¡¯t reached the surface of the myocardium!


    This was because the adhesion between the pericardium and the epicardium had become dense and indistinct!


    This indicated that there were significant adhesions between the visceral and parietal layers of the pericardium.


    Director Tao immediately felt a surge of relief, grateful for having chosen this particular incision!


    Otherwise, it would have been troublesome¡­


    At this time, Chen Cang had already passed over the scalpel blade.


    Because of the situation, a sharp dissection was necessary!


    Director Tao was momentarily startled: How did this young Chen figure it out?


    While Director Tao remained composed on the surface, his mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Surgery was all about the details, after all.


    And it seemed that Chen Cang had a smooth grasp of each step, even preparing for the next move before Director Tao had made his!


    How could Director Tao not be shocked?


    It was quite clear what this meant: Chen Cang was not only capable of performing constrictive pericarditis surgeries but could be said to excel at them¡ªeven possibly on par with himself!


    At this realization, the impact on Director Tao¡¯s heart was truly beyond anyone¡¯s expectations!


    This young Chen was really something¡­


    Sigh¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    As the surgery slowly progressed, Director Tao felt a multitude of emotions.


    How long had it been?


    How long had it been since he had comfortably performed such a surgery.


    Having a highly skilled assistant was an extraordinary feeling.


    After all¡­ who with such talent would assist him?


    With this thought, Director Tao couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply¡­


    Maybe there really were geniuses in this world, and at this moment, Director Tao suddenly understood Qian Lin and Classmate A a bit more¡­


    ps: I¡¯ll post the second chapter in a while, I¡¯m afraid it might get stuck again, so I¡¯ll wait five minutes to post¡­

 Chapter 372 - Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Caring for the Intellectually Disabled

    Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Caring for the Intellectually Disabled


    ¡°`


    At that moment, Tao Zi felt as if he could sense the pain of Qian Lin and Student Jia!


    It was truly demoralizing to be stacked up against such a freak, and even more so by oneself¡­


    Thinking of this, Tao Zi breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been too harsh on them and should consider their feelings more in the future.


    After all¡­ not everyone is a genius.


    Right!


    With that thought, the look Tao Zi gave to Qian Lin and Student Jia softened somewhat.


    But¡­


    To Qian Lin and Student Jia, this gaze was like a thunderbolt from the ninth heaven!


    Shock!


    Qian Lin¡¯s face paled with horror. What the hell have I done again?


    What on earth did I do?


    Is there something wrong with an eye-contact assist?


    However, thinking of Director Tao¡¯s gaze, Qian Lin felt a surge of unease and panic.


    What virtues or abilities do I, Qian Lin, possess to deserve such a gentle look from Director Tao?


    What on earth did I do wrong?


    Could it be¡­ could it be because I didn¡¯t look passionately enough at the pericardium?


    Or¡­ or could it be because my love for the heart isn¡¯t deep enough?


    This gaze is dangerous!


    For from Director Tao¡¯s gaze, Qian Lin sensed pity, consolation, understanding, approval, helplessness¡­ and even a touch of reflection!


    This is not normal at all!


    It wasn¡¯t just Qian Lin, even Student Jia couldn¡¯t help but sigh and swallow hard!


    Calm and undisturbed as still water in their hearts¡­


    Has that day finally come?


    Am I going to be the first graduate student to be expelled by my mentor?


    At this thought, Student Jia felt a profound sadness.


    However, when he turned to look at Qian Lin, his mood lightened somewhat.


    After all, I¡¯m not the only one.


    Right, at least I have company!


    With that thought, Student Jia felt slightly reassured.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The surgery proceeded slowly.


    Chen Cang watched the surgery from beginning to end with a mindset of learning and comparison.


    With Chen Cang¡¯s help, Tao Zi¡¯s pace of surgery also sped up a bit.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang received a system notification!


    [Ding! Apprenticeship theft successful. Tao Zi¡¯s skill acquired: Constrictive Pericarditis Surgery! Grandmaster level.]


    Chen Cang was stunned.


    What the hell¡­


    This apprenticeship theft skill!


    You say when you should be stealing, you don¡¯t, no, when you should be learning, you don¡¯t learn!


    Now you¡¯ve learned a skill I already have.


    You tell me!


    Chen Cang grumbled internally, wishing he could suck out that pleural effusion and spray it in Qian Lin¡¯s face.


    I already have the Constrictive Pericarditis Surgery skill, and now I have another one.


    However, soon after, Chen Cang received another system notification!


    [Ding, it has been detected that you already possess Constrictive Pericarditis Surgery; the special effects of your surgery have increased.]


    [Constrictive Pericarditis Surgery: Grandmaster level; Special Effects: 1. Safe; 2. Meticulous; 3. Precise Separation; 4. Minimal Complications.]


    Looking at the two new special effects, Chen Cang thought that these must be Director Tao¡¯s ultimate techniques, right?


    In the blink of an eye, Chen Cang felt a flood of information stream into his mind, and his Constrictive Pericarditis Surgery, well, improved a lot!


    Another fifteen minutes passed, and the surgery finally concluded.


    Tao Zi glanced at the clock and saw that they had finished fifteen minutes ahead of the usual time!


    All of this was thanks to Chen Cang!


    Meanwhile, Zhang Wenfu was completely moved. Although he didn¡¯t take part in the surgery, he had a profound understanding of it.


    ¡°`


    Zhang Wenfu eventually focused not on Director Tao but on Chen Cang for the entire procedure.


    He found that, in fact, many details from Chen Cang were extremely beneficial to him.


    After all¡­


    Typically, Zhang Wenfu was not the chief surgeon; he was merely an assistant, with so many directors above him; all he had to do was his part.


    Therefore, today, Chen Cang performed the role of assistant to perfection, elevating Director Tao¡¯s master-level operation directly to grandmaster-level!


    That¡¯s the power of a good assistant.


    At that moment, Zhang Wenfu looked at Chen Cang with fervent admiration.


    After the surgery, he was definitely going to have a good talk with Chen Cang and learn from each other.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Before long, the surgery ended.


    Tao Zi looked at Chen Cang with a somewhat strange expression.


    He always felt that Chen Cang had many unique insights and thoughts about the surgery.


    This intrigued Tao Zi.


    As a surgeon, the thing he yearned for the most was to continuously improve his surgical skills and to identify his own shortcomings.


    But at Tao Zi¡¯s level, how many people could pinpoint his shortcomings?


    Even if these less experienced doctors like Zhang Wenfu noticed something, they might not dare to speak up!


    Of course, without sufficient understanding, they wouldn¡¯t even notice in the first place!


    With surgery, standing at different heights yields vastly different perspectives and understandings.


    Although Chen Cang did not say extra words from beginning to end, or even show much obvious expression on his face.


    But!


    Who is Tao Zi?


    A director in his fifties, who has seen more of life than most!


    He had his own way of reading people and situations, and he had seen Chen Cang frowning slightly in thought several times¡ªthe look in his eyes was just like the one he had when looking at junior doctors!


    Thinking of this, Tao Zi felt an unbearable itch.


    Where could he possibly have gone wrong?


    Just a few days ago, Xia Gaofeng had just invited him to East University Hospital to perform a constrictive pericarditis surgery and to give a lecture on the topic afterward.


    With his current abilities, he could impress most people without any problem!


    But it wasn¡¯t quite enough to impress Xia Gaofeng!


    He was just a little bit short.


    And Chen Cang was his chance to overcome this shortcoming.


    With this thought, Tao Zi was eager and turned to say, ¡°Xiao Chen, come to my office later, I¡¯ve got something to discuss with you!¡±


    Chen Cang looked bewildered but nodded.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After Tao Zi finished speaking, he looked at Qian Lin and Student A, smiling slightly like a benevolent teacher.


    At this moment, Tao Zi felt that he shouldn¡¯t put these two on the same level as Chen Cang.


    He should teach them according to their capabilities!


    After all, not everyone is Chen Cang.


    With this in mind, Tao Zi looked at the two.


    ¡°Qian, Xiao Yang, you¡¯ve done well today. When you go back, make sure to read up, take the surgical videos with you, study them carefully, and strive for the next time you can be an assistant!¡±


    After saying this, Tao Zi¡¯s encouraging gaze patted Qian Lin and Student A.


    He then turned and left.


    Leaving the two of them in astonishment.


    Qian Lin was somewhat taken aback.


    ¡°Why has the teacher changed his tune so suddenly? Why is he being so nice to us?¡±


    Student A shook his head, his demeanor calm, and uttered, ¡°Don¡¯t you think the teacher¡¯s look towards us is kind of like that thing?¡±


    Qian Lin looked puzzled, shaking his head and asking, ¡°Like what?¡±


    Student A sighed deeply, ¡°Like the way you look at a child with intellectual disabilities¡­¡±


    Qian Lin shivered, his hefty body trembling, and recalling Director Tao¡¯s last look, he felt somewhat desperate¡­


    Director Tao, it would be better if you still had some qualms about us¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Here are five chapters delivered; I overestimated my typing speed a bit, it¡¯s really tough keeping up with fifty chapters.

 Chapter 373 - Chapter 373: Chapter 373: I... My Dao Heart is Unstable.

    Chapter 373: Chapter 373: I¡­ My Dao Heart is Unstable.


    The surgery was over, and Qian Lin and his classmate were overwhelmed with emotions!


    Looking at Chen Cang, they hesitated to speak.


    Chen Cang turned around and also seemed at a loss for words.


    Both sides sighed deeply.


    Everything was understood without a word.


    Zhang Wenfu was ready to call out to Chen Cang, wanting to discuss insights on assisting in surgery, but seeing Tao Zi watching Chen Cang carefully, he also opened his mouth and stuttered for a long time without saying anything.


    Watching Director Tao leave with Chen Cang, Zhang Wenfu looked resentfully at Tao Zi¡¯s departing figure, grumbling unwillingly, ¡°Hmph! You lost an assistant with ambition.¡±


    If I had learned Chen Cang¡¯s assisting skills, wouldn¡¯t it be you directors who benefited?


    No vision!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Tao Zi brought Chen Cang back to the cardiothoracic surgery office and asked him to sit down.


    Chen Cang was puzzled, wondering why Tao Zi wanted to see him.


    He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director Tao? Just tell me what you want to say!¡±


    Tao Zi smiled slightly, ¡°No rush, no rush, sit down, have some tea first.¡±


    Then he took out two boxes of fine tea leaves from the drawer, smiling at Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, would you like Longjing or Lapsang Souchong?¡±


    Chen Cang was anxious, thinking that there could be an ulterior motive in such unexpected kindness!


    Could it be that Director Tao was here as a lifesaver sent by Dean Qin?


    With this thought, Chen Cang quickly spoke up, ¡°No need, no need, Director, if there¡¯s nothing else, I should get back to the emergency room.¡±


    Tao Zi hurriedly responded, ¡°Sit down, the ER will keep running without you, don¡¯t be in such a hurry!


    Xiao Chen, I called you over, actually, just to talk about the surgery today.¡±


    Upon hearing the word ¡®surgery,¡¯ Chen Cang finally sat down.


    Tao Zi looked at him thoughtfully and said, ¡°Xiao Chen, you should know how to perform constrictive pericarditis surgery, right?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, answering honestly, ¡°Yes, I can.¡±


    Tao Zi, hearing this, nodded again, ¡°Oh! Then having seen my surgery today, what do you think?¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t need to think because he had watched the surgery very attentively and in detail. He could obviously tell the differences clearly and¡­ most importantly, Tao Zi¡¯s skills were now in his own pocket, merged with his own skills, so it would be strange if he didn¡¯t understand!


    Chen Cang replied directly, ¡°Very good!¡±


    Tao Zi¡¯s smile twitched!


    Did I ask you to come here to flatter me?


    ¡°Be more specific!¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, thinking that the old man wanted more praise.


    Would you believe if I called my father-in-law here?


    Chen Cang: ¡°I think the surgery had a great overall view. It was hard to determine the adhesion sites from the patient¡¯s imaging results, and there were many calcified areas. Choosing a bilateral sub-mammary incision was convenient for the operative field and handling. And, the most crucial point, your technique was very steady during surgery, and it seemed very well-considered. I believe it¡¯ll play a significant role in the patient¡¯s recovery and in reducing sequelae!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s words were music to Tao Zi¡¯s ears!


    He was delighted to listen.


    Tao Zi was sure that Chen Cang was speaking from the heart, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t sound so sincere.


    But¡­


    Am I here to hear you suck up to me?


    Even though flattery is sweet¡­


    I came here for suggestions, considering I¡¯m going to East University First Hospital to demonstrate a surgery today. Tao Zi decided to work on improving himself, especially to identify any shortcomings.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, don¡¯t you have any suggestions for improvement? Any faults? Any areas that could be enhanced?¡± Tao Zi asked with a smile.


    Chen Cang was taken aback and took a deep breath: I¡¯ve praised you twice now¡­


    Director Tao, if you keep this up, I¡¯m leaving. Are you addicted to flattery?!


    Chen Cang: ¡°Are you¡­ serious?¡±


    Tao Zi slapped his thigh!


    ¡°Of course, this is an academic exchange!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Should¡¯ve said that earlier!¡±


    With that thought, Chen Cang coughed lightly and cleared his throat, ¡°Well, Director, I have a few points to make. The first point is about the choice of incision, You could definitely modify it to ¡®Left Anterolateral Thoracotomy + Bilateral Submammary Incisions.¡¯ By doing this, not only would you avoid damaging the lungs, but also¡­¡±


    ¡°The second point, when you¡¯re mobilizing the nerve¡­¡±


    ¡°The third point, the separation and removal of calcified lesions. When you know you can¡¯t see the myocardium with a single cut, you could definitely¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Once Chen Cang started pointing out flaws, there was no stopping him!


    He rattled off several thousand words effortlessly, without stammering, spouting them as soon as he opened his mouth, picking them up with ease!


    What are we cultured people good at?


    Finding faults!


    Chen Cang spoke until his mouth was dry, finally feeling relieved as he picked up his Lapsang Souchong, took a sip, and moistened his throat!


    Comfortable¡­


    Who knew fault-finding could be so enjoyable?


    Chen Cang, seeing Tao Zi¡¯s face turn dark, delightedly savored his tea.


    Tao Zi was utterly dumbfounded. Although Chen Cang¡¯s words were¡­ rather unpleasant and not as comforting as flattery, they were solid and extremely beneficial to him.


    At his level, a little guidance went a long way.


    Years of accumulated knowledge had already provided him with a foundation for breakthroughs, and now with Chen Cang¡¯s pointers, a breakthrough came naturally!


    However¡­


    At first, Tao Zi was excited, as what Chen Cang said made good sense and could indeed help him improve.


    But¡­


    The more Chen Cang talked, the more detailed he got, the more highbrow the content became.


    Tao Zi couldn¡¯t take it anymore!


    He felt his Zen slipping, almost collapsing.


    Tao Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief when Chen Cang took a break.


    Thank goodness¡­ thank goodness¡­


    At least it was over.


    But the advice was really sound; he would definitely ponder over it carefully after going back and see how to improve.


    Tao Zi was about to speak.


    Then he saw Chen Cang, after finishing his water, feeling reinvigorated and immediately said with a smile, ¡°Director Tao, let¡¯s continue. Actually, I think there are many more areas that can be improved and enhanced!¡±


    Tao Zi was momentarily stunned: ???


    Chen Cang nodded excitedly, ¡°During your surgery, especially when separating the pericardium and freeing the coronary vessels, you have a habitual motion that seems useless but can easily damage the interventricular nerve. I was thinking, maybe we could¡­¡±


    Chen Cang got more and more spirited as he talked!


    The more excited he got!


    However, Tao Zi felt increasingly inadequate, like he was suffering from a case of deficiency ¨C kidney-yang deficiency, complete with spontaneous sweating!


    Sitting there motionless, beads of sweat continued to drip down.


    Tao Zi gritted his teeth, ¡°No, I can¡¯t listen anymore!


    If I listen any further, my Zen will truly collapse!¡±


    But Chen Cang kept talking non-stop.


    Tao Zi pretended to pick up the phone: ¡°Hello, hello, hello? Oh! A patient arrived, right, right, I¡¯ll head out immediately!¡±


    He hung up the phone in feigned urgency. Tao Zi gave an awkward smile, ¡°Ah, Chen, there¡¯s an old patient I need to see¡­ How about we continue this another day?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, saying with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve enjoyed our chat so much!¡±


    Tao Zi felt awkward: I did not enjoy it!


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°I hope we¡¯ll have the chance to do this again.¡±


    Tao Zi hurriedly shook his head, praying not until his Zen was firmly in place. ¡®Before that, kid, you¡¯re not welcome.¡¯


    Watching Chen Cang walk away, Tao Zi finally let out a breath of relief.


    So exhausting!

 Chapter 374 - Chapter 374: Chapter 374: System, How Have You Become So Benevolent?

    Chapter 374: Chapter 374: System, How Have You Become So Benevolent?


    As Chen Cang got back to his department, it was already around twelve o¡¯clock, a two-hour surgery was quite normal.


    He found that the department was empty, but having completed the surgery, Chen Cang lacked the motivation to go back. He simply ordered some takeout to eat in the on-call room and got ready to sleep afterwards.


    The emergency room on-call quarters were quite humane, including bunk beds that could sleep four people, and there were two such rooms.


    Eight beds, fulfilling the fantasy of residency for every resident doctor!


    After eating, Chen Cang immediately felt sleepy and lay down to sleep.


    It had to be mentioned that the beds in the emergency room seemed to have a magical power that made you want to sleep as soon as you lay down.


    Indeed, that must be what they call a natural BUFF!


    There were quite a few such items with special innate properties in life, such as the corners of internet cafes, Pinru¡¯s clothes, Uniqlo dressing rooms, and so on¡­


    Just as Chen Cang was falling into a deep sleep, he suddenly heard someone standing by his side calling out.


    ¡°Doctor Xiao Chen, Doctor Xiao Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang opened his eyes and saw it was the nurse Lele. He immediately got up, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Lele?¡±


    Lele said, ¡°A patient who ate fish and got a fish bone stuck in their throat has come. Doctor Shi is currently dressing the wound, could you take a look?¡±


    Chen Cang looked at his half-eaten meal box that he hadn¡¯t had the chance to throw away yet and sighed.


    The rich choke on fish bones,


    I¡¯m left with cold leftovers.


    Seeing patients with fish bones stuck was quite common in the emergency room; Chen Cang got up and stretched.


    Then he asked, ¡°What kind of fish was it?¡±


    Lele rolled her eyes, ¡°How would I know?¡±


    Chen Cang put on his white coat and walked outside.


    After all, different fish meant different fish bones, which called for different considerations and treatment plans.


    If it were just tiny bones, no big deal, but some fish bones were thin and long, which easily could damage critical areas.


    Lele turned back to glance at the half-eaten meal on the table, ¡°Doctor Xiao Chen, should I throw your food away? It¡¯ll start to stink in the summer heat!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Eat it!¡±


    Lele gave him another eye roll and followed Chen Cang out, ¡°Doctor Chen, you earn so much every month, how come you can¡¯t change your thrifty habits!¡±


    Chen Cang snorted, ¡°That¡¯s being economical. By the way, where¡¯s the patient?¡±


    Lele took a few quick steps forward, ¡°I¡¯ll show you.¡±


    While talking, she led Chen Cang forward.


    After arriving in the emergency hall, they saw a man wearing a white short-sleeve shirt, a black tie, dress pants, and leather shoes sitting there, touching his chest, repeatedly drinking water from a cup!


    His anxious wife suggested, ¡°Drink some vinegar!¡±


    While speaking, she handed over a bottle of vinegar.


    The man rolled his eyes, ¡°I¡¯ve already had a bottle! My stomach¡¯s so sour, if I drink any more it¡¯ll cause problems!¡±


    His wife was worried as well.


    Neither of them were old, both in their thirties. The man looked like he was in sales.


    Seeing Chen Cang approaching, they hurriedly stood up, ¡°Doctor.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, please sit!¡±


    After they sat down, Chen Cang asked, ¡°How long has the fish bone been stuck?¡±


    The man hesitated, ¡°Two days, it happened at lunch the day before yesterday.¡±


    His wife criticized, ¡°It was my husband¡¯s birthday the day before yesterday, and I thought he¡¯s been working so hard, so I made him a scallion oil fish.¡±


    ¡°He sells houses, is always on the move; he never has a moment to rest. While he was eating, suddenly a call from a client came, wanting to see a property. He was already eating fast, and then, during the meal, he choked on the bone as he answered.¡±


    The man coughed and smiled, ¡°Occupational habit, I eat too fast, plus¡­ when the client called, I thought I should eat a few more bites quickly, never expected to get the fish bone stuck.¡±


    After speaking, he touched his chest, feeling some pain.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been choked on them before¡­ but it was never a big deal, seemed like it would just get better on its own.¡±


    ¡°But this time, it¡¯s been two days and it feels increasingly painful. I felt really uncomfortable eating lunch today, so we rushed over here immediately.¡±


    [Ding! Special emergency task triggered, help remove the fish bone from the patient¡¯s esophagus and save the patient. Task reward: Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair Surgery (Master level). Do you accept?]


    Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback.


    What¡¯s with the system today, is there some kind of celebration?


    Such a generous reward for a simple fish bone removal!


    Isn¡¯t this too honest?


    Thinking about it, Chen still felt a bit uncomfortable.


    Chen Cang casually chose to accept the task; it would be foolish not to accept such a small task.


    However, after hearing the man¡¯s words, Chen Cang¡¯s heart momentarily stalled, two days already¡­


    Chen Cang saw the man touching his chest; could the fish bone be lodged deep in the esophagus?


    Still, for safety¡¯s sake, Chen Cang decided to stick to standard procedure and take things step by step.


    ¡°Open your mouth, let me take a look!¡± Chen Cang took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight.


    As expected, nothing was found.


    It must have reached the esophagus, right?


    Given the current situation, it¡¯s time to contact the endoscopy room and prepare for endoscopic removal.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang said to the patient, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the endoscopy room to see what the situation is and where the fish bone is stuck. If it can be removed, we¡¯ll take it out right away.¡±


    The man nodded, ¡°Ah¡­ what bad luck, a fish is going to cost me hundreds or even over a thousand yuan. What a loss.¡±


    His wife scolded him with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re still joking at a time like this!¡±


    The man chuckled and comforted his wife, ¡°Wait for me here, I¡¯ll just go with the doctor.¡±


    The man was just trying not to make his wife worry.


    And after all, a stuck fish bone isn¡¯t a big deal.


    Nobody was worried about it!


    Including Chen Cang, who didn¡¯t pay it much mind.


    It would be fine once it was removed.


    The emergency room had seen plenty of cases with stuck fish bones.


    Together, they entered the endoscopy room.


    Since it was lunchtime, the endoscopy room staff were off duty.


    Frankly, the endoscopy, comprehensive examination department, ultrasound department, radiology department, and other such departments clock in and out on time; they leave work precisely on the dot and generally don¡¯t work overtime under normal circumstances.


    Of course, this doesn¡¯t apply to the on-call doctors.


    But the on-call doctors in these support departments only accept emergency cases and special urgent consultations, VIPs being an exception. Usually, they don¡¯t take cases from the outpatient or inpatient department.


    It¡¯s different for cases coming from the emergency room; they generally have to be accepted.


    Moreover, Chen Cang now had a good relationship with Director Xiao He and often made appearances in the endoscopy room.


    So, Chen Cang had some connections here.


    The man quickly completed the necessary procedures and entered the endoscopy room.


    Lu Xiaojun was a veteran doctor in the endoscopy room and had been there for quite some time. After greeting Chen Cang, he had the man get seated.


    After all the preparations were done, the endoscope began to probe into the esophagus.


    But¡­


    It found nothing after a long while.


    Lu Xiaojun was also taken aback; he¡¯d seen many cases of stuck fish bones, but¡­ such a situation was rare.


    Holding the gastroendoscope, he probed further down and suddenly saw it!


    But¡­ Lu Xiaojun looked at the location and the size of the fish bone, and he was instantly dumbfounded.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Let¡¯s remove it, shall we?¡±


    Lu Xiaojun immediately shook his head!


    ¡°We can¡¯t remove it!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Why not?¡±


    Lu Xiaojun¡¯s expression suddenly became very serious.


    ¡°Look at this position!¡±


    Curious, Chen Cang took a closer look and his face immediately changed color.


    ¡°Are you saying¡­¡±


    Lu Xiaojun nodded, ¡°This position is very unsafe! Let¡¯s do a CT scan to get a more complete picture!¡±


    Having said this, Lu Xiaojun took a few photos, then withdrew the endoscope probe.


    ¡°Do one as quickly as possible!¡±

 Chapter 375 - Chapter 375: Chapter 375: A Bloodbath Caused by a Fishbone!

    Chapter 375: Chapter 375: A Bloodbath Caused by a Fishbone!


    Lu Xiaojun couldn¡¯t be described as anything but an experienced senior doctor.


    His experience with endoscopies was extensive, and his clinical expertise even more remarkable. Upon seeing the situation, he made a snap decision to stop Chen Cang from attempting to remove the fishbone.


    The patient clearly didn¡¯t understand¡ªwasn¡¯t it just a fishbone? Wouldn¡¯t it be fine just to pull it out?


    So the man directly asked, ¡°Doctor, why can¡¯t you just pull it out?¡±


    Reminded by Lu Xiaojun, Chen Cang also instantly realized what was at stake!


    Quite simply, you don¡¯t know what¡¯s outside the esophagus!


    The intricate network of blood vessels inside the chest cavity, along with various organ tissues, and the position and direction¡­ To put it bluntly, should the fishbone pierce a blood vessel¡­ the consequences would be unthinkable.


    With this in mind, Chen Cang looked at the man and earnestly explained, ¡°This location is very special, and¡­ you haven¡¯t even determined the size or length of the fishbone. It¡¯s very risky to pull it out rashly!¡±


    The man was stunned for a moment, obviously somewhat incredulous.


    ¡°That can¡¯t be right, can it? I¡¯ve been stuck before¡­ and it went down after eating a few bites¡­¡±


    Indeed, that¡¯s the folk remedy¡ªwhen a fishbone gets stuck in the throat, you follow that remedy, swallow down a mouthful of food, and then forcibly press the fishbone down.


    But!


    Hearing this, both Lu Xiaojun and Chen Cang¡¯s faces changed color again.


    Because a fishbone is not like any other thing¡ªif the fishbone is tiny, indeed it could be pressed down with the food, moving with the esophagus¡¯s peristalsis.


    But, have you considered another possibility?


    What if the fishbone had already penetrated the esophageal wall, and as you press down with the food, the fishbone, like a nail, is driven deeper into the esophageal wall by the food!


    Even worse, what if this ¡°nail¡± might penetrate into a neighboring ¡°neighbor,¡± such as the trachea or a major blood vessel!


    All these are problems.


    With these issues in mind, Lu Xiaojun quickly pulled the patient aside, pointing to the X-ray and said, ¡°Look, this is your fishbone X-ray. The part of the fishbone visible inside the esophagus is less than 4 millimeters long. Do you understand what this means?¡±


    Lu Xiaojun¡¯s expression was grave as he seriously continued, ¡°This means a long part might have already pierced through the esophageal wall and entered the chest cavity!¡±


    ¡°The reason I don¡¯t want to pull it out is because the part of the fishbone that¡¯s gone deep in is near the thoracic aorta! In other words, if, hypothetically, the fishbone has entered the thoracic aorta, as soon as it¡¯s pulled out, blood will shoot out like a fountain, and there might not even be a chance for emergency treatment!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man¡¯s complexion instantly changed.


    He looked at Chen Cang and Lu Xiaojun¡¯s serious faces, realizing they were clearly not joking.


    ¡°What¡¯s the thoracic aorta?¡± the man asked, still somewhat unwilling to accept the situation.


    He knew what a CT scan was¡ªthat it cost several hundred yuan!


    Lu Xiaojun couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Let me put it this way, the thoracic aorta is the largest and thickest artery in the human body. The pressure there is the highest, like a high-pressure water gun. Once it bursts, the blood will spray out, just like a dam bursting; you wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything about it!¡±


    Although Lu Xiaojun might have exaggerated a bit, what he said was all true.


    Chen Cang also understood that this situation definitely couldn¡¯t be delayed!


    After thanking Lu Xiaojun, he immediately left.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    By this point, the man had also been frightened by Lu Xiaojun¡¯s words.


    Upon arriving at the emergency room, they quickly started preparing to run tests.


    The man¡¯s wife, upon seeing this, hurriedly asked, ¡°Doctor¡­ will this be okay? My husband¡­ he won¡¯t have any problems, right?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°Right now, nobody can guarantee anything, let¡¯s complete the examinations first and then see what the situation is.¡±


    After saying that, he took the man to the Radiology Department, where they immediately prepared to conduct the tests upon learning of the man¡¯s condition.


    Chen Cang, to be honest, was also unsure, because as a doctor, he wasn¡¯t a god, he didn¡¯t have X-ray vision!


    He had no idea what the outcome might be!


    They could only wait for the results of the tests.


    Indeed, just a few minutes later, the radiologist called Chen Cang in.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, the situation¡­ does not look good!¡±


    With a single sentence, Chen Cang was taken aback.


    ¡°What exactly is going on?¡±


    At this time, the film had not yet come out!


    The radiologist, pointing at the screen of the computer and with a grave, even stern expression, said, ¡°Do you see that? This is the fishbone. It has already pierced through the esophageal wall and one end has penetrated the thoracic aorta!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s skill in interpreting chest imaging was perfect!


    He could clearly see and understand it completely!


    ¡°Next level, I¡¯ll take a look!¡±


    After looking through several layers of images one after another, Chen Cang was suddenly dumbfounded.


    The situation was more dangerous than he had anticipated!


    One could even call it greatly perilous.


    Chen Cang¡¯s perfect-level image reading ability instantly conjured up a mental image of the fishbone piercing the patient¡¯s chest cavity.


    At this moment, the fishbone was no longer simply an innocuous, harmless fishbone as seen on the imaging results.


    Chen Cang felt it was more like a deadly weapon!


    Just like a crescent blade, it was inserted horizontally near the esophagus and thoracic aorta!


    If removed blindly!


    It would inevitably create an aortic rupture and absolutely result in massive hemorrhage.


    By then, even rushing to save the patient might not be timely enough!


    Chen Cang suddenly found himself breathing rapidly.


    Rush to get a hospital admission, and not just any room but to the ICU for intensive care, closely monitor the vital signs, urgently organize a panel of experts, prepare for surgery!


    The current situation was no longer as simple as Chen Cang had imagined.


    Because the condition could still escalate, with the fishbone already piercing the thoracic aorta, who knew if it would shift due to the strong arterial blood pressure?


    Who knew if it would move together with the internal peristalsis of the esophagus!


    Should it shift.


    The consequences¡­


    Need not even be considered.


    They were absolutely very dangerous.


    At this time, the man had already emerged from the CT room.


    Chen Cang approached him, explained the situation, and then said, ¡°Have your wife handle the hospital admission; you go rest in the observation room!¡±


    The man¡¯s face instantly turned the color of ash.


    Honestly, he was already scared stiff at this point.


    He could not have imagined that a simple fishbone could be so dangerous!


    Even life-threatening?


    This seemed improbable even in novels, yet it was happening in real life!


    He really wanted to ask Chen Cang if this was a joke.


    But, looking at Chen Cang¡¯s serious face, how could he not understand what had happened!


    After arriving at the emergency room, Chen Cang instructed the man¡¯s wife to go through the procedures, and then he hurried off to prepare medical orders.


    After a flurry of activity, it was already past three o¡¯clock, and the doctors in the office had started arriving one after another.


    It was then that Chen Cang suddenly realized!


    Why would the system give such a large reward for a small fishbone?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help shaking his head!


    He had almost misjudged the situation.


    Emergency room, oh emergency room!


    There really are no small matters.


    Not a bit of carelessness is permitted!


    Who could have thought a small fishbone could be life-threatening?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: For now, three updates. It¡¯s almost winter, and those who eat fish should be mindful: this story is not a joke; it is adapted from a real case. Fishbones can indeed pose a danger to life.


    Remember this saying: Don¡¯t eat fish with bones when you¡¯re hungry!


    Also, although this novel is a work of fiction, more than ninety percent of the cases are real, as is the scientific knowledge, including many life common sense facts like not washing socks and underwear together. This is why the book is taking a while to write; I basically spend a whole day writing just five chapters, unable to do anything else!


    I will also continue to share medical knowledge with everyone in the later stages, hoping that after you finish this book, you¡¯re not just thrilled but also enriched!


    Finally, as usual, I humbly beg for your support.

 Chapter 376 - Chapter 376: Chapter 376: The Fishbone Disappeared?!

    Chapter 376: Chapter 376: The Fishbone Disappeared?!


    The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for close monitoring that very same day, and vital signs had to be carefully watched!


    Upon learning of the danger, the man and his wife became even more anxious and apprehensive!


    For the past two days, they went about their usual activities, eating and drinking as normal, and they hadn¡¯t missed out on their private marital life either.


    But now, with the man sent to the intensive care unit and his wife unable to enter, all she could do was pray and feel a growing sense of regret.


    If only she had brought her husband to seek medical attention earlier, perhaps it wouldn¡¯t have been this dangerous.


    Indeed!


    If they had come earlier, definitely the fish bone wouldn¡¯t have gone as deep, of that there was no doubt.


    Many times, diseases worsen unnoticed!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The man¡¯s condition immediately caught the attention and concern of the hospital authorities.


    The hospital quickly organized emergency consultations involving the emergency department, cardiovascular surgery, general surgery, otolaryngology, endoscopy, interventional medicine, radiology, and anesthesiology based on the patient¡¯s condition!


    And it was Chen Cang¡¯s first time presiding over a consultation!


    Moreover, it was such a large-scale consultation.


    The entire large conference room was extremely quiet, with everyone¡¯s gaze fixed on Chen Cang and the image results on the big screen.


    Seeing the dangerous image, everyone frowned slightly, their expressions grave.


    The whole office was extremely quiet!


    Seriousness and solemnity spread throughout the room.


    This was no time for jokes.


    Because the rescue work involved multidisciplinary cooperation and numerous departments, it was necessary to organize and coordinate the different sectors for the operation.


    Moreover, a consensus had to be reached after discussion by all parties to systematically carry out the rescue work.


    Tao Zi, Li Baoshan, Zhang Youfu, Xiao He, Liu Jian¡­ everyone¡¯s eyes were on Chen Cang!


    Those seated were all influential figures, even the core power of the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Only Chen Cang was the youngest.


    Yet not a single person dared to underestimate or belittle him.


    Because Chen Cang had time and again proven himself with his accomplishments, leaving them no room for criticism.


    Directors and deputy directors from seven or eight departments were all watching Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, saying he wasn¡¯t nervous would be a lie.


    Initially, it was the spirit of Bai Qiuen that had enabled him to boldly organize the rescue operation for the previous rebar through-chest incident; this time, although it was just a fish bone, the damage caused and the potential consequences were no less severe than before!


    So, it was impossible for Chen Cang to say he wasn¡¯t nervous!


    But!


    Nervous as he might be, the work still had to proceed normally.


    The discussion had already been going on for over ten minutes.


    Everyone had voiced their opinions and their proposed surgical plans based on the patient¡¯s condition.


    Chen Cang looked at Tao Zi and directly asked, ¡°Director Tao, under these circumstances, to remove the fish bone, we must ensure the safety of the thoracic aorta. What are your thoughts?¡±


    Tao Zi nodded, speaking earnestly, ¡°Actually, although the current imaging results do not show the condition outside the blood vessels, I¡¯ll say this ¨C based on my experience, since the fish bone has been embedded for two days, this signifies a grave issue, which means there could be infection and erosion at the rupture in the vessel, and by now, the rupture is definitely becoming more and more fragile. Therefore, the most urgent and critical priority is to ensure the safety of the vessel.¡±


    ¡°In this situation, it is necessary to firmly plug the ruptured spot. Using an aortic stent would be quite suitable for this.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xiao He quickly spoke, ¡°If the safety of the thoracic aorta can be ensured, the rest is simple. The bone can be removed via endoscopy.¡±


    The anesthesiologist, Liu Jian, also nodded in agreement¡­


    ¡­


    The consultation had clear outcomes, and everyone quickly reached a unified plan!


    Thus, by five o¡¯clock that afternoon, with everything prepared and under the protection of the anesthesiologist Liu Jian, the preparation for the surgery began!


    As planned, the director of cardiovascular surgery, Tao Zi, took charge first and foremost.


    After all, the core task of this operation was to ensure the safety of the thoracic aorta.


    This time, Tao Zi had to treat the matter with utmost seriousness!


    The surgery began, and if it were simply a matter of implanting an arterial stent, there would be no difficulty; with Tao Zi at the helm and the deputy director¡¯s assistance, they swiftly and successfully implanted the stent!


    This meant that the risk of the surgery had decreased somewhat.


    The plan continued. At this moment, Director Xiao He, the head of the endoscopy room, stepped up to begin manipulating the gastrointestinal endoscope, delving deep into the esophagus to prepare for the removal of the fish bone!


    But then!


    Something that no one had anticipated happened all of a sudden.


    After the endoscope was inserted.


    They suddenly discovered that the fish bone had disappeared!


    Was it some kind of trick?


    Xiao He was instantly dumbfounded.


    He repeatedly used the probe to search and searched several times at the originally targeted location, but in the end, he did not find the fish bone that should have been there!


    Everyone present was flabbergasted.


    Lu Xiaojun, who had personally performed the endoscopy on the patient, was also present and, of course, astounded.


    ¡°It was there just a moment ago. How could it just disappear?¡±


    Xiao He immediately frowned.


    When the fish bone could not be found, the hope of removing it through the endoscope was directly shattered!


    At this time, the patient was still on the operating table!


    And the fish bone had vanished!


    What to do?


    Everyone immediately began discussing!


    ¡°Could it be that the esophageal peristalsis before the surgery caused the fish bone to pierce into the chest cavity?¡± Zhang Youfu speculated thoughtfully.


    And Tao Zi nodded, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s possible. After all, look at this direction!¡±


    During the conversation, Tao Zi pointed to the CT image on the wall and said, ¡°Look, the fish bone entered the chest cavity at this angle, which is the same direction it would have entered the aorta. And the direction of the aortic blood flow is like this, as is the direction of esophageal peristalsis. If so, it explains everything!¡±


    ¡°The fish bone might have been propelled by the strong force of the aortic blood flow, in conjunction with the peristalsis of the esophagus, and already penetrated the esophagus, entered the chest cavity, and possibly even the aorta interior!¡±


    After an exchange, the situation had once again become complicated.


    At this point, there was no possibility of removing the fish bone with an endoscope!


    What had to be done was to proceed with opening the chest for exploration, deciding on a new surgical plan.


    With the assistance of the entire expert team, the surgical plan was immediately adjusted!


    At this moment, Chen Cang became the core of the team!


    Chen Cang was very skilled at open-chest surgeries.


    This was something everyone knew.


    At this moment, everyone¡¯s gaze was fixed on Chen Cang, eyes filled with expectation.


    The operating table was just like that.


    Passing through five levels and slaying six generals, each person had their own responsibilities!


    Just like Director Tao¡¯s immediate implantation of a stent protected the aorta.


    Chen Cang accepted the command in an emergency, unflinching and confidently nodding, he took the scalpel!


    This moment marked the true beginning of the surgery!


    Chen Cang selected the best location to make the incision based on the imaging results, and began the open-chest procedure.


    Proficiently making the incision, Tao Zi helped with the responsibilities, assisting by the side, with the anesthesiologist Liu Jian making all sorts of preparations again, and the radiology department began pinpointing the precise location of the fish bone¡­


    All medical workers were tensely carrying out their duties.


    On the operating table, there are never lone warriors fighting the battles.


    It is always a group of unified, exceptional teams!


    After Chen Cang opened the chest, everyone involuntarily inhaled the uniquely chill air of the operating room.


    Due to infection, the chest cavity was a mess, with significant adhesion already present, and secretions within the chest cavity.


    After seeing this scene, everyone¡¯s brows instantly furrowed.


    It was fortunate that the chest had been opened; otherwise, the treatment and recovery afterwards would have been problematic!


    But everyone knew that the burden had fallen squarely on Chen Cang¡¯s shoulders!


    Chen Cang¡­ could he handle it?

 Chapter 378 - Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Life Cannot Lose That Simple Touch of Emotion

    Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Life Cannot Lose That Simple Touch of Emotion


    The man awoke once again to find himself lying in the observation room bed.


    There was no longer any need for him to spend money in the ICU.


    After all, an expense of several thousand a day was unaffordable for the average family.


    Because of this fishbone, it was estimated that the man would need to spend tens of thousands on medical costs, right?


    Even with medical insurance, it would probably cost several thousand yuan!


    The wife, seeing her husband awake, was overjoyed!


    ¡°Husband, you¡¯re awake!¡±


    The man, groggy, opened his eyes, ¡°Is the surgery over?¡±


    The wife nodded, ¡°Mhm, it¡¯s done, and everything went smoothly. Don¡¯t move around, your wound hasn¡¯t healed yet!¡±


    To be honest, having lain down, fallen asleep, and undergone surgery, the man had no recollection of the process at all.


    But his wife, sitting by the bed, had thought about a lot.


    A fishbone, what kind of impact had it brought to this family!


    For this newly established family, tens of thousands of yuan was a rather heavy blow.


    The observation room was quite large, but each bed could be curtained off.


    This gave emergency patients a bit of security amidst their frantic worry.


    The curtain was like a fig leaf, a wall of privacy, behind which people talked about their families¡¯ matters with loved ones.


    ¡°The surgery¡­ must have cost a lot, right?¡±


    ¡°Mhm¡­¡±


    ¡°How much?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it! Just focus on getting better, I¡¯m here!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll have to buy a house later, then,¡± the man sighed. ¡°The seller of the house can¡¯t afford to buy a house¡­¡±


    The wife smiled slightly, ¡°We can rent a house! I think renting is quite good, economical!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you, I study economics. When the house price exceeds 300 times the monthly rent, it might be a bubble! In that case, it¡¯s definitely more appropriate to rent¡­¡±


    ¡°Also, I heard that next year, the housing prices in Anyang city might drop. Maybe we¡¯ll turn a misfortune into a blessing!¡±


    ¡­


    Listening to his wife¡¯s comforting words, the man suddenly felt his nose sting. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?


    Seeing the strength in his wife¡¯s smile, the man couldn¡¯t help but squeeze her hand tightly.


    He made a firm resolution, I won¡¯t let you down in this lifetime, my wife!


    Outside, at the nurse¡¯s station of the observation room, listening to the conversation between the man and his wife, the senior emergency internal medicine doctor, Dr. Hu, suddenly sighed, ¡°House sellers can¡¯t afford to buy houses, we doctors can¡¯t afford to be sick either!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The same scene played out in the cardiac surgery department.


    Wu Yushu¡¯s surgery was very successful, and as he lay in bed, his wife, Cheng Aimei, in her fifties, placed a pot of freshly cooked porridge on the bedside, steaming warm.


    This was Wu Yushu¡¯s favorite longan and lotus seed porridge.


    Usually too reluctant to drink it but always wanting to buy some every now and then to taste, Cheng Aimei was busy, not always cooking it for him every day.


    ¡°Wife, how much did this surgery cost?¡± Wu Yushu was somewhat worried.


    Cheng Aimei smiled and reassured, ¡°We¡¯ll worry about money later, you just focus on recovering!¡±


    Wu Yushu lay in bed and couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh of relief, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s been so long since I¡¯ve had a good sleep like this! Really comfortable!¡±


    Cheng Aimei looked at her husband, the man who had once been full of vigor, now with a ¡°chuan¡± character wrinkle formed between his brows, and felt a pang of heartache, ¡°Another day I¡¯ll ask the anesthetist to give you another shot, and then you can have another good sleep.¡±


    Wu Yushu burst into laughter as soon as he heard her, ¡°Let¡¯s forget it, that one injection costs so much money, I¡¯m so distressed I can¡¯t even sleep.¡±


    Cheng Aimei looked at Old Wu, her heart aching. This surgery had truly terrified her.


    It wasn¡¯t just because Old Wu was the breadwinner, but because he was the pillar of the family, the backbone of her existence, the father of their children¡ªwithout him, there would be no home!


    This was something money couldn¡¯t measure.


    The fragility of life really couldn¡¯t withstand too much turmoil.


    This incident gave Cheng Aimei a lot to think about.


    She was still a teacher!


    She had taught so many life lessons to others, but when it came to herself, they all didn¡¯t seem to matter.


    Thinking of this, Cheng Aimei couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Husband, don¡¯t work too hard! Really, if you get sick, this whole house will collapse. As for the house money, the children and grandchildren will have their own blessings¡­ What capabilities do we have, after all!¡±


    Wu Yushu sighed, ¡°Isn¡¯t this because I don¡¯t want the kids to work so hard! Such a huge pressure, he just started working and he¡¯s already saddled with millions in mortgage loans, it¡¯s not good for his development.¡±


    Wu Yushu was an educated man, a section chief in a state-owned enterprise; he had some power, some insight.


    ¡°The child is just getting started. If the pressure is too great, it¡¯s easy for their personality and temperament to become irritable¡­ That¡¯s not good!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m thinking, I¡¯m of such an old age now; I don¡¯t care about these things. If I can earn a bit more, then earn a bit more, so that the kids can have a little less pressure.¡±


    ¡°The wedding is coming up soon, the bride price, decoration, house¡ª all of these need money.¡±


    Having said this, Wu Yushu couldn¡¯t help but sigh again.


    On seeing this, Cheng Aimei hurriedly said, ¡°If we can¡¯t afford a car, we¡¯ll buy it later. For the renovation costs, we¡¯ll take it step by step, what¡¯s the use of worrying!¡±


    Wu Yushu looked at his wife and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Wife, I¡¯ve thought a lot after this surgery, and I feel that I¡¯ve let you down. You haven¡¯t enjoyed much happiness since marrying me. I haven¡¯t taken good care of you¡­ Sigh, once I retire, I¡¯ll cook for you every day; you go dance in the square, and I¡¯ll be the househusband.¡±


    Cheng Aimei smiled as she looked at Old Wu, feeling warm inside.


    Meanwhile, outside the door, Wu Qiong had long since been in tears.


    Hearing her father¡¯s words, Wu Qiong felt as uncomfortable as if she were pricked by needles.


    Thinking about how her father usually kept a stern face and didn¡¯t like to talk, even with a bad temper, Wu Qiong wasn¡¯t usually happy either.


    Wu Yushu didn¡¯t like to express his emotions; he held things in his heart, and shouldered responsibilities on his back.


    He bore the heavy burdens of a family alone. How could he not be tired?


    At this thought, Wu Qiong felt extremely distressed!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Every family has its own hard-to-recite scripture.


    Having seen many such situations, I originally thought I would become heart-hardened, impervious, but in the end, I discovered that one can¡¯t lose this touch of emotion in life.


    It was Meng Xi¡¯s night off, so she let Chen Cang off from going to Dongda First Hospital.


    Chen Cang was also happy to have a break, and he walked over to Qin Yue with a chuckle, ¡°What do you want to eat tonight? It¡¯s my treat!¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s eyes darted around, ¡°A fish hotpot restaurant opened nearby, maybe¡­ we could check it out?¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Can we not eat fish?¡±


    Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang curiously, ¡°Why? The fish is really tasty!¡±


    Chen Cang thought for a long time, remembering the surgery he did today, and what if he choked on it¡­


    Finally, Chen Cang said, ¡°Can¡¯t afford it!¡±


    Qin Yue rolled her eyes, ¡°Oh please, so stingy! Your sister here is treating, you just need to show up.¡±


    However, Chen Cang asked another question, ¡°Does the fish hotpot have bones?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­

 Chapter 379 - Chapter 379: Chapter 379: The Second Male God of Cardiac Surgery

    Chapter 379: Chapter 379: The Second Male God of Cardiac Surgery


    Eating hotpot in the heat of summer!


    Chen Cang had no idea what kind of obsession Qin Yue had with hotpot!


    Sweating profusely while eating hotpot, there was indeed a special charm to it.


    Chen Cang was suddenly struck by inspiration and felt he should share the day¡¯s medical case.


    So, he detailed the patient¡¯s surgery process from start to finish.


    Qin Yue listened with rapt attention, clearly engrossed and intensely curious.


    She occasionally asked about specific details of the operation.


    As a medical student, life was just that monotonous and dull.


    In the end, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but comment, ¡°Ah, who would have thought that a fish bone could lead to such consequences and even potentially endanger a life!¡±


    Just because Qin Yue was unbothered didn¡¯t mean others were the same!


    The young couple sitting nearby was enjoying their meal with great excitement, the male being a chubby young man.


    But¡­ upon overhearing Chen Cang¡¯s conversation, they couldn¡¯t help but listen in a bit more closely¡­


    After listening, the two suddenly found their meal less appetizing!


    They rushed through their food and swiftly left.


    Qin Yue chuckled, ¡°If you keep talking, I feel like the owner will kick you out!¡±


    Chen Cang laughed heartily. After Qin Yue settled the bill, they finally left the hotpot restaurant.


    The feeling of being treated, it was really quite nice.


    ¡­


    After strolling around the night market with Qin Yue and returning to the building, they lingered for a while.


    Upstairs in the apartment complex, Ji Ruyun sat on the sofa, fanning herself and checking the time, 9:55 PM. She looked over at Old Qin watching TV on another sofa and couldn¡¯t help but ask:


    ¡°Eh? Old Qin, why aren¡¯t you keeping watch at the windowsill today? Your precious girl is coming back!¡±


    Ji Ruyun was curious as she looked at Qin Xiaoyuan.


    Normally, by this time, Qin Xiaoyuan would have been perched at the windowsill waiting, but today he was surprisingly not peeking from the balcony. Instead, he watched TV with a calm disposition.


    This puzzled Ji Ruyun!


    Had Old Qin changed his ways?


    Qin Xiaoyuan waved his hand dismissively and said lazily, ¡°I¡¯m taking a break today.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan thought about Chen Cang¡¯s surgery today and couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue in appreciation. The kid was quite capable!


    It was both a good deed in terms of treating and saving people and a major event for the hospital. Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt Chen Cang deserved a bonus.


    But¡­


    At that thought, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly felt a bit strange.


    A feeling of trading his daughter for glory?


    Shaking his head hurriedly, he tried to discard this terrible notion.


    However, remembering what Li Baoshan and the others said about Chen Cang, he couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit emotional. Maybe Yueyue wouldn¡¯t suffer following Chen Cang!


    It was just that the kid from the village had too thin a foundation. Buying a house might be a bit troublesome, probably tough in one or two years.


    Maybe¡­ he should buy a set and rent it to them?


    ¡­


    Chen Cang returned home and heard the system¡¯s notification sound.


    [Ding! Fish bone removal complete, rescue mission accomplished, rewarded with: Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair Surgery! Master level!]


    Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair Surgery?


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyelids twitched; it was quite a nice skill indeed.


    This was an emergency surgery skill for thoracic surgery.


    Good, it seemed his professional rating was rising quickly. It wouldn¡¯t be long before he could ¡°advance to the third rank¡±. What kind of profession should he choose then?


    He shouldn¡¯t waste skill points!


    Working in the emergency department, one had to be ready to face all sorts of unexpected events at any given moment.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    By Thursday afternoon, around four o¡¯clock, during a quiet time at the Second Provincial Hospital, Chen Cang arrived early at Dongda First Hospital.


    Chen Cang, now increasingly familiar with the layout here, was gladly accepted by the small nurses of Dongda First Hospital¡¯s cardiac surgery department. After all, a handsome guy, with a good personality, sweet-talking, hard-working¡­ and with a full head of hair¡­ tall and handsome¡­ Well, basically he was great in every way!


    Such a person was pleasing to the nurses¡¯ eyes!


    After all¡­ Dongda First Hospital was brimming with talent, and the cardiac surgery department was filled with PhDs.


    Against such a backdrop, it wasn¡¯t just about finding someone handsome, even finding someone with thick hair was tough!


    Anyone remotely decent was hailed as the department¡¯s heartthrob!


    This inevitably led to some sighs from the nurses.


    And Ge Huai, who had been the prospective heartthrob, could only fall back to second place.


    The afternoon was surprisingly not too busy, so everyone in the office took this rare opportunity to hurry and sort through patient records. Mid-month was almost over, yet last month¡¯s files still hadn¡¯t been submitted.


    The medical records office had called countless times.


    Doctors reviewed orders, cross-checked medications, and searched for various lab reports, while nurses rushed to prepare all sorts of nursing records, signing and recording data.


    Wang Yan was about to head back to the nurses¡¯ station when Ge Huai hurriedly called out to her.


    With what he thought was a charming smile, he said, ¡°Yanzi, could you print out a copy of Mr. Jia¡¯s lab report from bed 51 for me?¡±


    Wang Yan scoffed, ¡°Sister has a ton of stuff to do! Do it yourself!¡±


    With no other choice, Ge Huai turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Little Chen, could you help me print out Mr. Jia¡¯s lab report?¡±


    Chen Cang was engrossed in the latest guide on cardiac surgery and, hearing Ge Huai¡¯s request, uttered an ¡°Oh.¡±


    Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately chimed in, ¡°Doctor Chen, you keep reading!¡±


    After speaking, she glared at Ge Huai, ¡°How can you be so lazy! You¡¯re even disturbing Doctor Chen when he¡¯s studying.¡±


    ¡°Give me the patient¡¯s admission number! I¡¯ll go print it for you!¡±


    Wang Yan¡¯s comment left everyone in the office in stitches.


    Ge Huai sighed, ¡°Ah¡­ ever since Little Chen joined the department, my status as the department¡¯s heartthrob has been increasingly shaky!¡±


    Wang Yan, happening to overhear, couldn¡¯t help but laugh and tease, ¡°Doctor Ge, how can you even compare with Little Chen!¡±


    ¡°Your stitching isn¡¯t nearly as fast as Doctor Chen, and you¡¯re certainly not as handsome!¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have as much lush hair as Doctor Chen, nor do you have his tall figure.¡±


    Her words instantly livened up the office.


    Ge Huai didn¡¯t mind; after all, it was routine for him to joke around with the group of nurses.


    As for Chen Cang, he was completely baffled!


    I¡¯ve been keeping a low profile!


    How was I still discovered?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, his look of sympathy towards Ge Huai saying: Doctor Ge, it¡¯s my fault for being too obviously excellent.


    Meng Xi watched the scene, unable to help but glance over with a smile in his eyes.


    At that moment, another nurse came in and, hearing Wang Yan speaking about this, laughed too.


    ¡°Doctor Ge, give it a rest. You comparing yourself to Little Chen is just the wrong choice! Little Chen is now our cardiac surgery¡¯s second heartthrob!¡±


    The other doctors started laughing, ¡°Who¡¯s the first heartthrob then?¡±


    Nurse: ¡°Who else but the chief! Our Chief Xia is the heartthrob of our department, but¡­ the main reason is Little Chen is still a student!¡±


    That got even Meng Xi laughing.


    Chen Cang, feeling awkward, quickly got up with a smile and hurried off to the nurses¡¯ station to print the lab report.


    This office was too dangerous.


    However, hardly reaching the nurses¡¯ station, a group of nurses seeing Chen Cang come over quickly asked.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, what are you busy with?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Printing a lab report!¡±


    ¡°Oh, we can take care of that kind of work for you, you take a break!¡±


    ¡°Whose lab report is it?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Patient number 10192811, Doctor Ge¡¯s patient.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the nurses muttered, ¡°That Doctor Ge, he must be envious and jealous that you¡¯re more handsome than him, making you do all the grunt work!¡±


    Another nurse nodded in agreement, ¡°Exactly, alright, Doctor Chen, you go read, we¡¯ll do the printing!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­

 Chapter 380 - Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Honey, I Dont Want to Struggle Anymore!

    Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Honey, I Don¡¯t Want to Struggle Anymore!


    ¡°`


    Tao Zi was invited to participate in this surgery, which was also an exchange event organized by Dongda First Hospital, aimed at promoting mutual exchange and fulfilling a role of joint advancement.


    For this surgery, both the director and deputy director of the cardiovascular surgery department of Dongda First Hospital attended, and more than a dozen people gathered in the operating room for this surgical exchange.


    Of course, such a scene was one Chen Cang would not have the chance to see.


    Chen Cang naturally did not qualify to observe the procedure on site. It wasn¡¯t just him, even Ge Huai didn¡¯t qualify, along with three other junior doctors¡ªthey all honestly sat in the department, watching the live video feed. While it was quite clear, it lacked the atmosphere of being there in person.


    Ge Huai sighed, ¡°Alas, Director Tao Zi is also a big shot in the cardiovascular surgery field in Dongyang Province! It¡¯s a pity we can¡¯t watch his surgery up close.¡±


    A colleague nearby nodded, ¡°That¡¯s true. When I¡¯d just started working, I participated in a surgery with Director Tao, and it was very enlightening for me at the time!¡±


    Another colleague sighed, ¡°Ah! If only I were a vice-senior, in our hospital, it¡¯s somewhat embarrassing to not have that title.¡±


    This statement made all three sigh in unison!


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes in frustration.


    ¡®I¡¯m just a resident doctor, okay? Can¡¯t you be a little sympathetic to the feelings of a humble resident doctor?¡¯


    The cardiovascular surgery department at Dongda First Hospital is a national key department. It¡¯s very difficult to get in!


    Now they¡¯re only hiring people with a PhD!


    As for the national medical system¡¯s regulations, to become a vice-senior, which is a deputy director level, you only need two years with a PhD to be eligible for the deputy director physician exam. However, all three sitting here have passed the vice-senior exam but the hospital has not employed them at that level!


    What does that mean?


    It means you¡¯ve already passed the national exam for the vice-senior title, but the hospital doesn¡¯t have enough positions internally, so they won¡¯t hire you as a senior attending physician; you¡¯re still just an attending physician.


    That¡¯s what a professional title is.


    Beyond that, a hospital has not only professional titles but also administrative positions, like Shi Qi.


    When Shi Qi was setting up the thoracic surgery department, he was the chief of thoracic surgery, but he wasn¡¯t a chief physician.


    The head of a department and a chief physician are two entirely different concepts.


    Compared with them, Jing Ran is the real winner in life¡ªjust over thirty, a deputy director physician, and deputy chief of thoracic surgery, he has both an administrative position and a professional title.


    Chen Cang¡­


    Let¡¯s not talk about it, it¡¯s better left unsaid!


    After all, I survive on my good looks; professional titles are useless to me.


    Besides, my father-in-law is the Dean. Doesn¡¯t that obviously mean I¡¯m destined to be the future head of the department?


    Maybe¡­ even the Dean himself!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang could not help but feel a little smug.


    He longed to post on social media, ¡®What¡¯s it like having a powerful father-in-law?¡¯


    With the thought, Chen Cang picked up his phone and couldn¡¯t resist sending a message to his girlfriend, noted as ¡°Rich Lady Qin¡± in his contacts:


    ¡°Wifey, I don¡¯t want to struggle anymore!¡±


    Soon, the response came back: ¡°Clean yourself up and wait for me in Kempinski 802 tonight.¡±


    Chen Cang was amused by Qin Yue¡¯s reply; this girl was too cheeky!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The truth was, it wasn¡¯t that Li Baoshan and the others didn¡¯t promote Chen Cang, but professional titles are something that just can¡¯t be promoted at will. There are hard national standards. If you haven¡¯t reached the required years, the state won¡¯t allow you to take the exam, and without the exam, you can¡¯t obtain a professional title.


    Perhaps some might ask if there are any exceptions?


    Let¡¯s put it this way, since the 1990s, not a single person in the whole country has been given an accelerated promotion of their professional title!


    Because there¡¯s no such regulation in the healthcare system.


    Of course, while you can¡¯t be promoted in title, you can be promoted in position!


    Thinking about when he became the deputy head of the emergency department as a resident doctor, about when Chen Bingsheng, the boss, called him ¡°Director Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang felt elated¡­


    This feeling was something to be greatly anticipated.


    Looks like I need to speed up the charm offensive on my father-in-law.


    ¡­


    Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but glance at Chen Cang curiously and asked, ¡°Xiao Chen, why didn¡¯t you go apply under Director Tao initially? Director Tao is from your hospital after all. How convenient that would have been!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed. Could he say that Teacher Meng was a hidden profession?


    ¡°`


    Ge Huai saw Chen Cang sighing and immediately understood what was going on, it must have been that Director Tao didn¡¯t think much of little Chen!


    With that thought, Ge Huai hurriedly consoled, ¡°Hey, little Chen, don¡¯t be upset. After all, it¡¯s normal for Director Tao to be discerning, what with the stature of the man¡ªon the same level as our Director Xia, of course the selection would be more challenging!¡±


    A colleague next to them nodded as well, ¡°That¡¯s right, little Chen, don¡¯t be discouraged. Besides, Director Meng is pretty good too, following Director Meng you could learn a lot.¡±


    All three of them were busy comforting Chen Cang.


    Actually, everyone thought that Chen Cang was quite good¡ªdiligent, ambitious, and also talented.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang could only silently sigh.


    Could he say that Tao Zi actually couldn¡¯t wait to snatch him away from Teacher Meng?


    And dare he claim that Director Tao would also need to accept his education and nurturing?


    Forget it, forget it!


    Chen Cang guessed that if he spoke out, they would surely hit him.


    Being too outstanding always made it easy to stir up envy!


    It¡¯s better to keep a low profile!


    What¡¯s that idiom again?


    Hide your light and bide your time!


    Right! One must hide their light and bide their time.


    At that moment, Ge Huai pointed to the screen and said, ¡°Alright, alright, the surgery is about to start!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Tao Zi stood in the operating room, looking around at the many chiefs and deputy chiefs of cardiac surgery, and couldn¡¯t help but smile. Today was the day to broaden your horizons!


    In the past few days, Tao Zi could be described to have undergone rigorous preparation for today¡¯s surgery.


    Chen Cang¡¯s advice at the time was neatly written down in his notebook.


    He mulled over and reflected continuously, thereby constantly improving his own skills.


    He was just waiting for today!


    Xia Gaofeng looked at Tao Zi, smiling slightly, ¡°Director Tao, you¡¯ve worked hard today!¡±


    Tao Zi smiled back and waved his hand, ¡°Let¡¯s dispense with the formalities and get ready for the surgery. Show me the imaging results.¡±


    At that moment, the medical record was handed over.


    After opening it, Tao Zi examined the imaging results, then took out the X-rays and CT scans, looking over the images while pondering the question of how to make the surgical incision.


    Tao Zi was a seasoned director with rich experience. After all, with experience, a single insight from Chen Cang was enough for him to deduce others. Naturally, at this moment, he thought of a lot.


    A few minutes later, full of confidence, Tao Zi turned around to scrub in for the surgery!


    Meanwhile, the patient was wheeled in, visibly frightened by the presence of so many esteemed doctors.


    What¡¯s going on?


    All these doctors¡­


    He had never seen such a spectacle!


    According to the patient¡¯s thinking, minor surgeries should be simple to deal with, but¡­seeing more than a dozen doctors in green surgical gowns standing there was rather terrifying.


    ¡°Director Xia¡­what is this¡­what¡¯s going on with all these doctors?¡± the patient asked, clearly anxious.


    Smiling, Xia Gaofeng said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you yesterday? We invited Director Tao from the Second Provincial Hospital to perform your surgery. All these are here to learn!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the patient finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more assured.


    After the preparations, the anesthesia was successful, and the surgery began!


    Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but remind, ¡°Director Tao, the patient now has a fairly extensive area of adhesion, so probably a better surgical field is needed! So¡­about the incision¡­¡±


    Tao Zi smiled faintly!


    Last time Chen Cang had taught him how to modify the bilateral sub-mammary incision, and he didn¡¯t expect to use it so soon!


    With that in mind, Tao Zi picked up the scalpel and began to make his move!


    This incision immediately made the surrounding people frown slightly.


    What kind of incision is this?


    ps: Hehe, everyone should rest early, see you tomorrow at noon!

 Chapter 381 - Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Tao Zi, Dont Push People Too Far!

    Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Tao Zi, Don¡¯t Push People Too Far!


    Watching Tao Zi¡¯s incision method, everyone was stunned!


    Even Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but move closer to take a look.


    What kind of incision technique is this?


    How come I¡¯ve never heard of it before?


    At this thought, Xia Gaofeng¡¯s eyebrows immediately furrowed.


    But as soon as the incision was made and the pericardium was exposed, Xia Gaofeng was stunned!


    Holy crap!


    It can be done this way!


    What kind of maneuver is this?


    Because Xia Gaofeng was amazed to find that standing in an assisting position, he now had an even better view of the pericardium.


    Generally speaking, the effective field of view in surgery is limited, especially in cardiac surgery; due to the special location of the heart, the visual field can only satisfy the chief surgeon as much as possible. For the first and second assistants, having a decent view is already pretty good!


    However, Xia Gaofeng was surprised to find that with this kind of opening, not only was it a perfect position for the chief surgeon, Tao Zi, but also for him!


    Just as he was about to praise it, he suddenly turned his head for a side glance and was shocked!


    Because he realized that the field of view was not the biggest advantage after all!


    That wasn¡¯t the most crucial part.


    The most, most crucial thing was!


    This type of incision seemed to be much more sophisticated than the ¡°bilateral anterior thoracic incision,¡± avoiding unnecessary damage to the lung tissue, which was awesome!


    The more Xia Gaofeng thought about it, the more he found the incision incredibly ingenious.


    Thinking about this, Xia Gaofeng carefully pondered yet still couldn¡¯t recall any guidelines detailing such a technique.


    So, Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director Tao, this incision is¡­¡±


    Tao Zi casually replied with a light tone, ¡°Oh! It¡¯s modified.¡±


    One sentence left Xia Gaofeng dumbfounded.


    Even the people around him were all stunned.


    Director Tao had actually modified the surgical incision, and this kind of incision¡­ indeed seemed quite sophisticated.


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help feeling a surge of excitement, and even Meng Xi nearby couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit moved.


    What an impressive Director Tao!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, in the office, which was busier than the serene operating room:


    Ge Huai stood up abruptly and exclaimed, ¡°Damn! What an awesome incision, how did Director Tao come up with this! This incision is magical, it invisibly expanded the surgical field of view, and the view is even better than with dual incisions, while the damage is actually reduced, so impressive¡­¡±


    A colleague at the side was also excited, slapping his thigh, ¡°Exactly, you see, making a cut like this doesn¡¯t damage the lungs at all, directly reducing the chance of lung damage and adverse reactions!¡±


    ¡°Director Tao is so impressive! Why do I feel like it¡¯s better than¡­¡±


    Another colleague hastened to cough softly, ¡°Lower your voice, keep it down!¡±


    Chen Cang was stroking his chin, glanced casually, and muttered, ¡°Director Tao learns pretty fast!¡±


    But¡­ there were still some flaws, something that could still be improved and enhanced!


    After a glance, Chen Cang had already made a judgment about the entire surgery!


    Such a constrictive pericarditis surgery, at best, was just an elite monster, no, maybe not even elite, just an ordinary mob, it¡¯s simply that the adhesions were a bit more numerous, the constriction a bit more severe, not really a big deal.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang¡¯s interest in continuing to watch waned, and he picked up his phone to continue teasing Qin Tian Tian.


    However, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t completely disinterested, occasionally glancing over, mainly because he couldn¡¯t focus.


    After all, Ge Huai kept exclaiming ¡°Holy crap!¡± from time to time, making Chen Cang inwardly scoff non-stop; you¡¯re not surnamed Cao, going on about holy crap¡­ Would your old man not smack you if he knew?


    But when watching Tao Zi¡¯s surgery, Chen Cang had to admit.


    Director Tao was Director Tao!


    There has been a lot of progress since last time.


    It seems that my last lecture wasn¡¯t wasted.


    Hmm!


    Is he teachable?


    Doesn¡¯t seem quite right.


    But it¡¯s roughly the same idea.


    It looks like I can communicate and exchange ideas with Director Tao more in the future, which can promote growth for both of us, of course¡­ mainly because Chen Cang felt a bit guilty after learning surreptitiously.


    Watching Chen Cang playing distractedly with his phone, Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but earnestly persuade, ¡°Xiao Chen, stop playing with your phone, phones are not as interesting as surgeries!¡±


    A doctor at the side nodded in agreement, ¡°Right, phones are not as fun as surgeries!¡±


    Chen Cang was caught off guard, not knowing how to respond.


    Another doctor agreed fervently, ¡°Exactly, the purpose of a phone is to help me find better surgeries to watch!¡±


    Chen Cang was dismissive, that¡¯s because you guys don¡¯t have such fun girlfriends!


    Pfft!


    Just then, Qin Tian Tian sent a red packet with a message, ¡°Okay, nice performance, I have to go to surgery now. I¡¯ll cover your food expenses for this month!¡±


    Chen Cang opened the red packet gleefully and received, ¡°0.01 yuan!¡±


    Grinning, he sent back a message, ¡°Thanks boss! Looking forward to your next visit!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°`


    ¡­


    The operating room was silent, but!


    Occasionally, a series of eerie sounds could be heard.


    ¡°Hiss!¡±


    ¡°Hiss¡­¡±


    ¡°Tsk!¡±


    The head nurse in the operating room, seeing everyone in such a state, immediately changed color and hurriedly called for the air conditioning to be lowered from 22 degrees Celsius to 21 degrees Celsius!


    She feared that their collective breaths of cool air would raise the temperature of the operating room!


    Anxiously watching the room temperature¡­


    At this moment, Tao Zi¡¯s surgery had slowly progressed!


    By then, they were increasingly aware of the exquisiteness of Director Tao¡¯s surgical incision.


    This incision exposed the pericardium just right; not only did it display the surgical field but also greatly benefited the operability of the surgery!


    Watching, the crowd was extremely curious about what kind of incision this was!


    Director Tao was truly a talent, to be able to modify the incision method!


    Xia Gaofeng thought this, his old face blushing. When had Tao Zi become so impressive?


    To be able to modify a surgical method!


    This seemed impossible, right?


    Thinking back to their exchange a while ago, Tao Zi hadn¡¯t seemed much better than him, had he?


    But now, upon seeing¡­


    Xia Gaofeng felt somewhat confused. Could it be¡­ that this was actually Director Tao¡¯s true level of skill?


    And normally¡­ had Director Tao been playing dumb to surprise the tiger?


    Or¡­ had Director Tao been holding back to take care of him, not showing off his excellence?


    With this thought, Xia Gaofeng took a deep breath, and a slight crack appeared in his confidence.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    However, the subsequent surgery completely captivated Xia Gaofeng with Tao Zi¡¯s practical actions.


    Tao Zi¡¯s surgery was extremely skillful and precise, every single detail was orderly.


    While separating the phrenic nerve, Tao Zi specifically followed Chen Cang¡¯s suggestion, dissecting a bit more of the surrounding fat tissue to protect the nerve!


    The surgery could actually be quite simple!


    But grasping every detail that ordinary people overlook is difficult!


    The difference between a master and an ordinary person lies in the details, in control and mastery.


    Tao Zi, however, had a firm grasp on these details.


    Xia Gaofeng watched in utmost shock.


    He couldn¡¯t help but admire Tao Zi¡¯s skill level.


    Xia Gaofeng was not someone who was self-conceited; he was very good at learning from others¡¯ strengths.


    Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have invited Tao Zi for a surgical demonstration; what he wanted was mutual exchange and learning!


    The more Xia Gaofeng watched, the more satisfied he became!


    The more he watched, the happier he felt!


    Because he was able to learn a lot.


    But¡­


    Seeing Xia Gaofeng, Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit of a sigh!


    Alas¡­


    Ever since Chen Cang assisted him once, Tao Zi felt something was missing when Xia Gaofeng assisted him¡­


    With this in mind, Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Assistance from Chen Cang felt truly comfortable!


    Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but shake his head; even Director Xia¡¯s assistance was not as comfortable as Chen Cang¡¯s.


    This won¡¯t do, this won¡¯t do; he couldn¡¯t be so hard to please!


    After all, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t be there to assist him every day, could he?


    With that thought, Tao Zi sighed again, a long sigh.


    Feeling a little disappointed!


    And Xia Gaofeng actually thought he saw disdain from Tao Zi?


    He couldn¡¯t help but feel angry inside!


    This old Tao Zi!


    To disdain his assistance!


    Don¡¯t push things too far!


    He was generous enough to offer his assistance!


    With that thought, Xia Gaofeng made up his mind, deciding to assist meticulously, to show Tao Zi his own capability¡­


    The surgery proceeded slowly.


    The tacit cooperation between the two directors was thrilling for everyone.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 383 - Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Im so strong... How come I didnt know?

    Chapter 383: Chapter 383: I¡¯m so strong¡­ How come I didn¡¯t know?


    Following Tao Zi¡¯s statement, the room fell into a moment of silence!


    ¡°My surgery might¡­ not be as good as that of a younger doctor!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone was at a loss for a moment!


    What did he mean?


    Even Xia Gaofeng looked on with a mix of confusion and curiosity in his eyes.


    Although Tao Zi had never seen Chen Cang perform a constrictive pericarditis surgery, he had a premonition, and he even dared to guarantee that Chen Cang¡¯s procedure would definitely be better than his own!


    There are some things you just can¡¯t reach without a certain level of skill!


    Chen Cang could make such an assessment of himself because he was surer of the surgery than Tao Zi himself was!


    That¡¯s why he could pinpoint the shortcomings!


    Tao Zi continued to explain calmly.


    ¡°Actually, the reason I could make such progress is because I was advised by that young doctor.¡±


    At this point, Tao Zi suddenly realized, huh? Right! This is Dongda First Hospital, and Chen Cang¡¯s teacher is here.


    With that thought, Tao Zi turned around excitedly.


    After all, Chen Cang¡¯s significant progress couldn¡¯t have been without his teacher¡¯s help.


    Originally, Tao Zi was somewhat displeased that Chen Cang hadn¡¯t asked him to be his mentor, feeling that he had a reputation in Dongyang Province too!


    Wasn¡¯t Chen Cang¡¯s refusal to ask for his mentorship a clear sign of disrespect?


    However, after Chen Cang enlightened him, he realized that Chen Cang had truly found a treasure.


    They say a great teacher produces a great student!


    If the teacher isn¡¯t skilled, how high can the student rise?


    So, Chen Cang¡¯s great progress definitely couldn¡¯t have happened without his teacher, Meng Xi.


    If Chen Cang is this impressive, how amazing must his teacher be?


    So, this little Chen¡¯s mentor must also be quite remarkable.


    Although Tao Zi was aware of Meng Xi, he wasn¡¯t very familiar with this younger colleague, and most importantly¡­ as she¡¯s a lady, old Tao was somewhat embarrassed to initiate contact or talk too much¡­


    If people started gossiping, it wouldn¡¯t be good¡­


    With that thought, Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but ask Xia Gaofeng, then mentioned, ¡°By the way, Director Xia, there¡¯s something I¡¯d like to inquire about, maybe even pull some strings!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng and a group of directors were waiting for Tao Zi to reveal who this impressive young doctor was, and they didn¡¯t expect Tao Zi to come up with such a twist!


    They felt somewhat awkward for a moment!


    Anxious, Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°We¡¯re all friends here, just say what you need to say!¡±


    Then Tao Zi spoke up, ¡°There¡¯s a young doctor in our emergency department named Chen Cang. He¡¯s sort of like a nephew to me, and this year he came to your department to study cardiology as a graduate student. I¡¯m hoping you can look after him a bit.¡±


    ¡°The kid is good, very talented. Consider it a favor for old Tao.¡±


    Tao Zi thought people might not be familiar with Chen Cang, but as soon as he spoke, Xia Gaofeng and the others couldn¡¯t help but laugh!


    The deputy directors behind him couldn¡¯t help but join in the laughter as well.


    Tao Zi was puzzled: ¡°What¡¯s so funny?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng hastily replied, ¡°Old Tao, you¡¯re worrying about nothing. Little Chen already holds a prominent place in our department. He¡¯s our department¡¯s favorite young man!¡±


    The directors behind him also chimed in with laughter, ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±


    Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help shaking his head and muttered to himself: Indeed, someone as outstanding as Chen Cang would stand out anywhere!


    Yet, Tao Zi continued to inquire, ¡°This¡­ I wonder which one is Director Meng Xi?¡±


    Standing behind, Meng Xi felt a bit shy, but also pleased to hear Tao Zi ask who she was.


    ¡°Director Tao, hello, I¡¯m Meng Xi!¡±


    Seeing her, Tao Zi was momentarily taken aback, somewhat starstruck.


    This young lady was truly eye-catching!


    But¡­ why does her surgical gown seem a bit off?


    Thinking this, Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but frown. Was East China First Hospital short on fabric?


    However¡­


    In that moment when Tao Zi saw Meng Xi, he instantly understood why Chen Cang hadn¡¯t asked him to be his mentor.


    He was thoroughly convinced!


    Absolutely convinced.


    Not to mention anything else, just talking about this demeanor and appearance alone, Tao Zi touched his own old face and felt quite a bit lacking.


    Moreover, the person is not only good-looking but also talented!


    To be able to teach such an advanced surgery to Chen Cang, one must be truly extraordinary.


    Thinking of this, Tao Zi suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, even his face reddened a tad.


    After all¡­ admitting to Chen Cang that his surgical incision was ¡°original¡± was obviously a bit shameful.


    Fortunately, Meng Xi didn¡¯t mind, otherwise, how awkward would that have been!


    With that thought, Tao Zi awkwardly chuckled, ¡°Director Meng, what an honor to meet you, I¡¯ve heard so much about you!¡±


    Seeing Tao Zi giving so much face, not only was Meng Xi taken aback, but the surrounding directors were also stunned.


    Could it be that Meng Xi was really that impressive?


    A reputation well known?


    Tao Zi continued, ¡°Director Meng, I really have heard so much about you!¡±


    Meng Xi stood there, somewhat frozen.


    Being praised by Tao Zi with the words ¡°heard so much about you¡± repeatedly, she felt somewhat shy.


    When had she become so strong?


    Even the director Tao Zi of the Second Provincial Hospital knew about her.


    Could it have been¡­ Chen Cang who said it?


    At that thought, Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but feel delighted inside, this student still looked out for her.


    In reality, Meng Xi tended to keep a low profile in her department.


    After all, although she is now the deputy director of the department of cardiovascular surgery, many people had opinions about her.


    To put it plainly, they were unconvinced!


    After all, cardiovascular surgery is a clinical specialty, and when Meng Xi arrived, she did indeed apply for a National Natural Science Foundation of China grant and had a few million in funding for her project, which suddenly made the department famous. But¡­ Meng Xi¡¯s qualifications were ultimately a bit lackluster.


    However, being a deputy director was a coveted position, and Meng Xi being promoted to that position so suddenly made many people discontented with her.


    As one should know, being a deputy director involves certain bonuses. There is a cut from every patient¡¯s treatment fees, meaning that even if you don¡¯t do much work, you still earn money. This is real money, who wouldn¡¯t be envious?


    With four or five chief physicians and five or six associate chief physicians in cardiovascular surgery not being deputy directors, and several experienced and capable old doctors present, Meng Xi at only 30 years old becoming a deputy director certainly stirred up feelings. It was definitely impossible for there to be no hard feelings.


    So, rumors started to circulate, saying ¡°Director Meng is actually only good at research, lacking clinical capabilities¡­¡±


    Meng Xi knew that her clinical skills might indeed not match up to those of the directors, she could only work harder to improve herself.


    Hearing Tao Zi praise her so highly at this moment naturally made her feel somewhat embarrassed!


    The people around were equally curious, what exactly happened?


    It was then that Tao Zi said, ¡°Actually, my constrictive pericarditis surgery was guided by Meng Xi¡¯s student, Chen Cang!¡±


    ¡°So, in fact, it¡¯s the young Director Meng I should be thanking!¡±


    Upon hearing these words, all the directors at the scene fell silent, not a single person spoke up!


    What does that mean?


    They all knew who Chen Cang was!


    But¡­ wasn¡¯t the kid just good-looking?


    How could he instruct Director Tao in surgery?


    Where did Chen Cang get such skills?


    He must have learned from Meng Xi, of course!


    But¡­


    Is Meng Xi really that strong?


    People were somewhat skeptical!


    Disbelieving!


    Certainly, they did not believe it.


    But¡­ with Director Tao¡¯s high standing, he wouldn¡¯t be making such a joke, right?


    After all, Director Tao¡¯s reputation was well-established; there was no need for him to demean himself to elevate someone else!


    And there they all were, dumbfounded.


    Meng Xi herself couldn¡¯t help but be swept away by a wave of excitement, feeling her clothes tighten. Am I really this powerful? And¡­ Chen Cang has become so impressive?


    I didn¡¯t even know about it!

 Chapter 384 - Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Helping Teacher Meng Out of a Predicament

    Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Helping Teacher Meng Out of a Predicament


    Meng Xi felt as though he knew nothing at all.


    It was as if he had become a top performer in a daze.


    Tao Zi¡¯s words had truly shocked Meng Xi!


    How come I had no idea that Chen Cang was so strong?


    Did Chen Cang learn my techniques?


    But did I teach him the surgery for constrictive pericarditis?


    Even if I did¡­ don¡¯t I know my own level? I am far behind Director Tao!


    However, seeing the surprise and admiration on everyone¡¯s faces when they looked at him, Meng Xi felt delightfully elated.


    The feeling of being highly regarded by people was really awesome!


    With this thought, Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but puff out his chest a little, but then¡­ his clothes felt a bit tight.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, back in his office, Chen Cang suddenly heard:


    [Ding! Meng Xi¡¯s favorability +10!]


    Chen Cang was startled.


    What the heck?


    What¡¯s going on?


    How did Teacher Meng¡¯s favorability increase by 10 points!


    This kind of shock isn¡¯t easy to come by!


    Last time it took me a lot of effort to gain 10 points, and now I¡¯ve suddenly gained another 10 points.


    My favorability with Teacher Meng has gone back up to 40 points.


    The video broadcast in the office only showed the surgical video, which turned to a black screen after the surgery ended, naturally blocking out any visibility or audibility of the surroundings.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the operating room, Tao Zi kept exclaiming, ¡°Director Meng is truly young and promising, flourishing in both research and clinical work! Director Xia, the cardiology department of East University Hospital is really full of talents!¡±


    Although Xia Gaofeng was somewhat confused, the feeling of being complimented was naturally great.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing! Director Tao is too kind.¡±


    But now Xia Gaofeng regretted not paying more attention to Meng Xi¡¯s surgeries in the past.


    He had been unaware of the treasure he had right under his nose, allowing Tao Zi to get there first.


    Thinking of this, Xia Gaofeng felt somewhat regretful.


    However, at this moment, a director suddenly said,


    ¡°Right, I have another surgery today too, another patient with constrictive pericarditis¡­ How about it, Director Meng, would you demonstrate for us?¡±


    As soon as these words came out, everyone¡¯s eyes around him lit up!


    Right!


    That¡¯s a great idea.


    Even Xia Gaofeng and Tao Zi nearby were looking at Meng Xi with great anticipation.


    Meng Xi was also taken aback.


    Oh man¡­


    I¡­


    In comparison to Tao Zi, his skills were significantly lacking.


    But Tao Zi had built him up so much, what was he supposed to do?


    With this thought, Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but sigh, it didn¡¯t matter, he would just do it!


    If push came to shove, he would openly admit his limited abilities.


    But then Tao Zi said, ¡°By the way, where¡¯s Xiao Chen? Didn¡¯t Chen Cang come? I think we could let Xiao Chen give it a try.¡±


    Just as Meng Xi was getting ready to step forward, after hearing Tao Zi¡¯s suggestion, he suddenly had a thought, right!


    Chen Cang could do it!


    If I can¡¯t, why not Chen Cang?


    After saying this, he picked up the phone: ¡°I¡¯ll call Xiao Chen over.¡±


    ¡­


    When Chen Cang received Teacher Meng¡¯s call, he immediately heard the system¡¯s notification sound.


    [Ding! Aid Teacher Meng out of a predicament, and upon successful resolution, automatically receive: +10 Meng Xi¡¯s favorability.]


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up, 10 points of favorability, and with his own 50 points, just another 10 points would allow him to exchange for a Level 3 cardiac surgery skill.


    With that thought, Chen Cang suddenly felt excited and quickly nodded.


    ¡°Teacher, wait for me, I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    Chen Cang hung up the phone and sprang to his feet, dashing towards the operating room.


    Once he entered the operating room, everyone looked at Chen Cang with curiosity.


    Was this young Chen really as impressive as Director Tao Zi had said?


    The crowd¡­ still harbored some doubts.


    But since he was already here, might as well give it a try!


    Everyone was half convinced, even Meng Xi felt uncertain.


    She cautiously pulled Chen Cang aside and, while washing up, asked with a skeptical look in her big eyes, ¡°Can you do it?¡±


    Chen Cang blurted out without hesitation, ¡°Definitely!¡±


    Meng Xi was taken aback, ¡°Really?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°Of course!¡±


    After washing their hands, Chen Cang walked in and another chief surgeon of cardiothoracic surgery, Gao Jianxin, approached him, ¡°Xiao Chen, let me fill you in on the patient¡¯s condition.¡±


    ¡°Tuberculous pericarditis, long-term¡­ The current situation is constrictive pericarditis, and it¡¯s not very clear what the specifics are, but be careful during the surgery!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, and after discussing with Chief Gao for a while and reviewing the images, he felt he had a good understanding.


    After endotracheal intubation by the anesthesiologist, general anesthesia was administered, and the patient was placed in the conventional supine position.


    Chen Cang said to the nurse, ¡°Elevate the scapular area on the back.¡±


    The male nurse, Xiao Qin, hurriedly nodded, placing a sterile sheet under the patient.


    There were quite a few male nurses in the operating room, as transferring patients is physically demanding, and sometimes girls lack the physical strength that boys have.


    The crowd was slightly surprised to see Chen Cang propping up the back.


    Was he going to use the conventional incision?


    Yes! This time, Chen Cang did not choose the incision everyone was expecting but switched to another traditional surgical approach.


    Chen Cang held the scalpel and sliced right through the center of the sternum!


    Hmm, this cut was very decisive.


    The area behind the sternum was clean, without any adhesions, which eased the onlookers¡¯ minds a bit.


    Sometimes, adhesions are completely invisible from the outside examination.


    Often, after opening the abdomen or chest, there are unexpected surprises, or shocks.


    Chen Cang¡¯s chest opening was crisp and neat, with very little bleeding.


    Gao Jianxin personally assisted Chen Cang, nodding in approval; it seemed that Xiao Chen truly had the skill.


    Chen Cang turned:


    ¡°Rib spreader!¡±


    Gao Jianxin quickly handed over the rib spreader, prying apart the sternum on both sides.


    Now, the pericardium was exposed.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang immediately frowned!


    Because the appearance of the pericardium¡­ seemed off.


    Even Gao Jianxin detected the anomaly!


    ¡°This pericardium seems to have some serious adhesions.¡±


    Indeed!


    Experienced doctors could tell just by looking at this pericardium that the adhesions inside were severe ¨C such is the power of experience.


    The onlookers surrounded the operating table, also surrounding with curiosity.


    Yet Meng Xi looked on nervously at Chen Cang, fearing that he might encounter a problem.


    Chen Cang picked up the scalpel blade and began to peel away the pericardium from the tip of the heart.


    However, as he made the incision, Chen Cang noticed a problem ¨C the pericardium had thickened noticeably!


    This would significantly increase the difficulty.


    [Ding! Constrictive Pericarditis Monster, Boss Level, LV60, Severe adhesions causing thickening of the pericardium, with serious adhesion between the pericardium and the heart muscle. Be extremely careful not to damage the myocardium during separation.]


    Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback, unable to help but swallow!


    Not out of fear!


    But out of longing!


    He hadn¡¯t encountered a big boss like this in a long time, and to be honest, Chen Cang was quite looking forward to it.


    To the others, however, his reaction came off as hesitation.


    Gao Jianxin was frowning, ¡°These adhesions are severe. Pericardial decortication might be very troublesome, right? Xiao Chen¡­ can you handle it? Should we ask Director Tao to step in?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, picked up the scalpel blade, and began peeling layer by layer.


    His eyes didn¡¯t show fear, but were filled with excitement!

 Chapter 385 - Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Boss Monster!

    Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Boss Monster!


    At this moment in the office, Ge Huai and the others had thought the surgery was over and were about to turn off the television.


    Suddenly, the transmission screen lit up again!


    Upon seeing the surgery scene, the three of them immediately showed a look of joy.


    What a pleasant surprise!


    There¡¯s nothing more exciting than watching a surgery.


    If there is, then just bring on more surgeries.


    When the three of them saw the pericardium being opened in the image, their eyes narrowed immediately!


    Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°This is trouble!¡±


    The other doctoral colleagues also nodded repeatedly: ¡°Hmm, such adhesion of the pericardium is really rare, and it¡¯s so tightly adhered, the pericardium is clearly thickened. With such a cut, it¡¯s really hard to judge its depth.¡±


    When the pericardium and the outer surface of the heart are tightly connected, it¡¯s the most difficult time for constrictive pericarditis.


    At such a time, wanting to separate it, the difficulty increases by too many multiples.


    Right now, everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on Chen Cang.


    Xia Gaofeng was just about to speak, but Tao Zi quickly stopped him.


    He saw Chen Cang thinking!


    There was no choice. Faced with such surgery, not just Chen Cang, they themselves did not know how to proceed.


    Dozens of seconds passed!


    Chen Cang continued to act.


    Once Chen Cang inserted the scalpel, he gently lifted it, and felt the pericardium suddenly loosen.


    Chen Cang¡¯s face lit up with joy!


    Indeed, it was possible!


    Because between the thickened pericardium and external membrane, there is a layer of loose connective tissue, which is the boundary line where one strives to peel off the pericardial adhesion.


    But if the adhesion is severe, this connective tissue and the outer membrane of the pericardium will adhere tightly together, making it difficult to find.


    But no matter how severe the adhesion, this layer of connective tissue, pericardium, and external membrane ultimately have different properties, Chen Cang quickly turned around.


    ¡°Forceps, take it over!¡±


    Gao Jianxin nodded quickly; he was curious how Chen Cang managed to find this layer of connective tissue, but as Chen Cang had already found the apex of the heart from the outside and he remained clueless, he could only rush to lift it out.


    As Gao Jianxin lifted the piece of pericardium, Chen Cang quickly and gently pressed his left hand on the surface of the heart!


    At this moment, everyone could clearly see a beating heart!


    The difficulty of the surgery was damn high!


    After all, the movement of the heart isn¡¯t that precise. To excise the adhesion between the heart and pericardium without absolute skill and expertise could really cause problems!


    If light, damage to the coronary arteries could cause bleeding.


    If severe, myocardial rupture could threaten life!


    At this moment, the difficulty of the surgery increased proportionally!


    Then, as a small piece of the pericardium was lifted, everyone could clearly see the adhesion between the epicardium and the pericardium.


    Too severe!


    And troublesome!


    Because of the adhesions¡¯ varying tightness, a decisive treatment approach could not be chosen.


    Chen Cang turned and said indifferently:


    ¡°Peanut forceps!¡±


    ¡°Gauze!¡±


    The nurse quickly handed them over, and Chen Cang, covering his fingers with the gauze, held his breath, not daring to make a move.


    He said to Gao Jianxin, ¡°Make sure it¡¯s well held, evenly, don¡¯t apply pressure!¡±


    Gao Jianxin took a deep breath, not daring to make a move.


    And all the people around were drawn into the atmosphere of the moment.


    Chen Cang¡¯s fingers exerted a slight force, carefully loosening the loosely adhered areas.


    One by one!


    Area by area!


    The loose ones were manageable, but right then, a major obstruction appeared!


    A cord-like adhesion became visible, and everyone couldn¡¯t help but widen their eyes.


    Everyone sighed: Ah¡­ this surgery has become quite a task.


    This kind of cord-like adhesion, being severe and accompanied by calcification, presents a great difficulty in separation, with sharp dissection basically impractical, only sharp dissection can be used.


    Chen Cang put down the gauze, picked up the scalpel, and wanted to perform sharp dissection.


    But¡­ the adhesion was getting tighter and tighter, how to separate it?


    Chen Cang gritted his teeth and changed location!


    Indeed, separating the pericardium starts with the easier parts and progresses to the more difficult.


    Moreover, it depends on the patient¡¯s condition during the surgery to determine the basic range of dissection.


    Chen Cang, step by step, struggled to dissect!


    But regardless of the order, the apical region definitely needed to be completely dissected. The area on the left side needed to approach the left phrenic nerve, yet it could not damage the phrenic nerve, and not dare to injure the heart.


    Difficult!


    At this moment, Gao Jianxin was cautiously monitoring everything, fearful of any problems, because if there were any arrhythmias or unstable discoloration of the cardiac muscle, more plans and actions would need to be immediately taken, and the surgery had to be completed as soon as possible!


    The heart, after all, is different from other regions.


    Therefore, surgeries in cardiac surgery all start at level three, averaging at level four¡­


    Hence, cardiac surgeons all start with a PhD degree, averaging at an associate director level.


    The surgery progressed step by step!


    Finally, Chen Cang found the most critical spot.


    A calcified lesion embedded in the cardiac muscle, upon seeing this moment, everyone couldn¡¯t help but turn pale, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy!


    It was a big one!


    Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°This¡­ We don¡¯t need to deal with this, right?¡±


    Tao Zi was silent too; he wasn¡¯t sure whether it needed to be cut out or not.


    But it would definitely be better if it were cut out!


    This embedded lesion had already caused serious damage, adverse to the function and recovery of the heart.


    But¡­


    Peeling it off would be extremely difficult, wouldn¡¯t it?


    Compared to the risk of removal, not removing it would cause chronic damage, but¡­ the risk would be much smaller. This was also why Xia Gaofeng suggested not peeling it off!


    Everyone started to worry because the previous separation was done on the pericardium, but now they would have to peel it off the heart.


    Moreover, due to severe adhesions, they could only perform a sharp dissection.


    Wielding a scalpel over the heart while ensuring not to damage the cardiac muscle.


    Wasn¡¯t this asking for the impossible?


    But!


    This was surgery!


    There are always uncertainties and risks during an operation.


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but look towards Chen Cang, but¡­ nobody saw even a trace of panic in his eyes or on his face.


    Calm!


    Collected!


    Composed!


    It seemed as simple as removing an appendix.


    Carefree and unruffled, serene as he was¡­


    In such a situation, an island flap preservation could be done, and forced removal was not recommended.


    However, the line of separation was unclear, and the adhesion was severe; Chen Cang had to free the surface of the cardiac muscle from its constraints.


    Now, it was a dilemma whether to advance or retreat!


    Advancing was best, but if a myocardial rupture occurred, it would be dangerous.


    At this time, Chen Cang boldly performed a procedure.


    This attribute was something he learned from Director Tao Zi: stability!


    This stability was relative!


    With this thought, Chen Cang¡¯s lips curled slightly upwards.


    He said to Gao Jianxin, ¡°Be ready!¡±


    At this moment, Chen Cang picked up a scalpel and a peanut dissector simultaneously, holding the dissector in his left hand to clamp the pericardium, and with his right hand, carefully peeled in rhythm with the beating of the heart!


    This scene scared everyone stiff.


    All eyes were on Chen Cang.


    Could there be such an operation?


    Maintaining the same motion as the heart, are you damn sure you¡¯re not joking?


    Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t hold back anymore: ¡°Holy shit, that¡¯s awesome!¡±


    It wasn¡¯t just him; everyone around was stunned by the sight of Chen Cang peeling off the calcified lesion embedded in the cardiac muscle.


    Yet, no one dared to disturb.


    Such delicate work, no one dared to disturb, even Xia Gaofeng quickly covered his own mouth with his hand.


    He really couldn¡¯t help it!


    This was the last piece of adhesion.


    Once peeled, the surgery would be a success.


    In this moment, who would still doubt Chen Cang?


    Today, he hadn¡¯t used any exotic or innovative surgery methods.


    All were traditional surgical operations.


    Yet, the more traditional the practice, the more impressive it seemed when performed.


    ps: Thanks for the generous tip from Yang Chen Jiu Ri, thank you!


    I want to recommend a book: Zhe Dong Pifu¡¯s ¡°Starting with a Small Fishing Boat¡±, which is a new book written by the author of ¡°Returning to be a Big Shot in the ¡¯80s¡± after the old book was blocked. It tells the story of a reborn island owner and farming, interested friends can check it out, it¡¯s an alternate history novel by an experienced author.


    In the end, remember, you can read it, but¡­ bring the votes back with you¡­ otherwise, I¡¯ll really cry¡­

 Chapter 386 - Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Why Can Only the Hand Be Strengthened?

    Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Why Can Only the Hand Be Strengthened?


    Before long, the surgery ended successfully!


    The patient¡¯s vital signs were stable, and the heart rate was normal, without even a hint of abnormality.


    Everyone looked at Chen Cang, the young man still appearing calm and composed, unflustered by the changes.


    As the patient was taken away, the way people looked at Chen Cang changed markedly.


    There were no words of shock, no superfluous language, all feelings in that moment turned into warm applause.


    Xia Gaofeng and Tao Zi led the clapping, and the people around joined in.


    This surgery!


    It was hugely inspiring to them.


    Sometimes, the innovative surgical techniques indeed dazzle the crowd, causing quite the surprise.


    But more often, Chen Cang¡¯s traditional techniques and methods taught everyone a great deal and provided much inspiration.


    The way Chen Cang coordinated his movements with the rhythm of the heartbeat during the removal of calcified lesions from the myocardium was a truly ingenious concept and operation.


    Perhaps not everyone would do it this way!


    But it opened a window for everybody.


    A brand-new, beautiful window!


    Moreover, it wasn¡¯t just that; every single action by Chen Cang impressed the crowd, including how to protect the coronary arteries and how to carefully preserve the phrenic nerve¡ªall crucial for the patient¡¯s recovery!


    The applause lasted for a long time.


    Their esteem was genuine.


    ¡°There¡¯s a sequence to learning, and specialization in one¡¯s craft.¡± In the field of surgery, Chen Cang truly specialized.


    Watching the young man standing there confidently, Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng found themselves liking him more and more.


    Alas!


    Such a good kid.


    It¡¯s a pity he followed Meng Xi.


    Tao Zi suddenly froze: ¡°Old Xia, how old is your¡­ daughter?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng glared at Tao Zi, about to berate him, but then a thought struck him¡ªa good idea, indeed!


    However, Xia Gaofeng had another thought!


    He remembered something important.


    ¡°Old Tao, I have something to tell you!¡±


    Tao Zi was taken aback: ¡°What is it? I don¡¯t have a daughter! Don¡¯t get your hopes up, and my son is already married; his child is three.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng rolled his eyes: ¡°I¡¯m talking about something serious here!¡±


    ¡°The National Cardiovascular Surgery Skills Competition!¡±


    At this revelation, Tao Zi was momentarily stunned.


    ¡°You mean¡­¡± Realization dawned on Tao Zi, his face changing: ¡°Yes, that¡¯s a great idea! Why didn¡¯t you remind me sooner? I nearly forgot!¡±


    Shaking his head, Xia Gaofeng spoke gravely: ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking about this for a whole year¡­ humiliating!¡±


    Seeing this, Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but sigh and said nothing more.


    Xia Gaofeng also sighed: ¡°Alright, before that, we need to get Chen Cang to join the provincial cardiovascular surgery association as soon as possible, so he¡¯ll be eligible to register.¡±


    Tao Zi nodded, a sheepish smile on his face: ¡°You¡¯re more thorough than I am, Director Xia. I almost forgot too!¡±


    The annual national surgical skill competition always requires a recommendation from one¡¯s unit and membership in the relevant association.


    For example, this year¡¯s cardiovascular surgery skill competition was organized by the Chinese Medical Association together with the Health Commission.


    If Chen Cang wants to participate, on one hand, he needs to be a member of the cardiovascular association, and on the other, he needs the endorsement of his unit.


    Xia Gaofeng rolled his eyes: ¡°This time we¡¯ve got to make a strong case for it. Chen Cang¡­ he might really be able to redeem our past losses. We can¡¯t be at the bottom every year.¡±


    At this statement, Tao Zi also couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ¡°Hmm, I think Chen Cang will be fine!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng shook his head: ¡°But he needs intensive training! Looking at the cardiac surgeries Chen Cang is familiar with, he still needs focused time to learn.¡±


    Tao Zi muttered: ¡°This year the competition is on major vascular surgeries. Chen Cang¡¯s problem is¡­ his fundamentals in vessel suturing are solid. I believe he¡¯ll be fine!¡±


    As the two of them quietly discussed¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meng Xi, observing Chen Cang nearby, was also deeply impressed.


    Really good.


    Really impressive!


    No weaker than any of those others.


    With this thought, Meng Xi¡¯s gaze filled with expectation when he looked at Chen Cang.


    [Ding! Task requested by Teacher Meng Xi completed, gained favorability points +10.]


    Chen Cang was delighted¡ªquite a fruitful gain.


    But the most important thing wasn¡¯t that, it was the item that dropped from the boss monster he had slain.


    At this moment, Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng walked over.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, not bad! You¡¯re really awesome!¡± Xia Gaofeng exclaimed sincerely.


    Though Tao Zi didn¡¯t speak, some things truly don¡¯t need too many words to be expressed.


    And in the eyes of the surrounding department heads, there was also admiration.


    A young and promising surgeon with such ability was a blessing for them.


    As the saying goes, the new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves forward, each generation is stronger than the last!


    As doctors, they hoped for this even more.


    It¡¯s a baton in the medical relay!


    Competition is often among people of the same age and rank, so for these senior department heads, seeing Chen Cang¡¯s prowess only made them happy.


    Unable to restrain himself, Xia Gaofeng said, ¡°Xiao Chen, after the surgery, come to my office. I have something to tell you.¡±


    Chen Cang immediately became curious, but considering the expressions on Xia Gaofeng and Tao Zi, it seemed it was indeed something serious.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Alright, Director!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng and Tao Zi got up and left.


    The various directors and deputy directors in the operating room also dispersed.


    After all, everyone¡¯s time is precious.


    Chen Cang, looking at Meng Xi who remained till the end, couldn¡¯t help but smile: ¡°Teacher Meng, I didn¡¯t embarrass you, did I?¡±


    Meng Xi, unfazed and calm, casually responded: ¡°Not bad!¡±


    Meng Xi thought she should also be able to, right?


    With that thought, she decided to find time to give it a try.


    She felt that Chen Cang had given her great inspiration, from which she benefited enormously, like an epiphany¡ªvery good!


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Isn¡¯t the Director looking for you? Hurry and find out what it¡¯s about.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, smiled, and waved goodbye to Meng Xi before leaving.


    [Ding! Succeeded in defeating constrictive pericarditis boss monster, reward obtained: 1. A large amount of experience; 2. Agility gemstone (Agile) x1; 3. Needle holder (Blue)]


    Chen Cang was immediately pleased!


    Two good things!


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have leveled up to level 30, skill point +1.]


    Chen Cang was mildly pleased, took out the agility gemstone, held it in his hand, and felt information passing through it.


    [Ding! Agility gemstone, attribute: Agility +1. Tip: Used to enhance hands, after enhancement, your hands will permanently increase in agility by 10%, and will receive equipment bonuses.]


    Chen Cang, with a thought, chose to enhance his right hand.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang felt a refreshing sensation in his right hand, and immediately noticed a different change in it!


    It seemed much more agile than before.


    And a lot more comfortable, too.


    With a slight movement, it felt noticeably more convenient and agile.


    This was a nice improvement, a permanent enhancement, and unaffected whether he wore gloves or not.


    [Needle holder: Blue, attribute: Stability +5; The singular stability attribute makes the needle holder more firm and stable when holding suture needles, significantly reducing the likelihood of needles bending and slipping!]


    Upon seeing the equipment, Chen Cang was slightly pleased¡ªsurgical equipment was finally making an appearance, wasn¡¯t it?


    The needle holder is a commonly used clinical instrument with a high frequency of use.


    Moreover, the needle holder is the only irreplaceable instrument in clinical practice!


    What does that mean?


    No other instrument is recommended clinically to functionally substitute for it, even if the structure of the instrument¡¯s tip is similar to that of a needle holder.


    Unless it¡¯s an emergency, one can use straight forceps for the same operation, but must be careful.


    That¡¯s because it may cause unsteady grasping, resulting in needles bending, slipping, or changing direction, as well as damaging the needle holder or the needle itself, which could harm patient tissue or the surgeon¡¯s hands.


    The advent of the needle holder can be considered a progression in clinical surgery.


    Seeing this equipment, Chen Cang felt thrilled.


    If needle holders had appeared¡­ then forceps, vessel clips, staplers, electrocautery devices¡­ were they far behind?


    Chen Cang was quite fast at vascular suturing and had high demands for needle holders; thus, this Stability +5 needle holder was just perfect for him.


    The only pity was¡­ why could the agility gemstone only be used for hand enhancement?


    He wasn¡¯t convinced!

 Chapter 388 - Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Deep Schemes!

    Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Deep Schemes!


    Chen Cang looked at Wang Zhi with a puzzled face, ¡°Manager Wang, where should I¡­ pay the money?¡±


    Wang Zhi was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered and replied with a slight smile, ¡°Mr. Chen, you¡¯re joking, right? This house is a gift from CEO Zheng; what money is there to talk about?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°A house for me? No, no, that¡¯s too valuable!¡±


    Chen Cang gasped for air the moment he thought about the fact that a house worth over four million yuan was being given away for free.


    It¡¯s four million yuan, not four hundred yuan, to be given away just like that.


    Wang Zhi chuckled, ¡°Mr. Chen, it¡¯s no use telling me about the money! You are CEO Zheng¡¯s friend, I think it would be more appropriate for you to give CEO Zheng a call.¡±


    Chen Cang thought so too, it was no use discussing it with Wang Zhi since he¡­ was following Zheng Guotan¡¯s orders.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang glanced at Wang Zhi and smiled, ¡°Then¡­ I¡¯ll make a call first. Please wait a moment, Manager Wang.¡±


    After saying that, Chen Cang stood up and dialed Zheng Guotan.


    When Zheng Guotan saw the incoming call from Chen Cang, he answered, ¡°Hello? Dr. Chen, good day.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°CEO Zheng, good day¡­¡±


    Before Chen Cang could finish, Zheng Guotan asked, ¡°Dr. Chen, I asked Manager Wang to get in touch with you. We should get the house decorated quickly. Share your ideas about the renovation with Manager Wang; our company has a team for that.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately walked outside, ¡°CEO Zheng, this is¡­ too valuable; I really can¡¯t accept it.¡±


    Zheng Guotan laughed, ¡°Dr. Chen, let me be frank. I¡¯m very grateful for the way you sutured Ruyun¡¯s injury, which is healing nicely. Every time I think of this favor worth tens of thousands of yuan, it makes me uncomfortable: I sincerely want to be friends with you, Dr. Chen. There isn¡¯t much I can help with, but as it happens, you were looking to buy a house, and I sell houses, isn¡¯t this a good chance to repay a favor? Moreover, my wife¡¯s facial scar still needs your help!¡±


    ¡°So, please don¡¯t be so polite with me about this matter. I¡¯ve also inquired; performing a plastic surgery can cost over a million yuan these days. I just want to curry favor in advance, in case something comes up in the future, it¡¯ll be easier to ask for your help.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang began, ¡°This is¡­¡±


    Zheng Guotan continued, and then suddenly realized, ¡°Chen, you¡¯re with the provincial second hospital¡¯s establishment now, right?¡±


    Chen Cang hummed in agreement, ¡°Yes, my establishment issue was resolved not long ago.¡±


    Zheng Guotan muttered, ¡°Oh¡­ I see!¡±


    ¡°Chen, here¡¯s what we¡¯ll do about the house; I¡¯ll gift it to you, and you probably worry about potential issues. After all, you¡¯re a promising young man, it¡¯s not worth tarnishing your reputation over a little money. Give your phone to Wang Zhi, I¡¯ll talk to him.¡±


    Chen Cang handed the phone to Wang Zhi, and the two began to negotiate on the spot.


    It seemed they were discussing how to lower the price.


    Chen Cang heard something about special subsidy housing, group purchases, collective housing¡­ and also promotional activities, gift shopping vouchers¡­


    Compared to CEO Zheng, Wang Zhi was more articulate.


    Eventually, after who knows how long, Wang Zhi looked at Chen Cang, gestured an OK, then handed the phone back to him.


    Zheng Guotan said, ¡°Chen, we¡¯ll handle the house as a special discount property, and take the group purchase route. I¡¯ll have the company organize a special event where you¡¯ll be the lucky customer¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was confused, but he couldn¡¯t deny¡­ they had numerous tactics at their disposal.


    In the end, Chen Cang did spend money.


    He spent a million yuan.


    But¡­ what about furniture, decorations, and a whole bunch of assistance for both software and hardware!


    Chen Cang finally understood.


    CEO Zheng was intent on making that one million yuan yield the effect of several million and then give it back to him.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After chatting for a while, Chen Cang gave up.


    He didn¡¯t dwell on it any longer. As Zheng Guotan said, it¡¯s the thought that counts, and what about human feelings?


    Zheng Guotan was eager to befriend him, and Chen Cang would help as much as he could in the future.


    Moreover, Chen Cang also felt that getting to know someone like Zheng Guotan was not a bad thing at all.


    After leaving the sales office, Chen Cang and Wang Zhi had dinner together.


    Chen Cang knew, even though Wang Zhi helped him because of Zheng Guotan, relationships between people needed mutual maintenance.


    Familiarity breeds fondness, and repeated interactions lead to friendship.


    Even though Chen Cang knew that Wang Zhi helped him because of CEO Zheng, and even if he did nothing, Wang Zhi would still do his best to handle his leader¡¯s affairs, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t always look to Zheng Guotan for everything. Making friends with Wang Zhi would save him a lot of trouble in the future.


    More friends mean more paths, right?


    Chen Cang wasn¡¯t naive; society wasn¡¯t as simple as he thought, nor were interpersonal relationships.


    Chen Cang was keen on making connections, and Wang Zhi was even more pleased inside. With their ¡°meeting of minds,¡± their relationship naturally took its course.


    Over the course of a meal, they were toasting to each other, calling each other brothers.


    Chen Cang returned home, feeling thrilled. In one evening, he had settled the house matter. After freshening up and lying in bed, he prepared to give Qin Yue a surprise, planning to take her on a weekend tour of the place and design their future together, including the renovation and furniture.


    Chen Cang knew that decorating was a bottomless pit, so this time, Zheng Guotan really gave him a great discount.


    Thinking of Qin Yue¡¯s happy face when she saw the house, Chen Cang still felt delighted; everything seemed worthwhile!


    Chen Cang picked up his phone and sent a message to Qin Yue, ¡°I did something big this afternoon!¡±


    Qin Yue had just picked up her phone when she saw Chen Cang¡¯s message, which startled her!


    This Chen Cang¡­ has no shame at all, does he?


    Auntie¡­ you¡¯re¡­ too scary!


    Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a typo for ¡°big thing¡± and couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter; the typo was quite soulful.


    With that in mind, Qin Yue silently replied, ¡°Let¡¯s break up! I don¡¯t want to be the other woman.¡±


    Then she added, ¡°You¡¯ve done such a conscienceless act behind my back and still tell me? What kind of comment do you expect me to make?¡±


    Chen Cang blinked, suddenly confused!


    Where was the awaited praise?


    Where was the curiosity?


    Why breakup?


    What third party!


    Chen Cang turned back to look carefully at the message he had sent, and immediately his eyes widened in shock!


    He couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry!


    ¡°I did a great aunt today!¡±


    This damn typo was just too horrific.


    But Qin Yue must have already noticed it.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but send a sweating emoji.


    ¡°Typo. It¡¯s a big event¡­¡±


    Qin Yue sent a picture of a little girl wearing a greenish hat.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh; this girl was so cheeky!


    Definitely the type who needs to be scolded every three days or she¡¯ll start taking the roof apart!


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°I¡¯ll surprise you on Sunday.¡±


    Qin Yue: ¡°The great aunt is pregnant? So soon? You already have kids?¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s forehead was covered in black lines, and he wished he could throw his phone at Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face. Could they not have a pleasant chat anymore?


    After all, it¡¯s the father¡¯s fault if the daughter is not taught!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, Qin Xiaoyuan, looking at his daughter playing with her phone on the couch, suddenly felt a bit out of place.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going out for a stroll today?¡± Old Qin asked with confusion.


    Qin Yue blinked, ¡°Oh! I¡¯m off today.¡±


    Old Qin hesitated. Neither Chen Cang nor Qin Yue was on duty today, and with nothing important happening, why weren¡¯t they going out for a stroll?


    Could they have had a fight?


    Over what?


    The house, perhaps?


    Thinking of this, Old Qin suddenly turned pale; his son-in-law¡­ although he claimed it wasn¡¯t very ideal, on second thought, he actually found him quite satisfactory, at least he was quite content with him.


    Qin Yue and Chen Cang could be considered a perfect match, Yueyue had finally found someone she liked and got along with.


    They couldn¡¯t let this matter hinder the development of the kids¡¯ relationship.


    Moreover, Qin Xiaoyuan genuinely thought well of Chen Cang, especially his future prospects.


    But, after all, he was a child from the village; it wasn¡¯t easy for any of them. They should pursue their development and not let the house issue delay their future.


    The more Old Qin thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, increasingly unable to let it go.


    Seeing his wife and daughter sitting on the couch with their phones, Old Qin leaned in.


    ¡°Yueyue, about that matter of buying a house you mentioned last time¡­ Dad thinks it¡¯s quite suitable now!¡± Qin Xiaoyuan said earnestly.


    Ji Ruyun was caught off-guard by Old Qin¡¯s sudden statement.


    And Qin Yue was stunned.


    ¡°Dad! Do you really think it¡¯s suitable?¡± Qin Yue asked with a face full of surprise.


    She hadn¡¯t expected her father to actually agree!


    After all, it wasn¡¯t a small amount of money.


    But¡­ she thought about the house she had bought on the sly, definitely a surprise for Chen Cang!


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, ¡°Yeah, I now think we should also buy a house; after all, leaving money in the bank is getting us nowhere, better to buy a house to preserve its value.¡±


    ¡°At first, your mother and I thought that after you graduated, you might want to go to Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou for career development, and we planned to buy a house in the same city to be close to you, to cook for you and such.¡±


    ¡°Now that you¡¯ve settled in Anyang, your parents also think it¡¯s time to buy a house!¡±


    At those words, Qin Yue felt a wave of emotion and her nose tingled.


    She couldn¡¯t help but hug Old Qin¡¯s back and mumbled, ¡°Dad, you¡¯re the best!¡±


    Old Qin couldn¡¯t help but feel warm inside, and was even more determined to buy that house.


    And in fact, Old Qin thought, if Chen Cang and Qin Yue got married, buying them a house would be worth it!


    Why is that?


    Qin Yue would marry Chen Cang, but since they both worked in Anyang, they would definitely spend more time with their own family than with Chen Cang¡¯s parents.


    When he and his wife got older, they would inevitably need Chen Cang¡¯s help.


    And then¡­ there was only this daughter of his; in the end, who would his earnings go to? Could he possibly spend it all?


    It would all go to Chen Cang anyway!


    One has to think broadly and look to the long term; what use is it holding onto money or a house?


    Better to spend the money and make the couple happy and settle down well.


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt it was time to work on his wife.

 Chapter 389 - Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Im sorry... I was wrong!

    Chapter 389: Chapter 389: I¡¯m sorry¡­ I was wrong!


    The next day proceeded as usual with work, and Chen Cang and Qin Yue each harbored their own thoughts, always contemplating how to surprise the other.


    When their shifts changed, they exchanged glances that hid mischievous smiles with a touch of secrecy.


    That¡¯s just the way it is, when you¡¯re in love, you can¡¯t keep secrets to yourself.


    Any good news feels like it should be shared with the other.


    The office romance between Chen Cang and Qin Yue had yet to be revealed.


    Moreover, Chen Cang even felt that this ¡°stolen¡± thrill was particularly exciting!


    It was just that¡­ Old Chen stood beside Chen Cang, observing the peculiar looks they exchanged, and his curiosity was piqued.


    Afer all, Old Chen had mentored Chen Cang for almost three years, like raising an apprentice; how could he not know Chen Cang well?


    After the shift handover, Old Chen gave a mischievous chuckle in Chen Cang¡¯s direction, making him look rather guilty.


    ¡°Boss! You¡¯re married¡­ Stop looking at me like that, it¡¯s creepy! Be careful, or I¡¯ll tell your wife¡­¡±


    Chen Bingsheng gently slapped Chen Cang on the head with an open palm, ¡°You little rascal, I could kill you! Don¡¯t leave after work; join me for dinner, I need to ask you something.¡±


    After saying that, Chen Bingsheng didn¡¯t linger to banter with Chen Cang, but hurried off to the operating room.


    Old Chen had been quite busy lately. Ever since the relationship between emergency medicine and general surgery had progressed from unfamiliar to a cold war and now to a tentative peace, Old Chen¡¯s surgeries had been increasing in number, most of which involved general surgical patients.


    Chen Bingsheng had watched with his own eyes as Chen Cang gradually made a name for himself and was happiest about it.


    After all, like his own apprentice making it big, that was the best thing ever.


    Chen Cang suddenly chuckled, ¡°Hehe, Boss, I¡¯m in, I¡¯m in. I¡¯m free today, I¡¯ll assist you.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Cang stood up and chased after Chen Bingsheng.


    Seeing this, Old Chen was momentarily stunned, then felt a warmth inside and smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    In reality, in the hospital setting, three years was the maximum for mentorship. Generally, after newcomers arrived at the hospital, the senior doctors would mentor them for half a year to a year before they started handling their own patients.


    At this point, everyone was colleagues, and some had even become competitors. Therefore, many doctors during the mentorship period weren¡¯t like true teachers; they only taught procedures and rarely fostered a heartfelt connection like Old Chen¡¯s with Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang was very much aware of this; since joining the hospital, Old Chen had treated him exceptionally well. When he was earning little, he¡¯d tag along with Old Chen for meals and drinks¡ªotherwise, how could he have saved up twenty thousand yuan?


    If money was a trivial matter, then teaching Chen Cang how to behave and things that can¡¯t be learned in school or from books were not trivial at all.


    Therefore, the kindness and affection of Old Chen toward him had always stayed in his heart.


    On the way, Old Chen suddenly asked with a teasing smile, ¡°Been dating someone recently?¡±


    Chen Cang laughed heartily, not hiding it from Old Chen, ¡°Hehe, Boss, you caught me, huh?¡±


    Old Chen also broke into hearty laughter, ¡°Did you think you could keep it from me?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s just the beginning, hasn¡¯t been long.¡±


    Old Chen clicked his tongue, ¡°Qin Yue is a nice girl, with a good personality in all aspects, and you¡¯re quite carefree. Having little Qin would really complement you!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve got good taste, kid. Act fast. This is the Dean¡¯s future son-in-law; in the future, I might have to hold onto your coattails.¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°By then you¡¯ll be the chief, and I¡¯ll be your deputy.¡±


    Old Chen smacked Chen Cang on the head, ¡°Look at you, getting all cocky now.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard from Zhixin that you haven¡¯t been to the cosmetic surgery hospital much lately?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve been too busy lately. I need to assist in surgeries with my mentor when I¡¯m free. Last weekend, I looked at some houses. If there are patients there, I go; otherwise, I just show up when I¡¯m fully booked. I don¡¯t usually go there anymore.¡±


    When Old Chen heard Chen Cang talking about buying a house, he smiled, ¡°Buying a house? Do you have enough money? If not, I¡¯ll ask your sister-in-law to chip in.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Cang quickly laughed and declined Old Chen¡¯s kind offer, ¡°It¡¯s enough, it¡¯s enough. Once the renovations are done, you all should come over.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng looked thoughtfully at Chen Cang and advised, ¡°You know¡­ Little Chen, don¡¯t rush, and don¡¯t overwork yourself. Money is endless; you can¡¯t earn it all. Just do it moderately, you¡¯re still young. By the time you reach the chief¡¯s age, you¡¯ll have more money than you can spend.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re short on cash, just tell me. Your sister-in-law and I have a bit of savings; don¡¯t be embarrassed to ask.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Alright, Boss, I won¡¯t be shy!¡±


    At that moment, Zhang Zhixin walked over and saw Chen Cang and Chen Bingsheng together, instantly smiling, ¡°Hey! You¡¯re both here. Long time no see, Little Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, ¡°When do I not see you in the operating room?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin shook his head, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile, ¡°How can it be the same? I was saying it¡¯s been a long time since you¡¯ve assisted me in surgery.¡±


    At this point, Zhang Zhixin leaned over to Old Chen and said, ¡°Hey, Old Chen, I¡¯m really suffering now. I¡¯m almost depressed!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin: ¡°Let me tell you something. Since the second month Chen Cang came to my place, I haven¡¯t even touched a scalpel during surgery with him! Can you imagine how depressing that is?¡±


    ¡°Every time I operate with him, I¡¯m just assisting. Ah¡­ it¡¯s mentally exhausting.¡±


    Chen Bingsheng gave a cold laugh, ¡°You capitalist still have the nerve to say that. Chen Cang is still working for you!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin¡¯s face turned red: ¡°This is professional pursuit! I have dreams too, okay!¡±


    At this point, Zhang Zhixin smiled, glanced at Chen Cang, and asked, ¡°Am I the main surgeon today?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng: ¡°Sure!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Chen Cang, today Teacher Zhang will show you what advanced surgical skills are! You¡¯ll see what a major operation is!¡±


    Chen Cang also became curious and immediately asked, ¡°What surgery?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin smiled and said, ¡°Pancreaticoduodenectomy. You haven¡¯t seen it, have you?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded; indeed, he hadn¡¯t seen it.


    A complete pancreaticoduodenectomy, this level-four surgery, was something he really hadn¡¯t come into contact with. He was somewhat looking forward to it, but¡­ he ignored Zhang Zhixin¡¯s showy expression.


    ¡­


    While they talked, the two entered the operating room.


    Chen Bingsheng briefed Chen Cang on the patient¡¯s condition.


    This kind of scenario had indeed not occurred for nearly two months. Ever since Li Baoshan made adjustments, Chen Cang rarely operated with Old Chen.


    Upon learning he was the main surgeon, Zhang Zhixin immediately felt overjoyed, elated.


    ¡°Chen Cang, remember to loop, tie, and suction!¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, smug little man.


    At this moment, Zhang Youfu happened to pass by, saw Chen Cang, and was about to walk on when he suddenly stopped and came over.


    ¡°Eh? Chen Cang, you have surgery today!¡±


    When Zhang Zhixin and Chen Bingsheng saw Zhang Youfu, they immediately smiled, ¡°Director.¡±


    Zhang Youfu brightened up when he saw the three of them, ¡°What are you all doing here, what surgery?¡±


    ¡°Pancreaticoduodenectomy,¡± Zhang Zhixin said, referring to a patient with metastatic pancreatic cancer that he was handling.


    Zhang Youfu¡¯s interest was piqued when he heard this, ¡°Oh! Are you talking about patient number 21? I¡¯m quite curious about his case. It so happens I¡¯m free¡­ I¡¯ll be the main surgeon.¡±


    Duan Bo behind him was suddenly stunned¡­ Director, when were you free?


    You said you were going to supervise me today!


    ¡­


    Upon hearing Director Zhang was taking over as the main surgeon, Zhang Zhixin was instantly dumbfounded!


    Seeing this, Chen Bingsheng nearly burst out laughing.


    Looking at Zhang Zhixin¡¯s sour face, Zhang Youfu smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here.¡±


    At this point, Zhang Youfu was determined to show Chen Cang what advanced surgery was all about.


    Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but let out a long sigh inwardly, wrong timing to show off, why is it so hard to be a bit cocky?


    The pancreaticoduodenectomy still has a pretty high degree of difficulty, meant for patients whose cancer cells are still confined to the pancreas, without widespread metastasis.


    The preparatory work before the surgery is very troublesome; such an operation would require at least two senior attending physicians cooperating with each other.


    After injecting vitamin K, the chief of anesthesiology personally administered the anesthesia.


    The surgery was long, and they aimed for steady anesthesia to prevent hypoxia and hypotension from occurring.


    Comrade Zhang Youfu was clearly intent on showing off in front of Chen Cang today, as he wielded the scalpel and made an arc-shaped incision in the upper abdomen!


    He began with an incision at the free end of the right rib, cutting through abdominal wall muscles, ligaments¡­


    When the pancreas and duodenum were exposed, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes widened, and he couldn¡¯t help exclaiming, ¡°Holy shit¡­¡±


    Instantly, the three others looked up, staring at Chen Cang.


    Zhang Youfu thought his technique had awed Chen Cang and allowed himself a discreet, smug smile. That¡¯s more like it!


    Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but sigh. That¡¯s all it takes to surprise you?


    But what Chen Cang was actually marveling at wasn¡¯t that!


    Instead, he had discovered something terrifying.


    That was the fact that he could actually see the extent of the cancer cell invasion!


    Too freaking terrifying, right?


    Thinking about this, Chen Cang felt his breathing becoming a bit rapid.


    He clearly saw the red ¡°pancreas¡± and ¡°pancreatic duct,¡± and on these, there was a patch of red.


    ¡°Pancreatic cancer; lv78, ordinary unspread pancreatic cancer¡­¡±


    Chen Cang noticed a patch of red on the pancreas, some areas were green, which meant¡­ the red areas were where the cancer cells had spread.


    And the green represented the healthy pancreatic tissue!


    This discovery was truly significant for Chen Cang!


    Why say so?


    The difficulty of cancer surgery itself isn¡¯t that high, but what¡¯s the hardest part? It¡¯s the uncertainty of the cancer cell invasion extent. Therefore, surgical operations usually extend beyond the affected area. For instance, in this case of pancreatic cancer, a total removal might not be necessary!


    However, considering the effectiveness of surgery, the basic principle is: better to wrongfully remove a thousand than to leave a single cancer cell behind!


    Thus, cancer patients often deteriorate rapidly post-operation, due to excessive tissue removal.


    But with this discovery, Chen Cang could minimize the surgical area as much as possible, which was incredibly significant for cancer patients!


    How could Chen Cang not be excited at this thought?


    For any cancer patient, this was gospel!


    The surgery continued. Zhang Youfu, as department head, his series of procedures were indeed quite skillful.


    Efficiently separating the mesentery and blood vessels, he dealt with the portal vein.


    Many may not understand what the pancreas does, but everyone should know insulin, right?


    The pancreas, as the gland secreting insulin, plays a crucial role in regulating human blood sugar.


    If the pancreas is removed, postoperative diabetes management becomes very difficult and troublesome.


    After all, it¡¯s not quite so trivial and easy when any human organ is removed!


    Even the appendix is finding more and more rationale for its existence.


    However¡­


    If pancreatic surgery could spare even just twenty percent of the tail section of the pancreas, the management of diabetes during recovery wouldn¡¯t be as difficult as with a total pancreatectomy.


    The difference between the two is vast!


    But Chen Cang, watching, dared not speak!


    He could clearly see that about forty percent of the patient¡¯s pancreatic tissue was not invaded by cancer cells, but the surgery required total removal.


    For fear of cancer cell spread!


    At that moment, Chen Cang felt utterly helpless.


    He wanted to speak, but he knew he couldn¡¯t and that no one would believe him if he did.


    That was the reality!


    It could even bring fatal trouble upon him!


    What to do?


    What could he do?


    Chen Cang felt truly powerless at that moment.


    Perhaps, only when he grew strong enough to perform cancer surgeries himself, could he really make a difference!


    With that in mind, Chen Cang silently watched the surgery proceed.


    A mix of emotions rose in his heart.


    Keep it up!


    Chen Cang!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the operating room, the four remained silent, seriously engaged in the difficult surgery, a monster of more than level seventy. It was Chen Cang¡¯s first encounter with such, and even Zhang Youfu could not afford to be careless!


    At that moment, a putrid stench wafted through the air,


    penetrating the masks and up their nostrils.


    Zhang Youfu¡¯s face suddenly changed!


    The smell was all too familiar.


    With that thought, Zhang Youfu¡¯s frown deepened and his body shuddered involuntarily!


    An intestinal rupture!?


    At that thought, cold sweat broke out on Zhang Youfu¡¯s body.


    If the intestines ruptured at that moment, the difficulty of the surgery would increase by a lot.


    But with his hands full at the moment, Zhang Youfu quickly turned to Chen Bingsheng and said, ¡°Bingsheng, see where it has torn!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng nodded, as he too smelled the foul odor!


    Why would there be intestinal rupture?


    It was baffling!


    If it caused peritoneal infection, it would absolutely raise the difficulty of the operation significantly!


    But then¡­


    Chen Cang looked into the abdominal cavity and became curious.


    Because he didn¡¯t see any red names at all!


    Could it be his eyes were tired?


    This was the first time that his eyes couldn¡¯t identify the problem. Could it be¡­ was the stench blinding him?


    At that thought, Chen Cang quickly blinked his eyes but still didn¡¯t see any problem.


    Now Chen Cang panicked!


    My ability couldn¡¯t have been damaged by the stench, could it?


    Just as Chen Bingsheng was about to investigate,


    Zhang Zhixin suddenly said awkwardly, ¡°No worries, it¡¯s not an intestinal rupture!¡±


    Zhang Youfu immediately looked over, ¡°Oh? Zhixin, what do you mean?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin coughed discreetly and whispered, ¡°Actually¡­ just now, I farted¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Although it¡¯s two updates, it¡¯s actually the content of four. Everyone has been saying I¡¯ve been padding content, so¡­ I can only write a bit more in each chapter. I¡¯ll try to update more content and less chapters from now on, thanks for everyone¡¯s support.


    Lastly¡­ get some rest early.

 Chapter 391 - Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Surgery is a Means, Not an End!

    Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Surgery is a Means, Not an End!


    Old Chen was happy today and insisted on taking Chen Cang out for a good lunch.


    Zhang Zhixin wanted to join, but considering he had a bit of a stomach problem today, Old Chen made a call to an old classmate in the gastroenterology department, booked an appointment, and decided to treat him to some medicine instead.


    Otherwise, there would be no enjoyment in today¡¯s meal at all!


    It could even tarnish the reputation of the entire restaurant, or ruin everyone¡¯s appetite!


    Under Zhang Zhixin¡¯s resentful gaze, the two Chens headed to a decent Hunan cuisine restaurant.


    They initially thought about having a few drinks, but had to work in the afternoon, and Chen Cang also had a night shift, so naturally, that didn¡¯t happen.


    The dishes were sumptuous, and the two sat down to eat and laugh.


    It had been a while since the two sat down for a meal and chatted like this.


    In the past, Chen Cang was always following Old Chen around, just like an attendant.


    ¡°Little Chen, I¡¯m truly grateful to you this time,¡± Old Chen said with a smile, ¡°Come, let¡¯s substitute tea for wine and toast to you.¡±


    Chen Cang quickly smiled, ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Boss. You¡¯ve taught me so much without a word from me. What¡¯s this in comparison?¡±


    Having said that, Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°Besides, you really did participate, after all, all the case studies in the control group were yours.¡±


    With that, the two exchanged a smile.


    Chen Bingsheng smiled and took a sip of tea, looking at Chen Cang and couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°You¡¯ve really grown up, at first, I was a bit uncomfortable with it.¡±


    ¡°I was used to you following me around, and suddenly these past two months, you weren¡¯t there anymore; it took me a while to adjust.¡±


    Chen Cang lowered his head and chuckled without speaking, just as Old Chen had said. At first, Chen Cang was also a bit uncomfortable, but he had been too busy during that time to think much about it. He had always planned to find a time to sit down with Old Chen and have a good meal, have a drink, chat, but there was never a chance.


    Chen Bingsheng laughed, ¡°Now, you¡¯re considered a new generation of talent in our emergency department.¡±


    Chen Cang laughed heartily and bootlicked a bit, ¡°That¡¯s all thanks to your great teaching, Boss.¡±


    Old Chen shook his head, ¡°Iron must be forged of one¡¯s own strength. You have a good talent for learning quickly, whatever you take up. Speaking of which, I do have some regrets that I kept you in the emergency department all this time.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re a natural-born surgeon; I¡¯ve never seen anyone with a talent better than yours. I really should¡¯ve gotten you into surgery earlier, maybe by now you could¡¯ve been handling it on your own.¡±


    ¡°Even now, the surgeries you perform are formidable. You pick up on any procedure quickly, seeming to always grasp the essence. Honestly, I¡¯ve seen your appendectomy and cholecystectomy surgeries too, and they are even better than mine.¡±


    Old Chen had a very high opinion of Chen Cang.


    But then, Chen Bingsheng¡¯s tone shifted abruptly, gazing intently at Chen Cang, he spoke seriously, ¡°But you must not neglect the essence for the trivialities!¡±


    Those words left Chen Cang stunned. What did he mean?


    It was only then that Old Chen looked at Chen Cang, speaking earnestly, ¡°Surgery is a means, not an end. I hope you understand that.¡±


    Chen Cang saw a solid calmness in Old Chen¡¯s eyes and was momentarily taken aback.


    He carefully pondered the words ¡°Surgery is a means, not an end.¡±


    Suddenly, many things Chen Cang hadn¡¯t thought of before surfaced in his mind.


    Old Chen continued, ¡°The goal of medical treatment is to provide healing, and surgery is just one method of treatment. You do surgery well, I admit, that¡¯s your talent, but you must remember, medicine isn¡¯t just about surgeries.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you this to keep you from losing yourself!¡±


    ¡°You are a doctor, not an artisan; you need to do more than just sculpt. You need to assess whether there¡¯s a need for sculpting. As a surgeon, what you need to do isn¡¯t just to perform successful surgeries, but also to make clear diagnoses, distinguish diseases, enrich treatment plans, perfect treatment methods, and provide internal medicine treatments alongside surgery¡­¡±


    ¡°So you must not become arrogant, not get lost just because of a few successful surgeries. The road to medicine is long and profound; there¡¯s so much more you need to learn!¡±


    Old Chen¡¯s words somewhat relieved Chen Cang, and even made him more clear-headed.


    How many surgeries could he perform?


    Merely a dozen or so, but had he really mastered these dozen diseases?


    Their precautions, their treatment plans, and so on¡­


    Indeed, specialization is key, and he needed to perform surgeries well.


    But can you become an outstanding surgeon, or even a qualified chief, if you only know how to perform surgery?


    Where would they let you only perform surgeries?


    Diagnosis, treatment, surgery, recovery¡ªthey¡¯re all indispensable!


    Being skilled in surgery has many advantages, but besides surgery, there¡¯s so much more we can do!


    Take any clinical doctor for example, not to mention others, but Ge Huai, with his clinical knowledge, Chen Cang can¡¯t catch up even if he were horseback riding.


    Of course, this requires a process. Chen Cang also gains a lot of professional knowledge during each surgical skill learning process, but he must not become a mere surgeon; he must strive to be a good doctor.


    From diagnosis to treatment, from surgery to recovery, one has to improve oneself.


    After all, when you become a chief, you¡¯re the last resort for all the patients in your department, the cornerstone for all the doctors in the department, you must perfect yourself.


    So, medicine is a road of no return.


    One must resolve to keep learning as long as one lives!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The meal took two hours. Elder Chen and Chen Cang talked about a lot of things and went over many points to note.


    Chen Cang learned an immense amount.


    Many lessons were not found in books, many were Elder Chen¡¯s life realizations.


    The afternoon was busy with two emergency appendectomy patients arriving. Chen Cang led the surgery, with Wang Yong assisting.


    After the surgeries, they admitted and then saw off an elderly patient with a myocardial infarction. They were busy all afternoon.


    Such cases occur every day in the emergency department.


    It¡¯s hard to speak of any particular feelings about it, given that by the time they were brought in, the situations were already very dangerous.


    Both the families and the doctors were already prepared for this.


    Tonight is Chen Cang¡¯s night shift.


    Chen Cang felt that every night shift was like going into an examination hall, and the changing shifts in the morning was when the scores were announced.


    The condition of the patients is your answer sheet.


    The night shift is the true test of a doctor¡¯s capabilities, where one must face and treat patients independently, requiring great strength in ability.


    Just as Elder Chen said, you¡¯re a doctor, and surgery is just one path. In essence, what you need to learn is how to provide an explanation to patients and even their families.


    When it was past seven in the evening, Chen Cang reheated the leftovers from lunch with the microwave.


    Elder Chen had ordered a lot of heavy dishes, and the two of them couldn¡¯t eat much of it.


    Chen Cang, hating waste, simply packed it all in meal boxes to save for a late-night supper.


    The hospital¡¯s nurse station had two communal microwaves, meant to accommodate patients as well as medical staff.


    This is because in the emergency room, it is common to have to rush to a patient in the middle of a meal, leaving you to abandon your food and tend to the emergency.


    Afterwards, you might find that your meal has gone cold.


    Hence, the microwave became the most popular appliance in the hospital.


    Seeing Chen Cang walk over with his meal containers in the evening, several young nurses from the nurse station quickly gathered around.


    ¡°Wow, I can smell it! Dr. Chen, sharing is caring!¡± Nurse Lele came over grinning with chopsticks at the ready.


    Xiao Yan also took a big sniff, ¡°That¡¯s spicy chopped fish head!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes, ¡°How do you have such a sharp nose?¡±


    There was plenty of food, and Chen Cang wasn¡¯t planning to eat it all by himself. Everyone else didn¡¯t mind either; they were all in it for the fun.¡±

 Chapter 392 - Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Critical Illness Notification

    Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Critical Illness Notification


    Around nine o¡¯clock, at the peak of alertness and busyness in the emergency department,


    they had just finished dealing with the inpatients when they received a call from the emergency service dispatch, advising them to prepare for resuscitation. They were sending over a woman who attempted suicide with sleeping pills.


    Chen Cang¡¯s heart tensed up once again!


    Chen Cang asked urgently, ¡°How long ago?¡±


    The emergency center responded, ¡°At most five hours. The woman¡¯s mother found her already unconscious, and her body was covered in wounds.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang hurriedly arranged for the dialysis room. For patients poisoned by sleeping pills usually found within six to twelve hours of ingestion, it is essential to perform gastric lavage immediately before the drugs are fully absorbed.


    However, for those already in a coma and with anuria, it was critical to prepare for dialysis right away.


    After that, Chen Cang quickly turned to the nurses Lele and Xiao Yan, ¡°There¡¯s a patient who attempted suicide with sleeping pills and is now unconscious and in critical condition. Prepare for gastric lavage.¡±


    Lele went to prepare the items needed for gastric lavage, while Xiao Yan set about preparing the antidotes.


    Both had been working in the emergency department for two to three years and had seen such cases at least ten times before. They handled everything methodically, quickly, and orderly.


    About three minutes later, an ambulance rushed to the emergency department entrance, and the accompanying doctor and driver hastily wheeled in a stretcher, followed by three people who appeared to be family members.


    A woman in her fifties was crying so hard that her eyes were swollen, while a man of a similar age had a tense face, cold as frost, and his eyes filled with anger. Yet, he remained scarily silent, not uttering a single word.


    Compared to them, the young man following the stretcher, who couldn¡¯t have been more than seventeen or eighteen and was dressed in a school uniform, had a face full of anxiety and unease.


    At this moment, Chen Cang could clearly see the patient: she was young, with pale skin, but¡­ possibly an unhealthy, sickly pallor¡ªthe first impression the patient gave him.


    The accompanying doctor then pulled Chen Cang aside to brief him on the patient¡¯s condition.


    ¡°The situation is a bit complicated,¡±


    said the accompanying doctor, a man in his forties, which made Chen Cang pause.


    Chen Cang inquired, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    The doctor explained, ¡°She has multiple wounds all over her body, a significant amount of bruising on the inside of her thigh, several open wounds, and quite a few muscle contusions. She¡¯s anuric, be on the lookout for rhabdomyolysis, and get her tests done quickly, otherwise¡­ there¡¯s going to be trouble.¡±


    After finishing, the middle-aged doctor saw Chen Cang, who appeared quite young, then added, ¡°Be careful with the family¡¯s emotions; the situation¡­ is quite complex!¡±


    Once everything was handed over to the nursing station, the distressed doctor promptly left.


    The middle-aged woman rushed to the hospital and upon seeing Chen Cang, acted as if she¡¯d found a lifeline.


    She ran over and knelt down with a thump, tears streaming down her face!


    ¡°Please, I¡¯m begging you, doctor, save my girl, she¡¯s only 26!¡±


    ¡°I implore you, you must save her, she¡¯s still young!¡±


    Chen Cang had no time to comfort the relatives. He quickly ordered Nurse Lele, ¡°Take her to the resuscitation room, monitor vitals, draw blood for emergency tests¡­¡±


    After giving instructions, Chen Cang turned to the middle-aged man, ¡°Please take care of them; we need to begin resuscitation.¡±


    The man nodded, ¡°Yes, we appreciate your help, Doctor.¡±


    While the man was speaking, Chen Cang noticed the redness around his teeth, likely from biting his gums until they bled. His eyes were also bloodshot, and it seemed as though a deep anger simmered within him, an anger he was forcefully keeping at bay with his rationality.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel a twitch in his eyelid.


    That¡¯s when the young man spun around and ran out, shouting, ¡°Damn it, I¡¯m going to kill you! If something happens to my sister because of what you did to her, I¡¯ll murder your whole family!¡±


    Seeing his reaction, the middle-aged man thundered, ¡°Stop right there!¡±


    The young man halted abruptly and turned, screaming, ¡°The one on that bed is my sister!¡±


    Hearing this, the older man beat his chest in anguished protest, ¡°That¡¯s my daughter!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the resuscitation room.


    ¡°Pupils dilated!¡±


    ¡°No reaction to light!¡±


    ¡°Absent reflexes!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Blood pressure 60/30 mmHg! And it¡¯s still dropping!¡±


    ¡°Heart rate is speeding up! 120 beats per minute!¡±


    At this moment, the results of the emergency blood tests also came back!


    When Chen Cang saw the creatine kinase levels, he was stunned for a moment, one hundred and ten thousand!


    That¡¯s too high!


    With creatine kinase levels in the hundreds of thousands, blood dialysis preparations must be made as soon as possible.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang hurriedly called the dialysis room to prepare the items needed for blood dialysis.


    While examining the girl, Chen Cang pried open her mouth.


    But at the moment her mouth opened!


    A strong medicinal smell wafted out, and Chen Cang¡¯s heart sank. How many had she taken?


    At least thirty to fifty pills.


    The scent of sleeping pills hit him hard; Chen Cang had seen many medication-induced suicide attempts, but¡­ most were feigned attempts, taking ten or so pills just to scare people.


    But to take thirty to fifty pills in one go, she truly was determined to end her life!


    How could a girl in her mid-twenties be so resolute in such a grim resolve?


    The patient¡¯s condition suddenly turned critical.


    On top of that, the multiple contusions on her body had caused rhabdomyolysis, which could easily lead to acute renal failure and hyperkalemia.


    And at this time, the patient¡¯s condition was very unstable.


    Her blood pressure continued to drop, with systolic around 60 and diastolic approaching 30!


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed, and he immediately administered a dopamine push, pumping in 210 milligrams of dopamine, causing the blood pressure to slowly rise again, and the heart rate began to decrease, reaching about 100 beats per minute.


    The entire resuscitation room was filled with a tense atmosphere!


    Lele was performing gastric lavage, and Xiao Yan was assisting.


    But still¡­


    Despite such efforts, Chen Cang still couldn¡¯t guarantee that the patient would pull through.


    Because, the sheer amount of sleeping pill poisoning was already dangerous enough to threaten life.


    Now add to that the rhabdomyolysis and hyperkalemia¡­


    So many symptoms!


    Combined together!


    There was only one conclusion: the patient¡­ was in critical condition.


    The most critical issue was that the patient¡¯s will to live seemed not very strong.


    Sometimes, emergency departments really see everything.


    The will to live is indeed a real thing.


    Perhaps it cannot be detected by modern instruments.


    But¡­


    Chen Cang had really seen such people in the emergency department.


    Like that man impaled by a steel rod; if it were most people, the likelihood of death would be high.


    But that strong man toughed it out.


    Maybe his will was filled with his entire family!


    Maybe his determination was tougher than steel.


    But with those intending suicide, it¡¯s hard to say.


    They say medicine doctors do not deal with death, and Buddha saves those who have fate with him.


    In fact, another interpretation of ¡°medicine doctors do not deal with death¡± is that they can treat those who do not wish to die; for someone resolute on dying, no medicine can cure them!


    Many who seemed beyond saving have been pulled through by this so-called will to live.


    Chen Cang walked out with the critical condition notice, asking the family to sign the informed consent.


    The woman curled up in a corner, weeping; the young boy shook with rage, typing something on his mobile phone; only the middle-aged man stood there, silent. Since smoking wasn¡¯t allowed in the emergency room, he had a cigarette butt in his mouth that was chewed up, blood running down the butt, staining the cigarette red.


    Chen Cang looked at the man. ¡°Hello, this is¡­ the critical condition notice. Let me explain the situation to you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man was momentarily stunned, almost losing his balance!

 Chapter 394 - Chapter 394: Chapter 394: The Right Path in the World Is Full of Hardships

    Chapter 394: Chapter 394: The Right Path in the World Is Full of Hardships


    After Chen Cang took out the notebook,


    everyone present was momentarily stunned.


    The two police officers hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.


    As soon as they opened it and saw the words ¡°Last Will,¡± their hearts suddenly tightened!


    This¡­ this was too important.


    While the female¡¯s family watched the police, the middle-aged man was at first bewildered for a while, then, with wide-eyed eagerness, he said, ¡°Can¡­ can I take a look?¡±


    The two police officers glanced at each other and handed over the notebook, ¡°Yes, don¡¯t damage it, this is¡­ directly related to your daughter.¡±


    The man nodded, quickly raised his hands, and shakily took it.


    ¡°Good! Good! Good!¡±


    The family of three took the notebook and immediately lowered their heads to look at it together.


    Yet¡­


    Chen Cang knew that to the police, the notebook was just evidence.


    To him, it was just an insignificant thing.


    But for this family, it might¡­ be a punishment as excruciating as death by a thousand cuts!


    Indeed, the man held the notebook with both hands, carefully reading every single sentence, each one slicing through his heart like knives!


    Every sentence was like a needle piercing the palm of his hand!


    It hurt!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang sighed helplessly but had no mind to look after them, as there were still many important matters to handle.


    Lele and Xiao Yan, watching the woman, felt a chill of fear!


    After ICU Doctor Zheng Yongjun arrived, Chen Cang began to report on the situation, and upon seeing it, Zheng, in his early forties, suddenly changed his complexion, unable to help but curse, ¡°Beast!¡±


    This was a girl, who could inflict such ruthless harm!


    Aside from her face and arms, beneath every piece of clothing seemed to be another wound.


    Under the monitor, vital signs were constantly changing, this night was surely to be sleepless.


    The rescue could not stop!


    Blood dialysis had just finished, with a rush to check creatine kinase levels immediately afterward.


    Using this opportunity, Zheng Yongjun also transferred the patient to the intensive care unit, where all equipment was ready.


    This night, for that family, was like a nightmare!


    For Chen Cang, it was also unprecedented.


    Chen Cang had seen and dealt with rhabdomyolysis before,


    as well as suicide by sleeping pill overdose.


    But¡­


    Domestic violence!


    Such severe domestic violence was a first for Chen Cang.


    Every time he recalled the horrifying text recorded in his notebook and imagined the unforgivable scenes, Chen Cang felt that the criminals should receive the punishment they deserved.


    But he was not the judge; he was just a doctor,


    a doctor who must give his all to save even the criminals lying on the operating table.


    At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly felt that the toughest part of being a doctor was perhaps not just the technique,


    but to witness the vicissitudes of life without acting on personal feelings.


    It was a kind of helplessness.


    Perhaps¡­


    If heaven has feelings, even heaven would grow old.


    The proper way of the world is an ever-changing landscape.


    At this moment, Chen Cang seemed to understand this phrase a bit more profoundly.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang stayed in the intensive care unit until about 5 a.m.


    During that time, the girl¡¯s heart stopped once, but fortunately, she was resuscitated in time and brought back.


    As Chen Cang looked at the monitoring curves jumping on the screen, it seemed as if they represented the girl¡¯s fragile soul.


    Chen Cang felt that, at this very moment, the girl lying on the bed, who was even younger than him, was like a rabbit with its soul trapped, constantly enduring torture. She was avoiding it, and so¡­ she still had not woken up.


    After receiving the emergency call, Chen Cang bid farewell to Zheng Yongjun and returned to the emergency department.


    At this time, new patients arrived at the emergency room.


    Chen Cang began his busy work once again.


    He was especially afraid of having idle time that night.


    Because every time he had a moment to himself, he couldn¡¯t help but think about the incident.


    The girl¡¯s relatives were still anxiously waiting in the hall. A middle-aged man, in a state of collapse, leaned against the wall. His legs too weak to support him, he slid down to a crouch on the floor, then just sat down, spreading his legs and resting his head against the cold wall.


    His eyes displayed unwavering resolve, perhaps he had made up his mind: He would not give up without a fight to the death!


    A seventeen-year-old boy, crying like a three-year-old, wailed as he clutched his head and tore at his hair, while the woman was silent and at a loss.


    One police officer had left, while another kept an eye on the youngster, fearing he might do something impulsive.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At nine o¡¯clock in the morning, the head of the emergency department, Li Baoshan, officially organized a major consultation to discuss the girl¡¯s rescue situation.


    The neurology specialist suggested performing a magnetic resonance imaging and dynamic electroencephalogram first to see if there were any neurological diseases, because such a possibility really could not be ruled out.


    After examining the morning¡¯s creatine kinase levels, the head of the nephrology department said that renal failure was unlikely, and the situation was not very dangerous at the moment. As for rhabdomyolysis¡­ it was also not fatal, likely due to timely blood filtration.


    ¡­


    After everyone had expressed their opinions, the girl once again began the relevant tests.


    But!


    A surprising event happened once again.


    The brain MRI showed transient cerebral ischemic attack, which could cause some irreversible brain damage, and the dynamic EEG displayed abnormal spike-and-wave complexes and¡­ strange waveforms.


    This was very strange.


    Upon seeing this, Professor Du, the head of neurology, was momentarily stunned, then slowly said,


    ¡°This¡­ will depend on the patient herself.¡±


    The moment he spoke, everyone around turned to look at Professor Du.


    It was then that Professor Du, nearing sixty, slowly said, ¡°I¡¯ve seen this kind of waveform before. Just listen, don¡¯t take it too seriously, because what I¡¯m about to say may not have statistical significance, nor can it be found in the evidence of evidence-based medicine. It¡¯s merely an individual medical case.¡±


    The crowd nodded in understanding; this was the so-called experiential medicine.


    Professor Du continued, ¡°Currently, the brain damage is in the frontal lobe, likely causing emotional damage. If she wakes up, her personality might change a bit, or she might even become psychotic!¡±


    ¡°However¡­ it may also lead to some memory confusion, that is¡­ amnesia.¡±


    ¡°But, whether she can wake up or not will depend on herself. Moreover, this waveform on the EEG can actually show that the brain¡¯s electrical functions are alright, and this abnormal waveform can be interpreted as a form of self-preservation!¡±


    ¡°In plain terms, a person might lack the will to survive, but¡­ an organism has that will. Seeing this waveform now, it indicates that the girl¡¯s body is struggling, wanting to wake up.¡±


    After speaking, everyone fell into a slight silence.


    Professor Du finally said, ¡°Just wait. She may wake up, or she may not. It¡¯s up to her now.¡±


    With that one statement, all hope was placed in the girl herself.


    Perhaps she did not wish to wake up.


    Or perhaps, she was willing to wake up with a new face.

 Chapter 395 - Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Everything Will Be Alright!

    Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Everything Will Be Alright!


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t come off the night shift.


    His face looked haggard.


    He wasn¡¯t in a good mood.


    After handing over his duties and discussing the situation, Chen Cang prepared to get up and go to the ICU to check on the patients.


    But he was pulled back by Qin Yue.


    Chen Cang turned around, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Seeing Chen Cang like this, Qin Yue sighed, ¡°Go to the duty room and get some sleep. I bought you breakfast; eat and rest for a while. I¡¯ll call you if anything happens.¡±


    Chen Cang saw the concern on Qin Yue¡¯s face and smiled slightly, ¡°Alright. I¡¯m fine; I just wanted to see how things were going.¡±


    Only then did Qin Yue smile reassuringly, ¡°Okay, take a break first.¡±


    In truth, it was ultimately because he was too young, too easily influenced by his own emotions.


    But sometimes, this really has nothing to do with being young.


    Actually¡­ Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand either.


    After sleeping until noon and tidying up, Qin Yue brought him a thermal lunch box, a bowl of light noodles that looked appetizing.


    All of a sudden, he felt happiness could be so simple.


    Qin Yue sat next to Chen Cang warmly.


    ¡°Eat.¡±


    Chen Cang hummed in response.


    To be honest, Qin Yue was more shocked than Chen Cang when she saw that girl.


    After all, as a girl herself, it was easier to empathize.


    It was a case of feeling someone else¡¯s pain as if it were your own.


    While eating, Chen Cang¡¯s phone suddenly rang.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, the patient woke up!¡±


    The call was from an ICU nurse who informed Chen Cang immediately after the patient regained consciousness.


    Chen Cang quickly put down his chopsticks, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there.¡±


    After hanging up, Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue with some excitement, ¡°She¡¯s awake!¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s eyes also lit up, ¡°Let¡¯s go, have a look.¡±


    It was already noon by then, and everyone had gone off duty except for the on-call doctors.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue hurried to the ICU ward, and upon entering, they found the woman lying there.


    On the monitor, many of the readings were normal.


    The woman also looked curiously at Chen Cang and Qin Yue.


    ¡°Hello¡­ who are you?¡± the woman¡¯s voice was soft and weak.


    Chen Cang spoke calmly, ¡°I am Chen Cang, an emergency department physician at the Second Provincial Hospital.¡±


    The woman rubbed her head, ¡°How did I get injured like this? Why don¡¯t I remember anything?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, was this¡­ amnesia?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    The woman sighed, ¡°My name is He Yali.¡±


    Chen Cang paused slightly, his expression brightened, she could remember!


    ¡°Do you know how you got injured?¡±


    The woman couldn¡¯t help wanting to think, but quickly shook her head, ¡°I don¡¯t know, I feel like I¡¯ve forgotten a lot of things.¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly took a deep breath and asked her a flurry of questions.


    He discovered that the girl¡¯s intelligence, educational background, and long-term memory had no issues. The only thing she might have forgotten was about ¡°him,¡± written in that notebook.


    Amnesia, and it was selective amnesia!


    Chen Cang really couldn¡¯t make a judgment when it happened to someone else!


    But¡­


    For her, perhaps it was the most appropriate choice and explanation?


    What is selective amnesia?


    Selective amnesia occurs when a person undergoes strong emotional trauma or their brain receives trauma and irreversible damage, leading them to forget certain events, people, or objects they wish not to remember or are trying to avoid.


    Moreover, selective amnesia is currently being systematically researched both domestically and internationally, with the hope that it can be applied clinically in the future.


    But Chen Cang couldn¡¯t be sure, and he hurriedly contacted Professor Du from neurology and Li Baoshan from the emergency department.


    Professor Du was having a meal at home when she received the call. She immediately put down her utensils and told her husband, ¡°Clean up a bit, I have to go to the hospital.¡±


    The group gathered in the ICU and assessed the girl¡¯s condition.


    Subsequent tests were performed.


    Afterward, Professor Du confirmed, ¡°It should be selective forgetting syndrome.¡±


    Then, turning around, Professor Du added, ¡°But maybe it¡¯s not such a bad thing. Contact the family in time.¡±


    Indeed!


    ¡°`


    For the girl, perhaps forgetting the past was the best choice.


    Any kind of physical trauma can be healed, but the only scar that cannot be smoothed out is the one on the heart.


    Now, it¡¯s all better.


    The scar in her heart had either healed or been forgotten. Maybe for her, at twenty-six, she should focus on recovering her health and start another chapter in her life.


    This should be the best choice.


    However, this would require communication with family members and even possibly involve the police.


    Chen Cang turned around, looked at the girl, and smiled, ¡°Take a good rest. Relatives are not allowed to visit in the ICU, so once you¡¯re stable, we¡¯ll make arrangements.¡±


    The woman smiled, ¡°Thank you, doctor, but¡­ could you give me a painkiller injection? It hurts so much. How come I have so many injuries, was I in a car accident?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Li Baoshan led Chen Cang and others back to the emergency department to begin contacting the family.


    The family, who hadn¡¯t rested all night, had just returned home and laid down when they heard the news that their daughter had woken up.


    They immediately hurried to the hospital.


    After the middle-aged man came in, Li Baoshan said,


    ¡°She has amnesia.¡±


    That single sentence stunned the family.


    Li Baoshan continued to explain, ¡°But don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s selective amnesia. She has a clear memory of you all, but¡­ she has forgotten her husband and those incidents.¡±


    ¡°She even forgot the reason she was injured¡­ and so on.¡±


    The revelation left the three family members both shocked and overjoyed.


    It wasn¡¯t a bad thing!


    Everyone was clear about that.


    The man couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Then¡­ how¡¯s my daughter¡¯s health?¡±


    After some thought, Li Baoshan said, ¡°At the moment, she¡¯s out of danger, but with rhabdomyolysis and the bruises on her body, she will need a rather lengthy treatment process. However, it¡¯s not very dangerous anymore.¡±


    The man¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing this.


    At this time, the police also arrived. After coming in and looking at Chen Cang, one officer said, ¡°Thank you for your assistance, comrade. We have now filed the case, and your notes and the disability assessment have been of great help to us. The higher-ups are placing great importance on this incident and will handle it rigorously!¡±


    Afterwards, Chen Cang briefed the police on the medical condition again.


    The woman¡¯s family began to communicate and negotiate with the police.


    They hoped that the woman would not have to appear in court to avoid secondary trauma caused by these events.


    However, the police officer couldn¡¯t decide on his own.


    He could only go back and discuss it with his superiors.


    At three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the man¡¯s family came in and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, we want to transfer to another hospital.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Transfer? To where?¡±


    The man sighed and managed a grateful smile, ¡°Thank heavens for giving Lily such a good outcome. We don¡¯t want her staying in this city. We¡¯re taking her down south to a place where no one knows us to start over.¡±


    After saying that, the man sat down firmly, ¡°I¡¯ll let my wife and child go with our daughter. I¡¯m not leaving. I will stay and get justice for my girl!¡±


    ¡°Her injuries, her blood, shall not be in vain!¡±


    ¡°I will see to it with my own eyes that the beast is punished by the law!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The man said a lot, and Chen Cang nodded.


    After Li Baoshan arrived and thought it over, he also agreed to their request. After signing a bunch of informed consent forms, he allowed the discharge.


    Later on,


    It was a month later when, during a follow-up for the illness, Chen Cang learned that the family had moved to Chongqing. From the photos they sent back, one could see the girl smiling very happily.


    Watching the news, Chen Cang also saw that the criminal suspect, Mr. Sun, was sentenced. It was just that¡­ during his imprisonment, he developed a mental illness, and what happened after that remained unknown.


    It wasn¡¯t until many years later, when the woman returned bringing along a boy who resembled her greatly.


    By this time, Chen Cang was no longer at the Second Provincial Hospital; Wang Yong received her.


    By then, Wang Yong had become the deputy director of the emergency department.


    Using Wang Yong¡¯s phone, the woman called Chen Cang to say thank you. Her memory had recovered, but she had also moved on.


    She had a happy family, a loving husband, and a cute son¡­


    After receiving the news, Chen Cang smiled.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: May they be happy.


    Thank you for your support and also thanks to all the readers for your reminders. Please don¡¯t stir up trouble anymore, thank you. I finished writing at 12 last night and didn¡¯t sleep until 3 because I kept receiving messages from friends telling me not to write nonsense. Thank you all, I have made revisions, there is no overstepping, and it will not happen.


    The book is both a carrier and a medium, and I hope to write about the life I want to see.


    Lastly, I hope everyone supports the author and supports Chen Cang.

 Chapter 396 - Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Daily Special Task Triggered!

    Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Daily Special Task Triggered!


    On Saturday morning, today at ¡°Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital,¡± surgeries had already been scheduled; five young girls were slated for transformations into mature beauties. For this reason, Chen Cang had arrived at the hospital early.


    In the past two months, Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital hadn¡¯t changed much in terms of hardware facilities, but its core had shifted somewhat.


    Now, ¡°Let Teacher Chen Make You Beautiful¡± had become the leading slogan of Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital¡¯s promotion, and Chen Cang, a million-dollar surgeon, had gained some fame in certain circles.


    In the small world of plastic surgery in Anyang City, Chen Cang¡¯s rapid rise had quickly garnered the attention of many.


    ¡°Good morning, Dr. Chen!¡±


    ¡°Good morning, Dr. Chen!¡±


    ¡°Dr. Chen, your breakfast.¡±


    ¡­


    As soon as Chen Cang entered the plastic surgery hospital, a group of pretty nurses and front desk attendants stood up and bowed, unabashedly exuding youthful hormones.


    Chen Cang smiled at everyone and greeted them with a good morning.


    The current Chen Cang was a far cry from his past self; he was now the star of Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital.


    Xu Rou could never have imagined that Chen Cang, who just a few months ago was still green and unassuming, easily blushing with shyness, could have grown to this extent.


    Seeing Chen Cang come in, Xu Rou handed over his white coat: ¡°Dr. Chen, your white coat, it¡¯s been cleaned for you.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    [Ding! Xu Rou¡¯s favorability rating +5!]


    When Chen Cang heard the system notification, he couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Life was just that pragmatic.


    When you were just a minor character, the system would determine: not in the same league.


    But once you grew into a significant figure, the weight of your every word and action would increase substantially.


    [Xu Rou, favorability rating: 40; a woman with a wild heart, a steady personality, and a strong sense of professionalism; worships the strong, Note: Now looks up to you considerably.]


    A few months of change led to this day, where a simple thank you from himself could increase favorability.


    However, it¡¯s not to say anything in particular about Xu Rou.


    In fact, Chen Cang had come to understand a principle:


    When you and another person are on the same level, on the same layer, then the interactions between you are equal.


    But if you want to interact with someone who is on a whole different level than you, the process can be very difficult.


    Xu Rou smiled: ¡°Dr. Chen, the patients who booked appointments have all arrived yesterday, and we¡¯ve completed all the pre-surgery preparations; everything¡¯s normal, and we¡¯re ready for surgery at any time today.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and replied with a smile, ¡°Thank you, Manager Xu.¡±


    Xu Rou¡¯s smile grew even wider: ¡°Doctor Chen, the clients from the last surgery are extremely satisfied and have already brought us many new potential clients; this is all your doing.¡±


    At this point, looking at the young man before her, Xu Rou felt a bit sentimental, wondering how she had failed to recognize it before.


    ¡°Dr. Chen, you truly are amazing, truly accomplished at such a young age,¡± Xu Rou said as she accompanied Chen Cang to his office, smiling.


    Chen Cang chuckled: ¡°Manager Xu, you really are too kind.¡±


    Suddenly Xu Rou asked, ¡°Dr. Chen, do you have a girlfriend yet?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment but then smiled: ¡°Yes, she¡¯s a colleague of mine; I¡¯ll introduce you to her someday.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xu Rou let out a sigh. Indeed, how could such an outstanding person not have a girlfriend?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Just as he settled into his office, the system notification sounded.


    [Ding! Today¡¯s task, complete 5 breast augmentation surgeries, and receive a master-level plastic surgery skill: SMAS Facelift!]


    Chen Cang¡¯s face immediately lit up with joy!


    He knew the special daily task had finally arrived.


    He had been waiting for this for the entire month.


    And it was SMAS Facelift.


    Hearing this, Chen Cang felt elated, unimaginably pleased with himself.


    The SMAS Facelift was one of the most popular facelift surgeries in recent years, also an operation that tested a plastic surgeon¡¯s skills on the international stage.


    This procedure provided a powerful anti-wrinkle effect that could last 5 to 10 years and had almost no side effects, increasingly accepted by more and more people.


    It was a testament to a plastic surgeon¡¯s skills!


    Five breast surgeries lined up¡ªtoday was just enough!


    Feeling great.


    With the help of the head nurse, the surgeries had been reasonably scheduled, and Chen Cang checked the time, ready to start working.


    However, where was Teacher Zhang?


    Chen Cang was about to pick up his phone to give a quick call when suddenly, a call came in.


    Seeing it was Zhang Zhixin, and even with a tone of hurry, Chen Cang answered.


    ¡°Little Chen, I¡¯ve got something to tell you!¡±


    Chen Cang paused, hearing Zhang Zhixin¡¯s urgency; he was curious and asked, ¡°What is it?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin went straight to the point, ¡°Someone wants to watch your surgery!¡±


    Chen Cang was instantly taken aback¡ªwho wants to watch my surgery?


    Who could it be?


    And why? A flurry of questions flooded his mind before he could ask, Zhang Zhixin continued, ¡°It¡¯s the vice-chairman of the Chinese Society of Plastic Surgeons. I reckon they¡¯ve heard about your million-yuan Long Bear surgery from An Jing and get a look. I suspect¡­ they¡¯re quite likely nitpicking.¡±


    ¡°So, the reason I¡¯m calling you is to suggest postponing your upcoming surgeries if possible. Let¡¯s not give Vice-Chairman Gong any reason to cause trouble!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m with her now, I¡¯m taking her to the hospital for a tour; we¡¯ll be arriving soon. That¡¯s it; I¡¯m just giving you a heads up while I have a moment to myself in the restroom. Damn, I found out abruptly as well. Anyway, that¡¯s that.¡±


    Having said that, Zhang Zhixin hung up with a click.


    Leaving Chen Cang somewhat dazed in place.


    This¡­ damn it, the system was never going to give me an easy task that seemed like free points.


    And the reward was so substantial!


    According to the system¡¯s usual pattern, the greater the reward, the higher the difficulty of the task.


    But!


    Chen Cang had been eagerly awaiting the SMAS facelift surgery and was determined to get it!


    So, even if it was a bit more challenging, he had to succeed.


    It was just about watching a surgery, right?


    So let them watch!


    I¡¯m a licensed practitioner, holding a medical license to boot¡ªI¡¯ve got both, so what¡¯s there to fear?


    Nowadays, doctors often have multiple practice locations. I¡¯m registered here with a medical license¡ªthere¡¯s no reason I can¡¯t perform surgery!


    You want to watch, don¡¯t you?


    Then watch.


    It¡¯s just that¡­ I must remain calm and not let myself get overwhelmed.


    At this moment, the head nurse seemed to have gotten news from Zhang Zhixin and looked at Chen Cang anxiously, ¡°Doctor Chen, Director Zhang wants to cancel the surgeries.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°It¡¯s fine, proceed with the preparations for the surgery as originally planned.¡±


    The head nurse didn¡¯t want to cancel either, as everything had already been arranged and the pre-surgical preparations had been made after a long and busy period. But¡­ if Director Zhang said to cancel, then it must be done.


    After all, it involved Doctor Chen¡¯s affairs.


    The head nurse was forty-six, poached from a public hospital by Zhang Zhixin, and highly competent.


    Don¡¯t underestimate a plastic surgery hospital¡ªa plastic surgery hospital¡¯s staffing requirements are very high, even higher than those of public hospitals, with a significant medical-staff-to-patient ratio.


    While the two were chatting, Xu Rou came up.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, Director Zhang is here with someone. Do you want to go down and take a look?¡±


    Chen Cang was suddenly taken aback.


    That fast?


    In fact, if not for Zhang Zhixin, who had also received the news suddenly and hadn¡¯t been prepared when he learned the other party wanted to see Chen Cang perform surgery.


    Zhang Zhixin wondered if it could be delayed.


    But¡­


    The other party seemed intent on coming to see for themselves.


    ¡­


    ¡­

 Chapter 397 - Chapter 397: Chapter 397: A Misunderstanding!

    Chapter 397: Chapter 397: A Misunderstanding!


    Zhang Zhixin, Qin Xiang, and Yang Tao were all members of the provincial association of plastic surgeons, with Qin Xiang serving as the chairman and Yang Tao as the vice-chairman¡ªtheir importance in the circle was quite significant.


    However, at this moment, all three were clustering around the woman in her fifties.


    The woman was slender, with makeup on her face that obscured her age, dressed in a cheongsam that suited her well, and she appeared amiable.


    Gong Daizhen smiled and said to Qin Xiang, Zhang Zhixin, and the others, ¡°The development of plastic surgery in An Yang is really good. Director Zhang, your plastic surgery hospital looks quite impressive.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin also smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s also because of the investment from the owner, I¡¯m just a director.¡±


    Gong Daizhen made a humming sound and walked inside. After surveying the first floor¡¯s configuration and decoration, she immediately smiled, ¡°Hmm, a lot of effort has been put into it, giving people the feeling of luxury and reliability on sight.¡±


    Luxury and reliability might seem incongruous when put together.


    But in the world of plastic surgery, they were indeed very appropriate.


    There was indeed a connection between luxury and reliability.


    Looking thoughtful, Gong Daizhen joked with Zhang Zhixin, ¡°Director Zhang, I¡¯ve heard that Chen Cang has a surgery scheduled for today. I¡¯ve come a long way just to see the operation; you won¡¯t refuse me, will you?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin gave a sheepish smile, ¡°Refuse? Impossible! But¡­ today, due to special circumstances, the surgery has been postponed, and I am about to call Chen to come down.¡±


    As he was reaching for the phone to make a call,


    The elevator opened, and Chen Cang and Xu Rou walked over towards them in an open and straightforward manner.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, Gong Daizhen couldn¡¯t help but size him up. The young man really was young and looked clean and capable, exuding a sense of reliability. Was this the young man in question?


    At this moment, Gong Daizhen became curious.


    Seeing this, Qin Xiang quickly approached, ¡°Xiao Chen, let me introduce you. This is our national vice president of the association of plastic surgeons, President Gong.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and said evenly, without modesty or arrogance, ¡°President Gong, hello, I¡¯ve long admired you.¡±


    Gong Daizhen gave a slight smile, ¡°Dr. Chen Cang, I¡¯ve been looking forward to meeting you and specially came here for an exchange of knowledge.¡±


    ¡°I was fortunate to see one of your patients after their Long Bear procedure, and to be honest, I was quite stunned. I¡¯ve wanted to exchange ideas with you for a long time, I just haven¡¯t had the time. As it happens, it¡¯s the weekend, so I made a special trip from the capital.


    In our line of work, it¡¯s really the young people¡¯s world. Even an old woman like me comes here to exchange knowledge and improve together!¡±


    Gong Daizhen, in her late fifties, had just had a birthday recently, and a group of her students had gone to congratulate her.


    A group of people from the plastic surgery field had gathered and naturally talked about industry matters¡ªin the midst of the conversation, they mentioned how a young doctor in An Yang charged a million for a breast augmentation procedure, which took Gong Daizhen by surprise.


    To command such a price with the general public, one must have some real skills.


    Of course, it could also just be hype.


    However, as gossip for leisurely chats, this sort of news is something Gong Daizhen, a seasoned industry veteran, wouldn¡¯t take much interest in.


    And she certainly didn¡¯t need to come to check it out in person!


    But just a few days later, she heard Chen Cang¡¯s name again, and even saw one of his surgical successes. Upon seeing it, Gong Daizhen became very interested in Chen Cang!


    Because this patient had sought her out a few months earlier, but due to the high difficulty, she had asked the patient to think it over.


    The special nature of the case left an impression on Gong Daizhen, but she did not expect such a comparison so soon, which genuinely surprised her. It was truly stunning!


    The significance behind Gong Daizhen feeling stunned was worth pondering.


    At that moment, Gong Daizhen felt that the million was indeed well spent!


    It was then that Gong Daizhen suddenly had the desire to see Chen Cang¡¯s surgery.


    ¡­


    As for the nitpicking Zhang Zhixin talked about, Gong Daizhen knew nothing¡ªhad she known, she¡¯d probably look innocent? After all, as an old industry leader, Gong Daizhen had no need to scrutinize or nitpick Chen Cang¡¯s work. Besides, how much Chen Cang charged had nothing to do with her.


    Furthermore, nitpicking at a junior would only tarnish her own reputation, making her the subject of mockery for disrespecting her age.


    Gong Daizhen was genuinely interested in Chen Cang!


    Of course, Zhang Zhixin¡¯s misunderstanding arose because one of Gong Daizhen¡¯s students was An Jing,


    one of the chief surgeons at Annie¡¯s plastic surgery institution.


    It is true what they say, professionals can be the harshest critics.


    And as the head of the hospital, Zhang Zhixin had many concerns and was accustomed to taking precautions against potential problems, fearing that this was some kind of plot.


    He was especially protective of Chen Cang, afraid that people might nitpick and find fault in him, which would not be good for Chen Cang¡¯s development.


    That¡¯s why he was so cautious!


    But that¡¯s how misunderstandings arise.


    Thus, Chen Cang perceived the elderly lady as a feigned enemy.


    However, Chen Cang heard Gong Daizhen speak politely, and her behavior was courteous¡ªnothing like someone who was there to find fault.


    After all, the ¡°old lady¡± seemed quite amiable and didn¡¯t make things difficult when speaking.


    Chen Cang shook his head. Why overthink it? Wasn¡¯t it just a matter of performing a few surgeries?


    With that thought, he suddenly smiled and said, ¡°President Gong¡¯s visit is quite timely, as there are precisely five surgeries scheduled for today. You¡¯ll be able to watch to your heart¡¯s content.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin kept giving Chen Cang meaningful glances, while Qin Xiang and Yang Tao were also very curious. Could it be¡­ that President Gong was genuinely here to exchange knowledge and specifically to watch Chen Cang¡¯s surgery?


    Could Chen Cang¡¯s Long Bear surgeries be that outstanding?


    The two of them knew that Chen Cang was talented in design, but they had never actually witnessed his Long Bear surgeries.


    After all, other patients wouldn¡¯t just casually let them observe!


    So they were curious too, and today seemed like the perfect opportunity to witness Chen Cang perform surgery¡ªindeed, it was a good choice.


    Chen Cang gave Zhang Zhixin a look, signaling that there was no issue.


    He asked Xu Rou to entertain the three guests and let them rest a while, as he made arrangements for the surgery.


    Then he entered the office with Zhang Zhixin.


    As soon as they entered, Zhang Zhixin glared at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, have you lost your mind?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°What¡¯s got you so nervous? Don¡¯t you trust me?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin frowned, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you, but¡­ it feels like she¡¯s here to nitpick!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm, then we¡¯ll just have to make sure she doesn¡¯t find any faults. Won¡¯t it be fine if we convince President Gong wholeheartedly?¡±


    At this point, Chen Cang began to see it as an opportunity¡ªgetting the approval of President Gong could elevate his status within the industry all the faster.


    After all, in the domestic plastic surgery association, public hospitals with dermatology and plastic surgery departments held the highest esteem. Private hospitals might make money, but their standing in the industry and prestige within circles were limited.


    This was the reason why Yang Tao was a vice-chairman while Zhang Zhixin was merely a member.


    To pursue a high-end path, one still needed the official route.


    And now, here was the chance.


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Zhang Zhixin was momentarily stunned. Not let her find faults? Convince President Gong wholeheartedly?


    How bold of heart one had to be to utter such words!


    But then, seeing Chen Cang¡¯s serene expression, not showing the slightest hint of panic, Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but shake his head¡ªthis guy, really¡­


    Well!


    Let it be!


    Let it be!


    Resigned to the situation, Zhang Zhixin said to the head nurse, ¡°Head nurse, prepare for the surgery.¡±


    The head nurse nodded and stood up to begin preparations.


    Zhang Zhixin looked at Chen Cang, at a loss for words, and after a long pause, could only pat Chen Cang¡¯s arm, ¡°Good luck!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded!

 Chapter 398 - Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Are You Sure Youre... Nitpicking?

    Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Are You Sure You¡¯re¡­ Nitpicking?


    In the operating room, before the surgery, Chen Cang needed to design for the customer once again.


    Although a design had already been made in advance, Chen Cang still needed to make preparations before the surgery.


    Behind Chen Cang stood four big shots, no, that¡¯s not right, three big shots plus one Zhang Zhixin.


    Zhang Zhixin stood there, feeling apprehensive and a bit nervous.


    On the other hand, looking at Chen Cang, he was calm and collected, with every stroke deliberate, seeming not nervous in the least.


    At this, Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but mock himself, feeling utterly useless!


    He was no match for Chen Cang!


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were constantly thinking about how to implant the prosthesis, where it would be after implantation, what kind of structure and method¡­ and so on and so forth, as well as having the ¡°patient¡± constantly change positions.


    Since the patient was a dancer, and a professional at that, many issues had to be taken into consideration.


    Gong Daizhen, looking through the patient¡¯s records, couldn¡¯t help but mutter to herself, performing breast augmentation surgery for a dancer¡ªshe had done it, but¡­ it was after retirement.


    For a dancer as young as this, at the peak of her career, it was her first time seeing one.


    Can the surgery really be successful?


    Gong Daizhen asked herself, could she manage it?


    She wasn¡¯t sure either.


    As for Qin Xiang and Yang Tao, they were utterly baffled.


    Breast augmentation for a dancer¡­ that¡¯s too absurd, isn¡¯t it? Chen Cang was surely too bold!


    They didn¡¯t know that all of Chen Cang¡¯s surgeries today were on dancers.


    After more than thirty minutes of tedious preoperative design, it was soon time to start the surgery.


    After the anesthesiologist administered anesthesia, the surgery was ready to begin.


    The same armpit incision method was used.


    Chen Cang skillfully followed the skin folds of the armpit, making a clever incision.


    The bleeding was minimal, and the incision was only about 2-3 centimeters long.


    A very nice incision, that was Gong Daizhen¡¯s assessment.


    And at that moment, Chen Cang began to separate the skin and fascia.


    Watching Chen Cang take up the separation forceps, ready to probe deeper bit by bit, Gong Daizhen and Qin Xiang exchanged glances!


    Both were taken aback!


    Were they not going to use an endoscope???


    Most current breast augmentation surgeries use an endoscope because it facilitates the placement of implants, making them more reliable¡ªafter all, seeing is believing!


    But Chen Cang didn¡¯t use one!


    Zhang Zhixin seemed to be used to it; he helped Chen Cang continue to separate along the subfascial layer towards the lateral edge of the muscle.


    All these were simple!


    The most challenging part of breast augmentation surgery was the implantation and fixation of the prosthesis, as well as the mastery of its shape.


    Because the patient lies down during surgery!


    If you want to take many effects into account, you must have a precise idea in mind.


    For the average person, being a bit high or a bit low or a bit off doesn¡¯t matter, as long as the size is right.


    But is that really the case?


    Of course not!


    With the instrument in hand, Chen Cang adeptly separated muscle and fascia, finding the gap between the pectoralis major and minor muscles, and bluntly dissected it!


    Neat and decisive, even without an endoscope, it didn¡¯t affect the surgery at all.


    Gong Daizhen watched with some admiration in her heart, how many operations must it take to achieve such proficiency?


    Chen Cang asked himself, it seemed his understanding of the anatomy of the chest was more familiar than anything else.


    God knows how many surgeries he had performed?


    He could even identify each muscle fiber by touch as if greeting a relative, perhaps even exchanging greetings.


    With Zhang Zhixin¡¯s assistance, Chen Cang received the prosthesis, clamped it with his fingers, and step by step, through the incision, placed it into the cavity between the dissected pectoralis major and minor muscles.


    Chen Cang suddenly realized that he had become even more skilled than before!


    Perhaps it had a lot to do with dexterity?


    When he first performed the surgery, there were no gloves equipped, and his fingers lacked enhanced dexterity, which might have made him more clumsy.


    Because when inserting the implant, you constantly need to adjust its shape and position with your fingers¡ªthis is a task that is very delicate and tests your skill!


    All of this, Chen Cang relied solely on feel, watching the exterior, continuously adjusting through touch.


    Searching for a feeling.


    Time kept ticking away.


    The three watched Chen Cang¡¯s surgery intently.


    But¡­ they couldn¡¯t see much because, without an endoscope, they could only feel Chen Cang¡¯s fingers changing things around, then using the same separation forceps that had not been retracted, adjusting the fascia and muscles.


    Qin Xiang felt somewhat embarrassed.


    Was this blind manipulation?


    But what happened next took them by surprise.


    Chen Cang kept adjusting, each time, each step, comparing back and forth at least a dozen times.


    With every adjustment, they felt it seemed to become more natural.


    Every change, they felt something singularly different.


    Proportions!


    Height!


    Measure!


    ¡­


    Chen Cang meticulously scrutinized and adjusted every detail.


    At that moment, Gong Daizhen, as an experienced plastic surgeon, suddenly understood what made such impressive ¡°products¡± possible!


    Because of the attitude!


    Because of the detail!


    Chen Cang treated breast augmentation surgery as if it were a delicate instrument, constantly adjusting and changing it, as if it were a piece of art that needed continuous sculpting.


    And not just a straightforward breast enhancement!


    What Chen Cang did was more than just surgery!


    It was art.


    Moreover, Gong Daizhen discovered that Chen Cang had a unique talent for space, distance, and placement; each of his adjustments made the whole seem even more fitting.


    No wonder it could be worth a million!


    Because ordinary people can¡¯t achieve that.


    That which others cannot do naturally becomes treasured.


    After seeing this, Gong Daizhen suddenly felt that Chen Cang¡¯s plastic surgery had opened up a new direction and era.


    That was a sense of proportion!


    A completely different new approach from the Korean style of plastic surgery.


    Perhaps¡­


    After the surgery, when the patient sat up,


    everyone in the room was stunned!


    So beautiful!


    Really beautiful.


    Perhaps it should be described as breathtaking.


    Especially when comparing before and after the surgery, this stark contrast gave a feeling of a world apart.


    After seeing this, Gong Daizhen sighed and shook her head.


    This kind of thing really comes down to talent!


    Something you can¡¯t learn.


    Plastic surgery really isn¡¯t like other surgical procedures, it requires a very high demand for aesthetics, spatial sense, detail, and a sense of distance.


    However, it seemed¡­ that Chen Cang had all of these qualities!


    Thinking of this, Gong Daizhen couldn¡¯t help but shake her head, and when she looked at Chen Cang again, she had even more anticipation.


    This might just be talent, right?


    This might be what it means to be naturally cut out for the job, right?


    With these thoughts, Gong Daizhen took a deep breath; this trip was really worth it, an eye-opener!


    And it broadened her horizons considerably.


    Chen Cang¡¯s Long Bear surgery indeed expanded Gong Daizhen¡¯s vision and inspired her tremendously!


    Gong Daizhen¡¯s mind raced with many ideas, like how to perfect Long Bear surgery, to advance the domestic plastic surgery industry!


    After all, the plastic surgery industry at home really has shallow roots; it requires innovation from generation after generation for development.


    And Chen Cang¡¯s surgery seemed to show Gong Daizhen a new path, or rather, opened a new skylight.


    Perhaps, after returning, cooperation with the University of Science and Technology should be scheduled, specially designing an instrument to precisely control and measure the details of surgery¡­


    This seems to be a viable path!


    But, to undertake this research, Chen Cang would be the most suitable consultant. After the surgery was over, Gong Daizhen decided to have a thorough talk with Chen Cang about this matter.


    This trip, truly, was not made in vain!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Zhang Zhixin had grown accustomed to it, looking at the three people dumbfounded like stunned chickens, he couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    Being shocked is good, being shocked is good!


    The first one¡­


    The second one¡­


    The third one¡­


    They nervously ate lunch.


    And continued with the surgeries!


    Four or five people, seemingly tireless, completed all five surgeries!


    The more they did, the more everyone marveled, Chen Cang, are you a robot?


    Five surgeries without a single mistake!


    Five surgeries, all detail control in place!


    You must be a robot, right?


    Qin Xiang¡¯s eyes were fervent as he looked at Chen Cang and then turned to Gong Daizhen, ¡°President Gong, can Chen join the National Society for Plastic Surgery?¡±


    Gong Daizhen¡¯s eyes also lit up, right!


    ¡°Of course, he can!¡±


    Gong Daizhen would even clap her hands in welcome for Chen Cang.


    The Association of Plastic Surgeons just needed the new generation of talent like Chen Cang.


    After speaking, Gong Daizhen looked at Chen Cang excitedly, ¡°Chen, submit your application and join our organization as soon as possible! We¡¯re lacking talents like you.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at everyone and then at the excited President Gong, and couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback!


    He looked up, puzzled, and glanced at Zhang Zhixin, Didn¡¯t you say President Gong came to find fault?


    This is clearly¡­ coming to praise me!


    Zhang Zhixin was also baffled, How would I know?


    ps: Hehe, I think five surgeries could have made five chapters, haha, but look, I merged five chapters into one. Promise me, you won¡¯t say I¡¯m padding it out, okay? /SeriousFaceJPG.


    Last but not least, thank you for the 10,000 starting coins reward from ¡®After White, There Comes Black¡¯!

 Chapter 399 - Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Chen Cangs Idea

    Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Chen Cang¡¯s Idea


    ¡°`


    At this moment, Zhang Zhixin suddenly realized that he had indeed judged others by his own measure of pettiness!


    Nevertheless, preparedness averts peril, so Zhang Zhixin did not regret.


    After all, his experiences in society and life had taught him that one must always guard against others.


    Even if Gong Daizhen, the president of the association, had truly come for an exchange of learning, he still had to do what needed to be done.


    However, now that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, it naturally made sense to establish a good relationship.


    Chen Cang was also taken aback for a moment, another national-level association?


    By joining this, I should have completed my task, right?


    And it¡¯s an advanced task: to join two national-level organizations or societies.


    But¡­ I haven¡¯t yet completed my basic task of becoming a provincial-level director, is this appropriate?


    Is there something wrong with the way this system is set up? Advanced tasks are actually simpler than basic ones. As he thought this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help shaking his head.


    If Zhang Zhixin heard Chen Cang¡¯s thoughts, he would definitely strangle him with silicone¡ªdo you think everyone can join two national-level associations?


    And ones that are interdisciplinary and professional at that!


    Without a certain level of achievement, without a special person¡¯s referral, this is very difficult!


    So when he heard Gong Daizhen¡¯s invitation, Chen Cang naturally would not refuse.


    Chen Cang wasn¡¯t one to be overly proud of his talents; for instance, he wouldn¡¯t disdain joining or act with too much pretense. That would be foolish.


    Since President Gong had given him a step by actively inviting him, and with Qin Xiang, the chairman, and Yang Tao, the director, giving their recommendations, Chen Cang would anger them if he put on airs.


    Chen Cang quickly responded with a smile, his face showing his happiness, ¡°Thank you, President Gong, for the invitation, and thank you to Director Qin and Director Yang for their recommendations! To tell you the truth, I¡¯ve long aspired to this and never expected it to happen so soon.¡±


    The others nodded slightly upon seeing this, and Gong Daizhen also smiled. The young man was quite good¡ªtalented for his young age, not arrogant or impetuous, but maintaining a presence neither servile nor overbearing!


    The calmness and composure Chen Cang had shown upon their first meeting was something Gong Daizhen hadn¡¯t expected.


    But now she understood why!


    Because Chen Cang had the strength.


    The strength within that naturally fortifies one¡¯s spirit.


    At this time, Qin Xiang and Yang Tao couldn¡¯t help but start reminiscing.


    To be honest, they had always had some special thoughts about Chen Cang, the million yuan ¡®Long Bear,¡¯ thinking it was merely a gimmick of Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital.


    So even though Chen Cang had collaborated with their cosmetic institutions, he had never performed the ¡®Long Bear¡¯ surgery; in Yang Tao¡¯s eyes, it was simply not practical.


    But at this very moment!


    Yang Tao, to be honest, was regretting!


    He should have come to take a look sooner.


    Thinking of the many opportunities that had slipped through his fingers, his heart truly ached¡­


    If you ask Yang Tao now whether the million yuan was worth it, he would definitely say yes, it was too valuable!


    In Yang Tao¡¯s view, such a ¡®Long Bear¡¯ was already very different from the traditional ¡®Long Bears.¡¯


    Let¡¯s put it in more show-off terms: this bear now had a soul! No, it was like a spirit come to life!


    Really!


    The ¡®Long Bear¡¯ surgery that Chen Cang performed was already significantly different from the traditional sense of the ¡®Long Bear¡¯ surgery.


    If traditional ¡®Long Bear¡¯ surgeries were simply changes in size!


    Then Chen Cang¡¯s surgery was an adjustment in shape, standards, form, and proportion, and so on¡ªit was more akin to sculpting for the chest!


    It¡¯s like giving the chest a new life, an opportunity for transformation.


    At this moment, Yang Tao suddenly felt that what he had done before was worthless!


    There¡¯s no fear in not knowing goods, only in comparing one good against another!


    ¡°`


    When placed together, the differences became immediately apparent.


    Beauty and magnificence are two completely distinct concepts.


    Gong Daizhen had long since realized this and even began to contemplate whether it was possible to evolve the traditional Long Bear surgery.


    Thinking of this, she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Little Chen, whenever you have time, I¡¯d like to have a detailed discussion with you about your Long Bear surgery, I hope we can conduct a special research project on this.¡±


    ¡°I think your surgical technique and skill actually have a lot of potential for exploration and research, we can definitely enrich and perfect the proportions through modern technology, to achieve a kind of fine-tuning in a certain sense.¡±


    ¡°This is a field and project with significant research value!¡±


    ¡°I currently have a collaborative research project with Kyoto Institute of Technology on the study of such surgical fine-tuning instruments, and I hope to invite you to become our consultant, what do you think¡­ would that be convenient for you?¡±


    ¡°Of course, it won¡¯t take up too much of your time, mainly we hope you can help provide several parameters, proportions, and so on.¡±


    At this point, Gong Daizhen continued, ¡°As a consultant, you would be entitled to certain patent rights for the product.¡±


    Chen Cang hadn¡¯t expected Gong Daizhen to have already started researching this sense of detail in distance and space, and to have begun collaborating with Kyoto Institute of Technology.


    It must be said, the resources at the top really are plentiful!


    This is what a true master is like, relying entirely on external help, while Gong, the chairman, has already realized the direction of development and begun to earnestly research.


    Truth be told, this is actually of great research value.


    Many times, the feeling of beauty is actually about choosing a size, dimension, and shape that suits your physique.


    What is beauty?


    That which is natural is beauty.


    And what is natural is harmony!


    And harmony is when the various areas, structures, and proportions of the human body conform to a mechanical and physiological aesthetic.


    Of course, this has its limitations, since everyone is different and instruments can¡¯t endow what they create with a soul.


    But it can already bring about a significant improvement.


    This compared to traditional breast augmentation surgeries and techniques, has already seen a particularly great advancement.


    Moreover, as for Gong Daizhen¡¯s proposal, Chen Cang didn¡¯t refuse. It was a good direction, so why reject it?


    Chen Cang said with a smile, ¡°I am very much looking forward to collaborating with Chairman Gong, and I also hope this Long Bear technique can be further developed and shine.¡±


    These were Chen Cang¡¯s true feelings.


    Why was Chen Cang so eager?


    There was a reason for this.


    Depending on the external aid, how many excellent surgeries could one perform?


    Five a day, over a thousand a year, at most thirty or forty thousand in thirty years!


    Can you not rest?


    And in this country, in this world, how many people are there?


    Your contribution is just too small.


    The appearance of Gong Daizhen gave Chen Cang a new concept¡ªthat is, based on his own external help, to see if some essence of the surgeries could be unearthed, and then through modern scientific technology, to continuously perfect the surgeries, thereby improving surgical efficacy and reducing complications and so on.


    The power of one person, after all, is limited!


    But when you distill your essence and teach more people, that¡¯s when it serves its greatest purpose.


    Gong Daizhen¡¯s current concept might only be aimed at improving the Long Bear surgery, but Chen Cang could completely take advantage of this opportunity, learn the method, and lay a foundation for summarizing and perfecting his other surgeries in the future!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel that these chairmen and presidents really had far-sighted vision!


    Following them, one could genuinely learn a lot.


    Gong Daizhen didn¡¯t stay long after making her intentions clear, leaving her contact information with Chen Cang and Zhang Zhixin. After exchanging a few courteous words and inviting Zhang Zhixin to join the Chinese Association of Plastic Surgeons, she left.

 Chapter 400 - Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Stop Thinking About Chen Cang

    Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Stop Thinking About Chen Cang


    Gong Daizhen¡¯s departure left Zhang Zhixin sighing.


    Had he really joined the National Association of Plastic Surgeons?


    The thought was somewhat unbelievable.


    He looked at Qin Xiang and Yang Tao, with a helpless expression, and said, ¡°Director Yang, didn¡¯t you say that Chairman Gong was the reinforcement invited by An Jing?¡±


    Yang Tao gave an embarrassed smile. ¡°I was just worried about you. After all, we both run plastic surgery hospitals and could inevitably attract trouble. I wanted to give you a heads-up.¡±


    Yang Tao also ran a plastic surgery hospital and had thought a lot about these concerns.


    Qin Xiang smiled. ¡°Chairman Gong is very capable. She was among the first in our country to engage in aesthetic plastic surgery. Like me, she used to specialize in dermatology. Later, when the government established the Association of Plastic Surgeons, she was called upon in a crisis and switched to this industry.¡±


    ¡°Looking at the booming development of the plastic surgery industry now, it actually boils down to two issues: a shallow foundation and rampant misconduct.¡±


    ¡°The oldest generation in the plastic surgery field is us. Most have transitioned from the dermatology departments of public hospitals. We lack depth, and at present, there are too many plastic surgery options in China, with non-standard practices being all too common. Additionally, the invasion of the Korean Wave culture has made the higher-ups realize a lot. These years there has been an emphasis on strengthening national cultural and technological innovation and fostering the national spirit, which is indeed a long and arduous task.¡±


    Yang Tao nodded; this was something he deeply understood!


    ¡°In the early years, our domestic public hospitals, especially the top-tier ones, didn¡¯t pay much attention to dermatology and cosmetic services and were lagging in development. In fact, many hospitals outsourced their dermatology and plastic surgery departments.¡±


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t until ten years ago that they began to pay serious attention and started developing. But by that time, the market resources had been divided up.¡±


    ¡°So, just as Director Qin said, the development is hindered, the foundation is weak, and misconduct abounds.¡±


    Qin Xiang nodded. ¡°Yeah, Chen Cang, when I initially invited you to join us, it was with the hope that we could work together to forge our unique path in plastic surgery, exuding cultural confidence and national innovation!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s prepare well for the Korean exchange meeting in December!¡±


    After chatting for a while, Qin Xiang and Yang Tao didn¡¯t linger much longer and left.


    This inadvertently made Chen Cang realize something!


    The state of plastic surgery in China¡­ was indeed lagging behind.


    [Ding! Task completed. Master-level SMAS Facelift technique acquired. Start specialized training now?]


    Chen Cang shook his head; there was no time for that now.


    Zhang Zhixin looked at Chen Cang with a smile. ¡°Little Chen, I¡¯ve been able to benefit from your success as well.¡±


    Chen Cang asked curiously, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin shook his head. ¡°You might not be fully aware, but our National Association of Plastic Surgeons is not very welcoming to private organizations. I joined the provincial association only with the help of Director Qin, and the national level was pretty much out of reach. Most members are from the plastic surgery and dermatology departments of public hospitals. I didn¡¯t expect to join so quickly.¡±


    ¡°To be honest, if it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to receive an invitation so soon!¡±


    Chen Cang laughed heartily. ¡°In that case, are we turning a misfortune into a blessing?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin also smiled sheepishly. ¡°I never thought Chairman Gong was really here to learn and exchange. Little Chen, your reputation truly precedes you. Even Chairman Gong from the capital has heard of you. Your future is boundless.¡±


    ¡°When you think about it, we¡¯ve also misunderstood Chairman Gong, haha.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After leaving Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital, Gong Daizhen waited a while before calling An Jing.


    At that moment, An Jing was anxiously waiting for her mentor¡¯s call.


    Ever since her mentor¡¯s birthday, An Jing had deliberately let slip some information about Chen Cang and even complained about him in front of her fellow apprentice brothers and sisters.


    An Jing did not have a favorable impression of Chen Cang since their confrontation at Zheng Guotan¡¯s place.


    Later, as Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital, their competitor, prospered, An Jing naturally felt uncomfortable.


    You, a newcomer, asking for tens of thousands for a regular plastic surgery procedure, while Long Bear dares to charge a million? Isn¡¯t that a joke?


    So, she had deliberately revealed this incident to her mentor.


    Yet, she had not anticipated that, a month later, her mentor would actually come!


    And even went to personally observe Chen Cang¡¯s surgery.


    This caused An Jing¡¯s inner glee mixed with a bit of anticipation.


    ¡°`


    Just wait until the teacher exposes Chen Cang¡¯s true colors!


    The phone had been waited on all day, and finally, it rang!


    An Jing hurriedly answered the phone: ¡°Hello? Teacher, why did you only call now? I¡¯ve ordered food at Jingyang Hall¡­¡±


    Gong Daizhen sighed, she had already booked a return ticket to the capital city on the high-speed train, to return overnight.


    How could Gong Daizhen not understand what An Jing was thinking?


    It was nothing more than wanting her to suppress the other¡¯s momentum and, if possible, expose Chen Cang¡¯s hypocritical ¡°true face¡± and reveal the facts behind the hype.


    She knew her students all too well.


    An Jing was capable, that was true, but a bit too arrogant, and with too many petty thoughts. Compared to her sister Annie, she was lacking.


    Hearing the phone ring, Gong Daizhen slowly said, ¡°An Jing, I¡¯ve booked tonight¡¯s high-speed train. I have things to do tomorrow, so I won¡¯t trouble you all.¡±


    Upon hearing the teacher say this, An Jing¡¯s face changed instantly: ¡°Teacher¡­ it¡¯s no trouble at all¡­ You can rest¡­¡±


    Gong Daizhen slowly said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, don¡¯t be formal with your teacher. There are a few things I want to tell you.¡±


    ¡°First, Chen Cang¡¯s breast augmentation surgery is better than mine, so don¡¯t be plotting any schemes.¡±


    ¡°Second, Chen Cang is now a member of my latest research team, ranked third, and also a consultant. Think more about why when you do things in the future.¡±


    ¡°Third, focus on your own work and don¡¯t worry about others. You should learn more from your sister Annie.¡±


    ¡°Lastly, your teacher hopes you do well¡­¡±


    ¡­


    After hanging up the phone, Gong Daizhen sighed. She hoped that An Jing could grow and mature; it¡¯s not always good to have things go too smoothly.


    As a teacher, she might criticize, but she still cared.


    Meanwhile, An Jing, after putting down the phone, had a head full of complex and incredulous thoughts.


    She could never have imagined her own teacher, President Gong, actually saying in person that Chen Cang¡¯s breast surgery was better than hers!


    How could that be?


    For An Jing, it was hard to accept.


    But what was even harder to accept was the second point, that Chen Cang was actually a member of the recently established research team by her teacher, and not only that but ranked in the top three as a technical consultant!


    This¡­ was this not exaggerated?


    What qualifications did Chen Cang have?


    She herself had been rejected by the teacher when she wanted to join the project.


    The project in question was a national key research project, a collaboration between the plastic surgery field project group and the National Science and Technology Department.


    It was a joint venture between Jishuitan Hospital, where her teacher worked, and the Capital University of Technology, with funding amounting to over thirty million, with potential follow-ups.


    For such a project, how could Chen Cang serve as a consultant?


    And¡­ to be ranked third!


    First was her teacher, second was a professor from the Capital University of Technology, and third was Chen Cang!


    How was this possible?


    That was just too extravagant!


    Thinking of this, An Jing could not help but fall silent¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Ah, you bunch of meanies, you said my book had ended yesterday¡­ As a result, I lost many favorites, and the subscriptions dropped too! Really, they did! You owe me¡­ sob¡­


    I¡­ burst into tears with a wail!


    Ahem, thanks to ¡°Dongzi Drinks M-Duo¡± for the 20,000 reward, a stalwart helmsman, thank you boss. I first read it as ¡°Dongzi Drinks Arteries¡± and got a shock, but on closer inspection, it was M-Duo, not artery.

 Chapter 401 - Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Whoever is Pretty has the Say!

    Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Whoever is Pretty has the Say!


    ¡°My mom wants to meet you!¡±


    After receiving this message from Qin Yue, Chen Cang¡¯s mood became tumultuous. In just three seconds, he went from excitement, to nervousness, to total confusion.


    Those three seconds seemed incredibly long for Chen Cang!


    So long that he wondered whether to call her ¡°Auntie¡± or to just cut to the chase and call her ¡°Mom!¡±


    So long that he considered whether he should exchange for a martial arts secret technique: ¡°How to Have Fun with Your Mother-in-Law,¡± and then rapidly train to master level.


    So long that he pondered whether his future son should be raised by his mother-in-law or by his own mother.


    Exhausting¡­


    After three seconds, Chen Cang still didn¡¯t know what to reply with his phone in hand!


    He could only respond with an emoji expressing his anxiety and fear.


    Qin Yue had been laughing on the sofa for a good ten minutes.


    She had already imagined all of Chen Cang¡¯s mental processes.


    The thought of Chen Cang¡¯s dumbfounded face made Qin Yue want to laugh even more.


    Ji Ruyun, seeing her daughter rolling with laughter on the sofa and looking nothing like a proper lady, couldn¡¯t help but sigh. This crazy girl finally got someone to take her; I¡¯ll have to comfort this poor boy properly. Forget buying a house, even throwing in a car would be fine!


    But then she worried that if they got married and Yueyue reverted to her true self, will little Chen be scared off?


    What if he returned the goods¡­ How embarrassing that would be!


    With this thought, Ji Ruyun quickly scolded softly, ¡°Qin Yue, sit properly! You¡¯re acting like a lunatic¡­ Look at your hair, a bird¡¯s nest looks better than that.¡±


    Qin Yue remained imperturbable and whined, ¡°Nooo, I don¡¯t wanna!¡±


    Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes and retorted, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that if little Chen sees you like this, he won¡¯t want you in the future?¡±


    Qin Yue instantly froze, then scoffed after a moment¡¯s thought, ¡°He wouldn¡¯t dare!¡±


    But her voice clearly lacked the conviction it had earlier, even sounding a bit guilty. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly looked worriedly at her phone and sent a message:


    ¡°At home, who has the final say?¡±


    Chen Cang, currently searching on Baidu on how to have fun with his mother-in-law, was puzzled when he suddenly received this message.


    What did this mean?


    Could it be¡­ his mother-in-law was the one holding the phone?


    With this thought, Chen Cang quickly digested the spirit of the conference he had just attended, constantly integrating it, and in a flash, enlightenment dawned on him like divine inspiration.


    ¡°Whoever is pretty gets to call the shots!¡±


    When Qin Yue received the message, she burst into giggles again. ¡°Mom, come over here, I¡¯ve got a message to show you.¡±


    She pulled Ji Ruyun over to sit on the sofa and handed her the phone, ¡°Mom, look!¡±


    Ji Ruyun curiously took the phone and burst into laughter upon reading the message. This kid, does he have such a strong will to survive?


    The mother and daughter laughed together.


    At that moment, Qin Xiaoyuan poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and walked in to find the mother and daughter laughing joyously. Curious, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s the good news that¡¯s making you laugh so happily?¡±


    Ji Ruyun suddenly had an idea, ¡°Old Qin, who has the final say at home?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t even have to think before he blurted out, ¡°Of course it¡¯s¡­ whoever is reasonable gets to call the shots!¡±


    As soon as he said this, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly felt the temperature around him drop several degrees, his back chilled and his scalp tingling, as if even the air had become motionless!


    Immediately, Old Qin¡¯s face changed. Years of clinical experience told him that at this moment, he needed to argue his case!


    ¡°However, most of the time, you are the reasonable one!¡±


    Sure enough, with those words, the temperature rose once again, but¡­ it was still slightly chilly compared to the start.


    Seeing Ji Ruyun staring intently at him, Qin Xiaoyuan was bit confused. Was that not enough?


    Qin Yue felt like her chest was going to explode from laughter!


    Yet, with this situation, she couldn¡¯t let it out and had to hold it in!


    Trying to hold it in, she eventually couldn¡¯t resist and burst out with peals of laughter.


    Ji Ruyun also snorted coldly!


    ¡°Can¡¯t even talk properly!¡±


    Old Qin immediately grinned sheepishly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you satisfied yet!¡±


    Ji Ruyun said to Qin Yue, ¡°Yueyue, tell your dad what little Chen said to you!¡±


    Qin Yue grinned, squinting her eyes, ¡°Chen Cang said, ¡®We listen to whoever is beautiful!''¡±


    Ji Ruyun sighed in frustration as though she couldn¡¯t toughen up a loved one, ¡°Look at you. You should say, ¡®We listen to whoever is right!¡¯ Why does it sound so unpleasant when I hear it.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was also dumbfounded, couldn¡¯t help but let out a snort of derision, this kid, slick and sycophantic, only knows how to kiss up!


    At this moment, Qin Xiaoyuan still hadn¡¯t given up his straightforward nature, chuckled, and said, ¡°We¡¯re an old couple anyway, why talk about such artificial niceties, right?¡±


    ¡°Besides, people get old, don¡¯t they!¡±


    The words no sooner left his lips than they caused an uproar!


    All one could see was Ji Ruyun snorting coldly, ¡°Alright then! Qin Xiaoyuan, I knew it, you despise me for getting old, don¡¯t you?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t despise you for being ugly, and you actually despise me for being old!¡±


    At this point, Qin Yue hurriedly clutched Ji Ruyun¡¯s arm, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t listen to Dad. Who would say you look like you¡¯re fifty? Your skin is so good!¡±


    While speaking, she gave Old Qin a meaningful glance, and Old Qin wasn¡¯t dumb; he picked up the teapot and made straight for the study.


    Ji Ruyun sighed, unable to hold back, ¡°I am getting old, more and more wrinkles on my face, ah¡­¡±


    In the midst of speaking, she picked up the small Mirror from the coffee table, frowned, touched the crow¡¯s feet and wrinkles on her face, and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Suddenly having an idea, Qin Yue said, ¡°Mom, what¡¯s to fear about wrinkles? I heard that nowadays they can do cosmetic procedures to remove them, minimally invasive, you basically can¡¯t tell that any surgery was done. It¡¯s just through adjustments to the fascia or whatever, and it can smooth out the wrinkles on the face, and the effects are particularly good, they say there are no side effects! Doesn¡¯t damage the facial nerves at all.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyun¡¯s heart was immediately stirred!


    ¡°Really?¡±


    Qin Yue immediately responded seriously, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s true. Would I lie to you?¡±


    ¡°One of these days I¡¯ll take you to a cosmetic clinic to take a look, we¡¯ll inquire about it, what do you think?¡±


    At this moment, Ji Ruyun¡¯s eyes were full of anticipation, a bit excited, she nodded, ¡°Okay!¡±


    Women will be women.


    No matter the age, they¡¯re still women.


    Even if the years pass and beauty fades.


    That daughterly heart, will never vanish.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, Chen Cang, upon not receiving a reply from Qin Yue for a long time, became uneasy, had he given the wrong answer?


    Then, Qin Yue suddenly said, ¡°Not bad, full marks, I am very satisfied with your earlier answer!¡±


    Chen Cang immediately let out a sigh of relief.


    But Qin Yue continued, ¡°But¡­ when I get old, I won¡¯t look good¡­ won¡¯t be beautiful anymore.¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°I¡¯ll help you stay beautiful. Do you know why I¡¯m studying cosmetic surgery? It¡¯s to keep you looking beautiful forever!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue immediately became cheerful.


    Such flattery, truly comfortable, feeling utterly content.


    ¡°You said it!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I said it!¡±


    Qin Yue, feeling delightful, hugged her phone to her chest and suddenly felt like she was the happiest person in the world.

 Chapter 402 - Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Grand Prize and Surprise

    Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Grand Prize and Surprise


    Qin Yue lay in bed, dressed in her pajamas. By the end of October, the weather had already started to turn chilly, so she was covered with a woolen blanket.


    Holding her phone, she thought about giving Chen Cang a surprise.


    ¡°Tomorrow I¡¯ve got some things to do with my parents, so I won¡¯t be able to accompany you, remember to be good!¡±


    Qin Yue thought about how by buying the house herself, Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t need to buy one, and it would be a surprise for him.


    Actually, it might not be considered a surprise, but it could certainly lessen Chen Cang¡¯s burden.


    Seeing him work so hard every day, she didn¡¯t want to add to his stress.


    This is not to say that Qin Yue didn¡¯t care about her parents, but comparatively, the money spent on a house isn¡¯t lost.


    Plus, Chen Cang and she were just starting out; buying an apartment would mean living without quality, and it wasn¡¯t as if Chen Cang lacked drive or ambition.


    Qin Yue believed in Chen Cang; in her eyes, Chen Cang was the best, the most outstanding!


    She was also willing to be Chen Cang¡¯s ¡°Xiao Qin¡± for a lifetime!


    ¡­


    Actually, she still hoped Chen Cang would accompany her to see the house, but it was obviously not suitable.


    For one thing, she was worried it might hurt Chen Cang¡¯s self-esteem; for another¡­ she was also concerned about what her parents might think or whether they would look down on Chen Cang.


    A girl¡¯s thoughts are very delicate.


    Qin Yue was also using her careful thoughts to protect Chen Cang.


    When Chen Cang saw the message, he couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Tomorrow morning, he had plans to finalize the house deal with Manager Wang.


    In the afternoon, he would ask Qin Yue out to give her a surprise.


    Hearing that Qin Yue was busy, he immediately asked, ¡°Do you have any plans tomorrow afternoon?¡±


    Qin Yue frowned slightly, unsure if she could finalize the house in the afternoon, and sent an emoji: ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    The two exchanged some sweet nothings, cooing and wooing for a while before they finally went to sleep.


    (Considering the number of single friends reading this book, let¡¯s not write any further¡­)


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At about nine o¡¯clock the next morning, after the Qin family had finished eating, they went together to the sales office in the Hai¡¯an New District, where it was bustling with activity.


    Ji Ruyun was startled and then delighted: ¡°Eh? They¡¯re having a promotion, it seems we¡¯ve come at the right time!¡±


    Qin Yue was also excited and nodded: ¡°Yeah, they didn¡¯t have this last time I came. Wow¡­ look, the promotion is huge.¡±


    It seemed that women have an innate longing for promotions.


    Giant promotional banners were hung, and a large prize wheel stating ¡°Buy a house, get free furniture,¡± among other things, stood out.


    Just buy a house and you could participate in the promotion; the grand prize was a 70% discount on the house purchase, along with free decoration and home appliances.


    Even the fifth prize offered one year of property fee exemption, which looked genuinely interesting.


    Not to mention the prizes for the first few places!


    These rewards were tempting and envy-inducing to anyone who saw them!


    The grand prize, especially, was coveted by all.


    After all, home decoration is a bottomless pit; even if you buy a furnished apartment, most people would want to redecorate, not to mention the inclusion of furniture, which could cost a fortune!


    The most critical thing was the 70% discount on the house!


    This could save millions.


    All present were dazzled by the prospect, eyes shining with excitement.


    However, the odds were obviously quite low.


    Looking at the promotional banner, Qin Yue immediately said with a smile, ¡°Dad, I¡¯ll win the grand prize for you in a bit!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan chuckled: ¡°You silly girl, you¡¯ve never won more than five yuan in the lottery since you were little; now you¡¯re dreaming of winning such a big prize!¡±


    Indeed, the grand prize was equivalent to five million!


    Who would have thought that Zheng¡¯s Group would be so generous as to offer something so extravagant? It attracted many potential home buyers at once.


    In fact, this was the brilliance of Manager Wang. When he thought of Chen Cang¡¯s promotion idea, he came up with this event as a stunt, which indeed attracted many more buyers.


    Now that the property market had entered an era of de-stocking, all real estate companies were running promotions.


    Qin Yue¡¯s family was looking at the sandbox, listening to the salesgirl¡¯s introduction.


    Qin Yue had obviously already toured around once and found several interesting apartments. Just as she was about to ask a question, the loudspeaker in the hall suddenly came to life.


    ¡°Our lucky winner of today¡¯s grand prize has been born!¡±


    Upon hearing this, people around immediately turned to look. They saw Chen Cang smiling as he went on stage to shake hands and exchange pleasantries with General Manager Wang Zhi.


    Wang Zhi looked at the crowd and smiled, ¡°Congratulations to this friend for winning our grand prize. We will refund the relevant fees, and will renovate the apartment according to your wishes. If you don¡¯t want to redecorate, we will provide you with a decoration subsidy worth 300,000 yuan at 2,500 yuan per square meter, and a home appliance package worth 200,000 yuan. Let¡¯s congratulate our grand prize winner!¡±


    As soon as these words came out, the crowd below burst into discussion.


    Ji Ruyun suddenly patted Qin Yue and Qin Xiaoyuan, looking puzzled, ¡°Hey, hey, look at that guy. Why does he look so familiar to me?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan, who was looking at the apartments with the salesgirl, didn¡¯t even turn his head as he said, ¡°You think all young men you see nowadays look familiar!¡±


    Qin Yue struggled not to laugh.


    But out of curiosity, she glanced over¡­


    With that glance, Qin Yue was stunned!


    Wasn¡¯t that Chen Cang?


    Her eyes went wide, and she stared at the man on stage in utter disbelief.


    She knew him too well; it was definitely Chen Cang.


    Old Qin also took an unintended glance, and he, too, was immediately dumbstruck, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Chen Cang?¡±


    No sooner had he spoken than Ji Ruyun¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°That¡¯s little Chen? I knew he looked so familiar! That kid is really lucky to get a whole apartment just like that!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan, looking at Chen Cang, muttered to himself, ¡°I thought it was just a marketing stunt, the grand prize can¡¯t be real. I didn¡¯t expect it to be genuine!¡±


    Old Qin thought that these lottery events were real, but the grand prize had to be fake!


    After all, it was worth millions. Even the most generous wouldn¡¯t just give that away!


    But didn¡¯t he know who Chen Cang was?


    Unexpectedly, the grand prize was real!


    If that was the case¡­


    Does that mean we don¡¯t need to buy an apartment anymore?


    And¡­ there¡¯s no need to worry about decoration¡­ or furniture and appliances.


    With this in mind, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly found little Chen to be increasingly likable and fortunate. Not bad at all!


    Even Ji Ruyun tugged at Qin Yue, ¡°Yueyue, how big is the apartment Chen is buying? With this triple discount, you¡¯ve got to buy a big one, preferably 300 square meters. He¡¯s so lucky!¡±


    But Qin Yue remained silent.


    Qin Yue had no idea why Chen Cang was buying an apartment.


    Just then, Qin Yue¡¯s phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was Chen Cang.


    Qin Yue sneered, I want to hear what you have to say!


    ¡°Hello?¡±


    Chen Cang spoke excitedly, ¡°Qin Yue, I bought the apartment we looked at before. Do you know how much I spent?¡±


    When Qin Yue heard Chen Cang say this, her anger subsided by half. So he wanted to surprise me!


    However, Qin Yue smiled, ¡°You spent 1.2 million, and they gave you a 300,000 yuan decoration allowance, plus 200,000 yuan for home appliances, right?¡±


    Chen Cang, just off the stage, was suddenly confused!


    This wasn¡¯t how the script was supposed to go.


    Weren¡¯t you supposed to be shocked?


    Even if not shocked, should you at least have some doubts?


    But now¡­ this attitude is too¡­


    Off-track!


    Could it be that they are at the scene?


    Chen Cang immediately started looking around.


    All at once, he looked up and indeed saw a pretty girl staring at him with a sneer.


    Next to her was¡­ Old Qin, whose eyes seemed to twinkle as they looked at Chen Cang.


    And there was a woman dressed elegantly, who must be¡­ Qin Yue¡¯s mother.

 Chapter 403 - Chapter 403: Chapter 403: The Mother-in-laws Delight

    Chapter 403: Chapter 403: The Mother-in-law¡¯s Delight


    Chen Cang sighed. He originally thought that when Qin Yue said, ¡°Mom wants to meet him,¡± she was just kidding!


    He didn¡¯t expect this moment to come so quickly!


    It seems¡­he shouldn¡¯t joke around in the future, just in case it comes true, right?


    At this thought, Chen Cang felt embarrassed, nervous, and somewhat at a loss.


    Should he go over there? He didn¡¯t know what to say!


    But it was obvious that not going over would be inappropriate!


    After all¡­this was Chen Cang¡¯s first time meeting Old Qin as Qin Yue¡¯s boyfriend. Thinking about it, he felt a little¡­excited!


    Chen Cang looked up and met Qin Yue¡¯s teasing gaze, gaining a burst of courage inside!


    Why be a coward!


    Go for it!


    Chen Cang smiled, stood up, and walked forward.


    ¡°Dean Qin, hello!¡±


    ¡°Auntie, hello.¡±


    Chen Cang greeted them with a smile.


    This was the first time Ji Ruyun had seen Chen Cang up close. In the past, they had only seen each other across a windowsill. Although she could get a rough idea from that distance, she had never observed Chen Cang so closely.


    Her first impression really was quite good: tall and well-built, neat and tidy, giving off an aura of reliability.


    Ji Ruyun smiled, ¡°Little Chen, right? I often hear Yueyue talking about you. I¡¯ve even said that you should come over to our place sometime!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Absolutely, I¡¯ll definitely come and visit. I¡¯ve also heard Qin Yue talk a lot about Auntie, calling you ¡®indirect salvation¡¯ and saying you were very beautiful when you were young. Now that I see you today, you still have great poise.¡±


    A bit of flattery made Ji Ruyun quite pleased, ¡°Come over to our place sometime, and I¡¯ll make something delicious for you.¡±


    Then, Ji Ruyun laughed, ¡°Little Chen, you¡¯re really lucky!¡±


    ¡°Just like that, your burdens are lifted! The house is furnished and everything. By the way, how big is the house you bought?¡±


    Chen Cang glanced at Qin Yue, ¡°Last time, Qin Yue and I came to see a set of about 120 square meters, but at that time the owner didn¡¯t plan to sell. A couple of days ago, they suddenly called me, saying they were ready to sell, so I hurried over today to take a look.¡±


    Chen Cang concealed the details of his discussion with Zheng Guotan.


    ¡°Qin Yue really liked it, so I thought I¡¯d make the down payment as a surprise for her. But after I got here, I saw there was a promotion and entered the raffle, never expecting to win the grand prize. I really didn¡¯t expect it ¡ª not only did I not have to pay, but I also made a good sum of money!¡±


    ¡°And I didn¡¯t expect to bump into you all here.¡±


    With that, everyone burst into laughter.


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Chen Cang, somewhat envious, ¡°You lucky kid, you just saved yourself the struggle of twenty years!¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and have a look, shall we? The house is ready to move in.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded excitedly, ¡°Yes, mom and dad, let me show you. I fell in love with this house at first sight.¡±


    Qin Yue and Chen Cang were not young anymore, so Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun both had the thought of them settling down early.


    Although they hadn¡¯t been dating for long, they had known each other for over three years.


    Over these three years, feelings had developed between them, possibly love had grown over time ¨C it¡¯s just that neither had spoken of it.


    So now, after confirming their relationship, what they thought about most might be marriage and having children.


    Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun were of the same mind, hoping to settle their child¡¯s lifelong matter sooner to put their own minds at ease.


    Even though this was only the first meeting, Ji Ruyun had a very good impression of Chen Cang, but she still felt that they needed more time to get to know each other.


    However, no matter what, the marriage was ultimately up to the children; as long as they were willing, that was enough.


    As parents, they were anxious, but what they desired most was for their children to have a good place to call home.


    It wasn¡¯t that Qin Yue needed to find someone extremely rich or capable, merely someone who was good to her, dependable, and reliable.


    Seeing Qin Yue and Chen Cang happily together, Ji Ruyun and Qin Xiaoyuan were satisfied.


    After entering the room, they were pleased to see that both the layout and the orientation were very good.


    After a brief tour, they watched Qin Yue and Chen Cang walk around the empty house, repeatedly imagining the future arrangement of the rooms. Qin Yue even began to take on the air of a homeowner, actively directing how her home would be arranged.


    The two parents suddenly felt that this was quite nice.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At noon, Qin Xiaoyuan treated everyone to a simple meal.


    In fact, Qin Xiaoyuan was very satisfied with Chen Cang himself; it was just that¡­as a hospital dean, he had to maintain a certain demeanor, yet at that moment, he was no different from an ordinary person.


    There was laughter and conversation as they helped themselves to food and ate together.


    It was evident that the family of three was very warm and harmonious.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue sat on one side, while Ji Ruyun and Qin Xiaoyuan sat on the other.


    After they had finished eating, Ji Ruyun couldn¡¯t help but laugh as she looked at Qin Yue and Chen Cang, ¡°Oh my, before you know it, we¡¯re old, and the kids are all grown up!¡±


    Pouting, Qin Yue said with a smile, ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t look old at all!¡±


    Ji Ruyun grinned, ¡°Not old? My face is full of wrinkles, all thanks to your dad and you stressing me out!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but console her, ¡°Mom, who doesn¡¯t have a few wrinkles! Let¡¯s go get them treated someday.¡±


    Speaking of this, Qin Yue suddenly slapped Chen Cang on the shoulder, ¡°Aren¡¯t you frequently visiting the plastic surgery hospital now? Do you know how to do that wrinkle removal technique?¡±


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!


    Holy crap!


    He had an epiphany!


    He finally understood why the system had granted him the SMAS wrinkle removal technique!


    It was prepared for conquering the mother-in-law!


    Chen Cang suddenly saw the light; all the time he had spent learning how to get along happily with his mother-in-law was not in vain¡ªit had already penetrated deep into his skill repertoire within the system.


    Not bad at all!


    Taking advantage of his momentary hesitation, Chen Cang chose to activate the skill instantly.


    [SMAS Wrinkle Removal Technique: Master Level, proceed to intense training?]


    Yes!


    Chen Cang blinked and found himself in the training space¡­


    When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Ji Ruyun¡¯s face had transformed!


    For the first time, Chen Cang discovered that when the ¡°Wrinkle Removal Technique¡± was combined with the ¡°Eye of Beauty¡±, such a significant change could occur!


    Thrilled by the thought, Chen Cang felt excited!


    Half a minute later, Chen Cang roughly had an idea.


    Qin Yue, seeing Chen Cang staring at Ji Ruyun¡¯s face for so long, couldn¡¯t help but tap him, ¡°What are you daydreaming about staring at my mom? Speak up, will you?¡±


    Even Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but shiver internally, what is this rascal up to!


    Ji Ruyun, having been observed by Chen Cang for so long, was quite calm. She could tell that the look in Chen Cang¡¯s eyes was one of scrutiny and contemplation, very professional and peaceful, like a doctor examining a patient.


    She turned to glance at Qin Xiaoyuan and couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes at him.


    Only then did Chen Cang slowly say, ¡°Auntie, actually, the wrinkles on your face are completely removable, and combined with hyaluronic acid, it¡¯s possible to properly plump up the skin, leading to a significant change!¡±


    As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Ruyun¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Really? Chen? Can my wrinkles be removed?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, absolutely, and without any traces, very natural!¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the skill at that moment:


    [SMAS Wrinkle Removal Technique: Master Level; Special Effects: 1. No scarring; 2. Natural.]


    Both special effects were quite powerful; they seemed ordinary but were in fact the most practical.


    The target demographic for wrinkle removal procedures is usually people around forty to fifty years old or even older, an age group that doesn¡¯t like to have significant alterations on their faces. Their only wish is to eliminate wrinkles, preferably in a way that others can¡¯t tell, and after the surgery, they want it to look natural and not obviously post-surgical.


    Therefore, Chen Cang¡¯s special effects hit the spot just right!


    As soon as Ji Ruyun heard this, she was tempted, ¡°Chen, can you perform this surgery?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m quite good at it.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Ji Ruyun was extremely pleased inside!


    Her gaze at Chen Cang was filled with satisfaction as well.


    ¡­

 Chapter 404 - Chapter 404: Chapter 404: President Qin is going to enjoy the good life!

    Chapter 404: Chapter 404: President Qin is going to enjoy the good life!


    After hearing what Chen Cang had to say, even Qin Xiaoyuan was somewhat dumbfounded.


    He couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Chen, when did you start learning plastic surgery?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed. Ah, having a director in the family really makes things tough.


    Will they say I¡¯m not focusing on my proper job?


    Will they dislike me for getting an extra practice license?


    But this man is going to be my future father-in-law, Chen Cang thought, and he couldn¡¯t help but sigh again.


    He braced himself and said, ¡°It¡¯s been some time¡­ I learned from teacher Zhang Zhixin, and whenever I had time on weekends these past two months, I would go over to help out and actually learned quite a lot.¡±


    The moment he said this, it wasn¡¯t just Qin Xiaoyuan.


    Qin Yue and Ji Ruyun also felt a jolt in their hearts!


    You¡¯ve practiced for two months and now you dare to operate on me/my mom?


    Chen Cang, just how bold are you!


    Even Qin Xiaoyuan was flabbergasted and rolled his eyes. This kid really has no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth.


    Although practicing skills on your own family is acceptable¡­ you really take it too casually.


    We¡¯re not even married yet, haven¡¯t even started calling you mom, and you¡¯re already prepared to operate on my wife, what will it be like later?


    Thinking about it, old Qin¡¯s scalp tingled!


    Qin Yue¡¯s face was full of embarrassment, and he cautiously glanced at his mother, fearing any signs of an unstable menopausal factor.


    But seeing Ji Ruyun looking calm, Qin Yue relaxed a bit.


    Everyone else couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Seeing the reaction, Chen Cang suddenly felt awkward and now couldn¡¯t find a way to explain!


    You can¡¯t just say that you have an extraordinary talent that sets you apart from ordinary people, can you?


    Say that in one week you surpassed Zhang Zhixin, in two weeks you beat Yang Tao, in three weeks you matched Qin Xiang without falling short, and in four weeks you¡¯re already unique in your approaches?


    Obviously, it was better not to say anything at all!


    Qin Yue smiled and comforted, ¡°Mom, what Chen Cang means is that he can help you get in touch with a plastic surgeon, since he deals with them often and knows them well.¡±


    Chen Cang quickly nodded, ¡°Right, right, right, Auntie, I can help you contact a few plastic surgeons.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan coughed, and he and Ji Ruyun, after all, are big shots in the medical field of Anyang City, with Ji Ruyun specifically managing medical insurance and being involved with every hospital.


    And Qin Xiaoyuan is a hospital director, with lots of people eager to get acquainted.


    However, Chen was also being kind, and Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun smiled.


    Ji Ruyun said with a smile, ¡°Chen, I¡¯m not very familiar with this wrinkle removal. Can you explain it to your aunt?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Auntie, there are many methods for wrinkle removal nowadays, but the one with a long-lasting effect and fewer side effects is actually a procedure called SMAS facelift, which is also widely recognized at the moment.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, this kind of surgery generally lasts a long time, up to six to ten years¡­¡±


    After Chen Cang¡¯s explanation, Ji Ruyun had a fairly good impression of it and thought she might look into it when she had time.


    Suddenly Qin Xiaoyuan remembered, ¡°Right, Qin Xiang from East Hospital is into plastic surgery. I¡¯ve met him a few times, but we¡¯re not very close. We can ask him when we have time.¡±


    Ji Ruyun nodded. Generally, in public hospitals, Ji Ruyun could ask for favors since she was in charge of medical insurance, so who wouldn¡¯t want to interact with her?


    Speaking bluntly, nowadays the medical insurance indicators are strictly regulated, and there¡¯s a quota for medical record inspections by the medical insurance authorities; a certain number must be met.


    So, in a hospital, you dare not offend anyone from the medical insurance department!


    Knowing someone from the medical insurance side can save you a lot of trouble!


    This is also one of the reasons why the insurance policy at the Provincial Second Hospital is relatively lax¡­


    Ji Ruyun is none other than Director Ji.


    Just at this moment, a figure walked over and then stepped back.


    ¡°Director Qin, Director Ji! It really is you.¡±


    Everyone looked up and immediately saw a man standing opposite them, waving at them.


    Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun both smiled: ¡°Director Qin, we were just talking about you. It really is a case of ¡®speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives!¡¯


    Since it was an open dining area without doors, anyone passing by could see inside.


    Qin Xiaoyuan called over a waiter: ¡°Clear the table and brew a pot of tea.¡±


    ¡°Come, Director Qin, have a seat and drink some tea, we just happen to have something to discuss with you.¡±


    Qin Xiang actually hadn¡¯t planned to sit, but upon hearing that Qin Xiaoyuan had something to tell him, he took a seat.


    He had just sat down when he saw Chen Cang and Qin Yue.


    ¡°Eh? Little Chen? You¡¯re here too¡­ and this is¡­?¡±


    Qin Xiang looked a bit dumbfounded.


    With a cheerful demeanor, Qin Xiaoyuan said: ¡°Oh! That¡¯s right, Director Qin let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Qin Yue, and this is Chen Cang, Qin Yue¡¯s boyfriend!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t shy away from anything and straightforwardly introduced Chen Cang as Qin Yue¡¯s boyfriend.


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s words were also meant for Chen Cang, to let him know that he had received Old Qin¡¯s approval,


    In fact, this seemingly casual comment signified a lot and was very important, even rare, as it would at least leave a good impression on Chen Cang.


    Although this good feeling might seem insignificant, Old Qin simply hoped that Chen Cang would treat his daughter well in the future.


    The devil is in the details when it comes to human interactions.


    Indeed, after hearing this, Chen Cang felt a warm feeling in his heart.


    Because Qin Xiaoyuan could have simply introduced Chen Cang as Qin Yue¡¯s colleague, classmate, or friend, but introducing him as a boyfriend was different.


    Old Qin was the director of the Provincial Second Hospital, a genuine director-level official, and Ji Ruyun was the director of the Medical Insurance Center, also at the director level.


    Both were influential figures in the medical field of Anyang City.


    Introducing Chen Cang like this in front of others was an acknowledgment of Chen Cang.


    The moment Qin Xiang heard it, he immediately smiled: ¡°Director Qin, I know Little Chen. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s such a coincidence.¡±


    ¡°They really are a good match. Unexpectedly, Little Chen turns out to be the son-in-law of Director Qin. Director Qin, you¡¯re going to enjoy blessings in the future with such a son-in-law!¡±


    Qin Xiang¡¯s words made Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun unable to help but smile and not take it seriously.


    After all¡­ such polite remarks couldn¡¯t be taken at face value; who doesn¡¯t flatter a little when meeting someone?


    Besides, Little Chen is bound to be successful in the future, with a director father-in-law and a director mother-in-law. In Anyang City¡¯s medical community, he¡¯ll have the power to call the wind and summon the rain, and his career path in medicine is sure to be smooth.


    After exchanging pleasantries and sitting down, Qin Xiaoyuan got straight to the point: ¡°Director Qin, my wife wants to work on the wrinkles on her face, to get some minor cosmetic treatment. We were just talking about you; do you have any recommendations?¡±


    Qin Xiang looked at Qin Xiaoyuan with a puzzled expression, curious: ¡°Director Qin, you¡­ don¡¯t you have someone for that already? Why would you need me?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun exchanged glances, somewhat confused. What did he mean?


    ¡°What do you mean, Director Qin?¡±


    Seeing their expressions, Qin Xiang was taken aback: ¡°You really don¡¯t know?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan: ¡°Know what?¡±


    Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help saying: ¡°Little Chen, ah, Little Chen¡¯s cosmetic surgery skills are quite famous in our Anyang upper circles. He¡¯s known as the ¡®Million Yuan Plastic Surgeon¡¯.¡±

 Chapter 405 - Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Im so... really tired...

    Chapter 405: Chapter 405: I¡¯m so¡­ really tired¡­


    Qin Xiang¡¯s statement left the family rather befuddled.


    What does that mean?


    A millionaire plastic surgeon?


    The more they listened, the more confused they became.


    Qin Xiaoyuan muttered to himself, wondering if Qin Xiang had mistaken someone for another.


    Couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director Qin, are you talking about¡­¡±


    Qin Xiang slapped his forehead, glanced at Chen Cang, and then slowly said, ¡°Ah, Director Qin, it seems you really don¡¯t know!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang is a member of the Chinese Association of Plastic Surgeons, and he was personally invited by President Gong Daizhen.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, right now, Chen¡¯s surgery fees are probably the highest in An Yang City. His surgeries start at a minimum of 300,000 yuan, and just yesterday he performed five surgeries, each costing 1 million yuan!¡±


    ¡°Now, Chen Cang is our An Yang City¡¯s millionaire plastic surgeon!¡±


    ¡°Right, just yesterday, to watch Chen perform surgery, President Gong flew all the way here, and even invited Xiao Chen to join his research team as a technical consultant, ranking third in the team. That project is worth 30 million yuan and is part of the national plastic surgery plan.¡±


    Upon saying this, Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, ¡°So I say, you have a talent right in front of you but instead, you come to me for plastic surgery. Isn¡¯t this¡­ overlooking the obvious in search of the exotic?¡±


    His words astonished all three!


    Old Qin was utterly dumbfounded, Ji Ruyun was full of curiosity, and Qin Xiaotian looked up in admiration.


    Qin Xiaoyuan found it hard to believe; five million yuan from surgeries yesterday¡­ My God, could I earn five million in ten years?


    Thinking about it, Qin Xiaoyuan felt his scalp tingle.


    He knew plastic surgeons made money, but¡­ one million yuan per surgery? That wasn¡¯t making money, that was practically robbery.


    Just now, he had said Chen Cang was twenty years away from success, but¡­ from just a few surgeries yesterday, the money for a house was in the bag!


    How much money would that be in twenty years?


    Old Qin couldn¡¯t count that high.


    But to Ji Ruyun, it wasn¡¯t about the money anymore. She never expected her future son-in-law to be so outstanding!


    And to think he was the most skilled plastic surgeon in An Yang City.


    No wonder he said earlier that he was proficient.


    So that¡¯s why!


    Then¡­ taking care of her face in the future and such would be no problem, right?


    At this moment, Ji Ruyun found herself more and more fond of Chen Cang.


    However¡­ a question promptly dawned on Qin Xiaoyuan!


    Chen Cang said he had only been studying for just over two months. Could such an achievement be possible in that time frame?


    Old Qin hastily said, ¡°Director Qin, you¡¯re not joking, are you? Chen has only been studying plastic surgery for a bit over two months. How can it be so exaggerated?¡±


    At this point, Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Director Qin, let me tell you the truth. In the plastic surgery industry, it¡¯s not only skill that matters but talent that is tested even more. Xiao Chen has a natural understanding and talent for plastic surgery that is the best I have seen! And there¡¯s more¡­¡±


    ¡°So, for Vice Director Ji¡¯s wrinkle removal, I think Xiao Chen is the most suitable choice!¡±


    Qin Xiang praised Chen Cang tirelessly and with full force!


    Qin Yue listened with an exhilarating surge of emotion!


    Turns out her Chen Cang oppa is so awesome!


    She always thought Chen Cang was only skilled in routine surgeries and great in emergency situations, but to think¡­ he was also this amazing in plastic surgery.


    A millionaire plastic surgeon, no less!


    Just imaging it filled her with pride.


    And to think¡­ he could earn such tidy sums.


    How many hot pots, how many milk teas would one million equal?


    Qin Yue felt a bit dazzled, slightly inflated.


    Thinking of the days to come, she couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Chen Cang is awesome!


    At that time, Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang with stars in her eyes, wondering what other ¡°special skills¡± he had kept secret from her.


    Qin Yue¡¯s curiosity was itching at her heart, unbearably so ¨C she was nearly suffering from ¡°curious pericarditis¡±!


    ¡­


    Qin Xiang stayed for only a few minutes before he left. After all, he was there to eat and others were waiting for him.


    Qin Xiaoyuan and the others didn¡¯t feel it right to linger too long; after some pleasantries, they took their leave.


    In the end, Qin Xiang greeted Chen Cang before leaving.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After they left, the three members of the Qin family stared at Chen Cang, their faces filled with confusion.


    To tell the truth, they had all been deceived by Chen Cang¡¯s unassuming demeanor!


    That¡¯s right!


    Everyone thought Chen Cang was just a down-to-earth and reliable doctor with a natural talent for surgery.


    But they hadn¡¯t expected Chen Cang to be such a dark horse.


    Frankly, a single day¡¯s worth of surgeries earning five million had terrified the family.


    In An Yang City, who could earn money like that!


    Qin Xiaoyuan realized that this young man was playing the fool to catch the wise.


    All three of them were stunned by Chen Cang.


    It really is!


    Everyone was still thinking about buying a house for Qin Yue, to relieve some of Chen Cang¡¯s pressure.


    But who would have thought that the guy buys a house a day¡­


    Old Qin finally understood what Qin Xiang meant, they could finally enjoy an easy life¡­


    The following time passed very pleasantly.


    Everyone was very happy.


    Qin Xiaotian was very sensible in serving Chen Cang tea and water, very housewifely.


    Seeing this made Qin Xiaoyuan roll her eyes nonstop, this girl really knows how to play both sides, elbowing outwards, shunning poverty and loving wealth¡­ that kind of thing!


    Ji Ruyun and Chen Cang were discussing the details of wrinkle removal in depth.


    Chen Cang explained patiently and made an appointment to take good care of Ji Ruyun¡¯s facial wrinkles and give her a bit of rejuvenation.


    Ji Ruyun was very excited and happy.


    So was Qin Yue.


    The only one was Qin Xiaoyuan, drinking tea by herself, silently lamenting: Family status -1!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After the group left the restaurant, Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun were heading home, and Qin Yue looked curiously at Chen Cang, clutching his big hand unabashedly, which caused Qin Xiaoyuan to furrow her brows. But after glancing at Ji Ruyun beside her and thinking it over, she decided not to speak out of anger!


    After all, Chen Cang was now the star in Ji Ruyun¡¯s eyes, not someone to provoke¡­


    She¡¯d wait until they had time to go to the hospital to settle the score with him.


    After all, a little personal vendetta mixed with public affairs didn¡¯t have any downsides.


    After thinking it through, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but smile a little, feeling much more relieved.


    To be honest, Qin Yue now had a belly full of questions for Chen Cang, and she had been holding them in for too long.


    But she couldn¡¯t talk about it in front of her parents.


    No sooner had Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun gotten into the car,


    ¡°Chen Cang, when do you perform surgeries the most, and which surgeries do you perform the best?¡± Qin Yue asked out of curiosity.


    Chen Cang thought for a while, recalling the only two perfect surgeries he had done, and told the truth, ¡°Emmmm¡­ I¡¯m best at performing appendectomies, and then repairing tendons is also not bad.¡±


    As soon as Qin Yue heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes, ¡°I¡¯m talking about plastic surgeries! Oh right¡­ what kind of surgery costs a million!¡±


    Chen Cang coughed and hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should say it? Could he even say it?


    But seeing Qin Yue staring at him excitedly, he said, ¡°Not suitable for children.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue became immediately annoyed and embarrassed, ¡°You¡¯re the child!¡±


    While speaking, she puffed out her chest!


    Chen Cang glanced at it and muttered: It has gotten a bit bigger¡­


    ¡°Spit it out, what kind of surgery is it? Is it hymenoplasty?¡± As soon as Qin Yue heard ¡®Not suitable for children¡¯, she seemed even more excited and asked with bated breath, full of anticipation.


    Chen Cang, seeing Qin Yue¡¯s gossip-hungry expression, asked, ¡°Are you sure you want to know?¡±


    Qin Yue blinked her big eyes and nodded earnestly!


    Chen Cang: ¡°Long Bear surgery!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue instinctively looked down at herself and then at Chen Cang, who was looking at her mockingly, and her face turned red.


    ¡°Pervert!¡±


    Having said that, Qin Yue walked ahead.


    Chen Cang suddenly froze and hurriedly followed, ¡°Hey hey hey, why are you angry all of a sudden?¡±


    Qin Yue didn¡¯t look back or say a word.


    Chen Cang then said, ¡°I¡¯m talking about surgery¡­ In a doctor¡¯s eyes, there are only patients, nothing else¡­ Ah, how can I be a pervert!¡±


    Chen Cang chased after her, but Qin Yue wouldn¡¯t turn back.


    Finally, after who knows how long and after Chen Cang bought a cup of milk tea, Qin Yue¡¯s anger eased.


    ¡°I swear, I wasn¡¯t having any dirty thoughts; isn¡¯t it just like a surgery?¡± Chen Cang panted as he explained.


    Qin Yue¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Can it be the same?¡±


    Chen Cang swore, ¡°Absolutely the same!¡±


    Qin Yue lowered her voice, looking all mysterious, ¡°Having seen so much¡­ haven¡¯t you ever felt¡­ that way?¡±


    While speaking, she stretched out her right hand and flicked her finger¡­ to suggest something.


    Chen Cang suddenly felt ashamed; who was the real pervert here?


    Chen Cang patted his chest, ¡°I swear on my honor, a doctor¡¯s heart is benevolent, definitely not, what are you thinking, big sister!¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s expression changed again, ¡°You¡¯re calling me big sister, are you saying I¡¯m old!¡±


    Chen Cang was close to tears, ¡°Not at all! You¡¯re so young, so cute, how could you be old!¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s expression changed once more, ¡°You despise me for being young! I¡¯m going to kill you, Chen Cang!¡±


    Chen Cang was helpless, really, I¡¯m so tired¡­

    PS: Well, here are two more chapters. The brief weekend is over, and tomorrow it¡¯s back to the busy life at the hospital (from the book¡¯s timeline).


    Thank you to ¡°First Love As Dazzling As Summer Flowers¡±, and ¡°xianzhea¡± for their generous rewards, and thank you to the two new helmsmen for their support.

 Chapter 406 - Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Youre the Warmth and Coldness of All Seasons!

    Chapter 406: Chapter 406: You¡¯re the Warmth and Coldness of All Seasons!


    An Yanjun¡¯s night shift was filled with reflections as he sat in the office of the emergency department.


    It had been a blink of an eye since he joined the Provincial Second Hospital; ten years had flown by. During that time, he had worked as an emergency physician and had learned all sorts of skills.


    Originally trained in hand surgery, An Yanjun felt that, at the age of forty, he was increasingly straying off his path.


    In reality, this was normal. It was in their year that medical posts aligned skill sets¡ªmost people learned technical skills as needed by their posts, filling in wherever there were shortfalls.


    An Yanjun had thought he would retire as an emergency physician, but unexpectedly, at forty, he found himself returning to the stage of hand surgery.


    ¡°Dr. An! Thank you so much, my daughter¡¯s hand has improved a lot, and the function is recovering very well now!¡±


    ¡°Director An, I really can¡¯t thank you enough. My mom¡¯s hand no longer affects her when cooking!¡±


    ¡°Director An¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Recalling the ¡°medals¡± he had received during this period, An Yanjun felt incredibly content.


    At seven in the evening, after finally getting through a busy afternoon, Xiao Lin couldn¡¯t help but ask An Yanjun, who was sitting in the office, ¡°Director An, do you want me to get you some food?¡±


    An Yanjun turned around and smiled, ¡°No need.¡±


    Xiao Lin giggled, ¡°All right!¡±


    Chang Lina sighed beside them, ¡°If you ask me, the happiest person in our department has to be Director An. He leads a comfortable life; his wife always brings him food on his weekend shifts.¡±


    At that moment, a woman wearing a mask and carrying a lunch box walked in, dressed in a white striped checkered shirt with simple jeans, her hair a bit messy from the wind.


    ¡°Wow, speak of the devil and she appears. What delicious food did you make for Director An today, sister-in-law?¡± Chang Lina approached with a grin.


    The woman¡¯s name was He Li, a sales associate working at a large shopping mall.


    He Li had finished middle school when she and An Yanjun, from the same township, were desk mates in junior high. At that time, they had already started their secret romance, and after more than twenty years, their relationship was still strong.


    He Li was enthusiastic and hospitable, and even a bit chivalrous¡ªmuch more outgoing than the seemingly gentle and scholarly An Yanjun.


    ¡°Everyone can eat together; I¡¯m off today, so I made some extra dishes,¡± she said, opening the insulated lunch box and starting to serve food.


    A few people gathered around and were about to enjoy a lively meal.


    But An Yanjun had just picked up his chopsticks when he heard an intern nurse outside say, ¡°Director An, the old gentleman in bed 31 of the observation room is constipated. He has been in the bathroom for quite some time and can¡¯t go.¡±


    The word seemed out of place, as constipation and meals didn¡¯t mix well, but everyone was already accustomed to it.


    An Yanjun frowned upon hearing this; bed 31¡¯s patient had hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and a previous cerebral infarction. Constipation¡­ could be problematic.


    As people age, their intestinal motility declines, and constipation is common. For most people, constipation is not a big deal.


    But for those with underlying conditions like hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and history of strokes, constipation meant trouble!


    Not to mention the patients with constipation-induced heart attacks still fresh in memory.


    Every year, an appreciable number of strokes were caused by constipation.


    An Yanjun quickly stood up, ¡°Wife, you stay here for a while, I¡¯ll go have a look.¡±


    As he spoke, he walked out, followed by the nurse Chang Lina and Xiao Lin.


    To tell the truth, there were many elderly people with constipation, and the emergency department routinely offered enemas or laxatives to aid bowel movements, but both methods often proved ineffective against stubborn cases in older patients.


    Upon arriving at the ward, they found the old man sitting on the toilet, his face red and his neck bulging as if exerting effort, but to no avail.


    An old lady by his side watched anxiously, her face filled with concern.


    An Yanjun looked at the old lady and asked indifferently, ¡°How long has he been constipated?¡±


    The old lady blushed, ¡°Maybe over twenty minutes?¡±


    An Yanjun, visibly annoyed, said sternly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call us? The elderly are prone to worsening heart and brain conditions if constipated for a long time. In the future, call a doctor first when this happens.¡±


    Hearing An Yanjun¡¯s reprimanding tone, the old lady wasn¡¯t offended; instead, she felt a warmth in her heart.


    She was a bit embarrassed, ¡°We saw that you were eating, and talking about this¡­ it¡¯s rather embarrassing.¡±


    An Yanjun shook his head, gave the old lady some advice, then pondered for a moment. Seeing how hard the elder was struggling, he knew that persisting in this way was not a solution.


    He stepped out to the nurses¡¯ station and, after a few seconds, returned with disposable gloves on his hands.


    As he entered the restroom, the old lady¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Doctor¡­ no! It¡¯s too mortifying, I can handle it.¡±


    An Yanjun shook his head, ¡°Let me do it.¡±


    And with that, he proceeded without further discussion.


    Honestly, such work might seem extraordinary, but it¡¯s quite common in emergency departments where many doctors and nurses have done it before.


    Take, for example, a recent news story.


    A doctor on a plane sucked urine with his mouth to help a patient; this is something most people could not bring themselves to do.


    So why do you think other doctors are reluctant to work in emergency? It¡¯s dirty!


    It¡¯s chaotic!


    It¡¯s busy!


    And it¡¯s troublesome!


    About two minutes later, An Yanjun emerged from the restroom, having discarded the gloves.


    The old lady hurried to help the elderly man get up and then to get his pants on.


    The old man, stepping out of the bathroom, felt much more relieved, his skin tone no longer ashen as before, his whole body at ease. Embarrassed but grateful, he said, ¡°Thank you, Director An, really¡­ thank you so much!¡±


    Honestly, the old man was deeply touched. Such dirty work might even be shunned by his own children, after all¡­ well!


    And yet, a stranger like Director An never showed any disgust; it was truly¡­ indescribable.


    The old man¡¯s heart was warmed by the gesture.


    This appreciation was from the bottom of his heart.


    An Yanjun, looking at the old lady, advised, ¡°Eat more vegetables and fruits in the coming days. Boil the fruits if you can¡¯t eat them cold. If you feel constipated, use some laxatives before it gets worse. The stools I just removed were as hard as rocks, and this can¡¯t continue long-term.¡±


    ¡°The elderly patient has underlying medical conditions. Although constipation seems like a simple digestive system disorder, it can cause blood pressure spikes, cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, and even result in sudden death.¡±


    An Yanjun was like that, he would state the issues very seriously with the truth because he was worried that patients wouldn¡¯t take their conditions seriously enough, and he wanted them to pay more attention.


    But these were all truths.


    The old lady¡¯s face changed color, to tell the truth, she was actually somewhat scared and quickly made note, ¡°Okay, okay, thank you, Director An. I¡¯ll definitely remember this.¡±


    After speaking, she held Director An¡¯s hands with both of hers, gratefully looking at An Yanjun, ¡°Director An, I¡¯ve troubled you, please go get some food.¡±


    An Yanjun washed his hands, then went back to eating as usual.


    Perhaps many people think it¡¯s dirty, but what constitutes dirty has its own standards in the eyes of a doctor.


    Are hotels clean? They look very shiny and beautiful.


    Are hospital wards clean? They appear old and worn out!


    Actually, the cleanliness in the eyes of doctors is about the absence of pathogenic bacteria, not the absence of bacteria and so on, not just about looking shiny and beautiful.


    Hospital wards, observation rooms, and intensive care units, even including bedding like sheets and quilt covers, need to be regularly disinfected and sterilized.


    After An Yanjun came back, He Li smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re busy, so I¡¯ll head off first. Remember to bring the thermos back tomorrow, the child is doing homework at home.¡±


    An Yanjun hastily rose to walk her to the emergency department entrance, where He Li got on her electric bike, ¡°Ah, you go back, I¡¯m off.¡±


    With a wave of her hand, she left.


    It wasn¡¯t until He Li¡¯s electric bike disappeared from view that An Yanjun turned around.


    Chang Lina sighed beside him, ¡°Ah, how wonderful! I envy you¡­¡±


    At that moment, an intern nurse couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director An, what does your sister-in-law do for a living?¡±


    An Yanjun smiled, ¡°She sells clothes at a department store, quite a tough job.¡±


    After listening, the young nurse didn¡¯t say anything, but she thought to herself that it¡¯s no wonder she¡¯s so good to Director An¡­


    After all, in her eyes, An Yanjun is the deputy director of a provincial hospital, an impressive figure, and even a future director, while He Li is just a sales clerk, a job anyone could do. In her view of value, it seemed unequal.


    So to her, He Li¡¯s kindness to An Yanjun was out of fear that An Yanjun might leave her one day since, in her eyes, An Yanjun¡¯s status and position were far superior to hers.


    At this time, noticing the intern nurse¡¯s thoughts, An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Compared to your sister-in-law, what I¡¯ve contributed and given to this family is truly less than hers.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chang Lina suddenly became interested. Director An was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, yet he rarely talked about his family matters and didn¡¯t speak much usually.


    Unable to resist, she asked, ¡°Director An, you¡¯ve never mentioned this before. Tell us young folks about it.¡±


    An Yanjun actually didn¡¯t like to talk about his personal matters, especially family issues. He wasn¡¯t much of a talker in the first place, nor did he participate much in gossip.


    ¡°I¡¯ve known your sister-in-law for more than twenty years, been with her for just as long. We¡¯re from the same town, sat at the same desk in junior high. She wasn¡¯t keen on studying, but she¡¯s actually very smart. However, she has older and younger brothers who also needed to go to school. Back then, in the countryside, we simply couldn¡¯t afford to educate three kids.¡±


    ¡°We were together back then, but secretly, afraid to tell anyone. As soon as junior high was over, your sister-in-law quit school to work. Wherever I went to study, she¡¯d go to that city to work.¡±


    ¡°She earned money but skimped on food and clothes, sending it all back home for her brothers¡¯ education and saving some for my studies. At that time, I vowed to give her a better life in the future.¡±


    ¡°Later on, when I attended university, it was considered bringing honor to the village and quite an accomplishment. At that time, your sister-in-law was both happy and scared. While she was joyful about me getting into university, she also feared that one day I would leave her. Although she¡¯s forthright and never said it, she never visited me at school, worried that my classmates would look down on me if they saw her.¡±


    Listening to this, Chang Lina and a few other young nurses felt a twinge in their noses.


    Even An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.


    ¡°My sister-in-law was actually very pretty in her twenties, but she¡­ never dressed up, loathed to spend money on new clothes. Instead, she saved to buy clothes and books for me. She didn¡¯t know many characters and was afraid she would fall behind one day. She heard somewhere that she might lose common language with me, so after work she would help out at a bookstore¡­ read more books. Over the years, she has bought more books for the house than I have.¡±


    ¡°After I graduated from university, I actually wanted to start working. But she insisted that I take the graduate school exam. I saw how hard she worked and didn¡¯t want to take the exam. Back then, we could still arrange jobs.¡±


    ¡°But she heard some theory from who knows where, insisting I attend graduate school. We argued several times over this matter, but each time it came to nothing. In the end, she laid down an ultimatum. If I didn¡¯t make it into graduate school, she would break up with me.¡±


    At this point, An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help but sniffle, visibly moved.


    ¡°Later, after I graduated from graduate school, I was assigned to Dongda Second Hospital¡¯s hand surgery department. There were many people at my workplace who wanted to set me up with someone. When your sister-in-law found out about this, she cried secretly every day. But whenever she saw me, she smiled like a flower.¡±


    ¡°To tell the truth, we had been together for about fifteen years by that time. We had already gotten used to the presence of each other. If I truly lost her, I wouldn¡¯t even know if I¡¯d deserved to be called a person. The next year, when I had just started working and saved up over five thousand yuan, we got married.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s also good. We¡¯ve come so far over so many years, through all kinds of weather. Now our child is already twelve years old. Time flies, doesn¡¯t it?¡±


    A speech like that moved the young nurses somewhat. This kind of love, where each supports and provides shelter for the other, is enviable at any time.


    It is by no means easy for a woman to do this.


    In a society flushed with material desires, how many true feelings are silently being offered.


    At this moment, how could these young nurses look down on He Li?


    Recalling the woman who had just walked in, plain in dress, smiling and generous, they suddenly felt she was incredible!


    All they could do was silently bless: people like you deserve happiness! You deserve to grow old together!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the past decade or so, it was He Li who silently gave.


    An Yanjun had sworn early on in his heart,


    For the rest of his life,


    Winter¡¯s snow is you,


    Spring¡¯s flowers are you,


    Summer¡¯s rain is you,


    Autumn¡¯s gold is you,


    All seasons¡¯ warmth and cold are you.


    This man, An Yanjun, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, harbors a fire in his heart, a flame that burns fiercely only for He Li, to drive away the cold for her.


    ¡­¡­¡­


    PS: Let me mention a thing, with winter here, the air becomes quite dry. It¡¯s the high season for constipation, even people who don¡¯t usually suffer from it may experience constipation, and for those who do, it can worsen.


    Constipation is one of the high-risk factors for the elderly in inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as heart attacks, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, etc.


    If you have elderly people at home with underlying diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, etc., please pay extra attention to them and remind them more often.


    Every year, there are many cases of constipation inducing heart attacks and cerebral infarctions. I hope everyone will take this seriously.


    Of course, as a suggestion, you can eat some white radish to help with bowel movements. Traditional Chinese medicine says that eating radishes in winter and ginger in summer is beneficial. Eating radishes in winter is good, but don¡¯t overdo it. Eat more fruits and vegetables (as mentioned in the text).

 Chapter 407 - Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Kindness Will Not Be Late

    Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Kindness Will Not Be Late


    The old man and the old lady sat in the guardian¡¯s room, chatting softly.


    Both of them were in their late sixties this year, not yet seventy, but because of years of toil, they appeared older. It had been hard, but their children had finally made it, and their good days had gradually begun to ease.


    The old man sat there and heaved a sigh of relief, saying incessantly, ¡°Ah, there are still more good people than not!¡±


    ¡°Even my daughter and son think I¡¯m dirty, but Director An doesn¡¯t mind at all. He used his hand to help me out, really¡­ Ah, such a good person!¡±


    Indeed, anyone who experienced such an event would be endlessly grateful¡­


    With his back against the bed, the old man was filled with emotion, while the old lady seemed to have something on her mind, sitting there without saying a word, her face a bit flushed and feverish.


    Seeing his wife silent, the old man couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Old woman, what¡¯s the matter with you? Not talking?¡±


    The old lady was a bit embarrassed and didn¡¯t have the courage to speak, thinking about what had happened in the past, she felt somewhat remorseful.


    Noticing something was off, the old man couldn¡¯t help but turn around and saw her face was extremely red.


    He was startled, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Your face is so red, I¡¯ll call a doctor for you!¡±


    Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly grabbed the old man, ¡°What are you doing, sit here and be quiet for a while!¡±


    The old man didn¡¯t understand, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you? You¡¯ve got to speak up!¡±


    The old lady couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°This Director An¡­ I¡¯ve met him before!¡±


    The old man was momentarily stunned, ¡°When was that?¡±


    The old lady spoke the truth, from the moment she saw An Yanjun, her face turned red. She had seen this man before, and¡­ the impression was deep.


    The old lady then said, ¡°Ten years ago, but¡­ not in this hospital, it was at Dongda Second Hospital.¡±


    Upon hearing it was ten years ago, the old man had already forgotten, he was working away from home at that time, returning only once every six months. Back then, their youngest son was at college, the eldest hadn¡¯t married yet, and with the heavy family burden, the old man had gone to the capital to work on the subway construction with his fellow workers, completely unaware of the incident his wife mentioned.


    The old lady let out a long sigh, ¡°About this matter¡­ I didn¡¯t tell you at all, you were still in the capital. I didn¡¯t want you to worry. I was washing dishes at home, didn¡¯t notice the water on the floor, and fell down, landing on my wrist!¡±


    ¡°I couldn¡¯t lift my arm because it hurt so much, but I couldn¡¯t bear the thought of going to the hospital. It got worse after a day, so I went to Dongda First Hospital. As it turned out, it was Dr. An who treated me.¡±


    ¡°He took an X-ray of my wrist, which showed no fracture and nothing serious. He prescribed some medicine and told me to go home and rest.¡±


    ¡°But¡­ the next day when I got up, I still couldn¡¯t lift my arm, so I went to the emergency room. A check showed a minor fracture in the elbow joint.¡±


    ¡°At that time, I was quite upset, feeling like the young doctor had misdiagnosed me and caused me to spend extra money. I was so angry that I reported the young Dr. An to the medical affairs department.¡±


    ¡°Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t serious and didn¡¯t need surgery. The hospital gave me a free cast and prescribed plenty of medicine.¡±


    ¡°Actually¡­ it was because I didn¡¯t make my condition clear. Ah¡­ I even complained about Dr. An, really¡­¡±


    At this point, the old lady felt quite embarrassed, after all, she had taken the young Dr. An to the medical affairs department back then. For a young doctor, that would also be an unfavorable record.


    At that moment, the old lady said, ¡°Later on, after about a year or so, I cut my hand while chopping vegetables, and I rushed to the hospital. It just so happened I ran into Dr. An again!¡±


    ¡°However, he probably didn¡¯t remember me, but I¡­ I remembered him. When I saw him, I felt really embarrassed and was about to leave, to switch to a different doctor.¡±


    ¡°But after examining me, Dr. An told me that my tendon was severed and that I needed surgery.¡±


    ¡°Our family was going through tough times then, barely making ends meet. How could I afford surgery, there was simply no money! I just told him to disinfect the wound and wrap it up and leave it at that!¡±


    Dr. An explained to me for a long time about the importance of the tendon¡­ but there was just no money at home!¡±


    ¡°Determined, I pulled out my handkerchief. Dr. An saw me taking out a handkerchief filled with small change from my pocket, he immediately understood, but¡­ he was also worried about not sewing the tendon, but I really didn¡¯t have enough money¡­¡±


    ¡°Later, Dr. An still stitched me up in the treatment room. He paid for the tendon suturing materials himself; I remember clearly, it only cost twenty-five yuan for the bandaging fee and five yuan for the registration fee.¡±


    ¡°I was so embarrassed at the time, but I didn¡¯t have the courage to tell Dr. An that it was me who had complained about him earlier. I had no money to show my gratitude, so I just ran off, and I never dared to go back to Dongda Second Hospital, afraid I¡¯d run into Dr. An!¡±


    At this, the old man was also bewildered, not expecting such a turn of events.


    The old lady sat there, silent for a long time.


    It was the same for both of them!


    After a while, the old lady finally said, ¡°Ah¡­ it must be fate that I¡¯m here to repay a debt of gratitude. I thought I¡¯d never see Dr. An again, but I didn¡¯t expect to come across this situation today.¡±


    They were silent for a long time.


    After a while, the old man stood up, put on his slippers, and looked at his wife and said.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. We should be straight, Director An is a good person, and we have to make things clear. If we need to apologize, we will apologize. Later we¡¯ll call Baoshan to prepare a gift for Director An tomorrow. Tonight we have to speak up.¡±


    The old man was an honest person who couldn¡¯t keep things to himself. Hearing his wife¡¯s words, he immediately got up and wanted to go.


    The elderly auntie, upon hearing this, became somewhat flustered but still rose to her feet.


    The two of them entered the office uneasily, where An Yanjun was genuinely reading a book.


    The old man approached with a sheepish smile, ¡°Director An, I hope I¡¯m not disturbing you?¡±


    An Yanjun put down the book and nodded, ¡°Mmm, what¡¯s up? Are you feeling unwell?¡±


    The old man shook his head, saying with embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m here to thank Director An, really, I¡¯m quite ashamed.¡±


    An Yanjun smiled and shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    The old man gave the elderly auntie a meaningful glance, and then she slowly began, ¡°Dr. An, I¡¯ve got something to tell you, please don¡¯t be mad at me!¡±


    An Yanjun looked puzzled, gazing curiously at the elderly auntie, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Her face turned red, and she spoke in a tiny voice, ¡°I¡­ back when I was at Dong Da Second Hospital, I filed a complaint against you¡­¡±


    ¡°It was eleven years ago. I had hurt my wrist again, and you treated me, saying it was nothing serious¡­ The next day my elbow hurt, so I went to the emergency room, where they found a slight fracture in my elbow. I was a bit angry, so I reported you to the medical affairs department, saying you had missed my diagnosis. Back then¡­ I hadn¡¯t explained my situation clearly, and you were just trying to save me money, so¡­ the fault was mine!¡±


    Upon hearing this, An Yanjun instantly recalled the incident.


    He had just started working at the time, lacking in experience and clinical expertise, and that incident had a significant impact on him!


    It even played an inseparable role in shaping the character he later developed.


    An Yanjun became very meticulous precisely because, as a young man, that incident had such a profound effect on him.


    Indeed, it was this very incident that led An Yanjun to develop his current thorough work attitude.


    Back then, doctor-patient conflicts weren¡¯t as tense as they are now, so¡­ An Yanjun wasn¡¯t punished since everyone made mistakes occasionally, and the medical system wasn¡¯t perfect at that time.


    After listening, An Yanjun quickly shook his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t blame yourself for this event. To tell you the truth, I should thank you for it.¡±


    What An Yanjun said was heartfelt.


    Without experience, there can be no growth. Over the years, his meticulous nature had indeed saved him from a fair share of troubles!


    After a moment, the elderly auntie continued, ¡°There was another incident later on¡­ I cut my finger while chopping vegetables and ended up in the hospital where I encountered you. I¡­ I didn¡¯t dare mention that I had complained about you. Seeing I had no money and not wanting to leave me unattended, you sutured my tendon for free, even paying for the suture material out of your own pocket¡­ I am truly grateful.¡±


    ¡°I thought about thanking you afterwards, but when I went to Dong Da Second Hospital I couldn¡¯t find you; they said you had switched positions¡­ ah¡­¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet you again today, and to personally help our old man with¡­¡±


    ¡°Dr. An, it was my foolishness back then, I hope I haven¡¯t caused you too much trouble.¡±


    After listening, An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Alright, uncle, auntie, you should head home and rest early, don¡¯t worry about it, this is what I should do.¡±


    The old man shook his head, ¡°No, Director An, one should reciprocate kindness. We may be uneducated, but we have heard a few wise words from our ancestors.¡±


    With that, the old man pulled his wife over and gave An Yanjun a sincere bow.


    ¡°Director An, you are a good person, we will never forget your kindness!¡±


    ¡­


    Sometimes, life is just such a coincidence, filled with twists and turns even in the ordinary, and anything can affect our growth.


    But kindness will never be late.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: These two chapters are about Director An Yanjun¡¯s past. He is a very real person. I, as an author, have limited abilities and might not capture everything perfectly.


    Perhaps some think I¡¯m being too idealistic in my writing, but isn¡¯t it within my power to depict selfishness?


    Yet there are some things I hope to soften with my own abilities, such as the doctor-patient relationship, adding a bit of warmth to the cold winter.


    Though I have resigned and am now at home, I really hope that every doctor will abide by medical ethics with compassion and uphold the moral foundations of their profession to be good doctors.


    Also, I wish to do my part, however small, to alleviate the current tense medical environment and the increasingly strained doctor-patient relationships with characters and stories from within the industry.


    I believe that kindness is never too late!


    There are still the lives and pasts of characters like Chen Bingsheng, Shi Na, Li Baoshan, and others to come.


    This is a lengthy novel, and I hope to see the characters through from beginning to end!


    Cough cough¡­ Though it¡¯s only two chapters, it¡¯s 7,000 words, more than what three chapters would usually contain. Splitting them up seemed incoherent, but I¡¯m sure you all understand my intent. Yes, that¡¯s right!

 Chapter 408 - Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Steal from Old Chen!

    Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Steal from Old Chen!


    Chen Cang was no longer in charge of patients, no longer had to do rounds at fixed times every day, and no longer had to write tedious medical records.


    His time was relatively free, mostly dealing with emergencies in the ER, arranging surgeries, and so on.


    However, most of the time, in order to observe patients¡¯ postoperative conditions and conduct postoperative efficacy assessments, he would still do rounds, but basically accompanied by the attending doctor.


    After handing over the shift, Old Chen handed a pile of over a dozen medical records to Chen Cang, ¡°Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s time for rounds.¡±


    Chen Cang, out of habit, held the stack of medical records when suddenly a thought crossed his mind, that¡¯s not right!


    ¡°Boss, I protest, I have an objection, I¡¯m no longer your subordinate physician! You can¡¯t treat me like this¡­¡±


    Chen Bingsheng gave an ¡°oh,¡± ¡°I know, then what?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    He was suddenly at a loss for words.


    Right¡­


    Then what?


    It seemed that he couldn¡¯t find any reason!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, alright then¡­


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately accepted the task, and suddenly felt, emmmm¡­ actually quite nice.


    Chen Cang suddenly felt that the system was very considerate, feeling very comfortable and enjoying every task, even though the rewards were small, but the feeling was really great.


    Actually, if everyone in life had such a system, perhaps everyone would work harder even if it meant being more tired and enduring hardship?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Among Chen Bingsheng¡¯s patients, many had undergone surgery performed by Chen Cang himself, and upon seeing Chen Cang and Chen Bingsheng walk in, they were quite happy, each getting up to express their thanks.


    After all, the success of their surgeries was quite a celebratory matter.


    However, now the rounds were different from before¡ªChen Cang was no longer the ¡°random passerby¡± or ¡°intern B.¡±


    Even though he still carried around the medical record as before, the patients¡¯ attitudes towards him had undergone a stark change.


    After all, Chen Cang was now the attending surgeon for many patients who, upon looking at their incisions, felt extremely satisfied.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, if it weren¡¯t for the pain from the incision, I wouldn¡¯t even remember I had surgery¡ªthe way you handled the wound, it¡¯s really great!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, Doctor Chen, I feel like my surgical wounds are healing quite quickly!¡±


    ¡­


    Hearing the patients¡¯ words, Old Chen knew they definitely weren¡¯t praising him, better not to agree, or it would be awkward.


    Chen Cang, wearing a mask, showed no particular expression, asked a few questions, looked at the wounds, and continued on his rounds.


    After leaving the patient¡¯s room, Chen Bingsheng pulled Chen Cang aside, ¡°Young Chen, wait¡­ Do you have any plans this morning?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, realizing he didn¡¯t actually have any surgeries scheduled for the morning, ¡°Nothing, what¡¯s up, boss?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng pondered for a moment before clearing his throat, ¡°Well, I have two laparoscopic surgeries this morning. Can you teach me how to deal with minimally invasive incisions under a laparoscope? I think they look quite impressive.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment!


    There¡¯s such an operation?


    A mutual learning task?


    Not bad at all!


    Even if there were no rewards, Chen Cang would have taught Old Chen the minimally invasive incision surgery wholeheartedly, but to get an added bonus for it, an icing on the cake, that was definitely irresistible.


    With that in mind, Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Of course, no problem at all.¡±


    People really are quite different from one another.


    When Chen Cang first developed the minimally invasive small incision technique, the hospital took it quite seriously, and had many surgeons come to learn it, but most of them left after watching once or twice.


    Many people didn¡¯t take it seriously at all!


    Perhaps they thought it was a trivial matter.


    After all, the wounds under laparoscopy are already very small, so everyone felt there was no point in further reducing their size, and besides, many even thought Chen Cang and Wang Yong were just two inexperienced youngsters, and some couldn¡¯t swallow their pride.


    Probably just to appease the director¡¯s urging, they took a look and went through the motions, then left, not caring at all.


    This even caused Chen Cang¡¯s work at the time to go down the drain, earning him no rewards.


    It was actually quite commendable for Chen Bingsheng to take the initiative to learn.


    The two of them went to the operating room together, and just as they arrived, Liu Jian came out, smiling at them.


    ¡°Yo, little Chen, are you shadowing old Chen in surgery again?¡±


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°No, no, no, Teacher Liu, this time it¡¯s old Chen who¡¯s shadowing me!¡±


    Uh-huh, no surprise, a light slap landed on his head.


    Liu Jian laughed as well, ¡°You rascal, always so glib, but you should learn more from old Chen, he¡¯s got a lot of skills.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, he couldn¡¯t deny that.


    After all, he himself still wasn¡¯t dealing with high-level cases, and could only scrape by with assists; it was nice to sit in on big surgeries with old Chen, just in case¡­ he could snatch some skills?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang silently set a little goal for himself, to learn everything from old Chen!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After some preparations, Liu Jian successfully administered anesthesia.


    The surgery began, and Chen Cang took the lead with the scalpel, saying to Chen Bingsheng, ¡°Big brother, the core of the minimally invasive small incision technique actually lies in the handling of the cut, the most important thing is the choice of incision. The first thing to think about is what kind of incision is appropriate, then the precision of the cut, including what needs to be considered for suturing later on¡­¡±


    Chen Bingsheng listened attentively and wasn¡¯t embarrassed at all; after all, when learning, one must ask for advice humbly.


    Since laparoscopic surgery is done under general anesthesia, the two of them talked quite openly; if the patient woke up, they would be panicked for sure.


    Old Chen¡¯s ¡®incision¡¯ skill was at a master level, and he understood deeply what Chen Cang said, but it was ultimately a matter of concept, which would take some time to adapt to.


    And minimally invasive small incisions also need to take into consideration the later suturing, even having to make incisions according to the angle of suturing to prepare in advance.


    The first surgery was initiated and sutured by Chen Cang, and in the second one, old Chen was eager to try. Although the results were much worse compared to Chen Cang¡¯s, it was still¡­ an improvement from his own initial suturing.


    After finishing two surgeries, old Chen had other surgeries to perform, while Chen Cang had things to do, so he returned to emergency.


    Around eleven o¡¯clock, a commotion suddenly erupted between the family of patient in bed 11 and the attending physician Wang Yong.


    Chen Cang, seeing this, hurried over.


    He heard a tall man standing at the door of the ward, hurling curses and pointing at Wang Yong¡¯s nose, yelling furiously.


    In comparison, Wang Yong¡¯s face was flushed red, trying to explain, but clearly, the patient was not giving him a chance!


    The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall, quite sturdy, whereas Wang Yong was less than 1.75 meters and relatively lanky.


    But!


    It wasn¡¯t the physical difference that stopped Wang Yong from cursing back or countering, but because in the hospital, doctors who quarrel or fight with patients are the ones who get punished.


    ¡°My dad just has cholecystitis, why isn¡¯t he getting surgery after being admitted? Are you even a doctor?¡±


    ¡°Everybody says online that cholecystitis surgery should be done early. If you wait too long, it can worsen the condition!¡±


    ¡°You said yesterday that we need to complete the examinations, and now that we have, you still haven¡¯t scheduled the surgery. Are you waiting for me to slip you a red envelope?¡±


    ¡°Trash!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen many doctors like you, just don¡¯t let me catch you outside after this!¡±

 Chapter 409 - Chapter 409: Chapter 409:

    Chapter 409: Chapter 409:


    The man seemed to think that Wang Yong¡¯s silence meant he was admitting guilt, so he became even more relentless!


    The insults he hurled were even uglier!


    And they were some of those internet catchphrases used to vilify doctors.


    Saying things like if no red packet is given, no surgery is scheduled, deliberately dragging sick people down and such.


    Every time Wang Yong tried to speak, his voice was drowned out by the man¡¯s loudness.


    Seeing this, Wang Yong, realizing that explanations were futile, turned to leave and contact the director.


    But at this moment, the man grabbed Wang Yong¡¯s arm, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Trying to run? I¡¯m telling you, if you don¡¯t clear things up today, you¡¯re not going anywhere!¡±


    ¡°And if my dad suffers any mishap, you¡¯ll be waiting for a court summons!¡±


    ¡°Quack, parasite!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed, and he walked towards the front.


    Wang Yong was his colleague, his friend, and in a sense his apprentice. Encountering such an incident, Chen Cang, without a second thought, would definitely stand up for Wang Yong.


    But¡­


    After thinking it over, Chen Cang first put on a glove and then stepped out.


    After all, without the glove, he wouldn¡¯t have the bonus to his strength¡­ If a fight broke out, wouldn¡¯t that put him at a disadvantage?


    A +5 strength enhancement is equivalent to fifty percent. Chen Cang, already tall and muscular, with his routine emergency physical work, was even more hardened.


    Even this muscular man might not be a match for him.


    After Chen Cang walked over, he spoke calmly, ¡°First, let go of him. If you have an issue, talk to me, or if you have doubts about our treatment, you can file a complaint or even call the police. That¡¯s all possible!¡±


    The sturdy man, upon seeing Chen Cang, showed no change in expression, ¡°Is this the reinforcement?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, his eyes fixated on the man, ¡°No reinforcement, this isn¡¯t a fight. This is a hospital, let go first.¡±


    The man was taken aback and glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Go get your director, I don¡¯t want to talk to you! I definitely won¡¯t let him go today without an explanation.¡±


    Chen Cang casually placed his hand on the man¡¯s hand, squeezed firmly and a great force was transmitted, prompting the man to hastily let go of Wang Yong.


    The man was immediately surprised!


    Chen Cang¡¯s strength had truly shocked him.


    He had never expected¡­ that this young doctor could be so strong.


    Chen Cang¡¯s action also startled the onlookers around.


    After all, there were many emergency patients on a Monday morning, and such a dramatic scene was bound to draw attention.


    Actually, patients were even more easily influenced, because many believe that in the medical field, patients are the vulnerable group. Being patients themselves, they instinctively believed a bit of what the man said.


    Chen Cang¡¯s action had immediately caused everyone around to be taken aback.


    After all, Chen Cang¡¯s casual pull had managed to yank the tall and robust man away so effortlessly¡ªan impactful sight!


    This young doctor turned out to be so strong!


    To pull away a muscular man of one hundred ninety centimeters just like that¡­ How much strength would that require.


    The man, seeing Chen Cang¡¯s assertiveness, couldn¡¯t help but be stunned for a moment.


    Chen Cang took this opportunity to say to Wang Yong, ¡°Bring the medical records for Bed 11.¡±


    Wang Yong took a deep breath, looked at Chen Cang with gratitude, nodded, and walked aside.


    As the man was about to speak, Chen Cang¡¯s intense gaze held him, as he said, ¡°Let me look at the medical record first, and then you can talk.¡±


    Chen Cang was reasonable and also forceful, leaving the man with nothing to say.


    Moments later, Wang Yong came over with the clipboard and printed out a document, which detailed the patient¡¯s medical history.


    After reading it, Chen Cang¡¯s brows knitted together immediately.


    Wang Yong, with a sneer, gave the man a glance and said loudly, ¡°The patient suffered from a gallbladder inflammation attack for three days, exceeding 72 hours, before being admitted to the hospital. Upon admission, the patient¡¯s overall symptoms were poor. I ordered an immediate blood count, the serum bilirubin was very high! Aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase¡­ these indicators were severely abnormal.¡±


    ¡°Although the assessment of the heart, lung, liver, kidney, and other organ functions is still considered normal, the elderly patient is 80 this year, and the gallbladder inflammation has lasted over 72 hours. There might be a severe abdominal infection present since the body temperature is high and there are obvious symptoms of systemic poisoning. I advised him to transfer to the ICU for monitoring until the overall symptoms stabilize before undergoing surgery, but he accused me of refusing to perform surgery.¡±


    At this point, Wang Yong asked the man with a cold sneer, ¡°You¡¯re saying that I take bribes, right? Okay, I¡¯ll ask you, when your dad was hospitalized and you didn¡¯t have enough for the hospital fees, who took care of the arrears for you? If you had even an ounce of conscience, your dad wouldn¡¯t be in this condition!¡±


    ¡°You say I lack medical ethics? Then I ask you, why did you bring your father to the hospital only today when he has been suffering from gallbladder inflammation for three days, a disease with very obvious symptoms? I¡¯m telling you, if you had brought him the day after the attack started, your father would have been on the operating table by now, safely waiting for his recovery!¡±


    ¡°And you still have the nerve to blame me?¡±


    Being young, Wang Yong naturally felt annoyed when someone pointed their finger at his nose and cursed him!


    He spoke his piece, reasoned and well-founded, leaving the man momentarily at a loss for words!


    The surrounding patients, having heard this, snorted in disdain.


    They thought he was a good person, only to find he was someone like this.


    Seeing the situation, the man was suddenly speechless, his face flushed and neck thick, wanting to retort. After all, the situation had blown up¡ªwasn¡¯t he, a troublemaker, afraid of making a bigger scene?


    However, just then, two men and one woman, all looking older than the man, rushed in from outside.


    These three had already heard the earlier exchange between Chen Cang and Wang Yong and were shaking with anger.


    An older man, trembling with anger, pointed at the man and cursed loudly, ¡°Fourth brother, you took three days to bring Dad to the hospital for his gallbladder inflammation. Do you want him to die?¡±


    With that question, everyone suddenly realized that these people were family!


    The elder sister hurriedly ran into the ward to check on their father.


    The other brother just sighed, knowing all too well what his younger brother was like.


    Always idle and not serious about anything.


    The two elder brothers and one sister, all busy working out of town, had agreed to give him money for taking care of the elderly parent, and he and his wife were happy to accept.


    It¡¯s just one old father we¡¯re talking about. All three thought it better for a family member to be attentive rather than a hired caretaker, also to help supplement their budget.


    How much could an old man spend?


    Wasn¡¯t all that money going to the youngest brother?


    But unexpectedly, his parents suffered from gallbladder inflammation for three days, and this couple failed to notice?


    How could that be?!


    If they had the least bit of concern, would it have come to this?


    Gallbladder inflammation is understood by everyone!


    And the old man already had a history of this condition.


    The two elder brothers and sister always gave plenty of money, so how could there not be enough for treatment and surgery?


    Moreover, didn¡¯t Mingming call a few days ago to say that their father had an attack of gallbladder inflammation, and the three of them each sent back five thousand yuan? And now there¡¯s the matter of arrears for the hospitalization?


    Does no one understand what this means?


    The second eldest brother quickly said to Wang Yong and Chen Cang, ¡°Doctors, it¡¯s all our fault. I apologize to you. Please don¡¯t hold the foolishness of a young man against us. My brother is foolish and ignorant. Please, you must save him!¡±


    At that moment, the elder woman also came running out.


    ¡°Doctor, you must save my dad!¡±


    It was then that the onlookers couldn¡¯t help shaking their heads and sighing.


    Every family has its own difficult scripture to recite!


    Facing this troublemaker, it was really a case of stirring chaos and muddling the waters!


    Chen Cang sighed. At a time like this, the priority was to save the patient. He remembered¡­ he had performed a similar surgery before in the virtual space¡­


    Turning around, he patted Wang Yong and glanced at him, ¡°Calm down.¡±


    Wang Yong shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡±


    PS: Thanks to the Chief ¡°Xi Anbei¡± for the generous reward, thank you!

 Chapter 410 - Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Make a Decision Quickly!

    Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Make a Decision Quickly!


    ¡°`


    The middle-aged strong man, seeing how unpleasant Wang Yong¡¯s words were, instantly became angry!


    ¡°What are you saying?¡±


    ¡°As if I deliberately wanted to kill my dad?¡±


    ¡°Do you think everyone is like you doctors? Do we know about these things where we come from?¡±


    The older brother of the man couldn¡¯t help but bark angrily, ¡°Enough! Isn¡¯t this shameful enough?¡±


    Seeing this, the man, even though he was angry, couldn¡¯t help but snort and walked towards the emergency room exit, muttering;


    ¡°Fine, you handle it, I¡¯m done!¡±


    Seeing his reaction, the eldest brother was instantly so furious he couldn¡¯t take it.


    But this was a hospital, and any more talking would just make them the laughing stock.


    Realizing this, the eldest brother sighed, walked over to Chen Cang and Wang Yong, ¡°Ah¡­ Doctor, I¡¯m sorry! We¡¯ve caused you trouble.¡±


    The man was dressed neatly and had an air of refinement about him.


    Seeing the man¡¯s good attitude, Wang Yong also calmed down a bit, saying, ¡°No worries.¡±


    To Chen Cang, the eldest brother asked, ¡°Is my father really that serious?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, according to the examination and test results, we must first control the overall symptoms and schedule a surgery.¡±


    After finishing, Chen Cang glanced at Wang Yong, ¡°You take a break, I¡¯ll go check on the patient.¡±


    Seeing this, the eldest brother quickly followed Chen Cang towards the wards.


    Wang Yong was a bit emotionally unstable, and Chen Cang hoped he would rest a bit and calm his feelings.


    Wang Yong nodded and returned to the office.


    After Chen Cang entered, he looked at the elderly man lying on the bed, very tall, making the hospital bed look very small!


    Chen Cang estimated that the man must weigh at least two hundred pounds, with a height of over six feet, and even in his eighties, he still maintained this size, and the man was quite stout.


    Even as he lay there, one could clearly see his prominently protruding belly.


    Wang Yong had been attentive, using cardiac monitoring on the man, but¡­ the situation was still somewhat bad.


    The man from earlier simply couldn¡¯t take care of the elderly patient and the hired hospital worker was someone Chen Cang knew. She was an aunt in her early fifties who often did nursing work in the ER. With them around, it was actually more reassuring than having the family members.


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Auntie, give me the films.¡±


    The nurse nodded and took out all the completed examinations from the head of the bed.


    Chen Cang started reviewing them.


    After Wang Yong got back to the office, he cooled down, his anger subsided, and he sat in the chair restlessly, pacing back and forth. After all, he was the elderly patient¡¯s doctor, and considering the man¡¯s advanced age, to tell the truth, not every hospital would definitely admit him.


    Relatives¡­ relatives aside, the elderly man was innocent.


    After pacing back and forth and thinking for a few minutes, Wang Yong finally let go of his anger.


    His anger dissipated, but Wang Yong couldn¡¯t sit still any longer, especially since he had personally admitted the elderly man whose condition was unstable. With this thought,


    After comforting himself, Wang Yong quickly stood up and went towards the ward.


    Honestly, being a doctor really does require a capacity for emotional regulation, or else it would definitely lead to problems.


    When Wang Yong entered the ward, Chen Cang had already reviewed the films and performed a detailed physical examination on the elderly man.


    However¡­


    ¡°`


    The more Chen Cang understood about the elderly patient¡¯s condition, the more anxious he became!


    It seemed the situation was even more serious than he had imagined.


    When the elderly man¡¯s eldest son saw Chen Cang¡¯s expression, his face immediately changed.


    Dong Qiangsheng couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Doctor, how is it?¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the elderly patient and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°The situation is a bit special, just like Dr. Wang said. The patient¡¯s gallbladder inflammation has lasted over 72 hours, and now the systemic toxicity symptoms are severe and his condition is very poor. He definitely cannot tolerate a cholecystectomy. What I¡¯m most worried about now is that the patient might go into shock.¡±


    ¡°But according to the current situation, internal medical treatment might be only marginally effective. If we keep going like this, there are bound to be problems.¡±


    Eldest son Dong Qiangsheng immediately frowned slightly, while the second son and third daughter looked at the elderly man with faces full of concern.


    Dong Qiangsheng couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Doctor, please tell us what we should do now?¡±


    Chen Cang actually felt they could take a risk with the surgery because continuing to delay was definitely problematic, there was no doubt about that.


    But could Chen Cang guarantee a successful surgery?


    No!


    With that thought, Chen Cang did not act impulsively. Instead, he looked at Dong Qiangsheng and said, ¡°How about this: You all take a rest for a while, and I¡¯ll quickly report back to our director and arrange for a case discussion as soon as possible, involving experts from our various departments to discuss the patient¡¯s condition and make a decision quickly, how does that sound?¡±


    Dong Qiangsheng pondered for a moment, then nodded, ¡°Mmm! Then we¡¯ll leave it to you, doctor!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and left the office together with Wang Yong.


    After coming out, Chen Cang called Li Baoshan to report the situation.


    Li Baoshan had just finished a surgery and, upon hearing the news, immediately returned to the emergency department, contacted Zhang Youfu, and the head of hematology.


    It was already almost twelve o¡¯clock. Li Baoshan hurried back to the emergency department, and without even time to change clothes, he headed straight for the wards.


    After inspecting the patient, his face also darkened immediately.


    The situation was indeed special!


    So, he called the heads of the departments again, urging them to make a decision as quickly as possible.


    At half-past twelve, surgical expert Zhang Youfu, Li Baoshan, and others gathered in the office to start discussing.


    Now, should they continue with internal medical conservative treatment?


    Or, should they arrange for surgery as soon as possible?


    If they opt for surgery, who would perform it?


    And what type of surgery should be done?


    These were all questions.


    The patient¡¯s condition was quite special; the difficulty of performing surgery was great because the adhesions in the abdominal cavity were certainly already very severe. A cholecystectomy was simply not possible. To speak frankly, the area surrounding the gallbladder triangle might as well have been rotting. Any separation would surely damage the liver and even the arterial vessels. The condition of the widespread infection inside the abdominal cavity was relatively poor, and one misstep could even lead to loss of life.


    Without even considering lunch, Zhang Youfu made a call to also summon Qian Liang over.


    The proximity advantage of East General Hospital and Second Provincial Hospital immediately came into play. Qian Liang, having just had lunch, promptly took a taxi over.


    After his arrival and learning about the patient¡¯s condition, he too was hesitant to reach a conclusion after some contemplation!


    ¡°The patient is too obese, with such a thick layer of fat, and severe adhesions underneath, complications are certain during surgery,¡± Qian Liang did not pretend to be capable but simply stated the facts, ¡°Right now, we could try a cholecystostomy, but there¡¯s a problem, that is, we might not be able to locate the gallbladder!¡±


    Upon saying this, Qian Liang looked at the family members ¨C the elderly man¡¯s eldest son Dong Qiangsheng ¨C and said, ¡°Now, you need to make a decision. To proceed or not with the surgery. If you proceed, the risks are high, but it could alleviate the condition. If not, the elderly man¡¯s health will only deteriorate further, and the condition will only worsen!¡±


    ¡°To speak unpleasantly, you have already missed the best treatment window, and even worsened the patient¡¯s infection. So¡­ make a decision quickly!¡±

 Chapter 411 - Chapter 411: Chapter 411: A Group of Red-Named Monsters!

    Chapter 411: Chapter 411: A Group of Red-Named Monsters!


    Dong Qiangsheng was the eldest in the family, and after learning of the elder¡¯s illness, he had his driver bring him back from the neighboring Northern River Province.


    Dong Qiangsheng was somewhat capable, serving as the deputy head of a district government in the capital city of Northern River Province, a position with real power. He rushed back this time without giving much thought.


    Upon hearing several experts say how difficult it was, he felt uncertain, but seeing the elder lying in bed drowsy and almost asleep, as the eldest, he was incredibly worried.


    We can¡¯t just leave things hanging like this, right?


    After much thought, he decided to find a way himself and to look for experts to come and have a look.


    ¡°About this, Director, is it possible for my father to wait one more day?¡± Dong Qiangsheng asked Qian Liang.


    Qian Liang said, ¡°One day is possible, but it can¡¯t be too long. Although the patient¡¯s condition is currently stable, we are worried about deterioration. If we administer internal medicine now, it¡¯s not a problem to maintain his condition. The main concern is that if we don¡¯t operate, the illness might progress. We¡¯ve seen such cases before where internal medicine was ineffective and without surgery, the development is very rapid.¡±


    Dong Qiangsheng nodded, made up his mind, and took the opportunity to step out and make a call.


    Before long, Dong Qiangsheng got in touch with the director of the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery at 301 Hospital, Director Zhou Hongguang.


    Director Zhou was a leading figure in the field of hepatobiliary surgery nationwide, and everyone in the circle knew that he was about to be elected an academician of the Academy of Sciences.


    Zhou Hongguang gave Dong Qiangsheng a lot of face and decided to come to Dongyang Province overnight that same day.


    Dong Qiangsheng was naturally very excited.


    He hurried back into the ward and said, ¡°Director Qian, Director Li, I¡¯ve contacted Director Zhou from 301 Hospital. He says he¡¯s coming over tonight, so can we make a decision tomorrow? Let¡¯s just stabilize things for today.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned.


    Qian Liang asked curiously, ¡°Director Zhou, are you referring to Director Zhou Hongguang?¡±


    Dong Qiangsheng nodded, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him.¡±


    With that statement, everyone naturally had nothing to say.


    After all¡­ Director Zhou was the young leader of China¡¯s hepatobiliary surgery, about to be elected as an academician, the vice-chairman of China¡¯s hepatobiliary surgery. His stature was enormous!


    People then looked at Dong Qiangsheng, realizing he had such great ability. Impressive!


    However, for them, it wasn¡¯t a bad thing; in fact, it was good news.


    With Director Zhou¡¯s arrival, whether the treatment was successful or not, it wouldn¡¯t have much to do with them anymore. The responsibility and burden would be lighter, and they might even be able to establish a connection with Director Zhou, making it convenient to invite him to Dongyang Province for conferences or surgeries in the future.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At nine o¡¯clock the next morning, Dong Qiangsheng personally brought Zhou Hongguang to the Second Provincial Hospital.


    And Qian Liang, not having any other tasks for the day, finished his shift early and arrived at the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital. As the chairman of the hepatobiliary surgery department in Dongyang Province, Qian Liang knew Zhou Hongguang and they had an old acquaintance; the two shared a good relationship and often attended meetings together.


    Upon seeing Zhou Hongguang come in, Qian Liang hastened to greet him, ¡°Director Zhou, long time no see!¡±


    Zhou Hongguang saw Qian Liang and smiled, ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s been a long time, Director Qian.¡±


    Since they were there for a consultation, there wasn¡¯t much time for pleasantries, and after some preparations, everyone came to the bedside of Elder Dong.


    Zhou Hongguang finished the examination and then discussed with Qian Liang, Zhang Youfu, and a few others.


    After finishing, he looked at Dong Qiangsheng with a grave expression and said, ¡°District Chief Dong, I have also understood the situation of your father now. My suggestion is actually consistent with Director Qian and the others: medical treatment has already lost its effect. Continuing to delay will definitely lead to a worsening situation.¡±


    ¡°However, regarding the surgery, I also have to make things clear to you. The difficulty is very high because of several reasons. First, your father is rather obese, and the fat layer in the abdomen is thick, which makes it very hard to locate the gallbladder once the surgery starts. Second, after the gallbladder inflammation has persisted for four days, extensive infection and adhesion in the abdominal cavity are almost unavoidable, which further increases the difficulty. Finally, and most importantly, the old man is too old and already has multiple underlying diseases, which undoubtedly adds to the surgical risk.¡±


    ¡°Gallbladder removal is definitely not tolerable for him. Even if he could tolerate it, I would not dare to proceed because, to tell you the truth, at this point, I estimate that separating the gallbladder would definitely injure the liver, which is inevitable. So, my recommendation is also to perform a cholecystostomy.¡±


    At this point, Zhou Hongguang was Dong Qiangsheng¡¯s last hope. Hearing Zhou Hongguang speak in this way, what more could he say? All he could do was to cooperate actively.


    The surgery was quickly arranged, with Zhou Hongguang as the chief surgeon, assisted by Qian Liang and Zhang Youfu, along with Li Baoshan. For an operation of this caliber, to be involved, one at least needed to be at the director level.


    However¡­ the only exception was Chen Cang.


    Li Baoshan was of considerable age; he actually didn¡¯t need to come over just for the excitement. He came to embolden Chen Cang!


    ¡°Chen, come over here and take a look, learn a thing or two. This learning opportunity is rare!¡± Li Baoshan said with a smile.


    Qian Liang nodded his head in agreement: ¡°Yes, Chen, you come over. Director Zhou, no, soon we¡¯ll have to start calling him Academician Zhou; he is currently a leading figure in hepatobiliary surgery in the country. You should watch carefully.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Hello, Teacher Zhou.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang smiled as he glanced at Li Baoshan, ¡°Director Li, is this your student?¡±


    Li Baoshan smiled, ¡°He is a doctor from our department, very gifted in surgery, learns everything quickly and performs well in operations.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang smiled noncommittally and nodded his head.


    He could see that Li Baoshan wanted to give Chen Cang an opportunity, so he went along with it without hesitation: ¡°Chen, you assist me. Can you manage that?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up, an assistant role was great!


    This implied a higher level of involvement in the operation, a chance to learn from close quarters!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Thank you, Director Zhou.¡±


    Zhang Youfu and the others also smiled. To be honest, they had seen plenty of extraordinary surgeries and didn¡¯t particularly care about one or two more, but Chen Cang was just starting out, lacking in practice and learning.


    Given the special circumstances of the patient, if local anesthesia was used, it would entail a lot of complications. It required re-infiltration with an anesthetic in both the rectus abdominis and the peritoneum. After considering the options, they decided to use general anesthesia.


    Zhou Hongguang took the scalpel and began an incision just below the right ribcage, swiftly making a downward angled cut, quite extended in length.


    Chen Cang understood that this was probably done for full exposure of the base of the gallbladder, to provide a new venture for the operation.


    The incision was gradually widened, revealing a thick layer of fat within the surgical field, and Chen Cang hurried to assist.


    After a busy period, the abdomen was exposed, and as they opened up the entire abdominal cavity, a foul odor spread!


    Zhou Hongguang¡¯s face changed instantly as well!


    The situation seemed to be even worse than he had anticipated, and as Chen Cang looked inside the abdominal cavity, the adhesions were quite severe. The smell was likely from bile-like purulent fluid, indicating a serious abdominal infection.


    Meanwhile, as Chen Cang looked inside the abdominal cavity, he saw a cluster of oddities with red names and was perplexed!


    ps: Just two updates for now. There will be three more at noon tomorrow. Actually, it would be more exciting to release five chapters at once, but they are not finished writing yet¡­ No other way, tomorrow¡¯s updates will be thrilling¡­

 Chapter 412 - Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Mutated Boss Monster!

    Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Mutated Boss Monster!


    Zhou Hongguang furrowed his brows slightly, then continued the surgery without the slightest delay.


    At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly realized that Zhou Hongguang¡¯s hands were very skillful and steady. When separating tissue, he always seemed to do it just right, a capability that even surpassed his own.


    Watching this made Chen Cang involuntarily swallow his saliva. This must be the work of a master, right?


    With this thought, Chen Cang glanced at Zhou Hongguang unintentionally.


    [Zhou Hongguang, Level: ???¡­]


    Chen Cang gave up. What¡¯s the use of looking? A string of question marks; he couldn¡¯t see anything. When would the system grant him the ability to identify attributes?


    Feeling helpless, the surgery continued.


    Chen Cang provided excellent assistance; as the self-proclaimed top ADC for cholecystectomy at the second provincial hospital, his assisting was naturally also top-notch.


    Especially when Zhou Hongguang was separating tissues, Chen Cang always provided help just in time.


    This significantly reduced the difficulty of Zhou Hongguang¡¯s surgery.


    Because separating such adhesion-prone tissues and dealing with patients with severe abdominal infections could easily lead to accidental organ damage, it was a true test of the assistant¡¯s skill.


    With Chen Cang¡¯s steady technique and quick response, he was a tremendous aid to Zhou Hongguang!


    Zhou Hongguang also felt a flash of curiosity. This young man seemed really impressive!


    The surgery continued.


    The complex interior of the abdomen had been mostly cleared.


    At this time, the bottom of the gallbladder also began to be revealed.


    But¡­


    The base of the gallbladder was visibly enlarged and thickened, surrounded by bile-like purulent fluid.


    Chen Cang saw this and immediately a series of messages appeared.


    [Suppurative Cholecystitis Monster, Lv50, Mutated Boss Monster, excessive gallbladder tension; proceed with caution, bile infection; be careful of infecting surrounding tissues¡­]


    Chen Cang was startled!


    Mutated Boss Monster!


    This was an existence close to that of a boss, indeed.


    With this thought, Chen Cang involuntarily swallowed his saliva again. He really wanted to take down the monster. What should he do?


    But by his side was a legendary NPC with a string of question marks, making it difficult for him¡­


    Chen Cang watched the current state of the Suppurative Appendicitis Monster, realizing that even before the surgery, he had already had an idea similar to the chiefs¡¯, believing that he was fully capable of performing the surgery¡­


    It was a pity, however, that this legendary NPC from out of town had beaten him to it.


    With these thoughts, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel a twinge of heartache and regret.


    Oh well, he would just contribute with assists¡­


    Thinking this, Chen Cang took a deep breath and focused on doing his job well, trying not to think too much about it.


    Zhou Hongguang took the puncture needle, ready to pierce, and Chen Cang quickly brought over a saline-soaked gauze pad to place around the gallbladder, ensuring tight protection.


    Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help but smile. This kid was really doing great!


    Chen Cang¡¯s action might have seemed casual, but it was crucial, as this detail could effectively prevent the bile from contaminating the surrounding tissues.


    [Ding! Zhou Hongguang¡¯s favorability +5.]


    Chen Cang remained composed. Compared to favorability, he longed more for the mutated boss¡­


    This was the most critical moment of the surgery. Prior to the operation, the gallbladder needed to be punctured with a needle for decompression, and then a purse-string suture of the appropriate size had to be made with a sharp knife.


    With his wealth of experience, such a task was a piece of cake for Zhou Hongguang.


    The surgery proceeded methodically.


    Zhou Hongguang made an incision in the center of the purse-string with a sharp knife and used a suction device to clean out the contents of the gallbladder. By now, the surgery had reached its final stage.


    A cholecystostomy, to relieve treatment when the gallbladder cannot be removed, involves connecting a drainage tube, after which the surgery can be concluded.


    But¡­


    Chen Cang was puzzled¡­


    Is this the so-called mutant boss monster?


    Could it be too simple?


    As this thought occurred, Chen Cang hurriedly furrowed his brow, certain that there was a problem somewhere!


    But where exactly?


    Chen Cang wanted to examine the abdominal cavity, to inspect the area around the gallbladder, but¡­ Zhou Hongguang was clearly ready to start suturing.


    If it was merely about creating a cholecystostomy for drainage at the bottom of the gallbladder, then even with such a troublesome peritoneal infection, it definitely would not qualify as a boss monster, let alone a mutated one.


    Zhou Hongguang, seeing Chen Cang somewhat dazed, couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Chen, do you have any doubts?¡±


    After one operation, Zhou Hongguang had developed a certain fondness for this young man, because as his surgical assistant, he could clearly feel that Chen Cang¡¯s skills were quite good and his grasp of surgical details was very precise.


    A talent with great potential.


    Therefore, when he saw Chen Cang staring blankly with his brows tightly knit at the bottom of the gallbladder, he grew quite curious, What was he thinking?


    Upon hearing Zhou Hongguang¡¯s question, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Teacher Zhou¡­ I want to take a look at the Calot¡¯s triangle, as well as the bile duct and common hepatic duct above it.¡±


    With this sentence, Zhou Hongguang was immediately stunned.


    Even Qian Liang and Zhang Youfu were shocked as well.


    The situation with the elderly patient was very special, and surely the Calot¡¯s triangle area could not be dissected; the surgery was just exposing the bottom of the gallbladder to minimize the surgical risk so that the elderly patient could endure it!


    But at this moment, Chen Cang¡¯s actions clearly puzzled everyone.


    The surgery was already finished, and after the patient recovered, they could simply remove the drainage tube.


    Then, after three months, a second-stage cholecystectomy could be performed to prevent the recurrence of biliary symptoms in the future.


    Chen Cang drew a deep breath, ¡°I have a feeling like¡­ we¡¯ve missed something?¡±


    This comment was undoubtedly slap in Zhou Hongguang¡¯s face.


    But Chen Cang had to say it, because it involved the patient¡¯s life and health.


    Once the incision in the peritoneum was closed, if there were any special circumstances, it would be very troublesome, even life-threatening.


    The elderly patient was already over eighty years old¡­ their tolerance couldn¡¯t be that strong!


    Chen Cang had braced himself for Zhou Hongguang¡¯s anger, but on the contrary, Zhou Hongguang stopped his hands, looking at Chen Cang with interest, ¡°Oh? Where do you think we¡¯ve missed something?¡±


    Qian Liang and Zhang Youfu couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed and were extremely anxious, thinking to themselves, this Chen is messing around, isn¡¯t he?!


    Looking for discomfort!


    You, young man, didn¡¯t need to kiss up, but couldn¡¯t you say something pleasant?


    At this time to talk about missing something, what could have been missed?


    Just as Chen Cang was speaking, a nurse suddenly announced, ¡°There¡¯s bleeding through the drainage tube!¡±


    Suddenly!


    Everyone¡¯s complexion changed!


    On close inspection, indeed, blood was flowing out of the drainage tube!


    Why was there blood?


    Where did this blood come from?


    At this moment, everyone was stunned.


    The sudden bleeding caused Zhou Hongguang¡¯s complexion to change, his brows furrowed deeply, his expression grave!


    He suddenly recalled what Chen Cang had said, where was the problem!?


    Could it be that Chen had discovered it?


    Immediately, his eyes fixed on Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, where do you think there is a problem?¡±


    At this time, everyone¡¯s eyes were glued on Chen Cang, filled with shock. Could it be that Chen Cang had really found an issue?


    Otherwise, why would he have said those things?


    For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire operating room was incredibly oppressive!

 Chapter 413 - Chapter 413: Chapter 413: What a good child!

    Chapter 413: Chapter 413: What a good child!


    Did Chen Cang find out?


    To be accurate, he did not a moment ago!


    Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have ambiguously said he missed something!


    Because even he wasn¡¯t clear on what he missed, he only wanted to investigate and see if he could find any clues.


    But now he knew when he saw blood appearing from the drainage tube, he suddenly thought of a special kind of patient during his training in the virtual space.


    With that thought, Chen Cang quickly looked at everyone!


    He said loudly, ¡°Don¡¯t stop the bleeding yet!¡±


    With that, everyone was stunned!


    They all paused in shock!


    Not stop the bleeding?


    Even though the blood wasn¡¯t flowing very fast, but¡­ what situation calls for not stopping the bleeding?


    Chen Cang said to the nurses, ¡°Give me the separation forceps!¡±


    ¡°Scalpel!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t afford to explain too much, talking too much was pointless, and it was better to get to work.


    Moreover, at this time, the last thing needed was blind hemostasis.


    Because the patient already had portal hypertension, during portal hypertension, comparatively thick varicose veins in the hepatoduodenal ligament could easily cause major intraoperative bleeding, and frantic hemostasis could mistakenly damage the hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile ducts, even leading to an embarrassing situation during surgery where it was impossible to make any progress, like being stuck on the back of a tiger.


    Therefore, Chen Cang had to steady his stance at this time!


    Chen Cang carefully made his way to the Calot¡¯s triangle, what he had to do was not to separate the gallbladder but to search for the liver ducts in the liver area.


    He had to verify his own thoughts!


    A little bleeding wasn¡¯t scary, the drainage tube made everything convenient, the most crucial thing was to find the core of the problem.


    Soon after the separation, a series of red names appeared in Chen Cang¡¯s view!


    ¡°Biliary Variation¡±


    Not only Chen Cang, but everyone else turned pale when they saw this!


    Zhou Hongguang was particularly shocked!


    He finally understood what was happening!


    When he saw the junction of the hepatic duct and the bile duct, Zhou Hongguang had an epiphany.


    Gallbladder inflammation with biliary variation!


    No wonder there was bleeding¡­


    At this time, Qian Liang, Zhang Youfu, and Li Baoshan, all three of them realized it too.


    Acute gallbladder inflammation combined with biliary variation!


    The gallbladder, having an acute inflammation for four days, already caused tissue damage, and at this time the cystic duct opened into the right hepatic duct, the bifurcation of the left and right hepatic ducts was low, with the presence of a right accessory hepatic duct. At this moment, the variant intersection of hepatic and bile ducts could easily be overlooked!


    Once this variant crossover occurred, if not careful during surgery, even just the insertion of a drainage tube could cause damage.


    And the patient¡¯s condition was already very special!


    Initially, there was no plan to remove the gallbladder, and separating the gallbladder would definitely damage the hepatic ducts.


    Acute gallbladder inflammation combined with biliary variation could easily lead to intraoperative bleeding and bile duct injury, and if at this time, the patient also had portal hypertension, the varicose veins could cause major intraoperative bleeding.


    Major bleeding was almost fatal for this surgery, but if there was a panicked attempt to stop the bleeding, accidentally injuring the hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile ducts, it could be said that the patient would have been finished!


    This wasn¡¯t an exaggeration at all!


    When everyone saw this scene, every director felt chills!


    Had they not discovered it?


    Where did they go to discover it?


    Who has the ability to foresee such things?


    And variant hepatic ducts were almost too rare, even if there were, most of the time they wouldn¡¯t cause significant harm.


    Had Chen Cang not seen the ¡°Variant Leader,¡± to be honest, even he wouldn¡¯t have thought it would be like this.


    But at this point, the surgery had entered a deadlock.


    It was necessary to investigate the cause, locate the point of bleeding, and then stop it.


    However, this process was extremely delicate, and no accidents could occur.


    Zhou Hongguang wanted to take over, but seeing Chen Cang¡¯s expression, he suddenly stopped his movement.


    To tell the truth, the process of identifying the bleeding point must be handled with extreme caution, and the key to everything, you have to be able to find the source of the bleeding.


    Although the gallbladder did not need to be removed, it was precisely because no drastic action could be taken that the difficulty of the surgery escalated.


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were glued to the hepatic duct, common bile duct, gallbladder, accessory hepatic duct¡­


    Suddenly, Chen Cang saw what appeared to be an adhesive tear between the intersecting accessory hepatic duct and common bile duct, just off from the gallbladder!


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes brightened!


    The truth was out!


    There was already an abscess that could easily damage the hepatic duct, and the appearance of adhesions exacerbated the injury. Even the smallest surgery during the operation would cause some damage to the tissues¡ªit was, after all, cutting with a scalpel!


    At that moment!


    Chen Cang made a significant contribution!


    Zhou Hongguang, excited, stared at the intersecting hepato-biliary ducts with an exhilarated and agitated expression, a sense of relief from a narrow escape suddenly emerging.


    Lucky to have found it!


    Otherwise, if the abdomen were opened again, it would undoubtedly cause another serious injury. By then, it might lead to a massive hemorrhage from the peritoneal varices.


    At that time, it would be impossible to save the patient.


    Zhou Hongguang suddenly felt extremely fortunate!


    Not just him, even Qian Liang, Zhang Youfu, and others beside him were breathing rapidly, feeling somewhat incredulous.


    Excitement, fear, anxiety, complexity, gratitude¡­


    A mix of emotions lingered in everyone¡¯s minds for a long time.


    Performing surgery is like this¡ªyou as a surgeon must possess an eagle eye, keenly controlling the overall situation and pinpointing the crux!


    In a surgery, you cannot just address problems wherever they appear because, after all, the human body is a whole and must be studied in coordination.


    The onset of acute cholecystitis is severe, but accompanying this cross-sectional bile duct variation is also very serious.


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly stood up, handed the scalpel and separating forceps to the nurse, then looked at Zhou Hongguang, ¡°Director Zhou, your turn.¡±


    In a word, everyone was stunned once more!


    Zhou Hongguang was full of confusion, ???


    At this point¡­ you¡¯re not doing it yourself? Handing over the fruits of victory to me?


    Indeed!


    If news of this surgery conducted by Chen Cang got out, it would be absolutely sensational.


    After all, having discovered an oversight in the surgery by the prospective Academician Zhou Hongguang, identifying the cause of the problem, and averting disaster, just as he was about to reap the glory, he was giving away the fruits of victory?


    This move¡­ truly 666!


    Even several surrounding directors¡¯ eyelids were twitching.


    At this time, Chen Cang could not concern himself with anything else, but to tell the truth, ¡°Director Zhou, I¡­ am not very skilled at repairing the hepatic duct. Please, take over!¡±


    This statement almost brought tears to Zhou Hongguang¡¯s eyes!


    What a good kid!


    Such an honest person!


    At this moment, Zhou Hongguang was extremely concerned about his reputation. If anything went wrong, it would be a huge obstacle for his nomination as an academician.


    You must not think this is a trivial matter. You should know, selection as an academician is not as simple as you imagine.


    To put it simply, positions are limited; only the capable rise.


    This ¡®capable¡¯ is a test of comprehensive strength.


    A careless mistake at this crucial point could lead to the patient¡¯s death, giving critics an easy target¡ªit¡¯s difficult to argue against the conviction that the deceased¡¯s plight holds the ultimate truth.


    But Chen Cang helped him find the problem, for which Zhou Hongguang was already immensely grateful.


    Yet!


    At this critical moment, Chen Cang handed the reins of the surgery to Zhou Hongguang, saying, ¡°I¡¯m not good at bile duct surgery¡±¡­


    This phrase filled Zhou Hongguang with heartfelt gratitude.


    What a good kid, capable of performing such complex surgery, able to find such difficult issues¡ªa small bile duct, what¡¯s that compared to everything else?


    Alas¡­

 Chapter 414 - Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Truly a Great Talent!

    Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Truly a Great Talent!


    Zhou Hongguang already knew clearly that Chen Cang was doing him a favor!


    And he did it thoroughly!


    A single ¡°I¡¯m not good at single-tube surgeries¡± really warmed old Zhou¡¯s heart.


    It gave him plenty of face!


    And Qian Liang, watching Chen Cang, was filled with nothing but regret¡­


    If only he had known how capable this kid was, Qian Liang would have put his pride aside and snatched Chen Cang up no matter what!


    Thinking about letting such a promising young talent slip away made Qian Liang¡¯s heart sour with regret.


    Why did you have to boast back then?


    Insist that Chen Cang write some paper!


    And you were putting on airs as the chair of hepatobiliary surgery¡­


    Now keep putting on airs, why don¡¯t you!?


    Qian Liang was feeling incredibly wronged inside.


    At that thought, he almost wished time could flow backward, sending him back to the scene of Chen Cang¡¯s examination to grab hold of him and tell him:


    ¡°Chen Cang, I want to be your teacher! I don¡¯t need anything in return, even if you were an idiot, I¡¯d be willing!¡±


    Unfortunately¡­ there¡¯s no such thing as a regret medicine, he could only watch as Chen Cang was embraced by the cardiovascular department.


    Alas¡­


    This is a story more sad than sadness itself.


    Zhang Youfu, on the other hand, was much better off. Watching Chen Cang, he was filled with eager anticipation!


    My general surgery department is in need of talents like you.


    At this thought, he sneakily glanced at Li Baoshan.


    But all he saw was Li Baoshan staring straight back at him with eyes full of ridicule and warning: Chen Cang is my man, don¡¯t even think about it!


    Zhang Youfu¡¯s mouth twitched, you Li Baoshan, just you wait!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Zhou Hongguang took over the scalpel, and at that moment, he felt as though the temperature of the scalpel was conveying Chen Cang¡¯s faith and entrustment.


    I must not let him down!


    Yes!


    With this in mind, Zhou Hongguang felt a surge of fighting spirit. The surgery went unexpectedly smoothly.


    [Ding! Zhou Hongguang¡¯s favorability +20!]


    Chen Cang sighed.


    What use do I have for your favorability?


    At this thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that I truly can¡¯t perform biliary surgery, would I give you this level 50 variant boss to tackle?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang felt a pang of heartache.


    There must be great loot to be had¡­


    The more Chen Cang thought about it, the more dissatisfied and regretful he became.


    In this moment, he understood a principle:


    Falling behind means taking a beating,


    Who made your skills inadequate?


    ¡­


    Time ticked away second by second.


    Although Chen Cang was internally complaining, he didn¡¯t delay in his work at all.


    Suddenly, with a ¡®ding¡¯, a system notification sounded.


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully learned through observation and obtained an advanced surgical skill: Hepatic Injury Repair Surgery (Master Level) Incomplete Version!]


    Chen Cang was initially pleased, but upon seeing it was an incomplete version, he immediately had an issue with it.


    I¡¯m a whole person, yet I get an incomplete version¡­


    However, at this time, Chen Cang had no time to dwell on it; he had to focus on the surgery first.


    He could argue with the system later.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Because of what had happened before, Zhou Hongguang was now much more earnest, paying great attention to every detail.


    This made Chen Cang somewhat impressed; a master indeed!


    No wonder he was a legendary NPC.


    Even comrade Youfu was much inferior by comparison.


    About fifteen minutes later, the surgery was thoroughly completed.


    After the operation ended, Zhou Hongguang didn¡¯t close the abdomen right away, but instead habitually passed the scalpel to the nurse.


    Then he took a step back.


    Usually, this was as far as he went, and he would leave the operating room, with the subsequent closing of the abdomen being the responsibility of the assistants or trainees.


    It was a habit years in the making.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang efficiently took needle holders from the nurse and prepared to begin closing the abdomen.


    However, at that moment, Zhou Hongguang¡¯s face turned red!


    He cursed inwardly, ¡®Well done, Zhou Hongguang, you¡¯re getting quite the show off, aren¡¯t you? Little Doctor Chen has done you such a huge favor, given you so much face, and yet you let him do this skilled-less task of closing the abdomen without even a word of thanks. Have you grown too accustomed to acting like a big shot?¡¯


    As soon as he had taken a step back, Zhou Hongguang hurriedly moved forward again.


    But when he saw that Chen Cang had already picked up the needle holders and was ready to suture,


    Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help feeling embarrassed, caught in a dilemma of whether to proceed or retreat.


    With that thought, Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    That ¡°thank you¡± stunned everyone around!


    Even Chen Cang was full of surprise and question marks.


    Why thank him?


    Chen Cang replied with an awkward smile, ¡°This is what I should do!¡±


    Li Baoshan also smiled slightly, ¡°Director Zhou is being too polite. This is what Little Chen should do. It¡¯s his honor to assist you.¡±


    The surgery was very successful, and everyone¡¯s mood finally relaxed.


    But¡­ when Zhou Hongguang heard these words, he felt differently. Wasn¡¯t Little Chen to be nurtured as a treasure?


    Was he merely there to provide assistance to others?


    Wasn¡¯t this a waste of talent?


    Even in our hospital, we would not dare to casually assign such a talented person menial tasks.


    With that thought, Zhou Hongguang suddenly entertained a bold idea!


    But as a newcomer, he felt that perhaps this wasn¡¯t very appropriate.


    Take it slow, take it slow. After all, Chen Cang is still young. There¡¯s plenty of time ahead¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s suturing was quick and steady, closing the abdomen layer by layer.


    Honestly, this was the most difficult abdomen Chen Cang had ever sutured.


    The adipose layer was too thick¡­


    A few of the chiefs, bored and pondering their own thoughts without exchanging a word, just watched Chen Cang suture.


    After all, each of them harbored intentions towards Chen Cang!


    But¡­


    Although they were casually observing Chen Cang¡¯s suturing, one look left them astounded.


    For Chen Cang¡¯s suturing was precise and meticulous, the stitches and spacing were expertly chosen and neatly concealed, as though measured with a vernier caliper for precision!


    This made them breathe even more rapidly.


    Such hands!


    More delicate than a woman¡¯s!


    These were hands born for surgery!


    And moreover, Chen Cang¡¯s sense of distance and space was just too good.


    Zhou Hongguang found it increasingly pleasing to watch!


    Qian Liang grew increasingly regretful!


    Zhang Youfu became increasingly envious!


    And Li Baoshan, as he watched the others¡­ grew increasingly fearful.


    Could these be¡­ a pack of wolves?


    This thought made Li Baoshan suddenly regretful. Every time he brought Chen Cang out to show off, there was always a crowd of envious onlookers.


    No, he had to think of a solution when he got back!


    As Chen Cang tied off the last surgical knot, people looked at the suturing again and couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.


    Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help but lament, what is a master?


    The couplet reads: To highlight the essence in the midst of complex surgeries above,


    To reveal the mastery in the simple act of abdominal closure below.


    The horizontal inscription reads: Truly great talent!


    This suturing, even in our hospital, would be a remarkable sight to behold.


    Lacking in culture, Zhang Youfu thought to himself, ¡®Holy smokes, amazing¡­¡¯


    Qian Liang also sighed. He realized that Chen Cang was good in every aspect, except that he liked to hide his skills.


    With such great talent hidden away, why conceal it?


    Every encounter revealed something new.


    Qian Liang shook his head involuntarily.


    Let it be, let it be!


    PS: With the fifth update delivered, I only found out¡­ that yesterday was a limited-time free channel, no wonder my earnings were less¡­ heh, just a joke.


    I¡¯m begging for your votes!


    Rolling around!

 Chapter 415 - Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Are You Blind?

    Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Are You Blind?


    The inner thoughts of adults are buried deep in their hearts!


    The older they get,


    the deeper they bury them!


    Take, for instance, the situation in the operating room right now. Clearly, all four people have been coveting Chen Cang for a long time, yet they still manage to chat and laugh, showing none of the posture of ¡°rivals in love¡± brandishing weapons at each other.


    The success of the surgery seemed to have put everyone in a much more relaxed mood.


    Zhou Hongguang looked at Li Baoshan with a smile, ¡°Director Li, your Provincial Hospital No. 2 is truly a place of outstanding people and spirit. Chen will surely improve here¡ªit¡¯s an excellent platform indeed.¡±


    Li Baoshan smiled, ¡°Director Zhou, you¡¯re jesting with us. Who doesn¡¯t know about Hospital 301? If we ever get the chance to receive further training over there, I hope you¡¯ll loosen the requirements for us.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang nodded with a slight smile, ¡°Of course, of course!¡±


    ¡­


    Nurse Yuan Yuan watched the group putting on airs and sighed.


    I wouldn¡¯t dare to ask, nor is it easy to say, but¡­ how can your skins be so thick?


    It was clearly Doctor Chen who turned the tide during the operation, but now it¡¯s your turn to strut around here, sigh¡­


    Look at Doctor Chen, able to grace the halls of the high-born, work miracles in the kitchen, with surprisingly nimble hands and extraordinary strength.


    However, once the surgery was over, the head nurse hastily urged them to clean up and get ready for the next operation. Yuan Yuan shook her head and threw herself into the new task at hand.


    Chen Cang and a few others came out of the operating room.


    Zhou Hongguang looked at Chen Cang with satisfaction, ¡°Chen, you should come to 301 to look around when you have the chance. Young people need to learn and communicate more.¡±


    Li Baoshan looked wary but was helpless.


    Although he was well aware that Chen Cang¡¯s potential move to 301 might be a one-way street, still¡­ he had to go. After all, Hospital 301 was nationally renowned, and its Hepatobiliary Surgery department was a leading institution in the northern region.


    Despite his reluctance, Li Baoshan felt he still had to send him off, as it would be a good thing for Chen Cang¡¯s future!


    With this in mind, Li Baoshan picked up on Zhou Hongguang¡¯s words, ¡°That¡¯s right, Chen, if you go to Hospital 301 for further training, you should follow Director Zhou. He is a leading figure in our country¡¯s field of Hepatobiliary Surgery. Following him, you will certainly learn a lot!¡±


    Hearing this, Zhou Hongguang immediately nodded with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s right, follow me when you come.¡±


    Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but mutter his complaints internally. After all, Chen was his originally hand-picked disciple, and now others were scrambling to snatch him away, which was so frustrating!


    Chen Cang naturally smiled, ¡°Then I¡¯ll thank Director Zhou in advance.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang nodded, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, nothing at all!¡±


    Truth be told, Chen Cang had given Zhou Hongguang too many surprises and unforeseen outcomes; he had never expected his trip to Dongyang province to turn out this way.


    Thinking it over, Zhou Hongguang suddenly asked with curiosity, ¡°Director Li, how is the emergency department at your hospital doing? Over in the capital, the emergency departments are tough to manage!¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Well, you know the situation with the emergency departments¡ªit¡¯s the same across the country. The senior doctors aren¡¯t willing to come, and our emergency department doesn¡¯t have many staff positions opening each year. Therefore, we can only bring in some new blood. But the hospital can¡¯t retain them because the remuneration in the emergency department is generally not great, so there¡¯s a fast turnover among the young staff. However, those who stay are very good. Chen was also someone who stayed on from the emergency department initially.¡±


    ¡°Chen graduated with a bachelor¡¯s degree and later joined the emergency department. It took three years of hard work to shape him into his current form. Ultimately, surgery is something you practice to proficiency. Young people in the emergency department have a stage to perform and more opportunities to operate, which means faster progress.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang, upon hearing this, was momentarily taken aback. Chen Cang was a bachelor¡¯s degree graduate?


    What did this imply?


    Enormous potential for development!


    When hospitals recruit, they look at the average quality of the talent; and what best displays this average quality?


    An academic degree!


    But at the director level, what they value is the talent¡¯s potential for development and plasticity, or to put it simply:


    Talent!


    Chen Cang was undoubtedly a talent of that sort.


    However¡­


    Zhou Hongguang suddenly asked with curiosity, ¡°Oh? Are there more surgeries? May I observe?¡±


    Li Baoshan was a bit startled, and he wasn¡¯t too sure himself, ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look.¡±


    Observing surgery might seem novel to others, but to this group of people, it was very common.


    After all, surgery is the exclusive ¡°product¡± of a surgeon!


    Li Baoshan asked the head nurse of the operating room, and it turned out quite coincidentally that there were three emergency operations that morning.


    Li Baoshan immediately smiled and said, ¡°Director Zhou, there are a few surgeries, all emergencies, let¡¯s go have a look.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Wang Yong was originally scheduled for two surgeries that morning, but¡­ it was clear that for Old Master Dong¡¯s surgery, a big shot from the Capital¡¯s Hospital 301 was called in, and it wasn¡¯t Wang Yong¡¯s turn anymore.


    So, Wang Yong simply moved up the other surgery, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.


    As the surgery was nearing its end, suddenly the door of the operating room opened and a few people walked in.


    At that moment, Wang Yong could not be bothered with anything else, and he continued to work on completing the surgery, meticulously suturing the wound.


    Wang Yong now had a number of emergency patients, and his reputation was good. Ever since he started performing small incision minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, more and more people were coming to him for operations.


    Compared to Chen Cang, Li Baoshan was extremely pleased with Wang Yong.


    After all, Wang Yong had been following Li Baoshan for more than two years, always assisting as a subordinate, with a solid foundation.


    But the most most most important thing was that the young fellow was down-to-earth, not like Chen Cang who ¡°flirted with flowers¡± and ¡°attracted bees and butterflies,¡± arousing so much interest in him.


    Compared to Chen Cang, Wang Yong was much less worry for him!


    ¡­


    After Wang Yong casually tied the final surgical knot, he looked up at the people, smiled, and greeted them, ¡°Director! Director Zhang, Director Qian¡­ Director Zhou!¡±


    Wang Yong greeted each one of them.


    Zhou Hongguang looked at the abdomen area and smiled, ¡°Haven¡¯t started yet?¡±


    Wang Yong was startled, are you blind?


    But he didn¡¯t dare say so, ¡°Just finished.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang was startled, glanced at the surrounding haemostatic gauze, and suddenly paused, ¡°Where¡¯s the incision?¡±


    Wang Yong replied, ¡°Director Zhou, it¡¯s already stitched up, the incision is not obvious for laparoscopic surgery.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang was suddenly in a state of astonishment, I surely know about laparoscopic surgery, but even laparoscopic surgery must have an incision, where is your incision?


    Li Baoshan smiled, ¡°Director Zhou, come closer and have a look.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang was slightly stunned, but upon moving closer, he immediately spotted the hidden stitches and was astounded!


    How¡­ how is this done?


    Zhou Hongguang looked up at Wang Yong, who was also in his twenties, roughly the same age as Chen Cang, right?


    This is just¡­ too¡­ too miraculous!


    Li Baoshan smiled, ¡°This is our minimally invasive small incision under laparoscopy, aimed at reducing recovery time of the wound and enhancing cosmetic results.¡±


    ¡°We have already conducted relevant research on the subject, and we can basically reduce the recovery time of the incision to five days, and as for the cosmetic effect, we have postoperative photos that I can show you in a while.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang was somewhat dazed; he didn¡¯t expect that a casual courtesy invitation to observe might yield such an incredible discovery!


    This small incision might seem insignificant, but¡­ it¡¯s sure to be popular with people nowadays!


    Especially urban residents, reducing two days of recovery time and being able to conceal the incision, this¡­ this is amazing!


    And the range of applications for this minimally invasive small incision is too broad!


    The more Zhou Hongguang thought about it, the more he found it hard to believe!


    This¡­ Provincial Second Hospital¡­

 Chapter 416 - Chapter 416: Chapter 416: The Second Provincial Hospital where the Hidden Dragon Lies

    Chapter 416: Chapter 416: The Second Provincial Hospital where the Hidden Dragon Lies


    ¡°`


    Emerging from the operating room, Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t let go of his feelings for a long time!


    Wang Yong was about the same age as Chen Cang, and yet he was so impressive as well.


    Although he didn¡¯t know how the surgery was performed, just the treatment of the small wound alone definitely revealed his strength.


    Such a fine young man!


    It was just a pity that he had missed his surgery, alas¡­


    This made Zhou Hongguang somewhat startled; after all, a small provincial secondary hospital emergency department, unexpectedly filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It wasn¡¯t a dominating department, yet it had already produced two promising young doctors!


    This was quite intriguing.


    Thinking this, Zhou Hongguang felt, maybe it was just a coincidence?


    It must be a coincidence!


    With that thought, he decided to observe the next surgery, hoping to witness a more complete procedure.


    Li Baoshan, seeing the shocked expression on Zhou Hongguang¡¯s face, was inwardly thrilled, very happy, very proud.


    The inflated Li Baoshan was almost about to hum a section from the Peking opera ¡°Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy¡±¡­


    The next surgery was in the neighboring room; the group walked towards it.


    Zhou Hongguang was very curious about what kind of surgery this would be.


    Upon opening the door and entering, he found a young girl, not much older, about the same age as Chen Cang and the others. It seemed the surgery hadn¡¯t started yet. Finally, he could watch a complete procedure!


    Li Baoshan smiled and asked, ¡°Little Qin, what surgery is it?¡±


    Qin Yue replied, ¡°Director, it¡¯s an appendectomy.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang stood by unobtrusively; an appendectomy, a procedure with little technical content yet very much a test of one¡¯s basic skills. This surgery could still reveal a lot of details.


    Thinking this, Zhou Hongguang also awaited with keen interest.


    The surgery began, and Qin Yue picked up the scalpel, made a gentle cut at the marked point, and an incision less than 2 centimeters appeared.


    At that moment, Zhou Hongguang was startled; such a small incision, was this a laparoscopic surgery? Or¡­


    However, seeing that Qin Yue didn¡¯t use a laparoscope, and there was only one hole, he was suddenly puzzled.


    He saw Qin Yue begin the operation, methodically, and Zhou Hongguang, standing behind, found the surgical field of view was quite good.


    Zhou Hongguang understood, this was a minimal incision appendectomy.


    But soon, Zhou Hongguang noticed, this appendix was not simple, it seemed not to be a mere appendicitis, but a suppurative appendicitis. For that, a minimal incision was inappropriate, right?


    Better enlarge the incision quickly!


    Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help but begin to worry.


    But then, he saw Qin Yue, calm and collected, at that moment, speaking to the nurse, ¡°Shift left by 15 degrees, down by 10 degrees¡­¡±


    The nurse, seemingly accustomed to this technique, promptly adjusted the operating table.


    At this point, Zhou Hongguang was surprised to find the field of view had improved again!


    At this, Zhou Hongguang was flabbergasted?


    This¡­this minimal incision could actually be used like this?


    Why the hell didn¡¯t I know about this before?


    Could it be that I¡¯ve neglected these conferences in recent years?


    Absolutely not!


    Zhou Hongguang always paid great attention to the dynamics and information in the surgical system, often perusing the latest journals.


    But he seemed to have never read about these things, had he?


    Watching Qin Yue¡¯s surgery, Zhou Hongguang was beginning to question his entire life.


    These three surgeries had nearly thrown Zhou Hongguang into disarray.


    Although these surgeries were not difficult, even quite simple, this kind of innovation and improvement of traditional surgical techniques was exactly the kind of soulful force that the current field of surgery was lacking: innovation!


    Zhou Hongguang saw not just the surgery; he was looking further, deeper.


    But the more he realized this, the more extraordinary the provincial secondary hospital emergency department felt to him.


    ¡°`


    Both of these surgeries were further refinements of traditional procedures, with modifications made in particular areas.


    If the improvement of small incisions made surgery more suitable for primary hospitals, then the minimally invasive wounds under laparoscopy were an advancement for metropolitan laparoscopic surgeries.


    So valuable!


    And so meaningful.


    For a moment, Zhou Hongguang felt deeply stirred, looking at the young Qin Yue, he was overwhelmed with emotions¡­


    He didn¡¯t even know what to say.


    Watching Qin Yue perform surgery, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but praise her, ¡°Not bad, not bad, there¡¯s progress!¡±


    Qin Yue co-authored a paper on small incision surgery with Chen Cang. He often taught her surgical techniques and how to adjust her perspective, and now she was improving quite rapidly.


    He¡¯ll have to reward her generously after work!


    But what should he give her?


    A cup of milk tea?


    That¡¯s a bit much!


    Maybe just a kiss.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang chuckled lewdly¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After watching the surgery, Zhou Hongguang¡¯s feelings were indeed complicated.


    Once outside the operating room, Zhou Hongguang looked at Li Baoshan and said admiringly, ¡°Ah, Director Li is truly remarkable. I never expected an emergency department would have so many talented young people, each with their own unique skills!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger situation!¡±


    After hearing this, Li Baoshan felt incredibly pleased with himself.


    How delightful it was to be praised by a director from a top national hospital, an associate academician to boot!


    No wonder everyone loves being flattered!


    It¡¯s so comfortable!


    Li Baoshan quickly responded with a smile, shaking his head, ¡°You¡¯re too kind, too kind!¡±


    Off to the side, Zhang Youfu watched Li Baoshan¡¯s beaming smile, unable to resist inwardly mocking him a bit: Look at you showing off! You can hardly conceal your glee, your cavities might show with such a smile, and yet you speak of modesty!


    With this thought, Zhang Youfu sighed. It¡¯s all Chen Cang¡¯s credit, after all!


    Both surgeries were researched by Chen Cang alone. Once they have Chen Cang on board, they won¡¯t have to worry about anything in the future!


    How could Qian Liang not know this?


    Jealousy inside him was as intense as if he¡¯d drunk a pot of sour vinegar. He was well aware of the appendectomy through a small incision; this was undoubtedly Chen Cang¡¯s skill.


    Zhou Hongguang shook his head, gazing earnestly at Li Baoshan and said, ¡°Director Li, I¡¯m not just making polite conversation here. The significance of these two surgeries is unique, and what¡¯s most important is the innovative thinking that you¡¯ve nurtured. It¡¯s indispensable for us surgeons!¡±


    ¡°Especially the first one, the minimally invasive small wound, that¡¯s really marketable! If we can promote and expand on it, we can surely benefit more and more patients!¡±


    ¡°Director Li, is this new surgical technique one of your research projects? I think we could collaborate!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Li Baoshan¡¯s face turned red, ¡°This, er¡­ I didn¡¯t come up with it!¡±


    Zhou Hongguang was utterly surprised, ¡°Could it be¡­ the young man from earlier?¡±


    Li Baoshan shook his head, ¡°These¡­ all these were researched by Chen Cang!¡±


    ¡°The modifications to the minimally invasive small wound and the improved technique for appendectomy through a small incision, these are all Chen Cang¡¯s research findings. It¡¯s said that the papers have already been published? And the projects have been applied for.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongguang was dumbfounded!


    Both of these surgical technique modifications were all thanks to Chen Cang?


    That was¡­ simply¡­ utterly astonishing!


    Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help but swallow hard, casting an envious glance at Li Baoshan.


    ¡­

 Chapter 417 - Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Organizing the Gains

    Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Organizing the Gains


    Dong Qiangsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his father brought in and learning that the surgery went very smoothly!


    But why haven¡¯t Director Zhou and the other directors returned yet?


    So he asked the nurse, ¡°Hello, please, where are Director Zhou and the others?¡±


    The nurse smiled and said, ¡°The directors have another surgery, they¡¯ll be back soon.¡±


    Around eleven-thirty in the morning, everyone returned.


    Zhou Hongguang spoke to Dong Qiangsheng for a long time, saying, ¡°District Chief Dong, your father¡¯s condition is special, he has a biliary tract anomaly combined with cholecystitis which aggravated his condition. I suggest that you take good care of him and make him comfortable. Although he¡¯s stable now, he still needs further treatment¡­¡±


    Dong Qiangsheng nodded, decisively saying that after stabilization, he would take the old man home.


    Zhou Hongguang did not conceal the truth and explained Chen Cang¡¯s actions to Dong Qiangsheng, saying, ¡°If you want to thank someone, thank Dr. Chen Cang. Thanks to him, otherwise the old gentleman would have been in great danger.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Dong Qiangsheng did not understand the specific details, but he caught on to the dangerous implications from Zhou Hongguang¡¯s words.


    Then he looked at Chen Cang and said, ¡°Dr. Chen, thank you so much. If there¡¯s ever anything I can do to help you in the future, don¡¯t hesitate to ask.¡±


    Dong Qiangsheng sincerely exchanged contact information with Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang smiled and nodded.


    One advantage of being a doctor is perhaps having a somewhat wider network, being able to connect with more people.


    This is exemplified by Zheng Guotan.


    Chen Cang was not averse to such connections, after all, societal relationships have never changed. Complying with the rules without crossing the line was enough for him.


    Walking through this mundane world, Chen Cang was no saint and naturally could not escape worldly customs.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At noon, Dong Qiangsheng hosted a meal for everyone, specifically inviting Wang Yong. As the District Chief, Dong Qiangsheng personally made tea and apologized, making Wang Yong feel somewhat embarrassed.


    Since they all had things to do in the afternoon, no one drank alcohol, and the meal also brought everyone a bit closer.


    While everyone was chatting, Chen Cang sat idle and saw a bunch of prompts from the system, so he opened the virtual screen.


    Chen Cang was surprised to discover a problem, it seemed that in addition to the incomplete version of the Liver Injury Repair Technique, there was another notification.


    [Ding! In your contribution to killing the mutant boss, your participation was deemed substantial, counting as a joint kill, resulting in rewards: 1 Memory Capsule; 2 Rare Skill Book!]


    Chen Cang¡¯s face lit up with joy!


    He had been worried that he only managed an assist, but now it counted as a joint kill, and he even obtained items.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang felt a little excited.


    [Memory Capsule: Memory +3 (permanent.)]


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes sparkled, this was indeed a great item!


    Permanent +3 to memory, was a significant help for a medical student.


    After all, with so many thick books to read and unsure of when it would end, not to mention all the vasculature and nerves of the body, just the thought of the ¡°Neurology¡± book was enough to make Chen Cang feel overwhelmed.


    Chen Cang casually saved the rare skill book and opened the skills he had learned through observation.


    [Incomplete Liver Injury Repair Technique: Master level; Note: The Liver Injury Repair Technique as a level four surgery includes liver suturing, liver debridement, hepatic artery ligation, hepatectomy, and tamponade hemostasis. The incomplete Liver Injury Repair Technique does not include hepatectomy, it is downgraded to level three surgery, eligible for learning! (Upon reaching level 40 or above, skills points can be spent to improve.)]


    After reading the system prompt, Chen Cang suddenly realized, this might truly not be a bad thing.


    At least now he was able to learn it!


    No matter how impressive a skill is, if it¡¯s of no use to oneself, then it¡¯s entirely pointless.


    Although it was incomplete, he had just been able to use it!


    Seeing the reward, Chen Cang suddenly felt that the meal was delicious, casually tossing the memory capsule into his mouth. It tasted pretty good!


    But¡­


    It seemed nothing had changed?


    Chen Cang muttered under his breath, ¡°Why isn¡¯t there any special effect, no flashes of lightning, shouldn¡¯t I at least feel my mind getting clearer? Could it be a counterfeit product?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    As Chen Cang was lost in thought, Qian Liang suddenly had a brainwave and remembered something!


    This weekend was the Dongyang Province Hepatobiliary Surgery Conference, and they needed to invite a few heavyweights to give lectures, right?


    And wasn¡¯t Zhou Hongguang right in front of him a perfect example?


    With that in mind, Qian Liang said, ¡°Director Zhou, do you have time this Saturday and Sunday?¡±


    Zhou Hongguang was slightly taken aback, ¡°Director Qian, what arrangements do you have in mind?¡±


    Qian Liang replied with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s the provincial surgical conference this weekend, I¡¯d like to invite Director Zhou to come over and hold the fort, and maybe give a lecture while you¡¯re there.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang was very busy, especially with the end-of-the-year academician selection to worry about.


    After thinking for a moment, Zhou Hongguang said, ¡°Director Qian, I can¡¯t make any promises right now, but how about this¡ªI¡¯ll check my schedule when I get back and see if I¡¯m free. I¡¯ll give you an answer by tomorrow night at the latest!¡±


    Today was Tuesday, and tomorrow was Wednesday. Qian Liang thought it over and felt there was still time.


    Qian Liang quickly said with a smile, ¡°Alright, that would be great, thank you, Director Zhou.¡±


    Qian Liang did have some gap with Zhou Hongguang after all. Although he was known as the go-to surgeon for hepatobiliary operations in Dongyang Province, the platform was different¡ªthe Hepatobiliary Surgery Department at the 301 Hospital and the one at Dongda Hospital were worlds apart.


    To be honest, Qian Liang felt a pang of sourness looking at Zhou Hongguang competing for an academician position, but an academician post was still out of his reach¡ªlacking papers, research projects, and most importantly, awards. These are limitations of region and platform, truly unavoidable.


    At this thought, Qian Liang sighed deeply inside, inevitably feeling a touch of melancholy.


    At this moment, Zhang Youfu suddenly said, ¡°Director Qian, I forgot to tell you something earlier. Chen Cang wants to join the Hepatobiliary Surgery Society.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Liang¡¯s eyes brightened immediately, ¡°That¡¯s great news! Welcome aboard.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Thank you, Director Qian.¡±


    Zhang Youfu continued, ¡°Director Qian, the thing is¡­ Chen Cang wants to be on the committee. He has prepared two papers, one on ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯ and the other for the ¡®British Journal of Surgery.¡¯ Isn¡¯t that right, Chen Cang? Have you received any news on the second one yet?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Not yet!¡±


    But ¡°Liver Transplantation¡± was indeed highly prestigious, even Zhou Hongguang immediately took note, ¡°Oh? Chen Cang, you published a paper in ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯?¡±


    Qian Liang was also quite shocked, ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯, wow!


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, it has been published already, it will be mailed over tomorrow.¡±


    Qian Liang weighed his options, ¡°One paper in ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯ should be enough, I¡¯ll put in a good word for you. Oh, and there¡¯s a surgical competition, you should enter. It would be great if you could win a prize, that way I¡¯d have more to say.¡±


    Chen Cang was delighted immediately, ¡°Okay, thank you, Director Qian.¡±


    Meanwhile, Zhou Hongguang, deep in thought, asked, ¡°Chen Cang, what will your surgery be about?¡±


    Chen Cang replied, ¡°I have prepared two surgeries, mainly based on the two papers, explaining two operations. One is an improved technique for appendectomy through a small incision, and the other is a study on a minimally invasive technique with a small wound, these two types of surgeries.¡±


    After pondering for a while, Zhou Hongguang looked up at Qian Liang and said, ¡°Director Qian, count me in for a spot. I¡¯ll definitely be there on Saturday, and I¡¯ll bring my students along to have a look. I think Chen Cang¡¯s ideas are excellent, and they should learn from him. It would also be best to expand their clinical thinking and innovation skills.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Liang was immediately overjoyed, not having expected Chen Cang to have this effect!

 Chapter 418 - Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Whatever is lacking, make up for it!

    Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Whatever is lacking, make up for it!


    The lunch spread was pretty great, and the restaurant was upscale too. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shoot a short video of the table full of dishes to send to Qin Yue.


    Qin Yue happened to be on duty today, and had a quick lunch. Upon seeing Chen Cang¡¯s message, she immediately got annoyed and snapped a picture of a bag of saline and a bag of glucose injection to send back to him: ¡°This is your ration for the week! Ruthless and shameless/jpg!¡±


    Chen Cang was instantly amused but, being the survivor he was, after finishing his meal, he bought a cup of Qin Yue¡¯s favorite fruit milk tea and delivered it to her.


    ¡­


    It was already past two in the afternoon, and after being busy all morning, Qin Yue hadn¡¯t had any chance to rest. She had just returned to the duty room and before she could even catch her breath, she was suddenly embraced by someone!


    Qin Yue was shocked!


    The rapid movements were fierce, and in an instant, she executed a sharp series of self-defense techniques, promptly overpowering Chen Cang.


    Alright, Chen Cang admitted he didn¡¯t dare to move, afraid of hurting his dear student, Qin Xiaotian.


    At this moment, Qin Yue was just about to wield her knife and have little Chen Cang at her mercy.


    Chen Cang¡¯s face turned pale as he cried out, ¡°Think twice, my lady¡­¡±


    Only then did Qin Yue realize it was Chen Cang!


    She was shocked and delighted all at once!


    But her hand was already moving towards a critical area, and after a moment¡¯s thought, she considered that it was her possession, which would be no good to her if broken¡­ After contemplating, she decided to let it go and stopped the action!


    Chen Cang was relieved, feeling a chilling sensation spreading up from below.


    He grumbled to himself, why had girls become so violent these days?


    Instead of studying arts and music properly, they were all learning self-defense techniques¡­


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but worry about his own future.


    But¡­ being held was truly comfortable¡­ he lingered in the feeling!


    With that thought, Chen Cang decided to play dead to hug her a little longer!


    ¡°Let go now!¡± Qin Yue snapped, being held by Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang¡¯s face changed, and he quickly let go and scooted to sit on the side.


    Qin Yue was stunned for a moment and couldn¡¯t help but curse silently: Idiot, I told you to let go and you actually did? Fool!


    Seeing Chen Cang sitting on the bed still shaken, Qin Yue suddenly felt an inexplicable worry¡­


    After all, she remembered during her rotation in the urology department, there had been patients who were scared stiff¡­


    At this thought, Qin Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had frightened him into a state of impotence¡­ bounce back?


    With this in mind, Qin Yue coughed and glanced at Chen Cang¡¯s lower body, hinting, ¡°Hey! Are you alright down there?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed and looked at Qin Yue with a pitiful expression, saying, ¡°I¡¯ll be fine if you let me hug you.¡±


    Qin Yue rolled her eyes at Chen Cang¡¯s clingy demeanor, ¡°Yeah right, dream on?¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up, seizing the opportunity to ask, ¡°Can I?¡±


    Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s smarmy look, Qin Yue wanted to kick him to death. He was so cheeky¡­


    Qin Yue had seen through him now; Chen Cang was simply a beast in clothing, sleazy to no end when not in his white coat!


    With a sigh, Qin Yue took off her white coat, sat down in a chair, and took a deep breath, looking at Chen Cang with disdain: ¡°You go out to eat good food and don¡¯t even think to pack some for me!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled: ¡°Eat less at noon, and tonight I¡¯ll take you out for hot pot! There¡¯s a new lamb spine restaurant near Dongda First Hospital that looks well-decorated, let¡¯s go check it out tonight!¡±


    At the promise of hot pot, Qin Yue instantly felt reinvigorated, as if she had her health fully restored. If she could get a milk tea at this moment, her energy would definitely be topped up too. Immediately she said cheerily, ¡°Sounds good!¡±


    Just then, Chen Cang hastily pulled out the milk tea from behind his back: ¡°Ta-da! What¡¯s this!¡±


    As soon as Qin Yue saw the milk tea, her eyes practically sparkled!


    Her eyes fluttered rapidly, filled with joy!


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    In a flash, Qin Yue pecked Chen Cang lightly on the cheek, faster than lightning!


    And then he snatched the milk tea away!


    Chen Cang was stunned for a moment, only feeling a whiff of fragrance sweeping past him, and then the milk tea was gone.


    Chen Cang felt a burst of joy inside, but his expression changed, ¡°You licentious scoundrel, how dare you take liberties with me! And you even snatched my milk tea.¡±


    After saying that, Chen Cang pitifully touched his face, looking all forlorn and with teary eyes at Qin Yue.


    Qin Yue was dumbfounded, she never expected¡­ Chen Cang could be so shameless.


    ¡°Where¡¯s your face?¡±


    Chen Cang immediately returned to normal, chuckled hehe, and turned his right cheek over, saying, ¡°It¡¯s right here! Want to do it again?¡±


    A smile appeared on Qin Yue¡¯s face, and she affectionately said, ¡°Scram!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but snort, and then patted the bed, saying cheerfully, ¡°Come, sit here, closer.¡±


    When Qin Yue heard this, she didn¡¯t refuse and obediently got up and sat beside Chen Cang, tilting her head just so that she could rest it on his shoulder.


    Qin Yue felt a surge of joy inside. The internet says, this is the most perfect and suitable couple¡¯s height, where a girl can just lie on a boy¡¯s shoulder.


    Mmm¡­ it really is comfortable!


    Qin Yue, despite being in her late twenties, still had the heart of a girl. She had never been in a relationship all these years, staying in the ivory tower until graduation, then coming to work at the Second Provincial Hospital.


    The Second Provincial Hospital was still within her daddy Qin¡¯s ¡°sphere of influence,¡± so life had been quite comfortable for her.


    However, no matter what, Chen Cang was the first real boyfriend she had in her twenty-something years.


    In school, she had also had crushes on other boys, but as she grew up, she realized she only liked certain moments about them, and as time passed, those names would fade from memory.


    Love, for Qin Yue, was sacred and grand. She filled it with all the fantasies that every girl has.


    Lying on Chen Cang¡¯s shoulder, Qin Yue sipped on her milk tea through a straw, and suddenly felt that this must be happiness.


    If time could just pass by slowly, and they aged together at this pace, that would also be a happy thing.


    Of course, all this was based on the assumption that no one would open the door.


    Just as Qin Yue was pondering which kindergarten their child should attend¡­


    There came a click, and a figure darted inside.


    Qin Yue was like a startled bunny, quickly getting up and tiptoeing to sit on a chair nearby, acting all prim and proper as if nothing happened.


    Wang Qian walked in, paused, and said, ¡°Huh? Both of you are here! Why so quiet?¡±


    Qin Yue rolled her eyes, ¡°I¡¯m on duty! Where else would I be if not here?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°I had a meal and it was two o¡¯clock, nowhere to go, so I came here to lie down for a bit.¡±


    Wang Qian uh-huhed, ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a nap?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed deeply, ¡°There¡¯s a woman here; I¡¯m afraid. Just in case something happens, I wouldn¡¯t be committing a crime!¡±


    Wang Qian nearly choked, and Qin Yue almost choked on her milk tea, glaring at Chen Cang fiercely: You¡¯re asking for it!


    Chen Cang quickly responded with his eyes: Calm down, it¡¯s just a stall for time, a stall for time!


    Wang Qian gave Chen Cang a disdainful look, ¡°Cang Er, I tell you, you really have no shame! If I were Qin Yue, I¡¯d at most take out one of your kidneys!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue immediately chimed in, ¡°Exactly, you better watch out!¡±


    Wang Qian did a round and took off, but Qin Yue dared not move over there anymore, after all¡­ she didn¡¯t want to be discovered¡­


    Chen Cang suddenly asked curiously, ¡°Why do you like drinking milk tea so much?¡±


    Qin Yue was startled and seemed to have no particular reason, ¡°What¡¯s your guess?¡±


    Chen Cang thought for a moment, then had a flash of inspiration, ¡°Compensating for what you lack?¡±


    ¡­

 Chapter 419 - Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Manual Reduction

    Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Manual Reduction


    Dongyang Province is a region with distinct seasons.


    However, the lingering power of the autumn ¡°tiger¡± was still fearsome.


    People who had started wearing thermal underwear gradually began to feel the heat again.


    But by evening, the weather would turn cool abruptly, with the temperature difference between day and night becoming more and more pronounced.


    Around six o¡¯clock, when it was almost time to get off work, a figure had been pacing back and forth outside the emergency room office for a while but hesitated for a long time without daring to enter.


    Nurse Xiaolin looked outside and said to Chang Lina, ¡°Sister Na, there¡¯s someone lingering outside the emergency room, but¡­ they don¡¯t dare to come in for quite some time.¡±


    Chang Lina, bolder than Xiaolin and known for her forthright and fearless nature, might not always watch her words, but she was tough as nails!


    In Xiaolin¡¯s words, had she lived in ancient times, she would have been a heroic bandit¡ªno! A chivalrous woman who robbed the rich to help the poor.


    Driven by curiosity, Chang Lina immediately suggested, ¡°Shall I go have a look?¡±


    As she spoke, she got up and walked out towards the emergency room entrance. Once outside, she saw a vagrant pacing at the door, vacillating but not entering.


    Clad in tattered clothes, the vagrant exuded a foul odor detectable from a distance of three to five meters. His clothes were frayed, layer upon layer, and his hair unkempt.


    He dragged along a pile of recyclables, including cans, cardboard, and plastic water bottles, seemingly all his possessions.


    Pedestrians on the road steered clear of the vagrant at the sight of him.


    Upon seeing Chang Lina emerge, the vagrant immediately turned, as if startled, and began to drag his belongings away.


    Chang Lina paused, then quickly called out, ¡°Hey, wait a moment!¡±


    At the shout, the vagrant hesitated before taking a couple of steps forward and then stopping.


    Chang Lina called out, ¡°Is there something I can help you with?¡±


    Indeed, this kind of situation was quite common in the emergency room, with beggars, vagrants, or individuals with mental illnesses often showing up at the entrance.


    Emergency room security guard Qin Taishan saw what was happening and hurried outside, saying to the vagrant, ¡°Is there something wrong? If there¡¯s no issue, please move back to where you were. This is the emergency room; don¡¯t block the safety corridor.¡±


    The vagrant nodded quickly at this and began to move aside with his belongings. However, it appeared that he was unable to lift his left arm.


    Qin Taishan shook his head; such matters were not his responsibility. He would just turn a blind eye.


    At this precise moment, it was six o¡¯clock, and there were many staff leaving work. Seeing the vagrant, the departing crowd likewise gave him a wide berth.


    Seeing him unresponsive, Chang Lina sighed and, deciding not to meddle further, returned to the emergency room lobby.


    After handing over their shift work, Qin Yue and Wang Qian were ready to leave. Looking towards Chen Cang, Wang Qian said, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    After reaching the emergency room lobby, they suddenly noticed that the vagrant outside had circled back. This time, however, he seemed to be empty-handed, having left his assortment of items in a corner before coming back.


    But there he stood at the door, still not daring to enter.


    Immediately, Chang Lina spoke, ¡°Doctor Chen, that man has been at the door for quite some time; I think there might be something wrong with his arm.¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Cang hesitated before saying to Qin Yue, ¡°Wait for me for a moment.¡±


    With that, he stood up and walked towards the outside.


    The vagrant quickly moved aside upon seeing Chen Cang emerge, not daring to obstruct his way.


    But Chen Cang was deliberately seeking him out.


    As he approached, Chen Cang inquired, ¡°I am a doctor from the Second Provincial Hospital. Do you need any help?¡±


    The vagrant took out a plastic bag of instant noodles from his pocket, unfolded it, and revealed a white plastic bag inside filled with one and five yuan notes as well as a large amount of coins. Chen Cang estimated that it was probably around two hundred yuan in total.


    The vagrant handed the money to Chen Cang, uttering, ¡°Ah ah oh uh¡­ um ah¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback. Was this man mute?


    The vagrant grew anxious, pointed to his arm, tried to exert some force, and indicated that he couldn¡¯t move it.


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°You can¡¯t move your arm?¡±


    The vagrant nodded vigorously, ¡°Mhm, mhm, mhm!¡±


    Chen Cang hesitated for a while, his habitual thinking reminded him, ¡°Let¡¯s get an X-ray!¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°We need to do an X-ray to see if there¡¯s a fracture.¡±


    The homeless man quickly shook his head, not wanting to go inside; then he stepped back and pointed at his body, seemingly saying: I won¡¯t go, I¡¯m filthy, I¡¯ll dirty the floor and the machine.


    At this moment, Qin Yue came out, and the homeless man immediately stepped back several more feet, as if terrified of choking the girl.


    Seeing this, Qin Yue approached: ¡°We need to see if your arm is fractured.¡±


    The homeless man shook his head: ¡°Ah¡­ Uh-huh!¡±


    He gestured with his arm, pulling it downwards.


    Chen Cang was startled, Was it dislocated?


    Realizing this, Chen Cang remembered that he knew how to manually reduce a dislocation, so he said to the man, ¡°Come here, let me feel it and see what¡¯s wrong, and if it hurts, just call out.¡±


    The homeless man hesitated, then pointed at Chen Cang¡¯s hand and then at his own arm, shook his head, and made a glove gesture.


    It seemed he was saying: I¡¯m very dirty, don¡¯t get your hands dirty, please wear gloves.


    Chen Cang momentarily felt a softness in his heart and smiled, shaking his head: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll wash my hands afterward.¡±


    The man hesitated, then tried to take off his outer clothes, but he couldn¡¯t manage it; after all, his left arm was drooping and immobile, and his right arm was also struggling in vain.


    Qin Yue stepped forward, not minding the dirt, and directly unfastened the buttons, helping him take off his clothes.


    Seeing this, the homeless man suddenly started to cry silently, without speaking.


    Once his arm was exposed, Qin Yue turned to Chen Cang and said, ¡°Shall I call Xue Liang from orthopedics?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°Let me check first.¡±


    As he spoke, he lifted the man¡¯s arm and pinched it here and there, constantly asking, Does it hurt?


    After exposing the shoulder, Chen Cang saw the obvious depression in the homeless man¡¯s left deltoid muscle, which was¡­ a typical squared shoulder deformity. Upon pressing the axilla and infraglenoid tubercle lightly with his hand, Chen Cang could feel the displaced humeral head, and moreover¡­ the glenoid was empty!


    This should be¡­ a dislocated shoulder, shouldn¡¯t it?


    Chen Cang had made a tentative diagnosis.


    Then, Chen Cang tried to lean his left hand onto his right shoulder and found he couldn¡¯t lay it atop; the touch-the-shoulder test was positive!


    Now, it was confirmed that there was a shoulder dislocation. As for a fracture¡­ it was hard to say, but seeing the symptoms, it was unlikely, though to know for sure, an X-ray would be needed.


    However, the homeless man was adamant against entering the hospital, running away at the mention of it, and Chen Cang was at a loss.


    Let¡¯s reduce it!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang quietly stabilized one hand on the acromion, while the other hand held the patient¡¯s left elbow, slowly and continuously applying vertical traction with external rotation. Suddenly exerting force, he immediately felt a sensation of the joint slipping into place!


    It¡¯s in!


    The homeless man, seemingly accustomed to joint dislocations, did not show too much discomfort.


    As he was about to move, Chen Cang quickly stopped him and, using the man¡¯s own clothes, fashioned a sling to stabilize his arm.


    ¡°You¡¯ll need to keep it immobilized for a month, and don¡¯t move it around.¡±


    Seeing this, the homeless man nodded eagerly, trying to stuff a couple of hundred dollars in change into Chen Cang¡¯s hands.


    Chen Cang quickly refused.


    Qin Yue wanted to help the homeless man put his clothes on, but he hurriedly ran away.


    So they had to give up!


    However, they saw the homeless man run about seven or eight meters away before suddenly kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Chen Cang and Qin Yue.


    In no time, the growing crowd of onlookers began taking out their phones to take pictures.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang and Qin Yue quickly ran into the emergency hall.

 Chapter 420 - Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Teacher Meng wont hit me, right?

    Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Teacher Meng won¡¯t hit me, right?


    The area around the homeless man had already erupted into excitement, with a large crowd gathered, taking photos.


    Some with a strong sense of gossip even went up to ask, ¡°Hey? Did he fix it for you?¡±


    ¡°Right, right, right, are you okay now?¡±


    ¡­


    Facing a barrage of questions, the homeless man suddenly became disoriented, having never seen such a spectacle before, for on a regular day, everyone steered clear of him.


    What followed was an unintelligible jumble of ¡°hmm¡± and ¡°ah¡± as he gesticulated wildly before hurrying to his feet and leaving.


    Dragging his belongings with a clattering sound, he headed off into the distance.


    He left the crowd with astonished faces!


    ¡°Really fixed?¡±


    ¡°Definitely! Didn¡¯t you see his hand can now move?¡±


    ¡°That miraculous?!¡±


    ¡°Did anyone get a clear shot of that just now?¡±


    ¡­


    A group of people engaged in animated discussion, full of surprise, because to them, this seemed utterly implausible ¨C when anyone broke a bone and went to the hospital, wasn¡¯t it standard procedure to take X-rays, perform examinations, and finally undergo surgery¡­?


    Basically, it went like this:


    X-ray!


    Surgery!


    Stitches!


    Splints!


    Nails!


    Whereas the young man from just now, with a few quick maneuvers, was all fixed up. Was he some kind of martial arts master?


    Everyone was somewhat perplexed!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After returning to the emergency hall, Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang with a sense of amazement and asked, ¡°You¡­ just now¡­ what was that?¡±


    Chang Lina was visibly excited, having seen Chen Cang fix the other person up just like that, she was genuinely shocked!


    ¡°Xiao Chen¡­ no! Hero Chen? Was that a secret martial arts technique just now?¡±


    Indeed!


    In Chang Lina¡¯s view, the technique Chen Cang had just performed surpassed his medical knowledge. He¡¯d only ever seen such things on TV, and those were martial arts dramas where a supporting character got injured, broke an arm, and then the hero would fix it up swiftly and vigorously!


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes ¨C what was she even talking about?


    ¡°That was manual reduction. A common technique in orthopedics.¡±


    ¡°I had thought about bringing him in for an X-ray to see if there was a fracture, but the man was just not willing to come inside. Left with no choice, I just performed the reduction for him. Luckily, it was just a joint dislocation and didn¡¯t need a plaster cast to immobilize it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not as mystical as you¡¯re making it out to be!¡± Chen Cang said, watching Chang Lina, he couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Chang Lina was taken aback, ¡°Manual reduction? That¡¯s like the stuff they do on TV, right? Who does manual reductions these days? I¡¯ve never seen it.¡±


    As she spoke, Chang Lina was determined to have Chen Cang explain it properly to her.


    Qin Yue struck Chang Lina on the head with a flick, adopting an air of someone with experience and said, ¡°Read more if you¡¯re uneducated, stop babbling and embarrassing yourself!¡±


    Chang Lina touched her head, feeling aggrieved, ¡°Ah, there goes my dream of martial arts again!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After Chen Cang and Qin Yue tidied up, they left through the main entrance.


    Just out of the hospital, Qin Yue¡¯s eyes widened with curiosity, and she asked, ¡°Chen Cang, since when did you know how to perform manual reductions?¡±


    Chang Lina might not understand manual reduction, but Qin Yue did!


    You see, Qin Yue¡¯s mentor, Shi Na, was in orthopedics, and Qin Yue was no stranger to the discipline. Manual reduction was not only difficult to learn but also rarely practiced by anyone nowadays.


    Surgery offered both income and security, so why not stick to it, right?


    Furthermore, manual reduction came with its own risks; if not successful, it could lead to secondary injuries to the surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and tissues, potentially worsening the condition.


    As a medical procedure, no one wishes to see it except when necessary.


    However, the skill of manual reduction requires constant practice and improvement in order to master the technique, and Wang Xiangjun was able to achieve this only through thousands of patients; he¡¯s a veteran who once participated in earthquake relief efforts.


    So gradually, the number of people who can perform this manual reduction technique may become fewer and fewer!


    Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue with a curious and admiring face, his vanity swelling to the point of bursting¡ªhe was feeling quite delighted.


    Having a young girl admire you felt so great.


    Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°During my internship, there was a doctor in the department who I followed for a while. He could handle simple issues, and later I read some books, explored a bit¡­¡±


    ¡°Today just happened to come across one, and using it, the effect was really good.¡±


    Qin Yue was extremely satisfied on the inside¡ªwhen Chen Cang was awesome, she was happy.


    ¡°Awesome!¡±


    ¡°So strong!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re so great!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help coughing, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the excessive praise¡ªit was a bit nauseating.


    The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards the newly opened lamb spine hot pot restaurant.


    [Ding! Medical Compassion mission completed, reward: Partial Human Anatomy Detailed Explanation, note, you can randomly select a human bodily system to learn, such as the digestive system, blood circulation system, respiratory system, etc. When the class is over, you will master it proficiently.]


    Upon seeing the system prompt, Chen Cang was immediately delighted!


    This was something great!


    The first reaction that came to Chen Cang¡¯s mind was the nervous system!


    As the most tormenting and intellectually demanding field, the nervous system was undeniably so!


    Chen Cang had been tormented by neurology countless times to the point of falling asleep as soon as he hit the bed.


    Could it be that he was about to conquer it now?


    But¡­ after conquering it, Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t need it for a while¡ªthat was the key.


    Thinking this over, Chen Cang calmed down a bit, and after a thorough analysis, suddenly thought of another system second only to the nervous system: the ¡°blood circulation system.¡±


    This might be what he needed most at present, right?


    Thinking of the major vascular surgery in a few months, Chen Cang, after much consideration, decided to choose the blood circulation system.


    Actually, they were all quite useful¡­


    Chen Cang looked at each system with envy.


    However, he could only choose the one most suitable for himself.


    [Select Blood Circulation System!]


    ¡­


    Qin Yue, noticing Chen Cang lost in thought, asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you not hungry?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head with a smile, ¡°Nope!¡±


    Qin Yue said ¡°Oh,¡± and added, ¡°I thought you weren¡¯t hungry. If you¡¯re not, give me that bone. Don¡¯t waste it!¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless: ¡°¡­¡±


    What¡¯s it like having a foodie girlfriend?


    Chen Cang was helpless!


    Looking at Qin Yue, he sighed. You¡¯re not a little fawn anymore; you¡¯re a little wolf pup!


    During the meal, Qin Yue suddenly got excited, ¡°Chen Cang, which vertebra is this?¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes speechlessly, ¡°Do you think this is a person? I¡¯m not about to study the vertebrae of a sheep!¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s eyes sparkled, and she returned to her adoring Xiao Qin persona, and said with admiration, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you know everything?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s vanity surged again, and he almost couldn¡¯t resist asking the system if he could regret his choice, not choosing the blood circulation system but choosing the skeletal system of a sheep instead!


    Not for anything else, just so that he could show off the next time he ate lamb spine!


    Ah!


    Chen Cang sighed¡ªthey say beauty brings trouble!


    Ah¡­ such sin!


    Suddenly, Chen Cang remembered¡­ tonight, it seemed¡­ Teacher Meng wasn¡¯t resting, oh no¡­

 Chapter 421 - Chapter 421: Chapter 421: My medical record is already desperate for attention!

    Chapter 421: Chapter 421: My medical record is already desperate for attention!


    In October, the provincial standardized training examination for Dongyang Province concluded across the province.


    As a qualified unit to host the standardized training, Provincial Hospital No. 2 naturally had a group of students signing up.


    For the doctors at this hospital, this was undoubtedly good news.


    After all, it immediately eased the doctors¡¯ workload.


    This group of trainees arrived a bit later than the graduate students, who were fewer in number and¡­ most importantly, these trainees each had connections. If they didn¡¯t rotate properly through the departments, their own mentors would call them back.


    Each mentor was at a director level, and since they all worked in the same hospital, it would have been awkward to reject their requests and lose face.


    However, the standardized trainees were relatively more down-to-earth.


    During the morning handover, when Li Baoshan shared the news with everyone, the office buzzed with excitement.


    Zhang Shu was the first to laugh and say, ¡°We¡¯ve got standardized trainees? Bring them on quick! Director, get us more!¡±


    ¡°Exactly! My case reports are desperately thirsty!¡± Doctor Hu from the emergency internal medicine department laughed and joked.


    ¡°Finally, I don¡¯t have to carry medical records during rounds. I feel like I have juniors now¡­¡± Wang Qian couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Hearing these words, Li Baoshan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°They¡¯re here to learn, not to be your errand runners. Keep the right attitude!¡±


    ¡°Everyone knows what the emergency department is like. We¡¯re definitely busy, no doubt about it, and everyone works hard,¡± he continued.


    ¡°But coming here for standardized training is about learning skills; studying is the goal, and working is the means. In two months, when they finish their rotation, I will organize an assessment. If the students don¡¯t pass, their mentors will be held accountable.¡±


    Li Baoshan¡¯s words made everyone pause for a moment.


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    Just as Li Baoshan was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to add, ¡°Oh, and¡­ the standardized trainees are already working professionals. During their training period, they get less than 2000 yuan a month. Those with positions at their units are fine, they get a basic salary of about three to four thousand a month, but those without units just get around 2000 yuan. They¡¯re all young and at an age when they need to spend money, so if you can cover a meal for them, do that, and try not to treat them like free labor.¡±


    Indeed, in Anyang City, a meal isn¡¯t expensive¡ªten yuan or so¡ªbut it¡¯s about showing consideration.


    Li Baoshan was indeed a detail-oriented person. When Chen Cang took temp jobs, Li Baoshan would always let him take on money-making tasks to earn a bit extra.


    ¡°Right, let¡¯s have Bingsheng serve as the secretary for the standardized trainees in our department. Bingsheng, when the trainees arrive, you allocate them. Try to ensure that every doctor has one trainee, and the busier ones have two,¡± he said.


    Chen Bingsheng nodded, ¡°Understood, Director.¡±


    Li Baoshan felt quite assured about Chen Bingsheng and then left.


    Wang Qian sighed, ¡°Ah, come quickly, I am a man with standardized trainees now!¡±


    An Yanjun glanced at Wang Qian and commented lightly, ¡°Don¡¯t you already have a graduate student following you? Where did they go?¡±


    Wang Qian sighed, ¡°Teacher An, you don¡¯t know the half of it. That kid is a graduate student of Director Yang from the pulmonary disease department. He got called back to work in their department. I¡­ didn¡¯t dare to ask or say anything. After all, that¡¯s Director Yang¡¯s student. Ah¡­ what a headache!¡±


    An Yanjun nodded in understanding. There was no need to offend a director over a student when you run into each other all the time.


    Wang Qian laughed, looking at An Yanjun with amusement, ¡°It¡¯s still fine for me. That kid feels a bit guilty sometimes and comes over to fill out a case report for me. Chen Cang also has a student, but¡­ it seems they haven¡¯t shown up since reporting in!¡±


    Chen Cang was suddenly taken aback, ¡°I have a student? How come I don¡¯t know!¡±


    Wang Qian burst into laughter, ¡°Haha, see, you don¡¯t even know you have a student!¡±


    Indeed, Chen Bingsheng had arranged a graduate student for Chen Cang, but¡­ Chen Cang himself didn¡¯t know about it!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but crack up himself, ¡°How did I not know about this.¡±


    Wang Qian said directly, ¡°The guy is Dean Li¡¯s graduate student, what do you think you need to do?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed¡­ It didn¡¯t matter anymore, with or without an assistant, it was the same job.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    It was a little past ten in the morning.


    The residents arrived, a swarm of more than twenty people, and the emergency department¡¯s office suddenly felt crowded.


    After registering their information in turn, Chen Bingsheng arranged the staffing.


    First, he satisfied the needs of the older, busier doctors, and then it was time for the younger ones like Chen Cang.


    It had to be said that there were still more girls than boys studying medicine, with the ratio probably around 1:2.


    Just as it was Chen Cang¡¯s turn, Chen Bingsheng was about to speak to a young girl.


    Qin Yue stared at him intently.


    Chen Bingsheng had to clear his throat and said to the boy already assigned to Wang Qian, ¡°This, Wang Qian, this girl is for you, and little Xu, you follow Dr. Chen Cang!¡±


    Qin Yue then narrowed her eyes with a smile, looking at Chen Bingsheng cheerfully.


    Chen Cang and Wang Qian exchanged a glance.


    When Wang Qian saw the pretty young girl, his spirits lifted instantly, and he smiled!


    Chen Cang looked helpless but heard Qin Yue comment in an undertone, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, feeling a little disappointed?¡±


    Chen Cang immediately shook his head, ¡°Of course not; I¡¯m relieved!¡±


    Only then was Qin Yue satisfied¡­


    Looking at the nearly one hundred eighty pounds plump man walking towards him, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh and thought to himself, ¡°Though not a feast for the eyes¡­ it¡¯s still festive, quite nice.¡±


    The man said with a smile, ¡°Hello, Teacher Chen, my name is Xu Dongdong.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and smiled, ¡°Hmm, you¡­ you¡¯ve started working already, right?¡±


    Xu Dongdong nodded, ¡°I¡¯m at Lan County People¡¯s Hospital in the General Surgery department, just started this past September.¡±


    When he heard Lan County People¡¯s Hospital, Chen Cang paused slightly.


    Xu Dongdong had something in common with Qian Lin, except Qian Lin was a bit darker and not as jovial as this young man.


    ¡°How old are you?¡±


    ¡°27! I just graduated from Chongqing Medical University, specialized in General Surgery during my master¡¯s.¡± Xu Dongdong saw that Chen Cang wasn¡¯t much older and smiled, ¡°Teacher Chen, are you even 30 yet?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°We¡¯re the same age, but¡­ why didn¡¯t you come to the province for your postgraduate work?¡±


    Xu Dongdong had a good attitude, ¡°I¡¯m a scholarly master¡¯s, not a professional one, so I don¡¯t have the certification for residency training. The provincial hospitals won¡¯t take us. Just so happens my hometown Lan County is bringing in talent this year, offering 200,000 RMB for settling in. Besides, Lan County is developing quite well too. Director Duan is very nice to me, sent me straight for residency training out of town.¡±


    ¡°Besides, it doesn¡¯t matter where you practice medicine, right? Lan County is also good, plenty of opportunities, less pressure, and it¡¯s not far from Anyang City, I¡¯m quite happy with it.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded; the young man was good, at least optimistic and cheerful.

 Chapter 422 - Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Mission and Vocation

    Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Mission and Vocation


    The emergency room truly is a place that toughens people!


    Just after ten in the morning, right after the trainees had been assigned, two emergency patients were brought in.


    One was a middle-aged manager who suddenly fainted at work, and the other was an elderly man with acute myocardial infarction on a bus.


    The entire emergency department once again fell into a flurry of activity.


    Since there were many doctors present, the rescue operation was quickly organized.


    Zhang Shu was in charge of rescuing the patient who had fainted.


    Meanwhile, Chen Bingsheng immediately launched a series of rescues for the patient with acute myocardial infarction.


    Chen Cang followed close behind, ready to assist at any moment.


    The patient was a 78-year-old man with a history of chronic coronary heart disease. That morning, after losing several games of chess in the park and feeling downcast, he boarded a bus and got into an argument with someone, which triggered the heart attack.


    The older man he had argued with was also startled.


    After all¡­ how could one suddenly have a heart attack?


    If something happened, would he be legally responsible?


    Fortunately, this other elder did not have heart disease, otherwise¡­ the situation could have escalated greatly.


    Thankfully, the bus driver responded swiftly and drove directly to the emergency department of the nearby provincial hospital.


    Due to his advanced age and multiple underlying conditions, the patient¡¯s rescue was fraught with difficulties, and he nearly passed away several times!


    The trainees watched on the side with hearts pounding, afraid to even take a breath.


    After all, this was a living, breathing human life!


    After a rescue operation that lasted 40 minutes, the elderly man was finally brought back from the brink of death.


    Actually, Chen Bingsheng and his team had been prepared for the possibility that the rescue might fail.


    Given the man¡¯s advanced age, previous medical history, and poor heart function, not to mention the minutes that had passed from the onset of the attack until reaching the hospital¡­ that he was revived was nothing short of miraculous.


    The family had been anxiously waiting outside the whole time.


    When Chen Bingsheng informed the family of the successful rescue, they burst into tears of joy!


    The 78-year-old man had been saved from a heart attack, and although he still needed thrombolysis or interventional treatment, at least his life was saved.


    The patient who fainted was diagnosed with transient cerebral ischemia and was transferred to the neurology department.


    The sudden arrival of these two patients made all the trainees on-site realize that the next two months they faced were not an act, but a genuine confrontation with death itself.


    A single mishap could lead to a patient¡¯s death!


    In that moment, everyone was silently filled with deep reflection.


    In just an hour, they witnessed the fragility of life and the critical importance of rescue work!


    When they saw the family members crying tears of happiness, they suddenly realized the tremendous hope and trust placed upon them, a burden far too heavy!


    At that moment, they also clearly recognized that they were the last line of defense for people¡¯s lives!


    Even if they were not yet imposing figures, they would ultimately protect people¡¯s health!


    It was simply because they wore white coats,


    And they were called doctors.


    This was their duty,


    And their mission!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    There¡¯s never a dull moment in the emergency room; just when they were about to finish their shift, they received another trauma patient¡ªa chef and part-time owner of a Xinjiang cuisine restaurant on Heaven Street.


    Upon arrival, there was a sense of urgency, with the patient in a frantic state.


    ¡°Doctor, doctor! Hurry, hurry, my finger¡¯s cut off!¡± The patient was a bald man in his forties, plump with fat cheeks.


    Chen Cang quickly stood up and said to the patient, ¡°Follow me!¡±


    The chef, seeing Chen Cang, immediately brightened up: ¡°Okay, okay!¡±


    Xu Dongdong also followed Chen Cang into the treatment room and couldn¡¯t help feeling queasy at the sight of the wound¡­


    ¡°How did you get this injury?¡± Chen Cang asked calmly.


    The chef grinned, ¡°Cut it myself!¡±


    Xu Dongdong, upon hearing this, felt a chill, appalled at the severity the chef had inflicted upon himself¡­


    Though the injury looked messy with blood and flesh, after cleaning it up, Chen Cang carefully examined it and found it was not too serious, with some damage to the index finger¡¯s tendons and nerves.


    Looks like there¡¯ll be no rest this afternoon!


    Lunch¡­ probably out of the question too.


    Glancing at Xu Dongdong who was following him, he couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°You just got here and already you have to starve with me.¡±


    Xu Dongdong patted his belly, ¡°No worries, I¡¯ve got plenty of reserve energy.¡±


    Though it was said in jest, Xu Dongdong could tell that Teacher Chen often missed lunch, right?


    With the nurse¡¯s help, the patient quickly had some imaging done and blood taken for urgent testing, waiting for the results before officially entering the operating room.


    The patient seemed to have a good attitude, at this time more concerned about Chen Cang than his own condition, ¡°Doctor, it¡¯s the middle of the day and this thing has come up¡­ Ah, it¡¯s disrupted your mealtime. How about you come to eat at my restaurant after the surgery? It¡¯s my treat!¡±


    ¡°Keeping you all busy through the afternoon, I feel quite embarrassed,¡± the patient seemed genuinely apologetic that Chen Cang had missed lunch because of him.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but be caught between laughter and tears at this, while Xu Dongdong seemed to be quite looking forward to it¡­


    The anesthetist on duty was Liu Jian, who smiled upon seeing Chen Cang and then glanced at the boy beside him, ¡°Xiao Chen, is this the resident trainee?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Liu Jian smiled and kindly advised, ¡°Learn as much as you can from Doctor Chen.¡±


    Xu Dongdong nodded his head.


    Although he was about the same age as Chen Cang, he still had a lot to learn when it came to experience and clinical expertise.


    Liu Jian really held Chen Cang in high regard; whenever he saw that Chen Cang had a surgery scheduled, no matter how big or small, Liu Jian would make a point to come and take charge of the anesthesia.


    It was a task that not even other directors could call him away from.


    Chen Cang was very grateful for this.


    For a surgeon, having a good anesthetist is a guarantee for the smooth progress of the operation.


    The brachial plexus block anesthesia was simple, and once it was done, Chen Cang began to suture.


    Liu Jian watched Xu Dongdong, couldn¡¯t resist pointing out, ¡°Doctor Chen¡¯s tendon suturing is unrivaled.¡±


    It was a true statement.


    The patient sighed, ¡°Doctor, you have to do this well for me. If it¡¯s stitched up nicely, I¡¯ll personally cook for you when you come to my restaurant. I¡¯m not boasting, but my cooking is truly something special, it¡¯s a pity that¡­ Ah!¡±


    Chen Cang was torn between laughter and tears, wondering if the patient was more worried about his fingers or promoting his restaurant.


    The surgery was quick ¨C it took less than twenty minutes to complete, and the patient could feel his fingers almost immediately.


    When he wanted to move them, Chen Cang promptly stopped him.


    After giving instructions back in the ward, he said, ¡°You¡¯ll need to stay in the hospital for observation for the next couple of days, then you can be discharged and will need regular rehabilitation.¡±


    The patient was still worried. It was already two-thirty, and no matter how he tried, he couldn¡¯t get Chen Cang to go to his restaurant.


    So, he simply picked up the phone and called his restaurant, ¡°Make some dishes and send them over, yes! Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s emergency department, the signature ones, the heavy hitters! Right, right, right, make a little extra¡­ Oh, and bring some naan as well!¡±


    Less than twenty minutes later, a man carrying both large and small boxes rushed into the emergency ward. Seeing his boss sitting there, he quickly asked, ¡°Bro, are you alright?¡±


    The patient shook his head, ¡°Follow me.¡±


    During their conversation, they went to the doctors¡¯ office.


    The patient said cheerfully, ¡°Doctor, consider it a token of my appreciation; have some food from our restaurant. It doesn¡¯t cost much.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard all afternoon without eating; I¡¯m really thankful to you.¡±


    Touched by the man¡¯s actions, Chen Cang smiled, stood up, and said thank you.


    The man waved his hand dismissively, ¡°Ah, don¡¯t mention it!¡±


    After leaving, the man placed a bag of naan in the doctors¡¯ office and another at the nurses¡¯ station.


    The meal wasn¡¯t extravagant, but the sentiment was heartfelt, and it moved Chen Cang.


    What matters is that your efforts are recognized, your dedication is appreciated ¨C that¡¯s enough.


    Sometimes, it¡¯s not about seeking gratitude in return; a simple thank you can be more than enough.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: Today, when I checked my old book ¡°The Top Student¡¯s Secret Unleashed,¡± it suddenly got recommended, and I couldn¡¯t help but read it again, making myself laugh. That was the first time I wrote such a long book; my skill was still far from adequate, as there was no real style to speak of, just writing whatever came to mind.


    Compared to that, I feel I¡¯ve made some progress with this book, but I still see many shortcomings.


    Writing really is like this, you constantly encounter new problems and come to understand your deficiencies, as well as recognize how to write a good book.


    I hope to learn a lot through this book and strive to grow.


    Lastly, I have a small goal; I hope to reach around 3.5 million words for this book. I hope I can achieve it.


    Finally, thanks to ¡°Blood Pants in the Wind¡± for the generous reward and for becoming a new helmsman of this book, thank you for your support!

 Chapter 423 - Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Teacher Mengs Anxiety

    Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Teacher Meng¡¯s Anxiety


    In the resident trainees¡¯ dormitory, everyone was also discussing with each other.


    ¡°Ah, the doctor I¡¯m following is just an undergraduate who came to the emergency department three years ago. I reckon my skills are even higher than his!¡± a man sighed, ¡°I guess they just want me to write medical records!¡±


    ¡°The state wants us to undergo standardized training to improve our quality, but now it seems that some doctors¡¯ skills are not even as good as ours!¡± another man said with a laugh.


    For them, participating in the residency program was merely to get a training certificate, which would help them successfully apply for professional titles.


    Many of them were not young, lots in their thirties, and there were also some in their forties.


    ¡°Xu Dongdong, the doctor you¡¯re following, I heard he¡¯s just an undergraduate. You¡¯re a graduate student yourself; you might even teach him something,¡± a man in his thirties said with a smile.


    Xu Dongdong listened but just smiled without saying much, as he could see that Chen Cang¡¯s knowledge far exceeded his own.


    ¡°He has much more clinical experience than I do, and there¡¯s a lot I can learn from him.¡± Xu Dongdong smiled again, not making any excuses, but he felt there was no need to belittle Chen Cang.


    In the entire room, there were four people, all in emergency medicine and around thirty years old. Xu Dongdong had the highest education but was the youngest.


    ¡°Hehe, Xu Dongdong, you¡¯re just too young. Let me tell you, not everyone in provincial-level hospitals is capable; many get in through connections or back doors!¡± the man who had started the conversation said, pretending to be mature.


    Xu Dongdong felt that arguing about these things was meaningless, so he just nodded and smiled.


    After two months at Lancy County People¡¯s Hospital, Xu Dongdong found a clear difference between big and small hospitals is that in the smaller ones, people become less keen on learning over time, or there¡¯s no healthy competitive atmosphere. Maybe they become complacent, or maybe¡­


    Essentially, they treat medicine as a job, not a career, and the competition is not in medical skills or academia, but in networking.


    Many things they consider mature and worldly-wise are actually just excuses to numb their own progress. In Xu Dongdong¡¯s opinion, true sagacity and maturity are about how to improve one¡¯s own abilities ¡ª work capacity, professional skills, and the ability to adapt to the environment.


    Of course, this is not to say that everyone is like that, but Xu Dongdong felt that many people had this mentality.


    Xu Dongdong suddenly recalled the earnest words of his graduate teacher when he signed with Lancy County People¡¯s Hospital: ¡°Xu Dongdong, after you go there, don¡¯t become too comfortable, don¡¯t forget to study, and don¡¯t be too swayed by others.¡±


    Now, he understood these words even more deeply.


    As for the Second Provincial Hospital, he wouldn¡¯t judge for the moment, but having spent just one day here, Xu Dongdong saw that the doctors, young or old, educated or not, always discussed and pondered over issues whenever they had time, whether clinical or academic. They would even read books whenever they had a chance.


    This wasn¡¯t for show; it was a habit!


    The gap was very clear.


    The three middle-aged men in the room chatted for a bit after returning, made calls home, and started scrolling through short videos. Xu Dongdong opened a surgical video on his phone and began watching.


    After all, this was his specialty, and he should work on improving himself.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the cardiac surgery office at Eastern University First Hospital.


    Meng Xi was sitting on a stool with her legs crossed, the top button of her white coat undone, and her arms folded across her chest.


    She was pondering some issues: Why hasn¡¯t Chen Cang come by recently?


    Was it because she didn¡¯t do a good job?


    Perhaps she was too strict normally?


    Or was she not caring enough towards Chen Cang?


    It was Meng Xi¡¯s first time playing the role of a teacher, having never taught before, and she wondered if she did something wrong as Chen Cang stopped coming.


    Truth be told, Meng Xi was quite satisfied with Chen Cang.


    Hardworking, diligent, effortful, progressive!


    And most importantly, gifted!


    Even more formidable than those so-called ¡°genius¡± classmates who think so highly of themselves!


    But why isn¡¯t Chen Cang coming?


    When Meng Xi encountered issues, she liked to self-reflect. She wondered if there was something wrong with the way she dealt with Chen Cang.


    Or maybe¡­ does Chen Cang think I can¡¯t teach him?


    Remembering the surgeries, Meng Xi¡¯s face would flush red. What was she comparing them to? If she didn¡¯t show some real skills soon, Chen Cang might really start to ¡°look down¡± on her!


    With this thought, a surge of energy welled up in Meng Xi¡¯s chest. Looking at the three unmarried doctoral students beside her, each boiling with passion and walking on eggshells, filled with both fear and trembling!


    Meng Xi wasn¡¯t concerned, as her mind was occupied with figuring out how to properly play the role of Teacher Meng.


    First, she felt she should impress Chen Cang and let him know how formidable she was!


    But, before that, maybe she should have a good talk with Chen Cang, see what he wants to learn, and then¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After finishing work, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t continue his romantic time with Qin Xiaotian and hurriedly made his way to the Cardiac Surgery Department at Dongda First Hospital.


    Qin Xiaotian sent a message on WeChat, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare flirt with the female doctors!¡±


    Chen Cang felt a pang of embarrassment. Are women¡¯s intuitions always so accurate?


    Anyway, I just want to impress my female teacher!


    Chen Cang felt his thoughts were innocent, his ideas pure, and his soul clean!


    To say ¡°flirting¡± would definitely be inappropriate.


    Ten minutes later, Chen Cang arrived at the Cardiac Surgery Department of Dongda First Hospital.


    He had thought Teacher Meng might be unhappy, but upon arrival, Meng Xi just gave him a faint smile and said, ¡°You¡¯re here!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and nodded, still a bit unaccustomed¡­ he could only offer a sheepish smile, ¡°This¡­ Teacher Meng, I¡¯ve been a bit busy lately, yesterday¡­¡±


    Meng Xi shook her head, smiling and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡±


    Although Meng Xi had been a teaching assistant at the Karolinska Institute, she still felt under pressure when it came to mentoring a graduate student alone, especially a gifted and willing one!


    But¡­ no matter what, she couldn¡¯t show weakness in her demeanor, she needed to maintain the posture of a role model.


    She figured that she should be more tolerant with Chen Cang, and ideally embody the dignity of a teacher, without compromising care.


    It¡¯s so hard¡­


    Who doesn¡¯t have a first time? Just feel your way through, Meng Xi thought, sighing.


    Besides, to be a teacher is to impart knowledge, teach, and dispel confusion.


    She should teach according to the student¡¯s abilities and help Chen Cang with what he doesn¡¯t understand.


    With this in mind, Meng Xi decided to have a good talk with Chen Cang to see what he really wanted to learn, ¡°Xiao Chen, what are your plans for your three years as a graduate student?¡±


    Chen Cang paused, and after some thought, if he really had a plan, it would surely be¡­ to raise his favorability to 100, and then to keep building favorability each day!


    If he were to be more specific, it might just be to astonish Teacher Meng every day.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: There¡¯s another chapter after this, it¡¯s not finished yet¡­

 Chapter 424 - Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Teacher Meng, how can you be so foolish!

    Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Teacher Meng, how can you be so foolish!


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang in silence, and her heart immediately skipped a beat!


    Could it be that Chen Cang really thought she had nothing to teach him?


    That was too much!


    He was underestimating her too much!


    With that thought, Meng Xi¡¯s blood surged, and she felt her clothes grow even tighter!


    She felt that she really should show off her skills in front of Chen Cang to demonstrate her true level.


    Seeing Director Meng¡¯s appearance at that moment, Ge Huai¡¯s expression changed, and he, who had been single for thirty-three years, felt a bit overwhelmed. After all, Director Meng had always been the goddess in Ge Huai¡¯s eyes¡­


    Meanwhile, the other two PhDs suddenly felt that working overtime was pretty good!


    At that moment, they suddenly understood why Ge Huai worked overtime every day!


    Overtime was wonderful!


    There were benefits to working overtime!


    They should work more overtime, really dedicate themselves to working overtime!


    They couldn¡¯t let Ge Huai have all the benefits for himself.


    ¡­


    At that time, Chen Cang was actually thinking seriously. Initially, he chose to apply to work with Meng Xi definitely because of her hidden profession, and secondly because of Meng Xi¡¯s research capabilities, which were rare in Dongyang Province.


    But as for his postgraduate plans¡­


    What should he say?


    Pondering this, Chen Cang said, ¡°Teacher Meng, regarding the planning for a postgraduate, I think there are mainly two aspects: clinical ability and research capability. Your research capability is well recognized, after all, you are the only person in Dongyang Province who has been published in ¡®The Lancet¡¯ right now. I feel that I can learn a lot from you, and as for clinical abilities, I have just started, and there is still a lot for me to learn from Teacher Meng¡­¡±


    ¡°But I think, ¡®masters lead you to the door, but practice is up to the individual.¡¯ As long as I follow Teacher Meng closely and observe carefully, there¡¯s still a lot that I can learn!¡±


    ¡­


    Listening to Chen Cang¡¯s words and looking into his sincere eyes, Meng Xi felt that Chen Cang truly meant what he said.


    It must be the truth!


    Good, it seems Chen Cang has quite the eye!


    [Ding! Favorability£«5!]


    Hearing the system prompt, Chen Cang was suddenly stunned.


    Chen Cang had recently found that the time he spent on Baidu was not wasted. He uncovered an ultimate secret: women like to be praised, regardless of age. As long as the praise is good, everything else is easy!


    At this moment, Ge Huai, noticing the increasingly intimate looks between the two, with both of them gazing at each other affectionately, saw a trend of mutual complimenting and teasing, and immediately felt alert!


    Feeling a surge of jealousy, Ge Huai promptly interrupted them, saying anxiously, ¡°Director Meng, the operating room is ready. We¡­ should prepare for the surgery now.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded slightly, ¡°Oh? Is it ready? That fast?¡±


    Ge Huai sneered internally. Fast? Where was it fast? You were too busy chatting with Chen Cang to notice the time!


    Ge Huai quickly nodded, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s ready. The operating room just sent me a message.¡±


    Meng Xi then stood up and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Chen, there¡¯s actually a constrictive pericarditis surgery today.¡±


    As Ge Huai was about to get up with the medical records in his arms, Meng Xi suddenly smiled and said, ¡°You know, Doctor Ge, you should finish work early today and get some rest. You¡¯ve been working hard lately. Chen and I can handle the surgery!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ge Huai was momentarily stunned!


    Was Director Meng showing concern for him?


    Did she know how hard he had been working?


    With this thought, he quickly looked at Meng Xi with tender eyes and a warm voice, ¡°Director Meng, it¡¯s okay, I¡¯m not tired!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi immediately frowned!


    How could this guy not take a hint?


    After all¡­ today was about Chen Cang teaching her surgery, not her teaching Chen Cang, so Meng Xi didn¡¯t want any idle people around to see.


    Thinking this, Meng Xi sighed, ¡°Oh! Then you organize today¡¯s discharged medical records, and there are also two patients being discharged tomorrow, so check their fees and medications. There¡¯s no need for you to come to the surgery; I¡¯ll come sign off on it after I¡¯m done!¡±


    Afterwards, Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang with a smiling face and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Chen!¡±


    ¡°`


    Chen Cang was puzzled why he didn¡¯t bring Ge Huai with him, but¡­ seeing that Teacher Meng was in a good mood, he could only send Ge Huai a concerned glance before hurriedly following along.


    When Ge Huai saw the look of concern from Chen Cang, he was immediately infuriated!


    However, observing Teacher Meng¡¯s footsteps today¡­ they seemed even lighter, and his mood improved a bit more.


    Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but sigh!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the operating room, Meng Xi found himself somewhat embarrassed.


    After all, he had just prepared to show off, only to realize that today¡¯s surgery was for constrictive pericarditis.


    Showing off was definitely out of the question!


    Especially since Chen Cang¡¯s surgeries were even better than his own.


    Who was to show off was not yet certain!


    But it was somewhat embarrassing to admit it, after all, where does a teacher ask a student for advice? It would be humiliating to say it out loud!


    Nevertheless, Meng Xi felt that one should not be ashamed of asking questions and should engage in mutual exchange.


    One must not lose the heart to seek knowledge and learning!


    With this in mind, Meng Xi took a deep breath to calm his complex emotions and said to Chen Cang:


    ¡°Little Chen, actually, my constrictive pericarditis surgery isn¡¯t that great. Last time I watched your operation, it was very inspiring. Could you teach me?¡±


    This statement not only stunned Chen Cang!


    Even the anesthetist nearby was caught off guard.


    Where was the proud Director Meng they knew?


    To actually admit his own shortcomings and to ask a student to teach¡­?


    Such an event, if told, who would believe?


    Or¡­ was he anesthetized himself?


    The anesthetist glanced at the needle in his hand with some hesitation¡­


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was also stunned for a moment, then quickly said, ¡°This, Teacher Meng, you are too polite. There¡¯s no need to talk about teaching. In fact, we medical workers should indeed have exchanges with each other, collaborate and improve together!¡±


    ¡°You are telling me to never be ashamed to learn from others at any time, aren¡¯t you, Teacher Meng? Truly, I¡¯ve benefitted a lot as a student!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi was a bit taken aback.


    Looking at Chen Cang, he suddenly realized that this kid wasn¡¯t bad, good at speaking, and good at handling matters!


    [Ding! Improve Meng Xi¡¯s constrictive pericarditis surgery to master level, task reward: 1, increase Meng Xi¡¯s favorability by +20; 2, randomly acquire any one of Meng Xi¡¯s skills!]


    Chen Cang, upon receiving the system prompt, immediately brightened up.


    Not bad at all.


    The surgery soon began, and Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°Teacher Meng, please perform the surgery.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, took the scalpel, and started the procedure.


    Meng Xi¡¯s basic skills were very solid, but there were some areas where lack of experience made it difficult to master.


    Chen Cang¡¯s skills were the result of thousands of surgeries accumulated through training space.


    ¡°Teacher Meng, here¡­¡±


    ¡°Teacher Meng, look over here¡­¡±


    ¡°Teacher Meng, you¡­ ow¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Teacher Meng, how can you be so clumsy¡­¡±


    Chen Cang watched Meng Xi sweat profusely; this fellow, how could he be so brainless?


    He had already repeated it several times!


    While Meng Xi indeed was quite humble, the anesthetist behind him was sweating bullets!


    ¡°`

 Chapter 425 - Chapter 425: Chapter 425: The Bad Student Doesnt Deserve This Ratio!

    Chapter 425: Chapter 425: The Bad Student Doesn¡¯t Deserve This Ratio!


    Different people have different requirements!


    Chen Cang naturally set higher standards for Teacher Meng, who wanted to become a master!


    But¡­


    At this moment, Chen Cang really missed student Qin Xiaotian, who learned things so quickly. His own small-incision appendectomy technique was already taking shape after being studied a few times.


    As for Teacher Meng at this time¡­


    Oh!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh.


    Watching Teacher Meng carefully peeling off the last adhesion area.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Teacher Meng, how many times have I told you? In this area, you need to be mindful of the phrenic nerve, mindful of the phrenic nerve, you know? It¡¯s easy to damage! Ah, why don¡¯t you ever learn¡­¡±


    Chen Cang found that patience, after you¡¯ve repeated yourself ten times and they still can¡¯t remember, will absolutely vanish without a trace, replaced by irritability!


    Exactly!


    Parents who have taught their children how to write would deeply relate.


    But seeing how Teacher Meng is usually so capable, why¡­ why are they so forgetful?


    Is there no capacity left in the brain for these things?


    Meng Xi, hearing Chen Cang¡¯s reprimand, didn¡¯t get angry at all, but instead blushed and said sheepishly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed and, without saying a word, shook his head.


    Meanwhile, the anesthesiologist swallowed, his small green gown already soaked with sweat¡­


    What on earth had Chen Cang fed to Director Meng?


    Why was Director Meng so abnormal today!


    Should she be the one saying ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡±?


    At this thought, the young anesthesiologist suddenly felt his worldview crumbling. Was this the state that Director Meng, the goddess Meng, should be in?


    Where was the imposing and confident goddess Meng that had been promised?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The surgery continued, and by the time it was about to end after an hour, Chen Cang felt his throat uncomfortable!


    It was the first time he discovered that guiding one surgery was more tiring than performing two!


    After Meng Xi finished suturing, she glanced at Chen Cang with apprehension, her eyes full of shame.


    At this time, Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Actually, you did quite well. It¡¯s me who was too anxious. Teacher Meng, go back and think over what I¡¯ve said.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, ¡°Yes, thank you, Xiao Chen!¡±


    Meng Xi felt, should she call him Teacher Chen?


    At that thought, Meng Xi quickly shook her head. Wasn¡¯t it embarrassing enough to be critiqued by her own student?


    Oh¡­


    After leaving the operating room, the two washed their hands together.


    Chen Cang thought it over and suddenly said, ¡°Teacher Meng, you should break away from your existing mode of thinking and surgical procedures. It might be difficult, but that is the only way to improve!¡±


    In fact, it wasn¡¯t that Meng Xi was really that slow; surgery is like cooking, you need to step out of your comfort zone to see your shortcomings and then improve.


    The things Chen Cang pointed out might not be things Meng Xi could see for herself.


    But, even when pointed out by Chen Cang, there might be a subconscious resistance to change, which is indeed difficult!


    Progress is, after all, a process of constant denial.


    Meng Xi wasn¡¯t like Director Tao Zi; Director Tao Zi really had rich experience in surgery. Chen Cang¡¯s guidance could help him to expand his horizons, so Director Tao Zi¡¯s progress was more stable and rapid.


    Meng Xi, upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s comforting words, smiled, ¡°Yeah, I got it, thank you, Xiao Chen!¡±


    The ability to openly accept one¡¯s shortcomings and humbly correct them is a strength.


    Chen Cang smiled, just as he turned around, he happened to see that Teacher Meng¡¯s small green gown¡¯s collar seemed quite loose, so Chen Cang ended up seeing everything he should and shouldn¡¯t have seen, not missing out at all. When his eyes met Meng Xi¡¯s, he immediately turned his head away in embarrassment.


    Seeing this, Meng Xi burst into giggles.


    Chen Cang coughed and joined in with a smile.


    Suddenly, Meng Xi asked with interest, ¡°Xiao Chen, do you have a girlfriend?¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned. Who was he underestimating? I might look, but¡­ I do have a girlfriend. Besides, I didn¡¯t mean to look.


    ¡°Of course, I do!¡±


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang¡¯s blushing face and suddenly felt like laughing. She didn¡¯t mean anything by it; it was just his somewhat naive expression that she found amusing.


    Meng Xi went to America at the age of twelve and then to Sweden for university, receiving Western cultural and educational influences. Compared to traditional Chinese culture, her thinking was slightly more open¡ªof course, that was all in the mind, and it stopped before the body!


    After all, Meng Xi¡¯s mother was a traditional Chinese woman.


    Meng Xi suddenly smiled, ¡°Oh! A girlfriend you¡¯ve just started dating?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled. Was it that obvious?


    Curiously, Chen Cang asked, ¡°Teacher Meng, how did you know?¡±


    Meng Xi giggled and was about to walk ahead, but¡­ she shot a glance at something below Chen Cang¡¯s waist¡­


    Chen Cang looked down and his face turned red at once¡­


    I thought I was the master of surgery like Long Bear, having seen endless splendor, but in the end, I couldn¡¯t escape fate!


    Chen Cang felt unbearably awkward as he recalled Teacher Meng¡¯s laughter.


    It was also the first time Chen Cang discovered that this Teacher Meng¡­ really wasn¡¯t at all like he seemed on the surface!


    Hidden beneath that mature exterior was a heart that¡­ (you fill in)!


    Sighing, Chen Cang went to the changing room to get dressed and found that Meng Xi was already waiting for him at the entrance of the operating room.


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile.


    Meng Xi also followed with a chuckle.


    A few seconds passed¡­ they exchanged glances and couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    This feeling was just like being with a friend!


    It was a good thing it was eight o¡¯clock, and not many people were around.


    Otherwise, they would definitely be called crazy!


    It must be said, today¡¯s surgery brought Chen Cang and Teacher Meng much closer, they became not only teacher and pupil but also friends, significantly shortening the distance between them.


    With not a big age difference to begin with, it was impossible for their relationship to resemble that of traditional teachers and students.


    As they walked together, chatting and laughing, the incident just now seemed like nothing more than a joke between friends, no big deal.


    After returning to the office, Ge Huai and the others were still working overtime!


    What time was it now, past eight?


    Chen Cang was curious, was today World Overtime Day?


    Seeing Teacher Meng¡¯s return, Ge Huai hurriedly said, ¡°Director Meng, the medical records have been organized, do you want to sign off on them now?¡±


    Meng Xi was in a good mood and smiled at Ge Huai, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard, Doctor Ge, let¡¯s do it tomorrow, it¡¯s getting late, I¡¯ll head off first.¡±


    Ge Huai¡¯s heart instantly bloomed with joy.


    Meng Xi was wearing a sporty outfit today, exuding a youthful vibe.


    Meng Xi left first, with Chen Cang lingering for a few extra minutes.


    Seeing Ge Huai¡¯s happy expression.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Teacher Ge, you don¡¯t have a crush on Teacher Meng, do you?¡±


    With that one sentence, the others in the office, Scholar Two in particular, perked up their ears, and Ge Huai, having his thoughts laid bare by Chen Cang, instantly turned beet red.


    ¡°Nonsense! That¡¯s not true!¡± Ge Huai quickly retorted.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Teacher Ge, that¡¯s not like you!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ge Huai¡¯s curiosity piqued, and he eagerly looked at Chen Cang, wondering¡­ Did Director Meng and little Chen whisper sweet nothings during surgery?


    With that thought, Ge Huai quickly asked, ¡°Oh? Little Chen, do you have any advice?¡±


    Chen Cang immediately snapped his fingers and said with a smile, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t talk about advice, but¡­ I do have a suggestion!¡±


    Ge Huai¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°What suggestion?¡±


    No sooner had Ge Huai spoken than he felt Scholar Two and Scholar Three lean in close, getting annoyed, ¡°What are you two doing over here!¡±


    Scholar One retorted, ¡°If you don¡¯t like Teacher Meng, why can¡¯t we listen!¡±


    Scholar Two agreed, ¡°Right! Fair competition, besides, from a statistical probability standpoint, if u1 = Director Meng likes you, u2 = Teacher Meng doesn¡¯t like you, under this scenario, establishing a statistical analysis, according to a chi-squared analysis, you¡¯re aware of the needed p-value!¡±


    Hearing this, Ge Huai immediately objected, ¡°That¡¯s not right, you can¡¯t assume that; chi-squared analysis is not applicable here! We three are in the competition, we need to discuss it in groups, first carry out group analysis, using the F value, which has nothing to do with the P value!¡±


    Scholar One immediately joined the fray, ¡°No, the F value is not vivid either, we need to consider both type I and type II errors, here if we use meta-analysis, I think that¡¯s more¡­ Look, we need to establish a scale in advance, then¡­¡±


    Chen Cang watched, wide-eyed, as an act of courtship turned into a statistical showdown, feeling somewhat taken aback¡­


    Could it be¡­ the world of top students was really so colorful?


    Finding a girlfriend required a meta-analysis?


    Chen Cang suddenly felt relieved that he had swooped in before Xiao Qin had finished her doctorate, or else¡­ it wouldn¡¯t be easy to make a move later, what if she asked what his p-value was?


    I¡¯m actually not fit to join such a high-end battlefield!


    Enough, enough!


    As Chen Cang watched the three battle it out, he suddenly felt envious.


    Those with knowledge seek partners according to data analysis¡­


    Chen Cang watched the trio¡¯s proceedings as they seemed to discuss encoding data like personality, hobbies, and height into a spreadsheet, which looked almost ready¡­


    Alas!


    What about my suggestion?


    Why isn¡¯t anyone listening?


    At that thought, Chen Cang said, ¡°Teacher Ge, I have a suggestion¡­¡±


    Ge Huai impatiently replied, ¡°Screw you! Don¡¯t disturb my calculations!¡±


    Scholar Two nodded!


    Scholar Three gave a thumbs-up!


    They found that no piece of advice was more scientific than performing scientific data validation!


    Indeed, love has its ratio.


    And those who are not top students don¡¯t deserve to grasp this ratio!

 Chapter 426 - Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Not So Simple!

    Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Not So Simple!


    At nine o¡¯clock in the morning, a mother and daughter walked into the emergency room!


    The daughter, in her forties and of slight build, was supporting the elderly woman, constantly complaining to her: ¡°I told you not to eat it, but you just had to, didn¡¯t you? Now look at what¡¯s happened, vomiting and diarrhea! At your age, you should know better!¡±


    The woman seemed to have a quick and sharp tongue, incessantly nagging the elderly woman without stopping.


    ¡°You can¡¯t eat cold things, and now it¡¯s upset your stomach and landed you in the hospital! Do you realize you¡¯re causing me trouble? I have to leave work and rush back to take you to the hospital! Can¡¯t you be less of a worry for me?¡±


    The elderly woman was meek and silent, only managing to say after a long while, ¡°I thought¡­ it would be wasteful to throw it out, the jelly was still good and not spoiled!¡±


    The old mother was eighty years old, her face lined with wrinkles and her hair white with age. Though she was thin, her frame was larger than her daughter¡¯s, making it seem burdensome for her to support her.


    After they entered the emergency room, the woman was out of breath, but she still carefully supported the old lady, worried about causing her any harm.


    Chen Cang and Xu Dongdong had just finished their rounds and saw them, quickly calling out, ¡°Xiao Lin, bring a bed out here.¡±


    Upon seeing the situation, Xiao Lin nodded her head quickly, her actions adept, and she soon ran out.


    Chen Cang and Xu Dongdong helped move the elderly woman onto the bed, and the slight woman finally caught her breath, but before she could rest, she hurriedly registered for emergency treatment.


    Chen Cang quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the elderly lady?¡±


    The elderly lady, with her eyes closed and not making a sound, lay on the bed, seemingly too exhausted to move.


    The slight woman replied, ¡°I think she might be in shock from diarrhea? This morning after I went to work, my father called me and said that my mother had been having diarrhea since the morning, vomiting and suffering from diarrhea, several times already.¡±


    ¡°When I asked in detail, I found out she ate the jelly from last night! It must have upset her stomach.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded and said, ¡°Ah! Did she have any chronic diseases in the past?¡±


    The woman thought for a moment, ¡°She has diabetes and high blood pressure, but she¡¯s been taking her medication for that. For her high blood pressure, she¡¯s been taking nifedipine sustained-release tablets, one tablet each day, and for her diabetes, she¡¯s been on¡­ 8 units of insulin in the morning¡­¡±


    The woman was very detailed, which made Chen Cang look at her askance: ¡°Are you in the medical field?¡±


    The woman shook her head and sighed, ¡°No, my mother has been sick for so many years, and she¡¯s always been with me. She doesn¡¯t take her medication properly because she always complains about the cost, so I make sure to give her her medication on time every day.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but take a few more glances at the woman; after all¡­ there aren¡¯t many children who can do that for their parents.


    The constant chatter just now must have been like a mother nagging her child when they were young.


    Tireless.


    When people grow old, their roles sometimes reverse.


    However, even so, Chen Cang didn¡¯t fully believe her story.


    He habitually picked up the stethoscope and listened to the stomach, noting that the bowel sounds were indeed a bit hyperactive.


    At this moment, the elderly woman opened her eyes.


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°Madam, where do you feel uncomfortable, tell me.¡±


    The elderly woman¡¯s voice was very low, seemingly weak and tired, and she said, ¡°My stomach feels uncomfortable, and I feel weak all over, everywhere hurts, oh¡­ and my heart feels fluttery too.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang hesitated for a moment.


    Electrolyte imbalance?


    Low potassium can cause a series of symptoms like general weakness, arrhythmia, or other neurological diseases similar to muscle weakness.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang turned to the nurse and said, ¡°Xiao Lin, do a blood glucose test, and also run a complete blood count and electrolyte panel.¡±


    Care must be taken when replenishing electrolytes for the elderly.


    They are much more sensitive than younger people.


    While they were talking, the elderly woman was wheeled into the observation room.


    Normally, such symptoms are common; an older person with food poisoning may experience electrolyte disturbances, so these symptoms are not unusual.


    Xu Dongdong, standing by, watched Chen Cang perform a check-up and asked, ¡°Professor Chen, could this be an electrolyte disorder, leading to low sodium and low potassium? Just replenishing fluids should do the trick, right?¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Xu Dongdong and couldn¡¯t help shaking his head, ¡°Replenishing fluids shouldn¡¯t be done carelessly, especially with elderly patients. Without the results from the serum electrolyte test, replenishing sodium or potassium could be criminal!¡±


    Several young people who shared a dormitory with Xu Dongdong came over to see the patient.


    Having heard what Chen Cang said, they all had their thoughts.


    Chen Cang entered the observation room, and the man smiled at Xu Dongdong, ¡°Making things mysterious, as if it¡¯s so complicated. I¡¯ve seen many such patients when I was at the hospital! Just giving some glucose-saline solution would suffice!¡±


    Although Xu Dongdong felt the man¡¯s words were unreasonable, he did not argue and stood up to enter the observation room.


    The man couldn¡¯t help but laugh, looking at Xu Dongdong and Chen Cang, shaking his head, ¡°Ah¡­ young people, always making things seem so mysterious, as if it¡¯s that mysterious!¡±


    The blood sugar check was quick, and it wasn¡¯t long before the results came out, ¡°16.4!¡±


    Seeing the blood sugar level, Chen Cang immediately frowned!


    According to what the patient and the family members described, it should have been the blood sugar level one hour after a meal, but¡­ it was still a bit high.


    Chen Cang looked at the woman and said, ¡°The elderly¡¯s blood sugar control isn¡¯t very good, 16.4 millimoles.¡±


    The woman¡¯s face flushed upon hearing this, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, doctor, our home glucometer isn¡¯t accurate and hasn¡¯t been adjusted. We also haven¡¯t measured it for some time, but insulin has still been administered daily.¡±


    At this moment, the elderly man suddenly began to have difficulty breathing, gasping for air with his mouth open.


    This immediately caught Chen Cang¡¯s attention.


    Chen Cang quickly asked, ¡°Has the elderly had any history of heart disease, lung disease, or kidney disease?¡±


    Seeing the elderly man like this, the woman was startled and somewhat panicked, quickly shaking her head, ¡°No, definitely not!¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Cang swiftly connected the patient to oxygen.


    Then Chen Cang picked up a stethoscope and listened to the lungs and heart areas.


    He heard very weak breathing sounds, and, moreover, the heart was beating very slowly!


    This puzzled Chen Cang.


    ¡°Put on the electrocardiogram monitor!¡±


    At this time, the old man¡¯s breathing was still difficult. It seemed that the oxygen wasn¡¯t helping much; he was still gasping for air.


    This made Chen Cang nervous!


    Xiaolin skillfully connected the electrocardiogram monitor, and Chen Cang said to Xu Dongdong, ¡°The family should wait outside.¡±


    Seeing this, Xu Dongdong gestured for the woman to leave the observation room.


    Chen Cang soon saw the values on the monitor!


    The blood pressure was dropping lower and lower!


    70/40mmHg!


    The heart rate was slowing down too!


    43 beats per minute!


    Breathing was rapid!


    Huffing and puffing, the atmosphere became very serious.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang hastily said, ¡°Electrocardiogram!¡±


    Then he quickly started to fumble with the elderly man¡¯s clothes in a fluster.


    At this moment, Chen Cang had realized that things were not as simple as they appeared!

 Chapter 427 - Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Wholeheartedly Convinced!

    Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Wholeheartedly Convinced!


    With the ECG machine brought in, Chen Cang quickly started connecting all the leads!


    Feeling of weakness all over!


    Abnormal reactions in the digestive tract!


    Breathlessness, suspecting the problem lies with the respiratory muscles!


    Heart palpitations!


    Diabetes!


    All these factors combined led Chen Cang to think of a terrifying disease that could even be life-threatening!


    And it could threaten life at any moment!


    However, the ECG had yet to be performed.


    Xiaolin then shouted, ¡°Doctor Chen, the heart rate is only 20!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face immediately turned ashen, ¡°Atropine!¡±


    Nurse Lele hastily began the injection!


    But after the dopamine injection, the effect was still mediocre!


    The patient¡¯s condition did not improve at all.


    At this point, the ECG machine slowly produced the ECG printout.


    Chen Cang tore off the ECG, took a close look, and his expression changed drastically.


    Just as suspected!


    The waveforms on the ECG, combined with all of the patient¡¯s symptoms, made everything clear!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling relieved that he hadn¡¯t rushed to hydrate the patient.


    Otherwise, the old lady would have been truly done for.


    By then, it would have been too late to save her.


    Looking at the ECG, Chen Cang felt his hands shaking.


    Xiaolin continued, ¡°Doctor Chen, the heart rate is still dropping!¡±


    At this time, the elderly patient¡¯s face was contorted; already thin from years of diabetes and being eighty years old meant his face was just skin and bones!


    But now, his twisted facial expression, his rapid breaths through an open mouth, and his moaning in distress caused a few trainees who had come to watch the ¡°excitement¡± to involuntarily step back!


    It was too terrifying!


    At this time!


    Atropine seemed to be of no use; the heart rate was still only 20.


    Chen Cang thought it over and immediately changed the plan, ¡°Epinephrine!¡±


    The emergency box contained a complete set of resuscitation materials, with a full array of medicines for emergency use, and Lele quickly began to search¡­ getting ready.


    At this moment, Chen Cang said to Xiaolin on the side:


    ¡°Prepare 10ml of calcium chloride! Intravenous injection!¡±


    ¡°Also, insulin, 10 units, also intravenously!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the resident trainees behind were stunned!


    At this time, using calcium agents!


    They were clueless and had no idea why Chen Cang started intravenous calcium supplementation after doing the ECG.


    The patient¡­ had calcium deficiency?


    The group was bewildered!


    And Xu Dongdong, to be honest, was also a bit perplexed, but still stood behind, jotting down every word Chen Cang said in her notebook.


    Because calcium chloride and insulin were not in the emergency kit, they needed to be fetched from the nurse¡¯s station.


    Once they were obtained, Chen Cang looked at Xiaolin and instructed word by word:


    ¡°Remember! Inject the calcium chloride slowly, 10 milliliters, to be finished within five minutes!¡±


    ¡°Insulin is also an intravenous injection!¡±


    After handing over the instructions, Chen looked toward the monitor, where the heart rate had by then reached 45 beats per minute!


    It seemed to be the work of epinephrine!


    But it wasn¡¯t time to celebrate yet.


    The patient¡¯s most crucial underlying cause had not been removed!


    This was a condition that could endanger life, instantly leading to cardiac arrest!


    At this moment, Li Baoshan happened to be passing by the ER and, after learning that a patient was in emergency treatment, he hurried in!


    Li Baoshan saw Xiaolin administering the medication.


    He asked Chen Cang, ¡°What¡¯s the situation with the patient?¡±


    At this time, all the resident trainees behind were completely baffled!


    They also didn¡¯t know what had happened.


    Although they had all followed along¡­ they didn¡¯t understand a thing!


    What exactly happened?


    Why do we seem so incompetent?


    And why did Chen Cang start such a complex procedure after just looking at one ECG?


    Even Xu Dongdong was in the dark about this.


    The man who had been talking to Xu Dongdong just before also started to lose his confidence; wasn¡¯t it electrolyte disturbance?


    Seeing the heart rate and blood pressure gradually recover, Chen Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Hearing Li Baoshan¡¯s inquiry, he quickly turned around, ¡°Director!¡±


    ¡°The patient is likely suffering from hyperkalemia, accompanied by diabetic ketoacidosis, and moreover, the potassium level may be as high as over eight!¡±


    Upon hearing about the potassium level, Li Baoshan¡¯s face immediately fell.


    Over eight for blood potassium, that¡¯s deadly!


    Normal blood potassium levels are between 3.5 to 5.5 mmol/L.


    And when it exceeds 5.5, it¡¯s hyperkalemia.


    Li Baoshan, upon hearing how high the blood potassium was, immediately asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t the serum electrolyte levels out yet?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ve just sent for them less than ten minutes ago; they can¡¯t be that fast!¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang¡¯s words were out, the people around suddenly became quiet.


    Without the serum electrolyte levels, how could Chen Cang declare a blood potassium level of over eight?


    How did he guess that the patient had hyperkalemia?


    From start to finish, Chen Cang had only performed an ECG.


    At this moment, the surrounding medical trainees became quite curious!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t possibly say it was just a guess, could he?


    When Li Baoshan heard Chen Cang speak, he hurriedly picked up the ECG next to him and after a careful look, he immediately frowned!


    ¡°What did you use?¡±


    Chen Cang replied, ¡°Calcium supplements, calcium chloride. The patient¡¯s blood sugar was over 16, so I added 10 units of insulin.¡±


    At this time, Li Baoshan walked to the side and observed the patient.


    Now, all they could do was wait and see.


    Chen Cang had done all he could.


    Now, Li Baoshan was growing increasingly satisfied with Chen Cang.


    Having the sharpness to diagnose patients through details isn¡¯t something just anyone can do.


    Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Chen Cang could determine the blood potassium level through an ECG was a skill in itself.


    It wasn¡¯t something achievable without years of experience!


    In emergency medicine, every second counts. If they really had to wait for the serum electrolyte tests, it might have been too late!


    The treatment Chen Cang had provided was appropriate as well.


    This evoked a sense of admiration from Li Baoshan, as Chen Cang was truly a promising young man.


    Chen Cang had administered everything that was necessary, and if that wasn¡¯t enough, dialysis would have been the next step.


    Seconds ticked by.


    The numbers on the heart monitor jumped continuously, like the rhythm of life itself.


    The heart rate gradually stabilized around fifty, the patient¡¯s breathing evened out, and their blood pressure stabilized.


    At this moment, both Chen Cang and Li Baoshan let out a sigh of relief.


    It looked like the patient¡¯s condition should now be stable.


    The elderly woman also opened her eyes and took a relieved breath; she felt as if she¡¯d just narrowly escaped death¡¯s door.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, the daughter who had brought her mother to the hospital was pacing anxiously at the entrance of the observation room.


    She was terribly nervous!


    Fearing the worst for her mother.


    The ER security guard, Uncle Qin Taishan, seeing her state, couldn¡¯t help but console, ¡°Young lady, don¡¯t worry, take it easy. Director Li is in there, everything will be fine!¡±


    Despite his words, how could the woman be at ease?


    Hearing what Qin Taishan said, her voice choked up immediately!


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have scolded her, I should have fixed the glucose meter sooner, it¡¯s all my fault!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sure I¡¯ve been too nagging lately, I won¡¯t do it anymore¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh, dear God, please look after my mom, I beg you, let her pull through!¡±


    ¡­


    The daughter¡¯s voice was choked with emotion, and her state of distress left Uncle Qin Taishan unsure of what to say.


    The nurse, observing the daughter breaking down, couldn¡¯t help but sigh. This is the nature of daughters! When mothers make mistakes, daughters may scold them, but after all, the elderly get childlike as they age, and nobody but a daughter would bother you with constant nagging.


    But nagging is one thing, and blaming is another. When the mother falls ill, the daughter truly feels as tormented as if she herself were sick.


    By this time, the elderly woman was slowly, but surely, coming around.


    However, they couldn¡¯t afford to drop their guard yet.


    Hyperkalemia has many causes. Diabetic ketoacidosis is one, but other possibilities could not be ruled out, so further waiting for the biochemical test results was necessary before considering a transfer to another department.


    Li Baoshan made a call to the lab, and after some urging, the results came out quickly!


    The nurse hurriedly printed the lab report and handed it over!


    Li Baoshan took a look.


    ¡°Blood potassium: 8.1!¡±


    Thankfully, the resuscitation was timely. If they had really waited for the serum electrolytes, it could have been dangerous.


    Glancing at the report, the attendant medical trainees stared wide-eyed in disbelief!


    It really was over eight!


    At this moment, their curiosity intensified about how Chen Cang had actually estimated the patient¡¯s blood potassium concentration!


    Xu Dongdong was especially thrilled!


    In just two days, she¡¯d witnessed another intense emergency.


    Although she felt somewhat bewildered, there was this overwhelming sense of awe.


    Seeing Teacher Chen handle such an urgent condition, sorting through complex symptoms and finding the critical factors to deliver timely treatment, that was incredibly challenging!


    And utterly exhilarating!


    To tell the truth, right then and there, Xu Dongdong was utterly convinced by Chen Cang!


    Wholeheartedly convinced!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: Hehe, for now, three updates. See you tomorrow at noon when the mystery will be unveiled.

 Chapter 428 - Chapter 428: Chapter 428: The Cycle of Love and Responsibility

    Chapter 428: Chapter 428: The Cycle of Love and Responsibility


    Less than 20 minutes passed, and all the patient¡¯s physiological and biochemical results were out!


    Blood ketone bodies had increased!


    Combining the patient¡¯s symptoms, it was now possible to make a definitive diagnosis:


    Primary diagnosis: Hyperkalemia


    Secondary diagnosis: Diabetic ketoacidosis.


    Chen Cang began contacting the endocrinology department.


    The patient¡¯s hyperkalemia was also caused by diabetic ketoacidosis.


    Chen Cang turned around and saw Xu Dongdong with a pen in hand, recording something in a notebook, and said, ¡°Dongdong, let the family members come in.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang call her, Xu Dongdong quickly put away her notebook and nodded: ¡°Okay!¡±


    At this time, the woman had been praying at the door for quite a while!


    But as time passed!


    Although she did not understand medicine, she knew that the longer it took, the more serious the problem was!


    The more this was the case, the more restless she became!


    Xu Dongdong opened the door to see the woman standing there anxiously, her eyes filled with expectation and hope, staring at the doorway.


    Seeing Xu Dongdong come out, the woman hurriedly ran over!


    ¡°Doctor! Doctor! How¡¯s my mother?¡±


    Xu Dongdong smiled: ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, Dr. Chen is letting you in.¡±


    Xu Dongdong did not mention whether the patient was stable or not, saying only that Dr. Chen was letting her in.


    Hearing this, the woman quickly entered.


    ¡°Dr. Chen, how is my mom¡­ how is she doing?¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°The elderly woman is basically stable now, but I recommend that she be hospitalized in the endocrinology department for treatment. She currently has diabetic ketoacidosis, and this acidosis has caused her blood potassium to increase. It looks like this situation has been going on for more than a day or two!¡±


    ¡°So, I suggest that you visit the endocrinology department, so we can correct her diabetes, and simply treat the hyperkalemia accordingly. Don¡¯t worry too much.¡±


    After hearing this, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    But Chen Cang turned around and addressed the elderly woman: ¡°Madam, you need to be more mindful of your blood sugar from now on! You can¡¯t eat whatever you want, you know. It was almost dangerous just now! Listen to your daughter more, could she possibly harm you?¡±


    The elderly woman had also come around by this time, taking a long breath: ¡°Ah¡­ Doctor, thank you!¡±


    Being addressed as ¡°you¡± by the elderly woman was still something Chen Cang wasn¡¯t quite used to.


    Seeing her mother getting better, the daughter hurried over, knelt beside the bed, and held her mother¡¯s emaciated hands, which were somewhat cold¡ªa result of the poor microcirculation from long-term diabetes.


    But the woman did not mind at all, kneeling there, caressing her mother¡¯s hand against her face, tears dripping steadily down.


    ¡°Mom, you scared me to death!¡±


    With red cheeks, the elderly woman didn¡¯t know what to say, so she could only stroke her daughter¡¯s face with her hand.


    She used to caress her like this when she was a child, and now¡­ she had grown up so much.


    It was herself who had gotten old!


    The daughter, clearly frightened, said: ¡°Mom, did I nag at you too much, and you got upset? I won¡¯t say it anymore, okay? But¡­ you have to take your medicine on time. Don¡¯t try to save it for me, what¡¯s there to save? If you¡¯re well, I¡¯m happy no matter what¡­¡±


    Tears welled up in the elderly woman¡¯s eyes as she was moved.


    At this time, Chen Cang picked up the phone to contact the endocrinology department.


    It wasn¡¯t long before the endocrinology on-call doctor, Yan Dongxue, came down in a hurry, and upon seeing Chen Cang, she smiled and greeted him: ¡°Little Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, Yan Dongxue was the son-in-law of the emergency department, Zhang Shu¡¯s husband, and currently also the deputy director of endocrinology, forty years old, in the prime of his life!


    ¡°Teacher Yan, the patient is inside,¡± Chen Cang said, leading Yan Dongxue in.


    After looking at the lab reports and ECG, Yan Dongxue was immediately startled, ¡°This¡­ is a life-threatening situation!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Yan Dongxue turned to the woman, ¡°The elderly¡¯s diabetes will need monitoring for a while, plus the insulin injections¡­¡±


    The woman was very cooperative, ¡°Okay! Doctor, I¡¯ll follow your instructions.¡±


    Yan Dongxue glanced at the patient and then proceeded.


    Meanwhile, the elderly person sat up and, with the daughter¡¯s support, was about to go to the endocrinology department to handle the hospital admission procedures.


    Seeing how tired the woman was, Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°Should we use a wheelchair?¡±


    The woman smiled, ¡°No need, I¡¯m used to it.¡±


    After saying that, the two of them helped the elderly person away.


    Occasionally, one could still hear the woman¡¯s ¡°sharp and caustic¡± nagging and the elderly¡¯s ¡°submissive agreements.¡±


    From a distance, Chen Cang shook his head; perhaps this was love!


    It seemed like the two had been arguing their whole lives, the mother nagging when they were young, and now the daughter nagging as the parents grew older; there was always endless worry and unceasing chatter¡­


    It¡¯s a cycle of life.


    A cycle about love and responsibility.


    Only¡­ this seemingly ordinary scene, for some reason, became somewhat moving, blurring one¡¯s eyes with emotion.


    Xiaolin, as before, tended to cry easily.


    With a sour nose, tears would flow.


    Even Chang Lina, who was usually eloquent, took a deep breath and muttered to herself, ¡°Just like with me and my mom, she chattered incessantly when I was young, and I couldn¡¯t stand it. Now that she¡¯s old, I nag her, and she must be just as annoyed¡­¡±


    Maybe only with one¡¯s own daughter can it be like this?


    Chen Cang might not understand daughters, but¡­ this affection, regardless of gender, could be empathetically felt.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Many students had just witnessed a seemingly straightforward but subtly complex resuscitation!


    If it had really been just ordinary diarrhea, treating it as such could have cost the elderly person their life.


    But Chen Cang was able to discern the cause amidst these complex factors and start treatment directly, which made this group of resident trainees feel inspired and admiring!


    The bolder ones directly asked,


    ¡°Professor Chen! How did you know that the patient had hyperkalemia? At first, I thought it was hypokalemia caused by diarrhea. If it had been rehydration¡­ the patient would have been gone!¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the students, their eyes full of curiosity, and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°The principle of emergency medicine is: save lives first, then treat illness.¡±


    ¡°If the elderly simply had ordinary diarrhea, it could have led to an electrolyte disturbance, and you¡¯re right to consider hypokalemia.¡±


    ¡°But!¡±


    ¡°When diagnosing diseases, we must not only judge based on the patient¡¯s current symptoms but also take into account their medical history to make a comprehensive assessment!¡±


    ¡°The patient fell ill due to diarrhea from eating cold noodles, with a long history of diabetes. At this point, you have to consider whether diabetes could cause diarrhea and then combine signs, manifestations, and symptoms to make a judgment!¡±


    ¡°The patient had abnormal reactions in the digestive system, which you all saw just now, accompanied by cardiac rhythm abnormalities, followed immediately by respiratory system disorder, accompanied by fatigue and weakness all over! Heart rate dropped, at this point, you must think of a life-threatening condition: hyperkalemia!¡±


    At that moment, Xu Dongdong couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Then¡­ how did you know that the blood potassium was over eight, Professor Chen?¡±

 Chapter 429 - Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Getting More and More Cowardly!

    Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Getting More and More Cowardly!


    Chen Cang¡¯s rules were very clear!


    First, deduce the patient¡¯s condition based on symptoms, signs, and other clues.


    Then, use the current medical history and past history together to infer the possibilities!


    Next, begin to verify your judgment through physiological and biochemical tests.


    Chen Cang¡¯s simple rescue procedure formed a framework of logical thinking for many regulatory trainees.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°This is clinical thinking!¡±


    Everyone was startled.


    Actually, for a doctor, the most important thing is the formation of clinical thinking.


    At this moment, Xu Dongdong¡¯s words made everyone even more curious.


    ¡°Yes! Teacher Chen, the serum electrolytes haven¡¯t come back yet, how did you guess the value of the blood potassium? Was it based on experience?¡±


    ¡°Right! Teacher Chen, you were so cool just now, how did you make that judgment? Do you have a secret trick?¡±


    ¡­


    Seeing a group of students, Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Of course, there¡¯s a trick!¡±


    On hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up, and they quickly pulled out pens and paper¡ªthis was going to be ¡°solid stuff¡±!


    Actual solid stuff!


    Chen Cang, seeing this, was also happy to share.


    How does that saying go?


    Right! Knowledge is not one¡¯s own; one is merely a user and disseminator of knowledge.


    The more people who have this knowledge, the more people can be saved.


    ¡°In fact, did you all notice that I just did an electrocardiogram (ECG)?¡±


    Everyone nodded, ¡°Mmm, we saw it, but¡­ the ECG is just a waveform, what does that have to do with blood potassium?¡±


    Chen Cang then said to Xiao Lin, ¡°Xiao Lin, I printed an extra ECG just now, can you get it for me?¡±


    Chen Cang had printed an extra ECG earlier for safety, and now it came in handy.


    Xiao Lin hurriedly brought it over and handed it to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang took the ECG and said to everyone, ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate any test, whether it be a thermometer, sphygmomanometer, heart auscultation, or ECG, X-rays, and so on¡­¡±


    ¡°These tests can give us many clues!¡±


    ¡°Hyperkalemia and its ECG abnormalities are even a typical example. I hope everyone will remember what I am about to say!¡±


    On hearing this, everyone quickly prepared their notebooks and pens, listening intently.


    ¡°When blood potassium levels rise, it increases the permeability of the cell membrane to potassium ions during the repolarization phase, making the slope of the action potential steeper and the duration shorter. The first ECG manifestations of high potassium are peaked T-waves and shortened QT intervals. So when I saw the ECG, I had already basically confirmed the patient had hyperkalemia.¡±


    ¡°As you all know, patients with hyperkalemia come and go in a hurry.¡±


    At Chen Cang¡¯s phrase ¡°come and go in a hurry,¡± everyone laughed, but they all knew it was indeed the case¡ªhyperkalemia could cause cardiac arrest at any moment, endangering the patient¡¯s life!


    Chen Cang continued, ¡°Indeed, serum electrolyte testing is the gold standard for diagnosing hyperkalemia, but by the time the biochemical tests come back, one or two hours would have passed, and the patient could already be gone. What would I need this gold standard for then?¡±


    ¡°So, at that moment, if you suspect hyperkalemia, you must do an ECG. This is a little clinical tip!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, as the blood potassium level rises, different concentrations will present different manifestations. Start taking notes!¡± Chen Cang reminded them.


    ¡°When blood potassium is greater than 6.5 mmol/L, there is uniform widening of the QRS complex, which could result in ventricular conduction block;


    When blood potassium exceeds 7.0 mmol/L, there may be a reduction in P-wave height and an increase in duration;


    And when blood potassium is around 8.5 mmol/L, P waves can disappear, resulting in sinus-ventricular conduction.¡±


    This was officially reported, and it could be used clinically, so Chen Cang spoke without hesitation.


    If it had been just his personal experience, he would have spoken more conservatively.


    After hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes sparkled as they fervently took notes.


    Many pieces of knowledge only shine when combined with clinical practice.


    At this moment, the Chen Cang they saw had his own halo effect!


    They were all thirsty for knowledge.


    How could they have imagined that different ECG patterns could reflect abnormal signals in human blood potassium levels?


    This was something they could never have imagined.


    Just like Chen Cang said, if you wait for the blood electrolyte results and the patient is already gone, you won¡¯t even know why!


    As a physician, one must continuously improve one¡¯s skills.


    These skills include diagnostic techniques, treatment techniques, surgical techniques, and the art of communicating with patients.


    Life is full of lessons to be learned.


    At this moment, a student couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Teacher Chen, will a person die immediately if their blood potassium reaches 10?¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°As the blood potassium concentration further increases to 10 mmol/L, the QRS will broaden even more, may blend with the T wave into a sine-wave appearance, ultimately resulting in death from ventricular standstill or fibrillation.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Cang looked at everyone.


    ¡°So, the most taboo thing in clinical practice is reliance on experience, especially in emergency situations. You must never use your habitual experience to treat others, and you should not casually advise or encourage others in daily life.¡±


    ¡°Without full knowledge of the patient¡¯s condition, anything you say might be wrong, any advice you give could be lethal!¡±


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, ¡°If you had followed the routine for an electrolyte disorder just now, with vomiting and diarrhea, is it not just rehydration and electrolyte adjustment? Supplementation of sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamins¡­ If so, consider what state the patient would be in! Think about it for yourselves.¡±


    ¡°Medicine does not tolerate the slightest carelessness. In the two months in the emergency department, I¡¯m not expecting you to learn too much, but there is one thing you must learn!¡±


    ¡°That is to be cautious and prudent.¡±


    With that statement, all the attending trainees fell silent.


    There are no shortages of such examples in life. A method that might work for oneself could be the direct cause of someone else¡¯s death.


    So!


    The most appropriate advice might just be: go see a doctor!


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°So, do you know what the difference is between a doctor and a butcher?¡±


    The crowd was startled and looked up at Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang said earnestly, ¡°A doctor becomes more timid with more experience, while a butcher grows bolder!¡±


    The remark was humorous, and the group couldn¡¯t help but smirk upon hearing it.


    But inside¡­ they couldn¡¯t laugh!


    The more they smiled, the heavier they felt.


    Chen Cang looked at everyone, stood up, and left, heading towards the office. He did not expect the group to remember everything, but there was one thing they must remember: when treating patients, always be:


    Cautious!


    Cautious!


    Cautious!


    At that moment, within the crowd, a man was sweating profusely!


    He was terrified and dared not raise his head.


    Thinking about his own show of bravado, he felt utterly childish¡­


    What if he had managed the elderly patient on his own¡­


    What would the result have been?


    This was a living life, and he was just over 30 years old ¨C if something went wrong, who could be held responsible?


    Who would be accountable for the elderly patient!


    Life only happens once?


    Who would let you retry?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: What I want to convey with this story is that well-meant advice might not always be suitable for others.


    So it is with diseases!


    Is it not the same with life itself?


    Without sufficient understanding of the disease, well-intended advice can lead to misdiagnosis or mistreatment.


    Without sufficient awareness of another person¡¯s circumstances, what can seemingly well-intentioned advice lead to?


    Traditional Chinese medicine regards medicine as a path; in fact, in life and medicine, many things are shared. I hope this story provides everyone with a little food for thought.

 Chapter 430 - Chapter 430: Chapter 430: I Really Want to Live Another 500 Years!!

    Chapter 430: Chapter 430: I Really Want to Live Another 500 Years!!


    As the weekend approached, Chen Cang felt a bit dejected that there was no reply from ¡°The British Journal of Surgery¡±.


    He had hoped to make a splash at the annual conference, but it seemed that his moment to shine was not going to happen.


    ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±


    Amidst his dilemma, a clear and spirited voice interrupted his thoughts. Chen Cang smiled and turned around, his mood instantly lifted by the sight of Qin Xiaotian.


    ¡°Are you going to the surgical conference?¡± Chen Cang asked curiously. ¡°If you want to go¡­ I can get you an invitation!¡±


    Chen Cang felt that he still had some influence in the field of hepatobiliary surgery, especially with his good relations with top experts like Comrade Fu, Director Qian Liang, and if you aim higher, Director Zhou Hongguang!


    Qin Yue laughed it off, ¡°Your sister Yue has been a member of the society for a long time! Do I need you to introduce me? Little Cang Er?¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned for a moment; of course, that¡¯s true. After all, Qin Yue graduated from a prestigious school and had a position in the hospital, which naturally made it easier for her to enter such circles.


    Most importantly, her father was Qin Xiaoyuan, the esteemed Dean, and with that title, joining a society would be a piece of cake, wouldn¡¯t it?


    At that moment, Qin Yue suddenly turned around, eyes narrowed with a mischievous grin, and extended her index finger, teasingly lifting Chen Cang¡¯s chin, her gaze confident and playful:


    ¡°Cang Er, you just focus on being beautiful. I¡¯ll bear arms and win the world for you, how does that sound?¡±


    After saying this, she paused for about three seconds: ¡°Think it over!¡±


    Chen Cang was somewhat bewildered!


    Looking at Qin Yue¡¯s challenging and teasing gaze, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh.


    After all, if it had been Teacher Meng Xi doing this, perhaps there would be a bit of intimidation that would make people more convinced!


    However, Qin Xiaotian naturally had a cute charm, her eyes always sparkling with an adorable and mischievous light. With such antics, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t resist grabbing her right hand and with a swift motion, pulled Qin Yue towards him.


    Chen Cang then took her by the wrist and took her into his arms with his other hand!


    This mischievous girl!


    She¡¯s just too playful!


    Qin Yue was not finished putting on airs, but Chen Cang had suddenly pulled her into his embrace, leaving her dumbfounded.


    Her thoughts hadn¡¯t caught up before she found herself hoisted onto Chen Cang¡¯s shoulder!


    She got a shock!


    ¡°Chen Cang, put me down!¡±


    Chen Cang got up and turned a deaf ear to her protests!


    With one hand embracing her legs and Qin Yue lying across his left shoulder, Chen Cang carried her on his shoulder and walked back to where they had come from.


    The park at nine in the morning was very comfortable, with the autumn breeze being neither cold nor hot. It had a few more hints of coolness than spring but also an autumnal atmosphere unique to the season.


    The flowers in the park were still blooming in abundance, with the scent of roses and osmanthus wafting through the air, feeling very pleasant.


    And the chrysanthemums under the streetlights appeared particularly radiant.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang got a sudden urge!


    He gave Qin Yue¡¯s butt a light tap twice and said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s for being smug! Without a beating for three days, you¡¯d climb to the roof to strip the tiles, daring to flirt with me!¡±


    Qin Yue felt a weird sensation and instantly blushed!


    But being carried by Chen Cang like this, with her head hanging back, felt like being abducted by an ancient bandit king!


    ¡°Chen Cang, let me go!¡±


    Chen Cang not only ignored her!


    But he also slapped her lightly, the force just right!


    Qin Yue shouted again: ¡°Chen thief, release me this instant!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback. Are you really getting into character, girl?


    So, he slapped her again!


    But this time he added, ¡°Little lady, come with this lord back to the mountain to be the chieftain¡¯s wife! You¡¯ll follow me and live a life of luxury.¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s face grew even redder: ¡°Scoundrel, even as a ghost, I will not let you off!¡±


    Chen Cang laughed nonchalantly, his hand striking a little harder this time.


    ¡°I was born brave; a beautiful ghost like you is like a delivery to my doorstep!¡±


    Qin Yue seemed to get addicted to the role-play, her voice sounding even more mournful, ¡°Chen scoundrel! Even if you have me, you won¡¯t have my heart!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang chuckled lewdly: ¡°Isn¡¯t that enough?¡±


    But just as he was about to continue, the scene before him startled Chen Cang!


    He saw his future father-in-law, Qin Xiaoyuan, and mother-in-law, Ji Ruyun, approaching head-on!


    They caught sight of Qin Yue being carried on Chen Cang¡¯s shoulder, and¡­ Chen Cang¡¯s hand was still on Qin Yue¡¯s¡­bottom!


    All of a sudden, six eyes, bright and piercing, looked particularly conspicuous under the streetlights!


    Old Qin felt some twitching in his face, unsure which of the twelve pairs of facial nerves were acting up!


    Ji Ruyun felt that her breathing was somewhat constricted, unsure if it was related to an allergy to today¡¯s floral fragrance!


    Chen Cang¡¯s hand, resting on that certain something of Qin Yue, felt numb, or rather, it just couldn¡¯t move!


    Just at that moment.


    Qin Yue seemed to have gotten into character, when she suddenly said!


    ¡°My lord, be gentle with your maid¡­¡±


    Her voice was soft and seductive, with a hint of allure, a touch of languidness, and¡­ a tickling sensation.


    At that moment!


    All three were dumbfounded!


    At a loss!


    Quite bewildered!


    A bit flustered.


    Today¡¯s breeze was rather rowdy, indeed!


    ¡­


    At this time, Chen Cang gulped down a mouthful of saliva, feeling the sweat beading up and his heart racing.


    Meanwhile, Old Qin suddenly grabbed Ji Ruyun, turned around, and started walking away, feigning a hoarse voice, ¡°Ah, my dear, why do I feel a bit blurry-eyed and can¡¯t see anything!¡±


    Ji Ruyun also spoke in a hushed tone, ¡°Oh, my husband, me too, and¡­ my ears are buzzing, I can¡¯t hear anything, what on earth is going on?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan, too absorbed in his role, continued in a pinched voice, ¡°Let¡¯s hurry home and rest early!¡±


    Ji Ruyun nodded!


    The two of them hastened their steps and quickly left.


    This left Chen Cang somewhat dumbstruck!


    This is¡­


    Incredibly magical!


    Just when he was at a loss, he noticed that the dean, Qin Yue, had reacted in time.


    A dean is indeed a dean; the more Chen Cang thought about it, the more he genuinely admired him.


    But¡­


    This whole family is darn good at acting¡­


    Recalling Old Qin¡¯s reaction, Chen Cang felt somewhat embarrassed.


    Thinking about this, Chen Cang¡¯s hand suddenly regained sensation, and then he gave a squeeze, hmm, not bad, everything seemed fine!


    So then¡­


    Maybe one more try?


    Thinking along these lines, Chen Cang tested it again!


    Just as Chen Cang was about to give it another try, Qin Yue whispered in his ear, ¡°Value your little life!¡±


    Chen Cang instantly turned pale!


    He hastily let go of Qin Yue.


    He coughed and said, ¡°That¡­ this¡­ my hand had a cramp just now, couldn¡¯t move it!¡±


    Qin Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Cang, a smile playing on her lips, ¡°Really?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded seriously, his eyes brimming with innocence.


    However, thinking about Qin Yue¡¯s massage skills being at a black belt level, Chen Cang started to feel anxious.


    He suddenly missed Dean Qin, don¡¯t leave¡­ I really want to live another five hundred years¡­


    Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang with a smile, ¡°Feeling good?¡±


    Chen Cang honestly nodded his head, ¡°Hmm!¡±


    Seeing the veiled threat in Qin Yue¡¯s gaze, Chen Cang decided it was best to run ten meters first; with his long legs, he might still have a chance!


    With that thought, Chen Cang turned tail and ran!


    Qin Yue picked up two leaves and hurled them at Chen Cang, but alas, she had not mastered the art of leaf darts, and then she chased after him with great bravado, ¡°Scoundrel, halt! Call me your granny and I¡¯ll spare your life!¡±


    At this point, Chen Cang would absolutely not stop running!


    He swore!


    Hit and run, after all, my legs are long!


    ¡­


    ¡­

 Chapter 431 - Chapter 431: Chapter 431: I Just Crave It

    Chapter 431: Chapter 431: I Just Crave It


    At that moment, in the grass, Qin someone and Ji someone were silent!


    They then exchanged a glance and saw countless messages in each other¡¯s eyes.


    For a long while!


    Both of them sighed.


    Ah¡­


    Qin Xiaoyuan felt profoundly that other people¡¯s daughters change significantly when they turn eighteen,


    and the extreme ones simply never stay the way they were!


    But his own daughter, this turning eighteen¡­


    Turning eighteen¡­ what on earth did she become?


    Whereas Ji Ruyun was looking at the two running figures in the distance, but she just smiled. Is this youth?


    How nice!


    Seeing Qin Yue laugh without restraint, happily doing what she wants and liking the person she likes, Ruyun truly felt happy for her.


    Even though some of those words were nonsensical.


    But isn¡¯t this just what youth should look like?


    Besides, they¡¯re getting old and have a generational gap with the young people; all of this is normal.


    Moreover, it¡¯s lucky that there¡¯s a Chen Cang who can join her in her ruckus. If it had been someone else, Qin Yue probably wouldn¡¯t have liked him, right?


    Ji Ruyun understood Qin Yue very well and knew what this girl was thinking.


    Interesting souls are one in ten thousand, and beautiful shells are one in a hundred thousand.


    Meeting Chen Cang, who is interesting, good-looking, and capable, is Qin Yue¡¯s fortune!


    Ji Ruyun didn¡¯t favor either side; she spoke the plain truth.


    She really appreciated Chen Cang.


    And her understanding of Chen Cang had also come from Qin Yue¡¯s words.


    Qin Yue often talked to her, opening her heart and communicating.


    She knew how this silly girl felt about Chen Cang.


    Youth is not only about striving; it also involves learning to love.


    In Qin Yue¡¯s life of over twenty years, she had been working hard, studying, and working. But now, she had finally learned to love someone.


    This was a good thing!


    But Qin Xiaoyuan was very worried!


    He always felt that this little thief and his own ¡®inside thief¡¯ were going to cause some trouble!


    If they were to make a ¡®little thief,¡¯ wouldn¡¯t that be absurd?


    Sure, the two of them are good together!


    But¡­ this is totally out of the blue!


    At this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Ji Ruyun, ¡°Wife, when you have time, you should talk to Yueyue. What¡¯s all this about? It¡¯s too¡­ absurd!¡±


    Ji Ruyun scoffed, ¡°Absurd? Do you think it¡¯s absurd? Then what about the things you did in college? Weren¡¯t they absurd?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was stunned, recalling his own time in college with his wife¡­ suddenly he was at a loss for words!


    But!


    Can this be the same?


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face flushed, ¡°Can this be the same?¡±


    Ji Ruyun smiled, ¡°How is it different? Is Chen Cang not more handsome than you? Not wealthier? Or less capable? Does he not have his youth? Is your daughter too precious?¡±


    Three sentences left Qin Xiaoyuan dumbstruck!


    What on earth are these two going on about?


    Is this meant to aggravate me?


    Qin Xiaoyuan was still trying to speak, ¡°But!¡±


    Ji Ruyun stood up and started walking towards home: ¡°Enough, don¡¯t worry about what you shouldn¡¯t. Young people should act their age. Old Qin, I¡¯m not criticizing you, but there¡¯s a right way to dote on your daughter.¡±


    ¡°Yueyue is already of this age, soon to be 30, will you keep controlling her forever? Do you really want to stop Yueyue from finding a partner?¡±


    ¡°You should only manage what you ought to. Yueyue is already 28 years old, she¡¯s had a good family and school education, does she still need your worry?¡±


    ¡°From now on, leave Yueyue¡¯s love life to her! Of course¡­ don¡¯t meddle too much with Chen Cang either, I think that young man is quite good.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan fell silent after Ji Ruyun¡¯s words.


    Could it be that he really was too controlling?


    Ji Ruyun suddenly added one last sentence, ¡°Hey¡­ you never resisted me like this when you were young, not romantic at all! Hmph¡­¡±


    ¡°Hurry back home, soak your feet, and go to bed early.¡±


    Before Ji Ruyun¡¯s words had finished!


    She just felt herself being picked up and carried out!


    Ji Ruyun was immediately startled!


    ¡°Hey, Old Qin, put me down!¡±


    With a smack from Qin Xiaoyuan¡­


    Ji Ruyun¡¯s face turned red: ¡°Old Qin, there are so many people! Ah¡­ I¡¯m so embarrassed!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Upon returning home in the evening, Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun pretended as if nothing happened, smiling, ¡°You¡¯re back!¡±


    Qin Yue giggled, ¡°Yeah! I¡¯m back.¡±


    Ji Ruyun checked the time, it was only nine-thirty, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you stroll around longer? The park is lively now!¡±


    Qin Yue said with a smile, ¡°I missed mom.¡±


    Ji Ruyun gave Qin Yue a look, ¡°You sweet talker!¡±


    Qin Yue giggled, and noticing her mother¡¯s face was a healthy shade of pink, she suddenly said with a smile, ¡°Mom¡­ why is your face so red? Did you secretly buy some makeup? Can I use it too?¡±


    Ji Ruyun was taken aback, she quickly picked up the mirror on the table and took a look, then she was startled to indeed see a blush on her cheeks, ¡°Really? I didn¡¯t buy any makeup! Maybe it¡¯s from jogging downstairs.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Oh¡­ right! What¡¯s that smell¡­ it¡¯s stinky!¡±


    Qin Yue sniffed hard, like a dog¡¯s nose.


    Ji Ruyun¡¯s face changed color, ¡°Hurry and wash up, go to sleep, you need to work tomorrow, it must be your dad¡¯s foot odor!¡±


    Afterward, Ji Ruyun called out, ¡°Old Qin, take out that perfume in my room, spray some on the couch, your feet really stink! And wash your feet before getting into bed!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan smiled sheepishly, hurriedly took the perfume, and sprayed it around.


    And Ji Ruyun glared fiercely at Qin Xiaoyuan.


    ¡­


    After Chen Cang returned home, he didn¡¯t go to sleep but sorted through the surgery video again. The paper had only received one acceptance notice, and the journal had yet to arrive. It was best to get the surgery video ready in case he could win an award.


    Actually, becoming a director of the hepatobiliary department was not just a task.


    There was another reason ¨C Qin Yue was also in the hepatobiliary department.


    Chen Cang had a little wish; he hoped he could help Qin Yue in this field and provide support and protection for her.


    Seniority is still highly regarded domestically.


    Chen Cang did have a bit of vanity.


    Moreover, many emergency diseases are related to the liver and gall system.


    Acute pancreatitis, liver injuries, bile duct injuries¡­ etc., these are all urgent diseases.


    Having such a platform for communication and learning was indeed pleasing for Chen Cang.


    Lying in bed, Qin Yue tossed and turned, unable to sleep.


    She sent Chen Cang a message, ¡°Little Cang Er, aren¡¯t you coming to put ¡®Her Highness¡¯ to bed!¡±


    Chen Cang saw the emoticon Qin Yue made herself and couldn¡¯t help but smile, replying, ¡°You little girl, is your butt itching? Be careful or I¡¯ll spank it!¡±


    Qin Yue, thinking about their time in the park today, instantly blushed.


    ¡°You rascal, if you want to touch that just say so! Old lecher!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    However, recalling how today his pat on Qin Yue¡¯s butt got both caught red-handed by Dean Qin and Ji Ruyun, he still felt somewhat uneasy.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang carefully asked, ¡°After you got home today, was there anything odd with your parents?¡±


    Qin Yue scratched her head, pondering, ¡°Odd? My mom seemed to have a red face, and there was a smell of my dad¡¯s foot odor in the room, other than that¡­ nothing much I guess!¡±


    ¡°Oh! Tell me to stay out longer, wondering why you came home so early.¡±


    With that, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief, good that nothing was amiss!


    Qin Yue sighed, ¡°Ah, I already miss you now that we¡¯ve just been apart.¡±


    Seeing Qin Yue¡¯s message, Chen Cang suddenly smiled, ¡°Oh? You really like me that much, huh?¡±


    Qin Yue sent a sly emoticon, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much of it, I¡¯m just craving your body!¡±

 Chapter 432 - Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Ive sacrificed too much for my career!

    Chapter 432: Chapter 432: I¡¯ve sacrificed too much for my career!


    After yesterday¡¯s ¡°hyperkalemia¡± incident, the trainees who had been transferred to the emergency department seemed to have suddenly made progress, taking the initiative to help out their teaching attendings after arriving at the department.


    It seemed they had also come to realize that in the emergency department, every detail and piece of knowledge could be an intangible asset for their future work.


    For example, at train stations, on trains, or on planes, when an emergency arises and a doctor is called, what does it feel like to want to help but feel cowardly because of inadequate skills?


    Learn more skills!


    It means an extra layer of protection for patients!


    Chen Cang had deeply understood this saying over the past three years!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    On Friday afternoon, the entire emergency department suddenly became busy.


    While Chen Cang was bandaging a trauma patient, his phone suddenly rang.


    Chen Cang had been especially sensitive to his phone in the past few days, constantly waiting for a delivery call.


    He hastily asked Xu Dongdong to check who it was.


    Xu Dongdong said, ¡°Delivery for food.¡±


    Chen Cang immediately felt a rush of joy¡­ Have you finally arrived?


    It should be his journal; he hadn¡¯t ordered anything else recently.


    If it didn¡¯t arrive, the conference would start tomorrow!


    With this thought, Chen Cang eagerly said, ¡°Dongdong, could you help me pick up a delivery at the west gate of the hospital?¡±


    Xu Dongdong nodded and left.


    After treating the patient, Chen Cang quickly returned to his office, waiting expectantly.


    After all, this was the first time Chen Cang was publishing in such a prestigious journal.


    ¡°Liver Transplantation¡±!


    The thought was somewhat exciting.


    But life just loves to play tricks; the more you want to do something, the less it allows you. He had hardly settled down when another patient arrived, not giving Chen Cang a moment¡¯s peace.


    Reluctantly, Chen Cang got up and continued into the treatment room.


    This time, the patient was a woman in her forties, heavily made-up and in high heels, who had fallen after her heel got caught in a drain cover, resulting in a cut on her leg.


    The stocking was stuck to the wound on her leg, but it wasn¡¯t serious.


    Looking at it, Chen Cang said, ¡°Let me cut your stocking off? Be careful not to touch the wound when you take it off later.¡±


    The woman¡¯s face changed as soon as she heard this: ¡°No, no, doctor, you help me take it off.¡±


    Chen Cang paused upon hearing the woman¡¯s boldness; this wasn¡¯t appropriate!


    Chen Cang said, ¡°You take off the stocking first, and then I can treat you.¡±


    The woman frowned and said pitifully, ¡°I¡¯m afraid it will hurt.¡±


    Lele, who was standing to one side, couldn¡¯t stand it any longer: ¡°I¡¯ll help you!¡±


    The woman glanced at the formidable Lele, sighed, and although hesitant, she had no choice but to comply.


    Indeed!


    As one of the few tall and strong female nurses in the emergency department, Lele stood around 170 cm tall and weighed more than 70 kilograms, finally breaking the 150-pound mark after having a baby!


    According to her, her weight was a sacrifice for love and career.


    After all, working in the emergency department involved a lot of physical work, and Lele was indeed an indispensable heavyweight player in the nursing team.


    Lele quickly removed the obstacle of the stocking, and after that, the wound cleaning, disinfection, and bandaging were fairly simple!


    The only awkward part was that this flamboyantly dressed lady seemed very sensitive to pain.


    The voice¡­ um, was quite wavering and sounded rather strange!


    ¡°Ouch¡­ it hurts so much!¡±


    ¡°Aah¡­ Doctor, be gentler!¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­ it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!¡±


    ¡­


    For Chen Cang and Lele, this voice was simply torture!


    Worried about misinterpretation by those uninformed, Chen Cang quickly asked Lele to open the door of the treatment room, afraid others might get the wrong idea!


    Just as expected!


    No sooner had Lele opened the door than she found a group of trainees gathered at the entrance, looking inside with a mocking gaze!


    Even Qin Yue and several nurses were at the doorway¡­


    The moment they saw the door open, everyone hurriedly scattered!


    Qin Yue also finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still gave Chen Cang a knowing look, which made Chen Cang feel very innocent!


    Actually, during private examinations or treatments in the hospital, it is common to have a member of the opposite sex present to avoid any awkward situations.


    Xu Dongdong stood at the door, feeling extremely awkward, unsure whether to enter or not.


    Chen Cang glanced at Xu Dongdong, ¡°Dongdong, help me open it and let me have a look inside.¡±


    Xu Dongdong nodded and said, ¡°It should be a book!¡±


    Chen Cang often received books, but many were promotional brochures from pharmaceutical companies or other businesses.


    After Xu Dongdong opened it, she suddenly found it was a foreign magazine.


    He had never seen it before.


    ¡°Professor Chen, look, it¡¯s this, looks like it¡¯s a magazine.¡±


    Upon seeing the cover, Chen Cang immediately became delighted, it was indeed ¡°Liver Transplantation¡±.


    He said promptly, ¡°Hmm, okay, take it to my office for me.¡±


    Afterwards, he quickly bandaged the woman¡¯s wound and, after giving her several instructions, he started heading towards the doctor¡¯s office.


    The woman hurriedly grabbed Chen Cang, ¡°Um¡­ Doctor, could you give me your WeChat? Just in case¡­ if I have any sequelae¡­ I can ask you.¡±


    Her eyes, fluttering with mascara-coated false eyelashes, were full of insinuation!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. Sequelae from a scrape? How about exaggerating it even more?


    The only sequelae would probably be that the wound would heal in a few days and to remember to throw away the bandage.


    Chen Cang smiled and was about to speak, when Lele suddenly stood beside him with a fierce presence and said to the woman, ¡°I¡¯m his girlfriend!¡±


    The woman¡¯s expression changed immediately; she looked at Chen Cang disdainfully and muttered, ¡°No taste!¡±


    She stormed off towards the outside, fuming.


    Seemingly forgetting all about her leg pain!


    Lele scoffed, ¡°Too flirty! She even tried to hook up with our department¡¯s grass!¡±


    Lele was already married and had two kids, so she said this purely to help Chen Cang out of an awkward situation.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Thanks, Lele!¡±


    Lele waved her hand and sighed, ¡°Ah¡­ I hope my husband won¡¯t misunderstand. For my career and love, I¡¯ve really sacrificed too much!¡±


    After saying that, she shook her head and walked away.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Xu Dongdong, holding the magazine, returned to the department and curiously examined the cover, all in English.


    After struggling to translate it, she suddenly froze in shock!


    It was ¡°Liver Transplantation¡±?


    This was a highly-ranked surgical journal.


    No wonder Professor Chen was so impressive, constantly reading these latest foreign magazines.


    Thinking this, Xu Dongdong couldn¡¯t help but admire him.


    After all¡­ not many people have an interest in reading these all-English magazines.


    Soon after, Chen Cang walked in smiling, ¡°Thank you, Dongdong. You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±


    Xu Dongdong smiled, ¡°No worries, Professor Chen, you¡¯re really amazing, even reading such high-end magazines! Do you subscribe to every issue?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, realizing that Xu Dongdong had misunderstood, and explained, ¡°No, I published an article in it, and they sent me a copy. I usually don¡¯t subscribe, but you do make a good point, I should subscribe to more good journals in the future!¡±


    Xu Dongdong, after hearing this, was stunned!


    Wait!


    It wasn¡¯t about subscribing to journals!


    It was about having an article published in ¡°Liver Transplantation¡±, and suddenly, Xu Dongdong¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, instinctively letting out a ¡°holy shit!¡±


    A casual remark from Chen Cang whipped up a category 12 tornado in Xu Dongdong¡¯s mind!


    Is he that awesome!?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Thanks to ¡°Jing Li¡± from QQ Reading for the 30,000 reward, becoming the book¡¯s protector, thank you! Also thanks to everyone who subscribes and votes!

 Chapter 434 - Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Is this... a Dowry?

    chapter 434: chapter 434: is this¡­ a dowry?


    ¡°`


    accompanied by the gnashing of teeth of a bunch of old friends, li baoshan felt the thick love coming through the screen!


    not bad, not bad at all!


    he had received everyone¡¯s blessings!


    with this thought, he replied to everyone in the comments section, ¡°unified response: thank you all!¡±


    after that, he walked outside with a smile.


    today¡¯s wind is quite boisterous, huh!


    wang xiangjun, upon seeing the message, instantly felt a twitch in his eyelid. this li heitan really was¡­ getting better and better at showing off. who taught him?


    but¡­ seeing an old friend get a paper on liver transplants published also made him exceedingly happy. it was just that alongside the joy, there was a touch of unwillingness.


    however¡­ as soon as wang xiangjun took a closer look, he let out a surprised sound.


    the corresponding author is: chencang?


    all of a sudden!


    wang xiangjun thought of a name: chen cang!


    was it that¡­ little chen?!


    instantly, wang xiangjun realized, this li, shameless guy, was showing off someone else¡¯s publication, embarrassed himself big time!


    tui!


    i just look down on you!


    yes, i¡¯m being bitter!


    just a sourpuss, so what? can¡¯t i be bitter for a bit?


    but li baoshan is also the first author!


    there¡¯s nothing wrong with that.


    then, with the caption ¡°this era ultimately belongs to the young, we are old!¡± there was almost no flaw!


    wang xiangjun slapped his thigh!


    it was indeed chen cang. it was little chen¡¯s article, adding li baoshan¡¯s name as the first author.


    it must be like that.


    wang xiangjun guessed it thoroughly all at once.


    wang xiangjun suddenly pictured that young, tall and capable fellow in his mind.


    every encounter brought him surprises.


    the first time was with the dialysis fluid configuration, which made wang xiangjun have a lot of good feelings.


    the second time was chen cang¡¯s emergency surgery, which left wang xiangjun somewhat shocked.


    and this time, chen cang had actually published a paper on liver transplantation!


    wang xiangjun fell silent.


    after thorough reflection!


    reflection!


    thinking it over, unable to swallow his pride, he decided that on monday, he would put pressure on the doctors in his department. after all, the greater the pressure, the stronger the drive. he felt the potential of young people was limitless.


    without giving them pressure, they wouldn¡¯t understand what progress means!


    it wasn¡¯t just wang xiangjun, at this time many department heads had seen through the act li baoshan put on.


    the core element of this act was: it doesn¡¯t matter that i¡¯m old, i have a group of proud subordinates, do you acknowledge this or not?


    these heads all made a decision to go back and push the doctors in their departments, to spur them on!


    for a brief time, this weekend became the last relaxing weekend of the year for many hospital department doctors, unaware that after this weekend, they might face a new beginning!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    xu dongdong, after returning to the dorm, decided to thoroughly study chen cang¡¯s paper again to learn and accumulate experience for the future.


    the other three were chatting. upon seeing xu dongdong return, they greeted him, ¡°dongdong, why are you back so late? we were planning to have dinner together.¡±


    xu dongdong smiled, ¡°i was just reviewing teacher chen¡¯s paper.¡±


    the male student couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°teacher chen? ah, you should just call him chen cang. we¡¯re in the dorm, not outside. why call him teacher chen, and besides, he¡¯s probably not even older than us!¡±


    another person nodded in agreement, ¡°right, don¡¯t think too highly of him. he¡¯s just got more clinical experience than most. you have three years of clinical experience; you¡¯re definitely not inferior to him! your starting points are different, he was an undergraduate and you¡¯re a grad student.¡±


    xu dongdong, hearing this, couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°i might never catch up to teacher chen¡¯s achievements in this lifetime!¡±


    that statement stunned everyone.


    what do you mean?


    the male student said, ¡°dongdong, respect is one thing, but you shouldn¡¯t put yourself down! you¡¯ve already published two articles in core peking university journals during your graduate studies, which is not something just anyone can do.¡±


    ¡°`


    xu dongdong shook her head, ¡°do you guys know what the express delivery i fetched for teacher chen earlier was?¡±


    everyone shook their heads, looking utterly clueless, ¡°what was it?¡±


    xu dongdong smiled, ¡°it was a magazine called ¡®liver transplantation¡¯!¡±


    instantly, everyone¡¯s smiles vanished.


    xu dongdong continued, ¡°i thought teacher chen had subscribed to the journal, but it turned out he had published an article in ¡®liver transplantation,¡¯ and they sent back the original copy of the magazine.¡±


    this statement caused the trio to widen their eyes in disbelief,


    and their breathing grew somewhat rapid!


    was chen cang really that incredible?


    he published in ¡®liver transplant¡¯!


    xu dongdong smiled, ¡°it¡¯s not that i¡¯m putting myself down, it¡¯s just that i think we should earnestly learn from them. including qin yue whom you¡¯re following, and teacher chen bingsheng whom you¡¯re following, they¡¯re all participants, and i think there¡¯s a lot we can learn!¡±


    xu dongdong¡¯s words left everyone in silence.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    on friday night, qin yue returned home in high spirits, hands behind her back, holding the photocopy that chen cang had given her, and ran cheerfully to her mother, exclaiming, ¡°mom, look, the gift chen cang gave me!¡±


    old qin also looked at qin yue curiously, ¡°what is it? you¡¯re being so secretive!¡±


    qin yue beamed, ¡°it¡¯s something really nice!¡±


    ji ruyun smiled, love is blind, and anything given is received with joy.


    however, seeing that qin yue was holding just a few sheets of paper, she couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, ¡°a love letter?¡±


    upon hearing ¡®love letter,¡¯ qin yue paused for a second, her eyes lighting up!


    she put down the paper first, picked up her phone, and wrote in her notes, ¡°get chen cang to write me a love letter!¡±


    this memo was qin yue¡¯s personal diary, where she had written many of her little fantasies, like ¡°chen cang confessing his love to her,¡± ¡°chen cang taking her on a roller coaster ride,¡±¡­ and various other goals.


    now, she had added another one!


    qin xiaoyuan sneakily picked up the papers, giggling, ¡°come on, let me see what kind of mushy words have been written¡­¡±


    but just as he picked them up, old qin¡¯s expression changed drastically!


    then he quickly flipped through a couple more pages and was suddenly dumbstruck.


    this kid¡­ this gift is no small matter!


    more precious than a diamond ring!


    this article is worth at least the price of a two-carat diamond ring!


    and it¡¯s priceless.


    this is no exaggeration, the cost of commissioning a ¡®liver transplantation¡¯ article is very high!


    especially since it¡¯s directly related to little qin¡¯s specialty, this isn¡¯t something money can buy.


    otherwise, why would zhang youfu still lack the money? why wouldn¡¯t he just buy an article?


    this isn¡¯t about money!


    with this thought, old qin widened his eyes as he looked at his daughter.


    this chen cang is really extraordinary!


    ji ruyun, seeing old qin¡¯s changing expressions, was also extremely curious ¨C what on earth was gifted?


    with that thought, she hurriedly took the papers from old qin¡¯s hand and, upon closer inspection, she too was stunned!


    this¡­ is precious!


    this gift, while possibly worthless to others,


    carries a significant meaning to those in medicine.


    this article should be enough for qin yue to apply for the ¡°direct doctorate admission review system,¡± right?


    no need to take part in the joint entrance exam at all.


    with this in mind, ji ruyun looked at qin yue and couldn¡¯t help but say with a laugh, ¡°yueyue, is this the betrothal gift from little chen?¡±


    upon hearing this, qin yue¡¯s face flushed red instantly!


    ¡°mom, what are you talking about!¡±


    but inside, qin yue was thrilled, happier than if she had eaten the most delicious treat.


    ji ruyun smiled, ¡°what do you think? should mom agree?¡±

 Chapter 435 - Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Sudden Accident!

    chapter 435: chapter 435: sudden accident!


    on saturday morning, chen cang got himself tidied up, donning the only suit and leather shoes he had worn for a job interview back then.


    after checking himself out for three minutes in the mirror and feeling quite satisfied, he set off.


    the clothes from three years ago no longer fit; it seemed he had grown more robust since then, or had he grown taller?


    ¡°the british journal of surgery¡± still hadn¡¯t responded, but having ¡°liver transplantation¡± should be close enough. combined with the concept conveyed by his two surgery videos, chen cang felt it shouldn¡¯t be a big issue with the committee!


    he had originally decided to go with qin yue, but qin yue told him mysteriously to go by himself, saying she might go later.


    chen cang, having no choice, had to go alone.


    on saturday morning, the roads weren¡¯t that congested.


    the vastness of the roadway gave one the urge to floor the accelerator.


    a didi ride was hailed, arriving within two minutes ¡ª a toyota corolla. the driver was no spring chicken, well into his fifties. seeing chen cang get in, he greeted with a cheery, ¡°young man, looking sharp! off to a blind date?¡±


    chen cang sat in the passenger seat, looked at the uncle, and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, ¡°do you think i¡¯d have a high success rate on a blind date dressed like this?¡±


    the uncle laughed, ¡°with a smart look like yours, you¡¯d succeed no matter what you wear!¡±


    with that, both men laughed.


    ah, a beautiful day starts with a bit of harmless boasting.


    this corolla¡¯s interior was rather feminine, with a few anime figures in the front, pink accessories and cushions ¡ª the disheveled uncle seemed rather out of place!


    could it be that this scruffy uncle harbored a luo tianyi in his heart?


    noticing chen cang¡¯s curiosity, the uncle chuckled and explained, ¡°it¡¯s my daughter¡¯s car. she¡¯s off today, not working, so i took it for a spin to earn a bit of extra cash.¡±


    chen cang nodded; such stories weren¡¯t too rare.


    however, this made chen cang ponder whether he should get a car of his own.


    so he struck up a conversation with the uncle about it.


    the road was less crowded than usual, allowing for a more relaxed drive.


    however, just as the car was making a left turn, another vehicle zoomed past. the driver immediately yanked the steering wheel, and fortunately, they were not going fast. nonetheless, the car skidded, leaving a black tire mark on the road, accompanied by the smell of burning rubber. chen cang and the uncle broke out in a cold sweat!


    the uncle cursed, ¡°damn it, who drives that fast in the early morning? in a damn rush to be reincarnated!¡±


    after steadying their nerves, they straightened the car and continued on.


    but less than 50 meters down, chen cang spotted a red mark on a pedestrian crosswalk. his enhanced vision followed the trail and his expression abruptly changed.


    he said to the driver, ¡°uncle, stop the car! there¡¯s someone injured over there!¡±


    the uncle was initially puzzled, but following the direction chen cang was pointing, he immediately saw two people lying in a pool of blood, with a little boy standing by.


    the boy was prostrate on the ground, touching his mother¡¯s face and crying his eyes out!


    chen cang¡¯s face turned pale at the sight.


    the uncle hesitated, glanced at chen cang and said, ¡°call 120¡­ if you go over now¡­ this isn¡¯t¡­¡±


    the scene was extremely bloody.


    one person lay on the ground; another was in the green belt in the middle of the road, seemingly flung there. the little boy lay atop the woman at the roadside, wailing bitterly, the condition of the people on the ground unknown.


    seeing this, chen cang¡¯s complexion changed starkly, and recalling the speeding vehicle from moments ago, something clicked in his mind!


    hit-and-run!


    chen cang hastily went to open the door, but after pulling on it, he found it was locked. he became anxious and said to the driver, ¡°uncle, please open the door. don¡¯t worry about us; just let me out and take care of the fare yourself!¡±


    the uncle appeared somewhat bewildered. who could have expected such an incident?


    he seemed utterly befuddled!


    chen cang became urgent, ¡°hurry up and open the door! i¡¯m a doctor!¡±


    the driver was startled, but quickly came to his senses and said to chen cang, ¡°okay! get out and check on the people first!¡±


    after saying this, he pulled the car over to the side of the road, turned on the hazard lights, and got out!


    chen cang raced to the side of the woman by the roadside. at that moment, the woman had a huge gash on her abdomen from which blood was actively gushing. chen cang¡¯s complexion changed¡ªa massive hemorrhage in the abdominal cavity¡­ it might have damaged the spleen!


    a ruptured spleen?


    definitely not just that!


    upon this realization, chen cang¡¯s expression changed!


    he didn¡¯t hesitate to take off his suit jacket and press it onto the woman¡¯s body to stop the bleeding first!


    then he turned to the driver and said, ¡°you call 110 to report the accident! i¡¯m calling 120 for the ambulance!¡±


    the uncle swallowed hard, determination filled his eyes. thinking of the hit-and-run driver, his eyes blazed with anger!


    he hurried to call for help!


    meanwhile, chen cang dialed the number for old yang, the driver at province number two hospital¡¯s emergency department!


    contacting 120 was too troublesome at the moment, and since they were less than two kilometers from province number two hospital, it was quicker and more convenient to call old yang directly¡ªperfect!


    the call was quickly answered.


    chen cang urgently shouted, ¡°master yang, come quickly to dongdiao street, at the intersection by xuyang square¡ªthe pedestrian path from before¡­ yes, there¡¯s a cinema. hurry, two people were hit by a car and thrown into the air; we don¡¯t know if they¡¯re alive or dead. the driver fled the scene. mm-hmm, i¡¯m waiting for you! oh, and tell the nurse and the on-duty doctor to come too!¡±


    old yang spoke with few words, ¡°i¡¯ll arrive in 3 minutes!¡±


    his response was brisk and decisive, typical of old yang¡¯s character and style. after hearing this, chen cang felt reassured!


    he knew he had to get through these perilous three minutes!


    after hanging up, chen cang used his left hand to press down on the woman¡¯s bleeding forehead wound, while his other hand pressed against the pulsation of the carotid artery, observing her breathing¡­


    the breathing was very faint, as was the carotid pulse!


    chen cang¡¯s anxious heart eased a bit because¡­ at least she was still alive!


    applying pressure to stop the bleeding was the only effective method at this moment. the patient¡¯s massive abdominal bleeding, at such a rate, would not take long to cause hemorrhagic shock, or even¡­ death!


    as chen cang held the wound, he shouted across to the uncle, ¡°how is it, uncle?¡±


    the uncle shook his head excitedly, ¡°alive! still able to speak!¡±


    chen cang¡¯s expression brightened as he yelled to the uncle, ¡°come over here first; i¡¯ll go and check on her!¡±


    at that moment, the little boy lay on the ground, indifferent to being covered in blood, his hands trembling as he touched his mother¡¯s face, and he was crying with snot and tears flowing down.


    ¡°uncle! please save my mom, i beg you, please save her!¡±


    chen cang looked at the little boy and nodded, ¡°alright, i promise you! now get up, don¡¯t move your mom!¡±


    chen cang was now concerned that the woman might have suffered a spinal injury, which also had to be considered.


    upon hearing chen cang¡¯s words, the boy immediately stood up and stepped back!

 Chapter 436 - Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Urgent Situation

    chapter 436: chapter 436: urgent situation


    the uncle hurried over, and chen cang quickly said, ¡°you help me press down on the wound first!¡±


    the uncle nodded urgently!


    chen cang looked at the uncle with gratitude.


    at times like this, not many were willing to step forward and help, but this uncle, despite his unkempt appearance, was very enthusiastic!


    others might have abandoned chen cang and fled on their own.


    could chen cang handle it all by himself?


    definitely not!


    and this scruffy-looking uncle took the initiative to stop and assist!


    hearing chen cang¡¯s words, the uncle nodded solemnly, pressing hard on the wound. chen cang¡¯s black suit was already somewhat soaked through, blood glistening on it, and the uncle¡¯s hands quickly became stained with blood!


    how much blood was that!


    thinking of this, the uncle couldn¡¯t help but feel scared for a moment.


    at this time, chen cang was worried about something else¡ªthe patient might have internal bleeding. if it flowed back into the mouth and then blocked the airway, it could lead to suffocation!


    he needed to clear the foreign objects in the woman¡¯s mouth and then open up the airway as much as possible!


    at this moment!


    there were only two adults on the scene, plus a seven- or eight-year-old boy, staring at his mother in a pool of blood with tears welling up in his eyes, hands clasped in front of his chest, nodding, and muttering prayers for his mother.


    after clearing the oral foreign bodies, chen cang tilted the woman¡¯s head to one side and felt around the woman¡¯s body, attempting to find a mobile phone to contact her family.


    the little boy certainly couldn¡¯t be the one in charge!


    quickly, after finding the phone, chen cang asked, ¡°do you know your mom¡¯s phone password?¡±


    the boy, hearing chen cang¡¯s words, hurriedly nodded, his voice choked up as he said, ¡°mhm! i know.¡±


    taking the phone, he adeptly unlocked it and directly dialed his dad¡¯s number.


    very skilled!


    the call didn¡¯t take long to connect, and a languid voice came through, ¡°wife, what¡¯s up?¡±


    the boy suddenly burst into loud tears!


    ¡°dad, mom¡¯s almost gone! mom¡¯s almost gone! you have to come save mom quickly!¡±


    his words gave the man quite a shock!


    what did he mean by gone?


    ¡°bobo, what¡¯s wrong? did you lose your mom?¡± the man¡¯s voice was urgent and anxious.


    as the boy was about to speak, chen cang took the phone, ¡°hello! your wife has been in a traffic accident at¡­ she¡¯s been in a traffic accident, the driver fled the scene, and right now her life is in grave danger, she¡¯s bleeding profusely, and her life could be at risk any moment, we¡¯re about to take her to the second provincial hospital for emergency treatment, we need a family member to sign for her, you should hurry to the hospital. by the way, we will take your child to the hospital too!¡±


    the man was instantly stunned!


    a traffic accident!


    a hit-and-run!


    profuse bleeding!


    life in danger!


    several pieces of information formed a terrifying picture in the man¡¯s mind.


    ¡°okay, okay! doctor, please save my wife! i¡¯ll be right there.¡±


    ¡°doctor, let my son go with you to the hospital, i¡¯ll find him there!¡±


    the man¡¯s languid voice became instantly alert, and although he was in pain, he made swift and rational arrangements, getting up immediately to run outside.


    now chen cang had time to check on the other man!


    performing first aid at the scene of an accident was undoubtedly a race against time!


    time is life, and this saying was most appropriate in this situation!


    therefore, ¡°quick rescue,¡± ¡°quick save,¡± and ¡°quick transport¡± were key in determining whether the victim could sustain less disability and sequelae and were the only hope of preserving life!


    at this time, chen cang cared about every single second!


    rapid rescue operations!


    incredibly urgent!


    and at this time, the driver, mr. yang, had already organized two ambulances, beginning to coordinate the rescue efforts and heading towards the destination!


    inside the emergency department of the hospital, shi na had already begun making all sorts of preparations!


    the emergency department of the hospital learned of the incident and all preparatory work was methodically arranged!


    the operating room started an emergency green channel!


    in radiology, everything was ready for immediate examination as needed.


    and the medical affairs department also began preparing for pre-emptive resuscitation responsibilities and related tasks.


    blood loss due to a traffic accident is the most common issue, and shi na hurriedly began to contact the blood bank to ensure blood was ready for transfusions.


    a rescue effort is not the work of one person!


    it is the endeavor of a group of people.


    for the sake of a living soul, how many run back and forth!


    to be cautious, shi na directly made a call to the head of orthopedics, the deputy dean li jianwei.


    upon hearing the news, li jianwei immediately summoned the resting department staff to return to the hospital at once.


    on an early saturday morning, a sudden accident awakened many from their dreams, and what awaited them was a difficult rescue mission!


    traffic accidents are different from other incidents, the typical characteristic being their complexity!


    ¡°the injuries are complex, polytraumatic, and severe,¡±


    thus, at this time, the principle of rescue is clear!


    first save lives, then address the rest!


    if there is bleeding, the first step is to stop it, then to ensure that the airway remains clear.


    chen cang had no drugs or instruments at hand and could only do this.


    when he reached the green space, chen cang saw a young man in his twenties lying there, groaning.


    ¡°damn!¡±


    ¡°that really fucking hurts!¡±


    ¡°shit! it¡¯s killing me!¡±


    scientific research has shown that venting, indeed, can reduce pain to some extent!


    chen cang looked down and could only see the man¡¯s leg bone directly fractured in the opposite direction, as he lay there trying to turn over, struggling immensely!


    how could that not hurt?


    chen cang quickly bent down and carefully asked, ¡°how are you? other than your leg, where else does it hurt?¡±


    he dared not touch the man¡¯s leg.


    the man caught his breath and said, ¡°i don¡¯t know, it feels like everywhere hurts and yet nowhere does, hiss¡­ my leg hurts!¡±


    a fracture needed prompt attention.


    chen cang said, ¡°don¡¯t move around!¡±


    then he quickly got up and searched for some kind of splint, but there was nothing on the ground.


    with no other option, chen cang asked the driver, ¡°uncle, do you have any planks or anything like that in your car?¡±


    the driver was startled: ¡°planks¡­ no¡­ oh right, i have a little cabinet in the trunk¡­ you¡¯ll see it when you open it! smash it to see if it will work!¡±


    chen cang did not hesitate, hurriedly opened the trunk, and indeed found a small wooden cabinet inside!


    without a moment¡¯s hesitation, he smashed the box to pieces!


    he decisively took the door off the little cabinet and rushed over to the man¡¯s side.


    he told the man, ¡°bear with me for a moment!¡±


    after saying that, he began to undo his belt!


    the man was stunned, not quite understanding what was happening¡­


    chen cang explained, ¡°i¡¯m going to immobilize your leg so that there won¡¯t be secondary injuries during transport, which would complicate things!¡±


    after explaining, he began to work on the problem at hand!


    at that moment, the sound of the ambulance from the 120 emergency service rang out.


    chen cang breathed a sigh of relief.


    it had finally arrived!


    and at that time, chen cang heard the system notification sound!


    [ding! for successfully rescuing a victim who has fallen into a coma due to a car accident, you will receive a substantial reward upon successful rescue!]


    ps: the third chapter isn¡¯t finished yet, check for it in the morning¡­

 Chapter 437 - Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Pure Protection

    Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Pure Protection


    Qin Yue had planned to give Chen Cang a surprise!


    After a long preparation, dressed in very beautiful clothes, she appeared at the annual meeting as the host.


    Qin Yue felt that when Chen Cang saw her, he would surely be amazed!


    Thinking of this, Qin Yue suddenly felt very happy.


    At this moment, Zhang Youfu walked over, looked around below but didn¡¯t see Chen Cang, and was immediately stunned; he went out to check the sign-in sheet, looked through it, but still couldn¡¯t find Chen Cang!


    Did this kid oversleep?


    With this thought, he hurriedly dialed Chen Cang¡¯s phone!


    But no one answered, and at this moment, Zhang Youfu was stunned.


    This rascal, he didn¡¯t really oversleep, right?


    Zhang Youfu found Zhang Zhixin and Chen Bingsheng, and they all tried calling Chen Cang, but no one answered.


    At this point, Zhang Youfu was infuriated.


    The meeting is about to start any minute now, what is this kid doing?


    Seeing this, Qin Yue asked, ¡°Director Zhang, what happened?¡±


    Zhang Youfu said angrily, ¡°This kid Chen Cang, hasn¡¯t he gotten up yet? I¡¯ve made several calls, and no one answered!¡±


    Qin Yue was taken aback and reached for her phone. ¡°Shall I give it a try?¡±


    Qin Yue made a call, and again, no one answered.


    At this, several people were dumbfounded.


    Qin Yue said, ¡°That¡¯s not right, he contacted me this morning, he¡¯s probably on his way, maybe he didn¡¯t hear the phone ring?¡±


    Zhang Youfu was sweating with anxiety.


    After all, today¡¯s annual meeting, the director of 301 and the vice-chairman of the National Hepatobiliary Surgery Society, Zhou Hongguang, came specifically for Chen Cang.


    If Chen Cang didn¡¯t show up, wouldn¡¯t that be blatantly blowing someone off!


    At this time, Qian Liang also came over, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Director Zhang, why the urgency?¡±


    Zhang Youfu said, ¡°Young Chen hasn¡¯t arrived yet.¡±


    Qian Liang was stunned, looked at his watch, ¡°Isn¡¯t there still time? Let¡¯s wait a bit longer.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When Chen Cang saw the system task, he was immediately taken aback!


    Without hesitation, he chose to accept it.


    As for the director of the Hepatobiliary Surgery Society¡­


    Forget it.


    Chen Cang looked down at the woman, sighed, and thought to himself, saving a life is what¡¯s important!


    At this moment, on the 120 ambulance, four or five people were pushing a stretcher and sprinting over with an emergency kit in tow!


    And at this time, the police had not yet arrived!


    Xiaolin held the box, Lele carried the bed, and after they arrived, Chen Cang quickly signaled for the woman to get on the stretcher, lifting her carefully and securing the cervical spine.


    Chen Cang urged, ¡°Get in the ambulance first!¡±


    After saying that, he and Lele carried her up to the ambulance with the help of Master Lao Yang.


    At this time, on the other side, several doctors who followed, including the orthopedic specialist Zhang Xueliang, moved the man onto another ambulance.


    Compared to the man who at most had fractures, the woman¡­ her life might be in danger!


    They needed to get her to the hospital as quickly as possible.


    Chen Cang turned to Xiaolin, ¡°Xiaolin, take care of this child, he¡¯s a family member, bring him to the hospital first.¡±


    Having said that, he and Lele, with the help of Master Lao Yang, loaded her into the ambulance and quickly connected the cardiac monitor.


    After connecting the monitor, Chen Cang¡¯s face turned pale!


    Her blood pressure was only just below 70 at this moment!


    And her breathing was getting faster and faster.


    These weren¡¯t good signs.


    Could there be a hemothorax?


    This was now a concern that had to be addressed.


    Because blunt trauma from a car accident like this could cause diaphragmatic rupture, when the diaphragm ruptures, a large amount of bleeding from within the abdominal cavity can surge into the chest cavity, causing a significant hemothorax, compressing the lungs, and posing a life-threatening condition.


    At this moment, Chen Cang was increasingly worried about the patient¡¯s vital signs!


    At that moment, the little boy was shivering with nerves, not knowing if he was scared, or¡­


    He held his mother¡¯s right hand with both of his, gingerly pinching it, afraid of pinching too hard and breaking it.


    His mother lay with her eyes closed, instilling in him a sense of fear!


    He wanted to cry but dared not!


    His father had said that when his father wasn¡¯t around, he was the little man who had to protect his mother.


    At seven years old, a child was just starting to explore the world, yet he now had a vague understanding of it.


    He knew he had to use his little body to protect his mom, just like in the cartoons!


    But¡­ he didn¡¯t know what to do.


    Inside his tiny frame, he felt utterly lost.


    He had watched TV dramas and knew¡­ car accidents could be deadly.


    His eyes were fixed on the complex lines on the electrocardiogram monitor.


    Watching the numbers that continued to jump.


    Listening to the uncle in front of him constantly speaking words of responsibility.


    Watching the aunties inject some sort of medicines into his mother¡¯s body¡­


    For the first time, he became aware of these people in white robes, these uncles and aunties¡­


    The patient¡¯s vital signs were very unstable, the blood loss was too great, and if they didn¡¯t replenish the fluids in time, there would be problems.


    Moreover, the large amount of blood in her chest had to be drained through puncturing, or else her respiratory function would not be restored.


    Inside the ambulance, all four people were busy!


    Chen Cang made a decision with gritted teeth; they had to puncture first!


    Otherwise, there would be serious issues.


    He turned around and said to Xiao Lin, ¡°Give me the puncture kit!¡±


    Xiao Lin immediately nodded.


    The puncture needle, connected to the drainage bag, and with the driver Lao Yang¡¯s steady driving, Chen Cang¡¯s hands were even steadier.


    Soon, the puncture was successful!


    And the blood flowed through the drainage tube into the drainage bag.


    The patient¡¯s breathing rate finally decreased.


    But¡­ this did not mean that the patient¡¯s body had returned to normal.


    At that moment, there were still many greater dangers waiting for Chen Cang and the team.


    The little boy, seeing the blood flow into the bag, was suddenly taken aback and slumped to the floor in a sit.


    He quickly scrambled back up.


    He was both scared and worried.


    He hurriedly looked up at the ¡°TV¡± above, watching the numbers jump and the complex lines move.


    Soon, they arrived at the hospital!


    Chen Cang and Lele quickly organized to transfer the patient for an abdominal examination; after completing the examinations, they immediately began the resuscitation surgery.


    The blood had already been drawn, and the laboratory department immediately began the tests.


    And the blood for transfusion was already waiting on the side, ready to replenish fresh blood at any moment.


    The little boy was led by Xiao Lin to the side.


    Xiao Lin comforted him, ¡°Don¡¯t be scared!¡±


    The little boy nodded without making a sound.


    Xiao Lin recalled how the little boy hadn¡¯t looked around during the ride, just stared intently at the screen of the electrocardiogram monitor.


    He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°That TV in the car you were watching earlier, did you understand it?¡±


    The little boy said with a choked voice, ¡°I don¡¯t understand¡­¡±


    ¡°But I saw on television that if that line becomes straight, and those numbers turn to 0, mom would be gone¡­ I have to watch it¡­ not let it disappear¡­¡±


    After finishing his sentence, he couldn¡¯t hold back and burst into tears!


    Xiao Lin¡¯s heart softened as well.


    Was this not the purest form of a naive little boy¡¯s protection for his mother!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: For now, this is the third update; we will continue tomorrow.

 Chapter 438 - Chapter 438: Chapter 438: This is a tough battle!

    Chapter 438: Chapter 438: This is a tough battle!


    Sun Xiangchen¡¯s heart was racing with urgency, and he didn¡¯t have time to pack much¡ªhe just grabbed his bank card, ID, cell phone, and medical insurance card and hurried out the door!


    It was supposed to be a beautiful Saturday morning, but this sudden bad news was hard for him to accept!


    How could a perfectly healthy person just get into a car accident?


    As Sun Xiangchen came downstairs ready to drive, he realized¡ªhe wasn¡¯t in any state to operate a car, was he?


    He quickly ran outside the residential area and frantically hailed a taxi to rush to the emergency room at the Second Provincial Hospital!


    The little boy stood at the nurse¡¯s station, not going anywhere, just staring blankly. He was neither crying nor making a fuss, instead, like he had seen in TV dramas, he put his palms together in front of his chest.


    The images from the car accident scene kept flashing through his mind, lingering on and on.


    For a child of merely seven years old, this frightening scene was undoubtedly the greatest pain in his life.


    If his mother were alright, everything would be fine¡­


    But what if she¡¯s not? That might become the most terrifying nightmare of the boy¡¯s life, with no exaggeration!


    As Sun Xiangchen ran into the emergency room, he saw the boy standing there with his palms together in front of his chest, silently mouthing prayers for ¡°Amitabha¡± and ¡°May the Bodhisattva bless her¡± that he saw in ¡°Journey to the West.¡±


    In his view, this was the greatest thing he could do¡ªbless and pray.


    Sun Xiangchen was startled to see his son covered in blood on his body, hands, and pale face!


    He dashed over and scooped the child into his arms!


    ¡°Bobo, are you alright?¡±


    Seeing his father, the little boy suddenly burst into tears, his eyes streaming uncontrollably.


    ¡°Dad! You¡¯re finally here¡­ Go save Mom! She¡¯s dying¡­¡±


    Sun Xiangchen¡¯s nose tingled, and he couldn¡¯t hold back his tears either.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, Bobo. Mom is being rescued by the doctors; don¡¯t worry, she¡¯s just asleep, and she¡¯ll be fine soon!¡± Sun Xiangchen hugged his child tightly, consoling him with all his might.


    The little boy cried and said, ¡°I prayed to Guanyin and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven¡­ Why haven¡¯t they appeared yet¡­ Mom is a good person, she¡¯s a teacher, why don¡¯t they come save her¡­¡±


    The cries of the little boy made even the patients in the emergency room tremble with emotion.


    Sun Xiangchen patted his son firmly, ¡°Child, these doctors, are all like Guanyin and the Great Sage transformed into doctors, you be good, and Dad will go help the doctors save Mom!¡±


    He wiped away the tears from his son¡¯s face but couldn¡¯t rub off the dried blood.


    At that moment, seeing the situation, Xiao Lin said, ¡°Let¡¯s leave the child at the nurse¡¯s station for now, you go and handle the procedures. The patient has been taken for a check-up and is being prepared for emergency treatment, don¡¯t wander off.¡±


    After speaking, Xiao Lin had an intern nurse take the boy to the adjacent treatment room to clean up.


    Sun Xiangchen wiped his eyes and sniffled, ¡°Thank you!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    This car accident rescue was extremely urgent; Li Baoshan and Tao Zi had already arrived at the hospital.


    Li Jianwei had already organized the orthopedic rescue team to examine and save the injured man!


    After the examination, the man¡¯s situation turned out to be a fortunate mishap. He had only a fracture in his lower limb, and although the impact caused a severe fracture¡­ there was currently no risk of life-threatening injuries, and the goal now was to ensure that his leg could be preserved!


    At this moment, the woman was still in a critical period.


    The laboratory had just released the blood test results, and the patient was immediately given a blood transfusion!


    It¡¯s important to know that the spleen is an organ with extremely rich blood circulation in the human body and is also the largest lymphoid organ directly connected to the blood circulation!


    It¡¯s structurally similar to sponge-like tissue, normally storing blood, and when the body urgently needs it, the spleen contracts and releases blood, thereby adjusting the volume of circulating blood.


    Therefore, a ruptured spleen can cause fatal hemorrhaging!


    It¡¯s very easy to experience hemorrhagic shock due to massive blood loss within a short period!


    Chen Cang was extremely concerned in his heart.


    The rate of blood transfusion couldn¡¯t keep up with the rate of bleeding, which was lifethreatening.


    This trauma location¡­ it involved the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava!


    ¡°`


    If these two things really had issues, lives would be lost.


    At this moment, Chen Cang could only pray.


    It wasn¡¯t that Chen Cang was reluctant to start the surgery to stop the bleeding immediately, but considering the numerous injuries from the car accident, comprehensive pre-surgical preparations had to be made.


    For open abdominal injuries, imaging studies are generally not conducted, but the patient¡¯s condition was truly exceptional at this time, and since the vital signs were still relatively stable for the moment.


    To ensure the smooth progress of the surgery, they still did it!


    After the results came out.


    Chen Cang and the radiologists all frowned deeply!


    It was too serious.


    This surgery would require several people to perform at the same time.


    The diaphragm in the chest cavity was torn, and through the imaging, one could clearly see blood within the chest cavity. Most importantly, possibly due to the impact, the patient¡¯s intestines had entered the chest cavity!


    Diaphragmatic hernia within the chest cavity!


    Next was the damage to the diaphragm, which needed to be sutured and repaired.


    The spleen was ruptured, without a doubt!


    Other¡­ The reason for the massive bleeding inside the abdomen due to traumatic injuries required a laparotomy for a detailed examination; the whole operation was extremely critical.


    It had to be carried out immediately!


    Chen Cang hurriedly led the nurses toward the operating room.


    At this time, Li Baoshan, Tao Zi, and others had already put on their surgical gowns and were ready to step in.


    After the patient was moved into the operating room, Li Baoshan and the others were there.


    Chen Cang felt reassured!


    On his own, Chen Cang was not confident now!


    The volume and difficulty of this surgery might be the greatest and most challenging Chen Cang had ever witnessed.


    If it were just up to him alone, it simply wouldn¡¯t be possible to complete it.


    Diaphragm injury, herniation of the intestinal tract, spleen rupture, intestinal damage, intra-abdominal infection, major vascular injury?¡­


    Wait, this was a major rescue operation!


    Li Baoshan, with his extensive experience, saw the worried look in Chen Cang¡¯s eyes and signaled him to relax a bit.


    This would be a battle of endurance!


    Li Baoshan said to Chen Cang,


    ¡°Open up a vein, intraoperative transfusion is definitely unavoidable.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    Under Li Baoshan¡¯s orderly organization, Chen Cang, Tao Zi, and the team began this life-saving surgery.


    The abdominal wall was opened layer by layer.


    Before the exploratory laparotomy, thorough debridement had to be done without damaging the organs. With such an open injury already causing some destruction, the only good news was that no foreign object had entered; otherwise, the difficulty would have been even greater.


    The debridement continued, and it was uncertain how many bags of saline were used.


    Gauze had already piled up into a mountain at one side.


    Finally, a relatively clean peritoneal cavity was presented before everyone!


    At this moment, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were filled with red tags!


    [Spleen Rupture], [Damaged Blood Vessels], [Injured Intestines]¡­


    When a group of red tags appeared before everyone, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh. This¡­ was going to be a tough fight!


    It wasn¡¯t just Chen Cang who felt this way, Tao Zi and Li Baoshan also had their brows tightly furrowed!


    ¡°`

 Chapter 439 - Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Witnessing Miracles, Creating the Impossible!

    Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Witnessing Miracles, Creating the Impossible!


    ¡°`


    ¡°First, stop the bleeding!¡±


    Li Baoshan issued the order decisively.


    Tao Zi turned around to grab the hemostatic forceps and ligated the actively bleeding vessel directly.


    Then Chen Cang didn¡¯t hesitate either!


    Suturing!


    Chen Cang¡¯s vascular suturing technique was witnessed by all and highly trusted, so Li Baoshan and Tao Zi didn¡¯t have anything more to say.


    The hemostasis became the vanguard of this operation.


    Li Baoshan carefully probed the abdomen, Tao Zi prepared for positioning and ligating, while Chen Cang provided tight and fast suturing!


    Soon, the work of stopping the bleeding was carried out in an orderly fashion.


    However, as Li Baoshan moved the spleen, blood from the splenic artery sprayed out suddenly.


    Tao Zi reacted swiftly, clamping it down in one go!


    At this point, a choice presented itself before everyone.


    What should be done with the spleen?


    Li Baoshan hesitated a bit, ¡°Should we remove it completely?¡±


    Tao Zi was somewhat anxious, ¡°Could we preserve some¡­ She¡¯s still young¡­¡±


    Li Baoshan fell silent as well!


    But at this time, a decision had to be made.


    Chen Cang spoke up, ¡°Let¡¯s suture the splenic artery first!¡±


    The two looked at Chen Cang, then nodded with a meaning-laden glance.


    The spleen is the ultimate immune and hematopoietic organ in the human body. During fetal development, the spleen is very active in hematopoiesis, and even after reaching adulthood, when the spleen retires and the bone marrow takes over the task of blood cell production.


    However, the spleen still has the function of producing lymphocytes and monocytes!


    More importantly, modern research has shown that the spleen can still produce red blood cells in conditions of significant blood loss or when bone marrow functions are impaired!


    This makes it one of the most important organs in the human body.


    Perhaps not everyone is clear about what lymphocytes and monocytes are.


    To give an example, lymphocytes and monocytes are like the body¡¯s police and soldiers, fighting external enemies, killing internal bad elements, and participating in the body¡¯s defense.


    Therefore, once the spleen is removed, one can imagine the state the body will fall into!


    That¡¯s why there is an advocacy for preserving the spleen as much as possible when it¡¯s ruptured.


    However, no matter how much it¡¯s preserved, necrotic tissue definitely has to be removed.


    Now, with the splenic artery also injured, suturing must be completed as soon as possible.


    But the location of the splenic artery is very special; trying to suture with a needle holder is difficult due to the tricky angle, and there¡¯s a risk of damaging surrounding tissues and organs.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, held his breath and focused, glanced at Tao Zi, and without another word, they began the work of ligating and suturing.


    Maybe each second saved might reduce some of the spleen¡¯s necrosis?


    Chen Cang¡¯s suturing once again astounded the two senior directors!


    Chen Cang¡¯s mastery of the needle was as skilled and familiar as his own hands.


    The splenic artery was not thick, but suturing was very difficult. It required maintaining a thread¡¯s thickness for suture spacing, remaining steady, and without damaging the vascular endothelium, to prevent late vascular wall injuries.


    Time trickled away, second by second.


    One minute later, the suturing was complete!


    Next, they faced the surgery of the spleen.


    How to decide!


    Splenic repair or splenectomy, this became the most critical question.


    Splenic suturing is not difficult!


    But removing the spleen is of profound significance.


    The lower pole of the spleen had sustained a transverse rupture injury, and the small blood vessels had already torn; suturing was impossible, and the distal part of the spleen had developed a blood supply problem.


    Li Baoshan hesitated for a moment, ¡°Let¡¯s remove it!¡±


    Tao Zi nodded!


    But at that moment, Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Can we anastomose the small vessels? After all¡­ his injury is still very recent, and due to the collateral circulation and the function of the small vessels still being present, we¡­ might be able to try preserving the spleen.¡±


    Indeed!


    Just as Tao Zi said, she¡¯s still young.


    If the spleen were removed, it would be like being left with only half a person.


    For a time, the decision was difficult to make.


    Chen Cang looked at the two, ¡°I can properly suture the small vessels! Leave it to me!¡±


    Li Baoshan was surprised, ¡°Hasn¡¯t it necrotized yet?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Not yet!¡±


    ¡°`


    His eyes could see clearly¡ªif the spleen had necrosed, he would have been able to see it.


    But at that moment, the spleen was still yellowish, not red.


    This meant that it could be saved!


    However, the small blood vessels were too intricate; to suture them would be enormously difficult.


    The violent impact had left the already fragile spleen somewhat shattered.


    What did it mean to carry out such a high-volume repair!


    The key question was, could Chen Cang succeed?


    It required profound knowledge of the spleen¡¯s vascular system to do it properly!


    And it called for the most sophisticated vascular suturing technique!


    Nothing could be missed!


    Li Baoshan observed carefully and after considering the patient¡¯s condition comprehensively, he looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen¡­ can you do it?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded!


    ¡°I can do it!¡±


    He didn¡¯t say he¡¯d try; he outright said he could do it.


    Tao Zi glanced at Chen Cang and said to Li Baoshan, ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try!¡±


    Li Baoshan also looked up at Chen Cang, filled with hope, ¡°Good! Go for it!¡±


    Why wouldn¡¯t he wish to give the patient a healthy body?


    But¡­ at times like this, besides encouragement, he didn¡¯t know what else to say.


    Because to do this job well, the volume of work was large, the workload was even larger, and the degree of precision was immense.


    First, you had to have a thorough understanding of the blood vessel distribution in the spleen.


    As luck would have it, Chen Cang certainly understood it very well!


    He immediately opened the special training on ¡°Human Blood Circulation¡± and studied the spleen¡¯s vascular region in detail¡­ He didn¡¯t know how long it had been.


    When he once again turned to look at the spleen, the blood vessel distribution pattern had already emerged in Chen Cang¡¯s mind.


    The branching blood vessels, in Chen Cang¡¯s eyes, were categorized and orderly like branches and twigs.


    Perhaps!


    He really might be able to do it.


    And at that moment, the head of the anesthesiology department also began to closely monitor the patient¡¯s vital signs.


    Everyone was doing their utmost to create a favorable condition for Chen Cang!


    They were all waiting for Chen Cang to undertake a task that seemed ¡°impossible.¡±


    They had never even considered performing such a procedure.


    After all, removing the spleen was, to the medical staff, also a rescue success.


    Even though it could potentially have a significant impact on the patient¡¯s recovery later on and cause a lot of inconveniences, but¡­ that was the limit of medical technology.


    But this time, Chen Cang decided to make his best effort to give the woman a healthy body, and a relatively healthy spleen!


    Thinking of the little boy¡¯s hopeful gaze, Chen Cang felt he needed to try his hardest, to save this family.


    Chen Cang put on the microscope and kept adjusting the magnification; his suturing threads and needles were continually being replaced.


    Time was ticking away.


    This ticking was the patient¡¯s life!


    Chen Cang¡¯s phone had been thrown into the storage room and it rang over and over.


    The patient¡¯s small blood vessels, under Chen Cang¡¯s earnest effort, one stitch after another, another and another!


    There were many vessels, but Chen Cang didn¡¯t mind; he repaired as many as he could, providing the spleen with good nutrition for recovery, preparing for the subsequent rehabilitation!


    Watching Chen Cang¡¯s meticulous operation, Li Baoshan and Tao Zi exchanged glances!


    They couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    After an indeterminate amount of time, when Chen Cang felt his back go numb without sensation, he finally breathed a sigh of relief!


    It was sutured!


    He had forgotten how many small blood vessels he had sutured.


    But he had succeeded.


    Everyone looked at Chen Cang, their eyes filled with shock.


    Chen Cang had really done it¡­


    Li Baoshan had removed spleens all his life, had performed so many surgeries like this, but today, he witnessed a miracle of spleen rescue with his own eyes.


    The complexity of his inner feelings was beyond words!


    ¡­


    ps: Thanks to the friend ¡°First Love as Dazzling as Summer Flowers¡± for the 10,000 reward, thank you!


    And to ¡°xianzhea¡± friend as well for the 10,000 reward!

 Chapter 440 - Chapter 440: Chapter 440: What Kind of Monster Is It!

    Chapter 440: Chapter 440: What Kind of Monster Is It!


    ¡°`


    The chief anesthetist was honestly a bit shocked, that someone could stitch up the small vessels of the spleen so meticulously¡ªit truly was not just a skill!


    It was a matter of responsibility and conviction!


    Having been an anesthetist for so many years, this was his first time seeing a doctor who would suture the small vessels of the spleen.


    Setting aside the technical aspect, let¡¯s not even start on how many are willing to do the suturing!


    A ruptured spleen requires good blood supply in order to recover.


    Splenectomy and spleen repair are both surgeries aimed at treating a ruptured spleen!


    Those that can be repaired, undergo repair.


    Those that cannot be repaired or have necrosis, undergo removal.


    The ones that cannot be repaired are precisely due to ischemic necrosis.


    So, what Chen Cang was doing at this very moment for the patient¡¯s spleen, keeping even the slightest part intact, would greatly benefit the patient¡¯s future health.


    The complexity of the blood vessel patterns and the twisted spleen tissue, all added to the difficulty of the surgery!


    Thank goodness it was Chen Cang!


    Perhaps anyone else would have bid farewell to those ruptured, damaged spleens.


    Because suturing the vessels increases the risk of the surgery!


    Just this one simple sentence deterred many.


    Difficult? Truly difficult!


    Tiring? How could it not be?


    With a microscope, how long can fine work like this be continued?


    But thinking of that wailing child, Chen Cang felt it was all worth it.


    It is precisely for this reason that they looked on with admiration.


    The goal was to preserve the spleen¡¯s anatomy and function as much as possible.


    The actions of Chen Cang were based on a variety of conditions.


    Suturing small vessels of the spleen, in the eyes of some, might seem meaningless, but if it saves the spleen even slightly more, for the patient, that represents a guarantee of quality of life.


    Li Baoshan, watching Chen Cang repair the vessels, had admiration clearly written in his eyes!


    Tao Zi was also somewhat excited.


    Their excitement and thrill were not at how amazing Chen Cang was, but at the additional assurance it provided for the patient¡¯s recovery.


    Chen Cang laid down the suture needle and said to Li Baoshan, ¡°Let me do the removal.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m very familiar with the patient¡¯s spleen; I know where to cut and where not to.


    Li Baoshan looked into Chen Cang¡¯s eyes, which were filled with resolve. He didn¡¯t refuse but still cautioned, ¡°Be careful!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded!


    He turned and picked up the scalpel.


    After the spleen ruptures, not all areas can be repaired by suturing the vessels because of the spleen¡¯s anatomical structure. Although the hilum and center have rich blood supply, the periphery of the spleen still needs to be continually removed!


    Chen Cang very carefully brought the spleen up to the outside of the incision!


    His eyes were like a scanner, continuously scanning the spleen, seeking the necrotic spleen tissue.


    Chen Cang had the skill of spleen removal!


    But its level was only basic.


    Without any hesitation, he spent skill points to upgrade to master level!


    Chen Cang had nearly 30 skill points and spent 6 points to raise it directly to the master level.


    Chen Cang had to be extremely careful, as any small error could cause damage to the spleen and the surrounding tissues.


    The main danger of spleen removal is a major hemorrhage during surgery, and at this point, due to congestion and swelling, the spleen had increased in size, its tissue was fragile, and exposure was poor; therefore, Chen Cang had to lift the spleen out of the incision.


    Fortunately, the stalk connecting the spleen was quite long; otherwise, there would have been another hassle.


    Li Baoshan and Tao Zi watched Chen Cang with great attention, fearing any mishap, but the spleen faced a bit of obstruction due to the congested stalk and adhesions from the significant bleeding.


    ¡°`


    But the hilum of the spleen mustn¡¯t be torn!


    Otherwise, it would cause massive bleeding again!


    In a way, the entire spleen was like a soup dumpling with a thin skin and lots of filling, but now the thin outer layer was already somewhat necrotic. It was necessary to remove the necrotic tissue, but it had to be done carefully to avoid causing heavy bleeding!


    This required highly delicate and subtle maneuvers.


    Caution!


    Carefulness!


    That¡¯s why Li Baoshan had the peace of mind to let Chen Cang do the surgery, because he knew that Chen Cang¡¯s hands were incredibly steady.


    Chen Cang held the scalpel, bit by bit excising the areas of the perimeter that appeared blackish-red in his vision.


    The process had everyone in the operating room feeling anxious and tense!


    The two directors standing by Chen Cang¡¯s side didn¡¯t dare to let out a loud breath.


    Time, once more, was consumed with caution


    Nearly two hours had passed since the surgery began.


    The two hours of meticulous operation that Chen Cang performed was impressive to anyone watching.


    After the removal, blood vessel ligation was needed, for which Tao Zi had to assist.


    Chen Cang excised while Tao Zi ligated. The two of them complemented each other well, and the surgery progressed quickly!


    Finally, the spleen removal was complete, and it was time for suturing.


    Chen Cang was indeed tired by now, his bent-over posture numbing his back and waist. After putting down the scalpel, he twisted his body. He didn¡¯t immediately use the recovery ability from Bai Qiuen¡¯s surgical gown ties as this emergency rescue could still last a while.


    Seeing this, Li Baoshan said, ¡°Let me do it.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t refuse.


    Li Baoshan had performed several hundred spleen sutures without any surprises.


    After dealing with the spleen, it was necessary to repair the other organs and tissues within the abdominal cavity.


    Bowel anastomosis became the next task.


    At this moment, Li Baoshan suddenly put down the sutures he was holding, looking at Chen Cang with some hesitation¡­


    After all, he had seen Chen Cang¡¯s bowel sutures, which were very well done.


    Thinking this, Li Baoshan couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, mocking himself internally.


    As a director, when had he learned to push responsibilities onto the younger generation?


    He, Li Baoshan, one of the Emergency Four of Dongyang Province, was not usually like this.


    It was all because this kid was simply too outstanding.


    Upon this thought, Li Baoshan couldn¡¯t help but smile, radiating a sense of confidence.


    Right at this moment, the situation inside the abdominal cavity was anything but reassuring; the intestines were disordered, some parts even protruding into the chest cavity!


    The diaphragm was ruptured!


    At that time, Li Baoshan¡¯s heart sank. Bad news¡ªthe diaphragm and intestines needed to be repaired simultaneously, and he was not skilled at repairing the diaphragm.


    What should be done?


    And in that moment, after resting for more than half an hour and regaining some strength, Chen Cang took the initiative and said, ¡°Director, I¡¯ll repair the diaphragm while you repair the intestines. How does that sound?¡±


    At Chen Cang¡¯s words, something clicked inside Li Baoshan: ¡°You know how to repair the diaphragm too?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Yep! I do.¡±


    Tao Zi and the anesthesia department director who were standing aside were already dumbfounded.


    This kid¡­is he really just a resident?


    If Chen Cang claimed he was a director, they would have no choice but to believe him. Except for having more hair than a director might typically have, lacking nothing in terms of demeanor.


    Moreover, this resident was quite formidable!


    He knew how to do everything: spleen repair, pericardial surgery, vascular suturing, and, unexpectedly, even diaphragm repair!


    What kind of monster was this!?

 Chapter 441 - Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Nothing is more exciting than regaining what was lost!

    Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Nothing is more exciting than regaining what was lost!


    Up to now!


    The surgery had actually completed less than one-third!


    There was still a lot of work waiting for them.


    Actually, acute traumatic diaphragm injury along with intra-abdominal injuries should be treated with simultaneous abdominal diaphragm repair surgery and injured organ management.


    However, because diaphragm rupture and herniation do not pose an immediate threat to life, the focus remains on addressing the urgent massive intra-abdominal hemorrhage first.


    Once all life-threatening factors had been dealt with, it was time for intestinal anastomosis. Not being particularly urgent, the abdominal and thoracic surgeries were conducted concurrently.


    Originally, the surgery could be performed through the abdominal cavity, but Chen Cang suspected there were injuries to the internal organs and blood vessels within the chest cavity, necessitating a thoracic exploration.


    Therefore, another incision had to be made in the chest, to handle it through the thoracic cavity!


    At this moment, both surgeries were in progress simultaneously!


    For convenience, Head Nurse Li Ying directly dispatched additional nursing staff and equipment specifically to assist Chen Cang.


    By then, Li Baoshan had already managed the damaged abdominal organs and repositioned those that had entered the chest cavity back to their original place.


    At this time, Chen Cang, holding a scalpel, entered the thoracic cavity through the sixth rib position.


    As expected, due to the blood and injury, the organs inside the chest cavity were now adhered to the lungs, chest wall, and diaphragm.


    No wonder it was affecting breathing!


    After carefully separating the adhesions, Chen Cang began to wash out the thoracic cavity, injecting antibiotics to prevent infection.


    Next, he started to suture the diaphragm!


    Fortunately, as the patient¡¯s diaphragm had ruptured only shortly before, a simple approximating suture technique was adequate.


    Meanwhile, the anesthetist kept a vigilant eye on the patient¡¯s vital signs, fearing any unforeseen events.


    Fortunately, the patient¡¯s vital signs were now stable.


    The hemorrhagic shock caused by the massive blood loss was gradually recovering, with normal blood pressure, normal heartbeat, heart rate¡­ The patient¡¯s vital signs were very normal!


    Even the breathing was becoming increasingly stable!


    This allowed everyone in the operating room to breathe a sigh of relief.


    Chen Cang looked up at the nurse and noticed that the gaze of about a dozen people in the operating room was fixed on him!


    He was momentarily taken aback!


    Am I that good-looking?


    Chen Cang sighed and said to the nurse,


    ¡°Number 6 silk thread.¡±


    The nurse immediately passed it over.


    Chen Cang was quite skilled at repairing and suturing the diaphragm¡ªafter all, master-level skills were no joking matter.


    The repair of the diaphragm was focused on solidity, which required meticulous suturing.


    The onlookers were struck by the beauty of Chen Cang¡¯s suturing technique!


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Li Baoshan was also in good shape!


    He felt it had been a long time since he had been in such a state, and the intestinal repair work was going very smoothly.


    The needle and thread in his hands were incredibly fluid, which left Li Baoshan feeling elated!


    Unexpectedly, it was little Chen who had ignited his inner cosmos!


    Thinking about this, Li Baoshan decided to consider taking Chen Cang along more often when planning surgeries in the future.


    ¡­


    Soon, after Li Baoshan completed the final surgical knot, he looked up at the nurse, ready for the scissors.


    But at this moment, he realized¡­ the focus of the entire room was not on him; everyone was staring at Chen Cang!


    Even Tao Zi, who had just been assisting him, had run over to Chen Cang¡¯s side.


    This left Li Baoshan utterly baffled¡­


    If I remember correctly¡­ I am the Chief, right?


    But from the looks of things in the operating room¡­ could it be that I remembered incorrectly?


    Resigned!


    Sigh¡­


    Li Baoshan had no choice but to fend for himself, cutting the suture short and starting the next steps of inspection.


    There were still some scattered bleeding points inside the chest cavity.


    But under Chen Cang¡¯s watchful eyes, they had nowhere to hide!


    The spectators on the side couldn¡¯t help being full of excitement.


    ¡­


    The surgery had been going on for about five hours now.


    It was past one in the afternoon, having started at eight in the morning.


    At this moment, the door of the operating room opened.


    Li Jianwei walked in.


    Looking at Li Baoshan, he asked, ¡°Baoshan, how is the patient doing?¡±


    Li Baoshan felt a surge of joy inside, finally someone was talking to him.


    It didn¡¯t really matter whether he was tired, the main thing was that someone cared¡­


    Li Baoshan said, ¡°Fortunately, we acted in time, the vital signs are relatively stable now, and there shouldn¡¯t be too much risk anymore. But for the hip surgery coming up, we¡¯ll need you.¡±


    Indeed, following the car accident, the patient had several broken ribs and a fractured hip bone.


    ¡°Have you finished with your previous operation? How¡¯s that patient?¡±


    Li Jianwei replied indifferently, ¡°We saved the leg, let¡¯s see how the recovery goes. I¡¯ll go change first.¡±


    Li Jianwei had also been performing surgery for five hours, yet there was no time to rest. After washing his hands, he put on fresh surgical clothing and prepared himself at the side.


    Wasn¡¯t it called a marathon for a reason?


    By estimation, after finishing this operation, it would likely be four or five in the afternoon.


    Chen Cang finished dealing with all the bleeding points inside the chest cavity and directly sutured it up.


    Li Jianwei glanced at Chen Cang and nodded his approval, not saying much. Meanwhile, the patient who had just finished the previous operation was brought here to start the second procedure.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    As time ticked by second after second, the orthopedic surgery went smoothly. Under Li Jianwei¡¯s leadership, everyone finally managed to deal with the last of the injuries!


    When they looked up at the clock again, it was already four in the afternoon.


    By that time, a collective sigh of relief was unavoidable!


    It was done!


    Everyone in the room had been standing all day long!


    From eight in the morning until four in the afternoon.


    Without a drop of water or a grain of rice.


    However, everyone was in high spirits.


    Because their efforts were not in vain.


    Smiles were on everyone¡¯s faces.


    Nothing gave a greater sense of achievement than saving lives.


    Just at that moment, the woman suddenly woke up. Groggy, she opened her eyes and suddenly found more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at her.


    Immediately, tears fell!


    Seeing the people around her, all dressed in white and wearing masks, tears streamed down the woman¡¯s face.


    Then, she realized that she was not dead!


    She had been rescued.


    At the onset of her injury, when she had first lost consciousness, she could actually feel, even hear her child crying by her ear, feeling someone pressing on her bleeding wounds¡­


    But she was powerless, unable to react in any way!


    She had thought she was going to die.


    The only things she couldn¡¯t bear to leave behind were her son and her beloved husband.


    At that time, the woman¡¯s heart had no strength left for any struggle.


    All she could do was pray silently: I hope in the next life, I can work like an ox or horse, to repay the love I owe you¡­


    To her surprise, she had survived.


    This feeling was almost as if she had been given a second life.


    Fortunate!


    Nothing was more joyous than regaining what was lost!


    And nothing was more precious than life itself!


    The woman looked at the people around her, wanting to say thank you, but when she opened her mouth, not a single word came out.


    She could only try to show a smile.


    After seeing this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but smile as well.

 Chapter 442 - Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Youve celebrated too soon.

    Chapter 442: Chapter 442: You¡¯ve celebrated too soon.


    Sun Xiangchen sat there, with the child sitting beside him in another chair.


    The two of them just waited outside the operating room, hoping for a miracle!


    They had just seen a man from a similar car accident come out; the doctors said the surgery was very successful, and his leg was saved!


    The family cried with joy as they pushed him back to the ward.


    Meanwhile, the little boy was also hoping, wishing his mother would be just as lucky!


    The longer the time dragged on, the more anxious the pair became!


    They hadn¡¯t touched the bread they bought at noon, but they drank two or three bottles of water.


    Sun Xiangchen thought about a lot, clutching his hands tightly, feeling restless.


    He shook his head, trying to clear those terrifying thoughts from his mind, but the fear lingered on.


    He admitted, he was scared.


    His hands trembled slightly.


    At that moment, he felt a pair of warm hands grasp his clenched fist.


    Turning his head, he saw his son staring at him with wide eyes, resolute, ¡°Daddy, Mommy will be fine! Really!¡±


    The boy¡¯s childish words made Sun Xiangchen¡¯s nose tingle, his eyes brimming with tears, but he quickly took a deep breath, lifted his head, and blinked, not letting the tears flow, not letting his child see his weakness¡­


    Just then, his son said, ¡°Daddy, even if Mommy is no longer here, I will take good care of you¡­¡±


    This innocent child was thinking ahead, trying to act like an adult, mimicking his mother¡¯s tone, seriously uttering each word.


    Although tears were already streaming into his mouth, his gaze remained unwaveringly firm.


    And that made the thirty-something Sun Xiangchen hold his child and cry out loud.


    Who would have thought that the usually mischievous son could say such heartwarming words.


    But Sun Xiangchen would rather see him carefree and mischievous than looking like a little adult.


    The normally strong Sun Xiangchen cried messily, his voice breaking.


    When the clock hanging on the wall struck 5 PM, the door suddenly opened.


    The father and son quickly got up and hurried over.


    ¡°Doctor, doctor! How is my wife?¡±


    ¡°Uncle, mister, how is my mom¡­?¡±


    Seeing their eager eyes, everyone smiled.


    Li Baoshan said, ¡°The surgery was very successful, you can rest easy now.¡±


    With that single sentence, Sun Xiangchen¡¯s heart trembled!


    He hugged Li Baoshan, ¡°Thank you, doctor!¡±


    And the little grown-up Bobo also bowed, ¡°Thank you, uncle!¡±


    Li Baoshan patted Sun Xiangchen¡¯s back, ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine, go to the hospital bed now, the patient has been taken to the ward.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After returning to the ward, the patient had to be taken to the ICU for further observation; after all, two-thirds of her blood had been replaced, and there was concern about subsequent reactions and a lot of organ repair to deal with; there were many more issues ahead!


    However, to allow her to see her husband and son first, she was temporarily placed in the observation room.


    After Sun Xiangchen and his child rushed in, the family finally reunited.


    Sun Xiangchen didn¡¯t dare to touch his wife; considering she was covered with wounds, the thought alone filled him with immense heartache.


    At this moment, the child stood aside, looking at his mother.


    He suddenly said, ¡°Mommy, I¡¯ve made a promise to God. After you wake up, I will never be naughty again, I¡¯ll behave well, listen to you, and eat properly¡­¡±


    Seeing her son suddenly become so sensible, the woman smiled.


    Sun Xiangchen hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, with mixed emotions, ¡°Wife, Bobo has grown up!¡±


    The woman blinked.


    And Chen Cang, standing aside, watched the touching scene, suddenly feeling it was all worth it.


    What about the Dongyang Provincial Hepatobiliary Surgery Video Contest PK Reward!


    What about being a member of the Dongyang Provincial Hepatobiliary Surgery Association¡­


    What weight could these hold in the face of these vibrant lives?


    Isn¡¯t the duty of a doctor to save the dying and heal the wounded?


    Chen Cang comforted himself¡­


    Looking at the phone with over a hundred missed calls.


    They were mostly from Qin Yue, Zhang Youfu, Qian Liang, Zhang Zhixin, and Chen Bingsheng.


    Even Zhou Hongguang had made a couple of calls to him.


    At this thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh!


    At this time, the little boy said to the woman and his father, ¡°It was that uncle who saved Mommy!¡±


    After speaking, he pointed at Chen Cang.


    After speaking, the boy walked over, ¡°Uncle, thank you for saving Mommy! You are a great hero.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and then smiled, ¡°Uncle is a doctor.¡±


    As soon as the boy heard this, his eyes revealed a longing, and he looked at Chen Cang seriously and said, ¡°I want to be a doctor when I grow up, as awesome as you, uncle!¡±


    Taken aback, Chen Cang looked at the spirited young boy and couldn¡¯t help but squat down, ¡°Then you must work hard!¡±


    The boy nodded and repeated, ¡°I will definitely become a great doctor like you, uncle!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    Boy: ¡°I¡¯m Sun Jingbo!¡±


    Chen Cang had a very good impression of the boy, to tell the truth, he even liked this brave little adult.


    With that thought, Chen Cang casually took off a new stethoscope he had just bought and handed it to him, saying, ¡°Here, this is for you.¡±


    Sun Jingbo¡¯s face immediately flushed with excitement, ¡°I will definitely become a great doctor!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I believe you will!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After leaving the observation room, Chen Cang sat on a chair, hesitating for a long time, whether to return a call or not.


    After thinking it over, he sighed, forget it¡­


    Anyway, the conference was almost over, what¡¯s the point of going, just to have a meal?


    Although the buffet at that restaurant was really good¡­


    Chen Cang returned to his office and sat in his chair.


    He opened the virtual screen, looking at the system tasks:


    ¡°Participate in Dongyang Province Hepatobiliary Surgery Video Competition PK, win to receive: Hepatobiliary Surgery Transfer Certificate, prompt task failure!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed.


    Forget it, it doesn¡¯t matter¡­


    After all, he wouldn¡¯t be able to activate it even if he got it.


    Chen Cang comforted himself.


    As for being a director¡­


    Forget that too!


    [Ding! Medical Ethics and Benovolence Task Completed, Congratulations, you¡¯ve given up your own interests to save a patient, and you will receive a special reward: a special training card.]


    Chen Cang was stunned for a moment!


    He quickly looked at the special training card, somewhat incredulous!


    What did a special training card mean?


    Perfect skill!


    Chen Cang had been fortunate enough to receive one before, but¡­ at that time he didn¡¯t know its value and used it for appendix removal surgery training.


    He regretted it terribly afterward, and now he had directly received a special training card.


    However, Chen Cang found he was happy a bit too soon¡­


    [Ding! Congratulations, for successfully rescuing a patient, you have received a generous reward: 1. A fine white coat (purple item); 2. Select and obtain any one surgical skill from this surgery; 3. Get a permanent gemstone.]


    Chen Cang suddenly smiled.

    [Ding! Exquisite white coat, purple item, made of special material, can withstand sudden sharp object damage (effective three times), other attributes: escape speed +5 (avoid being chased), strength +5; Note: The equipment takes effect automatically after being equipped.]


    Chen Cang looked at the exquisite white coat and suddenly felt a sense of desolation overwhelm him!


    It wasn¡¯t because the white coat wasn¡¯t good enough.


    It was because the white coat couldn¡¯t protect the neck¡­


    If someone stabbed him in the neck, wouldn¡¯t he still be doomed?


    Chen Cang sighed, but it was better than nothing¡ªat least he wouldn¡¯t have to fear being stabbed with a hidden knife.


    As a mature, prudent surgeon, he should have this kind of preventative mindset.


    [Enhancement gemstone: Permanently increase one¡¯s own strength attribute by +2.]


    Without a second thought, Chen Cang chose to apply it, and sure enough, a 20 percent increase in strength brought a very noticeable difference. It was so much better than some dexterous hands, indicating that the enhancement gemstone must be high-quality stuff.


    The last one, to randomly obtain an unowned surgery skill that appeared during this surgery:


    [Please select: Spleen Repair Surgery, Hip Fracture Surgery¡­]


    Chen Cang directly chose [Spleen Repair Surgery]; with this, at the very least, he could handle spleen injuries on his own.


    Looking at these rewards, Chen Cang suddenly felt that the Hepatobiliary Surgery Transfer Certificate didn¡¯t matter because¡­ as long as he gave his paper to Qian Liang, he could trigger the apprenticeship task, which should activate the Hepatobiliary Surgery system.


    But¡­the only downside was that he may need a score of 100 in either cardiovascular or thoracic surgery.


    This could take a while.


    The patient was quickly taken away by the ICU for further observation and treatment.


    ¡­

    Meanwhile, at the Hepatobiliary Surgery Annual Conference venue, today¡¯s surgical competition had already ended, and the award winners had delivered their acceptance speeches in the afternoon.


    This year¡¯s winner was extremely excited, as many well-known figures attended this year¡¯s conference. To be able to appear on such a stage, in front of these dignitaries, was an honor indeed.


    If they could leave a good impression on these big shots, it would be something to be proud of.


    Only¡­several of the dignitaries seemed somewhat downcast!


    Zhou Hongguang, bored to death, wanted to check his phone, but felt it inappropriate in such a setting, and could only sigh.


    It wasn¡¯t that the conference was dull. On the contrary, this year¡¯s conference had brought forth a group of outstanding youngsters.


    The surgical videos were creative and eye-catching.


    But Zhou Hongguang always felt something was missing, and yes, it was Chen Cang!


    He came for Chen Cang, and had specially called his students to come, to show them the talents of Dongyang, to see the innovation in emergency procedures and how well it was done.


    But after arriving today, he hadn¡¯t seen what he was looking for. Even though the others had had their merits, the gap from Chen Cang was glaringly obvious.


    Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Forget it, he would head back early after it was over.


    Qian Liang and Zhang Youfu both had grim expressions, wondering what was on their minds.


    They had made arrangements for that kid Chen Cang to compete, but he hadn¡¯t shown up even after the competition was over. Wasn¡¯t this the same as standing them up?


    Thinking back to the earlier scene made Qian Liang feel embarrassed.


    The host had called Chen Cang¡¯s name several times, but with no one responding, had moved on to the next person.


    This made them all feel humiliated.


    Qian Liang fell into a silent mood. Why didn¡¯t Chen Cang come?


    ¡°But you must have a reason!¡±


    ¡°Dozens of calls, not a single one answered, not a single one returned!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this!¡±


    Zhang Youfu saw Qian Liang acting this way and seemed somewhat angry. He quickly explained, ¡°Director Qian, Chen Cang¡­ might have had something come up.¡±


    Zhang Youfu could forgive Chen Cang, after all, they were from the same unit, and Chen Cang typically wasn¡¯t an arrogant or haughty person.


    But he was worried that this would leave a bad impression on Qian Liang.


    After all, Qian Liang was the foremost expert in hepatobiliary surgery in Dongyang province, with extensive personal connections and social circles. If he made any comments detrimental to Chen Cang, it would not be good.


    In fact, the most worried person on the scene was on the stage, the host: Qin Yue!


    In her exquisite cheongsam and cheerful smile, her heart was actually filled with anxiety. She worried, ¡°Could something have happened to Chen Cang?¡±


    Knowing Chen Cang, he wasn¡¯t the type to blow someone off. He had never been late once in his three years on the job.


    There had to be a reason for his absence from the conference.


    Could something have happened to Chen Cang?


    At this moment, Qin Yue¡¯s mind had no room for any competition or annual meeting; all she could think about was Chen Cang.


    Next was the summary conference, where various industry leaders would speak and summarize today¡¯s surgical competition.


    Qian Liang went on stage and invited several big names in the field of hepatobiliary surgery to speak.


    The process proceeded as planned.


    Although he was not pleased, the hepatobiliary surgery annual conference couldn¡¯t be delayed because of Chen Cang.


    The meeting continued; next up was the election of committee members.


    Zhang Youfu looked at the crowd and said, ¡°Next, it¡¯s time for the election of committee members. I hope you all vote seriously and fairly to choose the most suitable committee members in your eyes.¡±


    ¡°Now, I would like to invite those preparing to run for the committee to come on stage and give their speeches.¡±


    There weren¡¯t many new committee spots, only five, but there were more than thirty competitors.


    They took turns going on stage for two-minute speeches, full of eager anticipation. Most were seasoned main treating doctors around forty years old. Chen Bingsheng also gave a speech¡ªhis bio included being the lead author of a ¡°Liver Transplantation¡± article, which immediately set the audience ablaze.


    With five spots available, it seemed like Chen Bingsheng had already secured one!


    But when it came to Chen Cang¡¯s turn, still no one appeared.


    Zhang Youfu sighed. If Chen Cang were here, there wouldn¡¯t have been any problems, right?


    But then he sighed again.


    It didn¡¯t matter anymore¡­


    After that came the voting.


    The voting now was different from before, using WeChat to vote.


    The chairpersons received most votes, then the committee members, and lastly, the membership.


    Just as everyone was preparing to vote, suddenly a news alert popped up. Everyone habitually got ready to swipe away, but then they saw it was today¡¯s news:


    ¡°Next to the Central South Theater on Pingtiao Road, a traffic accident occurred this morning. Two pedestrians were hit by a car, and their lives hung by a thread. A young doctor stepped forward¡­ After more than ten hours of relentless effort, he successfully treated the patients. Our station¡¯s reporters learned that Dr. Chen Cang was on his way to this year¡¯s hepatobiliary surgery conference this morning¡­¡±


    ¡°But when faced with this situation, he resolutely set aside what he was doing and devoted himself to saving the patients. This rescue lasted more than ten hours, without a drop of water or a grain of rice. In the end, the patients were successfully treated! It¡¯s because of doctors like Chen Cang that our lives can be peaceful and harmonious!


    Now, the fleeing person has been captured by the police, and the suspect is a¡­¡±

 Chapter 444 - Chapter 444: Chapter 444: The Mastermind! Acting so boldly in front of me!

    Chapter 444: Chapter 444: The Mastermind! Acting so boldly in front of me!


    The vote was cast by everyone, including the judges present!


    Upon seeing the news that jumped out of Anyang City, everyone was stunned!


    Because they found the name shockingly familiar!


    Yes, it was Chen Cang.


    They clearly remembered that a doctor named Chen Cang had not come to the scene.


    At this moment, word spread quickly, and everyone started to check out the news.


    It clearly stated, ¡°It is known that Doctor Chen Cang was supposed to attend the Hepatobiliary Surgery Conference today¡­¡±


    Everyone was dumbfounded, could there be someone with the same name?


    That shouldn¡¯t be the case!


    Because the voting software is an app within the medical field, pushing some of the latest medical news and events, everyone naturally saw the message that popped up while they were voting.


    For a time, everyone fell silent!


    Looking at the several photos in the news.


    One was an image from surveillance of Chen Cang in a white shirt covered in blood, pressing down on a patient¡¯s wound, with the timestamp: 7:25 AM.


    Another showed the somewhat weary figure of Chen Cang outside the operating room. Timestamp: 4:40 PM.


    And another was a picture of a boy bowing to Chen Cang with a stethoscope in hand. The time was frozen at: 5:15 PM.


    These three images allowed all the medical staff present to piece together the whole process.


    From 7 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, spanning ten hours.


    One could fully imagine what a tough battle this rescue must have been.


    Everyone could envision what tense scenes must have unfolded in the operating room.


    Finally, a reporter conducted a simple interview:


    Reporter: ¡°Doctor Chen, when you saw the patient lying in a pool of blood, what were you thinking at that moment?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°I am a doctor, it¡¯s my duty to save him!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°I am a doctor, it¡¯s my duty to save her!¡±


    Just eight simple words, yet they made all the doctors who saw this message feel a twinge in their noses.


    This is what being a doctor is all about!


    For a time, everyone looking at the words spreading in the news could not calm their hearts for a long while!


    Indeed!


    What conference!


    What selection!


    Are these important?


    No matter how important, could they be more important than a patient¡¯s life?


    The ten hours of rescue, everyone knew what that entailed.


    Chen Cang¡¯s decisive actions in the face of the patient evoked profound awe and admiration.


    This was a medical spirit!


    A spirit that reminds us, no matter when, no matter where, to always remind ourselves: I am a doctor!


    The title ¡°doctor¡± is not just a profession.


    Often, it is also a responsibility.


    Chen Bingsheng saw this news, and so did Zhang Zhixin standing beside him. Their hearts were moved, this was exactly how young Chen should be!


    What a lousy conference!


    No harm in not attending!


    Chen Bingsheng felt elated, watching Chen Cang take such action filled him with pride!


    He pointed at the image of Chen Cang on the screen and said to his friend beside him, ¡°Look, this is my disciple!¡±


    Others couldn¡¯t help but give a thumbs up and say, ¡°Damn impressive, I am convinced!¡±


    Lan County People¡¯s Hospital¡¯s General Surgery department also attended the conference, with Director Duan Bo and Deputy Director Yang Peng. Seeing the familiar figure in the images, they suddenly remembered the scene when Chen Cang inserted an IV for a burn victim!


    Excited and thrilled, this was exactly how a doctor should act!


    Chen Cang is awesome!


    On the stage, Zhang Youfu had also seen the news, and so had Qian Liang. The two were momentarily stunned!


    Suddenly they understood why Chen Cang had dozens of missed calls he hadn¡¯t had time to return!


    Who cares about replying when it¡¯s a matter of life and death!


    Where would he find the time to reply?


    They also realized why Chen Cang didn¡¯t attend the conference!


    Because there was something a hundred times more important than the conference waiting for him to do.


    More important than becoming a member of the Hepatobiliary Surgery Council was the task waiting for him to complete.


    If Chen Cang had ignored saving lives just to become a council member through the selection, such a council member would be better off not existing!


    If I am to be a doctor!


    I must be the one who earnestly and responsibly saves lives and heals the wounded!


    I do not aspire to be the doctor who chases fame and profit with great fanfare!


    At this moment, Zhang Youfu felt a profound pride and admiration in his heart!


    He was proud of this young man!


    This kid, he¡¯s quite a character!


    In front of fame, wealth, and patients, he remains unmoved.


    Qian Liang leaned back in his chair, staring at his phone, unable to let go for a long time.


    He had misunderstood Chen Cang.


    He regretted it.


    At this moment, he understood that Chen Cang had gone to do something even more meaningful!


    Compared with Chen Cang, he and his peers sitting at the annual meeting seemed¡­ somehow lesser.


    Chen Cang, oh Chen Cang!


    What kind of person are you, really?


    Qian Liang sighed.


    He recalled that young, steady, clean-cut, and exceptionally talented man.


    His skills were impeccable, a healer with a benevolent touch!


    Incredible!


    With this thought, Qian Liang voted for Chen Cang.


    Zhou Hongguang, on the other hand, looked around at everyone in a daze.


    Since the voting involved only people from Dongyang Province, Zhou Hongguang had no idea what was going on.


    He couldn¡¯t understand why the voting process was so chaotic, and no one seemed to be in charge.


    The voting is underway!


    Without considering any other reasons, everyone marked a tick beside Chen Cang¡¯s name on their ballots, and then chose another four candidates.


    Everyone knew exactly what they were doing.


    With such a young man among them, one who disregarded his own fame and fortune, sacrificing himself to save the dying and heal the injured, shouldn¡¯t they vote for him?


    What is a doctor?


    Isn¡¯t it someone like him?


    If he doesn¡¯t become a council member, who could possibly be more suitable than him?


    At that moment, everyone resolutely ticked the box opposite to Chen Cang¡¯s name.


    Meanwhile, Qin Yue, who was standing behind the stage with her phone, also saw the message.


    She finally understood why Chen Cang hadn¡¯t come!


    Because of responsibility!


    At this moment, Qin Yue was filled with indescribable excitement, and tears threatened to burst forth.


    Because this man was her husband.


    The man who would protect her for a lifetime.


    With this thought, Qin Yue felt an overwhelming sense of excitement and contentment.


    At this moment, Qin Yue¡¯s phone chimed with a notification.


    It was a WeChat message.


    It was from Chen Cang.


    Just three words.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    After seeing it, Qin Yue laughed out loud.


    This fool, he probably doesn¡¯t know he¡¯s in the news yet, right?


    With this in mind, Qin Yue sent a message: ¡°Husband, I love you, I am proud of you!¡±


    After sending it, her heart brimmed with joy, and she put her phone in her pocket.


    Back at his location, Chen Cang was utterly flabbergasted.


    What the hell?


    A few minutes later, Zhang Youfu said, ¡°Alright, has everyone finished voting?¡±


    ¡°Now, please look at the big screen, the five newly elected council members are¡­¡±


    At this point, as Zhou Hongguang turned around to applause ostensibly as a show of support,


    He suddenly widened his eyes!


    Because he noticed that the one ranked first was unexpectedly Chen Cang!


    Unanimous votes!


    This shocked him!


    This, what the?!


    Too fake, right?


    Insider trading!


    I¡¯m going to report this!


    Wait, I¡¯m the vice-chair of the Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery Association.


    You people from Dongyang are too audacious, aren¡¯t you?


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t come, but he got all the votes, I¡­


    ps: Tomorrow is double monthly ticket day, brothers, it¡¯s time to show what we¡¯ve got, isn¡¯t it?


    It¡¯s been two months since we¡¯ve been on the shelves, and every time we rank seventeenth or eighteenth, come on! Let¡¯s see how far we can get this month!


    Remember, the ticket request starts tomorrow! (From the 29th to the 31st!)


    Your experienced writer here is immensely grateful!

 Chapter 445 - Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Mission Accomplished?

    Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Mission Accomplished?


    Zhou Hongguang was very dissatisfied inside!


    Although he had a good impression of Chen Cang, he felt quite uncomfortable with this approach.


    How could it be that Chen Cang¡¯s votes became full without a word said, so mysteriously?


    Wasn¡¯t there a better way to show support?


    This was clearly manipulation behind the scenes.


    Thinking of this, Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help but glance at Qian Liang.


    With a gloomy face and serious tone, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡±


    Qian Liang was startled, seeing that Zhou Hongguang seemed unaware, and then he realized what was happening!


    He quickly handed over his mobile phone: ¡°Director Zhou, take a look, this just happened today.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang glanced at the mobile phone, hesitated slightly, but after seeing the content, he still took it and started reading.


    Once he read it!


    Zhou Hongguang was stunned.


    It took him less than two minutes to read, and then Zhou Hongguang was silent for two minutes.


    No wonder Little Chen didn¡¯t come and didn¡¯t answer the phone.


    On the operating table where he was saving patients, he was like a soldier going into battle¡ªyou expect him to have time to take calls?


    Would you want the patient¡¯s life on your conscience?


    Thinking of this, Zhou Hongguang took a deep breath.


    Today¡¯s society, indeed, needs such good doctors.


    Putting aside personal fame and wealth, prioritizing the patient¡¯s life.


    That is the attitude and responsibility a doctor should have.


    No wonder then!


    Unanimous votes!


    Looking at everyone present who voted, Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.


    It seemed that this was everyone¡¯s recognition of Little Chen.


    There were already plenty of council members, one more wouldn¡¯t matter!


    With this in mind, Zhou Hongguang handed the mobile phone back to Qian Liang and said, ¡°Director Qian, I have a suggestion!¡±


    Qian Liang was taken aback: ¡°Director Zhou, please tell me.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang lowered his voice and whispered to Qian Liang, ¡°Let¡¯s add a seat to the council, decide on the spot by secret ballot, and let the committee vote.¡±


    ¡°A council position is but an honorary title. We shouldn¡¯t let this matter affect everyone¡¯s enthusiasm.¡±


    Qian Liang¡¯s eyes lit up, and he glanced at Zhou Hongguang, ¡°Director Zhou¡¯s thoughts coincide with mine!¡±


    Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Qian Liang also nodded his head.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Watching Chen Cang receive unanimous votes, Qin Yue felt a surge of satisfaction and pride welling up inside.


    Pride!


    She admired Chen Cang immensely.


    Zhang Youfu was looking at the voting results, ready to have the host Qin Yue announce the outcome.


    At that moment, Qian Liang suddenly patted Zhang Youfu¡¯s arm, indicating that he had something to say.


    Zhang Youfu was slightly taken aback, then nodded.


    Qian Liang then stood up, walked to the front, took the microphone, and said, ¡°I believe that with Chen Cang¡¯s unanimous votes, everyone must have already seen that news!¡±


    ¡°This is our pride as medical workers! It¡¯s also a model for our healthcare professionals. Such a comrade should be commended!¡±


    ¡°However, every one of us present is outstanding, and your work and achievements all deserve recognition.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, after discussing with Vice President Zhou, the deputy chairman of our National Society of Hepatobiliary Surgery, we¡¯ve decided to add a council seat.¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang is a member of our Dongyang Society of Hepatobiliary Surgery. We will grant him a council position in commendation! Apart from Chen Cang, there will be five other council members, selected according to their ranking.¡±


    ¡°Next, I invite the committee to raise their hands to vote on whether to agree to add one more council member!¡±


    After finishing, Qian Liang and several vice-chairmen, including Zhang Youfu, raised their hands, and the committee members in the front rows also raised their hands to agree.


    With this, everyone was overjoyed.


    The one ranked sixth, a thirty-five-year-old senior attending physician from Dongyang Medical University¡¯s Second Affiliated Hospital, originally thought he had no hope.


    Although resigned to his fate, he still felt some disappointment.


    Of course, he had no complaints, thinking of Chen Cang¡¯s deeds, agreeing that he indeed deserved commendation, and he too endorsed Chen Cang¡¯s action. Moreover!


    Given the chance, he would have done the same!


    But still, there was a little disappointment.


    After all, being a trustee signified recognition within the circle.


    However, upon hearing what Director Qian and Zhang Youfu said, the man immediately felt happy.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that he still had a chance!


    All of a sudden, the man was somewhat taken aback!


    Listening to the host announce the name of the trusted trustee, he quickly stood up and went onstage to shake hands with the various chairpersons.


    Everyone was overjoyed!


    At this moment, Qian Liang said, ¡°Congratulations to all of you for becoming trustees of the Dongyang Province Hepatobiliary Surgery Society and for your efforts in our hepatobiliary surgery field in Dongyang Province!¡±


    ¡°Here, perhaps not everyone is familiar with Chen Cang.¡±


    ¡°Actually, Chen Cang¡¯s trustee nomination was jointly proposed by me and Director Zhang Youfu. He is an excellent hepatobiliary surgeon. Although he is young, he has already achieved some notable results in our field.¡±


    ¡°Of course, I nominated Chen Cang not just because I see potential in him, but because he has made some special contributions to our hepatobiliary surgery field. As for what exactly¡­ I¡¯ll keep you in suspense for now. Tomorrow morning, I will invite Chen Cang to the venue, and then everyone will find out!¡±


    Finally, after Zhang Youfu performed some concluding tasks, today¡¯s meeting came to an end. Tomorrow would be a time for exchange, with some experts invited to give talks on certain special surgical procedures.


    To put it simply, it would be the time for the big names.


    After the meeting ended, Qian Liang and Zhang Youfu came over to Zhou Hongguang, ¡°Director Zhou, when is your train today? Let me arrange for someone to take you to the station.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang hesitated for a moment, ¡°We¡¯ll go back tomorrow afternoon.¡±


    ¡°After all, I specifically brought the students here to learn from Chen Cang¡¯s approach. Although we didn¡¯t succeed today, it still served as a lesson for these kids. For a doctor, morality is more important than medical skill. Let¡¯s head back tomorrow!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Liang immediately laughed, ¡°Okay, okay, okay!¡±


    After Zhou Hongguang finished speaking, he turned to the two men and said, ¡°By the way, let¡¯s go to the No. 2 Provincial Hospital tonight. I¡¯m quite curious about that surgery.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Liang and Zhang Youfu nodded and started to contact the No. 2 Provincial Hospital.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Qin Yue couldn¡¯t even bother with dinner, she changed clothes and headed straight for the No. 2 Provincial Hospital. She wanted to share the great news that he had become a trustee with Chen Cang!


    She hoped no one had beaten her to it!


    Unfortunately, Chen Cang was already worn out from the day¡¯s work, having only had a piece of bread and some water in his office to recuperate.


    Right after the surgery, he gave an interview.


    Since it was his first time on television, he couldn¡¯t exactly eat bread and drink water on air, could he?


    Chen Cang had his public image to consider too.


    For his TV debut, if not looking splendid, he at least had to appear presentable.


    He also wondered whether the TV station¡¯s cameras had beauty filters.


    After the interview, he was back to bread and water bought by a young boy.


    It was only then that Chen Cang felt revitalized.


    As for Directors Li Baoshan, Li Jianwei, and Tao Zi, they had gone out to dine with the reporters, accompanied by their father-in-law.


    Thinking that the No. 2 Provincial Hospital might receive positive coverage again tomorrow, his father-in-law¡¯s gaze toward Chen Cang softened.


    This kid was truly bringing his father-in-law good fortune!


    It seemed a trip with Chen Cang to Mirror Mountain to see what Master Zhang had to say was in order.


    As the main character of the day, Chen Cang was supposed to go too, but¡­ Qin Yue had told him to stay in the hospital and not to wander off, so he had to pass.


    Thinking that if he ever decided not to strive anymore, he¡¯d still have his wealthy girlfriend to rely on in old age, and his only job would be to stay pretty!


    And even if Chen Cang wanted to go out, he didn¡¯t have any clothes. His white shirt was already stained with blood; if he went out, someone might see and even call the police.


    You certainly can¡¯t wear a white lab coat out and about!


    There was supposed to be a spare set of clothes at the hospital, but¡­ it was given to Zhu Yongwang during a previous surgery.


    And instead, Zhu Yongwang had walked away wearing his clothes¡­


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    It seemed the hospital really needed to keep some spare clothes!


    Moreover, it looked like he couldn¡¯t wear his suit anymore; it was time to buy a new one.


    After all, it was a bit tight; he might as well treat himself to a new wardrobe.


    ¡­


    Just then, the system notification sounded!


    ¡°Ding! Congratulations, you have become a trustee of the Dongyang Province Hepatobiliary Surgery Society!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned for a full minute before he could react!


    What exactly was happening in this dramatic life of his?


    How had he suddenly become a trustee of the Hepatobiliary Surgery Society?

 Chapter 446 - Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Really... Great?

    Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Really¡­ Great?


    Chen Cang was stunned for several minutes!


    Could it be¡­ someone in the court actually wanted to be an official?


    He and Director Qian, as well as Director Zhang, were senior chairmen with considerable influence; had they given him an ¡°insider¡± position as a council member?


    This put Chen Cang in a state of panic, overwhelmed with emotions.


    This¡­ isn¡¯t appropriate, right?


    Chen Cang picked up the phone wanting to inquire and managed to get through to Zhang Youfu¡¯s number, only to hear Zhang Youfu chuckle.


    When he got through to Qian Liang, the other party also chuckled! But wouldn¡¯t give anything away.


    Chen Cang grew curious!


    What exactly was going on?


    Little did he know, Qin Xiaotian had already arranged everything perfectly.


    Chen Cang thought it over and decided it was best to wait for his own ¡®bandit queen¡¯ to return and ask her. After all, everyone else was an outsider!


    Unreliable!


    [Ding! Challenge mission completed, you have obtained Jing Ran¡¯s skill: Esophageal Aortic Fistula Repair Surgery! (Intermediate)]


    When Chen Cang saw the system prompt, he couldn¡¯t help but pause.


    Not bad at all!


    Great stuff!


    Although the surgery skill level was a bit low, the level of the surgery was high. This was an operation skill closely combining thoracic and cardiac surgery.


    A few days ago at Dongda First Hospital¡¯s Cardiac Surgery Department, Chen Cang had witnessed the chief of Thoracic Surgery Zhao Jianfeng and the chief of Cardiac Surgery work together on such a surgery!


    Chen Cang watched with great enjoyment, never expecting that Jing Ran could perform it too.


    Intermediate, it¡¯s low but¡­


    However, Chen Cang didn¡¯t mind.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Today, Jing Ran had been in high spirits, arranging everything at home, the place was beautifully decorated, a candlelit dinner, romantic words, lacking only a marriage proposal ring. But a perfect atmosphere had already been created.


    Jing Ran had planned to show Geng Yan some extra tenderness today to let her know he could be romantic too.


    And when Geng Yan got home, she indeed got a surprise.


    Suddenly, Jing Ran felt a wave of emptiness inside.


    It was as if¡­ his body had suddenly been hollowed out, an indescribable sense of desolation washing over him.


    What exactly was happening?


    When Geng Yan noticed that Jing Ran suddenly seemed to be saintly, she was startled and asked with concern, ¡°Honey¡­ what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Jing Ran shook his head, quickly clearing his mind: ¡°Probably just tired, it¡¯s nothing!¡±


    ¡­


    At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly heard another system notification!


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have become a member of two national academic societies and completed the challenge task!]


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained Jing Ran¡¯s skill: Lung Repair Surgery (Master Level!)]


    Chen Cang suddenly stood up, his face beaming with joy!


    Old Jing, you¡¯ve been good to your brother!


    One of these days, I¡¯ll treat you to lamb kidneys!


    Chen Cang contentedly looked at his gains, his liking for Jing Ran greatly increasing in an instant.


    Old Jing is a good guy!


    The skills are great, but¡­ in the future, I¡¯ll need to make sure he continues to progress¡­ after all, he is my skill library.


    However¡­


    Some are joyful while others are worried.


    Chen Cang is happy, Jing Ran is troubled!


    Just like a sudden winter wind overnight,


    The long night is hard to endure!


    Geng Yan looked at Jing Ran, holding his hands. At this time, as the lady of the house, she should give him confidence!


    But¡­ as medical workers, Geng Yan looked at Jing Ran and said firmly:


    ¡°Honey, this illness of ours, we must treat it!¡±


    Jing Ran was immediately taken aback, ¡°What illness? I¡¯m not sick!¡±


    Geng Yan sighed with sympathy, knowing that men would never admit it, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it will get better!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Jing Ran¡¯s body jolted. He was torn between laughter and tears, and after a moment of stunned silence, he hastily shook his head, ¡°It can¡¯t be, I was fine yesterday!¡±


    Geng Yan also came around, right, he¡¯s usually fine, what happened today?


    Thinking of this and recalling today¡¯s romance, could it be he did something both guilty and harmful to his health?


    Geng Yan stood up, staring at Jing Ran, ¡°Did you do something you¡¯re guilty of?¡±


    Jing Ran was startled, ¡°What are you thinking about? When would I have the time for that!¡±


    Hearing this, Geng Yan got upset, ¡°What, you would if you had the time? Good for you, Jing Ran, playing the saint all the time¡­¡±


    Jing Ran was dumbfounded, what have I done to deserve this?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang was happy today!


    A big harvest!


    A bumper crop!


    Just like New Year¡¯s.


    You don¡¯t get such good rewards on regular days.


    Watching skills and items streaming into his pocket.


    It looks like he needs to do more good deeds, more acts of kindness.


    When Qin Yue ran in happy, no one was in the office. She dashed straight into Chen Cang¡¯s arms!


    ¡°You¡¯re amazing, honey!¡±


    Chen Cang tossed his hair and curiously looked at Qin Yue, ¡°How exactly am I amazing?¡±


    Qin Yue fixed her big eyes on Chen Cang, and at that moment she was like Chen Cang¡¯s little fan girl, batting her large eyes and saying with a giggle, ¡°You¡¯re the best at everything!¡±


    Upon hearing that, Chen Cang knew for sure that was right. Such pleasing words!


    Before he could reply, Qin Yue pressed against him and planted an enthusiastic kiss on him.


    Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue, feeling that something was off.


    This girl, she¡¯s not quite herself today, too enthusiastic, isn¡¯t she?


    Reflecting on this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but swallow hard¡­


    Could it be that today is my chance to push the envelope?


    Qin Yue, sensing something amiss, quickly stepped back two paces, her face turning red, giving Chen Cang a look.


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, changing the subject, ¡°By the way, how did I suddenly become a board member?¡±


    Listening to this, Qin Yue laughed and explained, ¡°Let me tell you, you were so impressive today. The chairpersons were all unhappy, ready to vote for the board member, when suddenly their phones buzzed with a message. Out of curiosity, they checked and it turned out to be your news!¡±


    At this point, Qin Yue took out her phone to show Chen Cang, ¡°Look, this is your news!¡±


    Chen Cang was curious, had it been released so quickly?


    He hadn¡¯t even seen it himself!


    Chen Cang hurriedly tapped to open it and took a closer look. Indeed, the shoot was quite good.


    The angles were spot on, and the demeanor, yes, not bad!


    After all, they were professionals.


    Qin Yue added, ¡°Today, under Director Qian¡¯s lead, an extra board member position was added.¡±


    Chen Cang felt a surge of gratitude at this.


    At that moment, Qin Yue suddenly mentioned, ¡°Haven¡¯t you called Director Qian and the others back yet?¡±


    Chen Cang smacked his forehead, almost forgetting.


    He quickly took out his phone and made the call.


    After Chen Cang said his piece, Qian Liang just smiled and replied, ¡°Well done, little Chen!¡±


    However, Qian Liang added, ¡°Remember to come tomorrow, I¡¯ve arranged your time. You¡¯ll start the event, talk about the surgery. You¡¯ll have plenty of time, give everyone a good introduction.¡±


    ¡°After all, they elected you personally, don¡¯t let everyone think you lack expertise!¡±


    Getting the message, Chen Cang immediately nodded, ¡°Of course, thank you, Director Qian!¡±

 Chapter 447 - Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Selling Father for Glory, Qin Xiaotian

    Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Selling Father for Glory, Qin Xiaotian


    After hanging up the phone, Qin Yue said with a grin, ¡°You¡¯ve had a tough day, let me treat you to something delicious!¡±


    Chen Cang lifted his white lab coat, and Qin Yue saw that he was bare-chested underneath!


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°My clothes are dirty and covered in blood, I can¡¯t wear them.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue suddenly had a brainwave and said with a smile, ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll go get you a set of clothes!¡±


    She then ran towards home.


    She remembered that just last weekend, she had gone with Old Qin to buy a cashmere sweater that was neither too thin nor too thick, just right.


    And Chen Cang happened to be about the same size as her dad.


    So Qin Yue decided to ¡°borrow¡± her dad¡¯s clothes first¡ªit wouldn¡¯t affect anything anyway.


    After all, we¡¯re all family, and who would care about just one piece of clothing, right?


    Yep!


    With that thought, Qin Yue dashed back home and found her mother applying a face mask. Her eyes narrowed with joy: Lucky!


    ¡°Mom, aren¡¯t you going to eat?¡±


    Ji Ruyun heard her daughter return and placed two cucumber slices over her eyes, ¡°Mmm, dieting.¡±


    Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, ¡°Where¡¯s dad?¡±


    Ji Ruyun sighed, ¡°Your dad seems to have gone out to eat with some journalists. I don¡¯t really know what¡¯s going on. I¡¯m too lazy to eat alone, so I¡¯ll just diet too.¡±


    Qin Yue became excited upon hearing this.


    Fate is helping me.


    She tiptoed into her parents¡¯ bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and after carefully searching, she finally found her father¡¯s newly bought cashmere sweater in a corner, with the tag still uncut.


    She stuffed it into her bag, then snuck back out with a smile, ¡°I forgot to take my purse, mom, I¡¯m leaving now, going out to have dinner with Chen Cang.¡±


    Ji Ruyun lay on the couch, complaining, ¡°The elbow turns outwards; you¡¯ve got a boyfriend, and you¡¯ve forgotten your mom!¡±


    Qin Yue giggled, Mom, you¡¯re underestimating your daughter, it¡¯s not just you I¡¯ve forgotten, I¡¯ve even taken dad¡¯s clothes.


    With that in mind, Qin Yue hurried towards the hospital.


    After entering, she said to Chen Cang, ¡°Come with me, I¡¯ve got a present for you!¡±


    Chen Cang was curious as he watched the out-of-breath Qin Yue return and asked, ¡°What present?¡±


    Qin Yue pulled Chen Cang to the duty room, saying, ¡°You¡¯ll find out when we get there!¡±


    Chen Cang was dragged into the duty room by an enigmatic Qin Yue, who then clicked the door shut and locked it, looking at Chen Cang with a smile, ¡°Take off your clothes!¡±


    A gasp rose in Chen Cang¡¯s heart, in the duty room¡­ is that really appropriate?


    But his hands had already undone two buttons.


    ¡­


    Qin Yue took out a khaki cashmere sweater from her bag, ¡°Hmm, try this on! Let¡¯s see if it fits.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the sweater in surprise, ¡°You bought this for me?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, her face turning slightly red!


    She remembered that she had never given Chen Cang a present before. The sweater was nice, fitting well would make it a perfect gift, otherwise she would return it to her dad!


    With that thought, Qin Yue said, ¡°Try it on first!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and slipped into it.


    And it was indeed comfortable!


    Qin Yue watched Chen Cang with increasing satisfaction, the more she looked, the happier she was with how good it looked on him!


    At the very least, it looked better on him than it did on her dad.


    And it didn¡¯t make him look old.


    Thinking this, Qin Yue kept a straight face and calmly boasted, ¡°How is it? Not bad, my taste, right?¡±


    Chen Cang, looking at himself in the mirror, was also very pleased. The sweater added a touch of maturity and steadiness compared to his usual attire, and with dress pants and leather shoes, it gave him a European style that was handsome, warm, and somewhat refined.


    It was very nice!


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Chen Cang, looking at Qin Yue, felt truly moved. It took someone special to remember his size and buy him such a personal item like a cashmere sweater; he was deeply grateful.


    Hasn¡¯t he yet to give Qin Yue a gift himself?


    With that thought in mind, Chen Cang resolved to pick out something special to surprise Qin Yue!


    Chen Cang embraced Qin Yue and whispered gently, ¡°Thank you! My darling!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue¡¯s heart instantly melted.


    Held in Chen Cang¡¯s arms, she felt a warmth she couldn¡¯t tell was from the cashmere or from Chen Cang himself.


    However, she knew that their act of ¡°trading a father for honor¡± had produced excellent results!


    Still, she felt that one of these days, she should sneak out and buy another one for her father.


    Forget it, that wouldn¡¯t count as ¡°trading a father for honor¡±!


    It didn¡¯t matter anymore!


    At that thought, Qin Yue took Chen Cang by the hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, time to treat ourselves to something delicious! It¡¯s on me!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, smiled, and followed Qin Yue out of the duty room.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Old Qin was in a good mood today.


    After all, today¡¯s event with Chen Cang was yet another feather in both his and the hospital¡¯s cap, and definitely something to promote widely tomorrow.


    In the current tense social atmosphere, such a positive energy event was bound to be publicized.


    Thinking about this, Old Qin¡¯s satisfaction with Chen Cang grew even more.


    Having just dined with reporters, Qin Xiaoyuan stepped out of the restaurant with a few people in tow.


    Looking at Li Baoshan, Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°Baoshan, you really went through a lot today!¡±


    Li Baoshan smiled and replied, ¡°Director Qin, all the credit today goes to Chen. I wouldn¡¯t dare take any for myself. I suggest the hospital recognizes Chen for his actions, as it¡¯s a good thing and deserves to be positively highlighted.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, agreeing that it was a good idea.


    ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. I¡¯ll talk to the medical department tomorrow and arrange a commendation for Chen!¡±


    At that moment, Li Baoshan¡¯s phone rang and upon seeing it was Zhang Youfu, he immediately answered, ¡°Hello, Director Zhang, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Zhang Youfu said, ¡°Director Li, I am here with Director Qian Liang, and Director Zhou Hongguang wanted to review the surgery videos from today. Is that convenient for you?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Li Baoshan instantly replied, ¡°It¡¯s convenient, but¡­ isn¡¯t it a bit late?¡±


    Then Zhou Hongguang took the phone and said, ¡°Director Li, this is Zhou Hongguang. I wish to review the rescue video from today. I¡¯m sorry for troubling you so late.¡±


    Li Baoshan chuckled, ¡°No trouble at all, Director Zhou, just come on over. I¡¯ll be waiting for you in the emergency department!¡±


    After hanging up, Li Baoshan chuckled and turned to Qin Xiaoyuan, ¡°Director Zhou from Room 301 wants to see the video. Will you join us?¡±


    Upon hearing Zhou Hongguang¡¯s name and seeing a chance to network, Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look; I have nothing else to do at home.¡±


    Thus, the group headed towards the hospital.


    Along the way, Qin Xiaoyuan kept probing Li Baoshan for information about Chen Cang, eager to extricate details.


    However, to his surprise, Li Baoshan had endless praises for Chen Cang and he didn¡¯t need to solicit any information at all.


    What Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t expect was how highly Li Baoshan regarded Chen Cang!


    This was a pleasant surprise!


    He was indeed the man my daughter had chosen.


    Indeed¡­


    Indeed!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: A big thank you to old friend ¡°Xi Anbei¡± for the 10,000 reward, becoming the Hall Master of this book, and to ¡°Xuan Yuan Jing Yu¡± and ¡°Gu Ku Xiao Yi Sheng¡± for their 10,000 rewards, adding two new helms to this book¡ªendlessly grateful!


    By the way, starting today, it will be double monthly ticket days. I¡¯m not asking for a lot, but¡­ with monthly tickets, if you¡¯re not moving forward, you¡¯re falling behind. During double ticket days, if someone overtakes us, it certainly wouldn¡¯t be very pleasant. So for the health of my pride, I hope everyone can support with their votes.


    Also, one more thing! With the year-end coming up, we¡¯re doing an event. We¡¯ll draw some fans to give away cash red envelopes in the QQ group; those interested can participate.

    Last but not least!


    I still ask for your votes¡­

 Chapter 448 - Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Original Speed!

    Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Original Speed!


    Chen Cang wore the ¡°little padded jacket¡± and the cashmere sweater he had ¡°borrowed.¡±


    Perfectly at ease!


    It was already six or seven o¡¯clock, precisely when the night market was beginning.


    The two walked together, hand in hand, chatting and laughing.


    At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly felt that happiness was very simple.


    Today, Chen Cang had declined to eat hotpot, after all, he cherished the new cashmere sweater, and it would be a pity to smell of hotpot afterward.


    After some thought, the two made their way to the snack street.


    It had to be said that as a central city, Anyang had its benefits, at least it had a variety of delicacies from all over the place; Qin Yue had a great appetite at the moment, and Chen Cang followed her around, quickly stuffing various foods into their stomachs.


    Looking at all these kinds of snacks, Chen Cang suddenly thought of a terrifying question¡ªjust how powerful the human stomach is, digesting anything you feed it.


    However, Qin Yue seemed to have no interest in this question.


    She was more interested in what Chen Cang hadn¡¯t eaten before.


    Anything Chen Cang hadn¡¯t tried, she wanted to buy for him to taste, of course, under the pretext that she wanted to eat it herself.


    The snack street at night had become a unique feature of this city.


    Most of the customers here were couples, each holding hands.


    The sugar-coated haws vendor was an old couple who had spent their life selling candied fruit skewers, with many varieties; every time Qin Yue came, she always bought two skewers¡ªone for herself and one for her mother.


    Seeing Qin Yue approaching, the old couple smiled at her and then sized up Chen Cang.


    ¡°In a relationship now?¡± The old man was very enthusiastic, handing the candied haws to Qin Yue and greeting her with a smile.


    Qin Yue¡¯s face blossomed into a smile just like a flower, and she nodded, ¡°Mhm!¡±


    This seemed to be the first time she had told a stranger!


    She felt a different kind of emotion in her heart.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, in the operating room¡¯s office, a group of people fixated their eyes on a surgery in progress, discussing it nonstop.


    ¡°If Chen had been even a little later, the patient would probably have lost too much blood to say the least, with two major blood vessels damaged, a ruptured spleen, and multiple organ injuries in the abdominal cavity¡­¡± Zhou Hongguang quickly made an assessment while looking at the scene on the monitor.


    Qian Liang and Zhang Youfu, recalling the situation at the time, both felt somewhat fortunate; if it hadn¡¯t been for Chen Cang, the patient might really have been lost.


    Although the golden window for rescue after a car accident is between one to two hours.


    But with this kind of severe bleeding, wouldn¡¯t the person be gone in two hours regardless?


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Indeed, the patient was already in shock at the scene, after all, with damage to the splenic artery and the abdominal aorta, the blood was gushing like a fountain.¡±


    It could undoubtedly be said that Chen Cang was the woman¡¯s lifesaver!


    The surgical footage shifted, mainly showing cleaning, viewed at a sped-up rate, but seeing the extent of damage inside the abdomen, everyone still felt emotional.


    Soon, the screen displayed the spleen area, and everyone instantly sighed at the sight of the ruptured spleen.


    They all knew that not much of the patient¡¯s spleen could be saved!


    However, there wasn¡¯t much to hope for; saving the life was the priority, everything else was secondary.


    But the following scene left everyone stunned!


    Because they realized that the surgery being performed next wasn¡¯t a splenectomy!


    It was¡­ what were they doing?


    Picking up the needle holder for what?


    Suturing blood vessels!


    Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.


    Zhou Hongguang quickly called for a pause, looking at Li Baoshan with curiosity, ¡°Director Li¡­ are they suturing the vessels inside the spleen?¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Zhou Hongguang was instantly stunned.


    The vasculature within the spleen is intricate, and after sustaining severe trauma, blood vessels rupture, causing the spleen to become congested, swell, and become fragile¡ªit can easily burst!


    At this moment, attempting to suture the vessels could very likely exacerbate the damage to the spleen!


    But¡­


    Soon Zhou Hongguang realized why this was being done!


    Because Li Baoshan and his team didn¡¯t want to extensively remove the spleen.


    Because the patient was just over thirty.


    There was still a long life ahead.


    At this time, since the injury to the patient¡¯s spleen was fairly recent, suturing the vessels could indeed achieve a certain effect¡­reducing the range of necrotic tissue to be excised.


    But there was no doubt the risk and difficulty of the surgery would significantly increase!


    Thinking this, Zhou Hongguang took a deep breath!


    ¡°Put the surgical video back to normal speed,¡± he said.


    Yuan Yuan nodded, started working, and soon adjusted it to the original speed.


    Zhou Hongguang looked at the screen, at those dexterous and swift suturing hands¡­and frowned immediately!


    ¡°Normal speed, not faster,¡± he stated.


    Yuan Yuan was startled, I¡¯ve already set it to normal speed, haven¡¯t I? Isn¡¯t this playing at speed 1.0?


    ¡°Director, this is already at normal speed,¡± Kong Yuanyuan couldn¡¯t help saying.


    Zhou Hongguang was immediately taken aback: ¡°How is this possible, how can suturing be this fast, this is the spleen¡­¡±


    He hadn¡¯t finished speaking when he suddenly noticed that the surgical video in the top right corner was indeed at 1.0x speed.


    At that, Zhou Hongguang was astonished!


    Li Baoshan and Tao Zi looked at Zhou Hongguang, seeing his ghost-seeing expression, and couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit of secret satisfaction!


    ¡°Director Zhou, this is the normal speed,¡± they said.


    Zhou Hongguang¡¯s eyes widened, somewhat in disbelief!


    How could this be normal speed?


    This is the spleen¡¯s tiny vasculature, let alone their intricate pathways, just consider the surrounding tissue¡ªgoing too fast increases risks¡­


    Yet, the scenes within the video were definitely at normal speed!


    This made Zhou Hongguang involuntarily hold back his doubts, and instead, his face showed complete astonishment!


    Indeed, there were mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that a trip to Dongyang would broaden his horizons to such an extent, thinking of this.


    Zhou Hongguang looked at Li Baoshan, took a deep breath, full of respect, and said earnestly, ¡°Is this¡­Director Li suturing? This suturing skill and speed, it really has taken me by surprise!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Li Baoshan was internally delighted; it would have been great if he had done the suturing, but alas!


    Li Baoshan smiled and shook his head, not getting the chance to reply.


    Zhang Youfu interrupted, ¡°Director Li, this is Chen Cang suturing, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Li Baoshan, for some reason, felt a distaste for Zhang Youfu¡¯s chubby face, thinking, Couldn¡¯t this fatso let me be happy for just three more seconds?


    Seeing Li Baoshan remain silent, Tao Zi smiled and said, ¡°Yes! Indeed, Chen Cang¡¯s vascular suturing is truly impressive.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang swallowed hard, a gulp to suppress his astonishment.


    ¡°The Chen Cang you¡¯re talking about¡­ is it Chen Cang?¡± he asked.


    Qian Liang nodded: ¡°Yes! I¡¯ve seen Chen Cang suture vessels, and it¡¯s indeed as impressive as you¡¯ve seen.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongguang was immediately astounded. How could Chen Cang be so impressive?


    Qian Liang continued, ¡°Actually¡­ if you look here, the most impressive part about Chen Cang isn¡¯t just his vascular suturing. Observe how he has mastered the vascular intricacies of the spleen¡ªit¡¯s impossible without solid basic skills!¡±


    With that, Qian Liang said, ¡°Set the speed to 0.5!¡±


    Yuan Yuan nodded, internally sneering at the big director from the capital: To think he¡¯s an expert from the capital, yet so inexperienced¡­

 Chapter 449 - Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Who Pays for the Broken TV?

    Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Who Pays for the Broken TV?


    They say professionals appreciate the techniques; laymen just enjoy the show!


    This saying was perfectly exemplified here.


    Qin Xiaoyuan, Director of the Oncology Department and an internist, had only a superficial understanding of surgery. He might seem like an expert to ordinary people, but compared to this group of directors, he was a complete amateur.


    But¡­


    Ignorance is ignorance!


    But that didn¡¯t stop him from feeling very happy.


    Moreover, old Qin felt a strong sense of projection at this moment.


    Although the compliments were about Chen Cang, the pleasure was all in old Qin¡¯s heart!


    Zhou Hongguang nodded, ¡°Yeah, look at this, the clever twisting of the blood vessels can all be treated with this special technique¡­¡±


    Qian Liang was in full agreement, standing up and walking to the screen, pointing at the periphery of the liver, ¡°You see here, actually¡­ you could suture here, but Chen didn¡¯t bother. I was wondering what was up, but then I realized he considered excision¡­¡±


    With that said, Li Baoshan also slapped his thigh, wondering why he hadn¡¯t thought of that.


    Thus, the five directors made it quite the spectacle.


    And the show just got better and better!


    There were only two in the audience.


    One was Qin Xiaoyuan, and the other was Kong Yuanyuan.


    The two of them watched the five surgery directors gesticulating in front of the TV, their feelings complex.


    Old Qin was thrilled, after all, they were praising an employee of his hospital, and also his future son-in-law!


    That was double the pleasure!


    Double the joy!


    Thinking about this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt blissful inside and grew more and more satisfied with Chen Cang, the young man.


    His daughter had great taste, yes¡­ He would have a good talk with her tonight about getting married sooner. After all, with these directors eyeing hungrily, should any of them have a daughter, they would become future rivals, right?!


    Although old Qin was confident about his genes, even the best corner of a wall can¡¯t stand relentless digging!


    At that moment, Kong Yuanyuan felt incredibly anxious, watching each director gesturing at the television, spitting and splattering saliva into the air, and on the TV screen, their voices never ceasing, fingers thumping on the TV with a ¡°bang clang¡± sound.


    She was really worried!


    She was on night shift tonight¡­ If the TV broke, would Nurse Chief Li Ying chop her up?


    If she had to pay for it, it would be thousands of dollars¡­ all hard-earned money.


    Thinking this, Kong Yuanyuan was seized with alarm.


    Anxiously, she turned to look at Dean Qin Xiaoyuan and cautiously said, ¡°Dean¡­¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was immersed in his double pleasure.


    Startled by Kong Yuanyuan speaking, he paused, ¡°Oh? What is it?¡±


    Kong Yuanyuan felt embarrassed to voice it, yet she was worried. So she whispered, ¡°Dean¡­ if the TV breaks, who will pay for it?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan: ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Two hours later, everyone left the operating room, still not having had enough.


    What a great night!


    That was the feeling each person had.


    ¡°A thousand cups are too few when shared with a kindred spirit,¡±


    Watching the film together is truly delightful!


    ¡°Why should you know someone before enjoying their company?¡±


    A single surgery can create genuine connections!


    They all cherished each other¡¯s company, making plans to drink together the next night and collaborate on surgeries in the future!


    And they made a pledge to share and discuss any good videos they had, even forming a group with the title ¡°Video Exchange Group¡± written above.


    Well, such is the surprisingly dull life of surgery directors.


    Before leaving, Zhou Hongguang looked at Qin Xiaoyuan and exclaimed, ¡°Dean Qin, my experience with Second Hospital has truly been an eye-opener. I believe under your leadership, it will shine even brighter!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan smiled. Under my leadership maybe not, but¡­ my son-in-law surely will!


    ¡°Ha-ha, Director Zhou, you¡¯re too polite. Let¡¯s do this, come by more often when you have time. We and 301 must enhance cooperation and make progress together!¡±


    Zhou Hongguang nodded and took his leave.


    Zhou Hongguang was not only the head of the hepatobiliary surgery department but also the deputy dean of Hospital 301, after all, he was on the verge of becoming an academician.


    However, Zhou Hongguang had a peculiar habit: he preferred to be called Director instead of Dean. In his own words, ¡°The honor of being a Chief Physician gives me a greater sense of identity, constantly reminding me that I am a doctor.¡±


    After everyone parted ways.


    Qin Xiaoyuan walked home with a contented and cheerful spirit, humming a melody.


    His mouth was humming ¡°The birds on the trees pair up¡­¡±


    Unfortunately, Qin Xiaoyuan could only sing two lines.


    But that didn¡¯t stop his happiness. He didn¡¯t know how many times he had sung it when he arrived at his doorstep.


    After opening the door and entering, he was immediately greeted by a delicious aroma!


    Upon closer inspection, he saw his mother and child eating snacks there.


    Seeing her dad return, Qin Yue immediately got up with a smile, ¡°Dad, take a seat, I bought some tasty food for you!¡±


    Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Qin Yue and smiled, ¡°I thought you had forgotten about your dad with Chen Cang around!¡±


    Qin Yue playfully pouted, saying against her true feelings, ¡°How is that possible? Dad is the best, right?¡±


    At this, Qin Yue picked up a piece of takoyaki, ¡°Here, Dad, let me feed you!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan, seeing how sensible his daughter was, felt extremely satisfied.


    Ah¡­


    Heaven has not treated me Qin poorly!


    A virtuous wife, a filial daughter, and a good son-in-law.


    Contentment, pure contentment!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Zhou Hongguang, pondering the matter, returned to his hotel.


    He greeted the students as he walked in, side by side with them.


    Zhou Hongguang was very kind to his students, often taking them out to conferences to broaden their horizons.


    ¡°Is everyone here?¡±


    As he came in and saw five or six students gathered, chatting in the room, he couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Everyone nodded and smiled, ¡°The teacher is back.¡±


    Zhou Hongguang nodded, ¡°Rest early, we¡¯re heading back to Beijing tomorrow afternoon.¡±


    At that moment, Scholar Two¡¯s student suddenly asked, ¡°Teacher, what exactly was that thing you wanted us to see?¡±


    The other students nodded curiously.


    ¡°Exactly, teacher!¡±


    Actually, they had wanted to return today, feeling that there was no point in staying here.


    The decision had been to return to the capital that day.


    But when the teacher suddenly asked them to stay for an extra day, they were somewhat baffled. What was so essential that they had to see?


    Moreover, they now also knew about Chen Cang, merely a young doctor of 27 or 28 years old, even younger than them.


    What was it about Chen Cang that had captured the teacher¡¯s interest?


    Zhou Hongguang, looking at his group of students, couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°It seems you¡¯ve learned a bit about Chen Cang, haven¡¯t you?¡±


    The students nodded. Indeed, after returning today, they had inquired around, looked up information, and even searched online, eventually discovering Chen Cang in the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital.


    They found that Chen Cang was just a graduate with a bachelor¡¯s degree from Dongyang Medical University¡­


    This made them even more curious about why the teacher had asked them to stay.


    Zhou Hongguang understood what they were thinking and smiled faintly, ¡°Do you know, this undergraduate has achieved something none of you could manage!¡±


    With that statement, he spared no feelings!


    The students were all taken aback!


    ¡­

 Chapter 450 - Chapter 450: Chapter 450: This is Awesome!

    Chapter 450: Chapter 450: This is Awesome!


    A group of doctoral students looked at each other in dismay!


    Undergraduates achieved something these Ph.D. students couldn¡¯t?


    Isn¡¯t that quite normal?


    Why should we be surprised?


    Their undergraduate peers of the same age are now married with kids who can already call the man next door ¡°Uncle Wang¡±, and here they are, not to mention having a wife, they don¡¯t even have a boyfriend or a girlfriend!


    Why should we be surprised?


    Their undergraduate peers of the same age who graduated and became pharmaceutical sales reps are now making millions a year and can afford to keep a goddess, yet these guys can¡¯t even afford to get a girlfriend¡ªthey¡¯re polishing their hand!


    Why should we be surprised?


    We¡¯ve long cultivated a heart that remains calm in the face of collapsing mountains, a faint smirk of disdain leaks out to cover up our envious and covetous souls that die of envy and cry of desire!


    Zhou Hongguang looked at his group of students, sitting unfazed in front of him, and seemed¡­ not at all surprised!


    This¡­ doesn¡¯t seem to match his script at all!


    Zhou Hongguang had confidently planned to take this opportunity to properly give these good-for-nothing rascals a lesson.


    But¡­


    Seeing everyone obediently listening to him, there seemed to be¡­ no shock or curiosity at all.


    This made Zhou Hongguang feel somewhat uncomfortable.


    Zhou Hongguang looked at his most accomplished Scholar Three student, Dong Chen, thinking he should make an example out of him to warn the others, and suddenly asked, ¡°Xiao Dong, aren¡¯t you curious about what Chen Cang did? Why I want you to stay?¡±


    Dong Chen let out a cold laugh, seeing through the old trick, and obediently showed a hint of nonchalance, shaking his head, ¡°Not curious!¡±


    Zhou Hongguang looked at this simple-minded fellow who had surprisingly learned his lesson, sighed, and turned to the more clever Scholar Two, Wang Xinlong, asking, ¡°Xiao Wang, what about you?¡±


    Wang Xinlong was savvier, ¡°If the teacher asks us to stay, naturally there¡¯s reason from the teacher!¡±


    Zhou Hongguang was taken aback for a moment.


    No.


    This won¡¯t do at all.


    Zhou Hongguang had grown even more fond of Chen Cang after watching his surgery, thinking how outstanding this 27-year-old was. Not only did he perform excellent surgery, but he also improved two surgical techniques. And what about you doctoral students?


    Don¡¯t you have any sense of awareness?


    Aren¡¯t you ashamed?


    So, Zhou Hongguang was displeased; he wanted to give these rascals a lesson, but¡­ there¡¯s no issue with lecturing them, but there must be an appropriate reason, right?


    As soon as he came in, these people gave Zhou Hongguang a reason: arrogance.


    They must think that by asking them to stay all night, he was showing arrogance and prejudice towards Chen Cang.


    They looked down on Chen Cang, and that¡¯s why they acted this way!


    So, he deliberately wanted to arouse their curiosity, to tell them how amazing Chen Cang was, and then take the chance to teach them a lesson.


    Unfortunately¡­


    The script didn¡¯t seem to work; these people were not curious in the slightest!


    However¡­


    Experience is still the best teacher!


    Zhou Hongguang managed to become an academician, an associate dean, through his adaptability and resourcefulness.


    So, with a sneer, he said, ¡°Oh! Right, you guys still don¡¯t know that Xiao Chen is merely a bachelor¡¯s graduate, do you?¡±


    The senior, Dong Chen, was taken aback and said indifferently, ¡°We know that, we checked it! Look, this is the official website of the Second Provincial Hospital.¡±


    Seeing everyone nodding in silence, Zhou Hongguang was so angry he almost threw his toupee!


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you the least bit curious¡­!?¡±


    The Scholar Two classmate shook his head¡­


    Zhou Hongguang¡¯s face changed, and with a slap on the table, he sighed with regret, ¡°How many times have I taught you, as researchers in the field of science, especially in the health and medical sector, that we should always maintain a sense of curiosity about the outside world, always asking ourselves ¡®why¡¯!¡±


    ¡°Look at yourselves, do you have any desire for knowledge left! Ah¡­ You¡¯ve disappointed your teacher so much!¡±


    ¡°Do you think I¡¯d be happy just because you listen to me? What I hope is for you to learn to think independently!¡±


    ¡°Do you understand the meaning of independent thinking?¡±


    Zhou Hongguang spoke with passion, smiled inwardly, thinking, now you should feel ashamed, right?


    Unfortunately¡­


    Time ticked away¡­


    But the group seemed unmoved.


    Dong Chen said, ¡°Teacher¡­ you told us not to gossip too much¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongguang exclaimed, ¡°I don¡¯t care! I have to teach you a lesson today, otherwise you won¡¯t realize how far behind you are!¡±


    Everyone was at a loss for words, seeing Teacher Zhou like this, they couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Ah¡­ If you want to scold us, just say it, why beat around the bush, it¡¯s always like this¡­


    They sighed, ¡°Teacher, we know we were wrong!¡±


    Zhou Hongguang immediately nodded with satisfaction, ¡°Where were you wrong?¡±


    Everyone: ¡­


    Zhou Hongguang continued, ¡°Come here, come sit down, and let me tell you how amazing this young Chen is, and why I brought you all to Dongyang Province!¡±


    Actually, Zhou Hongguang was famously kind to his students.


    Basically, whenever there was a chance, he took his students with him to every meeting.


    Most professors, once reaching Zhou Hongguang¡¯s status and position, would assign their students to junior doctors for guidance, or simply throw them into the laboratory to fend for themselves, spending their days with a myriad of test mice!


    When graduation came, the teacher would arrange a decent future for them.


    This was the way a distinguished mentor typically treated their students!


    Of course, many people dream of this kind of opportunity, after all, isn¡¯t the purpose of studying to pursue a good future?


    But Zhou Hongguang truly considered his students, teaching them to think, to do research, and clinical work.


    Of course, scolding was for their own improvement, because he hoped to see them progress!


    Only then did Zhou Hongguang say, ¡°You definitely don¡¯t know what I was just doing!¡±


    ¡°I just went to observe Chen¡¯s surgery, and it really opened my eyes. I even thought about accepting Chen as my student despite the formalities.¡±


    ¡°The patient had a severe spleen laceration caused by a car accident¡­ But the woman was only 33 years old¡­ Chen, in order to¡­¡±


    ¡°That was suturing of the splenic vessels, and at that time the spleen was very fragile¡­¡±


    Zhou Hongguang embellished the story, and everyone fell silent upon listening.


    They were all physicians with rich clinical experience and understood the situation clearly, so after hearing Zhou Hongguang¡¯s words, they were shocked.


    For a moment, they were looking forward to Chen Cang¡¯s lecture the next day!


    At this point, Zhou Hongguang saw that the time was ripe and said indifferently:


    ¡°By the way, I heard that Chen published two papers this year, one on ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯, and the other I believe should also be fine, in the ¡®British Journal of Surgery¡¯, improving two surgical procedures, and this is also why I brought you here!¡±


    This statement left everyone stunned!


    Their expertise might not be in other areas, but¡­ when it comes to academic papers, they deal with them every day, how could they not understand.


    Hearing the teacher say that Chen Cang had published two ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯ level papers, they were all dumbfounded!


    And to have improved two new surgical techniques!


    That was truly impressive.

 Chapter 451 - Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Passed!

    Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Passed!


    Across the ocean in Britain, it was time for afternoon tea, a long-standing tradition that had experienced a resurgence in the 21st century.


    On such a sunny and unusually comfortable afternoon, George Xavier thoroughly enjoyed this precious time!


    ¡°Editor-in-chief, I hope you can take a look at this article, it¡¯s really fantastic! I swear on my honor!¡±


    Xavier saw the phone light up, noticing an email from ¡°Tang Sen¡± and couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit helpless.


    Xavier sighed, feeling truly helpless about this young man!


    However, she didn¡¯t want to disrupt her afternoon tea and closed the phone, continuing to sip her tea.


    The British like to drink their tea cup¡­ after cup¡­


    Who knows what time it will be by the time they¡¯re finished.


    Tang Sen rubbed his head, looking at the article in his hands, feeling quite annoyed!


    Tang Sen was Chinese, had studied for his medical doctorate in Britain, and after graduating under his mentor¡¯s recommendation, came to work at ¡°British Surgical Journal,¡± but he hadn¡¯t received much attention since then.


    Moreover, the most important thing was that the papers he selected were hardly ever accepted!


    This made Tang Sen very troubled.


    So much so that he was still toiling as an intern editor to this day.


    If he didn¡¯t achieve excellent results soon, he figured he wouldn¡¯t even get a formal offer.


    To obtain a formal offer earlier, Tang Sen naturally had to sacrifice his rest time to work and review articles.


    As a world-leading surgical system journal, ¡°British Surgical Journal¡± received many emails from all over the world every day.


    However, it was precisely because of this that Tang Sen caught sight of a submission from his homeland across the ocean earlier than others.


    During the time for afternoon tea, Tang Sen finished reading the article.


    But this article made Tang Sen¡¯s eyes light up!


    Because it was truly stellar!


    And highly topical.


    Last year, in the first half, ¡°British Surgical Journal¡± had just featured an article from Professor Austar of General Surgery at British Royal Brompton Hospital regarding research on the disadvantages and insufficiencies of laparoscopic appendectomy.


    The article caused quite a fluctuation in the impact factor of the issue of ¡°British Surgical Journal,¡± and Professor Austar¡¯s proposed minimally invasive appendectomy was becoming increasingly popular abroad.


    After all, such a traditional surgical method could minimize side effects and reduce harmful factors like abdominal adhesions that negatively impact recovery later on!


    The advantages of laparoscopic surgery were clear, but¡­ Austar believed, as long as laparoscopy was involved, the operation couldn¡¯t be called perfect.


    Yet for minimally invasive appendectomy, there were significant limitations, and it demanded a lot from the doctors.


    So, despite the high demand, after more than a year of development, the progress was minimal!


    So when Tang Sen saw this article, he sharp-wittedly captured this piece of information!


    He was surprised to find that a doctor named Chen Cang had actually improved the minimally invasive appendectomy technique.


    To others, this might be insignificant, but for ¡°British Surgical Journal¡± and Professor Austar at Royal Brompton Hospital, it was of extraordinary significance!


    It could even reignite the impact that the original minimally invasive appendectomy had made.


    Thinking of this, Tang Sen was naturally very excited; this could be the key to securing his offer!


    However, after waiting half the day, he realized that editor-in-chief George Xavier was still ignoring him, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.


    After all, when he first arrived, the editor-in-chief had been quite kind to him, but it seemed¡­ he really hadn¡¯t grasped the opportunity.


    But this time, it was his rare chance!


    With this thought, Tang Sen gritted his teeth and walked towards the place where George Xavier liked to have afternoon tea.


    ¡°Editor-in-chief, I hope you can take a look at this article, I believe it will catch your eye, it¡¯s an opportunity for our ¡®British Surgical Journal¡¯!¡±


    Xavier heaved a sigh, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that she and Tang Sen¡¯s teacher were classmates, she would have definitely kicked him out without any courtesy!


    With no other choice, he picked up the article and started to read.


    And as he read!


    Xavier¡¯s expression changed immediately, and he quickly dropped the careless demeanor he had just a moment ago and got serious!


    Half an hour later, Xavier finished reading the article!


    After finishing, Xavier¡¯s expression changed slightly, and looking at Tang Sen, he nodded approvingly and said, ¡°Not bad! If you find another excellent article, you must come to me!¡±


    ¡°Right, first send the author an acceptance notice!¡±


    Xavier stood up; there was no mood for afternoon tea anymore. She needed to contact Austar and discuss this article as quickly as possible.


    This truly was as important for appendix surgery as Tang Sen had said!


    After all, in earlier years, the West did not place much importance on the appendix, to the extent that many had their appendix removed in childhood to prevent future issues.


    It was precisely because of this that they placed greater emphasis on the technique of the surgery.


    Even though many studies have now found the appendix to be quite useful, the frequent occurrence of appendicitis has also led to increased attention to appendectomy, but this does not hinder research into appendix surgery!


    Naturally, Xavier was very excited!


    Seeing Tang Sen was about to hurry off, Xavier continued, ¡°By the way, you and the author should exchange contact information. I believe this is no small matter.¡±


    ¡°Also, waive the submission fee!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tang Sen¡¯s face turned excited!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After a tiring day, Chen Cang was truly fatigued; emergency rescue work really was not something just anyone could do.


    Otherwise, despite the good pay, no one would go to the emergency centers.


    Just the other day, Chen Cang saw that the capital¡¯s emergency center was hiring, offering locals of the capital settlement and a starting annual salary of above 200,000 yuan for postgraduates, which seemed like a rather tempting offer for a fresh graduate.


    However, after going there, those classmates of his unanimously stated that working 12 hours a day was the norm!


    They suddenly envied those working 996¡­


    Asleep in the middle of the night, suddenly a message notification sounded.


    Chen Cang instinctively opened his eyes.


    Looking at the bright light of the phone, he hesitated slightly.


    Over the years, Chen Cang had unwittingly developed a not-so-good habit of being a light sleeper.


    He would easily wake up at the slightest noise.


    Especially sensitive to the sound of phone rings.


    Looking at the bright phone screen, Chen Cang hesitated for a while, as the emergency department would definitely not send a message in the middle of the night; they would call instead.


    Groggy, he picked up his phone, swiped open the screen, and saw it was an email. But¡­ after seeing the content, Chen Cang had no more desire to sleep!


    It was an acceptance notice!


    An acceptance notice from the ¡°British Journal of Surgery¡±!


    Seeing the message, Chen Cang was extremely excited.


    He had thought that it might take several months to get any news, but to receive an acceptance notice so soon was thrilling!


    Generally speaking, with such high-ranking journals, the process of the first and second reviews is very complicated.


    And now, in just over half a month, it had already passed.

 Chapter 452 - Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Theres Not Enough Time!

    Chapter 452: Chapter 452: There¡¯s Not Enough Time!


    Moreover, Chen Cang unexpectedly saw an email address at the end, but it was a personal one!


    Chen Cang was slightly stunned for a moment, could it be¡­ did such a high-level article still need contact with an editor?


    As he thought about this, Chen Cang had not yet had the chance to respond when a strange email came with a string of messages in Chinese!


    ¡°Hello, Mr. Chen Cang, I¡¯m Tang Sen, the editor of ¡®British Journal of Surgery¡¯, nice to meet you, we will continue to communicate with you¡­¡±


    Chen Cang fell silent¡ªpersonal service from a high-end journal, and they even provided me with a Chinese editor¡­isn¡¯t that a bit too fancy?


    Thinking of ¡°Liver Transplantation,¡± Chen Cang shook his head and continued to sleep!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next morning, Chen Cang got up early, tidied up nicely, but there was only one little problem¡ªhis only suit was gone!


    It looked like he¡¯d have to wear casual clothes today.


    But it was just at that moment when there was a knock at the door.


    Chen Cang was slightly taken aback, who would be knocking this early?


    After he opened the door, he was immediately met by Qin Yue running in with a set of clothes!


    Chen Cang was instantly stunned.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were still sleeping?¡±


    Qin Yue chuckled, not saying a word, but simply opened her large tote and said, ¡°Hurry, try this on! See if it fits¡­¡±


    While speaking, she pulled out a suit from the garment bag, neatly arranged, along with a white shirt!


    Just like new.


    Chen Cang was immediately stunned, ¡°Where did you get these clothes?¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s face turned red, ¡°Don¡¯t ask, you¡¯re just wearing it for one day! Try it on first to see if it fits.¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly thought of something, ¡°You didn¡¯t take¡­ your dad¡¯s clothes, did you?¡±


    Qin Yue, caught out, gave an embarrassed smile, ¡°Anyway, he¡¯s not wearing it today. After you wear it, I¡¯ll wash it for him, and when we have time, I¡¯ll go with you to buy a new set!¡±


    Qin Yue was different from Chen Cang; she was detail-oriented and considered many things.


    Considering that a suit would definitely be needed today, but because it was too late last night,


    And seeing how tired Chen Cang was, she couldn¡¯t bear to take him shopping for clothes, nor did she want to buy a set randomly.


    Suddenly, she thought that Chen Cang could wear her dad¡¯s cashmere sweater; their body types were similar, so a suit should also fit.


    With that in mind, she exerted all sorts of diligence last night just to get the clothes.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Qin Xiaoyuan lay on the bed, taking the rare opportunity to rest for a day and sleep in.


    But¡­ thinking about Qin Yue¡¯s strange movements just now, Old Qin suddenly became curious and quickly asked:


    ¡°Wife, when did I wear that suit? I don¡¯t remember it being dirty.¡±


    Ji Ruyun also frowned, ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. I remember you only wore that suit once, that was when you went to a meeting in the capital this year, other times¡­I don¡¯t remember.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan laughed, ¡°Ah¡­ really, the girl¡¯s grown up, understanding enough to go wash clothes for me!¡±


    Ji Ruyun laughed and said, ¡°Look how pleased you are! She took it to the dry cleaners! I¡¯ve been washing your clothes for a lifetime without complaining.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan smiled slightly, turned around, and embraced Ji Ruyun, saying with a laugh, ¡°The heavens have not treated me poorly, giving me such a beautiful wife and a sensible daughter, and¡­ a promising, bright young son-in-law!¡±


    ¡°Where did all my luck come from?¡±


    Ji Ruyun, seeing Qin Xiaoyuan so smug, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Everyone says I bring luck to my husband! You should be thankful to me!¡±


    ¡°Speaking of which, what happened to Xiao Chen again? Tell me about it.¡±


    Upon hearing news about Chen Cang, Ji Ruyun was very curious, and promptly asked.


    Qin Xiaoyuan then recounted the events of the previous day, from the emergency treatment to the evening¡¯s group critique!


    Ji Ruyun listened with great excitement!


    After Qin Xiaoyuan finished, he sighed, ¡°Ah, my satisfaction with this young man just keeps growing.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue, ¡°Turn around!¡±


    Qin Yue suddenly laughed. ¡°I don¡¯t mind, so why are you feeling shy?¡±


    Chen Cang immediately felt awkward. This kind of situation, with a man and woman alone in a room, could easily lead to trouble!


    But seeing the mischievous look on Qin Yue¡¯s face, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    He directly stripped off his clothes and pants¡­


    Qin Yue wanted to turn around, but that would seem like chickening out.


    She, the great Qin someone, dares to do all kinds of outrageous things, so how could she be afraid of watching someone change clothes?


    However, upon seeing Chen Cang¡­ Qin Yue¡¯s face turned crimson, and her breathing quickened!


    This Chen Cang is so shameless!


    He¡¯s actually changing¡­


    Chen Cang, feeling Qin Yue¡¯s gaze, also felt a tingling sensation inside, as certain things began to get restless. It seemed to shift from manual operation to an automatic response¡­


    After Qin Yue saw this, her eyes widened!


    She even found breathing difficult!


    Chen Cang immediately got up and pulled Qin Yue into his arms.


    As Qin Yue was pulled in by Chen Cang, she suddenly felt her heart pounding rapidly, her face burning hot.


    Chen Cang, to tell the truth, was getting aroused.


    Towards Qin Yue¡­


    Qin Yue felt she was losing control as well.


    Their hands¡­ started to wander.


    Just as the situation was about to escalate further, the phone suddenly rang.


    The two of them froze.


    Qin Yue quickly picked up the phone, only to see it was Qin Xiaoyuan calling.


    Qin Yue quickly calmed her emotions and answered, ¡°Hello, Daddy? What¡¯s up?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan said with a laugh, ¡°My girl, when you dry clean that shirt, remember¡­ also, I sent you a red envelope on WeChat, you don¡¯t make much money. Don¡¯t you pay for the laundry. Come back late tonight, and have a nice meal with little Chen!¡±


    ¡°And don¡¯t always spend Chen¡¯s money, be good. Our daughter should be independent, and if you¡¯re short of money, ask Dad for it.¡±


    With that, he hung up the phone.


    The call interrupted the two, and they were left feeling awkward¡­


    Qin Yue looked at the time, it was seven o¡¯clock. She stared at Chen Cang, her face reddening, and said, ¡°Uh¡­ there¡¯s not enough time. You better get dressed quickly, tidy up, and get going.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, but then paused!


    That¡¯s not right?


    The meeting is at eight thirty, it¡¯s now seven, it takes twenty minutes to get there, minus all the miscellaneous time, there¡¯s still over fifty minutes¡­


    Xiao Qin, are¡­ your standards too high?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva and silently thought to himself, seems like I need to keep fit in the future.


    No, wait¡­


    Is exercise really useful?


    What I need is a gemstone to boost my endurance¡­


    Otherwise¡­


    I won¡¯t be able to serve Qin Xiaotian.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Looking at Qin Yue, his eyes had changed, as if she had turned into a demoness with a whip in hand¡­


    Chen Cang felt a chill run down his spine¡­


    Because of Qin Xiaotian¡¯s words, Chen Cang felt a great psychological pressure and burden throughout the journey.


    Qin Yue, thinking he was nervous, comforted him, ¡°No pressure! You¡¯re the best!¡±


    ¡­

 Chapter 453 - Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Cunning and Sly?

    Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Cunning and Sly?


    In the vast conference hall, Chen Cang, clad in the attire sponsored by Qin Xiaoyuan, didn¡¯t feel a hint of panic!


    After all, he had the blessing of his father-in-law.


    The expectations of his wife¡¯s entire family rested on his shoulders; today, he definitely had to put on a good performance.


    He looked up to see Qin Yue, graceful in her cheongsam, and immediately felt an intense regret!


    But¡­ thinking about Xiao Qin¡¯s fifty minutes, Chen Cang felt the pressure was immense.


    It had been a long while since he took the stage seriously. He needed to polish his skills thoroughly, or he¡¯d really get rusty!


    After all, last-minute preparations have their shine, even if not at their quickest!


    Chen Cang, phone in hand, kept rehearsing his lines, honing his speech delivery, cramming like a last-minute fervent prayer. (Just now his thoughts strayed, prompting a three-minute self-reflection)


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After making lunch for Qin Xiaoyuan, Ji Ruyun, with nothing better to do at home, lay on the sofa utterly bored.


    Looking at the wrinkles on her face in the Mirror, she suddenly said, ¡°Old Qin, how much money do you think would be appropriate to give little Chen for plastic surgery?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan smiled slightly, ¡°Whatever the amount should be, that¡¯s what it is. Besides, they¡¯re not even married yet, and you want a bargain? Moreover¡­ whether the money goes to Chen Cang or our daughter, what¡¯s the difference?¡±


    Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes at his response, this old fox, such a sly one!


    Ji Ruyun shook her head, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s not what I meant. Forget it, you wouldn¡¯t understand even if I explained!¡±


    After they tidied up, Ji Ruyun sighed, ¡°Ah, once the girl is married off, how dull will it be for just the two of us at home? I¡¯m about to retire soon too, I need to find something to do, right?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly paused what he was doing and turned to look at Ji Ruyun, ¡°Eh? Wife, how about we go to the hepatobiliary surgery symposium today?¡±


    Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes again, ¡°Are you crazy? It¡¯s the weekend, a time to rest, and you want to attend a symposium.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan hurried to sit down beside the sofa, ¡°No, let¡¯s go see Qin Yue and little Chen, don¡¯t you want to see your daughter hosting? Aren¡¯t you anticipating little Chen¡¯s speech at the podium?¡±


    Persuaded by Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s words, Ji Ruyun¡¯s eyes lit up!


    Yes!


    Great idea!


    Thinking this, Ji Ruyun planted a peck on Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s cheek, ¡°Husband, you¡¯re sly and shrewd!¡±


    After saying this, she hurriedly got up to start tidying her makeup.


    Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyuan sat on the sofa, even though praised by his wife and receiving a gift¡­ he couldn¡¯t help feeling it wasn¡¯t exactly a compliment.


    Sly and shrewd?


    No matter how he saw it, Qin Xiaoyuan felt that these words sounded more like negative criticism!


    In a rush, the couple got ready and set off.


    Compared to Old Qin, Ji Ruyun was very excited, insisting that Old Qin carry the camera and take a good number of photos.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At half-past eight, Zhang Youfu, as one of the conference¡¯s organizers, took the stage to begin his speech.


    This conference had invited various department heads and experts in hepatobiliary surgery from within Dongyang province, as well as some experts from the capital.


    Each annual conference actually needs to be sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, after all, it¡¯s also a costly event.


    The fees for these experts to give lectures range from 3,000 to 5,000, depending on their academic status. Generally, the price for a national-renowned doctor¡¯s lecture is around 5,000, and for academicians, the price might be even higher.


    Moreover, besides the lecture fees, the hotel arrangements usually involve presidential suites, costing tens of thousands for one day. After all, some of these big shots are quite old and need to bring assistants with them.


    Consequently, the cost of an annual conference increases significantly.


    However, pharmaceutical companies don¡¯t really care about this amount of money. Furthermore, when it comes to sponsoring such conferences, there¡¯s a scramble to offer support. If you don¡¯t have sufficient status, you won¡¯t even qualify for the privilege to sponsor!


    For pharmaceutical companies, sponsoring such highly specialized official annual conferences is also an exceedingly important marketing opportunity.


    After all, mentioning that your medication sponsored the Hepatobiliary Surgery Annual Conference of Dongyang Province signifies recognition, which is highly beneficial for future promotion.


    ¡­


    After Zhang Youfu finished his opening speech, he began to introduce today¡¯s guests.


    Due to Chen Cang¡¯s uniqueness, he was arranged to be the first one.


    Zhang Youfu said with a smile, ¡°Let¡¯s welcome Chen Cang to the stage with a round of applause.¡±


    After Chen Cang came up and bowed to the audience, he didn¡¯t engage in too many cumbersome procedures and directly started today¡¯s topic.


    ¡°Today, I will share two surgical techniques I have improved myself, hoping to inspire all of you.¡±


    ¡°The first one is an improved technique for minimally invasive appendectomy. Over the years, the appendix¡­¡±


    Chen Cang began to speak eloquently, and the expressions of those below varied.


    Some were attentive, while others didn¡¯t give it much thought.


    After all, in many people¡¯s eyes, appendectomy, the most basic surgical procedure, doesn¡¯t seem to have much value for improvement, and nowadays, large hospitals use laparoscopy anyway. Who would bother with a small incision?


    But it meant different things to different people!


    For those county-level hospitals that haven¡¯t popularized laparoscopic surgeries, they were suddenly all ears upon seeing this procedure. Their thoughts, just like Duan Bo from Lan County People¡¯s Hospital, were that they could compensate for the shortcomings brought about by the lack of advanced laparoscopic techniques!


    And moreover, the cost for a small incision is at least half that of laparoscopy!


    This is very appealing to the ordinary people.


    Therefore, after Chen Cang finished talking about the first surgical technique, the audience¡¯s reactions were mixed.


    And to be honest, many looked at Chen Cang, a young fellow who improved a surgical procedure, with skepticism, questioning the effectiveness of his improvements.


    Everyone might consider Chen Cang¡¯s ideas, but they wouldn¡¯t necessarily fully esteem them.


    After Chen Cang finished, he projected a photo onto the screen and said, ¡°This article has just been accepted by the ¡®British Journal of Surgery¡¯. Here is the acceptance notice, and it may not be long before you can search for it online. In fact, the continuous refinement of the small incision complements the laparoscopic surgeries.¡±


    ¡°The advantages of laparoscopic surgery are indisputable, but its shortcomings are also quite obvious. For appendectomy, the small incision approach can meet the advantages of laparoscopy and also make up for its deficiencies. It has its value. Now Director Duan and I have been clinically applying the improved minimally invasive appendectomy technique for some time, and the results are very clear.¡±


    Duan Bo, listening below, was thrilled!


    After all, being involved in such a project was highly fulfilling,


    And when he heard Chen Cang announce that the article was published in the ¡®British Journal of Surgery¡¯, he was absolutely astounded!


    And when he saw his own name as the first author on the acceptance notice, he was beyond excited!


    What merits did he, Duan Bo, have?


    He achieved something even the directors of provincial-level hospitals couldn¡¯t: publishing in one of the world¡¯s top journals.


    Looking at Chen Cang again, Duan Bo¡¯s eyes were filled with gratitude.

 Chapter 454 - Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Looks familiar...

    Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Looks familiar¡­


    As soon as Chen Cang¡¯s voice trailed off, the group that had been discussing his improved surgical method were suddenly dumbfounded!


    Is¡­ is that true?


    It had actually been accepted by the ¡°British Journal of Surgery¡±!


    For a moment, everyone¡¯s gaze shifted.


    They suddenly regretted not listening carefully just now.


    Chen Cang was so young, yet he was able to improve an appendectomy and get it published in the ¡°British Journal of Surgery¡±.


    It was no longer just an honor.


    And below, those doctors from grassroots hospitals, who were able to attend the Hepatobiliary Surgery Annual Conference, were generally at the level of department heads or deputy heads.


    On hearing this news, their eyes suddenly filled with fervor!


    This surgery was extremely useful for their grassroots hospitals!


    After all, with the continuous implementation of the three-tier healthcare system, small surgeries like appendectomies were the most common in grassroots hospitals. If they could promote such a ¡°cost-effective¡± procedure, it would definitely be great for the public!


    And at this moment, their gaze towards Duan Bo was filled with envy!


    Duan Bo could be said to be the first beneficiary, and he could participate as the first author and get it published in the ¡°British Journal of Surgery¡±.


    Everyone was filled with envy. For Duan Bo¡¯s future career, ascending to the position of a deputy hospital director was definitely no issue.


    Having such academic accomplishments in a grassroots hospital was advantageous whether it was for applying for professional titles or anything else.


    They all made up their minds that once the conference ended, they would definitely get Chen Cang¡¯s contact information to stay in touch, then invite him to their hospitals to give lectures and demonstrate this minimally invasive appendectomy technique.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Exactly at this moment, Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun came in. They sat in the back row and just happened to overhear several directors from grassroots hospitals talking behind them.


    ¡°So impressive!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, how young is Doctor Chen Cang, and he has such great ability. His future is boundless.¡±


    ¡°Exactly, there aren¡¯t many talents like him in Dongyang Province.¡±


    ¡­


    Listening to the praises for Chen Cang, Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun¡¯s vanity suddenly swelled.


    This feeling was even better than being praised themselves!


    They felt delighted inside.


    Qin Xiaoyuan quickly took out his phone and snapped a photo of Chen Cang, perfectly capturing the acceptance notice.


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Ji Ruyun in shock and said, ¡°Wife, look, your daughter has another top-tier paper!¡±


    Ji Ruyun was startled and took the camera to look closely, immediately inhaling sharply.


    ¡°Corresponding author: Chen Cang; First authors: Qin Yue, Duan Bo, Li Baoshan.¡±


    Then Ji Ruyun was momentarily stunned, suddenly remembering that Qin Yue seemed busy with organizing materials during that period.


    Her bedroom was overflowing with them.


    Now it made sense!


    She was helping Chen Cang organize materials¡­


    But just for that, Qin Yue could be the first author?


    Ji Ruyun understood that Chen Cang must have had thoughts about Qin Yue for a long time.


    Two top-tier SCI papers, a guaranteed domestic doctoral recommendation spots for sure.


    And what was key, both papers were directly related to Qin Yue¡¯s field of expertise.


    With this thought, Ji Ruyun took a deep breath.


    Chen Cang really was¡­ oh¡­


    Originally, she thought Chen Cang had gotten the better end of the deal¡­


    But now it seemed like Qin Yue was the one who had really struck it lucky.


    Chen Cang was a potential stock with real value.


    No, after getting back, she had to have a good talk with Yueyue, she must try her best to get along well with Chen Cang!


    Qin Xiaoyuan also took a deep breath. Chen Cang was truly beyond reproach towards Qin Yue.


    These two papers were more than enough for a bridal gift.


    This made Old Qin suddenly feel pressure; what should he give when his daughter gets married?


    Ji Ruyun handed the camera to Qin Xiaoyuan, her face serious as she looked at Old Qin: ¡°Little Chen is really good, isn¡¯t he?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded.


    Ji Ruyun suddenly turned her head and stared at Qin Xiaoyuan, saying, ¡°Look at you! And then look at him?¡±


    ¡°When little Chen was dating, he published two top SCI papers for Yueyue. When we were dating, I had to write your papers for you, Qin Xiaoyuan, Qin Xiaoyuan, I¡¯m becoming less and less impressed with you!¡±


    Old Qin was utterly bewildered. What does this have to do with me?


    Who did I provoke?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang continued to start on the next topic, ¡°Next, is the research on minimally invasive surgery with a small incision under endoscopy, which is also a new surgical technique, or maybe it¡¯s more appropriate to call it a minor skill, that I developed.¡±


    ¡°By the way, I should mention that this new technique has already been published in ¡®Liver Transplantation.¡¯ Those who are interested can go online to check it out, maybe you¡¯ll find it.¡±


    When everyone heard this, they fell silent.


    One paper in the ¡®British Journal of Surgery,¡¯ another in ¡®Liver Transplantation,¡¯ two improved surgical techniques.


    With such achievements, let alone being a director at the Dongyang Provincial Surgical Annual Conference, he was even qualified to be a vice-chairman, right?


    If it weren¡¯t for Chen Cang¡¯s lack of seniority, someone in their forties would already qualify for a vice-chairmanship.


    Thus, everyone listened very attentively to Chen Cang¡¯s subsequent lecture.


    No one dared to underestimate Chen Cang anymore.


    Furthermore, when Chen Cang displayed the photos, people truly understood the difference.


    The wound was really hard to locate; if Chen Cang hadn¡¯t pointed it out, it¡¯s possible no one would have found it.


    This kind of technique truly had a visible, remarkable effect.


    And at this time, several people in the audience were blushing to their ears!


    A group was from the Second Provincial Hospital, doctors who were frustrated at Chen Cang¡¯s lack of progress!


    Then there was Xu Wenbin, Deputy Director of General Surgery at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, who suddenly remembered the assessment at the Second Provincial Hospital back then.


    He was assessing Wang Yong at the time.


    When Wang Yong recommended Chen Cang, Xu Wenbin didn¡¯t pay attention!


    Who would have thought¡­ Chen Cang was actually this impressive.


    For a moment, Xu Wenbin¡¯s face went beet red, he had made the elementary mistake of judging a book by its cover!


    Thinking this, Xu Wenbin felt extremely ashamed.


    Meanwhile, Liu Siqi, the Deputy Director of Hepatobiliary Surgery, who was also the Vice-President and acted as the head of Hepatobiliary Surgery at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, looked on with emotion!


    He and Tan Zhonglin had been invited to the Second Provincial Hospital by Zhang Keqin and had seen Chen Cang performing sutures for the detective, Wu Gang.


    They were quite taken with this young man at the time.


    But¡­


    At that time, they really should have made an effort. If they had invited Chen Cang to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, this honor would have been theirs.


    Frankly, they weren¡¯t determined enough!


    Back then, Chen Cang was still a temporary worker, the opportunity was significant.


    Liu Siqi was also present during the subsequent assessment for a permanent position.


    By then, he realized it was too late, and the Second Provincial Hospital was already valuing Chen Cang highly.


    And now, Liu Siqi sighed with regret. If he and Tan Zhonglin had bitten the bullet back then and decided to poach Chen Cang for the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital with a permanent position, there¡­ might have been a chance!


    But now, there was definitely no chance.


    At this moment, Chen Cang had already begun to grow.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this time, Ji Ruyun looked at Chen Cang and suddenly found him somewhat familiar¡­


    After a while, Ji Ruyun finally realized and turned to Old Qin, saying, ¡°Old Qin, look at the clothes little Chen is wearing!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was startled, ¡°Huh, pretty handsome! The kid has good taste!¡±


    Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes, ¡°I¡¯m asking you to look at the clothes, don¡¯t they¡­ seem a bit familiar?¡±


    Upon hearing this from Ji Ruyun, Qin Xiaoyuan immediately frowned slightly, ¡°Eh? They do seem a bit familiar, where have I seen them before¡­?¡±


    Suddenly, Old Qin slapped his thigh and his expression changed!


    Could it be¡­


    ¡­

    ps: Thank you to the QQ reading platform user ¡°Zhao Yu¡­ Zhao Chenjie¡± for the 40,000 reward, thank you boss¡­

 Chapter 455 - Chapter 455: Chapter 455: I Confess!

    Chapter 455: Chapter 455: I Confess!


    Old Qin was furious the moment he saw the clothes¡ªhis scalp tingled with rage!


    That rascal, wasn¡¯t he wearing his suit?


    This suit was the only luxury brand one Old Qin had, and he had bought it grimacing in financial pain, specifically for the occasion when he was rewarded with an allowance from the State Council!


    At the time, it truly pained Old Qin¡¯s heart for a long while!


    After coming back, he never had the heart to wear it once.


    He had it neatly arranged and well-kept in the closet!


    He never imagined that the suit he couldn¡¯t bear to wear would be on that rascal, and thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyuan was too choked with anger to vent his frustration.


    He was about to turn around and give Ji Ruyun a piece of his mind, to see how she had spoiled her daughter.


    But as he turned his head, he suddenly noticed Ji Ruyun¡¯s face wearing a smile full of appreciation.


    Seeing Qin Xiaoyuan turn around, Ji Ruyun suddenly said with a smile, ¡°Old Qin, look, that¡¯s your suit!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded dully: ¡°I can see that!¡±


    Ji Ruyun chuckled and said, ¡°Tsk tsk, it¡¯s really true that clothes make the man. I¡¯m used to seeing Chen Cang in casual wear, but this suit really makes him look spirited and imposing!¡±


    ¡°In my opinion, this suit looks much more handsome on him than on you!¡±


    As Ji Ruyun laughed and spoke, little did she know that Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s twelve cranial nerves were involuntarily twitching!


    It was infuriating!


    How intolerable!


    Chen Cang, you little thief, I¡­.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was envisaging how to deal with Chen Cang when he saw Ji Ruyun suddenly turn around, her eyes smiling as she stared at Old Qin:


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you angry?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan snorted coldly, his expression speaking volumes!


    Ji Ruyun laughed: ¡°Come on, it¡¯s not like Chen Cang deliberately wore your clothes. If you want to blame someone, blame your daughter.¡±


    As soon as he heard ¡®daughter,¡¯ Qin Xiaoyuan instantly deflated!


    He argued, ¡°How would I not know my own daughter? She must have been led astray by that boy! Yueyue is so sensible.¡±


    Ji Ruyun was amused by Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s denial: ¡°Alright, alright, can¡¯t you be a bit more magnanimous?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a suit. We can go buy another one another day. Besides, Chen Cang only borrowed it to wear for a day out of emergency. Look at you being so stingy, and you¡¯re still a dean at that.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan could not help but sigh.


    Ah, you can guard against anything but a thief within your own household!


    Seeing his daughter on stage in a cheongsam, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t get angry.


    He just sighed, alas¡­ A grown daughter can¡¯t be kept at home, her elbows are already turned outwards.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang was feeling anxious on stage.


    After all¡­ only after enhancing his sight by fifty percent could he see his future father-in-law and mother-in-law from afar!


    This made Chen Cang feel extremely uneasy!


    He knew this suit was stealthily taken by Qin Yue for him to wear.


    He hoped Dean Qin wouldn¡¯t notice the familiar suit.


    After finishing his speech, Chen Cang hurried off the stage, grabbed two bottles of water from the front, and brought them to Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun.


    Seeing Chen Cang approaching, Ji Ruyun beamed like a flower. After all, the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she is supposed to become fond of him.


    Although Qin Xiaoyuan was unhappy at heart, just as Ji Ruyun had said, he didn¡¯t blame Chen Cang. Instead, he forced a smile and nodded his head.


    After delivering the water, Chen Cang hurriedly left, pondering to himself, ¡°The dean must not have noticed I¡¯m wearing his clothes!¡±


    The morning went by quite quickly, and with its end, the annual meeting was officially over.


    The arrival of Qin Xiaoyuan had clearly impressed Qian Liang, Zhang Youfu, and others; their spirits lifted upon seeing him.


    As the meeting came to an end, many came over to greet and inquire after him.


    Qian Liang said with a smile, ¡°Dean Qin, I admire you more and more now. The development of the Second Provincial Hospital is truly booming, especially in nurturing the new generation of talent¡ªit¡¯s really quite impressive!¡±


    ¡°Just look at little Chen, what a splendid young man. Wearing formal attire suits him so well¡ªit makes him look sharp and handsome!¡± Qian Liang was unstinting in his praise for Chen Cang. ¡°If only my daughter weren¡¯t already married. Otherwise, I would definitely matchmake you two!¡±


    Everyone laughed upon hearing this, and Liu Siqi too smiled and nodded, ¡°Exactly, now I regret not having poached little Chen earlier. Otherwise, all these honors could have been ours at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.¡±


    ¡°Dean Qin, this year your hospital¡¯s research score will surely meet the standard. By the end of the year, your ranking might even climb higher.¡±


    Listening, Qin Xiaoyuan basked in delight. The praises heaped on Chen Cang brought joy to his heart. At that moment, he suddenly felt¡­ wearing his clothes wasn¡¯t such an issue.


    He even felt prouder!


    After all, he had bought those clothes!


    His daughter was born to him.


    His daughter had lent the clothes to Chen Cang.


    It was equivalent to him buying the clothes for Chen Cang.


    So this honor was his too!


    Thinking this way, old Qin suddenly felt at peace. Chen Cang, wearing the outfit he had ¡°bought,¡± went on stage to compete and win honors¡ªa portion of which was Qin¡¯s own.


    Old Qin suddenly felt an added luster to his face.


    He joined in, laughing and agreeing.


    Zhou Hongguang looked at Chen Cang with a smile, ¡°Little Chen, come to the 301 Hospital when you¡¯re free for some training. Young people ought to work hard. By the way, my daughter studies law. I¡¯ll introduce you two someday.¡±


    Chen Cang just smiled, ¡°Thank you, Director Zhou.¡±


    Meanwhile, hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s eyes narrowed in the realization!


    This Zhou character has ill intentions¡­


    No, no, need to arrange an engagement sooner rather than later.


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan, as if facing a great enemy, warmly saw off Zhou Hongguang.


    After everyone had left, Qin Yue changed clothes and ran over, asking with a happy face, ¡°Dad, Mom, how did you come to be here?¡±


    Inside, Qin Xiaoyuan thought: If I hadn¡¯t come, how would I have known that this little ¡°house thief¡± washed and handed your dad¡¯s clothes to someone else? Are you telling me that it¡¯s from hanging out the laundry?


    Glancing over, Ji Ruyun smiled and said, ¡°We were bored at home today, so your father and I decided to come out and see how you all were doing.¡±


    After saying this, Ji Ruyun sized up Chen Cang, ¡°Little Chen, you are truly amazing, exceptionally talented.¡±


    Chen Cang, hearing this, smiled awkwardly, still planning to come clean to Dean Qin, and tell the whole truth.


    ¡°Thank you for the compliment, Auntie.¡±


    ¡°Dean Qin, there¡¯s something for which I owe you an apology.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan was momentarily taken aback. What else has this kid done to wrong me?


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Chen Cang with a very kind smile, ¡°Oh? Let¡¯s hear it.¡±


    Seeing that Dean Qin wasn¡¯t angry, Chen Cang said, ¡°I only have one suit, and it got covered in blood while I was saving a patient yesterday. I couldn¡¯t wear it, and last night there was no time to buy a new one, so¡­ I borrowed and wore your clothes. Rest assured¡­ I will take it to the dry cleaners as soon as I get back, and have it cleaned thoroughly.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh.

 Chapter 456 - Chapter 456: Chapter 456: What Stimulated You?

    Chapter 456: Chapter 456: What Stimulated You?


    Qin Xiaoyuan wasn¡¯t angry, just somewhat helpless!


    And his helplessness was solely due to his own daughter, having nothing to do with Chen Cang.


    Qin Xiaoyuan knew Chen Cang wasn¡¯t capable of such a thing, and definitely wouldn¡¯t take it upon himself to decide that.


    Chen Cang saying so surely meant he was taking the blame for Qin Yue!


    Upon realizing this, Qin Xiaoyuan not only didn¡¯t get angry but couldn¡¯t help feeling happy.


    After all, it showed that Chen Cang was responsible and reliable, knowing to protect Qin Yue.


    Quite the man!


    Don¡¯t we parents understand our own daughter?


    Ji Ruyun couldn¡¯t help smiling at Chen Cang either.


    This young man, the more she looked, the better he seemed, not only capable but also of good character.


    However, Qin Yue, the mad protector of her husband, didn¡¯t take kindly to these words and quickly said, ¡°Dad, Mom, this wasn¡¯t Chen Cang¡¯s idea, don¡¯t blame him!¡±


    ¡°It was me, I saw that Chen Cang couldn¡¯t wear his clothes from yesterday, and since he had been busy all day and was extremely tired, I let him rest early and didn¡¯t accompany him to buy clothes. I thought to borrow yours for him to wear first, and then we¡¯d go buy some¡­¡±


    Unable to hide his amusement, Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not angry, clothes can¡¯t be worn out. Besides, Chen looks quite fitting in these clothes!¡±


    ¡°You girl, just say what you want, could your dad not give it to you? Look at you sneaking around!¡±


    As soon as Qin Yue heard that, she immediately burst into giggles.


    The reason Old Qin didn¡¯t offer to give the clothes to Chen Cang wasn¡¯t because he grudged them, but because it wasn¡¯t appropriate.


    It might have been okay if he hadn¡¯t worn them, but since he had, he was worried about what Chen Cang might think.


    After all, Qin Xiaoyuan had been a leader all his life and tended to think more thoroughly.


    Seeing that her parents weren¡¯t angry, Qin Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, ¡°Dad, actually, with Chen Cang wearing this jacket, it¡¯s rather like adding luster to your clothes! Don¡¯t you think? Now, this jacket even has a special significance.¡±


    Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun couldn¡¯t help but break into laughter.


    At noon, instead of dining at the hotel, the four of them found a nice restaurant after heading out, with Old Qin playing host to the meal.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The addition of Chen Cang seemed to liven up this family of three.


    However, Chen Cang suddenly remembered that in a little while it would be his mother¡¯s birthday.


    Once he had a moment to swap shifts, Chen Cang decided he¡¯d take Qin Yue home for a visit to celebrate his mother¡¯s birthday.


    In the past couple of years, he had been so busy that it was simply impossible to find time, and as a newcomer, he hadn¡¯t felt comfortable asking others to switch shifts, often ending up covering for them instead.


    Provincial Second Hospital wasn¡¯t a particularly prestigious hospital, and Qin Xiaoyuan, in an effort to improve service quality and increase patient numbers, had implemented a no-holiday policy, with basically a rotating schedule during holidays to ensure staff was always on duty.


    However, the next Monday, the group of people hired for the emergency department was set to begin, and perhaps it wouldn¡¯t be so busy anymore.


    Chen Dahai liked to put on a show, and Chen Cang planned to buy a nice car in a couple of days, to take his beautiful daughter-in-law home and give his old man a good look.


    Although Chen Cang couldn¡¯t yet say he was without financial worry, he could still come up with several million. His thought was to invite his parents to An Yang for retirement later.


    It¡¯s not that the village was bad, but it just couldn¡¯t meet the medical needs.


    Bringing the old couple out now would certainly meet with reluctance, as they were used to village life.


    The meal lasted until two o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Afterward, Qin Yue went shopping with Chen Cang.


    Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun went back home.


    With a teasing expression, Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°Come back late, take your time strolling.¡±


    In the afternoon, Qin Yue accompanied Chen Cang to the mall to buy some clothes for the changing season.


    Chen Cang¡¯s previous clothing choices had been relatively sporty and casual; Qin Yue helped him pick some slightly more mature attire.


    They then purchased a suit, shirt, belt, leather shoes, and a tie.


    A man, after he got a girlfriend, found life suddenly full of flavor.


    Even shopping for clothes was filled with zest.


    Burdened with bags from the mall, Chen Cang informed Qin Yue that he had decisively decided to head home.


    ¡°My mom¡¯s birthday is next month, and I was thinking we could both keep her company. I haven¡¯t really celebrated her birthday with her for so many years,¡± Chen Cang said.


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue was both shocked and delighted!


    After all, meeting the mother-in-law would naturally bring some nerves.


    But alongside the nerves, Qin Yue also held a glimmer of hope.


    Because to meet the mother-in-law was to seek approval, and Qin Yue suddenly became a bit anxious.


    Seeing Qin Yue silent, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t want to go?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue hurriedly replied, ¡°I do! It¡¯s just¡­ I¡¯m a bit nervous.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, ¡°My mom has always been hoping I¡¯d find someone and settle down. She¡¯d definitely be happy you came, so what¡¯s there to be nervous about!¡±


    Qin Yue took Chen Cang¡¯s hand, took a deep breath, looked down, and said with a downcast face, ¡°I¡¯m afraid your mom won¡¯t like me. I¡¯m clumsy, the food I make isn¡¯t tasty, I can¡¯t sew clothes, and I¡¯m not good at household chores¡­¡±


    ¡°But I¡¯ll learn!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll brush up on my cooking skills in this period of time. I¡¯ll make something delicious for Uncle and Auntie when I get home!¡±


    Chen Cang, seeing Qin Yue¡¯s silly demeanor, couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh.


    ¡°Both my dad and mom are chefs, so you don¡¯t need to cook!¡± Chen Cang said with a smile, ¡°They¡¯ll be thrilled to have you.¡±


    Qin Yue shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s different. It¡¯s true Uncle and Auntie can cook, but¡­ I need to learn. I can¡¯t let them cook all the time!¡±


    With that, Qin Yue resolved to secretly study cooking when she got back home.


    After all, she was so good at cutting meat, often performing appendectomies and cholecystectomies; she surely had a knack for chopping vegetables!


    Thinking this, Qin Yue decided she would go home and ask her mom for some tips.


    With a plan in mind, she lost interest in continuing the shopping spree.


    Suddenly feeling burdened, Qin Yue decided to skip dinner that evening and resolved to go home and make her first meal.


    And she promised not to let Chen Cang eat, as she would bring something to him later!


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, finding the situation both sad and amusing.


    But seeing Qin Yue so earnest, he had no choice but to let her go ahead!


    Chen Cang thought, even if it tasted awful, it shouldn¡¯t be too bad. After all, he wasn¡¯t picky about food.


    Once home, Chen Cang changed his clothes and took them to the dry cleaners, making sure to give specific instructions.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Qin Yue rushed back home, afraid her parents might have started cooking.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was surprised to see Qin Yue home so early, ¡°Why are you back already, your mom and I haven¡¯t started cooking.¡±


    Relieved, Qin Yue beamed at her father, ¡°Dad, Mom, you¡¯ve worked hard today, let me cook the meal!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyun and Qin Xiaoyuan exchanged a glance.


    Full of disbelief!


    This was unheard of¡­ surely a first, right?


    Had Qin Yue ever cooked at home before?


    The couple looked uneasily at Qin Yue, wondering what had gotten into their daughter!


    ps: There¡¯s more to come, I¡¯m checking for typos. Actually, I always check several times myself, but I just can¡¯t spot them¡­

 Chapter 457 - Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Give Chen Cang a Call!

    Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Give Chen Cang a Call!


    Watching Qin Yue bustling about, Ji Ruyun felt somewhat anxious.


    She wanted to help, but Qin Yue pushed her out of the kitchen!


    For a moment, Ji Ruyun and Qin Xiaoyuan both sat on the sofa, their faces filled with confusion¡­


    What in the world happened to make this girl act this way?


    Let¡¯s not talk about whether the food tastes good or not¡­


    Their first concern was whether this girl needed some medicine¡­


    Old Qin looked at Ji Ruyun, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Ji Ruyun glared back, ¡°How would I know? If you ask me, then who should I ask?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly said, ¡°You should ask Chen Cang! It must be related to that kid, otherwise why would Yueyue act like she¡¯s lost her mind and dash straight into the kitchen as soon as she got back?¡±


    Ji Ruyun immediately brightened up at this, it must definitely have something to do with Chen Cang!


    ¡°I don¡¯t have Xiao Chen¡¯s WeChat!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan also realized that he didn¡¯t have it either, did he?


    No, this won¡¯t do. When we go to the hospital tomorrow, we must add Chen Cang on WeChat.


    But then Ji Ruyun thought for a second and suddenly said, ¡°Actually¡­ this isn¡¯t such a bad thing, learning to cook is quite good! After all, they can¡¯t always order takeout every day, it¡¯s not clean.¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s talent was also decent, especially with so many online tutorials available.


    She stir-fried a few homely dishes, at least they looked the part.


    Qin Yue tasted them herself, and the flavor was quite alright.


    She decisively packed up a meal box for Chen Cang, got ready, and left, saying, ¡°Mom and Dad, you guys eat, I¡¯m going to have dinner with Chen Cang.¡±


    The two exchanged glances and both sighed!


    The power of love, truly was too strong.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Not long after Qin Yue left, the two of them ate the dishes she had made, which were not bad and had a decent appearance.


    However, at that moment the phone rang.


    Seeing it was her own phone, Ji Ruyun picked it up and saw it was the former leader!


    Ji Ruyun quickly answered the call, ¡°Hello? Ex-leader, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The voice on the other side was that of a middle-aged man.


    ¡°Sister Ji, this is Huang Weiyi.¡±


    Ji Ruyun, ¡°Oh! Weiyi, is something wrong?¡±


    Huang Weiyi¡¯s voice sounded worried, ¡°Sister, it¡¯s like this, my dad felt a tightness in his chest while eating today, and he vomited a bit with some blood in it!¡±


    ¡°Then I noticed his stool was a bit black! I¡¯m a little worried¡­ Could there be something wrong!¡±


    Although Huang Weiyi wasn¡¯t from a medical background, with information so readily available nowadays, and his father being over seventy, suddenly having gastrointestinal bleeding was certainly alarming!


    He feared that the old man might have suddenly contracted some serious illness!


    With this thought, Huang Weiyi lost his appetite and immediately called Ji Ruyun.


    After hearing this, Ji Ruyun also frowned and quickly said, ¡°Weiyi wait, your brother-in-law is right here, you talk to him!¡±


    Ji Ruyun passed the phone to Qin Xiaoyuan, saying, ¡°It¡¯s Weiyi¡¯s call.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan turned on the speakerphone and held it to his mouth, ¡°Weiyi, it¡¯s your brother-in-law, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Huang Weiyi hurriedly said, ¡°Brother-in-law, my dad had black stool today and vomited a bit, and I found some blood. I asked my dad, and he doesn¡¯t remember how long it¡¯s been. I¡¯m worried that there might be something wrong!¡±


    Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s brow furrowed immediately.


    Upper gastrointestinal bleeding?


    Qin Xiaoyuan, being a specialist in oncology, naturally considered more possibilities. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t jump to conclusions, and don¡¯t stress out the old man. It¡¯s like this, you drive him to the hospital later, and we¡¯ll do a gastroscopy to see what¡¯s going on.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Huang Weiyi immediately agreed, ¡°Alright, brother-in-law, I¡¯ll take my dad there now.¡±


    After hanging up, Qin Xiaoyuan picked up his phone and dialed Mirror Department Head Xiao He¡¯s number, ¡°Director Xiao, it¡¯s me, Qin Xiaoyuan.¡±


    As soon as Xiao He saw the call, he quickly answered, ¡°Dean Qin, what can I do for you?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°An elder of mine might be experiencing upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and we¡¯re preparing to come in for an endoscopy. Are you available right now?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xiao He knew that even if he wasn¡¯t free, he had to make time!


    He immediately responded, ¡°Director, I¡¯ll get there in about 20 minutes.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun had no appetite to eat, so they hurriedly gathered their belongings, ready to leave.


    Huang Weiyi¡¯s father, Ji Ruyun¡¯s former superior, was named Huang Yongyi, who had retired as the Director of the Dongyang Provincial Health Department.


    Huang Yongyi had taken good care of Ji Ruyun, which had helped her smoothly become the director of the Medical Insurance Center.


    Even Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s position as the hospital director had been aided by the elder¡¯s help.


    So to say, the two families had always maintained a very good relationship. Hearing that Huang Yongyi was sick, both of them were quite anxious.


    After packing, they hurriedly got up and headed towards the hospital.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Xiao He arrived. Seeing Qin Xiaoyuan, he immediately greeted, ¡°Director Qin.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for the trouble, Director Xiao, especially for coming out this late.¡±


    Xiao He quickly waved it off.


    At this time, Huang Weiyi arrived at the emergency room with his father, Huang Yongyi.


    Upon seeing Qin Xiaoyuan and company, he promptly came forward to greet them.


    Huang Weiyi was not in high spirits, obviously worried.


    However, Huang Yongyi spoke cheerfully, ¡°Ji Ruyun, Qin Xiaoyuan, sorry to bother you so late at night.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan quickly said, ¡°Uncle Huang, you¡¯re being too polite. I¡¯ll go take care of the paperwork. Ruyun, Weiyi, you two escort Uncle Huang to Director Xiao in the endoscopy room.¡±


    Huang Yongyi smiled, ¡°I¡¯m fine; I know my own body well.¡±


    After speaking, he followed the group to the endoscopy room.


    Qin Xiaoyuan stayed behind to help with the paperwork.


    In reality, at Huang Yongyi¡¯s level, hospitalization costs were fully reimbursed.


    The cost was not really a consideration.


    What they were mainly worried about was the possibility that the elder had some serious disease.


    After all, at such an advanced age, it was inevitable.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the endoscopy room, Huang Yongyi was having a painless gastroscopy.


    After taking care of everything, Qin Xiaoyuan arrived at the endoscopy room where Huang Yongyi had already been anesthetized, ready to start.


    As soon as the probe was inserted and reached the esophagus, a huge ulceration was revealed.


    Instantly, several people were stunned.


    Or perhaps, it was no longer accurate to call it an ulcer; the local tissue had already become ischemic and necrotic, surrounded by traces of blood.


    After exploring the area, Xiao He did not find any other abnormalities, and nothing else was discovered inside the stomach either.


    It seemed!


    The source of the bleeding should be right here.


    Qin Xiaoyuan said to Huang Weiyi, ¡°It¡¯s not that.¡±


    But Xiao He frowned and said, ¡°Director Qin, we need to do a chest x-ray immediately, and then call Director Tao as well as Chen Cang, and have them come to the hospital!¡±


    All of a sudden, Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback, ¡°Why? Call them for what?¡±


    Xiao He said, ¡°I suspect that the blood is not coming from the esophagus, but from the aorta!¡±


    With that sentence, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s complexion changed.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Thank you to ¡°Xue Hong¡± for the generous reward of 10,000; I was so thrilled for half an hour that I didn¡¯t write a word! Really excited, cough cough!


    Also, thanks to ¡°Zhilili Yulan¡± friend for the reward of 10,000, equally grateful!

 Chapter 458 - Chapter 458: Chapter 458: With Xiao Chen around, there shouldnt be a big problem!

    Chapter 458: Chapter 458: With Xiao Chen around, there shouldn¡¯t be a big problem!


    Although Qin Xiaoyuan was not a gastroenterologist, his many years of clinical experience were certainly no joke.


    Upon hearing Xiao He¡¯s words, he immediately frowned.


    Xiao He continued, ¡°Dean Qin, I¡¯m worried it¡¯s a traumatic esophageal fistula, but¡­ it¡¯s difficult to guarantee if the aorta has been injured, so it¡¯s safer to be more cautious!¡±


    Working in oncology means dealing with a rather diverse category of diseases.


    Especially for veteran oncologists like Qin Xiaoyuan, this was even more so the case.


    Initially, the oncology department at the Second Provincial Hospital was called the ¡°Internal Comprehensive Department¡± because tumors involved many different systems, which is why it was called a comprehensive department of internal medicine. It was only later officially renamed as the oncology department, and gradually, smaller subspecialties like tumor department one, tumor department two¡­ evolved from it.


    However, when speaking to patients, the term ¡°Internal Comprehensive Department¡± is still used, rather than ¡°oncology department.¡±


    Many family members prefer not to let the patients know they have a tumor.


    So, internally within the hospital, it¡¯s called the oncology department, but when speaking to patients, it¡¯s called the Internal Comprehensive Department.


    As soon as Qin Xiaoyuan heard about the traumatic esophageal fistula from Xiao He, he immediately realized the implications.


    Traumatic esophageal fistulas are most likely to damage the aorta and can even cause an aortic fistula!


    If an aortic rupture is triggered, the situation would become critical.


    With this in mind, Qin Xiaoyuan quickly instructed Huang Weiyi, ¡°Weiyi, arrange for hospitalization first, to the cardiac surgery department, let¡¯s have a detailed examination.¡±


    When Huang Weiyi heard how serious Qin Xiaoyuan was, he couldn¡¯t help but take it seriously.


    He had not even had a moment to breathe a sigh of relief when another seemingly grave disease had arisen!


    Thinking this, Huang Weiyi didn¡¯t dare to be lax and nodded quickly, following Qin Xiaoyuan to handle the formalities.


    Ji Ruyun stayed to accompany the elderly patient.


    Meanwhile, as Qin Xiaoyuan walked, he casually picked up the phone to ask Tao Zi and Chen Cang to come to the hospital quickly.


    Tao Zi was in the family residence building, which wasn¡¯t far, so she arrived at the emergency hall in less than ten minutes.


    At that moment, Chen Cang was with Qin Yue, watching television on a cellphone, when he received the call from Qin Xiaoyuan, he hurriedly changed clothes and got up.


    Even Qin Yue came along with him.


    By the time Chen Cang arrived, Huang Yongyi had completed the hospital admission procedures and was sending the patient into the radiology department for examination.


    Qin Yue saw her mother waiting outside radiology and followed her.


    Seeing Xiao He, Chen Cang quickly approached and asked, ¡°Director Xiao, what¡¯s the situation?¡±


    After thinking for a moment, Xiao He replied, ¡°It could be a traumatic esophageal-aortic fistula.¡±


    At these words, even Chen Cang was taken aback!


    This was no minor disease; it could cause severe upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, endangering life!


    Basically, as soon as it¡¯s diagnosed, surgery needs to be organized as soon as possible.


    Therefore, after hearing this, Chen Cang also had to treat the situation with great concern, ¡°Has it been confirmed?¡±


    Xiao He shook his head, ¡°They¡¯ve taken him for a chest X-ray.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang went straight to the radiology department¡¯s operating room.


    In these days, Chen Cang was quite familiar with the radiology department since everyone was on the first floor and often saw each other.


    So when Yang Lin, the radiologist, saw Chen Cang come in, he didn¡¯t mind.


    Chen Cang approached and said, ¡°Old Yang, pay attention for any aortic injuries.¡±


    Yang Lin nodded.


    Chest X-rays are of great importance for the early detection and diagnosis of traumatic esophageal-aortic fistula injuries.


    The X-ray image was taken, and Yang Lin frowned, ¡°Damn, Cang Er, you might have really guessed right!¡±


    ¡°You see, there is emphysema in the mediastinum, and the density near the descending aorta on the left cardiac-diaphragmatic angle has increased, the descending aorta¡¯s contour has disappeared¡­¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s heart skipped a beat!


    It should be roughly correct.


    Create the conditions as quickly as possible, operate as soon as possible!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang quickly stood up and went out, just in time to run into Ji Ruyun and her group.


    Chen Cang hurriedly said, ¡°Auntie, it¡¯s a traumatic aortoesophageal fistula, we need to prepare for surgery immediately.¡±


    Huang Weiyi was startled by Chen Cang¡¯s serious demeanor and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Doctor, what is my dad¡¯s condition?¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t have time to explain and turned to glance at Qin Yue, ¡°You explain to them, I¡¯m going to cardiothoracic surgery to get Director Tao to arrange the surgery as soon as possible.¡±


    After saying this, he left without further explanation.


    Huang Weiyi was left in a state of shock and turned to look at Ji Ruyun, ¡°Ji sister, is it that serious?¡±


    Ji Ruyun, not having dealt with clinical matters for many years, naturally didn¡¯t understand either.


    But Qin Yue, who worked in emergency, knew this was a critically severe condition and quickly said, ¡°Uncle Huang, it¡¯s very dangerous. Every minute we delay could potentially cause an unpredictable major hemorrhage. Once bleeding occurs, the situation¡­ becomes very dangerous.¡±


    Ji Ruyun turned to look at Qin Yue, ¡°What caused this?¡±


    Qin Yue began to explain in detail, ¡°An aortoesophageal fistula is a progressive development process. The esophagus and the aorta are very close to each other. When the esophagus is injured by a foreign object, initially it¡¯s the local ischemia and necrosis of the esophageal mucosa, gradually penetrating the esophageal wall, which then further damages the aorta, causing the destruction of the aortic mucosal layer. At this point, blood will start to appear in the aorta.¡±


    ¡°In the early stages, the bleeding is less significant, signaled by minor bleeding. There might be chest discomfort or even no symptoms at all, but once the aorta ruptures, it¡¯s fatal major hemorrhage!¡±


    ¡°So, at this point, we must reinforce prevention. With minor bleeding, we need to be more vigilant.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, both of them instantly became pale and fearful!


    At this very moment, they also understood why Chen Cang was so anxious and flustered.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyuan was in the doctors¡¯ office with Tao Zi, anxiously waiting.


    Chen Cang rushed in with the films.


    After greeting the two, he immediately brought out the films and went to Tao Zi¡¯s side, ¡°Director Tao, these are the chest films. It should be diagnosable as a traumatic aortoesophageal fistula. Let¡¯s arrange the surgery as quickly as possible.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Tao Zi¡¯s face changed dramatically, and even Qin Xiaoyuan was instantly tense!


    Hurriedly taking the films and after looking at them, he immediately frowned.


    Indeed, the situation was not optimistic!


    This was truly like walking on a tightrope along a cliff, gambling with one¡¯s life!


    Because no one knew when a major hemorrhage might occur.


    One couldn¡¯t even see the extent of the damage to the aorta; who could guarantee the current state of Mr. Huang¡¯s condition?


    Thinking this, Tao Zi quickly stood up as the nurses and Ji Ruyun¡¯s group had already pushed Mr. Huang up.


    After Tao Zi went out, he quickly called the on-duty doctor, Zhang Wenfu, to get ready for preoperative preparations and arrange the surgery as soon as possible.


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Tao Zi, ¡°Director Tao, do we need to call for other experts?¡±


    Tao Zi paused for a moment, then understood Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s concern, ¡°No need, with me and Chen here, it shouldn¡¯t be a big problem.¡±


    Hearing Tao Zi say this, Qin Xiaoyuan also curiously glanced at Chen Cang. This young man, he was actually so capable?


    ¡­


    ¡­

 Chapter 459 - Chapter 459: Chapter 459: The Old Thief Deceived Me!

    Chapter 459: Chapter 459: The Old Thief Deceived Me!


    Huang Yongyi was greatly helped by Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun!


    So, upon learning of the elderly man¡¯s condition, both of them did their utmost to ensure the surgery would be successful.


    Huang Weiyi was also somewhat worried.


    After all, he sought out Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun precisely because they had extensive connections within the medical system, which made everything more convenient.


    Qin Xiaoyuan glanced at Chen Cang, then at Tao Zi, and nodded.


    Seeing this, Xiao He said, ¡°President Qin, you can be completely assured about Xiao Chen¡¯s esophageal surgery, I am profoundly aware of this.¡±


    Tao Zi nodded, ¡°Yes, Xiao Chen¡¯s surgeries are well-done, President Qin. You don¡¯t have to worry at all. With both of us here, the surgery shouldn¡¯t have any major issues.¡±


    The most crucial aspect of this surgery was the diagnosis!


    To clearly determine the patient¡¯s condition as early as possible.


    This was more important than anything else.


    [Ding! Mission triggered, participate in Huang Yongyi¡¯s surgery. Participation of more than fifty percent will reward you with a skill in major intrathoracic vascular repair (one random skill awarded). The higher the level of participation, the higher the skill level obtained!]


    Without a change in expression, Chen Cang quickly accepted the mission.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After the preparations, Huang Yongyi was wheeled into the operating room.


    Chen Cang, along with Tao Zi and Zhang Wenfu, entered the operating room, ready to begin the surgery.


    While washing his hands, Tao Zi looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, today¡¯s surgery is mainly up to you. Although it is said that there¡¯s major vascular damage, the surgery is primarily focused on the thoracic cavity. I¡¯ll assist you. Feeling nervous?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and shook his head, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t say nervous, more like¡­ With every surgery, there¡¯s always a sense of unease, since we won¡¯t know the patient¡¯s condition until we open up the chest.¡±


    Hearing Chen Cang say this, Tao Zi was slightly startled but then couldn¡¯t help laughing, ¡°The word ¡®unease¡¯ is well chosen!¡±


    Indeed, every surgery was like an adventure, never guaranteed to be without fail.


    What needed to be done was to make the best possible plan, consider all possibilities, and to be fully prepared to face all situations that might arise.


    At this time, Qin Xiaoyuan came over to observe the surgery.


    Ji Ruyun and Qin Yue were outside with Huang Weiyi.


    Qin Yue said, ¡°Uncle Huang, don¡¯t worry, Director Tao is the best cardiothoracic director in our province, and Doctor Chen is Dongyang¡¯s most talented surgeon, the best at thoracic surgeries in our hospital. With them here, you don¡¯t need to worry!¡±


    Hearing Qin Yue boast, Ji Ruyun couldn¡¯t help but twitch her mouth, this girl, how could she praise someone without holding back¡­


    Claiming the most talented surgeon in Dongyang province¡­ the best at thoracic surgery in the second provincial hospital¡­


    Why not praise even more magnificently?


    How about ¡®the best in the world¡¯?


    She had no idea that Qin Yue had already been brainwashed by Chen Cang, becoming the most loyal Xiao Qin, absolutely convinced that Chen Cang was the best in the world!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the operating room, Qin Xiaoyuan comforted Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, don¡¯t feel pressured!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and nodded, ¡°Thank you, President Qin.¡±


    Tao Zi, observing the interaction between them, felt something was off¡­


    It didn¡¯t seem like the look a president would give a doctor?


    More like¡­ there was some special flavor to it!


    Could it be his own misperception?


    With this thought, Tao Zi shook his head. It was probably just President Qin¡¯s care for the young doctor¡­


    The surgery was no small matter, with Liu Jian administering the anesthesia. Seeing President Qin present, he couldn¡¯t help but smile and nod in recognition.


    Thoracic surgeries were basically always performed under general anesthesia.


    Chen Cang took the scalpel and made an incision on the left posterior lateral side, which could expose both the aorta and the esophageal fistula.


    But this required the operator to be especially meticulous.


    Chen Cang thought it over and spent 6 skill points to elevate [Esophaga-aortic Fistula Repair Surgery] directly to Master level.


    It had to be guaranteed without fail!


    Upon opening the thoracic cavity, pleural effusion was exposed. Tao Zi quickly started suction, while Chen Cang was responsible for irrigation; due to infection, there were many adhesions and pleural effusions in the thoracic cavity.


    At this point, it was necessary to separate the aorta.


    The greatest difficulty of thoracic surgery lies in the precision.


    Because this area is just like the engine of a car, where too many blood vessels, tracheas, tissues, nerves, etc. converge¡­


    And at this moment, due to pleural effusion and infection, these areas have already developed a lot of adhesion.


    Right now, what needs to be dealt with first is still the thoracic aorta!


    Looking at the situation inside the thoracic cavity, Qin Xiaoyuan felt his scalp go numb.


    Because of the severe infection of the esophagus, mediastinum, and the aorta, the resulting tissue edema is very apparent¡ªthe walls of the aorta are brittle now!


    The walls¡¯ fragile nature makes them prone to rupture, so extreme caution is necessary when separating the thoracic aorta at this time.


    However, Qin Xiaoyuan noticed that Tao Zi didn¡¯t seem nervous at all!


    Even Xiao He, who was observing the surgery, looked very relaxed.


    This aroused Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s curiosity¡ªhas our hospital¡¯s surgery department become so powerful?


    Is it unnecessary to be nervous in such a situation?


    Could it be¡­ that the rumors of the surgery department of our hospital being weak is a strategy by Secretary Tan Liguo?


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt curious, maybe I need to further investigate our hospital¡¯s surgical level!


    At this time, Chen Cang had already started the procedure.


    At the opening of the left subclavian artery, he carefully isolated the thoracic aorta, step by step, as steady as an old dog. Watching this made Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s blood surge, it seemed his son-in-law was quite capable!


    It wasn¡¯t long before Chen Cang successfully isolated the thoracic aorta and decisively looped a band around it!


    Without stopping, Chen Cang took a scalpel and carefully avoided the phrenic nerve, and then opened the pericardium.


    He turned to Tao Zi and said,


    ¡°Heperate!¡±


    Zhang Wenfu nodded immediately.


    Chen Cang continued,


    ¡°Establish left heart circulation!¡±


    ¡­


    The procedure progressed slowly, step by step, and it seemed Chen Cang could always stabilize the situation.


    After everything was ready,


    Finally, Chen Cang longitudinally opened the pleura between the esophagus and the thoracic aorta, separating and freeing the space between the esophagus and the aorta!


    This process had to be handled with great care!


    Because the aorta at this point was like glass, it would shatter upon touch!


    Fortunately, the left heart circulation had been established, so the pressure wasn¡¯t too high.


    At that moment, everyone saw two fistulas!


    One on the wall of the esophagus, and one on the wall of the aorta!


    The area of necrosis on the aorta was not small, and before Chen Cang could start cleaning, it had already broken apart, which frightened everyone and made them sigh in relief.


    Fortunately, it was discovered early.


    Otherwise, the problem would have been severe.


    Chen Cang began to remove the necrotic tissue and foreign material. Although the fistulas were severely damaged, the size was manageable, and they could be repaired with a patch.


    It was much like patching a tire¡ªif the inner tube is broken and can¡¯t hold the patch, a patch must be applied.


    The surgery proceeded smoothly.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was somewhat surprised.


    He felt that Tan Liguo, that old thief, must have been deceiving him, constantly saying that our hospital¡¯s surgery department was behind¡­ It must be a conspiracy!


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face darkened as if he had been cheated!

 Chapter 460 - Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Ashamed!

    Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Ashamed!


    Because of the establishment of the left heart circulation, the repair of the aorta suddenly became much smaller!


    Even so, it couldn¡¯t conceal Chen Cang¡¯s technical prowess during the aortic repair!


    This involved a ¡°patching¡± technique.


    The difference might be that this ¡°patch¡± is a living one!


    How ingeniously to combine the artificial blood vessel patch with the aorta¡¯s own patch is a skill.


    Tao Zi watched Chen Cang choose a No. 4 propylene thread and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    It truly is the daring of those with great mastery; fine thread suturing can indeed increase the tightness during vascular wall suturing, making the aortic wall more robust, but it has higher demands on suturing speed.


    However, while Chen Cang was suturing, his thoughts suddenly shifted, and then¡­ he slightly furrowed his brows!


    He realized that the suturing of the vessel wall, in terms of speed and tightness, was not the only considerations.


    During suturing, how to better match the inner and outer layers of the blood vessel and then enhance the effective function of the vascular wall was very important!


    There were also many requirements regarding the tension of the vascular wall, the damage to the intima, the overall recovery ability of the vascular wall, and so on!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but fall into deeper contemplation!


    The suturing of a major blood vessel, how to choose to achieve the best result?


    What issues need to be considered when repairing major blood vessels of the heart¡­


    ¡­


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    It was too difficult.


    However, this was definitely not an easy task; vascular repair and suturing work had always been under research, just like tendon suturing.


    Naturally, this was not something that could be done overnight.


    Keep researching slowly!


    With this thought, Chen Cang relaxed and continued his work at hand.


    Meanwhile, Tao Zi and Zhang Wenfu, seeing Chen Cang like this, couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback; that sigh¡­ it was somewhat poignant!


    The type of sigh that carried a faint sadness, mixed with reflections on one¡¯s own techniques and a sense of helplessness¡­


    This was clearly dissatisfaction with one¡¯s own skills!


    The disappointed look was tinged with a trace of pity and reluctance, and the faintly furrowed brow was full of sighs.


    This made the cardiac surgery ¡°master and servant¡± pair watch with twitching eyelids.


    Not satisfied with this?


    How high must one set the bar for oneself!


    Zhang Wenfu looked at the young man and couldn¡¯t help but feel touched and slightly ashamed, suddenly reflecting, had he become too complacent over the years?


    Why is someone else so outstanding?


    Isn¡¯t it because of dissatisfaction with oneself?


    Learning never ends!


    And his own level of half-full, half-shaken¡­ seemed a bit like coasting through life.


    The more Zhang Wenfu thought, the more ashamed he felt.


    Tonight, after going back, even if his wife called him, he would have to hold back, lock himself in the study, and read for an hour!


    But Tao Zi felt quite content.


    Frankly, at his age, because of physical limitations, many techniques were beyond his power, even if he had Chen Cang¡¯s insight, he could not perform like Chen Cang.


    Because in surgery, after all, it¡¯s still about innate talent and physical strength.


    This talent includes the skills and natural ability in terms of physical strength!


    These things cannot be compensated for by mere effort.


    Like this precise and fast suturing, it is not simply achieved by effort, it includes many other factors.


    During one operation, three people sighed!


    Watching this made Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s heart feel uneasy.


    If it¡¯s done, it¡¯s done; why sigh?


    ¡­


    After Chen Cang finished repairing the aorta, he then started to deal with the esophagus.


    But the question was, did they really need a PTFE patch?


    The fistula in the esophagus was neither large nor small, such that it was possible to use it, but not necessary.


    This called for the attending physician to weigh in!


    Xiao He, standing by, noticed Chen Cang¡¯s hesitation.


    If the cut was too large, mattress suturing could be successful, but the scar tissue and the recovery process would undoubtedly affect the function of the esophagus and cause its constriction.


    However, the use of a patch would also have side effects!


    In this way, Chen Cang was clearly facing a difficult decision.


    At this time, how to assess and optimize became extremely important.


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were constantly thinking and judging, considering how to proceed with the operation.


    He started to see the surrounding necrotic tissue more clearly with his eyes.


    Chen Cang began to remove the rotten and necrotic esophagus!


    However, he was very careful and cautious when dissecting and excising, because¡­ he still didn¡¯t plan to use a patch, but simply to suture the esophagus.


    Xiao He and Tao Zi exchanged glances, both a bit skeptical.


    Could this work?


    Because at this point, a forced suturing would not be as reliable as using a patch.


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes could clearly discern and separate the necrotic tissue, and he tried not to cut too much, but to preserve as much as he could directly.


    Soon, the tissue was all cleared away!


    At this time, Chen Cang began by first suturing the innermost mucosal layer of the esophagus.


    The location of the fistula was right between the first and second narrowings of the esophagus, and Chen Cang¡¯s clever mucosal stretching meant the esophagus could now be joined together!


    This maneuver immediately impressed everybody!


    Xiao He couldn¡¯t help but applaud!


    The slight angle allowed the constriction to be straightened out without affecting the physiological passage, which undoubtedly became the best choice!


    Such a choice was truly genius!


    How could such an angle for stretching be conceived?


    Now, Xiao He really wanted to ask Chen Cang if he had been using a protractor and a set square during the surgery!


    Or did his eyes have a ruler?


    Who performs surgery like this!


    And Tao Zi was also taken aback, impressed by the skill of this young man!


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t relax, because suturing the mucosal layer was just a part, and the internal muscle layer and outer sheath still had to be sutured, all requiring good control of this angle!


    The entire operation had undoubtedly evolved from a simple fistula repair to a precision esophageal optimization suturing procedure.


    This caused Xiao He, who had long been engaged in esophageal work, to applaud and sing praises!


    Though Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t understand the surgery very well, watching Chen Cang repair the cut so well impressed him.


    Chen Cang¡¯s subsequent work was simple, finalizing the operation continuously.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t ask for much help from others, because¡­ the system said, the higher the participation, the richer the reward!


    This operation, he didn¡¯t use a patch when repairing his own esophagus, all done by hand¡­


    The participation should be pretty high, right?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang suddenly became eager, wondering if he could get a perfect score?


    Counting the gauze¡­ organizing the instruments¡­


    The surgery was about to be completed!


    Head nurse Li Ying looked at Chen Cang with a smile in her eyes.


    To be honest, she really liked Chen Cang, because this young man¡­ saved on gauze!


    That¡¯s right.


    Chen Cang¡¯s surgeries were probably the most resource-efficient.


    Less blood loss, no unnecessary procedures, all of these greatly improved the precision of the surgery.

 Chapter 461 - Chapter 461: Chapter 461: What You Want to Do and What You Should Do!

    Chapter 461: Chapter 461: What You Want to Do and What You Should Do!


    Because aside from costly items like hemostatic gauze that are charged separately, the cost of other common gauzes and consumables is generally lumped together and not very precise.


    And every head nurse has a heart set on saving wherever possible!


    Adhering to the principle of not wasting a single needle, thread, or piece of gauze, not a cent goes unaccounted for.


    So, when Li Ying saw some doctors using one piece of gauze after another during surgery, it caused her chest to ache with frustration!


    Not managing the household, one doesn¡¯t know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt. These are all money, whether it¡¯s about saving money for the patient or the hospital, it¡¯s about saving resources for the country, isn¡¯t it?


    Especially certain people, like Zhang Youfu!


    This guy used so much gauze during surgery that it made Li Ying¡¯s teeth itch with irritation.


    Unfortunately¡­ who made Zhang Youfu so sweet-tongued, and besides, he was shrewd and knew how to handle things. Every time he managed to make Li Ying happy, occasionally he would bring snacks and fruits that others gifted to share with the nurses in the operating room, which made Li Ying turn a blind eye.


    If it had been Li Baoshan who was wasteful with gauze, he certainly wouldn¡¯t have escaped a roll of the eyes, after all, considering Li Baoshan¡¯s character¡­


    But now, the darling in Li Ying¡¯s eyes was Chen Cang because he used the least gauze every time!


    Because during surgery, Chen Cang was very precise, and he had a good control over the bleeding points, which was a good thing.


    Moreover, after the surgery, when it was time to count the gauze for him, it was always clear and straightforward, without ever forgetting or missing any.


    After all¡­ with too much gauze, one can¡¯t keep track of the count.


    Keep in mind that counting gauze is tiresome!


    Especially in major surgeries with dozens or hundreds of gauzes, it takes several counts before one can get a clear count¡­


    Counting gauze is a fundamental skill for a nurse¡­ what every operating room instrument nurse does best isn¡¯t organizing instruments, but counting gauze.


    If you don¡¯t count it right, you won¡¯t be allowed to suture.


    And generally, two or three people count together, checking several times before finishing up.


    So now, leaving things inside someone¡¯s stomach is truly irresponsible, with just a bit of care that would never happen.


    Huang Yongyi was sent to the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery by the nurses, as recovery there would be more convenient.


    Zhang Wenfu followed as well.


    Chen Cang and several directors were chatting, discussing today¡¯s surgery, while Qin Xiaoyuan was enjoying the praises for Chen Cang from Xiao He and Tao Zi, feeling a unique taste inside.


    Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t know when it started, but he didn¡¯t like others flattering him. Instead, he felt great when he heard everyone praising Chen Cang!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this time, Ji Ruyun and Huang Weiyi were anxiously waiting outside for the surgery to take place.


    As for Qin Yue, she was not worried at all; on the contrary, she was comforting both of them.


    Praising Chen Cang for his excellence, for how he saved children in critical condition, for how he saved the life of an eighty-year-old lady¡­


    Basically, anything praiseworthy was said, and given time, she could probably write a novel of 3 million words!


    Seeing Huang Weiyi a bit nervous, Ji Ruyun comforted him, ¡°Weiyi, don¡¯t worry, Uncle Huang will be fine.¡±


    Huang Weiyi let out a sigh, ¡°Ah¡­ it¡¯s all because I¡¯ve been too busy with work to take proper care of him. Once this case is settled, I¡¯ll make it up to him and take him out for a trip.¡±


    ¡°Since my mother passed away, my father¡¯s health has been declining. I¡¯ve been too busy to take care of him properly; it¡¯s really my fault that I¡¯m not good enough!¡±


    Huang Yongyi had only one son, and his wife had passed away early, so he always treated Ji Ruyun like a daughter. Initially, he indeed intended to match Ji Ruyun with Huang Yongyi.


    However, at the time, Ji Ruyun and Qin Xiaoyuan were already engaged, and his own son, Huang Weiyi, had someone in mind as well.


    Naturally, Huang Yongyi couldn¡¯t play the villain.


    Latter on, the two families got along very well, and Ji Ruyun always kept in touch during festivals and holidays.


    While the two were chatting.


    At this moment, the door to the operating room opened, and Ji Ruyun and the others promptly got to their feet.


    ¡°Doctor! How did it go?¡± Huang Weiyi asked first.


    Tao Zi, looking at Huang Weiyi and comforting him, nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, the surgery was very successful, everyone can relax.¡±


    Upon hearing Tao Zi say this, everyone¡¯s anxious hearts finally settled.


    Huang Weiyi grasped Tao Zi¡¯s hand gratefully, ¡°Thank you, Doctor, I really can¡¯t thank you enough!¡±


    Tao Zi smiled and replied, ¡°If you want to thank someone, you should really thank Dr. Chen. He was the lead surgeon from start to finish, and the surgery was so successful because of him!¡±


    Huang Weiyi looked emotionally at Chen Cang, grasping his hands, ¡°Dr. Chen, I won¡¯t say anything superfluous. If there¡¯s ever anything you need, just say the word!¡±


    While speaking, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang smiled, took the business card, and put it in his pocket, saying, ¡°You¡¯re too kind, it¡¯s all part of the job.¡±


    Qin Yue pouted and whispered to Ji Ruyun, ¡°See, I told you Chen Cang is amazing. You didn¡¯t believe me¡­¡±


    Ji Ruyun couldn¡¯t help but turn around and give Qin Yue a discontented look.


    Huang Weiyi insisted on leaving a contact number for Chen Cang no matter what.


    Huang Weiyi looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Dr. Chen, I¡¯m a lawyer at Weiyi Law Firm. Should you need any legal advice or assistance in the future, just reach out to me, and I¡¯ll do everything I can!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and nodded, accepting the offer.


    He wasn¡¯t very familiar with Weiyi Law Firm, but he thought that knowing a lawyer couldn¡¯t be a bad thing, could it?


    With his father ill, Huang Weiyi couldn¡¯t focus on his work and, after arranging his work over the phone, he stayed at the hospital that night.


    Having money paves the way; everything is easy to talk about. Moreover, hospitalization for a bureau-level official is reimbursable. Qin Xiaoyuan was his brother-in-law, so getting a private room was a trivial matter.


    Before long, the cardiology department found a double room, and Huang Weiyi and his father moved in.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After wrapping up the business, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Tao Zi still had some matters to handle.


    Qin Xiaoyuan and the rest of the group then started to leave the hospital one after another.


    Ji Ruyun and Qin Yue walked ahead, chatting and laughing.


    Behind them walked Qin Xiaoyuan and Chen Cang.


    Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Xiao Chen, this Huang Weiyi is not bad. He gets along well with your aunt and me. If you have any legal issues in the future, you can seek him out. He¡¯s one of us.¡±


    ¡°By the way, you might not know this, but our hospital¡¯s legal advisor is from Weiyi Law Firm. They have a big operation and carry a lot of weight all over Dongyang province.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded and smiled, ¡°Mm-hmm, thank you, Director Qin, I¡¯ll keep that in mind.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan hummed a response, continuing, ¡°Actually, you¡¯re not a child anymore. This society isn¡¯t that simple.¡±


    ¡°We doctors have our advantages. For instance, we easily come into contact with people from all kinds of professions. These are your connections and resources.¡±


    ¡°The medical community isn¡¯t as clean as it seems, it¡¯s just that the dirty stuff isn¡¯t visible to you. I know what you¡¯re thinking, just wanting to be a good doctor.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang smiled awkwardly; indeed, sometimes he just wanted to be a good doctor.


    Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, ¡°I used to think the same when I was young. But have you ever thought that only when you are capable can you do what you want? Otherwise, you can only do what you must do!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s just how the system works, no matter which hospital you¡¯re in.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve met Director Zhou Hongguang. I¡¯ll say something unpleasant¡ªout of so many directors at 301, why was he elected an academician? It¡¯s because he is a department head and also a vice-president. That¡¯s the power of resources.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you all this hoping that you will consider things a bit more broadly. Meeting new people isn¡¯t a bad thing.¡±


    ¡°After all, you never know who might be able to help you out.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was intentionally bringing up these matters to Chen Cang.


    He was worried that with Chen Cang¡¯s surgical talent and youthful vigor, he might look down on mundane practices.


    There are many people like that!


    Proud because of their talent.


    Are they capable?


    Very much so!


    But, often they don¡¯t end up with good outcomes.


    Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t want Chen Cang to be like that.


    Because when you¡¯re not in a position to change your environment, you¡¯d better learn to adapt to it well!

 Chapter 462 - Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Brings Prosperity to Husband and Good Things Come in Pairs

    Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Brings Prosperity to Husband and Good Things Come in Pairs


    On Monday morning, during the shift change, Li Baoshan led a group of people into the office, about seven or eight in number.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang spotted Luo Zhou among them and had an epiphany.


    Is this¡­ the end of the interviews?


    When did this happen, I¡¯ve been so busy I didn¡¯t even notice!


    It seems like Luo Zhou must have passed the exam smoothly.


    With that thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile at Luo Zhou.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, Luo Zhou was also overjoyed, after all, they were old classmates and now would be colleagues.


    Li Baoshan was in a good mood today, a rare smile on his face.


    Leading the group, he walked in with a smile and said to everyone, ¡°Attention, everyone, I¡¯d like to introduce a few new colleagues. Starting today, they are the new members of our emergency department!¡±


    ¡°This is Director Wang Kai¡¯an, who was formerly the associate director of thoracic surgery at Dongda Second Hospital, a thoracic specialist. Let¡¯s give a warm welcome to Director Wang!¡±


    The crowd clapped their hands in welcome, and even Chen Cang looked at Wang Kai¡¯an with some delight, after all, Sheng Er Hospital had finally gotten a decent thoracic surgeon.


    Wang Kai¡¯an was tall and imposing, not much older than thirty-five or thirty-six, with a doctorate and rapid career progression. He said with a smile, ¡°Hello everyone, I am Wang Kai¡¯an, please take care of me!¡±


    Though Wang Kai¡¯an was tall and imposing, his voice was very low, which made everyone couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    And this person seemed to have no airs about him.


    ¡°This is Jiang Tao, a doctoral graduate in hand surgery, you¡¯ll be working with Director An from now on.¡±


    Jiang Tao was young, around thirty, with an air of youthfulness, clearly a recent graduate from school.


    After Li Baoshan¡¯s introduction, the emergency department¡¯s setup suddenly looked much more luxurious.


    The emergency surgical team gained five people, including Wang Kai¡¯an, Jiang Tao, and a few others like Luo Zhou.


    The morning was quite hectic, and after finishing the shift change and rounds, it was already past ten o¡¯clock.


    At that moment, a message suddenly appeared in the hospital¡¯s WeChat group.


    ¡°Congratulations to the emergency department¡¯s Chen Cang, Qin Yue, Li Baoshan, etc., for publishing two high-impact factor SCI papers in ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯ and ¡®British Journal of Surgery¡¯, bringing honor to our hospital¡¯s scientific research¡­ They have been awarded a cash prize of 100,000 yuan as a token of appreciation!¡±


    As soon as this message was released, the hospital group exploded.


    Everyone was enviously eyeing the message!


    A paper in ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯ would have been explosive enough, but now there was another in the ¡®British Journal of Surgery¡¯. With two high-impact factor papers like this, at Sheng Er Hospital, basically, there would be no obstacles to becoming a chief physician, just wait for the tenure and then get promoted!


    Furthermore, to have three people from emergency all at once was certainly a cause for envy.


    Instantly, the whole hospital was abuzz with discussion.


    And there was a bonus of 100,000 yuan to boot.


    Chen Cang was also feeling quite pleased, as neither of the two papers cost money to publish, and unexpectedly, they brought in a windfall of 100,000 yuan.


    It was truly a happy occasion.


    Keep in mind, publishing a paper in a domestic core journal would cost several thousand yuan in page charges.


    At that time, the entire emergency department erupted with joy, for this was also their honor.


    As for Wang Kai¡¯an and Jiang Tao, who had just arrived at the emergency surgical department and had yet to settle in, their faces changed.


    Especially Jiang Tao, who had just graduated from the Capital Medical University and returned to his hometown, had chosen Sheng Er Hospital over the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital and Dongda First Hospital because Sheng Er Hospital promised to build a hand surgery department within three years. By then, Jiang Tao would naturally become the associate director, wouldn¡¯t he?


    That¡¯s why he had come here¡­


    He had thought that graduating from a prestigious school would give him a sense of superiority, but he hadn¡¯t expected to see this news upon his arrival¡­


    This emergency department seemed truly extraordinary.


    To think that there were suddenly two top-tier international journals.


    It must be known that Dr. Jiang Tao¡¯s graduation paper had an impact factor of only 1.3 points.


    That¡¯s fundamentally incomparable to articles like ¡°Liver Transplantation¡±.


    In contrast to Jiang Tao, Wang Kai¡¯an¡¯s presence was like a breath of fresh air, filling some with anticipation.


    He was different from Jiang Tao, as he had come to negotiate conditions.


    Wang Kai¡¯an had been in the Thoracic Surgery department at Dongda Second Hospital, but unable to contend with being marginalized, and not wanting to engage in constant scheming with those people, he had taken the initiative to resign. Just as he left, he came across Luo Zhou Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s recruitment, which led to his interaction with them. Initially thinking that the emergency surgery department of the Provincial Second Hospital was average, he was unexpectedly impressed.


    It seems there might have been some misunderstandings about the Provincial Second Hospital from the outside!


    After all, in the minds of those within the circle, the Provincial Second Hospital was known for prioritizing internal medicine, with its surgical development lagging somewhat behind.


    But now, it seemed that the emergency department was not ordinary at all!


    Wang Kai¡¯an suddenly became excited about his future work.


    Even though he was the only one in thoracic surgery, and it might be more exhausting, at least he wouldn¡¯t have to compete with so many others in duplicity.


    Chen Cang hadn¡¯t yet had time to get excited when he was called to the Science and Education Section.


    When Chen Cang arrived, Yang Tong was just in the office. Seeing Chen Cang coming in, he smiled and said, ¡°Congratulations, Xiao Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile back, ¡°Thank you, Teacher Yang.¡±


    Yang Tong couldn¡¯t help but snicker, ¡°Thank me for what? In the end, it¡¯s me who should be thanking you. Those two papers of yours have indeed relieved us of our scientific research pressure.¡±


    ¡°Right, give me your account details, I¡¯ll have the finance department transfer the money to you.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°To me alone?¡±


    Yang Tong nodded, ¡°Of course, this is your achievement, why not give it to you?¡±


    Chen Cang had originally thought the hundred thousand was to be split between three people, but it turned out to be his alone.


    Just stepping out of the medical affairs section, Chen Cang realized that today seemed to be his lucky day, everything was going his way.


    Could it be because of his lucky clothing?


    Chen Cang touched the cashmere sweater he was wearing. It seemed that Qin Xiaotian was quite auspicious for him, a simple sweater brought him a hundred thousand¡ªnice¡­


    It looked like the days of rising in rank and fortune were not far off.


    Chen Cang was smiling and about to go downstairs when his phone rang again¡ªit was Li Baoshan: ¡°Xiao Chen, come to the 21st-floor conference room. The reporters from the An Yang Evening News are here to interview you, to do a special feature on that day you saved someone.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately became amused; it really was a day of double happiness!


    Luckily, he hadn¡¯t gone downstairs and headed directly to the conference room on the 21st floor.


    At this moment, Li Baoshan, Qin Xiaoyuan, Tan Liguo, and others were there, chatting and laughing with the reporters.


    Upon Chen Cang¡¯s arrival, he quickly became the center of attention.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was originally in high spirits, but upon seeing Chen Cang, he couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    He found that Xiao Chen and he really had similar tastes!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Thank you to the brother from the Alliance Hierarch for the reward of 100,000 Qidian coins, thank you! This is your first time as an Alliance Hierarch, and I am immensely grateful!


    Also to the Alliance Hierarch desmondsze for another reward of 50,000! Thank you!


    And to our new friend: ¡°I am the King of Europe, my bets are always in the red¡± for the reward of 10,000.


    Thank you, everyone.


    By the way, thanks also to Blood-red, haha, for another reward of 2,000, thank you!

 Chapter 463 - Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Who Manages the Money?

    Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Who Manages the Money?


    Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly realized that Chen Cang¡¯s clothes seemed somewhat similar to his own!


    At the time, he was shopping at the mall with his wife and kids when Old Qin instantly took a liking to this piece of clothing. Seeing Chen Cang wear it, Old Qin suddenly felt a sense of shared heroism!


    Those with ability¡­ Their tastes do tend to be similar!


    He looked at Chen Cang with a smile, ¡°Xiao Chen, this is a reporter from An Yang Evening News, and also staff from the TV station¡­¡±


    The interview wasn¡¯t long, mainly sharing Chen Cang¡¯s feelings and thoughts. The dangerous specifics of the incident had already been reported in the previous days, so today¡¯s interview focused primarily on the Second Provincial Hospital, Chen Cang, and the various leaders involved.


    It seems the meal from a few days ago wasn¡¯t a waste after all.


    The event was supposed to be an interview with Chen Cang, but¡­ Before Chen Cang¡¯s seat had even warmed up, it had been taken by Secretary Tan, who began to preach about employees¡¯ professional ethics and self-cultivation.


    This left Chen Cang feeling somewhat disappointed¡­


    Before Chen Cang left, Qin Xiaoyuan made a special effort to see him out, looked at Chen Cang, and teased, ¡°That¡¯s a nice piece of clothing! Quite tasteful!¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, replying, ¡°Thank you, Director Qin¡­ This was a gift from Yueyue.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Old Qin immediately chuckled, ¡°Oh! A gift from Yueyue, no wonder!¡±


    Before Old Qin could finish his sentence, a sudden twinge inside made his face turn to that of constipation, and he quickly added, ¡°Well, make sure you wear it well! Hurry back to your work now¡­¡±


    Chen Cang, seeing Old Qin¡¯s expression change so rapidly, was instantly puzzled¡­


    He shook his head, got up, and left.


    These big shots really are fickle!


    As Qin Xiaoyuan watched Chen Cang¡¯s departing figure, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of panic, since it was a gift from Qin Yue¡­ This made Old Qin realize the need to be more vigilant!


    Qin Xiaoyuan had learned his lesson through experience¡ªafter all, the cotton in his little padded jacket had long been picked clean by Chen Cang!


    Now, not only drafty, it was tattered!


    The wind rushed in, sharp as a knife, not just cold but cutting into the flesh!


    Thinking back to the recent house viewing, Old Qin felt that the girl was beyond saving.


    It was time to tidy things up and send her packing!


    Right now, the urgent matter was to go back and check how many pieces of clothing he had left in his wardrobe¡­


    With this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan sighed and walked towards the meeting room.


    The entire interview had lost his interest. He glanced at the journalists and Tan Liguo and others, then smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve got something to attend to, so I¡¯ll leave first. Secretary Tan, please take over.¡±


    Tan Liguo was somewhat startled¡ªthis opportunity to stand out¡­ you¡¯re just giving it away so casually?


    This doesn¡¯t make sense!


    It made Tan Liguo quite curious.


    What¡¯s up with Director Qin today? Isn¡¯t he usually fighting with me over everything?


    Today he¡¯s actually giving me the chance to be on TV, something he had fought for.


    Could it be¡­ a trap?


    With that thought, Tan Liguo grew uneasy, thinking that once he got back, he¡¯d have to mull it over. He couldn¡¯t fall for the old fox¡¯s schemes!


    Tan Liguo had to be cautious¡ªafter all¡­ he had been outsmarted by Qin Xiaoyuan more than once. The mind of this internal medicine doctor was tempered by numerous diseases, incredibly astute and discerning!


    Still¡­ caution was warranted!


    Little did they know, Old Qin was feeling rather sentimental. After walking out, he looked through the glass at the imposing buildings of the Second Provincial Hospital and couldn¡¯t help but feel an overwhelming sense of emotion¡­


    This kingdom he had painstakingly built¡­ was he really about to let it go?


    Old Qin thought of the little cotton-padded jacket on Chen Cang¡¯s back and couldn¡¯t help but sigh¡­


    Ai¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After returning to the office, a crowd of people looked at Chen Cang, clamoring to eat and take everything, leaving nothing for Chen Cang.


    Qin Yue, on the other hand, glared at Chen Cang with a meaningful look, ¡°Be careful, we haven¡¯t settled the matter of who¡¯s handling the money yet!¡±


    Chen Cang was instantly sobered up by that look!


    However, Chen Cang thought to himself, would he, Mr. Chen, be the kind of man who¡¯s afraid of his wife?


    Of course not!


    In such a lively situation, whether it¡¯s welcoming a new colleague or celebrating, a celebration is definitely in order. He suddenly slapped his thigh and arranged for a meal.


    With this ruckus, the atmosphere in the office rose instantly.


    The office was filled with young people at the time, Chen Bingsheng and a few others were in surgery, and young people liked to make noise as well.


    Wang Kai¡¯an looked at this scene and suddenly smiled enviously; he wasn¡¯t very good at socializing, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been unable to get by at East University Second Hospital.


    And the atmosphere in this emergency department seemed quite good.


    Qin Yue was joking too, how much money would a meal cost?


    But looking at Chen Cang¡¯s smug expression was just irritating!


    No, no!


    She had to find an opportunity and a reason, and even if there was no reason, she had to come up with one, to get him good and proper.


    Once she made up her mind, Qin Yue¡¯s gears started turning.


    At this moment, Luo Zhou came over and sat down next to Chen Cang, ¡°Awesome, Cang Er, you¡¯ve published two papers like that, amazing.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, ¡°Just luck, just luck. It was a friend who connected me with the right people, otherwise, how could it have been so easy?¡±


    After saying this, Chen Cang suddenly laughed, ¡°I¡¯ve been so busy lately that I haven¡¯t paid attention to your re-exam, but it¡¯s good that you got in.¡±


    Luo Zhou nodded with a smile, ¡°Yeah, at least I¡¯ve settled down, and the hospital offers us newcomers a good deal, equal pay for equal work, with an increase in housing fund after three years, though there¡¯s not much difference really.¡±


    Chen Cang responded, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve heard about it too. It seems they are phasing out the staffing system now. Besides, in our profession, having a staffing position is not always a good thing. If you¡¯re capable, you can make it anywhere, right? At the end of the day, it¡¯s still about improving your skills.¡±


    As he said this, Chen Cang suddenly suggested to Luo Zhou, ¡°You could follow Professor Chen Bingsheng, I once followed him too. He¡¯s a nice guy, and he also specializes in general surgery, which is your field.¡±


    Luo Zhou nodded, but before he could speak,


    At that moment, a nurse rushed in flusteredly, looked around, and finally fixed her gaze on Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, a comatose patient has arrived!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and quickly got to his feet to head outside.


    Xu Dongdong, who was reading by the side, also stood up and left the office.


    It wasn¡¯t Chen Cang¡¯s turn to be on duty today, but the young nurses in emergency trusted him more, and in the absence of senior doctors, they would prioritize those who are more reliable.


    And Chen Cang was now the bridge between the middle-aged and young doctors.


    He was more skilled than the young doctors, but not as experienced as the senior ones.


    If one could say that every rescue and treatment in the emergency department was a test, then Chen Cang¡¯s score would definitely be among the higher ones.


    This was why he was trusted by everyone.


    Wang Kai¡¯an and Jiang Tao, seeing this, also curiously observed Chen Cang. Having been in the hospital for a while, they naturally understood the nuances well.

 Chapter 464 - Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Bachelor Party Night Before the Wedding

    Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Bachelor Party Night Before the Wedding


    After Chen Cang came out, he saw a man being brought in by the ambulance!


    At that moment, the gurney was being pushed directly to the resuscitation room.


    Chen Cang was also somewhat anxious and headed straight for the resuscitation room.


    The man who had brought in the patient was a plump middle-aged man, drenched in sweat and obviously frightened out of his wits!


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, he said hurriedly, ¡°Doctor! Please save my brother, he¡¯s getting married tomorrow! He can¡¯t have any trouble now!¡±


    As soon as these words came out, everyone around was stunned.


    Chen Cang was also somewhat bewildered.


    ¡°How did the patient lose consciousness?¡±


    The man swallowed his saliva, clearly very nervous. After all, the groom was getting married tomorrow, and suddenly he had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance¡ªif there wasn¡¯t a problem, that would be strange!


    After seeing Chen Cang, the man tried to recall what had happened, speaking uneasily, ¡°Isn¡¯t he getting married tomorrow? These past few days have been really hectic, and once everything was finally sorted, we said last night was ¡®bachelor¡¯s night,¡¯ so a group of us decided to get together.¡±


    ¡°My friend loves to drink, and I was afraid something might happen, so we didn¡¯t go out but stayed at my place. We bought a bunch of food, mainly drinks, and we were drinking and singing¡ªnothing was wrong!¡±


    ¡°And¡­ he was fine after drinking last night, but this morning when he got up, he suddenly told me he was dizzy and felt very anxious! I saw he was sweating continuously, so I hurriedly called for an ambulance. It wasn¡¯t long before he collapsed.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t focus on anything else and while listening to the man¡¯s words, said to Xiao Lin, ¡°Get him on the monitor first! Run an EKG!¡±


    Then he turned to the man, asking, ¡°Did he eat any seafood? Or anything that might cause an allergy? Or what kind of liquor did he drink? Has the patient had any illnesses before?¡±


    One after another, the rapid-fire questions left the man somewhat flustered.


    ¡°No allergies, just some common food and drink. I ordered takeout, kebabs; it¡¯s what we usually have, and for the past few days, we¡¯ve been eating a lot of them. Not to mention, he said his appetite hasn¡¯t been good these days, and he didn¡¯t eat much last night!¡±


    ¡°As for the drink, we had Fen liquor, 10-year Fen. Four of us drank four bottles. This guy can normally drink more than us; it shouldn¡¯t be the liquor!¡±


    ¡°About¡­ if he¡¯s had any previous illnesses, I really don¡¯t know. He shouldn¡¯t have any illnesses?¡±


    By the end of his explanation, the man himself was feeling uneasy.


    Even if there were illness, he might not necessarily tell his own friend.


    Chen Cang was momentarily puzzled, ¡°Contact his family, first ask if the patient has any chronic diseases.¡±


    The man suddenly became anxious upon hearing this, contacting family members¡­ now that could be troublesome.


    If his uncle and aunt found out it was once again him who had been drinking with the groom, they would beat him to death!


    But if he didn¡¯t contact them¡­ if there really was a problem, that would be terrible.


    With the wedding tomorrow, he would be the one to blame, thinking of this, the man immediately picked up the phone and dialed the patient¡¯s father¡¯s number: ¡°Hello? Uncle, it¡¯s Da Pang, yes, yes, yes!¡±


    ¡°Uncle, I need to tell you something, please don¡¯t panic, okay? Has Xiao Gang ever had any illness?¡±


    As soon as the other side heard this question, they immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, ¡°Da Pang, what¡¯s happened to Xiao Gang? Tell your uncle.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man sighed and turned on the speakerphone, ¡°Uncle, Xiao Gang collapsed this morning, I called an ambulance to the Second Provincial Hospital ER. He¡¯s at the Second Provincial now. The doctor asked me to inquire if Xiao Gang has had any illness before?¡±


    Indeed, as soon as he said this, the other side clearly froze!


    Chen Cang took the phone, ¡°Hello, I am Chen Cang, a doctor at the Second Provincial Hospital. Has the patient ever had any illnesses, or does your family have any hereditary diseases?¡±


    Taking advantage of the time while the monitor was being set up, Chen Cang had to ask some necessary questions which could provide many critical clues for the resuscitation!


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s voice, the man took a deep breath, his voice trembling, after all, the patient was about to get married and ended up in the ER unconscious¡ªif something went wrong¡­ this would be a nightmare!


    The man was getting angry, tried to calm his emotions, as worry and anger entwined, making his tone sound somber!


    ¡°Hello Doctor, Xiao Gang hasn¡¯t been sick; he had a medical check-up when he joined his job last year, everything was normal. As for hereditary diseases in the family¡­ I have high blood pressure, nothing else!¡±


    After finishing, the man¡¯s voice trembled, ¡°Doctor, you must save him. I¡¯ll be there soon; money is not an issue, nothing is an issue, please help! He¡¯s getting married tomorrow!¡±


    At that point, Xiao Lin said to Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, the monitor is connected!¡±


    Chen Cang handed the phone back to the man and without hesitation, turned and entered the resuscitation room.


    Outside, the man was pacing back and forth, his face full of resentment and guilt!


    It was all his fault!


    Why drink so much?


    Didn¡¯t he know there were important matters these two days?


    The two had been friends since childhood, and as the groom was his brother, he had even taken two days off just to help out.


    The more you fear trouble, the more likely it is to come!


    At such a critical moment, he was sent to ER 120!


    Thinking of this, the man immediately raised his hand and slapped himself across the face, a crisp sound ringing out as he was filled with self-reproach.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the emergency room, Chen Cang¡¯s first thought was alcohol poisoning!


    After all, considering the information collected, the patient had a history of long-term alcohol consumption with a rather high tolerance, and he had been particularly tired and had poor appetite recently.


    At this moment, Xiaolin said:


    ¡°Blood pressure 110/70mmHg!¡±


    ¡°Respirations 20 per minute!¡±


    ¡°Heart rate 70 beats per minute!¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Cang immediately frowned; blood pressure, heart rate, and respirations were normal. What exactly was the problem?


    This didn¡¯t quite match the symptoms of alcohol poisoning, did it?


    Chen Cang quickly checked the pupils. The pupils were also normal, not dilated as would be expected with alcohol poisoning!


    After alcohol poisoning, blood pressure generally rises or falls, heart rate increases, respiratory rhythm and frequency become abnormal, body temperature lowers, and neurological reflexes weaken!


    This was different from alcohol poisoning!


    At this point, the ECG was available. Chen Cang took the ECG, examined it carefully, and there were no abnormalities on it either!


    This was very strange.


    What exactly was causing the coma?


    But¡­ it was better to check for alcohol first.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang said, ¡°Check the ethanol concentration in the exhaled air.¡±


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly thought of something and quickly turned to Xiaolin, saying, ¡°Check the blood sugar immediately!¡±


    Xiaolin was about to leave but turned back, picked up the glucometer, and began testing the blood sugar.


    Blood sugar tests are quite quick.


    When the test strip had finished, Xiaolin¡¯s eyes widened in shock.


    She could not have anticipated that the blood sugar would be like this.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, it¡¯s only 2.5mmol/L!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face lit up with joy as he had already been suspicious.


    He quickly said, ¡°Inject 40 millilitres of 50% glucose intravenously! Then give 250 millilitres of 5% glucose intravenous drip!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xiaolin turned and rushed out to prepare the solution.


    To be honest, she never thought that drinking could cause low blood sugar¡­


    Isn¡¯t alcohol made from grain?


    How can drinking lead to low blood sugar?


    Xiaolin was somewhat bewildered!


    ¡­

    ps: Delivering the fifth update, I will slowly add up to 50 updates; I hope everyone can understand.


    Thanks to Alliance Hierarch Sleeves Flapping in the Wind for the 20,000 reward, thank you.


    And to Jing Qiu Xue¡¯s 10,000 reward, and ¡°Hellcat¡± friend, starting your second round already, haha, thank you for your reward, and unknowingly, you¡¯ve become a protector, thank you!


    I will try my best to write, thank you all for your support.

 Chapter 465 - Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Doctor, Im Sure Im Sick!

    Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Doctor, I¡¯m Sure I¡¯m Sick!


    ¡°`


    After injecting 40 ml of 50% dextrose intravenously, the patient slowly opened his eyes a few minutes later.


    He looked around drowsily, his face the picture of confusion.


    At that moment, Chen Cang saw the man and smiled, ¡°Awake now?¡±


    The man nodded, took a look around, and focusing on Chen Cang¡¯s white coat, curiously asked, ¡°Am I in the hospital?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°Yes, the emergency resuscitation room.¡±


    The man sat up with some effort, ¡°Doctor, what happened to me?¡±


    Chen Cang replied, ¡°Hypoglycemia caused the coma.¡±


    The man was immediately startled, ¡°That¡¯s not right. How could I have hypoglycemia? I¡¯m diabetic! I must be in a diabetic coma!¡±


    The man¡¯s words made Chen Cang burst into laughter.


    Xu Dongdong also looked somewhat puzzled. Right, the patient has diabetes, he has high blood sugar, and he had been drinking; how could he suffer from hypoglycemia?


    After all, to most people, alcohol, being the essence of grains, is supposed to be nutritious after one drinks it. How could it possibly cause hypoglycemia?


    Chen Cang laughed again, and seeing that the man had stabilized and there was nothing much to worry about, he said to Xu Dongdong, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s take him to the observation room.¡±


    As soon as the man heard that, his face changed, ¡°No, no, no, Doctor, I feel like I¡¯m sick. You must not have finished the examination, right? CT scans, MRI, blood tests, and all that. I think we should check thoroughly!¡±


    ¡°Really, I must be sick; otherwise, how could my high blood sugar suddenly drop to hypoglycemia? Every day after meals, it¡¯s around fifteen. There must be something you haven¡¯t figured out! Doctor, I¡¯m about to get married, if I really have some serious illness¡­ you can¡¯t delay the bride!¡±


    With a serious expression on his face, the man was deathly afraid that Chen Cang would take him out of the resuscitation room, ¡°Doctor, I think the resuscitation room is safer. Just in case anything happens to me, you can respond in time!¡±


    ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve been feeling weak lately. There must be something wrong. Right¡­ Now we can test for genes, right? Should I have that checked too?¡±


    The man¡¯s speech left Chen Cang and the others dumbfounded!


    They were somewhat at a loss for words!


    Where do you find someone who keeps insisting that they¡¯re sick?


    Little Lin and Lele were also struggling to hold back their laughter.


    Seeing Lele trying to contain himself so hard that his face turned purple and his heavy body shuddered, Chen Cang, not wanting the kid to suffocate, quickly told Lele, ¡°Lele, go notify his family. The patient is now fairly stable.¡±


    At this, Lele hurriedly ran out. If you looked at him from the front, you would definitely see the flesh of this several-hundred-pound creature shaking with laughter, his facial features distorted in mirth, laughing inhumanely!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this time, Big Fatty stood at the entrance of the resuscitation room, full of regret that he had drunk the night before.


    The more he thought about it, the more guilt he felt!


    Just then, a rush of hurried footsteps sounded, and as Big Fatty looked up, he saw it was his brother¡¯s parents and fianc¨¦e approaching.


    Taking a deep breath, Big Fatty said, ¡°Uncle, Auntie, and Lingling, you¡¯re here!¡±


    The middle-aged man looked serious as he gazed at the man, ¡°Big Fatty, how is he doing now?¡±


    Big Fatty shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know, he¡¯s in the resuscitation room. Uncle, it¡¯s all my fault! I didn¡¯t keep an eye on him¡­¡±


    The man shook his head, patting Big Fatty on the arm, ¡°Don¡¯t feel guilty. I know my son; he¡¯s no good. He must have been unable to control himself and went drinking again!¡±


    The middle-aged woman glared at the man, ¡°Okay, this is not the time to get angry.¡±


    The young woman beside them looked worried!


    That¡¯s how people are, full of trepidation. The closer something wonderful is to happening, the more they worry something bad will happen.


    At that moment, Lele finally stopped laughing at the door, pushed it open, and saw a group of people staring at him.


    Lele asked, ¡°Who is Zhang Xiaogang¡¯s family?¡±


    Then, the group hurriedly responded, ¡°I am!¡±


    Seeing so many people, Lele advised, ¡°Come with me. Don¡¯t be noisy inside; the patient is alright now.¡±


    With one sentence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!


    As long as it¡¯s nothing serious, that¡¯s good, that¡¯s good!


    The four people quickly followed Lele inside.


    ¡°`


    At that moment, the patient was still there explaining to Chen Cang the fact that he was ill!


    ¡°Doctor, please check carefully, I really am sick!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t let it get delayed¡­¡±


    A group of people watched Zhang Xiaogang bouncing around energetically, giving orders while sitting on the bed, looking vibrant in every way¡ªhardly the image of a sick person¡­ But! If one really had to point out something amiss, it seemed like his brain wasn¡¯t working properly¡­


    Could it be an aftereffect of the coma?


    Because Zhang Xiaogang kept insisting he was ill!


    Urging Chen Cang to give him a thorough checkup!


    The four people who had just come in were suddenly a bit stunned.


    Everyone looked on at the scene with blank expressions, at a loss for what to do.


    It was only¡­ the man¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Lingling, who showed a look of sorrow upon seeing him like this!


    Could it be that he was having second thoughts?


    Was he pretending to be sick to avoid marrying her?


    Was he really¡­


    At this thought, Lingling¡¯s face grew sad, and she felt somewhat wronged as she turned to leave.


    Since women are more sensitive, the man¡¯s mother, a middle-aged woman, seemed to sense something off and quickly turned to hold onto Lingling, ¡°Lingling, don¡¯t be hasty, let¡¯s see what the doctor says.¡±


    At this time, Zhang Xiaogang¡¯s father stepped forward, glanced down at his unreliable son, then looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Doctor, what¡¯s the situation with my son?¡±


    Chen Cang looked up, saw the middle-aged man, and said, ¡°It was a coma caused by low blood sugar, nothing serious. After going home and resting well, he should be fine. He¡¯s probably been too busy and tired lately, and hasn¡¯t been resting well, so it triggered this. Oh, and for the future, it would be better to avoid alcohol!¡±


    Hearing what Chen Cang said, Zhang Xiaogang replied, ¡°I have diabetes, high blood sugar, and I drank so much alcohol, how could it be low blood sugar?¡±


    Chen Cang, feeling helpless, asked, ¡°High blood sugar, then did you take your medicine this morning?¡±


    The man nodded, ¡°Yes, I manage it very well, I take metformin orally every day.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°It¡¯s good that you took metformin. If you had been taking insulin shots, you might have had a problem today!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man said, ¡°Since when did you have diabetes? I had no idea!¡±


    Lingling sighed, ¡°Uncle, Auntie, he found out during a physical examination last year. The doctor said it was not serious and to try taking some metformin.¡±


    After hearing this, the middle-aged couple couldn¡¯t help but sigh, unaware of this fact!


    The man smiled awkwardly: ¡°Dad, Mum, I just didn¡¯t want to worry you.¡±


    Chen Cang continued, ¡°Metformin is the most commonly used sugar-lowering medication and unlike other sugar-lowering medications, metformin doesn¡¯t cause hypoglycemia. But metformin reduces the absorption of sugar and inhibits gluconeogenesis, and under the combined effects with alcohol, caused the occurrence of low blood sugar.¡±


    As he spoke, Chen Cang continued, ¡°Right, drinking alcohol does not raise blood sugar, and alcohol is not the essence of food.¡±


    ¡°The human body gets sugar partly from the sugar in food, and partly from proteins and fats converting into sugar, a process called gluconeogenesis.


    You haven¡¯t been eating lately, and with insufficient blood sugar intake, at times like this your liver glycogen breaks down to release sugar to maintain your daily consumption.


    Alcohol not only inhibits gluconeogenesis but also suppresses the breakdown of liver glycogen, which caused the hypoglycemia.¡±


    After hearing this, the man suddenly came to a realization!


    And Lingling, looking at Zhang Xiaogang, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Zhang Xiaogang, you¡¯re not trying to stay in the hospital because you don¡¯t want to marry me, are you?¡±


    After saying this, she turned and walked away!


    Seeing this, Zhang Xiaogang got out of bed and was about to run¡­


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help laughing. Now there was no need to worry about not leaving the emergency room.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: The sixth update is here, and I¡¯ll continue to work hard tomorrow, adding more chapters.


    Starting today, I will cloister myself to write diligently. I¡¯m an author, and all I need to do is write well, all the other miscellaneous things don¡¯t matter. Writing the book well is stronger than anything else.


    2020, focus exclusively on writing! Finally, I¡¯d like to ask for your monthly votes, the beginning of the month brings double points, thank you everyone!

 Chapter 466 - Chapter 466: Chapter 466: I Have a Premonition!

    Chapter 466: Chapter 466: I Have a Premonition!


    Chen Cang looked at Zhang Xiaogang who had just been impossible to persuade to leave, and as soon as he saw his wife run off, he immediately chased after her!


    Suddenly, he understood a principle: there¡¯s no man that a woman can¡¯t handle. If one woman can¡¯t manage, try another!


    Like right now!


    Chen Cang was dragged to the on-call room, and if it weren¡¯t for the fact that the durian wasn¡¯t cut open, he would have thought Qin Yue had bought it for herself!


    But, men should understand that durian only releases its charming fragrance after it has come into close contact with a kneecap.


    As they say, durian pairs best with a knee!


    [Ding! Task completed, surgical participation at 76%. Congratulations, you have received Thoracic Great Vessel Trauma Repair: Descending Aortic Rupture Repair (Master Level)]


    Chen Cang opened the task panel and immediately saw the system¡¯s notification sound play.


    How delightful!


    Descending Aortic Rupture Repair, it¡¯s a skill involved in cardiovascular surgical repair that could probably also be used in the national cardiothoracic surgery skills competition.


    Chen Cang, having nothing better to do, went straight into the training space!


    The descending aorta is divided into the thoracic aorta and the abdominal aorta.


    In fact, thoracic descending aortic repair is essentially thoracic aortic repair.


    During this learning session, Chen Cang did not just simply learn the surgical methods but paid more attention to how to improve his vascular suturing skills.


    After all, surgery is all about sticking to fundamental principles!


    Once the standard surgical steps are understood, it¡¯s then just a matter of a few aspects.


    The first is to start with an overall strategy, comprehensive analysis, and consideration, coming up with the best surgical plan and choices.


    The second is to focus on the details; details determine success or failure and also the level of execution. As long as one handles every detail well and anticipates problems, that¡¯s how one truly improves the success rate of surgeries and reduces complications!


    And the third aspect that can enhance the overall surgical effect is the surgeon¡¯s basic skills!


    The human body is comprised of skin, muscles, fascia, organs, vessels, nerves ¡­ etc., and when you handle each detail properly, your surgical ability naturally improves.


    Right now, Chen Cang¡¯s only perfect basic skill was Tendon Suture Surgery.


    This is the core and the essential foundation of hand surgery. Once you do well in this, everything else will start to fall into place.


    Next, Chen Cang aimed to master vascular suturing!


    So many human surgeries involve vascular manipulation, which has always been Chen Cang¡¯s forte.


    Over the past few days, Chen Cang had been continuously researching how to make vascular suturing more successful.


    Time in the special training space seemed to truly make one unaware of fatigue and monotony.


    When he opened his eyes again, Chen Cang shook his head.


    He still hadn¡¯t grasped the underlying principles!


    Chen Cang got up and stretched his body, feeling hesitant about whether to use the [Special Training Card] for vascular suturing training or not.


    After pondering for a while, he still shook his head.


    He already had a decent foundation in vascular suturing, so there was no need to waste a special training card on it.


    Moreover, Chen Cang wanted to explore and find ways to improve on his own.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Qin Yue had left before the end of her shift, and nobody knew where she had gone.


    Li Baoshan saw it, turned a blind eye, and chose to pretend he hadn¡¯t seen anything.


    It was better just to ignore it.


    Since Qin Yue was quite independent now and soon to transfer to general surgery, Li Baoshan didn¡¯t pay much attention to her.


    Qin Xiaoyuan, on the other hand, had been somewhat distracted that morning, and despite intending to leave before noon, ended up having to stay because there were unusually many people coming in to sign off on procedures.


    Qin Xiaoyuan had no choice but to stay until twelve!


    Just as it was time to leave, Qin Xiaoyuan got up, ready to head home, when Tan Liguo pushed the door open and came in.


    Tan Liguo looked at Qin Xiaoyuan and couldn¡¯t help but smile, asking, ¡°Director Qin, ready to leave work?¡±


    Upon seeing Tan Liguo, Qin Xiaoyuan was momentarily stunned, after all¡­ this guy never usually came in, what was it this time¡­?


    ¡°Secretary Tan? What¡¯s up?¡±


    Tan Liguo smiled slightly, trying hard to appear amiable, huh!


    ¡°It¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve had a chat with Director Qin. I was thinking, how about we have lunch together at noon, sit down and have a talk?¡±


    Tan Liguo decided to try and ease the relationship with Qin Xiaoyuan.


    After all, with today¡¯s events, Qin Xiaoyuan had shown goodwill towards him, allowing him to take more interviews.


    Originally, he thought this was some kind of conspiracy on his part, but after pondering all morning, he couldn¡¯t figure it out. Then, he slapped his forehead!


    Maybe he was overthinking it!


    This must be a signal from Qin Xiaoyuan!


    It might not be a big deal.


    But¡­ it¡¯s an attitude!


    Tan Liguo felt that this was a signal from Qin Xiaoyuan wanting to make amends with him.


    With this in mind, Tan Liguo then decided to give the other party an out, invite Old Qin for a meal at noon, make amends, and end the cold war.


    But Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback.


    He looked at Tan Liguo with suspicion, feeling that¡­ something was off everywhere!


    If there¡¯s unseemly eagerness to help, it¡¯s either a trap or a theft¡­


    What was Tan Liguo¡¯s true motive in finding him?


    There must be a catch, at the very least a double-cross, or even a royal flush.


    With that, Qin Xiaoyuan decided to play it cool, quickly smiling and saying, ¡°Yo! Secretary Tan, what a coincidence today! My wife has just finished cooking; how about you come over to eat with us?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tan Liguo immediately smiled, ¡°No problem, no problem! Let¡¯s get together another day!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan also nodded cheerfully, ¡°Sure, we¡¯ll find a time to sit down another day.¡±


    With that said, he got up and hurried home.


    On the way, Old Qin¡¯s mind was a mess, one thing was the unscrupulous Mingming¡¯s affair, and the other was the sinister Secretary Tan.


    Ai, up to this point, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh!


    Internal and external troubles, indeed!


    Why am I so tired?


    But what he was most concerned about was still the issue with Mingming. The closer he got to home, the more he had a bad feeling.


    After pushing the door open and entering, he suddenly paused, ¡°It smells great!¡±


    Qin Yue suddenly ran out of the room, grinning, ¡°Dad¡¯s back? Take a seat and rest, I¡¯ve brewed some tea for you, and one more dish is about to be ready. You rest for a bit, Mom will be back soon.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback for a moment, looking at the three dishes neatly laid out on the table, with a pot of hot tea still steaming on the coffee table.


    This was clearly the scene of a warm and happy family of three!


    How did it resemble unscrupulous Mingming?


    This was clearly a small down vest from good-quality down.


    However¡­ Old Qin was still a bit uneasy. He carefully set down his bag and smilingly said, ¡°Yueyue, you left work so early today? The dishes look great; my daughter has such great talent!¡±


    As he spoke, he moved inconspicuously toward the bedroom, ¡°I¡¯ll change my clothes and come help you!¡±


    Qin Yue hurriedly said, ¡°Dad, you don¡¯t have to do anything. Just rest, today I want to honor the both of you!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt something was wrong and wanted increasingly to get to the bottom of it!

 Chapter 467 - Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Im Looking for a Piece of Clothing!

    Chapter 467: Chapter 467: I¡¯m Looking for a Piece of Clothing!


    Qin Xiaoyuan took advantage of Qin Yue returning to the kitchen to stir-fry dishes and sneaked into the bedroom.


    He was about to open the closet!


    Suddenly!


    Just then, the door opened, startling Old Qin, whose face suddenly changed color.


    He quickly stood up and lay back, sitting on the bed, pretending as if nothing was amiss.


    Turning to look at Ji Ruyun, he suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Wife, you¡¯re back?¡±


    Ji Ruyun gazed at the sneaky Old Qin and immediately asked curiously, ¡°Old Qin, what are you doing? Sneaking around!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan chuckled, ¡°I¡­I¡­it¡¯s getting cold, I¡¯m looking for a piece of clothing!¡±


    Ji Ruyun stared at Qin Xiaoyuan, her brow slightly furrowed, her eyes full of Sherlock Holmes¡¯ curiosity and wisdom. Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly raised her finger at Qin Xiaoyuan.


    With a strange smile, she said, ¡°Oh! I know, Old Qin, hand it over!¡±


    Ji Ruyun watched Old Qin with a smile, then slowly opened her hand.


    Qin Xiaoyuan immediately became dumbfounded: ¡°Hand over what?¡±


    Ji Ruyun walked closer with a smile, ¡°You tell me what thing!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was cornered and saw his wife¡¯s smile becoming more and more spooky. He couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Wait, wait, wait, wife, I really don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about!¡±


    Ji Ruyun was taken aback and said with a laugh, ¡°So, I have to frisk you, is that it?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly froze: ¡°I truly don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about!¡±


    Ji Ruyun, seeing Qin Xiaoyuan still not giving up, suddenly said with a smile, ¡°Alright, Old Qin, after all these years, I never knew you had the habit of hiding private money. Come on, hand it over!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was stunned, his eyes wide as he looked at Ji Ruyun incredulously: ¡°What private money! Wife, you¡¯ve got it wrong, where do I have any private money? Isn¡¯t my salary card tied to you? The cards my WeChat and Alipay are linked to are all recorded in your phone. You can see every penny I spend!¡±


    Ji Ruyun just smiled and said nothing, ¡°Hand it over today, and all is well! If you don¡¯t, be careful, I might have to get physical!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback, ¡°I¡­ I really don¡¯t have any!¡±


    Ji Ruyun replied, ¡°The closet, is it? Stand back, come out, I¡¯ll check it myself!¡±


    With that, Ji Ruyun was about to walk inside.


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face suddenly changed, his day was not going well!


    He had lost both his wife and his soldiers!


    But at this moment, Qin Yue suddenly said, ¡°Dad, Mom, time to eat.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan immediately said, ¡°Wife, let¡¯s eat first, we can search after!¡±


    Ji Ruyun looked at Qin Xiaoyuan, her face full of suspicion: ¡°Do you have a guilty conscience?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was momentarily stunned, ¡°Come on, what guilty conscience would I have, and besides, you¡¯ve never restricted my spending, what¡¯s the point of me hiding private money!¡±


    Ji Ruyun immediately said with suspicion, ¡°Then what were you just doing?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan whispered in Ji Ruyun¡¯s ear, ¡°Let me tell you, I saw Little Chen at the hospital today, and he was wearing a cashmere sweater exactly like mine! I suspect¡­ maybe Yueyue secretly gave it to that lad Chen Cang!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyun immediately froze, a look of astonishment on her face: ¡°No way? Could Little Qin do such a thing?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded; he didn¡¯t know whether it was possible before, but now it definitely seemed possible!


    ¡°Don¡¯t you remember my suit?¡±


    On hearing this, Ji Ruyun quickly opened the closet and immediately saw the khaki sweater hanging there.


    She breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°There it is, safe and sound!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was dumbstruck: could it be that he had misjudged Yueyue?


    Could it actually be that Yueyue was not the black-hearted sort?


    At this moment, Qin Yue said cheerfully, ¡°Dad, Mom, dinner¡¯s ready!¡±


    Ji Ruyun glared at Qin Xiaoyuan, ¡°You and your wild imaginations, look at the delicious meal your daughter has cooked for you, yet you still doubt your own girl. Oh, Qin, oh Qin, have you been an official for too long?¡±


    Unable to help it, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face reddened as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat, let¡¯s eat!¡±


    During the meal, Qin Xiaoyuan felt a bit awkward!


    Could it really be that his suspicions were too strong?


    At this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan remembered what happened today after work with Tan Liguo.


    He couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    It seemed that he truly needed to reflect on himself. Perhaps Secretary Tan did want to offer him a way out, as a gesture of goodwill!


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue, of course, had no idea that a cashmere sweater had further eased the relationship between Qin Xiaoyuan and Tan Liguo, the two helmsmen of the Second Provincial Hospital.

    After work in the afternoon, Chen Cang, as usual, darted towards the cardiothoracic surgery department at the East University First Hospital.


    To his surprise, as soon as he entered the cardiothoracic surgery office, he saw that ¡°The Three Scholars of Cardiac Surgery¡± hadn¡¯t left work yet!


    Each of them was energetically engrossed in their work.


    Ge Huai noticed Chen Cang and nodded before diving back into his work.


    This made Chen Cang somewhat curious. Could it be¡­ they actually enjoyed working overtime?


    At that moment, Meng Xi walked in, his eyes lighting up when he saw Chen Cang. ¡°Is Little Chen here?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, hello Teacher Meng, have there been a lot of patients lately?¡±


    Meng Xi shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s been okay. Pretty much the usual. Oh, by the way, we have two surgeries later. You should come with me.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Alright!¡±


    At that, Ge Huai quickly stood up, ¡°Teacher Meng, let me join you!¡±


    Meng Xi laughed as he looked at Ge Huai and said, ¡°Dr. Ge, you should rest a bit earlier. You¡¯ve already done two or three surgeries today. Don¡¯t overwork yourself, Little Chen and I will be enough!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ge Huai laughed and replied, ¡°No worries, I work out!¡±


    ¡°We cardiothoracic surgeons should have strong physiques!¡±


    Scholar Two froze for a moment and looked up enviously at Ge Huai¡¯s receding hairline and prominent ¡°abs.¡± He sighed, sat in the chair, touched the two layers of fat belted into his belly, and resolved to start working out the next day. His goal was to mold these two layers into one, and then split it into four!


    Meanwhile, Scholar Three quietly took out a notebook and added a new task: Buy a wig!


    Meng Xi said with a smile, ¡°You guys should head off soon to rest.¡±


    Everyone chuckled, as Scholar Two responded quickly, ¡°No worries, I would also be reading if I went home. Being here doesn¡¯t make a difference!¡±


    Scholar Three nodded and added with a laugh, ¡°Right, and it even saves a lot of electricity bills!¡±


    This comment immediately provoked laughter from a few of the nurses.


    Unable to hide his joy, Scholar Three felt his recent dedication to humor training had not been in vain!


    Ge Huai and Scholar Two instantly became alert, they had agreed to compete fairly, but this guy had secretly taken extra lessons!


    This was against the principles of fairness¡­


    At that thought, Ge Huai shook his head. No, he needed to study overtime tonight too and practice how to become a humorous, witty, healthy, and strong surgeon!

 Chapter 468 - Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Ill Do the Separation!

    Chapter 468: Chapter 468: I¡¯ll Do the Separation!


    In the changing room of the operating theater, Meng Xi put on her clothes, feeling quite excited about the upcoming surgery!


    She had crammed hard on cardiac surgery these past few days; this holiday had not been a time of rest, which had finally resulted in significant improvement. Today was the day to give Chen Cang a big surprise.


    It was time to show him the prowess of a mentor!


    In fact, Meng Xi, who was a mentor for the first time, didn¡¯t quite know how to be a teacher.


    Long influenced by Western concepts, she wasn¡¯t too comfortable with the traditional belief that one should revere their teacher as they would their parent for life.


    She also preferred a relationship with Chen Cang that was both mentor and friend!


    But then again¡­ she was a teacher after all, she couldn¡¯t be outdone by a student, right?


    With this thought, Meng Xi sped up the process of getting dressed!


    Unfortunately, the clothes were still too small and tight.


    If she chose a larger size, the collar would be too loose. Recalling the last time they washed up, and Chen Cang¡¯s awkward situation, Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but let out a laugh.


    Thinking about it, Meng Xi chuckled, quickly changing into a looser set of clothes!


    Yes, this felt much more comfortable!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    While scrubbing up, Chen Cang stood motionless, his eyes fixed straight on his hands, not looking away, prompting Meng Xi to burst out laughing.


    Hearing Meng Xi¡¯s laughter, Chen Cang took it to heart, planning to give her a thorough critique during surgery later!


    This was a disobedient teacher!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang gritted his teeth, determined to do just that!


    As the surgery began, Meng Xi¡¯s approach to opening the pericardium instantly made Chen Cang somewhat taken aback!


    It was quite exceptional, an impressive angle!


    This approach made it just right to reach the surgical field, very commendable.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t resist praising her, ¡°That incision is awesome!¡±


    Meng Xi smiled subtly, pretending to be inscrutable.


    But Chen Cang snickered coldly, still pretending? Your inner thoughts have already betrayed you!


    [Ding! Meng Xi¡¯s favorability +1!]


    Are you this pleased already?


    And still acting nonchalant¡­


    Childish!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling excited internally.


    He seemed to have found a path to fortune; with Mentor Meng, one should suppress then praise!


    By criticizing first and then offering compliments, the rewards that came seemed to be much richer.


    However, Meng Xi¡¯s surgery really took Chen Cang by surprise this time.


    Today¡¯s Meng Xi was drastically different from before, with substantial progress, especially in the grasp of details.


    It was as if she had suddenly stepped out of her former shadows!


    A transformation!


    Moreover, some parts of her performance were quite stunning to Chen Cang.


    It goes without saying that everyone has their unique insights and feelings about surgery.


    Thus, the two engaged in discussion while progressing through the operation.


    They both had much to gain.


    Chen Cang, however, didn¡¯t hold back in praising Mentor Meng and occasionally pretended to be ¡°shocked¡±.


    This approach was very effective on Mentor Meng!


    After all, a single surgery could add 5 points of favorability; what could be more rewarding than that?


    The second surgery was a pericardial cyst excision, not very difficult. Although he was just assisting, Chen Cang felt completely capable of conducting this operation himself.


    Heart surgery was essentially a few types: the elementary pericardial surgeries; the intermediate procedures on the aorta or blood vessels; the more advanced surgeries on the valves at the junction of the blood vessels and the heart, including valve diseases within the heart itself; and the highly complex cardiac surgeries, even including heart transplants.


    Chen Cang¡¯s learning process was also gradual.


    It was about ten o¡¯clock at night by the time the second surgery was finished.


    As the two were laughing and discussing something, preparing to leave the operating room, Meng Xi¡¯s phone rang.


    After answering, it was the nurse from the cardiac surgery unit: ¡°Director Meng, during a thoracic surgery, the patient encountered an emergency situation and needs timely help. Are you still in the operating room?¡±


    Fortunately, Meng Xi hadn¡¯t left yet. Hearing the news, he immediately frowned and hurriedly asked, ¡°I¡¯m here. Which operating room are they in?¡±


    The nurse said, ¡°Operating room 12. Go ask the duty doctor there.¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s expression changed, and he hurried towards operating room 12.


    At this moment, the gap between the surgery departments of Dongda First Hospital and the Provincial Second Hospital was apparent.


    Not to mention the number of operating rooms, it was already ten o¡¯clock at night, but many of the operating rooms at Dongda First Hospital were still in use!


    How many could Provincial Second Hospital have at this time?


    Therefore, by glimpsing a part one can learn about the whole, and the gap was self-evident!


    At this time, the duty nurse in the operating room seemed to have received the message and hurried over: ¡°Director Meng, operating room 12 needs assistance from cardiac surgery.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded hurriedly, anxious to wash his hands and enter the operating room!


    Such emergency situations in the operating room were all too common, occurring almost every day.


    Similarly, this cross-disciplinary collaboration precisely reflected the strength of a hospital.


    After Meng Xi and Chen Cang hurried in, the duty nurse, who had been waiting for some time, quickly helped them change into their surgical wear!


    While changing, Meng Xi looked up and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡±


    Jing Ran said with a frown, ¡°It¡¯s a bit complicated. Director Meng, come take a look at this situation and decide how we should proceed.¡±


    Chen Cang was also slightly startled, realizing it was Jing Ran.


    However, Jing Ran obviously did not notice Chen Cang, as the operation at hand prevented any relaxation.


    Following Meng Xi forward, Chen Cang approached the operating table and got a clear view of the situation inside the chest cavity.


    Jing Ran said, ¡°This is a surgery for a retained foreign object. The patient underwent a thoracic operation ten years ago, and due to various reasons, a piece of gauze was left inside the patient¡¯s chest cavity. Over the years, the patient increasingly felt discomfort in the chest!¡±


    ¡°It was only after coming to the hospital for an examination that we discovered the foreign object in the chest cavity. I then arranged for them to undergo thoracic exploration! As you can see now, I don¡¯t dare to remove the gauze lightly, especially since it has become entangled around the aorta, and the situation is a bit troubling!¡±


    Indeed, the gauze inside the chest cavity had already rotted away to residue, but these remnants, combined with mucus, had adhered to the blood vessels, trachea, and esophagus together within the chest cavity!


    The situation inside the chest cavity was very bad, with infection and adhesions being only some of the issues.


    Therefore, Jing Ran dared not act rashly for fear of damaging the aorta during separation and causing massive bleeding.


    But by this time, the aorta had already been damaged by the foreign object and scar tissue had formed, causing a narrowing of the vessel!


    Chen Cang noticed that the patient had already developed collateral circulation due to the long-term narrowing of the aorta, making the surgery even more complicated.


    Meng Xi frowned, pondering over how to proceed!


    In his mind, a variety of surgical possibilities appeared.


    After a while, Meng Xi took a deep breath, ¡°We need to separate first, otherwise, we can¡¯t even control the bleeding!¡±


    ¡°But during the separation, we must be careful of damaging the blood vessels, trachea, and esophagus. The difficulty is a bit high.¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s words were clear, separation was necessary first, but it required someone with skills in both cardiac and thoracic surgery.


    At this time, Jing Ran also felt a surge of pressure.


    He took a deep breath and nodded, ¡°All right, Director Meng, you keep an eye on the blood vessels for now, and I will handle the separation!¡±


    Jing Ran knew that at this time, he couldn¡¯t avoid his duty; what he needed to do, he couldn¡¯t shrink back from!


    This made Chen Cang somewhat admire him!


    Honestly speaking, Jing Ran was indeed an exceptional talent.


    Not only did he have the capabilities of a director, but he also had the sense of responsibility and commitment expected of one!


    Such a person, no matter what, had a bright future ahead of him!

    PS: Today I will continue with six updates, trying hard to increase the number.


    During the double points period, I hope to receive everyone¡¯s vote support. After all, one vote is equivalent to two, what a deal¡­


    Asking for monthly tickets!

 Chapter 469 - Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Relay Baton

    Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Relay Baton


    Jing Ran looked at the chest cavity that was adhered like a garbage can!


    He couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    As a doctor, one really needed to be patient, otherwise in such a tangled mess, he really wanted to just crumple it all up and throw it away.


    He forced himself to calm down and kept thinking from different perspectives. How would his teacher handle this situation?


    Jing Ran liked this mode of thinking because at times like this, he always managed to find special discoveries.


    Perhaps the teacher would definitely first stabilize the thoracic aorta, then separate the esophagus and trachea, as well as the surrounding chest cavity adhesions, right?


    At that moment, Jing Ran suddenly thought of Chen Cang!


    If Doctor Chen were to do it, how would he proceed?


    Everyone has different characteristics; Chen Cang¡¯s techniques are youthful and steady, perhaps his separation would be more reliable?


    Jing Ran couldn¡¯t help but sigh. If only¡­ Chen Cang were here!


    Looking at the young doctor beside him who was at a loss, Jing Ran couldn¡¯t help but sigh again. Such surgery really demanded a lot from a partner.


    Chen Cang watched the mess with a sense of trepidation!


    [Ding! A level 50 high-difficulty dungeon discovered! Join it, complete the surgery successfully, and receive generous dungeon rewards!]


    Chen Cang was slightly startled, not expecting such a complex surgery to become a high-level difficulty surgical dungeon.


    However, it really did deserve to be called a high-difficulty dungeon; all the ¡°monsters¡± inside were about elite level, and dealing with them would indeed be as exhausting as clearing a major dungeon!


    Chen Cang, looking at the entire chest cavity, also couldn¡¯t help but become serious. While Jing Ran was contemplating earlier, he hadn¡¯t stopped thinking.


    He was also considering how to proceed!


    As his eyes continually took in the adhesion situation, he could see the degree of penetration between the gauze and tissue. Some materials had already embedded themselves in the esophagus, making separation highly unlikely. The best choice might be to cut out a damaged section and then suture the ends together squarely.


    The esophagus needed to be dealt with, the trachea was the same, and the thorniest issue was still the thoracic aorta!


    With the gauze having been adhered for a long time, the surrounding scar tissue had thickened, and Chen Cang could clearly see the thoracic aorta wall protruding like a tumor.


    Although it was not very large, it definitely needed to be removed, with the narrowed section excised, and then reconnected end-to-end.


    This was truly a high-difficulty dungeon!


    What Chen Cang had mentioned was only about the large organs and tissues, the visible dangers, but beyond that, there were many invisible hazards.


    And indeed, these were the most troublesome!


    There were also the collateral vessels that had formed, including the intercostal arteries that supply blood to the spinal cord. These arteries were very thin and would definitely require careful ligation during separation.


    Not to mention that Jing Ran alone couldn¡¯t complete the operation, even Chen Cang, aided with his ¡®cheat¡¯, was finding it tough!


    This was not an operation that one person could complete alone!


    He had already seen Jing Ran¡¯s helplessness.


    At this time, Chen Cang knew that he could not shy away; he took the initiative and said, ¡°I¡¯ll help you!¡±


    That one sentence made everyone around them suddenly stunned.


    Upon hearing that familiar voice, Jing Ran looked up sharply!


    He met Chen Cang¡¯s resolute eyes, and his heart lifted, feeling a lot more grounded all of a sudden.


    Jing Ran nodded, ¡°Mm!¡±


    He didn¡¯t ask how Chen Cang had arrived, nor why he had come.


    At this very moment, Jing Ran felt as if he was in a situation where he was trapped and suddenly his partner had descended from the sky.


    Chen Cang turned to the nurse and said, ¡°Give me two pieces of gauze, washed with saline.¡±


    The nurse hurriedly nodded!


    Afterwards, Chen Cang placed the gauze between the esophagus and trachea, then took a pair of scissors and looked at Jing Ran, ¡°I¡¯m ready!¡±


    At this moment, Meng Xi, seeing the situation, also protected the ascending aorta, her burden heavy, but she nodded earnestly, ¡°I¡¯m ready too!¡±


    Jing Ran felt the same sensation he had back at Fuwai!


    Reliable teammates!


    He picked up the dissecting forceps and scissors, knowing he needed to cut through the adhesions first!


    Then he¡¯d proceed step by step!


    At this moment, the anesthesiologist announced, ¡°All set, the airway is established, we can proceed with the surgery!¡±


    Jing Ran nodded and began the operations in his hands!


    With each step, he barely needed to speak, as Chen Cang would coordinate seamlessly.


    The two exchanged instruments back and forth, their eye contact speaking volumes: I understand!


    Each move was a result of collaboration!


    Each incision, precise to the point.


    Gradually, Jing Ran got into his stride.


    Chen Cang¡¯s overall control of the surgeries was not as good as Jing Ran¡¯s, and his work on the tracheal anastomosis was even further behind Jing Ran¡¯s.


    The cooperation process was also a learning process!


    Unintentionally glancing at the clock, it was already eleven o¡¯clock. Could this turn into a sleepless night?


    Chen Cang sighed.


    At this point, Jing Ran had completed the tracheal reconstruction, and it was time to separate the esophagus from the surrounding tissue.


    Each separation needed careful attention, the damaged gauze threads embedded in human tissue, some entering the outer membrane of the esophagus, causing adhesion and necrosis.


    Fortunately, with Chen Cang and Meng Xi¡¯s cooperation, the surgery could proceed more smoothly.


    And with the assistance of his eye-extension, Chen Cang would always point out those easily missed or dangerous elements, keeping Jing Ran alert.


    When twelve o¡¯clock arrived, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


    By now, most of the surgery was likely complete.


    With the help of Chen Cang, Meng Xi, and their colleagues, all the gauze wrapped around the esophagus had been thoroughly cleaned, along with the tissues that had been cut and treated.


    After irrigation, the situation inside the thoracic cavity had drastically improved, at least looking orderly at the moment, and not as confused as before.


    Jing Ran¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement!


    It had been so long since he¡¯d felt like this.


    A thoroughly engaging surgery, that unwittingly improved one¡¯s own skills.


    And Jing Ran was feeling exactly this.


    He looked up at Chen Cang, Meng Xi, and his colleagues, nodding gratefully.


    Without them, this successful surgery wouldn¡¯t have been possible!


    There are heroes in the operating room, but no hero fights alone.


    The others nodded back in response. It had to be said, Jing Ran¡¯s intrathoracic surgery skills were really quite remarkable.


    Steady and ordered, never panicking.


    However, it wasn¡¯t the time for mutual praise and celebration, because they all knew the war wasn¡¯t over yet; what awaited them next was the even more difficult task of removing the narrow segment of the ascending aorta.


    Surgery is just like that, a passing of responsibility!


    The baton in his hand needed to be handed over now!


    Meng Xi did not hesitate for a moment to take the baton.


    Next, it was her time to shine.

 Chapter 470 - Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Thanks to the Boss for Not Killing

    Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Thanks to the Boss for Not Killing


    Meng Xi took over the scalpel as if it were a baton!


    What followed was a completely different kind of surgery from the one before!


    And the difficulty increased proportionally.


    Meng Xi glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Construct a temporary vascular bridge.¡±


    Chen Cang immediately nodded.


    During aortic constriction surgery, it is necessary to isolate the segments above and below the constriction in the descending aorta to protect the spinal cord and distal organs from ischemic damage during interruption.


    One can choose hypothermia, but it¡¯s also possible to opt for constructing a temporary vascular bridge and establishing left heart bypass.


    Although choosing to construct a temporary vascular bridge would increase the difficulty of the surgery, this method was more reliable than hypothermia for safety!


    Because no one could be certain how long the subsequent surgery would last.


    There¡¯s a time limit for hypothermia, too long a duration would cause ischemic damage.


    After the vascular scarring changed, was there necrosis of the intima?


    Thus, there was still much to consider.


    Just as everything was proceeding steadily, Meng Xi began to pry open the aortic wall that had piled up into something resembling a tumor due to scar buildup.


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression suddenly changed; he felt there must be more than just vascular scarring!


    Perhaps there was something else.


    At that moment, non-invasive vascular clamps were applied to both ends of the aorta.


    Meng Xi looked up and asked Jing Ran, ¡°Was there angiography done?¡±


    Jing Ran was taken aback and immediately shook his head, ¡°No.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi began to hesitate.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but caution, ¡°Sect Leader Meng, be careful of the back, it might be an aneurysm!¡±


    Meng Xi nodded; she had anticipated this.


    If it were just scar tissue, it wouldn¡¯t be so serious.


    Meng Xi, holding the scalpel, didn¡¯t cut through the vessel wall directly but made an incision to explore.


    When the vessel was opened, Chen Cang immediately saw the presence of the aneurysm, although small, yet substantial!


    [Arterial aneurysm: cystic! lv57.]


    Well!


    This should be good news.


    It wasn¡¯t a malignant tumor.


    However, looking at the base of the aneurysm¡¯s tumor tissue, Chen Cang saw it had begun to extend¡­


    This meant that if the entire tumor tissue was excised, the distance for end-to-end anastomosis wouldn¡¯t be enough!


    Originally, after removing the constricted segment, end-to-end anastomosis could be used to sew the vessel wall, but the presence of the unwelcome ¡°aneurysm¡± made the entire surgery¡¯s difficulty increase proportionally.


    Because it was very likely that after excising all the tumor tissue, the extension distance of the descending aorta wouldn¡¯t be sufficient, and the possibility of an end-to-end anastomosis seemed to be impossible.


    What to do now?


    Vascular grafting?


    Patch repair?


    Or what else?


    Suddenly, many problems were laid out in front of everyone.


    Meng Xi took a deep breath, her brow furrowed tight!


    Do a bypass graft?


    If a bypass graft were performed, it would definitely cause irreversible damage to the patient¡¯s upper limb; in effect, borrowing the vessel that supplies the upper arm to be used for the aorta. While this would work well for the aorta, it might damage the upper arm!


    Just as everyone was unsure how to conclude the matter.


    Chen Cang hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°I have a suggestion.¡±


    Meng Xi looked up at Chen Cang, her eyes lighting up, ¡°What suggestion?¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Let¡¯s create another wound in the descending aorta!¡±


    This thought from Chen Cang suddenly seemed to give Meng Xi a glimmer of an idea, but she also couldn¡¯t quite grasp the specifics, ¡°Be more specific.¡±


    Chen Cang thought for a moment, now was not the time for vagueness!


    Moreover, doing is more detailed than talking!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang directly addressed Meng Xi, ¡°Teacher Meng, hand me the scalpel!¡±


    Meng Xi was startled for a moment before passing the scalpel to Chen Cang.


    Jing Ran couldn¡¯t help but swallow hard.


    What exactly was Chen Cang¡¯s specialty?


    Jing Ran knew he was adept at thoracic surgery.


    But¡­ could it be that he was just as skilled in cardiac surgery?


    At that moment, Chen Cang glanced at Meng Xi and sighed. Another 30 points of favorability were about to be lost.


    He had just gained 5 points of favorability from the last operation, pushing his favorability with Meng Xi past 60 points.


    As a result, he could now exchange for a level three operation.


    Without hesitation, Chen Cang chose to exchange for ¡°Aortic Narrowing Surgery¡±!


    After the exchange, Chen Cang didn¡¯t hesitate to start his training.


    This operation was no longer just a simple ¡°Aortic Narrowing Surgery.¡± It also included an ¡°Aortic Aneurysm¡±, and now Chen Cang was about to add ¡°Aortic Injury¡± to it.


    What Chen Cang needed to do was precisely excise the base of the aortic aneurysm as seen by his eyes. Even with precise excision, if he were to suture it, there would certainly still be narrowing of the aorta.


    What Chen Cang had to do was excise the scar tissue + remove the entire base of the aortic aneurysm + make a cut on the aortic wall.


    Because merely excising the two parts wouldn¡¯t allow for an end-to-end anastomosis of the entire vessel.


    But by adding another cut, the ends would be at an even better angle for joining together!


    What does this mean?


    It means that it wasn¡¯t necessary to remove both ends entirely, but only to excise the aneurysmal and scar tissues. Then, it would definitely be impossible to suture; however, Chen Cang could remove the unsuitable parts with the scalpel, making suturing a possibility.


    With that thought, Chen Cang got down to business without hesitation.


    Picking up the scalpel, he began to precisely excise the aneurysmal tissue from the vessel wall.


    But while excising, Chen Cang intentionally cut a bit more in some areas; next came the scar tissue, requiring him to remove an entire cluster of vessel wall!


    ¡­


    The operation proceeded step by step!


    After Chen Cang removed all the tissue, the two ends became irregular.


    Meng Xi watched the scene with a confused face!


    Even Jing Ran, colleagues, assistants, and the anesthesiologist couldn¡¯t help but offer wry smiles.


    Was this gnawed on by a dog?


    How to suture this!


    Everyone stared at Chen Cang¡¯s rugged and strange two ends, utterly perplexed.


    This would have been better off completely removed!


    At this time, Chen Cang lightly traced a cut on the upper end of the aorta, then brought the two ends together¡­


    Suddenly!


    The whole picture changed dramatically!


    Everyone gasped.


    How the hell does that work?


    Meng Xi, especially, looked at Chen Cang in disbelief, eyes filled with shock.


    Chen Cang was not a surgical doctor; he was clearly a magician!


    The two ends that were gnawed on just now could actually fit tightly together!


    Was this not magic?


    What kind of surgeon plays like this?


    By cleverly using the irregular ends, Chen Cang ingeniously saved the neighboring blood vessel from a close shave!


    The blood vessel next door was spared from transplantation and couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief: Scared me to death, I was almost cut¡­ thank you, big bro, for sparing me.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Hehe, thanks to the big shot Hellcat for the generous reward, becoming Sect Leader, thank you!

 Chapter 471 - Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Cang Er, take a rest now!

    Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Cang Er, take a rest now!


    After the two ends were joined, the previously ragged port suddenly came together!


    Upon witnessing this scene, Meng Xi was momentarily dumbfounded!


    Chen Cang, are you performing magic again?


    This scene was like two jagged edges aligning perfectly, allowing the two ends to fuse seamlessly.


    This incredible scene would undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on everyone present.


    Perhaps once you leave this operating room, you may never see it again, and if you tell others, they simply wouldn¡¯t believe you!


    This mesmerizing moment, magical enough to be the work of a sorcerer, was so astounding it left everyone a bit breathless!


    It turned out that Chen Cang¡¯s earlier repair of the base of the aortic aneurysm wasn¡¯t random trimming at all, but a premeditated plan! It was intentional!


    Yet, it was precisely for this reason that everyone was so shocked!


    What kind of skill does it take to achieve this?


    Forget calling yourself a surgeon, even a designer couldn¡¯t be this precise!


    If they hadn¡¯t seen it with their own eyes, even if the chief said so, they definitely wouldn¡¯t have believed it!


    But, the reality was right there, and everyone couldn¡¯t help but believe it was true.


    Could it be¡­ our gap is that big?


    We treat surgery as a career.


    You treat operations as art!


    So, suturing can be done like this too!


    Alas¡­


    A song suddenly popped into Jing Ran¡¯s mind:


    I can¡¯t say why, but I¡¯ve become very ordinary;


    If you admire someone, even sutures can become magical;


    I want to ask aloud, how are you so successful?


    Even the colleague next door can guess my impulsiveness right now!


    Yearning for you, I can¡¯t¡­


    Jing Ran quickly suppressed these thoughts. After all, his beloved wife was still at home, so he couldn¡¯t let his mind wander.


    But Jing Ran really felt an urge, having such a surgical partner would definitely be a wonderful thing.


    ¡­


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang suspiciously. What on earth was in this kid¡¯s head?


    Did he have a caliper or a laser scanner inside?


    Or perhaps some sort of alignment device in his eyes?


    Otherwise, how could he pull off such an inhuman maneuver?


    Chen Cang was about to start suturing when he suddenly realized that Teacher Meng had started to zone out again.


    Her big eyes were fixed on him, with a desire that almost seemed like she wanted to dissect his brain!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Teacher Meng, would you like to do the suturing?¡±


    Called out by Chen Cang, Meng Xi immediately snapped back to reality.


    But the tone of Chen Cang¡¯s voice was clearly saying, ¡°Hurry up and help, what are you daydreaming about!¡±


    He was treating me like a gofer!


    Thinking this, Meng Xi was instantly indignant. It was just suturing, what¡¯s the big deal?


    Psh!


    While speaking, she turned to the nurse and said, ¡°Number 4 suture.¡±


    The nurse handed over the needle holder.


    Meng Xi took it, glancing at Chen Cang: Just you watch!


    However, when she picked up the needle holder, she suddenly didn¡¯t know where to begin!


    Looking at the port, which resembled a jigsaw puzzle, Meng Xi¡¯s vision darkened, and she became bewildered, her desire to suture vanishing instantly.


    This kid¡­ had concentrated all the difficulty onto the suturing of the thoracic aorta.


    This level of suturing difficulty was much more problematic than a vascular graft¡­ and the precision required was even higher. One careless move, and there could be a hole left in the suture, which was not easy to predict.


    Moreover, the complex pattern of the sutures could leave scars, potentially causing another narrowing of the aorta!


    Thinking about this, Meng Xi¡¯s hands began to tremble!


    She felt it wasn¡¯t fear that gripped her, but the tremendous pressure that was constricting her blood vessels, causing a lack of blood flow to her hands!


    Yet¡­ seeing Chen Cang¡¯s mocking gaze, Meng Xi¡¯s blood boiled with rage, and even the loose surgical gown she was wearing suddenly felt tight against her body.


    It must be said that the doctors at Dongda First Hospital were professional; no matter how Meng Yourong acted, they remained unfazed, focused solely on the operating table!


    If Wang Qian had been given this task, he would have been completely lost!


    ¡­


    Jing Ran and his colleague looked at the rugged anastomosis site on the blood vessel wall, feeling a tingle on the scalp¡ªif this could be sutured, it would truly be remarkable!


    Yet, for some reason, they looked at Director Meng with a hint of pity in their eyes.


    The anesthesiologist, seeing Meng Xi¡¯s dumbstruck expression, couldn¡¯t help but feel the urge to laugh.


    Because suturing this would definitely be troublesome, what was originally a straight line had become an irregular one.


    Meng Xi hesitated, then looked at Chen Cang with a sense of resignation, ¡°Come, I¡¯ll support you. You take the needle!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, took the needle holder, and looked at Meng Xi. What a good student!


    ¡°Ready to support!¡±


    Meng Xi, hearing Chen Cang¡¯s tone, felt as if he was saying, ¡°If you can¡¯t do it, just assist, don¡¯t steal the spotlight, just insert the needle correctly, stand aside, drop the mouse, and wait for the victory ¨C no need to pretend¡­¡±


    Teacher Meng was immediately infuriated!


    This guy!


    Looking down on people!


    You¡¯ve definitely forgotten who is the teacher between us.


    But on the operating table, the bigger picture still takes precedence.


    Chen Cang took the needle holder, his eyes focusing intently on the anastomosis.


    Without the need for suture, the wound seemed troublesome.


    It was uncertain how Chen Cang was going to manage it.


    Indeed, if Chen Cang produced such an incision for precise anastomosis, mishandling it would undoubtedly be a case of overcomplication, adding unnecessary trouble!


    The concept was excellent, achieving it was stunning, but at the end, it all needed to come back to the repair work.


    How to repair the excised descending aorta¡ªthat was the crux of the matter.


    Chen Cang, without any apparent emotion, picked up the needle holder and chose to start from the highest point, then carefully began to suture.


    The handling of every stitch was exquisite. For this large vessel suture, Chen Cang had to consider many things, and attend to numerous details.


    Meng Xi watched Chen Cang and was somewhat dumbfounded.


    Was this¡­ an interrupted horizontal mattress suture?


    It should be¡­ right?! But why does it seem slightly different?


    Meng Xi watched with some astonishment; she was quite knowledgeable about vascular suturing and noticed something extraordinary about Chen Cang¡¯s technique.


    With this change, Chen Cang perfectly avoided damage to the intima of the blood vessel, ensuring sufficient smoothness of the blood vessel lining¡ªan enormous advantage for suturing large vessels!


    Moreover, the clever technique was enough to compensate for the uneven suture line.


    This seemed quite impressive!


    The degree of injury to the vascular intima and its smoothness would have a crucial impact on the major arteries!


    Chen Cang¡¯s suturing method had just nullified the intricate and potentially scarring negative impacts.


    Simply dealing with the end-to-end was hard!


    Simply suturing such anastomoses was also hard!


    And when both are combined, the complexity increases exponentially.


    But the way Chen Cang was suturing along the blood vessel made the whole procedure seem synergistically efficacious.


    Impressive indeed!


    If this were given to someone else, really, it¡¯s hard to know how they would cope.


    At that moment, Meng Xi quickly stopped taking things lightly and began to watch seriously.


    Because the grant she was currently applying for was in the field of vascular repair, Meng Xi held some authority on this matter.


    She watched intently as Chen Cang placed each stitch¡­


    Time ticked by, second by second.


    Chen Cang kept changing needles with every stitch.


    Finally, the suture was complete!


    He said to Meng Xi, ¡°Pull for de-airing.¡±


    Meng Xi blinked, then hurriedly opened the sutured thoracic aorta.


    At that moment, a faint trace of the suture line appeared, dense and perfectly placed.


    After vascular suturing, de-airing is necessary.


    Otherwise, air in the blood vessels can be fatal!


    Medical students used to execute test rabbits in college by directly injecting air into the rabbit¡¯s marginal ear vein with a syringe. It didn¡¯t take long before the rabbit was gone.


    Humans¡­ are more or less the same.


    So far, the surgery was essentially a success, and the real craftsman behind this operation was Chen Cang!


    At this point, Chen Cang had already stepped back. Director Meng¡¯s eyelids twitched; this youngster, does he want me to wrap this up?


    After all, the temporary vascular bridge had not yet been removed¡­


    Sure enough, Chen Cang sighed wearily, ¡°So tired!¡±


    Meng Xi ground her teeth, seething so much her clothes quivered!


    And¡­ everyone looked at Chen Cang¡¯s vigorous demeanor with speechlessness¡­


    However, Jing Ran said with sympathy, ¡°Take a break, Dr. Chen. You¡¯ve worked hard!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: Sixth update delivered, can I get a monthly ticket?


    PS: Thanks to ¡°Hell Cat¡± and ¡°Xi Anbei,¡± two old friends who once again rewarded 10000, and to the new friend ¡°Teng Zhen¡± who has become a chief helmsman, thank you all for your support!

 Chapter 472 - Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Welcome Aboard, Pleasure to Work with You!

    Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Welcome Aboard, Pleasure to Work with You!


    Chen Cang looked at Jing Ran with satisfaction, nodded, and thought, Jing the doctor is indeed great!


    Not only is he a good person, but his technical proficiency is up to the mark, and most importantly, he is considerate.


    Chen Cang suddenly felt so envious of Geng Yan!


    Ah, where did Geng Yan get such good fortune, huh?


    First, she found herself, and then she found a Dr. Jing.


    That is the true definition of a winner in life!


    What is ¡®lying flat to win¡¯?


    This is comfortably letting go of the mouse and waiting for victory, right?


    ¡­


    In the end, under Meng Youliao¡¯s watchful gaze, it was still Jing Ran who took the initiative to conclude the matter.


    Chen Cang sighed slightly, nodded imperceptibly, and thought, ah, there¡¯s another virtue: humility!


    Turning to look at Teacher Meng, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    Meng Xi, upon seeing this, immediately flew into a rage!


    This Chen, this little thief, definitely needs to be taught a lesson.


    Just you wait!


    Teacher Meng Youliao¡¯s eyes were fixed intently on Chen Cang, filled with the message: I¡¯m upset, hurry up and comfort me, there¡¯s still a chance, or else you¡¯re finished!


    Chen Cang turned away!


    I could pretend I haven¡¯t seen anything or sneak a peek.


    Until I feel your warm¡­ thigh!


    Chen Cang ignored everything Teacher Meng did, his eyes instead fixated on a nearby nurse counting gauze.


    The nurse became immediately flustered, thinking to herself, darn it, I¡¯ve forgotten how many pieces of gauze there were again, I¡¯ll have to count anew! But¡­ with Dr. Chen watching me, how come I¡¯m starting to lose count?


    And just like that, a difficult surgery was finally completed!


    The only oddity was that it took the three nurses a long time to get the gauze count right, leaving the head nurse who had just come in completely baffled¡ªwas there something bewitched about this operating room?


    They¡¯re usually so sharp, huh?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    By the time they left the operating room, it was nearing two o¡¯clock, close to 1:30 in the morning.


    This is the time when the human body is most likely to feel fatigued and desire sleep, but everyone was still a bit excited. Teacher Meng Youliao, although initially a bit angry, was very good at self-regulation, and she quickly adjusted, recovering to a good condition.


    After all, Teacher Meng knew that getting angry could lead to breast nodules, and it was too much hassle to keep cutting. And if the two sides aren¡¯t balanced, it would affect the spinal physiological curvature, which wouldn¡¯t be good.


    With this in mind, Teacher Meng deliberately did some stretching exercises while washing her hands.


    Although the little green coat was loose, it could hardly withstand Teacher Meng¡¯s antics, and the only remaining space was instantly exploited!


    Meng Xi looked at Jing Ran and Chen Cang teasingly, along with the rest of the young men present, thinking, brace yourselves for the trial of sensuality, boys!


    Thinking this, Teacher Meng stretched, and her curvaceous figure immediately revealed itself!


    But¡­


    Why isn¡¯t it working?


    Jing Ran and his colleagues were excitedly discussing the recent issues concerning thoracic blood vessel repair with Chen Cang, paying close attention.


    With unwavering focus!


    Meticulously!


    Undistracted!


    Teacher Meng was taken aback at this sight.


    Do these people think of anything other than surgery?


    Aren¡¯t they men?


    How can they not recognize a good thing when they see it?


    Watching the three of them talking heatedly as they washed their hands, Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but scornfully spit, ¡°A bunch of ignorant mortals!¡±


    Suddenly, right then, Teacher Meng found herself missing San Bo from the Cardiothoracic department. Ah¡­ at least there was an audience there!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang with an excited expression on his face, he was becoming more and more admiring of Chen Cang!


    Every time, Chen Cang could bring Jing Ran surprises.


    It was too impressive.


    Moreover, not only was the person impressive, but they were also modest and unassuming.


    Despite being so skilled in thoracic surgery, he was still not satisfied and had chosen to study cardiology for his graduate studies.


    His vision was unique; he must have realized that pure thoracic surgery was not complete, and that it needed to be combined with cardiac surgery to truly maximize its advantages.


    Indeed, Dr. Chen¡¯s ideas truly showed brilliance, and today¡¯s surgery was solid proof.


    Thinking this, Jing Ran decided to watch more cardiac surgery videos in his free time, to improve himself.


    After all, the heart and chest are inseparable.


    Inside the changing room, Jing Ran¡¯s locker was right next to Chen Cang¡¯s. Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang with envy, ¡°Dr. Chen, you really do have a good physique!¡±


    Chen Cang, caught off guard by this sudden comment, laughed awkwardly, ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s just that emergency work is physically demanding, not quite like thoracic surgery!¡±


    Although Chen Cang was talking, he quickly dressed, pulling on his pants in a jiffy.


    Jing Ran nodded, ¡°Yes, the emergency department really is a place where one can train. I stayed there for half a year at Fuwai, and that half year might have been when I improved the most.¡±


    As Jing Ran said this, something seemed to occur to him, and he then said to Chen Cang with an embarrassed expression, ¡°Dr. Chen, I have an impertinent request.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Just speak your mind, Dr. Jing.¡±


    Chen Cang had a very good impression of Jing Ran, young and promising, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and very humble.


    Therefore, Chen Cang also wanted to befriend Jing Ran, even if it was just to have a partner to cooperate with during surgery.


    Jing Ran looked seriously at Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, I hope that one day when you build your team, you can¡­ count me in!¡±


    At Jing Ran¡¯s words, Chen Cang was somewhat taken aback.


    Because he had not thought that far, forming his own surgical team seemed like a luxury.


    Jing Ran laughed, ¡°One person¡¯s abilities are limited, and many major surgeries can¡¯t be done by a single individual. I know that your ambitions, Dr. Chen, must be beyond this place, but I hope I can stand with you at the operating table!¡±


    Jing Ran¡¯s words were very sincere, rendering Chen Cang silent for a moment.


    Chen Cang had originally intended to demur, but seeing Jing Ran¡¯s determined eyes, he couldn¡¯t help but nod, ¡°Sure!¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang agree, Jing Ran was overjoyed, smiling, ¡°Thank you, Dr. Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang paused slightly.


    In that moment, he seemed touched by Jing Ran¡¯s words, and couldn¡¯t help but extend his hand, ¡°Welcome to the team!¡±


    Jing Ran was visibly moved, his face lit up with joy as he looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Pleasure to collaborate!¡±


    And so, the initial Chen Cang and Jing Ran duo was formed, but a surgical team was far from just the two of them.


    Yet Jing Ran was confident that with him and Chen Cang, most of the major cardiothoracic surgeries in Dongyang Province were well within their grasp!


    Jing Ran had his confidence!


    But he had even more faith in Chen Cang.


    The young doctor following Jing Ran, a student who had just started at the hospital this year, saw this scene and instantly felt his heart swell with excitement and passion.


    Perhaps, this was the mutual recognition between doctors!


    ¡°Welcome to the team!¡±


    ¡°Pleasure to collaborate!¡±


    These two phrases remained in his heart, unable to settle for a long time.


    Perhaps one day, he too could do this!


    Have his own team, his own companions, his own stage, and his own story.


    Life isn¡¯t easy.


    We should live our lives like an epic.


    And in old age,


    Recollect our chapters in a recliner.

 Chapter 474 - Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Dont Litter

    Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Don¡¯t Litter


    Zhu Xuanwen did not expect the young nurse to dare to talk back to him, and, feeling as if he had suffered a great injustice, his face turned colors in an instant. He raised his index finger, pointing at Nurse Lin: ¡°Rules? You¡¯re talking to me about rules?¡±


    Zhu Xuanwen then said, ¡°Do you have any idea how valuable my time is!¡±


    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m like you, standing here doing meaningless work that anyone can do?¡±


    ¡°Hundreds of people are waiting for me to have lunch, even the hospital director has to be polite to me, and you talk to me about rules?¡±


    Nurse Lin¡¯s face changed!


    How is it that the work I do is meaningless? What do you mean anyone can do it?


    Are you looking down on people and personally attacking them?


    Just because you have money, you think you¡¯re so great?


    If hundreds of people are waiting for you to eat, go find your staff then!


    Nurse Lin¡¯s face turned a bit red from the man¡¯s words!


    Having come from a village, Nurse Lin was really getting angry; the man¡¯s words were a blow to her self-esteem.


    Already somewhat insecure, these words made Nurse Lin¡¯s nose tingle with anger.


    The nurse beside Nurse Lin pulled at the corner of Lin¡¯s uniform under the table, signaling her to avoid further argument.


    Nurse Lin nodded her head and kept silent.


    Arguing with such a man was meaningless!


    But unexpectedly, the man became even more irate.


    Chen Cang saw this and quickly stepped forward: ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The nurse beside Nurse Lin saw Chen Cang: ¡°Dr. Chen, he insists on jumping the queue.¡±


    Upon hearing the nurse¡¯s words, the man¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°How am I jumping the queue? Isn¡¯t emergency service for urgent situations? I think my case is the most urgent right now. How is that jumping the queue?¡±


    Nurse Lin sneered in disbelief, saying, ¡°There are many more serious than yours; we prioritize based on the severity.¡±


    Indeed, the Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s emergency department has three types of triage cards: black, red, and green.


    Generally, black is for life-threatening situations and is given priority for resuscitation.


    Red is for more serious conditions that need urgent treatment.


    Green is for less urgent cases that can wait a bit.


    And the man was holding a green number 3.


    He had just heard red number 4 being called and suddenly got spirited, insisting on having a debate with Nurse Lin.


    Zhu Xuanwen, on hearing what Nurse Lin said: ¡°If other patients have no complaints, why do you care so much? I will leave as soon as I¡¯m done with my business; I need to see an important client right away!¡±


    ¡°If this delay causes me to miss out, can you afford the loss?¡±


    ¡°You couldn¡¯t compensate with your whole life¡¯s salary, got it?¡±


    The man¡¯s claims were becoming more and more ridiculous.


    Chen Cang wasn¡¯t personally angered initially, but upon hearing the man berating Nurse Lin, he too became annoyed.


    You¡¯re flaunting your sense of superiority here in the hospital?


    Why don¡¯t you go and rant in front of a police station?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Nurse Lin, call the next one.¡±


    Nurse Lin nodded: ¡°Red number five.¡±


    Seeing this, Zhu Xuanwen felt his face was being slapped, and he became instantly enraged, glaring at Chen Cang: ¡°Fine, fine, fine!¡±


    ¡°Okay! Okay!¡±


    ¡°You really are so childish. I get to be served by managers at banks without queuing. I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re wasting my time like this, see how I will deal with you!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll deal with you today instead of seeing my client; I¡¯m going to see your leader!¡±


    Chen Cang was somewhat baffled by the man¡¯s words!


    Are you fucking stupid?


    You¡¯re comparing a hospital to a bank?


    Why don¡¯t you go and compare it with a funeral home?


    Go and see if you need to queue anywhere else, or if there¡¯s really vip treatment where a manager personally cremates your body?


    Chen Cang looked at the man indifferently: ¡°Please refrain from yelling in the emergency hall. If you continue like this, I will have security escort you out!¡±


    Looking at Chen Cang, the man glared back viciously!


    ¡°Oh? Kick me out? Is this hospital your home? Do you make the rules here?¡±


    Chen Cang turned to the security and said, ¡°If he makes a scene again, kick him out.¡±


    The security, already displeased with this show-off, stood up and approached.


    The man¡¯s face changed, and he sat down, silent.


    At that moment, in the emergency hall, several people in line watched the man as if watching a play.


    There really is every type of person!


    Because you¡¯re a boss, you should be seen first?


    This is an emergency room!


    It¡¯s not your house!


    Chen Cang sneered and proceeded to attend to a patient.


    The patient also commented with a laugh: ¡°Visiting the hospital really is an eye-opening experience, you come across all sorts!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, indeed it was so.


    Bullying with power was not uncommon in the hospital; some more shrewd ones get things done without making a fuss, whereas the blustering ones love to make a scene.


    Whether they actually have money, I don¡¯t know.


    But they sure talk big!


    In minutes, they could blow our entire month¡¯s salary¡­


    The wealthier people are, the more low-key they tend to be.


    As for those who make a big show of things, regardless of whether they have money or not, they really lack class.


    After Chen Cang had dealt with the patient, he went out and saw, to his surprise, that the man was still scolding Xiao Lin.


    At that moment, Chen Cang lost his temper too!


    ¡°You just wait, if you dare, don¡¯t leave the hospital!¡±


    ¡°You think you¡¯re so capable, rules? Rules are made by people!¡±


    ¡­


    Clearly, the man was now embarrassed and enraged.


    Seeing Xiao Lin on the verge of tears, Chen Cang immediately interrupted the man, ¡°If you have doubts about our hospital regulations, you can file a complaint. Do you need the complaint hotline number?¡±


    When the man saw Chen Cang, he sneered, ¡°Heh.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned. I¡¯ll be damned!


    It was indeed quite embarrassing.


    ¡°You think you¡¯re fit to talk to me?¡± the man sneered. ¡°You all wait, I¡¯m going straight to your dean.¡±


    He turned and pointed at Xiao Lin, ¡°A measly nurse, a petty doctor, and security guards¡­ Hah! It¡¯s truly¡­ laughable!¡±


    Chen Cang picked up his phone, ¡°If you keep causing a scene here, I¡¯m going to call the police!¡±


    The man was taken aback, ¡°Call the police? Go on! I want to see if they¡¯ll even arrest me; I¡¯m a major taxpayer in Anyang City!¡±


    At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded, ¡°Who¡¯s looking for me?¡±


    Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qin Xiaoyuan walk in with a serious expression. He had heard everything from the doorway.


    ¡°What do you want from me?¡± Qin Xiaoyuan asked the man with an unfriendly scowl.


    Zhu Xuanwen was immediately taken aback, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan, ¡°I¡¯m the dean here.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuanwen¡¯s expression eased and he shifted his eyes before speaking quickly, ¡°Dean, may I have a word with you?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was uncompromising, ¡°Speak up, we¡¯re just a bunch of expendable people doing meaningless work, right? Don¡¯t waste your time, say what you need to say and leave!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s words made everyone in the emergency hall burst into cheers!


    Zhu Xuanwen¡¯s face changed upon hearing Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s words, ¡°I¡­ I was just joking, I was too anxious!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan responded, ¡°You need to apologize to our medical staff, or else our hospital will not welcome you!¡±


    Zhu Xuanwen¡¯s face changed as he looked at Qin Xiaoyuan impolitely and pointed, ¡°Fine! Hah, just wait and see!¡±


    After speaking, he turned and left!


    Qin Xiaoyuan then said indifferently, ¡°You forgot your things?¡±


    The man stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked back: ???


    Qin Xiaoyuan chuckled, ¡°If you don¡¯t want your own face, please don¡¯t leave it on the ground as trash, it¡¯s distasteful. Pick it up quickly; it pollutes our hospital¡¯s environment!¡±


    With that remark, applause from all the patients rang out!


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°Pick up your shameless face!¡±


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    ¡°Trash!¡±


    ¡°Stop showing off!¡±


    ¡°The dean is awesome!¡±


    ¡°The dean is mighty!¡±


    ¡­


    Watching the crowd¡¯s uproar, Qin Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, went to the nurses¡¯ station, and looked at Xiao Lin, unable to resist saying, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard!¡±


    Xiao Lin, seeing the dean stand up for him like this, felt a surge of emotion and tears streamed down his face.


    As employees, having a dean like this made everything worthwhile!


    The people around began to clap for Qin Xiaoyuan.


    Qin Xiaoyuan then turned to the nurse and said, ¡°What you do is the most meaningful work. No one can replace you! As long as you¡¯re in the hospital and you follow the hospital regulations, the hospital will back you up!¡±


    At this point, Qin Xiaoyuan addressed the crowd, ¡°I promise you, no matter what the circumstances, the hospital will always protect you!¡±


    ¡°Because what you¡¯re doing is the most valuable, most meaningful, and indeed the greatest work.¡±


    His speech warmed the hearts of the nurses, bringing tears to their eyes as they were moved.


    The surrounding patients also clapped, ¡°That¡¯s right! You are meaningful!¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±

 Chapter 475 - Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Director Chen is so young!

    Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Director Chen is so young!


    Qin Xiaoyuan also felt a fire burning inside.


    Perhaps at his position, with his identity, he shouldn¡¯t say such things.


    After all, who doesn¡¯t want to save face?


    But at that moment, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but feel indignant when he heard the man speak like that.


    What do you mean our work is dispensable, what do you mean it¡¯s meaningless?


    You earn money and that¡¯s what you call meaningful, and our work doesn¡¯t count?


    What kind of nonsense is that!


    So today, no matter what, Qin Xiaoyuan had to speak up, not caring if you¡¯re the boss, no matter who you are; if I, Qin Xiaoyuan, see it, I must speak out!


    You can¡¯t deny our value!


    These young ladies have been working overtime until now since last night, do they need your thanks?


    So Qin Xiaoyuan was quite impolite when he spoke, not leaving any face for the other.


    It¡¯s true, Qin Xiaoyuan is the dean and should oversee the big picture.


    But Qin Xiaoyuan is also a medical worker; he has his own inner convictions.


    After speaking, Qin Xiaoyuan looked at the crowd and said calmly, ¡°Work hard, if there are any issues, contact the hospital.¡±


    A group of young nurses quickly nodded, extremely grateful!


    How many deans could do what Qin Xiaoyuan did?


    Which one isn¡¯t navigating the system to maintain balance, with camps established firmly but troops flowing like water, no one willing to offend a rich tycoon or so-called ¡°high society¡± individual because of these young nurses.


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s actions and words just now also left a deep impression on the patients around him.


    They couldn¡¯t help but praise him!


    And a group of youngsters even took videos with their phones.


    However, the incident came to an end for the time being.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The emergency department once again plunged into intense work.


    After the morning shift, Li Baoshan began to assign work and make adjustments for the new staff.


    The newly arrived Ph.D. candidate, Jiang Tao, naturally followed Director An Yanjun, mainly responsible for the treatment in hand surgery.


    Wang Xin, a new postgraduate in thoracic surgery, collaborated with Wang Kai¡¯an to carry out operations in the thoracic field.


    General surgery was led by Chen Bingsheng with Luo Zhou responsible for it.


    Another person was allocated to Shi Na.


    With this, the entire emergency department began to take shape, with hand surgery, thoracic surgery, hepato-biliary surgery, and general surgery all being established.


    Li Baoshan didn¡¯t assign a specific area to Chen Cang because he was still in the learning phase, and assigning work would undoubtedly make him very busy. Additionally, it was due to Chen Cang¡¯s uniqueness.


    Chen Cang¡¯s field of expertise was particularly broad, indispensable whether it was thoracic, hepato-biliary, or hand surgery.


    Over this period, Li Baoshan had come to realize how extraordinary Chen Cang was, and rather than fix him to one position, it was better to send him wherever needed, becoming the versatile Chen in the department.


    In fact, this seemingly unimportant position was actually the most crucial one.


    It was similar to Li Baoshan¡¯s role.


    As the director of the emergency department, Li Baoshan¡¯s role was to coordinate with the department and the hospital to carry out urgent surgical work.


    Although Chen Cang was just a resident, Li Baoshan had already placed him in such a significant position.


    Most importantly, Li Baoshan had noticed that lately, his own burden had lightened considerably; it seemed¡­ everyone was no longer calling for him when something came up, they were beginning to call for Chen Cang instead!


    This made Li Baoshan, who had long suffered from work pressure, quite relaxed as well.


    Moreover, Chen Cang took on the role of a department head every day, such as making rounds!


    Around nine o¡¯clock, Chen Bingsheng picked up a medical case, skillfully tossed it to Chen Cang, and said, ¡°Xiao Chen, time for rounds.¡±


    Upon seeing this, Shi Na casually fixed her hair and quickly said, ¡°Wait a moment, Old Chen, I¡¯ll go first, I have the night shift after the rounds, and there¡¯s a parent-teacher meeting for my child today!¡±


    An Yanjun smiled and said to Jiang Tao, ¡°Looks like today we¡¯ll be the last ones to make rounds again!¡±


    Jiang Tao was somewhat astonished, ¡°Director An¡­ why are we always calling for Doctor Chen for rounds?¡±


    An Yanjun was startled and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Because many of the patients were operated on by Xiao Chen, and he¡¯s the most familiar with their condition. If not him, who else should we call?¡±


    This statement, for the veterans in emergency, was quite ordinary, but for the newcomers, it was like a thunderclap!


    After all, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t much older than they were, and judging by his hair, he probably didn¡¯t even have as high a professional title as they did.


    But¡­ he was doing the same work as a director!


    Taking charge of the rounds was a privilege reserved for the director.


    Could it be¡­ this Doctor Chen was Director Chen?


    As everyone thought about this, they couldn¡¯t help but marvel. Could this be another special talent that had been recruited?


    And for Luo Zhou, the shock was even more intense, because he knew Chen Cang well and had a comprehensive understanding of him. At first, he thought Chen Cang was just an ordinary junior doctor in emergency.


    But the scene of the rounds at this moment somewhat shook his worldview!


    After all, what¡¯s the point of dragging a resident to make rounds?


    The other newcomers were even more bewildered. This¡­ Doctor Chen, no, should they call him Director Chen?


    Upon thinking this, He Lu, Shi Na¡¯s junior doctor, widened her eyes and asked, ¡°Teacher, this¡­ Director Chen is so young!¡±


    Shi Na was baffled by He Lu¡¯s remark!


    ¡°Director Chen? Young? Well, I suppose so!¡±


    Shi Na couldn¡¯t help raising her head and laughing, ¡°Old Chen, my student here says you¡¯re young and even calls you Director Chen!¡±


    Chen Bingsheng heard the young girl praising him and immediately stood up straight, chuckling, ¡°Really? Maybe it¡¯s because I look young. And I do have the demeanor of a director!¡±


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.


    At that moment, He Lu whispered, ¡°It¡¯s Director Chen, not Teacher Chen.¡±


    Shi Na was stunned for a moment, ¡°Director Chen? Old Chen hasn¡¯t been promoted to director yet, right?¡±


    It suddenly dawned on Shi Na, ¡°Xiao He, the one you¡¯re talking about¡­ couldn¡¯t be Chen Cang, could it?¡±


    He Lu nodded matter-of-factly, ¡°Yes, exactly, Chen Cang. He¡¯s so young and already a director. Is he a graduate of a prestigious university?¡±


    After hearing this, Shi Na burst into roaring laughter.


    On the side, An Yanjun, Chen Bingsheng, and the others also heard what He Lu said and were utterly confused.


    ¡°Since when did Xiao Chen become a director!¡± Shi Na said with a laugh.


    He Lu was dumbfounded, ¡°But¡­ all the teachers are calling for Doctor Chen to make rounds¡­ Isn¡¯t that something only a director does?¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Wang Qian was laughing so hard that he almost started crying.


    Shi Na was also amused by her student¡¯s comment and explained, ¡°In our department, whoever performs surgery checks on the patient. Xiao Chen has done quite a few operations, and we each have patients under his care, so everyone calls for Xiao Chen to make the rounds!¡±


    After hearing the explanation, He Lu finally saw the light.


    Chen Cang, hearing this, couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Director Chen? Not bad, not bad, haha, I became a director before you, boss. I¡¯m ahead of you!¡±

 Chapter 476 - Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Youre still young, learn well from Teacher Chen!

    Chapter 476: Chapter 476: You¡¯re still young, learn well from Teacher Chen!


    So, starting from today, Chen Cang earned an additional nickname in the emergency department: ¡°Director Chen!¡±


    Everyone felt that the title of department head wasn¡¯t flashy enough, ¡°Director Chen¡± was far less imposing than ¡°Director Chen.¡±


    Chen Cang looked flustered and uneasy, a bit nervous, glanced at Qin Yue, took a deep breath, and muttered softly, ¡°Wife, I really don¡¯t want to usurp the position.¡±


    But, jokes aside.


    The morning rounds made everyone realize that this ¡°Director Chen¡± wasn¡¯t just a nickname earned in jest; he truly had genuine skills and knowledge.


    Especially in terms of grasping the surgical needs of patients, he was exceedingly precise.


    Chen Cang¡¯s demeanor during rounds was no different from that of a director.


    Shi Na, accompanied by He Lu who was holding the medical case, stood alongside Chen Cang.


    After waiting for Shi Na to report the patient¡¯s condition, Chen Cang would conduct a brief examination before adjusting the medical orders based on the patient¡¯s situation.


    He Lu looked on with some surprise: this was clearly the job of a department head.


    He Lu also noticed that after they arrived in the ward, everyone treated Chen Cang with great respect, affectionately calling him ¡°Dr. Chen.¡±


    Having only joined the emergency department of Provincial Hospital No. 2 a short while ago, everyone suddenly realized that this ¡°Director Chen¡± was not one with an unwarranted reputation but truly skilled.


    Although no one had seen Chen Cang operate, it was understood from patients that Dr. Chen might really be quite capable.


    This made everyone very curious and eager to see Chen Cang¡¯s surgery at some point!


    Thus, the mystery of ¡°Director Chen¡± became something many new doctors were looking forward to.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    However, changing his name didn¡¯t work at all with Old Chen!


    Having just completed rounds with Shi Na, Old Chen passed over a few medical records with a grin, saying, ¡°Director Chen, hold them tight. If they fall on the floor, you¡¯ll have to reprint the lab reports.¡±


    Chen Cang gritted his teeth, boiling with rage but not daring to speak out!


    However, Luo Zhou could clearly see the relationship between Chen Cang and Old Chen and felt a bit envious.


    He smiled and said, ¡°Here, give them to me.¡±


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°No worries, I¡¯m used to it. Look at these biceps, developed from carrying case files!¡±


    His comment provoked another round of laughter in the office.


    With Big Chen and Little Chen present, the office seemed never to lack for joyful laughter and chatting.


    Old Chen had quite a few patients to see, including Wang Yong¡¯s, so the rounds would take a while.


    Coincidentally, a patient with a hand injury arrived that morning, so An Yanjun decided to go ahead with the surgery with the new doctor Jiang Tao, prior to continuing with the rounds.


    And so, the two of them headed to the operating room together.


    All the way there, Jiang Tao kept asking about Chen Cang, and An Yanjun, not much of a talker, would occasionally offer a half-answer.


    Young people lack patience, and when they see someone impressive, they can¡¯t help but feel a bit of pride and enter into comparisons¡ªit¡¯s just normal. Who doesn¡¯t harbor a competitive spirit?


    Moreover, it was Jiang Tao, freshly graduated with a PhD and brimming with youthful enthusiasm, ready to make his mark!


    An Yanjun didn¡¯t think this was a bad thing. Young people should have the vigor of their age.


    Besides, sometimes reasonable comparison and competition can be conducive to progress.


    But¡­


    Watching the young Dr. Jiang Tao, An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help wanting to offer a word of advice. You can compare yourself with others, or even me, but¡­ just don¡¯t compare with Chen Cang; choose an appropriate target.


    After all¡­ comparing with Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t be competition, it would be masochism!


    Finding a rival isn¡¯t a bad thing.


    But if you choose an opponent you¡¯ll never beat, that¡¯s not particularly beneficial.


    Still, looking at the ambitious Jiang Tao, An Yanjun sighed without saying much more.


    After all, young people are such that they might not believe what they¡¯re told.


    Thinking this over, An Yanjun stopped short¡ªwithout facing setbacks, how can one learn humility?


    Maybe it¡¯s not such a bad thing?


    Just look at my age; when it comes down to it, I¡¯d have to call Director Chen ¡°teacher!¡±


    If you don¡¯t believe it¡­ go have a look at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital. My junior disciple is over a decade older than me, yet he¡¯s also the vice-chair of Dongyang Province¡¯s Hand Surgery!


    So!


    Humility is a good thing.


    With humility, one earns their keep!


    Director An actually felt a bit uneasy inside, but as soon as he thought about his junior colleague in the Department of Hand Surgery at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, Tan Zhonglin, he suddenly felt much better!


    Even a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    Meanwhile, far away in the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital¡¯s Department of Hand Surgery, as Tan Zhonglin was preparing for surgery, he felt a chill down his spine, feeling as though someone was thinking about him¡­


    Who could it be?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Jiang Tao, seeing Director An hesitant to speak, was slightly taken aback. Could there be some unspeakable reason?


    Or could it be that Chen Cang actually has some powerful backing?


    With this in mind, Jiang Tao decided to take advantage of today¡¯s opportunity to show off his abilities.


    The two went to the operating room together.


    It was the peak time for surgeries. The anesthesiologist was Liu Jian¡¯s junior. After arriving, he had been learning from Liu Jian and was now starting to work independently on anesthesia.


    But these were all simple anesthesias, such as the brachial plexus nerve block required for the current hand surgery.


    Upon seeing An Yanjun, the young anesthesiologist Wu Bo smiled and said, ¡°Director An, isn¡¯t Doctor Chen coming?¡±


    An Yanjun smiled back, ¡°Mhm, Xiao Chen has been quite busy lately.¡±


    After some preparation, they were ready to start the surgery. An Yanjun briefly examined the patient and found the condition wasn¡¯t severe. He glanced at Jiang Tao, ¡°Have you done surgery before?¡±


    Upon hearing Director An¡¯s question, Jiang Tao¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Frequently. Tendon suturing is somewhat my strong suit.¡±


    After hearing that, An Yanjun nodded, ¡°You go first. I¡¯ll watch how you do.¡±


    At that moment, An Yanjun was quite confident. Even if Jiang Tao encountered a problem, he believed his own skills were enough to handle it.


    Seeing the chance to showcase his skills, Jiang Tao was a little excited and began to operate.


    An Yanjun just watched from the side, silent.


    Jiang Tao¡¯s foundations were very solid; he had specialized entirely in hand surgery during his master¡¯s and PhD, with six years of steady clinical experience. The entire surgery went very well.


    With measured calm and easy grace!


    An Yanjun would give him 80 points!


    His gaze towards Jiang Tao softened a great deal.


    He was a very promising young man.


    The surgery didn¡¯t take long to complete, and soon it was over.


    Jiang Tao was quite satisfied with his own performance.


    And the anesthesiologist Wu Bo also smiled and praised, ¡°Well done.¡±


    Jiang Tao smiled. It was a matter of pride to be recognized by the anesthesiologist.


    When the patient heard the surgery went well, they too were elated. After all, which patient wouldn¡¯t want their surgeon to be a bit more skilled?


    Jiang Tao couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, ¡°You flatter me, there¡¯s still a lot to learn.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wu Bo nodded, ¡°Right, learn diligently from Director An. If you get a chance to receive guidance from Doctor Chen, you¡¯ll make great progress! You¡¯re still young.¡±


    Jiang Tao was suddenly stunned¡­


    Why did that sound so odd?


    Just what was odd about it?


    Something felt off about the tone!


    Think it over!


    Think it over again¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Hehe, thank you to the ¡°Zong¡± user from the QQ reading client for the 30,000 reward, much appreciated!


    Thank you to Alliance Hierarch Brother from the Forbidden Zone for the 10,000 reward to our student, Qin Xiaotian. Grateful!

 Chapter 477 - Chapter 477: Chapter 477: It Looks Small!

    Chapter 477: Chapter 477: It Looks Small!


    On the way back from the operating room, Jiang Tao felt increasingly uneasy!


    He pondered over the phrase that the anesthetist Wu Bo had mentioned.


    ¡°Learn well from Director An¡± was certainly correct, after all, Director An was his superior physician and also the director, with rich clinical experience, he was undoubtedly worth learning from!


    But¡­ what did he mean by ¡°it would be great to receive guidance from Doctor Chen someday¡±?


    It was clearly suggesting that being guided by Chen Cang was extraordinary, even more impressive than Director An!


    What kind of logic was that?


    And why didn¡¯t Director An seem angry at all?


    Thinking of this, Jiang Tao became more and more convinced that there was a huge secret hidden in Chen Cang!


    The more he thought about it, the more excited he became!


    Therefore, Detective Jiang made up his mind to clear this matter up.


    Back in the office, Jiang Tao found only Qin Yue organizing documents in the doctors¡¯ office.


    Jiang Tao walked over with a smile, ¡°Hello, Doctor Qin.¡±


    Qin Yue looked up and smiled slightly, ¡°Hello, Doctor Jiang.¡±


    Well, they exchanged polite greetings.


    Jiang Tao directly took a chair and sat down beside her, saying with interest, ¡°Doctor Qin, I heard you are preparing for a PhD? Where are you planning to go?¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s intention to pursue a PhD was not big news; it was often discussed in the office, and since Qin Yue had already started preparing, shifting her focus toward research, everyone was aware.


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Yes, I have that idea, I might go to the capital, but it would probably be a professional doctorate, I won¡¯t pursue a full-time program.¡±


    When Jiang Tao heard this, he quickly replied, ¡°The capital? That¡¯s great! But¡­ I think it¡¯s better to go for a full-time study, since part-time PhD degrees aren¡¯t highly valued, and many institutions don¡¯t recognize them.¡±


    Jiang Tao¡¯s point made sense.


    Qin Yue nodded and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m already quite old, and pursuing a full-time PhD now would mean a lot of research pressure.¡±


    Jiang Tao hurriedly said with a laugh, ¡°You must be quite young, right?¡±


    Jiang Tao thought his ostensibly witty and humorous comment would earn him some brownie points, right?


    But he had no idea that Qin Yue¡¯s face turned dark and her blood surged with anger.


    What young?


    You¡¯re the one who¡¯s young!


    You¡¯re little in every aspect!


    The word ¡°little¡± had been blacklisted by Qin Yue from her dictionary; even ¡°Director Chen¡± dared not say it, and yet he said it!


    At that moment, Wang Qian came in and immediately changed his expression, seeing the scene unfold. This guy, flirting with the flower of our department right after arriving? Where does he put Cang Er?


    No way!


    Thinking of this, Wang Qian felt he should lend a brother a hand.


    Wang Qian suddenly asked, ¡°Doctor Jiang, you¡¯re young and talented, with high academic qualifications, do you have a partner?¡±


    Jiang Tao laughed embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯ve been focusing on my studies, never had time to get involved with someone. Plus, since I plan to return to Anyang, it may not be stable to start a relationship now, so I thought I¡¯d wait until things settle down!¡±


    Wang Qian listened and became even more alert, this sly fellow¡­ harbored ulterior motives, I need to quickly warn Cang Er. Otherwise, not only might our department¡¯s flower be stolen, but even Director Qin could be wooed. That would mean losing both a wife and a boss¡ªit would be such a great loss!


    ¡­


    At this moment, An Yanjun also returned to the office and happened to see this scene, he couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Jiang, come with me to make rounds, Chen is done.¡±


    Jiang Tao nodded. Compared to Qin Yue, he was now more curious about Chen Cang, and with that thought, he quickly stood up and followed him out.


    Chen Cang had a good memory and vivid recollections of many patients. Once they arrived at the ward,


    Chen Cang interacted with the patients in a friendly and polite manner, calling each by name, which instantly made the patients feel a sense of kinship.


    After all, having good communication with patients helped with the work, something Old Chen had taught Chen Cang.


    ¡°Aiya, Doctor Chen, I feel my recovery is very good, and the feeling when I move is especially noticeable¡­ really, thank you so much, Doctor Chen!¡± said the patient with a smile.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°You¡¯re now 16 hours post-surgery, we¡¯ll get your discharge going in a bit. Start moving around this evening, and when you¡¯re leaving, pick up two rehabilitation guides at the nurse¡¯s station¡ªyou can practice at home.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the patient asked, ¡°Don¡¯t I need to go to a rehabilitation center?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I understand your situation. Just go home and practice some exercises and you will recover!¡±


    The patient immediately smiled.


    After examining several patients continuously, all of them were recovering very well. Chen Cang advised some to go to the rehabilitation center, while others he simply told to go home and practice on their own.


    This made Jiang Tao quite curious.


    Is it really that casual?


    Can they really just go home and practice?


    And¡­ what about a rehabilitation guideline?


    At this moment, Jiang Tao¡¯s mind was full of curiosity.


    Also, do we start rehabilitation 24 hours in?


    Why didn¡¯t Chen Cang use the Tang method to suture the flexor tendon?


    You should know that the Tang method of suturing flexor tendons has such great advantages, significantly reducing adhesions, and allowing for rehabilitation to begin as early as 12 hours!


    Jiang Tao started to have doubts about Chen Cang¡¯s tendon suturing.


    This feeling was like coming back from the capital to an ordinary provincial city; there was a subtle sense of superiority.


    After leaving the office, Jiang Tao went to the nurse¡¯s station to grab a few copies of the tendon rehabilitation guide and stuffed them into his pocket. Back in the office, he asked, ¡°Director, where did this tendon rehabilitation guideline come from?¡±


    An Yanjun made a noise of acknowledgment, ¡°This is all thanks to Doctor Chen¡¯s efforts. He personally researched and developed this rehabilitation training technique. It¡¯s very effective. For some common tendon injuries, patients can completely practice on their own and save the money they would otherwise spend on rehabilitation.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao suddenly felt it was too careless!


    He now found the entire emergency department to be odd!


    It was bad enough having a young man lead ward rounds, but even the rehabilitation guideline was left for a young man to create.


    This was beyond belief!


    Back in the office, Jiang Tao suddenly asked An Yanjun, ¡°Director An, do we all start rehabilitation after 24 hours? Why don¡¯t we use the Tang method for suturing flexor tendons? You can start rehab after just 12 hours¡­¡±


    An Yanjun rubbed his forehead, ¡°The Tang method¡­ Little Chen mentioned that the Tang method currently has some shortcomings, it needs constant improvement, and besides, we rarely use the Tang method. You¡¯ll understand in time.¡±


    Jiang Tao was completely baffled!


    Madness!


    Absolutely madness!


    The whole emergency department was crazy!


    Chen Cang actually dared to say that the Tang method had shortcomings that required constant improvement. Was this something to be said in a common third-grade hospital in the provincial emergency department?


    Who does he think he is!


    Jiang Tao smiled awkwardly.


    He didn¡¯t voice it, but his heart was in turmoil.


    Suddenly, he began to doubt whether coming here was a right or wrong decision.


    What kind of people are these?


    Except¡­ Doctor Qin Yue was a bit better¡­


    But then again, Doctor Qin Yue was about to pursue a Ph.D. now, obviously realizing that this place was full of eccentrics, and planning to switch departments later on.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Tao couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Man fears entering the wrong profession.


    At that moment, Shi Na suddenly asked, ¡°Xiao Qin, when will you go to the general surgery department?¡±


    Qin Yue shook her head, ¡°After the new year, I guess. The emergency department is quite busy during the New Year period. I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t have enough staff, so I¡¯ll wait until after the Lunar New Year to move to the general surgery department.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao immediately sighed with emotion, what a great girl!


    If it were someone else, they would have left already. Staying over the New Year to work overtime in the emergency department, where else can you find such a good girl, such a good doctor?


    Beautiful and kindhearted!


    Jiang Tao couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, knowing that the emergency department wouldn¡¯t be able to keep such a good doctor!

 Chapter 478 - Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Have you offended someone recently?

    Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Have you offended someone recently?


    After work, Jiang Tao casually snapped a photo of the tendon rehabilitation guide from the emergency department and shared it in his mentor¡¯s group chat with the message, ¡°A guide made by our hospital¡¯s own doctors.¡±


    However, everyone seemed to be busy and no one responded, so Jiang Tao had to let it go.


    Time passed, day by day, and everyone gradually became a part of the small community of the Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s emergency department.


    Through their time together, everyone had learned some gossip: Qin Yue¡¯s father was none other than Qin Xiaoyuan, the director of the Second Provincial Hospital!


    This was truly shocking!


    Qin Yue suddenly became the apple of some people¡¯s eyes.


    Jiang Tao, too, became increasingly attentive to Qin Yue, whether he meant to or not.


    Boy meets girl ¨C there¡¯s nothing wrong with that, but each time, Qin Yue was lukewarm towards him, which made Jiang Tao very curious as to why.


    Especially when he told her she looked ¡°young for her age,¡± Qin Yue seemed unhappy every time.


    This left Jiang Tao a bit puzzled!


    But it didn¡¯t matter, he believed that with true sincerity comes success; Qin Yue would eventually be moved by his efforts.


    However, gradually, he noticed that Chen Cang and Qin Yue seemed to be getting very close!


    Every time Qin Yue saw Chen Cang, she looked very happy!


    This gave Jiang Tao a sudden clue!


    Could it be¡­that Chen Cang and Qin Yue were actually boyfriend and girlfriend?


    So, Jiang Tao continued to play the detective and began to probe further!


    And it¡¯s true, there¡¯s nothing too difficult for the one who sets his mind to it. Under Detective Jiang¡¯s investigation and research, he indeed discovered many clues: he often noticed Chen Cang and Qin Yue hanging out together after work, sometimes even engaging in intimate gestures like walking arm in arm!


    At this moment, Jiang Tao suddenly saw the light.


    No wonder!


    Past events could even be explained now.


    For example, why Qin Yue didn¡¯t like him, because she already had someone.


    But this made Jiang Tao somewhat depressed!


    Why would such a kind, beautiful, and adorable girl like Qin Yue fall for Chen Cang?


    Is it just because he is better looking? Taller? Has thicker hair?


    Can¡¯t you pay more attention to substance?


    As a surgeon, we should compete in the operation theater!


    With that thought, Jiang Tao sighed.


    He couldn¡¯t help but reflect: Chen Cang truly was a winner in life; indeed, being handsome comes with its perks.


    After graduation, he snagged a director¡¯s daughter. No wonder the doctors in the department treated him that way; there was a reason after all¡­


    In his sadness, Jiang Tao turned to his brother who studied traditional Chinese medicine to vent his troubles.


    After telling him about Chen Cang¡¯s situation and asking for an analysis of the reasons,


    his brother remained silent for a while before slowly saying:


    ¡°Brother Jiang, actually, a tall stature suggests robust bones, while thick hair indicates an abundance of kidney qi. The Inner Canon states: ¡®The kidney governs the bones and stores the essence, and its glory rests in the hair!''¡±


    At this point, the brother started to advocate:


    ¡°Doctor Chen¡¯s tall and strong stature, robust bones and dense hair show that his vital energy is vigorous and kidney qi is plentiful. And besides, he¡¯s good-looking. Which girl wouldn¡¯t fancy him? After all, he¡¯s both pleasing to the eye and practical!


    Ah¡­ listen to a brother¡¯s advice, nourish your kidneys more. How about this, I¡¯ve recently concocted a new kidney-strengthening and bone-fortifying medicine, give it a try. I guarantee you¡¯ll be full of life and vigor!¡±


    After some hesitation, Jiang Tao didn¡¯t block his friend. Although this person liked to come up with strange recipes and coax him into taking his concoctions, the person was not too bad¡­ right?


    Back in school, he had been his own guinea pig for the medicines, yet after three years of taking them, other than his stomach often acting up, there was no change in his hair!


    But¡­ what his brother said made sense!


    Jiang Tao resigned himself. If he couldn¡¯t win on looks, he¡¯d have to make up for it with skills.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang had been quite relaxed during this time; for sure, what people call you is important.


    Ever since ¡°Teacher Chen¡± was replaced with ¡°Director Chen,¡± his whole demeanor changed, walking as if he were floating on air.


    ¡°Director Chen¡± rolled off the tongue more readily in the Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s emergency department, and Chen Cang enjoyed hearing it more and more, especially when Xiao Qin said it¡ªit felt the most comforting!


    Every time Chen Cang heard Qin Yue call him ¡°Director Chen,¡± he felt a surge of pride.


    Moreover, Qin Xiaotian loved to use the term too, and Chen Cang really enjoyed it, making for a perfect match in their self-deceiving duo.


    However, whenever Qin Xiaoyuan secretly overheard his daughter on the phone, why was it always one ¡°Director Chen¡± after another? What on earth was this ¡°Director Chen¡±?


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan pulled Ji Ruyun over and said, ¡°Wife, did our Xiao Qin break up with Chen Cang? Why is there a ¡®Director Chen¡¯ now?¡±


    Ji Ruyun immediately became alert upon hearing this.


    They broke up so soon?


    She hadn¡¯t even had her wrinkle treatment yet!


    With the health insurance busy with year-end settlements, Ji Ruyun had been saying she¡¯d wait until that busy period was over, but they couldn¡¯t break up so quickly!


    Thus, a new habit emerged for the couple in the evenings; they started to wait by the windowsill for Qin Yue to come home!


    But, after several observations, they saw that it was still Chen Cang dropping Qin Yue off, wasn¡¯t it?


    Then the two of them realized: perhaps this was some kind of term of endearment!


    But really, what¡¯s with the youths these days? Why call him ¡°Director Chen¡±? What did that mean?


    Never mind, never mind.


    Old Qin felt it wasn¡¯t important.


    However, he always found this ¡°Director Chen¡± odd, he couldn¡¯t quite put his finger on why.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day, Qin Xiaoyuan went to work as usual, and Tan Liguo suddenly walked in.


    Lately, the two had been getting along quite well.


    After entering, Tan Liguo looked at Qin Xiaoyuan and asked, ¡°Director Qin, have you offended anyone recently?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback and responded to Tan Liguo, ¡°Secretary Tan, what did you just call me?¡±


    Tan Liguo was also taken aback and said, ¡°Director Qin, Head Director Qin!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan thought, why does this sound so familiar?


    He felt like he had heard it somewhere before but just couldn¡¯t remember.


    That¡¯s how it is when you get older, your memory declines¡­


    With that thought, Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°That¡­ Secretary Tan, could you call me that a few more times?¡±


    Tan Liguo was stunned. What¡¯s with Qin Xiaoyuan¡­ What¡¯s going on?


    Still, he cooperated and repeated it several times, ¡°Director Qin, Director Qin, Director Qin!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan instantly slapped his thigh!


    He was absolutely furious!


    He finally knew why it felt so familiar.


    This brat was getting too big for his britches.


    The nickname ¡°Director Chen¡± was already out there!


    And that little wretch, daring to call out anything at all.


    No wonder it sounded so strange lately, something felt off, and now he finally realized the problem lay right there!


    With these thoughts, Qin Xiaoyuan decided he needed to have a good talk with that boy Chen Cang.


    They weren¡¯t even married yet and he was already thinking of taking over?


    And his treacherous little cotton-padded jacket, so quick to throw its weight around?


    Seeing Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s reaction, Tan Liguo hesitated a bit. Maybe Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t like being called the director, as it seemed too impersonal?


    With this thought, Tan Liguo felt it made sense, ¡°Director Qin¡± indeed sounded too distant, so he simply sighed and said, ¡°Old Qin, have you gotten into some kind of trouble recently?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan was stunned!


    Frowning at Tan Liguo, ¡°Secretary Tan, what do you mean by that?¡±


    Tan Liguo felt he should cooperate with Qin Xiaoyuan, there was no need for a cold war, they should maintain a good relationship, so he waved his hand and said, ¡°Just call me Old Tan.¡±


    ¡°Here¡¯s the thing, I attended a meeting this morning and happened to run into a deputy director from the Health Commission. He told me to advise you to keep a low profile these days, so I rushed back to ask you if anything happened.¡±

 Chapter 479 - Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Opportunity!

    Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Opportunity!


    When Qin Xiaoyuan heard this sentence, he immediately furrowed his brows. Who had he recently offended?


    He considered himself quite fair in his dealings with the world, and he hadn¡¯t done anything to provoke anyone!


    Suddenly, Qin Xiaoyuan vividly remembered an incident from a couple of days ago¡­ that person he had reprimanded that morning.


    Could it be him?


    Did he go and file a complaint?


    With that thought, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    It¡¯s true what they say, it¡¯s not the gentlemen you fear, but the villains.


    Dealing with someone who stabs you in the back like this is really quite helpless.


    With this in mind, Qin Xiaoyuan recounted that day¡¯s incident to Tan Liguo.


    After hearing it, Tan Liguo sighed, said nothing, and patted Qin Xiaoyuan on the shoulder before leaving.


    Since the message had been delivered, Tan Liguo believed that Qin Xiaoyuan would have an idea of what to do.


    Advise him? That was completely unnecessary.


    They were both in their fifties, having fought their way through the ranks in their careers, each with his own sense of judgment.


    Moreover, some things simply couldn¡¯t be advised against.


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked thoughtfully out the window and shook his head. Did he regret? Definitely not!


    If he could go back to that day, Qin Xiaoyuan would do the same thing.


    After all, at his age, how much longer could he work? He was about to retire, what else could happen?


    Keep a low profile?


    Haha!


    But he picked up the phone and rang the emergency registration desk to inquire about the patient¡¯s name from that day.


    Zhu Xuanwen!


    After some inquiry, Qin Xiaoyuan discovered that this man had a bit of fame!


    Zhu Xuanwen was a live-in son-in-law, the kind of character who¡¯s the protagonist in modern novels.


    His father-in-law was from Dongyang Province and had some connections. Zhu Xuanwen, working in construction, owned a large building company that often undertook government projects, and he had some connections with the real estate developers in Anyang.


    No wonder he was so arrogant that day.


    Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    In the face of such situations, one indeed feels helpless.


    Although he was the hospital director, Qin Xiaoyuan had worked his way up step by step, his network of relationships simply couldn¡¯t compare to these people¡¯s.


    In the end, he was just a director. When facing those who were unreasonably demanding, reason was futile.


    However, Qin Xiaoyuan was not worried; he didn¡¯t think this incident could do much harm to him.


    Moreover, so many people had witnessed it that day, both morally and rationally, he wasn¡¯t wrong.


    Therefore, Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t take it too seriously.


    But, just because he wasn¡¯t concerned, that didn¡¯t mean others weren¡¯t. For some reason, the news still spread throughout the hospital.


    Upon hearing this, the medical staff in the emergency department were immediately outraged!


    Tan Zhonglin was overwhelmed with guilt upon learning the news.


    After all, because of him, the director had been specifically mentioned by the higher-ups. If blame came down¡­


    Tan Zhonglin dared not think further; he felt that getting dismissed was inconsequential, but if it caused any trouble for Director Qin because of him, that would be unwarranted!


    After the entire emergency department learned the news, they were fuming and insisted on bringing out the surveillance footage from that day to submit to the Health Commission.


    It was at this time that an incident, neither too big nor too small, occurred.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Just after nine in the morning, Qin Xiaoyuan received a sudden call. It was Tan Zhonglin, but his voice was clearly heavy, ¡°Dean Qin, this is Tan Zhonglin, I need a favor from you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan asked out of curiosity, ¡°Director Tan, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    At that moment, a different male voice came on the line, ¡°Dean Qin, this is Kong Xiangmin.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was immediately taken aback!


    Who in Ammon City didn¡¯t know that name?


    Qin Xiaoyuan quickly responded, ¡°Hello.¡±


    Kong Xiangmin¡¯s voice was somewhat panicked and urgent, yet still somewhat composed, ¡°Dean Qin, my child¡¯s hand has been severed by a machine tool blade, and we need to perform surgery immediately. I need your help to facilitate this!¡±


    Before Qin Xiaoyuan could speak, the other party continued, ¡°I contacted Director Wang of the No. 6 Hospital in Haidu City and Jishuitan, hoping to transfer the patient, but they said that even at the fastest, it¡¯s too late for transport and that Chen from the Second Provincial Hospital is fully capable¡­¡±


    ¡°So, Dean Qin, I must ask for your assistance!¡±


    After hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan quickly said, ¡°We will prepare the operating room right away, you can come over any time now!¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly saw the light, acutely aware that this was an opportunity!


    He was about to pick up the phone to notify the emergency department, but then thought better of it and decided to make the trip personally.


    While in the elevator, he called Li Baoshan and rushed to the emergency department, where he found Chen Cang.


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Chen Cang and pulled him aside, ¡°Chen, the patient¡¯s hand has been cut off by a machine tool. We need to perform surgery immediately, and I hope you can perform it personally.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, pausing for a moment upon hearing the news.


    [Ding! Mission triggered, assist Qin Xiaoyuan. Mission requirement: Successfully treat Kong Jiahui and help complete the Limb Replantation Surgery!]


    Chen Cang was immediately startled!


    Limb replant? After hearing this, Chen Cang was visibly stunned.


    Limb Replantation Surgery!


    It was a procedure much more difficult than a finger replantation.


    Because the demands were greater.


    This was Chen Cang¡¯s first time performing it, and he was not confident since he didn¡¯t know the patient¡¯s condition. To discuss anything at this point was premature.


    Though it was said that limb replantation and finger replantation followed overall the same guidelines¡ªdebridement, skeletal fixation, then beginning vascular anastomosis, muscle and tendon repair, nerve repair, and skin reconstruction¡ª


    The survival of the replanted limb had to be considered, as well as the restoration of function. A single finger, even if seriously damaged and poorly recovering, wouldn¡¯t have too severe an impact, but what about a whole hand?


    The difference was simply too great!


    Considering this, Chen Cang took a deep breath.


    He too was acutely aware that this was an opportunity.


    Recently, due to the issue with Zhu Xuanwen, Qin Xiaoyuan had faced repercussions, and Chen Cang felt somewhat remorseful.


    And regarding Zhu Xuanwen, Chen Cang held him in contempt.


    If Chen Cang could be of help this time, perhaps it would be a good thing for Qin Xiaoyuan!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang looked at Qin Xiaoyuan and nodded, ¡°Rest assured, Dean Qin, I will give it my all!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Chen Cang, hesitated for a moment, ¡°Chen¡­ don¡¯t be too nervous, don¡¯t mind me. Just go ahead with the treatment confidently, don¡¯t put pressure on yourself.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°No problem!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, patted Chen Cang on the shoulder, and smiled.


    At that moment, the ambulance from the 120 service was already sounding, and everyone hastily dedicated themselves to the urgent rescue work.

 Chapter 480 - Chapter 480: Chapter 480: You! You! And you!

    Chapter 480: Chapter 480: You! You! And you!


    In the operating room, the chiefs of top hand and orthopedic surgery from provincial hospitals gathered.


    Everyone had to face the challenge of how to reattach this completely severed right hand.


    Traveling to the capital would take at least four to five hours, and journeying to Magic City would take even longer, not to mention the additional transfer time.


    Kong Xiangmin felt extremely anxious.


    No matter how high his position or how much money he had, when such a thing happened to his child, he was first and foremost a father and a husband.


    His wife stood by his side, maintaining her composure due to her good upbringing. Despite this, her trembling body leaned against Kong Xiangmin and took a long time to calm down.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, wife, there¡¯s nothing to worry about!¡±


    ¡°Really, the chief of Shanghai No. 6 Hospital, King, said that with Dr. Chen here, it¡¯s even more reliable than if he were here, so don¡¯t worry!¡±


    His wife, Qi Wen, was a university professor at Dongyang University of Science and Technology.


    Qi Wen took a deep breath to steady herself.


    ¡°Old Kong, it¡¯s just that he¡¯s only 30 years old, and it¡¯s his right hand! If it doesn¡¯t heal well, it could truly be ruined,¡± Qi Wen said, her voice quivering.


    How could Kong Xiangmin not understand?


    At this moment, Tan Zhonglin and Qin Xiaoyuan, along with Chen Cang, approached.


    ¡°This is Dr. Chen!¡±


    Before Chen Cang had a chance to greet him, Kong Xiangmin turned and took the initiative to shake hands, saying, ¡°Dr. Chen, hello, I am the patient¡¯s father.¡±


    One sentence increased Chen Cang¡¯s impression greatly.


    Implicitly, it meant there was no need to be nervous, for he was the doctor and Kong the family member¡ªthe patient was in the operating room, and the doctor should not feel any psychological burden.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t waste words. Shaking hands, he looked firmly into the other¡¯s eyes, ¡°I will do my best.¡±


    Kong Xiangmin nodded. At nearly 60 years old and with his work, his temples were already gray. His eyes showed no clear expression of joy or anger, but were filled with intense hope and request: ¡°Please, Dr. Chen.¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang entered the operating room with Tan Zhonglin.


    Qin Xiaoyuan did not follow them in but sat outside the operating room with Kong Xiangmin.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    As he walked, Chen Cang asked Tan Zhonglin, ¡°How long has it been?¡±


    After pondering for a moment, Tan Zhonglin answered, ¡°The limb has been severed for about an hour and a half, almost two hours now. Upon arrival at the hospital, we promptly did the blood test and the X-rays are also ready.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang fell into thought. Calculating based on two hours, the ischemia and hypoxia tolerance of the tissues at this time was acceptable.


    Be it a severed finger or limb, once separation occurs, under oxygen deprivation, the tissue cells begin a pathological evolution that worsens progressively, both quantitatively and qualitatively.


    Increasing in severity!


    In a severed limb, muscle tissue has the most vigorous metabolism. Its tolerance to oxygen deficiency is very poor, muscle cell degeneration occurs quickly, and the degree worsens with time.


    In an ideal room temperature condition, although it¡¯s said that 4¨C6 hours of ischemia can be tolerated,


    but many factors have to be considered, such as tissue infection, the surgical process, recovery, and individual variations!


    So, the safe time is relative.


    All Chen Cang could say was that the quicker, the better!


    Upon entering, Chen Cang did not go to wash up first but headed straight for the patient.


    The people around cleared a path when they saw Chen Cang enter.


    Although Chen Cang seemed a bit unfamiliar to many directors, everyone knew that the young Dr. Chen was the lead surgeon for this operation!


    Curiosity painted their faces, a mix of intrigue filling their hearts¡ªwhat was so remarkable about Dr. Chen that he had personally escorted the patient over?


    But present were directors from various hospitals, each sharp as a tack, careful not to speak out of turn.


    Nurse Yuan Yuan followed behind Chen Cang and was somewhat shocked by the sight of everyone making way when he arrived¡ªit was as if a king had returned!


    For a moment, Yuan Yuan was also a bit stunned.


    The patient was quite conscious, and that was Chen Cang¡¯s first impression. Accompanying the patient was Huo Guoqing, the director of the hand surgery department at Dongda Hospital, who was at that moment preserving the severed hand.


    When Kong Jiahui saw Chen Cang, he immediately grinned and said, ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯ve worked hard!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, foregoing the usual pleasantries and said directly, ¡°Let me have a look at the situation first.¡±


    Chen Cang unraveled the gauze covering the distal radial end where the hand should have been, revealing a fairly neat and regular wound. After inspecting it briefly with tweezers and gauze, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.


    Thank goodness!


    This was probably a silver lining in a dark cloud.


    The wound wasn¡¯t a crushing or compressive amputation, which would have been troublesome. But a clean, incisive laceration like this was likely a better candidate for reattachment!


    The most important and crucial aspect for a successful reattachment was blood vessel anastomosis. The higher the success rate of restoring blood circulation and the more perfect the vascular repair, the higher the chances of reattaching the limb and the better the functionality in the long run.


    So upon seeing this, Chen Cang relaxed and then said to Tan Zhonglin, ¡°Give me the films.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin nodded promptly, passing over the prepared films to Chen Cang without a hitch. The whole process was incredibly fluid, as if he were well accustomed to assisting.Upd@te by novg0.co


    This provoked surprise among the surrounding directors.


    Who exactly was this Dr. Chen?


    Why had they never heard of him before and¡­ why did Director Tan treat him with such respect?


    Three minutes later, Chen Cang had a comprehensive understanding of the patient¡¯s condition and then said to everyone, ¡°Prepare for surgery!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone perked up, eager to join in.


    An opportunity like this was rare, but ultimately it was up to the lead surgeon to choose the team.


    Chen Cang turned around, surveyed the directors, hesitated for a moment, and thought it was better not to use those he was unfamiliar with.


    So he decisively called out names, ¡°Director Tan, Director An, and¡­ you.¡±


    Chen Cang pointed at Huo Guoqing, who was holding the severed hand, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s operate together.¡±


    Huo Guoqing¡¯s eyebrows shot up; he had been eager from the start and quickly went off to wash his hands with a smile, preparing for the surgery.


    An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help but smile lightly. It seems ¡°Dean Chen¡± hadn¡¯t forgotten his proud student.


    The other six or seven directors left behind looked somewhat lost¡­


    Their hearts churned with complicated emotions¡ªit was too complex!


    Inwardly, some felt a sour taste, a bitter sensation, as if not being chosen by Chen Cang gave them a sense of loss like they had never experienced before!


    After all, such an opportunity was precious!


    The directors¡¯ hearts filled with a sour envy, watching the three directors Chen Cang had selected.


    And as Huo Guoqing was washing his hands, he almost broke into a grin but quickly suppressed it, lest they discover his schadenfreude and report him.

 Chapter 481 - Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Can it be so casual?

    Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Can it be so casual?


    After tasks were distributed, the whole team swiftly and orderly began their related work!


    Replantation surgery of a severed limb is complicated, requiring a variety of instruments, personnel allocation, and a complex surgical procedure.


    Nurse Li Ying personally took to the field, quickly arranging the operating room and preparing all the necessary surgical materials.


    Three sterile tables beside the operating table were ready, respectively holding the severed right hand, debridement instruments, and surgical tools.


    The anesthesiologist was still Liu Jian. In fact, it should have been the senior chief who took charge, but the senior chief smiled and let Liu Jian do it.


    Such an opportunity didn¡¯t matter much to the senior chief anymore, but for Liu Jian, it was a chance.


    It¡¯s important to note that the role of the anesthesiologist in surgery is quite significant. This favor would not be forgotten; after the operation, the Kong family would undoubtedly treat everyone participating, presenting Liu Jian with an excellent opportunity to network.


    Liu Jian was, therefore, very grateful to the senior chief.


    In one¡¯s lifetime, you¡¯re bound to encounter several benefactors. Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s benefactor was Teacher Fang Yonglin, while Liu Jian¡¯s was the senior chief.


    These benefactors provide you with opportunities at critical moments, giving you a push that can greatly advance your life.


    Since the injury was only a simple right-hand amputation, general anesthesia wasn¡¯t necessary. They opted for epidural anesthesia, which had minimal impact on systemic circulation and respiration and allowed for the extension of anesthesia time as needed for the surgery.


    Liu Jian had solid fundamental skills. After giving his instructions, he administered the anesthesia, and it wasn¡¯t long before the surgery officially began!


    The first step was still debridement. Thorough debridement is essential for preventing infection and is the foundation for a successful replantation.


    High-quality vascular anastomosis is key to the survival of the reattached limb.


    The repair of muscles, tendons, bones, and nerves ensures the restoration of function.


    Therefore, each step required careful handling.


    Debridement is not merely about cleaning the wound. It¡¯s also an indispensable process for further comprehensive understanding of the damaged tissue.


    This was extremely important for Chen Cang to decide on the replantation plan later on.


    Thus, Chen Cang was very meticulous during the debridement process, spending a lot of time to understand the details of the vessels, nerves, tendons, and bones!


    Chen Cang repeatedly scrubbed the ends of the severed limb with sterile soap and a disinfectant brush, followed by copious irrigation with isotonic saline.


    The next crucial step was to thoroughly debride all damaged tissues and foreign materials!


    What does debridement mean?


    It¡¯s not just washing the wound surface!


    It also involves clearing the wound area.


    Based on the condition of the tissue cross-section, whether there¡¯s bleeding, the shape, color, and so on, one must determine whether the tissue is viable or needs to be excised.


    Chen Cang was very attentive and thorough.


    Because this was the guarantee of successful surgery and a key factor for later recovery.


    Everyone present knew the difficulty and watched with bated breath, observing attentively.


    But no matter what, debridement was one of Chen Cang¡¯s greatest advantages!


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes could clearly see the necrotic tissue, then methodically clean it up, either by trimming, cutting, or preserving.


    At this moment, Huo Guoqing couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ don¡¯t you need to make any markings?¡±


    Chen Cang was slightly startled and before he could reply, Tan Zhonglin shook his head at Huo Guoqing, signaling not to disturb Dr. Chen Cang.


    Normally, before excising devitalized tissue, it¡¯s necessary to ligate the main nerves and blood vessels with black silk to mark the ends, which facilitates finding them later.


    Yet Chen Cang didn¡¯t need to do this at all because ligating them would lead to further damage, and he didn¡¯t need to rely on ligation to identify each nerve, vessel, tendon¡­


    For him, every minute was precious.


    These things, which Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun, who frequently followed Chen Cang, understood well!


    This wasn¡¯t something others could imitate; it required sufficient knowledge of the tissues and structures as well as a superbrain-like memory capacity!


    Deciding what stays and what goes, with tendons, skin, and nerves is the most critical part of debridement.


    Chen Cang had his own standards, as long as the system prompted that everything black should be cut off, these indicated no hope of saving.


    But in the eyes of others, Chen Cang had become a decisive, sharp, and ruthlessly accurate presence!


    The selection and control of each nerve and tendon were extremely precise.


    It couldn¡¯t help but evoke a sense of admiration!


    From the initial debridement of the surgery, Chen Cang had already conquered all the attending directors with his strength.


    For such a large wound, with such a high degree of precision, and in the nerve and tendon dense area of the wrist, Chen Cang handled it as if he were a sophisticated instrument.


    It took about an hour for Chen Cang to finish the treatment!


    Upon reflection, it had been three hours since the hand was amputated.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but become serious!


    Every minute meant further muscle tissue damage, which related to the functional recovery of the hand later on, as well as to the patient¡¯s quality of life.


    This process was exhausting!


    Chen Cang felt some fatigue, after all, those fine manoeuvres, a fraction too much could have an impact, a bit too little could cause adhesions, such complex and precise debridement, accurate choices, resolute cutting and repair¡­ these were not guaranteed by all directors present!


    But, how old was Doctor Chen anyway?


    After an indeterminate amount of time, when everyone felt tired just from watching, Chen Cang finally finished!


    Chen Cang put down the scalpel and said to Tan Zhonglin, ¡°Vascular bed is clean, I¡¯m ready for bone fixation!¡±


    Tan Zhonglin didn¡¯t dare to be careless, and An Yanjun hurriedly started cleaning the blood vessels.


    In replantation surgery, whether it¡¯s finger or limb replantation, it¡¯s necessary to clean the vascular bed, otherwise, if one rushes to perform vascular anastomosis, after the surgery it¡¯s very likely that circulatory disturbances will occur, leading to another round of necrosis, or even inducing systemic symptoms, because it¡¯s not uncommon for a hand to cause amputation or even death!


    However, Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun were very well prepared, paying great attention to these details.


    Operating with Chen Cang by their side, every aspect was about detail, and Chen Cang¡¯s grasp of details was particularly precise, which gave the two disciples some insights.


    After the cleaning was finished, Chen Cang picked up the amputated hand and carefully compared it!


    Bone pinning is an important step in replantation surgery, as well as the support and reliance for tissue repair.


    And the requirements for internal skeletal fixation are: simple and fast, stable and time-saving!


    This is a moment that greatly tests the surgeon¡¯s technique, how the chief surgeon can quickly and stably dock the ends of the bones, which cannot be done without hundreds of surgeries.


    Because the bones after trauma are defective, how to choose and how to dock all become extremely important.


    At this moment, all the directors watched Chen Cang with rapt attention, waiting for him to dock!


    But at that moment when everyone was bewildered, Chen Cang casually picked up and joined the two hands together, saying, ¡°Screw through for fixation!¡±


    Tan Zhonglin nodded, An Yanjun assisted, and Huo Guoqing was dumbfounded!


    What the hell?


    Is it really that casual?


    Governor Kong will go crazy when he finds out!


    Not to mention ten or eight trials for bone alignment, but it does require careful comparison, what you are doing isn¡¯t docking, it¡¯s clearly just carelessly putting them together!


    But just at that moment, when he looked down, the scene in front of him was something he would never forget for the rest of his life!


    What is technique?


    This damn well is technique!


    And the surrounding people also crowded over, each with an expression of disbelief on their faces.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: These two chapters were exhausting to write, I looked up a lot of information, and even watched two surgeries, I¡¯m also overwhelmed¡­

 Chapter 482 - Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Since ancient times... a young hero rises!

    Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Since ancient times¡­ a young hero rises!


    Chen Cang¡¯s sharp, swift, and steady repositioning technique immediately caught the eye of everyone involved!


    They all had experience in digit replantation surgery and had performed fracture reduction surgery on the hand, well aware of the unique nature of hand joints and bones.


    However, it was precisely because they knew this that they were even more astonished. How on earth did Chen Cang manage it!


    No one would ever think it was a coincidence!


    At their age, they would rather believe in skill than in luck.


    The seemingly casual alignment by Chen Cang just now was actually a matter of precise and subtle movements.


    Huo Guoqing was first shocked, then started to observe closely.


    Naturally, he didn¡¯t think that Chen Cang was just messing around. Not even with ordinary patients would Chen Cang be careless!


    There had to be a key element within.


    Realizing this, Huo Guoqing noticed that Chen Cang¡¯s hands were making continuous subtle adjustments which seemed casual but were actually laden with ingenuity; indeed, this was crucial.


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were fixed on the bone ends, adjusting continuously by feel, and then he applied a slight force with his fingers, operating with delicate movements without stopping.


    After that, when Chen Cang felt it was good enough, he hurriedly asked Tan Zhonglin to prepare the bone pins!


    Meanwhile, Huo Guoqing always felt that Chen Cang¡¯s technique seemed familiar, this way of changing the direction of the bones through the fluctuation of the fingers, applying force on both sides¡­


    Huo Guoqing frowned!


    He was certain he had seen this technique before, but for the life of him could not recall where.


    Suddenly, the screw Tan Zhonglin held was driven through, and the stainless steel wire was prepared for cross-fixation!


    At this moment, Chen Cang glanced at the clock on the wall: another 40 minutes had passed!


    By now, it had been 3 hours and 40 minutes since the hand was severed.


    This meant that the muscle tissue cells had already begun to suffer damage due to ischemia and anoxia. If vascular anastomosis couldn¡¯t be performed in time, it would inevitably cause some irreversible damage.


    Sure, there were some case reports that claimed success even after more than 20 hours, with satisfactory limb outcomes.


    But what¡¯s the difference between that and hype or advertising.


    Anecdotal cases cannot represent the large dataset.


    In medicine, you really can¡¯t rely on those individual cases to make a point.


    To put it plainly, it means: Don¡¯t count on luck!


    In the face of life, no one can truly cheat fate.


    Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, he had not wasted too much time, which would not affect the upcoming vascular anastomosis.


    Every step taken by Chen Cang was aimed at saving time while ensuring the quality of the surgery!


    Just as Chen Cang picked up the ¡°eightfold Mirror,¡± suddenly a voice came from the crowd.


    ¡°Doctor Chen¡­ you seem to have not performed a bone shortening!¡±


    This message immediately made the surrounding directors inwardly curse their bad luck.


    This was not good news at all!


    Huo Guoqing suddenly realized that Chen Cang indeed hadn¡¯t performed a bone shortening!


    What is bone shortening?


    In the initial debridement, when cleaning the soft tissue at the severed end, those necrotic tissues are cleaned through processes like trimming, excision, etc¡­


    This includes tissues such as nerves and blood vessels.


    Therefore, after debridement, it would inevitably affect the length of soft tissues like vessels, nerves, and tendons. Since the bone might be long, coupling it afterward might make it difficult to suture and repair due to insufficient length of the nerve vascular tissues.


    Hence, a removal would be needed before bone end alignment, so that the length of blood vessels, nerves, and tendons could just fit for suturing, achieving a better anastomosis effect!


    But Chen Cang evidently had not performed a bone shortening, had he?


    All at once, everyone couldn¡¯t help but worry about Chen Cang.


    But¡­ in such a setting, it seemed inappropriate to point it out publicly¡­ after all, the patient was still conscious!


    Even the director who spoke felt somewhat apologetic, but¡­ it¡¯s a basic professional conduct for a doctor to point out issues when necessary, and he didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with his actions.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t speak, but ¡°Disciple Number Two¡± Tan Zhonglin said with a smile, ¡°Doctor Chen likes to take bone abrasion into account while debriding, so he had already shortened the bone in advance.¡±


    After finishing, Tan Zhonglin pointed to the wound and said, ¡°Look, now the length of the vascular anastomosis is just right!¡±


    Everyone immediately drew closer to examine carefully, and when they did, they were stunned!


    Because it was indeed just right!


    At this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but exchange incredulous glances.


    Debriding the soft tissue while also cleaning the bone surface, thus completing bone shortening?


    This¡­ seemed like a good idea, maybe something to try in the future!


    Arteries in the arm are much thicker than in the wrist or fingers and can be sutured without wearing surgical microscopes.


    But even the best eyesight cannot assess tissue damage, especially to the inner lining of blood vessels, and achieve precise vascular anastomosis the way a surgical microscope can.


    At that point, Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun immediately put down what they were doing and watched Chen Cang¡¯s vascular suturing with great attention.


    Truth be told, up until now, neither of them had fully grasped Chen Cang¡¯s vascular suturing techniques, which always seemed simple but invariably contained hidden tricks.


    Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun watched one of Chen Cang¡¯s surgeries every week and had recently noticed that his understanding of vascular suturing was growing deeper, almost as if guided by some ineffable principle.


    Huo Guoqing, watching the suturing, hmmed, ¡°Ah, the most commonly used intermittent suturing method. This method causes less damage to the vessel wall, reducing the likelihood of narrowing, yet it¡¯s quite time-consuming due to its high technical demands!¡±


    Yet Chen Cang¡¯s subsequent suturing suddenly shifted Huo Guoqing¡¯s understanding of this traditional method!


    This¡­ is this really the intermittent suturing method?


    Are you sure it¡¯s not the continuous one?


    Doctor Chen! You¡­ are this fast?


    The chief surgeon on site was also wide-eyed and short of breath; Doctor Chen was¡­ so fast!


    Could such speed not lead to side effects?


    Could it affect blood flow?


    Curiosity was rife as people began to whisper and exchange their thoughts.


    ¡­


    Chen Cang, completely focused, first sutured a vein and an artery, then moved on to suture another vein, and finally, another artery.


    This detail led the attending chiefs to nod subtly; it was a fine idea, starting with an artery indeed could help the ischemic tissues.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Chen Cang finished suturing!


    At this point, to check the suturing results, everyone gathered around for a closer look.


    They saw that after anastomosis, the artery and vein were well engorged, the skin gradually began regaining its color, and the duration for capillary refill¡­ was actually no more than two seconds!


    All signs indicated that Chen Cang¡¯s vascular suturing was very successful!


    Everyone then looked up at the young man, feeling somewhat moved. He was indeed remarkable!


    From the beginning until now, not even two hours had passed, and the hand was almost certainly saved, the vascular anastomosis was good, it could basically be declared a surgical success.


    As of now, it was virtually guaranteed ¨C the hand was saved!


    Moreover, the time consumed from start to finish exceeded their understanding of reattachment surgery.


    Each doctor asked themselves, was I this quick?


    They all shook their heads in wonderment.


    Indeed¡­ prodigies have risen since ancient times!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Today, I read a question from a reader asking if epidural anesthesia can be used for hand surgery. Here I can give everyone a brief overview so you can generally understand anesthesia.


    Theoretically, epidural block can be used for any surgery except for the head.


    From a safety standpoint, however, epidural anesthesia is mainly employed for abdominal and lower body surgeries, including urologic, gynecologic, and lower limb procedures.


    For hand surgeries, if there are no systemic symptoms, there¡¯s no need for general anesthesia, which can affect the respiratory tract and other aspects, whereas high epidural anesthesia can better control the duration of the anesthesia, suggesting this friend has some understanding of anesthesia.

 Chapter 483 - Chapter 483: Chapter 483: The Heir!

    Chapter 483: Chapter 483: The Heir!


    Kong Jiahui had the disconcerting feeling of being an orangutan on display for a crowd of onlookers!


    He felt this was just an illusion.


    After all, with so many doctors around, they all came with a caring attitude, so how could he entertain such a thought?


    Kong Jiahui¡¯s good upbringing constantly brainwashed him: they were not there for the spectacle, certainly not there to watch a show, but for the treatment¡­


    He knew his mind was clear at that moment, but looking at his own hand was more than he could bear. Yet, when he saw the surrounding people¡¯s eyes¡ªso burning and naked¡ªhe took a deep breath and closed his eyes.


    The feeling of being on display was simply unbearable.


    But¡­ he truly hoped that his hand was all right¡­


    This incident was a complete accident. As the deputy chief engineer of Southeast Heavy Machinery company and providing technical guidance, he was accompanying the visiting leaders from Jinyang City to inspect the workshop.


    Southeast Heavy Machinery Company was also a star enterprise in Dongyang Province. The Jinyang City leader, Chen Guohua, wanted to set up a branch in Jinyang City. In his forties, Chen Guohua naturally wanted to achieve a career and also wanted to give Kong Jiahui some political accomplishments.


    However, during Chen Guohua¡¯s symbolic inspection of the equipment, nobody expected the milling machine to malfunction. In a critical moment, it was Kong Jiahui who saved Chen Guohua, but¡­ his own reaction was delayed, and his hand was severed!


    The scene instantly shocked everyone present!


    In a crucial moment, the workers hurriedly cut off the power supply, but it was already too late; Kong Jiahui¡¯s right hand was chopped off.


    Everyone¡¯s shock upon witnessing this was immediate.


    And Kong Jiahui, only in his thirties, faced with such an event, his first thought was fear, for anyone would tremble at the sight of his own hand being cut off!


    But what worried him even more was the Jinyang City leader, Chen Guohua, who had been saved by Kong Jiahui¡¯s heroic actions. Overwhelmed by the close shave and seeing Kong Jiahui¡¯s hand cut off, Chen Guohua was stunned!


    After all¡­ this was the son of the Kong family, already a deputy general manager, deputy chief engineer, and deputy department head at such a young age, which could be said to be a future full of promise!


    If something happened, his own troubles would multiply!


    Moreover, most importantly, Kong Jiahui had stepped forward for him.


    All those present, including the company¡¯s CEO, were witness to this moment, and they were all dumbfounded!


    No one expected Kong Jiahui to step forward at a critical time!


    After all¡­ this young man truly had a limitless future, with skills, ability, and connections, clearly a rising star.


    But now!


    Kong Jiahui¡¯s actions immediately earned everyone¡¯s profound respect.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, outside the operating room, Chen Guohua and the leaders of Southeast Heavy Machinery Company stood aside, watching Kong Xiangmin about to speak when words failed him, as he didn¡¯t know what to say.


    Chen Guohua couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Leader, you have raised a good son! This is all my fault today!¡±


    Kong Xiangmin waved his hand, having already learned the details of the incident; he had no complaints about his child¡¯s injury, instead feeling some pride!


    But¡­ as a parent, he would have rather his child hadn¡¯t stood out; he wished even more that his son was healthy.


    And now his hand was gone!


    It was no use saying anything, and Kong Xiangmin sighed to Chen Guohua, ¡°It¡¯s all right, it¡¯s not really related to you, it was his own choice, no need for you to feel guilty.¡±


    Be that as it may, how could Chen Guohua not feel guilty?


    Not feeling guilty was a lie!


    He was not afraid of Kong Xiangmin, but he felt a sense of guilt inside!


    Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Xiao Chen has done reattachment surgery on severed limbs and has done it quite well. The recovery of function is also good, and if the rehabilitation training keeps up, basically there won¡¯t be much impact.¡±


    ¡°`


    As these words were spoken, everyone immediately turned their gaze toward Qin Xiaoyuan.


    Kong Xiangmin nodded, ¡°Then we¡¯ll have to trouble Dr. Chen with this!¡±


    At this moment, the hearts of several leaders were anxiously worrying about the surgery taking place inside.


    Meanwhile, a group of directors inside felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden!


    One moment there was a cry of ¡°Damn!¡±, the next a mutter of ¡°Good grief!¡±


    Kong Jiahui felt a bit awkward hearing this, convinced in his heart that they were definitely there to watch the excitement!


    But then he thought, doesn¡¯t this also precisely indicate that Dr. Chen is highly skilled in surgery?


    Thinking this, Kong Jiahui also felt hopeful, wishing that his hand would heal!


    Time passed by every second.


    The appearance of Chen Cang¡¯s ¡°Chen method¡± for tendon suturing once again caused a stir.


    What kind of suturing method is this?


    Everyone was looking at each other in disbelief!


    But strangely, this time no one made a peep.


    Becuase they were all afraid to be scorned for speaking out¡­


    Though they were astonished, it was a suturing technique they had never even heard of, and they simply couldn¡¯t find the words.


    None of those present were minor doctors; they were all experts and directors in the field of hand surgery from Dongyang Province, yet they had never seen such a tendon suturing method!


    They couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Huo Guoqing was a man who spoke his mind without fear of losing face, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have volunteered to bring Kong Jiahui¡¯s hand to the hospital himself.


    After seeing this suturing technique, he was immediately curious, but¡­ seeing all the directors around him remaining silent, he began to feel his face flush!


    Am I the only one who doesn¡¯t know?


    Feeling this, old Huo was also filled with shame.


    Nevertheless, with a flush of embarrassment, he asked, ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ I seem to have never seen this tendon suturing method before¡­¡±


    Tan Zhonglin heard this and immediately felt pride swelling within him!


    Of course, it was an exclusive secret technique, unknown to the average person.


    As an heir to the ¡°Chen method,¡± Tan Zhonglin was honored and proud. Although ¡°Chen method¡± had not yet become widely known, he believed it was only a matter of time.


    After all, when Chen Cang¡¯s ¡°Chen method¡± was still not fully developed, even Wang Yushan, the dean of Hai City Sixth Hospital, and Chang Honglei, the director of Jishuitan Hospital, were already amazed.


    And now, Tan Zhonglin guaranteed that if they knew, they would definitely come to Anyang to learn!


    By then¡­ he would be the first generation disciple!


    Thinking of this, Tan Zhonglin also felt quite proud!


    The only thing slightly bothering him was the presence of An Yanjun, for it¡¯s true what they say: those who live nearby get the first pick!


    The surgery ended quickly. As the suturing proceeded, the skin was seamlessly brought together. Since there were many ridges on the skin of the wrist, the stitches were intentionally hidden during suturing, making the entire process extremely clever. Even An Yanjun had to remark with admiration that young Chen had gotten even more skilled since the beginning!


    Meanwhile, the group of ¡°Grandma Lius¡± behind felt as if their entire worldview had been shattered!


    How had Second Provincial Hospital kept such a terror hidden away?


    Why hadn¡¯t they heard of such a figure in Dongyang Province¡¯s field of hand surgery!


    ¡°`

 Chapter 485 - Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Ive heard of this name!

    Chapter 485: Chapter 485: I¡¯ve heard of this name!


    (Note: ¡°³É³¤¡± has been filtered out and automatically replaced with ¡°high-ranking official,¡± creating a strange sense of dissonance. From now on, let¡¯s just say ¡°leader¡±.)


    Upon hearing Kong Xiangmin¡¯s words, Qin Xiaoyuan also deciphered the underlying nuances.


    However, after a brief silence, Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t want to waste a favor, so he said, ¡°Leader, it¡¯s not a big deal. I¡¯ll go and come right back. So, Chen Cang, take Jia Hui to the orthopedics department and complete the emergency transfer procedures. I¡¯ll be right there.¡±


    ¡°How about you all go first, and Chen Cang and I will follow shortly?¡±


    When Kong Xiangmin heard this, he nodded slightly, ¡°Let¡¯s do that. We¡¯ll sit here and chat for a bit. You go ahead with your tasks, and we¡¯ll get in touch via phone later.¡±


    Actually, as parents, Kong Xiangmin should be the one handling Kong Jiahui¡¯s hospital admission¡­ but due to his special status, it wouldn¡¯t be appropriate for Kong Xiangmin to be too exposed, and no one else quite fit the bill. Yet, it was most appropriate for Chen Cang to do so, especially since Chen Cang still had to address Kong Jiahui as ¡°Brother¡±.


    It must be said that Qin Xiaoyuan was quite adept at handling matters, having Chen Cang take care of it was suitable for everyone involved, good for Chen Cang himself, and would also strengthen their relationship.


    And Kong Xiangmin would have no other thoughts on the matter.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    While Chen Cang and the nurse were taking Kong Jiahui to complete the transfer, Qin Xiaoyuan, deep in thought, returned to the administrative building.


    To be honest, he was curious to see who was trying to stir up trouble and what kind of trouble they were after.


    Just as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Tan Liguo standing in the hallway, who immediately signaled to Qin Xiaoyuan with his eyes.


    Qin Xiaoyuan rushed over.


    After entering the door, Qin Xiaoyuan saw the person and immediately greeted him cheerfully, ¡°Director Duan? Hello, hello!¡±


    On seeing Qin Xiaoyuan, Duan Xuezhen also quickly got up, smiled, and nodded, ¡°Director Qin, it¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯ve seen each other.¡±


    Although hospitals are managed by the Health Commission, the situation is quite complex.


    There are many provincial-level, top-tier hospitals in Anyang city, but generally, they are considered department-level organizations.


    However, hospitals like the First and Second Hospitals of Dongda University, Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, and the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital are all deputy-directorate level since their directors hold other deputy-directorate positions as well, such as the director of Dongda University¡¯s First Hospital, who is also the president of Dongyang Medical University, and the director of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, who currently doubles as a vice-director at the provincial healthcare department.


    The Second Provincial Hospital is more ordinary, and so is Qin Xiaoyuan. Moreover, to put it differently, moving up from a department-level to a directorate-level position relies on opportunities and many other factors; it is a very difficult transition to make.


    Over the years, Qin Xiaoyuan had come to terms with this and no longer fixated on it; being in his position was not too bad.


    Originally a doctor by profession, he did not have a strong craving for an official career. And, frankly speaking, how many more years could he work?


    There was no point at all!


    However, on seeing Duan Xuezhen, Qin Xiaoyuan was momentarily startled because, although their relationship couldn¡¯t be considered great, it certainly wasn¡¯t bad either!


    Why is that? Because they had both met at Huang Yongyi¡¯s house, had meals together, and had some interactions; one could even say Huang Yongyi was their former leader, coming from the same circle!


    Therefore, Qin Xiaoyuan was quite curious.


    After sitting down, Duan Xuezhen finally spoke, ¡°Director Qin, I came here today to give you a heads-up. In the next few days, someone is going to make trouble for you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly realized!


    He had thought that the leader from the Health Commission had come to criticize him, but instead, he was here to enlighten him.


    Immediately curious, he asked, ¡°Director Duan, what do you mean?¡±


    Duan Xuezhen said, ¡°I found out about this by chance and don¡¯t know the specifics. All I know is that during this period, someone has been inciting several others and seems to have gone to the Health Commission to file a complaint against you, adamant about stirring up trouble. Moreover, that person seems to have some connections. I can¡¯t speak freely over the phone, but since I was passing by today, I thought I¡¯d come over to give you a heads-up, just so you¡¯re prepared.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t let others harm you unexpectedly!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded his head, now understanding what was going on. It was just as the saying goes, ¡°to each his own path.¡± And indeed, this seemed very much like Zhu Xuanwen¡¯s style.


    It was nothing more than smearing him and hopefully unearthing some dirt on him.


    With that in mind, Qin Xiaoyuan smiled faintly.


    Yet, he was very grateful for Duan Xuezhen¡¯s warning; sometimes, having someone pass on a message could be a great help!


    Having advance information allows for earlier preparation.


    Duan Xuezhen was indeed thoughtful, and thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyuan quickly spoke up, ¡°Director Duan, thank you for the tip; I really appreciate it!¡±


    Duan Xuezhen smiled, stood up to leave, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, we¡¯re here to help each other! I won¡¯t stay any longer, I have some other matters to attend to.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan hurriedly stood up to see him out, truly appreciative of Duan Xuezhen¡¯s thoughtfulness.


    With that thought, after escorting him out, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly said, ¡°Um¡­ Director Duan, why don¡¯t you come with me to meet someone? We can take the opportunity to say hello.¡±


    Duan Xuezhen was taken aback, what did this mean?


    Qin Xiaoyuan then gave a mysterious smile and said, ¡°Leader Kong.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Duan Xuezhen¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang had also settled Kong Jiahui and, after a brief chat, went downstairs.


    Qin Xiaoyuan brought the somewhat nervous and apprehensive Duan Xuezhen to the surgical area, where Duan Xuezhen saw Kong Xiangmin and quickly went over with a smile.


    ¡°How are you, Leader! The child is all right, isn¡¯t he?¡± Duan Xuezhen hurriedly greeted.


    Kong Xiangmin nodded and shook hands, ¡°Thank you for your concern, Director Duan, thanks to Dean Qin and Doctor Chen¡¯s help, fortunately, there¡¯s no problem. Are you here for work?¡±


    Only then did Duan Xuezhen say, ¡°I came to speak with Dean Qin for a moment.¡±


    Kong Xiangmin seemed to ponder but didn¡¯t inquire further.


    Duan Xuezhen didn¡¯t stay long; he greeted them briefly and then left.


    And Kong Xiangmin¡¯s party also headed toward the restaurant.


    But in less than twenty minutes, Duan Xuezhen didn¡¯t leave; instead, he brought some supplements, health products, and fruits, in large and small packages, to the orthopedic department.


    He thought to himself, this trip was indeed worthwhile!


    That¡¯s the way it is between people: give roses and the fragrance lingers on the hand that gives. Helping each other allows for enduring relationships.


    Duan Xuezhen originally thought of Qin Xiaoyuan as a senior official and a casual conversation as a way to help each other out.


    He didn¡¯t expect to make a connection with Leader Kong because of it.


    He couldn¡¯t help feeling emotional!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The restaurant was not particularly upscale, but it was quite nice. A large table was set for about a dozen people, and after they sat down, Kong Xiangmin, without any pretense, picked up his tea and said, ¡°For what happened with Jia Hui today, we really owe a lot to everyone present. My wife and I would like to toast you all.¡±


    The others hurriedly joined in, also with modest refusals.


    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Doctor Chen¡¯s work today!¡±


    ¡°Right, Doctor Chen worked hard today.¡±


    ¡­


    Listening to the praises, Chen Cang also gave an embarrassed smile.


    Watching this, Kong Xiangmin suddenly mused and said, ¡°I know about Xiao Chen. Just a few days ago, I read about him in the newspaper, the traffic accident rescue, truly remarkable.¡±


    At that moment, Kong Xiangmin¡¯s wife suddenly said, ¡°I remember seeing Xiao Chen¡¯s name a couple of months ago in the An Yang Evening News, right? It was about¡­ oh yes, something about not letting others cut in line.¡±


    Then, it dawned on Kong Xiangmin just how impressive Chen Cang really was!


    Looking at Chen Cang with a big smile, he expressed his admiration, ¡°Chen really is excellent, a man of both virtue and skill, a good doctor!¡±

 Chapter 486 - Chapter 486: Chapter 486: All is Well Now!

    Chapter 486: Chapter 486: All is Well Now!


    The dinner was harmonious, and everyone got along splendidly.


    There was laughter and chatter all around, but given Kong Xiangmin¡¯s status, naturally, no one could speak recklessly or bring up other matters. So instead¡­ everyone simply started talking about Chen Cang.


    According to the conversation¡­ Chen Cang was an outstanding talent, unique in the world.


    Once the mood lightened, everyone opened up more and engaged in the discussion.


    At that moment, Kong Xiangmin turned to Qin Xiaoyuan and said, ¡°Director Qin, I heard from Director Duan that you ran into some trouble?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback and then chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s a small matter, not worth troubling the leaders over.¡±


    Kong Xiangmin smiled, ¡°It¡¯s fine, tell me, what happened?¡±


    Realizing that Kong Xiangmin was determined to help, Qin Xiaoyuan then said, ¡°On the morning a few days ago, as I was passing by the emergency department, I heard a commotion inside. I encountered a man who¡­ ¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan recounted the story in detail, then also mentioned how he had scolded Zhu Xuanwen.


    ¡°Today, Director Duan came to tell me that Zhu Xuanwen seems to have been rounding up people lately to complain about me. It¡¯s really not a big deal.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Kong Xiangmin nodded his head immediately.


    Huo Guoqing, who was sitting nearby, suddenly had a realization and turned to Qin Xiaoyuan, ¡°Director Qin, that was you! I saw this video on TikTok a couple of days ago.¡±


    Instantly, everyone became curious. Huo Guoqing slapped his thigh and said to everyone, ¡°Director Qin spoke really well that day, it really got my blood pumping. Right, let me show everyone this video.¡±


    So, the phone was first passed to Kong Xiangmin. The video, clearly edited, was more fluid.


    You could clearly hear Zhu Xuanwen¡¯s insults to the medical staff:


    ¡°Am I like you? You all do meaningless work; hundreds of people are waiting for me to provide their meals!¡±


    ¡°Do you believe that I make more in an hour than you all do in a month!¡±


    ¡°Just you wait, if you dare, don¡¯t leave the hospital!¡±


    ¡°Oh, what a big deal you think you are, rules? Rules are set by humans!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Such words were very grating to Kong Xiangmin¡¯s ears. He and his wife had technical backgrounds, and so did Kong Jiahui¡ªthus they greatly admired technical staff. Hearing Zhu Xuanwen acting like a typical nouveau riche, Kong Xiangmin immediately felt annoyed!


    Latter on, when they saw Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s reprimand:


    ¡°You¡¯ve forgotten to pick up something!¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want your face, please don¡¯t throw it on the ground like trash; it will be despised. Pick it up quickly, don¡¯t pollute our hospital environment!¡±


    ¡°What you all do is the most meaningful work, no one else can replace it! As long as you¡¯re in the hospital, follow the hospital¡¯s rules and regulations, the hospital will be your backer!¡±


    ¡­


    These words instantly brought a respectful silence among the people, truly, he was a good hospital director!


    After hearing this, Kong Xiangmin couldn¡¯t help but give Qin Xiaoyuan a thumbs up, ¡°Well done Director Qin! Well said!¡±


    ¡°We need directors like you, who truly protect the interests of the people!¡±


    After finishing, Kong Xiangmin looked at Zhu Xuanwen in the video with disdain and asked, ¡°Who is this person?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan replied, ¡°His name is Zhu Xuanwen, he¡¯s the CEO of Zhida Construction Company.¡±


    After hearing this, Kong Xiangmin nodded, ¡°I see.¡±


    After everyone had watched the video, they burst into applause, ¡°Good job Director Qin, a role model for our generation indeed!¡±


    The meal lasted an hour before everyone slowly dispersed.


    Kong Xiangmin and his wife went to see Kong Jiahui, packed some nutritious food in a box, and delivered it to him.


    They didn¡¯t stay long before leaving.


    As for the matter with Kong Xiangmin¡¯s son, Kong Jiahui, it was kept confidential for the time being to prevent too many people from finding out.


    Kong Xiangmin then said to his wife, ¡°You go home first, I¡¯m going to the office.¡±


    His wife nodded, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll come over to take care of the child for the next few days and ask for some time off.¡±


    Kong Xiangmin nodded without objection.


    With such a big incident concerning their child, it was quite worrying for the parents.


    As soon as Kong Xiangmin stepped out of the hospital entrance, his driver quickly stopped the car for him.


    After getting into the car, Kong Xiangmin said, ¡°Take me to the provincial government.¡±


    The driver nodded and drove towards the provincial government.


    In the car, Kong Xiangmin picked up the phone and dialed a number, ¡°Help me investigate someone named Zhu Xuanwen from Zhida Construction Company, yes, and look into the company as well.¡±


    Originally, he had been willing to lend a hand with Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s issue, but after Kong Xiangmin saw the video, he was no longer just a little annoyed.


    He couldn¡¯t stand this kind of bullying behavior.


    It was completely lawless.


    He had some understanding of Zhida Construction Company since many government projects in Anyang City involved cooperation with them. If Zhu Xuanwen was that kind of person, he now worried whether there might also be problems with those jobs!


    With this in mind, Kong Xiangmin decided to investigate the company. If there were any issues of corruption, shoddy construction, or other problems, he was determined to punish them severely!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After Kong Xiangmin left, the first to breathe a sigh of relief was unquestionably Chen Guohua. If Jia Hui¡¯s hand had been lost, he would feel guilty for a lifetime!


    Some things really can¡¯t be compensated for.


    Jia Hui¡¯s status was also special, and the two families had always been in contact. If something had gone wrong¡­


    Upon this thought, Chen Guohua sighed.


    However, fortunately, it was all right!


    He looked at Chen Cang with gratitude, ¡°Chen, I owe you a huge debt of gratitude today. Otherwise, I would have been wracked with guilt!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°You¡¯re exaggerating, Mr. Chen. It¡¯s my job.¡±


    Chen Guohua also smiled, feeling a load off his heart, and even his breathing seemed much smoother.


    Chen Guohua nodded and exchanged contact information with Chen Cang, saying, ¡°Chen, I¡¯m heading back to Jinyang today. If you have time to come over, I¡¯ll treat you.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and then smiled, ¡°Mayor Chen, that¡¯s quite a coincidence. I¡¯m actually from Jinyang City, from Dongchang County below it, to be precise.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Guohua burst into laughter and exclaimed, ¡°What a coincidence indeed!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, he hadn¡¯t expected that.


    Chen Guohua nodded, ¡°Alright, give me a call when you¡¯re back home, and we¡¯ll get together then.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, and then they parted ways.

    That very evening, Kong Xiangmin held a report in his hands, which detailed everything about Zhu Xuanwen and his Zhida Construction Company, including Zhu Xuanwen¡¯s background connections and associates. It was very detailed, with everything that one could ask for.


    After reading it, Kong Xiangmin took a deep breath!


    This person, no wonder he was so arrogant, he deserved to be punished. But he had to consider saving face for the senior officials¡­


    With this thought, Kong Xiangmin pondered for a moment before calling the secretary¡¯s office, ¡°Organize a meeting about urban construction tomorrow at 8 o¡¯clock.¡±


    The next morning, the meeting was convened.


    Kong Xiangmin looked at the people present and said indifferently, ¡°Starting from today, all urban construction projects will be publicly tendered. A special supervision and management team will be established, and I will be the team leader. Also, Zhida Construction Company will no longer be allowed to participate in the bidding, and any enterprises associated with Zhu Xuanwen will be given priority exclusion!¡±


    This announcement stunned everyone present!


    It was clear that Zhu Xuanwen had annoyed someone important.


    But he deserved it. Some present knew exactly what kind of man he was.


    Now it was settled!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Thank you to ¡°Immortal Bean¡± for the 10,000 reward, much appreciated!

 Chapter 487 - Chapter 487: Chapter 487: You Dog Thing!

    Chapter 487: Chapter 487: You Dog Thing!


    As a province with distinct seasons, Dongyang still has very low temperatures in winter.


    Watching the autumn chill turn sharper, and with half of November gone, the construction industry was also gradually reaching the time to cease operations.


    Zhu Xuanwen had been quite busy lately, after all, it was the end of the year, the time to settle accounts and collect funds. Otherwise, he couldn¡¯t possibly cover the material costs owed for the year-end, could he?


    During this period, Zhu Xuanwen frequently moved about, all to quickly get the projects audited and the money in his hands, so he could smoothly take his wife and kids to Sanya for a good new year.


    The process, just like the years before, was to be performed once more this year!


    However, during the auditing this year, he encountered too many problems!


    ¡°Mr. Zhu, our project in Hexi isn¡¯t up to standard, and the auditors won¡¯t pass it!¡± The manager from Hexi suddenly reported over the phone.


    Zhu Xuanwen frowned, ¡°Alright, I got it.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Zhu Xuanwen wondered, had he made a mistake somewhere?


    Just then, another call came through!


    ¡°Mr. Zhu, the cooperative project with China Railways has been withdrawn from their end, and they¡¯re demanding that we complete it according to standards promptly. Right now¡­ it¡¯s all substandard, they want us to redo it next year!¡±


    ¡°Mr. Zhu, we¡­¡±


    One phone call, and Zhu Xuanwen would think that he had made some mistake, overlooked something!


    But when a flurry of calls came one after another, Zhu Xuanwen broke out in a cold sweat!


    How could he not realize that he was in trouble?


    But¡­ after much thought, Zhu Xuanwen was still somewhat bewildered.


    Who had he managed to provoke, exactly?


    The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became!


    Whoever could fail all his audits¡­ who could that be?


    Who had such power?


    At this thought, Zhu Xuanwen¡¯s sweat couldn¡¯t be stopped!


    He was no fool and knew such things didn¡¯t happen without reason.


    Zhu Xuanwen forced himself to calm down, but how could he be calm?


    All those advance payments, and a bunch of debts to collect, if the higher-ups didn¡¯t pass the audit and release the funds, even being sold after death wouldn¡¯t cover it!


    It was at this moment, he picked up the phone and dialed his father-in-law¡¯s cell phone.


    ¡°Dad¡­ I¡¯ve run into a problem!¡± Zhu Xuanwen blurted out as soon as the call connected!


    There was a slight pause from the other end, ¡°Come over and talk.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Zhu Xuanwen quickly got up and hurriedly drove toward an old residential area.


    Upon entering the home, Zhu Xuanwen almost knelt down.


    ¡°Dad! You have to save me!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve run into a big issue!¡±


    Seeing Zhu Xuanwen in such a worthless state, the old man sighed, helplessly shaking his head, ¡°Sit down and talk slowly.¡±


    Only then did Zhu Xuanwen recount the recent events.


    Watching a grown man choke up and nearly cry, the old man really looked down on him!


    But, after all, it was his son-in-law.


    After listening, the old man picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed the number of a former subordinate:


    The person on the other end respected the elder, addressing him immediately upon answering the phone, ¡°Hello, old leader.¡±


    The old man grunted, ¡°Xiao Wu, I want to inquire about something. There¡¯s nothing special happening in the province today, is there?¡±


    The question was phrased tactfully, but after hearing it, the other party fell silent for a moment.


    Then, he said, ¡°Old leader, to tell you the truth, have your son-in-law shape up, keep a low profile, stop causing trouble, and also, make sure that Zhida Construction Company completes its tasks promptly. Otherwise, the authorities won¡¯t release a penny, don¡¯t let him play any tricks, it might be better if Zhida was dissolved. Otherwise, look elsewhere; in short, it¡¯s best not to stay in Dongyang.¡±


    The message was quite clear!


    The old man listened calmly, having weathered many storms; what didn¡¯t he understand?


    This subordinate was one of his more trusted contacts now. Hearing him say this, the old man nodded and didn¡¯t ask further.


    ¡°Hmm, okay, thank you, Xiao Wu.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, the old man looked at the despondent Zhu Xuanwen and said slowly, ¡°Did you hear that?¡±


    How could Zhu Xuanwen not have heard?


    He had absorbed every word!


    But it was precisely because of this that he was so distraught.


    At this moment, his father-in-law was his last lifeline!


    With this in mind, Zhu Xuanwen hastily said, ¡°Dad, you must save me, I¡­ I now¡­¡±


    The old man cut him off, saying, ¡°What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into recently?¡±


    Zhu Xuanwen was taken aback!


    Was there ever a shortage of people he had offended?


    How could one possibly keep count?


    Recently¡­


    There must have been seventeen or eighteen¡­


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure who it was!¡±


    The elder looked helplessly at his son-in-law and sighed, ¡°Tell me about it, and I¡¯ll help you analyze the situation.¡±


    Zhu Xuanwen nodded, ¡°There¡¯s a section chief from the urban construction department in the western part of the city, over 50 years old, he¡­¡±


    ¡°A manager from Chengtai Group¡­¡±


    ¡°A clerk from the Public Security Bureau¡­¡±


    ¡°A business manager from the Industrial and Commercial Bank¡­¡±


    ¡­


    As Zhu Xuanwen went on, the elder felt his heart clenching painfully, and he couldn¡¯t help but cover his chest while taking a deep breath, fearing that something might happen to him!


    This good-for-nothing dog, how did he manage to offend so many people recently?


    How could I have been so blind back then?


    Just as Zhu Xuanwen was about to mention the street cleaning lady, the elder stopped him!


    ¡°Talk about the key point!¡±


    Zhu Xuanwen thought hard, the key point¡­ 200 pounds? But suddenly, he remembered someone!


    He hurriedly said, ¡°Oh! There¡¯s a president of the Second Provincial Hospital, named Qin Xiaoyuan. I went there to get a cut on my hand bandaged, and¡­ he scolded me.¡±


    ¡°Later, I called a few people to cause him trouble at the Health Commission.¡±


    At this point, the elder¡¯s face changed!


    ¡°Why the hell did you go to the hospital causing trouble for no reason!¡±


    ¡°And you even went after a president? Do you have any idea how extensive a president¡¯s connections and network can be? On his own turf that he¡¯s been managing for a lifetime, what do you have to be acting wildly? Why don¡¯t you go make a scene at the Public Security Department then?¡±


    The elder grew more and more agitated as he spoke!


    This useless thing, truly getting too big for his boots, where can¡¯t you go and make a scene, you must go to a hospital!


    And it¡¯s even the hospital president!


    This is just¡­ making me mad.


    Thinking of this, the elder didn¡¯t want to say another word to him.


    ¡°Go apologize right now!¡±


    Zhu Xuanwen was stunned, ¡°Dad, is it really necessary?¡±


    The elder chuckled coldly, ¡°Not necessary? I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s very possible that this whole thing was done by that president, don¡¯t you doubt it.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuanwen stood up quickly, ready to leave.


    It was at this moment that the elder¡¯s phone started to ring.


    He opened WeChat to find that it was a video sent by the subordinate he had just called.


    Curious, the elder was astonished and immediately began to watch the video.


    The video was precisely one of Zhu Xuanwen showing off his hubris!


    After watching it, the elder was so angry that he almost threw the phone away!


    How impressive!


    How impressive!


    Truly remarkable!


    At that time, the other party sent a message, ¡°Old leader, the higher-ups have seen this video.¡±


    After hearing this, the elder shook with rage and said to Zhu Xuanwen, ¡°Get out! Get the hell out of my house and never come back!¡±


    Zhu Xuanwen was taken aback, could he leave at this moment?


    Of course, he couldn¡¯t, who else could save him besides his father-in-law?


    Think about his daughter, too!


    Zhu Xuanwen hurriedly said, ¡°Dad, calm down, don¡¯t be impulsive, this isn¡¯t the time to be angry; we need to think of a solution!¡±


    The elder looked at this shameless thing, feeling so enraged he was almost sick, ¡°Get out!¡±


    Zhu Xuanwen sighed and, unconcerned, sat down on the sofa. What in the world was he to do?


    The elder sighed deeply, feeling utterly helpless, and it was all his own fault!


    All these years, he had been too indulgent.

 Chapter 488 - Chapter 488: Chapter 488: My Man Is So Outstanding!

    Chapter 488: Chapter 488: My Man Is So Outstanding!


    These past few days, Qin Xiaoyuan felt clear-headed and fresh, not even bothered by the fact that Chen Cang got called ¡°Dean Chen¡± by his caring daughter!


    After all, as a successful dean!


    As a successful father-in-law!


    He should indeed have this kind of magnanimity.


    When he got up for breakfast in the morning, Ji Ruyun looked at Qin Xiaoyuan with a strange expression, ¡°Old Qin, what did you dream about last night?¡±


    Upon hearing that there was a story, Qin Yue immediately perked up her gossipy ears to listen attentively, losing interest in the porridge in her hands.


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan laughed, ¡°Was I talking in my sleep?¡±


    Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes, ¡°You laughed several times last night, scaring me awake a few times! If I hadn¡¯t known you for so many years, I would have thought you were hiding some illness from me!¡±


    Unable to help himself, Qin Xiaoyuan burst into hearty laughter, ¡°Is that so? Ah, I¡¯ve been in a good mood these past few days!¡±


    Indeed, ever since Chen Cang successfully performed surgery on Kong Xiangmin¡¯s son, Kong Jiahui, it seems like good things have been happening one after another.


    Even the possibility that by the end of this year or the beginning of next year, he might be promoted a half rank and take on some kind of position.


    This was revealed by the director of a certain Health Committee above!


    Thinking about this, Qin Xiaoyuan naturally felt even more that Chen Cang truly brought luck to his father-in-law.


    In fact, Old Qin¡¯s qualifications were sufficient, the only thing lacking was background and depth.


    After all, his achievements over the years, having come from a humble background and with the help of well-placed benefactors, were already remarkable.


    Unexpectedly, he had made the acquaintance of Leader Kong this year!


    Lately, Qin Xiaoyuan would stroll over to the orthopedics department every so often, feeling happier than Kong Jiahui¡¯s own father as he saw the boy getting better day by day.


    Then there was the matter with Zhu Xuanwen.


    During this period, Zhu Xuanwen had come to apologize to Qin Xiaoyuan, who didn¡¯t bother to see him at all.


    There¡¯s no difference in meeting such a person or not!


    And Zhu Xuanwen even went to the emergency department to apologize to Nurse Lin by kowtowing.


    This caused a small commotion in the emergency department.


    It frightened Nurse Lin so much she turned and ran.


    This kind of person is a typical bully who is tough on the weak but weak against the strong, and has no principles, no bottom line.


    When the old master learned about it, he was so angry that he ended up in the hospital.


    Zhu Xuanwen seemed to have indeed left Dongyang Province.


    After finishing breakfast, Qin Xiaoyuan hummed a tune as he headed to the administrative building, only to find someone waiting at the entrance as soon as he stepped off the elevator.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was immediately curious and startled, ¡°Secretary Tan, what brings you here so early today?¡±


    Tan Liguo looked aggrieved, ¡°Old Qin, you¡¯re not being fair!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback and, seeing the injustice in Tan Liguo¡¯s eyes, immediately said, ¡°Come in and talk.¡±


    Once inside, Tan Liguo quickly said, ¡°Old Qin, how have I treated you?¡±


    Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan was immediately stunned. Don¡¯t you have any idea how you have treated me?


    Haven¡¯t you set enough traps for me over the years?


    But¡­ lately, it seems not too bad.


    Qin Xiaoyuan felt that one shouldn¡¯t hit a man when he¡¯s down, and seeing Secretary Tan¡¯s aggrieved look, he said, ¡°Well, quite well!¡±


    Tan Liguo saw that Qin Xiaoyuan was just being polite!


    After all, they were old rivals, old partners, having worked together for around ten years, right?


    Frankly speaking, Tan Liguo understood Qin Xiaoyuan better than Ji Ruyun did!


    He immediately said, ¡°Old Qin, don¡¯t go against your heart. Today, I¡¯m here specifically to have a heart-to-heart talk with you!¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t always done well in the past, and I¡¯ve reflected on this for a long time¡­¡±


    Listening to Tan Liguo being so candid, Old Qin was somewhat bewildered.


    What¡¯s going on lately¡­


    Everything¡¯s going smoothly, which is a good thing, but Old Qin feels as though he¡¯s living in a dream!


    Watching the old rival making a major 180-degree turnaround in recent times, Qin Xiaoyuan still felt somewhat uncomfortable.


    After a long while¡­ Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, ¡°Ah¡­ haven¡¯t felt this comfortable in years, huh?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Lately, the emergency department at the Provincial Second Hospital had become increasingly busy, for no apparent reason!


    The number of tendon patients had grown, which naturally made Jiang Tao quite happy.


    After all, more surgeries meant more opportunities to operate.


    Moreover, the most crucial aspect was that many of those who came to the Provincial Second Hospital for tendon repairs were referred by influential and capable people, such as relatives of department heads, friends of hospital directors, connections of department chiefs, and so on¡­


    This left Jiang Tao very surprised; could it be¡­ there was a secret within the emergency department of Provincial Second Hospital unknown to others?


    Yet, after these people arrived, they all sought out Chen Cang, which made Jiang Tao quite curious.


    Why exactly?


    Could Chen Cang really have some exceptional skill?


    What was this extraordinary skill!


    However, Chen Cang didn¡¯t go for the surgeries he was arranged for; usually, it was An Yanjun who acted as his assistant, and Jiang Tao, he was just a record-writing scrub.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Tao naturally felt discontent internally, but due to his curiosity, he was still very keen to investigate further.


    There weren¡¯t many people in the office; everyone was busy, and Qin Yue was helping Chen Cang organize materials.


    The announcement for the National Natural Science Foundation application of 2020 had been issued.


    Submissions must be completed before March 20th.


    But before that, Chen Cang needed to finish his preliminary research and project topic; clearly, Chen Cang was a hands-off supervisor, whereas Qin Yue was a scurrying maid. However, as long as it was for Chen Cang, Qin Yue was happy to do anything and did it with gusto.


    Otherwise, they might not pass the expert review and verification stage later on.


    ¡°National Natural¡± stands for the National Natural Science Foundation project, which is reviewed by the Ministry of Science and Technology.


    As for projects, perhaps many people are unfamiliar with them. The most common type is hospital-level projects; they are funded internally, allowing you to conduct research, but the money is not much¡ªusually around thirty to fifty thousand yuan.


    Then there are city-level projects, provincial department-level projects, national-level projects, National Natural projects¡­ and so on.


    Being able to apply for a National Natural project is a representation of a hospital¡¯s research capability.


    Jiang Tao, finding the task of writing medical records incredibly dull, decided to strike up a conversation with Qin Yue. She seemed to have softened her attitude towards him recently, which made Jiang Tao wonder, what exactly did he say wrong initially?


    Unable to resist, Jiang Tao asked, ¡°Doctor Qin, what surgery is Doctor Chen best at?¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang was mentioned, Qin Yue instantly perked up, ¡°Ah? Did you mention Chen Cang?¡±


    Jiang Tao nodded, ¡°Yes, I see him performing all sorts of surgeries, what exactly is Doctor Chen an expert in?¡±


    Qin Yue thought it was obvious.


    Chen Cang was number one in the world!


    He could do everything!


    ¡°Chen Cang is very good at everything he does!¡±


    With that one sentence, Jiang Tao was taken aback, ¡°What I mean is, does Chen Cang have any specialty? Do you know?¡±


    Hearing Jiang Tao¡¯s words, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t stop muttering to herself: Chen Cang¡¯s specialty¡­ specialty.


    Thinking of it¡­ Qin Yue suddenly lit up.


    Of course, I know now!


    But¡­ can this be shared?


    Of course not!


    What if others discover it after it¡¯s mentioned?


    As she thought about it, Qin Yue fell silent, this definitely shouldn¡¯t be said carelessly.


    Deciding to ignore Jiang Tao altogether, she thought,


    My man is so outstanding; he cannot be coveted by others, not even by men!

 Chapter 489 - Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Are You Sure This Is Department Confidential?

    Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Are You Sure This Is Department Confidential?


    After being ignored by Qin Yue once again, Jiang Tao was somewhat baffled!


    What¡­ what on earth was going on?


    Did I say something wrong again?


    Jiang Tao sighed helplessly!


    Alas, compared to surgery, he really wasn¡¯t good at dealing with women.


    However, just at that moment, his phone suddenly rang.


    Jiang Tao hurriedly picked up the phone, and seeing it was his teacher, he immediately felt much relieved!


    The teacher still thought of me!


    After picking up the call, he instantly heard a familiar voice: ¡°Hello? Xiao Jiang, I have something to ask you!¡±


    Jiang Tao saw his teacher was in such a hurry and quickly said, ¡°Teacher, what is it?¡±


    Gu Hongmei said, ¡°Where did you get that tendon guide you posted a few days ago!¡±


    Jiang Tao was stunned for a moment: ¡°What tendon guide?¡±


    Gu Hongmei: ¡°The one you sent on WeChat, saying it was a rehabilitation guide for tendons made by the doctors in your department, was it really made by your department?¡±


    It was only then that Jiang Tao remembered; he had forgotten about this!


    He hadn¡¯t expected the teacher would ask about this.


    ¡°Yes, teacher, it was indeed made by a doctor in our department.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Gu Hongmei got a bit excited, ¡°Xiao Jiang, let me tell you, after you sent it over last time, I had the patients who just finished surgery try it, and guess what? The effect was significant!¡±


    ¡°It had a better effect than the tendon rehabilitation guide we used at our hospital, noticeably shortening the recovery period! It improved rehabilitation effectiveness, and it seems to even significantly reduce adhesion sequelae!¡±


    ¡°But¡­ I feel this guide isn¡¯t complete!¡±


    ¡°Could you introduce that doctor to me?¡±


    Gu Hongmei¡¯s words had already dumbfounded Jiang Tao!


    Really?


    Why do I feel like the teacher is teasing me?


    Gu Hongmei said, ¡°Xiao Jiang, you have a good eye, and this attitude of being willing to share is good, but¡­ won¡¯t your workplace mind that you¡¯re sharing such confidential material?¡±


    Mind, why would they mind?


    Share, what did I share?


    Was I supposed to share?


    Jiang Tao swallowed nervously!


    Was this really my intention?


    And¡­ with stacks of tendon rehabilitation guides on the emergency nurse¡¯s station, were they really departmental secret material?


    Could it be that the Second Provincial Hospital was so casual as to place what the teacher saw as precious rehabilitation guides at the nurse¡¯s station in the emergency hall, as if they were mere brochures?


    Thinking of this, Jiang Tao felt somewhat surreal ¡ª was the teacher misunderstanding something about this tendon rehabilitation guide?


    ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s all right, our hospital¡¯s rehabilitation guide isn¡¯t confidential.¡±


    Jiang Tao cautiously said this without mentioning that in actual fact, his hospital treated those tendon rehabilitation guides like brochures, haphazardly lying on the nurses¡¯ station, free for anyone to take.


    He worried that if he were to say this, the teacher might not be able to cope with it all at once¡­


    But unexpectedly¡­


    After hearing what Jiang Tao said, Gu Hongmei paused for a little while, then, with a sigh, spoke with some emotion, ¡°The person who made this is truly great, and they¡¯re not seeking any rewards. This kind of tendon rehabilitation guide could definitely be classified as departmental secret material, yet they chose to make it public!¡±


    ¡°This is precisely the professional quality a true clinical researcher should have!¡±


    In Gu Hongmei¡¯s words, there was admiration!


    Mixed with her admiration was a feeling akin to inferiority!


    This left Jiang Tao not knowing what to say.


    This Chen Cang¡­ is he really as amazing as you¡¯re saying?


    Right then, Jiang Tao was somewhat lost.


    Gu Hongmei suddenly said, ¡°Xiao Jiang, if it¡¯s convenient, could you give me Dr. Chen¡¯s phone number? I¡¯d like to have a detailed discussion with him about this matter when I have time.¡±


    Jiang Tao was momentarily stunned with embarrassment, ¡°Teacher, please wait, I don¡¯t have his number right now. I¡¯ll talk to him when I get back and ask him to give you a call.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Gu Hongmei nodded, that would be fine.


    However, she didn¡¯t forget to caution a few words:


    ¡°Xiao Jiang, you have talent, but you are a bit arrogant. Remember, you must be humble and devout! When facing knowledge and scholarship, you must maintain a heart of humility.¡±


    ¡°And honestly, you are lucky to be able to work in such a hospital and department. I used to think how strong could the emergency orthopedics department at the second provincial hospital be, but now it seems I was wrong!¡±


    Jiang Tao sighed, Teacher, you are not wrong, our department¡¯s orthopedics is really poor, we have only two and a half orthopedic surgeons in total.


    Director An counts as one, I count as one, and Dr. Chen¡­ is quite versatile, so let¡¯s say half an orthopedic surgeon, since he does everything!


    ¡°You must learn well from that Dr. Chen! If he can create such a tendon rehabilitation guide, it shows that his understanding of tendons is far above both you and me. Study hard!¡±


    After giving her instructions, Gu Hongmei hung up the phone.


    Jiang Tao was left standing there, utterly bewildered.


    Could it be¡­ that I¡¯m just too low-level and haven¡¯t realized how formidable Dr. Chen really is?


    At this thought, Jiang Tao went silent.


    Even if he didn¡¯t believe what others said, he couldn¡¯t not believe his own mentor.


    Following his mentor from his master¡¯s to his doctorate, his understanding of orthopedics over the past six years came entirely from her.


    Jiang Tao couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Perhaps¡­ maybe I am indeed a bit arrogant.


    Underestimating everyone in the world.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Just then, An Yanjun hurried into the office and said to Jiang Tao, ¡°Xiao Jiang, I have an assignment for you.¡±


    Jiang Tao quickly stood up, ¡°Director An, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    An Yanjun spoke hastily, ¡°I¡¯ve just received news from Nantong. Professor Tang is coming to the second provincial hospital, his flight is at twelve o¡¯clock tomorrow night. You go and pick up Professor Tang!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao was momentarily startled, ¡°Director An¡­ I don¡¯t know which Professor Tang you¡¯re talking about!¡±


    An Yanjun also slapped his forehead!


    Right, how could he have overlooked this detail?


    Too excited, too excited!


    But, which doctor in the field of hand surgery isn¡¯t familiar with the name Professor Tang!


    The founder of the Tang method, the creator of the world-renowned ¡°Tang¡¯s Zones¡±¡­ A giant in China¡¯s field of hand surgery, a reviewer for the European Journal of Hand Surgery¡­


    In short, he¡¯s endowed with many accolades and honors.


    When it comes to hand surgery, one has to mention Professor Tang.


    An Yanjun quickly said with a smile, ¡°Which other Professor Tang could it be? It¡¯s the Professor Tang of the Tang suture method! In hand surgery, we only have that one Professor Tang!¡±


    Hearing An Yanjun¡¯s words, Jiang Tao instantly stood up, eyes widened in disbelief, and looked at An Yanjun, ¡°Director An¡­ Is it that Professor Tang?¡±


    An Yanjun nodded with a smile, ¡°Of course!¡±


    After getting confirmation from An Yanjun, Jiang Tao became excited.


    Professor Tang, his idol!


    Thinking that he was going to pick up his idol in person, Jiang Tao suddenly felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.


    An Yanjun looked at Jiang Tao and asked with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re free tomorrow night, right?¡±


    Jiang Tao nodded, ¡°Yes! I¡¯m free!¡±


    ¡°But¡­ Director An, why don¡¯t you go to meet him?¡±


    An Yanjun shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m swamped with surgeries tomorrow; they¡¯re all important clients who want Chen to do the surgery personally, so I have to help out!¡±


    Jiang Tao nodded excitedly, ¡°Director, don¡¯t worry, leave it to me!¡±


    An Yanjun hummed in response, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll send you the details later, make sure to check them!¡±

 Chapter 490 - Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Teacher, I Feel Like Ive Been Brainwashed!

    Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Teacher, I Feel Like I¡¯ve Been Brainwashed!


    Tang Jinbo served as the editor-in-chief of the European Journal of Hand Surgery, which marked the first time in history that the journal had appointed someone from outside Europe to hold this position!


    As one of the two most influential international hand surgery journals included in the SCI Journal list, the European Journal of Hand Surgery is one of the earliest journals in the history of hand surgery in the world.


    The journal¡¯s review process is known for its extreme rigor!


    Only after passing through several layers of editorial scrutiny can an article be approved, and particularly controversial ones may require the personal attention of the editor-in-chief or a targeted discussion by experts in the relevant field.


    The goal of the journal is also to strive for the development of hand surgery worldwide!


    It was at that time that Chen Cang published his review: ¡°Choosing the Direction and Trends of Tang Method Development by Analyzing the Pros and Cons of the Tang Suture Method.¡±


    This article was simple, but it was quite special!


    Frankly, this article was intended to catch the attention of Professor Tang!


    The reason Chen Cang didn¡¯t come out with the Chen Method, or summarize a myriad of suturing methods all at once, was strategic.


    For one thing, it probably wouldn¡¯t have even passed the first review by the European Journal of Hand Surgery, because others might not acknowledge it yet!


    Secondly, it lacked a firm backing of effective data.


    Rapid ascension in the academic world is extremely rare, with most advancements being steady and solid.


    Chen Cang¡¯s article was aimed at drawing Professor Tang¡¯s attention.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After passing the third review by the European Journal of Hand Surgery, the reviewing panel was somewhat undecided.


    To approve or not to approve!


    Truth be told, they were also using and researching the Tang Suture Method.


    However, they found that the understanding of the Tang Method in the article was far superior to their own.


    This was why it was able to smoothly pass three reviews within just over a month.


    Just as the group of editors was worrying, the deputy editor-in-chief, Hillbo, suddenly said:


    ¡°Actually, why not leave this article for Professor Tang to decide? Moreover¡­ I noticed that the email comes from China, and I believe the professor will be very interested!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone agreed it was a viable plan, and sent the email to Professor Tang¡¯s mailbox that day.


    The next day, as soon as Tang Jinbo finished his rounds and returned to his office, he received a call from overseas.


    On closer inspection, it was Hillbo, the deputy editor-in-chief of the European Journal of Hand Surgery.


    ¡°Hello, Hillbo, how come you¡¯re up so early?¡± Tang Jinbo looked at the time, smiled, and asked.


    Hillbo said with a smile, ¡°Professor Tang, take a look at the email I sent you. It¡¯s a very interesting review that I think you¡¯ll find quite intriguing. Oh, and the article is from China.¡±


    After listening, Tang Jinbo was also somewhat curious and immediately said, ¡°Okay, Hillbo, thanks, but I think you should get some more sleep.¡±


    Hillbo chuckled and hung up the phone.


    Tang Jinbo opened the email, and the title of the review immediately caught his attention.


    Sure, there might be many articles with such titles, but to pass through three rounds of review at the European Journal of Hand Surgery and end up in his hands? Wasn¡¯t this the first?


    Thinking this, Tang Jinbo turned to his student and said, ¡°Li Yu, help me print this article out.¡±


    Li Yu nodded. His teacher¡¯s eyes were a bit tired after all these years, and he wasn¡¯t too comfortable looking at his phone for too long.


    Therefore, articles were generally printed out.


    As Li Yu was printing, he immediately saw the title of the article.


    ¡°Choosing the Direction and Trends of Tang Method Development by Analyzing the Pros and Cons of the Tang Suture Method¡±


    This¡­ was quite audacious!


    Indeed, the title was audacious, analyzing the pros and cons of the Tang Suture Method and selecting the direction and trends for the development of the Tang Method!


    This person was really quite something¡­


    As a devoted fan and successor to the Tang Method, Li Yu, who earnestly studied the Tang Suture Method, did not think anyone knew the procedure better than his teacher!


    After all, Professor Tang was its founder and the method was named after him!


    As the article was printing, Li Yu curiously glanced at it.


    Just¡­ that one glance.


    Li Yu couldn¡¯t help but be drawn in.


    What was written¡­ seemed¡­ to truly reach into Li Yu¡¯s heart.


    Indeed!


    The author seemed to have a deep understanding of the Tang suture method!


    And, what¡¯s more, was far beyond himself.


    So, while the article was printing, Li Yu unwittingly read it to the end.


    Meanwhile, Tang Jinbo, who was waiting on the side, saw Li Yu engrossed and was slightly startled, couldn¡¯t help but smile without interrupting, but¡­ his curiosity was piqued.


    Tang Jinbo was a quintessential Southerner, refined, with gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a rather approachable aura.


    Time slipped by unnoticed for ten minutes, and Li Yu still hadn¡¯t finished reading. Suddenly realizing this, he smiled awkwardly at Professor Tang, somewhat embarrassed, ¡°Ahem, teacher, I¡¯m sorry¡­¡±


    Tang Jinbo smiled, ¡°You read first, we¡¯ll talk after you finish.¡±


    Li Yu nodded and continued reading.


    The article was entirely in English, so it was somewhat tiring to read.


    Even for a Ph.D., reading such an all-English SCI professional journal required a high proficiency.


    Luckily, thanks to Li He¡¯s long-term mentorship by Professor Tang, being constantly exposed to academic papers had given him a solid reading foundation.


    Another twenty minutes passed, and Li Yu finally finished reading!


    After finishing, he felt¡­ as if he had been brainwashed¡­


    Yes!


    After he finished reading, he found himself surprisingly in agreement with the other party¡¯s views, even realizing that many of their insights were ones he had significantly misunderstood.


    This shocked Li Yu!


    Now, his thoughts were completely different from before he started reading!


    Perhaps¡­


    Perhaps they really did have extensive research on the Tang suture method!


    Tang Jinbo, observing his student¡¯s reaction, also grew curious. He picked up the printed article, didn¡¯t read it, but instead looked at Li Yu:


    ¡°What are your thoughts after reading it?¡± he asked.


    Li Yu took a deep breath, looked at his teacher, and spoke the truth, ¡°Teacher¡­ I feel that their understanding of the Tang suture method is far above mine, and, to be honest, I feel convinced by them.¡±


    After hearing this, Tang Jinbo couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°This article has been through three rounds of review by the expert panel of the ¡®European Journal of Hand Surgery¡¯, and it came to me only because they couldn¡¯t make a decision. It definitely has merit!¡±


    After saying this, he picked it up and started to read!


    A minute later, after reading the abstract, his expression became serious.


    Five minutes later, after reading the first section, he took a deep breath.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Half an hour later, he had read it twice, put down the magazine, took a deep breath, and said to Li Yu,


    ¡°Book the flight, we¡¯re going to Anyang City in Dongyang Province on Saturday!¡±


    Li Yu was immediately stunned!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Six updates today, an added chapter for the new Alliance Hierarch ¡°Hell Cat¡±, and at the same time, thank you all for your support.


    The seasoned author is working hard to update, striving to write well!

 Chapter 491 - Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Crossing the Tribulati

    Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Crossing the Tribulation Period Boss


    Li Yu looked at his teacher in disbelief, as this was the first time he saw the teacher in such a ¡°distraught¡± state!


    That¡¯s right!


    In his mind, the teacher had always been the type with a calm temperament, whose refined eyes seemed to reflect a confidence that everything was under control.


    But at this moment, the teacher was clearly struggling to maintain composure.


    The following period was spent in arranging contacts with Chen Cang and the provincial Second Hospital, booking flight tickets, and so on.


    On the plane, the teacher had lost count of how many times he had read this article, the printout now bearing traces of sweat stains.


    Each time Tang Jinbo read it, he had a different thought!


    The more he read, the more he marveled at the incredible strength of the author.


    Professor Tang Jinbo had already conjured up an image of an expert in his mind, probably a remarkable clinical director, perhaps with less hair than himself?


    It must be said that this article not only captured Tang Jinbo¡¯s attention but even took hold of his heart.


    As the founder and researcher of the Tang method, Tang Jinbo had never ceased to improve the Tang suturing technique over the years. The views, ideas, and future development directions proposed in Chen Cang¡¯s article greatly impressed him, even resonating with his own thoughts.


    Even the points of divergence were ones to be seriously considered and addressed.


    Suddenly, Tang Jinbo leaned back in his seat, looking out the window, sensing this might be a great opportunity for himself.


    He was now eagerly anticipating his meeting with a professor named Chen Cang!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Upon learning that Tang Jinbo was coming, the provincial Second Hospital immediately organized a welcoming ceremony, especially the Department of Emergency Medicine.


    This was probably the happiest occasion for Li Baoshan, head of the Department of Emergency Medicine, in the hospital.


    To be able to draw someone in indicated that your capabilities had been acknowledged by others, and they were looking forward to cooperating with you, and so on.


    And it was a specialist of Tang Jinbo¡¯s stature!


    Therefore, for this occasion, Li Baoshan was very generous; he allocated special funds to ensure this event went well, causing head nurse Tian Xianglan to worry for a while, but soon the hospital management expressed their full support. This allowed the head nurse to breathe a sigh of relief¡ªthe department¡¯s money was spared, and they could spend freely and extravagantly¡­


    Jiang Tao picked up Professor Tang and his colleague at the hotel. Along the way, Jiang Tao talked non-stop, expressing his admiration for Professor Tang.


    Professor Tang was very warm and down-to-earth and even started discussing academic knowledge with Jiang Tao after arriving at the hotel.


    Suddenly, Tang Jinbo asked, ¡°Well, Dr. Jiang, hasn¡¯t Professor Chen Cang come?¡±


    Jiang Tao smiled, ¡°Professor Tang, actually Dr. Chen wanted to come in person, but there are just too many patients during this period, and he is currently in surgery, so it was really impossible!¡±


    Tang Jinbo nodded, smiled, and was not the least bit angry¡ªinstead, he was somewhat pleased.


    That confirmed Professor Chen Cang was a good doctor!


    After a brief rest at the hotel, Li Baoshan, Qin Xiaoyuan, Li Jianwei, and others also arrived.


    Considering Professor Tang¡¯s high status, it was normal for Qin Xiaoyuan, the dean of the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, to be there.


    Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°Dean Tang, it must have been a tiring journey. I¡¯ve booked a restaurant; shall we go now?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tang Jinbo quickly declined, ¡°Dean Qin, there¡¯s no need for such courtesy. We¡¯ve already eaten on the plane. By the way¡­ Is Professor Chen Cang in surgery now? Would it be possible for us to go see?¡±


    Tang Jinbo had come specifically to find Chen Cang, not for a meeting or sightseeing. Now that he was here, his first thought was to meet Chen Cang.


    After everyone heard this, they were momentarily stunned, then smiled amiably.


    This Professor Tang was truly a scholarly dean.


    Qin Xiaoyuan did not insist on the dinner invitation anymore and instead said with a smile, ¡°Then¡­ let me take you all to our hospital!¡±


    ¡°`


    Tang Jinbo felt a surge of joy upon hearing that and said, ¡°Then nothing could be better. Thank you, Director Qin!¡±


    During the conversation, the group arrived at the emergency department of the second provincial hospital.


    Upon entering, Tang Jinbo was taken aback for a moment, ¡°Is this¡­ our hand surgery department?¡±


    At this remark, everyone¡¯s faces flushed with embarrassment!


    Qin Xiaoyuan gave an awkward smile, while Tan Liguo was utterly ashamed.


    This was¡­ quite an embarrassment!


    It was then that Li Baoshan candidly revealed, ¡°Our hospital has historically been stronger in internal medicine, while the development in surgery is weak, and hand surgery even more so due to a lack of corresponding talent. However, we see a lot of hand surgery patients clinically, so Director Qin decided to establish a hand surgery team within the emergency department.¡±


    ¡°Not to be laughed at by Professor Tang, but currently our hand surgery has only three doctors. One is Director An Yanjun, one Doctor Chen Cang, and the newly arrived Doctor Jiang Tao, who has a Ph.D.¡±


    Tang Jinbo paused for a moment upon hearing this!


    He took a deep breath, ¡°Ah¡­ I feel quite inferior. That Professor Chen Cang can still summarize clinical experiences and have such insights into tendon suturing under such conditions is truly remarkable!¡±


    Li Yu deeply agreed!


    The crowd was stunned for a moment; people with culture and learning really are different. What seemed like a bad situation¡­ somehow seemed to convey a sense of high principles and integrity when put into their words.


    Without lingering for too long, the group made their way to the operating room.


    At that time, Chen Cang and An Yanjun had just finished a surgery. Hearing that Professor Tang had come to the OR, they quickly got up to greet him.


    Even with mental preparation, Tang Jinbo and Li Yu found it somewhat difficult to accept when they saw Chen Cang!


    Was this the same Professor Chen Cang?


    Terrifyingly young!


    Li Yu estimated that he was even younger than himself.


    Tang Jinbo quickly overcame his shock and stepped forward to shake hands, ¡°Professor Chen, good to meet you!¡±


    Chen Cang was momentarily startled, ¡°Professor Tang, you¡¯re too polite. Just call me Chen.¡±


    Tang Jinbo shook his head. He simply couldn¡¯t bring himself to call him ¡°Chen,¡± not with the scholarly accomplishments the man had; Tang Jinbo held great respect for him!


    The two didn¡¯t bother with much small talk and dove straight into discussing academic matters.


    Tang Jinbo, who had a bellyful of thoughts, finally found a vent!


    Chen Cang, who had been fishing for a month, finally caught Tang Jinbo.


    Their exchange was lively and in full swing!


    Meanwhile, the department heads and director from afar could only watch with wide eyes, helplessly clueless.


    However, Jiang Tao and Li Yu listened with great interest.


    It was akin to an exchange of profound insights.


    Two grandmasters in the transcension phase were exchanging insights, while a few Qi-training phase cultivators stood by gaining enlightenment.


    There were profound truths to grasp everywhere.


    And at that moment, as Jiang Tao listened to their conversation, he finally understood what Chen Cang meant during the rounds when he had expressed his doubts, ¡°The Tang method has some deficiencies and isn¡¯t suitable for this type of suture.¡±


    Now he finally realized, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t boasting!


    The man was pointing out the flaws right in front of Tang Jinbo, mentioning, ¡°This isn¡¯t good, that¡¯s not right, this needs some changes¡­¡±


    And Tang Jinbo agreed, but then¡­ the atmosphere quickly changed.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 492 - Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Ascension Phase?

    Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Ascension Phase?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t tell if he¡¯d gotten addicted to talking or if Tang Jinbo had become inflamed.


    Or perhaps it was the heated atmosphere between the two, or the possibility that Chen Cang¡¯s constant criticism of the inadequacies of Tang¡¯s suture method had angered Professor Tang.


    Regardless, the mood quickly shifted from a pleasant exchange to a deep-seated enmity¡­ and now it had escalated to a tense standoff!


    Those beside them watched with trepidation, fearing that the two might come to blows.


    If a fight did break out, this¡­ would truly become a colossal joke!


    Closest to the action, Jiang Tao and Li Yu exchanged glances, nodding to each other!


    If a fight did start, would they join in the fight?


    Or pull their own people away?


    This was now the concern that weighed on them both!


    Jiang Tao was now genuinely impressed with Chen Cang; the guy was truly stubborn, pounding his fist on the table and pointing at his nose as he told Professor Tang what was wrong with his method.


    Professor Tang was also furious, his demeanor shifting from polite to rolling up his sleeves and engaging in debate!


    Tang Jinbo¡¯s face turned livid as he watched Tang¡¯s suture method being criticized by Chen Cang as flawed in every aspect, which obviously upset him.


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, almost thinking that Professor Tang was cheating!


    Because the guy really had a profound understanding of tendon suturing and hand surgery.


    This academic discussion was so intense it could spark real fire!


    No matter the subject of discussion!


    That¡¯s also why ancient Chinese literati who wrote poetry often enjoyed having a bit of wine and a sword handy; it was definitely to embolden themselves or to restrain one another, urging everyone to stay calm.


    As the debate grew more intense, a nurse suddenly came in and said, ¡°Dr. Chen, the patient has arrived. When will the surgery be?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang replied, ¡°Let¡¯s go, now.¡±


    Tang Jinbo immediately blocked his path, ¡°Professor Chen, you clearly have some misunderstandings about Tang¡¯s suturing method. I¡¯ll do the suturing while you provide guidance!¡±


    Both knew that the debate was going nowhere; it was time for practical application!


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Please, Professor Tang.¡±


    Tang Jinbo nodded in thanks.


    No matter the subject of their debate or argument, it was all about academics and not personal.


    Both were very clear on that.


    Behind them, Li Yu and Jiang Tao caught each other¡¯s eyes and quickly moved forward.


    At this moment, Jiang Tao, despite his admiration for Professor Tang, knew which side he was on. If a fight broke out, he would certainly hit Li Yu first!


    Yes, exactly!


    But he couldn¡¯t let Li Yu discover his thoughts.


    Li Yu imperceptibly took a small step away from Jiang Tao.


    He knew that this surgery was to be their showdown.


    Inside the operating room, Chen Cang introduced the patient to, ¡°This is Professor Tang Jinbo from the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, a top expert in the field of tendon suturing in the country, ¡­¡±


    After the introduction, the patient¡¯s eyes lit up. Following his illness, his child had searched on Baidu and knew of Professor Tang.


    To think that Professor Tang Jinbo had been personally invited over, the patient gratefully said, ¡°Thank you, Dr. Chen, and thank you too, Professor Tang.¡±


    Alright, the surgery preparation begins!


    At this moment, Jiang Tao, who was once a staunch supporter of Tang¡¯s suture method, suddenly had a change of heart.


    He now hoped Chen Cang would win.


    He didn¡¯t know why!


    Yet that¡¯s just how it is; he could criticize himself, but only he could do so.


    Tang Jinbo glanced at Li Yu, who promptly understood and got ready to assist.


    Chen Cang stood by and said to the nurse, Yuan Yuan, ¡°Turn on the camera.¡±


    The surgery began!


    As luck would have it, the patient had an injury to the flexor tendon, which was perfectly suitable for Tang¡¯s suture method and fell within Tang¡¯s zone of expertise.


    This was supposedly the area where Tang¡¯s suture method excelled.


    The surgery began, and Chen Cang remained silent. This wasn¡¯t a time for discussion, but he committed every detail to memory.


    After it was over, he would have a good theoretical discussion with Professor Tang!


    The surgery went smoothly!


    This was expected by all.


    If Professor Tang couldn¡¯t master the Tang method, then who could?


    Jiang Tao began to worry, glancing at Chen Cang and thinking, ¡°What are our chances of winning? I just hope we don¡¯t lose too badly!¡±


    Meanwhile, An Yanjun was the picture of calm. To be honest, after spending time with Chen Cang, he had his eyes opened.


    The surgery ended quickly, and with some final instructions, the patient was sent off.


    Tang Jinbo smiled and looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Professor Chen, this is the Tang method I¡¯ve improved. How does it compare to the original now?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded sincerely, ¡°Hmm, it really has improved a lot!¡±


    However, before he could finish his thoughts, another sentence came out, ¡°But, the flaw I pointed out is still there. To improve the Tang method, it must be combined with the Bunnell suture technique, as well as the kessler suture¡­¡±


    Tang Jinbo furrowed his brows, having not yet picked up the scalpel to rebut, when a nurse said, ¡°Doctor Chen, there is another surgery waiting.¡±


    Tang Jinbo looked at Chen Cang without saying a word.


    The implication was clear: If you¡¯re capable, then you do it!


    Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth!


    After preparing, Chen Cang approached the patient, ready to start the surgery, with An Yanjun already prepared to assist.


    Jiang Tao, however, was somewhat nervous. This was his first time watching Chen Cang perform surgery and he was unsure of what to expect!


    Was Doctor Chen really as impressive as the teacher said?


    But¡­ considering his evenly matched theoretical debate with Professor Tang, he should be competent, right?


    Jiang Tao was in a dilemma now.


    Regarding Chen Cang, should he be a fan? Or should he criticize him?


    However¡­ the odds of becoming a fan were a bit higher, right?


    After all¡­ there were no reasons to criticize!


    The arrogant Jiang Tao at this moment held no disdain for Chen Cang.


    Apart from everything else!


    Doctor Chen had the guts to slam the table, glare at Professor Tang, and point at his nose, saying what nonsense he stitched!


    Would his own teacher dare to do that?


    With that thought, he started watching the surgery attentively.


    Soon, Chen Cang was ready and began suturing as soon as he received the suture thread.


    But¡­ as soon as Chen Cang began, Tang Jinbo¡¯s eyes lit up; it was the Tang suture method.


    Unable to contain himself, Li Yu instinctively thought, would he still need to use the Tang suture method?


    After talking so much, they still have to use¡­


    Before he could finish his thought, Chen Cang¡¯s technique suddenly changed. It was a kind of six-bundle suture completely different from the Tang method, using a four-bundle technique. But the angle of his sutures, the needle path¡­ completely different!


    What method was this, exactly?


    Tang Jinbo widened his eyes; he knew this was not the TANG suture method, nor was it any suture method he recognized.


    Nevertheless¡­ it had a trace of every technique.


    Moreover, when he looked at the suture results, he was astonished to find that Chen Cang¡¯s suture method was simply a stroke of genius.


    The ingenious method of suturing tendons without damaging the surrounding tissue and minimizing the potential for adhesion was evident; the clear advantage of the four-bundle suture over the six-bundle suture soon became apparent¡­


    The more he watched, the more astounded Tang Jinbo became!


    The more he watched, the more he trembled!


    What¡­ what kind of suture method was this, why had he never heard of it, but¡­ perhaps this was the future direction of the Tang suture method?


    The longer he watched, the more short of breath Tang Jinbo became.


    Meanwhile, Li Yu was completely taken aback.


    Laymen watch the excitement; professionals watch the doorway. Although he was not an expert, he had followed Professor Tang here and there and seen various methods, had he not?


    He had an inkling that Chen Cang¡¯s suture technique might indeed be better than¡­ the Tang suture method?


    The Tang suture method had an obvious routine, whereas this technique felt void of any routine to him.


    Jiang Tao stood by, his mouth agape and at a loss for words!


    With a face full of disbelief, he watched this suturing method for a long time, unable to come to terms with it.


    His teacher was Gu Hongmei, the deputy director of the hand surgery department at Jishuitan Hospital, and the director was Chang Honglei!


    Chang Honglei was also a big name in the field. Her philosophy was to seek the strengths of all schools and to understand every suture method thoroughly. Consequently, influenced by this mentality from an early age, Jiang Tao naturally embraced the philosophy deeply.


    At this moment, as he watched Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, he suddenly realized!


    This Chen Cang, was even more incredible than he had imagined!


    This could be someone who had integrated the strengths of various approaches and refined something unique to himself.


    At that moment, Jiang Tao felt his heart twitching, not from ventricular fibrillation, but from palpitations! It was the sensation of tachycardia.


    Too strong!


    If in the field of tendon suturing, Professor Tang was a powerhouse at the transcendence phase, then Professor Chen was nearing ascension, wasn¡¯t he?


    ¡­

    ps: Six more updates, asking for support!

 Chapter 493 - Chapter 493: Chapter 493: How to Translate All Swords Return to Ancestry?

    Chapter 493: Chapter 493: How to Translate ¡®All Swords Return to Ancestry¡¯?


    Without comparison, there is no harm.


    After the surgery, the look in their eyes when they saw each other was already filled with wariness!


    Such wars during the tribulation and ascension phase could easily hurt the innocent.


    Such debates also damage the aggressor heavily, even if at a cost to oneself.


    So¡­


    The two great gods, who had just been at daggers drawn, and the two ¡°followers¡±¡­


    Now sat quietly in the office, looking at each other.


    Calm and composed.


    Finally, Chen Cang broke the silence, ¡°Professor Tang, to be honest, I indeed have some misunderstandings about your Tang suturing technique. After your improvements, it truly has made great progress.¡±


    Tang Jinbo sighed, ¡°Professor Chen, there¡¯s no need for such formalities between us. We¡¯re all in this field, and we know the score very well. As you said, sitting down together is to have a productive discussion for the advancement of tendon repair in hand surgery!¡±


    Seeing the two ¡°reconcile,¡± Qin Xiaoyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the other directors and secretaries also felt more at ease.


    After all, if it really came to blows¡­ whom would they support?


    Li Yu, watching Jiang Tao, smiled humbly, discreetly pocketing his pen.


    Jiang Tao also nodded amiably, placing his reflex hammer back in his lab coat pocket, and letting go of the stethoscope he had been holding.


    Chen Cang said to Yuan Yuan, ¡°Yuan Yuan, bring up the surgical video, I¡¯d like to discuss it with Professor Tang.¡±


    Tang Jinbo nodded, clearly sharing the sentiment.


    This was their mutual goal, to promote one another and share insights.


    Perfection is but a false notion, a relatively perfect operation under the current circumstances.


    However, it does not represent the absolute best.


    All perfection is subject to continuous improvement, and Chen Cang¡¯s tendon suturing is deemed perfect because it incorporates the strengths of many, transforming the advantages of others into his own technique.


    But, with Professor Tang¡¯s research, the Tang suturing method has improved considerably; therefore, it means there are many new advantages to integrate, necessitating ongoing refinement.


    Watching the surgical video on TV, Chen Cang began to comment.


    Professor Tang watched and then explained the issues Chen Cang brought up.


    At first, the atmosphere was quite amicable.


    However¡­


    The ¡°ask and answer¡± mode of interaction swiftly turned into ¡°counter question and answer¡±!


    Chen Cang started to argue with Professor Tang over the details of the procedure shown on the TV.


    At first, Professor Tang was firm, but later stood up and walked over to the TV, gesticulating at the screen.


    Um!


    Both wanted to convince the other.


    Yet, neither was the type to be easily persuaded.


    Even with auxiliary training, it cannot be denied that with tens of thousands of practice iterations, Chen Cang had sufficient understanding and confidence in tendon suturing.


    And Professor Tang was even more so!


    The TV was continuously at risk of damage, Yuan Yuan was concerned, and also helplessly wondered, why did it always have to be her shift when the TV was in trouble?


    She looked plaintively at Director Qin Xiaoyuan.


    Qin Xiaoyuan blinked, then nodded firmly: Kid, it¡¯s alright! I¡¯ll cover it if there¡¯s an issue.


    Their debate at this moment seemed to have no clear winner or loser.


    But indisputably, this ¡°battle of gods¡± was an invaluable opportunity for Li Yu, Jiang Tao, and An Yanjun, equivalent to an in-depth analysis of the Tang suturing technique.


    Every detail was argued over by both parties until they chose a more appropriate method, every operation was broken down and reanalyzed¡­


    In this way, the first surgery personally led by Professor Tang had concluded its discussion.


    Every worker involved in hand surgery who was present had never imagined that they would experience such an unimaginable improvement.


    The scene changed to a video of Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, and at this moment, everyone concentrated intensely.


    They had no idea where Chen Cang¡¯s suturing technique originated from!


    Who had he studied under?


    Even Professor Tang felt somewhat moved. Watching the surgical footage, he began to ask questions one by one.


    Of course, Chen Cang was forthcoming, detailing his suturing approach and thoughts.


    That was because Chen Cang himself didn¡¯t know whether he had any shortcomings, while Professor Tang was someone who could guide him.


    However¡­


    The more Chen Cang spoke, the more Jiang Tao and Li Yu were dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were hearing!


    Even Professor Tang became more and more silent.


    He had not anticipated that this young Dr. Chen would have such a profound understanding of tendon suturing!


    ¡°This combines Bunnell¡¯s approach with Kessler¡¯s ideas¡­ this here is¡­


    I believe there is no absolute suturing method, only the best choice. It¡¯s like color, constantly recombining randomly to achieve a more appropriate suturing purpose¡­¡±


    After Chen Cang finished speaking, Professor Tang was the first to burst into applause!


    He looked at Chen Cang with a face full of excitement, his eyes filled with enthusiasm, ¡°Professor Chen, you¡¯re doing something¡­ even we didn¡¯t dare attempt!¡±


    At this point, Tang Jinbo¡¯s eyes dimmed slightly, ¡°Perhaps, it¡¯s only your generation that can do this. We are old, and it¡¯s ultimately a long road. I hope you can lead this group of young people even farther!¡±


    ¡°You have very thoughtful ideas. I¡¯ve worked and researched with Professor Wang Yushan and Professor Chang Honglei. We¡¯ve all sat down and studied these issues seriously. Professor Chang has devoted her lifetime to refining traditional suturing methods, and so has Director Wang. We¡¯ve thought about these problems too, but it¡¯s just too difficult. Your way of thinking, on the other hand, is very good, very promising!¡±


    At this point, Tang Jinbo looked at Chen Cang with a gleam in his eyes.


    ¡°Now, I suddenly feel that the plans we put down, abandoned, shelved, seem like they can be restarted!¡±


    ¡°I think we can really sit down and have a good talk about this. It has milestone significance for the development of hand surgery in our country!¡±


    After these words, Li Yu looked up at his teacher, not expecting him to say such a thing.


    He had always thought Professor Tang had an unstoppable, unbeatable career, but¡­ had never heard the teacher speak about those early days.


    And Jiang Tao, looking at Chen Cang, sighed deeply as he recalled his own first few days, having brought back a sense of superiority from the capital.


    When he thought about it carefully?


    Actually¡­ No, it should be Professor Chen who simply didn¡¯t bother to lower himself to his level.


    The gap was simply too vast!


    Tang Jinbo looked at Chen Cang, ¡°What do you call this suturing technique?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°The Chen Technique.¡±


    After hearing it, Tang Jinbo couldn¡¯t help but chuckle and joked, ¡°I thought it was called ¡®All Swords Return to the Clan.''¡±


    With that one sentence, he got everyone who was working to break into laughter.


    But¡­ Chen Cang thought of another issue!


    If this sentence were to appear in an SCI publication, how should it be translated?


    Chen Cang fell into deep thought!

 Chapter 494 - Chapter 494: Chapter 493: Reminiscing the Eventful and Dense Years

    Chapter 494: Chapter 493: Reminiscing the Eventful and Dense Years


    By now, the time had reached midnight!


    In the deep autumn of Anyang, the chill had set in.


    Yet, a group of people emerged from the Provincial Second Hospital, their spirits high.


    Tang Jinbo and Chen Cang walked together, talking and laughing, their hands constantly sketching a blueprint for the future, recounting tales of past struggles.


    Most of the hospital leaders had left, leaving only Qin Xiaoyuan, Li Jianwei, and Li Baoshan behind.


    Tomorrow was Saturday, and no one would be working.


    On a whim, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly said, ¡°Professor Tang has come from afar, how about we head to the night market for some food and drink? Anyang¡¯s night market is quite a feature too, gathering flavors from all directions. On this land of Anyang, they¡¯re crushed and blended, creating a unique taste!¡±


    Tang Jinbo smiled, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble Director Qin.¡±


    The group arrived at the night market, dressed in suits and leather shoes, but each took a seat on little stools.


    Before long, the table was filled with food!


    Li Jianwei looked at Li Baoshan with narrowed eyes and a smile, ¡°Baoshan¡­¡±


    Li Baoshan, realizing his role, stood up and said, ¡°You guys wait, I¡¯ll go get some drinks.¡±


    He then quickly walked toward his home.


    Everyone laughed.


    Whenever Qin Xiaoyuan and the others went out to eat with Li Baoshan, they never had to bring drinks or buy them. After all¡­ Director Li¡¯s home was stocked with plenty of alcohol.


    Logic would say, could they, as hospital directors, ever be short on alcohol?


    Of course not, but they all enjoyed a drink or two!


    Director Li, on the other hand, did not drink, and they knew it.


    Before long, Li Baoshan returned with a box, containing 30-year-old Fenjiu specially provided in glass bottles, clearly aged for quite some time.


    It was apparent that, to entertain Professor Tang, he had spared no expense.


    Qin Xiaoyuan said with a beaming smile, ¡°Professor Tang, this is Director Li¡¯s treasure. I¡¯ve wanted to try it for years but never had the chance¡ªtoday seems like a lucky day!¡±


    Tang Jinbo was in high spirits today, or rather excited!


    It was as if he had returned to those towering years of the past.


    Gradually, as the drinks and conversations flowed, the mood became livelier.


    Tang Jinbo looked at Chen Cang and spoke slowly, ¡°Back then, Wang Yushan, Chang Honglei, Gu Hongmei, and I¡ªwe all worked overtime day and night to create a new guide, performing over a dozen surgeries a day, continuously experimenting to create a standardized and effective tendon suturing method.¡±


    ¡°We met once a month, traveling by the green trains which took a full day. Wang Yushan and I were men, Chang Honglei and Gu Hongmei were women. We had to look after our female comrades. Every day we went to the capital, we would start discussing as soon as we arrived. I even got into a fight with Wang over this, ha ha¡­ but now we¡¯re all old!¡±


    As he spoke, Tang Jinbo¡¯s eyes filled with memories, reminiscing about their glorious era and those towering years.


    ¡°The four of us had four different philosophies, but only one goal¡ªto create a handbook of hand surgery that would lead the world.¡±


    At this point, Tang Jinbo took a deep breath, staring at Chen Cang, ¡°Do you think we never considered the idea you have?¡±


    ¡°We devoted five years to this idea! Five whole years, we aimed to break down the various tendon suturing methods and rebuild them, creating a new suturing technique, but the project was too vast!¡±


    ¡°Back then, we didn¡¯t know much about computers. Our handwritten drafts filled the rooms, all in the hopes of finding a better suturing method.¡±


    ¡°But in the end¡­ we did not persist. As time went on, each of us became more set in our own ideas. I was starting to form a preliminary concept of the Tang method, while Wang stuck to his own path; only Chang Honglei and Gu Hongmei continued this kind of research.¡±


    ¡°So, our team disbanded unpleasantly, and the project was shelved.¡±


    ¡°Later on, the Tang method was developed. At that time, I was thirty-five years old.¡±


    ¡°Wang Yushan is a year older than me and became the director of the Department of Hand Surgery at the Sixth City Hospital, leading his team towards glory and the summit, turning it into one of the top orthopedic and hand surgery hospitals in the country!¡±


    ¡°Chang Honglei is the same age as me, and Gu Hongmei is two years younger than us. She followed Chang Honglei from Xiehe to Jishuitan, making Jishuitan¡¯s hand surgery department a benchmark in the north.¡±


    At this point, Tang Jinbo¡¯s eyes blurred with tears.


    Li Yu had never heard his teacher speak of these things and was unaware of these forgotten matters.


    Tang Jinbo looked at Chen Cang, smiled, and said, ¡°Seeing your work, to be honest, reminds me of us back then, how we fought side by side. But¡­ you started at a much higher level than we did. Chen, I really hope you can do this well, that you can excel in tendon repair.¡±


    ¡°This¡­ is the path we didn¡¯t finish!¡±


    Somehow, that sentence made Chen Cang, Jiang Tao, and Li Yu all feel a sudden sourness in their noses.


    Chen Cang picked up his glass and said to Tang Jinbo, ¡°Professor Tang, I toast to you!¡±


    Jiang Tao and Li Yu quickly raised their glasses, ¡°Professor Tang, we toast to you!¡±


    Tang Jinbo gave a slight smile, ¡°It is I who should toast to you!¡±


    Drinking too much, Tang Jinbo got drunk.


    On the way back to the hotel, he started crying, ¡°Wang Yushan, you bastard, is it necessary to avoid my calls for so many years? Damn it¡­ do you think if you don¡¯t call me, I¡¯ll call you?¡±


    ¡°Chang Honglei! You promised that we were going to¡­¡±


    ¡°Hongmei¡­ the work we persevered in is now in the hands of a new generation!¡±


    After helping Professor Tang back to the hotel, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t shake his feelings for a long time.


    Jiang Tao also had no idea that his teacher had experienced such a remarkable time.


    Watching the sleeping Tang Jinbo lying in bed and still crying, Chen Cang suddenly felt something called responsibility and mission in his heart.


    Professor Tang¡¯s generation had laid a solid foundation for us.


    Maybe, it¡¯s our turn to carry the next big banner?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang glanced at Jiang Tao, whose eyes were red from drinking too much.


    When leaving the hotel, Li Yu stopped Chen Cang and said earnestly, ¡°Professor Chen, I¡¯m graduating next year, I¡­ I want to follow you!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you!¡±


    Li Yu nodded, returned to the hotel suite, and for the first time, felt a deep pang of pity for his drunken, weeping teacher.


    He silently swore to himself, ¡°Teacher, the rest of the road, I will walk it for you!¡±


    On the way back, Jiang Tao suddenly said, ¡°Chen¡­ Professor!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°You¡¯re calling me?¡±


    Jiang Tao nodded, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, ¡°It feels strange.¡±


    But that didn¡¯t matter, what he was called was unimportant.


    Jiang Tao said, ¡°I was wrong!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, perhaps¡­ he knew what Jiang Tao was referring to.


    ¡­


    ¡­

 Chapter 495 - Chapter 495: Chapter 495: I Want My Daughter to Marry Him!

    Chapter 495: Chapter 495: I Want My Daughter to Marry Him!


    Jiang Tao quickened his pace and ran up to Chen Cang, blocking his path. He looked earnestly into Chen Cang¡¯s eyes and said seriously, ¡°I was wrong!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°You¡¯re drunk.¡±


    Jiang Tao shouted loudly, ¡°No, I¡¯m not drunk! Professor Chen, I was wrong. I was ignorant, arrogant, proud, and conceited¡­ I¡­ I apologize to you.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned. Watching Jiang Tao shout so heart-wrenchingly left him rather taken aback.


    He hadn¡¯t really cared about Jiang Tao; he felt indifferent to these matters, nor did he pay them any mind.


    Jiang Tao, staring at Chen Cang, said, ¡°Professor Chen, my teacher is Gu Hongmei!¡±


    ¡°I want to follow in your footsteps. I want to complete the journey that their generation didn¡¯t finish!¡±


    ¡°Only you can lead us to victory!¡±


    ¡°Professor Chen, I want to follow you!¡±


    After listening to Professor Tang¡¯s stories about the old days, hearing about the older generation¡¯s struggles and their glory, Jiang Tao was also moved by the spirit of the older generation!


    It was the path that the predecessors in Chinese medical and healthcare hadn¡¯t finished!


    They had limited conditions and had walked a long, long road, and maybe by today, they couldn¡¯t go any further!


    And we, as the new generation of doctors, should finish this path.


    Even if we can¡¯t complete it, we should go as far as possible!


    For the sake of our future children and our students, to give them a higher starting point.


    Jiang Tao knew that they were advancing on the shoulders of their teachers, thinking about the persistence of the teachers over the years, about the surgeries and research, day after day, year after year, even at their advanced age.


    Thinking about how the teachers and Director Chang Honglei were still trying and researching every day¡­


    Now, he suddenly understood why they had to do this?!


    Because of responsibility!


    And because of legacy.


    To the average person, being the director at Jishuitan would mean one is at the pinnacle of their career, now it¡¯s about attending meetings, lecturing, taking in students for research projects¡­ essentially, it¡¯s time to live off past achievements.


    Why bother with such hardship when you¡¯re over fifty and still at the clinical forefront?


    Wouldn¡¯t the small joys of money be pleasant?


    Isn¡¯t Maldives comfortable?


    Isn¡¯t it delightful to cuddle your grandchildren?


    ¡­


    But then, having heard Professor Tang¡¯s words, he suddenly understood.


    It was their generation¡¯s perseverance, their contribution to this era.


    It was because of these people that they had their current starting point!


    Jiang Tao shouted at the top of his voice, heart-wrenchingly. He wanted to take the fervent, red heart from within him and show Chen Cang, I, Jiang Tao, have ideals too, I am willing to devote my life to the cause I am part of!


    Seeing Jiang Tao like this, Chen Cang fell silent.


    Hadn¡¯t he felt the same way?


    Listening to the stories of the older generation, their struggles, the towering moments of their years¡­


    Hadn¡¯t Chen Cang been moved?


    Chen Cang looked at Jiang Tao: ¡°Are you really willing?¡±


    Jiang Tao was startled and looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Can I¡­ Can I really do that?¡±


    Chen Cang gazed into his eyes and said quietly, ¡°Why not?¡±


    Jiang Tao immediately felt his confidence surge. He grabbed Chen Cang¡¯s arm: ¡°I will definitely do my best!¡±


    Chen Cang took Jiang Tao back to his home.


    Jiang Tao was clearly drunk, talking too much, babbling that he wasn¡¯t drunk.


    Afterward, he made his way towards his house.


    The wind on the road was somewhat chilly, but it couldn¡¯t extinguish the fire in Chen Cang¡¯s heart.


    Listening to Professor Tang¡¯s words, Chen Cang felt envious. Those were their stories.


    Perhaps¡­


    I can have a story that belongs to me!


    Maybe, decades later, when I¡¯m old and have had a bit too much to drink, I could also, in my tipsiness, talk about our stories back then¡­


    Life goes on, and the flame of legacy has never been extinguished!


    Back home, Chen Cang lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.


    He sent a message to Qin Yue, but there was no reply.


    Chen Cang thought she was asleep.


    He had thought about a lot, thought of Tang Jinbo, thought of Wang Yushan, and thought of Chang Honglei, as well as An Yanjun, Tan Zhonglin, and Jiang Tao, even Li Yu.


    In the end, Chen Cang suddenly had an idea.


    Why not give it a try?


    Since he had this opportunity, why couldn¡¯t he take this group of young people a little further?


    At this point, Chen Cang thought of something!


    An opportunity that could eliminate the barriers between the older generation and increase the cohesion of the new generation.


    Invite these people over, sit down properly, and have a new discussion about future plans!


    Afterward, he picked up his cell phone and sent a message to Wang Yushan.


    Then to Chang Honglei.


    Finally, to Jiang Tao, since he didn¡¯t have Gu Hongmei¡¯s number, he simply asked Jiang Tao to contact her directly.


    After that, he put down the phone and prepared to sleep.


    Suddenly, a WeChat notification sounded.


    Chen Cang picked up the phone, and it was Qin Yue¡¯s reply, ¡°Just now my dad got really drunk and spent the whole time crying and throwing up in the toilet¡­¡±


    ¡°Mumbling to himself, saying, ¡®Teacher, I haven¡¯t done well! I¡­''¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, and after thinking about this evening¡¯s conversation, he also let it go.


    Smiling, he said, ¡°Take good care of him.¡±


    A little while later¡­


    Qin Yue suddenly sent an emoji of crying and laughing.


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°What happened now?¡±


    Qin Yue: ¡°My dad isn¡¯t crying anymore, now he¡¯s over there laughing.¡±


    Then, Qin Yue recorded an audio and sent it to him.


    ¡°Wife! I¡¯m telling you, I haven¡¯t turned the provincial hospital into the best hospital! But¡­ I believe my son-in-law can!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s got no problem! I am going to marry my daughter off to Chen Cang!¡±


    ¡°This young man, I¡¯m telling you, he¡¯s solid!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve drunk with him, I know what kind of person he is, I¡¯m going to marry my girl off to him, you better not stop me!¡±


    ¡°If he doesn¡¯t have a house, I¡¯ll buy one, if he doesn¡¯t have a car, I¡¯ll buy that too, as long as he treats my girl well, I¡¯m up for anything!¡±


    ¡°This kid, he¡¯s definitely talented, I believe that if the provincial hospital is led by him, it will absolutely become the number one in Dongyang Province!¡±


    ¡°If I were thirty years younger, I¡¯d become sworn brothers with Chen Cang¡­¡±


    ¡°Ugh¡­ this kid, he¡¯s making me proud!¡±


    Chen Cang, listening to Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s words, didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry!


    Qin Yue laughed: ¡°Hear that? My dad is planning to marry me off to you! Happy?¡±


    Chen Cang was gleeful, ¡°Happy!¡±


    Ji Ruyun watched Qin Xiaoyuan switch from crying to laughing and didn¡¯t stop him; instead, she squatted beside him, carefully patting his back to make him more comfortable.


    An Jing was listening to Qin Xiaoyuan talk nonsense, handed him a cup of hot water to rinse his mouth.


    She didn¡¯t mind the sour and rotten smell of vomit.


    She knew that old Qin was happy today.


    For all these years, this was the first time she¡¯d seen him get this drunk.


    Qin Yue secretly glanced outside, seeing her parents like that, suddenly felt immense envy in her heart.


    Hope our future can be just as beautiful.


    Thinking this, Qin Yue sent a message, ¡°Husband, I love you, good night!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Love you, good night!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Thanks to the old friend ¡°FireWingsk¡± for the 10,000 rewards!


    Also thanks to the QQ client: ¡°Liu Li¡± for the 20,000 rewards!


    Thank you to every friend who supports the veteran writer, I hope to write even better stories.


    And¡­ I seem to have written the wrong number for the previous chapter.

 Chapter 496 - Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Convergence of Ammonium Positivity!

    Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Convergence of Ammonium Positivity!


    ¡°Director Wang, the matters on that end have been communicated clearly, shall we go now?¡±


    The general manager of Ruizhi Company and several hospital leaders including Wang Yushan were scheduled to head to the new hospital district today to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.


    The development of Modu City¡¯s Sixth Hospital was changing rapidly, and the construction of the new orthopedics district represented another leap forward for the Sixth Hospital.


    The prosperity of the Sixth Hospital could not be separated from the efforts of this generation, and Wang Yushan¡¯s contributions were indispensable¡ªirreplaceable by anyone.


    Standing at the entrance of the Sixth Hospital, Wang Yushan took a deep breath as he recalled the scenery here twenty years ago and contrasted it with the present hustle and bustle, feeling proud that this was the territory they had fought for, the honor of their generation.


    And now, in another place, a branch of the Sixth Hospital was about to rise from the ground once again.


    It would become another new stage.


    He wondered how many young people would contribute their youth there.


    With every construction of a new hospital district, Wang Yushan always felt a flood of emotions, and when the new district would begin operating, he would give speeches, mobilize, and tell the young people that the future was in their hands.


    This time might not be an exception.


    At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.


    Looking at the caller ID, Wang Yushan¡¯s body shuddered, and it took him a while to regain his composure.


    How long had it been?


    How long had it been since this number had called him?


    Over the years, he had changed more than a dozen phones, but he had never forgotten to save this number.


    Because this number had a special significance.


    ¡°Hello? Junior Sister!¡±


    He had thought it would feel unfamiliar, but as soon as he called out ¡°Junior Sister,¡± it suddenly felt natural, as if¡­ it was just yesterday.


    The term ¡°Junior Sister¡± brought the woman on the other end of the phone to tears.


    She pinched her nose, trying not to let the tears fall.


    But¡­ how long had it been since anyone had heard this ¡°Junior Sister,¡± let alone called her that?


    Gu Hongmei picked up her sleeve, wiped her eyes, and called out a name she hadn¡¯t spoken in a very long time, but had never forgotten: ¡°Senior Brother.¡±


    Her voice was choked with emotion, and even Gu Hongmei, in her fifties, hadn¡¯t expected that making this call would feel so familiar, with none of the awkwardness she had anticipated.


    A single ¡°Senior Brother,¡± a lifelong Senior Brother.


    This ¡°Senior Brother¡± also made Wang Yushan¡¯s eyes well up with tears, his lips quivering.


    ¡°Senior Brother, are you coming?¡± Gu Hongmei calmed herself and asked.


    Wang Yushan was startled, ¡°Going where?¡±


    Gu Hongmei paused briefly, ¡°They¡­ didn¡¯t invite you?¡±


    Wang Yushan was even more astonished!


    ¡°Junior Sister, what do you mean?¡±


    Gu Hongmei asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t Chen Cang send you a WeChat message?¡±


    Wang Yushan opened WeChat, and a flood of messages drowned out one in particular. He received a vast amount of messages every day and hardly had time to look at them. Scrolling down, he finally saw the message from Chen Cang:


    When he saw Chen Cang¡¯s message, Wang Yushan didn¡¯t realize he had spaced out for a moment!


    Tang Jinbo was gone!


    Then, it took him several long minutes to read it through, over and over¡ªa mere dozen or so sentences, read more than a dozen times¡­


    He reminisced about the relentless struggle of those days and nights, remembered the perseverance of four young people, the towering moments of the past, and the smiling faces back then.


    Without realizing it, Wang Yushan suddenly found himself in tears, putting down his phone and covering his face with his hands, yet the tears still slid down his fingertips.


    The driver looked at Wang Yushan without saying a word; he didn¡¯t know what was wrong with the director.


    Suddenly, Wang Yushan looked up, his eyes red, and said to the driver, ¡°Old Yang, take me home! I need to pick something up, and then we¡¯ll head to the airport.¡±


    The driver was startled but did not ask further and turned the car around.


    Wang Yushan picked up the phone and told the other department heads that he couldn¡¯t make it today.


    People couldn¡¯t help but persuade him, ¡°Dean Wang, today¡­ we can¡¯t do it without you!¡±


    Wang Yushan took a deep breath and said, ¡°I have something more important to do today!¡±


    The other party was taken aback, ¡°Okay!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chang Honglei was attending an academic report today. Weekends were always busy for her, and when she saw a phone call, she got up and rushed out in a hurry.


    ¡°Dean Wang, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Wang Yushan and Chang Honglei had a closer relationship.


    As time passed, Yushan became Dean Wang.


    Honglei was also referred to as Director Chang.


    Hearing her reaction, Wang Yushan realized she probably didn¡¯t know yet.


    Wang Yushan sighed, ¡°Honglei, check WeChat and see if Chen Cang sent you a message.¡±


    Chang Honglei was stunned for a moment. It seemed like a long time since anyone had called her Honglei, right?


    She skeptically opened WeChat and after seeing it, she was momentarily stunned, then asked the Wang Yushan on the other end, ¡°Yushan¡­ is this for real?¡±


    Wang Yushan, ¡°I¡¯ve booked a flight, arriving in Anyang at three this afternoon. It was¡­ my junior sister who notified me.¡±


    Chang Honglei hadn¡¯t had the chance to reply when she saw a call from Gu Hongmei.


    She decisively said, ¡°I¡¯ll book a ticket immediately!¡±


    After hanging up the phone, she immediately answered Gu Hongmei¡¯s call, ¡°Hongmei, I saw it¡­ your senior brother called me.¡±


    Gu Hongmei was initially taken aback, ¡°Senior sister, I¡¯ve booked a ticket for you, see you at the airport in an hour.¡±


    Chang Honglei smiled through misty eyes, full of anticipation, and nodded, ¡°Okay!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Three people, two flights, flying towards Anyang.


    Chen Cang got up in the morning and went to the hotel. Professor Tang had gone to bed late after drinking too much and hadn¡¯t gotten up in the morning.


    Chen Cang thought it over and asked the restaurant to send up some breakfast.


    After knocking, Li Yu opened the door, and Chen Cang, holding the breakfast, walked in and asked, ¡°Is Professor Tang up?¡±


    Li Yu smiled, ¡°He slept too late last night, threw up twice in the morning, and held onto me to tell stories for more than an hour. He was exhausted and only then went to sleep.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s have some breakfast first. When Professor Tang wakes up, I need to talk to him about something.¡±


    Li Yu nodded and the two young men chatted and ate.


    Professor Tang got up, dressed, and came out.


    When he saw Chen Cang, he smiled, ¡°Professor Chen, I lost my composure last night.¡±


    Chen Cang hurriedly said, ¡°Not at all, Professor Tang, you can just call me Chen. Please sit down, have some food, and I need to talk to you about something.¡±


    Tang Jinbo paused briefly and then nodded.


    The alcohol was good, and although he had drunk too much, he didn¡¯t feel hungover upon waking, which made Tang Jinbo somewhat relieved.


    Seeing Chen Cang in the morning, Tang Jinbo also smiled, ¡°Chen, that¡¯s thoughtful of you, I really appreciate it this time, and when you have time, come to Nantong, I¡¯ll host you.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m planning to go back this afternoon. This trip has been very beneficial for me, truly worth it!¡±


    Tang Jinbo smiled. The discussion with Chen Cang last night had been enormously beneficial for him!

 Chapter 497 - Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Special Arrangements for the Evening!

    Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Special Arrangements for the Evening!


    Tang Jinbo drank his porridge and glanced at Li Yu beside him, saying, ¡°Little Li, what do you think of Professor Chen?¡±


    Li Yu wasn¡¯t foolish and knew what his teacher was hinting at, ¡°Very impressive! Professor Chen is the best I¡¯ve seen at tendon suturing.¡±


    Tang Jinbo didn¡¯t get angry because Li Yu didn¡¯t flatter him, but instead, he smiled and nodded.


    In surgery, the pinnacle ultimately comes during one¡¯s younger years; after reaching their fifties, surgeons begin to decline as their body¡¯s reflexes, dexterity, and overall abilities naturally can¡¯t keep up anymore.


    Tang Jinbo looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Professor Chen, actually, I suggest that if you could make hand surgery a separate department, I would talk to your hospital¡¯s dean about this, to make hand surgery a key specialty.¡±


    ¡°You have the capability!¡±


    After finishing, ¡°If you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯d like to recommend my student, Li Yu, to come over. The lad is really not bad at all, whether it¡¯s clinical skills or research capabilities, I have to give him a special mention.¡±


    ¡°This¡­ I¡¯m also relying on my seniority to make this recommendation. Of course, I will communicate with your dean, but I believe that, in the end, it¡¯s up to you.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded. Professor Tang Jinbo was a prominent figure in the field of hand surgery in the country!


    Could his student be anything less?


    To put it bluntly, speaking from a realistic point of view,


    Among the many hand surgery mentors nationwide, how could anyone become Tang Jinbo¡¯s student without substantial ¡°overall strength¡±?


    So, this was beyond doubt.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°If Li Yu is willing to come, I will of course welcome him with open arms.¡±


    Li Yu was quick-witted and promptly expressed his stance, ¡°Professor Chen, I am willing to work with you!¡±


    Li Yu was a clever person, and he saw things very clearly. How long could his teacher help him? That was uncertain, but how old was Chen Cang?


    His future, his prospects, were definitely boundless.


    Life is a series of investments, and you, yourself, are the chips.


    Tang Jinbo wiped his hands with a napkin, a good day beginning with a satisfying breakfast.


    After speaking, Tang Jinbo smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll observe a few surgeries today, and then my trip to Anyang will have been fruitful. By the way, if it¡¯s convenient, could you make a copy of yesterday¡¯s surgery video for me, Professor Chen? I would like to study it when I return.¡±


    To Li Yu, he said, ¡°Little Li, check if there are any flights tonight or tomorrow.¡±


    Chen Cang heard this and thought, leaving today?


    That won¡¯t do!


    I have plans for tonight!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang hurriedly said, ¡°Err¡­ Professor Tang, why not stay one more day? There¡¯s a special arrangement for tonight!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s words left both Li Yu and Tang Jinbo stunned.


    Wide-eyed staring.


    Li Yu swallowed hard. Is Anyang really that fierce?


    This was supposed to be an academic gathering between professors. Isn¡¯t this inappropriate? If¡­ if it¡¯s really not okay, I could stand in for the professor.


    Li Yu sized up his own small frame. It should¡­ probably be alright, right?


    At the same time, Tang Jinbo¡¯s face turned red upon hearing about this ¡°special arrangement¡± by Chen Cang, and he was somewhat amused and embarrassed. How old are we now?


    Besides!


    That would be illegal.


    With this thought, Tang Jinbo deliberately straightened his face, looking at Chen Cang, and Professor Chen suddenly became Little Chen, ¡°Little Chen, you¡¯re still young, take care of your health!¡±


    ¡°And those messy things, I don¡¯t want any part of them. Don¡¯t bring this up again in the future!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback.


    What messy things?


    But seeing Li Yu¡¯s hopeful expression¡­


    This left Chen Cang somewhat bewildered. Did I say something wrong?


    Chen Cang continued, ¡°No, no, Professor Tang!¡±


    Suddenly he realized what had happened and burst into an embarrassed smile, saying, ¡°Professor Tang, you¡¯ve misunderstood me. How could I be involved in such things!¡±


    ¡°Tonight, I¡¯ve booked a restaurant, and I¡¯m taking you to meet a few people, I believe you¡¯re definitely going to be happy.¡±


    Watching Chen Cang¡¯s mysteriously excited expression, Tang Jinbo was also a bit curious, what the heck was this kid up to?


    In the morning, there wasn¡¯t much to do, but in the afternoon there were several surgeries, which Chen Cang had An Yanjun perform.


    When Tan Zhonglin learned that Professor Tang had arrived, he hurried over!


    As soon as Tan Zhonglin heard that Chen Cang had An Yanjun operate, he immediately felt jealous, after all, this was in front of Professor Tang, how could he let An Yanjun steal the limelight?


    Feeling helpless, Director An let Tan Zhonglin take over a few operations.


    Jiang Tao was assigned to pick up someone from the airport.


    The afternoon surgeries still involved a few people, the only addition being Tan Zhonglin.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Gu Hongmei and Chang Honglei arrived first at Anyang Airport.


    It had also been a while since Jiang Tao had seen his teacher and Director Chang, so he eagerly put their luggage into the Mercedes-Benz van waiting for them, which was spacious.


    The flight from the magic city was about to arrive in less than 20 minutes.


    So the group decided to wait outside the airport.


    Gu Hongmei and Chang Hongmei were very much looking forward to this reunion.


    Gu Hongmei was brimming with endless things to say, just like a little girl, constantly asking Chang Honglei, ¡°What do you think it¡¯s going to be like when Brother Wang and Brother Tang meet? They haven¡¯t seen each other in such a long time, right?¡±


    Chang Honglei nodded, Tang Jinbo and Wang Yushan, although completely different in personality, were both very proud at heart! And very stubborn!


    They would definitely not give in to each other.


    Thinking about tonight¡¯s meeting, she was also very excited.


    Gu Hongmei, looking at Jiang Tao, said, ¡°Sister Director, the tendon rehabilitation guide that Xiao Jiang sent me, was actually done by Doctor Chen Cang from their department for himself! Who exactly is this person?¡±


    Recalling the last suture work, Chang Honglei couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Maybe¡­ he¡¯s someone who can complete the tasks we couldn¡¯t finish back in the day!¡±


    In the midst of their conversation, a figure appeared, not too tall nor too short, but looking very energetic, dressed in a crisply tailored suit, with what little hair he had left neatly groomed.


    For this reunion, Wang Yushan had put on his best-looking clothes.


    This was the first time in twenty years that the four of them were having a proper reunion.


    Seeing Gu Hongmei and Chang Honglei waiting, Wang Yushan approached them with a calm expression, but his heart was fluttering with excitement.


    Chang Honglei looked up and said, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re still as handsome as ever!¡±


    Wang Yushan couldn¡¯t resist saying, ¡°More handsome than Tang Jinbo, right?¡±


    With that one sentence, he made Chang Honglei laugh.


    Watching the three characters from the story appear, Jiang Tao was also extremely thrilled. He was very much looking forward to what the scene would be like when the teachers met tonight!


    Perhaps¡­


    Even the mere thought made him feel excited.


    With their luggage in tow, the group got in the car and headed towards the provincial hospital.


    At that moment, Jiang Tao sent Chen Cang a text message: ¡°I¡¯ve picked up everyone, they¡¯re all here!¡±


    Seeing the message, Chen Cang immediately smiled and glanced at Tang Jinbo.


    He was likewise very eager for their meeting this time.


    Of course, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t just organizing a get-together for no reason, he was doing it for a group of people to sit down and discuss something important, something about passing the torch!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: I¡¯m somewhat looking forward to the chapters that follow, though even I haven¡¯t figured them all out yet.


    Thank you to ¡°Plum Blossom Village Scholar¡±, ¡°Wood Easy¡¯s Yi¡±, and ¡°Sakitamax¡± for their 10000 rewards, as well as every friend who has rewarded, voted, and subscribed. I actually want to write it all out, but¡­ there are too many words, you guys would definitely say I¡¯m scamming for money, haha!

 Chapter 498 - Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Surgery Required!

    Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Surgery Required!


    Life never goes according to script!


    ¡­


    Jiang Tao had everything ready and had booked the restaurant.


    Whether it was Wang Yushan, Chang Honglei, or Gu Hongmei, they all felt somewhat expectant. What would the feeling of reuniting after such a long separation be like?


    Due to Professor Tang¡¯s arrival, there were a few more surgeries on Saturday, intended for exchange and discussion.


    By the time it was past six, everyone left satisfied.


    Tang Jinbo looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Little Chen, this time I¡¯ve really benefited a lot, received many inspirations. When I get back, I will summarize them well, and then we can sit down and have a further exchange.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Professor Tang is too kind. I also learned a lot from you today!¡±


    The two chatted as they came out of the operating room. Chen Cang¡¯s WeChat on his phone went off, and he picked it up to see that it was from Jiang Tao.


    ¡°I¡¯ve made all the arrangements here, Dongyue Tower, the Nanlao Pavilion private room.¡±


    Chen Cang mentally noted, Not bad!


    He said to Professor Tang, ¡°This afternoon, after performing surgeries, Professor Tang must be tired too. Tonight, we¡¯ve booked a spot at a restaurant that specializes in Dongyang cuisine to introduce Professor Tang to our local delicacies!¡±


    As they spoke, the group walked towards the hotel they had booked.


    When Tang Jinbo pushed the door open, the scene before him left him stunned!


    It wasn¡¯t just him. Wang Baoshan also stood up, while Gu Hongmei and Chang Honglei both got to their feet and looked at Tang Jinbo.


    The four of them stared at each other and then suddenly burst into laughter.


    In that moment,


    perhaps the past is like smoke.


    Returning, we¡¯re no longer the youth of yesteryear.


    Youth fleets with the passing time,


    And the stories reappear.


    All the past grievances,


    dissipate amid the laughter and chatter.


    ¡­


    Chen Cang smiled as he looked at the group, his phone suddenly rang, and he answered the call.


    Shi Na said, ¡°Little Chen, we¡¯ve got an emergency. A child not even 3 years old, his right hand¡­ it¡¯s like a claw that can¡¯t relax. I think it may be ischemic contracture of the forearm.¡±


    ¡°Are you still with Professor Tang? Why don¡¯t you¡­ come over and take a look? The patient¡¯s condition is quite¡­ special!¡±


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, then nodded, ¡°All right, Teacher Shi, please wait a moment, we¡¯ll be right over.¡±


    Chen Cang looked up at the four teachers and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Teachers, an emergency came in. It¡¯s a child diagnosed by orthopedics with ischemic contracture of the forearm muscles. This¡­ I¡¯m really sorry¡­¡±


    As they heard Chen Cang¡¯s voice, Wang Yushan and the others immediately frowned.


    Ischemic contracture?


    This condition is no small ailment!


    Ischemic contracture is rare, but once it occurs, it can lead to serious consequences!


    Not to mention in the Second Provincial Hospital, even in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, one would need to go to a major hospital for treatment.


    Thinking this, the four looked at each other and hurriedly rose to their feet.


    Before Chen Cang could speak again, Wang Yushan took the lead, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    The four of them sprang into action and headed towards the exit. As doctors, they were always ready to fight at a moment¡¯s notice.


    If where there are criminals, there are police,


    then where there is disease, there are doctors!


    Chen Cang watched as these four shining high-level NPCs rushed out the door, suddenly feeling an epiphany. This is what my seniors are like!


    It¡¯s not just about skill, but also that heart they have towards patients!


    Seeing them, Chen Cang immediately felt reassured.


    With them here, this was the elite force of domestic top-tier hand surgery specialists!


    What problem could there be that they couldn¡¯t solve?


    If there really was one, then no one in the country could solve it.


    After the group came out, they hurriedly hailed a taxi.


    The distance wasn¡¯t far, just a seven or eight-minute drive.


    Chen Cang hadn¡¯t even had the chance to get out of the car when Wang Yushan and the other three dashed through the doors and ran ahead.


    Chen Cang hastily followed them in.


    These four were people who had carved out a career for themselves on the battlefield of hand surgery.


    Each one of them was a top industry magnate in the country.


    Shi Na was startled to see everyone and asked Chen Cang in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and introduced the four people to her, and only then did Shi Na breathe a sigh of relief, her face lighting up with joy.


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°Teacher Shi, what¡¯s so special about the patient?¡±


    Shi Na pointed to a corner nearby.


    Chen Cang finally understood why the case was somewhat special.


    This homeless man was someone Chen Cang had seen before!


    He was the mute man whom Chen Cang had once set a dislocation for with manual realignment.


    But today, he seemed to have cleaned himself up, wearing a suit that was presentable, although a bit old and clearly a style from many years ago in gray. Yet, the stains on his hands and face looked like they were deeply embedded within the wrinkles, hard to clean, making him stand out with obvious discomfort!


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Could it be him?¡±


    Shi Na shook her head, ¡°No, it¡¯s a little boy, not his child, but¡­ he found him, there¡¯s no identification.¡±


    ¡°He knelt outside with the child in his arms for a long time, the child was bawling his eyes out, and I just couldn¡¯t stand it so I let them in.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, walked to the door of the emergency room, and the man gave Chen Cang a friendly smile. He couldn¡¯t speak and hastily fished a piece of paper out of his pocket to give to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang, curious, took it, ¡°Save the child, I have money.¡±


    For some reason, Chen Cang felt a deep connection looking at those seven characters.


    Wang Yushan glanced at the homeless man, nodded, and entered the emergency room, while Chen Cang said to the homeless man, ¡°Come in.¡±


    The homeless man shook his head and stepped back, pointing at himself to indicate he was dirty.


    Chen Cang paused, then said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I need to ask you a few questions. You can write, right?¡±


    The homeless man nodded and hesitated before he followed inside, but¡­ he took off his shoes and walked in barefoot.


    In the deep autumn chill, the floor was tiled and even cooler. Standing barefoot on the ground, the man smiled and grinned.


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°Do you have an ID card?¡±


    The man took it out from his pocket and handed it to Chen Cang.


    Seeing the name, Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback by the poetic name, ¡°Tao Hancai.¡±


    The photo on the ID card wasn¡¯t particularly handsome, but it was also quite striking, hard to associate with the man before him.


    However, now was not the time to dwell on that.


    Chen Cang moved forward to see the patient, a child of no more than two or three years old, whose arm showed interspersed pallor and cyanosis, patches of blue and purple, while the palm was blackened, curled up like a claw.


    Before Chen Cang could react, he saw Wang Yushan place his hand on the child¡¯s arm.


    A few seconds later, his expression changed and he looked up to say, ¡°A Volkmann¡¯s ischemic contracture of the hand!¡±


    At these words, the other three immediately furrowed their brows!


    Tang Jinbo stepped forward, trying to lift the child¡¯s right hand, but the child suddenly woke up and began to cry loudly.


    Chang Honglei quickly came over to soothe him.


    After Tang Jinbo completed the examination, he looked at the others, ¡°It¡¯s been too long, he needs surgery!¡±

 Chapter 499 - Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Even Tigers Do Not Eat Their Cubs

    Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Even Tigers Do Not Eat Their Cubs


    Gu Hongmei¡¯s expression changed instantly when she heard what Wang Yushan and Tang Jinbo said!


    With some blame in her eyes, she glanced at the man, ¡°His condition hasn¡¯t been for just a day or two, has it? It must have been at least half a year, right? What were you doing at the beginning? Now the muscles in the child¡¯s forearm have degenerated and necrosed, forming scars. How could he not be in pain?¡±


    It¡¯s no wonder Gu Hongmei was angry!


    The child was probably not even two years old, but at this moment, anyone who saw his twisted arm would feel pained.


    Ischemic muscular contracture of the forearm is one of the serious complications that can occur after limb trauma, mainly caused by insufficient muscle blood supply.


    This condition often has a history of trauma or a history of compression in the elbow and forearm.


    It can occur in any age or gender, and if treated early and timely, the results can be satisfactory.


    However, if the condition is untreated, or treatment is delayed, irregular, or ineffective, the outcome can be poor or lead to disability, and it can even cause death!


    Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are of utmost importance.


    Clearly, the child¡¯s situation is no longer in the early stages; the presence of Volkmann¡¯s ischemic contracture deformity with claw hand indicates a late stage.


    That¡¯s why Gu Hongmei was somewhat angry and resentful.


    The child was possibly only between one and two years old, an age when others would still be in swaddling clothes, enjoying the most beautiful moments of life.


    Yet this child was on the brink of disability, or even death!


    The man, upon hearing Gu Hongmei¡¯s rebuke, couldn¡¯t help but flush with embarrassment, shaking his head anxiously, wanting to explain, but he was too flustered to speak.


    At this moment, Wang Yushan spoke solemnly, ¡°The forearm has a fracture of the radius, but¡­ it¡¯s already healed, which is a malunion that has been around for over half a year.¡±


    Everyone felt a chill in their hearts at these matter-of-fact words.


    The longer the duration, the more dangerous the situation, and the higher the risk of death!


    What kind of parents could do such a thing? Their child¡¯s arm had been fractured for more than half a year, neglected and left untreated, which allowed it to grow deformed and possibly led to muscle necrosis, resulting in today¡¯s Volkmann¡¯s ischemic contracture deformity.


    Chen Cang looked at Tao Hancai and asked, ¡°How did you find him?¡±


    Tao Hancai might not understand the doctors¡¯ words but vaguely understood that arriving late meant the situation was severe and potentially life-threatening.


    His eyes reddened with emotion as he kept shaking his head and praying. Then, suddenly coming to his senses, he wrote on a piece of paper, ¡°I found the child in an alley the day before yesterday, but I am willing to pay for his treatment. I have money. I have 52,941.5 yuan, and I am willing to give it all for his treatment.¡±


    After saying this, he pulled out a plastic bag from his pocket, just like the last time, but this time it bulged with money, both coins and bills.


    Upon reading the man¡¯s words, everyone took a deep breath.


    What kind of parents could do such a thing!


    Even a tiger wouldn¡¯t eat its cub, yet they threw the child into an alley to fend for himself?


    Are they worse than a homeless person?


    He was willing to give his whole fortune to save a child, while you carelessly discarded him in a corner.


    At that moment, everyone looked at the homeless man with additional respect and emotion.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Currently, with the child¡¯s origins unknown and his family whereabouts a mystery, Chen Cang still needed to report to the hospital. The hospital and the government have a special fund support and management system for abandoned infants.


    They wouldn¡¯t leave a homeless man responsible for a child; society wouldn¡¯t be so uncaring as to let a child fend for himself.


    Chen Cang had found abandoned infants at the entrance of the emergency department before, but it was rare. However, they were familiar with such situations at the pediatric hospital.


    Parents who couldn¡¯t afford the medical bills would secretly leave their child at the entrance of the pediatric hospital¡¯s emergency department, standing in a corner waiting for a doctor to bring the child in, and then leave in tears.


    But who could be so heartless as to abandon a child next to a pile of trash, only to be picked up by a homeless man!


    Upon hearing the news, Qin Xiaoyuan hurried to the hospital, calling the medical department and other relevant departments to prepare the necessary reports.


    In the meantime, they had already begun examining and drawing blood from the child.


    When the X-ray came out, everyone who saw the deformed arm couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of desolation, looking at the child sedated with tranquilizers, they became somewhat sentimental.


    At this moment, the homeless man didn¡¯t dare to approach, but he watched over him silently with his eyes.


    Wang Yushan and Tang Jinbo began discussing how to deal with the disease.


    When Chen Cang was listening, someone suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes.


    Chen Cang turned around, looked at the homeless man, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    The homeless man glanced around and gestured for Chen Cang to step outside.


    Chen Cang nodded and followed him out.


    The homeless man took out a piece of paper and wrote, ¡°Can I pay for the treatment, and raise the child to adulthood?¡±


    That one sentence left Chen Cang stunned.


    The child would definitely be investigated by the public security authorities to find his parents; if they were not found, he would likely be sent to a welfare institution.


    But¡­ if that were the case, the homeless man might lose the right to foster him, right?


    And, legally speaking, such foundlings are generally not recognized.


    Even getting the child registered would then become a problem.


    Yet, seeing the hopeful look in the homeless man¡¯s eyes, Chen Cang might understand what he was thinking.


    This might be his commitment to a future life.


    Chen Cang thought for a moment, then said to him, ¡°After the child¡¯s illness is treated, he will be sent to a welfare institution. By then, I can help you file for adoption, but¡­ he needs education¡­¡±


    The homeless man nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll pick trash and send him to school.¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, these matters were beyond his control, but¡­ this genuine affection was indeed moving.


    In the office, the four were discussing the surgery plan and arrangements!


    The child was too young, and the situation was severe.


    Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t perform such surgery, not to mention he couldn¡¯t do it, there were very few in Dongyang who could.


    There was just too much involved.


    As everyone was discussing, Chen Cang also checked the data; this surgery covered too many procedures, including muscle release, tendon lengthening, tendon transfer, tendon fixation, bone shortening, bone excision, scar excision, pedicled nerve graft, skin flap transplant¡­ and so on, including more than thirty major and minor intricate surgeries!


    How could the current Chen Cang be capable of that?


    It wasn¡¯t just Chen Cang, even Tang Jinbo and Wang Yushan were constantly arguing about how to orderly carry out the surgery!


    The four engaged in a heated discussion!


    Nobody had expected that a gathering more than twenty years later would turn out to be such a scene.


    No laughter or cheer, no time to clink glasses; instead, a discussion about a difficult medical case and a surgery they would jointly undertake!


    Wang Yushan was still yelling at Tang Jinbo, the debate was heated. After a while, they all came to a conclusion:


    ¡°Parkes¡¯ surgery!¡±

 Chapter 500 - Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Mutual Admiration

    Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Mutual Admiration


    Parkes surgery is suitable for severe cases of Volkmann¡¯s ischemic contracture; the surgical difficulty is high and demands much from the surgeon.


    If the contracture is treated within six months to a year, when muscle and nerve function begins to recover, the results will be optimal.


    However, if it involves children, it might take more than a year before the procedure can be performed.


    According to Wang Yushan, the child¡¯s condition is unclear, but judging from the healing effect, the injury must have happened over a year ago.


    At this thought, everyone couldn¡¯t help feeling even more disheartened. How could the family have done nothing about an arm fracture for a year?


    And Chen Cang thought about the person outside the operating room¡ªthe only one who seemed to care about the child might be that homeless person.


    With that thought, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for the presence of this group of experts today, could the surgery even have been possible?


    Let alone him, who in Ammon could have performed it?


    But now was clearly not the time to dwell on this issue.


    After some discussion, everyone highly approved of the Parkes surgical method!


    Gu Hongmei took a deep breath, ¡°The child is still young; perhaps the recovery will be much better than in adults!¡±


    After preparations, while waiting for the lab results, Wang Yushan looked towards Chen Cang, ¡°Prepare the dynamic splint, traction, preferably the specialist ones for hand surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face turned red at the words; their operating room had only been established recently and might not be prepared.


    After some consideration, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of ¡®Skill Book¡¯ Tan Zhonglin.


    Luckily spending the weekend at home, Tan Zhonglin was making dumplings with his wife. When he saw the call from Chen Cang, he quickly picked up and, upon knowing Chen Cang¡¯s needs, put down his dumpling wrapper, shook off the flour from his body, and immediately set out.


    His wife despised it, thinking back then she should¡¯ve chosen the civil servant, Old He; by now, he had become a director!


    However, it was just a joke from his wife. Being a doctor¡¯s family member was never really a happy affair.


    Don¡¯t assume that marrying a doctor means you won¡¯t have to worry about getting sick.


    Actually, the truth is: if you marry a doctor, you should be more worried because¡­ he might not even have time to care for you when you¡¯re sick.


    But between spouses, mutual support and understanding have always been the way things are, she turned around and called out to Tan Zhonglin, ¡°Come back soon, I¡¯ll save some dumplings for you.¡±


    Tan Zhonglin smiled, turned, and left with a firmer step.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the operating room, on either side of the patient, stood the ¡°fantastic four¡± ¨C Wang Yushan, Tang Jinbo, Chang Honglei, and Gu Hongmei.


    They exchanged glances and nodded to each other!


    Their eyes were filled with passion.


    For the first time in over twenty years, they met, and it was on the operating table for such an important surgery.


    They all knew this was going to be a tough battle and a test.


    Wang Yushan cast a glance at Tang Jinbo, his eyes ablaze with combativeness, perhaps thinking that these years should have shown you where my progress lies!


    Tang Jinbo simply smiled faintly, having never fallen behind over the years.


    Chang Honglei and Gu Hongmei looked at the two of them and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    A leopard can¡¯t change its spots; upon meeting again, they were still the same.


    Neither would concede to the other!


    Yet, it was this very tenacity that made Wang Yushan the head of the Metropolitan Sixth Hospital and possibly the next candidate for academician.


    And it helped Tang Jinbo to create the Tang method and Tang¡¯s zones, becoming a master renowned both domestically and internationally.


    This surgery was a test for all four of them!


    After anesthesia, Wang Yushan made a longitudinal incision along the volar midline of the child¡¯s forearm¡­


    Gu Hongmei stood to one side, adeptly controlling bleeding, while Chang Honglei began to isolate the skin flap. Due to the reduced and less elastic tissue after ischemia and the extensive adhesions between the deep fascia and muscles, dissection was very difficult; however, Chang Honglei¡¯s technique seemed effortless yet was full of skill.


    It impressed all onlookers, who couldn¡¯t help but applaud!


    This was no longer a surgery one person could perform; it required several people to operate together, with each detail needing strict control and handling.


    ¡°Electrical stimulator!¡±


    ¡°Separate the tissues!¡±


    ¡°Separation forceps¡­¡±


    ¡­


    The tightly coordinated surgery and meticulous division of labor allowed everyone to play an irreplaceable role.


    Every step of the operation drew endless praise from the surrounding people!


    Even as a chief physician himself, Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help shaking his head, sometimes you just have to admit, the gap is indeed very clear.


    Monitor muscle contraction!


    Investigate the necrotic area.


    Investigate the median nerve¡­ the ulnar nerve¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Wang Yushan was indeed a formidable general, conquering cities and passing through challenges effortlessly.


    Everywhere he went was crystal clear and plainly understood!


    At that moment, Wang Yushan glanced over at Tang Jinbo.


    Tang Jinbo smiled slightly and took over the scalpel!


    Next, it was his time.


    ¡°Functional area reconstruction¡±


    Muscle function reconstruction!


    The excision and transplantation of extensor and flexor tendons.


    The suturing of the long flexor of the thumb¡­


    Every tendon was handled just right.


    Each woven suture was incredibly clever.


    The excision, transplantation, and repair of tendons!


    In his hands, these acts were as simple as retrieving something from a bag.


    If Wang Yushan was a general expanding territories, Tang Jinbo was the civil official enriching the country and ensuring the well-being of his people!


    The collaboration between the two made the entire surgery extraordinarily exciting.


    Similarly, the operations performed by Gu Hongmei and Chang Honglei were also extremely meticulous!


    The entire surgery was like an all-star peak performance, everyone working towards a common goal.


    Twenty years apart, reuniting on the operating table as brothers.


    The rapport of two decades had never been forgotten.


    The skills of the four surgeons left all the onlookers utterly enchanted.


    What defines a master?


    What defines a great expert!


    This was it!


    Jiang Tao and Li Yu were trembling, wondering when they too could stand at the operating table, commanding with such precision and authority!


    And how could Chen Cang not feel envious?


    For a long time¡­


    For a long time¡­


    The surgery ended.


    After the patient was safely transferred, the four looked at each other and smiled.


    This outcome was their best answer in twenty years!


    Wang Yushan looked up at Tang Jinbo and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Jinbo, you¡¯re really incredible.¡±


    ¡°You are the best I¡¯ve seen in reconstructive hand surgery!¡±


    Tang Jinbo also looked straight at Wang Yushan: ¡°In the field of orthopedic hand systems, you¡¯re the only one I admire!¡±


    In their eyes, there was not competition, but a sentiment known as mutual respect.


    Neither of them were content to play second fiddle.


    Neither was willing to work in the same place.


    But in their hearts, they both knew that the other was very strong, incredibly strong!


    Just then, Chen Cang heard a notification sound:


    [Ding! For resolving the old generation¡¯s hang-ups, you have obtained a perfect skill training: Scar Excision Technique!]


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!


    He looked incredulously at the golden Skill Book.


    His heart was filled with immense excitement!

    ps: Today I received many rewards from friends, thank you all very much. I¡¯m deeply grateful and it warms my heart.

 Chapter 501 - Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Coercing the Palace... (Two in One)

    Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Coercing the Palace¡­ (Two in One)


    ¡°`


    The next morning, in the conference room of the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Although it was Sunday, all the hospital leaders of the Second Provincial Hospital were present.


    Chen Cang and the ¡°Four Kings of Hand Surgery¡± sat in the office, facing many directors of the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Wang Yushan spoke first, ¡°Director Qin, we talked for a long time yesterday. The Second Provincial Hospital has the potential to develop the department of hand surgery. I hope we can work together to secure the special project plan approved by the National Natural Science Foundation next year.¡±


    Tang Jinbo nodded and said, ¡°Next year, there are two funding projects from the National Natural Science Foundation, each worth over one hundred million. We¡¯re thinking, when the time comes, to secure one of these projects and then conduct the research in partnership among our four hospitals.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan and the other leaders¡¯ eyes widened in surprise!


    A special project from the National Natural Science Foundation?


    A ¡°billion¡±-level research base is not something a general hospital could have. The First Hospital of Dongda and the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital had applied for tens of millions-level funding twice in the past few days and had not secured it.


    If the Second Provincial Hospital got this research project, it would be like boarding a flight taking off for the hospital¡¯s development!


    And, although Tang Jinbo mentioned making an effort, can you imagine?


    These are the four young dragons of domestic hand surgery. If they work together, one can only imagine their energy!


    Isn¡¯t this practically a sure thing?


    Immediately, Qin Xiaoyuan nodded and said solemnly, ¡°Rest assured, we will definitely go all out to support the smooth progress of this research work; however¡­ I wonder what we need to do?¡±


    Wang Yushan said, ¡°Actually, the project is still in preparation. We hope that the Second Provincial Hospital can set up a department of hand surgery. It doesn¡¯t need to be too big but should have around 60 beds and two operating rooms, fully staffed with talent. Of course, it¡¯s not for immediate construction. It would be good to have it completed before submitting the National Natural Science materials in March next year.¡±


    ¡°Mainly because the national special scientific research funding review is quite strict, there can be no sloppiness. If the Second Provincial Hospital doesn¡¯t have this research capability, I¡¯m worried that it won¡¯t get approved.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded. This is how it is with key projects; often, one bad apple spoils the barrel. Considering this rare opportunity for the Second Provincial Hospital, Qin Xiaoyuan naturally did not want to give it up.


    ¡°Rest assured, we will give it our all and cooperate well with this work, striving not to hold everyone back!¡± Qin Xiaoyuan promised.


    Tang Jinbo smiled, ¡°Actually, Director Qin shouldn¡¯t put too much pressure on himself. Building a department is not an overnight process; talent cultivation is still key.¡±


    Seeing everyone talking for a long time without getting to the point, Chang Honglei couldn¡¯t hold back and spoke directly, ¡°Our research direction this time mainly focuses on tendon repair and rehabilitation in hand surgery. We hope to establish a set of professional guidelines with promotional value.¡±


    ¡°And the main leads of the project will be: Tang Jinbo, Wang Yushan, myself, Gu Hongmei, and Chen Cang.¡±


    ¡°We five are the main leads and responsible persons of this project, and each of us has a designated hospital for research support. Chen Cang is the only one who doesn¡¯t have the necessary hardware for clinical research. What we mean is, we hope the Second Provincial Hospital can build a department for Chen Cang to carry out research and clinical work!¡±


    The statement was somewhat blunt.


    But it was an undeniable fact!


    Tang Jinbo is the Director of the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University and Head of Hand Surgery, Wang Yushan is the Deputy Director of the Sixth Hospital of Modu, Head of Hand Surgery, Chang Honglei and Gu Hongmei are the leaders of the Hand Surgery Department at Jishuitan.


    Only Chen Cang, he¡¯s just a junior doctor in the emergency department!


    Submitting this information would obviously make people laugh.


    The Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s leaders present felt somewhat embarrassed.


    However, as unpleasant as Chang Honglei¡¯s words were, they had to listen, because this was the main medium the Second Provincial Hospital now wanted to catch a ride on the high-speed express.


    Wang Yushan looked at Chang Honglei, couldn¡¯t help but shake his head; she hadn¡¯t changed a bit. Observing the silent crowd from the Second Provincial Hospital, Wang Yushan said, ¡°Actually, special talents should be used in special ways. In the field of tendon suturing, Chen Cang¡¯s talent is the best I¡¯ve ever seen, even better than us, better than Tang Jinbo!¡±


    Tang Jinbo glanced at Wang Yushan. Was it necessary to compete?


    Wang Yushan ignored him and continued, ¡°Therefore, I have a suggestion. For the new hand surgery department, pick two directors. One is the regular department director, and the other is Chen Cang. This would be more effective for carrying out related work.¡±


    As soon as these words came out, silence fell around them!


    The other directors looked at each other. Building a department for Chen Cang?


    ¡°`


    Tan Liguo also felt uneasy. After all, establishing a new department requires a significant amount of capital¡ªat least several thousands to start with¡ªand if Chen Cang, as the new director, failed to secure the planned funding¡­


    Qin Xiaoyuan glanced around and suddenly pretended to scowl!


    Why wouldn¡¯t he be happy? Chen Cang¡¯s promotion was a good thing, and Qin Xiaoyuan had long wanted to promote him but just¡­ never found the opportunity or reason.


    Promotions within such institutions are rather complicated and definitely not the same as in private companies.


    Chang Honglei saw that everyone was silent and immediately said, ¡°Everyone¡­ are you unwilling?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face almost couldn¡¯t hold back!


    Willing! Why wouldn¡¯t we be willing!


    However, after looking at Tan Liguo and the other vice-presidents, Qin Xiaoyuan thought it best to hold back a bit longer. He knew that if he held back, the other party would start applying pressure. Then, when he stepped in, wouldn¡¯t everything fall into place?


    Sure enough!


    Chang Honglei continued, ¡°Actually, if Chen Cang is not able to take charge, we won¡¯t include the Second Provincial Hospital in it, because we can do it ourselves, and Chen Cang can also participate in an individual capacity.¡±


    At that point, everyone exchanged glances. Indeed, that was the case!


    Qin Xiaoyuan felt the timing was right and, looking at his colleagues around him, quickly nodded, ¡°Yes, we¡¯ll definitely establish the relevant departments and recruit talent as soon as possible. Little Chen will surely become the head of the department and the project. I can guarantee that!¡±


    ¡°We will all do our utmost to ensure the smooth progress of this plan! Right?¡± Qin Xiaoyuan glanced at the other deans.


    Everyone nodded in agreement!


    But¡­ after a while, the other vice-presidents looked at each other incredulously, and Tan Liguo scratched his head, feeling that something was amiss.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    And so, under the leadership of the four great kings of the hand surgery department, Chen Cang would soon be smoothly renamed ¡°Director Chen,¡± a head of department who didn¡¯t need to go to the department every day but only needed to assign tasks.


    Although it seemed a bit like a coup to the Second Provincial Hospital.


    If they didn¡¯t build a hand surgery department for Chen Cang to lead, you couldn¡¯t dream of joining the research team.


    Yes, we are threatening you.


    This made Chen Cang feel quite warm at heart, actually.


    After all, the ¡°Four Great Kings of Hand Surgery¡± were so supportive, and Chen Cang was very grateful.


    In fact¡­ what Chen Cang wanted to say was that there was no need for threats among our own people. After all, could his father-in-law really not let him advance in his career?


    Impossible!


    Of course, these words from Chang Hongmei were mainly for others to hear, to let them know that Chen Cang was a key figure and the leader of tasks and projects, who must occupy a pivotal position.


    This would dissuade them from the idea of marginalizing Chen Cang and discourage any interference with the development of the hand surgery department.


    Turned out to be a rather good approach.


    Chen Cang, listening, felt quite satisfied!


    As for the head of the hand surgery department, he didn¡¯t want to take on that role either. He knew¡­ he wasn¡¯t capable of it yet, as the hand surgery skill tree hadn¡¯t even been unlocked. Faced with a patient from the previous day, he would be at a loss.


    Actually, an experienced and senior doctor would be more suited for the role of the department head!


    Moreover, Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to be tied down to a single path in hand surgery.


    Perhaps this was the best choice now?


    Fame and fortune?


    Delightful!


    Looking at his father-in-law opposite, who was already smiling like a flower in his heart, yet maintained an undisturbed expression on his face, Chen Cang had to admit defeat¡ªginger is indeed spicier when it¡¯s old!


    If it weren¡¯t for his continuously rising goodwill, he almost believed it¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Wang Yushan and the others didn¡¯t stay too long either. After lunch with the crowd from the Second Provincial Hospital, they left early.


    After all, they were all busy with many things, and couldn¡¯t just come and go as they pleased.


    Their responsibilities and duties were still plentiful, and for someone like Tang Jinbo to be able to come out for two days was not easy.


    This certainly reflected the importance they placed on the matter.


    At noon, Old Qin was slightly tipsy!


    He returned home humming a little tune, and as soon as he entered the door, Ji Ruyun detected the smell of alcohol and glared at Qin Xiaoyuan.


    ¡°You¡¯re drinking again! Drinking every day, day in and day out, do you not value your life?¡± Ji Ruyun said unhappily.


    Qin Yue also came running out: ¡°Dad, why are you drinking again?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan waved his hand, smiling and saying, ¡°I¡¯m happy today, had a few drinks, not much.¡±


    Ji Ruyun poured a cup of tea and asked, ¡°What happened? You¡¯re this happy?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan gave a secretive smile: ¡°It¡¯s naturally a good thing!¡±


    Qin Yue, who was a bit of a gossip, also squatted down beside, waiting for Qin Xiaoyuan to speak.


    Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes: ¡°Out with it!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan didn¡¯t mind and chuckled: ¡°Little Chen ah, he¡¯s about to become a department head!¡±


    The moment he said this, Ji Ruyun and Qin Yue were both stunned.


    Department head?


    Public hospitals aren¡¯t this casual, are they?


    Just become a department head like that?


    Since they all worked within the system, they naturally knew what was going on!


    Ji Ruyun immediately became interested: ¡°What exactly happened, tell me!¡±


    Qin Yue stood up straight away, moved behind Old Qin, and started massaging his shoulders, fawning over him: ¡°Dad, please tell us!¡±


    Old Qin suddenly wasn¡¯t pleased, How come you guys are so thrilled when I mention Chen Cang, eh?


    Isn¡¯t that¡­ a bit too opportunistic?


    Do you know that my feelings are getting hurt?


    However, it was clear that both of them glossed over Old Qin¡¯s feelings, uninterested.


    Qin Xiaoyuan shook his head helplessly before saying, ¡°Wang Yushan, Tang Jinbo, they want to set up a research team with Little Chen, to secure next year¡¯s National Natural Science Foundation special project funding. They want the Second Provincial Hospital to join! If we can really get in, that would mean a ¡®billion-level¡¯ research team, and the Second Provincial Hospital would naturally ride the coattails to success.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyun¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°That¡¯s great news for the development of the Second Provincial Hospital!¡±


    If the Second Provincial Hospital could advance to another level, it would be even better for Qin Xiaoyuan. Who knows, he might even climb further before retirement!


    Ji Ruyun straightforwardly said, ¡°Who would refuse such a good opportunity?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan laughed heartily: ¡°They want us to establish a hand surgery department and have Little Chen be the director, which of course some people are not happy about.¡±


    ¡°But when they firmly insisted that if Chen Cang wasn¡¯t in charge, they wouldn¡¯t let the Second Provincial Hospital join, who wouldn¡¯t want to get on this easy ride? This left everyone with no choice!¡±


    ¡°Later on, they decided to select two department heads, one was the normal department director, and one was Little Chen.¡±


    ¡°What do you say, isn¡¯t it a good thing?¡±


    Ji Ruyun¡¯s eyes sparkled, and she suddenly smiled: ¡°This is good for both you and Little Chen but¡­ you didn¡¯t give yourself away, did you?¡±


    Old Qin slapped his thigh and laughed heartily: ¡°Who am I? But honestly, I almost burst out laughing at the time. You have no idea about the atmosphere back then; I was hoping there would be no chance for Little Chen to be promoted. But now, things just naturally fell into place, and that group of people had nothing to say about it.¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s eyes twinkled with excitement: ¡°Of course, who¡¯s my dad? That¡¯s the cunning and shrewd Director Qin!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but gently pat Qin Yue¡¯s head: ¡°Little rascal, is that how you praise your dad?¡±


    Qin Yue giggled.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    News traveled fast, and by the time Monday rolled around and Chen Cang entered the department, everyone began addressing him as ¡°Director Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang was momentarily confused and scratched his head, ¡°Just a few days ago, wasn¡¯t I still called ¡®Director Chen¡¯? It¡¯s only been a few days, and now I¡¯m ¡®Little Director Chen¡¯, that¡¯s a two-rank demotion at once!¡±


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    Setting up a department isn¡¯t something that happens overnight, and it didn¡¯t have much to do with Chen Cang; it was a matter for the hospital authorities.


    As for Chen Cang, life had to go on!


    He checked rooms during the day without missing a single one.


    The surgeries in the afternoon were the same.


    However, the name Chen Cang became well-known in the hospital, and everyone who saw him addressed him as ¡°Director Chen,¡± which he found somewhat disconcerting.


    In the system, there are no walls that can keep secrets forever. Regardless of the matter, it always spreads quickly!


    But the issue of titles didn¡¯t really matter.


    Around four in the afternoon, Teacher Meng called, but it was Xia Gaofeng who answered the phone.


    ¡°Little Chen, there are two major vascular surgeries tonight; come over. The competition is at the end of December, so let¡¯s make the most of our time,¡± said Xia Gaofeng.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes shone brightly. To be personally mentored by Director Xia was an opportunity he couldn¡¯t miss.


    With that thought, Chen Cang quickly nodded, ¡°Alright, Director, I¡¯ll come early.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Qin Yue emerged from the back with a teasing tone: ¡°It wasn¡¯t a woman?¡±


    Chen Cang immediately rolled his eyes: ¡°you see see you, one day day¡¯s, what are you thinking?¡±


    Qin Yue pouted: ¡°I¡¯ve heard that your teacher is named Meng Youliao!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face flushed with embarrassment¡­

    ps: Thanks to little friend Butterfly Dance 1225 for the 10,000 reward! Thank you for the support!


    Only one chapter for noon, it¡¯s a combination of two, and without realizing it, we¡¯ve reached 500 chapters, a milestone. Let¡¯s keep going!

 Chapter 502 - Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Think Before You Speak!

    Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Think Before You Speak!


    Qin Xiaotian stared at Chen Cang with her big eyes and said with a smile, ¡°Getting nervous? Feeling guilty? Come on, spit it out!¡±


    Chen Cang dissembled, ¡°Nervous? Why would I feel guilty?¡±


    Qin Xiaotian sneered, ¡°You forgot to close your WeChat on the computer again, didn¡¯t you?¡±


    A faint smile appeared on Chen Cang¡¯s face,


    while internally he cursed.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care, I have nothing to feel guilty about¡­¡±


    Upon hearing him, Qin Yue thought, Ah, look at how capable you are.


    Recently, Ji Ruyun had been teaching Qin Yue all the time that a woman should be both rough and fine with a man, flexible but firm, maintaining a balance.


    Qin Xiaotian felt that she should enhance her girlfriend¡¯s self-cultivation.


    Suddenly, Qin Yue was no longer fixated on who Meng Youliao was, but¡­ curious about why the nickname Meng Youliao was used.


    Although she was very curious about what the chat history was, Qin Yue was not the kind of person who liked to snoop into other people¡¯s privacy.


    Qin Yue widened her eyes, unable to help herself, she asked, ¡°Why is she called by that name?¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s mind was whirring at the speed of 72 million revolutions¡­ just like that: ¡°Meng teacher graduated from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and is the only person from Dongyang to have published in The Lancet, possessing profound knowledge and endless insights, hence the name Meng Youliao!¡±


    He felt he hadn¡¯t lied, as he had stated all that needed to be said and had faithfully restored the truth of the matter.


    Qin Yue nodded slightly, Oh¡­ that seemed like a plausible explanation.


    However, she immediately narrowed her eyes, ¡°Then why am I called Qin Xiaotian, huh?¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Qin Xiaotian, whose eyes were fierce, hiding a sword that could fly through the air and decapitate him from miles away, and his legs shook. He nearly kneeled in submission!


    Damn, I¡¯m wrong, my dear.


    Qin Yue scoffed, ¡°Go on, talk your way out of this one!¡±


    After thinking hard for a long time and coming up with nothing, Chen Cang finally squeezed out a sentence: ¡°Xiao, it means cute. Look, Xiao Ming, Kitty, Puppy¡­¡±


    ¡°Ouch, my bad, dear, oh¡­ bad bird, bad bird, bad bird¡­¡±


    If the doors of the duty room were not opened, Chen Cang would have no idea whether tomorrow¡¯s weather would be sunny or cloudy¡­


    However¡­ after Li Baoshan came in, he looked around, saw but ignored it, and then turned and left.


    Qin Yue¡¯s face turned red, and she quickly stood up, saying to Chen Cang, ¡°I¡¯m not satisfied with this nickname!¡±


    Chen Cang, feeling aggrieved, asked, ¡°Then what should it be changed to?¡±


    Qin Yue glared, ¡°Think of it yourself! I¡¯ll check tomorrow!¡±


    After saying that, she left.


    Chen Cang sighed, Women¡­ women¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    It was still early, so instead of going directly to Dongda First Hospital, Chen Cang went out to buy some milk and a pile of toys and then headed for the orthopedics ward on the sixth floor.


    Tao Zi hired a caregiver, specifically to take care of the child¡¯s daily life.


    The caregiver, an aunt in her fifties, had been working here for four or five years to alleviate her child¡¯s mortgage pressure, bringing with her extensive experience.


    Next to her was a chair that could be extended, which was Tao Hancai¡¯s bed.


    Oddly enough, the child didn¡¯t cry or fuss when he saw Tao Hancai and even liked to smile.


    After Chen Cang arrived, the young nurses greeted him with a smile: ¡°Director Chen, hello!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled back and greeted them before heading into the room.


    The child was awake now, lying in bed with Tao Hancai.


    Chen Cang greeted the nurse, ¡°No crying or fussing?¡±


    The nurse nodded, ¡°Yes¡­ such a good kid. Hasn¡¯t cried or fussed since arriving, even with the pain. Most kids would have lost their patience by now.¡±


    Children¡¯s bones are relatively soft, while the elderly have more brittle bones, so it¡¯s common for the Orthopedics Department to see children with fractures. The nurse had seen many such cases. Chen Cang looked at the little one in his blue and white striped patient¡¯s outfit, watching him curiously with big eyes. The child¡¯s right hand was immobilized, and his left thumb was stuck in his mouth¡ªadorable to the extreme!


    Who could resist melting at the sight?


    With the police still unable to find the child¡¯s parents, Chen Cang, looking at Tao Hancai who was all smiles, suddenly felt that the child might not suffer if he stayed with him.


    Chen Cang placed a pile of food in the corner and said to Tao Hancai, ¡°I bought this for the kid.¡±


    Tao Hancai quickly got up, bowed, and then pointed at Chen Cang while making ¡®ah ah¡¯ sounds to the child. The little one¡¯s eyes followed Chen Cang curiously and suddenly broke into a smile, looking extremely cute.


    Even Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help wanting to take him away.


    He sat there playing with the child for a while, placing the toys on the bed. The child was so happy that he wanted to grab them but was quickly restrained by Tao Hancai, who was worried about harming his hand.


    After sitting for a while, as Chen Cang was about to leave, the child stood up and reached out for Chen Cang to hold him.


    Chen Cang was taken aback at once.


    He turned around and carefully picked the child up, the child giggling continuously.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Around five o¡¯clock, since there wasn¡¯t much going on in the department, Chen Cang headed to Dongda First Hospital.


    There were two aortic aneurysm surgeries scheduled for the evening. Director Xia Gaofeng intended to use these procedures to give Chen Cang an understanding of aortic blood vessel repairs.


    There weren¡¯t many people in the department. Scholar Two was organizing medical records and smiled when he saw Chen Cang, nodding, ¡°Chen¡¯s here!¡±


    ¡°Director Xia is in the OR. You can go straight there.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded in thanks and headed directly to the operating room.


    This was the nature of surgery, where during busy times, your whole day could be spent in the OR.


    Chen Cang had just arrived at the OR when Director Xia and the others came out. Seeing Chen Cang, Xia Gaofeng smiled, ¡°Chen¡¯s here. Go eat first; after dinner, we¡¯ve got two or three surgeries tonight.¡±


    With gratitude, Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Thank you, Director Xia!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng shook his head with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. You¡¯re like my student. I¡¯d gladly give you all I know.¡±


    Behind him, Ge Huai felt a twinge of sorrow upon hearing this.


    Director Meng doesn¡¯t want me anymore, now my teacher is abandoning me too. Why is my life filled with such hardship?


    A surgical meal is a feature of every hospital, and Chen Cang felt that the meal provided at the Provincial Second Hospital fell short of Dongda First Hospital by a chicken leg!


    Chen Cang ate quickly and, feeling unsatisfied, grabbed another portion¡­


    That¡¯s right!


    Lately, for some reason, possibly due to an overall increase in physical strength, his appetite had grown substantially¡ªquite logical, really.


    Fortunately, the surgical meals were typically ordered in excess, so there were usually a few extra portions. If there was no time to eat due to surgeries, there was always the option to warm up a late snack in the microwave.


    Seeing how much Chen Cang could eat, Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but laugh as well, ¡°Youth is great. Back in my day, I had to eat two portions of the cafeteria food!¡±


    Ge Huai suddenly paused upon hearing this!


    Glancing at Xia Gaofeng, he hesitated. Teacher¡­ when I used to eat two portions, you called me a glutton and even said eating so much would tire me out during surgery?


    Why did it seem different when it came to Chen Cang?


    ¡­


    ¡­

 Chapter 503 - Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Let Him Come!

    Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Let Him Come!


    In the operating room, Xia Gaofeng was the chief surgeon, Meng Xi assisted, and Ge Huai was the surgical assistant, while Chen Cang observed from the side.


    Xia Gaofeng looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, to perform cardiac surgery, you first need a thorough understanding of the heart and major blood vessels.¡±


    ¡°Because, in plain terms, surgery is about the structure, the rational segmentation of the body¡¯s tissue structure and function!¡±


    ¡°Ultimately, there are only two goals, the first is to excise the pathological tissue; the second is to repair the damaged tissue!¡±


    ¡°Actually, the heart is just like that. You might say it¡¯s dangerous, indeed quite tricky, but if you do it often, it may not seem much different from pork, just a few layers of tissue to slowly repair.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng¡¯s words made Chen Cang smile and nod. It made sense, but that very thing was enough for some people to study for a lifetime.


    After the surgery had started, Chen Cang immediately saw the gap.


    When Teacher Meng operated, he was fully focused, not uttering a word more than necessary.


    But Xia Gaofeng was relaxed and carefree, turning a highly complex surgery into something as simple as a minor procedure in his hands!


    He didn¡¯t stop explaining, ¡°If you want to do well in vascular surgery, you must understand the aorta! It is the main artery of the systemic circulation.


    See here? Coming out of the left ventricle, it¡¯s called the ascending aorta. After a certain distance, this part here¡­ is the aortic arch, which you can see is right around the fourth thoracic vertebra and becomes the descending aorta.


    Further down is the abdominal aorta, left, right common iliac arteries¡­¡±


    Even though Chen Cang was quite knowledgeable about the circulatory system, he listened very attentively.


    At this time, Xia Gaofeng carefully cleared the tumor mass with the surgical scalpel, but looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Do you see? The biggest difference between the ascending aorta and the arch is¡­ the ascending aorta comes out from the left ventricle. If there¡¯s damage here, it can easily lead to pericardial congestion, inducing cardiac tamponade, so¡­ compared to damage to the descending aorta, the ascending aorta is more lethal.¡±


    ¡­


    Xia Gaofeng explained in great detail!


    In Chen Cang¡¯s mind, he also continually explored based on Xia Gaofeng¡¯s explanations.


    Surgery isn¡¯t something you learn piece by piece; Chen Cang¡¯s descending aorta repair surgery was at a master¡¯s level, he didn¡¯t have the skill for ascending aorta repair surgery, but that didn¡¯t mean he couldn¡¯t perform an ascending aorta operation.


    Understanding one technique illuminates a hundred!


    After understanding what to watch out for with the ascending aorta, Chen Cang, through his own insight, could already complete an operation, although he might miss many details.


    What Xia Gaofeng taught was all about the details.


    Chen Cang concentrated and earnestly reflected on this.


    After an operation had finished, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system¡¯s notification sound!


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have intuitively grasped the Cardiovascular Skill: Ascending Aorta Repair Surgery: Beginner, and you have received one free skill point.]


    Chen Cang was immediately overjoyed!


    Although it was only at a beginner¡¯s level, to receive the system¡¯s recognition meant he had passed the system¡¯s test.


    He was even awarded a skill point!


    Indeed, this was quite good.


    After the operation had concluded, it was already past eight o¡¯clock. Everyone took a short break, then prepared to start the second operation. For Chen Cang, the operations that night were one after another learning experience.


    After three operations had concluded, around eleven, Xia Gaofeng looked at Chen Cang and said seriously,


    ¡°Xiao Chen, in truth, the surgeries you watched today aren¡¯t representative!¡±


    ¡°Cardiothoracic major vessel surgeries are a common type of intrathoracic hemorrhage disease seen in your emergency department, but you simply won¡¯t have the chance or the time to watch such operations. Those are surgeries where you race against time and life.¡±


    ¡°Such diseases are rare, but when they occur, they are life-threatening operations, so, you must be careful in the future.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    The night was highly rewarding for Chen Cang, as he heard many details of the surgery, which were the essence of Xia Gaofeng¡¯s years of surgical experience.


    Not only applicable to Chen Cang, but Meng Xi and Ge Huai also benefited greatly.


    The group exited the operating room, and Xia Gaofeng was the first to head home.


    The white coat was sent to the ward by Ge Huai.


    Chen Cang and Meng Xi walked side by side, and after descending the stairs, they suddenly heard a series of 120 emergency ambulance sirens blaring.


    A full three vehicles drove up!


    Chen Cang and Meng Xi glanced at each other and quickly entered the emergency department.


    They just saw Wang Xiangjun and four or five doctors waiting in full readiness.


    Meng Xi took the initiative to ask, ¡°Director Wang, is there a task?¡±


    Wang Xiangjun¡¯s brow furrowed with urgency, ¡°A traffic accident, two sedans collided, three people were sent here, and two others were sent to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.¡±


    Wang Xiangjun turned to see Chen Cang, and immediately nodded, ¡°Is little Chen here too?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, seeing a large question mark appear above Wang Xiangjun¡¯s head, his mind moved, he nodded and said, ¡°Director Wang, shall we stay and help?¡±


    Wang Xiangjun¡¯s impression of Chen Cang greatly improved upon hearing this!


    [Ding! Wang Xiangjun¡¯s favorability +5!]


    Wang Xiangjun looked appreciatively at Chen Cang and nodded, ¡°Then we¡¯ll be counting on you two.¡±


    [Ding! Task triggered, help Wang Xiangjun handle the rescue operation for this traffic accident, upon completion, receive reward: Wang Xiangjun¡¯s passive skill: Expertise in Emergency Medication (Master level).]


    Chen Cang heard the system prompt but before he could rejoice, the emergency department doctors rushed towards the 120 ambulances.


    Chen Cang also hurriedly followed!


    Traffic accident rescue, every second counts.


    Chen Cang and Meng Xi followed closely behind.


    Soon, the three patients were brought to the emergency rescue room.


    The nurses had already prepared the ECG monitors, and three rescue boxes were arranged to one side, all set for the rescue!


    As the designated emergency center for Anyang City, East University Hospital bears a much heavier burden than the Provincial Second Hospital!


    Three patients were simultaneously prepared for rescue.


    Inside the rescue room, the tension was incomparable!


    The machines were beeping alarms incessantly.


    Doctors were continually observing metrics, preparing to issue medical orders.


    Chen Cang and Meng Xi stood by without intervening.


    It wasn¡¯t that they didn¡¯t want to intervene, but it wasn¡¯t time yet, abruptly joining in now would not only be unhelpful but could instead disrupt the normal rescue order!


    Meanwhile, Wang Xiangjun was shuttling among them, after checking on one patient, he kept issuing orders, instructing all aspects.


    Thinking it over, Chen Cang followed Wang Xiangjun, and at that moment, an alarm suddenly went off at bed 1!


    Wang Xiangjun and Chen Cang¡¯s faces changed, and they hurriedly gathered around!


    ¡°Blood pressure: 50/20mmHg!¡±


    ¡°Cardiac arrest!¡±


    ¡°Prepare for cardiopulmonary resuscitation!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun rushed over to look and his face immediately changed, ¡°Cardiac tamponade! Prepare for pericardiocentesis! Do not perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation!¡±


    The nurse quickly nodded and stepped back!


    At that moment, Chen Cang urgently said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡±


    The emergency physician looked at Chen Cang, glanced at Wang Xiangjun, somewhat puzzled.


    Wang Xiangjun nodded firmly, ¡°Let him do it!¡±

 Chapter 504 - Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Savior

    Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Savior


    Wang Xiangjun, a seasoned veteran of the emergency room, immediately recognized this as pericardial tamponade and timely stopped the cardiopulmonary resuscitation!


    In cases of pericardial tamponade, even if cardiac arrest occurs, one cannot use chest compressions, because not only will it not be successful in resuscitation, but it will also worsen the progression of the condition!


    Wang Xiangjun quickly organized the rescue efforts.


    ¡°Ultrasound guidance!¡±


    ¡°Prepare the operating room!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun issued orders methodically!


    At this moment, one could see the high efficiency and teamwork of the emergency department, with all examinations promptly in place.


    Chen Cang¡¯s pericardiocentesis was even more precise than Meng Xi¡¯s, who stepped forward to assist in aspirating the fluid.


    Under precise ultrasound guidance, Chen Cang performed the puncture directly, and Meng Xi began to draw blood!


    After nearly 150 ml of blood had been drawn out, the process took less than a minute, Chen Cang then turned to Wang Xiangjun and said, ¡°Director Wang, it won¡¯t do, the estimated blood loss is still substantial, there might be injury to the aorta, prepare for a thoracotomy!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangjun¡¯s expression changed at once:


    ¡°Prepare for emergency resuscitation room surgery!¡±


    No sooner had he spoken than three nurses hurriedly set off to ready the instruments.


    And just at that moment, a sudden intense wail rose from bed five.


    ¡°Ah, it¡¯s killing me! It hurts so much!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun immediately hurried over, at this time, pain was a good sign, indicating that shock had not yet set in.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang, undistracted, was already prepared for thoracotomy!


    Even amid the surrounding chaos, not a minute of the resuscitation work could be delayed!


    Chen Cang expertly opened the chest, with Meng Xi assisting at his side!


    As soon as the thorax was opened, both their expressions changed!


    So much blood.


    How much blood had been lost!


    And not only that, but a stream of arterial blood suddenly sprayed out, directly covering the face of a young nurse with blood!


    Yet the nurse remained poised and calm, wiped her face with her sleeve, leaving streaks of blood on her face, but without a hint of panic or unease, she calmly handed instruments to Chen Cang.


    At that moment, in the blink of an eye, Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed, and he saw a red name flash before his eyes, and without a second thought, he grasped it with his hand!


    The blood flow ceased instantly.


    Everyone was stunned, impressed by the show of bare-handed hemostasis, wondering how he found the bleeding point!


    In the meantime, Meng Xi took advantage of this and began opening the pericardium, while another doctor started washing out with a syringe.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped!


    This was the resuscitation room, not an operating theatre, and there was no irrigation equipment!


    There was no extracorporeal circulation machine either.


    At that moment, the patient¡¯s heart had stopped!


    For them, every minute was incredibly precious!


    They had to carry out pericardial decompression within a few minutes, and then proceed with cardiac massage!


    Otherwise, compressions at this time would only aggravate the already fragile wound.


    There was no time to get to the operating room, a few minutes of preparation could cost the patient their life.


    Now, for every one of them, it was a race against the clock.


    The patient¡¯s time was running out¡­


    Anxiety and nervousness were written on everyone¡¯s faces.


    The young nurse had no time to care for herself, her busy sweat mixing with the bloodstains on her face.


    Meng Xi skillfully opened the pericardium, and blood immediately began to flow out!


    Chen Cang wore a look of relief!


    He turned to the emergency room doctor at his side and said, ¡°Start cardiopulmonary resuscitation!¡±


    This kind of cardiac massage after opening the chest was, in everyone¡¯s eyes, a different kind of spectacle.


    Chen Cang¡¯s hands gripped the blood vessel, cautious and careful!


    The doctor, without any hesitation, began the cardiopulmonary resuscitation.


    Fear?


    Nonexistent!


    There was no time for fear.


    Fear was for after the patient was truly beyond saving, or for worrying about it after they had been resuscitated!


    Now there was no time.


    Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was only performed twice when the patient¡¯s heart resumed beating.


    Initially, the main cause of the abrupt cessation was likely due to the immense pressure from a massive cardiac tamponade.


    After the pericardium was opened, the resistance in the heart was gone, and with the help of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the heart gradually began to beat.


    However, due to a significant amount of ischemia, the blood pressure was still very low.


    At this time, after the blood bank completed the blood type matching, the crossmatched blood was finally delivered.


    And now, it was necessary to get the patient to the operating room!


    The on-call cardiothoracic surgeon hurried down, joining Chen Cang, and the three of them were just about to head to the operating room!


    At this moment, a violent bout of vomiting erupted from the resuscitation room, and Chen Cang¡¯s face changed instantly. He said to Meng Xi, ¡°Meng teacher, you go ahead to the surgery, I¡¯ll check what else is happening!¡±


    Meng Xi nodded without any argument!


    Three critical patients were brought in, each one in grave danger.


    At this time, in the early hours of the morning, many doctors could not arrive immediately.


    And the emergency department¡¯s manpower was ultimately limited.


    The cardiothoracic surgery for major vascular repair was sufficient with Meng Xi and Ge Huai!


    But unknown dangers, unknown diseases, and unknown challenges were all waiting for each doctor in the emergency department!


    At this moment, the optimal allocation of resources was the important choice.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t think twice before turning around and heading over.


    ¡°He¡¯s in shock!¡±


    At this moment, Wang Xiangjun was truly anxious.


    The ultrasound physician looked at the images, his heart sinking, ¡°Director! The liver is ruptured, and there¡¯s also massive abdominal bleeding. Prepare for surgery immediately!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun nodded hurriedly, ¡°Prepare the operating room!¡±


    At this time, Wang Xiangjun felt a surge of weariness. The surgery to repair a ruptured liver was major surgery. Looking at the anxious hepatobiliary surgeon beside him, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°When will Dean Qian arrive?¡±


    The hepatobiliary surgeon said, ¡°Soon, about seven or eight minutes, I guess!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangjun became impatient, ¡°Prepare for the surgery, blood bank, get the crossmatched blood ready!¡±


    Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Director, I can perform the liver rupture surgery!¡±


    Hearing this, those around cast their eyes on him in observation.


    For this was the very person who had just led the pre-resuscitation work for patient number one.


    And now, he claimed he could perform a liver rupture repair surgery!


    Liver repair surgery was a complex procedure, a level-four surgery!


    Chen Cang¡¯s training was in an incomplete version!


    But at this time, even an incomplete, or even a disabled version had to be put to use!


    Wang Xiangjun, upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, felt like he had heard the gospel from God, and looked up instantly.


    It seemed that this young man was not helping him for the first time.


    Wang Xiangjun was elated beyond belief, marveling whether the emergency department at Provincial Hospital No. 2 was really that remarkable?


    But now was not the time to think about that!


    Wang Xiangjun looked at Chen Cang with a delighted expression, repeating three times, ¡°Good! Good! Good!¡±


    After saying this, he addressed the emergency and hepatobiliary surgeons, ¡°All of you, fully cooperate with Dr. Chen, and do the resuscitation work well!¡±


    The two immediately nodded!


    Now was not the time to dilly-dally.


    The mortality rate for liver rupture was extremely high!


    Because the liver received a dual blood supply and had abundant blood flow, as well as the ability to produce and drain bile, any damage to the liver could have severe consequences!


    Bleeding could directly lead to hemorrhagic shock.


    And bile leakage could cause severe biliary peritonitis.


    Bleeding + infection + unknown complications = what?


    It¡¯s obvious!


    Any of these could endanger the patient¡¯s life.


    Therefore, at this time, the eyes of the two looking at Chen Cang were filled with the hope one would have for a savior.


    They hoped that Chen Cang could hold out until Qian Liang got back!

    Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Advanced Barehanded Hemostasis! (Subscribe please!)


    In a hospital, unlike in other places, saying ¡°I can¡± is much more difficult than saying ¡°I don¡¯t know how¡±!


    From medical students to professors and experts in medicine,


    no one would claim they ¡°can¡± do something they are not confident about!


    That statement ¡°I can¡± carries a substantial weight.


    It implies that others will trust you, support you, and assist you in doing the upcoming rescue work.


    To tell a patient ¡°I can¡± means the patient will place unconditional trust in you.


    All this, simply because your profession is ¡°doctor¡±!


    So, when Chen Cang said ¡°I can,¡± whether it was Fan Tai from the emergency department or Yue Wenqing from hepatobiliary surgery, both felt a wave of delight!


    It was as if, in a moment of life-threatening crisis when one felt helpless, suddenly someone reached out a helping hand.


    Of course, this could not have happened without Wang Xiangjun¡¯s recognition of Chen Cang!


    They hurriedly took the patient into the operating room.


    Although a minor subcapsular liver rupture can be cured with close observation and non-surgical treatment,


    for patients with massive bleeding and suspected biliary leakage into the abdominal cavity causing infection, surgery is the only chance of rescue!


    At this moment, no one could afford to let their guard down.


    The blood transfusion department doctors rushed over, ready with cross-matched blood, while the instrument nurses and anesthesiologists¡­ everyone was well-prepared, poised for the best pre-rescue deployment.


    Before the operation, resuscitation measures had already been taken in the operating room!


    Wang Xiangjun didn¡¯t even bother changing his clothes or scrubbing in, he ran straight into the operating room in his white coat, doing all kinds of pre-surgery preparations!


    Blood preparation, transfusion!


    Fluid replenishment!


    Oxygenation!


    Correction of electrolyte imbalance!


    Maintenance of acid-base balance!


    Protecting kidney function, preventing kidney failure¡­


    A series of preoperative preparations were like making early arrangements for the battle to come.


    Just as Chen Cang and the others entered the operating room, the patient¡¯s blood pressure finally stabilized, which allowed everyone in the operating room to breathe a sigh of relief.


    If the patient¡¯s condition could not be stabilized, and the blood pressure failed to rise, the ensuing surgery would carry great risks!


    Preoperative preparations were especially crucial!


    After anesthesia, Chen Cang decisively took the scalpel from the nurse¡¯s hand!


    At that moment, including Wang Xiangjun, the three people inside as well as every medical staff member around, all turned their eyes to Chen Cang!


    Although Wang Xiangjun was very willing to believe in Chen Cang, but¡­ how should it be put?


    It was complicated!


    Even Yue Wenqing, a specialist in hepatobiliary surgery, did not dare to claim he could perform a liver rupture repair surgery, but Chen Cang dared!


    Was this confidence?


    There was definitely an element of boldness involved.


    But Wang Xiangjun hoped more that Chen Cang truly knew how.


    He hoped that Chen Cang would bring him a pleasant surprise, as he had done before.


    Chen Cang did not hesitate, nor did he show any anxiety, but took up the scalpel and made a gentle incision along the predetermined line, creating a slanted long cut extended from beneath the xiphoid process directly to the right anterior axillary line.


    A ¡°J¡± shaped incision appeared!


    At that moment, the abdominal cavity was full of blood, some of which had already clotted.


    Chen Cang turned to Yue Wenqing, ¡°Can we proceed?¡±


    Understanding Chen Cang¡¯s meaning, Yue Wenqing looked at Chen Cang with a firm gaze and nodded seriously, ¡°No problem!¡±


    ¡°Suction!¡±


    ¡°Gauze!¡±


    Yue Wenqing skillfully began the lavage preparations, having assisted in such operations before, though he himself did not perform liver rupture repairs.


    Now, decisive control of bleeding and exploring injuries was needed.


    Clearing out the blood clots required utmost care.


    Soon, the abdominal cavity was much cleaner!


    But at that moment, there was still severe bleeding from the ruptured liver tissue!


    This must be the reason why the blood pressure couldn¡¯t be raised!


    Chen Cang acted swiftly, pressing a gauze pad directly with his hand to stop the bleeding, grabbing hold of the liver with both hands, and immediately starting hemostasis.


    He carefully cradled the liver with both hands, the gauze pad firmly pressed against it, his fingers ingeniously blocking the blood vessels!


    Instantly!


    The bleeding stopped all at once!


    Chen Cang¡¯s seemingly simple maneuvers left the onlookers around him speechless and dumbfounded!


    Even Wang Xiangjun¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief at the astonishing scene.


    Manual hemostasis?


    Manual hemostasis of the liver!


    But¡­ manual hemostasis is usually performed on a single blood vessel or a solitary injury.


    And Chen Cang¡¯s operation¡­


    How did he do it?


    The seemingly casual manual technique required precise judgment, accurate positioning, and the rapid implementation of emergency measures.


    At this moment, Qian Liang rushed into the operating room. Woken from his sleep, he had heard about a liver laceration surgery and came running without a second thought.


    Even so, it had taken him quite some time.


    After a hasty scrub, he entered the operating room and, without even having time to change into surgical attire, he witnessed the amazing scene!


    Who is this?


    How is he so skilled!


    Amidst his shock, Qian Liang felt a surge of elation¡ªwhen had their department gained such a talent?


    But when Qian Liang looked up, he felt utterly unfamiliar with the scene; he took a closer look!


    Isn¡¯t that Chen Cang!


    At that moment, Qian Liang was even more stunned.


    Chen Cang¡­ Since when could he perform liver laceration repair surgery? In Dongda First Hospital¡¯s Hepatobiliary Surgery Department only four people were capable of such a procedure, all were directors.


    And wasn¡¯t Chen Cang just playing with appendices and gallbladders recently?


    He¡­ mastered liver laceration surgery?!


    And also managed precise manual hemostasis.


    This left Qian Liang shocked and somewhat bewildered.


    He wasn¡¯t sleepwalking, was he?


    After Chen Cang stopped the bleeding, he let out a sigh of relief, but such manual hemostasis was only a temporary measure, the upcoming surgery could not proceed like this!


    Chen Cang hurriedly said to Yue Wenqing, ¡°What are you waiting for?¡±


    ¡°Block the liver blood flow!¡±


    Yue Wenqing¡¯s face flushed, and he hastily took over the hemostatic clamp, but in that instant, Qian Liang quickly intervened, ¡°Wait a moment!¡±


    Everyone looked up and saw the chief arriving!


    In that moment, everyone couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    Wang Xiangjun also glanced at Qian Liang and nodded, ¡°You¡¯re here!¡±


    Qian Liang responded, ¡°Hmm!¡±


    After donning surgical attire, Qian Liang walked across from Chen Cang, and Fan Tai quickly made room.


    Qian Liang looked at Chen Cang and said, ¡°Are you ready?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded!


    Qian Liang took over the hemostatic clamp and promptly stopped the bleeding, decisively and efficiently.


    Chen Cang released his hands and immediately began the inspection work.


    This method of intermittently occluding liver blood flow at the porta hepatis indeed could stop the bleeding from the hepatic artery and hepatic vein right away!


    But there were significant limitations; the duration of each blood flow occlusion couldn¡¯t be too long, typically only fifteen to twenty minutes.


    Yet completing such a complicated procedure in this timeframe was clearly unrealistic.


    Thus, blood supply had to be restored for five minutes before a second occlusion!


    However, modern medical research had shown that repeated occlusion isn¡¯t beneficial for liver recovery.


    In light of this, the pace of the surgery had to be accelerated!


    The demands on the surgeon, therefore, grew even higher!

 Chapter 506 - Chapter 506: Chapter 506: Qian Liangs Star Wish (Please Subscribe)

    Chapter 506: Chapter 506: Qian Liang¡¯s Star Wish (Please Subscribe)


    So, Qian Liang personally took charge of the operation to coordinate with Chen Cang and complete the task within fifteen minutes!


    Chen Cang glanced at Qian Liang and began the exploration!


    In fact, as soon as Chen Cang grabbed the liver, he had already felt significant damage in some areas!


    He felt indentations and softness in some areas, which are signs of liver damage.


    Turning around to grab a puncture needle, he performed a local puncture toward the indented and softened areas, and instantly, blood flowed out¡­


    This meant that although there was no obvious damage on the surface of the liver, there was classical central rupture injury within.


    This drew admiration from Qian Liang standing by!


    Such a thoughtful maneuver.


    It was like applying common sense in daily life, a small trick, yet at this moment, it held significant importance!


    Yue Wenqing too was staring wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.


    This method is great!


    I¡¯ve learned something new!


    Chen Cang then proceeded to explore the diaphragmatic and visceral surfaces of the left lobe of the liver with his right hand¡­


    The continuous alert tones and red names signified serious issues to Chen Cang.


    [Damaged liver hilum]


    [Inferior vena cava injury]


    ¡­


    It¡¯s very serious!


    Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s furrowed brow, Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but worry.


    The exploration was extremely important, not only to determine the amount of bleeding and the required blood transfusion but also to assess the type and severity of the liver injury and whether it was accompanied by damage to other organs.


    Thus, to determine the surgical method!


    This process, though seemingly simple, was quite a challenge for the average practitioner!


    It was a true test of the level of a hepatobiliary surgeon.


    However, to Chen Cang, many judgments were relatively simple; he could make a relatively accurate estimation of the amount of bleeding just by looking.


    And the injuries, they were clearly marked in red in Chen Cang¡¯s vision!


    After pondering for a moment, Chen Cang began to speak:


    ¡°The blood loss could be around 1500 milliliters!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the transfusion medicine physician started to calculate the upcoming transfusions and predictions.


    Chen Cang continued, ¡°There¡¯s damage to the liver hilum, injury to the inferior vena cava¡­¡±


    Qian Liang nodded!


    ¡°Clamp the hepatic vein branch!¡±


    ¡°Clamp the hepatic portal vein!¡±


    ¡­


    As Chen Cang directed, Qian Liang operated, their cooperation perfectly in sync.


    Swiftly fifteen minutes passed, and Chen Cang turned to Yue Wenqing.


    ¡°Release the hemostat!¡±


    Yue Wenqing quickly nodded and released the hemostat.


    Upon the release of the hemostat, everyone had expected massive bleeding to gush out.


    But¡­


    The sight that followed forced everyone to acknowledge their skill.


    While there was still oozing, it was nothing like the initial profuse spray.


    Delight crossed everyone¡¯s faces, yet their hearts were filled with greater shock!


    Truly impressive!


    Qian Liang looked at Chen Cang with a joyful expression, somewhat in disbelief.


    Although Qian Liang had performed the recent maneuvers, the real core CPU was Chen Cang.


    Finding the precise points of bleeding and rupture was most crucial.


    Once found, then clamped.


    The most commendable part was the finding.


    Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but glance at Chen Cang and say sincerely, ¡°Chen! Impressive!¡±


    After the blood flow had stabilized for five minutes.


    The operation continued!


    What followed was the repair work.


    Chen Cang turned around: ¡°Number 10 silk sutures!¡±


    The nurse quickly handed them over, Chen Cang took the needle holders and began the suturing.


    He didn¡¯t pass them to Qian Liang, as he was more familiar with the patient¡¯s injuries compared to Qian Liang.


    Repairing the liver was much more difficult than other organs!


    Because liver tissue is fragile, whether it is ligating or suturing, one must slowly tighten to prevent the suturing thread from cutting or even splitting the liver.


    This type of iatrogenic liver injury used to be quite common in the past.


    Chen Cang tied the sutures gently.


    Step by step, very carefully.


    His movements were gentle and calm, just like a seasoned chief director in his fifties.


    Nothing like a young man in his twenties or thirties.


    The repair work on the liver was much more intricate compared to the spleen.


    Larger in size, and when there were deep cuts and wounds, the repair and suturing became even more challenging!


    If anyone knew this operation best, it would certainly be Qian Liang!


    He had performed surgeries with Chen Cang, so he was well-acquainted with the procedure.


    How many wounds were there!


    Simply too many to count.


    It required a wealth of surgical experience and a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge to continuously identify those hidden wounds and bleeding points.


    The level of precision Chen Cang displayed caught Qian Liang by surprise.


    This was amazing.


    He had never expected Chen Cang to possess such immense talent.


    No, that¡¯s not right!


    This had transcended talent; it might have already elevated to skill.


    Talent indicates your capability to become an incredible surgeon.


    But now, Chen Cang already had that surgical ability.


    The onlookers viewed Chen Cang with eyes filled with respect and emotion.


    Yue Wenqing and Fan Tai exchanged glances.


    Who is this person?


    Why is he so impressive!


    They must have had their doubts when Chen Cang declared ¡°I can¡± in the resuscitation room.


    Yet, in the short span of one operation, Chen Cang showed them what ¡°beyond doubt¡± meant.


    Qian Liang truly, truly regretted!


    He really, really had the chance to become the teacher of this prodigy.


    Unfortunately, opportunities only come once.


    Qian Liang felt:


    Such heartache that he couldn¡¯t breathe.


    His mind was filled with traces of regret.


    Watching you¡­


    Yet you are not my disciple.


    Powerless to stop you from showing off


    ¡­


    Right, he had to control himself.


    He couldn¡¯t let anyone see him cry¡­


    As time ticked by,


    After inspecting the abdominal cavity and finding no significant damage, Chen Cang made some minor repairs, and the surgery concluded thoroughly.


    Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but say to Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, you did an outstanding job!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun also turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, we owe you a lot today. If it hadn¡¯t been for you¡­ sigh!¡±


    Chen Cang just smiled, ¡°It¡¯s what I should do, what I should do!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun took a deep breath, glanced at Fan Tai, then at Chen Cang, and shook his head.


    What virtues and abilities does Li Heitan have?


    To possess such a treasure!


    He, Wang Xiangjun, felt indignant.


    Thinking back to how recently this fellow was showing off his name as the first author in ¡°Liver Transplantation¡± and ¡°The British Journal of Surgery¡± on his social media.


    Do you have any shame?


    A grown man riding on the coattails of a junior to publish papers!


    Isn¡¯t that embarrassing!


    The more he thought about it, the angrier Wang Xiangjun became.


    Looking at Chen Cang, he had to admit he felt envious and jealous¡­


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang¡¯s harvest today was bountiful!


    This high-level operation had given him a massive boost in experience!


    This was a level 75 monster that sent Chen Cang skyrocketing to level 35!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel elated inside!


    At level 40, he could start learning level 4 surgeries, and the incomplete version of the liver repair surgery could be perfected.


    As for those level 4 thoracic and cardiovascular surgeries, he should be able to learn them too, right?


    But which had more authority, the professional rating or being level 40?

 Chapter 507 - Chapter 507: Chapter 507: The Body is Very Honest

    Chapter 507: Chapter 507: The Body is Very Honest


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully repaired a ruptured liver, an over-leveled repair, and you will receive a generous reward: JHVI Surgery (Master Level)!]


    After hearing the system notification,


    Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback and puzzled.


    This procedure is the generous reward I get?


    How is that generous? Just because it consists of four capital letters?


    Chen Cang really didn¡¯t understand what these four letters meant in terms of surgery, but if he had to hazard a guess¡­ he thought the name sounded quite impressive.


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the JHVI Surgery!]


    Alright then, I¡¯ll look it up when I get back, since I don¡¯t understand it anyway¡­


    At that moment, Chen Cang felt like a primary school student who had been rewarded with a set on relativity by the system, staring blankly at the book cover, wondering, ¡°What is ¡®relativity¡¯?¡±]

    ¡­


    Tonight¡¯s tasks were quite tough: three patients, two severely injured, one lightly injured but not too serious.


    Now one had been successfully treated, and Wang Xiangjun was about to head towards Meng Xi¡¯s operating room.


    Just then, Meng Xi, Ge Huai, and the others came out of the next surgery room.


    Wang Xiangjun hastily asked, ¡°Director Meng, how did the surgery go?¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, ¡°Director Wang, it went smoothly! But¡­ let¡¯s transfer to the ICU. It¡¯s still hard to say now, with the ascending aortic rupture and accompanying thoracic¡­¡±


    Wang Xiangjun heaved a sigh of relief and nodded; at least there was no immediate danger to life!


    However, it was not yet time to relax; both patients were sent off to the ICU for monitoring.


    After being busy for a while, Wang Xiangjun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Chen Cang was about to leave, he hurriedly ran over!


    He looked at Chen Cang with a face full of emotion and thanked him.


    Then, suddenly, he chuckled sheepishly, ¡°Little Chen, do you feel like we have a special connection?¡±


    Meng Xi and Qian Liang were clueless, wondering what connection?


    Chen Cang, thinking about the master-level resetting skills and the master-level emergency medicine proficiency he was about to receive, felt that indeed there was a kind of affinity ¨C if Director Wang could offer more skills, that connection would certainly deepen!


    With this thought, Chen Cang smiled and nodded, ¡°Yes, indeed! It¡¯s truly an honor to know Director Wang.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangjun looked at Qian Liang and said, ¡°See! Haha, I knew I got along really well with Little Chen.¡±


    At this point, Wang Xiangjun laughed heartily, ¡°Little Chen, what do you think of our East Great First Hospital¡¯s emergency department? Are you interested in developing your career here?¡±


    Qian Liang rolled his eyes: Can¡¯t you see? It¡¯s just being polite!


    And you¡¯re pushing your luck too far!


    Watching Wang Xiangjun so brazenly poach talent, Qian Liang felt that his own skin was still too thin.


    Chen Cang laughed, ¡°I believe there will definitely be opportunities for collaboration with Director Wang and the East Great First Hospital in the future!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun, hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, sighed helplessly, understanding the situation¡­


    But¡­ he was very curious about what charm the Second Provincial Hospital had, to attract Chen Cang so much?


    After all, whether it was reputation, compensation, or future prospects, the East Great First Hospital was a level above the Second Provincial Hospital!


    To think that such talent was being wasted on Li Heitan seemed outrageous to him!


    Wang Xiangjun thought that one day, he should scout out the Second Provincial Hospital to see what special findings there might be.


    Meng Xi was looking at Chen Cang with curiosity, not knowing what he had done but certain it was related to patient resuscitation!


    With that thought, Meng Xi became curious about what surgery had just been performed.


    At this time, Ge Huai was even more curious.


    ¡°`


    What on earth is Chen Cang¡¯s capability that has numerous directors bowing down to him¡­


    Just then, Fan Tai walked over, and Ge Huai hurriedly approached, ¡°Old Fan, what surgery was that just now?¡±


    Fan Tai was also very curious about Chen Cang at this moment. Instead of answering Ge Huai¡¯s question, he directly asked, ¡°Ge Huai, is that young doctor from your department?¡±


    Ge Huai nodded, ¡°Yeah, he is Director Meng¡¯s postgraduate student, first year!¡±


    Fan Tai burst out, ¡°Holy shit, you¡¯re kidding me? Do you think I look like an idiot? Chen Cang a first year? I¡¯d believe it if you said you were a first year!¡±


    Ge Huai was taken aback, what does it have to do with you looking like an idiot?


    Fan Tai said, ¡°Stop joking!¡±


    Ge Huai was speechless, ¡°What joke? Seriously, what¡¯s up, tell me quickly!¡±


    Seeing that Ge Huai did not seem to be joking, Fan Tai¡¯s eyes widened in shock and disbelief, ¡°Damn! Chen Cang is really a postgraduate student?¡±


    ¡°Do you know what surgery he just did?¡±


    Ge Huai shook his head, while Meng Xi, at this moment, also came closer, her curiosity about Chen Cang growing!


    Fan Tai said with admiration, ¡°The surgery Chen Cang performed was a liver rupture repair! From start to finish, that manual haemostasis, really awesome!¡±


    With one sentence, both of them were dumbfounded!


    Ge Huai looked at Fan Tai with a blank face, ¡°Do I look like an idiot to you?¡±


    Fan Tai: ¡­


    ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth, if you don¡¯t believe me, ask Wenqing!¡±


    Yue Wenqing looked at Ge Huai excitedly, ¡°Xiao Ge, do you have Chen Cang¡¯s number? His manual haemostasis was really awesome, the surgery he did, no worse than Director Qian¡¯s!¡±


    Now, Ge Huai¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°You¡¯re saying¡­ Chen Cang can perform liver rupture repairs?¡±


    Yue Wenqing excitedly replied, ¡°More than just able to do it, that¡¯s like master-level skill.¡±


    Ge Huai felt that he was not going to sleep tonight, probably going to be in a daze¡­


    Should he ask for leave from Professor Xia in advance¡­


    But thinking about how Professor Xia looked at Chen Cang tonight, Ge Huai quickly shook his head, better not ask for leave, what if¡­ the teacher was already displeased with him, and took the chance to kick him out of the mentorship, how embarrassing!


    Perhaps¡­ at this moment, only two people could sympathize with Ge Huai, one was Qian Lin, and one a classmate A.


    Meng Xi looked thoughtfully at Chen Cang¡¯s retreating figure, her eyes suddenly full of surprise and curiosity. Her student seemed¡­ quite impressive!


    At this thought, Meng Xi suddenly felt her clothes getting tight again, annoying¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang and Qian Liang left the emergency room together.


    Chen Cang suddenly heard the system notification sound.


    [Ding! Meng Xi¡¯s favorability +10!]


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, what¡­ did I do?


    This also increases favorability?


    This made Meng Ku¡¯s vacant soul happy, not bad, not bad. Favorability has risen by 10 points again. Last time, exchanging for the [Descending Aortic Repair Technique] directly cost 30 points of favorability, but now it has at least returned to 40 points.


    Qian Liang looked at Chen Cang, hesitating to speak.


    He suddenly felt that fate played tricks on people. Initially, he almost didn¡¯t think much of Chen Cang, but now¡­ it had reached this point. If Chen Cang were to look for a teacher now, he probably wouldn¡¯t regard him highly anymore.


    Thinking about this, Old Qian suddenly sighed.


    In this life, you really can¡¯t be too reserved.


    This lesson was too profound.

 Chapter 508 - Chapter 508: Chapter 508: A Can Grows in the Stomach

    Chapter 508: Chapter 508: A Can Grows in the Stomach


    After returning home, Chen Cang tidied up his ¡°spoils of war.¡±


    One was a Master level JHVI surgery.


    Another was a Master level Emergency Medicine Medication Specialization.


    One active skill, one passive skill.


    Though the night¡¯s surgery was taxing, it was indeed a fruitful endeavor.


    However, when Chen Cang opened the mission interface, he realized there was still one task (1) to be completed.


    Had he missed something?


    Chen Cang felt as excited as if he had found two thousand yuan in the pocket of an old coat as he opened the completed tasks.


    The system prompt:


    [Ding! As a participant in completing a level 50 high-difficulty instance, reward received: Tracheal Intubation Technique (Master Level).]


    Chen Cang then had a moment of realization; it was that patient with a piece of gauze in his chest cavity for ten years; if it stayed any longer, it would have nearly cost him his life.


    But this was not the patient¡¯s fault, it was due to medical personnel dereliction of duty, and Chen Cang took it as a warning to himself, as his own negligence could potentially add an unpredictable bomb in a patient¡¯s body, threatening their health at any moment.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t later inquire about what exactly happened with Jing Ran.


    Perhaps, with time, as a doctor, he had gradually lost the penchant for gossip.


    Upon opening the inventory, there was a purple Skill Book, four simulation stones, and one blank Skill Book.


    Chen Cang casually activated the purple Skill Book, and the system prompt sounded:


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired the cardiothoracic surgical skill: Anonyma Artery Damage Repair Technique, Master Level!]


    Acquiring two skills, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel delighted.


    He had taken several steps closer to becoming an excellent emergency doctor!


    But what exactly is JHVI surgery?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t settle down not knowing, so he quickly switched on his computer to search.


    Upon looking it up, Chen Cang realized that he might really have stumbled upon a treasure!


    JHVI surgery, also known as Near Hepatic Vein Injury surgery, is amongst the most challenging and dangerous operations in liver trauma surgery, and one of the most difficult issues in hepatic surgery field.


    Near hepatic veins include the main hepatic vein and the retrohepatic veins; due to their special anatomical locations and the difficulty in handling them, they are considered extremely challenging surgeries to date!


    With this discovery, Chen Cang instantly felt cheerful.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next morning, as soon as Chen Cang arrived at the hospital, he was blocked at the entrance by Qin Yue!


    ¡°Have you decided?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, decided what?


    Did you come this early¡­ just to intercept me?


    But looking at Qin Yue¡¯s fierce demeanor, Chen Cang suddenly remembered, ¡°Um! I¡¯ve decided!¡±


    Hearing this, Qin Yue quickly let go, ¡°Give me your phone, I need to check it!¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly felt that the morning was too idle, where were the patients?


    Everyone, please come out!


    Don¡¯t you all usually want to jump the queue?


    Today you don¡¯t have to, can I volunteer to see you all?


    Someone drag this woman away¡­


    Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue and gave an awkward smile, ¡°I¡¯m still not sure, so I came early to consult your opinion, to see which one you like?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, ¡°Tell me, let¡¯s hear the options!¡±


    Chen Cang frowned, struggling to beat his brain cells into action, summarizing his experience, reflecting on his shortcomings, and after thoughtful consideration, he felt that small certainly wouldn¡¯t cut it!


    After all, using the nickname ¡°Xiaozi¡± was taboo with Qin Yue!


    ¡°Big Yueyue!¡±


    ¡°Scram!¡±


    Chen Cang swallowed hard, ¡°My precious!¡±


    ¡°Hehe!¡±


    ¡°Big¡­¡±


    When Chen Cang kept racking his brain, a young couple ran in, holding their child!


    Upon seeing Qin Yue, the woman grabbed her and said breathlessly, ¡°Doctor¡­ quick! Save the child.¡±


    Hearing this, neither Qin Yue nor Chen Cang had the mood for bantering and quickly turned to look at the child.


    The man was busy registering for the emergency, while the woman, with a panicked and anxious expression, clutched the child and looked uneasily at Qin Yue, about to speak.


    The little boy in her arms spoke up, ¡°Mom, put me down, you¡¯re hurting me!¡±


    The woman was startled and hurriedly put the child down.


    Chen Cang looked at the child who was hopping around and was momentarily taken aback.


    What¡¯s wrong with this child that he needs saving?


    Qin Yue was also curious, ¡°Which child? What happened?¡±


    Only then did the woman say, ¡°It¡¯s him, Benben, come here! Don¡¯t run around.¡±


    The little boy was quite naughty. Since entering the emergency room, he was touching this and looking at that¡­ nowhere near looking like someone in need of rescue.


    Qin Yue asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the child?¡±


    The woman replied, ¡°He swallowed the button from the Lulu drink can at home into his stomach!¡±


    Upon hearing the woman¡¯s words, both Qin Yue and Chen Cang were taken aback.


    The woman went on to explain, ¡°This morning, I was heating up a can of Lulu for the child, and accidentally when opening it, the button fell in. I just poured the Lulu into a cup for him, but after he finished it, he picked up the can again and took a sip, and that¡¯s when he swallowed the button!¡±


    After finishing her explanation, the woman looked frantic, ¡°Doctor, the button is very sharp. It won¡¯t cut open his stomach, will it?¡±


    Qin Yue also frowned slightly upon hearing this; the woman¡¯s concerns were not unfounded.


    A child¡¯s esophagus isn¡¯t that wide, and if the esophagus contracts, plus the sharpness of a pop-top can¡¯s button, it can easily cause damage!


    Chen Cang straightforwardly suggested, ¡°Let¡¯s go do an endoscopy to see what exactly is going on and see if we can remove it!¡±


    The child¡¯s parents quickly nodded in agreement, ¡°Yes, yes, let¡¯s do an endoscopy to check!¡±


    As they walked, Chen Cang asked, ¡°Has he eaten anything since swallowing it?¡±


    The woman hastily shook her head, ¡°No, as soon as he told me he swallowed something, I got scared and rushed him to emergency.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded; that was good news.


    In the meantime, they headed toward the endoscopy room. It was now 7:30 am, and Chen Cang decided to go with Qin Yue to the endoscopy room as well.


    The duty doctor greeted Chen Cang when he saw him.


    ¡°Dr. Chen, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Chen Cang replied, ¡°This kid accidentally swallowed the pop-top button while drinking Lulu.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, the man looked at the child with a skeptical expression.


    The little boy, seeing the rather fierce endoscopy doctor, couldn¡¯t help but take a few steps back, ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t want to swallow it either.¡±


    For some reason, this statement made everyone want to laugh.


    The parents couldn¡¯t help but give a wry smile, not knowing what to say!


    The endoscopy doctor nodded at the little boy, ¡°Mhm, I know. We¡¯ll get it out, otherwise it¡¯ll take root in your stomach, and then you¡¯ll grow a can out of it!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the little boy turned pale with fright.


    The endoscopy doctor nodded, ¡°Mhm, so be a good boy, come over here, and don¡¯t wiggle around, I¡¯ll check if it¡¯s started to take root yet!¡±


    The little boy nodded seriously, not daring to move a muscle anymore.

 Chapter 509 - Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Tell me, how many have you used?

    Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Tell me, how many have you used?


    Originally, a standard gastroscopy had been planned, but considering the child¡¯s compliance surely wouldn¡¯t be too good!


    Moreover, in case the button needed to be removed, he couldn¡¯t be allowed to fidget, so it was decided to proceed after anesthesia.


    Once the gastroscope probe extended into the esophagus, careful observation was taken of the surroundings, meticulously searching for any damage to the esophageal lining.


    He Zhiqiang was not old, only in his thirties, and was rather cautious. The child¡¯s esophagus was not very long; he examined it back and forth two or three times before finally saying, ¡°It¡¯s all clear, there are no injuries to the esophagus.¡±


    Hearing these words, the child¡¯s family finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    He Zhiqiang continued to advance the probe downward and eventually saw a metal button at the bottom of the stomach. Because the button was bent open, it had a rather peculiar shape, with distinct edges and even a sharp point sticking up at one of the folded corners.


    This made He Zhiqiang frown instantly!


    The family members stood by, watching the images on the television, too scared to speak, fearing they might disturb the doctor¡¯s thoughts.


    However, seeing He Zhiqiang remaining silent for so long, the woman couldn¡¯t help but whisper, ¡°Doctor¡­ Why don¡¯t you just take it out?¡±


    He Zhiqiang was momentarily stunned, shaking his head, ¡°If it were that simple, it would be great!¡±


    ¡°The button is very sharp around the edges now. If I pull it out now, it¡¯s very likely to damage the inner wall. This is different from swallowing; accompanied by the lubrication of milk and the peristalsis of the esophagus, it might have gone down without injuring the inner wall. But if you just yank it out like this, who knows¡­¡±


    ¡°Once the esophagus is damaged, it requires esophageal repair, and that would complicate things significantly.¡±


    Hearing what He Zhiqiang said, the parents of the boy instantly turned pale.


    Qin Yue and Chen Cang were also staring at the television, with Chen Cang beginning to ponder if there was an angle from which the metal ring could be pulled out.


    But¡­ because the endoscope¡¯s grasping tool was not as stable as pliers, pulling it out was still prone to issues if the direction was even slightly off.


    What to do?


    Surely they wouldn¡¯t have to go through the trouble of cutting open the stomach just for such a simple pull-tab button?


    That would be¡­ unnecessary!


    And so, everyone was faced with a dilemma.


    What was the best course of action?


    Chen Cang was also continually thinking, pondering the best approach. Could it be necessary to use a simulation stone and attempt to remove it himself?


    But¡­ that seemed a bit unnecessary, didn¡¯t it?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang looked down and just happened to see He Zhiqiang¡¯s gloves¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up instantly, as if he had grasped a clue.


    Yes!


    Could something wrap around the sharp pull-tab button and then extract it?


    What could wrap around it¡­


    And also serve as a lubricant, reducing friction between it and the walls of the esophagus?


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly thought of something brilliant!


    His eyes shining, he said to He Zhiqiang, ¡°Old He, wait for me, just two minutes.¡±


    Chen Cang stood up and ran outside.


    Below the endoscopy suite was the Comprehensive Examination Department, which included the ultrasound room.


    Although it was not yet office hours, the door to the ultrasound room was already crowded with people.


    After asking a nurse to open the door, Chen Cang went straight in.


    The attending physician was a young woman named Zhang Danni, who smiled when she saw Chen Cang rush in, ¡°Director Chen, what brings you to our department?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled back, ¡°Doctor Zhang, could you spare me two contraceptive Ts?¡±


    Zhang Danni was momentarily taken aback, ¡°What do you need these for?¡±


    Without hesitation, she tore off seven or eight and handed them over, saying, ¡°Take them all.¡±


    Chen Cang chuckled awkwardly, ¡°Don¡¯t need so many! Just two are enough for the endoscopy suite.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhang Danni grew curious, ¡°The endoscopy suite? What do they want these for?¡±


    Typically, ultrasound departments perform many ultrasounds, some of which require the use of contraceptive Ts.


    Initially, Chen Cang also didn¡¯t understand why the ultrasound department needed these items, until he witnessed their use firsthand.


    Chen Cang explained the situation, and Zhang Danni¡¯s eyes immediately lit up as she stared at Chen Cang, ¡°You really are a genius!¡±


    Chen Cang gave a sheepish smile, ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try!¡±


    Zhang Danni suddenly got swept up in the excitement and playfully said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go up and have a look.¡±


    Since it wasn¡¯t yet time to start work, it was no problem for Zhang Danni to go out.


    The two of them made their way together to the endoscopy room, where He Zhiqiang was taken aback to see Zhang Danni arrive, ¡°Dr. Zhang, what brings you here?¡±


    Zhang Danni smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve come to witness Director Chen create a miracle!¡±


    At this moment, Chen Cang had already torn open a condom packet, and said to He Zhiqiang,


    ¡°Old He, here¡¯s what I¡¯m thinking, we take this thing, open it, then stuff the probe inside the stomach, and then push the metal tab of the can inside, and after that, we just pull this out, and it should be good. The outside of it is coated with lubricating oil, which just happens to lubricate against the esophagus wall!¡±


    After hearing this, He Zhiqiang was also convinced by Chen Cang¡¯s genius idea!


    His eyes lit up, ¡°Feasible!¡±


    In the course of the conversation, he took out the endoscope, then unfolded the condom and slid it down the boy¡¯s esophagus. Luckily, there was ample space inside the stomach to maneuver!


    He Zhiqiang operated the grasping tool with care, cautiously stuffing the metal tab into the condom.


    This process was quite a test of skill, and after several attempts by He Zhiqiang, he finally managed to get it inside!


    Everyone around was immediately thrilled!


    Halfway there!


    Next, He Zhiqiang carefully pulled out the condom containing the can¡¯s tab, very cautiously.


    It must be said, the lubricating effect really did its job, without any hindrance.


    The whole procedure went smoothly, and quickly they retrieved it from the boy¡¯s mouth!


    Instantly, everyone around was delighted!


    Seeing the condom with the metal tab, they couldn¡¯t help but feel jubilant.


    No one could have thought that a clever use of a condom could resolve a difficult case of foreign body ingestion.


    Thinking of this, He Zhiqiang couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Chen Cang, you¡¯re too awesome!¡±


    Zhang Danni, having witnessed it all, couldn¡¯t resist saying, ¡°Yeah, to think of such a method, Chen Cang, you are truly a genius!¡±


    Qin Xiaotian¡¯s eyes gleamed as he looked at Chen Cang, his heart already shouting: Chen Cang is the best in the world!


    It must be said, Chen Cang¡¯s idea was really that of a genius, who could have thought a condom could come in handy like this.


    The parent, holding their child, followed Chen Cang and Qin Yue back to the observation room in the emergency department, waiting for the child to wake up.


    All the way expressing their gratitude to Chen Cang!


    After all, if Chen Cang had not thought of this method, they really wouldn¡¯t have known what to do.


    Although they were praising Chen Cang, Qin Yue felt very pleased, as if the praise were directed at her!


    After dealing with the patient, the two of them left the observation room.


    Qin Yue turned around, her big eyes looking at Chen Cang, ¡°You were amazing!¡±


    Chen Cang immediately broke into a proud smile, ¡°You only just realized? Haha¡­¡±


    However, after a moment, Qin Yue immediately stared at Chen Cang with deep meaning and demanded, ¡°Come clean, where did you get the inspiration from!¡±


    Chen Cang was suddenly at a loss!


    Qin Yue narrowed her eyes, ¡°Spill it, how many have you used?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    How should he begin to explain?


    Oh¡­


    Women!


    ¡­


    ps: Recently many friends might be preparing for exams. I wish everyone smooth sailing on exams. As for medical students¡­ well, good luck, and make sure to review thoroughly¡­

 Chapter 510 - Chapter 510: Chapter 510: The Cunning Villain Li Baoshan!

    Chapter 510: Chapter 510: The Cunning Villain Li Baoshan!


    ¡°`


    Wang Xiangjun was a man who couldn¡¯t keep things to himself, and ever since he laid eyes on Chen Cang, he was so preoccupied that his hair even started falling out by the handful!


    This immediately sent Director Wang, who treasured his hair like life itself, into a state of real panic!


    After much thought, Wang Xiangjun decided to have a serious talk with Li Baoshan. You want to be stubborn? I¡¯ll play the martyr today!


    Convince him with reason, move him with emotion, anyway, any method that might snatch Chen Cang away was worth trying!


    After handing over his shift in the morning and seeing that there were no surgeries scheduled, Wang Xiangjun hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Looking at the ¡°simple¡± emergency department, Wang Xiangjun couldn¡¯t help but feel disdainful. How could this little pond ever keep Cheng Cang?


    What trick had Li Baoshan pulled?


    Wang Xiangjun, having been here a few times before, navigated the hospital with ease. It was nine o¡¯clock, and things weren¡¯t too busy.


    However¡­


    As he passed the doctors¡¯ office, he suddenly saw Chen Cang standing next to a woman, bowing his head, while the woman appeared to be criticizing him with a fierce look!


    This stopped Wang Xiangjun in his tracks.


    What on earth was happening?


    Who would dare to criticize such an outstanding person as young Chen?


    Yet there was Chen Cang, with a fawning expression on his face¡­


    Cheap!


    Despicable!


    Wang Xiangjun couldn¡¯t help but spit in disdain. A real man should have lofty aspirations, how could he let himself be like this?


    But at that moment, Wang Xiangjun had an epiphany.


    He thought of the triumphant Xia Gaofeng, the pompous Meng Xi¡­ he thought of the pitiable Qian Liang, the aggrieved Tao Zi, and suddenly it all made sense!


    He finally understood!


    Right!


    Of course! Thinking of this, Wang Xiangjun took out his phone, snapped a photo of Chen Cang and Qin Yue together, then turned around and left!


    Luckily, the Second Provincial Hospital wasn¡¯t far from Dongda First Hospital, so for Wang Xiangjun it was only a ten-minute round trip.


    Back at Dongda First Hospital, he looked at his own four-story emergency building and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    The only regret!


    Such a great building, no matter how you looked at it, it was missing a Chen Cang.


    With that in mind, he rushed up to the administrative building to Qian Liang¡¯s office.


    Qian Liang, who was watching a surgery video, suddenly felt the door burst open, startling him so much that he quickly shut his phone!


    He looked up to see Wang Xiangjun standing there!


    Qian Liang let out a sigh, ¡°Old Wang, could you knock before you come in next time?¡±


    Wang Xiangjun glared at him, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, is being a deputy director so impressive?¡±


    Qian Liang sighed helplessly, ¡°Let¡¯s pretend I didn¡¯t say anything. What do you want?¡±


    Seeing Qian Liang¡¯s guilty look, Wang Xiangjun couldn¡¯t help but become curious and asked, ¡°What were you watching?¡±


    Qian Liang shook his head, ¡°Nothing much!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun was skeptical, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. Hand it over quickly, or I might report you to the provincial committee. I¡¯m giving the leaders their physical examination tomorrow.¡±


    Upon hearing Wang Xiangjun¡¯s words, Qian Liang became truly helpless. This guy was really unreasonable.


    The director in charge of equipment and the director in charge of pharmaceuticals didn¡¯t know how many times they¡¯d been ratted out by him, and now they were on edge, not daring to do a thing, coming to him more than once to cry poverty and rant about resigning.


    He knew Wang Xiangjun was joking¡­ but who knew what on earth he was thinking? What if he did tell the leaders that Qian Liang was watching some unknown video on his phone during work hours? Would he have any dignity left?


    Qian Liang rolled his eyes, opened the video on his phone, and passed it over, ¡°This is Chen¡¯s surgery video from yesterday. I didn¡¯t finish watching it, just reviewing it now!¡±


    ¡°`


    Wang Xiangjun squinted his eyes and chuckled, ¡°Are you secretly learning from me?¡±


    Qian Liang¡¯s face immediately turned red with anger, and he stomped his foot, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, do I need to learn in secret? If I really wanted to learn, do you believe I could just call Chen Cang over with a phone call? I was the one who personally supervised his exams!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun snorted and handed over the phone, staring at Qian Liang, ¡°Here, take the phone and call little Chen over.¡±


    Qian Liang was dumbstruck!


    You bastard, can¡¯t you play by the rules?


    Is it fun for you to slap faces like this?


    Qian Liang was so angry he felt like picking up the cellphone and throwing Wang Xiangjun out.


    It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t call him over, but that he felt embarrassed to. After watching Chen Cang¡¯s video yesterday, Qian Liang had reflected for a long time and realized that there really were a lot of impressive aspects to Chen Cang¡¯s surgery.


    Not to mention anything else, just the barehanded hemostasis alone, Qian Liang watched dozens of times, with each viewing bringing a new sense of admiration.


    It was too amazing!


    What virtues and capabilities does Li Baoshan have, huh?


    To have such a doctor under him.


    Wang Xiangjun didn¡¯t care what Qian Liang was thinking and directly asked, ¡°Old Qian, do you want to know why?¡±


    Qian Liang pretended to be calm, ¡°Why what?¡±


    Once Wang Xiangjun heard that, he became displeased, ¡°If you keep showing off, I¡¯m leaving! Can we have a proper conversation, please?¡±


    Qian Liang coughed and let it go, let it go. It wasn¡¯t worth it with this brute.


    ¡°You¡¯re talking about little Chen?¡±


    Wang Xiangjun nodded, leaned forward on the table, and locked eyes with Qian Liang, ¡°Haven¡¯t you wondered why little Chen is in the emergency department? Why at the Second Provincial Hospital? Why didn¡¯t he choose you as his mentor, but instead went to Meng Xi?¡±


    Several consecutive questions made Qian Liang frown, ¡°What could be the reason? Just a coincidence, right? Little Chen wants to learn cardiovascular surgery.¡±


    Wang Xiangjun smiled mysteriously, ¡°Wrong!¡±


    Curious, Qian Liang looked at Wang Xiangjun, ¡°Then what is it?¡±


    Wang Xiangjun nodded thoughtfully, his eyes narrowing into a smile, ¡°The 36 Stratagems¡­ the beauty trap!¡±


    Qian Liang was taken aback, not quite used to seeing Wang Xiangjun, the rough guy, turn into a detective!


    ¡°Old Wang, tell me all about it!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun nodded, ¡°Old Qian, let me show you a photo!¡±


    Finishing his words, Wang Xiangjun took out his son¡¯s recently discarded Huawei Mate 20, pulled up a photo, and pointed it out to Qian Liang.


    After seeing the man and woman in the photo, Qian Liang was suddenly stunned!


    It seemed¡­ a chord had been struck in his brain!


    Old Qian also had an epiphany!


    Wang Xiangjun spoke mysteriously, ¡°Based on my guess, this Li Heitan must have utilized the beauty trap! Also!¡±


    ¡°Old Qian, why didn¡¯t little Chen choose you? Was he so determined to study cardiovascular surgery? Definitely not!


    Think about it, in the cardiovascular department, there¡¯s Xia Gaofeng, the Second Provincial Hospital has Tao Zi, why did he not choose them but went for a less experienced Meng Xi?¡±


    Seeing Wang Xiangjun¡¯s well-argued points, Qian Liang found himself speechless!


    Wang Xiangjun snorted, ¡°I thought about it over and over, and finally, I figured it out. This Li Heitan is as sly as they come, turning to the beauty trap when he can¡¯t win by fair means.¡±


    But as much as Wang Xiangjun was frustrated by this, what could he do? The emergency department was full of tall guys, each weighing over a hundred kilos, where could they find a flower-like young girl!


    It was driving him nuts!


    Thinking of this, Wang Xiangjun suddenly realized, ¡°Old Qian, next year when we¡¯re hiring, let¡¯s consider recruiting some good-looking nurses¡­ It¡¯s definitely useful for attracting and retaining talent!¡±


    Qian Liang thoughtfully agreed, it seemed¡­ like a good idea indeed!

 Chapter 511 - Chapter 511: Chapter 511: Selling a Daughter for Glory, Qin Xiaoyuan

    Chapter 511: Chapter 511: Selling a Daughter for Glory, Qin Xiaoyuan


    Qian Liang suddenly slapped the table!


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally figured it out, why Chen Cang won¡¯t leave Second Provincial Hospital!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun was startled by Qian Liang, and seeing Qian Liang so righteously indignant, Wang Xiangjun was also stunned.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    Qian Liang narrowed his eyes, ¡°Think about it. Second Provincial Hospital doesn¡¯t offer any special benefits or care to Chen Cang. Compared to the contributions Chen has made, the hospital seems unmoved, even¡­ the rewards they give are just standard. Aren¡¯t they afraid Chen will leave?¡±


    ¡°Now I understand, Qin Xiaoyuan is truly a sly fox! A heartless old fox!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun was taken aback, ¡°Old Qian, be more specific, I don¡¯t quite understand!¡±


    Qian Liang chuckled and pointed at the photo of the young girl, ¡°Look at this!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun looked closely, ¡°Hmm, she¡¯s quite pretty!¡±


    Qian Liang: ¡­


    ¡°Do you know who she is?¡±


    Wang Xiangjun shook his head, could there be¡­ something hidden behind this?


    Indeed, Qian Liang slowly uttered a few words, ¡°Qin Yue, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s only daughter!¡±


    As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiangjun gasped in shock.


    My dear goodness!


    So the director Qin had really invested heavily, huh?


    If he¡¯s entrusted his daughter to you, what more could you want?


    With this thought, Wang Xiangjun and Qian Liang exchanged a look, seeing something called wariness in each other¡¯s eyes.


    Too cruel!


    It was simply too cruel.


    At this moment, Qin Xiaoyuan had become a ¡°demon trading his daughter for glory¡± and ¡°a man with a beast¡¯s heart¡± in their minds!


    A long silence¡­


    Suddenly, both men spoke at the same time:


    ¡°Old Qian, do you have a daughter?¡±


    ¡°Old Wang, do you have a daughter?¡±


    They were instantly taken aback!


    Qian Liang rolled his eyes, ¡°You know very well, my daughter is already married!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun stared back, ¡°You forgot the nickname you gave my son when he was born?¡±


    The two men looked at each other, sighing again.


    Helpless¡­ completely helpless!


    After a while, Wang Xiangjun suddenly said, ¡°How about¡­ I take Little Meng? Transfer her to my department?¡±


    Qian Liang rolled his eyes again, ¡°Enough, enough, stop fooling around!¡±


    As soon as he heard this, Wang Xiangjun glared, ¡°How am I fooling around? I¡¯m thinking about our department, our hospital!¡±


    Qian Liang shook his head, ¡°Let¡¯s think of another way.¡±


    Suddenly, Wang Xiangjun said, ¡°I have an idea!¡±


    Qian Liang: ¡°What idea?¡±


    Wang Xiangjun, squinting his eyes and smiling, said, ¡°This morning, I made a special trip to Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s emergency room. No good, it¡¯s too idle there. It¡¯s a place for Chen to retire if he works part-time. It¡¯s better to send him to us, we¡¯ll give him some training!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll call Director He Tong from the 120 Emergency Center and have him join us. Just say our hospital has been too busy lately, and ask if they could lend us Chen for a while!¡±


    With this thought, Wang Xiangjun hurriedly stood up and walked toward the outside!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    It was a little past ten in the morning when Li Baoshan received a call that He Tong, the director of the emergency center, and Wang Xiangjun, the director of the emergency department at Dongda First Hospital, were coming to the hospital for an urgent consultation.


    Upon receiving the message, Li Baoshan suddenly had a bad feeling!


    As it happened, Tao Zi and Li Baoshan had just finished a surgery. Seeing Li Baoshan¡¯s furrowed brow, Tao Zi immediately asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Old Li?¡±


    Li Baoshan frowned slightly, ¡°Wang Xiangjun and Director He from the emergency center are coming, I wonder what it¡¯s about?¡±


    As soon as Tao Zi heard this, he said, ¡°Oh? I¡¯m on good terms with Old He, shall we go over and take a look together?¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded!


    Half an hour later, everyone sat down in the office of the director of the emergency department.


    Wang Xiangjun had already made up his mind, Li Charcoal, you have your beauty tricks, and I have my masochistic strategy!


    If that doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll add a decoy strategy!


    Wang Xiangjun had been working up his emotions for quite a while, but¡­ he just couldn¡¯t cry.


    He Tong looked at Wang Xiangjun¡¯s effortful expression, and the corner of his mouth twitched¡ªso ugly!


    After a long while, when everyone was seated.


    Wang Xiangjun got straight to the point with a long sigh, ¡°Ah¡­ Old Li!¡±


    With this remark, deeply heartfelt, Li Baoshan was immediately taken aback, ¡°Director Wang¡­ what¡¯s the matter with you?¡±


    Wang Xiangjun took a deep breath, ¡°I¡¯ve been so exhausted recently; I haven¡¯t had more than 40 hours of sleep in the last week. Last night I barely got to bed after 2 a.m., it¡¯s just been too busy!¡±


    Li Baoshan empathized, and thinking of Wang Xiangjun¡¯s emergency department at Dongda First Hospital, he nodded somewhat apologetically, ¡°Yes, the emergency department at Dongda First Hospital does bear a huge responsibility, Director Wang, you must be exhausted.¡±


    Seeing he was getting somewhere, Wang Xiangjun¡¯s eyes turned red, ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m afraid of the hard work, nor just because I¡¯m tired. This is the basic quality we emergency medicine people should have, don¡¯t you agree? Right, Old Li?¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Definitely.¡±


    Wang Xiangjun continued, ¡°But to be honest, an emergency doctor has to be toughened up like that. Think about our times back then, how many surgeries in a day, right? Without patients, without resuscitations, without cases, how could you possibly improve? Right, Old Li?¡±


    Li Baoshan strongly agreed, ¡°Yes, back in our days, there were not so many emergency departments around, not to mention so many patients. Every day¡­ But indeed, the improvement was incredibly fast!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun pressed on, ¡°So, my visit today is to seek cooperation with Director Li. I think our brother hospitals should enhance cooperation and elevate each other. My thought is to toughen up the doctors under your command, take them over for some training to boost their skills. On one hand, it could improve the emergency response level at Province Second Hospital, and on the other, it could relieve the current pressure on us.¡±


    ¡°Director Li, what do you think of this idea?¡±


    As soon as Li Baoshan heard this, his face darkened instantly; he had been talking in circles, but wasn¡¯t this just a ploy to borrow staff?


    Who has caught his eye?


    Li Baoshan cooperated, ¡°Hmm! That¡¯s right, how about I let Chen Cang go over for some training?¡±


    Wang Xiangjun couldn¡¯t contain himself and slapped his thigh, ¡°Great! I think that¡¯s a great idea, I will definitely¡­¡±


    Li Baoshan snorted coldly, ¡°Great? Great my ass!¡±


    Wang Xiangjun immediately felt a pang of anxiety, have I¡­ blown it?


    Seeing the two of them like this, He Tong couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s not argue. The recent pressure on Dongda First Hospital does seem to be quite large. I¡¯m here today to¡­¡±


    Li Baoshan looked at He Tong, ¡°Old He, I misjudged you. I didn¡¯t expect you to be this kind of person! To actually side with Wang Xiangjun¡­¡±


    He Tong gave an embarrassed smile and said, ¡°Baoshan, don¡¯t be upset, let me finish!¡±


    ¡°The purpose of my visit is to ask your opinion, to see if Province Second Hospital could form a robust emergency response team, mainly for vehicle accident cases that require urgent surgery. After all, our current emergency resources are limited, and if Province Second Hospital could step up, I believe the efficiency of our rescue efforts would significantly increase. Plus, I would then feel assured about the 120 ambulance service bringing patients here.¡±


    ¡°This team would need the collaboration and participation in rescue operations from the cardiothoracic surgery, orthopedics, and general surgery departments.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Baoshan said, ¡°Director He, let me give you a response tomorrow.¡±


    ¡­

 Chapter 512 - Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Put Your Hand Down!

    Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Put Your Hand Down!


    Before the morning shift change, Chen Cang habitually arrived at the emergency department early.


    Last night was peaceful, with the nation prospering and the people at peace, and the night shift doctor Wang Qian leisurely hugged his McDonald¡¯s breakfast while scrolling through TikTok.


    A sly smile leaked from his mouth, as smug as the fifth lumbar vertebra¡ªvery cheeky!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh and say, ¡°Qian¡¯er bro, it seems like you¡¯re here for a holiday, huh?¡±


    Wang Qian smiled proudly, ¡°Of course, that¡¯s because I have good karma, and a fair complexion!¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless. It seemed¡­ indeed that was the case. Sometimes in the emergency department, you really couldn¡¯t discount the superstitions. There were so-called jinxed doctors, like himself for example.


    All of a sudden, he had a realization as to why Director Li always looked so grim!


    With nothing to do, Chen Cang decided to open his attribute panel, since it had been a long time since he checked it, only to suddenly feel that after level 30, the speed of leveling up had slowed down.


    He had only gone up one level after defeating a level 75 elite monster yesterday, which puzzled Chen Cang.


    In the past, even removing an appendix could lead to a level up!


    Chen Cang: Level: 35 (230/70000)


    Profession:


    Cardiothoracic Surgeon: Professional Rating: 24 points.


    Thoracic Surgeon: Professional Rating: 40 points.


    Skill Points: 16 points.


    Meng Xi¡¯s Favorability: Current 40 points (Favorability 60 points.)


    When Chen Cang saw that he needed 70,000 experience points to level up, he couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback. Wasn¡¯t that a bit too much?


    One appendectomy only added 200 experience points, and with the double bonus, it was just 400. Did he have to perform 200 appendectomies just to go up one level?


    Alas, now it seemed the system was telling him to stop being a noob in the newbie village and quickly level up outside!


    He originally thought reaching level 40 would be easy, but now it seemed it wasn¡¯t that simple!


    Where could he find enough high-level mobs to level up¡­


    However, when Chen Cang saw his professional scores, his heart leapt with joy. His thoracic surgery professional skill score had reached 40 points?


    It really happened without him noticing!


    Chen Cang opened his skill panel and saw a long list of skills, which made him blush a bit.


    He couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Doctor Jing is such a good person!¡±


    After all, many of the gifts in there were from Doctor Jing. Thinking of this, Chen Cang felt maybe he should invite Doctor Jing for a meal one day?


    Otherwise, he would feel guilty!


    In that moment, Chen Cang truly understood the meaning of the saying:


    ¡°When drinking water, don¡¯t forget those who dug the well!¡±


    But looking at the pile of unfinished tasks, Chen Cang suddenly felt that if he wanted to drink water, he still needed to dig the well!


    However, if he wanted to level up, Chen Cang needed to come up with a plan, aiming to find more surgeries that were on par with his level to perform, otherwise the experience gain was too slow!


    He couldn¡¯t learn level four surgeries before reaching level 40, which severely restricted his development. He couldn¡¯t stay a bottom-tier worker forever, could he?


    It was bad enough that he finally got a level four surgery, but it was an incomplete version, which left Chen Cang quite dissatisfied!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When it was time to change shifts, Li Baoshan walked into the office and said to everyone, ¡°I have an announcement to make today.¡±


    Nurse Tian Xianglan rolled her eyes. Since coming in August, there was an announcement every day, making the head nurse count costs daily and feel mentally drained.


    Because whenever the department head made an announcement, the chief steward, the head nurse, had to worry about a whole host of trivial matters.


    Li Baoshan continued, ¡°Yesterday, Director He from the Emergency Center came over. Right now the work of dispatching at the Emergency Center is quite troublesome, and the pressure on various hospitals is significant. Compared to the patients needing resuscitation, our medical resources are still insufficient. I discussed it with the hospital leaders yesterday, and the hospital has decided to establish a special action team to contribute our strength.¡±


    ¡°This special action team will mainly focus on emergency surgeries, like those for car accidents, injuries from accidents, and other urgent operations. Therefore, the hospital will select someone from the relevant departments to join our special action team. As the leading department, emergency care needs to provide three people: one team leader and two surgeons.¡±


    ¡°Of course, the hospital can¡¯t let everyone work hard for nothing. Everyone participating in the special action team will receive special allowances and benefits from the hospital. I¡¯ll send the information to the group for everyone to take a look first.¡±


    Hearing Li Baoshan¡¯s words, there was a buzz of discussion below.


    The emergency department was already busy and tiring. Now, if a special action team were established, the workload and responsibility of this team would certainly be even greater!


    As for the special allowance, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang¡¯s heart was racing with excitement. Wasn¡¯t this an opportunity?


    He was just wondering where to find higher-level challenges, and now that he had the chance, naturally, he couldn¡¯t refuse.


    Li Baoshan looked at the crowd and said, ¡°I will pick the team leader. As for the two surgeons, who wants to join?¡±


    No sooner had the words left his lips than everyone began to exchange glances.


    Luo Zhou wanted to join, but he lacked the experience to take on such an important role.


    Old Chen was also tempted, but¡­ for many reasons, he had no choice.


    Chen Cang raised his hand!


    And following suit, Wang Qian, Wang Kai¡¯an, and Jiang Tao also raised their hands.


    Li Baoshan surveyed the room, nodding his head, ¡°Wang Qian, Wang Kai¡¯an, you two then. Jiang Tao, you cooperate well with Director An in orthopedic surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang was suddenly taken aback¡­


    Do you look down on me?


    But immediately after, Li Baoshan continued, ¡°That¡¯s settled then. Little Chen, you will be the team leader. Wang Qian and Wang Kai¡¯an, you will assist Chen Cang.¡±


    The crowd was stunned, looking toward Chen Cang.


    Even Chen Cang himself was somewhat taken aback. Was he actually the team leader?


    Did Director Li think too highly of him?


    After finishing, Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang, Wang Qian, and Wang Kai¡¯an, ¡°No objections, right?¡±


    The crowd shook their heads.


    Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Then I will report this now.¡±


    After Li Baoshan left, he headed to the Dean¡¯s office where Zhang Youfu and Tao Zi were already there.


    Qin Xiaoyuan asked, ¡°How did it go, have you chosen yet?¡±


    Li Baoshan took out a piece of paper, ¡°Chen Cang is the team leader, Wang Kai¡¯an and Wang Qian are the doctors.¡±


    Zhang Youfu said, ¡°For our department, it¡¯s Zhou Xiaodong.¡±


    Tao Zi, ¡°For our department, it¡¯s Zhang Wenfu.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was stunned, the average age and experience of these people weren¡¯t high, the oldest was Wang Kai¡¯an, an associate chief physician, but because of his high education level, he was only 35 years old this year.


    Zhang Wenfu, an attending physician, was also 35 years old, and the rest were all young men.


    This made Tao Zi somewhat uneasy, and he looked at Li Baoshan.


    ¡°Director Li, isn¡¯t Little Chen too young to be the team leader? After all¡­ resuscitation work is quite complex?¡±


    Li Baoshan had already thought about this problem all night, ¡°I have faith in him. This kid is like a spring; the greater the pressure, the more energy he bursts out with!¡±


    ¡°Besides, aren¡¯t we their support?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s try it out. If it doesn¡¯t work, Baoshan, you will have to personally take over.¡±


    Seeing Qin Xiaoyuan give his approval, everyone else nodded as well.


    And like that, the emergency resuscitation team roster of the Second Provincial Hospital was officially confirmed.

 Chapter 513 - Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Emergency Room Veteran Driver

    Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Emergency Room Veteran Driver


    After Qin Xiaoyuan and Li Baoshan settled on the list, they immediately publicized it.


    With that, the team was officially established.


    Chen Cang would be the leader, with Wang Kai¡¯an, Zhang Wenfu, Wang Qian, and Zhou Xiaodong as members.


    Following the announcement of the list, there was a wave of unusual yet noticeable reactions within the hospital.


    This truly was a young team, from its leader to its members, all were young.


    Chen Cang was even under 30 years old!


    Amidst the wonder, there was certainly no shortage of doubt and worry.


    Because the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital wasn¡¯t strong, otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t so rarely receive critically ill patients.


    They would only be sent here when it was confirmed that the various directors were available to participate in surgeries.


    That is, the formerly known Operating Room 3.


    But now, with the establishment of this emergency rescue team at the Second Provincial Hospital, things were different!


    This meant taking on the work assigned by the emergency center, ready at any moment to initiate urgent rescues and dispatch.


    This was not only a test for the emergency department, but it was also a severe challenge for the entire Second Provincial Hospital.


    And for such a test, they had dispatched such a young team!


    And the leader was the currently rising star, Chen Cang!


    This caused some concern among everyone, could he¡­ handle it?


    It wasn¡¯t that they looked down on him, but that they were truly worried!


    After all, this kind of rescue work was different from the usual emergency cases; these rescues, all of them involved critical conditions that threatened patients¡¯ lives.


    Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Do you have confidence?¡±


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, who could say they had confidence? In the face of life, no one dared to boast!


    Yet, Chen Cang said with determination, ¡°I have resolve!¡±


    After hearing this, Li Baoshan patted Chen Cang on the shoulder and smiled, ¡°Go for it, we¡¯re here for you!¡±


    After speaking, Li Baoshan got up and left, but as he turned around, he added, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, if anything happens, I¡¯ll cover for you, and if there¡¯s a problem, I¡¯ll take responsibility!¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel a tremor through his body, his heart filling with more gratitude.


    Watching the slightly frail figure of Director Li walking away, Chen Cang clenched his fists tightly.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    New recruits often face a cold bucket of water thrown at them to make them clearly understand that they are just rookies.


    This form of ¡°bullying the new¡± exists in every industry!


    The emergency department is no exception. After the establishment of the emergency rescue team, that very day at noon, the 120 emergency center made a call.


    An accident occurred at the South Chaoyang construction site, and driver Old Yang immediately prepared to set off. Chen Cang was first to respond, stepping onto the ambulance with Wang Qian.


    The other members quickly put down their utensils and began to prepare.


    It was exactly lunchtime when Li Baoshan, who was eating, hurried over after receiving the news.


    Since it was their first time, it was inevitable to feel a bit worried.


    Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng were discussing this year¡¯s Surgical Skills Competition when their conversation turned to Chen Cang. Suddenly, they received a call from Li Baoshan.


    ¡°Old Tao, come to the hospital, they¡¯ve taken on a surgery!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tao Zi immediately put down his chopsticks and said to Xia Gaofeng, ¡°Director Xia, I have to go back to the hospital now, there¡¯s a surgery.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng nodded and, out of curiosity, asked, ¡°What surgery?¡±


    While getting dressed, Tao Zi stood up and said, ¡°The hospital has just established an emergency rescue team. The members are too young; with Little Chen as the leader, I¡¯m not at ease. I¡¯ll go have a look!¡±


    On hearing this, Xia Gaofeng became curious and instantly said, ¡°I¡¯ll go too.¡±


    While they spoke, the two of them packed up, leaving behind a table of barely touched food. After paying, they told the server, ¡°Pack it up and send it to the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at the Provincial Second Hospital.¡±


    Waste?


    Not an option.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    It was a less than 5-minute drive from Chaoyang Road. Chen Cang looked at Wang Qian, somewhat curious.


    In his view, Wang Qian was the least likely person to join the emergency rescue team. After all, he had not been married long, his family was well-off. People would expect him to find a stable and respectable job at the hospital¡ªwhy bother with all this hassle?


    But Wang Qian had joined nonetheless.


    This aroused Chen Cang¡¯s curiosity, but at the moment, no one was in the mood for idle chatter.


    When you¡¯re used to driver Old Yang¡¯s driving, taking a taxi feels particularly urgent. Old Yang drove fast and steady, and he didn¡¯t have to wait for traffic lights; he was a true veteran driver.


    If you¡¯re being precise, he¡¯s also a member of the Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s emergency response team.


    As the car entered the construction site, dust flew everywhere they went.


    Through the window, they could see a crowd surrounding a man in the center, all of them at a loss about what to do.


    The moment the car came to a halt, Chen Cang, carrying the first aid kit, and Wang Qian ran down.


    Chen Cang called out to the crowd, ¡°Please clear the way, everyone!¡±


    The construction workers quickly made room.


    The patient was not yet unconscious and lay on the ground, struggling to breathe with his eyes closed, hands clutching his chest, his face contorted in pain, sweat seeping continuously from his forehead¡­ dripping onto the ground!


    Chen Cang hurried forward, took off his stethoscope, and asked, ¡°What happened? How was he injured?¡±


    Severe pain made it difficult for the man to speak; gasping for breath, he had no energy to talk.


    Then, a worker clad in a military green camouflage uniform spoke up, ¡°He was pushing a cement cart forward, and when going downhill, the cart suddenly hit a stone, and he collided with the cart.¡±


    ¡°Right here!¡± the worker pointed to the man¡¯s chest and then to the cement cart nearby, ¡°At first, we didn¡¯t think it was serious, but after he took a few steps, he suddenly fell to the ground, and we immediately called 120 [emergency services].¡±


    Hearing the man¡¯s words, Chen Cang quickly ran through the possibilities in his head, wondering what the situation could be!


    According to the bystanders, it should be a chest trauma¡­


    With this in mind, Chen Cang quickly opened the first aid kit, took out the scissors, and cut open the man¡¯s shirt!


    Suddenly, the entire chest was exposed!


    The man was skinny; that was Chen Cang¡¯s first impression, his ribs clearly visible!


    But this also allowed Chen Cang to observe more clearly.


    The second, third, and fourth ribs on the left side were fractured to varying degrees, with a noticeable depression.


    And then there was the strongest point of the heartbeat.


    Chen Cang paused briefly!


    If based on the patient¡¯s physique, the strongest point of the heartbeat should be clearly visible, but there was no such sign in the patient!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang quickly said to Wang Qian, ¡°Check his blood pressure!¡±


    Wang Qian nodded, and Chen Cang proceeded to listen to the patient¡¯s heart sounds with the stethoscope.


    The strongest point of the heartbeat had a significantly weakened heart sound, S1 weak with a murmur¡­ pulmonary artery auscultation area¡­ aortic auscultation area¡­


    Suddenly, Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed!


    In the aortic auscultation area, he distinctly heard a murmur.


    At that moment, connecting several clues together, Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed.


    And just then, Wang Qian finished measuring the blood pressure!


    ¡°The blood pressure is only 70/30 mmHg!¡±

 Chapter 514 - Chapter 514: Chapter 514: A Narrow Escape from Death

    Chapter 514: Chapter 514: A Narrow Escape from Death


    Wang Qian felt tense, making this choice today was truly the biggest step he had ever taken!


    He was stepping out of his comfort zone to become a real emergency medicine doctor!


    But when he saw how fragile life was in front of him, he felt very guilty and helpless.


    Because¡­ at this moment, he was at a loss!


    When he reported the blood pressure!


    Chen Cang¡¯s pupils constricted, and he turned to shout, ¡°Old Yang, bring the stretcher over!¡±


    The driver, Old Yang, upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s command, pushed the stretcher over without hesitation, and Chen Cang took a deep breath and said to a somewhat tense Wang Qian:


    ¡°On to the ambulance!¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s in charge here, come to the hospital with us.¡±


    At this time, a bald man and a worker in camo gear came out from the crowd.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡±


    The two hurriedly boarded the ambulance.


    Clearly, the bald man seemed to be the person in charge, and the camo-clad worker seemed to be a fellow villager.


    But Chen Cang dared not entertain any thoughts at this time, he had just boarded the vehicle and told the driver Old Yang, ¡°Yang, drive steady but fast!¡±


    It was a seemingly contradictory request, but to Old Yang, who was already accustomed to it.


    Chen Cang glanced at Wang Qian, ¡°Set up the ECG monitor, get ready for pericardiocentesis!¡±


    Wang Qian nodded immediately, at this moment Chen Cang became his pillar.


    His hands moved quickly and smoothly.


    While Wang Qian was setting up the ECG monitor, Chen Cang opened the pericardiocentesis needle, preparing for the puncture!


    Diagnosis: blunt chest trauma, accompanied by sudden deceleration of the body!


    Symptoms: sternum fracture, sudden drop in blood pressure, rapid breathing, aortic murmur, abnormal S1 heart sound, second aortic area on auscultation¡­


    Various possibilities kept surfacing in Chen Cang¡¯s mind.


    All the symptoms and signs were like variables, leading to one possible diagnosis!


    When all the conditions came together, Chen Cang thought of several possibilities!


    But the most likely was a traumatic injury of the great vessels inside the chest!


    Moreover, it was highly likely that it was an injury to the thoracic aorta, and based on the heart sounds, it was likely not at the aortic isthmus!


    If not there¡­ then it was at¡­


    The more Chen Cang pondered, the more fearful he became.


    Who could have expected that on his first call-out, he would encounter such a thorny case.


    Proportionally speaking, the patient had a one in ten chance of survival!


    Chen Cang looked up at the two who had followed in the vehicle, ¡°Contact the family, inform them the patient is in life-threatening condition, they could die at any time!¡±


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, the two went pale!


    After all, including up until now, the patient was still breathing, still struggling, still¡­


    The worker¡¯s hand, gripping the phone, was clearly trembling.


    And Baoshan swallowed hard, his eyes darting around quickly, unsure of what to think.


    ¡°Doctor, you¡¯re not joking, right?¡±


    Chen Cang retorted, ¡°Joking?¡±


    Then he said no more!


    If he hadn¡¯t guessed wrong, the patient could be suffering from a closed rupture of major blood vessels in the chest, and such closed wounds have an 80% likelihood of occurring at the aortic isthmus, but¡­ this patient might just be in the unfortunate twenty percent.


    That twenty percent are the most unlucky ones, whose injury might have occurred at the very beginning of the aorta, that is, at the ascending aorta.


    What did this mean?


    According to the latest medical reports!


    This kind of injury meant there was only a 10% to 20% chance that the victim would make it to the hospital!


    And the remaining eighty percent would die of massive bleeding either at the scene or on the way to the hospital!


    A rupture at the starting point of the ascending aorta could lead to acute cardiac tamponade, which is difficult to distinguish from cardiac injuries.


    Now, all the symptoms were based solely on Chen Cang¡¯s own judgment!


    Just as Chen Cang was preparing for pericardial puncture,


    the cardiac monitor was connected.


    And various alarms began to ring out incessantly.


    Chen Cang looked up and saw the systolic blood pressure was actually below 50!


    Could it be damage to the heart?


    With that thought, where was Chen Cang still preparing for any pericardial puncture?


    Because whether he punctured or not, the outcome would be death!


    Not puncturing would also mean death!


    What to do?


    Chen Cang simply couldn¡¯t bear the thought that he would fail a rescue on his first day on the job!


    With that thought, Chen Cang steeled himself!


    He said to Wang Qian, ¡°Call Director Li and tell him I need to operate now!¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Wang Qian¡¯s face changed dramatically!


    He hurried to start reporting the situation!


    Li Baoshan and the others had already been anxiously waiting.


    When Wang Qian¡¯s phone rang, Li Baoshan quickly asked, ¡°Wang Qian, what¡¯s the situation? What happened?¡±


    A series of questions left Wang Qian unsure of how to respond because¡­ apart from the blood pressure, he knew nothing else!


    What should he say?


    Chen Cang took the phone and said directly, ¡°Director Li, I suspect a closed large vessel injury within the thorax. The patient suffered a violent impact to the left chest, with rib fractures at the second, third, and fourth levels! I now seriously suspect a tear at the ascending aorta¡¯s origin, and the patient¡¯s systolic pressure is now less than 50 and still dropping!¡±


    ¡°If I don¡¯t perform a thoracotomy to stop the bleeding now, the patient might not even make it to the hospital in five minutes!¡±


    No sooner had he spoken than Li Baoshan was still unable to react, while Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng widened their eyes, their expressions changed, and their brows furrowed tightly.


    Seeing Li Baoshan dazed, Tao Zi grabbed the phone and urgently said to Chen Cang, ¡°Chen! Rescue him with all your might. Go ahead and do what you need to do. I¡¯ll call the dean and file for you! Don¡¯t delay even a minute!¡±


    After speaking, she hung up the phone with a click!


    Li Baoshan was immediately taken aback. ¡°Director Tao, what¡¯s going on?¡±


    Tao Zi¡¯s expression was grave!


    ¡°Based on Chen¡¯s description, the patient¡¯s condition is extremely critical. There¡¯s an eighty percent chance that the patient will die on the way!¡±


    ¡°If we don¡¯t perform surgery, the patient might already be gone by the time we reach the hospital!¡±


    That comment left Li Baoshan completely stunned.


    Xia Gaofeng nodded, ¡°If Chen¡¯s judgment is correct, the patient has less than a twenty percent chance of survival, and¡­ that¡¯s the highest estimate!¡±


    ¡°If the damage extends to the heart, the patient has less than a five percent chance of survival!¡±


    Li Baoshan was dumbfounded. He hadn¡¯t expected that Chen Cang¡¯s first callout would involve such a patient.


    Even Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng exchanged solemn glances.


    ¡°To encounter such a case on the first run is really tough for the new guy!¡±


    After saying that, Tao Zi immediately dialed the Department of Medical Affairs to start preparations.


    Meanwhile, Li Baoshan immediately organized the emergency rescue efforts.


    There was so much more to be done now!


    Chen Cang passed the phone to Wang Qian and took a scalpel from the emergency kit.


    Perhaps¡­


    At this moment, trusting in God was less reassuring than trusting in the scalpel in hand!


    Seeing this, Wang Qian quickly began to disinfect!


    The two bystanders were filled with trepidation¡­


    This might be the only time in their lives they would be on the scene of a surgery, seeing a human heart¡­

 Chapter 515 - Chapter 515: Chapter 515: What a Character!

    Chapter 515: Chapter 515: What a Character!


    ¡°`


    This was the most critical patient Chen Cang had ever encountered in his life!


    Without a doubt!


    The most critical wasn¡¯t the most serious, as many severe patients before Chen Cang simply had no chance of being resuscitated.


    But at this moment, Chen Cang felt there was an opportunity!


    Actually, taking an X-ray at this time would have been most appropriate to make a judgment, but¡­ where was the time to go back and do it?


    The patient¡¯s blood pressure was almost gone, with a ruptured ascending aorta, accompanying heart tamponade, and it was still uncertain whether the heart was damaged. If things proceeded as usual, the patient might really be gone before reaching the hospital.


    Recently, Chen Cang had intensely studied cardiovascular diseases, especially emergency treatments.


    He clearly remembered reading the latest report, which stated that in last year¡¯s traffic accidents in America, the incidence of thoracic aortic injury was about 15%, and among these, only five percent were ruptures of the ascending aorta. Of this five percent, only ten percent had a chance to be transported to a hospital, and of this meager ten percent, only twenty percent could be successfully resuscitated!


    What this implied went without saying!


    Was Chen Cang unaware that surgery in the ambulance had a greater chance of infection?


    Did Chen Cang not understand that diagnosis should be confirmed under chest radiography, SCT, or EBCT? Wouldn¡¯t it be best to perform an angiography of the aorta to determine the location of the injury?


    Yet, all this applied only under permissible conditions.


    Now, let alone CT and angiography, there wasn¡¯t even a chance for a chest X-ray!


    Chen Cang clearly remembered!


    According to the newest guidelines, if an aortic rupture was suspected with extremely unstable circulation, accompanied by direct signs of rupture and secondary penetration (hemothorax, cardiac tamponade), immediate surgical exploration and intervention was mandatory!


    That¡¯s why Chen Cang had now chosen to perform a direct thoracotomy to explore and stop the bleeding.


    In moments when you¡¯ve no other options, the guidelines are your reliance and also your legal basis!


    Was he unaware of the risks associated with everything he was about to do?


    He knew them all!


    But at this moment, it was life that was slipping away; there was no time to delay!


    Chen Cang decisively said, ¡°Old Yang, stop the car ahead.¡±


    The driver, Old Yang, couldn¡¯t help but become startled: ???


    Through the rearview mirror, he saw Chen Cang was about to perform surgery, and his face instantly changed!


    But without uttering another word, he found a suitable spot and stopped the vehicle promptly.


    During the transport of patients in a 120 ambulance, the doctor¡¯s words were like military orders, and Chen Cang was the leader of the rescue team.


    Chen Cang looked up at the two patients and said, ¡°Get off, hurry to the Provincial Second Hospital.¡±


    Both of their faces changed instantly. The bald man wanted to speak, but it was evident that Wang Qian didn¡¯t give them the chance, sending them on their way.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, feeling a bit nervous.


    This was the first time he had independently handled such a critical patient, and also the first time he was performing surgery in an ambulance.


    In such circumstances, anesthesia needed to be stable, using little to no drugs that suppressed the circulatory system. For critically injured patients, the best approach was to commence the relevant surgery under local anesthesia first, and then induce general anesthesia or perform endotracheal intubation.


    Given the circumstances, Chen Cang could only perform local anesthesia!


    The local anesthesia took effect rather quickly, and in no time,


    Chen Cang picked up the scalpel and made a direct incision in the center of the chest!


    Wang Qian nervously said, ¡°We don¡¯t have many gauzes¡­¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, then carefully retracted the sternum¡­ and gradually saw a hair-raising scene!


    It was a sea of blood.


    Chen Cang turned to Wang Qian and said, ¡°Draw blood!¡±


    Wang Qian¡¯s face also changed, but he immediately picked up the syringe and began drawing blood!


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were intently fixed on the pericardial area, where the pericardium resembled an overstuffed bun full of blood, ready to burst. Chen Cang made a small incision, and a stream of fresh blood gushed out.


    ¡°Hemostat!¡±


    ¡°`


    The bleeding site is now exposed¡ªit¡¯s at the start of the left ventricular outflow tract, a region that¡¯s relatively fixed, which means it¡¯s prone to rupture from violent impacts or sudden deceleration!


    Fortunately¡­ the ribs didn¡¯t damage the heart.


    Perhaps that¡¯s the only thing to be thankful for.


    Blood pressure is very low, and Chen Cang is left with no choice, but this is a battle without options¡ªif he doesn¡¯t make an effort, the patient will surely die.


    Chen Cang decisively cut open the pericardium, revealing the hemorrhaging area completely.


    ¡°Do we have any non-invasive hemostatic forceps?¡±


    Wang Qian was startled, then immediately shook his head: ¡°No!¡±


    Who would prepare such things in a rescue vehicle?


    After hesitating for a moment, Chen Cang suddenly took up position with both hands, pressing on the area, pinching the tear closed¡ªthe bleeding stopped.


    The blood pressure temporarily stabilized¡­


    But the patient¡¯s life, like the leaves of this season, still quivered in the wind.


    Thankfully, after contact with the pericardial tamponade, the patient¡¯s bleeding was under control, and the blood pressure was gradually rising.


    Chen Cang spoke to Old Yang, ¡°Back to the hospital!¡±


    Old Yang glanced at Chen Cang through the rear-view mirror, nodded solemnly, and started the vehicle steadily, pulling away toward the hospital.


    Through his hands, Chen Cang could feel the force of the blood flowing out, could distinctly feel the trace of this life.


    Minutes later, the vehicle stopped directly at the emergency department¡¯s special entrance of the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t dare to move, while the driver Old Yang immediately jumped to the back and, together with Wang Qian, carefully laid the gurney down.


    Down below, Li Baoshan, Tao Zi, Xia Gaofeng, and others were already waiting anxiously!


    Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Straight to the operating room!¡±


    The crowd didn¡¯t question him, and at this moment in the operating room, Wang Kai¡¯an, Zhou Xiaodong, and Zhang Wenfu from the cardiovascular surgery team had already dressed and were waiting for the arrival of the patient!


    The transfusion department, the laboratory, the medical office, the anesthesiologist¡­ everyone was ready, waiting for Chen Cang¡¯s return.


    With Chen Cang¡¯s arrival, the rescue preparations officially began!


    Everyone started their work in an orderly fashion!


    Blood draw, urgent lab work, blood matching¡­


    The medical office handled the contact, signatures, authorizations¡­


    The anesthesiologist was Liu Jian, who, upon seeing Chen Cang had already opened the chest and was pressing down on the heart with his hands, couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes in shock.


    The extracorporeal circulation machine was already being prepared.


    At that moment, Wang Kai¡¯an with a non-invasive vascular clamp in hand glanced at Chen Cang: ¡°Let me take over!¡±


    The voice wasn¡¯t loud, but it was very firm.


    Chen Cang nodded, carefully completing the handover.


    When Chen Cang stepped out, Wang Kai¡¯an began the related work with the three men and the anesthesiologist.


    Intravenous cannulation!


    Start extracorporeal circulation!


    Liu Jian then started endotracheal intubation, preparing for anesthesia.


    This kind of surgery needed to be performed with the heart stopped, and when everything was ready, Zhang Wenfu blocked the distal end of the ascending aorta to prevent blood from flowing through.


    When Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng saw the tear in the patient¡¯s ascending aorta starting at the surface and running under the pericardium, they couldn¡¯t help but feel shocked.


    This¡­ really was as Chen Cang had said, very difficult to have made it back to the hospital.


    Thinking back to how Chen Cang and Wang Qian had returned covered in blood, considering how Chen Cang used his fingers to compress and stop the bleeding all the way back to the hospital¡­


    Both felt a deep admiration.


    Chen, truly an impressive figure.

 Chapter 516 - Chapter 516: Chapter 516: What Is a Master For?

    Chapter 516: Chapter 516: What Is a Master For?


    A patient who was hanging by a thread was forcefully dragged into the operating room.


    This was already a success!


    Indeed!


    Chen Cang¡¯s ability to bring back a patient with a ruptured ascending aorta to the hospital with stable vital signs was nothing short of a miracle.


    Who else could have done it?


    Let¡¯s not talk about whether they would dare to perform surgery in an ambulance.


    But who could make a clear diagnosis through the abdominal wall of where the bleeding was?


    Who could so precisely determine the site of the bleeding and react swiftly?


    Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng asked themselves!


    Could they do it?


    But Chen Cang did.


    Accompanied by Wang Qian, a doctor with almost no experience in cardiac surgery, and an experienced emergency driver, they successfully rescued a patient who was on the brink of death.


    This was capability!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    An undeniable capability.


    In Xia Gaofeng¡¯s eyes as he looked at Chen Cang, for some reason, they were filled with respect!


    Xia Gaofeng swallowed and opened his mouth but then hesitated to speak.


    At this moment, Li Baoshan hurried over, glanced at Chen Cang who was washing his hands in preparation for surgery, and then at Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng.


    He couldn¡¯t help but look up and ask, ¡°How is it going?¡±


    Tao Zi pointed at Chen Cang and sighed, ¡°Old Li, I really envy you for having such an outstanding young man!¡±


    ¡°I tell you, in this case, little Chen has done something that not all of our generation could do, precise diagnosis, decisive surgery, and a sharp style, I¡¯m a bit impressed!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, I tell you, our hospital¡¯s rescue team won¡¯t take long to become the sharpest rescue blade in Anyang City!¡±


    That single statement left Li Baoshan somewhat astonished, but he looked up at Chen Cang, who was washing his hands, and fell silent.


    After washing his hands, Chen Cang nodded to Li Baoshan, Tao Zi, and the others and walked towards the operating room!


    Nurse Yuan Yuan quickly prepared his gown and helped Chen Cang put it on.


    Everyone standing by the operating table stepped aside to clear the main surgeon¡¯s position.


    The nearby anesthesiologist, Liu Jian, also gestured to Chen Cang that the surgery could start!


    The blood transfusion department began reporting on the transfusion status.


    ¡­


    Chen Cang nodded and said thank you.


    At that moment, the thoracic cavity was clean; Zhang Wenfu and Wang Kai¡¯an had already cleaned the blood inside.


    Wang Kai¡¯an said, ¡°I¡¯ve used antibiotics.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, looked at the two of them, and couldn¡¯t help feeling reassured.


    This is what a team is!


    While you¡¯re preparing, they¡¯ve already done all the preliminary work for you.


    Glancing at the ECG monitor and seeing steady vital signs, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief!


    This trip was not in vain!


    The most dangerous part was already behind them; comparatively, it wasn¡¯t as dangerous anymore.


    The surgery to repair the ascending aorta was something Chen Cang had learned on his own, at only a basic level.


    But without any hesitation, Chen Cang immediately spent skill points to upgrade to a master level.


    Suddenly, 7 points were consumed, leaving his wallet much lighter, with only 9 skill points remaining.


    Now, the main task for Chen Cang was to repair the ascending aorta. The ascending aorta is, theoretically, like the descending aorta, part of the thoracic aorta, but the critical difference lies in the fact that¡­


    After it is damaged, it often comes with contusions to the pericardium and injuries to the heart itself, increasing the difficulty and risk factor exponentially during repair.


    After all, you¡¯re not just mending a blood vessel; it involves the heart and pericardium as well.


    In an instant, Chen Cang opened his eyes; after special training, when he looked at the ascending aorta again, he had a clear understanding.


    [Ruptured ascending aorta monster, lv61, rare monster, warning: The ruptured ascending aorta is accompanied by a tear in the anterior wall and a split in the posterior wall, be careful when suturing.]


    Perhaps it was due to the split in the posterior wall that increased the surgical difficulty, making this ruptured ascending aorta monster a rare one.


    The forearm is easy to deal with.


    Chen Cang, ¡°Size four polyester suture.¡±


    The nurse nodded and handed it over.


    Zhang Wenfu looked at Chen Cang, at this young team leader who was seven or eight years his junior, with respect and a flood of emotions.


    Being himself from the department of cardiothoracic surgery, he was well aware of the operations and critical conditions related to it, but he was stunned when he saw Chen Cang bring back such a patient!


    When he watched the heart beating slowly and saw Chen Cang holding the blood vessels with both hands, Zhang Wenfu admired him from the bottom of his heart!


    On his first day in the emergency department, he was conquered by Chen Cang!


    Strength is the best language.


    Wasn¡¯t Wang Kai¡¯an the same?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, outside the operating room, Xia Gaofeng slapped his forehead, ¡°No, that¡¯s wrong! I just remembered, I demonstrated this aortic arch repair surgery to Chen Cang two days ago! I¡¯ll go check on the surgery.¡±


    As he spoke, he entered the operating room, and Tao Zi felt her heart sink and followed him in.


    The risks associated with the ascending aorta were still much higher compared to the descending aorta.


    Thinking that Chen Cang had just learned it, Tao Zi also felt apprehensive.


    However¡­


    Tao Zi saw Chen¡¯s repair work and was stunned for a moment, then glared fiercely at Xia Gaofeng, ¡°Are you messing with me for fun?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng was confused and didn¡¯t know how to explain¡­


    I really just taught him the day before yesterday?


    This¡­ what¡¯s going on here?


    Tao Zi looked at Chen Cang¡¯s suture repairs with a smile and teasingly looked at Xia Gaofeng, clicking her tongue, her eyes full of amusement: Do you have the nerve? Chen Cang is doing it even better than you. You said you taught him? Are you kidding me?


    Tao Zi¡¯s eyes were also wide with disbelief!


    Because Chen Cang¡¯s suturing style was totally different from her own and from Tao Zi¡¯s¡ªit was a unique suture technique.


    That¡¯s why Xia Gaofeng wasn¡¯t inclined to argue with Tao Zi and started watching seriously.


    This was undoubtedly a learning opportunity for him.


    The surgery ticked by minute by minute.


    When it came to repairing the posterior wall, Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng exchanged glances¡ªthis part was difficult¡­


    However, Chen Cang changed his technique, slightly adjusted the patient¡¯s position, and said to Zhang Wenfu, ¡°Remove the non-invasive hemostat and then raise the number two hemostat thirty degrees.¡±


    Zhang Wenfu was startled and didn¡¯t understand.


    But he did as he was told, and to his amazement, he found that dealing with this kind of posterior wall injury¡­ seemed to be much easier!


    At this moment, the three people from the cardiothoracic surgery department around him were astounded.


    Awesome!


    Simply a stroke of genius!


    The surgery continued to progress second by second, and Chen Cang¡¯s repair work was also nearing completion.


    Tao Zi didn¡¯t linger too long, sarcastically glanced at Xia Gaofeng, ¡°Great teaching! The master has been surpassed by the disciple in just two days!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng snorted, ¡°That means the master is skilled, and the disciple is talented!¡±


    Tao Zi was taken aback and looked at Xia Gaofeng, this guy wasn¡¯t usually so thick-skinned, was he?


    At that time, many people outside the emergency department were anxiously waiting for the results of the surgery; even He Tong from the emergency center had come in person, as he also knew about the uniqueness of this surgery.


    This was the first battle for the provincial second hospital¡¯s emergency department!


    ¡­


    ¡­

 Chapter 517 - Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Lucky Bag Reward.

    Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Lucky Bag Reward.


    Watching Chen Cang perform the surgery step by step, various thoughts crossed the minds of the surrounding team members.


    Wang Qian was the most emotional, knowing that the gap between himself and Chen Cang had grown, but he hadn¡¯t realized it was getting wider and wider.


    Clinical practice is the best classroom, and the patient is the best teacher.


    In the past over three years, Chen Cang worked from dawn till dusk; it seemed he never stopped learning. A day or two¡¯s difference isn¡¯t noticeable, but as days turn to months, the intangible gap piles up like a mountain. Looking back, one might only be able to look up in admiration!


    Life is like that, some people quietly move forward, others take it lightly, little do they know, every step adds up to a thousand miles, every stream can grow into a sea, a mound of earth can turn into a nine-story platform!


    When you disdain, little do you know, they have already left you far behind.


    Wang Qian swallowed and took a deep breath; today¡¯s experiences had left a deep impression on him. Today, he bravely took a step forward, stepping out of his own comfort zone to truly experience a trial and learn.


    He also witnessed the fragility of life, and felt the helplessness before life and death. He glanced at Chen Cang and made up his mind to become a qualified emergency doctor!


    After Chen Cang finished the surgery, he secured the final sternum.


    Wang Qian said, ¡°Let me do it, you take a break.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, nodded, and did not refuse.


    Watching the patient¡¯s vital signs gradually stabilize, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief.


    Not much later, the surgery finally ended.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.??


    This highly risky and life-threatening emergency rescue surgery was finally complete!


    Anesthetist Liu Jian couldn¡¯t help but give Chen Cang a thumbs up!


    During thirteen years in the field, this was the first time he had seen a doctor daring to open a chest in an ambulance.


    After the surgery, the nurses wheeled the patient to the resuscitation room, waiting to be transferred to the ICU.


    At that moment, the system¡¯s notification tone also rang out.


    [Ding! Successfully repaired the ruptured ascending aorta, reward received: 1. Experience +5000; 2. Lucky Bag +1; 3. Stamina Potion +1;]


    The rewards were quite generous, but why only 5000 experience points.


    At this time, the workers from the auxiliary departments looked at Chen Cang with admiration in their eyes.


    Everyone has great respect for the strong.


    Especially¡­ the strong ones who are handsome.


    ¡­


    The surgery room door opened, and Chen Cang and his colleagues came out. While washing their hands, people came up to say with a smile:


    ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯re truly amazing!¡±


    ¡°Right, to tell you the truth, I have been at the Second Provincial Hospital for many years, and this is the first time I¡¯ve seen a patient with an aortic rupture survive the trip to the hospital and be saved!¡±


    ¡°Forget the Second Provincial Hospital, I¡¯ve been in Dongyang for quite some time, and it¡¯s also a first for me!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, with you guys here, our emergency rescue team is finally taking shape. Now who can say that our Second Provincial Hospital doesn¡¯t have a rescue squad.¡±


    Everyone was singing his praises, and Nurse Li Ying made a joke:


    ¡°Dr. Chen, impressive! Daring to operate right in the emergency vehicle, I think from now on you might as well carry a surgical knife wherever you go!¡±


    Anesthetist Liu Jian heard this and burst out laughing: ¡°Just carrying a surgical knife isn¡¯t enough, you¡¯d need to bring me along too!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.


    With the successful rescue, everyone was in a good mood.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I owe it to everyone¡¯s help. Without the team, I couldn¡¯t have saved the day!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone was happy.


    After all, there¡¯s no such thing as a lone ranger in the medical industry, is there? Behind every success is a team¡¯s collaboration. Hearing Chen Cang say so naturally brought relief to everyone.


    That¡¯s human nature, a few nice words can make you feel so much happier, and you don¡¯t even ask for anything in return.


    The news of the successful surgery hadn¡¯t even spread before Li Baoshan and the others heard about it.


    Before the surgery, when Li Baoshan found out that He Tong had arrived and there was nothing much for him in the operating room, he decided to step out.


    Learning about the success afterward, He Tong was surprised, then relieved and reflective.


    ¡°Director Li, it seems I truly underestimated the level of your emergency department at Provincial Hospital No. 2!¡±


    Li Baoshan replied with an inscrutable smile, you underestimated us? I underestimated us myself!


    He Tong sighed, ¡°When I knew it was a patient with an ascending aortic rupture, I was really startled!¡±


    ¡°Just having been established, I was really worried that something might go wrong on the first day. Now it seems, Director Li, that Provincial Hospital No. 2 really has talents well-hidden, managing even to save such a case!¡±


    ¡°I also heard that Dr. Chen¡­ Dr. Chen precisely identified the disease in the ambulance and decisively initiated the rescue operation. That¡¯s truly impressive!¡±


    Li Baoshan responded lightly, ¡°Hmm, Chen is indeed good.¡±


    Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng walked over, looking at Li Baoshan with envy and said, ¡°Director Li, with Chen Cang around, your job as the director of the emergency department must be comfortable.¡±


    Li Baoshan smiled, not shy of flattery. Chen is mine, and no one¡¯s taking him away.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this time, Chen Cang, along with everyone else, also walked out of the operating room and nodded upon seeing Li Baoshan and the rest.


    Li Baoshan introduced him to He Tong, ¡°Director He, this is the Dr. Chen Cang you mentioned!¡±


    ¡°Chen, this gentleman is the director of our emergency center, Director He!¡±


    He Tong, upon seeing Chen Cang in the crowd, was momentarily taken aback. In his mind, Chen Cang was at least a forty-something vice-chief physician.


    Otherwise, how could he have precisely diagnosed an ascending aortic rupture and decisively performed surgery in an ambulance?


    Without decades of experience, it¡¯s not something ordinary people could achieve!


    But looking at this young man, who was at most in his 30s, he couldn¡¯t help but pause: ¡°Are you Chen Cang?¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded. Was someone impersonating him?


    ¡°Director He, hello, I am Chen Cang. Is there¡­ another Chen Cang?¡±


    He Tong was amused by Chen Cang¡¯s reaction and shook his head, ¡°No! It¡¯s you. Remarkable! Young man, do well in developing the emergency department at Provincial Hospital No. 2!¡±


    ¡°Seeing you reassures me, but¡­ I must give you a heads up! It might be a bit exhausting later on!¡±


    Chen Cang, hearing of hardships, his eyes filled with anticipation. He was worried about not having powerful challenges; a single encounter worth 5000 experience points could level him up in no time.


    With less than a month to go before the national cardiothoracic surgeon skills competition, Chen Cang was feeling anxious.


    After all, there was one Jing Ran, but who knows how many others at his level were out there across the country.


    If he didn¡¯t hone his skills now, when the time came¡­ it was uncertain where he could rank.


    The national competition for young physicians requires participants to be under the age of 35, which broadens the scope considerably. Many with PhDs are under thirty, and at 35, one is already at the level of an associate chief physician. By then, age will not be your advantage, and the same goes for lacking clinical experience.

    Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Snobbery


    ¡°`


    Therefore, for the one-month preparation period, Chen Cang decided to focus intently on ¡°grinding monsters,¡± leveling up, gearing up, and enhancing his skills.


    Although he didn¡¯t know what rewards came with being the champion, the fact that every PK victory came with loot was thrilling enough, and it was certainly best to win as much as possible¡ªpreferably to devour that whole crowd.


    The competition mainly involved cardiovascular surgery, and Chen Cang had to ensure that he was familiar with all the major vascular surgeries before the contest, had practiced them thoroughly, and had reached a master level.


    If possible, he wanted to elevate his vascular suturing to a perfect level, even if it meant using a special training card!


    Currently, his cardiovascular repertoire only included ascending aorta, descending aorta, and innominate artery repair surgeries.


    However, in thoracic and cardiovascular trauma surgery, besides these three, there were ¡°Pseudoaneurysm Resection,¡± ¡°Subclavian Artery Injury Repair,¡± ¡°Venae Cavae Injury Repair,¡± and ¡°Aortocaval Fistula Repair.¡±


    Given this, the pressure on Chen Cang for this month was tremendous!


    As Chen Cang was deep in thought.


    He Tong took the initiative to say, ¡°How about this, Chen, if you have any surgeries you¡¯re good at, or any you wish to perform and learn, when we schedule, we¡¯ll try to screen in advance and give you the green light.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Chen Cang¡¯s face brightened with joy¡ªit was a good opportunity.


    Having a large number of surgeries to practice was definitely beneficial for him.


    Even Li Baoshan, who was nearby, was shocked by He Tong¡¯s statement!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Since when was Director He so easygoing?


    Back in the day, when asked to send some cases of acute appendicitis or acute cholecystitis, he dragged his feet for days before giving a few extra cases.


    But now, he was proactively offering Chen Cang a green light.


    This¡­ How could someone be so opportunistic?


    To ingratiate oneself with the successful young Chen, how contemptible!


    Opportunist!


    He Tong, upon seeing Chen Cang and the group of young people behind him, had made up his mind¡ªthis was the future!


    Giving them some opportunities to train, allowing them room to choose, that¡¯s how they would improve more and go further in the future.


    Sometimes, what young people lack is opportunity.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately said with a smile, ¡°Director He, I would like some surgeries like the one I did today, with intrathoracic major vascular surgeries, trauma, and repairs of liver and spleen ruptures.¡±


    In fact, He Tong¡¯s statement was a test¡ªhe also wanted to figure out what surgeries this young Chen was proficient at, and hearing Chen Cang¡¯s response, he was momentarily stunned.


    Those were all highly difficult surgeries!


    And they involved departments such as cardiovascular surgery, thoracic surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, and general surgery.


    Could Chen Cang really be that formidable?


    He Tong nodded, ¡°All right, take down my number, keep in touch anytime, young man, I have high hopes for you!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Then I thank you, Director He.¡±


    He Tong waved his hand and left the Provincial Second Hospital.


    Chen Cang¡¯s surgery that day quickly became the talk of the entire Provincial Second Hospital.


    Victorious in the first battle, the young emergency team quickly garnered much praise.


    Emergency rooms are where heroes are most easily made, after all, the concept of life-saving work is exciting and exhilarating, just like that of a front-line soldier.


    ¡°`


    The name Chen Cang instantly became famous throughout the Second Provincial Hospital. With an excellent image and strong abilities, plus a legendary aura, he fulfilled countless nurses¡¯ fantasies.


    Although he wasn¡¯t a white horse prince, could he be considered a prince in a white coat?


    After today¡¯s battle, Chen Cang had also relieved the senior doctors in the emergency and other departments.


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Tan Liguo across from him and smiled, ¡°See that? Our Second Provincial Hospital now has its own rescue squad!¡±


    Tan Liguo was tactful, ¡°Old Qin, are you suggesting we should give these doctors some benefits? After all, frontline tasks are hard and tiring, and they still have to participate in regular duties, especially Xiao Chen, who is the team leader.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was stunned¡ªlately, he had found Secretary Tan to be getting better and better!


    He could speak well, was a good person, and looked¡­ well, that was beside the point, but he really understood you!


    I had only spoken half a sentence, and he already guessed what I was going to say.


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan hesitated slightly, ¡°Old Tan, is it really appropriate? After all, we¡¯ve already given out subsidies.¡±


    Tan Liguo slammed the table, ¡°Old Qin, this is where you¡¯re wrong. You can¡¯t let their hearts go cold. Let them know that their support is the hospital, especially Xiao Chen¡ªI suggest promoting him to a deputy section-level treatment!¡±


    That remark startled Qin Xiaoyuan considerably.


    Deputy section-level treatment¡­


    That was real money. For instance, the hospital operates on a coefficient system, with the deputy section coefficient quite a bit higher than that of an attending physician. And Chen Cang, currently treated as an inpatient doctor in emergency care, would be skipping the attending physician level straight to deputy section-level.


    Qin Xiaoyuan said sternly, ¡°Xiao Chen¡­ is still young, wouldn¡¯t the others have objections?¡±


    Tan Liguo became displeased, ¡°Unhappy? Xiao Chen is the head of the emergency rescue squad; he¡¯s doing the work of a deputy section. Shouldn¡¯t we give him the treatment due for that role?¡±


    ¡°Moreover, Old Qin, you need to think carefully about the positive impact Xiao Chen has brought to our hospital. His rescue work has completely compensated for the deficiencies of the Second Provincial Hospital. Isn¡¯t this deserving?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan banged the table, ¡°Secretary Tan has the far-sighted vision indeed!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    That evening, the injured worker¡¯s family came, as well as the head of the labor service company personally visited the hospital.


    The injured was a contracted employee of Shaohui Construction Company, and Tang Shaohui was a well-known figure in Dongyang province. He was very astute, hiring these laborers under his company¡¯s contract and then assigning them as dedicated labor services.


    Upon learning about the condition of the injured, he immediately came to the Second Provincial Hospital, showing great concern!


    He also personally made arrangements for vehicles to pick up the patient¡¯s family from their hometown to the hospital, taking care of all expenses.


    After learning the patient had been successfully rescued, Tang Shaohui took a deep breath while looking at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, thank you. You¡¯ve saved a family.¡±


    Once the worker¡¯s wife and children arrived and expressed their gratitude to Chen Cang, they were most thankful to Tang Shaohui.


    After all, in their eyes, it was significant that the company¡¯s boss personally came over, took them to the hospital, provided meals and accommodation, and even gave a substantial amount of money, ensuring that all medical expenses would be reimbursed.


    This simple-hearted family was instantly moved to tears of gratitude!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help admiring them, too.


    Tang Shaohui asked for Chen Cang¡¯s phone number, ¡°Doctor Chen, our company is large and employs many people; it¡¯s inevitable that we¡¯ll encounter some situations. In the future, I might send them to your place.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°That¡¯s our duty.¡±


    Tang Shaohui waved his hand and sighed, ¡°Work injuries are common at our construction sites, and I¡¯ve seen such injuries before¡­ but unfortunately, they did not encounter a doctor like you. Many have died en route. So, Doctor Chen, you are remarkable!¡±


    ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll thank you on behalf of our workers!¡±

 Chapter 519 - Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Babys Heart is Bitter!

    Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Baby¡¯s Heart is Bitter!


    People really are different from one another.


    Xia Gaofeng¡¯s company isn¡¯t small, but look at him, so humble and modest¡ªhe truly seems to consider the well-being of his workers.


    Just by looking at his attitude towards the injured and their families, he at least appears to be a more conscientious boss.


    Then think about Zhu Xuanwen, arrogant and utterly without principle.


    Chen Cang doesn¡¯t know Tang Shaohui well, but actually, he¡¯s quite famous throughout Dongyang Province and even the surrounding provinces for his good character and reputation.


    Having seen so many corrupt bosses, Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Tang is also a businessman with a conscience.¡±


    Tang Shaohui shook his head, ¡°We¡¯re all out here striving; none of it is easy. I owe everything to these brothers working in construction¡ªevery single one who came to work for me was out of options, trying to make a living. Aren¡¯t they all raised by their parents? I can¡¯t just make money without a conscience.¡±


    After finishing, he instructed the families, left someone in charge to arrange things for the relatives of the injured, and then left.


    Once in the car, his brother, who worked as an assistant, couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Bro, aren¡¯t you being a bit too enthusiastic about Doctor Chen?¡±


    Tang Shaohui was startled, then shook his head, ¡°Shaoyang, you know who Zhu Xuanwen is, right?¡±


    Tang Shaoyang nodded. As a fellow industry professional, he was very familiar; it was said Zhu Xuanwen had crossed some big shot, ¡°I know. Didn¡¯t he dissolve his company? I heard he went south.¡±


    Tang Shaohui smiled and said, ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s because he was too ostentatious, too showy. Let me show you a video.¡±


    After saying that, Tang Shaohui handed his brother a video that had been trending on Douyin a while back, and in that video, there was Chen Cang.

    ¡­


    When Chen Cang returned to the duty room and sat down to rest, he opened today¡¯s reward, a lucky bag.


    As soon as he opened it, immediately the system notification sounded!


    [Ding! Congratulations on opening the lucky bag, you¡¯ve received +20 goodwill from Meng Xi!]


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned¡ªwhat the heck?


    Was there really such an operation?


    But thinking about it, it made sense. Simply boosting Meng Xi¡¯s goodwill would definitely be troublesome and difficult; the system was bound to find shortcuts for him.


    Now, Chen Cang¡¯s goodwill towards Meng Xi shot back up to: 60 points.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling a little happy.


    Meanwhile, inside Dongda First Hospital¡¯s operating room, Meng Xi and Ge Huai were performing a surgery.


    Ge Huai had just been praised by Meng Xi and was happily repairing the thoracic aorta.


    But Meng Xi suddenly felt something unusual, suddenly¡­ she started to miss Little Chen?!


    This caught Meng Xi off guard!


    That wasn¡¯t right.


    Why was she thinking of that guy?


    Whenever Chen Cang taught her surgeries and criticized her, Meng Xi was always upset.


    Was she actually missing him?


    Could it be¡­ that she had masochistic tendencies?


    With this thought, Meng Xi quickly shook her head.


    However, for some unknown reason, after thinking of Little Chen, Meng Xi suddenly found Ge Huai¡¯s surgery quite displeasing to the eye.


    ¡°Doctor Ge, you really need to practice more. Look at this, the details, the details¡­ I¡¯ve told you several times, your technique¡­ there¡¯s a gap compared to Little Chen,¡± Meng Xi sighed and said to Ge Huai.


    Ge Huai, who had just been basking in Meng Xi¡¯s praise, suddenly felt like he¡¯d been doused with cold water.


    This woman¡­ why is she so temperamental?


    So what if she¡¯s good-looking!


    Helplessly, Ge Huai continued with the surgery.


    Xia Gaofeng returned to the hospital, itching to operate after remembering Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, and since Chen Cang¡¯s suturing had inspired him, he went straight to the operating room.


    He happened to pass by Ge Huai¡¯s operating room and walked in.


    At that moment, Ge Huai was still stitching up the patient, and seeing his teacher come in, he grew bolder.


    You criticize me, woman?


    My teacher is here!


    This is my rock solid backing!


    Xia Gaofeng observed Ge Huai¡¯s surgery without a word, his expression somber, and after a long¡­ long time¡­ he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ¡°Sigh¡­¡±


    With great patience, he watched the surgery until the end, and then Xia Gaofeng looked at Ge Huai:


    ¡°Little Ge, your progress is truly a bit too slow!¡±


    ¡°Just look at young Chen, the other day I just taught him the ascending aorta repair surgery, and today he has already learned it, and moreover¡­ his suturing is even better than yours! Look at you¡­¡±


    ¡°You should really learn more from young Chen.¡±


    A few sentences made Ge Huai suddenly freeze.


    I¡­ who have I offended today?


    Why is everyone criticizing me?


    Scholar Two and Scholar Three are in the next operating room, why isn¡¯t anyone criticizing them?


    And¡­ why are you comparing me to Chen Cang!


    Do you guys even¡­?


    What can I possibly compare with a freak like him?


    Ge Huai was inwardly suffering, but he couldn¡¯t express it.


    He really wanted to puff out his chest and be a man for once, and loudly question Meng Xi: ¡°Why didn¡¯t you speak up when Chen Cang criticized you?¡±


    Question his own mentor, Xia Gaofeng: ¡°Why don¡¯t you compare yourself with Chen Cang?¡±


    You two are just too¡­ too¡­ sigh¡­


    Ge Huai¡¯s heart was filled with sorrow!


    At this moment, Xia Gaofeng¡¯s phone rang.


    ¡°Hello? Oh! Director Li, you¡¯ve come to our department?¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright, just wait a bit, I¡¯ll be right there.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Xia Gaofeng glanced at Ge Huai with a ¡®spare the rod, spoil the child¡¯ look and left.


    Meng Xi also glanced at Ge Huai and shook his head before leaving¡­


    Ge Huai was stunned and on the verge of tears from frustration.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Upon returning to the department, Xia Gaofeng saw a man and a middle-aged woman anxiously waiting there.


    Seeing Xia Gaofeng approaching, the man hurriedly said, ¡°Director Xia, I have an urgent matter to ask of you!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng was startled and quickly said, ¡°Director Li, please, tell me.¡±


    Li Huan, his face tense with urgency, quickly said, ¡°Director Xia, my mother has been feeling unbearable chest tightness these past few days. She already has a heart condition, so I took her for an angiogram, and the results¡­ they say there¡¯s a pseudoaneurysm on the aorta and surgery is needed as soon as possible!¡±


    ¡°I was anxious to find you; here are the films, CT, chest radiographs, and the angiogram.¡± As he spoke, Li Huan handed them to Xia Gaofeng.


    When Xia Gaofeng heard ¡®pseudoaneurysm,¡¯ his expression changed, and he quickly took the films.


    After reviewing them, he was taken aback¡ªthat location¡­ it wasn¡¯t going to be easy to deal with!


    Suddenly, he thought of Chen Cang; Chen had dealt with a similar location today exceptionally well, perhaps¡­ he could be asked for help.


    With this in mind, Xia Gaofeng looked very serious and said, ¡°Director Li, it¡¯s not that I refuse to do it for you, but I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t handle it well!¡±


    ¡°Here¡¯s what, I¡¯ll recommend someone to you, go find him! Remember, you must personally ask him to do the surgery.¡±


    When Li Huan heard Xia Gaofeng¡¯s words, he was momentarily dumbstruck; after all¡­ Xia Gaofeng was considered the authority in Anyang!


    If it wasn¡¯t so urgent, Li Huan would have taken his mother to the capital, but he was afraid something would happen on the road.


    Seeing Li Huan like this, Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Director Li, we¡¯ve known each other for so many years, naturally, I wouldn¡¯t harm you!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll give him a call and get in touch, remember, you must have Dr. Chen Cang do it, he¡¯s good!¡±


    Li Huan promptly got up, nodded, and left with his mother, while Xia Gaofeng picked up the phone and called Chen Cang.


    Ge Huai just happened to pass by and overheard his mentor proactively referring a patient to Chen Cang, he was momentarily stunned and made a face: you criticize me, yet your own work isn¡¯t as good as Chen Cang¡¯s, you only know how to bully me!


    Xia Gaofeng turned around and stared at Ge Huai: ¡°Ge Huai, come here!¡±


    Ge Huai was instantly stunned!


    ¡­

    ps: Many thanks to old friend ¡°Decadent Lily¡± and new friend ¡°Junxun¡± for the 10,000 prize, very much appreciated!

 Chapter 520 - Chapter 520: Chapter 520: How Did He Get Here?

    Chapter 520: Chapter 520: How Did He Get Here?


    Ge Huai stood rooted to the spot, at a loss for what to do!


    After all, he was the one who had discovered the teacher¡¯s secret. Personally handing over a patient to Chen Cang, if word of this got out, it would be such a loss of face for the director!


    Upon hearing Teacher Xia call him, Ge Huai immediately turned around and promised:


    ¡°Teacher, rest assured, only you, I, heaven, and earth know about today¡¯s affair, and I won¡¯t let anyone else find out!¡± Ge Huai swore earnestly.


    But Xia Gaofeng found him amusing and could not help but chuckle and say, ¡°You kid, what¡¯s always going on in that head of yours? Can¡¯t you focus on something serious for a change?¡±


    Ge Huai was startled. Wasn¡¯t that the case?


    Xia Gaofeng stood up, took off his white coat, and said to Ge Huai, ¡°Get your things together. We¡¯re going to Provincial Hospital No. 2. I¡¯m going to assist Chen Cang in a big way, and you had better watch closely and learn. To tell you the truth, this kind of opportunity is quite rare.¡±


    After speaking, Xia Gaofeng picked up his white coat and headed towards the director¡¯s office, while Ge Huai was somewhat dazed.


    After a long while, he sighed. He had misjudged his teacher. His teacher had truly been considering his best interests!


    With that realization, Ge Huai shook his head, regretting that he had suspected his teacher¡¯s intentions.


    The difference in thinking was indeed significant!


    He hurriedly got up, gathered his things, changed his clothes, and immediately set off with his teacher.


    In his mind, he silently vowed, Teacher, I will work hard and live up to your expectations!

    ¡­


    ¡­


    After receiving Xia Gaofeng¡¯s phone call, Chen Cang immediately frowned.


    A pseudoaneurysm surgery?


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang sighed, looked at Meng Xi¡¯s favorability points and spent 30 points without any hesitation to redeem them.


    After all, the ¡°Pseudoaneurysm Excision¡± was also part of the competition content. He was certain he needed to learn it, so whether sooner or later didn¡¯t matter.


    After redeeming, Chen Cang directly entered the system space and began a period of intensive studying.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Li Huan came to the emergency department of Provincial Hospital No. 2 with his mother and entered the doctor¡¯s office. Anxious, he asked:


    ¡°Which one of you is Dr. Chen Cang?¡±


    Chen Cang immediately stood up and came forward, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Chen Cang. You must be Mr. Li Huan, right?¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, Li Huan couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback, and a trace of displeasure crossed his mind.


    Teacher Xia really took it too far. My mother needs urgent surgery, and instead of doing it himself, he hands it over to a junior doctor? Is that appropriate?


    This was his own mother, after all. Li Huan was keen to ensure the best surgery for her.


    But to his surprise, Xia Gaofeng recommended such a young doctor from the emergency department!


    It wasn¡¯t just Xia Gaofeng¡¯s fault; anyone in this situation would feel uncomfortable.


    In the eyes of a patient, the older and the higher the professional title, the more capable one surely is.


    And to be handed off to a junior doctor would irritate anyone.


    Nevertheless, Li Huan still nodded and replied, ¡°Yes, hello, Dr. Chen, I¡¯m Li Huan.¡±


    After Chen Cang nodded, he said to Li Huan, ¡°Director Xia has briefed me. Let¡¯s do this. I¡¯ll arrange the surgery as soon as possible. Oh, and let me take a look at the X-rays.¡±


    Li Huan, although reluctant, still took out the films and handed them to Chen Cang.


    At this time, Zhang Wenfu and Wang Kai¡¯an heard that there was surgery and hurriedly came out.


    Chen Cang first picked up the chest film and saw a clear increase in the shadow at the mediastinum, instantly realizing it must be a pseudoaneurysm of the aorta, then he handed the film to Zhang Wenfu behind him and picked up the CT and angiography films.


    Although it was possible to diagnose a pseudoaneurysm, when the aortic intima near the tear forms a dissecting aneurysm, it can spread to both the proximal and distal ends. Therefore, this would increase the length of the aortic section to be removed, making the surgery more difficult!


    Moreover, although the patient¡¯s condition wasn¡¯t extremely critical yet, with such matters, it was still better not to delay!


    After examining the films, Chen Cang said to Zhang Wenfu, ¡°Go prescribe the medical orders for pre-surgery preparation.¡±


    Zhang Wenfu nodded hurriedly.


    Chen Cang then turned to Li Huan and said, ¡°Mr. Li, you go complete the procedures first; I¡¯ll check on the patient.¡±


    After finishing speaking, he said to Xiaolin, ¡°Xiaolin, take the patient to the emergency room.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s series of operations left no chance for Li Huan to speak!


    In fact, it wasn¡¯t strange for Chen Cang to act this way, because in a sense, a pseudoaneurysm of the aorta is still very dangerous.


    They are generally caused by trauma, but it is also possible that internal vascular wall damage leads to a rupture of the aortic wall. Because the area is enclosed by thicker soft tissue, a localized hematoma forms with a pulsating movement; this is the origin of the pseudoaneurysm!


    The outer membrane of the aorta is quite tough and can withstand the pressure of the arterial blood vessels. Hence, after the formation of the localized hematoma, there might be no response for a while. However, if it is not taken seriously and without surgery, more than eighty percent of such patients will succumb to fatal hemorrhaging within three weeks.


    Chen Cang had to take this seriously!


    In fact, the pressure inside the aortic blood vessels is very high; once the intima is damaged, it is as if the vessel wall has some breaks. Accompanied by the heartbeat and arterial pulsation, the driving pressure can easily lead to the rupture of the aorta, causing a massive hemorrhage, sometimes without any warning signs!


    This is just like a water pipe; once the wall of the pipe is thin and damaged, any pressure can easily cause a leak!


    Just as Li Huan was about to speak to Chen Cang, Xia Gaofeng walked into the emergency department.


    Li Huan¡¯s eyes lit up, and seeing him was like seeing a savior. He quickly walked over and took Xia Gaofeng to a corner, lowered his voice, and asked with a somewhat questioning tone, ¡°Director Xia, what do you mean by this?!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng was taken aback, ¡°Director Li¡­ what do you mean?¡±


    Li Huan was anxious, somewhat complaining and with a hint of panic in his voice, ¡°My mother¡¯s illness is so severe. Not only did you not opt to operate, but you also recommended such a young doctor. This¡­ how can I be at ease?!¡±


    After listening, Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Director Li, would I harm you? I definitely chose the best person for you!¡±


    ¡°Right, how about this? I¡¯ll join Dr. Chen in the surgery. Now, do you feel reassured?¡±


    When Li Huan heard Xia Gaofeng say this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°Director Xia, I am really counting on you. She¡¯s my mother, after all!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng nodded, said nothing more, and followed Chen Cang into the emergency room to further examine and inquire about the patient.


    The following tasks were blood draws, lab tests, and pre-surgery preparations.


    After all the preparatory work was done, the operating room called to say they were ready and could perform the surgery at any time.


    Chen Cang quickly led Xia Gaofeng, Zhang Wenfu, and Nurse Xiaolin, pushing the patient toward the operating room.


    Meanwhile, Li Huan sat anxiously in the emergency department, waiting in distress.


    At this moment, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure coming down the stairs; Li Huan¡¯s expression changed. Wasn¡¯t that¡­ Director Wang from his department?


    Why had he come?


    Thinking this, he got up quickly and walked over!

 Chapter 521 - Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Im so envious that you have such a great teacher!

    Chapter 521: Chapter 521: I¡¯m so envious that you have such a great teacher!


    Li Huan hurried forward and said to Wang Qinghu, ¡°Leader, what brings you to the hospital?¡±


    Wang Qinghu suddenly turned around, looked at Li Huan, and was momentarily startled, ¡°Li Huan? What are you doing in the hospital too?¡±


    Li Huan sighed, ¡°My mother has a pseudoaneurysm of the aorta and needs surgery, so I came.¡±


    Wang Qinghu was taken aback and suddenly asked, ¡°Are you looking for Doctor Chen?¡±


    Li Huan was also stunned, ¡°The one I¡¯m looking for is Chen¡­ Chen Cang.¡±


    Wang Qinghu suddenly slapped his leg, ¡°That¡¯s who I¡¯m looking for too! By the way, where did Doctor Chen go?¡±


    Li Huan was somewhat puzzled, ¡°Doctor Chen went to perform surgery¡­ on my mother.¡±


    At this moment, Tao Zi hurried over, ¡°Qinghu, Little Chen is in surgery, come to my office and sit for a while to wait for him!¡±


    When Wang Qinghu heard this, he chuckled wryly, ¡°Old Tao, I¡¯m not in the mood right now. Let¡¯s just wait in the emergency department so we won¡¯t miss him when he comes and gets called away again!¡±


    Tao Zi and Wang Qinghu were classmates and couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°That¡¯s true. Doctor Chen is very busy these days, and there are many people looking for him to perform surgeries.¡±


    Wang Qinghu nodded and sighed, ¡°Yeah, well, I¡¯ll just wait here then. Go on with your work, Old Tao, and don¡¯t mind me!¡±


    Tao Zi nodded, ¡°Alright then, I won¡¯t keep you any longer. I¡¯ll look for you after I finish my work.¡±


    After speaking, the two got up and said goodbye.

    Li Huan was no fool. Through the conversation between the leader and this director¡­ he seemed to have discovered something unusual!


    This¡­ Is Doctor Chen hard to find?


    Wang Qinghu looked at Li Huan, ¡°Li Huan, you are really lucky to have found Doctor Chen upon your arrival.¡±


    Li Huan gave an awkward smile, ¡°Leader, isn¡¯t¡­ Doctor Chen quite young?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Qinghu burst into laughter, ¡°What era are we in that we still judge people¡¯s abilities by their age?¡±


    ¡°The Director Tao just now is my childhood friend and classmate, and he personally recommended Doctor Chen to me¡ªhe¡¯s the head of the Cardiac Surgery Department at the Second Provincial Hospital!¡±


    Listening to this, Li Huan¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment.


    It was really somewhat embarrassing to be hesitant about a recommendation from Director Xia Gaofeng himself¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The surgery began, and after establishing left heart bypass, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes focused on the hematoma area, and he breathed a sigh of relief.


    The area wasn¡¯t large, the thickness average, and there was no rupture, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the surgery!


    However, the only inconvenience was the location of the injury.


    [Pseudoaneurysm of the aorta, LV60, rare monster.]


    A pseudoaneurysm surgery can be very difficult or very easy, mostly because the location determines the extent of the difficulty.


    Clearly, this surgery wasn¡¯t going to be very difficult!


    Zhang Wenfu wasn¡¯t much of a talker, but his hands moved steadily, preparing with a clamp.


    Chen Cang, undisturbed, began separating the vessels with utmost caution, careful not to damage the pulmonary artery, the vagus nerve, or the recurrent laryngeal nerve¡­


    Separation was the prerequisite, and due to the special location, it necessitated meticulous operations by Chen Cang after separation.


    And the whole process was very delicate, watched carefully by an attentive Ge Huai.


    Xia Gaofeng watched Chen Cang¡¯s movements and couldn¡¯t help but lament. He had to admit, talent really made a significant difference.


    Chen Cang longitudinally incised the hematoma and carefully assessed the range of injury.


    [Inner layer of the vessel transected!]


    [Middle layer of the tissue transected!]


    ¡­


    Chen Cang carefully trimmed the damaged vessel wall, trying to preserve the surrounding intercostal vessels as much as possible.


    As the hematoma was small, the repair did not cause significant damage or gaps.


    The tear in the aortic wall was small, and Chen Cang could approximate it with little effort. Thus, there was no need for an artificial graft. A simple continuous suturing was feasible, ensuring intima to intima, media to media alignment¡­


    ¡­


    Xia Gaofeng¡¯s eyes widened. He wanted to see how Chen Cang would handle and suture such an angled wound.


    Ge Huai, observing his teacher intently studying, was moved by the sight. Indeed, one is never too old to learn, and he began to watch earnestly and learn as well.


    This close observation truly taught Ge Huai many things!


    As for Zhang Wenfu¡¯s admiration for Chen Cang, it went without saying. He hadn¡¯t expected that by joining such an emergency team, he¡¯d get to know a leader like Chen Cang, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel happy and excited!


    The surgery continued every minute and every second.


    Everyone had their own thoughts.


    Chen Cang¡¯s repair work progressed methodically.


    But¡­ as Chen Cang looked at the damage on the blood vessel walls, his eyes suddenly lit up, struck by inspiration!


    He turned to Wang Kai¡¯an beside him and said, ¡°Give me the microscope!¡±


    Wang Kai¡¯an was momentarily stunned. A microscope? For what?


    A microscope in cardiothoracic surgery?


    However, he didn¡¯t ask why and passed the microscope over to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Set it to four times magnification.¡±


    Wang Kai¡¯an nodded.


    Because of the damaged vessel, Chen Cang could clearly see the state of the vessel walls and the damage between his sutures, which excited him!


    The repair work on the aorta had to take many factors into account; indeed, interrupted sutures caused less damage to the vessels than continuous suturing¡­


    Before long, the suturing was complete!


    Chen Cang felt that this time his suturing had improved from before, as if he had stumbled upon some clues to enhance vascular anastomosis ability.


    He had a premonition that only when one had sufficient understanding of the blood vessels and a clearer recognition of their function, would the time come for advancement in vascular anastomosis techniques.


    Although this operation was not particularly difficult, it had brought significant gains to Chen Cang!


    Meanwhile, Xia Gaofeng¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed, his thoughts unknown.


    The operation ended!


    While washing his hands,


    Chen Cang said to Xia Gaofeng, ¡°Director Xia, you didn¡¯t have to come here in person, a phone call would have sufficed.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng smiled subtly, Could a phone call allow me to see today¡¯s procedure?


    Of course not!


    I came to learn, no, to exchange ideas!


    However, Xia Gaofeng naturally couldn¡¯t say that. He glanced at Ge Huai beside him, took a deep breath, shook his head, and said with a smile, ¡°Ge Huai heard that your vascular anastomosis is especially good and has always wanted to study it thoroughly. I said there was an operation happening, so we came to observe it. To exchange learning experiences, as a teacher, I just hope my students learn as much as they can.¡±


    Ge Huai was taken aback, his eyes widening in disbelief!


    When did I ever say that?


    I haven¡¯t said a word, alright!


    It was clearly you who criticized me, wasn¡¯t it?


    Teacher, aren¡¯t you being too cunning?


    He now understood perfectly why his teacher had dragged him here; it turned out to be a setup for him to take the blame and carry the burden!


    It was you who wanted to observe Chen Cang¡¯s surgery and learn, but you were too embarrassed to admit it, worried that saying it out loud would be shameful, so you brought me along.


    I¡¯m just an excuse¡­


    Thinking of this, Ge Huai finally understood everything, from beginning to end!


    His heart was as clear as a mirror.


    But¡­ he couldn¡¯t express it.


    And he felt wronged¡­


    Meanwhile, Wang Kai¡¯an and Zhang Wenfu looked at Ge Huai enviously, ¡°Doctor Ge, really envy you for having such a great teacher!¡±


    ¡°Yeah! They bring you to see all the good surgeries!¡±


    Ge Huai was about to cry, forced a smile that looked even uglier than crying!


    ¡°Yes, my teacher is really good to me¡­¡±


    Xia Gaofeng laughed heartily, ¡°Not at all, not at all, it¡¯s only right!¡±


    ¡­

    Chapter 522: Chapter 522: The Difference Between Feelings and Dares to Think


    The surgery had ended, and Ge Huai stood up, ready to leave. After all, why stay if I¡¯m just here to take the blame? What¡¯s the point!


    But then, a glance at his teacher made him hesitate, feeling a pang of guilt.


    After all¡­ It seemed only natural to take the fall for one¡¯s own teacher, defensible even.


    The director must have his due status and dignity, right?


    But exactly at that moment, Xia Gaofeng looked at Ge Huai, ¡°Xiao Ge, after watching Dr. Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, what are your thoughts?¡±


    Ge Huai sighed. Thoughts? Indeed, he had many thoughts! He dared to think them, but¡­


    Certainly, there were many thoughts!


    But most he dared not entertain!


    Some of Chen Cang¡¯s techniques, he could only observe. The thought of replicating them didn¡¯t even cross his mind. Those hand movements, that suturing speed¡­ Damn, I could only watch.


    Not to mention anything else, just the interrupted sutures alone¡ªthey were indeed effective. But he was well aware of his own suturing speed, and finishing within the stipulated time seemed tough!


    Now, he had to admit that initially, Chen Cang was indeed too lenient. During their suturing competition, the man had held back, not dealing a crushing blow all at once, but slowly revealing the gap between them. In this way, it seemed¡­ the sense of defeat didn¡¯t hit as hard¡­


    Of course, observing Chen Cang¡¯s surgery today still brought many insights, especially the careful handling of details and nerve-separation, which was full of lessons to be learned.


    Ge Huai: ¡°I¡¯ve benefitted a lot!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?0


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Mr. Ge is too modest. I¡¯ve also learned a great deal from you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of happiness.


    That ¡°Mr. Ge¡± was said with such fondness!


    With that thought, Ge Huai smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s help each other and learn together!¡±


    After saying this, Ge Huai spoke to Xia Gaofeng, ¡°Director, I¡¯m going back now! There¡¯s some stuff to take care of on my end.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng was taken aback. Hey, you can¡¯t go! How can I stay here alone if you leave?


    Ge Huai pretended to pick up a phone call and hurried off. Compared to that, he preferred being scolded by the beautiful and pretty Director Meng. After all, even when she was angry, she still looked gorgeous!


    Ah, whatever way you look at it, he was a character with a face and a name, definitely leagues above Scholar Two and Scholar Three!


    You can¡¯t always be the scapegoat!


    Xia Gaofeng watched Ge Huai rush off and sighed. This guy¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Outside the operating room, Wang Qinghu, worried he might miss Chen Cang, simply pulled Li Huan to the entrance to wait!


    Li Huan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Boss, what¡¯s wrong with you that you need to see Dr. Chen?¡±


    Wang Qinghu shook his head, ¡°Isn¡¯t my wife a piano teacher? She¡¯s getting on in years, and her hands often hurt so much she can barely stand it. It might be sequela from a previous tendon injury. The day before yesterday, I took her to Jishuitan Hospital to have it checked out. But after we got there, when they found out I was from Dongyang, they directly told us to go back!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Li Huan¡¯s eyes widened in shock, ¡°Why would they do that?¡±


    Wang Qinghu smiled, ¡°That¡¯s the impressive thing about Young Dr. Chen. You don¡¯t know, do you? It¡¯s precisely because of Dr. Chen Cang! Jishuitan, Magic City Sixth Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, along with our own Provincial Second Hospital are all in collaboration to build a tendon rehabilitation center.¡±


    At Wang Qinghu¡¯s words, Li Huan blushed even more!


    He had underestimated Dr. Chen after all.


    And now he found himself looking up to him!


    Li Huan was from the Science Association, and Wang Qinghu was from the Science and Technology Department; essentially, the two had a superior-subordinate relationship.


    The longer Li Huan and Wang Qinghu talked, the more grateful Li Huan felt!


    He hadn¡¯t expected Chen Cang to be so capable!


    Li Huan, being from the Science Association himself, understood the significance and weight of this.


    At that moment, the doors to the operating room opened.


    Surrounded by people, Chen Cang and Xia Gaofeng came out.


    Li Huan quickly stood up, ¡°Doctor Chen, Director Xia, how is my mother doing?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng smiled, ¡°Rest assured, Director Li, the surgery was very successful, thanks to Doctor Chen. You have no idea, if I did the surgery, we might have had to use an artificial vessel graft. Doctor Chen managed to repair the blood vessel with skill.¡±


    ¡°Recover well, and there shouldn¡¯t be any significant sequelae!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng¡¯s words lit up Li Huan¡¯s eyes as he hurriedly said to Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, I really can¡¯t thank you enough! I am with the Science Association, and we will undoubtedly interact more in the future. The next time you come to the Science Association, just call me directly!¡±


    After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Cang didn¡¯t refuse and left a contact number.


    He arranged for Zhang Wenfu to go through the process of transferring departments, moving to cardiac surgery for systematic treatment.


    After sorting out all the paperwork and signing the necessary documents for Li Huan¡¯s family, Chen Cang then hurriedly attended to a boy with a traumatic injury.


    It was nearly six o¡¯clock when Chen Cang happened to pass through the corridor and saw Wang Qinghu sitting there, looking around.


    Chen Cang smacked his forehead and quickly grasped Wang Qinghu¡¯s hands, ¡°Mr. Wang, right? I¡¯m so sorry; I¡¯ve been busy up until now. Director Tao gave me a heads up, but still¡­¡±


    Chen Cang apologetically clasped Wang Qinghu¡¯s hands, feeling somewhat sorry.


    After all, he was a leader whom Director Tao personally asked him to take good care of.


    Seeing this, Wang Qinghu couldn¡¯t help responding, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it! Doctor Chen, I must say, this afternoon I¡¯ve really seen a lot. You all are very busy, indeed exhausting! I noticed you haven¡¯t stopped moving since you left the operating room.¡±


    Wang Qinghu, over fifty, came from an intellectual background and was now serving in the provincial Science and Technology Department.


    As a fellow intellectual, he held a favorable view of doctors.


    Chen Cang led Wang Qinghu into the duty room, ¡°Mr. Wang, Director Tao didn¡¯t make it clear to me, what exactly is the issue with you?¡±


    Wang Qinghu explained, ¡°My wife is a piano teacher, with a history of tendon injury. Now her hand adhesion is quite serious, her movement is restricted, and she often suffers unbearable pain. I took her to Jishuitan, where after an MRI, Director Chang Honglei told me to come back and find Doctor Chen Cang.¡±


    ¡°So, I came over today to make inquiries in advance.¡±


    After hearing Wang Qinghu¡¯s words, Chen Cang frowned slightly.


    Sequelae from tendon injuries, such as tendon adhesions and even tenosynovitis, could be induced.


    But tendon repair, while initially simple, could develop into troublesome tendon adhesion as it advanced.


    After pondering for a moment, Chen Cang said, ¡°Let¡¯s do this, Mr. Wang, bring the patient over another day, and I will see the specific condition. We can decide then, as saying too much now is not very helpful, don¡¯t you think?¡±


    Chen Cang was very familiar with tendons, but discussing it without seeing the patient firsthand would certainly not clarify things.


    He would decide on a treatment plan after examining the patient specifically.


    Wang Qinghu said with a smile, thanking him, ¡°Understood, understood! Then I¡¯ll trouble you, Doctor Chen! We¡¯ll schedule a time later on. Can I have your phone number?¡±


    After talking for a bit, Wang Qinghu got up to leave.


    He¡¯d sat for an entire afternoon, waited for an afternoon; he seemed to be a significant leader, yet he didn¡¯t express a single complaint, perhaps a sign of high quality?

    Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Weirdos Every Day (Subscribe please!)


    Busy all afternoon, Chen Cang finally took a moment to rest, facing another night shift tonight.


    With a helpless shake of his head, Chen Cang leaned back in his chair for a brief rest.


    He casually opened up today¡¯s rewards.


    ¡°Ding! Successful resection of a false aortic aneurysm earns you rewards: 1. Experience +5000; 2. Lucky Bag +1; 3. Energy potion +2;¡±


    Seeing the system prompt, a lucky bag again?


    He casually opened the lucky bag, ¡°You¡¯ve earned +3 skill points.¡±


    Chen Cang was delighted, not bad at all. He originally thought he had plenty of skill points, only to realize they were quickly spent.


    A somewhat fatigued Chen Cang looked at the energy potion, suddenly pensive, should he¡­ try it?


    After choosing to use it, Chen Cang suddenly felt his head lighten, as if he had become wholly alert!


    Chen Cang was a bit stunned; he had thought it was just a drink. Maybe he could even savor the taste, but upon clicking use, it took effect immediately.


    The experience was dreadful!


    There was no sense of participation at all.


    But his condition was like he had just woken up from sleep, truly not bad, the effect was satisfactory, it was just the enjoyment of the process that was missing.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã?


    Some things, like the process, are actually more important than the result¡­ like¡­ eating something delicious! (Don¡¯t let your mind wander)


    Just then, the duty room door opened, and upon lifting his eyes, Chen Cang noticed it was Qin Yue, holding a thermal lunch box in her hand.


    Qin Yue, seeing Chen Cang, walked over with a smile in her eyes.


    ¡°Tired, huh?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Not tired!¡±


    ¡°Seeing you, I feel good everywhere, full of energy!¡±


    Qin Yue rolled her eyes, ¡°Hey? Chen Cang, why do I always feel there¡¯s another meaning behind your words nowadays!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but offer an embarrassed smile.


    Qin Yue opened the thermal box and said:


    ¡°I made you some food, eat up quickly. I see you¡¯re on night shift, having been busy with surgeries all day, will you be able to cope?¡±


    ¡°Or should I take over your shift tonight?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately felt a warmth in his heart, looking at this sensible but silly girl, he couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°It¡¯s fine!¡±


    Opening the lunch box, two dishes, a soup, and rice.


    Two dishes, one Di Sanxian, another scallion and egg.


    Watching Chen Cang devour his food with relish, Qin Yue sat beside him, looking expectantly with her big eyes fixed on him.


    After a while, she cautiously asked, ¡°Is it tasty?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled!


    Looking at Qin Yue, who was uncharacteristically cautious, like waiting for exam results, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Did you put drugs in the food?¡±


    At that, Qin Yue immediately picked up the soup, saying softly and sweetly, ¡°Big Lang, take your medicine~¡±


    Chen Cang instantly burst out laughing, nearly spitting out his food!


    This girl, too mischievous.


    Qin Yue watched expectantly, ¡°I can¡¯t make anything else, just learned these two dishes, how¡¯s the taste?¡±


    Chen Cang replied with a laugh, ¡°It¡¯s fantastic!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve realized your culinary talent surpasses your surgical skills by a lot.¡±


    Qin Yue said with great satisfaction, ¡°Of course!¡±


    Right after that, she felt deflated, ¡°I heard that uncle and auntie are chefs, and I¡¯m just worried that what I make won¡¯t be good enough¡­ Sigh!¡±


    Seeing Qin Yue like this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡°My parents are chefs, but they won¡¯t pick on the food you make.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue immediately said, ¡°Then accompany me to go shopping on Saturday, I¡¯ll buy you some clothes. You haven¡¯t bought any decent clothes. Don¡¯t be laughed at when we go back, you should look presentable!¡±


    ¡°And, we should buy some gifts for uncle and auntie¡­¡±


    Watching Qin Yue chatter on and on, fussing over every arrangement and plan just like she was preparing for an exam, with such dedication.


    At this sight, Chen Cang felt a sense of contentment mixed with a little bit of happiness.


    After the meal, Qin Yue cleaned up and left, and Chen Cang got up and returned to the doctors¡¯ office.


    The hospital wasn¡¯t very busy, so Chen Cang sat there with pen and paper, writing and drawing, summarizing the day¡¯s surgeries and treatments.


    This was a habit he had maintained for a long time.


    Especially the vascular suturing today had given him a lot of inspiration.


    Around nine o¡¯clock, Chen Cang was watching surgical videos when nurse Lele came in:


    ¡°Dr. Chen, Dr. Yao is calling for you. A patient needs intubation.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, put his phone in his pocket, and walked out.


    As he arrived at the entrance to the ward, without even entering, Chen Cang heard a series of desperately urgent coughs!


    ¡°Cough cough¡­ cough cough¡­¡±


    This kind of cough was heart-rending, as if it couldn¡¯t stop at all, as if it would tear the lungs out!


    The sound alone was distressing!


    As soon as he entered, he saw the constantly fluctuating numbers on the heart monitor and the beeping alarm sound.


    Chen Cang immediately grew serious, while Yao Zhiwen looked helpless, which made Chen Cang quite curious.


    On the bed lay an old man of over eighty, and beside him sat two women in their forties, along with an old lady.


    They should be the patient¡¯s children and wife.


    Yao Zhiwen patiently explained, ¡°The patient is in very bad condition now and needs intubation. Otherwise, the fluid coughed up could be inhaled into the lungs, causing lung infection and aggravating the condition!¡±


    But¡­ the three relatives remained unmoved.


    This was the third time Yao Zhiwen had explained the situation to the relatives, but seeing their unmoved faces, Yao Zhiwen turned to Lele with a numb scalp and said, ¡°Go get the refusal of treatment consent form and have the family sign it.¡±


    At this moment, the old lady, who looked educated and cultured, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°It¡¯s okay, we have a suction device, and he¡¯s able to cough it up, so no intubation is necessary.¡±


    The daughter, a decade or so older than Chen Cang, was equally firm, ¡°If he is intubated, it means his condition is getting more serious. We¡¯ll wait and see, how does that saying go? Right, the ¡®last resort¡¯!¡±


    At this, Yao Zhiwen couldn¡¯t help but laugh with exasperation.


    Seeing the three almost indifferent relatives, Yao Zhiwen turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Chen Cang, give me a hand.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, held the old man steady, and Yao Zhiwen patted the man¡¯s back, then increased the oxygen flow rate on the mask slightly.


    But¡­ it was just a temporary fix.


    Seeing that the old man¡¯s cough had improved slightly, the woman couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°See, I told you, just some patting and a bit more oxygen, and he¡¯s fine. There¡¯s absolutely no need for intubation.¡±


    Hearing the relatives¡¯ ignorant and unreasonable words, Chen Cang patted Yao Zhiwen¡¯s shoulder, signaling him not to rush.


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°What¡¯s the situation with the patient?¡±


    Yao Zhiwen replied, ¡°Acute brain infarction. Yesterday morning, the patient suddenly experienced weakness in the left side of his body. He was alone at home and did not take it seriously. This morning, the symptoms suddenly worsened, he had unclear speech, and developed left-sided hemiplegia. He was brought to the hospital at 3 p.m., and MRI showed a right brainstem infarction.¡±


    ¡°He has a history of hypertension, diabetes¡­ Because we missed the therapeutic window and there are contraindications, thrombolytic therapy was not performed, and the patient¡¯s relatives refused interventional thrombectomy treatment.¡±

 Chapter 524 - Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Terrible Ignorance

    Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Terrible Ignorance


    Hearing Yao Zhiwen recite the patient¡¯s history, suddenly, his two daughters stood up, their faces red and necks swollen with agitation.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that we¡¯re worried about the money, money is not the issue, we just don¡¯t want our father to suffer anymore!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s already of such an old age, still undergoing thrombectomy and such, it¡¯s too agonizing.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help wanting to laugh at that comment. The old man was already hemiplegic and had a cloudy consciousness, incontinent or urine and feces, and yet you say he shouldn¡¯t suffer?


    However¡­ getting angry with the patient¡¯s family was purely a brainless move. Chen Cang took a deep breath; he didn¡¯t want to speak another word to such a family and turned around, unable to refrain from asking Yao Zhiwen, ¡°Why wasn¡¯t he transferred to the neurology department?¡±


    Yao Zhiwen also appeared quite helpless and sighed, ¡°There are no beds available upstairs at the moment; they¡¯ve prescribed fluids, and we¡¯re treating him here for now. He¡¯ll be transferred tomorrow.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the infusion order and smiled. Indeed, they were wealthy. Dibenzoside injections, 300 per bottle, self-paid medication for nourishing the nerves, two bottles a day.


    This undoubtedly saved Chen Cang and his colleagues a lot of trouble; thankfully, there were no economic issues to cause headaches!


    Usually, because of many acute conditions, numerous expensive and good-quality medications are needed for treatment, but they are very costly and many families cannot afford them.


    The patient was spared this trouble, but unexpectedly they encountered a bigger problem: ignorant relatives!


    Yao Zhiwen continued, ¡°Because the stroke was accompanied by bulbar paralysis, the patient chokes on water and food, and he can¡¯t speak. He¡¯s semiconscious and incontinent of urine and feces.¡±


    Hearing Yao Zhiwen¡¯s words, Chen Cang immediately said, ¡°The patient needs to have a nasogastric tube placed.¡±


    At this moment, one daughter objected, ¡°He¡¯s already like this, having a gastric tube inserted would be so uncomfortable! And¡­ he can drink water by himself.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??¦Ï.§ã?


    Chen Cang continued to inquire, ¡°With the fecal and urinary incontinence, has a catheter been inserted for urinary drainage?¡±


    Yao Zhiwen shook his head and said helplessly, ¡°No! The family doesn¡¯t agree, fearing the patient would be uncomfortable!¡±


    Chen Cang almost exploded with anger at this statement!


    To him, these seemingly respectable family members were acting like imbeciles!


    Chen Cang held his breath, looked up at the family and said, ¡°The patient is incontinent. If we don¡¯t catheterize, he could suffer from urinary retention!¡±


    The elderly lady shook her head, ¡°I¡¯ve put a diaper on him; don¡¯t worry, a catheter would be so uncomfortable, I feel pained just thinking about it¡­ no, no, he wouldn¡¯t agree to that if he were awake.¡±


    With everything out of the question, Chen Cang had no choice but to take Yao Zhiwen and leave.


    At that time, Lele brought over the consent form for the refusal of treatment.


    The patient¡¯s family member was quite cooperative; the elderly lady¡¯s signature was beautiful, clearly a ¡°cultured¡± individual.


    But Yao Zhiwen still felt uneasy and went back and forth three or four times to communicate with the family, spending twenty minutes each, and like this, more than two hours had passed.


    When Yao Zhiwen returned to the office, he was so angry he almost threw the medical records.


    ¡°What kind of people are these? Afraid of suffering, not wanting the old man to endure pain, are they intent on killing someone?¡±


    Listening to the constant coughing and wheezing in the corridor, Chen Cang also sighed deeply.


    Sometimes, the true killer of patients isn¡¯t the doctor; it¡¯s their family members.


    Chen Cang also noticed that the more ¡°knowledgeable¡± a person seemed, the more troublesome they were, always challenging the doctors¡¯ expertise with half-baked knowledge sourced from Baidu or hearsay.


    Around two in the morning, the door to the duty room was knocked on incessantly.


    Chen Cang and Yao Zhiwen promptly got up and walked out.


    ¡°What¡¯s happened?¡±


    Lele said, ¡°The patient keeps tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He¡¯s pulling at the IV stand with his hand and his coughing has gotten even worse!¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Cang and Yao Zhiwen¡¯s expressions changed, and they hurried back to the patient¡¯s room.


    Upon entering, they saw the two daughters holding the old man¡¯s hands, preventing him from touching anything.


    The elderly lady was there, gently consoling the old man, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay!¡±


    Then she took his hand and massaged it softly.


    Chen Cang paused; it was clear that the family was interpreting the old man¡¯s situation as simply being tense and anxious.


    Chen Cang lifted the blanket and saw the diaper was clean, but the small abdomen had noticeably swelled.


    Chen Cang immediately freaked out. So much fluid had been infused, yet there was no urine. It would be odd if he wasn¡¯t agitated!


    Chen Cang hurriedly said, ¡°The patient needs to be catheterized now; he¡¯s experiencing severe urinary retention, and there¡¯s obvious distention in the bladder region. That¡¯s why he¡¯s restless in bed!¡±


    ¡°And another thing! We completely understand the feelings of the patient¡¯s family,¡±


    ¡°But there¡¯s a fact you need to understand: no treatment is without pain,


    ¡°We can¡¯t let the patient suffer more just because of this little pain, especially when we can foresee the greater pain.¡±


    After some explaining, they finally agreed to insert the urinary catheter.


    But¡­ when Lele was ready to insert the catheter, the old lady disagreed again!


    ¡°Do you have a male nurse?¡±


    Chen Cang and Yao Zhiwen were taken aback, and even Lele was stunned.


    The old lady¡¯s mind was already cloudy, and you¡¯re asking for a male nurse?


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Lele, give it to me.¡±


    He adeptly connected the catheter, and the urine finally started to flow.


    And the restless old lady finally calmed down.


    But¡­


    An hour later, there was a knock at the door again.


    Lele said anxiously, ¡°Dr. Chen, the patient has a fever now!¡±


    Chen Cang and Yao Zhiwen looked at each other and hurried into the ward.


    The patient¡¯s temperature was 38.3 degrees Celsius, and he was accompanied by constant coughing!


    Generally speaking, for patients with cerebral infarction, paralysis isn¡¯t the most terrifying part¡ªrather, it¡¯s the potential for choking during eating due to bulbar palsy and resulting in a pulmonary infection.


    And a pulmonary infection, for patients with acute stroke like this, is often fatal.


    Chen Cang looked up and asked, ¡°Did you give him water?¡±


    The family member hesitated, his face reddening, ¡°I thought he¡­¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Prepare the nasogastric tube.¡±


    This kind of family, sooner or later, will endanger the life of the patient.


    Chen Cang continued to explain, but the family was obstinate until the end.


    Seeing Chen Cang and Yao Zhiwen getting somewhat angry, the old lady said, ¡°Doctor¡­ we don¡¯t understand, you can¡¯t blame us¡­ we really don¡¯t understand!¡±


    Chen Cang almost laughed with frustration, weren¡¯t you acting like you knew everything just now?


    All night, there was back-and-forth all night long, and antibiotics were used too.


    The temperature was initially brought under control, but¡­ this was just the beginning.


    The patient was now experiencing respiratory failure and had developed a pulmonary infection; tomorrow surely meant a transfer to the ICU.


    Transferred to the neurology department?


    Dream on, they definitely wouldn¡¯t take such a seriously ill patient.


    Sure enough, after handing over at nine in the morning, the patient was sent to the ICU amid the family¡¯s regrets¡ªthere was no way the neurology doctor could take such a severely ill patient into the ward.


    Most importantly, the patient still hadn¡¯t been intubated!


    Several family members were still arguing with Dr. Zheng from the ICU¡­


    Chen Cang shook his head.


    Sometimes, the ignorance of a family really can cost their loved one¡¯s life.


    Entrusting them with the consent rights, that really felt somewhat worrisome¡­

 Chapter 525 - Chapter 525: Chapter 525: Double Standards...

    Chapter 525: Chapter 525: Double Standards¡­


    After waking up at noon, Chen Cang cleaned up, took a bath, and went out to buy clothes with Qin Xiaotian in the afternoon.


    Qin Yue sneaked out of her department in the afternoon, which earned her nothing but an eye roll from Chen Cang.


    This guy was now utterly shameless, ¡°You¡¯re skipping work again!¡±


    Qin Yue gave Chen Cang a serious look, ¡°Think carefully before you speak again!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Your work efficiency is really high.¡±


    After hearing that, Qin Yue¡¯s face finally broke into a smile. She was now in an almost semi-resigned state. The emergency department didn¡¯t manage her much, surgery wasn¡¯t in a hurry to have her, and she was in the midst of applying for a doctoral assessment.


    Being solely responsible for the department¡¯s scientific research work was something that Director Li Baoshan had ingeniously come up with, creating this position for her.


    Seeing Qin Xiaotian being appeased by his clearly perfunctory tone, Chen Cang sighed:


    Women are really superficial.


    But¡­ men just happen to like superficial women!


    Oh¡­ men!


    ¡­


    The autumn sky was clear, and it had been a long time since Chen Cang went out shopping. The commercial street was still bustling with activity.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    Qin Yue took out a piece of paper from her pocket, ¡°Let¡¯s go, time to buy clothes!¡±


    While speaking, she pulled Chen Cang into a shopping mall.


    Chen Cang curiously asked, ¡°What¡¯s that written on there?¡±


    Qin Yue matter-of-factly said, ¡°It¡¯s a plan.¡±


    ¡°First, we buy clothes, then get our hair done, then go buy gifts¡­¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the full half-page of Qin Yue¡¯s plan and felt a bit overwhelmed; he thought he couldn¡¯t get through the day without a bottle of stamina potion¡­


    However, thinking of Qin Xiaotian¡¯s 50-minute homework assignments every day, Chen Cang was worried. He needed to level up and burst out some stamina potions, or endurance potions, and the like in the upcoming days.


    It would be best to get a gemstone that provided permanent enhancement!


    Chen Cang wasn¡¯t too picky about clothes; any brand was fine as long as they were comfortable to wear and looked good.


    However, Qin Yue had an eye for fashion and kept trying different clothes on Chen Cang.


    After each trial, her eyes would sparkle, giving Chen Cang the chills, almost as if he were being stalked by the Big Bad Wolf like Pleasant Goat.


    Coming out of a clothing store, Chen Cang earnestly looked at Qin Yue, ¡°Confess, have you been coveting me for a long time?¡±


    Qin Yue gave Chen Cang a look, ¡°Don¡¯t flatter yourself!¡±


    Chen Cang disdainfully said, ¡°Wipe your drool off and speak properly!¡±


    Qin Yue was startled and quickly touched her mouth to find nothing. Realizing Chen Cang was teasing her, she stomped her foot in annoyance.


    The two shopped around all afternoon and didn¡¯t finish until after eight o¡¯clock. Chen Cang was laden with large and small bags, hanging things wherever he could.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    That evening, back at home, Qin Xiaoyuan was reading in the study, Ji Ruyun was applying a face mask on the sofa, and Qin Yue, after changing clothes, lay on the couch watching her mother. She couldn¡¯t help but ask:


    ¡°Mom, I am planning to go back to Chen Cang¡¯s hometown with him tomorrow. It¡¯s his mother¡¯s birthday. He hasn¡¯t been back for several years now, so I said I would go with him.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyun suddenly paused and then realized, ¡°I was wondering why these past few days you¡¯ve been busy cooking and frying food, I even told your dad our girl has grown up!¡±


    ¡°So, you¡¯re doing this just to please your mother-in-law! Qin Xiaoyuan, come out and see what your daughter is up to!¡±


    At the call, Qin Xiaoyuan naturally came out immediately. Hearing Ji Ruyun¡¯s words, he quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, wife?¡±


    Ji Ruyun sneered, ¡°Your daughter is planning to go back to Chen Cang¡¯s hometown with him.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan almost didn¡¯t hesitate, ¡°No, no!¡±


    Qin Yue was startled, ¡°Why not? I¡¯m just going to visit my aunt and uncle, what¡¯s the problem?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan immediately said, ¡°It¡¯s not that, does the Chen Family even know about you for you to just go, and besides¡­ there¡¯s nothing set in stone between you two, rashly visiting his family¡­¡±


    Qin Yue wrinkled her nose, ¡°Chen Cang has already met you all, hasn¡¯t he? He¡¯s already laid down the first stroke, and I¡¯m just going to do the rest, aren¡¯t I?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan heard this and became anxious. After all, she was his daughter, and he naturally had more concerns. Examples from life were clear in his mind. Qin Xiaoyuan, trying to stay calm, said, ¡°Yueyue, listen to your father. Think about it, if you go there, what will people think of you¡­¡±


    Ji Ruyun, listening to Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s old-fashioned talk, couldn¡¯t hold back anymore, ¡°Enough, Old Qin, what era are we in now.¡±


    After hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan looked at his wife, ¡°This¡­ wouldn¡¯t an unexpected visit be looked down upon by his family? That¡¯s what you told me before!¡±


    Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes, ¡°Enough, those old-fashioned ideas of yours are long outdated. Who says that a girl visiting will be looked down upon? Who could possibly look down on our daughter?¡±


    Qin Yue puffed up her chest, ¡°Exactly, I¡¯m showing respect for the elders. How could that be looked down upon?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Ji Ruyun, ¡°When I took you to my home, isn¡¯t that what you said to me?¡±


    Ji Ruyun gave an awkward smile, ¡°Times have changed. Besides, you and young Chen are not the same. Everything is changing; none of those old sayings apply now!¡±


    Old Qin felt a sense of grievance.


    Why is it that everything becomes different when it comes to Chen Cang?


    This is way too double-standard!


    Seeing that the tide had turned, Qin Xiaoyuan still couldn¡¯t help but say to Ji Ruyun, ¡°Come here, I want to talk to you for a bit.¡±


    After speaking, he headed toward the bedroom.


    Ji Ruyun glanced at Qin Yue, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll persuade him for you.¡±


    Qin Yue made a fist to show her encouragement!


    When Ji Ruyun entered the bedroom and closed the door, she asked, ¡°What is it, Old Qin?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan thought for a while, then sighed, ¡°Wife, you need to talk to Yueyue properly. If she is going¡­ let her go, but there are some things she needs to be mindful of.¡±


    ¡°Look, for example, after going there, they cannot stay together at night, since¡­ they aren¡¯t married yet, right?¡±


    ¡°This isn¡¯t a local visit, where you go and come back the same day without an overnight stay. She¡¯ll probably stay a couple of days this time. You really need to talk to Yueyue about this.¡±


    Ji Ruyun looked at Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s worried face and understood his concerns.


    Isn¡¯t a father supposed to worry about his daughter?


    Young Chen is good, and he and Qin Yue get along well, but who knows what the future holds.


    Although his thoughts are somewhat old-fashioned¡­ ah well¡­


    It¡¯s better left unsaid.


    Ji Ruyun smiled, ¡°Alright, Old Qin, our daughter¡¯s grown up now. You shouldn¡¯t worry so much. Isn¡¯t it great if she gets married and has children sooner?¡±


    ¡°I reckon, let Yueyue take a look around there first this time. When there¡¯s a chance, we will meet with both families, have a face-to-face, and try to settle this matter sooner.¡±


    ¡°Our daughter is not young anymore, and she¡¯s even a year older than young Chen. She¡¯s already twenty-eight, imagine how old Yueyue will be when she¡¯s twenty-eight.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, he wasn¡¯t oblivious to these facts; it was just that after spending so much time in the hospital, he had seen a lot of human relationships, and sometimes, whatever the matter, he just tended to consider a bit more.


    With others, it¡¯s easy to just say times have changed and let it be, but when it¡¯s about his own family, it¡¯s not so simple to brush off.

 Chapter 526 - Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Its Quite Nice to Have Children Earlier

    Chapter 526: Chapter 526: It¡¯s Quite Nice to Have Children Earlier


    ¡°`


    Ji Ruyun comforted Mr. Qin for quite a while before she managed to cheer Qin Xiaoyuan up.


    This daddy really was ready to do anything to protect his daughter, though sometimes indeed too much protection wasn¡¯t good, but he truly worried about her getting hurt, about her running into scumbags, about her being abandoned after being trifled with, about¡­


    When worries piled up, they turned into strict control; otherwise, why would so many daughters be unhappy with their fathers being so protective?


    Actually, many fathers are ¡°daughter slaves,¡± and during marriages, they would cry their eyes out, while mothers tended to accept the situation better.


    After the two of them came out of the room, Qin Yue saw her father with a gloomy face, seemingly a bit unhappy.


    She immediately stood up and said, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m just going for a spin, and it¡¯s not like I¡¯m selling myself off. Look at you¡­¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback, laughed, and said, ¡°Right now I can¡¯t wait for you to sell yourself off. To everyone else, their daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets, but you girl, are a black-hearted cotton-padded jacket, still with holes in it. I¡¯m even giving my clothes to Chen Cang.¡±


    Seeing that her father wasn¡¯t angry, Qin Yue immediately grinned and said, ¡°That¡¯s not true at all! I¡¯ve always been daddy¡¯s little cotton-padded jacket.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan hurriedly responded, ¡°When a daughter grows up, she won¡¯t stay by your side, and if you keep her, it may turn into hatred. Go if you must, but remember to be safe, understand?¡±


    On hearing this, Qin Yue immediately nodded with a smile and happily massaged her father¡¯s shoulders, ¡°Thank you, daddy! You¡¯re so good to me.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly said, ¡°That¡¯s right, buy some gifts when you go. Showing up empty-handed doesn¡¯t look good, and they might say you don¡¯t have manners.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Oh¡­¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    ¡°Daddy, what do you think I should buy?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask what Chen Cang¡¯s parents like?¡±


    Qin Yue pursed her lips, ¡°Chen Cang doesn¡¯t want me to bring gifts, he said just buying a box of milk would be fine. Oh right¡­ I know his father likes to drink.¡±


    On hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan always felt something was off but couldn¡¯t pinpoint it: ¡°Then just buy two bottles of decent liquor, not too big or small, easy to carry, and even if they don¡¯t like it, they can keep it.¡±


    Qin Yue sighed, ¡°But I don¡¯t know anything about liquor. Besides, it seems like a lot of liquor is not readily available; you even need to book it¡­ Ah, forget it, let¡¯s not bring anything!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan hastily said, ¡°That won¡¯t do, how can you not bring anything? What kind of liquor do you want?¡±


    Qin Yue pouted, ¡°Like Maotai, Wuliangye, or that what¡¯s-it-called, Laojiao?¡±


    The more Qin Xiaoyuan listened, the more uneasy he became, and the names sounded more and more familiar!


    After a couple of seconds, he suddenly realized and looked at Ji Ruyun with a smile, ¡°Wife, look at the daughter you¡¯ve taught; she won¡¯t rest until she has bled her dad dry!¡±


    Qin Yue and Ji Ruyun exchanged glances and broke out into roaring laughter.


    Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Ah¡­ this girl, better hurry and leave. I was thinking about keeping her earlier, but if she stays any longer, your mom and I are going to be sold by you!¡±


    ¡°You little rascal, others bring things into their homes, but you¡¯re always moving things outwards.¡±


    ¡°And you say you¡¯re not a black-hearted cotton-padded jacket¡­¡±


    Qin Yue giggled, ¡°Come on, dad, open up your little treasure trove and lend me two bottles of good liquor. You say you transferred me to a position, with base salary plus average bonus, how could I have money to buy good liquor!¡±


    Old Qin sighed upon hearing this; there, blame me again¡­


    Old Qin stood up and took out two bottles of Feitian from the cabinet in the study, ¡°Ah¡­ I can¡¯t even bear to drink these myself¡­¡±


    Qin Yue stood by the side, excitedly looking at the bottles of liquor. Even though she didn¡¯t understand liquor, she still knew the name Maotai.


    Thinking of Chen Cang¡¯s father¡¯s happy face when she returned, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    In truth, Old Qin was not in the least bit distressed. His daughter was following someone else¡¯s lead; what¡¯s a few bottles of liquor compared to that?


    As long as Chen Cang treats Yueyue well, not to mention a few bottles of liquor, even buying a house or a car wouldn¡¯t elicit a word of complaint from Old Qin.


    Moreover, Chen Cang didn¡¯t seem like a bad person at first glance.


    ¡°`


    Having spent a lot of time in the hospital, you get to see many sincere emotions and too much of human nature in its true form. As a father, you just hope your daughter can be a little happier.


    Qin Xiaoyuan went to bed early today, but couldn¡¯t fall asleep as he tossed and turned, his mind constantly replaying various scenes.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    And Ji Ruyun was in Qin Yue¡¯s bedroom, chatting with her and telling her some things she needed to be aware of.


    ¡°You can¡¯t sleep in when you go to someone else¡¯s house, okay!¡±


    ¡°Also, make the bed in the morning¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too lazy¡­¡±


    She went on and on about a bunch of things.


    Qin Yue sighed, ¡°I know, Mom! I¡¯m not stupid. I¡¯m not that young anymore.¡±


    In the end, Ji Ruyun suddenly looked at Qin Yue mysteriously, ¡°Yueyue, there is one thing I want to ask. After you go there, will you be resting in the same room with Chen Cang?¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s face immediately turned red, ¡°Who¡¯s sleeping with him!¡±


    Ji Ruyun nodded, ¡°Ah, actually, Mom doesn¡¯t mean it that way. Society is so open nowadays, and we doctors have seen everything!


    What Mom means is, you need to think carefully about anything you do, seriously consider the consequences¡­


    Plus, Mom wouldn¡¯t be completely unable to accept it if¡­ if you really got pregnant that too would be fine. Get the marriage registration done soon, have the wedding, give birth; it could all be quite swift¡­ Maybe by next year, I could be holding a grandchild!¡±


    Hearing Ji Ruyun¡¯s words, Qin Yue was initially stunned and then, once she processed them, her face flushed red, ¡°Mom, what are you talking about!¡±


    Ji Ruyun smiled as she looked at Qin Yue, ¡°You study medicine too, and you¡¯re not young anymore. As long as you have a clear understanding, that¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Actually¡­ it¡¯s best for a woman to have children before thirty, when the body functions at its peak. Traditional Chinese medicine says so too; at twenty-eight a woman is in prime health, reaching her height in strength and robustness. You turn twenty-eight this year, so I think you should consider it, getting married sooner rather than later. I could help you look after the kids.¡±


    ¡°A woman¡¯s prime years are limited; once you pass thirty-five, it starts going downhill, and having children isn¡¯t as healthy anymore.¡±


    Qin Yue cautiously asked her mother about some issues¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Qin Yue and her mother had a lot of whispered conversations that evening.


    Father¡¯s love is like a mountain, steadfast and solid.


    And mother¡¯s love is like water; Qin Yue had often shared her secrets with her mother since she was young, the little secrets between women.


    After Ji Ruyun left, Qin Yue lay in bed and sent Chen Cang a message:


    ¡°Chen Cang, do you prefer a daughter or a son?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled when he saw the message, ¡°One of each, how about that?¡±


    Qin Yue sighed, ¡°If you have a daughter, you can¡¯t stop loving me¡­ You have to buy two servings of anything tasty¡­ My mom says women don¡¯t look good after having kids¡­¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Qin Xiaotian¡¯s profile picture and, thinking of her silly appearance, couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    In fact, women are always children at heart; it¡¯s just life that forces them to mature.

 Chapter 527 - Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Taking My Wife to My Parents House

    Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Taking My Wife to My Parents¡¯ House


    Chen Dahai and Yang Jiahui were thrilled to learn that their son was bringing his wife home.


    But after the excitement, they hurriedly began to tidy up the house.


    After all, it was someone else¡¯s daughter coming to their home, and they couldn¡¯t leave a poor impression, right? Moreover, she was from the city, and Yang Jiahui wanted to make sure she was warmly welcomed.


    Nanquan Village, under the jurisdiction of Jinyang City, was named for its proximity to Nanquan Mountain. The scenery, environment, and air quality were good, but the only downside was its relatively slow development.


    Out of the 200 residents in Nanquan Village, not many remained. Most of the young people either went out for schooling or sought work outside, leaving mostly the elderly in the village.


    After arriving in Jinyang City, Chen Cang took a taxi straight home.


    Qin Yue, who had grown up in the city and whose hometown was also a prefecture-level city, found rural life quite fresh. The winding mountain road leading to the village offered a view of the mountainside trees. Even though it was already late November, the sight of the maple leaves spread over the hills was stunningly beautiful.


    The driver, seeing the newcomer¡¯s excitement, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Miss, is it beautiful to you?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s beautiful, the environment here is just too good!¡±


    The driver smiled, ¡°It¡¯s hard to develop this place, and I¡¯ve heard that this is the ¡®dragon vein¡¯ of Dongyang Province and can¡¯t be altered, so it has been protected. I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s true or not, but Nanquan Mountain has been preserved. To be honest, I¡¯m thinking about moving to Nanyang Village to build a house and retire when I get old.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, agreeing that retiring in the village was indeed a good choice¡ªtending to vegetables, raising flowers, keeping a few hens, enjoying a fresh egg every day, and maybe even slaughtering a chicken when in good spirits.


    The people of Dongyang were quite conservative, preferring the idea of ¡®falling leaves returning to their roots.¡¯


    When the car stopped at the entrance of the village, Chen Cang and Qin Yue got off and walked toward the village, pulling their suitcases.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    Over the years, the village had changed with each passing year. Every time he returned, it had transformed significantly¡ªthe roads had been paved, and houses were now connected to natural gas pipelines, with solar panels on their roofs. The only constant was the people of the village.


    Chen Cang was the village¡¯s college graduate, and combined with Chen Dahai¡¯s reputation as a man who traveled extensively, everyone knew that the Chen Family¡¯s eldest son was a doctor in the provincial capital. It was rumored that not long ago, Chen Dahai and his wife went to the provincial capital to buy a house for their son.


    The news spread quickly. Property prices in Anyang City could easily reach one or two million, and upon hearing this, people started to view the Chen Family with new respect. However, there were some who were envious of others¡¯ wealth and accused Chen Dahai of bragging, as it was no small sum.


    Everyone at the village entrance watched as Chen Cang and a beautiful girl, clearly a city dweller, emerged carrying large and small bags, stoking their curiosity instantly.


    ¡°Little Chen, you¡¯re back?¡±


    ¡°Is this¡­ bringing your wife back home, eh?¡±


    ¡°Are you on a break?¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I¡¯m off for a few days, just came home to visit my parents, and this is my girlfriend.¡±


    Introduced by Chen Cang this way, Qin Yue felt delighted inside and greeted the villagers with a smile.


    Lugging the suitcase and carrying the bags, Chen Cang headed home.


    A small river ran long through the village, and Qin Yue looked on happily.


    ¡°Chen Cang, I really like it here!¡±


    ¡°When we¡¯re old, let¡¯s come back to our hometown to retire!¡±


    ¡°If I get pregnant, why not come back here to give birth? The environment is too good, the air¡­ It¡¯s so fresh; I don¡¯t even want to go back to Anyang anymore.¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Cang smiled. The countryside had its advantages, and the city had its conveniences.


    It was nice to stay in one¡¯s hometown when one was still capable, but when one became too old to take care of oneself, the city was safer, with better access to healthcare and other services.


    Yang Jiahui had been anxiously waiting at the doorway for a while, and Chen Dahai was preparing to show off his cooking skills in the kitchen.


    With their daughter-in-law coming over, which parents-in-law wouldn¡¯t be nervous!


    Yang Jiahui was even more nervous than Qin Yue.


    Hearing from Chen Cang that the girl was the daughter of a dean, from a well-off family background, and had always been pampered, she feared that Qin Yue would look down upon their village.


    Although she knew that the girl had taken a liking to her own son, as parents, they still had many concerns.


    Yang Jiahui was also feeling uneasy.


    Before long, Chen Cang and Qin Yue turned the corner and saw his mother standing outside the yard. He immediately waved with a smile and said to Qin Yue, ¡°That¡¯s my mom.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue¡¯s face flushed with embarrassment. She had thought about how to greet her all the way there, but now that she was face to face, she felt somewhat shy.


    Her heart was pounding fiercely, and when she approached, Qin Yue said softly, ¡°Hello, Auntie.¡±


    Yang Jiahui couldn¡¯t speak Mandarin, and upon hearing Qin Yue¡¯s greeting, she immediately burst into laughter, responding in thick dialect with a smile, ¡°Good, good, good, hurry on into the house. You¡¯re here already, what¡¯s with all these things?¡±


    Yang Jiahui hurried into the kitchen and glared at Chen Dahai, ¡°Chen Dahai, hurry up and come! What are you hiding in the kitchen for!¡±


    Chen Dahai, embarrassed, chuckled, ¡°Oh dear, wife, you know I can¡¯t speak Mandarin, and how awkward it would be if I went in there and couldn¡¯t speak or understand what¡¯s being said. That¡¯s so embarrassing!¡±


    Yang Jiahui rolled her eyes, ¡°Cang Er has brought her home to you, is this how you should act as a father? But¡­ that girl can understand us.¡±


    Indeed, as a doctor, she had this particular skill¡ªpatients came from all over, and after listening a lot, she had gotten used to it. She could basically understand the dialects of the Dongyang Province fairly well, or else¡­ communication would indeed be a problem.


    However, even so, Chen Dahai took a deep breath and lit a cigarette, ¡°You go ahead first, I need to calm down.¡±


    Yang Jiahui gave him a look and scolded with a laugh, ¡°You¡¯re really hopeless!¡±


    Chen Dahai took a forceful drag of his cigarette and adjusted his hair in the mirror before finally entering the room.


    Seeing Chen Dahai come in, Qin Yue quickly stood up, ¡°Hello, Uncle, my name is Qin Yue.¡±


    Chen Dahai saw the girl, sparkling and lively, and couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Good, good! A nice name. Please sit down, have an apple, we grew them ourselves.¡±


    Chen Dahai looked at Qin Yue as if she were his own daughter, delightfully pleased. With two sons at home, they were both very fond of girls!


    But sitting there, not knowing what to say, a nervous Chen Dahai got up and said,


    ¡°I¡¯ll make you some of our local dishes. You have a rest first, and we¡¯ll eat in a little while.¡± With that, he hurried off.


    Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Thank you, Uncle.¡±


    Upon hearing this, old Chen was suddenly overjoyed.


    The girl was indeed sweet-talking!


    Chen Dahai and Yang Jiahui really put in the effort to prepare a full table of dishes, even stewing the family¡¯s old hen and getting someone to go into the mountains to catch rabbits, pheasants, and pigeons. The whole table was filled with game, a rarity since Nanquan Mountain hadn¡¯t been developed. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have been easy to gather everything.


    After the meal, Qin Yue insisted on helping with the dishes, but Yang Jiahui pulled her back and signaled to Chen Dahai, who quickly went to tidy up the tableware.


    Being a chef himself and accustomed to dealing with kitchenware daily, Chen Dahai didn¡¯t mind at all, and, feeling somewhat embarrassed, he just got up and got to it.


    Yang Jiahui, being more attentive, prepared new sheets and a new quilt cover for Qin Yue.


    Seeing Yang Jiahui and Chen Dahai bustling about, Qin Yue felt incredibly warm inside.


    Looking at Chen Cang, she said, ¡°Your parents are really nice!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Right?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded happily. Initially, she thought there might be a lot of unfamiliarity and strangeness upon her arrival, but with the warm hospitality of the Chen family, all that was left was a warm sense of happiness.


    Without any surprise, Chen Cang and Qin Yue were not assigned to the same room, which left Chen Cang feeling disappointed for a long time.

 Chapter 528 - Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Theres a Wolf at the Door!

    Chapter 528: Chapter 528: There¡¯s a Wolf at the Door!


    Lying in bed at night, Chen Cang messaged Qin Yue, ¡°Are you afraid to sleep alone?¡±


    Qin Yue was taken aback, ¡°Afraid of what?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Think about it, Nanquan Mountain is right behind you, with wolves on it. Be careful they might climb through your window in the middle of the night.¡±


    Qin Yue sneered, well aware of Chen Cang¡¯s scheming, ¡°Really? Don¡¯t scare me!¡±


    Seeing a chance, Chen Cang immediately nodded, ¡°Of course, why would I lie to you? Don¡¯t you remember what you ate tonight? It was all game meat.¡±


    Qin Yue, ¡°What should I do? Maybe¡­ you should come to my room and keep me company?¡±


    Chen Cang almost laughed out loud, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s fine, open the door and I¡¯ll come in.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s open. You can come in!¡±


    After a few minutes, Chen Cang stood at the door, twisting the handle, and was suddenly startled, the hell with opening!


    The girl is playing me!


    But¡­ Chen Cang didn¡¯t dare knock, afraid of waking up his parents.


    He immediately picked up his phone in frustration, ¡°You woman! I come over to keep you company out of kindness, and you play me.¡±


    Qin Yue giggled under her blankets, ¡°Heh, you just want my body!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.??


    Chen Cang was at a loss for words, unable to respond.


    ¡°No, Yueyue, if you¡¯re not scared, I am. I¡¯m frightened¡­ Maybe you can protect me?¡±


    Qin Yue, ¡°Get lost!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, this cheeky girl, she simply doesn¡¯t take me seriously, doesn¡¯t she know whose territory this is?


    Chen Cang picked up his phone and squatted in the corner by the door, ¡°Don¡¯t you know whose turf this is?¡±


    Qin Yue sneered, ¡°You think I wouldn¡¯t dare call out for uncle and auntie, claiming there¡¯s a wolf outside?¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded, ¡°Where¡¯s the wolf?¡±


    Qin Yue said cheerily, ¡°There¡¯s a big, lecherous wolf at the door!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, Plan A had failed. He¡¯d better think of a good Plan B for tomorrow!


    He went back to his room to sleep honestly. Speaking of which, he slept especially well that night. After taking leave and returning home, Chen Cang¡¯s anxious heart finally settled down.


    After all, he too was an ordinary person, still not capable of saving the world, and he needed the life of an ordinary person.


    Finally, he could be undisturbed.


    The next day, Qin Yue truly experienced what it was like to be woken up by roosters. As the sunlight streamed into the room and the sounds of cocks crowing and dogs barking gradually rose, Qin Yue stretched languidly.


    She had slept soundly the previous night and felt refreshed upon waking.


    After making the bed, she went outside and could see Nanquan Mountain not far away. Deeply inhaling the air, it felt really fresh, as if the air itself was sweet.


    At a distance, the silly dog stared at this unexpected guest wanting to bark but not daring to, for because of this woman, it was confined in a cage without being allowed out.


    It wanted to bark but, considering Chen Dahai¡¯s stick, it sighed, turned around, shook its butt and tail, and silently expressed its discontent.


    The yard was large, with a chicken coop outside where a dozen chickens clamored. Qin Yue could even see a few eggs in a corner of the coop that seemed to have been freshly laid.


    Thinking of this, Qin Yue bent down, stretched out her arm, just able to reach them. The eggs still retained their warmth, which delighted her.


    However, it was clear that the hens were unconcerned about their eggs; they didn¡¯t mind at all as another woman snatched them away. Instead, they flapped their wings and strutted away, looking just like irresponsible chicken mothers!


    As she held the eggs, Qin Yue suddenly heard a sleazy voice.


    ¡°Wow, stealing chickens and dogs early in the morning, hey, what¡¯s that in your hand? You are stealing our eggs! You little thief, caught red-handed.¡± Chen Cang laughed heartily at Qin Yue.


    Before Qin Yue could remember to speak, Yang Jiahui said with a smile, ¡°What are you saying? Aren¡¯t they all Qin Yue¡¯s to begin with! Take as many as you want, Qin Yue, I¡¯ve poured some hot water for you, wash up and eat breakfast early.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue immediately got up with a delighted smile, ¡°Thank you, auntie.¡±


    During the conversation, she cast a sidelong glance at Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang was startled. Is this really my mom?


    After Qin Yue finished washing up, she was still reluctant to part with that egg. After washing it, she decided to crack it herself!


    After breaking it into a bowl, Chen Cang suddenly said with a smile, ¡°Let me show you a magic trick!¡±


    He finished speaking, picked up the chopsticks and clamped onto the egg yolk, astonishingly lifting it!


    This shocked Qin Yue, ¡°How¡­ the egg yolk can actually be picked up with chopsticks? This¡­ this is a raw egg!¡±


    ¡°Impressive, huh?¡±


    Curious, Qin Yue cracked another egg and surprisingly found she could also pick it up.


    The eggs beaten in the morning brought a delicious aroma. Qin Yue suddenly realized, after more than twenty years of eating eggs, this might be the tastiest one.


    In the morning, Chen Dahai said, ¡°Cang Er, take Yueyue to check out the spring on Nanquan Mountain.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue became instantly curious.


    Chen Cang released the silly dog, a shepherd mixed with a Chinese rural dog. In the end, it was a mutt but still had the dignity of a mutt!


    Once let out, it scampered over to Qin Yue, sniffed her scent, and then¡­ snorted.


    This caused Chen Cang to laugh heartily, ¡°See that? Allergic to your perfume.¡±


    Qin Yue spoke with a smile, naturally jotting a note in her mental notebook, waiting to get back to Anyang to see how she¡¯d deal with him.


    The silly dog was rather large, half a meter tall and about seven or eight years old, but it looked quite dopey. Chen Cang had been calling it silly dog for so many years that it had become a habit.


    He had nearly forgotten its original name, so much so that Chen Dahai and Yang Jiahui simply called it silly dog too.


    Many in the village didn¡¯t leash their dogs. Chen Dahai had locked up the silly dog only because he was worried it might scare Qin Yue.


    Initially, Qin Yue was somewhat afraid, but the silly dog seemed to understand the identity and status of this woman. Considering how its neighbor¡¯s chicken was butchered yesterday, it was also a bit fearful. Chen Dahai¡¯s strategy of killing the chicken to warn the monkey had worked well. The act of killing the chicken had been witnessed by the silly dog, and naturally, it became much more well-behaved.


    After some thought, it felt quite secure in its life as a fawning dog, so it went ahead and licked Qin Yue¡¯s shoes.


    This pleased Qin Yue, who bent down to pat the silly dog¡¯s head.


    The silly dog smirked inwardly. Ah, women, so easy to deceive. If Chen Dahai¡¯s stick wasn¡¯t so unpleasing, it wouldn¡¯t have given her the time of day.


    This scene left Chen Cang somewhat dumbfounded. This silly dog¡­ it¡¯s like it¡¯s possessed!


    Truly grasping the essence of a fawning dog. Fawn till the end, and you¡¯ll have it all!


    ¡­


    Nangu Village¡¯s older generation had laid pebbles on the frequently traveled mountain path. Walking on it, smelling the moist air, with the silly dog wagging its head, Qin Yue picked up a stick from the road and threw it ahead, ¡°Chen Cang, fetch!¡±


    Sure enough, the silly dog was quick to understand human nature, dashed out, leaped to catch the stick, and obediently ran back.


    However¡­ it was a bit confused. Why had its name been changed? It seemed¡­ it was now a human¡¯s name?


    Never mind, it doesn¡¯t matter, just keep fawning!


    It simply sat down on the ground, opened its mouth, stuck out its tongue, and started panting happily towards Qin Yue.


    Chen Cang felt a bit of a headache watching it.


    ¡°This silly dog, a traitor. I¡¯ll butcher you tomorrow!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the silly dog instantly stood up, rubbing against Chen Cang¡¯s legs.


    Qin Yue burst out laughing upon seeing this.


    As the silly dog watched the two ahead holding hands, it heaved a silent sigh: Human emotions are so complicated!


    At that moment, Qin Yue called out, ¡°Silly dog, keep up!¡±


    The silly dog, upon hearing this, dashed ahead, running to the front, occasionally looking back to check if its owners were still there, then running a few more steps before looking back again¡­

 Chapter 529 - Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Young Parents Must Pay Attention (Must See)

    Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Young Parents Must Pay Attention (Must See)


    ¡°`Chen Dahai is feeling pretty proud today!


    The two bottles of Moutai that Qin Yue brought over made him happy all night long, and it wasn¡¯t even because they were that expensive or anything.


    The main thing was that they were exactly to his taste, something Chen Dahai would never buy for himself!


    Even though Qin Yue would have been over the moon without bringing anything, holding those two bottles of Moutai made Chen Dahai, who was already quite vain, unbearably proud.


    So that afternoon, he invited some friends over to his house for drinks and started showing off the Moutai.


    ¡°Hey, see this? This was brought by my daughter-in-law. I¡¯ve never even tasted Moutai in my life!¡± Chen Dahai said with a smile.


    A friend by his side picked up the Moutai and took a glance: ¡°Whoa, Old Chen, look at this, it¡¯s a 1999 vintage!¡±


    Old Chen was startled, as he had not noticed that detail before, and quickly picked up the Feitian Moutai to take a closer look!


    He immediately noticed the 1999 marking.


    After seeing this, Old Chen¡¯s expression changed, my goodness, it¡¯s been 20 years, what a treasure!


    With that thought, Old Chen quickly snatched back the bottle from his friend¡¯s hand with utmost care.


    ¡°Hehe, we¡¯re not drinking today!¡±


    After saying that, he quickly got up, carefully packed away the Moutai, and ran into the house to hide it in the cellar, locking the door. After returning upstairs, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one had noticed.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    My goodness, such good liquor would be wasted on you guys. We¡¯ll drink one bottle when Chen Cang gets married and the other when the kid turns one month old.


    Yes!


    I¡¯ll drink it then with the father-in-law.


    Thinking of this, Chen Dahai couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Back in the house, a few cronies stared at Old Chen: ¡°You invite us over¡­ just to show us the liquor?¡±


    Chen Dahai¡¯s face turned red: ¡°Of course not!¡±


    While speaking, he stood up and grabbed a big pile of peanuts and melon seeds: ¡°Eat some seeds, let¡¯s have a chat!¡±


    The guys were instantly infuriated!


    ¡°How dare you, Chen Dahai, you were the happiest when my son-in-law brought over that Wuliangye.¡±


    ¡°Exactly, you also drank quite a bit of that Luzhou Laojiao my daughter brought last year, right?¡±


    ¡°And my 30-year-old Fenjiu¡­¡±


    Chen Dahai laughed heartily, not caring at all, after all, this was 20-year-old Feitian Moutai; just the thought of it made him happy.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that we¡¯re not drinking, it¡¯s just that these days aren¡¯t suitable. Imagine my daughter-in-law coming over for the first time and seeing us drink up all the liquor, how inappropriate would that be? Let¡¯s pick a good day to sit down and have a proper drink!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Today is mother Yang Jiahui¡¯s birthday, and in the evening, the family gathered. There might not be a birthday cake, but there were longevity noodles.


    And a table full of dishes made by Chen Dahai.


    In the evening, Chen Luo called, connected to the video, and they talked for quite a while.


    This made both Yang Jiahui and Chen Dahai feel that their child had indeed grown up.


    Yang Jiahui chatted with Qin Yue, while Chen Dahai and Chen Cang had a few shots of baijiu.


    Just then, a sudden loud knocking on the door arose.


    Accompanied by a child¡¯s loud cries, which could be clearly heard from inside the house across the courtyard.


    Chen Dahai hurried to get up and open the door, only to see a woman running in with a child in her arms.


    ¡°Uncle Chen, is Chen Cang at home?¡±


    Chen Dahai also saw it was Chen Yanni from the village.


    ¡°He¡¯s here, he¡¯s here, come inside quickly, what¡¯s wrong with the child?¡±¡°`


    Chen Yanni was also extremely anxious, ¡°The child¡¯s arm is dislocated, but it seems to be in a peculiar spot. It hurts unbearably whenever I try to adjust it.¡±


    Nowadays, rural doctors are all young girls. After the older generation of barefoot doctors retired, these young people don¡¯t really know how to practice medicine. Their daily tasks are nothing more than registering some chronic diseases, follow-up forms, spreading knowledge, and so on. The people in the village would head straight to the hospital the minute they feel unwell.


    This is also why the elderly, once they get older, are taken to the city by their children. What if they get sick?


    Nanquan Village is the same. There used to be an old barefoot doctor, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner with quite some skill, but after he got old and was no longer capable, his children took him to the city. Now the village only has a woman who never attended a day of medical college and had just a few days of training to fill out forms and dispense medication¡ªhow could she possibly diagnose illnesses?


    After entering, Chen Yanni quickly said, ¡°Xiao Chen, please take a look quickly.¡±


    The child was crying uncontrollably. When Chen Cang saw this, he was momentarily stunned.


    A very common ailment!


    ¡®Nursemaid¡¯s elbow,¡¯ also known as ¡®radial head subluxation.¡¯


    More professionally, it¡¯s called ¡®partial dislocation of the radial head¡¯!


    This condition is very common, particularly because many parents aren¡¯t careful when they are pulling on their children¡¯s arms¡ªwhen walking, climbing stairs, or when a child accidentally falls, they might yank the child¡¯s hand sharply, which can easily cause this injury.


    Many young parents nowadays simply don¡¯t know how to look after children. Chen Cang had seen many such cases in the emergency room, regardless of the parents¡¯ gender.


    And because a child¡¯s bones are not fully developed, the radial head can slide towards the distal end. When it snaps back into place, the upper half of the annular ligament doesn¡¯t retract in time and gets pinched inside the elbow joint, leading to a partial dislocation of the radial head.


    If not treated promptly, it can easily lead to problems!


    However, as the child grows and the radial head develops properly, the annular ligament also thickens and strengthens, preventing future subluxations.


    Chen Cang told the woman, ¡°Put the child down.¡±


    Chen Yanni quickly nodded her head, but the child was wailing and refused to let Chen Cang touch his arm.


    Qin Yue hurried over with a piece of chocolate, ¡°Don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry. Auntie has something tasty for you.¡±


    Chen Yanni also said, ¡°Uncle is a doctor, it will stop hurting in a second, be good, be good.¡±


    It was unclear whether it was the allure of the chocolate or the fear of the doctor, but the child did stop crying.


    While the child¡¯s attention was diverted, Chen Cang took the opportunity to rotate the forearm posteriorly, extend the elbow, and apply a little traction!


    Then he skillfully pressed his thumb on the small round head of the child¡¯s radial bone near the elbow joint and flexed the elbow joint sharply!


    Immediately, a sound could be heard!


    The child stopped crying.


    Chen Cang took a washcloth from the house and used it to immobilize the child¡¯s arm.


    At this time, Chen Yanni¡¯s parents also rushed in, anxious, but seeing that the child was no longer crying, they let out a sigh of relief.


    However, they said to Chen Yanni, ¡°The child¡¯s bones are not fully developed; when you pull on the child, don¡¯t use too much force. Otherwise, it¡¯s very easy to cause habitual dislocation. Also, prolonged dislocation can easily lead to many complications and is not conducive to the child¡¯s skeletal development. Be more careful in the future.¡±


    An anxious Chen Yanni nodded continuously, ¡°Thank you, Doctor Chen!¡±


    The parents behind her also nodded repeatedly, ¡°Yes, yes, Xiao Chen, you are really amazing; you fixed it just like that.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°When you go back, keep it immobilized for a week and don¡¯t move it around. There¡¯s been ligament strain, and if it doesn¡¯t recover properly, the impact can be significant!¡±


    Chen Yanni nodded hurriedly.


    Chen Cang sighed helplessly; young people today really don¡¯t take care of children as well as the older generation. This kind of ¡®nursemaid¡¯s elbow¡¯ rarely occurred when the older generation looked after children, but in the emergency room, it was common to see young people rushing in with their children.


    The issue is that some young people like to ¡°play with children¡± or are not careful when playing with them. A little bit of carelessness, a bit of excessive force, and injuries can easily occur. When pulling on a child¡¯s hand, they do it casually, and if the child falls, they simply yank them up, which can easily cause partial dislocation of the radial head.


    Many young parents are somewhat negligent when it comes to their children.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: This case was suggested by a reader, and I think it¡¯s also necessary to educate everyone on this. From recent book reviews, I noticed that many readers are about to become parents. I hope everyone will be careful and not cause unnecessary harm to children.


    Often it¡¯s young parents lifting a child off the ground, with the child¡¯s upper limbs raised and the parents¡¯ arms lowered. When they encounter stairs, the parents suddenly lift the child¡¯s hand to help the child over the steps, and symptoms appear immediately thereafter. Or, when forcefully putting a wool sweater on a child, rough pulling can also lead to radial head subluxation.


    I hope that parents will be a little more careful with their children. After all, the bones haven¡¯t finished developing, and the ligaments are fragile.


    ps: Thanks to ¡°Gardenia¡¯s Whispering Wind¡± for another 10000 reward, becoming an elder, haha, thank you!

 Chapter 530 - Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Battle of Wits and Bravery

    Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Battle of Wits and Bravery


    Everyone says that no secret can be kept in a village, and last night, the news that Chen Cang had set the bones for Chen Yanni¡¯s child spread throughout the entire village.


    Everyone was praising the Chen Family kid for being a big-city doctor, saying how impressive it was!


    The next morning, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t even fully awake when he was roused by Chen Dahai.


    This caught the still groggy Chen Cang, who had been matching wits with Qin Xiaotian all night, off guard.


    ¡°What¡¯s up, Dad?¡±


    ¡°Qin Yue is already up; you¡¯re still in bed. Everyone in the village heard you two were here and they all want you to take a look at their ailments,¡± Chen Dahai explained.


    ¡°Hurry up, get on up. We owe it to our friends and neighbors. It¡¯s not easy for you to come back this time, so have a look at everyone¡¯s problems, write some prescriptions or something!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned and immediately felt embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯m an emergency surgery doctor, what do I know about traditional Chinese medicine, let alone writing prescriptions¡­¡±


    But still, he hurried out of bed.


    However, Chen Cang felt a tinge of regret; after all, he was only home for two days and to have them slip by¡ªthis little thief just wouldn¡¯t give him a chance to make a move. At the thought, Chen Cang sighed.


    Alas¡­


    After getting ready, Chen Cang stepped outside and found many people in the courtyard. Seeing Chen Cang up, they greeted him warmly with smiles.


    Inside the house, Qin Yue was chatting with an old lady about controlling blood pressure and such.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    In reality, what kind of illnesses could they possibly treat at home? It was mostly neighbors coming over with X-rays they had no idea when they have taken, asking if there was anything wrong.


    Most of the time, what people sought was psychological comfort.


    Or, they would ask if they needed surgery or something similar.


    Qin Yue was very warm and likeable ¨C you could tell just by looking at Yang Jiahui¡¯s joyful face.


    Coming out of the house, the villagers kept praising Chen Dahai for his good fortune, saying that he would be living the good life from now on. With a beautiful and good-natured daughter-in-law and two doctors in the family, they would surely be moving to the big city for luxury.


    Chen Dahai, grinning from ear to ear, took out the Zhonghua cigarettes he usually couldn¡¯t bear to smoke and handed them out to the villagers.


    Seeing the cigarettes, several men laughed: ¡°Dahai¡¯s stepping up, starting to smoke Zhonghua now!¡±


    Chen Dahai laughed heartily: ¡°It¡¯s the girl who brought them for me. She knows I like smoking and drinking and brought me some good cigarettes and liquor to enjoy.¡±


    A drinking buddy aside commented to the person next to him, ¡°The girl brought Old Chen Maotai! Flying Fairy Maotai, you know? 20 years aged! I looked it up online last night; it goes for four or five thousand.¡±


    Chen Dahai¡¯s face flushed with pride!


    When parents grow older, they live through their children.


    It¡¯s said that before thirty, a man seeks his father¡¯s approval, but after thirty, it¡¯s the father who seeks the son¡¯s.


    These words couldn¡¯t be truer.


    Qin Yue¡¯s medical knowledge was very solid, and she thoroughly explained everything to the visiting villagers, who left feeling enlightened and grateful.


    For those who considered surgery, Qin Yue said with a smile, ¡°Uncle, if you need surgery, you don¡¯t have to look anywhere else. If it¡¯s gallbladder surgery, just go directly to the provincial second hospital and find Chen Cang! Chen Cang is our hospital¡¯s famed surgeon; he¡¯s very famous for his surgeries!¡±


    Hearing this, people immediately got up, laughing and shaking hands with Chen Cang, telling Chen Dahai and Yang Jiahui standing nearby, ¡°This is wonderful, your son is so accomplished.¡±


    This gave Chen Dahai and Yang Jiahui an immediate sense of pride and joy.


    Yet, that¡¯s how people are: for every person who respects you, there¡¯s someone who looks down on you. The same principle applies everywhere.


    In the village, people loved to chat over tea and meals about whose children are doing well, how much money someone is making, and what they¡¯re up to here and there.


    Upon hearing how good and great Chen Cang was, those who felt displeased would say:


    ¡°Still buying a 20-year Feitian Moutai, with that kind of money, why not buy a car? Such pretentiousness.¡±


    ¡°Oh, Chen Dahai just loves to brag, and Chen Cang took a job and turned into this.¡±


    ¡°Exactly, carrying big and small bags, and still taking a taxi home, how far is Anyang City anyway? If he really had the guts, he¡¯d buy a decent car to drive.¡±


    ¡­


    Naturally, those who despise poverty are uncomfortable seeing others do well, speaking with such acidity. But that¡¯s to be expected.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue took a car in the afternoon and driving to Anyang City would only take a little over three hours.


    Chen Cang, who had decided to buy a car, had been too busy to even look at cars recently. He thought he¡¯d deal with it after returning, planning to buy a car before the New Year for a more convenient trip home.


    During lunch, suddenly a man rushed in, frantic: ¡°Dahai! Dahai! Quick, hurry, Old He slid down from the mountain pass and got impaled by a branch in his stomach!¡±


    At those words, everyone who was eating was instantly stunned!


    Old He was Chen Dahai¡¯s drinking buddy. They¡¯d sit and chat over drinks whenever, with their children working in Beijing.


    Upon hearing this news, Chen Cang and Qin Yue quickly stood up, their professional habits kicking in as they urgently asked, ¡°Where is Uncle He right now?¡±


    The man¡¯s face was a picture of panic: ¡°He¡¯s still trapped on the slope; a bunch of people don¡¯t dare to move him, and we¡¯ve called 120. Chen, you and Qin Yue go have a look. We¡¯re afraid to move him ourselves in case we make things worse.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, put down his chopsticks with Qin Yue, and followed the man out the door.


    Chen Dahai was also in a state of utmost urgency.


    Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, they immediately saw a crowd gathered not far away on the slope.


    When Chen Cang got there, the man shouted, ¡°Make way, make way, Xiao Chen is here!¡±


    At his words, the crowd quickly cleared a path.


    Chen Cang focused his gaze and immediately saw a man with a hole in his stomach, still bleeding, with a pointed piece of wood sticking out of the wound.


    Chen Cang was taken aback!


    The position of the wooden stub was close to the right upper abdomen, near the liver. Chen Cang¡¯s biggest concern was whether it had damaged the abdominal liver or major blood vessels. Although the branch wasn¡¯t very thick, the angle it had pierced at was still very dangerous.


    With that in mind, Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t move for now.¡±


    There was no need for Chen Cang to say it, as the sight of such a bloody scene had already made everyone afraid to move.


    Chen Cang hurried to examine the man and asked, ¡°Uncle He, how are you feeling now?¡±


    The man had one hand over his eyes and the other reached towards his stomach but didn¡¯t dare to touch it: ¡°It hurts! An excruciating pain! It keeps hurting¡­¡±


    Hearing the man¡¯s words, Chen Cang was somewhat relieved. This kind of persistent pain in a trauma case usually wasn¡¯t serious.


    Peritoneal irritation signs aren¡¯t typical, bowel sounds reduced!


    Chen Cang quickly ordered, ¡°Go get a stethoscope and a blood pressure monitor.¡±


    A man stood up quickly and ran towards the clinic in the village.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, placed his hand on the man¡¯s radial artery¡ªhis heart rate was a bit fast, breathing seemed normal.


    The things that could be done right now were really limited; one wouldn¡¯t dare to pull out the stick, two wouldn¡¯t dare to move him carelessly.


    Fortunately, the bleeding didn¡¯t seem to be too severe, not requiring immediate hemostasis. This, in turn, increased the safety margin considerably.


    Those who have watched TV know, in ancient times, if someone was pierced by an arrow, it wasn¡¯t dangerous unless pulled out; removing it could be more dangerous!

 Chapter 531 - Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Challenging Us, Huh?

    Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Challenging Us, Huh?


    At this moment, the village doctor, a young girl, rushed over with a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope. Qin Yue measured the blood pressure and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, ¡°120/70mmHg! Blood pressure is stable.¡±


    Chen Cang placed the stethoscope on the abdomen and listened, finding no bowel sounds, indicating definite intestinal damage. The only uncertainty was the liver, but since it was neither visible nor palpable, they could only wait for rescue!


    Fortunately, the vital signs were still relatively stable.


    They had to wait for the ambulance.


    The wait was long and anxious.


    He Yonggang¡¯s wife stood by worriedly, clutching the phone to call their child far away in Beijing, her voice choked with emotion.


    Seeing that the patient¡¯s condition was relatively stable, Chen Cang decisively said, ¡°Drive him to the city hospital, there¡¯s no need to wait for the ambulance. Going back and forth will just waste time.¡±


    After careful consideration, Chen Cang knew that He Yonggang¡¯s vital signs were stable and that there was no severe injury at the moment. An ambulance coming from the city and going back would just be a waste of time.


    Chen Cang also felt confident in maintaining the patient¡¯s current vital signs without putting their life at risk.


    Under the premise of ensuring the patient¡¯s safety, getting to the hospital as soon as possible was the best choice. One shouldn¡¯t hold ambulances in such high regard, especially for trauma patients.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Dahai quickly went home and drove his van out.


    This was the van used by Chen Dahai for stocking up on groceries and ingredients.


    Chen Cang and the others obtained a door panel, and four or five people carefully loaded the man onto it. They folded down the back seat of the van, and a group of people lifted Old He inside.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue, along with Old He¡¯s wife, headed towards the hospital.


    On the way, Old He¡¯s wife kept talking to him, afraid that he would fall asleep.


    As for Old He, he winced and moaned in pain continuously.


    Chen Dahai drove steadily, and Qin Yue checked the blood pressure every five minutes, fearing any problem.


    The blood pressure was still stable above 100, which didn¡¯t worry Chen Cang too much¡­


    But waiting for an ambulance would have been unpredictable and could have taken much longer.


    As time ticked away, after about 40 minutes, the vehicle arrived at Jin Yang City People¡¯s Hospital emergency department entrance.


    Chen Cang, together with Chen Dahai and Old Yang who came along in the van, carefully carried the patient straight into the emergency department.


    ¡°Abdominal trauma, get a gurney,¡± said Chen Cang upon entering the emergency room, speaking out of habit to the nurses¡¯ station.


    The young nurse by the side widened her eyes in astonishment.


    Fortunately, a doctor nearby reacted quickly, promptly saying, ¡°What are you waiting for, go get a gurney!¡±


    Shen Xiuyuan hurried forward to examine the patient: ¡°What happened?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°He Yonggang, male, 62 years old, married, farmer, fell from a mountain one hour ago, abdominal puncture wound, foreign object retained within the abdomen, initial symptoms include: continuous pain in the right upper quadrant for one hour¡­ Conscious and clear speech, cooperative upon examination, a 4cm irregular wound visible in the right upper abdomen, deep into the abdominal cavity, omentum protruding, abdominal tenderness with rebound pain, blood pressure 100/60mmHg, bowel sounds absent, suspicion of liver damage, no signs of major bleeding observed¡­ Past medical history: hypertension for 13 years, oral¡­¡±


    Chen Cang had already thoroughly inquired about the patient¡¯s history from the family, and his proficient description of symptoms left Shen Xiuyuan dumbfounded.


    This is¡­ really professional!


    It seemed¡­ even more professional than himself¡­


    Even the emergency nurses on the side were stunned.


    Was this person here to show off?


    Clearly, no!


    After the gurney was brought out, everyone lifted Old He onto it, and Chen Cang looked at Shen Xiuyuan: ¡°Doctor, thank you for your efforts!¡±


    Shen Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback: ¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all!¡±


    Shen Xiuyuan turned to the nurse and ordered, ¡°Oxygen! And get on the monitor.¡±


    ¡°Prepare for the venous puncture to establish the access, draw blood for blood typing and cross-matching,¡±


    ¡­


    Shen Xiuyuan¡¯s series of procedures were still quite methodical, and Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief.


    He wouldn¡¯t foolishly interfere with someone else¡¯s treatment, nor would he rashly boast about his own capabilities.


    After all, his current role was that of a patient¡¯s family member.


    Just now, he had been giving an account of the patient¡¯s condition, trying to give the emergency doctors a preliminary understanding as quickly as possible.


    At this moment, inside the emergency room, Shen Xiuyuan, looking at the patient¡¯s vital signs and a series of other factors, recalled the words of the young man from just before and was somewhat stunned!


    Because from beginning to end, everything matched up perfectly, and the other party¡¯s description was even more professional, serious, and reliable than his own.


    The nurse beside him whispered, ¡°Dr. Shen, that¡­ the handsome guy just now must be a doctor, right!?¡±


    Shen Xiuyuan, cutting open the patient¡¯s clothes to examine the wound, nodded, ¡°He must be!¡±


    The nurse breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°But¡­ the speech he gave just now was so imposing, it startled me. If I didn¡¯t know better, I¡¯d have thought the chief surgeon had arrived!¡±


    Shen Xiuyuan was taken aback and thought about it; indeed, it was very much like that!


    Chen Cang, who worked regularly in the emergency room, often faced various acute situations. Sometimes his instructions were delivered with decisive clarity, carrying an air of unquestionable authority, which was why the nurse had been momentarily dazed.


    Outside, Chen Cang, having completed the procedures with Mr. He¡¯s wife, was now waiting both patiently and anxiously.


    Seeing her somewhat tense and even on the verge of collapse, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but begin to comfort her.


    Sitting here for the first time as a family member, Chen Cang, to be honest, really felt no sense of security!


    Otherwise, why would the family members of patients be so anxious?


    However, what family members are nervous about is worrying about the patient¡¯s condition.


    What Chen Cang was thinking at the moment was: The relevant tests should be completed as soon as possible, a gastric tube should be placed, a suction device should be connected for gastrointestinal decompression¡­ Effective antibiotics should be used, and for open abdominal injuries, tetanus antitoxin should be injected¡­


    Then, the abdominal exploration should be started as quickly as possible!


    After all, there were still unstable pieces of wood stuck inside the belly!


    Everything was an unstable factor!


    ¡­


    The feeling was like that of a veteran driver sitting in the passenger seat, watching someone else drive.


    Always feeling insecure, wishing he could take over the steering wheel immediately and gain absolute control¡­


    Thinking this, Chen Cang quickly shook his head, reminding himself that as a patient¡¯s family member, he still needed to trust the doctor.


    After preparing, Shen Xiuyuan quickly transported the patient to the operating room, ready to perform abdominal surgery to remove the foreign object.


    However, upon making the abdominal incision, he found that the wooden fork penetrating the abdominal cavity was not a simple stick, but also had small, branched twigs that had pierced into the liver!


    The sharp end of the fork had deeply penetrated into the intestines, creating a large fistula.


    On the other side of the liver, which was the most dangerous location, a thin wooden shard forked right near the hepatic vein, with blood seeping out continuously.


    Shen Xiuyuan¡¯s face changed color, and he turned to the nurse, ¡°Call the chief surgeon, have him come to emergency immediately!¡±


    ¡°Also, prepare a critical condition notice for the family to sign.¡±


    The situation had now exceeded what Shen Xiuyuan could handle!


    Thankfully, the patient had been brought in time; otherwise, the problem could have been much bigger. Looking at the blood oozing from the hepatic vein, Shen Xiuyuan¡¯s back was covered in cold sweat!

 Chapter 532 - Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Expert Fee...... (1/6)

    Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Expert Fee¡­¡­ (1/6)


    The atmosphere in the operating room was tense and oppressive.


    The heads of the Emergency Department, Ji Qu, and the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department, Shen Xiuyuan, as well as the General Surgery Department Chief, Qi Xiao, were all gathered in the operating room, their eyes meticulously fixated on the situation within the abdominal cavity, not daring to be careless in the slightest!


    It was at this very moment that Chen Cang realized just how reckless his previous actions had been¡­


    Thinking back on his earlier laparotomy, a wave of fear washed over him, and cold sweat seeped out, already soaking the clothes underneath.


    If his movements had been any larger just now, the situation might have been completely uncontrollable¡­


    But the abdomen was already open, and even though they could see the sharp wooden fork piercing into the abdominal cavity, no one dared to make any rash movements.


    Even the sound of breathing in the operating room began to seem noisy.


    Ji Qu, the head of the Emergency Department, frowned deeply. Through the shadowless lamp, one could clearly see the sharp wood entering the intestines, and the feculent secretions, which had not seeped out, were completely blocked by the sharp wood that had penetrated the intestinal wound!


    Exploration within the abdominal cavity needed to continue; the operation couldn¡¯t be halted because of this.


    Ji qu said in a grave tone, ¡°No bile-like fluid found in the abdomen!¡±


    ¡°No damage to the major blood vessels has been detected.¡±


    ¡°The liver has a clear penetrative wound, but the bleeding isn¡¯t too obvious.¡±


    ¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    The exploration was cautious and step by step, and at that moment, the head of the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department, Yang Ziming, suddenly said, ¡°Old Ji, don¡¯t move!¡±


    That statement made Ji Qu freeze, and even Qi Xiao, the head of the General Surgery Department beside him, looked towards Yang Ziming.


    Yang Ziming swallowed hard, ¡°There are remnants of twigs broken off inside the hepatic artery, and there is a clear puncture wound near the hepatic vein. If you move recklessly now, you could easily cause massive bleeding!¡±


    That pronouncement made Ji Qu involuntarily stop his work.


    A moment later, Ji Qu couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t stopping the bleeding be enough? If we don¡¯t deal with it now and the intestines fully rupture, spreading feces, we won¡¯t be able to control an infection across the entire abdominal cavity.¡±


    Indeed, there was logic to that reasoning, as feces have a strong infectious potential. The abdominal cavity was already compromised due to the entry of foreign bodies, and if the intestinal contents were to leak out, managing an abdominal infection would be very troublesome!


    Generally speaking, visceral injuries aren¡¯t necessarily fatal; slow and steady hemostasis followed by repair should suffice according to the principle of ¡°hemostasis first, repair later.¡±


    Yang Ziming said sternly, ¡°If there is an infection, we can manage it with anti-infection measures, but if the hepatic vein is ruptured, no one here can save him!¡±


    The voice was not loud, but to everyone¡¯s ears, it struck like thunder!


    Damages to the hepatic vein are not just a single vein injury, but rather damage to the main hepatic veins and the inferior vena cava below the liver.


    Due to the special anatomical location behind the liver and the difficulty in treatment, injuries to the hepatic vein remain one of the most challenging problems in the field of hepatobiliary surgery to this day.


    Yang Ziming was not trying to be alarmist, but rather he took a deep breath and with a grave expression said, ¡°Let me put it this way, the average mortality rate for hepatic vein injuries is as high as 83%, and that¡¯s the mortality rate in the operating room, do you understand?¡±


    Ji Qu was taken aback; he could comprehend a mortality rate of 83% being high, but¡­ the concept of an operating room mortality rate somewhat stunned him!


    After all, it was an extremely specialized case, and even as the head of the Emergency Surgery Department, Ji Qu wasn¡¯t completely familiar with it.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you do it?¡±


    Yang Ziming¡¯s face flushed red, and he chuckled self-deprecatingly, ¡°Don¡¯t mention me, there are no more than three people in Dongyang who can do it, and moreover¡­ this is just being able to do it, not necessarily willing to do it.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not joking. Injury to the hepatic veins can cause fatal hemorrhages. These large veins have thin walls, and some parts are enwrapped by liver tissue, so¡­ both surgery and repair are very difficult!


    Moreover, the most important thing is their anatomical position behind the liver, which is difficult to expose, and if surgery is conducted under direct vision, it could lead to even more severe bleeding, and there is the risk of air embolism;


    and¡­ if hemostasis is attempted blindly, it could worsen the injury!¡±


    Yang Ziming said all this in one breath, sighed, and slowly added, ¡°So, do you think it¡¯s dangerous or not?¡±


    A single sentence silenced everyone!


    They dared not explore further.


    Yang Ziming glanced at Shen Xiuyuan and asked, ¡°Has the critical condition notification been signed?¡±


    Shen Xiuyuan nodded: ¡°It has been signed!¡±


    Yang Ziming hummed: ¡°Since the condition has changed, go and get another signed, and also, the risk notification, tell the patient about the risk¡­¡±


    ¡°Right, you go in person.¡±


    The critical condition notification is not only signed once, but also if other new, more dangerous diseases are discovered, it must be signed again to inform the patient!


    Shen Xiuyuan promptly removed his gloves, picked up the medical record, tore off two signature forms from the outside, wrote a few sentences, and then hurriedly walked outside!


    At this time, Chen Cang and his party were sitting outside the operating room, constantly comforting He¡¯s wife, who had been truly frightened by the previous critical condition notification.


    Only then did Chen Cang console her: ¡°Auntie, for any surgery with risks, the hospital will have you sign a consent form. You must understand that surgery itself carries risks. It¡¯s just procedure, don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be okay!¡±


    But no matter how Chen Cang consoled her, she couldn¡¯t help but shiver with fear.


    At that moment, the door to the operating room opened again, and Shen Xiuyuan rushed out, saying to He¡¯s wife, ¡°Hello, the patient¡¯s condition has changed, and we¡¯ve found a splinter entering near the hepatic vein. The patient¡¯s condition is very critical now, and we need your signature.¡±


    A single sentence instantly devastated the already trembling woman, the words ¡°very critical¡± breaking down her psychological defenses.


    It had only been a few days since her son and daughter had started their own families, and just as the good times began, this happened.


    The woman was suddenly at a loss.


    And Shen Xiuyuan, somewhat helplessly, tried to comfort her all over again.


    Chen Cang was taken aback and asked, ¡°Can the hospital perform the surgery?¡±


    It was then that Shen Xiuyuan remembered Chen Cang, who seemed to be a doctor, and shook his head: ¡°We can¡¯t guarantee it, but¡­ if you¡¯re not reassured¡­¡±


    At that moment, Yang Ziming himself came out and said to He¡¯s wife, ¡°Here¡¯s the thing, the patient¡¯s condition is very critical right now, and although we can ensure safety for the moment, there could be accidents at any time. Our hospital does not have the capability to perform this kind of surgery.¡±


    ¡°If we transfer hospitals, I¡¯m worried the patient might not tolerate it. There could also be accidents in the ambulance, so it¡¯s best to bring in an outside expert.¡±


    He¡¯s wife took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: ¡°Doctor, you must save our He, I¡­ I¡¯m just a farmer, I don¡¯t know any experts.¡±


    Yang Ziming sighed: ¡°Our hospital has always been in touch with the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department of Dong University Second Hospital in An Yang. We can invite them to perform the surgery, but¡­ it might require you to pay the expert fee, because in this situation¡­¡±

 Chapter 533 - Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Getting it without any effort! (2/6)

    Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Getting it without any effort! (2/6)


    This society is just so realistic!


    If you don¡¯t have money, you might not even be able to afford a specialist.


    Even if your life is hanging by a thread right now, if the hospital truly cannot perform the surgery, you can only ask for a specialist, and the specialist¡¯s fee will have to be borne by yourself.


    Yang Ziming sighed, looking at Old He¡¯s wife, and by observing the woman¡¯s attire, one could tell she was a simple rural woman.


    But he, Yang Ziming, really had no confidence in carrying out such a surgery.


    Self-blame was of no use, and complaining about the high fees charged by some specialists was also futile.


    Seeing the distraught look on Old He¡¯s wife, Yang Ziming sighed and made a phone call, saying, ¡°Big sister, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll make a call to contact a specialist from the province for you. The person is the director of hepatobiliary surgery at Dongda Second Hospital, and he remembers he can perform such a surgery. Just wait a moment.¡±


    After finishing speaking, Yang Ziming picked up the phone and walked to the side to start making the call.


    ¡°Professor Wang, hello, yes, this is Yang Ziming! It¡¯s like this, Professor Wang, we have a patient here¡­ Yes, we can stabilize his condition for now, but it¡¯s hard to say if it will be fine for long, yes! Yes, yes.¡±


    ¡°Do you have time? Please come over as soon as possible¡­¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, then I will talk to the family!¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Yang Ziming cursed in his heart; this Professor Wang always cost a huge sum whenever he visited and was arrogant, with his words showing complete disdain for local directors like them, always carrying an attitude of superiority, which made Yang Ziming rather uncomfortable.


    However, there was no help for it when one was in need of favors, and in Yang Ziming¡¯s memory, it was only he and Professor Qian Liang who performed this surgery well.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    And the status of Professor Qian Liang was so high that even Yang Ziming might not be able to invite him.


    After hanging up the call, Yang Ziming took a deep breath and walked over to the family.


    ¡°Big sister, this is the situation. I have contacted the director from Dongda Second Hospital, Professor Wang Shou. In our province, he performs this type of surgery quite well.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s shameful to say, but if I perform this surgery, the success rate is less than five percent, whereas Professor Wang might increase it to over twenty percent. However¡­ the professor said that the surgery is highly risky and complex, and it requires a specialist fee of twenty thousand yuan.¡±


    ¡°This¡­ rest assured, big sister, our hospital won¡¯t intervene, but you will have to pay Professor Wang yourself.¡±


    After saying this, even Yang Zhiming felt a bit embarrassed!


    After all, twenty thousand yuan is indeed a lot, and it¡¯s not as if paying 20,000 yuan guarantees a great chance of success¡­


    ¡°Financial and physical ruin¡± is an all-too-common occurrence for hospitals.


    And it is the most tragic.


    For this rural woman, it was still very challenging!


    Yang Zhiming sighed, ¡°Of course, you can also contact a specialist on your own¡­ but time is of the essence.¡±


    Yang Zhiming said this while shaking his head.


    Where could an old farmer know so many specialists!


    When Old He¡¯s wife heard this, she indeed looked distraught.


    Her son and daughter still owed a huge mortgage, but¡­ even so, the person still had to be saved, money had to be borrowed to save him, and if it came to having no money, there was nothing one could do. As for contacting a specialist herself, as an ordinary citizen, where would she know any specialists!


    At that thought, Lao He¡¯s wife was about to speak.


    Chen Dahai and Old Yang by his side had already said, ¡°Sister-in-law, don¡¯t worry about the money, I¡¯ll go home and get it now, just wait for a moment.¡±


    However, Chen Dahai suddenly remembered something and asked Chen Cang, ¡°Cang Er, do you know this expert? Or do you know any other experts?¡±


    Chen Cang had already listened to the earlier introduction of the disease and, of course, knew the experts in the field of hepatobiliary medicine, whether it was Qian Liang or Zhou Hongguang from the capital, but he really was unfamiliar with this Wang Shou.


    Since Dongda Second Hospital didn¡¯t interact much with their hospital, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t very familiar with it.


    But now, it was clear that they couldn¡¯t afford any delay in calling for an expert¡­ there was no need!


    Because Chen Cang himself knew how to perform such surgery.


    Qin Yue stood up and said, ¡°How about I call my dad and ask him to reach out for a connection?¡±


    Chen Cang waved his hand, ¡°No need, I¡¯ll do it, I can perform this surgery.¡±


    With one sentence, he had left Shen Xiuyuan and Yang Ziming baffled.


    At this moment, the director of the emergency department, Ji Qu, came out of the operating room and said to the family, ¡°I have contacted Director He Tong of our Anyang City Emergency Center, and he is also aware of your situation and very concerned, but¡­ transporting the patient would be very risky, he will help you find a specialist as soon as possible, and this way, it will be much cheaper than if you were to hire a specialist yourself.¡±


    Indeed, the implication was clear, if the hospital helped in contacting, it would be considered medical assistance, and naturally, the cost wouldn¡¯t be as high.


    Upon hearing this, Lao He¡¯s wife was so grateful she almost knelt down before Ji Qu.


    Ji Qu quickly supported her, sighed, and said, ¡°Big sister, that¡¯s how our grassroots hospitals are, we have no choice, we can only do our best, there¡¯s really no other way.¡±


    Indeed, just like Ji Qu said, there are many helpless situations at the grassroots level, and it is very difficult to diagnose and treat complex and miscellaneous diseases!


    Perhaps it¡¯s somewhat far-fetched to consider Jin Yang City People¡¯s Hospital a grassroots level in a prefectural-level city, but¡­ how much difference is there really in the face of many complex diseases?


    Especially in emergency cases, sometimes the hospital does not have the capability to rescue, and transferring to another hospital might be too late¡­ and specialists may not be willing to come since they operate on the principle of profit, and moreover, it is a critical and severe case, so coming over may not necessarily earn them gratitude.


    To put it unpleasantly, at times like this, many doctors have already started to prepare the family for the worst.


    At this point, Chen Cang said, ¡°Directors, let me introduce myself, I am Chen Cang from the Provincial Second Hospital, and I can perform surgery for the patient¡¯s condition.¡±


    The reason Chen Cang did not say so at the beginning was because no hospital would just let you go ahead ¨C human life is at stake, not a joke; do you think that just because you¡¯re a doctor you can perform surgery anywhere in the country?


    Of course not!


    Hospitals have their own procedures and regulations, you say you are competent, but whose responsibility is it if something goes wrong?


    Medical responsibilities and disputes between doctors and patients are the most troublesome.


    Ji Qu and Yang Ziming looked at Chen Cang and shook their heads, saying nothing.


    Seeing their reaction, Chen Cang suddenly thought of what the emergency department director Ji Qu had just mentioned, that He Tong was currently seeking a specialist for rescue. With that thought, Chen Cang picked up the phone and called the director of the emergency center, He Tong.


    Upon getting through, Chen Cang got straight to the point, ¡°Director He, hello, this is Chen Cang. I¡¯m currently in front of the operating room at Jin Yang City People¡¯s Hospital. The patient is an uncle of mine, and yes, I am capable of performing this surgery. Could you please coordinate with the hospital here¡­ yes¡­ alright, alright¡­ no problem!¡±


    After hanging up, Ji Qu, Yang Ziming, and Shen Xiuyuan looked at Chen Cang in some astonishment ¨C this young man¡­


    Just at this moment, Ji Qu¡¯s phone rang!

 Chapter 534 - Chapter 534: Chapter 534: Teacher Chen, the lights are in place (3/6)

    Chapter 534: Chapter 534: Teacher Chen, the lights are in place (3/6)


    He Tong picked up the phone and made several calls one after another, yet no expert was willing to go down, all of them saying they couldn¡¯t perform such surgery!


    Liver vein injury repair!


    Even He Tong felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, but what could he do, he couldn¡¯t just stand by and watch someone die, right?


    This kind of situation was very difficult for a primary hospital to handle.


    Just as He Tong was at his wits¡¯ end, suddenly Chen Cang¡¯s phone rang.


    After hearing what Chen Cang said, He Tong¡¯s eyes burst into a smile. To this young man, He Tong of course could not regard him as an ordinary person, he was a genius!


    He had managed to save patients with ruptured ascending aortas in time¡­


    Perhaps, Chen Cang really could handle this liver vein injury repair surgery?


    ¡­


    Ji Qu saw his phone light up and was momentarily stunned. Upon seeing the call was from no other than He Tong, the director, he was taken aback.


    After answering the phone, Ji Qu said, ¡°Director He, hello!¡±


    He Tong said with a smile, ¡°Director Ji, you¡¯re looking for big shots all around, but Chen Cang, Doctor Chen, is actually the leader of the Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s emergency rescue team!¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to look for anyone else! Just let Doctor Chen Cang handle it, he¡¯s very skilled!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Ji Qu looked up at Chen Cang, and looking at this man who was not even thirty years old, he was somewhat doubtful, ¡°Director He, the Doctor Chen you mentioned¡­ how old is he?¡±


    He Tong was startled, ¡°He¡¯s right outside your operating room, a relative of the patient, also around thirty years old, I guess.¡±


    ¡­


    Ji Qu hung up the phone and looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, I apologize, but the patient¡¯s life is at stake, and I cannot disregard that.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, understanding, ¡°No worries, Director Ji, let¡¯s start preparing for the surgery as soon as possible!¡±


    At that moment, Yang Ziming suddenly remembered, his eyes widened as he said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re Doctor Chen! Right, I remember you, you presented at last month¡¯s Hepatobiliary Surgery Conference.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, giving an embarrassed smile, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Chen Cang.¡±


    Yang Ziming nodded excitedly shaking hands, ¡°Hello, hello, I¡¯m Yang Ziming, Director of Hepatobiliary Surgery.¡±


    After the pleasantries, Chen Cang turned to Chen Dahai and Qin Yue, soothing Old He¡¯s wife with reassurance, ¡°Aunt, don¡¯t worry, trust me!¡±


    The woman nodded with tear-filled eyes, giving her consent.


    Qin Yue also comforted her, ¡°Aunt, there¡¯s no need to worry. Chen Cang is very capable, a renowned figure in Anyang, and he has saved all sorts of people!¡±


    Okay, Qin Yue was an unequivocal Chen enthusiast.


    But, at this very moment, at least her words seemed to work, giving the woman some peace of mind.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the operating room, after Chen Cang donned his surgical outfit, it seemed as though his entire aura changed.


    Shen Xiuyuan, following behind, looked at Chen Cang in disbelief. So this was actually¡­ a big boss?


    Yet such a young big boss!


    Yang Ziming was somewhat skeptical, addressing Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, this is a liver vein injury¡­¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, and without a word, nonchalantly selected the ¡°JHVI Surgery¡± training option.


    Ever since acquiring this skill, Chen Cang had never imagined it would come in handy so quickly.


    After arriving beside the operating table, both Ji Qu and Yang Ziming stepped aside, giving Chen Cang the ¡°C position¡±.


    The nurse, looking at the specialists invited by the directors, was momentarily taken aback, how could someone so young also be so handsome?


    This kind of look isn¡¯t quite right¡­ not intimidating enough for the emergency department, but¡­ still good-looking!


    Chen Cang looked at the scene inside the abdominal cavity, his eyes spotting a variety of red-named monsters.


    [Damaged Liver!]


    [Perforated Ileum!]


    ¡­


    Finally, he found the ultimate boss behind the liver: [Near-Hepatic Vein Injury Monster: lv80; Rare monster, injury to the main hepatic vein, with foreign object insertion, please carefully remove the foreign object and repair the damaged near-hepatic vein.]


    Chen Cang realized that this was the most difficult part of the surgery, with a level as high as 80. This was higher than any level of monsters Chen Cang had seen before, and to him, the entire abdominal cavity was a field full of wild monsters!


    Should he clear the lesser monsters first or go straight for the boss?


    That was the question!


    After some thought, Chen Cang decided that if he didn¡¯t remove the foreign objects near the hepatic vein now, pulling out the wooden fork later would increase the risk factor. If it burst, controlling the bleeding would be difficult.


    With that in mind, Chen Cang turned to the nurse and said, ¡°Scalpel!¡±


    Yang Zhiming, who was standing by, saw Chen Cang take the scalpel and hurriedly prepared gauze.


    Watching as Chen Cang made an incision in the thoracoabdominal area, Ji Qu quickly offered assistance.


    Yang Zhiming was momentarily stunned. Was this a thoracoabdominal combined incision? Why make an incision here?


    Without hesitation, Chen Cang proceeded after the incision, cutting through the diaphragm, peritoneum¡­ reaching deep into the inferior vena cava.


    ¡°Aspirate!¡±


    Yang Ziming nodded quickly, seeing that the inferior vena cava was already filling with blood and exudate.


    Two minutes later, Chen Cang used the forceps for blunt dissection, and instantly, the second hepatic hilum and the bare area of the liver were exposed to everyone¡¯s view!


    Yang Ziming was startled; this incision was impressive. It directly exposed the damaged area, and although it was not very clear yet, one could directly see the tear area of the large blood vessel.


    For a moment, Yang Ziming had no doubts about Chen Cang, and even Ji Qu was staring wide-eyed, clearly finding the details of Chen Cang¡¯s incision incredible, taking mental notes in his ¡®little notebook¡¯!


    What to do next?


    Everyone looked to Chen Cang, as the field of vision and lighting were not adequate for surgery.


    At that moment, Chen Cang handed over the surgical scalpel and separatory forceps he was holding to Shen Xiuyuan across from him.


    Shen Xiuyuan was momentarily startled, then quickly took them.


    Chen Cang then reached up to grasp the sterilizable control handle in the center of the surgical shadowless lamp, adjusted it slightly, and all of a sudden, the light source shifted, and with the halogen lamp¡¯s 6000K color temperature illuminating, instantly¡­


    Everyone found that they could now directly see the tear in the large blood vessel within the surgical field!


    Suddenly, Yang Ziming couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Holy shit¡­ That¡¯s freaking awesome!¡±


    Not just him, everyone in the operating room turned their attention to Chen Cang!


    Their faces expressed: Holy cow, that¡¯s badass!


    Because at that moment, apart from those four words, their minds were utterly blank!


    However, Yang Ziming realized he had misspoken and quickly said, ¡°Master Chen is amazing, the control of the light is so precise!¡±


    Ji Qu also nodded in agreement!


    But Chen Cang suddenly paused, why did that sound odd?


    He couldn¡¯t quite put his finger on the specifics.


    Chen Cang then turned to the head nurse and said, ¡°Turn on the camera, record the procedure, I¡¯ll copy the surgical video later.¡±


    Three seconds later: ¡°Master Chen, the camera is on!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded. All right, the camera was ready, and the lights were in place. It was time to showcase some real skill!

 Chapter 538 - Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Why Not This Year?

    Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Why Not This Year?


    Old He had been admitted to the ICU these past two days, and his wife couldn¡¯t take care of him, so she simply took He¡¯s bread van to head home and pack some things, planning to take care of him after he was transferred to the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department.


    All the way home, Chen Dahai¡¯s heart was on a roller coaster!


    He knew his son was capable, but he never imagined he would be this formidable!


    After just one trip home and a visit to the hospital, he had become a visiting expert professor at the JinYang City People¡¯s Hospital¡ªit really brought glory to the ancestors!


    Recalling how much Director Liu valued Cang Er, Chen felt exhilarated and content.


    He decided that after he returned today, he would go to the ancestral graves of the Chen Family tomorrow morning to see if any bluish smoke was rising¡­


    Nothing made a father prouder than seeing his son achieve great things.


    Thinking of how the high-and-mighty directors and deans respected him, Chen Dahai felt truly relieved and content.


    Having boasted in the village his whole life, Chen Dahai now felt that if one was truly impressive, who would need to boast?


    Just like today, even without saying a word, others placed him on a pedestal. Where was the need to show off?


    Thinking of this, Old Chen was truly filled with a myriad of emotions!


    ¡­


    The most grateful of all were Old He¡¯s wife and family. On the way, they couldn¡¯t stop praising Chen Cang and Qin Yue, endlessly expressing their gratitude.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    If it hadn¡¯t been for Chen Cang this time, not to mention the cost, Old He¡¯s life might not have been saved!


    These few hours had been the most agonizing of her life.


    Moreover, thinking of how Xiao Qin had waived the medical fees with a single word, that was tens of thousands of yuan¡­


    For an ordinary family, this kindness¡­ was truly as heavy as a mountain!


    Thinking it over, she decided to help out in the kitchen during the Chen Family¡¯s banquets in the future, for what else could a woman do?


    When the children come back, she would have to make sure they remember this kindness from the Chen Family!


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue had to return to Anyang today, and the train tickets were already booked, so they politely declined the hospital directors¡¯ invitation to dine.


    When Yang Jiahui at home learned that everyone was coming back, she quickly started preparing food and carefully packed up the more than ten pounds of free-range chicken eggs they had in storage. She also filled up twenty to thirty pounds of millet from their own field to take with them for Yueyue.


    The family didn¡¯t have anything valuable, but Qin Yue liked the home-grown eggs and had said that the millet porridge tasted really good.


    Yang Jiahui packed everything full, including lots of walnuts, hoping Qin Yue would take them. However, they simply couldn¡¯t carry so much.


    During the meal, Old Chen said to Chen Cang, ¡°Cang Er, you¡¯ll be running back and forth in the future, buy a car. It¡¯s inconvenient to take the bus, and you know how to drive, too. Take Yueyue home more often for visits.¡±


    Indeed, Chen Cang had become an experienced driver, having obtained his driver¡¯s license after his high school exams and driven Chen Dahai¡¯s van to JinYang for supplies during vacations.


    After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded.


    When Yang Jiahui heard Chen Dahai praising Chen Cang, she too was overjoyed, and her face beamed even more when she learned that Chen Cang had become a visiting expert at the JinYang City People¡¯s Hospital.


    However, what made her happy was that her son would now be able to come home often.


    As a mother, sometimes you don¡¯t expect your children to make grand contributions. It¡¯s enough if they¡¯re safe and well, and even better if they can often come home.


    She then said with a smile, ¡°Buy a car, get one quickly. I¡¯ll chip in some money, so you can buy a good one! Yueyue should spend more time with Chen Cang, coming back home to visit.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, as she had grown very fond of this simple and honest uncle and auntie.


    After dinner, Yang Jiahui hesitated for a moment, then took Qin Yue to the bedroom next door.


    ¡°Yueyue, please have a seat.¡±


    Yang Jiahui then went inside and took a small box down from the top of the cabinet, from which she retrieved a jade bracelet.


    It was jadeite, but as for the quality, Yang Jiahui wasn¡¯t sure; it was a gift from Chen Dahai¡¯s mother to her and could be considered a family heirloom of the Chen Family.


    Yang Jiahui had labored hard her whole life. The delicate jade bracelet was hardly worn, for fear of damaging it.


    Curious, Qin Yue waited. Before long, Yang Jiahui came back out.


    Holding the bracelet, she said to Qin Yue, ¡°Yueyue, this was given to me by Chen Cang¡¯s grandmother back then. We don¡¯t have many valuable things at home, so you wear this.¡±


    Qin Yue was stunned, suddenly speechless, a little scared, yet somewhat pleasantly surprised!


    After all, she was very clear about what this meant.


    This was to say, she had received Chen Cang¡¯s parents¡¯ approval, but¡­ such a valuable thing, she dared not accept!


    But¡­ deep down she also wanted to accept it because¡­ if she did, it would mean she was the approved daughter-in-law.


    ¡°Aunty¡­ this is too valuable¡­¡±


    Yang Jiahui smiled, ¡°What¡¯s too valuable or not, I can tell you¡¯re a good girl. In the future, if Chen Cang makes you feel wronged, call me, and I¡¯ll scold him for you!¡±


    Qin Yue felt so touched that tears blurred her eyes for a moment.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When leaving the house, Chen Cang was carrying big and small bags full of stuff, and Chen Dahai drove them to the station. Watching the car go far, he then left with a smile on his lips.


    His son had grown up and made something of himself!


    On the bus, there weren¡¯t many people, and the seats were sparsely occupied.


    Qin Yue leaned against Chen Cang, holding his hand, and suddenly said, ¡°Chen Cang, let¡¯s get married sooner.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, immediately turning to look at Qin Yue, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Qin Yue muttered softly, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re too outstanding¡­ one day you might not want me anymore¡­¡±


    Chen Cang burst into laughter at once, grasping Qin Yue¡¯s hand more tightly, and with his other hand, he pinched her nose and said with a smile, ¡°That won¡¯t happen, you¡¯re my Qin Xiaotian, how can I manage without you!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue became flustered and annoyed, ¡°Give me your phone! Haven¡¯t you changed it yet?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, ¡°It¡¯s quite fitting, isn¡¯t it? It would be bad to change it.¡±


    Qin Yue turned to glare at Chen Cang and said, ¡°If you ever don¡¯t want me, or if you find a mistress or something, I¡¯ll go to your parents, and they¡¯ll stand up for me!¡±


    As she spoke, Qin Yue revealed her bracelet, ¡°See this? It¡¯s as authoritative as a royal command! Aunty said, when you see this jade bracelet, it¡¯s as if you¡¯re seeing her in person!¡±


    ¡°So, be good!¡± Qin Yue said, patting Chen Cang¡¯s hair with her hand.


    Chen Cang was immediately dumbfounded, ¡°My mom gave this to you?¡±


    Qin Yue raised her eyebrows, saying with a cheeky grin, ¡°Yeah, Uncle and Aunty really like me!¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, ¡°Sigh¡­ my grandmother gave it to my mom, and she¡¯s never been willing to wear it her whole life.¡±


    Hearing this, Qin Yue¡¯s mind raced, thinking about buying a bracelet for Aunty¡ªa gold bracelet!


    Yes!


    A gold bracelet is durable!


    Aunty would definitely like it.


    Qin Yue looked out of the window.


    After a long while.


    Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang, ¡°I will be good to your dad and mom!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, looking at Qin Yue, ¡°Hmm.¡±


    After a while, Chen Cang said, ¡°Let¡¯s get married next year, okay?¡±


    Qin Yue was puzzled, ¡°Why not this year?¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded, ¡°¡­¡±

 Chapter 539 - Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Little Tricks to Alleviate Pain

    Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Little Tricks to Alleviate Pain


    After Chen Cang left, Ji Qu busied himself before suddenly remembering to return a call to Director He Tong.


    Right after the call connected, Ji Qu said with a laugh, ¡°Director He, the surgery was very successful. Dr. Chen really is amazing!¡±


    Hearing this, He Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°As long as everything is okay!¡±


    Ji Qu couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Director He, is Dr. Chen really that incredible? Although I don¡¯t know much about near hepatic vein injury, the hepatobiliary surgery, liver repair, vascular suturing, intestinal anastomosis¡­ This one surgery covers so many types. Dr. Chen is so young, yet he¡¯s so proficient in both hepatobiliary and general surgery!¡±


    He Tong sighed, Just this and you¡¯re already amazed?


    ¡°Director Ji, perhaps¡­ you¡¯re not very familiar with Chen Cang.¡±


    Ji Qu nodded, ¡°Oh? Does Dr. Chen have other skills?¡±


    He Tong hummed, ¡°Chen Cang¡¯s specialty is cardiac surgery, and he¡¯s quite proficient in thoracic surgery. He¡¯s a member of the National Association of Hand Surgery.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ji Qu suddenly froze¡­


    What¡­ did I just hear?


    Is this even possible for one person?


    Ji Qu had a hard time accepting this; after all¡­ such a masterful surgery, and it isn¡¯t even what Chen Cang is best at!


    What he¡¯s actually best at is cardiac and thoracic surgery¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    He Tong, seeing silence on the other end of the line, was quite satisfied¡­ Mhm, this kind of shock is always good to share, since it lightens the burden of pain¡­


    How does that saying go?


    If you share your joy, it multiplies among many people!


    If you share your pain, it eases your own¡­


    He Tong himself was also affected by Qian Liang; otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have known that Chen Cang could perform so many types of surgeries besides hepatobiliary surgery!


    But¡­ not knowing was bliss; since finding out, He Tong had been rather melancholic recently. Why is there such a huge gap between people?


    However¡­ now that it¡¯s better, sharing his pain with others, his mood indeed improved greatly.


    He Tong said with a smile, ¡°Well, Director Ji, please send me a copy of that surgery video.¡±


    Ji Qu, feeling depressed, nodded, ¡°Alright!¡±


    After hanging up, Ji Qu sat there, tossing and turning in his thoughts, a cloud seeming to linger over his mind. Thinking it over, he decided to call Yang Ziming, the director of hepatobiliary surgery. After the call, his mood indeed lightened a bit!


    Following that, he sequentially called Qi Xiao from general surgery, the director of cardiac surgery, the director of hand surgery, and Director Liu. After making all the calls, his spirits were greatly lifted!


    Ah¡­ having more friends really is great. Sharing pain indeed brings relief!


    With that thought, he decided to celebrate with a bottle of red wine with his wife that evening!


    That night, several department heads at JinYang City People¡¯s Hospital lay in bed unable to sleep, wallowing in gloom, completely listless¡­ Ah, what do I do when life feels like a cheat?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After He Tong got hold of the surgery video, he was a bit excited!


    After all, any excellent surgery video is a rare surgical record and a valuable resource for learning.


    These materials are precious archives!


    Some surgeons also have the habit of collecting surgical video records, and they carefully copy and store away those rare surgery videos.


    He Tong brewed himself a cup of tea, closed the door to his study, and with a serious attitude for learning and appreciation, he began to watch the surgery video.


    The screen changed, and soon the patient¡¯s condition appeared.


    He Tong immediately furrowed his brow. It really was critical¡­


    Then, the surgery proceeded in a tense, orderly fashion¡­ minute by minute time slipped away¡­


    And it didn¡¯t take long for He Tong to finish watching.


    However, after finishing, He Tong was not excited¡­ instead, he felt a sense of loss!


    It was as if the long-awaited suspenseful, brain-burning film had finally been released, and with great anticipation, as the story begins, you¡¯re outright told the ending!


    No challenge at all!


    It was that¡­ simple? Just make an incision, clamp with forceps, and sew it up?


    Injury to the hepatic vein isn¡¯t that big of a deal, huh¡­


    But why are there such mysterious rumors about it?


    He Tong felt that he should be able to do it too!


    Could there be some hidden secret behind it?


    With this thought¡­ He Tong directly contacted big names in the field of hepatobiliary surgery, Qian Liang and Wang Shou, and sent them the surgical video.


    Qian Liang was about to go to sleep, but when he heard it was a video of hepatic vein injury repair surgery, he got up and started watching it on his computer.


    After watching, Qian Liang couldn¡¯t sleep¡­


    He watched the short five-minute surgical video over twenty times!


    This isn¡¯t an exaggeration at all!


    Why choose to make an incision there, was that¡­ adjusting the lighting just now? Is such a maneuver even possible!


    The surgery seemed to have only four steps, but Qian Liang couldn¡¯t even get past the first one!


    He frowned deeply, repeatedly watching back and forth, trying to understand why to make an incision there.


    But after a long while, he couldn¡¯t figure it out!


    Until the phone rang: ¡°Hello? Director Qian, have you finished watching?¡±


    When Qian Liang heard He Tong¡¯s words, he sighed deeply, ¡°Ah¡­ I¡¯ve finished watching.¡±


    He Tong asked thoughtfully, ¡°Director Qian, why do I¡­ feel that the surgery seems very simple, just ordinary cutting and suturing¡­¡±


    Qian Liang was taken aback, shook his head, and didn¡¯t answer his question but instead asked, ¡°Old He, who performed this surgery?


    This¡­ the skill level is too high, I don¡¯t understand it!¡±


    With one sentence, he left He Tong dumbfounded!


    Qian Liang said he didn¡¯t understand!


    How is that possible?


    Qian Liang is an authority in hepatobiliary surgery in Dongyang Province!


    If he says he doesn¡¯t understand, could anyone else?


    He Tong directly said, ¡°This surgery was performed by Chen Cang, today at Jinyang City People¡¯s Hospital¡­ Chen Cang just happened to be¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but pause for a moment.


    Who?


    Chen Cang!


    Why is it Chen Cang again!


    It was Chen Cang¡¯s surgery!


    Chen Cang could actually perform¡­ hepatic vein injury repair surgery?


    And¡­ performed it even better than him, and he couldn¡¯t understand it, making Qian Liang¡¯s face flush with embarrassment!


    No, even if I can¡¯t perform it, I should at least understand it, right?


    ¡°Old He, I won¡¯t talk to you anymore, I¡¯m going to study it a bit more.¡±


    After saying this, Qian Liang hung up the phone.


    He Tong was stunned¡­


    This old Qian¡­ he hasn¡¯t been traumatized, has he?


    With that thought, He Tong sighed, It really wasn¡¯t intentional¡­


    Thinking this, He Tong suddenly remembered Wang Shou.


    He Tong then called Wang Shou.


    After watching the surgical video, Wang Shou was first startled, then carefully watched it several times over. Is this¡­ pieced together?


    He didn¡¯t understand it either, but¡­ it just didn¡¯t seem logical to him, no matter how he looked at it he couldn¡¯t figure it out.


    Just as He Tong¡¯s call came through, Wang Shou asked directly, ¡°Old He, is this video fake, I always feel something¡¯s off about this surgery, could it be pieced together¡­¡±


    He Tong sighed, realizing, This guy didn¡¯t understand it either!

 Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Sleepless Tonight Ah...

    Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Sleepless Tonight Ah¡­


    He Tong saw that Wang Shou had already started to deny the video and directly said, ¡°Director Wang, there¡¯s no issue with this surgery video, it¡¯s from the Chief Physician of JinYang City People¡¯s Hospital!¡±


    Only then did he explain that this was the surgery performed in JinYang City today.


    No sooner had he spoken than Wang Shou became agitated!


    How many times had that group invited him to perform surgeries?


    But they wouldn¡¯t even provide a video, how stingy!


    However, Wang Shou eventually calmed down, staring at the video on the computer, deep in thought¡­ Maybe this surgery wasn¡¯t spliced together?


    But¡­ why couldn¡¯t he understand it?


    This shouldn¡¯t be happening, right?


    ¡°I feel¡­ this doesn¡¯t quite look like a normal surgery, how could they possibly make an incision here¡­ then adjust the light source, this idea¡­ it¡¯s like it¡¯s by design, which makes it seem less realistic.¡±


    ¡°How could a near-hepatic vein injury surgery be this simple!?¡±


    ¡°In any case, I feel there¡¯s something off about this surgery video!¡±


    Wang Shou¡¯s brow furrowed tightly, he couldn¡¯t fathom the surgery, and unlike He Tong and Yang Ziming, he was well-versed in the field, especially regarding near-hepatic vein injury surgeries.


    Because of this knowledge, he wouldn¡¯t consider the surgery to be simple at all!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã?


    On the contrary, he dared to question it, suspecting that there were issues with the decision to make an incision.


    Seeing this, He Tong couldn¡¯t help but sigh. It seemed Wang Shou was even worse than Qian Liang!


    Thinking this, He Tong felt it would be better for the three of them to discuss the matter over a video call.


    He promptly pulled them into a WeChat group and started a video conversation.


    Wang Shou saw Qian Liang was also there, exchanged pleasantries, and Qian Liang nodded his head. Even if the two weren¡¯t on good terms, pleasantries were still necessary.


    Their relationship was quite ordinary. Back when Wang Shou was at DongDa First Hospital, he competed and failed to become the director against Qian Liang, which led him to DongDa Second Hospital. After another five years, when the old director retired and Wang Shou turned fifty, he finally became the director of the Second Hospital.


    He Tong directly said, ¡°Director Qian, Director Wang suspects that the surgery may have been edited post-production and has issues with the incision!¡±


    Wang Shou nodded, ¡°Yes, the incision in this surgery is too peculiar, I can¡¯t understand it at all, and it even gives me a sense of bewilderment. At the beginning of the surgery, the surgeon makes a judgment in less than a minute, instantly chooses where to cut, then adjusts the light source to proceed with the surgery. It¡¯s too¡­ too fake!¡±


    Qian Liang was startled; he had the utmost admiration for this surgery, yet this fellow was calling it fake. He couldn¡¯t help but snort coldly, ¡°What do you know! The technique used in this surgery is far above yours; it¡¯s normal for you not to understand!¡±


    Hearing Qian Liang say this, Wang Shou also got annoyed, ¡°Qian Liang, don¡¯t go too far! If you say I can¡¯t understand, then you explain why they made the incision here!¡±


    Qian Liang scoffed, what the hell do I know? If I knew, would I be discussing this with you?


    Qian Liang, ¡°I won¡¯t tell you!¡±


    Wang Shou immediately became angry, ¡°That¡¯s because you don¡¯t know!¡±


    Qian Liang, ¡°If you know, then you explain!¡±


    Wang Shou was at a loss for words¡­


    It was then that He Tong slapped his forehead, how could he forget that these two were rivals, and quickly interjected, ¡°Alright, alright, we¡¯re here to discuss the case, not to argue.¡±


    Qian Liang sighed, ¡°Director He, the key highlight of this surgery may lie in the choice of surgical incision!¡±


    Wang Shou shook his head, ¡°Director He, who performed this surgery?¡±


    He Tong said, ¡°It¡¯s Doctor Chen Cang from the emergency department of Provincial Hospital No. 2.¡±


    Wang Shou was taken aback for a moment. How had he never heard this name? He quickly opened a web browser, searched for the emergency department of Provincial Hospital No. 2, and Chen Cang¡¯s profile appeared¡­


    This¡­ he¡¯s only 27 years old, so young, are you kidding me?


    Wang Shou couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Director He, you¡¯re not joking, right? This Chen Cang is only 27 years old.¡±


    He Tong couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You can¡¯t judge young Chen by his age, in the field of emergency surgery, his ability is formidable! Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been assigned to perform that surgery.¡±


    Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but interject, ¡°Wang Shou, oh Wang Shou, can¡¯t you take a closer look? See this surgery, isn¡¯t every part of it stronger than yours? Look at the time, he completed the repair of the near-hepatic vein injury in less than 5 minutes, scrutinize the entire liver repair operation, how is it inferior to yours!¡±


    ¡°Look at the choice of surgical incision, the difficulty of selecting an incision for a near-hepatic vein surgery is already high, it¡¯s the essence of the surgery. Although I don¡¯t know why the incision was made here, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s an inspiration for surgery?¡±


    ¡°A thoracoabdominal combined incision, cutting through the diaphragm from the chest to repair the liver is an innovation in surgical technique in its own right. You say it¡¯s video editing, perhaps you¡¯ve become too complacent after a few years as director!¡±


    Wang Shou, upon hearing Qian Liang speak of him in such a manner, couldn¡¯t help but blush, but after thinking it over carefully, he felt a sense of epiphany¡­


    Right!


    Upon hearing this, He Tong suddenly felt there might be something to it!


    Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Director He, just bring Chen Cang into the discussion and let him explain, this will educate Director Wang!¡±


    He Tong was suddenly struck by the thought, right!


    ¡°Just invite Chen directly in to explain it; is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?¡±


    However, to be honest, it¡¯s quite joyful for a group of surgeons to discuss surgical videos, and they often do so.


    Chen Cang had just gotten home when he received a call from He Tong, who wanted him to join a WeChat group to explain the surgical video.


    Chen Cang hesitated for a moment, then agreed.


    He opened WeChat on his phone and turned on the camera, immediately seeing Qian Liang and a stranger.


    After He Tong introduced them, Chen Cang greeted them and also had an impression of Wang Shou.


    Seeing Chen Cang really so young, Wang Shou couldn¡¯t help shaking his head, but this time he didn¡¯t say much more.


    Qian Liang said, ¡°Chen, your choice of a thoracoabdominal incision to enter the liver and repair the hepatic veins near the liver is really quite inventive! But¡­ what I don¡¯t quite understand is why¡­¡±


    Upon seeing this, Chen Cang began to explain, ¡°It¡¯s like this, it¡¯s actually just a simple choice of perspective. You see here¡­ the choice of surgical field¡­¡±


    After Chen Cang explained, Qian Liang suddenly had an epiphany!


    Qian Liang, seeing Wang Shou still furrowing his brows, couldn¡¯t help but laugh and said, ¡°Director Wang, didn¡¯t you say the video was spliced together? Haha! Now the surgeon himself is here, don¡¯t you want to ask him in detail?


    Oh¡­ Did you not understand? No worries, let Teacher Chen explain it to you properly! Listen a few more times and you¡¯ll get it!¡±


    Wang Shou snorted coldly, ¡°Nothing much!¡±


    Then he left the group directly!


    After leaving, Wang Shou stared at the computer video, trying hard to recall Chen Cang¡¯s explanation, but¡­ it seemed like he really didn¡¯t understand!


    However, the thought of Qian Liang¡¯s mockery and sarcasm made Wang Shou so angry he couldn¡¯t take it!


    Sigh¡­


    What to do if I don¡¯t understand?


    I¡¯m so tired!


    Should I go back?


    But I¡¯ve already left the group¡­


    So tiring!


    Forget it, I¡¯ll ask He Tong tomorrow¡­


    But could this young man really be that amazing?


    Although reluctant to admit it, Wang Shou couldn¡¯t help but marvel, he really was impressive!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After Wang Shou left the group, He Tong laughed awkwardly and said, ¡°Chen, I didn¡¯t understand either, speak slowly, let me take some notes, your idea is really good!¡±


    Qian Liang also nodded deeply; if he hadn¡¯t thought it over so long and had a solid foundation in hepato-biliary surgery, he wouldn¡¯t have understood and grasped it so quickly.


    Qian Liang sighed, ¡°Indeed, this approach and idea are very good!¡±


    Continuing, Qian Liang¡¯s face turned red, ¡°Explain it again, will you? Even though I understand it, I¡¯m still not clear on it.¡±


    Well, luckily the lighting was dim, and the beautification effect of WeChat¡¯s video call was decent enough that his blushing wasn¡¯t noticeable!


    Chen Cang smiled and began to explain.


    After a full hour, Qian Liang left with a wealth of knowledge!


    He Tong¡¯s harvest was even more fruitful; his head was almost exploding from the overload of information, and he couldn¡¯t process it right away. He decided to look at it again tomorrow.


    Meanwhile, Wang Shou was grinding his teeth, having watched the video over a hundred times, still¡­ catching only a vague sense of it!


    But now, the more he watched, the more he realized the brilliance of Chen Cang¡¯s technique.


    Sigh¡­


    Sleepless night ahead!

 Chapter 541 - Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Lets Meet the Families!

    Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Let¡¯s Meet the Families!


    Qin Yue stood at the door, looking at the huge pile of items, tens of pounds of eggs, twenty or thirty pounds of millet, and a miscellaneous assortment of things that Chen Cang¡¯s mother had brought back.


    Her face beamed with a sense of accomplishment!


    Old Qin, oh Old Qin, look how much you benefit from following me!


    When we left, I took two pounds of liquor from you, but look how much stuff I¡¯ve brought back, how worth it!


    Thinking about this, Qin Yue felt it was particularly worth it.


    Thinking¡­ she would go back again in a few days!


    Chen Cang¡¯s mother said that she¡¯s going to raise a few more hens so next time she can stew one for Qin Yue to nourish her body, and Qin Yue should bring a chicken for dad next time! After all, it does feel a bit embarrassing to always take dad¡¯s liquor.


    Qin Yue knocked on the door: ¡°Dad, Mom, open the door.¡±


    Ji Ruyun and Old Qin were sitting at home chatting.


    Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, ¡°Wife, it¡¯s really boring when Yueyue isn¡¯t home, just the two of us!¡±


    Ji Ruyun was holding her phone, having just finished reading an article titled ¡°How a Mother-in-law Should Treat a Son-in-law,¡± and upon hearing Old Qin say this, she immediately rolled her eyes: ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say a few days ago that this cotton-padded coat full of black-hearted holes couldn¡¯t be worn anymore?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan laughed: ¡°Wasn¡¯t I just joking? My own daughter, not to mention two bottles of liquor, even if she takes everything, it¡¯s no problem, maybe it¡¯s just the right time to quit drinking!¡±


    Ji Ruyun snorted coldly, ¡°Really?¡±

    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded earnestly, ¡°Could this be false?¡±


    At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and hearing Qin Yue¡¯s voice, Old Qin suddenly lit up with joy: ¡°My daughter is back, I¡¯ll go open the door!¡±


    Having said that, he hurriedly got up, even putting his slippers on the wrong feet, and ran toward the door.


    After opening the door and seeing Qin Yue, Old Qin felt his mood lift entirely: ¡°You¡¯re back, Yueyue! Wow, what¡¯s with all this stuff?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Help me bring it in. I¡¯ll carry this myself, you take the stuff behind.¡±


    Seeing the situation, Ji Ruyun also hurriedly put down her phone and came over.


    She curiously looked at Qin Yue, who carried a large amount of stuff in big and small packages: ¡°Yueyue, what¡¯s all this? Why so much!¡±


    After Old Qin helped to move the stuff into the house, Qin Yue said with a smile, ¡°These are things Chen Cang¡¯s mother gave me. These are eggs from their home-raised chickens, really fragrant, the tastiest eggs I¡¯ve ever eaten¡­ This is millet, their millet is a completely different flavor from ours when made into porridge¡­ This is¡­¡±


    Old Qin and Ji Ruyun listened to Qin Yue as she enthusiastically detailed all the items she had brought back, feeling a sense of inexplicable amusement¡­


    Qin Yue said cheerfully, ¡°Mom, this honey, it¡¯s from the villagers in their village who raise their own bees, I brought it especially for you.¡±


    ¡°Try these eggs tomorrow morning, they¡¯re particularly tasty.¡±


    Old Qin coughed and said, ¡°Yueyue, why did you bring back so much stuff? It¡¯s not right¡­¡±


    Qin Yue sighed, ¡°Chen Cang¡¯s mother insisted that I take it. It was hard to refuse such hospitality, and I also wanted you to try it, so I brought it back. I¡¯ll just treat her better in the future!¡±


    Ji Ruyun smiled, finding Chen Cang¡¯s family to be quite warmhearted indeed.


    Qin Yue looked at her father with a mischievous grin: ¡°Dad, don¡¯t you feel like we¡¯re returning loaded with goods!¡±


    ¡°Look at all the stuff I¡¯ve brought back.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan smiled, ¡°So you¡¯ve been bought off, you rascal.¡±


    Qin Yue smirked proudly, ¡°Exactly! Look, two bottles of wine for all this stuff, enough for the three of us to eat and use, how economical! What¡¯s the use of wine? Mom won¡¯t let you drink anyway, it¡¯s no use just sitting there, right?¡±


    Ji Ruyun chuckled as well, ¡°Mmm, makes sense!¡±


    When Old Qin heard that, silence would have been better; his heart was still aching¡­


    It¡¯s just¡­why did he suddenly feel that something was off upon hearing Qin Yue say that?


    Qin Yue clapped her hands and said with a laugh, ¡°I¡¯ve made up my mind. Once Chen Cang buys a car, when we go over there in the future, I¡¯ll bring more wine for Chen Cang¡¯s dad. Right, next time I¡¯ll bring you some game, that hare, it¡¯s really delicious. During the New Year¡¯s, Chen Cang¡¯s dad said he would make more tasty dishes to send to our family.¡±


    As expected!


    Old Qin was so frightened he almost developed Parkinson¡¯s.


    This girl, she really is too much!


    Seeing the black-hearted cotton about to be wrapped around someone else, Old Qin¡¯s face changed, and he hurriedly stopped her, ¡°You girl, my wine is my treasure, how can that be the same? You think you can take my wine with these little things! Buying a car and taking a whole box of it? No way¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue immediately retorted, looking at her mother, ¡°Mom, look at Dad, he won¡¯t let us eat good food for the sake of his wine.¡±


    Ji Ruyun couldn¡¯t help but laugh out of frustration!


    Looking at these two, they can¡¯t agree when they¡¯re apart, but when they¡¯re together, they start to bicker¡­


    ¡°Old Qin, didn¡¯t you just say you missed your girl? Don¡¯t you miss her now?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan blew his nose and glared, ¡°This girl has almost forgotten her own surname. It¡¯s not just her elbow being turned outwards, she¡¯s completely turning everything outward.¡±


    That one sentence made both Qin Yue and Ji Ruyun burst into laughter.


    Qin Yue showed off the bracelet on her wrist with a giggly smile, ¡°Mom and Dad, look, this was given to me by Chen Cang¡¯s mom.¡±


    Ji Ruyun and Old Qin were taken aback for a moment, and their eyes widened when they saw the bracelet.


    This bracelet¡­ is of good quality!


    Old Qin¡¯s mood shifted in an instant.


    This jade bracelet was incredibly translucent, and clearly, it had a luster that took several generations to develop, full of charm!


    This thing¡­ isn¡¯t something to be sold for money; it¡¯s an heirloom!


    At this thought, Old Qin¡¯s face suddenly turned dark, ¡°Yueyue, take it off! Put it away, the next time we go back, you must return it to Chen Cang¡¯s mom!¡±


    This time, Ji Ruyun didn¡¯t side with Qin Yue either and nodded in agreement, ¡°Hmm, this is too valuable. It¡¯s their family heirloom, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    After hearing this, Qin Yue quickly said, ¡°This is the family heirloom Chen Cang¡¯s mom gave me. She said it was given to her by Chen Cang¡¯s grandmother, and now it¡¯s been handed over to me.¡±


    Old Qin quickly spoke up, ¡°That¡¯s not acceptable either. This is too valuable. It should only be given at the time of marriage!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but shake her head. In her heart, it wasn¡¯t about the item¡¯s value, but the significance it represented; even a one-dollar plastic bracelet would do. With that thought, Qin Yue directly stated, ¡°No, this is Chen Cang¡¯s mom¡¯s recognition of me. Chen Cang saw it too, and he told me to take good care of it.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, Chen Cang and I are not joking around. We are getting married. I won¡¯t return it. I¡¯ve decided, I want to give auntie a bracelet too.¡±


    After saying that, Qin Yue got up and went back to her room. She took off the bracelet, stored it properly, and put it away.


    This item was just as meaningful to her, as one day she would also pass it on to her own child.


    In plain terms, it was an agreement between her and Chen Cang¡¯s mom.


    Old Qin and Ji Ruyun exchanged a look, unable to suppress a sigh.


    After a while, Old Qin said, ¡°Let¡¯s find a time for both families to meet.¡±


    Ji Ruyun nodded her head; it was indeed time for them to meet.

 Chapter 542 - Chapter 542: Chapter 542: The Brother-Supporting Demon

    Chapter 542: Chapter 542: The Brother-Supporting Demon


    Wang Shou really didn¡¯t sleep well that night!


    Tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, after all, the repair of the near-liver vein injury was too enticing for him.


    But that¡¯s how it is with people, the more annoyed you are, the more things pile up.


    After ten o¡¯clock, his wife suddenly came over and said to Wang Shou, ¡°Old Wang, my brother¡¯s construction payment hasn¡¯t come through these past few days, and he¡¯s still short of 200,000.¡±


    Hearing his wife say this, Wang Shou was really annoyed!


    This brother-in-law is just useless, constantly coming to him for money, one day it¡¯s construction payments, the next day it¡¯s wanting to meet some official, and the day after that it¡¯s this¡­


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it tomorrow, I have things to deal with,¡± Wang Shou said directly.


    Upon hearing this, his wife¡¯s expression changed dramatically, ¡°What do you mean? You won¡¯t give it?¡±


    Seeing his wife react like this, Wang Shou felt helpless immediately, ¡°I really have things to deal with right now, can¡¯t we talk about this tomorrow?¡±


    Instead of calming down, his wife said, ¡°Wang Shou, think about it, when you first started working, who took care of us? How can you be so ungrateful?¡±


    Wang Shou was already in a bad mood and hearing his wife say this, he slapped the table immediately, ¡°When we first got married, sure, he helped us, but don¡¯t you have any idea of what I¡¯ve done for him?¡±


    ¡°Over the years, how much has he borrowed from me? If not a million, then surely seven or eight hundred thousand, right? Every time he borrows, has there been a single time he repaid?¡±


    ¡°To help him with his damn troubles, I, a director, acted like a servile grandson, pulling strings for him, finding how many people? Giving how many gifts, what has he said?¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you, I don¡¯t owe him anything!¡±


    His wife was clearly a typical ¡°brother-pampering demon¡±. When they first got married, the salary of a doctor wasn¡¯t very high, his wife was pregnant and not working, and his brother-in-law had given some help for a while.


    But later on, it got worse and worse. Not to mention other things, but all the good cigarettes, good liquor from their own house were eagerly given to the brother-in-law while his own brother came and left without any, unwilling to share!


    That¡¯s not important, but over the years, how much money has this brother-in-law borrowed?


    Thirty or twenty thousand doesn¡¯t even count as money to him anymore; today it¡¯s for renovation costs, tomorrow for material costs, the day after for workers¡¯ wages, the day after that for construction payments¡­


    I¡¯ve handled hundreds of thousands for him, and I don¡¯t even know how much my wife has given him secretly!


    Do you really think this brother-in-law is in the construction business?


    Relying on my reputation, running a shell company, he claims to be doing construction every day, when in reality, he¡¯s off gambling.


    Yang Wanxiu, hearing that Wang Shou was clearly angry, spoke no more.


    But her parents called, begging, saying the debt collectors were at the door and ready to resort to violence without payment. She was at a loss.


    ¡°Husband¡­ just help him this once. The debt collectors have already come to our door, my parents have already cried about it; please just help him!¡±


    Wang Shou scoffed. How many times had he seen this routine?


    ¡°Wife, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help, it¡¯s that I can¡¯t. Where does he really need construction funding? Don¡¯t you know the truth? This is just gambling debt! No matter how capable I, Wang Shou, am, I can¡¯t help a gambler, can I?¡±


    ¡°Moreover, let¡¯s drop this matter. In the future, don¡¯t let your brother step foot in our house. If you give him money again, or our household items, let¡¯s get a divorce!¡±


    ¡°Also, don¡¯t call our son. Ask yourself, what kind of mother are you? Your brother is already in his forties, a grown man. Are we even a family anymore? Haven¡¯t you noticed how much money I¡¯ve saved over the years? Where do you think it has all gone, don¡¯t you have any idea?¡±


    That one sentence took Yang Wanxiu completely by surprise.


    Having said his piece, Wang Shou no longer felt like performing surgeries and went to rest in his son¡¯s room next door.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    A wordless night passed, and the next morning, Wang Shou got up for work without having breakfast.


    Yang Wanxiu spent the whole night receiving dozens of calls, all from her parents and brother, just as Wang Shou said. Over the years, taking advantage of the help they had provided in the past, they intensified their demands. This time, no matter how much her parents cried, she had no way to help them.


    Now they dare not call Wang Shou, so they could only resort to asking Yang Wanxiu for help.


    ¡°`


    Around ten o¡¯clock in the morning, Wang Shou suddenly saw a call from his wife, and he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. After all, they were husband and wife. Angry as one might be, could they really get a divorce?


    He had been bothered by her family too, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have asked for such a high specialist fee. People are forced by life¡¯s circumstances.


    As soon as he answered the phone, Wang Shou heard his wife crying heart-wrenchingly:


    ¡°Husband, something terrible happened, Yuanzhong has been stabbed by debt collectors! He¡¯s continuously bleeding in the abdomen right now!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Shou¡¯s face turned pale, ¡°You¡¯ve been stabbed and you call 120 and 110, what are you doing calling me!¡±


    Yang Wanxiu couldn¡¯t stop crying, ¡°I¡­ I already called, the ambulance is on its way to the Second Hospital now¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Wang Shou immediately hung up the phone and rushed to the emergency department.


    The director of the emergency department had already received a call from the 120 emergency center and started preparing right away!


    About five minutes later, the ambulance stopped.


    Hastily organizing the rescue effort, the patient was bleeding profusely from the abdomen, his face deathly pale. Even abdominal compression to stop the bleeding seemed utterly ineffective!


    The accompanying doctor said with a grave expression, ¡°Severe abdominal bleeding, blood pressure only at 70/40mmHg! The patient went into shock a minute ago!¡±


    Wang Shou quickly said:


    ¡°Prepare blood!¡±


    ¡°Rehydrate!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Also, get ready for blood work and surgery immediately!¡±


    Patients with such urgent abdominal trauma and significant bleeding are honestly very dangerous and could be life-threatening at any moment.


    After the preparations, Wang Shou and the head of the emergency department personally got ready for surgery.


    Once in the operating room and opening up the abdomen, they saw Yang Yuanzhong¡¯s liver had been pierced by a knife, and even the surrounding blood vessels were severely damaged.


    The most fatal thing was that the knife was still stuck inside the abdomen, having penetrated into the hepatic vein!


    Fucking near the hepatic vein, too!


    Seeing this, Wang Shou nearly lost his mind!


    This¡­ he didn¡¯t dare guarantee the success rate of the surgery.


    At this moment, the head of the emergency department at the Second Hospital, Xu Zeng, also had a stern look, ¡°Director Wang¡­ the surgery is risky, have the family sign a critical condition notice, we can¡¯t guarantee anything either!¡±


    Sometimes Wang Shou thought, it would be alright if this bastard died!


    But thinking of his wife¡¯s situation, he gritted his teeth and picked up the phone to call He Tong.


    ¡°Director He, I need a favor, could you give me Chen Cang¡¯s number, please?¡±


    ¡­


    After a few days off, Chen Cang returned to work, and Wang Kai¡¯an and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Team Leader Chen, if you hadn¡¯t come back, we might really have been done for here.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, you have no idea how exhausted we¡¯ve been these past few days!¡±


    Wang Kai¡¯an smiled, ¡°Fortunately, nothing happened.¡±


    ¡°Right, we¡¯ve been on tenterhooks every day, scared that a critical patient might come in.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°You all have worked hard.¡±


    Just then, the phone suddenly rang!


    ¡°`

 Chapter 546 - Chapter 546: Chapter 546: A Complete Collection of Surgical Idioms (Two in One)

    Chapter 546: Chapter 546: A Complete Collection of Surgical Idioms (Two in One)


    By the time he returned to the hospital, it was already noon. Wang Shou wanted to have Chen Cang stay for a meal, but Chen Cang declined.


    Wang Shou was currently overwhelmed with issues, and Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to trouble him further.


    Instead, he simply said, ¡°Director Wang, please come and visit the Provincial Second Hospital sometime.¡±


    After saying that, he stood up and left.


    Wang Shou nodded in relief, appreciating the doctor¡¯s kindness, ¡°Thank you for your trouble, Dr. Chen, for making this trip for nothing.¡±


    Chen Cang waved his hand and nodded before leaving.


    This time, the matter had indeed gotten quite serious.


    However, there were many witnesses on the scene, and there were surveillance cameras inside and outside the operating room that recorded the procedure, so gathering evidence was relatively simple.


    What was troublesome was the family dispute involving Wang Shou.


    The hospital took a firm and steady stance this time, assuring Wang Shou that no matter how the situation was handled, it would not affect him in any way. The hospital supported Wang Shou¡¯s actions, regardless of political or moral stance!


    Qian Liang didn¡¯t leave; he stayed to support Wang Shou as well.


    Colleagues for several decades, working in the same department for over ten years, the two were competitors, yes, but also colleagues.


    Wang Shou hadn¡¯t expected Qian Liang to be the one to stay and help him and was somewhat surprised.

    ¡­


    After eating at Liu Mama¡¯s Restaurant in front of the Provincial Second Hospital, Chen Cang went straight back to the emergency department¡¯s duty room. Too lazy to go home, he lay on the bed, lost in thought.


    After a while, Chen Cang sighed deeply.


    As a doctor, one really needs to manage their emotions and not be swayed by patients or all sorts of incidents.


    Chen Cang shook his head, deciding not to think about these things anymore.


    He casually opened the reward he received after completing the surgery yesterday at Jinyang City People¡¯s Hospital.


    Ding! Successful treatment completed, successfully repaired the injured hepatic vein near the liver, sutured the liver injury¡­ Comprehensive assessment, reward obtained: 1. Level +1; 2. Aortic Coarctation Surgery Skill Book; 3. Stamina Potion +2; 4. Lucky Bag.


    Seeing the system prompt, Chen Cang felt a burst of happiness.


    The harvest was quite rich!


    However¡­ isn¡¯t the Aortic Coarctation Surgery a level four operation?


    Aortic Coarctation Surgery, Master level, learning requirement: Level above 40 or Cardiothoracic Surgery professional score over 50, requirements not yet met.


    Chen Cang shrugged; he had expected as much.


    But, he was getting closer. The surgery reward bumped him up a level directly, truly befitting the rare creature of level 80. The thrill of defeating something beyond his level was exhilarating, bringing him straight to level 36.


    Upon opening the lucky bag, Chen Cang once again gained +2 skill points.


    All in all, yesterday¡¯s surgery was highly rewarding!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The entire afternoon was hectic at the emergency center, with two patients needing urgent surgery sent in, both from car accidents. Chen Cang, leading his team, immediately began the rescue operations.


    Unfortunately, the first patient had already suffered massive hemorrhaging and shock on the way to the hospital and was gone before they could even begin treatment.


    That¡¯s how it is in emergency medicine; before you even have time to react, another patient is rushed in urgently.


    The whole afternoon, the team of five was so tightly wound up that there was no chance for any rest.


    Perhaps He Tong had realized the importance of Chen Cang, for every time before sending over a patient, he would first inquire at the nurses¡¯ station if Chen Cang was present. If he was, some patients would be brought over.


    If not, they would naturally be taken to other hospitals.


    Such targeted training resulted in great progress for Chen Cang!


    He became increasingly proficient in understanding and performing surgeries on the heart and major blood vessels.


    In about a week¡¯s time, he completed more than thirty major surgeries, improving every day. This high-intensity emergency work was iron-blooded training for everyone involved.


    At night, around eleven o¡¯clock, five people sat on the floor of the operating room, leaning against the wall.


    Each one of them had a bag of glucose IV.


    Wang Qian felt that this period was the time he had improved and grown the most since becoming a doctor.


    Being originally from general surgery, where had he seen surgeries like these?


    Wang Qian smiled and said, ¡°Hey¡­ today I finally understood what ¡®a shredded liver and guts¡¯ really means. Teacher Chen, you¡¯re too awesome, fixing even that!¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head with a smile and remained silent.


    Zhou Xiaodong picked up the thread, ¡°Not just ¡®a shredded liver and guts¡¯, I bet Teacher Chen could handle ¡®spilling your guts on the ground¡¯ without any problem!¡±


    Zhang Wenfu laughed heartily, ¡°Then add another one¡­ ¡®rending one¡¯s heart and splitting one¡¯s lungs¡¯, how about that?¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless; these people were incredible, using idioms in such ways!


    Zhou Xiaodong got excited too, ¡°And there¡¯s that one¡­ right, ¡®livers and gallbladders tearing apart¡¯¡­ ¡®stabbing the heart and splitting the liver¡¯!¡±


    Wang Qian shook his head, ¡°You guys don¡¯t know, Teacher Chen¡¯s specialty is ¡®cutting open intestines and stomach¡¯, his favorite thing to handle is ¡®skin flayed and flesh exploded¡¯, his current level is ¡®examining the heart and dissecting the liver¡¯, and his direction of effort is ¡®holding cards close to the chest¡¯.¡±


    The group of people broke into laughter.


    Men¡¯s happiness is just that simple!


    A young nurse on the side, tidying up surgical instruments, couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter at their conversation.


    Yuan Yuan said with a smile, ¡°How can you guys be so cruel? You¡¯re making these idioms sound so gory, I bet I¡¯ll be too scared to use them in the future.¡±


    Wang Qian laughed heartily, ¡°Yuan Yuan, you don¡¯t get it, do you? This is what you call ¡®practical application¡¯. I didn¡¯t fully grasp these idioms before, but after these few days of surgeries¡­ well, I truly feel more enlightened.¡±


    ¡°Just like that surgery yesterday, remember the ¡®worrying sick¡¯ one? Think about it. When the intestines are knotted up, wouldn¡¯t it be painful? So much anxiety, right?¡±


    Zhou Xiaodong couldn¡¯t help covering his face, ¡°Brother Qian¡¯er, that was an intestinal obstruction.¡±


    Wang Qian nodded, ¡°Exactly, right? Intestinal obstruction, you¡¯d be worried sick if you weren¡¯t concerned, right? It got me thinking how incredible our ancestors were, so vivid in their use of words, unbeatable at forming phrases and sentences!¡±


    Listening to everyone joking around, Chen Cang also felt very happy. During this period, after their coordination and efforts, their abilities had leaped in quality.


    The team had truly taken form, now tentatively possessing emergency response capabilities.


    But he had also noticed something else¡­


    His luck was definitely bad! And¡­ Wang Qian, this guy was truly the team¡¯s mascot.


    Initially, they received an emergency call about a patient with a sharp object penetrating the precordial area. Wang Qian and Zhang Wenfu went to receive the patient, only to find upon their return that the object had missed the heart by less than 1 centimeter.


    Nor had it damaged any major blood vessels; it merely pierced the pleura and injured a rib!


    The reason for the deviation turned out to be the broken rib, which caused the knife to shift its angle as it entered¡­


    This situation left everyone somewhat caught between laughter and tears.


    Chen Cang felt that if he had been the one to go and receive the patient, the knife might have just perfectly, precisely passed through the intercostal space, just able to damage the intercostal nerves, and even penetrate the left ventricle!


    And who knows, it might even have come with a bonus of a ruptured aorta¡­


    The difference between bad luck and good luck was indeed very clear!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Wang Kai¡¯an watched everyone joking and teasing, merely smiling without talking much. He had been at the Provincial Second Hospital for less than a month, yet this period had been the most comfortable time he had felt.


    Even though the treatment he received at Dongda Second Hospital had been quite good, this kind of work environment and atmosphere was something he had never experienced before.


    Actually, the work environment and atmosphere are even more important than the institution itself. The Provincial Second Hospital ranked five or six places lower than Dongda Second Hospital and naturally was in a different league.


    Yet, when he was in thoracic surgery, the head of the department never regarded him as an associate chief physician, even often targeting him¡­


    Indeed, the terms offered by the hospital were good, and they delivered, but the harmony of the department remained a tough problem.


    This was something the hospital couldn¡¯t adjust.


    So, when his contract expired, Wang Kai¡¯an resolutely left Dongda Second Hospital and came to this Provincial Second Hospital, which didn¡¯t even have a thoracic surgery department.


    The hospital promised Wang Kai¡¯an that they would establish a thoracic surgery department within three years, asking him to set up a thoracic surgery team in the Emergency Department in the meantime, lead the team, and build his team over three years.


    Qin Xiaoyuan gave Wang Kai¡¯an enough autonomy, even including the power to build his team, which was quite thoughtful.


    However, being new to the place, Wang Kai¡¯an happened to join the emergency rescue team.


    Initially, Wang Kai¡¯an couldn¡¯t understand why Director Li Baoshan assigned Chen Cang as the head of the emergency rescue team, but now he understood.


    It was because of Chen Cang¡¯s strength. This person was truly formidable; the word ¡°genius¡± seemed somewhat inadequate. Being able to perform so many types of surgeries, and each at a master level, even his own proud thoracic surgeries were significantly inferior to Chen Cang¡¯s.


    And furthermore¡­ this person had a charm that could unify a team into a single force.


    Therefore, even as a Ph.D. associate senior-level Wang Kai¡¯an willingly called Chen Cang ¡°Teacher Chen¡± with genuine respect.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After tidying up, Yuan Yuan turned to Wang Qian and asked, ¡°Qian¡¯er, who¡¯s treating us to the six bags of dextrose today?¡±


    Wang Qian replied offhand, ¡°I¡¯ll treat everyone!¡±


    However, Wang Qian suddenly paused, ¡°Yuan Yuan, why do you always ask me who¡¯s treating?¡±


    Yuan Yuan stopped short, awkwardly smiling, ¡°The head nurse told me to ask you.¡±


    Wang Qian burst into laughter upon hearing this, ¡°Oh! Does the head nurse think I¡¯m a nice person?¡±


    Yuan Yuan looked slightly embarrassed, ¡°The head nurse said you¡¯re frivolous, like to treat others, and also said, don¡¯t ask Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen is too busy, and doesn¡¯t need to worry about these things. She also said to say it was covered by the operating room if Doctor Chen asks.¡±


    Another young nurse chimed in, ¡°Right! The head nurse also said that dextrose costs money too, and we should save where we can. Doctor Wang is generous and doesn¡¯t mind this little amount of money.¡±


    ¡°Oh, Qian¡¯er, I¡¯ve put it on your tab! Hee hee¡­¡±


    Wang Qian was stunned and then baffled, ¡°Damn, that¡¯s unfair¡­ The big spender is right here, do you not feel guilty at all exploiting me?¡±


    Everyone burst into resounding laughter upon hearing this.


    But Wang Qian truly didn¡¯t mind¡ªit was just a few bags of dextrose¡­ sob sob¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next morning, Chen Cang came to the Emergency Department out of habit, only today he had eaten a bit too much and felt full¡­


    There were a lot of patients in the morning, and a long line had formed at the entrance.


    Director An, who had been on the night shift, said to Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen is here, go check on the outpatients. There¡¯s a special patient in the intensive care unit I need to handle.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and instructed the triage nurse to call the next patient in.


    He had just sat down when a man and a woman, both in their fifties, walked in as patients number seven and eight.


    However¡­ both were holding a plastic box.


    After the man sat down, his face was somewhat panicked as he urgently said, ¡°Doctor, I think I might be sick!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The man sighed and took out a box that looked like a lunch box from a black plastic bag, ¡°It¡¯s a bit shabby, doctor¡­ you don¡¯t mind, do you?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s all right. Could you first tell me what discomfort you¡¯re feeling?¡±


    The man shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t feel uncomfortable¡­ It¡¯s just that this morning when I got up to use the bathroom, I found¡­ my urine was green!¡±


    After speaking, the man took out a transparent box, which, through the box, displayed a deep green liquid inside.


    Chen Cang frowned slightly, ¡°Open it, let me have a look.¡±


    The man nodded and opened the lid.


    After seeing the dark green urine, Chen Cang slightly furrowed his brows and looked up to ask, ¡°Have you eaten anything lately? Something with coloring in it?¡±


    The man shook his head quickly, ¡°No! It¡¯s as usual.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, typically, normal urine color is light yellow, clear, and without any sediment or turbidity.


    But when it comes to urine, the colors can be truly bizarre¡ªred, white, blue, yellow¡­


    For this deep green color¡­ such colored urine is often related to medication rather than disease.


    Of course, if someone has cholera or suffers from spotted fever, similar symptoms may appear, but that¡¯s almost impossible.


    With this in mind, Chen Cang asked, ¡°Do you have any illnesses, have you taken any medicine? What are you currently taking?¡±


    The man said, ¡°I have hypertension, chronic heart failure, I¡¯ve been taking Beijing Blood Pressure Reducer No. 0 and that Shihuida, nothing else.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang seemed to have an epiphany and said, ¡°Beijing Blood Pressure Reducer No. 0? How long have you been taking it?¡±


    The man thought for a moment, ¡°I¡¯ve been taking it for several years, but I¡¯ve stopped and started it. Recently my feet swelled up, and the doctor told me to take a bit more.¡±


    ¡°Doctor¡­ I haven¡¯t contracted some strange illness, have I?¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile and said, ¡°I suspect there¡¯s nothing wrong with you, but I can¡¯t come to a conclusion right now. How about this, go get a urinalysis and microscopic examination done, and we¡¯ll see.¡±


    ¡°It may be related to the Nifedipine, also known as Beijing Blood Pressure Reducer No. 0, that you¡¯ve been taking recently.¡±


    The man was stunned, ¡°Beijing Blood Pressure Reducer No. 0 can turn urine green?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, if you don¡¯t have any other special illnesses right now, this deep green urine is very likely caused by the Compound Nifedipine Aminophylline Tablets. Go get your urine tested.¡±


    After hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief and got up hurriedly to walk outside.


    As long as it¡¯s not some serious disease¡­


    At this moment, a woman from behind approached, looking a bit embarrassed.


    ¡°Doctor, why is my stool sort of gray and white¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, What¡¯s going on this morning?


    Is it¡­ because I ate too much for breakfast?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: After I finished writing last night¡¯s chapter, I hesitated for a very long time, and in the end, I decided to leave it as it was. I was particularly worried that you all wouldn¡¯t like it, as it is that kind of resolution, according to the plot outline, actually, it was supposed to be a story about the protagonist showing off and saving the day, but¡­ after thinking it over, I felt it would be meaningless, so I modified it based on an event from the past.


    I¡¯m glad it¡¯s still acceptable to everyone, and lastly, thank you all for your support!


    This chapter is a two-in-one.


    Yep, Compound Nifedipine (Beijing Blood Pressure Reducer No. 0) as a common antihypertensive and diuretic medication can cause the urine to turn green. If any friends encounter this issue, don¡¯t worry, stopping the medication should resolve it.

 Chapter 547 - Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Uncle Chen, Please Let My Mom Go...

    Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Uncle Chen, Please Let My Mom Go¡­


    Chen Cang, upon hearing the woman¡¯s words, suddenly froze, looking at¡­ the black box, and couldn¡¯t help but swallow¡­ saliva¡­


    Is it really a mistake to have a dark face?


    If it is, does it need to be this black?


    Early in the morning, giving me an appetite¡­ Is this appropriate¡­


    Chen Cang was caught between laughter and tears.


    As he zoned out, the woman sighed, ¡°Doctor, please take a look quickly!¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the woman, ¡°Hmm, how long has this been going on?¡±


    The woman saw Chen Cang staring at her and shook her head, ¡°Doctor, not at me, look at my stool¡­¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, let it be, let it be, who asked for this to be my job¡­


    At this moment, Chen Cang envied Wang Qian immensely.


    Perhaps emergency care needed a hero like him; suddenly, at this moment, he felt some complaint towards Li Baoshan. As the Hall Master, didn¡¯t he know to apply some facial masks in his regular routine?


    Forget it, forget it!


    Chen Cang lowered his head for a look, took a careful glance, hmm, quite thick¡­ ash-grey¡­ elongated¡­ (There¡¯s the smell!)


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but look up at this delicately looking woman.


    The woman seemed to realize her stool was somewhat abnormal and blushed, ¡°I¡¯ve been constipated these few days, didn¡¯t pay attention, and today it wouldn¡¯t even flush down the toilet¡­¡±


    ¡°Doctor¡­ don¡¯t look at me, look at it¡­¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, cover it, I understand now.¡±


    Chen Cang looked up and asked, ¡°Have you had any diseases in the past? Taken any medicines? Or eaten any particular foods?¡±


    The woman thought for a moment, ¡°Hmm¡­ I had hemorrhoids before, had surgery last year, nothing else much¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh, right, I¡¯ve had quite a few dining engagements lately, eating rather greasy food, but I haven¡¯t taken any medications.¡±


    After listening, Chen Cang said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll prescribe a routine blood, urine, and stool test for you, and let¡¯s see if there¡¯s any issue with liver function.¡±


    The woman nodded, not refusing, but still curiously asked, ¡°Doctor, I don¡¯t understand, why do you need to check my blood and urine when my stool is grey? Shouldn¡¯t you check the digestive tract?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback¡­


    Do you think your stool is washed clean in the digestive tract until it turns white?


    But a doctor¡¯s job isn¡¯t merely to treat and save patients; they should also provide some education on medical knowledge. However, due to the lack of doctors and medical resources in the country, often doctors don¡¯t have the time or patience to deal with patients.


    Of course¡­ there might be doctors who also don¡¯t understand¡­


    Let alone discuss a stool issue with a patient on such a beautiful morning, especially after a full emergency doctor has had his breakfast!


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°Normally, stool is yellow-brown because liver cells secrete bile, which enters the enterohepatic circulation, goes through a series of chemical changes, and the bilirubin in the bile turns from yellow-green to yellow-brown and is excreted from the body with the stool.


    If there is a blockage in the bile duct, and the bile can¡¯t enter the intestines, leading to an absence of bile in the digestive tract, it will result in the stool appearing grey-white, like clay.


    Simply put, it¡¯s like the paint can¡¯t get into the digestive tract, causing it to lose its color!¡±


    Chen Cang explained quite clearly and understandably, and the woman, carrying her box, hurried off¡­


    After seeing a few more patients, Chen Cang returned to his office.


    Wang Qian was currently eating breakfast.


    Chen Cang was surprised, ¡°Why are you so early today?¡±


    Wang Qian sighed, ¡°Don¡¯t even mention it, my wife is pregnant and has prenatal depression. I got up at six in the morning. Every extra minute I spent at home would earn me a scolding!¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Wang Qian¡¯s breakfast, the rare old tofu and dough sticks.


    He became curious and asked, ¡°Huh? This doesn¡¯t fit your style. Where¡¯s your luxurious KFC breakfast?¡±


    Wang Qian shook his head, ¡°My wife¡¯s pregnancy depression could only be cured by one thing, so all the money¡¯s gone?¡±


    Chen Cang immediately became curious, ¡°What thing is that, which can even cure pregnancy depression? I¡¯ve got to learn this! Are there any side effects? Could it be harmful to the child?¡±


    Wang Qian smiled mysteriously, ¡°No, it¡¯s effective, just a bit expensive. Look, my breakfast expenses have been reduced to just 5 yuan.¡±


    Chen Cang grew even more curious, ¡°What is this amazing thing?¡±


    Wang Qian tossed a youtiao into the old tofu soup, stirred it, and said leisurely, ¡°It cures all diseases!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, ¡°Cures all diseases?¡±


    Wang Qian nodded, ¡°Got a bag, it cures everything, haven¡¯t you heard of it? Country bumpkin¡­¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly caught on!


    What on earth was Wang Qian filling his head with every day?


    Yesterday¡¯s ¡°heart-wrenching pain¡± was barely acceptable, and now there¡¯s ¡°cures all diseases¡±¡­


    ¡°No wonder you¡¯re single. Cang Er, you need to learn more from me¡­¡± Wang Qian took a bite of the youtiao, speaking smugly¡­


    Seeing the youtiao covered in tofu soup, Chen Cang suddenly looked at Wang Qian seriously, ¡°Qian¡¯er bro, I have something to tell you!¡±


    Wang Qian nodded, ¡°Ah! Go ahead¡­¡±


    Chen Cang seriously recounted the patients he saw that morning, ¡°I just saw two patients, a woman, her stool¡­ um¡­ similar color, length¡­¡±


    After finishing, Chen Cang turned and left.


    Wang Qian looked baffledly at his breakfast, pondering whether to eat or not to eat¡­


    But if he ate, it would be too revolting; if he didn¡¯t, he was sure to get hungry running around in the morning¡­


    This really was a conundrum!


    Thinking about it, Wang Qian shook his head, sighing¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    For the whole morning, Chen Cang noticed Wang Qian giving him strange looks. Thinking about it, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh, when would this cycle of misunderstandings end?


    Nurse Lele walked into the doctors¡¯ office, and Li Baoshan hurriedly said upon seeing her,


    ¡°Lele, your mom¡¯s surgery¡­¡±


    Lele¡¯s eyes widened, and she quickly smiled, ¡°Director, there¡¯s no need to trouble yourself.¡±


    Li Baoshan was stunned, ¡°Not doing it anymore?¡±


    Lele smiled, ¡°No, no, you¡¯re so busy, Director. An appendectomy is a simple procedure, no need for overkill.¡±


    Lele smiled softly, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll just have Doctor Wang Qian do it.¡±


    Li Baoshan was taken aback, ¡°Maybe you should go to Little Chen? I think Little Chen¡¯s appendectomy skills are very good.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lele¡¯s expression turned sour, and she quickly shook her head, ¡°No need, no need, I think Doctor Wang Qian does a good job, no need to bother Doctor Chen.¡±


    Seeing Lele so determined, Li Baoshan nodded and walked out.


    Chen Cang was also curious, ¡°Lele, do you¡­ have some kind of prejudice against me?¡±


    Lele was startled, then quickly smiled, ¡°Not at all, how could I be prejudiced?¡±


    Chen Cang said ¡°Oh¡± and felt something was off, then said suddenly, ¡°Then I¡¯ll¡­ go assist Qian¡¯er bro.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lele¡¯s complexion changed, and she almost knelt down!


    ¡°Doctor Chen, big brother Chen, Grandpa Chen¡­ Please spare my mom¡­¡±


    Everyone in the office was taken aback, their curiosity piqued as they looked on. Could there be some scandalous secret?

 Chapter 548 - Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Mischief (Part 1)

    Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Mischief (Part 1)


    Wang Qian heard Lele¡¯s trust in him and immediately lit up with joy, ¡°Lele, do I make you feel that assured? Seems like my skills are still pretty reliable, huh!¡±


    Lele nodded and then shook his head.


    Wang Qian was dumbfounded. What did that mean?


    Lele couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply, ¡°I heard from the nurses in the surgery room that the chance of Doctor Chen finding a strange and unusual appendix disease during an appendectomy is over thirty percent! And Doctor Wang Qian¡¯s chances are extremely low!¡±


    Everyone was taken aback, and then they burst into hearty laughter.


    Chen Cang¡¯s face darkened in an instant¡­


    I¡¯m¡­ what am I supposed to think?


    Am I to blame for having a dark face?


    In that moment, Wang Qian suddenly felt his mood brighten.


    Chen Bingsheng laughed heartily, ¡°Little Chen, your scowl is second only to the director.¡±


    At that time, Li Baoshan entered with a stern face, and everyone was startled before breaking into raucous laughter again.


    Only Chen Bingsheng sighed deeply.


    My face is really dark!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.??


    Li Baoshan glanced at Chen Bingsheng, ¡°Bingsheng, go find Director Shen this morning and get our equipment for the year signed off.¡±


    After that, Li Baoshan walked out.


    Chen Bingsheng sighed helplessly, Who the hell did I offend¡­


    Getting Director Shen¡¯s signature is more tiring than performing a major gastric resection!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At eleven in the morning, a phone call suddenly came in.


    Nurse Xiao Lin hurried into the office and said loudly, ¡°A fifty-seven-year-old teacher at Xiangnan Primary School suddenly started having severe chest pain in the precordial area, suspected of acute myocardial infarction!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces changed, and Chen Cang immediately ran outside.


    He said to the driver Old Yang, ¡°Old Yang, to Xiangnan Primary School, the patient has acute myocardial infarction.¡±


    Old Yang liked to smoke in the duty room when it wasn¡¯t busy. Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, he quickly got up to prepare the car.


    Chen Cang, with Xiao Lin ready with the equipment, was about to set off when he suddenly halted next to the car and said to Xiao Lin, ¡°Go get Wang Qian to come along.¡±


    Xiao Lin was startled, ¡°Why¡­¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Think of it as a good luck charm, take him¡­ just in case he¡¯s useful!¡±


    Xiao Lin felt there was some sense to it, and quickly turned back. Upon reaching the office door, she hurriedly said, ¡°Qian¡¯er brother, Doctor Chen wants you to come along.¡±


    Wang Qian nodded hastily and followed them out. The car had just pulled up to the emergency entrance, and the three of them got into the car, with Old Yang starting it swiftly.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the teachers¡¯ office at that moment, a group of teachers watched as Old Ma clutched at his heart, helpless.


    ¡°Teacher Ma¡­ don¡¯t you have any medication with you?¡±


    Ma Huimin clutched his chest, his complexion deathly pale, and his forehead glistening with beads of sweat the size of soybeans ¨C a sensation of fear and death engulfing his mind!


    He was utterly weak; his hands were trembling!


    His colleague, at a loss for what to do, could only offer comfort, ¡°Teacher Ma, hang in there, the ambulance will arrive any moment!¡±


    At that moment, the grade director hurriedly called the principal over!


    Upon entering and seeing Teacher Ma lying on the ground, clutching his chest with a ghastly pale face, the principal was also startled, ¡°What¡¯s going on? What happened?¡±


    A young teacher suddenly said, ¡°Just now a terrifying sound suddenly came from Teacher Ma¡¯s phone, then he stepped back and fell to the ground.¡±


    ¡°`


    The principal asked hastily, ¡°How long has it been? Have you contacted the family yet?¡±


    The crowd shook their heads, ¡°We haven¡¯t contacted the family yet, it¡¯s been only 2 minutes. We just called for an ambulance, and haven¡¯t had the chance yet.¡±


    Everyone held great respect for Ma Huimin. As the most senior and dedicated teacher at Xiangnan Elementary School, who cared for the students the most, Teacher Ma truly led by example!


    At fifty-seven, he was still insistent on teaching classes, never arriving late or leaving early, conscientiously grading homework, and sincerely considering the students¡¯ best interests.


    The principal couldn¡¯t help but take Ma Huimin¡¯s phone from his hand, preparing to contact his family.


    He saw that the phone was open to a WeChat chat interface, labeled, ¡°Grade 4 Class 3, Wang Yizhe.¡±


    Inside the chat window was a video.


    Out of curiosity, the principal clicked on the video and found it to be an essay.


    An essay like this?


    What on earth did it say?


    The title of the essay was ¡°The Hero in My Heart.¡±


    The principal looked carefully, and almost unconsciously, he became engrossed. it was actually quite well written.


    At that moment, the screen suddenly changed, and a sharp, terror-inducing voice came through, as the image abruptly turned into a horrifying ghost!


    The principal¡¯s face turned pale, and he was so frightened that the phone almost slipped from his grasp and hit the ground.


    At this, he understood why Ma Huimin had suddenly collapsed like this.


    This was sheer nonsense!


    He said loudly, ¡°Who is the homeroom teacher for Grade 4 Class 3!¡±


    At this time, a woman came forward, ¡°Principal, I am.¡±


    The principal¡¯s expression was grave as he said loudly, ¡°Bring him to me, and then notify his parents to come to the school! Tell them their child has committed murder and they must come!¡±


    The woman was startled, then she hurriedly ran outside!


    Meanwhile, the principal took a deep breath and quickly flipped through Ma Huimin¡¯s contacts to reach out to his family.


    ¡°Sister-in-law, this is Principal Li. Yes, I have something to tell you, but don¡¯t panic¡­


    Teacher Ma suddenly had a heart attack at school, we have called an ambulance¡­ Yes, that¡¯s right!¡±


    ¡­


    Just then, the ambulance had already arrived on campus.


    Chen Cang began to provide the specific address!


    As it was recess, the sight of an ambulance driving in immediately drew curious onlookers.


    Just as Chen Cang was preparing to make a call, a young man ran down, ¡°Doctor, follow me, it¡¯s on the third floor of the administration building.¡±


    As he spoke, he led the three of them running towards the building!


    Hurrying into the office, Chen Cang saw a room full of people, and he promptly said, ¡°Everyone, please make way!¡±


    The crowd quickly nodded and dispersed.


    Once inside the office, Wang Qian laid the stretcher on the ground, and together with two others, they lifted the patient onto it.


    Before Chen Cang could say anything, the principal said anxiously, ¡°I¡¯m the principal, I¡¯ll accompany you to the hospital!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, carefully lifting the stretcher toward the ambulance.


    It was crucial to handle a heart attack patient with care during transportation, and moving them to a stretcher should be done gently, quickly, and accurately!


    Moreover, it was vital to maintain absolute bed rest, stay calm, and reduce the oxygen consumption of the heart muscle!


    With everyone¡¯s help, they carefully loaded the patient onto the ambulance, and as soon as he was on board, Chen Cang could not bother with taking off his coat and immediately said to Xiao Lin, ¡°Cut off the clothes! Get an ECG started!¡±


    Xiao Lin nodded and hurriedly began to prepare.


    Chen Cang started to increase the prepared oxygen concentration and began administering it to the patient.


    He comforted with, ¡°Relax, don¡¯t be nervous, you¡¯ll be fine¡­¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 549 - Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Mischief (Part 2)

    Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Mischief (Part 2)


    Although Chen Cang offered such comfort, the pain of a myocardial infarction was extremely severe!


    It was a crushing pain, so intense that it made breathing difficult, a sensation akin to being on the brink of death.


    Even though the patient¡¯s symptoms closely resembled those of a myocardial infarction, Chen Cang still couldn¡¯t administer medication immediately, only after a thorough diagnosis could he proceed with treatment.


    The ECG machine slowly printed out the results.


    Chen Cang quickly took the ECG and examined it closely!


    It was indeed the ECG of an acute myocardial infarction, and specifically, the pattern of an anterior wall myocardial infarction.


    Taken together¡­ ST segment elevation was in V2 lead, other leads showed gradually decreasing frequency¡­


    After a careful analysis, Chen Cang frowned slightly; this was very likely an occlusion of the left anterior descending artery.


    At that moment, beads of sweat were visibly forming on Ma Huimin¡¯s face, and he couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°It hurts so much!¡±


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, ¡°Xiaolin, monitor the ECG, check the vital signs.¡±


    While speaking, Chen Cang took out nitroglycerin, and said to the patient, ¡°Place this under your tongue, 0.3mg.¡±


    Ma Huimin nodded and carefully placed the nitroglycerin under his tongue.


    What he feared most now was arrhythmia resulting from the myocardial infarction!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??0.?¦Ï


    It could be fatal!


    ¡°It hurts so much¡­¡±


    At this point, the intense pain was causing the patient to become restless, beginning to move around in the bed.


    The sight made the principal feel distressed!


    Time ticked away second by second, and at this moment, even with nitroglycerin, there seemed to be no obvious relief for the patient.


    Chen Cang took another deep breath, wondering whether to administer pain relief and sedation?


    Let¡¯s see how his breathing is first¡­


    At this time, the monitor was quickly connected by Xiaolin, and various readings appeared in Chen Cang¡¯s field of vision.


    The breathing was basically normal!


    The blood pressure was low, only 90/60mmHg.


    After seeing that the breathing was more or less normal, Chen Cang quickly looked up, ¡°Wang Qian, get morphine ready!¡±


    Wang Qian nodded immediately.


    For patients with acute myocardial infarction, the staff were often well-practiced in handling the condition, so they were quite adept.


    After the morphine injection, the patient responded quickly and his condition visibly improved.


    The chest pain was alleviated.


    Yet, the easing of the pain did not mean the patient was out of danger.


    Far from it!


    The patient¡¯s heart rate was basically normal, and Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but look gratefully at Wang Qian, right¡­ no arrhythmia, that¡¯s a good sign.


    Get ready to anticoagulate!


    Chen Cang instructed Xiaolin, ¡°Prepare four 75mg tablets of clopidogrel plus 300mg of aspirin and get ready 12500u of low molecular weight heparin.¡±


    The rescue work continued systematically.


    On the ECG monitor, the patient¡¯s vital signs were mostly stable.


    For heart attack patients, rescue is essentially a race against time. Getting to the hospital earlier means a better chance at rescue, and a higher possibility of salvaging the dying and dead myocardial cells.


    What is a myocardial infarction? Perhaps most people are aware of its risks, but they don¡¯t know why it¡¯s dangerous!


    It¡¯s essentially an acute obstruction of the coronary artery, which interrupts the blood flow, causing the death of heart muscle cells in the area supplied by the affected vessel due to ischemia and hypoxia.


    What is the heart?


    The heart is made up of heart muscle cells, it is muscle!


    These muscles starve from a lack of blood and oxygen supply; how can the area of the heart that¡¯s affected perform its function?


    So, in the rescue of patients with acute myocardial infarctions,


    Every second counts, as life¡¯s rescue hopes increase with every passing moment.


    Driver Lao Yang had an eagle-eyed focus; it was now his task to take the lead.


    Having been an ambulance driver for over twenty years, Lao Yang understood that although he was just a driver, his responsibility was heavier than that of other drivers!


    Because in his car, a life was constantly slipping away!


    All the way, the principal picked up his mobile phone and kept contacting the school staff, asking the students¡¯ families to come to the hospital, and he also called Mrs. Ma.


    Chen Cang now had the time and asked, ¡°How did the patient fall ill?¡±


    The principal sighed and said angrily, ¡°A student¡¯s prank!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang looked up curiously, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    The principal then explained, ¡°After I went to the office, Mr. Ma had already fallen to the ground, I checked the mobile phone next to him, it was a student¡¯s chat interface, the message was sent in the morning, Mr. Ma had just finished watching a video, and suddenly had a heart attack.¡±


    Chen Cang immediately became curious, ¡°What video?¡±


    The principal opened the chat record and said to Chen Cang, ¡°This video starts with an essay, and then suddenly a ghost¡¯s face and screams pop up, it also gave me a fright!¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!


    He knew of such prank videos; they were often shared in online chat groups and WeChat.


    But who would have thought, behind such a prank video, how great a disaster it could cause?


    Is it really as some people say, the bigger the crowd, the better the spectacle?


    Even some people openly forward it in groups!


    Perhaps for many people, it¡¯s just an excitement.


    But for those with underlying health conditions, severe stimuli such as intense emotional fluctuations, tension, excitement, anger, fear, and any other drastic emotional changes can trigger acute myocardial infarction!


    Life can have jokes and pranks.


    But remember!


    Life, it has no jokes, your prank, for others, may be a tragedy!


    After hearing the principal clearly explain the situation, the group including Chen Cang clenched their teeth in anger.


    Jokes can be made!


    But not all jokes can be made by everyone.


    Fortunately, Mr. Ma was in the office when he saw the video. What if someone were alone at home, what would they do after seeing that video?


    Thinking of this, everyone even felt a sense of terror!


    The car quickly arrived at the hospital, and the cardiology department was already prepared.


    The tense DSA pre-surgery preparations began.


    Prepare blood!


    Blood tests!


    Without the family present, hospital leaders had already started to approve and begin related diagnosis and treatment quickly.


    Fortunately, there wasn¡¯t much delay in bringing him in, thrombolysis was still possible¡­


    Just after Mr. Ma was taken to the operating room.


    Wang Yizhe¡¯s parents and grandparents all arrived!


    And Mrs. Ma Huimin arrived in a hurry!


    ¡°What happened? Principal? How did my child commit murder?¡± Wang Yizhe¡¯s mother asked anxiously.


    Looking at the whole family, the principal didn¡¯t pay them any mind and glanced at Mrs. Ma Huimin.


    ¡°Sister-in-law, don¡¯t panic, Mr. Ma has been taken to the operating room, please calm down,¡± he said.


    Upon saying this, the principal sternly looked at Wang Yizhe¡¯s parents and said, ¡°Wait a moment, I have called the police, they will be here soon, and after they arrive, we¡¯ll discuss this slowly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the child¡¯s family members were all stunned.


    ¡°No, he¡¯s just a child, what does he understand?¡±


    ¡°Exactly, we¡¯ll compensate!¡±


    ¡­


    The principal asked flatly, ¡°If the child doesn¡¯t understand, don¡¯t you as well?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: I¡¯d like to say something here, I hope everyone will refrain from sharing those horror videos, prank videos, they really can take lives!


    The reason I wrote this is that I¡¯ve seen it happen, and I hope everyone takes it seriously.

 Chapter 550 - Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Mischief (Part 3)

    Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Mischief (Part 3)


    The principal¡¯s words immediately made the whole family blush in silence!


    Indeed, if the child is ignorant, aren¡¯t you adults aware?


    At this moment, Wang Yizhe was extremely afraid!


    He never expected that such a simple act of mischief would lead to such a consequence.


    Clenching his fists in panic, he looked around at the doctors and nurses in white coats walking back and forth, overwhelmed with fear.


    Glancing at Teacher Ma¡¯s wife, he quickly lowered his head, fearing being discovered.


    Teacher Ma¡¯s wife was anxiously awaiting the results of the thrombolysis. Old Ma was fifty-seven years old, at an age to begin enjoying life¡¯s comforts, surrounded by children and grandchildren. The principal had advised him several times to step back from the front lines, but he just couldn¡¯t let go of the children. His life had been spent educating others; how could he just give it all up?


    Wang Yizhe occasionally stole glances and quickly pulled his head back.


    Hearing the principal loudly threatening to call the police, Wang Yizhe was scared stiff in that moment.


    Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.


    But remembering that Teacher Ma was still being resuscitated, he quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve.


    But¡­ was he going to go to jail?


    Thinking of this, Wang Yizhe looked plaintively at the ¡°support group¡± behind him.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Seeing his father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother all sitting there, he somehow felt relieved¡­


    At that moment, his grandmother was holding his little brother¡ªwho was Wang Yizhe¡¯s younger sibling, born from the second-child policy.


    His mother pulled Wang Yizhe over and held him in her arms, comforting him, ¡°Baby, it¡¯s okay! Don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry; he¡¯s just scaring you, no tears now, alright?¡±


    Wang Yizhe felt the familiar scent.


    Every time he did something wrong, his mother would protect him.


    ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to go to jail, I don¡¯t want the police to take me away¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, the woman quickly comforted him, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be afraid; the principal is just scaring you. You¡¯re only 10 years old; you won¡¯t be considered a criminal, the police won¡¯t take you away¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang and Wang Qian immediately felt a chill in their hearts!


    Your child almost scared the teacher to death, and you say not to worry?


    You¡¯re just ten years old, and the police won¡¯t take you away?


    You¡¯re educated, right?


    You understand the law, don¡¯t you?


    Is this how you educate your child with your education?


    At the age of causing trouble, is this how you use your legal knowledge to ¡°educate¡± and ¡°protect¡± your child?


    The man beside them was somewhat angry, grabbing the boy and trying to drag him out, ¡°What time is it, and you¡¯re still protecting him! It¡¯s all because you spoil him, where¡¯s the phone? Give it to me!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the woman immediately got angry, ¡°He¡¯s already in such a state, do you want to scare him to death? He¡¯s just ten years old! What does he know? Why are you yelling at me?¡±


    The man took a deep breath, not wanting to lose face in a hospital full of people, and looked down at Wang Yizhe, ¡°Where¡¯s the phone? Give it to me!¡±


    No sooner had Wang Yizhe taken out his phone than it was snatched away by the woman.


    At this time, two police officers walked over.


    The whole story was already clear, but seeing that Wang Yizhe was only ten years old, the two of them sighed.


    A troublemaking child is always getting into mischief!


    Such situations are the simplest yet most troublesome.


    Registration, processing, criticism, education¡­ it¡¯s all the same in the end.


    But ultimately, it¡¯s about educating the parents.


    The older police officer said, ¡°Parents, please register with us.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Yizhe¡¯s mother hurriedly said, ¡°Officer, the child doesn¡¯t understand anything. Please give him a chance, can we not put this on his record? It¡¯s a stain on his life.¡±


    At this moment, the younger police officer couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Do you mean to say that in your mind, making a mistake does not carry the concept of punishment?¡±


    The woman¡¯s face turned red upon hearing this.


    ¡°We will educate him, and besides, the child is currently in school. We don¡¯t have time now; once we go back, we will definitely discipline him properly. Could you give him a chance, please?¡±


    Wang Qian couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and walked over.


    ¡°It¡¯s easy to give your child a chance to make a mistake, but¡­who will give Teacher Ma a chance?!¡± Wang Qian¡¯s voice was loud, immediately making everyone present jolt with shock.


    Exactly!


    Who would give Teacher Ma a chance?


    The woman still wanted to justify herself: ¡°The child didn¡¯t mean for this to happen; he might have just wanted to play a joke on the teacher, right?¡±


    At this point, Wang Yizhe was at a loss. He felt his mother nudge his head and he nodded.


    Yes, isn¡¯t it often the case that most of the time, children¡¯s actions are led by their parents?


    The adults do, the children learn¡ªisn¡¯t this just like puppet education?


    ¡°Besides, isn¡¯t Teacher Ma in the care of your doctors now? This is your responsibility, you must save Teacher Ma, we are willing to pay whatever it costs!¡± The woman seemed to speak without restraint.


    But these words only drew sneers from the crowd.


    The men could not bear listening anymore: ¡°Can you shut up? Is this how you teach a child? He will be doomed sooner or later!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the woman also got angry: ¡°If I don¡¯t teach well, then you do it! You¡¯re so busy that you don¡¯t even come home, why don¡¯t you take care of your child? Now that there¡¯s a problem, isn¡¯t it me who has to take responsibility? All you can do is curse!¡±


    The man shouted back: ¡°Am I not doing this for our family? I have to work to provide for us, what about you? What have you been doing, idling away your days? You should be supporting your husband and educating your child, look what your teaching has done to our child!¡±


    It looked as if the family was about to start quarreling.


    The police hurriedly intervened: ¡°Enough, now is not the time to argue. Come on, let¡¯s get registered.¡±


    The man stood up: ¡°I¡¯ll do it, he must be dealt with seriously!¡±


    The police officer was taken aback and sighed: ¡°The child is small, but it¡¯s crucial how you adults handle this. What can we do? This time it was a prank, but what about next time? If he sets someone¡¯s house on fire with a lighter, is that also a prank?¡±


    The woman held Wang Yizhe while the man yanked him out and kicked him. The child instantly got kicked away and fell to the ground, crying loudly.


    ¡°Wang Yizhe, stand up!¡± the man yelled.


    The woman¡¯s face changed, and she got up to chase after the child, wanting to pick him up.


    Suddenly, the man scolded: ¡°If you coddle him today, we¡¯re getting a divorce. Your child is about to cause a death, and you¡¯re still protecting him. Do you want to ruin him?¡±


    The woman hesitated for a moment, handed her mobile phone to the grandmother, and still prepared to get up.


    The farce played out once again.


    Everyone around them watched the scene unfold.


    Just as everyone was arguing, suddenly the grandmother holding the child cried out loudly, and right after, the child began to have seizures!


    The grandmother¡¯s face changed instantly, and she shouted, ¡°Doctor! The child suddenly started convulsing, please save him!¡±


    The parents of Wang Yizhe, who were about to come to blows, hurried over.


    Their faces were filled with panic, especially the woman, who was so scared she didn¡¯t know what to do.


    ¡°Doctor, save the child, please!¡±


    Chen Cang frowned and promptly said to the nurse, ¡°Contact pediatrics.¡±


    He then asked the old lady, ¡°How did he just start convulsing out of nowhere?¡±


    Shaken, the old woman replied, ¡°Just now¡­ he was casually playing with the mobile phone, and he opened a short video¡­¡±

 Chapter 551 - Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Mascot

    Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Mascot


    As expected, the child, not even three years old, had already acquired the skill of playing with a cell phone.


    He casually opened a video and curiously played with the device.


    Unexpectedly, it was still that same prank video.


    The child was hurriedly taken away by the pediatric department.


    The diagnosis was ¡°pediatric epilepsy¡±!


    This occurs when a child is frightened and suddenly has an epileptic seizure, characterized by fainting, convulsions of the limbs, drooling, screaming, crying out in fear, with a face alternating between red and white, and appearing panicked and uneasy, among other symptoms.


    It¡¯s also a common condition in pediatric epilepsy.


    However, the treatment is quite troublesome and requires hospitalization.


    At this moment, Wang Yizhe was no longer protected by anyone, and punches and kicks were spared no expense!


    If it weren¡¯t for the police intervention, this woman¡¯s frenzy would have been more frightening than any man¡¯s!


    Meanwhile, Teacher Ma¡¯s thrombolysis was very successful, significantly reducing his chest pain, but he needed follow-up treatment and was admitted to the cardiology department.


    Seeing Wang Yizhe being beaten by his parents in the emergency room, Teacher Ma exclaimed, ¡°Don¡¯t hit him anymore, educate your child properly!¡±


    Sadly, no one listened to him.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    What goes around comes around, who can escape the decree of Heaven?


    When the troublesome child harmed Teacher Ma, the woman¡¯s maternal instincts were deeply protective.


    Yet, when the troublesome child caused harm to her own, the situation took on a different story.


    But on closer thought, was it really just Wang Yizhe¡¯s fault alone?


    Was it Wang Yizhe who insisted on showing the video to his younger brother?


    Where exactly does the blame lie in such an incident?


    The thought is terrifying!


    Sometimes, wrong educational methods and concepts may really, unbeknownst to us, end up affecting ourselves in the end.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    With Teacher Ma¡¯s issue resolved, Chen Cang and Wang Qian returned to the emergency room.


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Qian¡¯er, you¡¯re about to become a dad soon, are you prepared?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Qian paused for a moment and thought about what had just happened, feeling quite angry.


    Is hitting children really the correct way to educate them?


    Wang Yizhe was certainly at fault, but he was only ten years old, with immature principles still in need of shaping.


    But there¡¯s no way around it, with parents refusing to acknowledge their own mistakes, what else to do but blame the child and resort to hitting?


    Wang Qian laughed, ¡°I¡¯ll bring him to the hospital, have him come to work with me every day, what do you think?¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, ¡°I think your days are numbered!¡±


    Wang Qian burst into laughter, ¡°Just kidding.¡±


    ¡°But seriously, I¡¯ve got to take this matter to heart. Childhood family education is so important; you really don¡¯t want to lead them astray.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m considering whether to ask my wife to resign and stay home to take care of the child.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, with how busy I am, it certainly won¡¯t work.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded in agreement. Indeed, being a doctor, especially an emergency physician, means early mornings and late nights, with overtime being a common occurrence. The hospital bed becomes more familiar than the one at home.


    Recently, the hospital¡¯s senior on-call Doctor Hu, upon returning home, shockingly found he couldn¡¯t sleep.


    He had developed a preference for a particular bed!


    Used to the single bed in the on-call room, he soon found himself suffering from several days of continuous insomnia at home, struggling to fall asleep. Restless, Doctor Hu kept turning to his wife for a chat, feeling that something was off.


    This made his wife anxious, fearing her husband had discovered something!


    The thoughtful wife threw out all the old bed linen and replaced it with new ones.


    Doctor Hu was elated for days, repeatedly praising his wife for her virtuous and tidy ways, remarking how she had spruced everything up, inside and out, in welcome of his return with everything new.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang and Wang Qian returned to the office and were too lazy to go out, so they simply ordered takeout.


    Seeing Wang Qian take out six bags of glucose fee slips, Chen Cang had no choice but to treat.


    However, Chen Cang curiously asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t we just five people? Why six bags?¡±


    Wang Qian laughed, ¡°I drank two bags!¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, you bottomless pit¡­


    At this moment, many of the nurses were also eating in the doctors¡¯ office and smilingly said to Wang Qian,


    ¡°Qian¡¯er, times have changed, haven¡¯t they? Where¡¯s your McDonald¡¯s deluxe lunch?¡±


    ¡°Exactly, now even glucose has to be scrimped and saved.¡±


    Wang Qian didn¡¯t mind and said complacently, ¡°I have to save up for my kid¡¯s baby formula money now. It¡¯s different for Boss Chen, still a bachelor dog, no girlfriend, no need to buy gifts, no anniversaries, and not even a wife with prenatal depression!¡±


    ¡°Most importantly, I am now just a soldier under Boss Chen!¡±


    At this point, Wang Qian suddenly said, ¡°My goal now is to serve Boss Chen well, to follow wherever he goes.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to bother with Wang Qian and stood up to change into casual clothes in the on-call room.


    At that moment, Wang Qian also suddenly realized, ¡°Right, I¡¯ve discovered something terrifying!¡±


    A group of nurses quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you find it strange? Chen Cang is handsome, a good person, and now he has such a good income. He is a key figure in the hospital¡¯s professional development, and he¡¯s about to become Director Chen. Why doesn¡¯t he find a partner?¡±


    The nurses were momentarily stunned, ¡°Yeah!¡±


    Chang Lina said with a gossip-laden face, ¡°Could Dr. Chen have some unspeakable secret?¡±


    With that single statement, she set the dining table atmosphere ablaze!


    A bunch of gossiping mouths started chattering away.


    Hearing this at the door, Chen Cang was dumbfounded!


    If he didn¡¯t come in, this group would start calling him ¡°Professor Chen from the Stars.¡±


    Lele, with stars in her eyes, said, ¡°Dr. Chen, shall I introduce you to someone?¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, ¡°Just eat your food!¡±


    ¡­


    Wang Qian suddenly laughed and said, ¡°Cang Er, why do you like to drag me along to the ER lately?¡±


    Chang Lina immediately went, ¡°Ewww¡­ Qian¡¯er, you¡¯re disgusting.¡±


    Chen Cang was also taken aback, ¡°Do you want the truth or a lie?¡±


    Wang Qian thought for a moment, ¡°Would a lie be comforting?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Flattery!¡±


    Wang Qian, satisfied to hear that, immediately said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll take the truth.¡±


    Before Chen Cang could speak, Xiao Lin suddenly laughed, ¡°Qian¡¯er, do you know why Dr. Chen sent me back to call you this morning when we went out?¡±


    Wang Qian was startled, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s because of my excellent skills. When we go out for rescues¡­ no one has died, right?¡±


    At that, even Wang Qian was shocked by his own realization!


    ¡°Holy cow, am I that awesome? How come I never noticed!¡±


    Chen Cang covered his face and sighed; this guy¡¯s shamelessness was on par with a deity.


    Xiao Lin immediately burst into laughter, ¡°Of course not; Dr. Chen¡¯s exact words were: ¡®Qian¡¯er has a pale face, bring him along¡­ he can be our mascot, Teacher Ma¡¯s survival today ¨C all thanks to you!''¡±


    Once these words were out, everyone in the office burst into laughter.


    Wang Qian was also at a loss, standing there dumbfounded.


    And Chen Cang scratched his head, embarrassedly smiling, ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to glucose tonight, the all-you-can-drink kind.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Thanks to ¡°Yue Shang Yun Tian¡± brother for the 10,000 reward, thank you!


    Also thanks to QQ reading: ¡°Yi Xiaotang¡± for the 10,000 reward, thank you, everyone.

 Chapter 552 - Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Listening to Crosstalk at the Gym?

    Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Listening to Crosstalk at the Gym?


    Chen Cang summed up his experience!


    Going out with the ambulance once, as long as he successfully brought back patients, he could gain 1000 daily experience points¡ªif he brought back only the body and not the soul, he would only get 200 daily experience points.


    From that time on, whenever Chen Cang went out, he would take Wang Qian with him.


    He found that as long as he took Wang Qian with him, the chances of bringing back body + soul were even higher. Adhering to the service for the people, aiming to improve the success rate of patient resuscitation, and in addition, enhancing his own experience, Wang Qian had now become the treasure of the vehicle!


    In the beginning, Master Yang scoffed at the idea!


    But gradually, he found that it was really strange. Because of this, he deliberately took a photo of Wang Qian and changed his phone¡¯s wallpaper to Wang Qian¡¯s portrait.


    Wang Qian could only offer a bitter smile in response!


    The arrival of December made the weather turn even colder, and the clothes worn by pedestrians on the road were noticeably thicker.


    The recent busyness meant that Chen Cang rarely visited Dongda First Hospital. Today, as Wang Qian was on duty, Chen Cang came out early and headed towards Dongda First Hospital.


    He had just passed the entrance when the old man in the gatehouse said with a smile, ¡°Young man, long time no see.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned and then smiled, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve been busy.¡±


    Just as Chen Cang passed the emergency room, he saw an ambulance parked at the door and Doctor Wu Peng from the emergency department was quickly organizing the rescue operation.


    Out of curiosity, Chen Cang was about to move forward, but just after taking a step, he hesitated and stepped back¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Would his presence worsen the patient¡¯s condition?


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head¡ªhow could that be possible!


    As a new generation successor of socialism, how could he believe in such nonsense!


    With that thought, Chen Cang decided to go in and see if any help was needed.


    He had just walked over when Wu Peng greeted him, ¡°Chen Cang?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Busy?¡±


    Wu Peng nodded and quickly got up and rushed into the resuscitation room.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to disturb, so he prepared to turn around and leave.


    At this moment, a clear voice rang out, ¡°Are you¡­ Dr. Chen Cang from the Provincial Second Hospital?¡±


    Chen Cang turned around and saw a young man, not very old, wearing the uniform of the emergency center standing at the door.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, I am. And you are¡­?¡±


    Upon hearing this, the young man immediately said excitedly, ¡°I am from the City Emergency Center, my name is Lu Bin.¡±


    ¡°Dr. Chen, I¡¯ve heard of you. Now the whole emergency center knows that if there¡¯s an urgent case of severe heart bleeding, you¡¯re the one to look for!¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang immediately smiled awkwardly¡ªthat was a bit too exaggerated.


    But¡­ hearing it was really pleasing to the ears, refreshing.


    ¡°You¡¯re too kind, it¡¯s not as exaggerated as all that,¡± Chen Cang said with a smile.


    Lu Bin shook his head seriously and said, ¡°Really, it¡¯s not just me saying this. This was directly informed to us by Director He during a meeting to make sure we¡¯re ready for coordination and emergency transportation. In such dangerous conditions, we¡¯re either to take the patient to the Cardiovascular Hospital to find Director Qin, or to the Provincial Second Hospital to look for Chen Cang.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was truly flattered!


    Director Qin was referring to Qin Yueming, the president of the Cardiovascular Hospital, who came from an emergency medicine background and was most adept at dealing with cardiothoracic diseases. Along with Wang Xiangjun of Dongda First Hospital, Zhang Peiyi of Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, and Li Baoshan of the Second Provincial Hospital, he was one of the four leading authorities in the emergency field of Anyang.


    However, Qin Yueming¡¯s rank and status were a bit higher, after all, he was the president of the Cardiovascular Hospital.


    When Chen Cang heard his name seemingly on par with Qin Yueming, he wondered if this meant he could go back and tell Director Li Baoshan, ¡°I¡¯m now diamond, and you¡¯re still stuck in platinum!¡±


    Forget it, he should take into consideration the emotions and feelings of the elderly!


    ¡°By the way, Doctor Lu,¡±


    Lu Bin gave a slight smile, ¡°Just call me Xiao Lu. That patient¡¯s story is quite funny!¡±


    Chen Cang was perplexed, ¡°Oh? What happened?¡±


    Lu Bin explained, ¡°We brought this guy in from a gym, where a dumbbell had fallen on his chest causing blunt trauma. He lay on the ground for ages, unable to recover, so the gym staff called 120.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback.


    Indeed, gyms frequently cooperated with the emergency department, since there were always some people who, in addition to their gym membership, needed to routinely ¡®check in¡¯ at the hospital due to injuries sustained while exercising.


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°What exactly happened?¡±


    Lu Bin laughed, ¡°It¡¯s actually quite funny, while others listen to upbeat music when working out, do you know what this guy was listening to?¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, ¡°Something soothing? Sad?¡±


    Lu Bin sighed, ¡°If only he was listening to music, it wouldn¡¯t have been so bad ¨C his earphones were playing a crosstalk by Guo Degang!¡±


    ¡°He laughed so hard that he suddenly got wheezy, went limp, lost his grip on the barbell, and it dropped right onto his chest, scaring everyone around him half to death!¡±


    After hearing that, Chen Cang almost burst out laughing.


    When working out, you could listen to anything but a Guo Degang crosstalk! Even if you listened to the novel ¡°When a Doctor Has a Cheat,¡± it wouldn¡¯t come to this.


    What you¡¯re doing is not amusing yourself, but amusing others!


    Nevertheless, such a barbell accident is quite dangerous and can cause severe injuries, especially in areas dense with vital organs and large blood vessels like the chest.


    ¡°However, the guy didn¡¯t seem to be in serious shape, so he was brought here as the closest facility,¡± Lu Bin said with a smile, ¡°Doctor Chen, may I add you on WeChat?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Sure! Let¡¯s keep in touch.¡±


    Lu Bin nodded, ¡°Haha, Doctor Chen, you¡¯re my idol! My plan was to work at the emergency center for a few years before moving into a hospital setting.¡±


    Curiosity piqued, Chen Cang inquired, ¡°You just graduated, didn¡¯t you?¡±


    Lu Bin nodded, ¡°I graduated last year from Dongyang Medical University¡¯s clinical program. Fortunately, the emergency center was hiring, so I joined. But I still wish to become a surgeon.¡±


    After finishing the conversation, he left in haste together with a colleague who had come out after signing off at the nurse station.


    While Chen Cang was chatting outside, the patient had already finished his chest X-ray quickly.


    They had also called over Bo Jianming, the deputy director of cardiothoracic surgery.


    After serving as a senior attending physician for several years and waiting for an available position, Bo Jianming had finally been promoted to deputy director.


    Wu Peng handed over the X-ray to Bo Jianming, ¡°Director Bo, take a look, any problems? Are any more tests needed?¡±


    Bo Jianming took the X-ray and considered it carefully, ¡°The chest X-ray doesn¡¯t show any serious issues, no obvious abnormalities, it doesn¡¯t seem like the major blood vessels or the heart has been injured.¡±


    ¡°However¡­ we still need follow-up checks, we can¡¯t be careless. Let¡¯s do this, transfer him to cardiothoracic surgery, I¡¯ll have Doctor Zhang take over and rush to complete the relevant exams.¡±

 Chapter 553 - Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Too Eerie!

    Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Too Eerie!


    ¡°`


    Bo Jianming¡¯s words weren¡¯t wrong; for those patients who temporarily have unclear diagnoses but aren¡¯t facing major issues, transferring departments is indeed more appropriate.


    After all, if the patient¡¯s condition is stable, it¡¯s best to quickly free up emergency resources for those who need immediate resuscitation.


    Moreover, once in the specialist department, they can receive better diagnosis and treatment. The doctors there are all specialists, and the cost is generally lower, with different reimbursement rates and other benefits.


    Emergency room expenses are still quite high.


    However, at that moment, Chen Cang looked at the X-ray and suddenly frowned.


    ¡°Can¡­ can I take a look at the X-ray?¡±


    Bo Jianming glanced at Chen Cang and paused slightly, ¡°Young Chen?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Director Bo, hello.¡±


    Bo Jianming nodded and handed over the X-ray, ¡°Hmm, here you go.¡±


    Chen Cang took the X-ray and examined it carefully. He hadn¡¯t seen it very clearly from the back, but now, up close, he could see it much better.


    Indeed, the mediastinal shadow and other signs looked normal on the chest X-ray, and there was no significant bleeding visible.


    But¡­ he spotted something different in a subtle area!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Upon seeing this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Director Bo, I think¡­ perhaps we should do a CT scan and a retrograde aortography first. I¡¯m concerned that the patient might have a tear in the anonymous artery.¡±


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Bo Jianming picked up the X-ray and examined it closely.


    But¡­ he didn¡¯t find any significant features.


    Then he looked at Chen, not with disdain, but said evenly, ¡°If there was damage to the anonymous artery, the X-ray would show an increase in the shadow of the mediastinum on the same side,


    and there would also be disappearance or weakening of the pulse in the radial or carotid arteries on that side, and severe internal bleeding, cardiac tamponade, or tracheal compression could occur almost immediately.¡±


    While speaking, he went with Chen to the resuscitation room and, after checking, found that all pulses were normal. There was no sign of cardiac tamponade or tracheal compression.


    Chen Cang hesitated, had he made a mistake in his thinking?


    But his level of chest imaging examination was impeccable!


    He vaguely recalled that the X-ray might indicate a possible tearing injury of the anonymous artery.


    Reflecting on this, Chen Cang decided he should still raise a reminder.


    ¡°Director Bo, actually not all injuries to the anonymous artery have pronounced X-ray findings. For example, distal injuries can also have a normal pulse, and X-ray features are not obvious, making diagnosis troublesome. So, I still think we should at least take a CT scan first¡­¡±


    Bo Jianming furrowed his brow slightly, apparently somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Cang¡¯s questioning.


    However, he didn¡¯t respond, merely offering a faint smile, ¡°Hmm, I understand.¡±


    Seeing that the patient¡¯s vital signs and blood pressure were normal on the monitor and that they were lucid, Chen Cang didn¡¯t press further.


    Thinking this over, Chen Cang didn¡¯t say more. He had given his reminder, and that¡¯s all that was needed. If only an earlier examination could be done in the emergency room, early detection and preparation could be made.


    If the process of transferring between departments caused any delay, it might unfortunately waste valuable time.


    But¡­ it likely wouldn¡¯t have too much impact.


    So Chen Cang turned and left, heading straight to the cardiothoracic surgery department.


    Seeing this, Wu Peng looked awkwardly at Bo Jianming and said, ¡°Director Bo, shall we¡­ go ahead and do a CT scan first?¡±


    ¡°Do the retrograde aortography later?¡±


    Seeing Wu Peng like this and after looking at the patient, Bo Jianming thought for a moment and then shook his head, ¡°No need¡­¡±


    Just as Bo Jianming was about to speak, Wang Xiangjun walked in.


    ¡°Director!¡±


    ¡°Director Wang!¡±


    They both nodded in greeting.


    ¡°`


    Wang Xiangjun hummed, ¡°What¡¯s the patient¡¯s situation?¡±


    Wu Peng briefed him, then brought out the radiographs.


    After looking at the radiographs, Wang Xiangjun didn¡¯t notice anything but, recalling that Chen Cang had just left, asked, ¡°I just saw Little Chen come by earlier. What was his suggestion?¡±


    Wu Peng said, ¡°Dr. Chen suggested to conduct the examination as soon as possible and then consider transferring departments. He worried about potential injuries to the distal end of the unnamed artery and said that the radiographs don¡¯t show anything¡­¡±


    Bo Jianming laughed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Director, I have it under control.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangjun was immediately stunned.


    Although he clearly knew that there was still a significant gap between Chen Cang and Bo Jianming in terms of experience, insight, and overall level, for some reason, Wang Xiangjun still tended to believe in Chen Cang¡¯s choice.


    With this thought, Wang Xiangjun said, ¡°Little Wu, rush the patient to get a CT scan. To be safe, let¡¯s not risk anything going wrong. Show the images to Dr. Bo as soon as they¡¯re out.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wu Peng promptly nodded and hurriedly wrote a medical order before taking the patient for the examination.


    Emergency examinations are quite swift, equivalent to a green channel of sorts, basically without a need to queue.


    But if sent to the inpatient department, even if it¡¯s labeled ¡°urgent¡±!


    It would still be much slower than emergency.


    Seeing that Wang Xiangjun had personally given instructions, Bo Jianming felt embarrassed to say more and so waited.


    After about fifteen minutes, Wu Peng ran over, out of breath, carrying radiographs.


    Upon seeing Wang Xiangjun and Bo Jianming, he immediately said anxiously, ¡°There really is a problem!¡±


    Upon hearing this, both of them suddenly changed expressions!


    They hurriedly took out the images and indeed, saw something different!


    After seeing it, Bo Jianming was momentarily dumbfounded. Chen Cang had guessed it all!


    No!


    This couldn¡¯t be just a guess; Chen Cang must have noticed something unusual on the X-ray.


    But¡­ this X-ray looks practically normal!


    Could there be some detail that he had missed?


    With this thought, Bo Jianming couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit frightened. It was fortunate they had conducted the examination in time. Had they waited to transfer departments, the patient might not have been in life-threatening danger, but¡­ there would have been a lot of trouble and panic.


    Now, they could handle the situation calmly!


    Prepare for surgery promptly!


    At this moment, although Bo Jianming was reluctant to admit it aloud, he felt a profound sense of admiration and curiosity towards Chen Cang in his heart.


    This Little Chen¡­ really has something.


    Actually, the reason why Chen Cang didn¡¯t specify was because it wasn¡¯t statistically significant. The X-ray was normal, but there were some subtle differences, worth referencing. After all, Chen Cang had reviewed countless radiographs, X-rays, CTs, and understood these details thoroughly!


    And Wang Xiangjun took a deep breath!


    This Little Chen was too uncanny, wasn¡¯t he?


    How could he have noticed that?


    Seeing the expressions of the two, Wu Peng felt a storm of emotions inside. Chen Cang wasn¡¯t old, especially compared to the forty-something Director Bo. He was so much younger.


    But the undeniable evidence right in front of them was thought-provoking.


    Dr. Chen was really amazing, wasn¡¯t he?


    The three exchanged glances, seeing the sentiment and relief in each other¡¯s eyes.


    Wang Xiangjun immediately said, ¡°Check the blood and prepare for surgery right away.¡±

 Chapter 554 - Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Chen Cang? Not Xia Gaofeng?

    Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Chen Cang? Not Xia Gaofeng?


    ¡°`


    Chen Cang returned to the department and greeted Liang Bo, while Ge Huai seemed somewhat downcast, apparently lost in thought.


    Chen Cang understood quite well¡ªafter all, Dr. Ge was quickly approaching his mid-thirties, watching 2020 draw near, his hair thinning more and more, which naturally dampened his spirits considerably!


    Moreover, men, as a species, also have a ¡°biological cycle¡± of sorts, experiencing periodic changes such as hormonal fluctuations over time, which, in turn, come with cyclical mood swings. While different from women¡¯s cycles, the nature isn¡¯t really that different.


    When Meng Xi saw Chen Cang arrive, her eyes lit up, and she smiled, ¡°Oh! Is Director Chen free today?¡±


    Chen Cang immediately felt sheepish, ¡°Hello, Teacher Meng.¡±


    Meng Xi smiled, ¡°Hello, of course, let¡¯s go, it¡¯s just the right time for rounds.¡±


    ¡°Dr. Ge, let¡¯s go round the wards, check on patient number 15, and prepare for surgery.¡±


    Upon hearing Meng Xi¡¯s words, Ge Huai quickly stood up, his expression instantly changing from gloomy to sunny.


    He hastily grabbed his phone and wrote in his journal:


    ¡°December 1st, Director Meng finally smiled today, the gloom of the week has finally cleared, the sun shines once again¡­¡±


    Above it was, ¡°The 8th day of Director Meng being unhappy, today, my mood suddenly turned very sour¡­¡±


    Seeing Teacher Meng happy made Ge Huai extremely cheerful, even though there was an irrelevant person, Chen Cang, in between them.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    But that didn¡¯t matter.


    The monotonous ward rounds came alive with Director Meng¡¯s smiles. Ge Huai performed exceptionally today, sharing three different types of humor with the patients, lifting their spirits. If there had been a system for doctors to rate, he would have strived for a five-star effort just now.


    Chen Cang followed quietly, not making a sound, learning and training just by observing Meng Xi and Ge Huai make their rounds.


    Clinical work isn¡¯t just about surgery; it includes diagnosis, communication, and so on¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After the spiral CT scan, Bo Jianming decided not to do angiography, but to go straight for exploratory thoracic surgery.


    It might have been the most straightforward and effective method.


    Wang Xiangjun didn¡¯t participate in the surgery, so Bo Jianming called the junior physician, Dr. Zhang, also referred to as Scholar Two.


    Now in cardiac surgery, the senior physicians lead teams, each associate chief physician overseeing a few junior doctors, managing patients and surgeries together.


    If it were an injury to the nameless artery, Bo Jianming wouldn¡¯t be too worried.


    Although it posed some difficulty, it wasn¡¯t insurmountable!


    With both him and Scholar Two, they could basically handle it, and Wu Peng from emergency also joined the surgery.


    Before starting the surgery, while scrubbing in, Bo Jianming¡¯s mind still flashed with Chen Cang¡¯s face¡ªsurprised and somewhat regretful.


    Actually, to be precise, Bo Jianming and Meng Xi could even have been considered competitors, rivals from a year ago.


    After all, back then when the associate director of the department was poached by a private hospital with a high salary, the most frequent hospital job-hoppers were the ¡°associate directors.¡±


    Becoming the inadvertent casualty of departmental power struggles, receiving a ¡°consolation prize¡± of the associate director role, one could truly become a scapegoat, a model worker¡­ and so on.


    Think about it, if your competitor becomes the director, will your days be easy?


    Moreover, the capabilities of an associate director are definitely beyond question¡ªotherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to compete for the director position.


    Of course, this was just one scenario.


    For the younger generation, becoming the associate director of a department still signifies the endorsement and grooming by the leadership.


    Hospitals value a hierarchy in talent, fearing most the occurrence of a generational gap.


    Therefore, hospitals select some outstanding middle-tier personnel to become associate directors of departments.


    At that time, Bo Jianming was such a core force and star of tomorrow.


    However, the star of tomorrow could never outshine a meteor falling from the sky.


    In face of Meng Xi¡¯s strong, sudden descent, securing achievements in ¡°The Lancet¡± and national natural science foundation projects within a year, Bo Jianming lost convincingly.


    Bo Jianming thought to himself, how unfair fate can be!


    Would it have been enough just to be proficient and hold impressive credentials? Why did one also have to be so good-looking?


    How could I, as a competitor, bear this?


    Merely seeing you deflates my ambition, leaving no energy for competition¡­


    And to top it all off, why did you have to find such an excellent student?


    ¡°`


    At the thought, Bo Jianming felt this woman must have bribed God with a hefty sum during the creation of man!


    The surgery began!


    Bo Jianming shook his head and took the scalpel.


    Scholar Two was very sensible and prepared to assist.


    Through the CT images, they had already pinpointed the approximate location of the laceration. Bo Jianming picked up the scalpel and started the incision in the center of the chest, then slowly extended it toward the wounded side of the neck.


    This area¡¯s surgery could easily damage other tissues and nerves, and Bo Jianming operated with utmost care.


    The incision for this surgery, unlike the usual ones, required a thoracocervical approach to expose the aortic arch and its branches.


    This was a technique that truly tested the skill level of a cardiothoracic surgeon.


    The incision was neither too large nor too small, but very accurate.


    Bo Jianming¡¯s surgical skills were indeed very solid!


    The unnamed vein was enveloped within the pericardium, making it prone to causing cardiac tamponade after an injury.


    As soon as he had opened the pericardium, Bo Jianming immediately said to Scholar Two, ¡°Prepare the irrigation fluid!¡±


    Sure enough, as soon as the incision was made, blood began steadily seeping out from the deeply abraded unnamed vein.


    But at that moment!


    Bo Jianming was surprised to discover something, he found that the pericardium was not being cut cleanly¡­


    Was this¡­ constrictive pericarditis?


    And it was a complex case of constrictive pericarditis.


    At that moment, Bo Jianming suddenly understood!


    No wonder!


    No wonder this condition was present. The occurrence of this constrictive pericarditis, which had enveloped the already damaged unnamed artery, prevented the injured unnamed artery from bleeding profusely¡­


    Could this be possible?


    The human body truly is a complex affair.


    The patient had repeatedly claimed that past medical examinations revealed no other illness.


    Isn¡¯t that a lie?


    The constrictive pericarditis had already progressed to this extent.


    To repair the damaged unnamed vein, the first major challenge they faced was how to loosen the constricted pericardium.


    Ordinary constrictive pericarditis is not difficult to deal with, but dealing with this level of adhesions, in addition to the unnamed vein injury, was incredibly stressful!


    Bo Jianming felt there was something uncanny about this. How could an ordinary unnamed artery injury be complicated by constrictive pericarditis?


    Was his luck that bad?


    Why hadn¡¯t he noticed this before?


    This was truly bizarre!


    Strange things happen every day, but today, there¡¯s an abundance of them!


    With this thought, an image appeared in Bo Jianming¡¯s mind¡­


    Chen Cang!


    Yes!


    He had personally witnessed Chen Cang performing pericardiectomy in front of a group of department heads, doing even better than the senior surgeons!


    With this in mind, he glanced at Scholar Two, ¡°Call Chen Cang!¡±


    Scholar Two was taken aback, ¡°Chen Cang? Isn¡¯t it Chief Xia Gaofeng?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: Hehe, today we have a new Alliance Hierarch ¡°Soul Merged with Alcohol¡±. Thank you for your 100,000 reward.


    Also thanks to ¡°Gardenia Language Lan¡± for another 10,000 reward, you¡¯ve become an elder now.


    And thanks to the new friend ¡°Snow Kite¡± for your 10,000 reward, thank you!

 Chapter 555 - Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Im Not Angry!

    Chapter 555: Chapter 555: I¡¯m Not Angry!


    When Teacher Meng¡¯s group of three was making rounds, suddenly a young nurse hurriedly ran in.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, there¡¯s been a problem with the surgery, Director Bo wants you to rush to the operating room immediately.¡±


    That single sentence instantly stunned all three of them.


    Chen Cang was also a bit taken aback and pointed to himself, ¡°Me? Are you sure?¡±


    The nurse nodded, ¡°Yes, it was Dr. Zhang who told me, he emphasized three times, it¡¯s Doctor Chen Cang, not Director Meng Xi, and definitely not Ge Huai.¡±


    With that remark, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.


    Although it¡¯s unsure if being eloquent can put food on the table, certainly having no tact means no food at all!


    Meng Xi¡¯s eyelid twitched, he would be in charge next month, and it would be Zhang Dai¡¯s turn with his group. This lad, it seemed, still lacked a lesson!


    Wasn¡¯t this blatantly saying that Director Meng wasn¡¯t as good as Doctor Chen?


    Although that might be logical, didn¡¯t saying it out loud make one¡¯s blood boil?


    If Director Meng was just harboring a grudge, then Ge Huai had already reached the point where his atrium was nearly trembling with anger.


    What does ¡°definitely not Ge Huai¡± mean!


    And to emphasize it three times!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    You, Zhang Dai, a loser under my command, have you ever outsewed me? Always slandering me for not being as fast as you!


    Chen Cang was startled, glanced at the two of them, ¡°Um¡­ Teacher Meng, then I¡¯ll head down first.¡±


    Meng Xi smiled and nodded, ¡°Go ahead, we have our own surgery in a bit. You can just wait for me downstairs, no need to come back up.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    After he left, Meng Xi and Ge Huai returned to the office.


    Ge Huai looked at Meng Xi worriedly, ¡°Director Meng, don¡¯t be angry.¡±


    Meng Xi was startled, ¡°Me, angry? Why would I be angry?¡±


    Pop!


    Upon hearing the pop, Meng Xi felt the buttons of his white coat fall to the floor.


    Seeing this, Ge Huai suddenly paused, then quickly backed away¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang hurried down, washed his hands, and entered the operating room.


    When the nurse saw Chen Cang come in, she hurriedly helped him put on the surgical gown, a treatment that made Scholar Two envious!


    In the eyes of the resident doctors, being helped into a surgical gown by a nurse was a source of immense pride. Unfortunately, Scholar Two had never enjoyed such treatment.


    After Chen Cang arrived, Bo Jianming hurriedly said, ¡°Little Chen, you¡¯re here.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Director Bo, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Bo Jianming suddenly felt a bit embarrassed; after all¡­ it was quite humiliating to admit this kind of thing.


    Mingming Chen Cang had already warned him, but he hadn¡¯t listened. Now, upon examination, there indeed was a problem.


    This meant that Chen Cang¡¯s skills in reading films were far superior to his own!


    His understanding of the images had risen to a new level, noticing the smallest details and deducing many issues from them.


    Off to the side, Wu Peng deeply admired Chen Cang!


    Chen Cang had only been to the emergency department a few times, but each time, he was filled with impressive style, rescuing patients from dire straits.


    Although Chen Cang seldom came to the emergency department!


    But, everywhere in the emergency department, there were legendary stories of Chen Cang¡¯s impressive feats.


    So strong!


    No wonder Director Wang Xiangjun trusted Chen Cang so much.


    All trust was built upon the foundation of strength.


    Bo Jianming smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°After you left, Director Wang came over. To be safe, we decided to do a CT scan first, but we didn¡¯t expect that once the images were taken, the problems would become apparent.¡±


    ¡°Chen, you¡¯re too incredible, how did you notice something was different here?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled faintly, ¡°I guessed it, felt something was off, especially at the junction between the pericardium and the anonymous artery, it always seemed a bit different than usual, even though there weren¡¯t typical signs of cardiac tamponade, and the mediastinal shadow wasn¡¯t clear¡­ I suspected it might be an injury to the anonymous artery entangled with the pericardium, but¡­ it turned out to be okay.¡±


    With one sentence from Chen Cang, all three people present were stunned!


    This¡­ this is even possible?


    Keep in mind that they just had Chen Cang come to the operating room, without saying a word about the surgical situation!


    Yet Chen Cang¡¯s explanation almost completely described the patient¡¯s condition.


    Injury to the anonymous artery entangled with the pericardium!


    All from just an X-ray?


    Bo Jianming couldn¡¯t help but swallow hard!


    Gulp¡­


    Scholar Two swallowed twice¡­ Gulp gulp¡­


    No wonder the nurse was dressing him!


    I¡¯m not worthy!


    Wu Peng wanted to swallow to calm his shock, but found his mouth dry; in his astonishment, he had had his mouth open too long, and it had dried up¡­


    This is way too strong, right?


    Could it be that we have some misunderstanding about X-rays?


    Is there some sort of dimensional gap in our understanding of X-rays?


    Helpless!


    The three of them sighed in unison.


    You have to admit, being able to guess a patient¡¯s condition from just a single film, that would make diagnosis much more precise and convenient, saving a lot of detours.


    Bo Jianming outright said, ¡°Chen, you are amazing!¡±


    ¡°The patient¡¯s anonymous artery has suffered a contused laceration, but the reason why it hasn¡¯t caused a problem, and why the imaging results show no abnormal fluctuations, is actually due to the pericardium!¡±


    ¡°The adhesions of the pericardium just happened to wrap around the site of injury to the anonymous artery, creating a result where the anonymous artery has not yet caused major bleeding, but the patient has constrictive pericarditis!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up!


    Complicated cases of constrictive pericarditis monster + anonymous artery injury monster!


    That¡¯s right up his alley!


    Chen Cang stepped forward, and Scholar Two hurriedly moved aside to the assistant¡¯s position, making room for Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Thank you, Dr. Zhang.¡±


    Scholar Two couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it.¡±


    By now, the pericardium had been incised, and the blood that appeared had been suctioned out.


    Chen Cang held the forceps and carefully inspected.


    Shortly after, he had a plan in mind.


    The pericardial adhesions were very severe, but now was not the time for constrictive pericarditis surgery; what should be done first was to repair the injury to the anonymous artery, followed by the surgery for pericarditis.


    But this increased the difficulty of repairing the anonymous artery injury significantly.


    Due to the limited view and operable range of the surgery, one needs a sufficient understanding of the anonymous artery and effective control over the operation.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang shared his thoughts with the three others.


    Bo Jianming looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, your idea is good, but¡­ this surgery is going to be very difficult, the pericardial adhesions can¡¯t be cut, and because of that, the operable space may not be enough¡­ I¡¯m worried there might be problems.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Well¡­ how about I give it a try?¡±


    Indeed, in Chen Cang¡¯s system training space, he had seen all sorts of bizarre cases, and when it came to repairing an injury to the anonymous artery, Chen Cang was skilled.


    Now, upon hearing Chen Cang say let me try¡­


    It dawned on everyone that the show was about to begin, so they widened their eyes in anticipation of the shock!


    Chen Cang sighed, it was a shame Teacher Meng wasn¡¯t here, otherwise¡­

 Chapter 556 - Chapter 556: Chapter 556: A Teacher Without Good Disciples Is Not a Good Teacher

    Chapter 556: Chapter 556: A Teacher Without Good Disciples Is Not a Good Teacher


    Chen Cang turned to glance at the young nurse!


    Her smile was blooming like a flower as she handed over the scalpel.


    Chen Cang took it from her, and the nurse seized the opportunity to touch his hand, her heart pounding with excitement.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Touching my hand is useless, it¡¯s too dark¡­¡±


    Right¡­


    Chen Cang thought of an excellent idea, to thoroughly rub Quian Ge after he got back and catch some of his luck!


    At this moment, Wu Peng suddenly said, ¡°This patient is so lucky to have encountered Doctor Chen, otherwise¡­ the trouble would have been really big.¡±


    Bo Jianming nodded in agreement, giving it some thought, it was true, if no one had taken notice, the surgery would have been quite troublesome by now.


    As this comment reached Chen Cang¡¯s ears, he suddenly saw the light!


    Right!


    It¡¯s not that my damn face is dark, it¡¯s that these patients are lucky, to have met me!


    Chen Cang suddenly felt happy.


    At that moment, the door to the operating room suddenly opened.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Chen Cang looked up to see, was it Teacher Meng?


    Even Bo Jianming was somewhat astonished.


    After all, although the two had long ceased being competitors, their relationship was usually no more than lukewarm at best.


    The most they would do upon meeting was smile and greet each other.


    They rarely worked together on surgeries, let alone anything else.


    Meng Xi had unexpectedly come to seek him out¡­


    Could it be¡­ she wanted to turn their rivalry into friendship?


    At this thought, Bo Jianming, who was in his forties, couldn¡¯t help but smile, thinking a lot, but feeling that he still couldn¡¯t abandon his wife, hmm, one should have principles and bottom lines.


    After Meng Xi came in and got dressed, she walked over: ¡°Director Bo, hello, I came to check on this operation, you don¡¯t mind, do you?¡±


    Bo Jianming shook his head and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure to have Director Meng here, I¡¯m naturally more at ease.¡±


    Chen Cang, scalpel in his left hand and separating forceps in his right, said to Bo Jianming, ¡°Director Bo, give me a hand.¡±


    Bo Jianming promptly nodded!


    Chen Cang first needed to make an incision between the pericardium and the brachiocephalic artery, fully exposing all of the brachiocephalic artery.


    This step is very simple under normal circumstances, achievable with just a gentle cut.


    But now it was different, due to the constrictive pericarditis, the pericardium was severely adhesed, making a clean cut difficult while also ensuring that the brachiocephalic artery wouldn¡¯t be damaged!


    The difficulty was much greater than with just constrictive pericarditis!


    He had taught Meng Xi, but he didn¡¯t know if she had learned it or not?


    After Chen Cang made a careful incision, it was then necessary to protect the left brachiocephalic vein, separating and isolating it as you go!


    The vein was being isolated!


    The pericardial adhesion being separated!


    Chen Cang definitely couldn¡¯t manage it alone.


    He looked up, glancing at Bo Jianming, then at Meng Xi, and said, ¡°You separate the pericardial adhesion, be careful. I¡¯ll isolate the vein!¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, a bit nervous, feeling like a student about to be tested by a teacher.


    Helpless!


    Chen Cang said to Bo Jianming, ¡°Give me the suture material.¡±


    Bo Jianming frowned, ¡°Suture material?¡±


    What does he need suture material for at this time?


    Chen Cang remained silent, because the next steps were rather delicate.


    Meng Xi glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡±


    Everyone was curiously staring at Chen Cang, eager to know what he was about to do!


    Just at that moment, Chen Cang carefully folded the suture material into three segments with his fingers, then reached deep into the left brachiocephalic vein and carefully made a steady pull!


    Instantly, the entire brachiocephalic vein was isolated by Chen Cang!


    At that moment, the separation of Meng Xi¡¯s pericardium became much easier!


    At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded!


    As the person most involved, Meng Xi felt the weight lift off her shoulders.


    After all, fearing the tiger in front and the wolf behind, failure to separate well spells disaster.


    Now, Chen Cang¡¯s skillful dissection greatly reduced the difficulty of the entire surgery!


    Meng Xi only needed to make a small incision, which allowed the repair of the damage to the anonymous artery to be much more reassuring.


    Bo Jianming was instantly overjoyed!


    He had stealthily learned another trick!


    He had covertly acquired yet another skill!


    It was truly too thrilling.


    These small techniques were genuine dry goods, surgical finesse not found in textbooks or surgical videos, but practical tricks summarized by the surgeons themselves.


    Scholar Two was even happier!


    He now understood why Ge Huai kept following Director Meng and Chen Cang like a loyal dog every day¡ªhe had misunderstood him before. Ge Huai was really cunning and deceitful, feigning the posture of a fawning dog to get close to Director Meng, all to obtain Chen Cang¡¯s true teachings!


    It seemed to be just so, after all, was it just a woman? Could she be that irresistible?


    In the eyes of a top student, only knowledge was truly intoxicating!


    Suddenly, Scholar Two looked forward to it; next month, Director Meng would come to his team. By then, he would have to learn well from Ge Huai.


    Despite the small incision in the pericardium, there was still active bleeding at the base of the anonymous artery.


    Chen Cang said to Scholar Two, ¡°Teacher Zhang, use the sidewall clamp to occlude the aorta just below the base of the anonymous artery to temporarily control the bleeding.¡±


    Scholar Two nodded quickly!


    The wound was not large, and there were no signs of cerebral ischemia after occluding the base of the anonymous artery, allowing for direct suture of the laceration after occlusion at the proximal and distal ends of the artery.


    However, this required high suturing skills from the surgeon.


    But Chen Cang¡¯s vascular suturing skill and proficiency were improving more and more!


    Taking the suture thread, he quickly began suturing.


    Scholar Two was awestruck once again!


    Bo Jianming also sighed and shook his head, ¡°That was too fast! Chen, your vascular suturing is really amazing.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and remained silent.


    During the repair time, it took Chen Cang less than 2 minutes to complete everything.


    Upon releasing the hemostatic clamp, blood flow immediately resumed.


    Everyone finally sighed with relief¡ªthe surgery was over.


    And now, what was needed was the separation of the pericardium, to perform surgery for constrictive pericarditis.


    Chen Cang looked at Teacher Meng, ¡°Teacher Meng, will you do it?¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, having made significant progress through learning during this period.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang noticed that Teacher Meng during surgery¡­


    Actually had a kind of silly and cute feeling¡­ like a koala?


    No, that¡¯s not right¡­ What does it resemble?


    In Bo Jianming¡¯s eyes, Meng Xi¡¯s progress was tremendous.


    All this because he had a good disciple!


    Hmm¡­


    A good disciple that could help the teacher improve?


    It sounded a bit odd, but¡­ this was the truth!


    The surgery was quickly coming to an end.


    For everyone present, Chen Cang¡¯s technique of line rope separation was brilliantly executed!


    People looked at Chen Cang, unable to stop praising him!


    Chen Cang, observing Meng Xi¡¯s surgery, couldn¡¯t help but facepalm and shake his head.


    Seeing this, Meng Xi immediately glared fiercely, the implication clear without words: if you dare to say anything now, I¡¯ll finish you!


    Chen Cang shook his head, let it be, let it be, no matter how great a woman¡¯s matter is, she is still a petty woman¡­


    How does that saying go?


    Only the petty woman is difficult to bring up!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Thank you to the ¡°provocation¡± from QQ reading the old classmate for the 20,000 reward, during this period, there should be exams!

 Chapter 557 - Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Do You Want to Be the Second in Command?

    Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Do You Want to Be the Second in Command?


    The surgery ended, very smoothly!


    Or perhaps it would be more apt to say, unexpectedly smoothly.


    Bo Jianming glanced at Chen Cang, seemingly deep in thought, wanting to say something, but then looked at Meng Xi and hesitated, ultimately holding back.


    He really wanted to ask Chen Cang a question, what was the real reason for choosing Meng Xi as a mentor?


    Was it solely because Meng Xi was outstanding in scientific research?


    Bo Jianming didn¡¯t think so; he believed that what drew Chen Cang to Meng Xi wasn¡¯t that 140 IQ but rather that¡­


    However, such personal matters, Bo Jianming naturally wouldn¡¯t probe further!


    After all, it was someone else¡¯s private issue, and thinking of this, Bo Jianming sighed, ¡°Youth is great!


    However, you need not only youth but also strength!


    With this in mind, Bo Jianming looked at Chen Cang teasingly and said, ¡°Little Chen, study hard with Teacher Meng, The things Teacher Meng knows, you won¡¯t be able to learn in a lifetime!¡±


    After speaking, he gave Chen Cang a look that all men understand, smiled, and left.


    Seeing this, Scholar Two hurriedly followed.


    Zhang Dai believed that a genius like Chen Cang would definitely not be fixated on such carnal pleasures, and even if he liked Teacher Meng, it was in a way that was above base interests.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?0


    Bo Jianming gave his white coat to Zhang Dai to take to the office, and then left for the day.


    Wu Peng looked at Chen Cang with gratitude, ¡°Doctor Chen, it¡¯s thanks to you again today!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°You¡¯re too kind, we¡¯re just helping each other!¡±


    After washing his hands, Chen Cang began to tally up his earnings from the operation!


    Ding! Success in performing a constrictive inflammation surgery and an unnamed artery injury repair, comprehensive settlement, reward received: 1. Experience +1.5w; 2. Obtained Artificial Blood Vessel Replacement Surgery (Master level); 3. Obtained Stamina Potion +1;


    Seeing the system rewards, Chen Cang¡¯s heart was trembling!


    Such great stuff!


    A stamina attribute?


    Was this the first time Chen Cang ever received a reward for the stamina attribute?


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang was exhilarated.


    What about purple Skill Books!


    What about experience!


    Was there anything better than a stamina potion?


    Although he wasn¡¯t sure what effects it might have, Chen Cang felt that stamina and physical strength were very different!


    These are things everyone should understand!


    Stamina Potion: After ingestion, permanently increases stamina attribute by +1!


    And it¡¯s permanent!


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes sparkled, and he sported a lewd smile¡­


    Making Meng Xi, who was by his side, pause for a moment.


    ¡°What are you daydreaming about?¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly came to his senses, laughing awkwardly, ¡°Daydreaming about Meng? No no! That¡¯s not right! Not at all! What are you thinking about, Teacher Meng? Besides, it¡¯s not daytime now, it¡¯s past eight, the sky is already dark¡­¡±


    Listening to him, Meng Xi felt that Chen Cang¡¯s words were a bit incoherent and strange.


    But it didn¡¯t matter, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we have a surgery tonight, it¡¯s an aortic stenosis surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded his head.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Zhang Dai returned to the office and suddenly found that both Scholar Three and Ge Huai were still there, not having left work yet.


    Ge Huai, looking gloomy, saw Zhang Dai come back and suddenly said, ¡°Old Zhang, what do you think is the real reason Chen Cang wants to take Director Meng as his mentor? I always feel something¡¯s off!¡±


    Scholar Three, without changing his expression, pricked up his ears but remained silent.


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Dai frowned, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Ge Huai nodded, ¡°Yeah! I think that kid, Chen Cang, definitely has ulterior motives. He didn¡¯t seek out Director Tao Zi as his mentor but insisted on coming to our hospital to report to Director Meng! It¡¯s clear he¡¯s coveting Director Meng¡¯s body!¡±


    As he said this, Ge Huai clenched his teeth with resentment. Before Chen Cang arrived, Director Meng used to take him along for surgeries, but ever since Chen Cang came, Director Meng gradually began to distance himself from him¡­


    Ah¡­


    Whenever he thought about this, Ge Huai¡¯s heart would fill with even more sorrow.


    In fact, he had totally misunderstood Director Meng. Director Meng¡¯s reason for not letting him assist was clearly out of fear that he would be criticized by Chen Cang, affecting Director Meng¡¯s image and status within the department¡­


    Zhang Dai was now one of Chen Cang¡¯s supporters. Ever since he witnessed Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, Chen Cang¡¯s standing in his eyes had rapidly risen. How could Doctor Chen be such a philistine?


    Doctor Chen must surely be like himself, diligently studying to improve his surgical skills. Even if we did covet Director Meng¡¯s body, it would be standing upon the lofty goal of improving children¡¯s genes and fighting for the cause of human health for a lifetime!


    How could Ge Huai understand our ideals?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the operating room, with the patient yet to be brought in, Meng Xi took out the angiographic images of the patient, turned to Chen Cang, and said, ¡°Do you see this? This segment is quite long and definitely needs to be excised. My current idea is to cut this part out and then replace it with a prosthetic blood vessel. Do you have any thoughts?¡±


    Meng Xi still greatly respected Chen Cang, discussing the surgery with him earnestly.


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t have any thoughts.¡±


    Meng Xi suddenly looked at Chen Cang, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you perform a prosthetic blood vessel replacement before. I¡¯ll teach you today!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Actually¡­ I might know how!¡±


    Chen Cang glanced at the newly appeared Skill Book, hesitated for a moment, and chose to activate it directly.


    Yes!


    Now he truly knew how.


    But looking at the confident light in Teacher Meng¡¯s eyes, he sighed. Well, let¡¯s just pretend I don¡¯t know.


    Meng Xi glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Pay close attention. In fact, prosthetic blood vessel replacement isn¡¯t really a specialized surgery, but it¡¯s widely used clinically nowadays. I feel it might come up in the upcoming competition, as it¡¯s an indispensable part of major cardiac blood vessel surgeries.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and suddenly asked, ¡°Teacher Meng, are you participating in the competition too?¡±


    Meng Xi naturally nodded, ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll be representing Dongda First Hospital.¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly looked at Meng Xi, ¡°Teacher Meng¡­ do you want to be second?¡±


    Meng Xi was startled, ¡°Second? Why would I want to be second?¡±


    Chen Cang matter-of-factly stated, ¡°Because I am the first!¡±


    Meng Xi, looking at the somewhat inflated ego of Chen Cang, couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Little Chen, you¡¯re being too arrogant. Not to mention Dongyang [city] not making the top ten every year, just within the province, there are still many excellent doctors!¡±


    ¡°At your age of thirty-five, you¡¯re not at an advantage.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t participate in last year¡¯s competition, but the most dazzling was Guo Yunfei from our Dongyang Provincial Cardiovascular hospital. Unfortunately, he encountered a senior attending physician from the Capital¡¯s Jishuitan in the second round. Otherwise, he could have achieved quite a decent result.¡±


    ¡°This year has a big chance for him. Forget the national competition; to enter the national regionals, you must place in the top three in the province, and then you can represent Dongyang Province.¡±


    At this point, Meng Xi thought Chen Cang would show some surprise, but unfortunately, Chen Cang was very calm.


    This kid, where does his confidence come from?


    Meng Xi suddenly said, ¡°You want me to be second?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°That depends on whether you¡¯re willing or not!¡±

 Chapter 558 - Chapter 558: Chapter 558: The Body Tells the Truth Again!

    Chapter 558: Chapter 558: The Body Tells the Truth Again!


    Chen Cang was feeling a bit of regret now!


    He suddenly realized that bragging was truly not a good habit.


    Watching Teacher Meng¡¯s koala-like movements, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh!


    ¡°Teacher Meng, how many times have I told you, here, for artificial blood vessel replacement, what needs to be considered is the smoothness between end-to-end anastomosis, you should choose continuous through-and-through suturing, this way¡­¡±


    ¡°Speed! It¡¯s too slow¡­ ah!¡±


    ¡°Also, the spacing between sutures, yes, even, why are yours still slanted? My goodness¡­ what are you nervous about?¡±


    ¡­


    Meng Xi didn¡¯t say a word, she realized, Chen Cang really knew how to perform artificial blood vessel replacement surgery.


    And not just knew, but definitely did it better than she did.


    Finally, under Chen Cang¡¯s guidance, Meng Xi managed to complete the suturing on one end.


    When checking the results, she found that Chen Cang¡¯s method was really quite good.


    Chen Cang was always able to identify her detail mistakes and remind her.


    However, the only thing was, this guy was too fierce when scolding!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.?¦Ï


    ¡°Can¡¯t you mention my strengths? When I taught you, it was by encouraging, what are you shouting for!¡± Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but glare at Chen Cang.


    The nurse and anesthesiologist next to them struggled not to laugh.


    What was clearly a rather serious surgery had become a lot more relaxed at this moment.


    But that wasn¡¯t a bad thing.


    The anesthesiologist knew clearly, Meng Xi¡¯s surgical suturing under Chen Cang¡¯s guidance, indeed had improved from before.


    It showed in the details of the suturing and the pacing of the speed.


    Hearing Meng Xi¡¯s words, Chen Cang pondered for a long time and then said, ¡°Hmm¡­ It¡¯s not like there are no strengths.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi¡¯s eyes widened immediately: ¡°What?¡±


    Chen Cang thought for a moment: ¡°I haven¡¯t thought of any yet, I¡¯ll tell you after the surgery¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Meng Xi felt frustrated with a surge of emotion, but still took a deep breath. Thinking about today¡¯s white coat, Meng Xi¡¯s heart pinched, and she decided to let the housekeeper sew the button back on when she got home!


    ¡°Come on, here¡¯s the needle, you do it!¡± Meng Xi was naturally a bit displeased, actually feeling that her suturing was already above par, yet still not up to Chen Cang¡¯s satisfaction.


    Chen Cang shook his head and took over the needle and thread.


    ¡°Watch closely.¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang carefully began to suture.


    He chose the same three-point suturing method as Meng Xi, continuous as well.


    ¡°You see, first you need to learn how to depress the needle, so that when it enters, it can better preserve the inner wall of the blood vessel without causing damage! And then¡­¡±


    It goes without saying, Chen Cang¡¯s suturing was really much better than Meng Xi¡¯s.


    However, the group of nurses and anesthesiologists had long since gotten used to this unusual master-apprentice pair.


    Although most of the time it was Chen Cang teaching and guiding Meng Xi, he always addressed her as Teacher Meng.


    After finishing the suturing, Chen Cang said, ¡°Release the hemostat, let¡¯s see the result.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, opened it, and her eyes immediately went wide!


    ¡°No bleeding!¡±


    ¡°And no narrowing¡­¡±


    ¡°Not bad at all!¡±


    Seeing Meng Xi like this, the anesthesiologist couldn¡¯t help but cough, recalling the first time they saw the role reversal between the two, they were somewhat incredulous, thinking they must have administered the anesthesia wrong, to themselves, but now¡­ they were used to it.


    ¡°Chen Cang, you are amazing!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Hmm, I know.¡±


    Meng Xi: ¡­


    Anesthesiologist: ¡­


    Nurse: 666.


    [Ding! Meng Xi¡¯s favorability has increased by +20. Current favorability: 100; Reminder: Favorability has reached 100, please spend it as soon as possible, otherwise you cannot continue to increase favorability.]


    Chen Cang was taken aback, so this could increase affection too, and just like that, it hit 100?


    It seems that women always say one thing and mean another!


    Scolding me with their mouths!


    But actually, their bodies are very honest, even adding 20 points of affection!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, and casually opened the Skill Book, choosing to exchange for the three remaining skills needed for the competition.


    [Subclavian Artery Repair Technique]


    [Vena Cava Injury Repair Technique]


    [Aorto-Caval Fistula Repair Technique]


    After Chen Cang exchanged them, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.


    Because with this, he basically had the full set of thoracic major vessel surgeries for the competition.


    All three were level-three surgeries, and Chen Cang spent 60 points of affection, leaving forty points in reserve.


    It was a fruitful return!


    The surgery ended, and while washing his hands,


    Meng Xi actually felt very grateful to Chen Cang, because his pointers just now had given her an epiphany.


    She broke free from her previous mental framework and established a new concept for vascular suturing.


    It was a great gain!


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang: ¡°You haven¡¯t told me yet, what are my strong points?¡±


    Chen Cang thought for a long time, frowned, and said, ¡°Broad-minded, good mentality, able to humbly acknowledge one¡¯s flaws¡­ all in all, quite a few!¡±


    Meng Xi was startled, watching Chen Cang¡¯s retreating figure, lost in thought: Broad-minded? Hmm¡­ quite perceptive¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After returning home, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t wait and chose to start learning directly.


    Up until now, Chen Cang had acquired all the skills for thoracic cardiovascular surgery!


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t even bother to wash up, and immediately began the simulation training for the first skill.


    It had to be said that from the initial Aortic Repair Technique to now, Chen Cang had made significant gains with every intensive training session, feeling that he had come to know the thoracic major vessels better than at the start.


    Time flew by, and when the system¡¯s notification sound rang out, he exited the training space.


    Chen Cang quickly started learning the next one!


    Suddenly, he felt that different vessels actually required a lot of consideration when choosing how to repair them, including the vessel¡¯s shape and function¡ªthese were crucial. Suturing was not just about pursuing morphological integrity but also required considering the growth of the vessel and many other factors¡­


    Time passed quickly, and when he had finished learning all the skills, Chen Cang took a deep breath!


    He was on the verge of grasping a clue!


    He felt that, amidst the seemingly complex web of vessels, there were still many connections, though some were elusive.


    By now, his thoracic cardiovascular surgery repairs had all reached the master level!


    But Chen Cang felt this was not enough!


    To win the national competition, he needed a breakthrough.


    Break through the master level to achieve perfection!


    Lying in bed, Chen Cang took a deep breath; if he could achieve a breakthrough and grasp the feeling of perfection before the national competition, it would be easier to make other breakthroughs afterwards.


    After all, though these surgeries might seem numerous, they were ultimately just Large Vessel Suturing Techniques.


    As he lay down to sleep, Chen Cang suddenly glanced at the date.


    He was suddenly taken aback!


    December 1st?


    Qin Yue¡¯s birthday was coming up¡­


    Chen Cang clearly remembered that Qin Yue¡¯s birthday was on December 5th, and with the birthday approaching, he suddenly felt that he should prepare something special.


    After all, it was their first birthday together since they had become a couple!

 Chapter 559 - Chapter 559: Chapter 559: How to Explain!

    Chapter 559: Chapter 559: How to Explain!


    In the morning, Chen Cang sat in his office, racking his brains wondering how to give Qin Yue a brilliant rather than romantic, unforgettable, and endlessly memorable birthday.


    Tao Zi¡¯s phone suddenly rang, startling Chen Cang.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, come to my office, the announcement for the competition is out.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang quickly got up and scurried toward the cardiothoracic surgery office!


    Just off the elevator, he came face to face with Qian Lin and Student A, who were busy at work.


    The two also saw Chen Cang¡¯s unexpected arrival.


    Qian Lin heightened his vigilance and looked at Chen Cang with suspicion, ¡°Teacher Chen¡­ You should be passing by the eighth floor on your way to the ninth, right?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and shook his head, ¡°No, I¡¯m here for the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery!¡±


    Student A and Qian Lin exchanged glances, ¡°Teacher Chen, you¡­ you¡¯re not here to see the director, are you?¡±


    Chen Cang was again startled and nodded, ¡°Yes, I am here to see Director Tao!¡±


    After hearing his response, the two exchanged looks and quickly pulled Chen Cang to the stairwell.


    Their good days had just begun not many days ago, and Director Tao had just started to see them in a new light, with the mentor-student relationship warming up steadily!


    And at this time, Chen Cang¡¯s arrival was definitely not good news for them!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã0


    Because, based on experience, after each of Chen Cang¡¯s visits, there would always be some unavoidable damage done to them.


    Qian Lin said earnestly, ¡°Brother, what grudge, what grievance!¡±


    Student A sighed, ¡°Give us a break, will you?¡±


    Chen Cang was immediately taken aback, ¡°I¡­ I haven¡¯t done anything!¡±


    Qian Lin was nearly in tears, ¡°Have you done little? What does my teacher want with you?¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°It¡¯s probably about the National Cardiothoracic Surgery Competition.¡±


    At that moment, Tao Zi happened to pass by and, seeing the three of them, smiled, ¡°Eh? Xiao Chen is up here, come with me to the office, and you guys should come in too!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and took the lead.


    Meanwhile, Qian Lin and Student A exchanged glances, seeing in each other¡¯s eyes their own bleak fate¡­


    After sitting down, Tao Zi handed a document to Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, the schedule for the National Cardiothoracic Surgery Skills Competition has been released.¡±


    ¡°Each hospital sends one contestant who first participates in the provincial competition. The top three from the province qualify to represent it in the national competition, which starts officially on December 14 and 15 for the provincial rounds.¡±


    ¡°The provincial competition has three groups, A, B, and C, each determining one contestant who will represent Dongyang Province in the competition.¡±


    ¡°The national competition will be completed on the 21st and 22nd.¡±


    ¡°When I registered you some time ago, I entered your name as the representative from our Provincial Second Hospital.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang was momentarily stunned; the competition began in two weeks, giving him some prep time.


    In two weeks¡¯ time, it would be best to perform more surgeries to quickly improve and integrate his skills.


    Tao Zi said, ¡°During this time, I will prioritize all major chest and cardiovascular surgeries in the department for you to perform, to get more practice and familiarize yourself quickly.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Thank you, Director Tao.¡±


    Tao Zi waved his hand and smiled, ¡°Actually, don¡¯t put too much pressure on yourself. Last time, Director Xia and I were somewhat hasty too.¡±


    ¡°You just started cardiothoracic surgery this year. Although you¡¯re very talented, there is still a growth process. So, take this as a training opportunity. It¡¯s best if you can make it into the nationals to see more of the outside world!¡±


    ¡°There are many excellent young talents in our country. Once you go out there, interact more, communicate more, and learn more. That way, you can make faster progress.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded thoughtfully and smiled, ¡°Director, I¡¯ll do my best.¡±


    Tao Zi smiled, ¡°Yes, luck is very important too. After all, it¡¯s a draw for the groupings. If you end up against Guo Yunfei from the Cardiovascular Hospital, that would just be bad luck¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback; this was the second time he had heard the name Guo Yunfei. Guo Yunfei from the Cardiovascular Hospital?


    Meng Xi had also mentioned it.


    Is he really that formidable?


    After finishing his words, Tao Zi looked at Qian Liang and Classmate A, then glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, haven¡¯t there been those emergency cardiac surgeries lately? When you¡¯re operating, call these two to come and look at the blood.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Mm, alright!¡±


    The meaning behind Tao Zi¡¯s words was very clear, cardiac surgery is, frankly, a discipline that deals with life and death at all times and places.


    If one can go through the kind of training that happens in emergency situations, improvement is indeed rapid.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When he got back to his department, it was already noon, and Chen Cang felt that compared to the issue of the competition, Qin Yue¡¯s birthday was both the most headache-inducing and heart-wrenching matter.


    After hurrying through lunch, Chen Cang strolled around the mall for a bit, as he had the night shift and wouldn¡¯t be able to go out later.


    He wanted to create a surprise that was also meaningful, and yet¡­


    It was too troublesome!


    This was more difficult for Chen Cang than performing a major surgery.


    In the following time, Chen Cang searched online like a man possessed.


    Netizens suggested: You should give her a child!


    Chen Cang felt that this was very meaningful, but¡­ never mind!


    There were also suggestions to gift her with a couple of hydrating hyaluronic acid injections, which seemed not bad¡­


    Just then, Nurse Qian Lin walked in, ¡°Doctor Chen, the ambulance brought in an unconscious patient.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang quickly stood up and walked out.


    Once the ambulance had arrived, Chen Cang promptly asked Qian Lin to take the patient to the resuscitation room.


    The patient¡¯s family was a woman in her thirties and an aunt in her sixties.


    With a worried face, the aunt said, ¡°Doctor, this is my daughter-in-law. After eating lunch, she started complaining about a bad stomachache, and then she began to bleed heavily down there, losing a lot of blood!¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang was momentarily stunned.


    The diseases he could immediately think of narrowed down to a few.


    After all, bleeding down there usually meant only a handful of conditions!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Is she pregnant?¡±


    The mother-in-law immediately shook her head, ¡°No! My son has been on a business trip for three months, and I saw her have her periods a few months ago.¡±


    After asking about the medical history, he hurried into the resuscitation room.


    Even though the family members said this, Chen Cang still couldn¡¯t rule it out, so he directly called gynecology for an emergency consultation and had the blood transfusion department prepare matched blood.


    Then he immediately called the doctor on duty in the ultrasound room to perform a bedside B-ultrasound!


    Everything was moving along swiftly!


    Zhang Yan was the gynecologist on duty, and as soon as she heard about Chen Cang¡¯s emergency consultation, she hurriedly dropped what she was doing and ran over.


    After understanding the situation, Zhang Yan looked at the bedside ultrasound results and frowned immediately!


    She glanced at Chen Cang and said with a meaningful tone, ¡°There¡¯s a problem!¡±


    Chen Cang frowned, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Ectopic pregnancy, already two months along. It¡¯s a ruptured corpus luteum causing hemorrhagic shock. We need to operate quickly!¡± said Zhang Yan.


    Upon hearing the news, Chen Cang was instantly dumbfounded!


    The husband had been away on a business trip for three months, and now his wife was two months pregnant with an ectopic pregnancy, and the ones who came were the mother-in-law and sister-in-law¡­


    How was he going to explain this?


    A difficult problem lay before Chen Cang!

 Chapter 560 - Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Green Hat (Part One)

    Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Green Hat (Part One)


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°This really is going to be a surprise for the husband who is away on a business trip!¡±


    Chen Cang had also said he would give Qin Xiaotian a child, just hoping Qin Xiaotian wouldn¡¯t give him a ¡°surprise¡± in return¡­


    The husband was away on business for three months, and the wife was two months pregnant with an ectopic pregnancy.


    Whose child could be so mischievous as to run away for a month?


    So, the result was unquestionable.


    Extramarital affair, husband on a business trip, wife ¡®giving the green hat,¡¯ it should come to this conclusion!


    Zhang Yan glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Talk to the family as soon as possible. The patient is in critical condition and needs emergency surgery.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and hummed in agreement.


    He was just preparing to go out and explain the situation.


    But¡­ how should he explain it?


    The woman was brought in not by someone else but by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law; clearly, they were the ¡°enemy camp¡± to the patient.


    If they knew the woman had an affair during her marriage and the child in her belly wasn¡¯t from their family, what would they think? Would they refuse to sign the consent form?


    All of this was possible.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã0


    But it wasn¡¯t right to violate the patient¡¯s right to know by hiding her condition.


    For a doctor, this was indeed a difficult situation!


    Otherwise, why would there be courses on ¡°Medical Ethics¡± during undergraduate and graduate studies?


    Zhang Yan looked up at the patient¡¯s vital signs and started to contact the operating room, then glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, hurry up.¡±


    Chen Cang, gritting his teeth, walked towards the door.


    He had just reached the door when he suddenly thought of a solution.


    With this idea in mind, Chen Cang quickly took out the informed consent and medical disclosure documents, and said to the aunt, ¡°Hello, is it possible to contact the patient¡¯s husband or a direct relative?¡±


    The mother-in-law sighed, ¡°We can¡¯t contact him; my son is abroad. Even if we could reach him, he couldn¡¯t come back in time. Doctor¡­ can¡¯t we sign the form?¡±


    ¡°We must save her, the girl is still young, only thirty years old, a poor soul. After her parents got divorced, she stopped having contact with them. Later, she married into our family; we can¡¯t let her down either.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at this kind-hearted aunt and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Aunt, you care for her, but she may not necessarily reciprocate your feelings!


    With this thought, Chen Cang held out the disclosure document and said, ¡°The patient is currently in a very critical condition, suspected of spontaneous rupture of the pelvic organs, reason undetermined! Moreover, she¡¯s suffering from hemorrhagic shock, with a clear indication for emergency surgery. Please sign the informed consent so we can proceed with the surgery quickly!¡±


    The aunt quickly nodded her head, ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ll sign.¡±


    At that moment, the sister-in-law suddenly said, ¡°Doctor¡­ it couldn¡¯t be a pregnancy, could it?¡±


    That statement made the aunt, who was about to sign the document, pause abruptly.


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Pathological results have not come out yet.¡±


    The aunt shook her head and sighed, ¡°Doctor, please proceed with the treatment. No matter what, let¡¯s save the child first, then worry about anything else.¡±


    Chen Cang took the informed consent and walked back in.


    The explanation he had just given was quite reliable.


    The two diagnoses Chen Cang had provided were likewise:


    1. Hemorrhagic shock.


    2. Spontaneous rupture of pelvic organs, reason pending investigation.


    He hadn¡¯t violated the right to be informed.


    But, as for the specific results, after the rescue, naturally, there will be detailed diagnostic outcomes.


    A hospital admission diagnosis and a confirmed diagnosis are two different things.


    As for¡­ how to deal with an ectopic pregnancy, that would be an issue for the two families, to be resolved after her recovery.


    As doctors, this wasn¡¯t something they should concern themselves with.


    Zhang Yan watched Chen Cang return so quickly, curious.


    ¡°Is it signed?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s done.¡±


    Zhang Yan was momentarily stunned. ¡°That was fast. The other party agreed just like that?¡±


    Chen Cang handed over the diagnosis from the informed consent form to Zhang Yan. ¡°Does this look okay to you?¡±


    Zhang Yan took a look and was immediately startled!


    She couldn¡¯t help but look up at Chen Cang. ¡°Not bad, Dr. Chen, this diagnosis is sharp and highly reliable!¡±


    ¡°Impressive. Actually, the most troublesome part of this kind of surgery is explaining the condition to the patient. Otherwise, gynecology wouldn¡¯t have so many issues with ¡®playing it safe¡¯ with surgeries. Communicating with relatives is even harder than negotiating with the Grim Reaper!¡±


    Chen Cang deeply agreed. Hadn¡¯t Yang Yuanzhong been a vivid example just a while ago?


    If the family doesn¡¯t sign, the doctor is not qualified to perform surgery.


    Zhang Danni, who was on duty in the ultrasound room, couldn¡¯t help but give a thumbs up when she saw Chen Cang. ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯re incredible. Not everyone has your ability to deal with patients. Where did you learn it?¡±


    Chen Cang remembered Old Chen, who was best at handling such complex ethical issues ¨C must have been something Old Chen taught him, right?


    Zhang Yan rushed the patient to the gynecological operating room.


    The rescue work officially began.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand gynecological surgeries and was on duty, so he didn¡¯t go over to join the commotion.


    The mother-in-law and sister-in-law sat there, waiting anxiously, and Chen Cang did not say much.


    About three hours later, Zhang Yan hurried over.


    ¡°The patient is temporarily stable now; let¡¯s process the transfer to gynecology first. It¡¯s easier to explain things there,¡± Zhang Yan told Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang nodded and left with Zhang Yan.


    ¡°The surgery went smoothly, and the patient is safe for now. She needs to be transferred to gynecology for further treatment.¡±


    The mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.


    The sister-in-law, however, pursued the question. ¡°Doctor, what exactly is the situation?¡±


    Zhang Yan shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s nighttime now. We¡¯ve sent the samples for pathology, but the pathology department has closed for the day. It¡¯ll take some time to get the results, so we¡¯re not quite sure of the cause just yet.¡±


    The family followed Zhang Yan to gynecology in a daze.


    In fact, the specific diagnosis and other details would be disclosed to the relatives later, just not right now.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    A special patient made the emergency department gossip that night.


    Xiao Lin stood to the side, eyeing Chen Cang with suspicion. ¡°Dr. Chen, what do you think will happen if the mother-in-law and sister-in-law find out?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. ¡°I guess¡­ it would be quite dangerous!¡±


    Xiao Lin sighed. ¡°Ah¡­ it¡¯s all too complicated.¡±


    ¡°The mother-in-law seems so nice, yet to commit adultery¡­ That¡¯s too much of a betrayal, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    At this moment, Zhang Danni walked over. Unable to help herself, she said, ¡°You haven¡¯t seen much in the emergency department. Before I came to the Second Provincial Hospital, I worked at a reproductive center, then I quickly changed jobs.¡±


    Xiao Lin asked curiously, ¡°Why is that?¡±


    Zhang Danni said with a smile, ¡°Every day it was affairs, extramarital relationships, paternity tests, infertility¡­ After seeing so much of that, you start to doubt life.¡±


    Xiao Lin shivered at the thought and nodded. ¡°I see your point!¡±


    After spending a long time in the gastroenterology department, you always feel like you have gastritis and want to get an endoscopy.


    After being in the proctology department for a while, you always suspect you need a colonoscopy.


    After staying in the oncology department for too long, you see cancer patients everywhere.


    Similarly¡­


    After working at the reproductive center for a long time, you see extramarital affairs everywhere¡­


    Actually, this is all an illusion because what you see is just this type of patient, which may only be a small proportion of the total. It¡¯s just that they all come to your department, creating that illusion.

 Chapter 561 - Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Green Hat (Part Two)

    Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Green Hat (Part Two)


    It was already past eleven o¡¯clock, and Zhang Danni was in no hurry to return to the ultrasound room.


    After all, once she went upstairs, there would only be her and two other young nurses on the vast floor, and the ultrasound was really quiet at night, mostly just for sleeping.


    Where could it be as lively as the ER?


    Sitting there and chatting with Nurse Xiao and a few others, it was then that a group of men and women, furious, came rushing in.


    The two were tugging and pulling at each other, cursing and swearing!


    As they continued their scuffle into the ER, Chen Cang was taken aback.


    He hurriedly asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The man snorted coldly, ¡°Doctor, you be the judge!¡±


    The woman also looked at the man with disdain, ¡°If you want to judge, then judge!¡±


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded, looking at the two young people, just in their twenties and not much older than thirty, and he became curiously asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you not feeling well?¡±


    The woman, infuriated, looked up and said, ¡°Doctor, I want an abortion!¡±


    The man snorted, ¡°Then do it! What¡¯s that got to do with me?¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, what was with tonight?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í¨À¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Was it a gynecological night?


    Why were all these cases related to such diseases?


    Chen Cang shook his head. ¡°Young lady, this is the ER, we don¡¯t do abortions here. You should go to the gynecology department tomorrow and register.¡±


    The young lady, raging, pointed at the man, ¡°Yang Yuhang, I¡¯m telling you, even if I abort this child, I won¡¯t have one for you, you heartless man. After carrying your child, you actually suspect me? Don¡¯t you have a conscience at all?¡±


    The man laughed bitterly, ¡°My child? Wow, my goodness, if it really were my child, I would bow down to you. I¡¯ve only been back for a little over forty days! Your report says two months pregnant!¡±


    ¡°No wonder you were in such a hurry to marry me; were you hoping to make me your backup plan?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been puzzled as to why you¡¯ve been pushing me to get married this past month. So it turns out you¡¯re pregnant.¡±


    ¡°What now? So I¡¯m supposed to be happy about becoming a dad?¡±


    The man was devastated, although he was laughing, he was almost crying.


    After all, if your girlfriend is pregnant, it should be a joyous occasion, but the baby wasn¡¯t his!


    How was he supposed to start talking about this?


    Not only did the boy look like this, but the girl¡¯s expression was similar!


    Her face was angry, and her eyes blinked back tears as though she had a belly full of grievances that she couldn¡¯t express, struggling not to cry out loud. Yet inside, she felt a chilling heartache!


    The three-year-long love marathon was about to end just as they seemed ready to settle in the same city, to cheer for love, to prepare for marriage and children, and to start a new life.


    When her period didn¡¯t come this month, the woman was overjoyed. After the test, under no doubt, she was pregnant and planned to surprise her boyfriend on his birthday.


    But, to her horror, the surprise turned into a fright!


    The man said loudly, ¡°Do you know how hard it was for me to get transferred back here? I begged and pleaded, acting like a grandson, spending so much money to get back!¡±


    ¡°I just wanted to marry you and have children, to make you happy early.¡±


    ¡°But no, you give me a ¡®surprise¡¯¡­ Such a surprise indeed! Two months pregnant and I¡¯ve only been back for a little over forty days! Forty days, do you understand? Can¡¯t you use your brain?¡±


    As he spoke, the man squatted down on the ground and started sobbing loudly.


    The woman, staring at the boy, also began to cry, crying while saying, ¡°You bastard, you actually suspect me¡­ I¡¯d rather have the child aborted than bear one for you!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang and everyone else were stunned; why did the night feel so green!


    Alas¡­


    Seeing the two crying so pitifully, so passionately committed, Chen Cang felt embarrassed to interrupt.


    But¡­ this was the ER, not a police station, not a place to mediate marital feelings.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but stand up, ¡°Alright, I think there might be some misunderstanding between you two. Calm down for now and don¡¯t make any hasty decisions at this moment.¡±


    The man stood up and stared at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor, you¡¯re a man too, can you imagine my pain right now? I¡¯ve given her so much, and this is how she treats me. I¡­ I¡¯m just so tired!¡±


    As the man spoke, he embraced Chen and began to cry.


    ¡°Doctor, just think, if your girlfriend was¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, damn¡­ don¡¯t compare this to me, he hurriedly interrupted the man.


    ¡°What did you just say about being pregnant for two months? What¡¯s that all about?¡±


    The man took his sleeve, wiped his face directly, and pulled a report out of his pocket, taking a deep breath, ¡°Doctor, look at this¡­ here it says, ¡®pregnant for two months.¡¯


    Chen Cang took the report and started to read it.


    Hmm, that¡¯s right, it indeed says ¡®pregnant for two months.¡¯


    The man¡¯s face turned red, ¡°But¡­ I¡¯ve only been back for 40 days, doctor, and I didn¡¯t do *that* two months ago¡­ Does this mean I¡¯ve been cuckolded?¡±


    Chen Cang was about to speak when suddenly Zhang Danni rolled her eyes. After a gut-wrenching confession from both of them, she finally understood what was really going on.


    ¡°Enough, enough. You two have a misunderstanding!¡±


    Both looked up and stared at Zhang Danni, ¡°A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?¡±


    The man looked wronged, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Zhang Danni said to Chen Cang, ¡°Give me the report.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and handed it over, ¡°Yes, here.¡±


    Zhang Danni, holding the report in her hands, couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Actually, you being back for a bit over 40 days is correct, and the report isn¡¯t wrong either!¡±


    The man was stunned, ¡°Then does that mean I¡¯ve been cheated on?¡±


    Zhang Danni was startled. Are you so eager to have been cheated on?


    ¡°No, typically the timeline on a report card is calculated from the last menstrual period. Your girlfriend¡¯s last menstruation was two months ago, so you came back 40 days ago. She didn¡¯t notice the first missed period because she often worked overtime, and her periods are irregular. When she missed another period after a month, she went for a checkup and discovered she was pregnant!¡±


    ¡°Calculating from the last menstrual period, it actually adds up to being two months pregnant.¡±


    After this explanation, both of them were stunned!


    The woman sighed, ¡°Yes, I often work late and my periods are not very regular, so I didn¡¯t take notice when it was delayed a month. It didn¡¯t come this month either, so I went for a checkup, and the doctor told me I¡¯ve been pregnant for two months.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man was utterly dumbfounded!


    ¡°Doctor¡­ does this mean¡­ the child is mine?¡±


    Zhang Danni nodded, ¡°Based on the timing, there seems to be no issue, but¡­ I can¡¯t be completely sure about the specifics.¡±


    After hearing this, the man¡¯s expression instantly changed, ¡°Sorry, my wife¡­ It was me¡­¡±


    The woman coldly said, ¡°Go away! You doubted me!¡±


    The man pleaded, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it, can¡¯t you have a little empathy? I was just worried, and we¡­¡±


    The woman interrupted, ¡°I want to terminate the pregnancy¡­¡±


    Suddenly, the man knelt on one knee, taking out a diamond ring from his pocket, ¡°Wife, marry me!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been preparing for this day for a long time. I came back this time to propose to you. I wanted to make my birthday special by proposing to you; I¡¯ve even bought the ring. It¡¯s just because I don¡¯t understand medicine or pregnancy, I misunderstood you. I apologize. I swear I¡¯ll never doubt you again in my life, marry me!¡±


    The sudden display of affection left everyone somewhat speechless.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang watched the scene thoughtfully¡­


    Right!


    A proposal?


    What a good idea¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: Here¡¯s a little tidbit about pregnancy: typically, it¡¯s challenging to pinpoint the exact date of conception for a woman¡¯s first pregnancy. If a woman finds out she¡¯s pregnant within half a month of her menstruation delay, the conception date is usually based on the time of the last menstruation.


    Next time this happens, don¡¯t jump to conclusions. Trust is fragile and doesn¡¯t withstand misunderstandings¡­

 Chapter 562 - Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Zheng Guotans Invitation

    Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Zheng Guotan¡¯s Invitation


    A feast of flirtatious affection that was simply divine, instantly making the scene somewhat chaotic.


    In the hospital room, some of the teasing patients and relatives even came out to start applauding, chanting, ¡°Marry him, marry him!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face changed at this, forcing him to play the spoilsport and quickly usher the two away!


    Flaunting love in the emergency room is a bit much, right?


    As the couple expressed their profuse gratitude and prepared to leave, Chen Cang suddenly called out to the man, saying, ¡°Hey, young man, wait a moment!¡±


    The man paused, confused: ¡°Is there something wrong, Doctor?¡±


    Chen Cang beckoned: ¡°I want to ask you something.¡±


    The man looked over, intrigued, and walked over: ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile: ¡°Where did you buy that engagement ring?¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man couldn¡¯t help but laugh. He pulled out his phone and recommended a few stores to Chen Cang before leaving.


    The man was now thrilled beyond measure, after all, his girlfriend was pregnant, and getting married soon was the priority.


    The rest of the night was incredibly peaceful.


    Chen Cang rarely encountered such a calm night shift and was somewhat taken aback. He returned to the duty room and slept soundly.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    The next morning, he woke up feeling refreshed and clear-headed.


    Qin Yue knew Chen Cang had been on the night shift and arrived very early with breakfast, which included eggs she had cooked and soy milk she had bought.


    Just after seven o¡¯clock, she hurriedly ran out of her house to bring Chen Cang his meal.


    Qin Xiaoyuan, hearing Qin Yue cooking, felt overjoyed inside, exclaiming how his daughter had grown up.


    But upon coming out and seeing the empty table, even the bread bought the night before gone, he was momentarily stunned.


    ¡°Wife¡­ did you eat everything?¡±


    Ji Ruyun was taken aback: ¡°Eat what, everything?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°Didn¡¯t I just hear Yueyue cooking? Where¡¯s the food?¡±


    Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes: ¡°You think she was cooking for you?¡±


    ¡°Your daughter didn¡¯t sleep well all night, worrying about little Chen¡¯s night shift. She got up early to make breakfast with all her love, and you think you get a share? What are you thinking¡­¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback and suddenly felt dumbfounded.


    After a long pause, he shook his head: ¡°Wife, let me heat up some milk for you. Oh¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The hospital wasn¡¯t busy that morning, and Qin Yue, fearing that Chen Cang would be caught up with work, ran all the way to the emergency room. The weather was quite cold, and she clenched the fried eggs in her hand, holding them directly with both hands to keep them warm.


    Upon entering, she ran straight into Chen Cang: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why the rush?¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s cheeks were flushed: ¡°I made you breakfast, I was afraid it would get cold¡­¡±


    Chen Cang looked down at Qin Yue¡¯s hands, reddened by the cold, and couldn¡¯t help but hold them tenderly: ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Qin Yue immediately beamed: ¡°Go eat quickly, it¡¯ll get cold. I¡¯ll see if there¡¯s anything I can help with.¡±


    Looking at the still warm breakfast in his hands, Chen Cang suddenly felt everything was so blissful.


    After the morning shift was over, and he had time to rest, Chen Cang decided to check out a few malls to look for a birthday gift for Qin Yue.


    Just as he was leaving the hospital, his phone rang.


    Chen Cang picked up and saw it was Zheng Guotan calling, so he answered.


    ¡°Director Zheng, hello.¡±


    Zheng Guotan said with a chuckle, ¡°Chen, do you have time today?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Mm, I¡¯m off today.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan immediately brightened up and said, ¡°That¡¯s great, the American medical aesthetics team arrived earlier than expected. How about we get the surgery done today?¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang heard this, he agreed on the spot. A surgery wouldn¡¯t take too much time. Besides, Chen Cang was now fully capable of performing the surgery on Zheng Guotan¡¯s wife independently.


    Old scar excision and skin flap transplantation.


    Initially, Chen Cang was just a rookie who could only suture, but now he had come a long way ¨C his old popgun had turned into a cannon!


    ¡°Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan immediately laughed and said, ¡®Then I¡¯ll send someone to pick you up!''¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ll just take a taxi over. I¡¯ll contact you when I arrive.¡±


    Zheng Guotan gave an awkward smile, ¡°No need, I¡¯m at another villa you haven¡¯t been to before. I¡¯ll send someone to pick you up. Where shall they meet you?¡±


    When Chen Cang heard this, he couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed. The lives of the wealthy are truly dull, with so many villas!


    ¡­


    When Chen Cang saw the villa, he couldn¡¯t help but be stunned somewhat; calling it a villa seemed like an understatement. Wasn¡¯t this a manor?


    It was huge!


    By this time, there were already seven or eight people in the living room.


    However, one particularly noticeable, muscular bald man was chatting and laughing with Zheng Guotan.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang¡¯s arrival, Zheng Guotan introduced him with a smile, ¡°This is Chen Cang, the doctor I mentioned before!¡±


    Zheng Guotan¡¯s English was pretty good. After all, he often attended various conferences and engaged in investments both domestically and internationally throughout the year. Although it was convenient to find translators, having a command of a foreign language was still very useful to him.


    ¡°Chen, this is Mr. Lonnakans Siden, the renowned CEO of a foreign investment firm I told you about,¡± Zheng Guotan introduced in Chinese on purpose.


    Standing nearly one meter ninety, Lonnakans Siden¡¯s muscular build was not at all that of a typical investment tycoon. He looked at Chen Cang with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m glad to meet you.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his hand in response, ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡±


    When Lonnakans Siden heard Chen Cang¡¯s words, his eyes instantly lit up, ¡°I really like your accent. Just call me Siden. I enjoy making friends with capable people.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled. It seemed that this investment tycoon didn¡¯t put on airs.


    At this point, Zheng Guotan brought Chen Cang over to a group of people saying, ¡°This is the professional medical aesthetics team from the American CIS medical group. In a bit, you¡¯ll communicate with them.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded his head.


    After a round of introductions, Chen Cang learned that the lead person was Peter Toby, who appeared to be quite remarkable.


    However, it was quite clear that at the beginning, everyone seemed to regard Chen Cang simply as a friend of this Chinese boss.


    But next, when Zheng Guotan mentioned that Chen Cang would be responsible for the final skin suturing, everyone was momentarily stunned.


    After a brief rest, everyone moved to the second floor.


    Zhang Aixiang greeted Chen Cang when she saw him.


    She had tied her hair up especially for today, but doing so exposed a large irregular scar of about 4 centimeters by 5 centimeters on her forehead, which appeared somewhat intimidating.


    The scar was evidently quite old, and Chen Cang never understood why she had delayed treating it until now.


    But that was none of his concern.


    Peter¡¯s five-person team began a meticulous inspection of Zhang Aixiang¡¯s scar.


    They used a variety of instruments, taking photos of Zhang Aixiang¡­


    It was undeniable that just by looking at the setup, you could tell it was a professional team, at the very least¡­ their equipment was very comprehensive.

 Chapter 563 - Chapter 563: Chapter 563: I Have a Method

    Chapter 563: Chapter 563: I Have a Method


    Chen Cang wasn¡¯t idle either, watching intently from the side.


    About twenty minutes later, a 3D simulated facial structure appeared on the computer screen, even the scars were accounted for¡ªthe proportions and structure were completely lifelike¡­


    Upon seeing this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes, suddenly feeling somewhat impressed and awed!


    Afterward, everyone moved to a meeting room on the second floor, where the projector cast images on the wall, and the discussion on the facial reconstruction began.


    But to be honest, Zhang Aixiang¡¯s facial scars were very irregular and covered a large area. If choosing scar excision, one would also have to consider skin flap transplantation, which significantly increases the difficulty!


    According to the special instrument¡¯s results, the depth of the scar was also clearly depicted on the screen.


    For this reason, everyone frowned in concern!


    Because, it seemed the situation was much tougher than they had anticipated.


    <>


    Zheng Guotan was particularly attentive to Zhang Aixiang¡¯s wounds, feeling a debt towards her.


    With a net worth in the tens or hundreds of billions, Zheng Guotan¡¯s requirements for bringing such a top-tier team were naturally not the same as those of an ordinary person.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Chen Cang found the simulation images in cosmetic medicine truly fascinating. Through their program, facial muscle tissue could be changed to simulate the effects of skin flap transplantation as closely as possible!


    Even direct scar excision and surgical simulation through data modeling were a very innovative and creative technology!


    This was indeed a great surprise for Chen Cang!


    Renner Cons watched Chen Cang¡¯s reaction and said with a smile, ¡°Dr. Chen, I invested ten million US dollars in this product, what do you think?¡±


    Upon hearing Renner Cons¡¯s words, Chen Cang was momentarily stunned.


    But he couldn¡¯t help but give a thumbs up, sincerely praising, ¡°A very meaningful invention.¡±


    Indeed, through data modeling of facial structures and revealing muscles, blood vessels, and nerves after removing invisible skin, this could be a very innovative and practical auxiliary tool in the field of plastic surgery!


    But¡­ ten million US dollars!


    The life of the wealthy seemed too dull.


    However, if it could be popularized, Renner Cons could receive a return far exceeding ten million US dollars.


    This piqued Chen Cang¡¯s interest in this robust investor!


    Now, he finally understood why it was necessary to gather so much valid data, as the image on the screen now precisely represented Zhang Aixiang¡¯s facial proportions.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At that moment, Pete and the others were discussing the surgical plan with grave expressions, all five constantly using data to simulate and match, hoping to find the optimal solution!


    In fact, if facial skin flap transplantation were to be used, the push-forward method might yield the best results, but clearly, it was also the most difficult.


    To be honest, transplanting skin from other parts of the body was the simplest, with possible grafting material coming from areas with sparse hair like the abdomen or back.


    But this approach would certainly create a noticeable color difference from the facial skin.


    Moreover, it could affect facial nerve function.


    This was the least desirable option.


    The intense discussion continued, the room was filled with the sounds of their relentless communication.


    After nearly two and a half hours, the intense discussion finally came to a temporary conclusion, and they also devised seven or eight cosmetic surgery plans.


    Pete approached and said to Zheng Guotan, ¡°Mr. Zheng, we now have several plans that I¡¯d like to introduce to you.¡±


    After that, the first image quickly appeared.


    ¡°`


    Peter explained, ¡°For the first solution, we have chosen to perform four skin flap transplants in several batches. First, we have to remove the scars, then divide the area into four parts, and proceed with the transplants simultaneously!¡±


    This approach has its advantages: better recovery and minimal color difference, but it is prone to leaving repair scars since the damage to the skin on the forehead is substantial.


    However, we can treat the scars with the latest laser technology and photorejuvenation devices, potentially achieving a concealed scar effect!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan frowned slightly. If that was the case, scars would still remain, which clearly did not meet his requirements.


    ¡°Let¡¯s look at the other options.¡±


    When Peter heard Zheng Guotan¡¯s comment, he sighed. He had placed this solution first because he thought it was the better option.


    Unexpectedly, Zheng Guotan was not satisfied with the first one!


    Thinking this, Peter began to introduce the next option: ¡°The second method is more straightforward and provides better control over the scarring. Through efficient scar excision, followed by autogenous skin flap and skin graft transplants, we can better transplant skin flaps from the abdomen.


    The advantage is that it¡¯s safe and leaves minimal scars¡­


    However, the downside is also clear: there might be a color mismatch, but we will try to use various techniques to minimize the color difference, achieving a better outcome, which could be imperceptible after makeup¡­¡±


    Chen Cang watched from the side, thinking that it¡¯s truly great to have money!


    At the very least, such a top-tier team was providing him with ideas and solutions.


    Moreover, Peter was impressive. After discussing each idea and approach, he would present the pros and cons and come up with specific solutions for the shortcomings.


    It was indeed an impressive team!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but give them a call!


    Perhaps this is what a professional team is all about?


    No wonder they can earn so much money!


    They truly deserved to be top-notch!


    Soon, seven or eight surgical approaches had been introduced, yet Zheng Guotan still frowned slightly.


    Each one had significant flaws, which Zheng Guotan found hard to accept.


    Dr. Lennar Cons said consolingly, ¡°Friend, there¡¯s nothing absolutely perfect in this world, and surgery is inherently imperfect, isn¡¯t it? We are just looking for ways to make imperfections more beautiful.¡±


    Zheng Guotan nodded, furrowed his brow in thought for a while, and couldn¡¯t help but ask,


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a better way?¡±


    Peter shrugged and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Zheng, but this is the best we can come up with.¡±


    Zheng Guotan let out a sigh.


    Feeling somewhat disheartened, he understood, but he just hoped for a more suitable method to eliminate the scar as much as possible!


    The best would be to leave no trace!


    After a while,


    he sighed again.


    At that moment, he turned to look at Chen Cang.


    Right?


    Does Xiao Chen have a solution?


    With that in mind, Zheng Guotan looked at Chen Cang and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Xiao Chen, what do you think?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded earnestly, ¡°It¡¯s quite good.¡±


    Seeing Chen Cang also say it was quite good, Zheng Guotan nodded involuntarily.


    Just then, Chen Cang suddenly smiled and said, ¡°But¡­ perhaps I have another way.¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 564 - Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Diamonds!

    Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Diamonds!


    Chen Cang said one sentence, which made Zheng Guotan freeze for a moment!


    What does that mean?


    Could it be that Chen Cang had a better approach?


    With that thought, Zheng Guotan quickly fixed his gaze on Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen¡­ do you have a better approach?¡±


    Chen Cang neither nodded nor shook his head, but said in English, ¡°Perhaps it should be said to be an approach that can offer a new direction.¡±


    At this moment, everyone was staring at Chen Cang, and although they didn¡¯t understand what the two were talking about, it was obvious that it was a discussion about Zhang Aixiang¡¯s plastic surgery approach!


    Zheng Guotan frowned, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Chen Cang thoughtfully said, ¡°It means that I can offer a new direction to everyone!¡±


    As soon as these words came out, everyone around immediately became all ears, staring at Chen Cang.


    Zheng Guotan quickly asked, ¡°What kind of direction?¡±


    Even Peter curiously stared at Chen Cang, his eyes filled with expectation.


    For Peter, being able to come here, the fee had already been paid in advance, whether the problem could be solved or not, they had already charged.


    Because his team had already provided many options and plans, if you accept them, we will help you with the procedure, anytime.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    But if you disagree, that¡¯s also okay.


    That¡¯s the value of a top-level team.


    This is a way of treating diseases in Americans, as well as a business model.


    Just like a cancer patient who wants to go to the United States for treatment, he can find a prominent oncology expert, schedule a time, and after paying a fee of 50,000 US dollars, the expert will conduct an examination. Afterward, based on your condition, a treatment plan will be formulated. They will also tell you the pros and cons of this treatment plan for you to choose.


    This is equivalent to purchasing a treatment plan with your fifty thousand dollars!


    If you are not satisfied with the plan, you can completely refuse to use it.


    But, your money has been paid, and you have purchased this medical service.


    Therefore, after hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, even though Peter did not know much about Chen Cang, he was still looking forward to a better approach from him.


    Zhang Aixiang¡¯s surgery was a puzzle; they could only come indefinitely close to the correct answer. Now that there was a new way of thinking, why not embrace it?


    Chen Cang looked at everyone, smiled, and said, ¡°This piece of equipment is excellent, very impressive, but¡­ unfortunately, I do not know how to use it. So, Director Zheng, if it¡¯s convenient, could you please bring my sister-in-law over?¡±


    Zheng Guotan nodded, stood up, negotiated with Zhang Aixiang, and then called her in.


    Chen Cang looked at Zhang Aixiang, whose face, even well cared for in her fifties, already showed signs of lax skin and the beginning of frown lines, and due to the scar on her forehead, a very noticeable frown line was present both above and below it.


    Suddenly Chen Cang said, ¡°As everyone can see, the patient has wrinkles on her face. My idea is, could we possibly make use of this seemingly useless wrinkled skin?¡±


    Upon hearing this, several people were stunned!


    The room also fell into silence.


    Peter was dumbfounded and said to Chen Cang, ¡°You¡¯re simply a genius!¡±


    After saying this, Peter turned off the equipment, walked up to Zhang Aixiang, and began to observe her meticulously.


    It was also very strange. Due to the scar, there was a mark around the skin, and with age, how could there be no wrinkles?


    So, Chen Cang¡¯s idea was that after the scar tissue was removed, the facial flap transplantation surgery would still be used, but by treating the frown lines, a better result could be achieved.


    Peter kept thinking, his mind bursting with inspiration. It was as if he had unlocked the doors to a new world. He took a pen and paper and started to scribble and sketch. He was certain that this plan would satisfy Zheng Guotan!


    It would also satisfy himself!


    Time ticked away second by second, and after more than half an hour, Peter finally completed the plan.


    Looking at the design plan in his hands, he felt it was definitely the most successful surgery he had done this year and the one he was most proud of.


    With that thought, Peter looked at Chen Cang with excitement, ¡°How do you find my plan?¡±


    Chen Cang took it over and understood the other party¡¯s intention after one glance.


    But¡­


    Chen Cang was not satisfied.


    Chen Cang shook his head directly, ¡°So-so.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Petter¡¯s eyes widened immediately, ¡°That¡¯s already a genius idea, and you just think it¡¯s so-so?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡±


    Curiously, Petter looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Do you have a better method?¡±


    Chen Cang stood up, picked up a pen and said to Zhang Aixiang, ¡°Sister-in-law, I might have to draw some things on your face, don¡¯t mind it.¡±


    Zhang Aixiang nodded with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±


    Chen Cang took a special marking pen and continuously sketched on Zhang Aixiang¡¯s face¡­


    Petter stood behind and watched as Chen Cang¡¯s pen not only worked on the forehead but also dealt with the corners of the eyes and cheeks!


    This made Petter somewhat astonished!


    What on earth was this about?


    Suddenly, Chen Cang finished with a few strokes on the forehead.


    Those few strokes stunned Petter!


    ¡°You¡¯re simply a genius!¡±


    The other four members hurriedly came over to look closely; after seeing it, they looked at Chen Cang incredulously.


    Petter said, ¡°Your idea is very good, using SMAS rhytidectomy can better treat the facial skin, and using skin grafts and flap surgery can better resolve scars.¡±


    ¡°But¡­ this places very high demands on the surgeon, whether it¡¯s the initial scar excision or the mid-stage SMAS rhytidectomy and flap transplants, they all have stringent technical requirements because your plan is too precise!¡±


    Indeed, Chen Cang¡¯s conception was very precise; he cleverly used every piece of skin, even including the wrinkles in his calculations!


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Is there a better method than this?¡±


    At those words, Petter was left speechless.


    Indeed, was there a more impressive method than this?


    Petter looked at Chen Cang with some surprise; he had been famous in the medical aesthetics field for a long time, but he didn¡¯t expect to encounter such a young genius in China.


    Zheng Guotan naturally couldn¡¯t understand the technical terms of the two¡¯s professional discussion, but¡­ what he cared about was whether Chen Cang had a better method.


    ¡°How is it, Dr. Petter, what do you think of Chen Cang¡¯s suggestion?¡±


    Petter nodded in praise, ¡°This might be the best idea yet; if the surgery is successful, it should be a genius operation that not only helps Miss Zhang to remove scar tissue but also gives her face a micro adjustment. And this micro adjustment will make her even more beautiful and attractive!¡±


    ¡°This really is a genius idea!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan immediately became happy, ¡°Then shall we start the surgery as soon as possible?¡±


    Zhang Aixiang couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°It¡¯s noon, let¡¯s talk after lunch.¡±


    Zheng Guotan was in high spirits and said, ¡°Right, right, right, let¡¯s eat first, surgery in the afternoon!¡±


    After saying that, Zheng Guotan looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, thank you! By the way¡­ you have time this afternoon, right¡­¡±


    Chen Cang sighed awkwardly and told the truth, ¡°I originally planned to take advantage of today¡¯s free time to choose a diamond ring for a proposal¡­ Seems like I won¡¯t have time today¡­¡±


    At this moment, upon hearing about a diamond ring, Zheng Guotan immediately turned to look at Rennacons, ¡°Hey, Seton, what about that diamond you photographed in London? Can you sell it to me?¡±


    Rennacons suddenly took out a box from his pocket, smiling, ¡°Are you talking about this one?¡±


    The moment Rennacons opened the box, everyone was stunned!


    ¡°So beautiful!¡±


    Chen Cang felt his breathing quicken¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: Thank you to ¡°Lighter than a Feather¡± for another 10,000 reward, thank you brother for your support!

 Chapter 565 - Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Am I Friends with God? (Two in One)

    Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Am I Friends with God? (Two in One)


    This was not a colorless diamond, but a pink diamond radiating a pink glow!


    Pink diamond!


    Chen Cang might not have been very knowledgeable about diamonds, and had never had much fondness for these seemingly impractical luxuries.


    He even felt that diamonds were not even comparable to gold, at least gold retains its value¡­


    But when he saw this diamond gleaming with a captivating light in its crystal-clear form, he was genuinely stunned by its beauty!


    All those present were somewhat mesmerized, not to mention the women!


    Chen Cang was now truly tempted.


    If he could have this diamond fashioned into an engagement ring, worn on Xiao Qin¡¯s hand¡­ it would surely be beautiful, right?


    Renner Kons looked at the diamond, then glanced at Chen Cang and asked with a smile, ¡°A proposal?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and smiled, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m planning to propose to my girlfriend.¡±


    Renner Kons couldn¡¯t help but come over, smiling as he said, ¡°It seems it has found its rightful place. When I bought it, Mr. Zheng said it wasn¡¯t necessary, but now it seems, it¡¯s priceless.¡±


    With that, Renner Kons placed the diamond box in Chen Cang¡¯s hands and smiled, ¡°Now, it belongs to you!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes widened, somewhat incredulous, ¡°This¡­ is too valuable!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?0


    Indeed, this pink diamond was not small, it was worth several million yuan¡­


    Renner Kons glanced at Zheng Guotan and said, ¡°Perhaps this diamond should be given to one of you Chinese.¡±


    Zheng Guotan nodded, ¡°A 5.20-carat pink diamond, because it was auctioned in France, its price did not soar. But if it were in China, it would be an astonishing figure.¡±


    520¡­


    That might be the numeral synonymous with love for the Chinese¡­


    But such a connotation does not exist abroad.


    Renner Kons looked at Chen Cang, ¡°By the way, Chen, whenever you need that engagement ring, I know a designer from Tiffany. Perhaps they can design an even better ring for this diamond.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was instantly surprised, indeed, he couldn¡¯t just give a diamond so casually, right?


    Although setting techniques are available everywhere¡­ Tiffany is one of the world¡¯s top engagement ring companies.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say with some excitement, ¡°December 5th, in three days.¡±


    Renner Kons smiled, ¡°Good, that timing should work out. Leave it to me.¡±


    Chen Cang felt a bit embarrassed, after all, such a huge favor really made him uneasy, ¡°This¡­ Mr. Renner Kons, it¡¯s too valuable.¡±


    Zheng Guotan said with a chuckle, ¡°Xiao Chen, don¡¯t worry, this one¡¯s on me!¡±


    ¡°If you fix my sister-in-law¡¯s face, the gratitude owed would be immeasurable by this single diamond.¡±


    Renner Kons shook his head with a smile, ¡°No, no, no¡­ Zheng, you misunderstand, I will not sell it to you! Because this is a gift I¡¯m giving to Chen, it has nothing to do with you.¡±


    In his surprise, Chen Cang looked at Renner Kons as he spoke, ¡°I hope I can become friends with Chen, in case one day I need help, you could assist me.¡±


    ¡°This isn¡¯t about a trade of interests; this is¡­ Yes! This is mutual aid between friends, of course, this is provided that it does not violate your principles. You see, Renner Kons never treats his friends poorly!¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Renner Kons, without declining.


    Honestly, Renner Kons had made a good first impression on Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I¡¯m honored to be friends with Mr. Seton.¡±


    At this, Renner Kons¡¯s eyebrows rose and he laughed, ¡°Chen! A wise decision.¡±


    Renner Kons then handed the diamond directly to his assistant, who set off for New York in the United States that very day and personally made the call.


    The lunch at noon was splendid, and everyone enjoyed it very much.


    However, compared to that, everyone was more looking forward to the afternoon surgery.


    A skin flap transplant combined with a skin graft, along with SMAS rhytidectomy, scar excision surgery¡­ Altogether, it was a surgery that truly tested one¡¯s skill.


    The conditions at the scene were no longer satisfactory.


    Chen Cang promptly suggested moving to the Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital.


    Nobody refused this proposal.


    Chen Cang stood up to contact Zhang Zhixin, and after relaying the situation to him, Zhang Zhixin was stupefied.


    Zheng Guotan!


    This was a celebrity from Anyang and someone on the wealth leaderboard, his wife coming to his ¡°small clinic¡± for surgery was naturally thrilling to no end.


    In his excitement, he immediately called Hu Chuanjin.


    Hu Chuanjin was a tycoon, but compared to Zheng Guotan, he was a small fry. After learning the full story, Hu Chuanjin was first overjoyed, as forming a connection with Zheng Guotan was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.


    At the same time¡­ he was also somewhat frightened!


    After all, this showed that Chen Cang must have a very close relationship with Zheng Guotan. Luckily, he hadn¡¯t deducted anything from Chen Cang or done anything to him in the past, or else¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the afternoon, several vehicles parked in front of the Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital, where the usually tight parking space was now empty, reserved for Zheng Guotan and his entourage.


    Hu Chuanjin had thought things through very well. Zheng Guotan and Rennakon stepped out, with Hu Chuanjin hurrying forward to welcome them.


    Zheng Guotan just nodded and smiled, exchanging a few polite words, and had his secretary hand over a business card to him.


    This was already enough for Hu Chuanjin.


    His net worth was only a few billion, built on resources. Compared to a big boss like Zheng Guotan with tens of billions, the gap was more than a little!


    Hu Chuanjin watched as Zheng Guotan, Rennakon, and Chen Cang chatted like friends and couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath, realizing he had indeed underestimated this young man.


    Even though he wasn¡¯t clear about who Rennakon was, anyone who could joke and give instructions to Zheng Guotan was not to be underestimated. When he saw Rennakon¡¯s watch, he couldn¡¯t help but pause¡ªa Patek Philippe Ref.1518, that one watch might be worth half of his own net worth¡­


    Thinking of this, Hu Chuanjin shook his head in awe. It was too terrifying!


    After the preparatory work was done, the surgery was about to begin.


    Chen Cang glanced at Peter and his team, and without any pleasantries, said directly, ¡°I¡¯ll perform the surgery, how about it?¡±


    The group looked at Chen Cang with some hesitation¡­


    However, after considering for a moment, Peter nodded his head.


    In his view, anyone who could come up with that design based solely on the patient¡¯s condition must have a thorough understanding of the surgery.


    Although he hadn¡¯t seen Chen Cang operate, at least¡­ Zheng Guotan trusted him greatly, so perhaps he was also very capable?


    But¡­ Peter was still somewhat uneasy.


    ¡°I¡¯ll assist you,¡± he offered.


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°Pleasure to cooperate.¡±


    Once the surgery preparation was complete, they were ready to start.


    The first task for Chen Cang was the scar excision, which seemed not to be caused by trauma but by chemical substances, with evident damage to the dermis, causing deformity due to twisting and contraction. Chen Cang¡¯s job was to separate and excise it first.


    This step was the most critical part of the entire surgery; although the scar was clearly damaged, the blood vessels and nerves beneath the skin were intact. If he could remove the scar tissue without harming the nerves and blood vessels, ensuring a good integration of the transplanted skin flap and graft, that would be the most challenging step!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang specifically wore a microscope to achieve the most meticulous manipulation.


    The entire process was exceedingly delicate!


    Chen Cang carefully made the incision, then followed the scar, using his eyes to determine the damaged areas, with the blade undulating within millimeters.


    Peter, watching at the side, was incredibly tense, swallowing hard as he watched Chen Cang¡¯s operation¡­


    It was too intense¡­


    Such precise scar removal was something he had never seen before!


    Even the adipose layer was to be preserved, in the hopes that the skin graft would take better¡­


    Exactly!


    Chen Cang¡¯s scar excision had two remarkable effects: one was its precision, the other, its micro-manipulation.


    Both tasks were minute in operation and largely depended on Chen Cang¡¯s dexterity. Without sufficient dexterity, such meticulous operations would be hard to realize.


    And it wasn¡¯t just Peter!


    His team members were also on tenterhooks, watching the surgical field and hardly daring to breathe too loudly.


    Peter couldn¡¯t help but look up at Chen Cang, what sort of young man was this?


    His CIS aesthetic medicine team was top-ranked in the United States, yet he had never heard of such an individual. The World Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery had many members, and Peter had seen many during numerous meetings, but this was the first time he had encountered such an impressive young talent!


    As he was marvelling, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Ligate the blood vessels.¡±


    Peter was startled, swallowing hard as he looked at the tiny blood vessels under the scar, somewhat at a loss. How was he supposed to ligate them¡­ There were too many, they were too fine¡­


    Seeing Peter hesitate, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°You hold this, I¡¯ll do it!¡±


    That single statement left Peter somewhat red in the face¡­


    I¡¯m the top aesthetic doctor in the United States¡­ right?


    But¡­ to be disdained like this¡­


    The few team members behind him deliberately coughed and turned their heads away, pretending not to hear.


    Peter couldn¡¯t help but curse under his breath.


    The surgery continued. After the scar excision, Chen Cang carefully began facial micro-adjustments. The whole process seemed like meticulous carving, leaving the onlookers behind him in utter amazement.


    Even through the operation room¡¯s camera, Leonard Konz couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit embarrassed!


    How could he have brought such hopeless fellows¡­


    After spending so much money, he had fostered a team that could only be shocked!


    But Zheng Guotan was very satisfied!


    Leonard Konz couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Zheng, with Chen alone able to handle this surgery, do you feel like the money was wasted?¡±


    Zheng Guoan was startled, then chuckled, ¡°Not at all, at least we saw a great show, didn¡¯t we? Look at Peter¡¯s expression; isn¡¯t it funny? Haha¡­ I think it¡¯s delightful to see Leonard Konz¡¯s team as mere spectators.¡±


    Leonard Konz was momentarily stunned, before he also burst into laughter.


    However, after a moment, Leonard Konz couldn¡¯t help but remark, ¡°But Chen is really impressive!¡±


    Zheng Guotan nodded, ¡°Yeah, but what¡¯s truly frightening isn¡¯t that; it¡¯s the speed of his progress. He¡¯s improved a lot in just a few months.¡±


    That comment left Leonard Konz somewhat silent.


    Inside the operating room at that moment, Chen Cang¡¯s procedure became increasingly intricate, and his design was exceedingly precise. Every detail was carefully crafted, every step¡­


    If initially Peter was shocked by Chen Cang¡¯s delicate manipulation, what followed was his astonishment at Chen Cang¡¯s attention to proportion, detail, and his demanding perfectionism for every piece of skin!


    This exceeded their computers, even the equipment Leonard Konz had invested 10 million US dollars in!


    Could this really be called human work?


    Peter stood aside, completely unable to contribute.


    Eat melons then¡­


    The four team members behind him were also standing by as onlookers, in shock¡­


    Chen Cang looked up at the crowd, and seeing all five people step back in unison, he sighed deeply.


    Peter and the others turned red in the face.


    It wasn¡¯t that we didn¡¯t want to help¡­ but we didn¡¯t know how to be of assistance!


    Helplessly¡­


    The duration of this surgery was once again extended.


    Give him an inch, and he¡¯d give back a mile!


    Chen Cang strove to design the facial structure that would best suit Zhang Aixiang. Since it was a matter of reshaping, it naturally had to be designed to perfection.


    Inner and outer canthoplasty, SMAS rhytidectomy, eyelid repair¡­


    The surgery lasted nearly four to five hours!


    During that time, Chen Cang used two bottles of stamina potion.


    Such fine operations were immensely draining; even the bystanders like Peter were left in awe. Not to speak of performing surgery for such a long duration; just standing there for hours was taxing!


    Watching the surgery on camera, Zheng Guotan couldn¡¯t help but sigh and said to Leonard Konz, ¡°To be friends with Chen Cang, you¡¯ve got yourself a bargain.¡±


    Leonard Konz did not argue.


    As time ticked away second by second, the surgery was finally completed!


    When Chen Cang moved his feet away, when everyone saw Zhang Aixiang¡¯s brand new face, they were all dumbstruck!


    Amazement!


    It truly was!


    Zheng Guotan, watching the operation from outside in the office, suddenly stood up, his expression and demeanor somewhat shocked.


    This face¡­


    It made Zheng Guotan¡¯s hands tremble.


    After so many years!


    This might be the most beautiful Zhang Aixiang he could remember.


    He never thought he would see her like this after so many years!


    It made Zheng Guotan¡¯s breath quicken, his entire demeanor one of excitement, pulling at Leonard Konz.


    And Leonard Konz himself was at a loss for words, ¡°Oh God¡­ what exactly did he do¡­¡±


    Even if it was just after surgery, and recovery was still to come, the mould was already set.


    On site, Peter and the others looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.


    If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn¡¯t have believed this scene.


    Chen Cang, he truly was a genius!


    No¡­


    He was a god¡­


    Zheng Guotan hadn¡¯t lacked for beautiful women, reaching his position and status; there was no type of beauty he hadn¡¯t seen.


    But this might be the most beautiful Zhang Aixiang he had ever seen!


    Right!


    Chen Cang had based the design on Zhang Aixiang¡¯s own face, crafting proportions and angles that were most suitable for her¡­


    And thus today¡¯s result was achieved!


    Leonard Konz took a deep breath, ¡°I¡¯m friends with a god? And all it took was a five-carat pink diamond¡­ did I just strike an enormous bargain?¡±


    Zheng Guotan, staring at the camera, murmured to himself, ¡°When I first met the god you¡¯re talking about, it only cost me 10,000 US dollars!¡±

    ps: Combined two chapters for a more comfortable read.

 Chapter 566 - Chapter 566: Chapter 566: I am the Judge!

    Chapter 566: Chapter 566: I am the Judge!


    Chen Cang had completed the surgery, admiring the face before him!


    To be honest, this was no longer a simple case of facial scar removal and skin flap transplantation.


    Chen Cang had increased the difficulty of the entire surgery several times over!


    By his side, Peter looked at Zhang Aixiang¡¯s face, unable to calm himself for a long time.


    He had always felt that although he charged a high fee, he served the patients with all his might, and every penny was well-deserved¡­


    But now, seeing Chen Cang¡¯s set of operations, he suddenly had the feeling of ¡°money unjustly earned¡±¡­


    Thinking this, Peter¡¯s face inexplicably reddened a bit.


    Peter was very professional, and he recognized how many minor surgeries were included in this one that lasted four to five hours, each of which could be considered classic on its own.


    Yet Chen Cang managed to combine the entire procedure, performing a thorough transformation of Zhang Aixiang¡¯s facial features!


    At the moment, there were still many sutures on Zhang Aixiang¡¯s face, but these suturing techniques also surprised Peter!


    Weren¡¯t the sutures too precise?


    The concealment of the needlework and the clever combination of stitching made the suture marks rather faint.


    It was for this reason that the overall structure and contours of Zhang Aixiang¡¯s face could now be clearly seen.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    Peter looked at the current Zhang Aixiang, who seemed so familiar! Yet upon closer inspection, she seemed unfamiliar everywhere.


    This might just be what real plastic surgery is all about, right?


    Perhaps the real core essence of plastic surgery should be to design the most suitable appearance for the patient based on their personal situation.


    Upon this reflection, Peter fell into deep thought.


    The surgery had completely ended!


    Chen Cang personally took care of the bandaging, and as the gauze covered the face, everyone present knew that upon its next unveiling, it would be a moment of transformation and the birth of a miracle.


    Zhang Aixiang was very lucid!


    Although she didn¡¯t know what had happened, she could sense the expressions of the people around her.


    ¡°Chen¡­ how was the surgery?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Sister-in-law, take some time to rest, and I believe you¡¯ll have a surprise.¡±


    Zhang Aixiang nodded, ¡°Thank you, Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, nodded, and had the nurses take her to the VIP ward.


    At that moment, Hu Chuanjin felt some regret; he thought there should have been a VVIP ward here, after all, that would have been fitting for someone like Zheng Guotan in terms of status and position.


    In the office outside the operating room at that time, Zheng Guotan watched the screen silently for a long time until Zhang Aixiang was transported to the ward. Then he stepped back, slowly sat down, and lit a cigarette.


    To be honest, he had thought about removing the scars for his wife, but at the end of the day, it wasn¡¯t just about the scars on the surface, but rather the scar in her heart.


    Lennacons looked at Zheng Guotan and said, ¡°Zheng, let¡¯s go and see your wife. I believe she needs you now more than ever.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan immediately snuffed out the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray, ¡°Right!¡±


    At that point, Xu Rou personally led the two upstairs.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang, having taken off his clothes and washed his hands, headed to the ward just in time to meet Zheng Guotan head-on.


    Zheng Guotan was very excited at the moment, taking three steps in two, hurrying forward, and took the initiative to grasp Chen Cang¡¯s hand, ¡°Chen! I really can¡¯t thank you enough!¡±


    ¡°Really! You don¡¯t understand the significance of what you¡¯ve done; it¡¯s far more than changing your sister-in-law¡¯s appearance. I believe this will help her regain her former confidence!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded; he understood very well.


    Generally, people with scars on their faces may develop a kind of depression over time, even a change in personality.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°President Zheng is being too polite.¡±


    Zheng Guotan waved his hand and earnestly said, ¡°Not at all, if your sister-in-law really can recover to her former self, no, even more beautiful than before as you¡¯ve designed, I believe she will definitely become much more cheerful.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled; indeed, a person¡¯s appearance can really affect their personality.


    He thought of Dou Xin!


    The girl who was somewhat timid and diffident yet possessed a voice like a skylark.


    How was that young lady doing now?


    Perhaps she had already escaped from her previous predicaments?


    After entering the ward, Chen Cang and Lawrence hesitated for a while and did not go in; perhaps at this time, they should give them a little private space and time.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang went to the next office and said to Xu Rou, ¡°Could you get me a cup of coffee? A latte with extra sugar, please.¡±


    Stamina potions are useful, but after long periods of intense work, Chen Cang was finding himself increasingly fond of sweet things.


    Yes, he was very fond of lattes with extra sugar!


    Xu Rou also knew Chen Cang¡¯s habits well. With a coffee shop not far from the next door, she didn¡¯t need to make it herself and could quickly buy one.


    Seeing this, Lawrence smiled and said, ¡°Beautiful girl, could you get me a cup too? Just the simplest black coffee, with nothing added.¡±


    Lawrence asked with interest, ¡°Chen, do you have a photo of your fianc¨¦e? I¡¯m curious to know what kind of girl has won your affection.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled. He did have photos on his phone, but they were secretly taken in the operating room of a tired Qin Yue lying on the floor, sleeping.


    Taken a year ago.


    With that thought, Chen Cang pulled up the photo and showed it to Lawrence.


    Upon seeing it, Lawrence¡¯s eyes brightened, and he said with a smile, ¡°She¡¯s a beautiful girl but¡­ quite hard-working and lucky! Meeting you might be the biggest fortune of her life!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Yes, she¡¯s hard-working. But¡­ I¡¯m even luckier than her.¡±


    Lawrence chuckled, feeling that the Chinese were indeed very humble. If he had such ability, he would proudly tell everyone about it.


    Still, thinking back to the recent surgery, Lawrence couldn¡¯t help but express his admiration, ¡°Chen, you are the best plastic surgeon I¡¯ve ever seen. You don¡¯t just change people¡¯s appearances; you endow their faces with a new soul.¡±


    ¡°I believe Mrs. Zheng will overcome her psychological shadows, and all this is thanks to you!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled but said nothing. He was well aware of Zheng Guotan¡¯s kindness toward him, so he would do his best to help him.


    Peter then came in and, hearing Lawrence¡¯s words, nodded his agreement, adding, ¡°Indeed, Chen¡¯s plastic surgery work is the most impressive I¡¯ve ever seen. There¡¯s none other!¡±


    Lawrence clicked his tongue in amazement, ¡°Hear that, Chen? Winning Peter¡¯s approval is like gaining the world¡¯s cosmetic medical industry¡¯s recognition.¡±


    Hearing Lawrence¡¯s words, Chen Cang suddenly paused, becoming somewhat curious about Peter.


    Although he knew Zheng Guotan would not invite just anyone, but¡­ to be honest, he really didn¡¯t know much about this field.


    Seeing his reaction, Lawrence couldn¡¯t help but smile and said, ¡°Peter is the founder of the American CIS cosmetic institute and an influential figure in the cosmetic medical industry in the West. Oh, and maybe one piece of data will illustrate this: many Hollywood stars would prefer to meet Peter, not those famous directors!¡±


    At those words, Peter couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Suddenly, Peter asked, ¡°Chen, are you going to the cosmetic medical conference in Korea at the end of December?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, suddenly remembering Qin Xiang mentioning this matter to him, ¡°I¡¯ll be attending. Don¡¯t tell me, Mr. Peter¡­ you¡¯re also going?¡±


    Peter immediately burst into laughter, ¡°I¡¯m not attending, but¡­ I am a judge.¡±

 Chapter 567 - Chapter 567 Chapter 567 Looking Forward to It

    ?Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Looking Forward to It?


    Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Looking Forward to It?


    Chen Cang was suddenly stunned!


    Judges?


    What judges, does the conference even need judges?


    Seeing this, Pedue immediately said, ¡°Chen, this must be your first time attending a medical aesthetic conference, right?¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°I¡¯ve just joined our Dongyang Province¡¯s Association of Plastic Surgery, and it was only with the help of the president that I had the chance to attend.¡±


    Those words immediately left Pedue and Rennakons speechless!


    ¡°Chen, are you joking?


    Your skills are like this¡­


    and you¡¯ve just joined the Association of Plastic Surgery?¡± Pedue couldn¡¯t help but say.


    Chen Cang nodded earnestly, ¡°No, I really have just entered.¡±


    At this moment, Zhang Zhixin also came over and nodded, ¡°Indeed, I can attest to that.¡±


    Chen Cang glanced at Zhang Zhixin and said with a smile, ¡°Teacher Zhang is still my guide, it was him who brought me into the field.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã?


    After all, this was Chen Cang¡¯s master!


    That¡¯s incredible!


    Chen Cang is already so impressive, his teacher¡­


    As the two men¡¯s gaze grew more intense, Zhang Zhixin¡¯s face reddened, ¡°Well¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s skills and talent far surpass mine, I¡¯m just his guide, in fact, he learned those surgeries all by himself by watching videos and summarizing the experience.¡±


    Those words almost made Pedue drown in his own spit!


    What do you mean by learning skills from videos?


    Can one really learn medical aesthetics from videos?


    Do you take me for a fool?


    In fact¡­


    Zhang Zhixin didn¡¯t believe Chen Cang¡¯s nonsense at the beginning either!


    Hadn¡¯t he watched plenty of videos himself?


    But¡­


    he really couldn¡¯t find any other learning opportunities for Chen Cang!


    It couldn¡¯t be that he suddenly just knew how to do it, right?


    Compared to dreaming up classes, he still found learning from video tutorials more reliable.


    After all, there are always some freaks in this world.


    Pedue couldn¡¯t help but be embarrassed, judging from Zhang Zhixin and Chen Cang¡¯s expressions, they didn¡¯t seem to be joking, and he felt somewhat at a loss.


    Should he believe it?


    Or not?


    Pedue still couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Chen, how long have you been involved with medical aesthetics?¡±


    Chen Cang cleared his throat, are you sure you want to ask?


    I really feel embarrassed to say¡­


    Seeing Chen Cang not speaking, Zhang Zhixin thought he might not know the word ¡°August¡±, remembering Chen Cang¡¯s discomfort, Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help saying:


    ¡°To be exact, Chen Cang started getting involved with medical aesthetics around August of this year, um¡­


    counting today, it¡¯s been exactly four months, about 120 days!¡±


    While talking, Zhang Zhixin emphasized the word ¡°August,¡± glanced at Chen Cang, and gestured with his hands, signaling to remember!


    With that statement, everyone present fell silent.


    Pedue outright didn¡¯t believe it!


    If learning from video teachings was challenging Pedue¡¯s intelligence, then the current four months were like crushing his intellect and grinding it into the ground!


    ¡°This joke¡­


    is not funny at all!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin was taken aback and immediately shook his head, glancing at the look in Pedue¡¯s eyes, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Mr.


    Pedue!


    Your life has flowed so smoothly because you are more than a decade older than Chen, otherwise¡­


    there would be no place for you in the medical aesthetics industry!


    Thinking this, Zhang Zhixin shook his head, don¡¯t think you all are so great, but¡­


    your experiences are too limited, are you scared just like that?


    If I told you Chen Cang learned how to do breast augmentations in one day, would you dare believe it?


    And that the first operation was priced at one million!


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not joking, everyone in our hospital can prove that Chen has only been involved in medical aesthetics for four months.¡±


    With that statement, Pedue was directly dumbfounded, his eyes staring intently at Chen Cang, eager to know the answer!


    Chen Cang sighed.


    Sometimes, the truth could be so hurtful, but¡­


    some people just liked to hear the truth.


    With that thought, Chen Cang nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, four months, starting from August.¡±


    Zhang Zhixin, hearing Chen Cang mention August, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.


    Hmm, not bad!


    As for how awesome Chen Cang was?


    Gold in January, platinum in February, diamond in March, and King in April¡¯s growth speed?


    He, Zhang himself, had gotten used to it!


    But!


    Pete Toby wasn¡¯t used to it!


    Every team member behind him wasn¡¯t used to it!


    A group of people stood up and stared at Chen Cang after hearing Zhang Zhixin¡¯s words, finding it hard to accept.


    After a while¡­


    Pete Toby finally sighed, ¡°Medical aesthetics truly is a field that requires talent.


    It¡¯s undeniable that with the help of equipment, a quantified and standardized aesthetic surgery model can be realized, but¡­


    to truly achieve perfect surgery, it¡¯s still not enough.¡±


    Suddenly, Pete Toby said, ¡°Chen, you must attend this year¡¯s plastic surgery conference.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll go, but¡­


    Mr.


    Pedue, what exactly is this conference like?¡±


    Pedue explained, ¡°Each year at the conference, a Plastic Surgeon of the Year is selected.


    It¡¯s an honor and the aesthetic medicine industry¡¯s recognition of a person.¡±


    ¡°The host changes every year, so the selection methods vary, but generally, it¡¯s still based on surgical outcomes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been invited to attend this conference, and as a judge at that.


    I don¡¯t know the specifics yet.¡±


    ¡°But, believe me, Chen, if you attend, you will win the big prize this year, and it will be extremely beneficial for your prospects and future in the medical aesthetics field.¡±


    Chen Cang pondered and nodded thoughtfully.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Shortly after, Zheng Guotan came out of the ward, clearly in high spirits!


    Pedue didn¡¯t linger too much, rising to leave with his team.


    After all, their time was precious, and they had a lot to do upon returning.


    Lenna Cons and Zheng Guotan had some matters to attend to and also left.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask Zhang Zhixin, ¡°Do you know Pete Toby?


    Pete Toby!¡±


    Zhang Zhixin immediately nodded, blushing slightly, ¡°Of course!¡±


    Chen Cang, curious, said, ¡°Is he famous?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin picked up a medical aesthetics magazine from behind him, flipped to a profile, and said, ¡°Look, this is Pete Toby, the man favored by Hollywood actresses!


    And the man most wanted to be approached by them under the table¡­¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but pick it up and read: ¡°Pete Toby, founder of the world CIS aesthetic institution, has studied in AIS, South Korea¡­


    received multiple awards, and has been named Plastic Surgeon of the Year by the World Society of Plastic Surgery in 2002 and 2003¡­¡±


    As Chen Cang read on, he suddenly paused, ¡°Why does this sound so familiar?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixin rolled his eyes and pulled out a promotional brochure from Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital from behind, flipping to Chen Cang¡¯s profile.


    ?0¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    ¡°Million-dollar surgeon, Chen Cang: advocate of American precision plastic surgery¡­


    has also been to American CIS, South Korea¡­¡±


    Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Your profile, I wrote it by imitating Pete Toby¡¯s, but yours is a low-end version, cough, cough!¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly realized, so that¡¯s why it sounded so familiar!


    It was just copied from Pete Toby!


    With this realization, Chen Cang also felt a bit embarrassed.


    Zhang Zhixin spoke seriously, ¡°Little Chen, you must prepare well for this Korean-held World Society of Plastic Surgery conference.


    If you by any chance win an award, let alone the Best Plastic Surgeon, even if it¡¯s just an Excellence Award, it would be a metamorphosis in terms of your value increase!¡±


    ¡°Do you know how many people around the world are watching this competition?


    It¡¯s officially recognized!¡±


    ¡°By then, not to mention a million-dollar surgeon, you could ask for a million US dollars and there would still be a constant stream of people from all over the country, and even the world, queuing up to see you.


    You might even become the male doctor most desired to be approached under the table by the entertainment industry!¡±


    ¡°How about that?


    Aren¡¯t you looking forward to it?¡±


    Zhang Zhixin stared at Chen Cang with fervent eyes, ¡°When you gain wealth and an honored position, don¡¯t forget each other, eh!?


    Little Chen, I just taught you an English word for ¡®August¡¯, sigh¡­


    you really need to improve your English, so embarrassing¡­¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Another chapter will be updated in a few minutes, still writing¡­

 Chapter 568 - Chapter 568 Chapter 568 Oddity

    ?Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Oddity Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Oddity Tomorrow is finally December 5th.


    Chen Cang has become increasingly excited these past few days.


    Lennar Cons told Chen Cang that the ring would arrive on December 5th.


    To prevent the ring from not arriving, Chen Cang had already purchased a fake diamond ring for 120 yuan from Taobao.


    Hmm, it¡¯s quite big and quite pretty too.


    This made Chen Cang feel that the pink diamond might have been a bit of a loss?


    However, the thought of it being personally designed by Tiffany¡¯s top designer was a very good thing indeed.


    ?¦Ï??¦Ï.?¦Ï


    The restaurant Chen Cang had booked was full of snob appeal, and he even picked a spot by the window, not to mention hiring a professional violin band to perform music!


    Everything was designed to be absolutely perfect!


    Chen Cang awaited tomorrow with great anticipation.


    After some intense research, Chen Cang had discovered that women are superficial creatures, even though they know that diamond rings are better-looking than useful, they still really like them.


    In the past few days, Chen Cang had been tirelessly peddling his ¡®diamond rings are useless¡¯ theory to Qin Yue!


    For instance, how diamond rings are just hyped up and superficial, how natural diamonds are a scam, and how synthetic diamonds are actually quite excellent¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    But when Qin Yue saw the handsome and domineering CEO on TV kneel on one knee, pulling out an egg-sized diamond, the impact was explosive!


    So at that moment, Chen Cang¡¯s mind formed the following logical relationship:


    Women are superficial!


    Pretty equals superficial!


    Useful is greater than pretty!


    Therefore, women like pretty things.


    Hmm, such illogical reasoning!


    But then again¡­


    do women argue with you using logic?


    So, no matter what, women just like pretty things!


    Logic?


    Pfft!


    Wake up, you single dog.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The office, for once, was engulfed in a peaceful and serene atmosphere.


    Perhaps today everyone was busy with work and had no time to fall ill, or maybe it was the end of the year and everyone was racing to reach their targets, daring not to fall sick.


    In any case, the office was unusually crowded today.


    Zhang Shu stood up to take a call and then started laughing non-stop, unable to contain herself!


    The entire office stared at Zhang Shu, completely baffled!


    Unable to resist, Wang Qian asked, ¡°Miss Zhang, what¡¯s so funny?


    Share it with everyone, let us all have a good laugh together!¡±


    Zhang Shu laughed for quite a while until she finally caught her breath and rubbed her stomach, ¡°Haha¡­


    hold on, let me catch my breath!¡±


    Zhang Shu laughed for a few more minutes!


    It wasn¡¯t until her face was too sore to laugh any longer that she rubbed her face, sighed, sat down on her chair, and said with a smile, ¡°Oh my, I can¡¯t take it, it¡¯s killing me!¡±


    Wang Qian, scratching his head and itching with impatience, immediately said, ¡°Miss Zhang, if you don¡¯t tell me now, I¡¯m going to cry!¡±


    It was then that Zhang Shu finally said with a laugh, ¡°I admitted a patient for emergency care a few days ago, with a rare lung infection.


    We checked for a long time and couldn¡¯t figure out the cause, so we just transferred them to the pulmonary disease department.


    Today Yang Xiaoming told me about this patient, haha¡­


    guess what caused it!¡±


    The group couldn¡¯t help but roll their eyes, ¡°Is that it?


    Teacher Zhang, you¡¯ve really let us down!¡±


    Laughter brought tears to Zhang Shu¡¯s eyes as she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°The patient had a fungal infection in the lungs, but do you know where the infection came from?¡±


    ¡°Director Yang told me that the patient has a habit of smelling his own stinky socks every day.


    He does it so often it¡¯s become a sort of addiction.


    Before going to bed each night and washing his feet, he takes a whiff of his socks.


    Despite the stench, he likes smelling them, sometimes even his shoes!¡±


    ¡°Lately, with the year-end company performance rush, he has been working overtime and often stays up late, which caused his immune system to weaken.


    As a result, he contracted a fungal infection from athlete¡¯s foot, leading to pneumonia!¡±


    ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve ever heard of such a case!¡±


    ¡°Should the diagnosis include something like: athlete¡¯s foot pneumonia?¡±


    As soon as she finished speaking, the office went silent for a moment, then everyone burst into laughter!


    Indeed, there¡¯s a new oddity every day, and all kinds of people exist.


    Athlete¡¯s foot causing pneumonia?


    At that moment, Chen Bingsheng chuckled and shook his head, ¡°A few days ago, I admitted a patient, an eight-year-old girl who had been having stomach pains for a while, but her family didn¡¯t take it seriously until one night when the pain became severe, and she was urgently brought to the outpatient clinic.


    At first, I didn¡¯t think much of it; after all, she¡¯s just a kid, what could it be!¡±


    But after looking for quite some time, we couldn¡¯t find the problem, so I had her undergo a barium meal X-ray, and the results shocked me.


    Guess what?¡±


    Shi Na spoke up immediately, ¡°Don¡¯t play coy, just tell us the result!¡±


    Old Chen took a deep breath, ¡°The barium meal X-ray showed a large foreign mass in her stomach.


    I hurriedly took her to the endoscopy room for a gastroscopy.


    Guess what it was?¡±


    ¡°It was a big ball of long hair!¡±


    At that revelation, everyone around was stunned.


    ¡°What do you mean, Old Chen?¡± Shi Na asked, her eyes wide in disbelief.


    Nurse Chang Lina was also wide-eyed, ¡°Teacher Chen, a perfectly humorous segment has taken a creepy turn.


    How did hair grow in her stomach?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng shook his head, ¡°Grow hair!


    Hair can¡¯t grow once it leaves the follicle, let alone in the stomach!¡±


    ¡°This little girl has a classic case of pica!


    She likes to eat hair and has been doing so sneakily for a year or two without her family knowing.


    It might be due to a long-term lack of trace elements, or perhaps a taste bud synthesis disorder!¡±


    Chang Lina listened, feeling a tingling sensation on her scalp, ¡°What happened afterward?¡±


    Chen Bingsheng couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°This kind of hair can¡¯t be digested in the stomach.


    Moreover, it prevents the digestion of food, and if it continues to develop, it could even turn into the reinforcement of a bezoar!¡±


    ¡°The mass of hair was too messy; it was impossible to remove it through the gastroscope, and the weak foreign body forceps couldn¡¯t extract hair that was even harder than stones.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, the only solution was to operate immediately.


    When I opened her up, I was truly taken aback by the large pile of hair!¡±


    After hearing that, everyone sighed.


    Indeed, all kinds of people exist!


    Those who eat hair, those who smell athlete¡¯s foot¡­


    With such a vast world, there¡¯s no end to the oddities.


    Spending enough time in emergency medicine, you really do see all sorts of diseases and peculiar people!


    a€|


    a€|


    p.s.: Thanks to ¡°The Girl Riding a White Horse¡± for the 10,000 rewards.


    Thank you, boss, for becoming another helmsman of this book.


    And thank you all for your support.


    I¡¯d like to say a few words here, about the recent panic over a certain virus.


    What I want to say is, everyone should not give in to excessive panic and chaos.


    Maintain a healthy lifestyle, wash your hands frequently, wear a mask when you go out, and it doesn¡¯t need to be too expensivea€¡±ordinary medical masks are fine, disposable ones that you won¡¯t regret throwing away.


    And finally, the most crucial point is to maintain a healthy body and improve immunity.


    Get rest early and avoid staying up late.


    As traditional Chinese medicine says, ¡°When the righteous Qi is inside, the evil cannot disturb.¡±

 Chapter 569 - Chapter 569 Chapter 569 Confession (Part 1)

    ?Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Confession (Part 1) Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Confession (Part 1) Qin Yue was very unhappy today!


    She guessed Chen Cang would definitely wish her a happy birthday at exactly 00:00!


    Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t!


    Instead, at precisely twelve o¡¯clock, he sent her a paper to analyze the data.


    Although she was already lying in bed, she suddenly became angry and vented at Chen Cang¡¯s profile picture on her phone:


    ¡°Chen Cang, you idiot!¡±


    ¡°You jerk!¡±


    ¡°Other girlfriends get sweet, beautiful, birthdays without gifts but still get a 520 red envelope, right?


    No 520, at least a 5.20 message, right?


    But you, you send me a whole pile of data!¡±


    ¡°You straight man!¡±


    ¡­


    Qin Yue cursed as she got out of bed in her dinosaur pajamas and began calculating on the computer with furious keystrokes.


    Though she knew Chen Cang was a diligent, hard-working, and sunny person, and she also knew he was busy and tired, always having lots of things to do,


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    But what did she get for her birthday?


    A dataset for her to analyze¡­


    This must be an idiot!


    If I ever have a daughter, I will definitely tell her this story to mock him for a lifetime!


    Humph!


    Baby has a temper!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang contacted Tang Sen, the editor of ¡°The British Journal of Surgery,¡± via email, replying that he had received the acceptance notice.


    It was three days earlier that he had sent his paper on near hepatic vein injuries directly to editor Tang Sen.


    Upon seeing it, Tang Sen had passed it directly to heville, the chief editor, for review!


    After a speedy review of Chen Cang¡¯s paper, it once again caught heville¡¯s attention; truly, a surgical genius, the conceptualization of surgery for near hepatic vein injuries was just too extraordinary!


    Following three days of discussion, there was no doubt that the article was accepted, and it was scheduled for publication as the feature of the New Year¡¯s issue in January.


    Heville personally communicated with Chen Cang, and naturally, Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t refuse!


    With this paper, Chen Cang estimated there wouldn¡¯t be any issues with Qin Yue¡¯s application review!


    Three top-tier journals!


    The combined impact factor was close to 20.


    Soon, an acceptance notice was sent back!


    Chen Cang looked at the acceptance notice, pleased with himself!


    Now, not only did he have a flashy engagement ring, but also a practical paper.


    As for that data?


    Chen Cang had spent 20 points of goodwill to exchange for Teacher Meng¡¯s statistical skills; it was just a little secret hidden within the numbers.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day, Qin Yue went to work as usual, just a bit resigned!


    ?0¦Í??.?¦Ï


    Upset last night, she did the data analysis all wrong and slept late, waking up in poor spirits.


    Looking at Chen Cang¡¯s ingratiating smile, Qin Yue glared at him!


    This idiot didn¡¯t even have a loving breakfast ready!


    She was so mad.


    Seeing Chen Cang busy all day, Qin Yue felt both distressed and heartbroken!


    Forget it!


    Anyway, she had spent so many birthdays like this; she was used to it¡­


    She just had some different expectations.


    Because of Chen Cang, Qin Yue had more beautiful memories about love.


    She sighed.


    In the afternoon, Chen Cang continued to be busy with surgery.


    The ambulance raced non-stop, not finishing until five o¡¯clock.


    Chen Cang hurriedly stood up and said to Wang Qian, ¡°I need to step out for a bit, you guys carry on.¡±


    Qin Yue saw Chen Cang rush off just like before, probably to visit his mentor Meng Youliao at Dongda First Hospital again.


    Thinking of this, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help ripping up the paper calculations she was working on.


    Calculate, calculate¡­


    what a load of crap!


    Tears of grievance almost spilled from her eyes.


    I¡¯ve been calculating for you for so long, I take your matters so seriously, care about them so much¡­


    But you don¡¯t even care about my birthday, and you still go to class!


    But just after tearing them up, she picked them up again.


    She wiped her eyes and ran into the duty room.


    She started calculating again with a sense of grievance.


    Around six o¡¯clock, Chen Cang¡¯s phone suddenly rang.


    Qin Yue didn¡¯t think twice, she hung up immediately!


    Chen Cang was taken aback; this girl was definitely angry.


    With that thought, Chen Cang dialed again.


    Qin Yue saw that it was Chen Cang calling and answered, saying grumpily, ¡°What do you want?


    I¡¯m busy!¡±


    When Chen Cang heard Qin Yue¡¯s voice, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Well¡­


    today is your birthday, and I¡¯ve made a reservation at a restaurant to treat you to dinner.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s voice, tears were about to fall from Qin Yue¡¯s eyes!


    He remembered after all¡­


    He had gone to make a reservation for me.


    At that thought, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but feel her nose sour.


    She couldn¡¯t stand it when others were kind to her; hearing that Chen Cang had been busy all day making a reservation for her, she was overjoyed.


    Her voice was choked up, ¡°Where is it?


    I¡¯ll take a taxi over¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang suddenly felt like maybe he was a bit mean to her?


    Chen Cang laughed, ¡°The Western restaurant you¡¯ve always wanted to go to, Chris Western Restaurant.¡±


    Qin Yue cheered up at once, giggling, ¡°Wait for me; I¡¯ll be there in no time!¡±


    With that in mind, Qin Yue didn¡¯t bother to change her clothes and wore her usual baggy sweatshirt, hastily hailed a taxi to Chris Western Restaurant.


    All the way there, scenes from TV shows kept popping into her head.


    Even though she knew full well that Chen Cang wouldn¡¯t be as extravagant, wouldn¡¯t have the domineering CEO demeanor, nor would he be that talented¡­


    But a girl always has her fantasies!


    Chris Restaurant is the most luxuriously decorated western restaurant in Anyang City.


    It is said to be soon rated by Michelin, with very high meal prices, located on the top floor of the tallest building in Anyang, Donglin Tower.


    From there, you can see the most beautiful night view of Anyang City and the gentle flow of the Fen River.


    If there¡¯s a seat by the window, that would definitely be the best choice.


    Unfortunately¡­


    window seats are hard to reserve!


    Qin Yue suddenly felt that coming to the Western restaurant in a sweatshirt was a bit too hasty¡­


    The heroines in the stories always wear beautiful dresses.


    Just arriving downstairs, a restaurant server was waiting, and upon seeing Qin Yue asked, ¡°Hello, are you Miss Qin Yue?¡±


    Qin Yue was startled and then acknowledged, ¡°Yes, I am!¡±


    The server smiled slightly, ¡°Mr.


    Chen Cang asked me to wait for you down here.


    I will take you up.¡±


    Feeling the sweet treatment, Qin Yue thought to herself, this guy isn¡¯t bad.


    The elevator was transparent, allowing a view of the outside scenery, and quickly reached the top.


    When Qin Yue got off, she saw the entrance was in the style of medieval European nobility and felt slightly out of place.


    The staff members all greeted in unison, ¡°Welcome!¡±


    After leading Qin Yue to her seat in the restaurant, she suddenly stopped, ¡°Where¡¯s Chen Cang?¡±


    The server smiled mysteriously.


    At that moment, the sound of a piano began to play slowly.


    A deeply emotional piano piece filled everyone¡¯s ears.


    In the center of the restaurant, a spotlight shone on a man in a white suit playing the piano.


    Seeing the figure, Qin Yue¡¯s heart shattered on the spot!

 Chapter 570 - Chapter 570 Chapter 570 Confession (Part 2)

    ?Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Confession (Part 2) Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Confession (Part 2) With the rise of the piano music!


    Everyone in the restaurant couldn¡¯t help but stop what they were doing.


    This was the sentimental piano piece Chen Cang had chosen, and what he was best at, Richard Clayderman¡¯s ¡°Autumn Leaves,¡± an emotionally rich composition.


    The sound¡¯s rhythm was slow and clear!


    Chen Cang himself was also deeply immersed in it.


    And at this moment, Qin Yue, watching Chen Cang play the piano in the center of the stage, suddenly had stars in her eyes!


    She never, ever, ever thought that a scene from a TV drama would happen to her in real life.


    She felt she was just an ordinary person, and so was Chen Cang; she could daydream about love, daydream about the most wonderful things on TV, but she knew those were fantasies, while she was living reality.


    Yet, as she saw Chen Cang playing the piano slowly like a prince charming, between the leaping notes, it seemed she had become the heroine of the story!


    For a moment, she closed her eyes and a vision appeared in her mind:


    A path covered with fallen leaves


    Winding and turning, leading to who knows where


    Flanked by towering trees


    Whose leaves had turned golden yellow


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    This was just like the days she and Chen Cang had fallen in love, which was also in autumn.


    ¡°Autumn Leaves¡± was like Chen Cang whispering in her ear, promising her ¡°I love you for a lifetime.¡±


    After some time, the piano music stopped, and at this moment, Chen Cang stood up, holding a bouquet of flowers, and slowly walked towards Qin Yue!


    Qin Yue¡¯s face reddened in an instant.


    Looking at Chen Cang, tall and handsome in his sharp suit, clutching a bunch of fiery red roses, his handsome face even more attractive than TV drama leads!


    Even more presence!


    She never thought Chen Cang could be so handsome!


    For a moment, Qin Yue was so excited her hands began to tremble, caught off guard, nervous, and uneasy!


    Just then, Chen Cang arrived in front of Qin Yue, and a band began to slowly emerge.


    They played the violin, the sound not too loud or too soft, circling around the couple, the music gentle, like the very essence of love.


    Chen Cang looked into Qin Yue¡¯s eyes and slowly said, ¡°I¡¯ve known you for 1,021 days and been in love with you for 102 days.


    Perhaps this doesn¡¯t seem like a long time, but you¡¯ve been in my heart for a very long time!¡±


    ¡°You told me, I was your first love, and since then, I¡¯ve always wanted to be my best.


    I want to show you all the beauty of love.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been so afraid of not doing well, of letting you think that love is just so-so!¡±


    ¡°I hope to give my all to offer you the happiest, most romantic, yet simplest love.¡±


    ¡°For the rest of my life, it¡¯s all you!¡±


    ¡°Qin Yue, marry me!¡±


    With those words, Chen Cang knelt on one knee, opened the ring box, and suddenly under the light, the meticulously crafted pink diamond ring sparkled, instantly electrifying everyone present!


    So beautiful!


    Even Qin Yue felt her breathing quicken, she had never seen such a beautiful diamond ring!


    Not even in a television drama was there a ring as gorgeous!


    The sound of the violin filled her ears, surrounded by the applause of everyone around.


    At that moment, patrons all around began to lift bunches of flowers from under their tables and slowly approached!


    The flowers surrounded the couple, and everyone began to utter one phrase slowly.


    ¡°Marry him!¡±


    ¡°Marry him!¡±


    ¡°Marry him!¡±


    ¡°Marry him!¡±


    a€|


    Countless languages converged amidst a sea of blooming flowers.


    Qin Yue cried like a child.


    ¡°I will!¡± Tears streamed down her cheeks as she received the proposal of her dreams.


    ¡°`


    A silly girl can also have a dreamlike romance.


    For Qin Yue, this might really be a dream.


    A dream she never wanted to wake up from.


    Chen Cang slowly slid the pink diamond ring onto her finger, and they embraced each other tightly!


    The band played romantic music all around them.


    There were also crowds holding bouquets of flowers, accompanied by continuous applause.


    In reality, Chen Cang didn¡¯t know that such a thing would happen.


    He only reserved a spot at the restaurant and booked a band for the two of thema€|


    Everything else had nothing to do with him.


    At this moment, he glanced outside and suddenly saw Zheng Guotan and his comrades laughing and clapping in the same spot, which warmed his heart immediately.


    a€|


    This restaurant itself was owned by Zheng Guotan, who merely did a very ordinary thinga€¡±he waived the bill for everyone present, asking only for them to offer their most beautiful blessings.


    And that¡¯s how today came to be!


    Zheng Guotan also hoped to facilitate a beautiful moment, allowing Chen Cang to give Qin Yue a proposal worth reminiscing about!


    Zheng Guotan looked at Chen Cang and said to his comrades with a smile, ¡°When I married Aixiang, I couldn¡¯t afford a ring, so I spent two yuan on a bottle of Coke, used the pull-tab as a ring, and Aixiang accepted my proposal.¡±


    His comrade laughed, ¡°Old pal, you¡¯ve told me this story hundreds of times.


    What are you trying to say?¡±


    Zheng Guotan rolled his eyes, ¡°What I¡¯m saying is, you could sell me a bit of your Coca-Cola shares so I can give them to my wife as a gift!¡±


    His comrade couldn¡¯t help laughing, ¡°Cunning Zheng!¡±


    a€|


    a€|


    Chen Cang glanced at Zheng Guotan and his comrades and smiled in gratitude.


    His comrade then incited the crowd, ¡°Kiss her!¡±


    After hearing this, those around them also started to chant, ¡°Kiss her!¡±


    ¡°Kiss her!¡±


    a€|


    After the lively atmosphere, Qin Yue¡¯s face was flushed red, a mix of excitement and emotion, but mostly happiness.


    She dared not raise her head to look at Chen Cang, feeling somewhat shy under the watchful eyes of the crowd!


    Chen Cang cupped Qin Yue¡¯s cheeks, gazing at her.


    Word by word, he said, ¡°I love you!¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s eyes, too, were filled with intense heat as she stared at Chen Cang, with two little figures brawling in her mind.


    Finally, she mustered up the courage and pulled Chen Cang¡¯s head closer!


    Suddenly!


    A kiss that sealed their love!


    This scene, which Qin Yue had rehearsed countless times in her mind, found her right foot slightly turned up¡­


    At this moment, Qin Yue felt she was happier than any star, and Chen Cang was more dashing than any prince charming in TV dramas!


    She was truly surprised!


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    The birthday of 2019!


    It was a day Qin Yue would never forget in her lifetime.


    And suddenly, Chen Cang thought of something!


    If he could also combine marriage and a birthday on the same day¡­


    would that mean one less anniversary to remember?


    This¡­


    was a very constructive suggestion.


    a€|


    a€|


    ps: Ah, finally the confession.


    Lovers becoming spouses at last.


    At first, I hesitated for a long time, unsure who the female lead should be.


    But as I wrote, the character of Xiao Qin flowed out more smoothly, so she became the heroine.


    It¡¯s not something I could arrange; sometimes writing a book really is about not being able to keep up with changes.


    Many female leads become less likable as they are written, but some become more and more suited to the male lead as they are developed.


    Isn¡¯t that what love in books is all about?


    Thank you: My old friend ¡°Lighter Than a Feather¡± for another 10,000 reward, truly appreciated!

 Chapter 572 - Chapter 572 Chapter 572 I

    ?Chapter 572: Chapter 572: I¡­


    Proud!


    Chapter 572: Chapter 572: I¡­


    Proud!


    ¡°Right, what¡¯s Chen Cang all dressed up for, taking Qin Yue out?¡±


    Old Qin asked thoughtfully, ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s some romantic performance, like setting up candles for a confession or something?¡±


    At this suggestion, Ji Ruyun perked up and said urgently, ¡°Yeah!


    Later when Yueyue comes back we should ask her what they were up to today.¡±


    While they were talking, the door opened.


    Qin Yue walked in with a big smile, holding a bottle of wine, ¡°Mom, a gift for you!¡±


    As she spoke, she handed over the red wine.


    Old Qin immediately took a deep sniff, ¡°Have you been drinking?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Yeah, had to drink some red wine with the western meal!


    We had dinner at Kris tonight!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    ¡°Mom, the western food there is really good!


    I¡¯ll take you there another day, and I¡¯ll get you a discount!¡±


    Qin Yue really got a taste of the capitalist opulent life today.


    Before leaving, she even got a private membership card, which offered a fifty percent discount, and most importantly, the ability to book a table in advance.


    When Qin Xiaoyuan heard this, he immediately laughed, ¡°How come I didn¡¯t know Kris gives discounts?¡±


    Qin Yue immediately spoke with animated eyebrows, ¡°Because Chen Cang is friends with the owner there, and look, he even gifted a bottle of red wine.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was suddenly stunned.


    Chen Cang is friends with Kris¡¯s owner?


    Could this guy be¡­


    pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?


    Hiding his identity and lurking in the emergency department for three years just to pursue our Qin Yue?


    In a moment, Qin Xiaoyuan had mentally concocted an entire ¡°Flirting Scholar¡± style story.


    Ji Ruyun took a closer look at the red wine and burst out laughing, ¡°Wow, it¡¯s from the Romane-Conti winery?


    Chen really put thought into this¡­


    I¡¯m liking this kid more and more now.¡±


    Old Qin looked at Ji Ruyun with disdain, thinking, just one bottle of wine and you¡¯re swayed?


    Old Qin asked, ¡°Yueyue, what did you two do today?¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s face turned red, ¡°Today, Chen Cang proposed to me.¡±


    At those words, Ji Ruyun and Old Qin got excited, ¡°Quick, tell mom how he did it.


    I said he was dressed so formally today, all suited up.¡±


    Qin Yue was eager to see the contents of the USB drive herself.


    She stood up, plugged the USB drive into the TV, and clicked play.


    Ji Ruyun was puzzled, ¡°Why are you showing me this?¡±


    Qin Yue smiled mysteriously, ¡°What you want to see is in there, and I didn¡¯t even know I was being filmed.¡±


    After she said that, the TV screen changed and music started playing automaticallya€¡±it couldn¡¯t be denied, it was professional.


    The footage began with Qin Yue getting off the taxi, nervously entering the elevator, the attention to detail being very on point.


    Then the scene switched: Qin Yue appeared inside the luxurious Kris, and at that moment, piano music started to playa€¡±a man in a white suit was playing the piano.


    The camera angle changed just so you could see his distinct side profile, and it was Chen Cang!


    Ji Ruyun was momentarily stunned, ¡°Wow, is that little Chen?


    He looks so handsome, even more so than a movie star¡­


    and he plays the piano so well!¡±


    Even Old Qin was astonished!


    He became even more certain of his conjecture.


    This guy must have been plotting for his daughter for a long time, this looks exactly like the domineering CEO of a big family¡­


    After the piano performance ended, a violin orchestra appeared, and Chen Cang held a bouquet of flowers and got down on one knee to propose.


    The romantic confession really made Qin Yue¡¯s eyes well up with tears, and even Ji Ruyun was moved!


    When the pink diamond appeared, the special lighting made it seem dazzlingly radiant, stunningly beautiful!


    Ji Ruyun¡¯s breath caught in her throat!


    That ring was so beautiful!


    Chen Cang slipped the ring on Qin Yue¡¯s finger himself, and the surrounding audience presented flowers¡­


    Such a beautiful scene!


    For a moment, Ji Ruyun couldn¡¯t stop praising Chen Cang, and of course, she had her complaints about Old Qin.


    ¡°Look at him, look at his proposal¡­


    so romantic!


    And the editing of this video¡­


    unforgettable for a lifetime!¡±


    ¡°And look at you, you didn¡¯t even propose¡­


    I¡¯m so mad¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Ji Ruyun exclaimed in amazement, reflecting, ¡°Just like in the TV shows.


    Right, Yueyue, why are you dressed in a sporty sweatshirt and pants?


    That¡¯s too¡­


    too out of place!¡±


    Qin Yue was also infuriated, ¡°That guy didn¡¯t tell me and made me look like a fool!¡±


    Ji Ruyun suddenly said, ¡°Right¡­


    what about the diamond ring?¡±


    Qin Yue took out a box from her pocket and fetched the diamond ring, ¡°Look, this was specially given to Chen Cang by one of his foreign friends, and then it was designed by a designer from Tiffany¡¯s!¡±


    Those words made Ji Ruyun stunned for a moment; she picked up her phone, scrolled through her history, and opened a webpage.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    ¡°A 5.20 carat pink diamond was auctioned by investment magnate Lennar Kohns-Seaton for 5.2 million US dollars!¡±


    The webpage also featured a photo of this pink diamond!


    On close comparison, it was exactly the same!


    This revelation dumbfounded the entire family¡­


    Qin Yue had not expected Chen Cang to give her such an expensive diamond ring¡­


    For a while, she really didn¡¯t know how to react.


    Qin Yue hesitated and then said, ¡°Chen Cang¡¯s friend¡­


    seems to be Lennar Kohns-Seaton¡­¡±


    ¡°Another friend is Zheng Guotan, who¡¯s the wealthiest man in Anyang¡­¡±


    Old Qin was utterly shocked!


    He had been worried that Little Chen wouldn¡¯t be able to provide a happy life for Xiao Qin, but now, it seemed that just selling the diamond ring would make him wealthier than himself!


    This kid is too frightening!


    Could it be that my guess was right?


    Is Chen Cang really playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger!?


    This night, the Old Qin family was destined to have some sleepless moments.


    After all, this was just too valuable.


    But this is a token of commitment!


    This could be a family heirloom now¡­


    Does this tycoon really not care about money?


    Giving away such a large and precious pink diamond just like that?


    Although Qin Yue was somewhat nervous, she felt more surprised, and after all, she felt like she became the princess in a fairy tale, with Chen Cang as her valiant prince!


    Qin Yue embellished the glorious deeds of Chen Cang, claiming he was even more incredible than the founder of the world¡¯s leading top CIS cosmetic institution, praising Chen Cang as the best in the world above and below!


    Anyway, according to Qin Xiaotian, Chen Cang was blessed with a halo.


    Listening to Ji Ruyun felt like listening to a story.


    ¡°Little Chen is really amazing!¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­


    Old Qin, Old Qin, look at Little Chen and then look at yourself.


    You used to say that one shouldn¡¯t judge by appearances but by content, yet when you look at Little Chen¡¯s content, you might as well compare appearances¡­¡±


    ¡°Look at him, he can also play the piano.


    How beautifully he plays, talented and handsome, skilled in both arts and looks, and even his surgeries are performed better than that¡­


    whatever¡­


    all done so impressively!¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­


    the difference between people¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Old Qin¡¯s heart was filled with bitterness!


    Whom have I offended?


    Why must I suffer this fate?


    The more he thought about it, the more wronged Old Qin felt.


    But¡­


    Changing his perspective, Qin Xiaoyuan thought, if Chen Cang, this young man, is successful, doesn¡¯t it mean that I am successful too?


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly felt happy as well.


    My son-in-law is amazing!


    I¡¯m proud!


    Yes¡­


    that¡¯s right.

 Chapter 573 - Chapter 573 Chapter 573 Coach Chen

    ?Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Coach Chen Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Coach Chen Watching the competition day draw ever nearer, Chen Cang¡¯s demands on himself grew higher and higher!


    His visits to the cardiac surgery department became more and more frequent!


    Now, whenever a surgery involved major blood vessels, Tao Zi would almost always call for Chen Cang.


    At first, it was Tao Zi continuously instructing Chen Cang, but gradually, Chen Cang¡¯s ¡°comprehension¡± made Tao Zi feel somewhat overwhelmed.


    Seeing how Chen Cang could pick up anything and everything, Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but look disappointedly at his two students.


    Some helplessness!


    Qian Lin and Classmate A were even more helpless!


    This¡­


    How many good days had passed?


    But¡­


    After a few days had gone by, unexpectedly, Tao Zi started to treat them better and better!


    At first, the two were trembling, thinking it was a farewell dinner!


    They ate rather solemnly!


    They also drank quite a lot!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    They made sure Tao Zi didn¡¯t drink any less.


    When drunk, people tend to talk more¡­


    Just as the two were about to complain, to their surprise, Director Tao was the first to start grumbling!


    ¡°Little Qian, Little Wang, I¡­


    I misunderstood you guys before!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang, that kid, is simply not human.


    He learns faster than a printer can print.


    Now, whenever I see that guy, I want to hide far, far away, it hurts my pride!¡±


    ¡°Now, I really understand you guys!¡±


    ¡°This kid, he¡¯s almost made me doubt my own life!¡±


    After these words, the hearts of Qian Lin and Classmate A opened up; the three of them, glass in hand, poured out their hearts with tears and snot, talking for a long time.


    The relationship between the teacher and his two students greatly improved because of that meal.


    Indeed, it started with Tao Zi teaching Chen Cang how to perform surgery, but later on, their roles started to reverse.


    Chen Cang began to instruct Tao Zi!


    This brought Tao Zi pain and joy at the same time¡­


    While suffering both mentally and physically, his skills also gradually improved.


    Tao Zi never imagined that the second spring of his surgical career would come in his fifties.


    From then on, the lives of Qian Lin and Classmate A became a lot more peaceful.


    Gone were the days of scheming between master and disciples; instead, there was a sense of empathy and heartfelt teacher-student fellowship!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Naturally, the only one in pain was not him alone.


    There was also Teacher Meng from Dongda First Hospital¡¯s cardiac surgery department.


    After Chen Cang¡¯s boastful talk that day, he suddenly received a mission.


    [Ding!


    Assist Meng Xi to enter the national competition and successfully win the excellent second-place prize.


    Completion Reward: 1.


    Meng Xi¡¯s favorability +100 (automatic replenishment); 2.


    One special training card.]


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded!


    100 points of favorability!


    That¡¯s equivalent to the master-level skills of two level-four surgeries, along with a special training card that leads directly to perfection.


    The rewards could not be said to be ungenerous.


    But¡­


    Seeing Teacher Meng¡¯s performance, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel pained and naturally had to start some devilish training!


    Thus, from the operating rooms of Dongda Hospital, came the occasional pained wails!


    In the beginning, the anaesthesiologists and surgical nurses found it somewhat unbearable.


    But gradually¡­


    it seemed they had grown accustomed to it.


    Chen Cang¡¯s direction from Meng Xi became more and more effective.


    For example, now all Chen Cang had to do was give her a slight glare, and Teacher Meng would reflexively check to see where she had made a mistake¡­


    With just a cough from Chen Cang, Teacher Meng would instinctively widen her eyes to see if she had missed any details¡­


    ?¦Ï??0.§ã¦Ï


    As time pressed on day by day, there were only two days left until the competition!


    On this day, Chen Cang, as usual, was preparing to leave work for the cardiac surgery department at Dong University First Hospital, after all, he had discovered¡­


    how addicting instruction could be!


    But then, Nurse Lin from the station hurriedly said, ¡°The East University Bridge has collapsed, and two cars have already fallen off.


    Other severe rear-end collisions have occurred, and the emergency center is asking us to head there immediately!¡±


    At these words, Chen Cang¡¯s face changed at once!


    Bridge collapse!


    Vehicular plunge!


    Multiple rear-end collisions!


    Any one of these incidents was extremely serious.


    After receiving the call, the entire emergency rescue team set out, and the three ambulances from the Second Provincial Hospital were also fully prepared for rescue!


    In fact, it wasn¡¯t just the Second Provincial Hospital, but many others, including the emergency center, were all en route!


    Such a rescue operation couldn¡¯t be handled by just one hospital.


    In a moment, several ambulances from across the city were speeding by, sirens blaring and overlapping, like a well-trained team!


    Besides the vehicles from the 120 emergency center, the 119 rescue team was also rushing over.


    Because in such rescue operations, many vehicles were severely deformed, with twisted doors that couldn¡¯t be opened!


    Some people were even pierced by metal from the car, necessitating the coordinated rescue by the 119 team!


    As the director of the emergency center, He Tong had already rushed to the scene to coordinate.


    ¡°Chen Cang from the Second Provincial Hospital, get under the bridge and start organizing the rescue!¡±


    ¡°He Ji Ren from the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, get on the bridge and help transport the injured to the hospital¡­¡±


    ¡°Guo Yunfei from the Cardiovascular Hospital, get under the bridge and rapidly attend to the injured¡­¡±


    ¡­


    He Tong had a thorough understanding of the city¡¯s emergency teams.


    Although it was not possible to know everyone intimately, he had a good sense of the key figures.


    The overpass was only about three meters from the ground, but such a fall was still highly dangerous!


    By now, the area was completely cordoned off by police, and the entire rescue operation was proceeding in an orderly fashion.


    After parking the car, Chen Cang and Wang Kai¡¯an dashed down, each with a medical kit and rushed towards the scene.


    At the same time, a man wearing glasses was leading two people towards the bridge.


    The man¡¯s face seemed very amicable, but through the glasses, one could still feel the sharpness of his gaze.


    Among the fallen were two sedans, one a latest version of the Passat, now severely damaged with the front of the engine caved in, twisted doors, and blood visible through the window!


    There were at least three people inside!


    The other, a Haval H9, had crashed into a flower bed upon falling, and with airbags deployed, the fate of the people inside was unknown!


    Chen Cang glanced at Guo Yunfei and made a decision, running towards the car closest to him!


    Chen Cang took one look at the Passat, and his heart tightened as well.


    A comrade from the 119 arrived and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor, please step aside, I¡¯ll get the door open!¡±


    The car door had already twisted inwards, the lock was destroyed and could not be opened, so a saw would be needed to cut it!


    Chen Cang nodded and immediately stepped back, then began preparing the rescue supplies, ready to launch a rapid and effective rescue as soon as the car door opened!


    This was extremely important!

 Chapter 574 - Chapter 574 Chapter 574 Rescue (Part 1)

    ?Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Rescue (Part 1) Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Rescue (Part 1) The car¡¯s front windshield was full of cracks, and two firefighters carefully pried it open with tools!


    In an instant, loud cries could be heard!


    There were children!


    At this moment, the hearts of everyone around sank!


    The driver was a man, covered in blood and unconscious, his life hanging in the balance!


    The passenger was a woman in her thirties; although her face was not visibly bloodied, she too had passed out!


    The front of the car was caved in, making it very difficult to extract the people from the front through the windshield!


    In the back seat¡­


    there were two children!


    At this time, the professional skills and quality of the firefighters were fully demonstrated.


    In less than five minutes, all four car doors were opened.


    Chen Cang quickly stepped forward, setting down the stretcher and cooperating with the firefighters to carefully move the injured out.


    The woman¡¯s leg bones were severely fractured!


    The twisted angle and the sight of fresh blood was chilling.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    The two children in the back, one was crying loudly, the other unconscious.


    Chen Cang entered the car and saw that one was a boy of about ten years old, and in the middle seat, installed with an infant car seat, was a girl under three years of age!


    At that time, the older boy was lying on top of the little girl; due to the impact on the rear seats, it seemed that the little girl was not too badly hurt.


    Seeing this scene, Chen Cang paused for a moment!


    He quickly called people over, carefully lifting the older boy out, who showed no obvious signs of injury but was indeed unconscious.


    After the little girl was brought out of the car, seeing her father covered in blood and both her mother and brother also having passed out, she burst into uncontrollable crying.


    She kept calling out, ¡°Mom¡­


    Dad¡­


    Brother¡­


    wake up¡­


    ¡±


    This was a family of four!


    But who could have expected such an accident.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t dare to linger here any longer!


    This was not a safe area!


    After all, the car itself had suffered serious damage and could even explode; during such an emergency rescue, the first thing to do was move the injured to a relatively safe place.


    At this time, the man was unconscious, and while his pulse and respiration were still present, his breathing was very faint and could stop at any moment!


    Wang Kai¡¯an, upon seeing this, also frowned immediatelya€¡±it could be a hemothorax!


    Without hesitation, Chen Cang used his hands to tear open the man¡¯s clothes.


    Open the airway!


    Stop the bleeding!


    These were likely the most critical actions at the moment.


    Observing the blood that kept flowing out, the two sighed with relief; the blood was dark red, a sign of venous bleeding.


    Compared to arterial flow, it was not from a major vein.


    This was good news!


    Generally speaking, arterial bleeding is characteristically fast and spurting, and the blood is bright red, while capillary bleeding leads to oozing droplets that quickly clot, which is not as critical to worry about.


    The most severe injuries in car accidents are head, chest, and abdominal trauma.


    The patient had obvious cranial injuries and a concave chest.


    Apply pressure to stop the bleeding!


    Blood pressure check¡­


    Now, while there was indeed cranial damage, the hemothorax was seriously affecting the patient¡¯s respiration, and immediate measures had to be taken.


    Wang Kai¡¯an said to Chen Cang, ¡°He needs a chest puncture, or else breathing will become a problem.


    ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    If it¡¯s not done¡­


    ¡±


    Chen Cang quickly nodded in agreement!


    This may be the most important reason for the life safety of patients in critical conditions now!


    Hemothorax is dangerous, and can threaten life at any moment due to shock.


    Chen Cang and Wang Kai¡¯an hurriedly began thoracocentesis!


    There was no way to accurately assess the bleeding amount at the moment, but once they started drawing blood, Chen Cang and Wang Kai¡¯an grew increasingly anxious!


    Because it seemed the bleeding had already exceeded five hundred milliliters, at the very least it was a moderate hemothorax.


    Wang Kai¡¯an looked at the blood, ¡°There is progressive bleeding!¡±


    Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°You take him to the hospital first, contact neurosurgery immediately for rescue, I¡¯ll check on the other patients.¡±


    Wang Kai¡¯an nodded, and after slightly alleviating the hemothorax, the two of them placed the patient on the bed, preventing any head or body movement, and hurried towards the Second Provincial Hospital.


    They dare not delay for even half a minute!


    The little boy seemed to have fainted from fright, with vital signs basically normal, which also allowed Chen Cang to breathe a sigh of relief!


    Then the second vehicle from the Second Provincial Hospital arrived, Qin Yue and Wang Qian got off together, and Chen Cang quickly began to transfer the woman.


    At that moment, the woman suddenly woke up!


    As soon as she opened her eyes, she tried to get up, but the severe pain in her knee rendered her powerless.


    Looking at Chen Cang, she cried out, ¡°Doctor, save my children!¡±


    ¡°You must save them,¡±


    ¡°Where is my husband¡­


    where did my husband go¡­¡±


    The woman soon became inconsolable!


    Chen Cang hurriedly reassured her, ¡°The children are all right, rest assured, your husband has been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, don¡¯t worry!¡±


    After hearing this, the woman¡¯s emotions stabilized somewhat.


    At this time, the little girl stumbled towards her mother, crying out, ¡°Mommy¡­


    Daddy bled a lot¡­


    brother fainted too.¡±


    The woman quickly protected her child, urgently comforting her, and even though she had a serious fracture in her left leg, she stopped crying all at once, seemingly forgetting the pain!


    She knew at this moment, she was the backbone for her children, she must not cry!


    Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Go to the hospital first, don¡¯t delay, we need to stabilize the lower limbs.¡±


    Wang Qian and Qin Yue nodded their heads and began to prepare.


    The little girl followed suit and got into the vehicle to leave.


    At this moment, an older firefighter approached and said, ¡°Obviously, the other party was prepared before coming down, so the injuries are not serious, and the front of the vehicle provided some cushioning.


    The woman must have been protecting herself to get a fracture; it wasn¡¯t easy!¡±


    Chen Cang thought back to the firefighter¡¯s words and nodded his head!


    This might be a blessing in disguise.


    The little boy was also delivered to the Second Provincial Hospital, and just as Chen Cang was about to follow the vehicle back, he suddenly heard another group assigning tasks, ¡°You transfer the patients, I and Xiao Yu prepare for the surgery, move quickly!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed!


    He quickly said to Zhang Wenfu in the following vehicle, ¡°You go back first, organize the surgery, I¡¯ll see what¡¯s going on over there.¡±


    Zhang Wenfu nodded, called to the driver, and headed back to the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang took big steps and hurried to the front vehicle, only to see an iron rod from the barrier in front of the man had pierced his chest, and most critically, the man was very conscious at the time.


    The iron rod had pierced directly through the front chest into the driver¡¯s seat, pinning the man in place, unable to move.


    However, his expression was not very panicked; looking at Guo Yunfei, he said, ¡°Doctor¡­


    are my wife and children alright?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Guo Yunfei immediately nodded, ¡°They¡¯re okay, relax, don¡¯t get tensed.¡±


    Hearing that his wife and children were fine, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed quite a bit.


    But¡­


    his condition was very unstable, and if he wasn¡¯t rescued in time, it was very likely he would die on the spot!


    Guo Yunfei¡¯s eyes firmly met the man¡¯s, ¡°We will do our best to save you!¡±


    The man chuckled, blood trickling down his cheek, ¡°Thank you¡­¡±

 Chapter 575 - Chapter 575 Chapter 575 Are you forcing me to rise in rebellion

    ?Chapter 575: Chapter 575: Are you forcing me to rise in rebellion?


    Chapter 575: Chapter 575: Are you forcing me to rise in rebellion?


    Chen Cang knew that after the emergency vehicle from the Second Provincial Hospital returned, many directors would be present, fully capable of organizing effective rescue efforts.


    But the scene was different!


    Changes could occur at any moment.


    Take, for example, the man currently impaled in his seat inside the Haval vehicle.


    If he wasn¡¯t transferred and operated on immediately, he had a one in ten chance of survival!


    With a major blood vessel penetrated in the chest, the position alone indicated that the surgery would be extremely risky.


    The thoracic major blood vessel was likely already damaged, and not just in one place!


    Thanks to the airbag, the man¡¯s head had indeed been effectively protected.


    At that moment, his complexion was pale, his breathing was weak, and even opening his eyes seemed difficult!


    Watching this scene, Guo Yunfei felt a sinking feeling in his heart!


    The man had to be removed from the car first.


    There was nothing to be done while he was still in the vehicle.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã?


    The firefighters had sawed off the entire side of the car door with an electric saw, and now they needed to shorten the iron bars in front of and behind the man.


    At this time, everyone¡¯s hearts were in their throats!


    The impaled location was very close to the heart!


    It was more difficult than the steel rod through the chest that Chen Cang had encountered previously.


    However, with each passing minute, lives were slipping away.


    After a car accident, there is talk of a ¡°platinum ten minutes¡± and a ¡°golden hour¡± for rescue.


    This meant that if rescue was completed within ten minutes, the success rate would be very high, and even one hour provided a guarantee, but any longer¡­


    it became exceedingly difficult.


    The firefighters were very professional.


    Two strong men directly said, ¡°Old Yang, we¡¯ll hold onto you while cutting, first saw off the seat!


    Then we¡¯ll saw off the iron rod!¡±


    Old Yang nodded: ¡°Hold tight!¡±


    That ¡°hold tight¡± was no simple matter!


    The vibrations and heat generated by the sawing could cause all kinds of damage to a person¡¯s body.


    Chen Cang gritted his teeth, reached out a hand, and took hold of the back part.


    Guo Yunfei looked up and curiously gazed at Chen Cang, who was dressed in a white lab coat, and noticed ¡°Second People¡¯s Hospital of Dongyang Province¡± written over the left chest, along with an emergency department badge that read Chen Cang.


    Without saying much, Guo Yunfei joined hands with Chen Cang and held on tight!


    As the electric saw vibrated, everyone¡¯s hands trembled, but they tried to maintain balance, while the man, who was nearly unconscious, cried out in pain!


    ??¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    The process lasted less than a minute!


    Yet everyone¡¯s hands still felt a trembling fatigue.


    Thankfully, the rod was hollow; otherwise, it would have been even more dangerous!


    With a united effort, the man was quickly transferred onto the open ground.


    After all this ordeal, the man was now in hemorrhagic shock.


    After much effort, they finally managed to get the patient onto the ambulance with Guo Yunfei¡¯s coordination.


    ¡°Cardiac monitoring!¡±


    ¡°Infuse fluids!¡±


    The nurse nodded and hurriedly began to prepare.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t pause, taking scissors and cutting open the man¡¯s clothes.


    Blood could still be seen flowing out.


    As soon as the monitor was connected, a continuous beep of alarms began to sound.


    The blood pressure was only 70/40 mmHg!


    His breathing was so weak it felt suffocating, and his heart rate was dropping steadily¡­


    The man seemed to be losing all signs of life.


    Chen Cang looked at the bulge in the chest area, glanced at Guo Yunfei, and just as he was about to speak, he saw that Guo Yunfei was already holding a puncture needle, and he looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, thank you for your hard work.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, appreciatively observing Guo Yunfei!


    Guo Yunfei peered at the cardiac monitor.


    After using a stethoscope to feel for and pinpoint the location, he blindly inserted the needle in!


    Chen Cang quickly began to draw blood!


    He extracted about 150 milliliters, and the heartbeat began to recover, but the blood pressure remained unchanged.


    A major hemorrhage caused by the rupture of a thoracic vessel.


    Guo Yunfei frowned, then looked at the nurse and said, ¡°Prepare for emergency surgery!¡±


    The nurse calmly took out a box from below, got the surgical instruments ready, and then began to lay out the drapes to prepare for surgery!


    This caught Chen Cang off guard!


    Seeing this setup, it seemed like they often performed surgeries in the ambulance?


    They were so well prepared, even the nurse didn¡¯t show a hint of panic.


    Indeed, as a star figure in the emergency medical field of Dongyang Province, Guo Yunfei¡¯s nurses were fixed.


    As long as Guo Yunfei was there, the nurses would be ready to assist in the rescue; and when Guo Yunfei stood up to leave, the nurses would closely follow him.


    Guo Yunfei glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, we need to prepare for surgery right now, or by the time we get to the hospital, the patient will be gone!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll help you!¡±


    Guo Yunfei nodded gratefully, started sterilizing, laying out the drapes, and preparing for surgery!


    Yet he was also curious because he noticed that Chen Cang, upon seeing the surgery in the ambulance, showed neither shock nor curiosity?


    In the rescue vehicle, with equipment ready, Guo Yunfei directly chose to enter through the fifth intercostal space of the sternuma€¡±an angle that was safe and reliable, and wouldn¡¯t damage the large blood vessels, while also providing a view of the chest cavity!


    With Chen Cang¡¯s help, the surgery went very smoothly!


    After opening the chest, Chen Cang quickly started aspirating fluids, while Guo Yunfei didn¡¯t stop either, monitoring the major blood vessels and constantly looking for the bleeding point!


    The hollow iron rod had pierced right through the aortic arch, with blood pouring out relentlessly, and there was also damage between the ascending aorta and the pericardium at the back!


    Without an extracorporeal circulation machine, doing surgery on the ascending aorta was nearly impossible!


    But with such severe bleeding, what should they do?


    Even though there was no need to consider the aortic arch at this point, the damage to the ascending aorta could no longer be controlled with a hemostat.


    What to do?


    Guo Yunfei¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed!


    Chen Cang was the same, his eyes fixed intently on the damaged area as he looked up at the cardiac monitor.


    There could be no more delays!


    Chen Cang directly said, ¡°Give me the scalpel, you do the suturing!¡±


    That one sentence left Guo Yunfei momentarily stunned!


    What did that mean?


    Suture like this?


    Has he gone mad?


    Operating on the patient¡¯s ascending aorta while the heart was still functioning!


    Even having conducted surgeries in an ambulance on many occasions, this was the first time he faced doing an operation on the heart and ascending aorta while it was still beating¡­


    But never had he imagined that Chen Cang would leave him no time to think!


    With decisive action, Chen Cang made an incision, causing blood to squirt out, the ascending aorta was torn, likely a contusion wound from impact, and once the protective pericardium was removed, blood appeared immediately!


    Guo Yunfei gave Chen Cang a look!


    You, bastard¡­


    what now?


    The pericardium is open¡­


    stop the bleeding!


    How the hell do you stop the bleeding?


    Guo Yunfei was close to crying¡­


    But!


    Just then, in that lightning-fast moment, Chen Cang made his move!


    He used his hands to grasp both ends of the ascending aorta while quickly turning to grab two lateral wall hemostats!


    With the two hemostats in place, the damaged area of the ascending aorta was instantly staunched!


    This spectacle left Guo Yunfei dumbfounded!


    What kind of divine operation was this?


    Damn!


    Wasn¡¯t this way too ruthless?


    Indeed, Chen Cang¡¯s series of actions, from opening the pericardium to clamping the vessel with lateral wall hemostats, took less than 30 seconds!


    This made Guo Yunfei, who was holding the sutures, swallow hard in disbelief¡­


    He¡¯s forcing me into a corner!


    Guo Yunfei couldn¡¯t help but look up at this fierce person!

 Chapter 576 - Chapter 576 Chapter 576 Handsome

    ?Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Handsome¡­


    Stunned?


    Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Handsome¡­


    Stunned?


    Indeed!


    At this moment, Guo Yunfei was scared half to death by Chen Cang¡¯s ruthless procedure!


    Can¡¯t you give me a moment to react?


    This guy doesn¡¯t say a word and instantly starts the surgery¡­


    That¡¯s way too fierce!


    Even Guo Yunfei, who had seen a lot and been through many experiences, was startled by Chen Cang.


    After all, the sight of blood spurting out from a quickly opened pericardium made him feel as though his thoughts couldn¡¯t keep up with Chen Cang¡¯s hands!


    If Guo Yunfei was initially chilled to the bone by the sudden incision, then the rapid hemostasis that followed truly shocked him!


    That¡¯s just too awesome!


    In the situation where the heart was still beating, to rapidly stop the bleeding with a side wall hemostatic clamp, it was not merely a test of someone¡¯s courage, but a display of supreme confidence in one¡¯s skills!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Thinking this, Guo Yunfei couldn¡¯t help but lift his head to take a look.


    And he couldn¡¯t help but feel shocked!


    Chen Cang from the Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s emergency department?


    Why hadn¡¯t he heard much about such a formidable person in the field of emergency medicine before?


    The nurse beside him looked at Guo Yunfei with some bewilderment.


    How long has it been since they saw him lose his composure like this?


    Quite a while, right?


    As the youngest emergency department director in Dongyang Province, Guo Yunfei was a fast-tracked promotion.


    Even though his mentor was the dean of the Cardiovascular Hospital, not a single person in the hospital gossiped, because Guo Yunfei¡¯s abilities left everyone without any room to criticize!


    ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    But just now, Director Guo evidently seemed a bit lost and uneasy, even somewhat stunned.


    This was somewhat surprising to the nurse.


    Glancing over at Chen Cang, could it be¡­


    was this what they called getting ¡°stunned by awe¡±¡­?


    Because this young doctor indeed seemed a bit more handsome than Director Guo.


    Skills?


    She hadn¡¯t paid any attention to Chen Cang¡¯s procedure just now, not to mention¡­


    she felt that Director Guo was the best in the world, yes!


    Absolutely!


    Chen Cang, noticing Guo Yunfei in a daze, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Doctor Guo, shall we suture?¡±


    Guo Yunfei snapped out of his stupor and quickly turned around, saying, ¡°You know who I am?¡±


    Of course, Chen Cang didn¡¯t know¡­


    but do you not have a name badge?


    Chen Cang had only realized who it was after seeing the name badgea€¡±it was Guo Yunfei?


    He had heard this name more than once, mentioned by both Meng Xi and Tao Zi.


    Today, Chen Cang finally met the man himself¡­


    It seemed¡­


    there was a discrepancy!


    This refined man wearing glasses seemed a bit slow to react¡­


    Could he handle emergency cases?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    He sighed, and upon hearing Guo Yunfei¡¯s question, he very sociably said, ¡°I¡¯ve long admired your reputation!¡±


    Guo Yunfei, though his face didn¡¯t change color, felt inwardly thrilled.


    Even though there were many who had long admired his reputation on an ordinary day, he didn¡¯t know why, but hearing Chen Cang say it made him especially happy.


    Thinking this, Guo Yunfei decided that he should show off his skills!


    Right!


    Show off his skills!


    The patient¡¯s heart was still beating, and the contused laceration in the ascending aorta region had already been cleverly clamped by Chen with a side wall hemostatic clamp, but performing suturing on the ascending aorta without establishing an extracorporeal circulation was indeed extremely pressure-packed!


    ¡°But it¡¯s not okay not to sew it up!


    Because although the hemostatic forceps on the side wall have already clamped the blood vessel, the remaining circulation is very narrow, and with the current existence of hemorrhagic shock, the prolonged lack of good blood supply is very likely to lead to ischemic hypoxia of the brain tissue!


    Guo Yunfei took a deep breath and hurriedly grabbed the needle holder, beginning to suture in an orderly fashion!


    Although the injury had been clamped by the non-invasive side-wall hemostatic forceps, achieving a good suture was still somewhat strenuous!


    With blood spurting out from the heart chamber in bursts, this seemingly weak force could actually have a significant impact on the suture of the ascending aorta!


    This is the ascending aorta, and suturing it is very challenging!


    But at this moment, Guo Yunfei¡¯s expression was calm, and his right hand, holding the needle holder, was very stable; his left hand carefully maintained the wound area of the suture zone, swiftly beginning to suture!


    The needle rose and fell, employing a succinct techniquea€¡±an annoyingly complex suture method, but the advantages of this technique were also quite obvious!


    Therefore, in terms of suture speed requirements, it demanded more from the surgeon, demanding mastery of suture skills and a faster suturing speed!


    And Guo Yunfei was doing very well in this aspect!


    He was fast!


    Moreover, Chen Cang was concentrating intensely.


    All of a sudden, he noticed that during suturing, Guo Yunfei made a subtle adjustment to the tension in the blood vessela€¡±a detail that immediately made Chen Cang focus and watch carefully!


    This seemingly inadvertent adjustment might appear to others as just a habitual finishing movement where, after each interrupted through-and-through suture, he slightly felt the tension of the line with the needle holder; this¡­


    looked casual, but was actually quite distinct!


    While Chen Cang was observing seriously, Guo Yunfei glanced at Chen Cang, his eyes twitched!


    Could it be he noticed?


    Indeed, he is not ordinary!


    He does have a bit of a discerning eye.


    Thinking this, Guo Yunfei took the initiative to explain, ¡°Although the ascending aorta, descending aorta, aortic arch, and anonymous artery may seem like just large chest blood vessels, the long-term blood flow velocity makes the tension in the inner lining of the vessels different.


    When suturing, you need to sensitively feel this tension!¡±


    ¡°With this in mind, the suture effects on different vessels can vary greatly!¡±


    ¡°The ascending aorta is where the blood forcefully jets out from the left ventricle, with considerable vessel tension.


    That way¡­¡±


    Guo Yunfei didn¡¯t hold back, and directly shared the details with Chen Cang.


    In fact, he had never hidden this from his team members, but he would never actively speak of it.


    However, if anyone sensed the presence of this tension, he would go on to explain.


    It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t want to talk about it.


    It¡¯s just that if one¡¯s skill level isn¡¯t there yet, it would be counterproductive, like trying to help the shoots grow by pulling them up!


    Vascular suturing is indeed something that one improves at step by step, with a clear path to follow; it can¡¯t be accomplished overnight.


    He hadn¡¯t expected Chen Cang, so young, to have discovered the presence of vessel tension.


    Impressive!


    The young man has a promising future!


    Chen Cang, upon hearing Guo Yunfei¡¯s explanation, smiled appreciatively.


    What seemed like a casual reminder boosted him a lot during a bottleneck phase!


    This Guo Yunfei indeed has some level!


    No wonder he is so favored by the extremely discerning Teacher Meng and also highly appreciated by the veteran in the field, Director Tao Zi.


    It seems that his reputation is well-deserved!


    Before long, the suture was complete.


    After Chen Cang removed the non-invasive side-wall hemostatic forceps, blood flowed smoothly without any deep bleeding; the suture was very precise!


    Quite impressive suturing skills!


    Now that the major bleeding in the patient had been stopped, other surgeries could be carried out after transferring to the hospital.


    Guo Yunfei glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Thank you, Doctor Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, I should be the one thanking you, Doctor Guo; your suturing was excellent!¡±


    Guo Yunfei smiled, indeed, he was confident in his suturing!


    Just as Chen Cang got out of the car, suddenly the system notification sound rang out.


    He couldn¡¯t help but be stunned¡­¡±

    Chen Cang was suddenly stunned!


    Looking at Guo Yunfei, who was brimming with confidence, he took a deep breath!


    Ah¡­


    Dr.


    Guo is such a good person!


    Not only is he leaving, but he also gave me a gift, thinking about it makes me feel quite embarrassed.


    No wonder Teacher Meng and Director Tao complimented you, if it were up to me¡­


    I would too!

    ¡­


    After cleaning up, Chen Cang then went to the bridge, where Director He Tong from the emergency center was still on site, organizing the rescue work in a tense and orderly manner.


    Seeing Chen Cang coming over, he quickly asked, ¡°Xiao Chen, how is it?


    Have the patients all been transferred?¡±


    He Tong came from a clinical background at a time when it was popular to switch between professional and administrative positions; he directly joined the emergency center and had been there for over a decade, never changing his place of work but occasionally his post.


    He genuinely dedicated his life to the work at the emergency center!


    Every time a major rescue event occurred, he was basically on scene to command; his friendships with Li Baoshan, Wang Xiangjun, and others were forged during disaster relief efforts!


    He Tong had considerable influence in the emergency center, not only because he was the director, but most importantly because of his professional attitude!


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°They¡¯ve all been taken to the hospital.


    Director Tao and his team are already preparing for the surgery, the specifics are unknown.


    Is the situation here severe?


    Director He, do I need to help with anything?¡±


    After some consideration, He Tong replied, ¡°No need, you go straight to the hospital and see if there¡¯s anything in the operating room that needs help.


    The situation here is not too serious.¡±


    In He Tong¡¯s mind, Chen Cang should be involved in more urgent tasks; they could handle matters here without him.


    Chen Cang nodded, got up, hailed a taxi, and went straight back to the Provincial Second Hospital.


    His white lab coat was already stained with a lot of fresh blood.


    Chen Cang simply took it off, rolled it into a bundle, but didn¡¯t throw it away; it could still be worn after washing¡­


    How many white lab coats had he gone through this month alone?


    The Provincial Second Hospital was quite humane about this; lab coats were covered by departmental expenses and did not need to be purchased.


    Wasting lab coats like this, ¡°Mother Tian,¡± the head nurse, would surely grumble again; better persevere, perhaps it could come clean¡­


    Never think that a doctor¡¯s white lab coat is as pristinely white and beautiful as a wedding dress¡­


    In reality, it bears all sorts of pen marks, grease stains, and various bodily fluids, and naturally, the most common of all are the faint bloodstains.


    It might be the cleanest yet the dirtiest thing at the same time.


    Every day Chen Cang had to change into a new white lab coat because there were always fresh bloodstains on his coat; it was truly unavoidable.


    However, the hospital washed the lab coats once a week, and since Chen Cang wore each only once, he had enough to rotate through!


    Compared to Teacher Meng, Chen Cang felt he was doing okay; his could still be washed, but how to deal with missing buttons?


    He was already wearing the largest size¡­


    At this thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh; being a student really is never-ending¡­


    hard work!


    The taxi driver, upon seeing Chen Cang, immediately asked curiously, ¡°Young man, are you¡­


    a doctor?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and nodded, ¡°Mhm.¡±


    ¡°Did anyone die in the accident just now?¡± the driver asked worriedly.


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°No fatalities for the time being; I reckon they should all be able to be saved.


    Please rest assured.¡±


    The taxi driver heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, ¡°Ah¡­


    For those of us who drive on the roads, we fear traffic accidents the most.


    Every time such an incident occurs, it feels quite helpless.


    Fortunately, there are you guys.


    But you work really hard.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Understanding is precious.¡±


    Once they reached the hospital entrance, the taxi driver refused to take any money no matter what.


    Chen Cang had cash on him and simply left 10 yuan before walking off; it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to give more¡­


    but that was all the cash he had, the change from breakfast.


    Upon arriving at the hospital, Chen Cang went straight to the operating room.


    The emergency operations had already commenced in an orderly fashion.


    Director Tao Zi was leading the team personally, and with Wang Kai¡¯an as the deputy head of thoracic surgery providing solid technical support, the rescue efforts for the man were going smoothly!


    However, Chen Cang found the upcoming cranial surgery exhilarating!


    To tell the truth, every surgeon harbors the desire to crack open a skull¡­


    After all, this is the holy land where a surgeon¡¯s skills are truly tested!


    Chen Cang was no different!


    Harboring a slim hope that his skill-stealing ability might trigger, Chen Cang watched an entire surgery¡­


    He wanted to intervene, but realized that apart from giving some encouraging looks, he really didn¡¯t know what to do!


    Cranial surgery is extremely delicate, and many of the instruments are specialized.


    Fortunately, the man only had a skull fracture with accompanying subarachnoid hemorrhage, so the surgery wasn¡¯t too difficult, and the rescue went smoothly!


    What a pity though¡­


    The hope for a mixed bonus from an ¡°eye assist¡± was too slim, and he had already ¡°learned¡± a skill from Guo Yunfei today, so there was no trigger yet.


    After the surgery was finished, Lu Xin, the head of Neurosurgery, looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, what do you think?


    Are you interested in learning Neurosurgery?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, about to speak.


    Tao Zi said quietly from the side, ¡°No, he doesn¡¯t want to!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned.


    Nonsense!


    Who says I don¡¯t want to?


    Lu Xin was taken aback and glared at Tao Zi, ¡°I think he¡¯s very interested!¡±


    ¡­


    For a moment, the two senior directors engaged in a battle of words.


    Nonetheless, they both enjoyed the banter, and other doctors around them were used to it.


    Chen Cang could only sigh helplessly.


    In fact¡­


    he really was interested¡­


    But just like eating a meal one bite at a time, surgery and emergency departments need neurosurgeons tooa€¡±cranial injuries are not uncommon and carry a high mortality rate.


    The surgery went smoothly, and Chen Cang returned to the emergency department, entering the observation room.


    Suddenly, he saw that three-year-old girl staring quietly at her mother.


    The ten-year-old boy beside her held her hand, lowering his head to the little girl, ¡°Shh¡­


    Mom just had surgery and fell asleep, Ni Ni, don¡¯t wake her.¡±


    The little girl nodded and stood there, her gaze fixed on her mother, her heart filled with thoughts she couldn¡¯t express.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.?¦Ï


    But as she clenched her brother¡¯s index finger tightly, she suddenly felt a lot more at ease inside.


    Chen Cang glanced over and walked out, asking Chang Lina, ¡°Have you contacted their relatives?¡±


    Chang Lina sighed, ¡°I got in touch with their grandparents, but they¡¯re from out of town.


    They can only arrive by tomorrow¡¯s train.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and asked, ¡°Who¡¯s on night duty today?


    Please take care of the children.¡±


    At that moment, Lele walked in with an armful of snacks.


    Chen Cang was surprised, ¡°Lele, you¡¯re already so¡­


    plump, and you¡¯re still buying so many snacks?


    Aren¡¯t you afraid of getting the three highs?¡±


    Lele snorted unconcernedly and smiled at Chen Cang, ¡°I bought these for the kids.


    I saw they were quite pitiful.


    I¡¯m on night shift anyway, and I have to eat, so I just bought some extra for them.¡±


    Chen Cang saw that the snacks were all things kids like to eat and couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    The nurses in the emergency department weren¡¯t very old, mostly in their mid-twenties, younger than Chen Cang.


    The emergency department often has young children, and the nurses usually look after thema€¡±kind-hearted and attentive.


    It would be a different story if you left the children to big fellows like Chen Cang.


    They might forget about them in the midst of their busyness¡­


    ¡­


    ps: I¡¯m truly sorry, as the year draws near, I was busy tidying up this afternoon and didn¡¯t manage to write three chapters.


    I¡¯m just posting two for now, and I¡¯ll work through the night to get the third chapter out to post it all together tomorrow at noon.

    Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Near Perfect!


    Qin Yue had been on edge these past few days¡­


    She found that the data Chen Cang gave her was much more difficult than usual.


    After spending several days, she hadn¡¯t figured it out, which annoyed Qin Yue a lot.


    Finally, after she managed to input a bunch of data into the SPSS statistical software, she got the results.


    As she looked at the numbers in the data, Qin Yue was utterly confused!


    I spent several days just to come up with a few mistakes?


    This is bullshit!


    ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Qin Yue was instantly furious with embarrassment!


    A surge of murderous intent towards Cang rose in her.


    But just as she was about to close the SPSS software, she suddenly saw the data in the table and paused for a moment.


    Upon a closer look at the data, she suddenly realized that after inputting it into the SPSS software, the variance analysis, F-test, t-test¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    all had a series of results:


    5, 2, 0!


    Qin Yue was dumbfounded in an instant.


    How¡­


    how is this possible?


    To have all this data contain 520 no matter which analysis method is used?


    How difficult must that have been?


    Thinking of Chen Cang¡¯s lame statistical skills, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but be moved.


    This guy must have Baidu¡¯d it!


    She picked up her phone and directly sent Chen Cang a message, ¡°I¡¯m crying, the inconsolable type!¡±


    Chen Cang, lying in his bed, looked at the WeChat message and was instantly baffled¡­


    What did I do wrong?


    Was it because someone reported that teacher Meng¡¯s lab coat buttons were undone?


    But¡­


    nobody saw that for sure!


    Chen Cang instinctively sent a message, ¡°I¡­


    was wrong?¡±


    Seeing the message, Qin Yue touched her tears, not because she was moved, but because she had been staring at the computer screen for so long her eyes were sore and tears streamed down!


    Can¡¯t you just confess properly?


    Do you have to give me a bunch of data to calculate?


    Is being the girlfriend of a scholar this tough?


    Thinking thus, Qin Yue directly replied, ¡°Don¡¯t you know what you¡¯ve done yourself?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, what exactly had he done?


    This little thing¡­


    I didn¡¯t even complain about you being slow, and you¡¯re blaming me?


    I sent you such simple data because I wanted to move you, and yet you haven¡¯t figured it out after all these days, he thought and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Falling in love can be so silly, what will happen when we get married and have kids?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but worry about Chen Xiaocang¡¯s intelligence.


    Chen Cang innocently said, ¡°At least let me die with an understanding.¡±


    Qin Yue directly took a photo of her phone with the computer screen, ¡°Is this data you sent me just some silly way to make me find a 520?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Of course not!¡±


    Qin Yue became curious, ¡°Oh?


    Is there a hidden secret?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, considering this girl¡¯s intelligence, it might take until tomorrow, ¡°It¡¯s actually five 520s¡­¡±


    Qin Yue wanted to smash her computer at Chen Cang, ¡°Wasting my damn time.¡±


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°Isn¡¯t falling in love about romantically wasting time?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue paused for a moment, feeling like¡­


    he might have a point.


    Just then, Chen Cang suddenly smiled and sent a photo!


    ¡°I was going to give this to you after you had figured it out, but since it¡¯s late, consider it a reward.¡±


    Qin Yue opened the photo, and upon seeing it, she was stunned!


    ¡°Damn!


    Hubby¡­


    you¡¯re too amazing!¡±


    ¡°So awesome, I love you so much!¡±


    Without a second thought, Qin Yue blurted out a sentence and sent a voice message!


    It didn¡¯t occur to her to consider whether Qin Xiaoyuan would be asleep at this time.


    Standing in the living room, holding a teacup, and preparing to drink water, his hand quivered suddenly!


    Just like that, it¡¯s ¡°husband¡±?!?!


    And ¡°too amazing¡±?


    If it weren¡¯t for Qin Xiaoyuan assuring that there was no one else at home, he would have rushed into Qin Yue¡¯s bedroom to check!


    Realizing the commotion outside, Qin Yue hastily typed, ¡°You published another paper?


    And it¡¯s in ¡®The British Journal of Surgery¡¯!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah, I guess with this one, your application for the review-system Ph.D.


    shouldn¡¯t be a problem now, right?¡±


    Qin Yue immediately felt incredibly touched.


    The two of them chatted sweetly until 12:30, then reluctantly went to sleep, agreeing to do naughty things in their dreams.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day, after Chen Cang arrived at the hospital, he didn¡¯t seem to have much to do in the morning and opened the notes on ascending aortic anastomosis that Guo Yunfei had worked on, beginning to study carefully.


    As he clicked to read, a flood of memories surged, and countless memories about ascending aortic suturing, feelings, and techniques entangled with his own memories in Chen Cang¡¯s mind.


    When Chen Cang saw these notes, he felt as if he was in a meditative trance.


    After all, ¡°Three cobblers with their wits combined to exceed the wisdom of Zhu Geliang,¡± as the saying goes!


    The memories of ascending aortic procedures from both Chen Cang and Guo Yunfei merged continuously, blending together and creating a chemical reaction.


    One reaction after another crackled and popped, providing Chen Cang with an endless stream of ideas and inspiration!


    Before long, Chen Cang suddenly opened his eyes and heard the system¡¯s notification sound!


    [Ding!


    Your ascending aortic repair technique has been elevated to near perfect!


    Please complete 10 ascending aortic surgeries with a score of over 90 to automatically upgrade to perfect!]


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was stunned.


    What the heck is ¡°near perfect¡±?


    Is there even such a term as ¡°near perfect¡±?


    But seeing the system notification, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and headed for the cardiac surgery department on the eighth floor.


    Completing 10 ascending aortic surgeries would elevate his skill to perfect.


    Such an opportunity was indeed rare!


    Just stepping off the elevator, Chen Cang ran into Tao Zi, and his eyes brightened, ¡°Director Tao?


    Surgery?¡±


    Tao Zi nodded, ¡°Hmm, there¡¯s an ascending aortic aneurysm surgery scheduled.


    Why don¡¯t you do it?¡±


    Chen Cang eagerly replied, ¡°Is that okay?¡±


    Tao Zi smiled, ¡°What¡¯s there to worry about!


    Let¡¯s go¡­¡±


    Chen Cang thanked her with embarrassment, ¡°Then thank you, Director Tao!¡±


    The two headed to the elevator together.


    Behind them, Qian Lin and a classmate exchanged glances in confusion.


    Teacher, what happened to letting us have a try, letting us do the surgery¡­


    how come you¡¯ve forgotten all your principles at the sight of Chen Cang?


    Qian Lin glanced at his classmate, ¡°Are we still going or what?¡±


    The classmate scoffed, ¡°Go for what?


    To get yelled at?¡±


    Qian Lin frowned, ¡°Not necessarily.


    Maybe it¡¯s because¡­


    the director got agitated¡­¡±


    The classmate let out a cold chuckle, ¡°And who do you think the director will take it out on if agitated?¡±


    Qian Lin was taken aback, right¡­


    Either way, it¡¯s a scolding!


    At that moment, Tao Zi looked back at the two of them and called out, ¡°What are you doing?


    Hurry up and come in!¡±


    They looked at each other, sighed, and stepped inside.


    In the same boat, why sink your comrades?


    Chen Cang greeted them warmly, and Qian Lin and his classmate responded with forced smiles.


    Tao Zi chuckled, ¡°I was thinking of taking these two for a spin in surgery today, by the way, Chen, what brought you up here all of a sudden?¡±


    Chen Cang replied, ¡°Had a little epiphany, just wanted to test it out.¡±


    Hearing this, Tao Zi said enviously, ¡°Oh?


    An epiphany, that¡¯s rare.


    Treasure it!¡±

    Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Business Mutual Praise!


    ¡°`


    As they talked, the group arrived inside the operating room.


    After the preparations, the surgery was about to begin.


    Chen Cang glanced at Qian Lin and Student A and suddenly felt a bit of pity; after all, they were classmatesa€¡±it wouldn¡¯t be right to be too harsh¡­


    Since they were here, let the kids have a go!


    With that thought, Chen Cang said to Qian Lin, ¡°How about¡­


    you do the sternotomy?¡±


    Qian Lin¡¯s face immediately brightened with joy, ¡°Can I?¡±


    Tao Zi heard Chen Cang¡¯s words, couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, and said to Qian Lin, ¡°Yes!


    Give it a go!


    With Dr.


    Chen and me overseeing, there¡¯s nothing to worry about, feel free to make mistakes!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    ¡°Thank you, teacher; thank you¡­


    Chen¡­


    erm, thank you!¡±


    But¡­


    Five minutes later.


    ¡°Look at this incision.


    It¡¯s too unprofessional.


    What if you damage the intercostal nerve?¡±


    ¡°Aim properly!¡±


    ¡°Use some force!¡±


    ¡°Wrong, wrong!


    I¡¯m talking to you¡­¡±


    ¡°Ai¡­


    Qian, is your head full of fat?


    Can¡¯t you handle such a simple task?¡±


    ¡°Downwards!


    Oh dear¡­


    why are you so clumsy!¡±


    ¡­


    Student A looked at Qian Lin¡¯s tearful expression with compassion and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    Brother, you¡¯ve had it tough!


    However, ten minutes later, Qian Lin¡¯s face showed joy.


    After all, his nearly 300-pound frame and the thick layer of fat beneath his skin provided a perfect shield against ineffective mockery and attacks, but he was making rapid progress with the educational points.


    Gradually getting the hang of it, the surgery became increasingly smooth.


    This left Student A quite speechless!


    After all, this was a double whammy of physical magic attacks from Director Tao and Chen Cheap Cheap, and he could withstand it all?


    As Qian Lin became more skilled, the subsequent sternotomy was practically problem-free.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but praise him, ¡°Not bad!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tao Zi immediately laughed, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s all thanks to my usual good teaching!¡±


    Qian Lin: ¡­


    Student A: ¡­


    The situation fell into an awkward silence for a moment.


    Chen Cang then took over the surgery.


    Although he hadn¡¯t specialized in aortic aneurysm resection, surgery was still a matter of one technique informing others.


    It was nothing more than removing the aneurysm from the ascending aorta.


    The core was in the repair of the ascending aorta itself.


    Chen Cang¡¯s resection, with the aid of his passive eye skill, revealed clear boundaries of the aneurysm.


    During the operation, he managed to preserve the normal tissue of the ascending aorta, which would improve recovery outcomes!


    However¡­


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    Chen Cang gradually realized that these aneurysmal tissues could indeed be assessed through certain indications!


    What does that mean?


    Through visual inspection, Chen Cang could see the boundaries himself.


    But others couldn¡¯t!


    Chen Cang could delineate a more precise boundary based on subtle changes in the surrounding tissues, allowing others to learn and emulate.


    However, it was clear this wasn¡¯t an overnight job.


    Take it slow!


    The aneurysmal tissue wasn¡¯t large, and after Chen Cang removed it, he assessed its length and felt it for a while.


    He felt it was possible to remove the damaged tissue and then suture it directly without the need for a patch or an artificial vascular graft replacement.


    At that point, Chen Cang began suturing.


    This time, his suturing skills had greatly improved compared to the beginninga€¡±Chen Cang himself could clearly feel his progress.


    The same suturing technique!


    The same angle and speed of needle entry!


    But now, he was considering more and more factors.


    ¡°`


    For example, the tension of the blood vessels, the stretching of the blood vessels, for instance¡­


    And so on¡­


    This made Chen Cang pay even more attention to detail during repairs, which, although seemingly different from usual, a true master could discern at a glance.


    Just like right now, as Tao Zi watched Chen Cang suture, his brows immediately furrowed!


    He always felt something was not quite right, but he just couldn¡¯t pinpoint it.


    Chen Cang lacked the superfluous movements that Guo Yunfei had; he had simplified them as much as possible¡­


    Then he combined them with his own habits to create his unique suturing rhythm and method.


    This left Tao Zi more and more astonished as he watched!


    Until at last, Tao Zi had an epiphany!


    ¡°Little Chen¡­


    you¡­¡±


    Chen Cang smiled: ¡°Mm!¡±


    Tao Zi took a deep breath, ¡°Wow!


    The new waves push the old ones in the Yangtze River, one generation outdoes the last!¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, ¡°I was influenced by watching Guo Yunfei suture and had some thoughts about it.


    After careful consideration, I learned a lot, so I stepped up today.¡±


    Tao Zi was surprised and curious, ¡°You met Guo Yunfei?


    That guy¡­


    is also a freak!¡±


    Chen Cang recounted what had happened the day before, and Tao Zi was immediately shocked, ¡°You mastered it after just watching once?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Mainly, I already had many insights; Guo Yunfei just gave me an opportunity.¡±


    Tao Zi looked at Chen Cang, ¡°You¡­


    are even more of a freak than that guy!¡±


    ¡­


    Qian Lin and his classmate stared blankly at the pair, the old and the young, somewhat dumbfounded.


    Is this really impressive?


    The serious mutual flattery is incomprehensible to us, yet there¡¯s an unmistakeable sense of something profound.


    No wonder their surgeries are so good!


    If you¡¯re praised for your surgery, you could be successful at anything with such thick skin!


    The two exchanged glances and sighed.


    Chen Cang¡¯s repairs seemed no different from before on the surface, yet¡­


    they were emphatically praised by Director Tao as if they represented a true breakthrough?


    Do you think you¡¯re in a cultivation fantasy?


    Can realms actually break through?


    This is just too far-fetched¡­


    Sigh¡­


    The surgery quickly came to an end.


    Tao Zi was filled with emotion and had a very animated conversation with Chen Cang as they wrapped up.


    Then Tao Zi simply said, ¡°Little Chen, let those two finish up.¡±


    Qian Lin immediately chimed in, ¡°I¡¯ll do it, I¡¯ll do it!¡±


    His classmate was taken aback, thinking that this fat pig had developed an addiction to abuse today?


    Well, without any surprise, Qian Lin got a proper telling-off.


    But he seemed very happy, and the finishing work progressed even more smoothly.


    The surgery ended.


    There was another operation in a little while, so after washing up, everyone took a short break.


    Chen Cang and Tao Zi washed their hands together.


    Meanwhile, Qian Lin was with his classmate.


    His classmate stared at Qian Lin with a puzzled look, ¡°Fatty, what¡¯s with you today?


    Got a masochistic streak?¡±


    Qian Lin chuckled, ¡°Old Wang, you need to learn self-filtering.


    Pretend Director Tao and Chen Cheap-cheap are flies, just ignore their buzzing!¡±


    ¡°You have to filter out what¡¯s useful.


    Seriously, what they say is quite helpful.


    This way, you learn super fast because¡­


    any shortcomings you have get pointed out.


    Where else are you going to get such a good opportunity?¡±


    Upon hearing this, his classmate suddenly saw the light, ¡°Brother Qian is wise!¡±


    Qian Lin was smug until he turned around and noticed a pair of eyes staring at him.


    ¡°Ahem¡­


    Director?


    What a coincidence!¡±


    Tao Zi felt like the blood vessels in his temples were about to burst, and for some reason, he just had the urge to hit someone¡­

 Chapter 580 - Chapter 580 Chapter 580 What Im worried about isnt Little Chen, its them

    ?Chapter 580: Chapter 580: What I¡¯m worried about isn¡¯t Little Chen, it¡¯s them¡­


    Chapter 580: Chapter 580: What I¡¯m worried about isn¡¯t Little Chen, it¡¯s them¡­


    The day of the competition was approaching day by day!


    Several bigwigs within the province decided to meet and discuss the specifics of the competition.


    Qin Yueming, as the president of Dongyang Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, invited chiefs like Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng from various hospitals to meet.


    The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Hospital of Dongyang Province was actually nationally renowned, consistently ranking within the top 20.


    Hmm!


    The top 20¡­


    that was already quite impressive.


    In last year¡¯s ranking, Fuwai Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which was Jing Ran¡¯s school, was the best in cardiac surgery, followed by Anzhen Hospital, Guangdong People¡¯s Hospital, Fudan University Zhongshan Hospital, and so on¡­


    And for the Cardiovascular Department of Dongyang Province to rank within the top 20 in the country was indeed impressive.


    And as the head of cardiac surgery, Qin Yueming¡¯s social status and so on naturally went without saying.


    Qin Yueming internally was not satisfied that Dongyang Province didn¡¯t have any hospitals in last year¡¯s national top ten.


    The meeting lasted more than an hour, and they had settled all the competition details that needed to be discussed.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    The competition would be conducted by drawing lots for groups!


    The number of participants registered within the province was 120, divided into three groups, with 40 people each.


    After the draw, pairs would compete, and the winners would advance!


    After reaching the third round, there would be one bye, until each group¡¯s finals, producing the overall group champion.


    Each group¡¯s champion could represent Dongyang Province in the competition.


    So, luck was also a big factor.


    After all, only one candidate could emerge from each group.


    If all the strong competitors were gathered together, it wouldn¡¯t be good.


    There were often some ¡°EU kings¡± who would get two byes in a row and enter the final, just to face a competition they were good at, win the first place, and then represent Dongyang Province in the national competition, only to be eliminated in the first round!


    Clearly, this would sometimes waste quotas¡­


    This time¡¯s meeting was obviously aiming to arrange for the three more capable contenders to be in separate groups, to avoid being eliminated in the group matches.


    Of course, Qin Yueming was not worried about this issue, since in his view, his student, Guo Yunfei, never needed to consider the matter of opponents.


    If it hadn¡¯t been for encountering the second-place Sikong in the national group competition prematurely last year, he wouldn¡¯t have missed the top ten.


    Dr.


    Sikong, a graduate of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, went to Anzhen Hospital and became the deputy director of cardiac surgery right away.


    Last year, in his first year of competing, he achieved an outstanding second-place finish directly!


    And the first place went to the current head of the third department of cardiac surgery at Fuwai Hospital, who was already 35 years old.


    Therefore, this year, Sikong has become a hot contender for the championship, with high expectations.


    Don¡¯t underestimate this national cardiac surgery skills competition; it carries significant weight in the field of cardiac surgery.


    Winning the championship basically secures your career trajectory.


    Not to mention the champion, the top ten would generally be vied for by major hospitals across the country.


    Upon arrival, these individuals would receive real power and treatment, enjoying bright prospects and boundless futures.


    This also serves as a stage for young people to compete!


    Looking at everyone, Qin Yueming smiled and said, ¡°Does anyone have any good nominations for this year¡¯s competition?¡±


    Since competitors must be under 35 years old, new faces often emerge.


    Various hospitals, in order to enhance their own domain¡¯s reputation, frequently recruit top talents.


    After all, consider this: if someone from your hospital wins the championship, the hospital shares in that honor.


    For example, the announcement for Guo Yunfei winning the championship would be like this:


    ¡°Congratulations to Guo Yunfei from the Cardiovascular Hospital of Dongyang Province for winning the championship!¡±


    All present were department heads of cardiac surgery from various hospitals within the province.


    Xia Gaofeng suddenly said, ¡°Our Meng Xi, Director Meng, isn¡¯t bad; I think she has a competitive edge.


    Should we consider placing her in a separate group?¡±


    Upon hearing this, those around nodded in agreement.


    Everyone had heard of Meng Xi.


    In fact, she could have participated last year, but Meng Xi was preoccupied with National Natural Science Foundation matters and did not compete.


    No one had a single issue with her.


    Qin Yueming also nodded, ¡°Yeah, Meng Xi isn¡¯t bad.


    I¡¯ve met him a few times.


    The key is that he¡¯s young.


    I think if he can go to the national competition, it would be a good thing.¡±


    ¡°Does anyone have any other candidates?¡±


    Although these directors all had their personal biases and wanted the outstanding members of their own departments to enter the national competition,


    they knew, compared to personal biases, it would be immensely embarrassing if someone got knocked out in the first round after making it to the national competition.


    So everyone was rather cautious.


    At this moment, Tao Zi suddenly said, ¡°There¡¯s a promising young man in our hospital named Chen Cang.


    He isn¡¯t from cardiovascular surgery; he¡¯s from the emergency department.


    His cardiovascular major vessel surgeries are very good.


    I think he deserves a chance!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng nodded in agreement, ¡°Yeah, Chen is one of the most talented doctors I¡¯ve come across.


    He¡¯s only 27 years old and has a lot of room for growth.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yueming immediately asked with curiosity, ¡°Chen Cang?


    Is there a profile?¡±


    Indeed, everyone present was somewhat unfamiliar and curious about the name Chen Cang.


    After all, Dongyang Province was only so large, and there were only so many people in cardiovascular surgery.


    If anyone had a bit of energy, everyone would know everything there is to know about them.


    If not fully understanding, they at least knew of the person.


    But Chen Cang was truly someone nobody had heard of.


    Tao Zi shook his head, ¡°As for a profile, I think a reference is enough.


    Chen graduated from Dongyang Medical University and has been in the emergency department at the Second Provincial Hospital ever since.


    But his ability¡­


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    is quite something!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    It was not out of disrespect, but they felt that Tao Zi was being overly mysterious.


    How capable could a young person be?


    27 years olda€|


    Over the years of competition, has there ever been anyone under 30 who took the top three spots?


    Absolutely not.


    Because they simply didn¡¯t have enough clinical experience.


    At this time, the director from the People¡¯s Hospital commented with a smile, ¡°I think Ning Haosen from our department still has a chance.


    He faced Guo Yunfei in the preliminary round last year and lost in the finals.


    He¡¯s 35 this year, his last chance, so why not give it to him?


    He¡¯s made significant progress this year.¡±


    The director of cardiovascular surgery at East University¡¯s Second Hospital also began to speak, ¡°Wea€|¡±


    ¡­


    The final candidates still needed to be voted on.


    Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng sighed.


    There was nothing to be done about that.


    A proposal is a proposal, but¡­


    in the end, it still had to be decided by everyone.


    In the end, the determined candidates were Guo Yunfei, Meng Xi, and Ning Haosen each leading one group.


    The others would still draw lots.


    Coming out of the office, Xia Gaofeng saw that Tao Zi seemed down and couldn¡¯t help but console him, ¡°Old Tao, it¡¯s alright, don¡¯t worry.


    The competition is fair after all.


    If Chen has the skills, he doesn¡¯t need a recommendation; he can still make it to the national competition!


    Besides, Chen is still young.


    There are plenty of opportunities.


    It¡¯s his first year in the competition, and there are many talented people.


    We shouldn¡¯t take this risk!


    And, Chen might even cause a stir in the provincial competition this year, and that would give him a chance next year, right?


    After all, nobody knows much about him!¡±


    Tao Zi sighed, ¡°Ah¡­


    that¡¯s not what I meant!


    I¡¯m just a bit worried¡­¡±


    Xia Gaofeng was taken aback, ¡°Worried?


    You meana€|¡±


    Tao Zi explained, ¡°Ah¡­


    I¡¯m not worried about Chen, I¡¯m worried that Chen might end up in the same group as Meng Xi and Guo Yunfei and directly knock them both out!¡±


    ¡°After all¡­


    it wouldn¡¯t be easy for them either!¡±


    With that, he left Xia Gaofeng speechless¡­


    Indeed, Tao Zi had immense respect for Chen Cang¡¯s vascular repairs¡­

 Chapter 581 - Chapter 581 Chapter 581 A Deadly Problem!

    ?Chapter 581: Chapter 581: A Deadly Problem!


    Chapter 581: Chapter 581: A Deadly Problem!


    Xia Gaofeng was left a bit dizzy by what Tao Zi said¡­


    Watching as Tao Zi walked back to where he had come from, Xia Gaofeng immediately followed him.


    ¡°Old Tao, what do you mean?¡±


    Tao Zi sighed.


    What did he mean?


    He simply hoped that more people from Dongyang Province would participate in the national competition¡­


    But Chen Cang was an unstable factor indeed.


    If it had been a month earlier, Tao Zi might have thought Chen Cang was decent enough to compete for some experience.


    But now¡­


    he felt that Chen Cang was like a roving BOSS!


    In the past few days, he had been performing surgeries with Chen Cang every single day, completing seven or eight ascending aortic surgeries, and he felt that Chen Cang was improving with each one¡­


    Moreover, the more closely he observed, the more he realized that Chen Cang¡¯s surgeries were incredibly skilled.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.?¦Ï


    It gave Tao Zi an illusion that this guy was like the so-called ¡°Son of the Dimension¡± from some novel¡­


    If Chen Cang happened to meet Guo Yunfei during the provincial competition and directly eliminated him, Director Qin Yueming would probably get drunk and cry again.


    Ah¡­


    So troublesome¡­


    And there¡¯s Meng Xi, if Chen accidentally eliminated his teacher Meng, it would be quite embarrassing.


    After all, how awkward would it be for a student to eliminate his own teacher?


    It would leave poor Meng Xi with no dignity¡­


    After thinking it over, he still felt it was best to put Chen Cang in Ning Haosen¡¯s group.


    If he gets eliminated, so be it¡­


    Ah!


    I¡¯m exhausted.


    With these thoughts, Tao Zi took a deep breath, feeling utterly helpless.


    You say I¡¯m considering your best interests, but you don¡¯t accept it.


    Just wait until you regret it later on¡­


    Seeing that Tao Zi just shook his head without speaking, Xia Gaofeng quickly followed, ¡°Old Tao, speak up!¡±


    Tao Zi countered, ¡°Do you know what level Chen is at now?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng was taken aback, nodded, and said, ¡°I saw him once a week ago, he¡¯s really good, very impressive.¡±


    Tao Zi was startled.


    A week ago?


    Hmph¡­


    The surgery I saw the day before yesterday was a big leap from what I saw yesterday.


    Your week ago, you might want to take a closer look again!


    Tao Zi said meaningfully, ¡°I think, whoever is in the same group as Chen is unlucky.


    Chen could crush them to the point of doubting their existence¡­¡±


    Xia Gaofeng was stunned, then laughed out loud, ¡°That¡¯s an exaggeration!¡±


    Seeing Xia Gaofeng dismiss it, Tao Zi smiled and said, ¡°Hahaha, just kidding, I¡¯m heading back first!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng nodded and watched Old Tao¡¯s retreating figure, muttering, ¡°This Old Tao¡­


    so secretive¡­


    weird!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    As the competition day drew near, Chen Cang saw that he was still two cases short for the ascending aorta surgeries.


    How could he make them up?


    After much thought, he decided he should visit Teacher Meng more often.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã?


    At the same time, he also needed to guide (tiaojiao) Teacher Meng more, striving to complete the task and break into the top three with Teacher Meng!


    However, it must be said that Teacher Meng¡¯s ability to learn is there, too.


    Her presence made Chen Cang reconsider whether being simple-minded and ignorant was really related.


    Teacher Meng had also become more sensible.


    When Chen Cang was instructing her, she no longer resisted because she discovered¡­


    rather than struggling pointlessly, it was better to comfortably enjoy the fruits of progress!


    Today¡¯s wind was particularly noisy.


    Chen Cang rode his beautiful bicycle and arrived at Dongda First Hospital early.


    Seeing that the competition was the day after tomorrow, he still hadn¡¯t performed a perfect surgery.


    At first, Chen Cang always felt that being at a master¡¯s level was enough, but¡­


    after seeing that kid Guo Yunfei, Chen Cang wavered!


    Upon closer thought, they were all young talents, each with their own specialties¡­


    One Guo Yunfei was enough to leave him fumbling in the dark.


    If he was so unlucky to stumble upon what the opponent was best at, a careless mistake could cost Meng Xi dearly.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang felt a tremendous pressure and hastily ran into the cardiothoracic surgery department, only to find San Bo and Bo Jianming there, but Teacher Meng was not.


    Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s arrival, Bo Jianming greeted him, ¡°Chen, I saw the participant list for the national cardiothoracic surgery skills competition came out.


    Your name¡¯s on it!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and smiled, ¡°Yeah, my work unit wants me to go out and see the world, to broaden my horizons.¡±


    Bo Jianming nodded, ¡°Right, without comparison, there¡¯s no progress.


    In fact, every time you compete against an opponent, you¡¯ll find your own shortcomings, which is good for self-improvement.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    Indeed, after every victorious competition, loot would drop.


    This indeed benefited him greatly!


    But¡­


    if he lost, that would be another story.


    Phooey, phooey, phooey!


    How could I, Chen Ouhuang, possibly lose?


    ¡°By the way, Doctor Ge Huai participated last year, you could ask him for some advice,¡± Bo Jianming suggested.


    At last year¡¯s competition, Meng Xi didn¡¯t have time, so Ge Huai participated.


    Doctor Ge was not useless; at the very least, he advanced through three rounds in the provincial competition before being knocked out by Guo Yunfei in the fourth.


    Upon hearing that Chen Cang was going to compete, San Bo was also keen to offer advice.


    Ge Huai turned around and shared his experiences earnestly.


    He was still very enthusiastic.


    Even though Chen Cang was a major obstacle between him and Goddess Meng, he was candid, ¡°Chen, the competition is divided into three groups.


    The first and second rounds aren¡¯t hard, because a lot of participants are from city or county hospitals with varying levels of skill.


    Facing them, you should have no problem progressing with your skill level.


    But those who make it to the third round are pretty formidable, all from top provincial hospitals.


    ¡°Each of them has their own unique skills, abundant clinical experience, and a good mindset, so it¡¯s much harder.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Right, Teacher Ge, does the surgery skills competition use mannequins?


    Or live patients¡­¡±


    Ge Huai immediately laughed, ¡°Of course, they¡¯re models, training models made especially by medical companies.


    They imitate major blood vessels vividly.


    However, the final round of the national competition involves rescue of real patients.


    It¡¯s the cumulative score that counts.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Real patient rescue?


    What do you mean?¡±


    Ge Huai explained, ¡°At that time, you¡¯ll be placed in the capital¡¯s emergency center, dispatched in ambulances to rescue patients, providing emergency aid.


    Of course, there will be experts accompanying, but¡­


    from what I¡¯ve heard, basically, if you make one wrong move, you¡¯ll be eliminated.


    For example, if you misdiagnose a patient needing emergency aid, you will be eliminated on the spot, since patient safety is the priority!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    Just then, Meng Xi walked in.


    Seeing Chen Cang, her eyes lit up, ¡°Let¡¯s go, come with me for a surgery.¡±


    After speaking, she headed straight for the operating room.


    On the way, Meng Xi suddenly slowed down and turned to look at Chen Cang, asking, ¡°Chen, let me ask you something.


    If you encountered me in the competition, what would you choose to do?¡±


    Chen Cang was about to speak, ¡°I would¡­¡±


    But before he could finish, he abruptly stopped himself!


    His heart skipped a beat¡­


    this was definitely a loaded question!?

 Chapter 582 - Chapter 582 Chapter 582 Role Swap

    ?Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Role Swap?


    Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Role Swap?


    Meng Xi stared at Chen Cang with wide eyes: ¡°What would you do?¡±


    Chen Cang pondered for a long time: ¡°I¡¯ll have to think about it¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Meng Xi suddenly let out a giggle: ¡°Is it that hard to decide?¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, what do you think?


    Suddenly, Meng Xi said with a smile, ¡°I have a suggestion, how about you hear me out!¡±


    Chen Cang listened intently, his ears perked up, staring at Teacher Meng.


    Meng Xi smiled casually and continued: ¡°If we happen to draw the same group and start as opponents in a PK, then I will choose to give up.¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, I will voluntarily give up and let you advance to the national competition!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and felt somewhat moved: ¡°Teacher Meng¡­


    you are so kind!


    I won¡¯t let you down.¡±


    Meng Xi squinted her eyes, thinking to herself: Considering I might not be able to compete fairly against you anyway, how embarrassing it would be to lose, especially in front of everyone!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.?¦Ï


    Rather than losing to you, I might as well give up.


    Then, everyone in the province will think I, Meng Xi, am a magnanimous teacher who selflessly stepped aside for my student to advance to the national competition.


    And¡­


    If my students are this impressive, how amazing must I be?


    Yep!


    That¡¯s exactly what I¡¯ll do.


    However, Meng Xi took a deep breath and looked at Chen Cang affectionately: ¡°But¡­


    As a teacher, I have a wish that I hope you can fulfill for me.¡±


    Chen Cang slapped his chest!


    But not Teacher Meng¡¯s chest, his own chest!


    He promised confidently: ¡°Tell me, Teacher Meng.¡±


    Meng Xi squinted her eyes, clenched her fist tightly, her gaze filled with an indescribable sense of humiliation and unwillingness, and said to Chen Cang: ¡°You need to thoroughly trounce that old thief Sikong for me!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback: ¡°Who is Sikong?¡±


    Meng Xi waved her hand dismissively: ¡°Oh¡­


    Just a trivial matter, a small fry.¡±


    ¡°He was someone I defeated back when I was at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.


    I just found out he signed up this year too.


    Remember, when you encounter him, you must trounce him properly, and when you defeat him, tell him with disdain!¡±


    ¡°My teacher¡­


    is Meng Xi!¡±


    Chen Cang was puzzled¡­


    Something seemed off, strangely off¡­


    Sikong?


    This name seemed even rarer than Jing Ran¡­


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Teacher Meng, did he¡­


    bully you?¡±


    Meng Xi immediately darkened her expression: ¡°Hmph!


    Of course not.


    Just mentioning him is beneath my dignity.


    A mere loser, not worth considering.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After giving some instructions to Meng Xi, Xia Gaofeng was ready to get off work.


    Suddenly, as he passed by the office, he heard some people discussing Chen Cang.


    Xia Gaofeng was momentarily startled: ¡°Is Little Chen here?¡±


    Bo Jianming nodded: ¡°Yeah, he just went to operate with Director Meng.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng nodded and, driven by curiosity, headed towards the operating room.


    As he passed by the operating room, he saw through the glass that Chen Cang and Meng Xi were indeed performing surgery.


    So, he walked straight in.


    While Chen Cang was operating, Meng Xi stood by his side, very obedient to his silent communication.


    Chen Cang was growing more and more satisfied with this teacher.


    Obedient, intelligent, sensible, and keyly aware, he could understand everything with just a look, without needing to speak a word.


    Could this be related to the rapport?


    This was the last surgery, and after completing it, he would reach perfection!


    With the accumulation of nine surgeries, Chen Cang was on the brink of a breakthrough at any moment.


    To Chen Cang, these ten surgeries weren¡¯t just tasks but opportunities for integration and continuous improvement.


    During the following ascending aorta surgery repair, Chen Cang operated with exhilarating fluency.


    Even!


    For the first time, Chen Cang felt a sense of control!


    Indeed!


    It was the feeling that:


    My surgical methods, I command


    Every move, I commit completely


    The needle holders and sutures, hastening with me


    Battling in the pathways of blood


    With sweat, I inscribe records!


    When the last suture was tied, Chen Cang took a deep breath.


    Suddenly, he heard the system¡¯s notification sound.


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, your ascending aorta repair technique has advanced to perfect level!]


    Chen Cang smiled in satisfaction.


    And all of this was seen by Xia Gaofeng who was standing behind him!


    After watching, Xia Gaofeng¡¯s back was drenched in cold sweat!


    This¡­


    this kid¡­


    How many days has it been?


    How did he reach this extent!


    Just now, his confidence in the surgery had even¡­


    completely surpassed his own.


    That¡¯s right!


    An excellent surgeon must fully understand the patient and grasp the surgery to stay calm in any situation.


    But at this moment, Xia Gaofeng saw a realm in Chen Cang¡¯s operation!


    It was a sense of complete mastery over the surgery.


    Chen Cang¡­


    is he really this powerful?


    He remembered Tao Zi¡¯s expression after the meeting ended today.


    At that time, it felt quite strange¡­


    Now looking at it!


    It¡¯s not strange at all!


    Chen Cang was underestimated!


    Underestimated by everyone.


    He was destined to be the dark horse of this competition.


    Thinking of this, Xia Gaofeng suddenly felt extremely regretful¡­


    If he had known, he really should have fought for it, and now look.


    The emergence of Chen Cang could be said to have disrupted the entire layout of Dongyang Province.


    Just at this moment, Chen Cang said to Meng Xi, ¡°What are you looking at?


    Why are you spacing out?


    Haven¡¯t you hurried to finish up?¡±


    Hearing this, Meng Xi quickly nodded, ¡°Oh¡­


    oh¡­


    sorry!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed with some disappointment.


    Meanwhile, Xia Gaofeng was stunned for a moment, thinking¡­


    This is absurd, isn¡¯t it?


    How is little Chen talking to Teacher Meng?


    At this time, Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°Ah, I¡¯ve told you several times about this place, yet you¡¯ve still overlooked it.


    This small detail could affect the patient¡¯s recovery.


    Did a bear eat your brain?¡±


    ¡°Wrong!


    How can you be so stupid!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°I¡¯m so disappointed in you!¡±


    ¡°Sigh¡­¡±


    A sigh from Chen Cang made Meng Xi quickly apologize, ¡°I¡­


    I didn¡¯t mean to¡­


    My bad!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    Seeing this, Xia Gaofeng behind him was dumbfounded!


    This¡­


    between little Chen and Director Meng¡­


    who exactly is the teacher and who is the student?


    At that moment, Chen Cang deeply sighed, ¡°With your level, how can I be relieved about you competing outside?¡±


    ¡°How did I get a teacher like you who is not competitive?¡±


    ¡°Alright, I need to go back now.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Reflect on yourself properly.


    After you go home tonight, write a summary of your experience in today¡¯s ascending aorta repair and I will check it tomorrow.¡±


    Meng Xi, not competitive at all, acknowledged weakly, ¡°I won¡¯t have time tomorrow¡­¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Sleep less!¡±


    Meng Xi said in a pitiful voice.


    Being a teacher to this extent¡­


    there was nobody else like her¡­


    However, the operating room nurses and anesthesiologists were already used to it!


    But Xia Gaofeng widened his eyes, pinched his own thigh hard, somewhat disbelievingly looking at all this, um¡­


    Doubting life!


    What exactly is going on with these two?


    At that time, after Meng Xi and Chen Cang finished the operation, they turned around and suddenly saw Xia Gaofeng, and immediately exchanged a glance.


    Meng Xi: ¡°Director Xia¡­


    You¡­¡±


    Xia Gaofeng hurriedly said, ¡°Oh!


    I¡¯ve just arrived!


    Is the surgery over?¡±


    Hearing this, Meng Xi and Chen Cang immediately breathed a sigh of relief¡­


    Meng Xi nodded, ¡°Yes, we¡¯ve just finished the surgery.


    By the way, little Chen, you understood everything just now, right?


    Go back and write a reflection on your insights¡­¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Okay, Teacher Meng, I¡¯ll be leaving now¡­¡±


    Xia Gaofeng: ¡­


    The anesthesiologist held back from laughing.


    The nurse held back until it hurt¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch of ¡°Moonlight Sanctuary,¡± the Helmsman of ¡°Lang de Seduction,¡± and the Helmsman of ¡°Just This Once¡± for the 10,000 rewards, thank you everyone!


    Today is the first day of the lunar month; wishing everyone a happy New Year.


    There will be just two chapters today.


    A side story will follow later.

 Chapter 583 - Chapter 583 Chapter 583 Death Squad!

    ?Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Death Squad!


    Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Death Squad!


    The competition venue was a place where Chen Cang was not at all flustered!


    Aside from his legs shaking a bit, his speech not being very clear, and his identity badge being somewhat unstable in his hand, everything else was basically normal!


    Right!


    He wasn¡¯t nervous, he was¡­


    excited!


    The older doctor next to him couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw Chen Cang, ¡°First time participating?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, smiling, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m a bit excited.¡±


    Indeed, Chen Cang now looked at the group of ¡°little bosses¡± around him as a bunch of experience points.


    PK has drops!


    Divine weapons are picked up until your hands are full, and equipment can be recycled¡­


    The older doctor glanced at Chen Cang¡¯s identity badge and suddenly froze, ¡°Eh?


    You are¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.??


    Chen Cang?


    I¡¯ve heard of you¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, Am I that famous already?


    I wanted to play dumb and surprise them.


    Now that you¡¯re trying to cozy up to me, I won¡¯t go easy, at most I¡¯ll handicap myself for 10 seconds.


    ¡°Senior brother, you are¡­?¡± Chen Cang curiously asked?


    The other party smiled, ¡°I¡¯m Cui Yuanwu from East University¡¯s Second Hospital.


    I¡¯m classmates with Zhang Wenfu.


    We talked about you over drinks a while back, said you¡¯re very talented.¡±


    Chen Cang hurriedly responded with a smile, ¡°Dr.


    Cui, nice to meet you.


    Please take care of me, please take care of me!¡±


    Chen Cang thought to himself, Zhang Wenfu had better not hype me up.


    What if the other person thinks I¡¯m great and gets really serious?


    What then?


    Where would I be if I outdid myself?


    I¡¯d be done for, right?


    After all, aside from ascending aortic surgery which he perfected, everything else was at a master¡¯s level.


    Never mind the others, Guo Yunfei alone probably had several near-perfect level skills, at least that¡¯s what Chen Cang felt!


    And this Cui Yuanwu¡­


    after all, was a leading figure among the new generation at East University¡¯s First Hospital, not to be underestimated!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang felt he should puff himself up first!


    So, he threw out an appraisal.


    [Ding!


    Cui Yuanwu, a cardiac surgeon skilled in repairing the unnamed artery, with a forthright personality who loves making friendsa€¡±an essential asset for paying bills when going out!


    Favorability: 5.]


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang suddenly felt a strategy forming in his mind!


    His eyes widened, reveling in an epiphany!


    ¡°Oh!


    Oh!


    Oh!


    Dr.


    Cui, truly, to hear of your fame is not as good as meeting you in person.


    I¡¯ve long admired your renowned skills, and today, seeing is indeed believing!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu was momentarily taken aback by Chen Cang¡¯s effusive flattery!


    ¡°You¡­


    you know about me?¡±


    Chen Cang slapped his thigh, ¡°Of course, I know!


    Dr.


    Cui¡¯s technique in repairing unnamed arterial damage is unmatched in the province.


    I¡¯ve heard Director Tao praise you more than once, and also, I¡¯ve heard that Dr.


    Cui is warm and hospitable, a truly righteous guya€¡±I¡¯ve been wanting to make your acquaintance.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Cui Yuanwu immediately burst into laughter, Am I really that famous?


    Even Director Tao knows about me?


    With this thought, he felt a little excited.


    Smiling, Cui Yuanwu said, ¡°It¡¯s a deal then, ah!


    Tomorrow night, my treat!¡±


    Chen Cang clapped his hands, ¡°Great!


    It¡¯s settled!¡±


    This kind of competition was an industry skill contest with no other audience except a few industry insiders, which was miles away from being bustling.


    But for this reason, it was easier to manage.


    Soon it was time for drawing lots, with 120 people going up on stage in turn to draw!


    Chen Cang went first, Cui Yuanwu followed, and when it came time to register, they were both stunned!


    Chen Cang: Group C, Number 8!


    Competition content: Number 5 (descending aortic repair surgery!)


    Cui Yuanwu: Group C, number 8!


    Match content: number 5 (Descending aortic repair surgery!)


    Chen Cang was stunned for a moment?


    Wang Defa?


    Are you messing with me?


    Are you poisoned?


    Every time I talk to you, you end up being my opponent?


    Do you even have a conscience!


    Chen Cang felt like crying but had no tears to shed.


    After all, Dongda Second Hospital and Dongda First Provincial People¡¯s Hospital are on the same level, basically provincial-level top-three hospitals, this¡­


    having cardiac surgery as the trump card, just thinking about it hurts his liver.


    Chen Cang sighed, saying ¡°My success has not yet come, but I¡¯ve already met my demise, leaving me, Chen, to soak Xiao Qin¡¯s front with tears!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu was also stunned for a moment!


    He couldn¡¯t help but glance at Chen Cang and asked with concern, ¡°Little brother, do you want¡­


    should I go easy on you?


    So you don¡¯t lose too badly?¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry, ¡°No no no, Dr.


    Cui, go for it, I¡¯m very impressive.¡±


    Cui Yuanwu looked at Chen Cang¡¯s na?¡¥ve expression and sighed deeply, ¡°Say no more, I¡¯ll take care of it tomorrow night!¡±


    Chen Cang, hearing Cui Yuanwu stress it twice, wondered¡­


    was there some special activity planned?


    Thankfully, it wasn¡¯t a competition for the repair of innominate artery injury, otherwise, Chen Cang felt he really would be in a tough spot, given that¡¯s what they¡¯re best at.


    As soon as the list was published, everyone hurriedly checked their phones.


    Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng sat in the office, looking at the list, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.


    Now, what they worried about most was Chen Cang.


    This guy just couldn¡¯t end up in the same group as Meng Xi and Guo Yunfei; otherwise, it¡¯d be too much of a loss.


    Guo Yunfei in Group A, Meng Xi in Group B, Ning Haosen in Group C, and Chen Cang also in Group C!


    Moreover, upon a close look at the list, Tao Zi suddenly said, ¡°This¡­


    Group C is a death group!


    It¡¯s going to be tough for Ning Haosen to advance.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng nodded and gave an approving grunt, ¡°Exactly, the doctors from the provincial top-three hospitals are basically all in Group C.


    Compared to that, Groups A and B are under less pressure.


    It looks like Guo Yunfei and Meng Xi won¡¯t have much difficulty.


    Now it¡¯s all down to Group C¡¯s matches to see who will advance.¡±


    At this time, Yang Jianshu, the director of Dongda Second Hospital, suddenly said, ¡°Huh?


    Our department¡¯s Cui Yuanwu is actually in Group C.


    Not bad at all, there¡¯s still a possibility for him to advance.


    His abilities are not far off from Ning Haosen¡¯s; it basically comes down to luck now.


    Whoever encounters a surgery they¡¯re good at will advance!¡±


    After hearing this, Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng nodded their heads, ¡°Hmm, theoretically, that¡¯s true.¡±


    Cui Yuanwu was taken aback, ¡°Theoretically?¡±


    Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng looked at each other, sighed, and didn¡¯t say anything.


    Because even if they said it, he definitely wouldn¡¯t believe it!


    What Yang Jianshu said wasn¡¯t wrong; if Chen Cang wasn¡¯t there, this would be the script to follow.


    But¡­


    the one thing it shouldn¡¯t have had was a dark horse named Chen Cang!


    Thinking this, the two shook their heads without speaking.


    Yang Jianshu, however, was beaming with joy, ¡°Hey, not bad, the first round is actually Chen Cang?


    27 years old?


    Haha¡­


    it seems little Cui is quite lucky, maybe he could make it to the finals.¡±


    Tao Zi looked at Yang Jianshu¡¯s confident gaze, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Director Yang, relax a bit, this¡­


    the competition is always quite complicated!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng nodded in agreement, ¡°Right, right, right!


    Luck plays a big part too.¡±


    Yang Jianshu chuckled, ¡°Yes, indeed, luck is a huge factor.


    Look at little Cui, he even ran into a young doctor.


    ?¦Ï??¦Ï.§ã?


    Well, once the surgery competition is over, I¡¯ll make the arrangements!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a drink tonight.


    I¡¯ll bring some good wine from home, haha¡­¡±

 Chapter 584 - Chapter 584 Chapter 584 mmp

    ?Chapter 584: Chapter 584: mmp Chapter 584: Chapter 584: mmp The competition began swiftly, with each team facing four challenge points.


    In reality, each challenge point was an office, simply furnished like an operating room.


    Cui Yuanwu glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, don¡¯t be nervous!¡±


    At this, Chen Cang rolled his eyes.


    How could he not be nervous?


    Cui Yuanwu chuckled, ¡°You¡¯ll get used to losing¡­¡±


    Feeling somewhat guilty at this point, Cui Yuanwu added, ¡°How about this, tomorrow, I¡¯ll take you out for something nice, to make up for it¡­¡±


    Chen Cang looked up, seriously saying, ¡°I¡¯m going to give it my all, Doctor Cui.


    If you go easy on me, I¡¯m not coming out to eat.¡±


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Cui Yuanwu slapped his hand promptly, ¡°That¡¯s the spirit, be a man!


    Chen, my opinion of you keeps on improving!¡±


    After preparing, the two entered the examination room, with the same examiners, the same surgical instruments nurses, the same assisting doctors, starting in turn.


    Chen Cang was the first to enter, with Cui Yuanwu cheering him on from behind!


    ¡°Chen, go for it!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã?


    Gang Bode!¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡­.


    This Doctor Cui is quite nice, just a bit silly¡­


    It would be great to add him as a friend and go out to eat together after the competition.


    Yeah, definitely not because he likes to pick up the bill.


    After entering the operating room, Chen Cang introduced himself, and the surgery began directly, skipping the chest opening and going straight to the descending aorta repair.


    ¡°Are you ready?¡± the examiner asked.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I¡¯m ready!¡±


    The examiner turned on the switch, and immediately the blood of the descending aorta surged out, with the monitor displaying the values:


    ¡°Blood pressure 80/50!¡±


    ¡°Breathing 32 times per minute!¡±


    And blood oxygen saturationa€|


    a€|


    At this moment, the cardiopulmonary bypass was already established.


    All that was left to do was to start the surgery directly.


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were fixed below, straightaway directing the surgical nurse, ¡°Hemostat!¡±


    ¡°Lateral wall hemostat!¡±


    ¡°Another one!¡±


    These were the three hemostat-freeing techniques summarized from Chen Cang¡¯s own experience.


    This method allowed for accurate control of bleeding sites, and at the same time, it was convenient for operation.


    The whole process was very smooth!


    After achieving hemostasis, Chen Cang examined the wound, chose an appropriate position for the non-invasive lateral wall hemostat, and then removed the two hemostats!


    This way, the process of establishing a bypass was omitted.


    However, the lateral wall hemostat didn¡¯t leave much space for the descending aorta, and the surgery needed to be completed within a certain time frame; otherwise, it would surely lead to more complications.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath and said to the nurse, ¡°Needle holder!¡±


    The nurse nodded, having already passed over the needle holder with the suture attached.


    Once Chen Cang took it, he immediately began to operate.


    At this time, the examiners gathered around, observing carefully.


    The repair work was the crux of the surgery, and also the core of the competition.


    Although Chen Cang was still far behind in ascending aorta surgeries, the impact of a perfect ascending aorta surgery inspired him, and as he sutured, he gradually felt that spark of inspiration!


    Therefore, in the mastery of details, the control of the surgery, the formation of the stitches, and so on, he tried to exercise as much control over these aspects as possible!


    The two examiners from other provinces watched Chen Cang¡¯s surgery with a sense of admiration.


    Truly impressive!


    Detail: 80 points!


    Suturing density: 90 points!


    At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly put down the hemostat.


    Suction!


    Bleeding!


    All done in one go.


    A very smoothly executed surgery.


    When the examiners checked the time, they were utterly shocked¡­


    It took less than two minutes?


    Chen Cang really only used two minutes to complete over 40 stitches in the entire suturing process.


    Such speed was truly exceptional!


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?0


    Suture speed: 95 points!


    a€|


    Furthermore, when checking whether blood was leaking, the integrity was very good.


    After the statistics were tallied, the overall surgery score: 90 points!


    Outstanding performance!


    At this time, the examiner said, ¡°All right, you can go.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, bowed in thanks, and stood up to leave.


    The two examiners had no information on the candidates and exchanged glances, ¡°Very impressive!¡±


    After Chen Cang came out, Cui Yuanwu was startled, ¡°That was quick?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and sighed, ¡°Yeah, the examiner asked me to leave.¡±


    Hearing this, Cui Yuanwu consoled, ¡°It¡¯s okay, no worries.¡±


    Then, the guide led Cui Yuanwu inside as well.


    The surgery began, with Cui Yuanwu¡¯s actions and mannerisms showing his experience; it was clear he was a veteran.


    Indeed, in Cui Yuanwu¡¯s words, losing¡­


    had become habituala€|


    Descending aorta was not his strength.


    Howevera€| it was not a weakness either, generally speaking, it was quite excellent.


    After all, he was the top surgeon at Dongda Second Hospital and naturally had skill.


    The surgery proceeded steadily, with Cui Yuanwu¡¯s approach largely mirroring Chen Cang¡¯s, also choosing not to use a bypass but instead suturing directly with hemostats.


    This posed high demands on the suturing!


    Cui Yuanwu¡¯s suturing was also fast, with the whole process flowing smoothly.


    It gave the examiners a sense of a fierce competition.


    Time ticked away by the second.


    Surgery complete!


    After deliberation, the examiners gave a final score: 88 points!


    Excellent!


    Cui Yuanwu bowed in gratitude and left.


    He took a bit longer than Chen Cang, buta€| after all, surgeries aren¡¯t just about speed!


    Cui Yuanwu was quite pleased with his performance, his mindset positive, exceeding his usual level.


    After coming out, he looked at Chen Cang, ¡°How did it go, young Chen?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Wella€| it¡¯s iffy!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu laughed, ¡°Stay positive!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    A few minutes later, the first round scores were released.


    When Cui Yuanwu saw his score, 88 points, he was immediately delighted, having scored much higher than last year.


    He turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Young Chen, how many points did you get?¡±


    Chen Cang checked his phone and sighed, ¡°Aha€| 90 points!¡±


    When Cui Yuanwu heard Chen Cang¡¯s sigh, he swore he was ready to offer consolation, buta€| when the 90 points were mentioned, Cui Yuanwu was stunned.


    ¡°How many?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°90!


    What about you, Dr.


    Cui?


    95?¡±


    Cui Yuanwu¡¯s face went red!


    Inside, he felt as if a herd of alpacas were trampling around!


    It was like being back in school when kids came out from a test discussing their scores:


    Those who scored 90 points said, ¡°Ah, I didn¡¯t study last night!¡±


    Those with 95 points said, ¡°Ah, I was so nervous.¡±


    Those with 99 points said, ¡°Aha€| so panicked!¡±


    And those proud of their 60 points announced, ¡°Steady as a rock!¡±


    At that moment, Cui Yuanwu felt like the one who had scored 60 points.


    Steady as a rock!


    With this thought, Cui Yuanwu couldn¡¯t help but sigh, looking at Chen Cang, he said through gritted teeth, ¡°You little rascala€| you¡¯re treating me to dinner tomorrow night!¡±


    After saying this, he handed his phone to Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang saw the score, 88 points!


    [Ding!

    (1/5 Please Subscribe!) Yang Jianshu held his phone and said to Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng, ¡°Hey, hey, hey, they¡¯re out, they¡¯re out!¡±


    Tao Zi was startled, ¡°What¡¯s out?¡±


    Yang Jianshu pointed to the window where they had been, ¡°The first round of the competition is over, they¡¯ve come out!


    The results will be announced soon, right?


    The second round is going directly this morning?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng nodded, ¡°Yeah, two rounds in the morning, one in the afternoon, the semi-finals tomorrow morning, and the finals in the afternoon.¡±


    The entire competition schedule was very tight, and basically, everyone could see where things were headed by the end of the first day.


    To ensure the fairness of the competition results, there was an hour of rest after each round to draw lots and review surgical videos.


    If there were any objections to the results, the expert panel could report it, and then a vote would decide the final scores.


    So, the competition was indeed very fair.


    Yang Jianshu, seeing Cui Yuanwu coming out with Chen Cang, suddenly smiled, ¡°Looks like this kid did well in the competition!


    Oh, he¡¯s with¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã0


    Chen Cang, right?¡±


    Tao Zi nodded, looked toward the sound, and saw Cui Yuanwu and Chen Cang walking out arm-in-arm from backstage to their seats.


    However, Cui Yuanwu obviously looked more excited, while Chen Cang had a bitter smile on his face!


    Tao Zi was momentarily stunneda€¡±could it be¡­


    Chen Cang was eliminated?


    Thinking this, Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng suddenly felt a lurch in their hearts.


    This kid, could his luck be any worse?


    Knocked out in the first round of the competition!


    Seeing this, Yang Jianshu burst into laughter, ¡°No worries, Chen Cang is still young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and Dr.


    Cui is indeed very strong!¡±


    Yang Jianshu felt that Cui Yuanwu was already very likely to win; looking at his expression now, the last victory was secured!


    With this thought, Yang Jianshu had already taken out his phone and began drafting a speech just in case little Cui made it to the national competition.


    What should he say when the department head speaks?


    Let¡¯s Google it!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, an enthusiastic Cui Yuanwu looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen, you promised, three meals at Haidilao!


    I¡¯ll order whatever I want!¡±


    Chen Cang helplessly rolled his eyes.


    This guy had asked about seventy or eighty times, do I look that stingy?


    I am stingy!


    But¡­


    that was three months ago, okay?


    I, Chen, am now someone with a monthly income in the tens of thousands!


    As if I would go back on my word over a few meals at Haidilao!


    ¡°Really, Old Cui, how about this, tomorrow night, you bring your sister-in-law and kid, I¡¯ll bring my partner, and let¡¯s go to Haidilao, how about that?¡± Chen Cang said with a smile.


    Cui Yuanwu smiled and nodded, ¡°Great, great!


    Chen, that¡¯s very generous of you!¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­


    I really miss the feeling of someone else treating!¡±


    ¡°Ever since they demolished three buildings at home, damn it, every time we go out for a meal, it¡¯s me treating everyone, ah¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was suddenly at a loss for words!


    MMP, can I take it back?


    ¡°Chen, let me tell you, I have bad luck when it comes to property, bought three buildings and they all got demolished, the year before last over at Xiongan, my three family buildings along with the old houses, all demolished together!¡±


    ¡°I tell you, it made me doubt my life, feels like I¡¯ve become a junk collector?¡±


    ¡°Wherever I buy, that place gets demolished!¡±


    Chen Cang felt his blood pressure risinga€¡±yep, the side effect of high blood pressure was occurring, his eyes were turning red!


    He felt it was definitely not envy, and certainly not jealousy!


    It was just a normal physiological response to high blood pressure.


    Cui Yuanwu sighed, ¡°Ah¡­


    My actual dream was to become an outstanding surgeon, to dominate the field of cardiothoracic surgery, but¡­


    ?¦Ï???.?¦Ï


    later on, there was so much money at home with no one to manage it, my parents went traveling, and my little brother ran off to America.


    My wife¡¯s family also has a bunch of compensation housing from demolitions, which leaves me clueless about where to invest money every day, so I¡¯ve had no time to study!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that inflation is getting worse and worse, with the currency depreciating more than five percent every year.


    Each day the money is in my account, I panic so much I can¡¯t stand it, losing money every day, so I have to study investments¡­¡±


    ¡°A person¡¯s energy is limited.


    What I want now is to be a good little doctor, living day by day with surgeries¡­


    Ah¡­


    it¡¯s such a pity!¡±


    Chen Cang hastily grabbed his left hand, restraining his right hand which had already unsheathed its weapona€¡±a neutral pen!


    He continuously consoled his right hand, ¡°Stay calm, stay calm!


    Impulsiveness is the devil!


    Our worth is one surgery, one house, don¡¯t be envious, don¡¯t be envious¡­


    it¡¯s just a few decades¡¯ difference!¡±


    After a long struggle to pacify himself, he finally calmed down.


    At this moment, the host spoke to everyone, ¡°Okay, the results of the first round are in.


    The advancing contestants will draw lots according to the order on the big screen to decide the projects for the next round!¡±


    ¡°The surgical videos have also been released.


    If there are any objections to the competition results, please provide feedback promptly!¡±


    ¡°Please take a one-hour break.


    After an hour, we will start drawing lots for the second round of the competition.


    Members who have been eliminated, please take a seat in the audience or exit the venue in an orderly manner!¡±


    ¡­


    Cui Yuanwu cheerfully patted Chen Cang¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Xiao Chen, I¡¯ve remembered your phone number now.


    You can¡¯t escape treating me to Haidilao!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to watch the video?¡±


    Cui Yuanwu smiled and pointed towards the teacher behind him, saying, ¡°My chief is back there.


    I¡¯ll go discuss with him; I won¡¯t keep you.


    You rest well, get ready for the next round.


    I won¡¯t disturb you.¡±


    Having said that, he got up and left.


    Chen Cang sighed, watching Cui Yuanwu¡¯s retreating figure, no wonder he had such a good attitude?


    If I had three majestic buildings, damn it, my attitude would be bloody great too!


    At this time, the names had yet to be announced on the big screen, when Yang Jianshu saw Cui Yuanwu walking towards him.


    He immediately said with a smile, ¡°The competition isn¡¯t over yet, why are you coming over here?¡±


    Cui Yuanwu was stunned, ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m finished!¡±


    Yang Jianshu smiled, ¡°How did it go?


    What score?¡±


    Cui Yuanwu grinned, ¡°88 points!


    Even higher than last year!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Jianshu couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter, ¡°Not bad, not bad, you organize it tomorrow!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu laughed heartily, ¡°No need, no need, I¡¯ll arrange it tonight.¡±


    After hearing this, Yang Jianshu waved his hand, ¡°That won¡¯t do!


    When you go back tonight, you should watch more videos.


    After that, analyze your opponents¡¯ strengths and weaknesses more, and strive to take the final match tomorrow, knock out Ning Haosen!¡±


    Yang Jianshu and Cui Yuanwu, although mentor and prot??g?? and also chief and doctor, got along very well.


    Or it might be more accurate to say Cui Yuanwu got along well with everyone in the department!


    After all, having an iron simpleton who always treats everyone to meals can make anyone happy.


    You never have to worry about paying the bill, or about fighting over it!


    Once, a new guy in the department treated everyone to a meal, and when it came time to pay the bill, he got drunk and fought with Cui Yuanwu over who would pay, neither backing down!


    This naturally led to some comparisons!


    But when Cui Yuanwu arrived brandishing several pounds of property deeds, the other guy finally pretended to be too drunk.


    Hearing Yang Jianshu say this, Cui Yuanwu waved his hand and simply said, ¡°It won¡¯t affect anything, don¡¯t worry, Lao Yang, I¡¯ve been eliminated!¡±


    With that phrase, three people were suddenly stunned!

    (2/5 Please Subscribe) Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Serves You Right for Being Rich!


    (2/5 Please Subscribe) After all!


    Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng had seen for the first time someone who could speak of defeat with the poise of a victor.


    Um!


    That¡¯s right!


    When Cui Yuanwu talked about being eliminated, his tone was exactly like ¡°I advanced.¡±


    Yang Jianshu was used to it, though!


    He immediately said indignantly, ¡°You rascal, how can you be so happy about being eliminated!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu immediately rolled his eyes and said to Yang Jianshu, ¡°Me, getting eliminated¡­


    wasn¡¯t that just a matter of time?


    You know my level, Old Yang!¡±


    ¡°Besides, it¡¯s been years, it¡¯s like I¡¯ve made it to the finals already¡­¡±


    ¡°To be honest, Old Yang, you care too much about face and aren¡¯t down-to-earth enough.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??0.?¦Ï


    Don¡¯t you know my capabilities?


    Don¡¯t count on luck!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re also well aware that I¡¯m always unlucky, buying houses that get demolished, eating seafood and chipping my teeth on pearls, and running into a dark horse in a competitiona€¡±isn¡¯t that normal?¡±


    Hearing this, Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng were stunned for a moment, feeling like their brains had crashed!


    For some reason, three letters were floating around in their minds: ¡°MMP¡­


    MMP¡­¡±


    They looked at each other and quickly patted their heads, rebooting!


    Yang Jianshu sighed.


    Really, he knew well enough what kind of student he had.


    As Yang Jianshu was sighing, Cui Yuanwu suddenly said, ¡°Old Yang, don¡¯t be upset.


    The house you bought with me in Dongyu District three years ago is going to be in a school district.


    I heard that one of the top four elementary schools, the Fifth Experimental Elementary School, is going to move there!¡±


    At those words, Yang Jianshu¡¯s eyes lit up instantly!


    ¡°Really?


    For real?¡±


    Impressed by Little Cui¡¯s luck, Yang Jianshu had bought a house with him three years ago.


    He didn¡¯t expect¡­


    it really appreciated in value!


    It became a school district house!


    The price was over 8,000 then, and now at least 30,000!


    At the time, Yang Jianshu gritted his teeth and bought a large 258-square-meter house, thinking if all else failed, he could use it for retirement.


    With five bedrooms and three living rooms, when both children got married and came back, the family could gather together without feeling too cramped.


    Now¡­


    thinking about that much money, Yang Jianshu suddenly became excited.


    Cui Yuanwu sighed, ¡°Of course it¡¯s true.


    I was thinking of buying a peaceful place for my parents to retire, but then Anyang¡¯s municipal government moved east, and suddenly so many people followed.


    Now, great, it was a wasted purchase, and I have to find another place!¡±


    At this thought, Cui Yuanwu looked deeply at Yang Jianshu, ¡°Old Yang, why am I so unlucky!¡±


    ¡°By the way, I¡¯ll introduce you to a capable person, Chen Cang, the one who competed against me.


    That guy scored 90!


    I thought I performed beyond my abilities with an 88, which I was quite happy with, but I didn¡¯t expect¡­


    On his first competition, he went straight for a 90!¡±


    ¡°Old Yang, let¡¯s analyze his repair techniques and learn a bit!¡±


    Yang Jianshu looked at his student who was good at earning money yet lacked ambition, ¡°Come on, you¡¯re just too busy, otherwise, you definitely wouldn¡¯t be worse than Guo Yunfei!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu took a deep breath, ¡°You¡¯re the one who understands me.


    By the way, Old Yang, I¡¯m thinking of selling that house and finding a different place to buy two more units.


    What do you think?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Jianshu instantly slapped his thigh, ¡°Of course, no problem!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu nodded, ¡°Mm, let¡¯s watch the videos first.


    Tonight, I¡¯m treating you to hotpot, bring the Sect Leader¡¯s wife.¡±


    After finishing, the two of them took out their phones and started carefully watching the surgical videos!


    Meanwhile, Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng cleared their throats, hesitant to speak¡­


    The amount of information was too much, and they had not yet recovered.


    But what they could gather for now was that Chen had advanced, the Dongyu District¡¯s house price had risen, and tonight Yang Jianshu was going for hotpot.


    Cui Yuanwu, seeing Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng, quickly said, ¡°Oh, two teachers, let¡¯s watch the video together.


    Tonight¡­


    ?¦Ï???.?¦Ï


    how about we go to dinner?


    Discuss the matter of buying houses?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng immediately accepted, ¡°Great!


    No problem.¡±


    Thus, the four of them excitedly began watching the videos.


    After a while, having first finished Cui Yuanwu¡¯s surgery, they all nodded:


    ¡°Not bad!


    I think it¡¯s very outstanding; this stitching is flawless!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, this is impressive.


    Last year an 88 could have gotten you into the semi-finals, right?¡±


    ¡°Little Cui, don¡¯t be discouraged, come back next year!


    By the way, which residential area will you buy next time?¡±


    Cui Yuanwu shook his head, ¡°Teacher, let¡¯s talk about buying a house tonight, first let¡¯s discuss where my shortcomings are.¡±


    Tao Zi suddenly said, ¡°First watch Little Chen¡¯s surgery, then you might realize where you need to improve!¡±


    After saying that, he played the video of Chen Cang¡¯s surgery.


    Actually, Cui Yuanwu was also very curious how Chen Cang managed to score 90!


    Last year, 90 points qualified one to participate in the national competition.


    Guo Yunfei¡¯s highest score was 95 points.


    As the surgery began, everyone was taken aback!


    The speed of stopping the bleeding was too fast and too precise.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t waste any extra time and got straight to the point!


    At this, everyone¡¯s eyes lit upa€¡±such a confident young man.


    As the surgery went on, Chen Cang¡¯s stitching made Cui Yuanwu¡¯s brow tight because his own speed of stitching, which he was proud of, seemed insignificant in front of Chen Cang!


    So fast!


    How old was he?


    To be so fast!


    Yang Jianshu¡¯s eyes widened too, looking at Tao Zi, ¡°Is Little Chen¡¯s stitching foundation this good?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng gave a mysterious smile and shook his head, ¡°He¡¯s holding back!¡±


    Yang Jianshu and Cui Yuanwu exchanged glances, ¡°???¡±


    Xia Gaofeng said, ¡°Little Cui, Little Chen¡¯s stitching speed is even faster than this, really.


    He might have gone easy on you, otherwise¡­


    his score could have been a bit higher.


    Don¡¯t believe me?


    Watch the next match!¡±


    The two were momentarily stunned.


    Cui Yuanwu thought of Chen Cang¡¯s indifferent expression and immediately felt a liking for him!


    Ah¡­


    he went easy on me?


    At this thought, Cui Yuanwu¡¯s face flushed!


    As the big brother, I didn¡¯t look after the younger brother and was actually shown mercy by him¡­how embarrassing is that?


    The more he thought, the more embarrassed he felt!


    a€|


    a€|


    Chen Cang sat there, having also seriously watched Cui Yuanwu¡¯s surgery video.


    Solid basic skills, great talent, what was probably missing¡­was time to settle.


    After all, he had too heavy a burden, so much money; if it were me¡­I wouldn¡¯t have time to settle either.


    Affluent people are too restless!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang shook his head, finally understanding why he was poor.


    Just as he was about to check out Guo Yunfei¡¯s surgery video, suddenly the system notification sounded.


    [Ding!


    Cui Yuanwu¡¯s favorability +10!]


    Chen Cang was stunned; no wonder the guy was rich.


    Losing and still increasing his favorability towards me, this magnanimity indeed was extraordinary!


    Suddenly, he felt that a few meals at Haidilao were no big deal.

    (3/5 please subscribe) There was still more than half an hour before the next round of the competition would begin, and Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to spend too much time watching other people¡¯s surgical videos.


    He might as well open the reward he just got!


    [Cui Yuanwu¡¯s Radial Artery Injury Repair Technique Insights!]


    Quite a nice item!


    But now¡­


    Chen Cang found it somewhat tasteless.


    After all, he now truly understood where Dr.


    Cui¡¯s real strength lay!


    It absolutely wasn¡¯t in the radial artery injury repair technique, but in the [Lucky] attribute.


    Why didn¡¯t he drop even a little bit of Lucky attribute?


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling somewhat regretful.


    Compared to these surgical insights, the Lucky attribute was far more precious.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã0


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Why didn¡¯t it drop?


    Even if it wasn¡¯t the [Lucky] trait, dropping a property deed would have been fine, right?


    Like¡­


    [Ding!


    Congratulations on defeating Cui Yuanwu, a property deed from Xiong¡¯an New Area has dropped!]¡­


    Just the thought of it felt so thrilling.


    Unfortunately, reality was still very cruel.


    Looking at Cui Yuanwu¡¯s surgical insights, Chen Cang shook his head, sighed, and chose to activate it.


    Suddenly, a flood of memories entered Chen Cang¡¯s mind.


    These were a blend of numerous surgical memories and insights, all of Cui Yuanwu¡¯s memories about radial artery injury repair, including the choice of procedure, understanding of the wound, suture selection, and blood vessel wall treatment¡­


    And so on and so forth!


    After the influx of memories into Chen Cang¡¯s mind, he suddenly felt a clear understanding of radial artery injury repair techniques!


    Chen Cang immediately closed his eyes, continuously integrating these memories with his own surgical experience.


    There was no particularly good method to move from master to perfect level in surgery.


    Initially, Chen Cang thought it could be achieved through skill points.


    However, he later discovered that skill points could only enhance from beginner to master level.


    To break through to perfect, the only way was to gain more surgical experience and skills through continuous learning and practice, perfecting oneself.


    Acquiring others¡¯ surgical experience and insights was one way.


    And through special training cards was the second way.


    But¡­


    special training cards were just too hard to come by; now, the only one he had left, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t bear to use.


    Hopefully, Teacher Meng could ¡°win by lying down¡± and secure the second place, then I would be able to get another training card.


    Not long after, as Chen Cang opened his eyes, he suddenly heard the system notification chime.


    [Ding!


    Radial artery injury repair technique is currently at the quasi-perfect level, please seek a breakthrough opportunity.]


    Chen Cang was taken aback.


    This time, there was no task, but he had to find the breakthrough opportunity himself?


    Wasn¡¯t that just too pitiable?


    If it had been Dr.


    Cui, he probably would have broken through already, right?


    After all, you can¡¯t afford to provoke a king of luck!


    Quasi-perfect level was indeed much stronger than master level, just short of a perfect surgery, and the difference was probably just in terms of control.


    But that was enough!


    After carefully savoring the experience with closed eyes, it was time for the lottery draw to decide the next round of the competition.


    The audience was also looking forward with great anticipation.


    Chen Cang, looking at the competition¡¯s big list, was relieved to learn that Meng Xi had also made it to the next round.


    This worthless teacher really made things nerve-wracking for his disciple.


    While speaking, Chen Cang began to draw lots.


    C6, competition subject: No.


    5 (ascending aorta injury repair technique)


    Chen Cang saw the results and his face immediately brightened with joy, not bad at all!


    Let¡¯s see who¡¯s the unlucky one now?


    Chen Cang suddenly felt that compared to Wang Qian¡¯s plump and fair face, someone like Cui Yuanwu, with his godly aura, was the real treasure.


    It must have been the extra ¡°aura¡± he absorbed while they were together that decisively pushed him into the next round!


    So awesome!


    A perfect-level ascending aorta injury repair.


    Let¡¯s see which poor soul is so unlucky!


    Anyway, I don¡¯t know anyone on the big list, little Meng isn¡¯t in my group, and the only one I sort of remember, Guo Cute, is in Group A.


    Soon, the lottery results were displayed on the big screen!


    Chen Cang took a careful look:


    ¡°Ning Haosen?


    Cardiothoracic Surgery Department of Provincial People¡¯s Hospital?


    Not bad, not bad¡­


    Don¡¯t know him, no psychological burden if I win!¡±


    With that thought, Chen Cang sat there, already meditating and conserving energy, waiting for the next round of the competition to start.


    At this point, Tao Zi, Xia Gaofeng, and the other two had smoothly reached an agreement to stick together on buying a house!


    And they decided to go for seafood hotpot tonight.


    Yang Jianshu suddenly looked up: ¡°Eh?


    The list for the next round is out!¡±


    Everyone looked up: ¡°Chen Cang vs Ning Haosen?¡±


    Cui Yuanwu was stunned: ¡°Damn, this little Chen¡¯s luck is too dark!¡±


    ¡°First round against a formidable opponent like me, luckily advancing to face Ning Haosen next¡­


    This guy¡¯s luck¡­


    unbeatable!¡±


    The three directors, including Yang Jianshu, all sighed in unison.


    Being selected to stand alone in a group certainly means his influence is recognized.


    If Guo Yunfei stands out like a crane amongst chickens and Meng Xi leads in scientific research, then Ning Haosen is surely one of the strong pillars among his peers.


    The only pity is, Ning Haosen¡¯s luck is really troubling!


    If Cui Yuanwu is blessed by the gods, then Ning Haosen is definitely cursed!


    Yang Jianshu suddenly laughed: ¡°This year, little Ning¡¯s luck seems to have turned a bit, after facing Guo Yunfei in the second round for three consecutive years and getting directly eliminated!


    The odds of that happening are truly unmatched by anyone!¡±


    ¡°It seems that this year is an upturn in his fortunes, the first round he faced a deputy director from a county-level city, and the second round he got little Chen, doing his specialty, the ascending aorta injury repair.


    His luck is really not bad this year!¡±


    However, at this moment, Tao Zi suddenly heard Yang Jianshu mention the competition item and was momentarily stunned:


    ¡°The ascending aorta?


    Looks like¡­


    Ning Haosen is going to be unlucky again this year!¡±


    Xia Gaofeng also nodded: ¡°Sigh¡­


    This kid, I suggest he gets some blessings next New Year, at the very least, he should buy some anti-fungal cream, because¡­


    his luck stinks worse than athlete¡¯s foot!¡±


    Yang Jianshu was immediately taken aback: ¡°Director Xia, what do you mean?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng shook his head: ¡°The upcoming competition might be very brutal, especially for Doctor Ning, it could even leave a shadow.¡±


    Yang Jianshu laughed: ¡°Isn¡¯t that an exaggeration, little Chen is fierce, but there should be a limit!


    Besides, Doctor Ning isn¡¯t bad either!¡±


    Tao Zi shook his head: ¡°Old Yang, I¡¯m sorry to say, it¡¯s a good thing it¡¯s not you competing against little Chen, otherwise, he would make you doubt your life.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen him perform the ascending aorta injury repair surgery myself, his level in that operation, it¡¯s more impressive than ours!¡±


    ¡°Well, just wait and see, you¡¯ll understand what I mean soon enough.¡±


    That comment left the divine overseer and his disciple somewhat stunned.


    But the surgery was about to begin soon.


    Everyone was eagerly anticipating it.


    Before going onstage, Meng Xi turned around and gave Chen Cang a coquettish smile, which set the hearts of many doctors in the audience aflutter.


    But Chen Cang knew what that smile meant!


    ¡°Thank you, Director Chen (¡®tiaojiao¡¯), what you taught me just now was indeed very powerful!¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, comparing her to Guo Yunfei, then to himself¡­


    Being a mentor is really exhausting!

 Chapter 588 - Chapter 588 Chapter 588 Unyielding (Extra 45 for Alliance Hierarch Su??yu?¨ r?o f?ng)

    ?Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Unyielding (Extra 4/5 for Alliance Hierarch Su??yu?¡§ r?o f?¡°ng) Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Unyielding (Extra 4/5 for Alliance Hierarch Su??yu?¡§ r?o f?¡°ng) Ning Haosen felt a bit excited inside!


    How many years had it been!


    He was already 34 this year!


    Although he had never made it into a national competition, he was not panic-stricken at all!


    Just as they say, ¡°The blade¡¯s edge comes from honing, and the plum blossom¡¯s scent from the cold.¡±


    Even though others called him jinxed, Ning Haosen believed he was the true king of fortune.


    How can one see a rainbow without experiencing setbacks?


    He thought of people like Guo Yunfei as trials for himself!


    And today, would be the day for him:


    His sword unsheathed, the ice dragon roared, rising and falling with the billowing waves!


    The landscape smiles, the misty rain distant, who rules the roiling, unknown!


    I, Ning Haosen, am awesome!


    Yes!


    Ning Haosen had a strong mental fortitude, never fearing failure, and after each elimination by Guo Yunfei, he would diligently study and always make breakthroughs!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    In his eyes, he was definitely a lucky one; otherwise, why would the heavens give him so many challenges?


    It must be because the fruit of victory was too sweet!


    With that thought, the results of the second round of drawing lots came out.


    When Ning Haosen saw the name Chen Cang, he was momentarily stunned.


    He hadn¡¯t heard of him, but upon reading the brief introduction, he found out that Chen was from the Second Provincial Hospital, 27 years old.


    Um¡­


    After seeing this, Ning Haosen was taken aback.


    Ning Haosen had a resolute will and was no longer perturbed by external things.


    Facing the strong, he became stronger, not fearing powerful opponents in the least.


    In his view, it was only by clashing with the strong that one could challenge their limits and improve themselves!


    And compared to the honor of competition, personal progress was far more important!


    But this Dr.


    Chen, he was only 27 years old¡­


    Thinking this, Ning Haosen felt a bit embarrassed¡­


    As he reached the waiting area outside the competition, Ning Haosen glanced at Chen Cang and took the initiative to greet him, ¡°Doctor Chen, hello!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, but quickly responded with both hands, ¡°Doctor Ning, hello.¡±


    After all, the other was already quite unlucky; he should at least make him feel a bit more at ease, right?


    And now Chen Cang was slightly regretting not taking a better shot at Cui Yuanwu¡­


    Alas¡­


    Ning Haosen nodded, and started chatting with Chen Cang, shooting the breeze.


    Chen Cang was also very warm, talking about work, and about love.


    Both wanted to ensure the other was not displeased; at the very least, they could become friends, right?


    Otherwise, if one won against the other, there would be some feelings of guilt.


    Before long, the two of them felt as though true friends were hard to come by.


    The staff member beside them perked up their ears when they started discussing the prize money, curious to eavesdrop a bit.


    Suddenly, the door opened, and it was time for them to enter the examination room.


    Ning Haosen went in first.


    He looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Doctor Chen, I really enjoyed chatting with you.


    How about this, I¡¯ll host dinner tomorrow night.


    It¡¯ll be a way of breaking the ice.¡±


    Ning Haosen was not much for smiling, but he was sincere, which made Chen Cang feel somewhat obliged¡­


    Chen Cang hastily said, ¡°No, no, let me be the host for tomorrow.


    Let¡¯s meet at Haidilao, and bring your wife!¡±


    Ning Haosen nodded, ¡°Alright, no acquaintance without a fight, whoever advances will treat!¡±


    Ning Haosen felt confident, thus he had no psychological burden.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang also thought it was a good idea: ¡°No problem!¡±


    Ning Haosen smiled faintly: ¡°I won¡¯t go easy on you.¡±


    Chen Cang bared his teeth in a grin: ¡°Be careful not to lose too badly.¡±


    Ning Haosen, rarely smiling, stood up and entered the competition venue.


    Truthfully, he had a good impression of Chen Cang; this young guy had a good character, worthy of deeper friendship.


    After the competition, they could definitely have a good talk and exchange ideas.


    The surgery began.


    The ascending aorta suddenly spurted blood!


    The most common injury, a rupture at the aortic isthmus, and Ning Haosen, composed and unhurried, quickly began his operation.


    All his movements were smooth and flawless, accomplished in one go, giving off an impression of natural perfection.


    Even the examiners were impressed!


    They were expert directors from other provinces, and naturally had high standards; yet even so, when they saw Ning Haosen¡¯s surgery, they were somewhat astonished.


    What an outstanding young man!


    Given time, he would surely become a leading figure!


    Thinking this, the examiners nodded repeatedly, planning after the competition to leave a contact number to see if they could poach this young talenta€|


    The surgery was soon drawing to a close, and Ning Haosen¡¯s suturing very much appealed to the two examiners.


    One of the chief examiners couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°Well done!


    A very outstanding young man.¡±


    Ning Haosen nodded in thanks and left.


    Free and easy, meticulous, polite, neither servile nor overbearing.


    What a fine young man.


    Score: 95 points!


    Soon after, Ning Haosen came out, feeling he had performed exceptionally well.


    Seeing Chen Cang, he became a bit worried and couldn¡¯t help but offer encouragement, ¡°Doctor Chen, good luck!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a slight smile, ¡°Thank you, Doctor Ning!¡±


    Chen Cang entered the operating room while talking.


    After coming in, the discussion was still about Ning Haosen; Chen Cang bowed in greeting, preparing to start the surgery.


    Once Chen Cang¡¯s surgery began, it instantly made the two examiners do a double-take.


    Not bad at all!


    When had Dongyang Province gotten so strong?


    To have such an abundance of talent, even a young doctor like this possessed such skill.


    But¡­


    it was a pity, with such a tough act to follow, it would be very hard for little Chen to surpass it.


    Time ticked away second by second.


    The more the examiners watched, the more amazed they became, the more dumbstruck.


    Thisa€| thisa€| was too awesome!


    Indeed, the two examiners actually found that in handling many detailed aspects, the key parts of the surgery, consideration for the comprehensive systema€| in their grasp of the entire surgery, Chen Cang was actually superior to them!


    For a moment, they were dumbfounded and somewhat incredulous¡­


    Was this young man¡¯s performance in this surgery actually better than theirs?


    No!


    ?0¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    The question mark is wrong!


    It should be an exclamation mark!


    Chen Cang was definitely more skilled than they were.


    Thinking this, they couldn¡¯t help but blush.


    Every single detail, every single operation was done by Chen Cang with extreme precision, tantamount to perfection!


    Leaving the two examiners unable to find the slightest flaw.


    If you really had to nitpick, they could only say, how come you¡¯re so handsome, kid?


    Don¡¯t you know being too perfect is a fault?


    The surgery was quickly over.


    The two examiners had yet to come back to their senses.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but cough to remind the two examiners:


    ¡°Teachers, my surgery is complete.¡±


    After alla€| such a beautiful learning experience in surgery, over so soon?


    The chief examiner coughed, ¡°It¡¯s over?


    Oh¡­


    good!


    Good!


    Good!¡±


    The deputy examiner also hurriedly came to their senses, ¡°Oh!


    Not bad, very outstanding!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Thank you, teachers.¡±


    Then, he got up and left.


    The chief examiner looked at the deputy examiner, hesitantly asking, ¡°How many points?¡±


    The deputy examiner sighed, ¡°Ah¡­


    It¡¯s tough, I want to give full marks, becausea€| I can¡¯t find any flaws.¡±


    The chief examiner frowned, ¡°We¡¯ve never had full marks before¡­


    How about 98?¡±


    The deputy examiner was taken aback, ¡°Why deduct two points?¡±


    The chief examiner took a deep breath, ¡°Anyway, he has already advanced, there¡¯s no difference between 96 and 100.


    You give 100, I give 96, it averages to exactly 98, and besidesa€| 98 is a good score!¡±


    After all, deducing one point shows modesty, knocking off a point is because *****

 Chapter 589 - Chapter 589 Chapter 589 Attitude Determines Altitude

    ?Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Attitude Determines Altitude Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Attitude Determines Altitude The two examiners watched as Chen Cang left, still smiling as they said, ¡°Goodbye!¡±


    This left the scrub nurse and the assistant bewildered¡­


    Is that even possible?


    Examiners actively greeting students?


    That¡¯s¡­


    too abnormal, isn¡¯t it?


    After Chen Cang had left, both of them sighed.


    ¡°I feel that this young man, if he continues at today¡¯s level, will certainly achieve excellent results in the national competition, and he might even make it into the top ten,¡± the chief examiner said with conviction.


    The deputy examiner nodded in agreement, ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re the chief examiner, whatever you say is right!¡±


    Chief Examiner: ¡­


    Everyone: ¡­


    ¡­


    After Chen Cang came out, he returned to the waiting area, where Ning Haosen saw him and proactively got up.


    ¡°You¡¯re done with the exam so soon?¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    I just watched the video of your first surgery, and you¡¯re really amazing, especially your suturing speed.


    It¡¯s among the top¡­


    top few I¡¯ve seen.¡±


    Ning Haosen wanted to flatter, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn¡¯t go against his conscience and ended up with a rather vague number.


    Ah¡­


    Why is it so hard to flatter?


    Ning Haosen gave an awkward smile.


    Chen Cang, hearing this, also sweated a little and gave an awkward smile.


    Ning Haosen said with a smile, ¡°Take a rest.


    The results will be out in a while, and regarding your first surgery, I have a lot of thoughts.


    I think it¡¯s necessary for us to communicate and exchange ideas.¡±


    Chen Cang realized that Ning Haosen was truly a scholarly tyrant.


    Regardless of his talent, his solid and diligent professional pursuit was commendable.


    The two discussed based on the video of Chen Cang¡¯s first competition.


    It must be said that Ning Haosen provided a lot of constructive suggestions and even directly pointed out many of Chen Cang¡¯s shortcomings.


    Chen Cang accepted them with an open mind.


    Honestly, Chen Cang felt that if the competition were anything but the ascending aortic injury repair surgery, the results wouldn¡¯t necessarily be¡­


    But¡­


    unfortunately, Dr.


    Ning was simply unlucky.


    At this thought, Chen Cang suddenly felt sympathy for Ning Haosen.


    Suddenly, with some trepidation, Chen Cang asked, ¡°Dr.


    Ning, if you¡¯re eliminated¡­


    you won¡¯t be upset, will you?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ning Haosen¡¯s eyes lit up immediately.


    ¡°Upset?


    Of course not.


    Anyone who can eliminate me must absolutely be better than me in a certain area, so I really value every learning opportunity.


    This, for me, is a good thing.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t only not be upset, I¡¯ll be happy.


    The reason I participate in this competition every year is because I want to discover my deficiencies!¡±


    ¡°Actually, the purpose of the cardiac surgery skills competition is not for you to gain much honor, but its original intent is to provide a platform for professionals to compete.


    Only through comparison can we discover deficiencies and truly improve!¡±


    ¡°As competitors, we mustn¡¯t place honor as the primary goal; we need to understand its true meaning and then continuously improve our own strength and refine our surgical skills.


    That¡¯s the key.


    You too, Dr.


    Chen, must not get the cart before the horse!¡±


    ¡°We are doctors, not athletes.


    Our stage is the operating room, not the sports arena.


    Likewise, our goal is not medals, but to treat and save people.¡±


    ¡°No matter at which stage I¡¯m eliminated, it¡¯s the same principle for me.


    The real strong person is invincible!¡±


    ¡°Therefore, this competition, to me, is just an opportunity to discover my shortcomings.¡±


    Ning Haosen¡¯s remarks were made in an even tone, but they rang loud and clear in Chen Cang¡¯s ears!


    Right!


    Our stage is the operating room, and our goal isn¡¯t the championship but to treat patients and save lives.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    The purpose of the competition is to discover one¡¯s own inadequacies, not to advance by luck.


    In that moment, for some reason, Chen Cang regarded Ning Haosen with a bit more respect.


    ¡°Well done, Dr.


    Ning!


    You will definitely become the greatest doctor!¡± Chen Cang said sincerely.


    Regardless, Ning Haosen truly had a persistent, ever-striving, and confidently independent heart.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang felt even more inclined to befriend Ning Haosen.


    In life, choosing friends should naturally be done with care.


    If you have more people to remind you all the time, it¡¯s a good thing for you.


    Soon, the results were announced.


    Ning Haosen opened his transcript and smiled, ¡°My average score this year is 3 points higher than last year, 95 points this year.


    My first surgery was also 95 points, and the second one remained at 95.¡±


    Chen Cang, too, didn¡¯t hide anything and opened his own transcript, ¡°98 points, my first round was 90 points, the second round 98 points, I¡¯m developing in a specialized field.


    It seems I took advantage, having bumped into Dr.


    Ning in an area I¡¯m good at.


    It feels a bit like an undeserved victory.¡±


    Ning Haosen didn¡¯t seem to have any emotional fluctuations, but instead¡­


    seemed a bit happy!?


    Ning Haosen smiled, ¡°98 points?


    It looks like my luck is as good as it has always been!¡±


    ¡°Honestly, even Guo Yunfei has never faced an opponent with 98 points.


    So, it¡¯s like I¡¯ve already participated in a national competition.


    Last year¡¯s champion scored 99 points.


    As you can imagine, Dr.


    Chen, you have reached a leading position among the young generation in ascending aortic repair surgery!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m really looking forward to your surgery video, Dr.


    Chen.


    It might be the biggest takeaway for me this time.¡±


    Ning Haosen smiled genuinely.


    For him, it was a good thing.


    The tougher the competition, the stronger he would get, continually raising his own bar.


    That¡¯s the mindset of a true strong person.


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°Let¡¯s have hot pot tomorrow night, bring your wife and kids too.


    I¡¯ve also invited Dr.


    Cui Yuanwu.¡±


    Upon hearing about Cui Yuanwu, Ning Haosen smiled, ¡°Looks like someone is going to treat us tomorrow.¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly burst into laughter.


    It seems Dr.


    Cui¡¯s generosity is well-known in the circle!


    Ning Haosen said, ¡°Dr.


    Cui is really nice, wealthy without the attitude.


    Every time we have an annual cardiothoracic surgery gathering, he always takes us out for a great meal and then insists on picking up the tab.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, truly, people are different, a hundred people with a hundred natures!


    Cui Yuanwu has his own way of living.


    He has money to spare and uses it to build connections.


    While Ning Haosen is not afraid of failure, for him, every failure is a step towards his own improvement.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°You¡¯re quite a good person, Dr.


    Ning!¡±


    Ning Haosen smiled, ¡°I¡¯m thinking about something right now; maybe it¡¯s better not to call your sister-in-law tomorrow.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Why¡¯s that?¡±


    Ning Haosen said with a smile, ¡°Because after this, you¡¯ll eliminate three more opponents, I¡¯m guessing it¡¯s going to be another small industry gathering!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately burst into laughter.

 Chapter 590 - Chapter 590 Chapter 590 Fight Between Immortals

    ?Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Fight Between Immortals?


    Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Fight Between Immortals?


    When the members from the second round came out, one could tell the results of the competition just by looking at their expressions!


    Cui Yuanwu stared ahead, suddenly stunned, ¡°Damn, Da Ning really got eliminated by little Chen!¡±


    ¡°Director Tao, your guess was spot on!¡±


    Yang Jianshu glanced at his lucky yet clueless apprentice, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, Dr.


    Ning looks quite happy, doesn¡¯t he?


    The results¡­


    haven¡¯t come out yet, have they?


    How do you know Ning Haosen lost!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu rolled his eyes, ¡°Old Yang, you don¡¯t understand that guy Ning Haosen.


    When he wins, he would never smile like that, he¡¯d be as expressionless as me when I lose.


    If he actually lost, he¡¯d be happier than if he had won the competition!¡±


    Everyone, upon hearing Cui Yuanwu¡¯s words, was momentarily taken aback.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã0


    Is that even possible?


    Someone is happy about losing?


    Cui Yuanwu was known for his ¡°charitable nature¡±, dealing with many people, from directors to interns, and generally had pretty good relations with everyone.


    It was then that Cui Yuanwu explained Ning Haosen¡¯s story to everyone.


    After listening, instead of laughing, everyone took a deep breath and shook their heads in respect!


    Now, that¡¯s the quality a doctor should have.


    Tao Zi sighed with admiration, ¡°He¡¯s truly a good doctor; this young man has a limitless future ahead of him!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu said with a smile, ¡°If I were to open a hospital, I¡¯d definitely want Dr.


    Ning as the chief of cardiothoracic surgery, and maybe even the vice-president.


    He¡¯s got ideas.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng wondered, ¡°I don¡¯t know how many points little Chen and Ning Haosen scored?¡±


    After pondering for a moment, Yang Jianshu said, ¡°I suppose the difference wasn¡¯t big.¡±


    At that moment, the screen changed, and suddenly, the results and the list of those advancing to the next round appeared on the big screen.


    The host announced, ¡°Everyone can now take a short break before leaving the venue.


    We have complimentary meals provided at the third-floor cafeteria, and soon the staff will hand out meal vouchers.¡±


    ¡°The contestants who have advanced to the next round, please be on time at half-past two in the afternoon for the draw of the afternoon competition!¡±


    After the announcement, everyone carefully checked the advancement list on the big screen and immediately found their positions.


    During the morning, more than half of the participants were eliminated.


    Out of 120 competitors, only 30 remained, with each group having only 10 people left.


    Therefore, the competition in the afternoon was especially important, as it would more or less determine the champions of each group!


    The eliminated contestants, looking at the list, heaved sighs of disappointment, as for many, the annual competition had come to an end for them.


    And the meddlers, scanning the list, searched for familiar friends to see who had made it to the next round.


    Seeing friends advance elicited feelings of envy, jealousy, and regret.


    But when they saw the advancement list for Group C, they were instantly dumbfounded!


    ¡°Ning Haosen got eliminated!¡±


    ¡°What?


    Ning Haosen?


    By whom?¡±


    ¡°Impossible, right?


    Ning Haosen is very strong!¡±


    ¡­


    Seeing Ning Haosen¡¯s elimination left everyone in shock.


    After all, people knew to some extent about the measures taken to prevent top players like Guo Yunfei, Meng Xi, and Ning Haosen from competing against each other early on by placing them into separate groups.


    Although it was confidential, those who had participated in previous years were quite familiar with some of these inner workings.


    And indeed, this was an unspoken understanding among the different provinces.


    Exactly because of this, people were even more astounded; Ning Haosen was a seeded contestant, yet he was eliminated in the second round!


    That¡¯s just too inconceivable, isn¡¯t it?


    Everyone turned their attention to the competition list, only to find that Ning Haosen¡¯s opponent was Chen Cang!


    Who is that?


    The name was far too unfamiliar to everyone; typically, the majority of contestants were acquaintances, even thoroughly known to one another.


    There were newcomers as well, but not many.


    Out of curiosity, they opened the competition records for the two.


    What they saw left them dumbfounded¡­


    Was this a fight between gods?


    Ning Haosen scored 95 points!


    Chen Cang scored 98 points!


    Should such a score even appear in the second round of the provincial competition?


    Isn¡¯t it supposed to occur in the national competition?


    Thinking this, everyone found it somewhat inconceivable.


    Just who is this Chen Cang, the one who scored 98 points?


    For a moment, the discussions were rife; even members of Groups A and B, aside from Group C, began curiously asking around about who Chen Cang was.


    Because not a single person in Groups A and B had scored 98 points today!


    Even Guo Yunfei had only 96 points, and Meng Xi had even less with 94 points.


    Compared to those scores, Chen Cang¡¯s 98 points suddenly drew everyone¡¯s attention.


    Guo Yunfei himself was also looking at the large screen curiously, opening Chen Cang¡¯s score to take a close look.


    The glaring number 98 forced Guo Yunfei to take it seriously.


    He had been rivals with Ning Haosen for three years, well aware of Ning Haosen¡¯s strength.


    A person wholeheartedly devoted to his career, and even a year younger than himself.


    Because of this, he became even more curious about Chen Cang.


    Guo Yunfei had a good memory; he remembered that at the site of the highway bridge accident, Chen Cang had helped him complete a surgery.


    That young man¡­


    could he really be that impressive?


    Pondering over the surgery Chen Cang performed back then, from the decisive incisions to the sharp hemostasis, every step was precise.


    But he truly had not expected Chen Cang to surpass him!


    Guo Yunfei had his own confidence.


    Upon opening the details of Chen Cang¡¯s competition event, Guo Yunfei was taken aback.


    ¡°Ascending aortic injury repair surgery!¡±


    It was exactly the same as the one he had performed on the scene of the car accident.


    Out of curiosity and no longer in the mood for eating, Guo Yunfei simply sat down and started to watch the video.


    Seeing Guo Yunfei opening the video, a colleague couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Guo, why don¡¯t you go have some food first?¡±


    Guo Yunfei nodded with a smile and waved his hand, ¡°You go ahead, I¡¯ll join you after I finish watching this.¡±


    After the colleague nodded and got up to leave,


    Guo Yunfei was immediately captivated by Chen Cang¡¯s surgery as soon as it began!


    The attention to detail from the start was enough to make him feel the gap!


    Why would I say that?


    ??¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Because the layout of an expert is from start to finish, a sign of control that one simply can¡¯t appreciate without reaching a certain level and perceiving the difference.


    Little by little, Guo Yunfei¡¯s surprise grew the more he watched, his curiosity piquing.


    It was during the suturing that Guo Yunfei was flabbergasted.


    This¡­


    why does this suturing look so familiar?


    It seems to have my own style?


    But¡­


    This is definitely not my style; it¡¯s even better than mine.


    Thinking this, Guo Yunfei suddenly became serious.


    Because this was also the direction in which he was striving to improve.


    With this in mind, Guo Yunfei watched earnestly.


    The more he watched, the more engrossed he became; and the more he watched, the more reflective he felt.


    Recalling the surgery he performed in the ambulance, alongside some show-off mentality¡­


    Now looking back, Guo Yunfei couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh.


    Chen Cang¡¯s technique was far superior to his own, and here he was¡­


    trying to show off!


    The thought alone was enough to make him blush¡­

 Chapter 591 - Chapter 591 Chapter 591 My Hand Really Stinks!

    ?Chapter 591: Chapter 591: My Hand Really Stinks!


    Chapter 591: Chapter 591: My Hand Really Stinks!


    It must be said, Chen Cang became the dark horse!


    He emerged as the dark horse from Group C, the so-called ¡°Group of Death,¡± in this competition.


    Famous from a single battle!


    At lunchtime, everyone going downstairs for a meal was talking about none other than Chen Cang.


    ¡°Hey?


    Look, Dr.


    Chen is only 27 years old!¡±


    ¡°Yeah!


    That¡¯s amazing, right?


    To have such skill at 27?¡±


    ¡°Exactly, 98 points, isn¡¯t that what the national champion scored last year?


    Our Dongyang Province is going to produce a master this year!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    ¡­


    In the entire third-floor cafeteria, while everyone was eating, all the discussions revolved around the morning¡¯s competition, with Chen Cang being the most crucial topic of them all.


    Everyone had Chen Cang¡¯s competition video on their devices, slowing down each detail to watch and discuss!


    After all, a video of surgery worth 98 points is truly priceless!


    For everyone present, it was also an exceptional learning experience.


    If someone drew an ascending aorta injury repair during the competition, wouldn¡¯t it be great if they could glean something meaningful from Dr.


    Chen¡¯s surgery?


    After watching the video, everyone engaged in lively discussions about the surgery.


    Meng Xi was sitting with Chen Cang, Cui Yuanwu, Ning Haosen, Xia Gaofeng, Tao Zi, and Director Yang Jianshu.


    Meng Xi, listening to the conversations around her, felt somewhat discontent.


    She had performed exceptionally well today, hadn¡¯t she?


    Yet not a single person had praised her.


    This damn Chen Cang, always stealing the spotlight wherever he went.


    And what was key, people didn¡¯t even know that Chen Cang was her student¡­


    This was a huge loss.


    No, that wouldn¡¯t do.


    By the time of the national competition, she would have to update Chen Cang¡¯s information, adding a mentor: Meng Xi.


    That way, when he won the championship, she would also bask in the glory.


    Cui Yuanwu, meanwhile, said nothing.


    He poured himself a full cup of coconut juice and said to Chen Cang:


    ¡°Hey¡­


    Dr.


    Chen, I¡¯m somewhat embarrassed!¡±


    Everyone was startled, staring at Cui Yuanwu, not understanding why he would say that.


    Even Chen Cang was taken aback.


    ¡°Dr.


    Cui, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Cui Yuanwu sighed, ¡°I¡¯m ashamed.


    When I competed, I never thought about taking it easy, but¡­


    you took it easy on me.


    No more words, coconut juice in place of wine, I¡¯ll drink first.


    From now on, I consider you a friend.


    Also, I¡¯ve got tomorrow night¡¯s arrangements covered!¡±


    ¡°Da Ning, you should come too!¡±


    Ning Haosen nodded, ¡°Alright!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu nodded in satisfaction.


    He admired Ning Haosen, but¡­


    Dr.


    Ning rarely joined gatherings.


    Today¡¯s appearance was obviously because of Chen Cang.


    Cui Yuanwu seemed casual, but he was actually very meticulous, with a keen grasp of people¡¯s hearts and details.


    This was one of the reasons he had so many friends.


    After lunch, Chen Cang bid farewell to the others and went to the competition venue, taking his seat at his assigned place.


    [Ding!


    Successful PK with Ning Haosen, drop: Ning Haosen¡¯s insights on repairing an ascending aorta injury.]


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t hesitate; he chose to activate it right away.


    The more you learn, the more assurance you have.


    Now that things had come to this point, there was clearly no going back.


    He had to give it his all to secure victory in this competition.


    Luck couldn¡¯t always be on one¡¯s side.


    Although there was no powerhouse like Guo Yunfei in Group C, there were still plenty of minor bosses.


    Chen Cang naturally couldn¡¯t be complacent; he had to give it his all.


    Chen Cang looked at the items dropped from the PK, all insights and reflections of his competitors, which were beneficial for him.


    If Chen Cang were to emerge victorious all the way, there would be four matches and four pieces of experience dropped.


    No Chen Cang would want to waste any of them.


    To be honest, miss this village, and there truly wouldn¡¯t be a store like this again.


    In fact, those who have made it this far already possess excellent capabilities.


    They basically all have master-level operations, and there are even some that are almost perfect.


    Take Cui Yuanwu for example, his repair technique for the ulnar artery injury is almost perfect.


    And Ning Haosen¡¯s descending aorta repair technique is also almost perfect.


    Actually, to speak more generally, scores are the best standard.


    Master level corresponds to 80-90 points, while almost perfect can be between 91-97.


    According to the system¡¯s rules, advanced surgery has a special effect, meaning there¡¯s a particular operation one is very good at, and a master needs at least two.


    Since everyone excels in different operations and in varying numbers, there are differences even among masters, and almost perfect lies between master and perfect, meaning having many small operations one is quite skilled at.


    Many of Tao Zi¡¯s surgeries are almost perfect, but that doesn¡¯t mean Tao Zi is stronger than Chen Cang in all aspects, because Tao Zi might not excel where Chen Cang does.


    Moreover, the way Tao Zi looks at Chen Cang is just as one would regard a junior, a young person with master-level skill at such a young age, who wouldn¡¯t be shocked?


    To evolve from master to perfect, one needs to learn from a hundred schools and continuously improve oneself.


    This is also why Chen Cang was still able to guide Meng Xi.


    These guidances were Chen Cang¡¯s own experiences and insights, which he kept imparting to Meng Xi to make it their own and thus improve.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    This competition opportunity was exceptionally rare, as every defeat resulted in the capture of an opponent¡¯s insights, and Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to watch them slip through his fingers.


    He must give it his all!


    After Ning Haosen¡¯s surgical insight was activated, a surge of memories flooded into Chen Cang¡¯s mind.


    In comparison to Cui Yuanwu, Ning Haosen¡¯s insights were all extracted from surgery after surgery.


    This was a doctor with extremely stringent demands on himself.


    Time ticked away, second by second, a multitude of memories and surgical insights steadily merged with his own knowledge system, bit by bit becoming part of him.


    After a while, Chen Cang opened his eyes, and at that moment, he suddenly heard the system notification.


    [Ding!


    Descending aorta repair technique upgraded to almost perfect level!]


    Chen Cang stayed silent, another technique had reached almost perfect status.


    Almost perfect is just one word away from perfect, but there¡¯s much more than one thing between them, the rest now is up to Chen Cang¡¯s own understanding.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At two thirty in the afternoon, the host arrived at the site, and the draw was about to begin.


    The three groups sat in their respective areas, ready for the surgery to start.


    Team C members unanimously cast their eyes on Chen Cang, with curiosity and wariness evident in their gazes, none of them wanted to face this dark horse too early!


    After all, this was someone capable of scoring a high mark of 98, far too strong.


    Soon after, the draw commenced, and Chen Cang drew C5-5 (Anonymous Aorta Repair Surgery).


    When the list was made public, another young person saw his opponent and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    This is just my bad luck, to come up against Chen Cang!


    I must¡¯ve used my right hand to wipe my ass at lunch, and for the draw¡­


    it¡¯s my damn right hand again.


    It¡¯s stinking.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: (No charge) Today, I took the opportunity to talk about the power system.


    Actually, the thing about high-level, master-level having special effects, I¡¯ve thought about it for a long time, and really, this represents the small operations you¡¯re proficient at in surgery.


    For example, special effects of the descending aorta repair surgery: 1.


    Precise hemostasis; 2.


    Rapid suture, these are part of the surgery, some people are very good at these, so they are expressed as special effects to help everyone understand better.


    ?¦Ï??¦Ï.§ã?


    Writing just two chapters for now, I¡¯ll write more during the day, I can¡¯t stay awake any longer¡­


    goodnight.

 Chapter 592 - Chapter 592 Chapter 592 Tonight

    ?Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Tonight¡­


    Guide me!


    Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Tonight¡­


    Guide me!


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen, haha¡­


    I never expected to meet you so soon!¡±


    In the afternoon, with just five teams, they could start their battles simultaneously, without having to queue up and wait.


    Walking along the road, a doctor from the Municipal People¡¯s Hospital looked wistfully at Chen Cang and said helplessly.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Chen Cang also gave an embarrassed smile.


    Seeing the other person¡¯s pitiful manner, he didn¡¯t know what to say: ¡°Keep it up!¡±


    The other party was about to cry!


    What good is encouraging?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    If encouragement were useful, why would we need examiners?


    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s just take it as a learning experience.


    I hope by comparing myself with Dr.


    Chen, I can discover where I fall short!¡± The man was indeed frank and said with a smile.


    Actually, such competitions are quite meaningful.


    It is easy to spot one¡¯s own deficiencies by comparison in competitions involving the same type of injury and then improve upon them.


    At this thought, the man suddenly cheered up.


    ¡°Actually¡­


    even if I luckily win, I won¡¯t make it to the finals, I¡¯m bound to meet Dr.


    Chen sooner or later, so it doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s sooner or later.¡±


    ¡°After my competition is over, I¡¯ll go back and thoroughly study Dr.


    Chen¡¯s surgical techniques.


    Maybe I¡¯ll make some improvements.¡±


    Having said that, he went straight into the operating room.


    Whether it¡¯s ascending aorta, descending aorta, or even the brachiocephalic artery¡­


    in the end, all of these are just one type of surgery in the cardiac surgery framework, called: intrathoracic major vascular trauma surgery.


    This is also one of the most basic and urgent series of common diseases in cardiovascular surgery.


    If one can master all of these skills, then essentially, one can complete the major cardiovascular thoracic surgeries.


    Cardiac surgery can actually be divided into several major categories of surgery.


    First is pericardial surgery, which is outside the heart, with a risk coefficient that is not as high as the heart and blood vessels, and is considered an entry-level.


    Next is major vascular surgery, which involves the heart¡¯s blood vessels.


    This significantly raises the risk coefficient, but it is still not as difficult as heart surgery.


    Last are the surgeries on the heart itself, such as those involving the aortic valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve, and even the atria and ventricles.


    The competition proceeded without too many surprises.


    The colleague from the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital performed adequately, ultimately scoring slightly lower than Cui Yuanwu, and lower than Ning Haosen, with only about 85 points.


    Actually, this score was already quite good.


    At the age of 35, one reaches their prime years, suitable for a senior attending physician and even for the level of an associate chief physician.


    Therefore, it¡¯s common to encounter excellent performances from doctors.


    And Chen Cang at 27 was an exception, even Meng Xi at 30 seemed a bit young.


    After the results of the competition were announced, everyone immediately checked the outcomes.


    And Chen Cang, Guo Yunfei, and Meng Xi were still the focus of everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Guo Yunfei 96 points!


    So consistent!¡±


    ¡°Meng Xi 93 points, also very good, maintaining stability.¡±


    ¡°Chen Canga€| huh?


    Chen Cang only got 91 points!¡±


    Everyone eagerly discussed, looking at the scores on the big screen.


    ¡°Chen Cang¡¯s performance is so unstable.


    First, it was 90, then 98, now 91¡­¡±


    ¡°What are you thinking?


    How old is Dr.


    Chen?


    27 years old, okay?


    Being proficient in a specialized operation at 27 is already quite impressive; it¡¯s natural that not all scores can be as high as 98!¡±


    ¡°Hmm, that makes sense.


    I think Dr.


    Chen¡¯s level should be around 91 points on average, and the surgery for repairing ascending aorta injury should be his specialty!¡±


    ¡°No, it could also be because the operation was particularly challenging, which could have led to the lower score.


    Let¡¯s take a close look later.¡±


    a€|


    A group of people began to analyze carefully, for after all, they would be competitors next.


    Naturally, they needed a detailed understanding of their opponents.


    Upon hearing what everyone said, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but pause; they were all so talented¡­


    ¡°`


    ¡°Can this even be analyzed?¡±


    ¡°`


    Just then, a doctor from the Municipal People¡¯s Hospital walked over and took the initiative to shake Chen Cang¡¯s hand in congratulation, ¡°Congratulations, Doctor Chen, ah¡­


    Thank you for not making my loss look too bad, to think this surgery scored only 85 points, how embarrassing.¡±


    Chen Cang responded with a smile and exchanged a few polite words.


    [Ding!


    PK successful, congratulations on obtaining the thoracic aortic repair technique experience!]


    With crowds of people all around, Chen Cang hesitated briefly before deciding to wait a moment before leaving.


    He casually activated the thoracic aortic repair technique.


    Chen Cang had already received one thoracic aortic experience from Ning Haosen, and now, another one.


    As he integrated these experiences, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system¡¯s notification chime:


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, your thoracic aortic repair technique has been elevated to perfect level!]


    Upon receiving the message, Chen Cang¡¯s face brightened instantly!


    So this was all it took to break through?


    Feeling a deeper understanding of thoracic aortic repair, the expression on Chen Cang¡¯s face brightened.


    Great!


    The second perfect little skill had also emerged.


    But!


    Just after the second perfect vascular repair skill appeared, Chen Cang had the premonition that if he could elevate all seven skills to the perfect level,


    his [Vascular suturing technique] could also be brought to perfection!


    Now that would be awesome!


    [Vascular suturing], like [Tendon suturing], is one of the fundamental core skills.


    If he could continue to deepen his understanding of vascular suturing through all these thoracic major vascular techniques, he would eventually break through to the perfect level!


    And [Vascular suturing] is applicable to all kinds of vascular anastomosis surgeries throughout the body, whether it¡¯s for the liver, spleen, or abdominal major vessels, none can do without [Vascular suturing].


    Chen Cang had the distinct feeling that this national cardiothoracic skill competition presented him with a rare opportunity!


    At this moment, not only the other competitors but also the directors were perplexed by Chen Cang.


    Yang Jianshu looked confused after watching the surgery video.


    Bewildered, he turned to Tao Zi and asked, ¡°Director Tao¡­


    what exactly is the level of this young Chen?¡±


    Tao Zi swallowed hard, Chen Cang¡¯s level was already very impressive, but¡­


    there was still a significant gap from the ascending aortic injury repair.


    After considering it,


    Tao Zi lowered his voice and spoke with a hint of mystery, ¡°Hmm¡­


    I think Chen was doing it on purpose!¡±


    Everyone was taken aback, and both Cui Yuanwu and Ning Haosen exchanged glances.


    ¡°Why?¡± they asked.


    Tao Zi continued mysteriously, ¡°Think about it, now in Group C, everyone sees Chen as a competitor.


    They want to analyze Chen Cang¡¯s weaknesses and improve themselves.


    At this time, he certainly would want to hide his abilities!


    Moreover, at the national competition, if everyone considers Chen Cang as a pretend enemy, how can he be a dark horse?!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly had an epiphany¡­


    So that¡¯s how it is!?


    Xia Gaofeng looked at Tao Zi: Really like that?


    Tao Zi¡¯s face turned red, and he rolled his eyes: How would I know, I was making it up.


    Besides¡­


    I don¡¯t even know what Chen¡¯s real strength really is!


    ¡­


    For a moment, everyone was mystified by Chen Cang.


    Only one person, Meng Xi, eagerly approached Chen Cang, ¡°Coach me tonight!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned¡­

 Chapter 593 - Chapter 593 Chapter 593 Waiting Online, Quite Urgent!

    ?Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Waiting Online, Quite Urgent!


    (Additional Chapter 1/2 for Alliance Hierarch Sakura Ah Sakura Ah) Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Waiting Online, Quite Urgent!


    (Additional Chapter 1/2 for Alliance Hierarch Sakura Ah Sakura Ah) Meng Xi really did taste the sweetness!


    Chen Cang¡¯s guidance was incredibly useful!


    She found that Chen Cang had a very good grasp of the core elements of vascular repair, and with his pointers, Meng Xi basically reaped great rewards!


    Meng Xi herself already had considerable strength, and coupled with Chen Cang¡¯s heartfelt teachings, she naturally improved very quickly.


    In today¡¯s competition, she was able to score so high, naturally because of Chen Cang¡¯s meticulous guidance.


    However, tomorrow¡¯s competition is the key of keys; it will be much more difficult than today.


    Basically, tomorrow will be a tough battle.


    To enter the top five of the group, none are an easy lamp to save on oil.


    Without real strength and ability, it¡¯s very difficult to win the competition.


    Guo Yunfei wasn¡¯t worried at all, but her, Meng Bao Bao¡¯s heart was still frantically racing.


    She knew she was bluffing!


    All of today¡¯s achievements were thanks to Chen Cang¡¯s guidance.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    Thinking about tomorrow¡¯s competition, she decided to ask Teacher Chen to work overtime and go through the videos again.


    Chen Cang looked at Meng Xi sitting by his side, hand propping her cheek, pouting her small mouth, blinking her eyes, and that outfit, somewhat uniform-like¡­


    It was just like a scene from a certain comic: Master, please ¡°guide¡± me tonight!


    Chen Cang quickly shook his head!


    He stood up, looked at Meng Xi with a sense of righteousness, shook his head, and firmly said, ¡°Alright!¡±


    This set of flirty maneuvers directly dumbfounded Meng Xi herself.


    She said with a smile in her curving eyes, ¡°Your body is very dishonest¡­


    ¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, ¡°Meng Teacher, please be mindful of the occasion!


    This is not an operating room¡­¡±


    Meng Xi snorted, ¡°Sister doesn¡¯t like little boys like you.¡±


    Chen Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°That¡¯s good¡­¡±


    ¡°However¡­


    Meng Teacher, as your student, I¡¯m very curious about your lifelong big affair!


    Do you have a partner?¡± Chen Cang curiously asked, after all, a woman like Meng Xi with great figure, education, looks, ability, and family background, shouldn¡¯t lack suitors, right?


    But Chen Cang had never seen Meng Xi chatting with a man, nor had she often mentioned other men to him!


    The closest seemed to be himself.


    As her disciple, he was also very concerned!


    When Meng Xi heard Chen Cang¡¯s words, she immediately smiled with her eyes squinting, her eyelashes fluttering, ¡°Do you really want to know?¡±


    Chen Cang, of course, nodded, ¡°Yes, if you don¡¯t get married, I feel very insecure as your student.¡±


    Meng Xi suddenly choked on her saliva¡­


    coughing so much that she was shaking, especially certain glandular tissues, moving irregularly.


    The group of cardiovascular surgeons around were so envious they almost wanted to switch to mammary surgery on the spot!


    They looked at Meng Xi with concern, their big eyes staring intently, seemingly very worried.


    But their eyes were honest¡­


    their continuously throbbing throats gave them away.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang broke into a sweat!


    Having such a teacher made him as a disciple panic!


    He immediately glared at Meng Xi, ¡°Meng Teacher, mind the influence in a public place!¡±


    Meng Xi coughed and finally relaxed, ¡°Actually¡­


    I do have a partner!¡±


    Chen Cang was surprised, ¡°Oh?


    No picture, no truth!¡±


    Hearing this, Meng Xi immediately took out her phone from her pocket, opened a picture, and said, ¡°Look, my partner!¡±


    After seeing the picture, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief.


    He looked at Meng Xi incredulously, ¡°This¡­


    this¡­


    is this appropriate?¡±


    Meng Xi shrugged, ¡°What¡¯s inappropriate about it?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°Are you serious?¡±


    Meng Xi patted her chest, ¡°Of course!¡±


    This pat made the crowd around, who was ready to leave, decide to sit for a few more minutes.


    After all¡­


    there was nothing else to do when they got back.


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Ah, I didn¡¯t expect Meng Teacher and I were comrades-in-arms.


    My apologies!¡±


    Meng Xi also sighed, leaning back in the chair, her expression wistful, ¡°Too bad, my partner was snatched away by the old thief Sikong!¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, finally understanding the situation.


    Buta€| it was still hard to accept!


    He turned to look at Meng Xi and said leisurely, ¡°Meng Teacher, youa€|¡±


    Meng Xi was startled and saw that Chen Cang had stopped mid-sentence, instantly dumbfounded, ¡°What about me, just spit it out already?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed regretfully, ¡°You¡¯re so attractive, it¡¯s such a waste!¡±


    What he didn¡¯t say was, ¡°How great would it be if you could give your ¡®advantages¡¯ to my adorable Xiao Qin?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi laughed, ¡°How do you know women don¡¯t like pretty women?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, suddenly at a loss for words!


    Soon, after some discussion among everyone, it was known¡­


    Meng Xi was actually Chen Cang¡¯s teacher!


    At that revelation, the people around were all stunned.


    This teacher-student duo was too incredible, wasn¡¯t it?


    Their eyes were glued to Meng Xi, feeling they had underestimated this woman.


    If her student was so formidable, just how amazing must she be?


    With that thought, the crowd could not help but express their admiration.


    Suddenly, a man said, ¡°If I had a teacher like that, I¡¯d surely be very impressive too!¡±


    As soon as the words were uttered, they received nods of agreement from the people around!


    ¡°Exactly, if my teacher looked like that, my skills would definitely not be what they are now.


    I¡¯d be absolutely incredible!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, with a teacher like that, why would I leave class?


    I¡¯d hate not doing surgery with the teacher every day!¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­


    success really has no accidentsa€¡±especially a man¡¯s success¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Listenting to the conversations around him, Cui Yuanwu also sighed, ¡°If I had such a teacher, I could definitely make it to the national competition!¡±


    After hearing this, Yang Jianshu¡¯s temples bulged with several new veins.


    He swore he wasn¡¯t angry, just that his blood was simply rushing to his head, wanting to hit someone, that¡¯s all.


    Ning Haosen didn¡¯t speak, just sighed deeply.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    There¡¯s a kind of teacher known as ¡°someone else¡¯s teacher!¡±


    In that moment, everyone looked at Chen Cang with envy.


    Ah¡­


    He deserved to be outstanding!


    With such a tutor, ugh, with such a teacher, how could he not excel?


    At this time, everyone wanted to come over and ask if Director Meng had the habit of tutoring¡­


    or if it was possible?


    Ah¡­


    Chen Cang looked at the group around him and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Ah¡­


    You all had a chance, it was just a flight to Thailand short of pursuing Teacher Meng!


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang and said with a smiling face, ¡°You wouldn¡¯t talk nonsense, right?¡±


    Chen Cang spread his hands helplessly, ¡°Of course not.¡±


    Originally, according to the usual tropes and scripts of martial arts novels,


    Chen Cang should have valiantly helped his teacher fulfil her longstanding wishes, defeat the villain Sikong, and then whisper in his ear, ¡°My teacher is Meng Xi!¡±


    But now, he was having some regrets!


    After all¡­


    it was still uncertain who the third wheel truly was.


    It was not clear who was stealing whose partner!


    At this moment, Chen Cang was under a lot of pressure.


    Ah¡­


    Teacher Meng has fallen for Dr.


    Sikong¡¯s partner, whom should I help?


    Waiting online, it¡¯s urgent¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Excited!


    Excited!


    Today we gained two Alliance Hierarchs, thanks to the 100000 reward from the Alliance Hierarch ¡°Sakura Ah, Little Sakura¡±!


    An additional two chapters today, I¡¯ll finish them!


    Thank you ¡°Fire Dance, Heart of Love¡± Miss for the 60000 reward, becoming an Alliance Hierarch of this book!


    Adding two more chapters, I will strive to finish them today!


    If I can¡¯t¡­


    tomorrow then¡­


    Thanks to the brother ¡°Night of Uncertain Significance¡± for the 10000 reward.


    Thank you!


    More to come this afternoon¡­

 Chapter 594 - Chapter 594 Chapter 594 Using the Mole, Stop the Transaction!

    ?Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Using the Mole, Stop the Transaction!


    (Additional Chapter for Alliance Hierarch Sakura Ah Sakura Ah) Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Using the Mole, Stop the Transaction!


    (Additional Chapter for Alliance Hierarch Sakura Ah Sakura Ah) ¡°There¡¯s a mole, cancel the transaction!¡±


    When Chen Cang saw the message, he was startled for a moment, and he didn¡¯t understand it until he went to the cardiovascular surgery meeting room in Dongda First Hospital that evening.


    After entering, he couldn¡¯t help but freeze!


    The small meeting room, which was supposed to accommodate only seven or eight people, was actually packed!


    A rough estimate, no more than eleven or twelve!


    To make things more convenient, everyone had simply moved the chairs away, standing there, which seemed¡­


    surprisingly spacious.


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen is here!¡±


    ¡°Hello, Dr.


    Chen!¡±


    ¡°Good morning, Dr.

    Chen¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Cang was instantly stunned!


    How could this be?


    What happened to the private space discussion of gory, unclothed surgical videos?


    Chen Cang looked at this group of burly men and couldn¡¯t help but feel a tingling in his scalp!


    Xia Gaofeng looked at Chen Cang, pulled him aside with an awkward smile, ¡°Xiao Chen, I¡¯m also helpless.¡±


    Chen Cang was puzzled, ¡°What¡­


    What¡¯s going on here?¡±


    Xia Gaofeng sighed.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    During dinner, he accidentally let slip about the video discussion he had with Meng Xi, and now everyone showed up¡­


    When Chen Cang heard this, he was speechless.


    Xia Gaofeng also felt somewhat embarrassed, ¡°Ah¡­


    I was really helpless, the other department heads were begging, saying when Meng Xi teaches Chen Cang, they wanted the contestants of tomorrow¡¯s competition to have more interaction¡­¡±


    ¡°And just like that, they all came!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, explaining to one person is the same as explaining to all.


    Moreover, this kind of video discussion meeting was definitely not just one person speaking.


    A single stick may smoke but it will not burn.


    Together, everyone¡¯s discussion would bring up more issues.


    It wasn¡¯t necessarily a bad thing.


    Chen Cang glanced into the office, saw a bunch of ¡°lick-dogs¡± fawning over Teacher Meng, and couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit heartbroken.


    Oh¡­


    You guys, if you want to be with Teacher Meng, only a cross-dressing big shot would stand a chance.


    However, seeing Teacher Meng looking quite happy, Chen Cang suddenly wondered if Meng Xi had leaked the news on purpose?


    Chen Cang sighed helplessly.


    The following time was everyone¡¯s.


    They began to furiously discuss the surgical videos, one after another.


    Everyone focused on the seven or eight representative videos, launching into intense discussions.


    Discussing the highest-scoring surgeries from the details to the whole, from planning to surgical operations, nothing was off-limits.


    Teacher Meng¡¯s uninhibited attitude opened everyone¡¯s hearts.


    Sharing their surgical insights without reservation.


    Everyone was an experienced attending physician with years of practice under their belt; who didn¡¯t have their own secret techniques?


    Now it was a matter of who was more talented and who could learn more.


    The discussion went on from 7:30 PM to past midnight.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Xiao Qin lay in bed, restless, as today she finally learned who Teacher Meng was!


    For this reason, Xiao Qin became increasingly worried.


    A man and woman alone together!


    Watching videos together¡­


    And Teacher Meng was so pretty, too, but so fierce.


    With this thought, Qin Yue lifted the covers and checked herself.


    Although not as fierce, still cute though!


    With this thought, Qin Yue became so restless she couldn¡¯t sleep.


    Suddenly, Qin Yue opened the WeChat video call!


    She wanted to see if there was anything odd about Chen Cang!


    When Chen Cang saw Qin Yue¡¯s video invitation, he was taken aback for a moment.


    Xiao Qin has also learned to check-in?


    Quick progress, huh?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    However, Chen Cang naturally didn¡¯t worry a bit and answered the video call directly.


    You see, out of the thirteen or fourteen people present, except for Teacher Meng, who is female, everyone else is male.


    What does Chen Cang have to feel guilty about?


    After the video connected, Qin Yue, tucked in bed, suddenly froze.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Teacher Meng that we agreed upon?


    Why is it all just one guy?¡±


    Chen Cang stepped out and declared righteously, ¡°Of course, a discussion video is naturally a group of people discussing together.


    What did you think it was?¡±


    ¡°Alright then, Qin Yue, you actually doubted me¡­¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s face reddened, ¡°Nonsense, I was worried about you.


    I saw it was so late and you hadn¡¯t come back yet, I was concerned for you.


    Go on with your business, bye bye!¡±


    Having said that, she turned off the video and dove back into her bed covers.


    Chen Cang smiled with satisfaction.


    The discussion that evening was very fruitful, and basically everyone made some improvements.


    Just as everyone was leaving, Chen Cang¡¯s system alert suddenly rang out!


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, your unnamed artery repair technique has been elevated to perfection!]


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!


    So this is what they call opportunity, huh?


    Unexpectedly, such a discussion had elevated Chen Cang¡¯s unnamed artery repair technique to perfection!


    Fantastic!


    Upon closer inspection, he noticed the experience bars of several other operations had also surged, and even though they were still far from perfection, they were nonetheless useful.


    Chen Cang saw everyone leaving except for Meng Xi, who still hadn¡¯t emerged, and he paused.


    Walking over, he found Meng Xi forcibly closing her eyes and covering her ears with her hands.


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Teacher Meng, is it too noisy for you?¡±


    ¡°My ears are buzzing too!¡±


    Indeed, everyone had been quite excited just a moment ago, and the sudden silence made their ears buzz.


    Meng Xi shook her head and swayed her brain, ignoring Chen Cang.


    After half a minute, she finally slowly said, ¡°No, it¡¯s that I feel like there¡¯s too much stuff in my head.


    I¡¯m blocking my ears to keep it from spilling out¡­¡±


    Her words left Chen Cang dumbfounded.


    Chen Cang skeptically asked, ¡°Then your shaking and swaying just now¡­


    was that to blend the knowledge together for more thorough absorption?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi immediately laughed and said, ¡°How clever!¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, although I¡¯m just an undergraduate, you shouldn¡¯t pick on me¡­


    you haven¡¯t seriously studied neurology, have you?


    ¡°Teacher Meng, aren¡¯t you being a bit superstitious?


    And to think you¡¯re a Ph.D.


    from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden!¡±


    Meng Xi scoffed, ¡°What do I know, and what do you know?¡±


    Chen Cang found himself at a loss for words, speechless¡­


    You¡¯re highly educated, so you¡¯re amazing!


    Meng Xi then stood up, staggering out of the office.


    Watching Meng Xi¡¯s gait, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Teacher Meng, is this¡­


    swaying the knowledge to absorb it into every cell?¡±


    Meng Xi shook her head.


    Chen Cang further guessed, ¡°Then is it¡­


    having too much knowledge, you¡¯re drunk?


    Huh!


    Drunk on surgery?


    Right?¡±


    Meng Xi turned around, looked at Chen Cang, and sighed, ¡°Little Chen, as a medical student, can you not ask such childish questions, please?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been standing for so long, my legs are numb¡­


    emmmm, and I have a bit of a sore back too!¡±


    After saying that, she gave Chen Cang a disappointed look and stood up to leave!


    Chen Cang instantly felt like crying without tears; how come you get to make all the points?


    You¡¯re formidable, so you are right, huh?


    At this moment, Xia Gaofeng came from behind and said, ¡°Hey¡­


    Xiao Chen, why bother reasoning with a woman?¡±


    Looking at Teacher Xia¡¯s face full of world-weariness, Chen Cang suddenly felt that he must have many stories¡­


    ¡­

 Chapter 595 - Chapter 595 Chapter 595 Envy This Genuine Leather Seat!

    ?Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Envy This Genuine Leather Seat!


    (Continue to add more!) Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Envy This Genuine Leather Seat!


    (Continue to add more!) The competition the next day arrived as scheduled, and that day, everyone was full of confidence!


    Chen Cang and Meng Xi walked over together, with Teacher Meng driving a big G today, but Ge Huai insisted on joining the fun and came along, although Chen Cang sat in the passenger seat while Doctor Ge sat in the back.


    Chen Cang looked at the big G with envy!


    And Doctor Ge, looking at Teacher Meng¡¯s leather seat in the driver¡¯s position, was also full of envy.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but mock Ge Huai in his heart, you unambitious guy, a big G has four or five leather pads.


    In his heart, Ge Huai despised Chen Cang, am I envious of that leather pad?


    I¡¯m envious of the one who has been with Teacher Meng¡­


    ah¡­


    you virgin don¡¯t know shit!


    The big G was obviously modified, and the interior of the car was very luxurious.


    Chen Cang felt that after the competition was over, he needed to get a car as soon as possible, to spice up his married life, take Little Lick Student for a ride, and go on outings.


    When Chen Cang and Meng Xi arrived, they just saw Guo Yunfei.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?0


    Chen Cang took the initiative to greet him, and Guo Yunfei nodded politely with his refined demeanor.


    The group walked in together.


    Guo Yunfei had studied Chen Cang¡¯s ascending aorta repair surgery all night last night.


    He swore, there definitely were traces of his own suturing technique in Chen Cang¡¯s sutures, and for this, he had specially consulted with Director Qin Yueming.


    And the dean¡¯s conclusion was even more shocking to him!


    ¡°This little Chen has obviously learned from the foreigners to excel over them.


    After learning your technique, he improved it and turned it into his own.¡±


    ¡°You should take a close look at this surgery and learn from the other party¡¯s strengths!¡±


    That remark made Guo Yunfei somewhat emotional.


    Less than 20 minutes of interaction, less than 5 minutes of surgery, although he mentioned it deliberately a couple of times, but¡­


    just based on this?


    Chen Cang actually managed to learn?


    At this thought, Guo Yunfei was quite shocked!


    Doctor Chen was too impressive.


    As for Meng Xi?


    Guo Yunfei really didn¡¯t rate her.


    Apart from being prettier, having a bigger stature, a better figure, now also being wealthier and having a nicer personality, prettier eyes, sexier lips¡­


    well, besides all that, there wasn¡¯t much!


    Where could she compare to his own wife!


    With that thought, afraid that his body would betray too much honesty, Guo Yunfei hurriedly walked inside.


    To be honest, Guo Yunfei was not good at dealing with women, especially beautiful women.


    His mentor had told him that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.


    He found this advice very useful!


    After everyone entered, Chen Cang and Meng Xi were obviously very popular today.


    Greetings came one after another.


    Yesterday¡¯s exchange made everyone familiar with each other, and most importantly, very rewarding.


    Soon, the host came on stage and said, ¡°First of all, congratulations to all the contestants for making it this far, which means that everyone¡¯s strength has been recognized.¡±


    ¡°Now, there are only five contestants in each group, so during the draw, there will be a bye, and the one who gets the bye can advance directly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment!


    And at this time, Meng Xi was a bit excited, staring intently at the lottery box.


    She turned to Chen Cang with this expression, ¡°What, you don¡¯t want a bye?¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned, and said with righteousness, ¡°Competition is based on strength, Teacher Meng, how can you have such short-cut ideas?¡±


    Meng Xi gave Chen Cang a dismissive glance, mouthing something at him without making a sound, but Chen Cang swore, he was good at reading lips, and it must have been calling him an idiot!


    Helplessly, Chen Cang picked up his phone and searched on Baidu:


    ¡°What¡¯s it like to have a moronic mentor!¡±


    Looking at the bloody comments below, Chen Cang suddenly felt he had done his righteous duty, Teacher Meng, you are really fortunate to have a student like me.


    However, when Chen Cang saw the level of stupidity of other mentors, he suddenly realized he was quite lucky!


    At least Teacher Meng didn¡¯t make him go to her house to do laundry or cook or give her a bath and scrub her back, and he didn¡¯t have to take care of her daily life!


    Even if Chen Cang wanted to, she definitely wouldn¡¯t let him!


    Thinking about it, Teacher Meng might be silly, but at least she had some professional ethics.


    But honestly, Chen Cang really didn¡¯t want a bye; after all, every bye was a major loss for him.


    PK had loot drops, but a bye definitely didn¡¯t.


    At this time, the drawing began!


    C3-1 (Descending Aorta Repair Surgery)


    Chen Cang was elated, having not been given a bye, he would still be performing the active damage repair surgery.


    After arriving at the waiting area, Chen Cang looked up and was surprised to see an acquaintance, the deputy chief of cardiothoracic surgery at Dongyang Hospital, a 35-year-old doctor with a PhD, Dr.


    Xu.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, Dr.


    Xu smiled slightly, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, I¡¯m very much looking forward to our contest!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and smiled in return, ¡°So am I!¡±


    In fact, Dr.


    Xu was quite happy inside because the competition was over active aortic damage repair rather than aortic arch damage repair.


    Dr.


    Xu felt hopeful since inclined aortic repair was his strength; he had scored 92 points last year and this year could only be higher, while Chen Cang¡¯s data from yesterday¡¯s competition was 91 points.


    Although last night¡¯s discussion had offered some insights,


    without surgical training, he was inevitably somewhat hampered and lacked practical exercise, making it rather difficult to improve.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s group of friends and relatives had grown even larger, with those he had eliminated coming to watch the contest.


    However, their discussion was not about Chen Cang but about how much meat to order at Haidilao tonight, and whether Chen Cang would foot the bill for drinks!


    As for the outcome of the competition?


    Director Tao had already said, ¡°Chen Cang is hiding his true abilities, what¡¯s there to worry about?¡±


    Ning Haosen looked up and was momentarily stunned by the results of the draw displayed on the big screen.


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen might be in danger!¡±


    Everyone was startled and looked up.


    Seeing that Chen Cang¡¯s opponent was Dr.


    Xu, they were taken aback!


    The key event was the active aortic damage repair surgery.


    After all, Chen Cang¡¯s result from yesterday was only 91 points.


    And it was the opponent¡¯s strong suit.


    Cui Yuanwu appeared unconcerned and said, ¡°Ahh, what are you worried about?


    Director Tao said that Chen Cang was holding back yesterday!


    He was reserving his strength!¡±


    When a doctor from the Municipal People¡¯s Hospital heard this, he exclaimed with emotion, ¡°Dr.


    Chen is such a good person!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Tao Zi felt a bit panicked inside!


    What if¡­


    he truly got eliminated?


    Would he end up being ridiculed?


    He had said Chen Cang had reserves, and was saving his strength¡­


    but was it really just bluffing?


    He had no idea if Chen Cang was indeed holding back!


    Suddenly, Tao Zi felt somewhat uneasy.


    Yet the people around him were all calmly acting as if Chen Cang was sure to win, because they believed that Chen Cang must have held back yesterday.


    That was until Meng Xi walked over.


    Xia Gaofeng quickly asked, ¡°Director Meng?


    What brings you here?¡±


    Meng Xi smiled, ¡°I got a bye.¡±


    But when Meng Xi looked up at Chen Cang¡¯s event and competitor, she couldn¡¯t help but pause for a moment.


    ¡°Little Chen might be in danger.


    During our discussion last night, I could clearly feel that Dr.


    Xu¡¯s understanding of descending aortic repair surgery was above that of Chen Cang!¡±


    ¡°Little Chen¡­


    won¡¯t get eliminated, right?¡±


    Her comment stunned everyone!


    After all, Meng Xi was the person who knew Chen Cang best.


    If she said so, everyone was even more dumbstruck, and they all turned to stare at Tao Zi.


    Seeing their reaction, Tao Zi simply closed his eyes, pretending to be calm and unaffected, as if he saw nothing¡­

    ?Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Very well done!


    Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Very well done!


    Teacher Meng¡¯s words directly dumbfounded the ¡°Chen Cang Support Group¡±!


    Director Tao closed his eyes to rest, not uttering a word, while Xia Gaofeng had a face that said I don¡¯t know, ask him.


    And Cui Yuanwu, looking at Meng Xi, said, ¡°Director Meng, there¡¯s no need to deceive us.


    Director Tao has told us everything, Chen Cang is conserving his strength to burst out at the crucial moment, right?¡±


    At that, Cui Yuanwu lowered his voice and said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we are tight-lipped!¡±


    Upon seeing this, Meng Xi rolled her eyes!


    How could this group be so blindly confident in Chen Cang!


    Meng Xi had just turned around when she saw Cui Yuanwu and Teacher Yang Jianshu had already started taking bets.


    Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    As soon as Chen Cang entered, the two examiners were momentarily stunned, for they had seen Chen Cang yesterday!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã?


    Yesterday, Chen Cang had performed a procedure for ascending aortic injury that kept the two examiners debating all night, unable to sleep, and now they had encountered Chen Cang again today!


    The examiners were both surprised and delighted!


    Even¡­


    there was a little bit of anticipation in their hearts.


    However, under the surveillance cameras, they couldn¡¯t show their excitement too openly.


    The chief examiner Sun Gaoxing looked at Chen Cang, feeling somewhat joyful inside, yet still spoke indifferently, ¡°Candidate please note, at this moment, another surgery is taking place in the emergency surgery room, and there are not enough centrifugal pumps available.


    Please begin your procedure with the instruments at hand!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately nodded.


    ¡°Is the candidate ready?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°Ready!¡±


    ¡°Begin now!¡±


    As soon as the words fell, the sound of the heart monitor already began to beep, with blood continuously flowing out from the descending aorta!


    Upon seeing the wound, Chen Cang was immediately shocked!


    This¡­


    this wound is completely different from what he encountered yesterday¡­


    The difficulty of surgery has already increased significantly.


    Although both are procedures for repairing the descending aorta, the damaged location and the size of the wound are different, and the methods needed for repair are not the same.


    Today¡¯s surgery was clearly no longer simply vascular repair and stitching a€¡° the difficulty had soared!


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were fixed on the bleeding point of the wound; he didn¡¯t hastily stop the bleeding nor did he directly use a hemostat!


    In his mind, he continuously thought through all the surgical methods!


    The tear in the wound was large, with multiple areas of damage.


    The direct blood flow obstruction suturing method was only suitable for small tears in emergency situations, allowing for direct repair but with strict time control!


    Similarly, clamping the aorta to suture the tear also had this requirement, as the aorta¡¯s tolerance for occlusion was very limited!


    Chen Cang¡¯s stitching speed was very fast, but this was not necessarily the most optimized choice.


    Sometimes, the method you choose must have a margin for error a€¡° that is the best choice for surgery!


    It¡¯s not that such risky rapid suturing is bad, only that when no other surgical methods are available, it becomes the only choice.


    Keep in mind, doctors are human and there is a chance of error; they are not machines, and human randomness can be significant.


    After a few seconds of consideration, Chen Cang instantly made a decision!


    In this state, choosing to apply a centrifugal pump for partial diversion was now the best choice!


    There was no need for heparinization, only the necessity to divert the blood from the left atrium or the left superior pulmonary vein to the far end of the torn descending aorta according to the patient¡¯s condition.


    Regrettably, there were no centrifugal pumps available on-site for Chen Cang to use!


    This was a test of a doctor¡¯s ability to improvise!


    After a brief thought, Chen Cang turned around without hesitation and said to the nurse:


    ¡°Hemostat!¡±


    The nurse immediately handed it over.


    Sun Gaoxing watched Chen Cang¡¯s operation, frowning slightly.


    What exactly was Chen Cang going to do?


    ¡°`


    The deputy examiner Hou Liang also fell deep into thought.


    Should he challenge his own limits by leveraging his advantage in quick suturing and choose to suture rapidly while clamping the blood vessel with a hemostat?


    In doing so, even if successful, the two examiners might not give the highest score because, in terms of surgical option, Chen Cang did not apply the optimization principle in his approach.


    After achieving hemostasis, Chen Cang said to the nurse, ¡°Prepare the shunt for heparinization!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the two examiners finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in approval.


    He wasn¡¯t taking any risks!


    He chose the Gott shunt method!


    When the surgery began, Chen Cang promptly cut open the pericardium in front of the left phrenic nerve, exposing the ascending aorta from within!


    He meticulously separated the ascending aorta from the arch-descending part, isolating and clamping the distant and proximal ends of the thoracic aorta and the proximal end of the left subclavian artery.


    Although the anatomy of the simulation mannequin is not very similar to that of a human, Chen Cang still pretended as if there were nerves, carefully avoiding them¡­


    Well, although it¡¯s a simulation mannequin, one must still pretend it¡¯s much like a real person.


    Chen Cang felt like he was indeed ¡°Chen the Great Actor¡± at the moment!


    Chen Cang inserted the proximal end of the plastic tube into the ascending aorta and the distal end into the distal descending aorta, then sewed two layers of purse string suture lines with 3-0 atraumatic thread, carefully tightening them!


    After expelling air from the tubing, he opened the flow through the shunt!


    ?0¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    This way, the injury site was perfectly isolated, and naturally, there was ample time to repair the descending aorta!


    But!


    The Gott shunt method has one fairly fatal flaw!


    That is the inability to control the shunt flow.


    What does that mean?


    Once the shunt is opened and there is sufficient blood flow through the tubing, it not only hinders the progress of the surgery but can even cause coagulation!


    Even if the shunt flow is too fast, it can have some effects.


    Chen Cang¡¯s previous maneuvers were precise, resembling textbook Gott shunt surgery.


    However, the chief examiners Sun Gaoxing and Hou Liang watched Chen Cang with great interest, because what lay ahead for Chen Cang was not merely a challenging surgery!


    There could be complications!


    That¡¯s right!


    Did you think that simulations couldn¡¯t produce complications?


    These are all programmed, you know¡­


    After all, complications can happen during surgeries on human bodies, and this kind of high-cost simulation mannequin can simulate them happening.


    Indeed!


    Just as Chen Cang was about to perform the suturing, the surgery immediately encountered a complication: the patient¡¯s blood pressure was already very low, causing issues with the shunt flow!


    Even¡­


    causing backflow!


    Sun Gaoxing looked on with interest to see how Chen Cang would handle it.


    But¡­


    All of a sudden, Chen Cang remained unflustered and gently adjusted the angle of the shunt tube, and a check valve appeared!


    The two examiners were dumbfounded!


    When did this guy install a check valve inside the shunt tube!


    Could it be that he had anticipated it?


    Sun Gaoxing keenly realized that Chen Cang hadn¡¯t merely guessed, but had designed it based on the patient¡¯s blood pressure situation.


    This was the fundamental professional competence that a great surgeon should have.


    It was a high level of mastery and control of the surgery!


    One should always be prepared for any eventuality.


    However, at this moment, Chen Cang said to the nurse, ¡°Give me two silk sutures!¡±


    Sun Gaoxing and Hou Liang exchanged glances.


    What did he need silk sutures for?


    ¡°`

 Chapter 597 - Chapter 597 Chapter 597 A down-to-earth name!

    ?Chapter 597: Chapter 597: A down-to-earth name!


    Chapter 597: Chapter 597: A down-to-earth name!


    Actually!


    Chen Cang had, from the very beginning, managed to score full marks on this exam point by placing a one-way valve in the shunt based on the patient¡¯s physical signs and conditions!


    And with the subsequent suturing and repair work, as long as Chen Cang avoided any mishaps, he was basically assured of receiving a very good score for this surgery.


    But¡­


    At this moment, Chen Cang requested two lengths of thread.


    What was he going to do?


    Just then, everyone saw Chen Cang thread the strings through the ascending aorta, one looped around the shunt, and then he carefully tightened it!


    With the other piece of thread, he tied one end to the distant end of the descending aorta, then similarly secured the other end to the shunt, pulling it close once again!


    At that moment, the whole Gott shunt appeared to be at a strange angle.


    This wasn¡¯t what was important; what mattered was that the blood flow suddenly became very smooth!


    Sun Gaoxing immediately widened his eyes in astonishment!


    Holy shit¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã?


    Was this¡­


    was this an adjustment to the flow rate?


    This was simply a genius idea and innovation!


    How did he accomplish this?


    No, wait!


    How did he even think of this?


    Both Sun Gaoxing and Hou Liang were somewhat excited, barely able to conceal the joy on their faces, their excitement blatantly obvious!


    They were thrilled!


    Who would have thought that by coming to Dongyang to invigilate an exam, they would witness such a surgical procedure.


    At this thought, Sun Gaoxing grew even more excited.


    As the director of the Cardiac Surgery Department at the capital¡¯s Anzhen Hospital, Sun Gaoxing had encountered many geniuses on his travels.


    Even so, he felt nothing could surprise him anymore when it came to geniuses!


    But this time!


    Chen Cang had once again shattered Sun Gaoxing¡¯s perception of a genius.


    Many people had attempted to address the flaw in the Gott Shunt Procedure of being unable to control the flow rate.


    For instance, the idea of a one-way valve was itself a thoughtful and historic innovation that addressed a major flaw in the Gott Shunt Procedure.


    But regarding the inability to control the flow rate, the limitations of a one-way valve were significant.


    Experts and professors from various hospitals had given it a try, and it had been discussed in major journals and forums.


    There were plenty of gimmicks out there.


    Sun Gaoxing had also tried and studied them, but this method using just two simple threads was something he was seeing for the first time.


    Moreover, he could tell at first glance that this method was very effective!


    Though he hadn¡¯t personally tried it yet, Sun Gaoxing knew it had to be a highly useful technique.


    He was very fond of it!


    Because you must understand that thoracic aortic surgery cannot always ensure that it would be performed in an operating room, nor can it guarantee that all kinds of equipment would be readily available!


    With this in mind, using just two threads plus a shunt could complete an efficient Gott Shunt Procedure, perfectly repairing the aorta.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã0


    If this wasn¡¯t innovation, what was?


    At this thought, Sun Gaoxing was overjoyed!


    However, the scene that followed told Sun Gaoxing he had celebrated too soon.


    The patient was receiving a transfusion at the time, so his blood pressure was steadily rising.


    As a result, there was a need to control the shunt flow again.


    At this time, Chen Cang simply adjusted the threads again and managed to accomplish the purpose of controlling the flow rate once more.


    It was just too ingenious¡­


    At first, Sun Gaoxing thought Chen Cang¡¯s use of thread to control was fixed, but then¡­


    could this knot be adjustable?


    And by controlling the length of the thread, changing the shape of the shunt, it was possible to control the flow rate!


    Genius!


    Absolute genius!


    Sun Gaoxing would dare to pound the table and tell Chen Cang, if you¡¯re not a genius, today I¡¯ll eat Hou Liang!


    Hou Liang was now somewhat bewildered.


    That¡¯s right!


    After witnessing Chen Cang¡¯s series of peculiar and clever moves, he was somewhat dumbstruck and speechless!


    Even if Sun Gaoxing literally ate him now, he figured he¡¯d be indifferent.


    Because nothing was more captivating than the surgery Chen Cang was performing at this moment!


    Hou Liang swore that he could watch this surgery a hundred times over!


    The surgery slowly came to a close.


    After Chen Cang had cleaned everything up, including cutting the strings,


    he turned to the two and said, ¡°Thank you to the two examiners!¡±


    With that, Chen Cang was ready to leave!


    Only to see Sun Gaoxing hastily calling out to Chen Cang, ¡°Wait a minute!¡±


    Chen Cang turned around, curious, ¡°Teacher, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Sun Gaoxing said embarrassingly, ¡°Did you just use strings to control the diversion flow?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s confirmation, Sun Gaoxing couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Where did you learn this?¡±


    Chen Cang laughed awkwardly, ¡°I figured it out myself.¡±


    Indeed, once a surgery reached perfection, a lot was improvised, making different choices based on different presentations.


    That is the true meaning of perfection!


    Of course, perfection is also an illusory concept, because¡­


    perfection is constantly evolving.


    After hearing this, Sun Gaoxing and Hou Liang exchanged glances, heaving a sigh, a sentence appeared in their eyes: many years, in dog?


    At 27, he already improved the Gott shunting technique¡¯s minor procedures, what have they themselves done?


    Sun Gaoxing directly evaluated, ¡°Very good, very impressive!


    This method is very research-worthy!¡±


    Chen Cang, having received Sun Gaoxing¡¯s affirmation, naturally smiled happily, ¡°Thank you for the praise, teacher.¡±


    Sun Gaoxing continued to ask, ¡°Does this¡­


    technique have a name?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback; it had just been born ten minutes ago and didn¡¯t have a name yet, but since he was asked, he might as well make one up!


    ¡°How about¡­


    the Two-String Method?¡±


    Once he said that, Sun Gaoxing and Hou Liang immediately showed embarrassed faces!


    Wasn¡¯t this surgical method a bit too down to earth?


    Where did it match such a fine technique?


    Seeing their reaction, Chen Cang, at a loss for names, wondered what to do¡­


    ¡°How about¡­


    Two-Strings-One-Tube Technique?¡±


    Sun Gaoxing was even more speechless, ¡°That¡¯s enough, think of something after you go out!¡±


    He really didn¡¯t want Chen Cang to spoil this fine technique!


    After Chen Cang left.


    A gleeful look appeared on Sun Gaoxing¡¯s face, and his mind replayed his theme song: Oh, how happy we ordinary folk are today!


    That¡¯s right!


    To witness such a surgery, not to mention two days, even two months would be worth it to him!


    Too happy!


    Hou Liang looked at Sun Gaoxing, ¡°Director Sun, what do you think¡­


    How many points should be appropriate?¡±


    Sun Gaoxing slammed the table and made a decision, ¡°100 points!


    Is there even a need to think about it?


    A perfect surgery, plus an innovative technique, I¡¯d feel guilty not giving 100 points!¡±


    Hou Liang nodded, ¡°You mean¡­


    you give 100 points?


    I give 96?


    Then average 98 points?


    One point less for pride, one point less for¡­¡±


    Sun Gaoxing was taken aback and rolled his eyes, ¡°No!


    For this surgery, I think we must give 100 points!


    The final score, 100 points!¡±


    Hou Liang sighed, ¡°I want to give 100 points too, but¡­


    if both of us give 100 points, we¡¯ll have to report it to the National Cardiothoracic Surgery Committee.¡±


    Sun Gaoxing furrowed his brow, ¡°Not afraid!


    Besides, just tell me whether it¡¯s worth 100 points or not!¡±


    Hou Liang nodded, ¡°It¡¯s worth it!¡±


    ¡°Then 100 points it is!¡±

 Chapter 598 - Chapter 598 Chapter 598 Hot Pot Dinner!

    ?Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Hot Pot Dinner!


    Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Hot Pot Dinner!


    Upon hearing Sun Gaoxing¡¯s words, Hou Liang suddenly realized, right¡­


    this person is the chief examiner, why am I panicking?


    If there¡¯s a problem, just let the chief examiner take the blame!


    And, this jerk is also the vice-chairman!


    With this thought, Hou Liang even wanted to score a 101 just to see if Vice-Chairman Sun could handle it.


    Sun Gaoxing was truly happy!


    He glanced at the staff, this surgical video must be properly preserved, and once he¡¯s back in Beijing, it definitely needs to be studiously analyzed.


    A hundred times, oh a hundred times!


    Soon, the two of them conferred and scored a perfect 100.


    That way, everyone was happy.


    After coming out, Chen Cang kept thinking about what on earth to call it?


    ¡°The two-rope method is a bit of a bluff, but¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    ¡®Two Ropes and a Tube¡¯ sounds pretty good, right?¡±


    Chen Cang, powerless to find a name, sighed and decided to go back and study it thoroughly with his classmate Xiao Tian.


    Dr.


    Xu, seeing Chen Cang come out with a worried frown, was startled for a momenta€¡±had he not done well?


    Thinking this, Dr.


    Xu pretended to be very concerned and stood up to ask, ¡°Xiao Chen?


    What¡¯s wrong?


    Was the assessment difficult?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head and hadn¡¯t had the chance to speak when a staff member quickly said, ¡°Please, candidates should not disclose any details of the exam; maintain order in the examination hall.¡±


    Indeed, exchanging compliments and small talk is fine, but do not touch upon the competition.


    Embarrassed, Dr.


    Xu¡¯s face turned red as he said to Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, don¡¯t worry, the difficulty of the second day¡¯s competition will definitely be greater than yesterday¡¯s.


    And, as long as you keep a good mindset¡­


    ¡±


    Yes!


    Although Dr.


    Xu put on a worried face, he wasn¡¯t bad-hearted and comforted Chen Cang for a long time.


    At that moment, the staff came out to notify him to get ready.


    Chen Cang, hearing Dr.


    Xu¡¯s concern, wanted to tell him several times that he had actually done very well, not wanting Dr.


    Xu to worry so much¡­


    But every time, he was interrupted by the other person!


    Watching Dr.


    Xu enter the room, Chen Cang sighed, Ah¡­


    what a good person!


    ¡°Dr.


    Xu!¡±


    As Dr.


    Xu walked forward, he suddenly paused, ¡°What is it, Xiao Chen?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to hotpot tonight!¡±


    Dr.


    Xu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly, ¡°All right!


    I¡¯ll do my best!¡±


    After Dr.


    Xu entered, Sun Gaoxing was slightly startled because he had also been an examiner for this young man yesterday, a very outstanding young doctor.


    Very imposing!


    But Sun Gaoxing sighed regretfully because no matter what, you wouldn¡¯t be able to advance!


    With Chen Cang scoring 100 points before you, how can you surpass him?


    With this in mind, Sun Gaoxing looked at Dr.


    Xu with pity a few more times.


    In Dr.


    Xu¡¯s eyes, everything seemed like this: the examiner hadn¡¯t yet gotten over his disappointment with Chen Cang, but upon seeing himself, he appeared a bit expectant.


    After bowing in thanks, the surgery began!


    Sun Gaoxing¡¯s performance was as stable as ever.


    He made the same choices as Chen Cang, and even proactively installed a one-way valve while choosing the Gott shunt method to prevent backflow.


    Furthermore, he used some tricks to try to amend the drawbacks of the Gott shunt method, changing the shunt volume with somewhat decent results.


    Under any other circumstances, the entire surgery would have been quite impressive.


    It was precisely for this reason that Sun Gaoxing and Hou Liang felt pity; after all, this was a talented young person.


    What a pity, for if there is Chen Cang, why need Dr.


    Xu!


    Dr.


    Xu nodded in thanks.


    Sun Gaoxing thought he should encourage the young man, so he took the initiative to say, ¡°Well, you performed very well!


    Keep up the hard work when you go back!¡±


    Hou Liang also nodded, ¡°Right, don¡¯t give up on making progress once you¡¯re back!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Dr.


    Xu was thrilled.


    He quickly responded with a smile, ¡°Thank you, all the teachers.¡±


    Yet, when he walked out the door, Dr.


    Xu frowned slightly, feeling something was off.


    Why did they tell him not to give up on making progress and to keep working hard when he returned?


    It feels strange¡­


    It doesn¡¯t make sense¡­


    After coming out, Dr.


    Xu was still very happy and smiled at Chen Cang.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have hotpot tonight, I¡¯ll treat.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and quickly shook his head, ¡°No need, no need, I¡¯ll treat.


    I also brought a few friends, let¡¯s go together.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Dr.


    Xu immediately laughed, ¡°Oh?


    The more the merrier!


    Who else is coming?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, ¡°Dr.


    Cui Yuanwu from Dongda Second Hospital, Dr.


    Ning Haosen from the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital, Dr.


    Zhang from the Municipal People¡¯s Hospital, and you.


    Maybe two more will join later, but I¡¯m not sure who yet.¡±


    After hearing this, Dr.


    Xu smiled and said, ¡°Oh?


    All from our Group C, eh?


    Chen, you¡¯re quite popular.¡±


    Chen Cang scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say.


    He certainly couldn¡¯t say these were all people he had eliminated, could he?


    It would sound terrible if he did¡­


    While they were chatting, the competition results came out.


    Dr.


    Xu glanced at the scores and couldn¡¯t help but laugh, even showing a bit of surprise!


    ¡°95 points!¡±


    This might have been his highest score ever.


    Actually, this score had a consolation prize element to it!


    Sun Gaoxing thought the kid had already been eliminated, so he added a point or two to make him happy; after all, Chen Cang scored 100 points already.


    They couldn¡¯t crush the child¡¯s confidence and enthusiasm.


    So, after some consideration, they gave 95 points!


    Dr.


    Xu looked at Chen Cang and asked with a smile, ¡°Chen, how many points did you get?¡±


    Chen Cang, looking at his score, widened his eyes in disbelief and was at a loss for a long time.


    Seeing his reaction, Dr.


    Xu sighed; he knew Chen Cang must have performed unexpectedly, and was already preparing his emotions, ready to console Chen Cang by telling him it¡¯s normal for scores to vary!


    Moreover, victory and defeat are common in military operations, so one mustn¡¯t dwell too much on the results or focus too much on the scores.


    He would have many more opportunities in the future!


    When Dr.


    Xu had his words of comfort ready, just about to speak them out.


    Suddenly, at that moment, Chen Cang handed over his phone, ¡°Dr.


    Xu, is there something wrong with my score?¡±


    Dr.


    Xu smiled reassuringly, ¡°Chen, you might not know this, but our chief examiner is the head of cardiothoracic surgery at Anzhen Hospital.


    His grading is almost always without¡­¡±


    In the midst of speaking, Dr.


    ?¦Ï??0.§ã¦Ï


    Xu glanced and suddenly saw Chen Cang¡¯s score!


    Instantly, Dr.


    Xu was stunned, the comforting words he was about to say swallowed back in an instant!


    Holy crap!


    100 points?


    Are you kidding me?


    Has there ever been a 100-point score?


    I don¡¯t think so!


    Dr.


    Xu had participated in many competitions, even a national one, but¡­


    this¡­


    seeing 100 points was a first for him.


    Could I be seeing things wrong?


    He rubbed his eyes, but it was still 100 points.


    At that moment, Dr.


    Xu froze.


    How could this be possible?


    100 points.


    How outstanding must one be?


    To make an examiner award a perfect score of 100 points!


    Could it be that the chief examiners had a brain cramp and made a mistake with the score!?


    It must be senile dementia!


    Yes, Alzheimer¡¯s!

 Chapter 599 - Chapter 599 Chapter 599 Insincere Director Tao!

    ?Chapter 599: Chapter 599: Insincere Director Tao!


    (Added chapters for Alliance Hierarchs Huowu and Lianxin!) Chapter 599: Chapter 599: Insincere Director Tao!


    (Added chapters for Alliance Hierarchs Huowu and Lianxin!) Right!


    Could it be that the chief examiner had a nervous breakdown and gave the wrong score?


    Thinking this, Dr.


    Xu found it very possible!


    ??¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    But¡­


    the chief examiner is none other than Director Sun Gaoxing, a big shot at the Capital Anzhen Hospital, and the vice chairman of the National Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery.


    Scores given by such people carry a lot of authority.


    Dr.


    Xu, looking at Chen Cang¡¯s shocked face, suddenly understood why.


    It wasn¡¯t because the score was too low.


    It was because the score was too high¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    This caused Dr.


    Xu to swallow back all the comforting words he had prepared, after all¡­


    he was the one who needed consolation the most at this moment.


    The one who needed consolation the most was his, Xu¡¯s, own fragile soul on the verge of collapse¡­


    Feeling helpless, Dr.


    Xu looked at Chen Cang and sighed, ¡°Little Chen, you really are full of surprises!¡±


    Chen Cang was somewhat at a loss, ¡°This¡­


    Dr.


    Xu, actually, a score of 95 is still okay.


    I¡¯ve done a similar surgery today, so¡­


    I was able to handle it quickly and well, don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±


    ¡°Just as you said, victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and exams can be unpredictable¡­¡±


    Seeing Dr.


    Xu gradually closing off, Chen Cang felt helpless, but he was also not very good at comforting people.


    Being a natural straight man, he could only use the very words Dr.


    Xu had used to console himself, repeating them back to him unchanged, what with having such a good memory.


    However, these words were particularly grating in Dr.


    Xu¡¯s ears.


    Dr.


    Xu, feeling like he wanted to cry but having no tears, originally thought he could enter the national competition again this year, but it seems there¡¯s no chance now.


    With this thought, Dr.


    Xu heaved a deep sigh and said, ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s have hot pot tonight.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, then hurriedly nodded, ¡°Right, right, hot pot tonight!


    My treat.¡±


    At this moment, Dr.


    Xu thought of the people he would be having hot pot with tonight: Cui Yuanwu, Ning Haosen, Dr.


    Zhang, and himself!


    Suddenly, he realized they all had something in common.


    It turns out, tonight¡¯s hot pot feast was prepared for those eliminated by Chen Cang.


    No wonder the kid said there were still two people joining tonight, just not sure who¡­


    Is there even a need to ponder?


    It¡¯s definitely going to be the ones who get knocked out competing against Chen Cang!


    At this moment, Dr.


    Xu understood, it turns out¡­


    Chen Cang was set on a firm belief in victory.


    This young man, he¡¯s too frightening.


    And the key is¡­


    to play it safe!


    Too safe!


    You scored only 91 points on the aortic dissection repair yesterday, and today you directly got a perfect 100!


    Aren¡¯t you being a bit too steady?


    Am I worth such a lavish bet on your part?


    With these thoughts, Dr.


    Xu suddenly saw the light.


    Right¡­


    it just goes to show that Chen Cang takes me very seriously and must give his all.


    At this thought, Dr.


    Xu suddenly wasn¡¯t upset!


    Does it mean¡­


    I am an opponent that Chen Cang has to go all out to defeat?


    I¡¯m on par with Chen Cang?


    Back in the day, Chen Cang had to give it his all, exhausting every bit of his strength to beat me¡­


    Dr.


    Xu thought a lot, thinking that decades from now, if Chen Cang became a world-class cardiothoracic surgeon, he could tell the doctors in his department.


    Back then, ah, I was on equal footing with Chen Cang!


    And besides, his achievements today are all thanks to the pressure I gave him¡­


    With this in mind, Dr.


    Xu suddenly felt that the weather was wonderful, looking forward to the evening hot pot even more, and thought he should order several more plates of tripe!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After everyone left the waiting area, they returned to their seats.


    Chen Cang¡¯s backup team became tense as soon as they saw Chen Cang come out.


    Especially the bookie Cui Yuanwu, who hurriedly said, ¡°The bets are locked in, the bets are locked in!¡±


    Yang Jianshu and the others anxiously stared at the big screen ahead.


    Even Meng Xi, who had previously disdained the competition, had placed her hand heavily on the side betting for Chen Cang¡¯s failure.


    She had wagered three meals at Seafood Harvest, except¡­


    she bet on Chen Cang losing!


    And Cui Yuanwu and Yang Jianshu stared at Tao Zi, Xia Gaofeng, and their group with a clueless expression!


    Yang Jianshu swallowed hard, ¡°Old Tao, you wouldn¡¯t be tricking us, your master and disciple, right?


    Why is it that just the two of us are betting on Chen Cang winning?


    Everyone else is betting on him losing!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu nodded in agreement, ¡°Yeah¡­


    Director Tao, didn¡¯t you say that Chen was hiding his real strength?


    You¡­


    why don¡¯t you trust him?¡±


    Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng exchanged glances, their faces reddening, ¡°Ah¡­


    we¡­


    we were just putting some pressure on little Chen!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu was speechless, each one shouting that Chen Cang was the best in the world, but¡­


    each one of them had bet on Chen Cang losing!


    Hypocrites¡­


    Just at that moment!


    Before the results were announced, Dr.


    Xu walked towards the back.


    He naturally saw that Chen Cang¡¯s entire backup team was sitting there!


    He shook his head, knowing that was where he should be.


    When Cui Yuanwu and the others saw Dr.


    Xu come over, they were stunned for a moment, ¡°Dr.


    Xu, why are you here?¡±


    Dr.


    Xu was slightly startled, ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this Chen Cang¡¯s support group for the defeated?


    I came to join you all, didn¡¯t I?¡±


    That comment made Cui Yuanwu and his group blush!


    Cui Yuanwu argued, ¡°We are just having a small hotpot gathering tonight¡­¡±


    And Ning Haosen abruptly asked, ¡°Dr.


    Xu¡­


    are you saying you¡¯ve been eliminated?¡±


    Dr.


    Xu sighed deeply, nodding with immense disappointment, ¡°Ah¡­


    who says I haven¡¯t!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded!


    And when Cui Yuanwu and his disciple Yang Jianshu looked at Dr.


    Xu, they burst into laughter.


    Yang Jianshu excitedly said, ¡°You all¡­


    that¡¯s what you get for not trusting little Chen, we won!


    Old Tao, those two bottles of Wuliangye are mine, and Director Xia, I want a copy of your surgery video hard drive!¡±


    Cui Yuanwu laughed, ¡°Teacher Meng, three meals of hotpot, okay?


    Da Ning, that surgery knife, could you pass it to me?¡­¡±


    Tao Zi¡¯s face changed, feeling internal pain, but¡­


    he put on a magnanimous facade and laughed, ¡°Haha, I knew little Chen could make it in!¡±


    Everyone looked on with scorn!


    At this moment, the competition results were announced.


    At that moment, nobody paid attention to anyone else, they directly checked the most controversial and popular figures, Chen Cang and Dr.


    Xu¡¯s PK!


    As soon as they opened the results, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air!


    ¡°Sss!¡±


    ¡°Ssssss!¡±


    ¡°Ssssssss!¡±


    ¡­


    Everyone was flabbergasted!


    Whether it was the audience, the examiners, or the competitors, everyone looked at the 100 score, dumbfounded for a long time!


    Is it even possible to get a perfect score in this exam?


    This must be the first time in the history of Dongyang Province that a full score has appeared!


    Guo Yunfei wore a face full of wariness.


    And all the people below were buzzing with discussion.


    ¡°95 points and still eliminated!


    That¡¯s just too tragic!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang actually got 100 points!


    That¡¯s brutal!¡±


    ¡°This guy is really good at surviving, yesterday he only had 91 points with Doctor Zhang¡­¡±

    Director Tao is such a good man; knowing Chen Cang could advance, he still deliberately brought out the 10-year-old Wuliangye from his private stash.


    Old Xu, we¡¯ll have alcohol for the hotpot tonight!¡±


    Tao Zi¡¯s heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife!


    But he felt he should maintain the demeanor and style of a director!

    I actually just wanted to invite everyone for a drink to celebrate Xiao Chen¡¯s advancement, you know?¡±


    Tao Zi swore that he would also go tonight!


    He was going to drink it all back; it¡¯s just two jin of alcohol?


    I, Tao someone, can drink it!


    Xia Gaofeng glanced at Tao Zi, shivering with anger.

    There were so many rare videos inside!


    You want to invite everyone for a drink; I don¡¯t want to share my treasures with others!


    However, he still smiled and said, ¡°Right, right, right!


    We really just wanted to share the good stuff.


    Everyone can make a copy of this hard drive to watch later; so many rare surgical videos!¡±


    Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.


    Applause and cheers broke out all around!


    Yang Jianshu¡¯s smile was even lovelier than a blooming flower; he had discovered that following Cui Yuanwu meant there was always a feast, and it was indeed true.


    Meanwhile, Dr.


    Zhang from the municipal hospital finally took a deep breath, ¡°Dr.


    Chen is such a good person!


    Yesterday, he deliberately scored 91 points just to consider my feelings.


    I feel so embarrassed just thinking about it.¡±


    ¡°I just knew Dr.


    Chen was holding back.


    Now it¡¯s evident, but¡­


    I truly didn¡¯t expect Dr.


    Chen¡¯s descending aorta repair to be so excellent that it could score 100 points!


    It¡¯s incredibly impressive!¡±


    Upon hearing this, several people around instantly sighed.


    Even Tao Zi and others helplessly exchanged glances, not even sure themselves of what level Chen Cang really was¡­


    At that moment, Chen Cang walked over.


    Cui Yuanwu hurriedly said, ¡°Chen Cang!


    I¡¯ll tell you, you don¡¯t have to treat anyone tonight; the alcohol is sorted, and we¡¯ve got someone to pick up the tab!¡±


    Chen Cang was puzzled, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Cui Yuanwu then recounted what had just happened.


    After he finished, Chen Cang was dumbfounded.


    He glanced at Tao Zi with disappointment, sighed, then turned to look at Meng Teacher, who was glancing around, and suddenly felt quite let down.


    Meng Teacher, oh Meng Teacher, do you really trust me so little?


    After all, I¡¯m determined to help you secure second place!


    Meng Xi, seeing Chen Cang staring at her with ill intent, naturally felt anxious and uncomfortably smiled, ¡°Xiao Chen, your teacher certainly hopes you advance.


    But¡­


    there¡¯s always uncertainty in a competition, right?


    That¡¯s what I thought:


    If you lost, your teacher would win, and it would be perfect to invite you to several meals to cheer you up!¡±


    ¡°Look, if you won, your teacher would be happy too.


    After all, isn¡¯t it the job of a teacher to treat their students?


    It¡¯s not a big deal!


    I¡¯ll pick up the tab tonight!¡±


    Her speech was full of righteousness, leaving Chen Cang with no room to find fault.


    The others, once they heard her, immediately applauded and nodded in agreement, ¡°That¡¯s exactly what we thought!¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes.


    You guys¡­


    Simply don¡¯t trust me!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At that time, the competition contestants and support team members all around were looking at Chen Cang with varying degrees of shock.


    Could this man really be hiding his strength?


    The surgery for the descending aortic repair was just 91 points yesterday, and today it scored 100!


    No one would believe such a gap was due to a single night¡¯s study!


    Thinking this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but shake their heads.


    Clearly, he was highly skilled, merely holding back his strength.


    Ah¡­


    Dr.


    Chen, what a good person.


    Strong against the strong, gentle with the weak!


    After the first round of competition ended, there was an hour of rest before the second round, and no one was chatting with each other.


    Instead, they all opened Chen Cang¡¯s surgical videos to study without prior agreement.


    Even Guo Yunfei was no exception this time.


    If Chen Cang¡¯s 98 points from yesterday made him feel deep wariness, then today¡¯s 100 points thoroughly woke him up, filling him with fear and unease.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    Don¡¯t assume you¡¯re ¡°Invincible Dongyang¡± anymore, it¡¯s only because ¡°Linghu Cang¡± is now in Group C; otherwise, you¡¯d be the first to be eliminated!


    Recalling his teacher¡¯s words, Guo Yunfei suddenly realized he had become somewhat complacent over the years!


    Despite knowing that Chen Cang and others were discussing together last night, he stubbornly stayed in bed to secretly watch videos by himself.


    During today¡¯s competition, he saw that the scores of the others around him had improved more or less.


    The reason was obvious; everyone was learning from each other, spurring on one another¡¯s progress!


    Only he was indulging in his own achievements.


    Thinking of this, Guo Yunfei felt regret and remorse, carrying the hopes of Dongyang on his shoulders.


    How could he afford to slack off?


    So, he opened the surgical video and began to study it earnestly.


    With complete focus¡­


    At this moment, everyone around was watching the surgical videos intently with headphones on, without uttering a word, creating an extremely quiet atmosphere.


    This made it difficult for Chen Cang to find someone to chat with.


    He even thought it would be good to ask someone what this new surgical technique involving two threads was called.


    But one after another, everyone was absorbed in the surgical videos.


    With no other choice, Chen Cang had to return to his seat, open up the knowledge he acquired that morning, and taste its nuances attentively.


    [Ding!


    Defeated Dr.


    Xu and obtained: Dr.


    Xu¡¯s insight on pseudoaneurysm resection surgery.]


    Chen Cang began to study earnestly.


    However, after closing his eyes, Chen Cang found it hard to concentrate!


    Because the noise around him was continuous and distracting!


    ¡°Hiss¡­¡±


    ¡°So terrifying¡­¡±


    Such noise was too annoying.


    Actually, the person most concerned at the scene was not Chen Cang but the female host on the stage, dressed in a cheongsam.


    She felt uncomfortable as she saw people below exhaling sharply¡­


    She even suddenly felt a bit cold.


    Moving to one side, she immediately contacted the staff onsite, raising the room temperature by one degree!


    ¡­


    Time passed sluggishly.


    The voices around grew livelier from the moment Chen Cang started installing the unidirectional valve!


    And when they successively witnessed Chen Cang utilize a technique to adjust the heart bypass flow, they were stunned.


    ¡°Damn, that¡¯s possible?¡±


    ¡°Right?


    Isn¡¯t it magical?¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang is so amazing, he can do that too?¡±


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Awesome!¡±


    ¡­


    If there had been any doubt about Chen Cang¡¯s score at first, now there was none!


    The creator of such innovative surgical techniques deserved a full score!


    Guo Yunfei had also finished watching the surgical video.


    Starting from when Chen Cang prepared the unidirectional valve, the surgery got better and better.


    The method using the two threads to change the flow was particularly ingenious, broadening one¡¯s horizons.


    This technique held significant research value!


    Just as Guo Yunfei closed the video, something occurred to him and he hastily looked back!


    Indeed!


    Chen Cang had anticipated all of this.


    From the beginning of the surgery, when Chen Cang was using the Gott shunt as a guide, choosing the entry points on the ascending and descending aorta, he had laid all the groundwork for the later procedure!


    Incredible!


    Impressive!


    At this moment, Guo Yunfei couldn¡¯t help but respect Chen Cang¡­


    But why did his surgery from yesterday only score 91 points?


    Guo Yunfei had originally not been interested in that score, but now, out of curiosity, he opened the video¡­


    After watching it, Guo Yunfei felt it was standard, without any standout points!


    However, the disparity between the two surgeries was immediately evident.


    Could it be¡­


    that Chen Cang truly hid his strength yesterday?


    No!


    Definitely not!


    It must be¡­


    he learned all of this last night!


    Realizing this, Guo Yunfei was shocked by his own conjecture.


    He would rather believe that Chen Cang was hiding his abilities than admit Chen Cang had such powerful learning skills.


    That would be just too freakish, right?


    At this time, when the people around looked at Chen Cang, they showed respect.


    Yet, seeing Chen Cang with closed eyes as if dozing off, they shook their heads; a master indeed, having the leisure to sleep at such a time.


    Actually, Chen Cang just felt somewhat allergic to the fervent gazes of the men around him¡­


    Feeling out of place, he decided to close his eyes.

 Chapter 601 - Chapter 601 Chapter 601 I Have No Pressure!

    ?Chapter 601: Chapter 601: I Have No Pressure!


    (Extra for Everyone!) Chapter 601: Chapter 601: I Have No Pressure!


    (Extra for Everyone!) The competition continued with drawing lots!


    Chen Cang used to worry about the possibility of drawing a bye.


    But now, he realized he was thinking too much.


    It seemed he had nothing to do with byes.


    On the contrary, this time, Guo Yunfei got a bye.


    It caused quite a stir in Group A.


    Everyone was happy, after all, Guo Yunfei getting a bye¡­


    seemed to have no impact; it was just a matter of being eliminated sooner or later¡­


    However, Meng Xi ended up drawing a match.


    Chen Cang¡¯s luck was not bad, this round was about pseudonym aneurysm surgery, still okay!


    His competitor, a doctor from the tumor hospital, saw Chen Cang and suddenly asked with a smile, ¡°Can I join your hotpot dinner tonight?¡±


    Chen Cang was startled¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.?¦Ï


    Is my hotpot feast really that famous?


    ¡°Uh¡­


    sure!


    Welcome, welcome.¡±


    ¡°Actually, my surgery is just average, I think we should both give it our best,¡± Chen Cang explained.


    Upon hearing this, the other doctor quickly nodded with a smile, ¡°I know, I know, Dr.


    Chen you¡¯re just too modest.


    Dr.


    Xu told me, you said the same thing just before, even Dr.


    Xu felt a bit embarrassed and consoled you for a while, right?¡±


    Chen Cang was instantly ashamed and at a loss.


    Why don¡¯t you believe me when I tell the truth?


    Chen Cang wanted to say more but eventually let out a helpless sigh.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, the doctors waiting backstage were not in a hurry, but the examiners were anxious.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    After all, during the break just now, Sun Gaoxing shared Chen Cang¡¯s surgical video.


    Watching the video, the group of old-timers¡¯ eyes bulged with disbelief.


    It sparked heated discussions!


    Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s innovative new surgical technique, various department heads were somewhat surprised, and they began discussing it.


    ¡°This method is great, look, it¡¯s first of all convenient to perform, doesn¡¯t require many complicated instruments, and is applicable in many situations, good!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not just good, have you thought about it, this technique uses ropes and physical angles to change the angle of the shunt tube¡­


    thus adjusting the shunt flow?


    This trick could apply not only to the Gott shunt.¡±


    ¡°Many of our cardiothoracic surgeries and procedures could very well adopt this approach and explore optimization and improvements!¡±


    These words set off a wave of excitement!


    Even Sun Gaoxing himself had an epiphany!


    ¡°Right!


    Professor Chen made a good point, the application of shunt valves is too limited, and this unique novel physical shunting method is very much worth researching!¡±


    ¡°Besides the GOTT shunt, it could also apply to atrioventricular junction surgery, and more¡­¡±


    Sun Gaoxing opened the floodgates, and to be honest, he was inspired!


    At that moment, another professor said, ¡°Moreover, this has opened a new train of thought for me!¡±


    ¡°The importance of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary collaborative development!¡±


    ¡°If internal medicine drug treatment belongs to the biochemistry field, then our surgical field should delve more into physiological physics!¡±


    ¡°In that case, we could completely collaborate with other colleges of science and engineering to seek new breakthroughs!


    After all¡­


    our thinking can¡¯t be as divergent as those professionals.


    What do you think?¡±


    Another professor clapped in approval, ¡°Great idea!¡±


    ¡°This could even help us develop more new instruments, new procedures¡­¡±


    ¡­


    With a different level of expertise, one¡¯s perspective changes.


    Inspired by Chen Cang¡¯s operation, these experts were eager to go back and delve into further research.


    At that moment, a professor couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director Sun, does this¡­


    surgery have a name?¡±


    Everyone looked at Sun Gaoxing.


    Sun Gaoxing was taken aback, ¡°Ahem, it¡¯s quite obvious that the surgeon hadn¡¯t thought it through.


    I assumed he had researched it beforehand, but¡­


    now that I think about it, it seems like it was improvised on the spot!¡±


    With that, the surrounding professors all frowned.


    Clinical performance?


    Is it that impressive?


    This is not as simple as just saying a sentence.


    Hou Liang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°He named two techniques at the time, one was: the Two-Thread Technique!


    The other was: Two Threads and a Tube!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    These two names, grounded and colloquial, instantly made Chen Cang much more likable to everyone.


    At this moment, the professor who had spoken earlier said to Sun Gaoxing, ¡°Sun, when you get back, tell that young man to publish his paper soon.


    Once this video gets out, who knows how many will rush to get ahead.¡±


    This immediately reminded Sun Gaoxing, and he nodded, ¡°Right!


    Should we take the video down for now?


    Publish it after the competition is over?¡±


    After hearing this, everyone immediately shook their heads, ¡°That¡¯s not quite right either, it could easily lead to a lot of misunderstandings.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s just remind him for now.


    Even if it¡¯s released, those who learn it still need time for data analysis and research.¡±


    Sun Gaoxing nodded and decided to take the opportunity during lunch to remind him properly.


    However, by the time the next exam came around, all the examiners were eager to go to the examination room where Chen Cang was.


    As the number of eliminated contestants increased, many examiners were already free, and they all wanted to decide on the spot to observe Chen Cang¡¯s surgery.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Doctor Wang from the Tumor Hospital entered the examination room first, smiling at Chen Cang, ¡°I actually don¡¯t feel any pressure at all!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, ¡°That¡¯s great.


    Actually, being free from pressure can lead to better performance!¡±


    Doctor Wang shook his head, ¡°No, no, no¡­


    I just feel that the result is definitely going to be elimination, so I might as well perform well.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded in acknowledgment, ¡°Good luck!


    Don¡¯t be nervous!¡±


    Doctor Wang hummed in response, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t feel any pressure at all!¡±


    As he spoke, Doctor Wang walked confidently toward the examination room.


    Truth be told, his pressure really wasn¡¯t great at this point; after all, it was a situation bound for defeat.


    What pressure could there be?


    But¡­


    Upon entering the examination room, he immediately felt stunned.


    Dozens of examiners wearing masks stared at him, scaring him so much that his knees nearly buckled!


    Did¡­


    did I walk into the wrong set?


    He realized that pressure didn¡¯t just come from oneself, but also from external forces!


    Sun Gaoxing looked on with a smile as Doctor Wang entered, ¡°Classmate, don¡¯t be nervous.


    Are you ready?¡±


    Doctor Wang cursed inwardly, ¡°Can I be not nervous?¡±


    Have you ever seen an exam where there are a dozen proctors for one student?


    Could I not be nervous?


    Sun Gaoxing cleared his throat, ¡°If you¡¯re ready, let¡¯s begin!¡±


    Doctor Wang felt like crying¡­


    Why do I suddenly feel uncomfortable everywhere?


    Do your eyes have needles in them, making my back feel chilly¡­?


    And why do I feel like there are ants crawling on my back¡­


    My arm is a bit itchy¡­


    After the surgery, he had a premonition that he might set a record.


    The lowest score in the competition¡­


    I fucking didn¡¯t feel pressured¡­


    that was a lie!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: Thank you to the Alliance Hierarch ¡°Yipin Xiaoxin¡± for the 10,000 reward, much appreciated!


    Thank to ¡°Single But Still Cool¡± for the 10,000 reward!


    The sixth update is here, I hope everyone likes it.

 Chapter 602 - Chapter 602 Chapter 602 Dont shrug your shoulders!

    ?Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Don¡¯t shrug your shoulders!


    Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Don¡¯t shrug your shoulders!


    Chen Cang watched as Doctor Wang walked out of the examination room with an ashen face, looking completely out of sorts, and was immediately dumbfounded.


    ¡°Doctor Wang¡­


    what¡¯s wrong with you?


    Are you feeling unwell?¡±


    Just as Doctor Wang was about to speak, he sighed helplessly after glancing at the staff member beside him.


    ¡°Doctor Chen, it¡¯s nothing, I¡¯m just a bit stressed, nothing else!¡±


    Indeed!


    Throughout the entire surgery, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if ants were crawling on him, itching everywhere!


    As a result, although the surgery was completed by the book, it felt terrible!


    Who knows if the examiners had gone mad or what?


    They had all actually entered the examination room.


    He really wanted to ask, what if the examiners violate the examination record?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í¨À¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Does that count as a violation¡­


    After thinking it over, he decided to let it be¡­


    after all, there was no way he could advance to the next level.


    Just at that moment, a staff member came out from the examination room, holding a few pieces of paper, and found him, saying with a smile, ¡°These are all the evaluations and suggestions from the examiners for you.¡±


    Upon opening them, Doctor Wang¡¯s hands trembled with excitement!


    It was worth it!


    All worth it!


    Receiving suggestions from these dozens of examiners, where else could you get such high-class treatment?


    At this thought, he suddenly felt that it didn¡¯t matter if his score was low.


    If only he had shown more flaws!


    Alas¡­


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    However, as soon as Doctor Wang opened the paper, he saw the chief examiner¡¯s comment with Sun Gaoxing¡¯s signature that read, ¡°Do not tremble your shoulders during surgery!¡±


    Upon seeing it, he was suddenly on the verge of tears!


    I didn¡¯t want to tremble either¡­


    Chen Cang was about to step forward when Doctor Wang suddenly called him, ¡°Doctor Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang turned around, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Doctor Wang looked helplessly at the staff member beside him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous¡­


    and also, don¡¯t tremble your shoulders!¡±


    Chen Cang was puzzled and took a strange look at Doctor Wang before walking into the examination room.


    After entering, he was momentarily stunned!


    With dozens of eyes staring at him, Chen Cang was immediately taken aback.


    Awkwardly, he said, ¡°Greetings to all the examiners!¡±


    Sun Gaoxing said with a smile, ¡°Hmm, Doctor Chen, there¡¯s something I want to ask you before the exam, that is, have you thought of a name for that new Gott shunt technique this morning?¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless, why would you care so much about the name?


    At that moment, Sun Gaoxing seemed to have noticed Chen Cang¡¯s confusion and explained, ¡°The thing is, the video of today¡¯s surgery will be released on the official website, and many people will see your flawless surgery video.


    Therefore, your surgery, as well as the new technique, will be seen by many.¡±


    ¡°The professors and experts believe that this technique is certainly worth publishing in a good paper, and they all suggest you publish an article as soon as possible, so as not to become a tool for profiteers!¡±


    The remark left Chen Cang dumbfounded, and amidst his bewilderment, his heart also swelled with gratefulness, knowing they said this for his own good.


    To be honest, he had always lacked a precise understanding of intellectual property, but now the professors¡¯ words were a wake-up call for Chen Cang.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang quickly bowed in thanks.


    With a smile, Sun Gaoxing said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s prepare to commence the surgery!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and began the upcoming surgery.


    Chen Cang looked at the many expert professors and didn¡¯t show any sign of stage fright.


    After alla€| Chen Cang was quite experienced and knowledgeable!


    In performing hepatobiliary surgery, even Zhou Hongguang, the chairman of the Hepatobiliary Surgery department and an esteemed academician, had assisted him.


    In performing hand surgery, he was even observed by a crowd of the ¡°Four Young Masters.¡±


    This was a mere trifle for him, easy as pie!


    A pseudoaneurysm is actually when the inner lining of the vessel tears and blood fills the space, forming a tumor-like thing.


    If it progresses a bit more seriously, it can turn into an aortic dissection, and thus this kind of surgery must be dealt with urgently.


    This particular surgery happened to be on the ascending aorta, so Chen Cang dealt with it quite adeptly!


    Over the years, with the development of endovascular stent-grafting, the surgery for traumatic pseudoaneurysms has been gradually replaced by this kind of minimally invasive intervention.


    Similarly, in cardiac surgery this has a drawback, which is a high risk of spinal cord injury, so people tend to favor stent surgery.


    The surgery went very smoothly.


    After it ended, suddenly an expert asked, ¡°Young Chen, what do you think about surgical and interventional treatments for pseudoaneurysms?¡±


    With that question, the room suddenly fell silent.


    This question was really not easy to answer!


    Everyone present was a cardiac surgeon, but intervention had already become mainstream.


    This technique was also in the process of being phased out.


    However, for a cardiac surgeon, surgical repair is a permanent fix, while stent intervention is ultimately xenogenic.


    Therefore, the older generation of surgeons still advocates for surgical treatment!


    Chen Cang thought it over and over, feeling that if he praised intervention, he would definitely be unwelcome, but the advantages of intervention were very obvious!


    This was beyond doubt.


    Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be so vigorously developed now; the advent of intervention reduced surgery risks, and even junior doctors could perform major surgeries!


    There¡¯s no need for a major upheaval, and the patient¡¯s recovery is much quicker.


    Chen Cang then said, ¡°Actually, as a cardiac surgeon, I don¡¯t have a profound understanding of intervention, but I know surgery better, let me share my own opinion.¡±


    ¡°The gradual replacement of pseudoaneurysm surgery by intervention is due to the high risk of surgical operations!


    The major risk area is when dissecting a hematoma in the mediastinum, where the proximal aorta is generally obscured by the hematoma, and it can rupture and cause massive bleeding at any time during separation.¡±


    After these words were spoken, the experts all nodded in agreement.


    The statement was correct, buta€| it wasn¡¯t pleasing to the ear!


    Indeed, Chen Cang¡¯s words were clearly pointing out the downsides of cardiac surgery.


    But just then, Chen Cang continued, ¡°So!


    If we can reduce the risk of this type of surgery and increase the safety of pseudoaneurysm operations, couldn¡¯t we compensate for our shortcomings?¡±


    At this point, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up!


    Indeed!


    We might not be able to reduce the advantages of the other side, but we can make up for our own shortcomings!


    Chen Cang then walked over to the operation table, started working on the simulator, and said, ¡°Everyone, look, when dissecting the proximal vessels, could we do this?


    First, free the left common carotid artery and the aortic arch between the left carotid and left subclavian arteries, using tourniquets to control bleeding¡­


    Then dissect and separate underneath the hematoma, and control the distal blood flow of the descending aorta with tourniquets!


    Lastly, deal with the hematoma to ensure safety.


    By doing this, wouldn¡¯t the difficulty of our surgery be reduced!


    And the risk factor lowered as well!¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang finished speaking, those around him immediately furrowed their brows, as Chen Cang¡¯s words clearly deviated from the guidelines!

 Chapter 603 - Chapter 603 Chapter 603 Chen Cang and the Examiner Get into a Fight!

    ?Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Chen Cang and the Examiner Get into a Fight!


    Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Chen Cang and the Examiner Get into a Fight!


    For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.


    Chen Cang¡¯s words were bold!


    He actually had the audacity to criticize the guidelines.


    Saying this out loud was definitely going to cause problems.


    After all, no matter how much surgery evolves, the guidelines are the standard.


    You can treat special cases with special considerations, but Chen Cang had effectively proposed an addendum to the guidelines.


    Sun Gaoxing stared at the blood vessels, contemplatively pondering Chen Cang¡¯s words, and the more he thought about it, the more sense it made!


    With that in mind, Sun Gaoxing personally stood up and walked to the operating table, beginning to demonstrate himself.


    The people around quickly gathered to watch.


    At this, the crowd started to discuss fervently.


    And now Chen Cang no longer treated these directors as directors, to hell with those experts and professors!


    If he needed to criticize, he criticized!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    If he needed to argue, he argued!


    Besides¡­


    An uncultured argument is called a quarrel!


    A cultured argument is called an academic debate!


    As they talked, everyone began to wildly demonstrate, continuously discussing, continuously debating!


    The supplement to the guidelines proposed by Chen Cang also ignited their mentality.


    To be honest, having performed surgery for so many years, who wouldn¡¯t have some insight!


    Who wouldn¡¯t have some experiences?


    Chen Cang had ideas, but they definitely were not the only suggestions and thoughts.


    Scholars can be terrifying when angered!


    Especially these surgeons who are used to handling knives and covered in blood!


    Honestly, among those present, whose hands hadn¡¯t claimed dozens of lives!


    If things got serious¡­


    Chen Cang might be the youngest, but he was also the least experienced.


    Indeed, these surgical directors were all from emergency cardiothoracic backgrounds, having seen too many life-saving operations.


    Moreover, the mortality rate in cardiothoracic surgery is really high!


    Often they don¡¯t even make it to the hospital.


    Therefore, each of them had an aura of ¡°murderous intent,¡± making the staff shiver¡­


    The instrument nurses were so frightened that they carefully hid the surgical knives, hemostats¡­


    these lethal tools.


    As time ticked away, the effects of the discussion were remarkably evident; people¡¯s voices got lower, and their thoughts became clearer.


    Gradually, a clear direction emerged!


    Everyone felt that the guidelines needed to evolve, and that they should refine and perfect this surgical technique.


    They discussed and considered every detail carefully.


    ¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­


    Meanwhile, it was already twelve o¡¯clock outside!


    Exams in the other rooms had ended, and everyone was anxiously awaiting the results!


    But since one room had not finished, they were not allowed to leave.


    With no other choice, everyone gathered in the waiting area, idly starting to chat.


    ¡°Who hasn¡¯t come out yet?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t know!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Group C, those of us from Groups A and B have all come out.


    Who are you missing from your group?¡±


    ¡°Right, who hasn¡¯t come out yet?¡±


    Soon, everyone turned their gaze towards Doctor Wang, who was looking at several sheets of paper, and quickly asked.


    ¡°Doctor Wang, who were you competing against?¡±


    Doctor Wang looked up at the crowd: ¡°Chen Cang, Doctor Chen, what¡¯s up?¡±


    The crowd was startled: ¡°What time is it now, and it¡¯s still not over?¡±


    Only then did Doctor Wang check the time, and he was stunned: ¡°It¡¯s been over an hour, hasn¡¯t it?


    Why haven¡¯t they come out yet?¡±


    ¡°Right, what surgery takes this long?¡±


    ¡°Do you think Doctor Chen encountered some accident?¡±


    As everyone speculated, they suddenly heard a commotion from the examination room across.


    They were dumbfounded!


    Each cast surprised glances at one another and quickly rose to listen at the doorway.


    The staff didn¡¯t want to deal with it anymore, since the exams were over¡­


    The crowd outside started to eavesdrop!


    ¡°Sun Gaoxing, you idiot, look here¡­¡±


    ¡°Hou Liang!


    Here, how should this be done?¡±


    ¡­¡­


    At that moment, those familiar with Chen Cang¡¯s voice also heard him roaring¡­


    The crowd was stunned!


    They were dumbfounded?


    Did Doctor Chen get into a fight with someone inside?


    Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.


    How did an examination turn into this?


    The people in the waiting area were confused, and those waiting outside were even more baffled!


    After all, why hadn¡¯t the exam ended yet when it was already past noona€|


    What on earth happened?


    At that moment, someone came out from inside, said a few words to one of the staff members, then went back in.


    It didn¡¯t take long!


    Everyone came to know that Chen Cang had fought with the examiner!


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    That¡¯s right!


    That¡¯s how rumors spread.


    The fans of ¡°Hotpot Hero¡± were all struck dumb when they heard the news, staring blankly at Tao Zi.


    ¡°Director Tao¡­


    Doctor Chen¡­


    has this kind of hobby too?¡±


    Tao Zi was also stunned for a moment; this time he truly didn¡¯t know!


    a€|


    a€|


    Meng Xi hesitated at the door for a long time, pondering whether to go in and help his student!


    After all, if a fight broke out, whom should he support?


    Reason or kinship?


    Sun Gaoxing suddenly said, ¡°Alright, alright, it¡¯s certain that today¡¯s discussion won¡¯t end, so let¡¯s do this, when we get back later, we¡¯ll discuss it thoroughly!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll find a time to have a good talk about this matter.


    For now, let¡¯s go eat so as not to delay the afternoon exam!¡±


    Everyone nodded, wanting to add Chen Cang¡¯s WeChat.


    ¡°Right!


    Let¡¯s eat first, we can chat while we eat.


    Little Chen, don¡¯t you wander off, let¡¯s sit together!¡±¡±


    ¡°Move over, I think Little Chen and I share similar views; we¡¯ll sit together!¡±


    a€|


    In the midst of talking, everyone started heading out.


    Sun Gaoxing was at the forefront, taking off his white coat and preparing to leave!


    Chen Cang was flabbergasted!


    Wait, wait, waita€|


    I haven¡¯t received my scores yet, are you¡­


    just going to leave like this?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang hurriedly stopped everyone: ¡°Wait a moment!¡±¡±


    Everyone looked up, staring at Chen Cang: ¡°What¡¯s up, Little Chen?¡±¡±


    Chen Cang let out a sigh: ¡°Which one of you is the examiner¡­


    you haven¡¯t given me a score yet!¡±¡±


    Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.


    Sun Gaoxing, red-faced, came back to pick up a pen and paper, glanced at everyone: ¡°How many points?¡±¡±


    Everyone shook their heads, looking towards Chen Cang: ¡°Little Chen, how many points do you want?¡±¡±


    Chen Cang: a€|


    Can I report you guys?


    Can¡¯t you take your job a bit more seriously?


    This is an examination site for goodness¡¯ sake!


    In fact, Chen Cang had really misunderstood them.


    This kind of surgical skills competition was inherently quite relaxed as long as the competition remained fair; the rest wasn¡¯t too strict!


    It wasn¡¯t uncommon for odd things to happen during the finals every year.


    Such discussions¡­


    weren¡¯t rare at all!


    But still, a score needed to be given.


    In the end, Sun Gaoxing and Hou Liang scored him 96 points.


    Chen Cang advanced!


    During lunch, Chen Cang, standing out among the crowd, was surrounded by a bunch of examiners, chatting animatedly.


    The other candidates who saw this were taken aback.


    All of them were astounded.


    What kind of candidate was this?


    Dining with the examiners¡­


    Actually, Chen Cang was quite anxious inside.


    Won¡¯t these people report me for exploiting connections?


    After all, wasn¡¯t this too obvious?


    Also, Director Sun, could you please not keep giving me the chicken legs you¡¯ve already eaten from?


    Chen Cang was feeling helplessa€|

 Chapter 605 - Chapter 605 Chapter 605 This Is a Private Matter

    ?Chapter 605: Chapter 605: This Is a Private Matter¡­


    (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Light Thunder Clap 1/n) Chapter 605: Chapter 605: This Is a Private Matter¡­


    (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Light Thunder Clap 1/n) After Qin Xiaoyuan uninstalled the software, Ji Ruyun¡¯s expression changed slightly, and her eyes curved up:


    ¡°Old Qin, you wouldn¡¯t be feeling guilty, would you?¡±


    Taken aback, Qin Xiaoyuan thought, can she actually guess that?


    After a brief but intense 3.5-second stare-down, the mental tug-of-war between a hospital director and a department head came to an end!


    Old Qin had a slight edge!


    After all¡­


    he had been a director for many years, naturally not showing his emotions, and he said cheerfully, ¡°Guilty about what?


    I just think we shouldn¡¯t let the girl be influenced by such feudal superstitious thinking!¡±


    ¡°Right!


    Not advisable!¡±


    Watching Qin Xiaoyuan talk to himself¡­


    The mother and daughter stared at him, remaining silent, causing Old Qin to feel inexplicably anxious.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã?


    This was the perfect time to change the subject.


    With this in mind, Old Qin quickly said, ¡°Yueyue, you should hurry and ask Chen Cang how the competition results turned out, huh?¡±


    Qin Yue rolled her eyes: ¡°Chen Cang is the best in the world, of course, there¡¯s no problem!¡±


    Old Qin, feeling helpless, thought, don¡¯t you trust your dad this much?


    Just then, a phone call suddenly came in.


    ¡°Hello?


    Brother, do you know about Doctor Chen Cang?¡±


    Upon seeing the name, Qin Xiaoyuan was immediately taken aback.


    ¡°Yue Ming?


    What¡¯s up?¡±


    Qin Yue was stunned to hear her uncle inquire about Chen Cang.


    Could her uncle also know about her relationship with Chen Cang?


    This thought made Qin Yue a bit nervous.


    Qin Yueming was still serving as the chief examiner in Handong Province, but he had suddenly learned that this year, Dongyang Province had produced a genius.


    He had originally thought it was his student Guo Yunfei, but later heard it was Chen Cang from the Second Provincial Hospital.


    After speaking with Guo Yunfei on the phone, Qin Yueming was somewhat astonished.


    Chen Cang was only 27 years old!


    Out of curiosity, Qin Yueming watched Chen Cang¡¯s surgery videos from the past few days, and after finishing, he fell silent.


    This was definitely a genius!


    A rare genius.


    Someone worth nurturing vigorously.


    ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    This thought even led Qin Yueming to consider the idea of poaching him.


    But after looking at Chen Cang¡¯s registration information, Qin Yueming pauseda€¡±was he a doctor in emergency at the Second Provincial Hospital?


    That reminded Qin Yueming of his own elder brother, Qin Xiaoyuan.


    Qin Yueming spoke somewhat anxiously, ¡°Brother, I need to tell you something.¡±


    Whenever Qin Xiaoyuan heard Qin Yueming sound so urgent, he thought it must be something serious: ¡°Did¡­


    did Chen do something wrong?¡±


    Qin Yueming shook his head: ¡°Of course not!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang has secured the Dongyang Province¡¯s spot to compete in the national competition a week from now!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan immediately smiled: ¡°That¡¯s great news!¡±


    Upon hearing his brother sound so pleased, Qin Yueming quickly added, ¡°Brother, indeed it¡¯s great news, but¡­


    have you considered, if Chen Cang wins the national competition, would that still be good news?¡±


    Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan was immediately stunned!


    ¡°Yue Ming¡­


    aren¡¯t you exaggerating a bit?


    I mean¡­


    Chen is quite outstanding, but he¡¯s still a ways off from being a national champion, right?¡±


    Qin Yueming shook his head; it seemed his brother was completely unaware of Chen Cang¡¯s abilities!


    With this in mind, Qin Yueming quickly said, ¡°Brother, I¡¯m not joking.


    Chen Cang is very capable, with a talent for cardiothoracic surgery that even surpasses mine.


    The chief examiner for this provincial competition was Director Sun from the Anzhen Hospital in the capital, who scored Chen Cang with a 98 and then a 100!


    With such scores, do you think we shouldn¡¯t take notice?¡±


    ¡°Let me put it this way, even if Chen doesn¡¯t improve this week, with his current level, he would have no problems placing in the top three in the national competition!¡±


    ¡°If Chen happens to win the national championship, the significance of that victory would be immense!¡±


    ¡°I wonder how many hospitals will be throwing olive branches his way by then!¡±


    Qin Yueming¡¯s concerns weren¡¯t unreasonable, after all, he had looked at Chen Cang¡¯s profile, just an ordinary little doctor.


    It seemed like his brother didn¡¯t take Chen Cang seriously at all!


    So, Qin Yueming wanted to give his brother a heads-up.


    After hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan fell into thought for a moment, then slowly said, ¡°Actually¡­


    Yue Ming, it¡¯s really not certain that the Second Provincial Hospital can keep him.¡±


    Qin Yueming was frustrated: ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve got to give him benefits!


    Welfare!


    Rights and such¡­¡±


    ¡°To be honest, you¡¯re just a step away from being promoted to Deputy Hall level, and this Chen Cang could be an opportunity.¡±


    ¡°Plus, he¡¯s a promising seedling.


    Putting everything else aside, he¡¯s definitely a surgeon with boundless prospects.


    I wouldn¡¯t just consider him for a deputy director positiona€¡±if I had a suitable spot, I¡¯d be willing to promote him to director!¡±


    ¡°If I were you, I¡¯d be so eager I¡¯d marry off my own daughter to him!¡±


    With that, silence fell on the other end of the phone!


    After saying that, Qin Yueming paused for a moment and suddenly remembered something.


    He quickly asked, ¡°Brother¡­


    Yueyue isn¡¯t with you, is she?¡±


    ¡°Little Uncle, hello!¡±


    A crisp voice made Qin Yueming shudder, and he nearly dropped his phone.


    ¡°Yueyue!


    Long time no see.


    When I get back, I¡¯ll bring you a gift.


    That¡¯s all for now, I¡¯ve got something else to do, I¡¯m hanging up.¡±


    As Qin Yueming spoke, he was ready to hang up the phone.


    But Qin Yue hurriedly said, ¡°If you hang up, I¡¯m going to find my aunt and tell her¡­¡±


    Qin Yueming was crying: ¡°Yueyue, Uncle was just joking.


    Hand the phone to your dad, I need to talk to him about work.¡±


    Taking the phone, Qin Xiaoyuan sighed and said with a laugh, ¡°Yue Ming, this isn¡¯t just about work, it¡¯s personal too!¡±


    Qin Yueming was taken aback: ¡°Personal?


    What do you mean?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan sighed: ¡°Yueyue is currently dating Chen Cang¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yueming was dumbfounded!


    All this time, he had thought his brother was too kind-hearted and soft, but he hadn¡¯t expected¡­


    this was quite harsh!


    Thinking this, Qin Yueming couldn¡¯t help but sigh, realizing the older you get, the wiser you are!


    ¡°Brother, there¡¯s nothing else to say, you¡¯re awesome!¡±


    ¡°When did this happen?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, ¡°It¡¯s been a while now.


    Right now, I¡¯m so eager to see this girl married off, whoever wants her can take her¡­¡±


    After chatting for a bit more.


    Qin Yueming laughed and said to Qin Yue, ¡°Yueyue, bring Little Chen to my place sometime, I¡¯d like to meet this young man.¡±


    Qin Yue laughed, ¡°My Chen Cang is still a little doctor.


    Uncle, do you have a suitable position for him at your place?¡±


    Qin Yueming was immediately dumbfounded: ¡°You girl, already throwing your elbow out before you¡¯re married!¡±


    At those words, everyone burst into laughter.


    For some reason, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly felt sorry for Yue Ming, God knows if his own daughter would sneak off with clothes¡­


    Qin Yueming, satisfied, hung up the phone!


    If Chen Cang were just a doctor at the Second Provincial Hospital, it would definitely be a boost!


    But¡­


    Chen Cang was the son-in-law of the Second Provincial Hospital, which meant¡­


    he could go wherever the opportunities were best in the country.


    At that moment, Qin Yueming glanced at the message Guo Yunfei had sent him.


    He sighed again, alas¡­


    his own daughter was married off too early!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Thanks to ¡°Ye Cheng You¡± and ¡°CAA Spicy Hotpot¡± for their 10,000 reward!


    There should be another one in the afternoon!


    Work hard!


    Work hard!


    Work hard!

 Chapter 606 - Chapter 606 Chapter 606 Chen!

    ?Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Chen!


    I Want to Get Plastic Surgery¡­


    Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Chen!


    I Want to Get Plastic Surgery¡­


    Chen Cang returned home to tidy up and immediately took a taxi to Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital.


    It was still early at the time, just past five o¡¯clock, and Chen Cang had a reservation at Haidilao for seven in the evening.


    Two hours should be enough.


    Besides, everyone had just finished the competition today.


    They needed time to go home, tidy up, change into more relaxed and casual clothes, and spend a little time with their wives and children.


    Today was the day for Zhang Aixiang¡¯s stitches to be removed, and Chen Cang was very much looking forward to seeing what the recovery results would be like!


    Although the initial impression right after the surgery was very good, the human body ultimately goes through a self-healing process, which is very difficult to control.


    The regeneration of scar tissue and the healing between tissues is just like nature, full of miracles.


    Zhang Zhixin and Hu Chuanjin were both anxiously waiting for Chen Cang¡¯s arrival.


    Zheng Guotan and Laurence had come too, sitting inside the ward, accompanying Zhang Aixiang.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    Everyone was a bit anxious.


    Actually, that¡¯s life.


    When you are filled with anticipation, wanting to see a pleasant surprise, you might also shy away because there¡¯s always a gap between dreams and reality.


    The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!


    Laurence decided to get up and wait outside, leaving some space for the couple to be alone.


    Zheng Guotan sat by the bed, holding Zhang Aixiang¡¯s hand, ¡°Wife, are you excited?


    Or nervous?¡±


    Zhang Aixiang laughed heartily, feeling Zheng Guotan¡¯s hand holding hers, suddenly felt that this was happiness itself.


    ¡°Nervous?


    Not at all, after all these years, what difference would it make even if it failed?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m excited, but¡­


    what I¡¯m looking forward to is seeing you happy when you see me.


    Truth be told, I¡¯m more worried that you¡¯ll be disappointed.¡±


    As Zhang Aixiang spoke, her voice became lower and lower, and less and less confident.


    She sighed helplessly¡­


    Zheng Guotan was slightly startled, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, we have been husband and wife for so long, this is not important.¡±


    ¡°Besides, you have to trust Chen Cang.


    He has worked so hard to perform your surgery.


    Maybe the result will be even better than you imagine!¡±


    Zheng Guotan, sensing Zhang Aixiang¡¯s despondence, couldn¡¯t help but comfort her.


    ¡°When you¡¯re better, I¡¯ll take you to banquets, to our estate in England.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã0


    The flowers you planted there have grown tall, and our vineyard had a particularly good harvest last year.


    I just tried the wine yesterday, it tastes great, just the flavor you like.¡±


    Zhang Aixiang is not only a housewife but also a strong woman!


    Behind a successful man, there inevitably stands a strong woman!


    In the fastest progressing period of Zheng Guotan¡¯s life, Zhang Aixiang once held great power in the company!


    The couple was the business marvel of Dongyang.


    In fact, removing stitches and bandages, these tasks did not require Chen Cang¡¯s personal presence, but Zheng Guotan hoped that Chen Cang would do it.


    When Chen Cang arrived at the hospital entrance, he saw Zhang Zhixin and Hu Chuanjin waiting expectantly, like the Stone awaiting her fisherman husband.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, you¡¯re here!¡± Hu Chuanjin hurriedly stood up to greet him.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, how was the competition?¡± Zhang Zhixin asked eagerly.


    While both were waiting, their questions were different.


    Hu Chuanjin hoped Chen Cang would come soon, whereas Zhang Zhixin was looking forward to good news from Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang nodded slightly with a smile and jokingly said to Zhang Zhixin, ¡°Of course there was no problem, it was just a formality.¡±


    On hearing this, Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°Awesome!


    That¡¯s fantastic!¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you, if you get a good ranking in the national competition, countless hospitals across the country will be fighting for you!


    This competition has great significance!¡± exclaimed Zhang Zhixin excitedly.


    Hu Chuanjin said with a smile, ¡°Xiao Chen, go on up, General Manager Zheng and Mr.


    Laurence are upstairs!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, nodding his head.


    He was friends with Zhang Zhixin, and he had a mutually beneficial relationship with Hu Chuanjin; he saw this very clearly.


    After going upstairs, Lennar Constance smiled at Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, I heard you entered a competition, how did it go?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled slightly, ¡°Thank you, Mr.


    Seton, for your concern.


    The competition went smoothly.¡±


    Lennar Constance, filled with emotion and disbelief, said, ¡°So there really are geniuses in the world.


    I always thought you were a professional plastic surgeon, but now it seems you¡¯re also a cardiologist.


    Is plastic surgery just a part-time job for you?


    Petra will surely be envious when she hears this!¡±


    ¡°Also, Chen, I feel my heart is in good hands now!


    Why don¡¯t you consider learning something else?


    That way, I won¡¯t have to worry about getting sick.¡±


    Constance¡¯s words made Chen Cang unable to help but laugh.


    The group walked together to the patient room.


    Zheng Guotan stood up and nodded at Chen Cang, not saying much.


    The two had been interacting frequently for some time and got along very well.


    There was no need for excessive pleasantries.


    Zhang Aixiang was not nervous at first, but she became somewhat uneasy upon seeing Chen Cang arrive.


    The nurse handed over the scissors, and Chen Cang comforted, ¡°Sister-in-law, don¡¯t worry, you might be in for a surprise.¡±


    Zhang Aixiang smiled, ¡°Mhm, I believe you.¡±


    Chen Cang carefully cut open the outer layer of gauze, then slowly unwrapped it.


    As the layers of gauze were removed, everyone grew tense!


    Zheng Guotan, who was usually unfazed in the business world, now had his hands trembling slightly.


    Lennar Constance patted his friend¡¯s back, offering reassurance.


    Hu Chuanjin was on tenterhooks, worried that Chen Cang might mess it up yet hopeful for a good result that might earn Zheng Guotan¡¯s valuable friendship, or if not that, at least a bit of goodwill.


    After all, in Hu Chuanjin¡¯s eyes, a word from Zheng Guotan could save him a lot of trouble.


    After removing all the gauze, Chen Cang used a special cleaning cloth to wipe the face clean.


    Smiling, he said to the nurse, ¡°Bring the mirror in.¡±


    After saying this, he stepped aside!


    Immediately, Zhang Aixiang¡¯s face appeared before everyone.


    She clenched her eyes shut, not daring to open them, clearly nervous.


    And upon seeing her, the onlookers were stunned!


    ¡°Fantastic!


    Fantastic!


    Fantastic!


    It¡¯s amazing!¡± Zheng Guotan couldn¡¯t believe what he was seeing and took a few steps forward, his hands trembling as he reached out to touch her face but¡­


    he didn¡¯t dare.


    He couldn¡¯t believe this face was real!


    Lennar Constance was also shocked; compared to the semi-finished appearance immediately following surgery, Zhang Aixiang¡¯s skin seemed to have undergone an earth-shattering transformation!


    Her appearance had changed somewhat, but¡­


    it was a unique kind of beauty!


    It was different from the cookie-cutter beauty, a beauty peculiar to Zhang Aixiang!


    This made Lennar Constance take a deep breath and say, ¡°I want to get plastic surgery nowa€| Chen!¡±


    This wasn¡¯t just Constance¡¯s thought; everyone who saw Zhang Aixiang couldn¡¯t help but be moved.


    Is this a woman in her fifties?


    It¡¯s miraculous!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: I¡¯m really sorry, I was a bit busy this afternoon, running around, and only managed to write one chapter.


    Apologies.

 Chapter 607 - Chapter 607 Chapter 607 Buy a Car!

    ?Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Buy a Car!


    Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Buy a Car!


    In fact, Mei Zhen didn¡¯t have that many adjectives to describe her.


    It was just a feeling!


    One that made people feel refreshed and at ease, comfortable, and very happy inside.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Zhang Aixiang might not have been extremely beautiful, without those descriptions like ¡°heavenly beauty¡± or ¡°skin like creamy jade¡±¡­


    a pile of adjectives, but the beauty she possessed at this moment was very real.


    Looking in the mirror, her eyes were full of disbeliefa€¡±the effect was just too obvious!


    The face of someone in their fifties, though wrinkles remained, they were not very noticeable anymore, and despite some redness from the surgery, there wasn¡¯t much effect on her overall appearance.


    As people age, various factors like skin elasticity lead to different signs of aging on the face.


    Chen Cang had no magic to change someone¡¯s constitution; he could only make minor adjustments to the facial muscles and skin to make her look much younger.


    At this moment, Zhang Aixiang might have seemed to be in her thirties or forties.


    But that was enough!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Her life of luxury had already given her a good foundation, and now she looked even more spirited.


    Looking at herself in the mirror, she found it hard to believe she looked so much younger!


    And most importantly, Chen Cang¡¯s minor adjustments made her look both unfamiliar and familiar in the mirror, but definitely much more attractive!


    Zheng Guotan looked at the smile on his wife¡¯s face and couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh of relief.


    How many years had passed!


    That smile had been missing for so long¡­


    And all of this was thanks to Chen Cang!


    Thinking of this, Zheng Guotan turned to Chen Cang and said gratefully, ¡°Xiao Chen, I really can¡¯t thank you enough.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s what I should do.¡±


    Zhang Aixiang, looking at the mirror, unconsciously shed tears.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, thank you so much!¡±


    Chen Cang quickly responded, ¡°Sister-in-law, you¡¯re too polite.


    Although we¡¯ve removed the gauze, you should stay here for a while longer.


    There¡¯s no need to rush to be discharged; we can enhance the results postoperatively.


    If you need anything, just contact Doctor Zhang.¡±


    Chen Cang introduced Zhang Zhixin.


    Zhang Aixiang smiled and nodded, ¡°Thank you, Doctor Zhang.


    Xiao Chen, I heard from Old Zheng that you have something on today; you better go ahead if you¡¯re busy.¡±


    Zheng Guotan said, ¡°This Xiao Chen is incredibly talented.


    He just competed in the cardiothoracic surgery skills competition.


    He won the provincial round and is heading to the capital for the national competition next week!¡±


    ¡°Oh, Xiao Chen, where¡¯s your dinner party?


    Will you make it in time?


    Your sister-in-law reminded me, or I¡¯d have forgotten all about it!


    Why don¡¯t you come to my place?


    I¡¯ll call the manager, and you can bring your colleagues over directly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately laughed, ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary.


    We¡¯re all doctors here; we¡¯re just having hotpot tonight at Haidilao.


    There¡¯s no need to trouble yourself, Mr.


    Zheng.¡±


    Zhang Aixiang chuckled and said to Chen Cang, ¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all, Xiao Chen, don¡¯t be a stranger.¡±


    ¡°By the way, Xiao Chen, do you have a car?


    Shall I ask my driver to take you there?¡±


    Chen Cang quickly replied with a smile, ¡°No need.


    It¡¯s easy to get a taxi now; I¡¯ll just take one over, it¡¯s fine.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Aixiang hurriedly asked, ¡°Xiao Chen, can you drive?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°A little bit.


    I often drove back in my hometown.¡±


    Indeed, whether or not one can drive¡­


    everyone had an idea in their mind¡­


    Well¡­


    after all, Chen Dahai¡¯s minivan was driven very smoothly by Chen Cang.


    Zhang Aixiang heard this, reached into her bag in the cabinet, pulled out a set of car keys, and handed them to Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, if you don¡¯t mind, take this car for now.¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t driven the car much since buying it.


    Thinking I would be discharged today, I had the housekeeper bring it down for me.


    You take it and drive.¡±


    Chen Cang froze for a moment when he saw the car keys.


    Porsche¡­


    Chen Cang quickly shook his head and said with a smile, ¡°No need, no need, Sister-in-law, you¡¯re being too polite, this car is too valuable.¡±


    The moment Zheng Guotan heard this, his eyes lit up, ¡°Little Chen, the car has been sitting in the garage for a long time, just take it and drive it; otherwise, it¡¯s just collecting dust.¡±


    Zhang Aixiang nodded eagerly, ¡°Right, don¡¯t be a stranger with us.


    You¡¯ve helped us so much, and I haven¡¯t even had the chance to say thank you.¡±


    ¡°A car is nothing.


    Drive it for now, and in a few days, come to our house and I¡¯ll show you the garage.


    Whichever one you like, tell Sister-in-law, and I¡¯ll give it to you!¡±


    Yeah!


    A lady of stature is truly a lady of stature, a single word of hers is a car.


    Chen Cang felt that, though Xu Ruoyun might throw a tantrum, the Lady had something different about her; a word from her could easily set things in motion.


    Actually!


    The Zheng Corporation is a family business, and the main shareholders are just a few.


    Zhang Aixiang is the second-largest shareholder of the Zheng Corporation; originally, she was the largest, but when the shares were diluted, Zhang Aixiang, concerned about Zheng Guotan¡¯s shareholding ratio, voluntarily reduced her own to become the second-largest shareholder.


    Zhang Aixiang was also a commanding presence in Dongyang Province, with a net worth of over ten billion!


    What¡¯s a car!


    After several refusals, Chen Cang felt bad about declining any further, so he just expressed his thanks.


    Zhang Aixiang smiled, ¡°This is the latest Paramela model, an imported car.


    I drove it once during the test drive, then it was just parked.


    If you like it, just take it; I¡¯ll have someone handle the paperwork for you.¡±


    In fact, the cost-performance ratio of the Paramela is not that high, but¡­


    talking about cost-performance with a tycoon just doesn¡¯t make sense.


    And to be honest, it¡¯s a very nice car indeed.


    Given Zhang Aixiang¡¯s generosity, it must be worth over two million at least.


    After giving some instructions, Chen Cang got up to leave.


    Upon reaching the parking area downstairs, Chen Cang pressed the car key and instantly a white Porsche Paramela appeared in his view!


    A very beautiful car!


    But the most crucial point was the license plate!


    When Chen Cang saw it, he was somewhat stunned: Dong A66666!


    Never mind the car, the license plate alone was quite domineering.


    With that thought, Chen Cang felt a bit excited as he opened the car door and sure enough, the interior was spotless, without a single personal item, and there was a faint fragrance that was very comforting to the nose.


    The protective plastic covers were still on the seats, the driver must have been extremely careful.


    The whole car had a fashionable and sporty style, and suddenly Chen Cang thought it actually suited Qin Xiaotian quite well.


    Checking the time, it was just six o¡¯clock.


    Chen Cang smiled and dialed Qin Yue¡¯s number, ¡°Beauty, are you free?¡±


    When Qin Xiaotian heard the phone ring, she hesitated for a moment, ¡°Sorry, I have a boyfriend now.¡±


    Chen Cang laughed helplessly, this kid was too mischievous, ¡°Then, would you mind keeping me company?¡±


    ¡°What if my husband finds out?¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless; was she addicted to playing this role?


    ¡°Leave it to me, come downstairs in 10 minutes, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±


    Qin Yue pretended to be reluctant and sighed, ¡°Well¡­


    alright then.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang started the car, sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, noting the car noise insulation was very well done.


    The brand lives up to its name!


    With that thought, Chen Cang drove off, heading towards the Second Provincial Hospital.


    This kind of car was not too low-key, but not as ostentatious as Teacher Meng¡¯s big G.


    Chen Cang quite liked it.

 Chapter 608 - Chapter 608 Chapter 608 The Mistress Appears

    ?Chapter 608: Chapter 608: The Mistress Appears Chapter 608: Chapter 608: The Mistress Appears Chen Cang felt impulsive and suddenly wanted to show off in front of Qin Xiaotian.


    He drove straight to the residential building, got out of the car, and called Qin Yue: ¡°I¡¯m downstairs.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded with a grin: ¡°I¡¯m putting on my shoes and coming right down!¡±


    After hanging up, Qin Yue said to her father while putting on her shoes: ¡°Dad, I¡¯m not eating dinner at home tonight, you eat with Mom.¡±


    Her father snorted: ¡°I didn¡¯t make dinner for you anyway!¡±


    Qin Yue was startled: ¡°Mom¡­


    look at Dad.¡±


    This time, Ji Ruyun sided with her husband: ¡°Alright, go on your date, you ungrateful little thing.


    When have you remembered us while making your love-filled packed lunches in the morning?¡±


    Qin Yue was instantly at a loss for words, her cheeks flushed red, and she stomped downstairs in a huff.


    Ji Ruyun got up from the sofa and stretched: ¡°Ah¡­


    Old Qin, shall we also go out to eat something nice?¡±


    Old Qin¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Great idea, right, the VVIP card for the Chris Restaurant that our daughter has seems to still be here.


    I¡¯ll go look for it, how about we have western food tonight?¡±


    As soon as Ji Ruyun heard it, she became excited: ¡°Great idea!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    You wait for me, I¡¯ll go change into something nice, and you put on that new suit I just bought you.¡±


    Old Qin nodded: ¡°Wife, wait a minute, I will make a call first to see if we can make a reservation.¡±


    While speaking, Old Qin took Qin Yue¡¯s VVIP card and dialed the dedicated service number on it.


    Before long, a voice answered: ¡°Respected member, hello, how may I assist you?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback by the response; membership really was different: ¡°I would like to reserve dinner for tonight.¡±


    The other party asked: ¡°May I know your card number?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan picked up the membership card, read it out, and the other party answered: ¡°Esteemed member, you are our VVIP user, and you can order at any time.


    Remember to bring your membership card when you come¡­¡±


    After hanging up, Qin Xiaoyuan was dumbfounded: ¡°Wife, this member card of your daughter¡¯s is the real deal!


    We can actually order at any time.


    Remember when we couldn¡¯t get a window seat even when we booked a week in advance?


    The difference is just too big!¡±


    Ji Ruyun, already dressed up and ready, came out holding a bottle of red wine Qin Yue had brought: ¡°Tonight we¡¯re going to indulge too!¡±


    Old Qin nodded: ¡°That¡¯s right!


    What¡¯s the point of keeping money¡­


    spend it all¡­


    Why keep it for these greedy folks!¡±


    Ji Ruyun: ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When Qin Yue came down, she saw Chen Cang standing downstairs and lunged at him!


    Chen Cang was startled and quickly caught her: ¡°Alright, alright, why act like a child.¡±


    Qin Yue said cheerfully: ¡°I¡¯m your little princess.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but lightly flick Qin Yue¡¯s nose.


    Speaking of which, although Qin Yue was a year older than Chen Cang, she had a pure heart and belonged to the cute type, completely different from Queen Meng¡¯s mature charm.


    Qin Yue said with a smile: ¡°Let¡¯s go, what shall we eat tonight?¡±


    Only then did Chen Cang say: ¡°How about hot pot?


    Haidilao!¡±


    When Qin Yue heard hot pot, she was even more excited than seeing Chen Cang, her eyes gleaming: ¡°Can I drink milk tea?¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh: ¡°Drink whatever you like.¡±


    The Second Provincial Hospital residential area didn¡¯t have an underground parking lot, so all the cars were parked above ground, and Chen Cang¡¯s Porsche Paramela was quite conspicuous in the complex.


    Chen Cang asked with a smile: ¡°What do you think?


    Isn¡¯t this car beautiful?¡±


    Qin Yue rolled her eyes: ¡°Obviously, and it¡¯s expensive too¡­¡±


    Suddenly, Chen Cang said: ¡°Would you smile sitting in a Porsche?¡±


    Qin Yue burst into laughter: ¡°If you¡¯re the driver, I¡¯d love to sit in the passenger seat and tell you jokes.¡±


    As they spoke, Qin Yue took Chen Cang¡¯s arm to head out: ¡°Ah, hurry, if we¡¯re late there¡¯ll be no seats left at Haidilao, and we¡¯ll have to queue¡­¡±


    All of a sudden, Chen Cang squeezed the key in his pocket, and the car lights flashed on, accompanied by a beep.


    Qin Yue jumped back in shock, ¡°Are you crazy¡­


    You scared me to death.¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly walked to the side of the car, pulled open the passenger door, and gestured to Qin Yue, ¡°Please, take a seat!¡±


    At this, Qin Yue was dumbfounded!


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.?¦Ï


    ¡°I¡­


    Oh my god, Chen Cang, you bought a car?


    You didn¡¯t even take me with you, how expensive is this¡­¡±


    ¡°This is a Porsche, right?


    Have you lost your mind, buying such an expensive car for what?¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Cang was caught off guard, thinking Qin Yue would be happy and surprised, but instead, she seemed a bit angry and lectured him for a while¡­


    She immediately started gesturing about the baby¡¯s formula money, the money for a school district house, the education fund, and even about bringing Chen Cang¡¯s parents to Anyang and buying a house¡­


    ¡°You can¡¯t be so wasteful!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh and feel exasperated at the same time.


    Looking at Qin Yue¡¯s foolishly frugal ways, Chen Cang actually felt a warm heart.


    Perhaps this is what a wife is like?


    If it were just a girlfriend, she wouldn¡¯t care about what car you buy, probably hoping you¡¯d spend all your money before complaining!


    Seeing that Chen Cang remained silent, Qin Yue felt like she might have gone too far and couldn¡¯t help but fall silent herself.


    After a while, she pouted and said with a grievance, ¡°Chen Cang¡­


    do you think I¡¯m too stingy?¡±


    ¡°Actually, I¡¯m just worried about you spending money carelessly.


    It¡¯s not easy for you to make money, and seeing you so busy every day hurts me too!


    Plus, we¡¯re married, and there will be a lot of expenses.


    I¡¯m not into luxury¡­


    I don¡¯t need to buy bags, I don¡¯t need sports cars¡­


    Just take me out for hot pot and I¡¯ll be very happy¡­


    Hmm, and add a milk tea¡­¡±


    Looking at Qin Yue in her casual outfit, a baggy sweatshirt paired with sports pants, Chen Cang suddenly felt very fortunate.


    How did he find such a wonderful girl?


    Smiling at Qin Yue, he said, ¡°I feel so lucky to have met you.¡±


    Suddenly, Chen Cang asked thoughtfully, ¡°Let me ask you something, how long have you liked me?¡±


    Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang, her face turning red, ¡°Not that long!¡±


    ¡°Just¡­


    two years and 310 days!¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes, ¡°That was when we just started at the hospital!¡±


    Qin Yue said with a grin, ¡°I liked you the moment you arrived.


    Or why do you think I didn¡¯t find a boyfriend?


    So many people are after me, a girl as outstanding as I am!¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly asked, ¡°What if I had never confessed to you?¡±


    Qin Yue scoffed, ¡°Then I would have played hardball!¡±


    The two smiled at each other and burst into laughter.


    After a while, Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°This car isn¡¯t mine.


    It¡¯s a gift.


    I did a successful plastic surgery for Zheng Guotan¡¯s wife, and they gave me a car as a gift.¡±


    Upon hearing that it wasn¡¯t their own money being spent, Qin Yue immediately hopped into the passenger seat, shouting, ¡°Drive, Chen Cang!


    Destination: Haidilao!¡±


    Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°This girl, what a tightwad!¡±


    But he said with a smile, ¡°Alrighty!


    Here we go¡­


    Drive!¡±


    The car started, engines revving, and they drove off in style¡­


    At this moment, Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun had just come downstairs to witness the scene, their expressions instantly changing.


    ¡°Old Qin, was that our girl who just got into the Porsche?¡±


    Old Qin nodded.


    The couple looked at each other, their brows furrowing.


    Had a mistress appeared?

 Chapter 609 - Chapter 609 Chapter 609 This Time, A Loss!

    ?Chapter 609: Chapter 609: This Time, A Loss!


    Chapter 609: Chapter 609: This Time, A Loss!


    These two Haidilao restaurants in Anyang city seem to be always so crowded!


    Every time I come, it¡¯s packed with people.


    After Chen Cang arrived, he had already asked the waiter to reserve a spot in advance.


    Qin Yue asked curiously, ¡°Who else is coming?¡±


    That¡¯s when Chen Cang shared about the ¡°Hotpot Support Squad,¡± which made Qin Yue feel delighted inside.


    It seemed like any of Chen Cang¡¯s accomplishments were her own, giving her a great sense of achievement.


    Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°How about we all go together during the national competition?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yue¡¯s eyes lit up with a smile, ¡°Can I?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Of course, you can, I¡¯m just worried¡­


    you might get bored sitting there, and I can¡¯t be with you all the time.¡±


    After hearing this, Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but laugh and looked at Chen Cang sidelong, ¡°Let¡¯s forget it then, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll disturb your rest at night¡­


    affecting your performance, it¡¯s better if I stay home.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    During the conversation, Cui Yuanwu and the others started arriving one after the other, hugging bottles of wine, ¡°Ah, I¡¯m exhausted.¡±


    Ning Haosen glanced at the sweaty Cui Yuanwu and said indifferently, ¡°You have kidney yang deficiency!¡±


    Instead of getting angry, Cui Yuanwu got interested, ¡°Oh?


    Old Ning!


    You know about this too?


    Now that you mention it, I do feel a bit like I have kidney yang deficiency.


    Do you have any good solutions?¡±


    Having said that, they both saw Chen Cang approaching.


    When Cui Yuanwu saw Chen Cang and Qin Yue, he immediately smiled, ¡°This must be the younger sister-in-law, right?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and introduced everyone one by one.


    Gradually, everyone arrived, but the directors didn¡¯t come.


    Probably they felt that their presence might restrain the younger crowd, so they simply didn¡¯t show up.


    A few of the older directors also arranged a separate gathering.


    The arrival of Meng Xi undoubtedly attracted everyone¡¯s attention, dressed today in clothes exuding youthful vigor.


    Chen Cang quickly stood up to introduce, ¡°Qin Yue, this is Teacher Meng.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Meng, this is my fianc??e, Qin Yue.¡±


    When Chen Cang mentioned the word fianc??e, he emphasized it, signaling to Teacher Meng to be careful!


    However, who could have imagined that Teacher Meng¡¯s next move was just like a proper teacher should behave, dignified and mature, looking at Qin Yue, ¡°I often hear little Chen talk about you.


    I¡¯m glad to finally meet you today.


    You are very beautiful.


    When is your wedding?¡±


    Qin Yue, being complimented like that by Meng Xi, was a bit embarrassed, ¡°Hello, Director Meng, thank you for your help with Chen Cang.¡±


    Meng Xi smiled, ¡°We¡¯re all young people, there¡¯s no need for formal titles.


    Just call me Sister Meng.


    Let¡¯s sit together, shall we?


    Little Chen, you go sit over there.¡±


    Chen Cang, watching the two getting along, abruptly changed his expression, ¡°No, no, no¡­¡±


    At that moment, Qin Yue also turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Correct, Chen Cang, you go sit over there.¡±


    Seeing the situation, Chen Cang sighed helplessly.


    Cui Yuanwu made a point of looking at Chen Cang, ¡°We can have a drink tonight, right?


    I specially took a taxi over here!¡±


    The few male doctors around also started egging on, ¡°That¡¯s right, we have to drink a bit tonight!¡±


    Chen Cang laughed awkwardly, ¡°I drove here today.¡±


    Qin Yue smiled warmly, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you drink, I¡¯ll drive.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Cui Yuanwu immediately burst into laughter, ¡°Haha, see how good the younger sister-in-law is!


    Not only beautiful but also thoughtful.


    Where else can you find such a perfect wife?¡±


    Being talked about like this also made Qin Yue happy inside.


    When young people gather for a meal, they let loose, daring to say anything and talk about everything.


    And throughout the night, Chen Cang was on tenterhooks, afraid his little white rabbit Qin Yue would be led astray by the big bad wolf Meng Xi.


    But seeing them chatting happily, he also breathed a sigh of relief.


    By the end of the evening, Ning Haosen and a few others looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen Cang, we¡¯re all counting on you to bring us good news.


    When you go to the capital, don¡¯t let us down in Dongyang, we¡¯re relying on you!¡±


    ¡°Exactly¡­


    you eliminated us, so you have a responsibility to us¡­¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t make it into the top ten, I¡¯ll say that your score of 100 is definitely the result of nepotism, understand?¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Cang too had a bit to drink that night, being among his peers, everyone was more relaxed.


    Cui Yuanwu or Ning Haosen, all of these guys were pretty decent.


    Chen Cang brazenly boasted, ¡°What¡¯s so special about top ten¡­


    I¡¯ll bring back the first place for you guys!¡±


    ¡°Not only do I want to get the first place, but I¡­


    I also want my Teacher Meng to get the second¡­¡±


    Hot pot is a great thing, so is alcohol; when these two come together, there really is a chemical reaction.


    This round of drinks brought everyone closer together.


    By the time the party broke up, it was already around ten in the evening.


    Chen Cang had to admit he was quite drunk, staggering a bit on his way to the restroom.


    However¡­


    a thought suddenly occurred to him!


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    How about using a stamina potion to sober up?


    He looked at his system and saw neatly lined up more than twenty bottles of stamina potion.


    After much hesitation, Chen Cang used one.


    After using it, he immediately felt much clearer in the head.


    Chen Cang was stunned for a moment.


    Could this really work?


    This is too miraculous, isn¡¯t it?


    The stamina potion even had the effect of dispelling drunkenness!


    No sooner had the surprise passed than Chen Cang began to feel regrets.


    Because it was a waste!


    The drinks tonight were fine wines Cui Yuanwu had brought from his father-in-law¡¯s house, and the stamina potion was a treasure he cherished¡­


    Using both, wasn¡¯t this just a complete waste?


    No more drinks, and no more stamina potion either!


    Wasting two good things for nothing!


    Such a pity!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help wanting to slap himself in the face.


    Chen Cang helped everyone into the taxi, while Meng Xi, who hadn¡¯t drunk, still drove her big G that evening, accelerating away into the distance.


    At last, Chen Cang and Qin Yue got into the car.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Qin Yue¡­


    what did Teacher Meng say to you tonight?¡±


    Qin Yue smiled, ¡°Why?


    Feeling guilty?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback.


    What do I have to feel guilty about?


    Worrying is more like it¡­


    ¡°Just kidding, why would I feel guilty?¡±


    Qin Yue smiled again, ¡°Just chit-chatting, about everything, about you, about the competition¡­¡±


    ¡°Meng sister is a really nice person!¡±


    Qin Yue dropped Chen Cang off at the apartment he rented, but the area was already full of parked cars, with no spots available outside, so she just drove to her own residential compound.


    Just after she had parked the car and got out,


    Qin Yue locked the car and was about to turn around.


    She suddenly saw her father and mother also park their car and turn around.


    Their gazes met, and the scene became somewhat awkward.


    Qin Yue smiled and said, ¡°Dad, Mom, you guys just got back too?¡±


    Ji Ruyun cleared her throat and with a smile said, ¡°Yueyue, nice car¡­


    Whose is it?¡±


    Old Qin saw Qin Yue getting out of a Porsche and his face darkened at once!


    Chen Cang was quite nice; how could you, girl, be so materialistic?


    Thinking this, Old Qin said with a grim face, ¡°We¡¯ll talk upstairs.¡±


    Qin Yue was dumbfounded.


    What¡­


    did Old Qin swallow gunpowder today?

    Chapter 610: Chapter 610: You Can¡¯t Despise the Poor and Love the Rich!


    ¡°`


    Qin Xiaoyuan had already imagined a series of melodramatic television plotlines.


    Qin Yue, on the other hand, was completely clueless as she followed them into the building.


    In the elevator, the atmosphere was quite serious for a while; not a single person spoke.


    Ji Ruyun couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh as well.


    She wasn¡¯t foolish; she knew Chen Cang definitely couldn¡¯t afford such a car.


    Not to mention the Porsche itself, but what about that license plate, ¡°Dong A66666¡±?


    Is it something money alone could secure?


    With this thought, Ji Ruyun, no matter what, felt a bit of a sigh escape her.


    Little Chen was pretty good, wasn¡¯t he?


    It was all fine today¡­


    What¡¯s going on now?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã?


    The family reached their floor, each lost in their own thoughts.


    To be honest, neither of them had really eaten well tonight.


    The taste at Kris¡¯s was not bad.


    But compared to Little Chen, what was that meal worth?


    In Anyang City, Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun were considered part of the middle to upper class, whether in terms of income or their work and lifestyle, they could be very dignified.


    Exactly for this reason, both hoped even more that Qin Yue would find a reliable boy and not someone from a wealthy and powerful family.


    All this time, both had a pretty good impression of Chen Cang.


    Upon entering the house, Qin Xiaoyuan got serious.


    He sat down on the sofa straight away, not even bothering to change his clothes.


    ¡°Come, sit down!¡± Qin Xiaoyuan said to Ji Ruyun and Qin Yue.


    Qin Yue was utterly bewildered.


    She couldn¡¯t remember the last time she saw her father like this.


    She obediently sat down.


    Ji Ruyun also let out a sigh, not adding anything else.


    After a while, Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, ¡°Yueyue, even though I don¡¯t know what kind of person you like, what kind of life you want in the future, I think you should seriously think it over.¡±


    ¡°There are many things that money can¡¯t replace.


    Meeting the right person, being with someone you like, is more important than anything else.¡±


    Having said this, Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, ¡°I know that this is your personal matter, but¡­


    Daddy still feels that Little Chen is really not bad¡­¡±


    Qin Yue was confused, ¡°Dad¡­


    What are you trying to say?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Qin Yue, ¡°Where did you go today?¡±


    Qin Yue, ¡°I went to Haidilao for hot pot.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan, ¡°With whom?¡±


    Qin Yue felt her father was being rather inexplicable today, ¡°Who else could it be¡­


    With Chen Cang.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, ¡°Whose car is that downstairs?


    How did you drive it here?


    Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s Chen Cang¡¯s.¡±


    Qin Yue took out the car keys, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not Chen Cang¡¯s.


    How could he afford a car like that?


    Didn¡¯t you see the license plate?


    Dong A66666.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, ¡°You¡¯re still lying to me¡­¡±


    Qin Yue was utterly clueless, ¡°Lying about what?


    Dad, just say it straight¡­


    I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan with a dark expression, ¡°If Little Chen can¡¯t afford a car, you won¡¯t want Little Chen anymore?


    Yueyue, let me tell you the truth, you can¡¯t despise the poor and love the rich¡­


    That Little Chen is a man with potential!¡±


    There!


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Qin Yue finally understood.


    Instantly amused and bemused, she said, ¡°Mom, Dad, what are you guys thinking, huh?


    Am I that sort of person?¡±


    ¡°The car definitely isn¡¯t Chen Cang¡¯s.


    After Chen Cang finished the surgery for Zheng Guotan¡¯s wife, they gave it to him as a gift.


    It will be transferred to his name in a couple of days.


    Tonight he¡­


    he drank too much, so after I sent him back, there were no parking spots downstairs.


    I just drove it here!¡±


    Qin Yue was somewhat speechless at her parents¡¯ peculiar train of thought.


    After listening to their daughter, Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun exchanged glances before they couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    Ji Ruyun said, ¡°I knew my girl wasn¡¯t like that, you didn¡¯t believe it¡­¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan cleared his throat awkwardly, ¡°Isn¡¯t this just me being worried?¡±


    Qin Yue rolled her eyes, ¡°Mom, Dad, here I am¡­


    Not even married yet, and you¡¯re already siding with Chen Cang?


    What will happen after I get married!?¡±


    In her mind, Qin Yue imagined a scenario where, after she and Chen Cang had an argument, he wouldn¡¯t go home but stay at her parents¡¯ place instead¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°`


    ¡­


    After Chen Cang returned, he freshened up and prepared for rest.


    Suddenly, he heard an emergency call from Xiao Lin.


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen, come to the ER quickly, a patient¡¯s tracheal intubation isn¡¯t working, and their blood oxygen saturation is dropping!¡±


    Xiao Lin¡¯s voice was very urgent.


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang hurriedly responded, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be right there.


    You call the respiratory department to see if they can take over.


    Who¡¯s on duty today?¡±


    Xiao Lin replied, ¡°It¡¯s Dr.


    Shi¡¯s night shift today.


    She¡¯s been out of sorts, tried intubating several times without success, and everyone else has tried too, but none could succeed.


    Now the patient has already lost consciousness¡­¡±


    Fortunately, Chen Cang lived close to the hospital, just a few minutes¡¯ run away.


    He rushed downstairs in a flurry and ran towards the hospital.


    Now, Chen Cang felt incredibly grateful that he had taken a physical stimulant earlier.


    Otherwise, if he were drunk, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything, let alone perform intubation.


    Now he understood why Director Li Baoshan did not drink.


    It was a matter of responsibility.


    Chen Cang¡¯s arrival time at the hospital was actually not much different from that of an emergency consultation.


    Typically, when emergency department sends an emergency consultation request to another department, they are required to arrive within ten minutes.


    But it took Chen Cang only about five or six minutes to get to the hospital.


    Panting heavily, he ran in.


    Xiao Lin was already waiting at the door, holding out a white coat.


    After Chen Cang put it on, he went straight into the resuscitation room.


    As soon as he entered, he heard the continuous alarms of the cardiac monitor.


    Chen Cang, familiar with this alarm, froze for a moment!


    The patient was gone?!!


    He saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed, very obese!


    Lying there, his chin was completely obscured, with rolls of fat on his stomacha€¡±he must have weighed over three hundred pounds.


    Moreover, the man was not tall.


    Lying on the resuscitation bed, his life hung in the balance.


    Lele was constantly performing chest compressions at his side.


    Shi Na was kneeling at the head of the bed, preparing for tracheal intubation, drenched in sweat with even her temples soaked.


    The area around the head of the bed was in complete disarray.


    There were two or three other doctors anxiously watching Shi Na.


    Clearly, they were having trouble with the tracheal intubation.


    As Chen Cang thought this, he subconsciously glanced at Xiao Lin.


    Xiao Lin quickly got up and handed over gloves; Chen Cang donned them, his eyes fixed intently on the cardiac monitor.


    There were waveforms on the monitor, but¡­


    they were clearly the irregular waveforms caused by compressions, not actual heartbeats.


    The blood oxygen saturation was only 88!


    The heart had stopped!


    The patient was in extreme danger¡­


    Chen Cang inadvertently glanced at the patient¡¯s neck and immediately understood why this was happening.


    It was a typical difficult airway.


    This kind of short neck, coupled with severe obesity, was the type of patient all doctors dreaded.


    Difficult airway!


    But without the tracheal intubation, they couldn¡¯t put the patient on a ventilator, and there was no way to ensure the blood oxygen levels.


    It wouldn¡¯t be long before the patient¡­


    might really be gone¡­


    No, that¡¯s not right!


    Perhaps the patient was already gone, and what the medical staff were doing now was trying their best to resuscitate him.


    After all¡­


    the heartbeat had already stopped!

 Chapter 611 - Chapter 611 Chapter 611 This is my father-in-law

    ?Chapter 611: Chapter 611: This is my father-in-law Chapter 611: Chapter 611: This is my father-in-law The resuscitation room was chaotic for a while!


    Chen Cang said to Shi Na, ¡°Ms.


    Shi, let me do it!¡±


    Shi Na, who was struggling, paused and stepped down.


    She rolled up her sleeves, wiped the sweat off her face, and were those tears¡­?


    Chen Cang noticed the tears in Shi Na¡¯s eyes and was momentarily taken aback, ¡°Ms.


    Shi¡­


    you?¡±


    Shi Na shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m fine, just a bit fatigued from staring at the laryngoscope.¡±


    After speaking, Shi Na moved aside.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t doubt her words and stood up to move forward.


    The difficulty of intubating a patient with a short neck was indeed too high, which had caused Shi Na to sweat profusely.


    Seeing Chen Cang arrive, everyone¡¯s faces lit up with joy, not knowing when it had started, but Chen Cang had suddenly become a pillar of strength in the emergency department, someone they could rely on during critical moments!


    Chen Cang held the laryngoscope in one hand, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í¨À?.§ã¦Ï


    After composing himself, just as he was about to start the procedure, Shi Na suddenly frowned, ¡°Have you been drinking?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°No, it won¡¯t affect me, I just ate some ¡®Drunken Peanuts.''¡±


    Shi Na: ¡­


    The people around them were also speechless.


    If he had been drinking, continuing the procedure would worry everyone.


    Tracheal intubation isn¡¯t without its risks, and improper handling can be very dangerous.


    Chen Cang was actually quite speechless too; after using the strength potion, indeed, although the effects of alcohol were gone, for some reason, his breath still retained the smell of alcohol, which was quite annoying¡­


    Definitely because the product wasn¡¯t mature yet!


    Chen Cang steadied himself and inserted the laryngoscope through the mouth into the pharynx, carefully searching.


    ?¦Ï???.§ã?


    The doctor from the respiratory department cautiously said, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, can you find the ¡®life gate¡¯?¡±


    This was a saying everyone used.


    Because, during tracheal intubation, if the vocal cords could be seen, it was like finding the ¡°life gate!¡±


    Indeed, for tracheal intubation, the vocal cords are the life gate!


    Chen Cang frowned, shook his head, and said in a low voice, ¡°I can¡¯t see it!¡±


    The difficulty was indeed significant!


    Chen Cang held his breath and concentrated, continuing to delve deeper.


    As he lifted with his left hand and applied a gentle force with his right, finally, the vocal cords were exposed!


    The process might look effortless and simple to talk about, but Chen Cang¡¯s left hand had exerted significant strength to lift the vocal cords.


    Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief!


    Thank goodness for the laryngoscope, or else the difficulty would have been even greater.


    Shi Na and others watched carefully around him, and seeing Chen Cang expose the vocal cords, they couldn¡¯t help but excitedly clench their fists and wave them vigorously!


    Lele cried out, ¡°I can¡¯t do it anymore, switch someone else, I don¡¯t have the strength in my hands.¡±


    Indeed, since Chen Cang had come in, the external chest compressions hadn¡¯t stopped for even a minute.


    Lucky that Lele was strong and robust, not just anyone could have continued in his place.


    Little Lin heard this and quickly stepped forward to start the compressions!


    Honestly, Little Lin was rather slender, and in comparison to the man lying on the bed, he was as thin as a stick.


    But Little Lin was surprisingly strong.


    And his chest compressions were incredibly accurate.


    The ribcage undulated continuously!


    The patient¡¯s body fats also shook relentlessly, rhythmic though it appeared, yet¡­


    this made the difficulty of intubation rise again.


    The external chest compressions certainly couldn¡¯t be stopped!


    But the intubation also had to be carried out immediately.


    The respiratory doctor on the side noticed the difficulty and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, shall I hold it steady for you?¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Pass me the tube.¡±


    The other party nodded and handed it over!


    Chen Cang acted with quick eyes and hands, securely holding the patient¡¯s head and neck with one hand while grasping the catheter with the right, swiftly inserting the tube!


    The entire process took less than 5 seconds!


    Chen Cang turned around, ¡°Ventilator!¡±


    Lele¡¯s eyes lit up as he looked at Chen Cang and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Dr.


    Chen is really effective!¡±


    As he spoke, he quickly connected the ventilator.


    The respiratory consultant behind him also couldn¡¯t help but praise.


    Meanwhile, Shi Na breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°Thank you, Xiao Chen.¡±


    At that moment, Shi Na suddenly realized that her back was soaked with sweat, out of sheer fright.


    Several nurses quickly began the next steps, connecting the ventilator and adjusting its settings, while Xiao Lin, Lele, and the others took turns performing chest compressions.


    Shi Na finally regained some composure and started giving instructions.


    ¡°Epinephrine!¡±


    One dose¡­


    Two doses¡­


    ¡­


    In total, five doses of epinephrine were used during the uninterrupted ten minutes of chest compressions!


    Lele suddenly shouted, ¡°We¡¯ve got it, we¡¯ve got it!¡±


    Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a heartbeat appearing on the cardiac monitor.


    Shi Na¡¯s eyes lit up instantly.


    Had they finally brought the patient back?


    Chen Cang quickly took out a flashlight to check the patient¡¯s pupils, only to find both pupils dilated, with no response to light!


    Chen Cang cursed under his breath and said to the others, ¡°Pupillary light reflex has disappeared on both sides, and the pupils are dilated.


    It¡¯s serious!


    What happened to the patient?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Shi Na¡¯s stance faltered slightly, and Lele quickly supported her, ¡°Sister Na, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Shi Na braced herself on the bed frame and sat down to one side, ¡°I¡¯m fine, just a bit exhausted.


    I suspect the patient has had a cerebral hemorrhage!¡±


    With that statement, a silence fell over the room.


    Cerebral hemorrhage, coupled with cardiac arrest and such poor oxygen saturationa€¡±the prognosis would be surprising if it were good!


    Although nobody voiced it out loud¡­


    Under these circumstances, the prognosis was clearly very poor, and they might need to prepare for the worst.


    Seeing that there was nothing more to do, the respiratory consultant left after making his presence known, as he still had to be on duty.


    Seeing Shi Na in such a state, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Professor Shi, I¡¯ll go talk to the patient¡¯s family.


    You should rest early tonight; I¡¯ll take over your shift.¡±


    That¡¯s right!


    Although he did not know why Shi Na was so fatigued, she was clearly in no condition to take a night shift.


    After speaking, Chen Cang made to get up and leave, but at that moment Shi Na shook her head and said, ¡°Xiao Chen, this is my¡­


    father-in-law.


    I¡¯ll go explain things to the family.¡±


    At her words, everyone was taken aback!


    All eyes incredulously turned towards Shi Na.


    No wonder Shi Na had seemed so panickeda€¡±facing such an event would unsettle anyone.


    As the saying goes, physicians cannot heal themselves.


    Many people tend to panic when dealing with their own relatives.


    Chen Cang nodded.


    However, Shi Na still said, ¡°Well¡­


    I¡¯ll also stay for the night shift tonight, let me explain the patient¡¯s condition to you.¡±


    ¡°The patient is a 62-year-old male, brought in by ambulance to the hospital half an hour ago.


    He experienced severe headaches at noon, which gradually worsened.


    There was no vomiting.


    Today at work they didn¡¯t take it seriously and didn¡¯t tell me.


    After dinner this evening, he suddenly vomited out his food, and was then sent to the emergency department by ambulance.¡±


    ¡°After finding out, I suspected cerebral hemorrhage and wanted to perform a cranial CT scan.


    He has a long history of hypertension and diabetes, and is currently taking Spironolactone and Metformin¡­


    but he fell into a coma and then had a cardiac arrest, with no time for the scan!¡±


    Shi Na fluently narrated the patient¡¯s regular medications and vital signs in detail.


    Finally, she added, ¡°The cause of the episode was¡­


    emotional agitation.¡±

 Chapter 612 - Chapter 612 Chapter 612 Divorce (Part 1)

    ?Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Divorce (Part 1) Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Divorce (Part 1) Although the patient¡¯s heart had resumed beating, this did not mean he was safe.


    The blood pressure is very low now, and Xiaolin has already begun to prepare norepinephrine and other blood pressure-raising drugs, striving to fuel his heart.


    There was already cerebral hemorrhage, and after the cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation just now, hypoxia¡­


    hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy was a certainty.


    And, to be honest, the patient was at risk of a cardiac standstill at any time!


    Shi Na couldn¡¯t finish her words, as tears had already started flowing.


    Chen Cang and the surrounding nurses were stunned!


    Because in their hearts, Shi Na was an iron lady!


    She wouldn¡¯t step away from the front line even with light injuries.


    Chen Cang had never seen Teacher Shi cry before.


    And now, she was crying so heartbreakingly!


    What happened?


    Upon seeing this, Lele hurried over to comfort her, ¡°Sister Na, what¡¯s wrong?


    Hasn¡¯t he been rescued?¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í¨À?.§ã¦Ï


    The crying echoed in the resuscitation room, drawing the side glances of those around her.


    It was the first time everyone had seen a doctor cry so sadly!


    Just at that moment, the door to the resuscitation room was pushed open, and an old lady came in.


    She heard Shi Na¡¯s crying and was immediately startled!


    To be honest, her first thought was whether the old man was gone?!


    Seeing this, Chen Cang quickly stepped out, letting Xiaolin and Lele comfort Shi Na.


    After Chen Cang went out, he noticed four or five people standing outside.


    Two children, a boy and a girl, around seven or eight years old that Chen Cang had seen before.


    Sometimes when Shi Na was on duty during the weekends, she would bring the children to the hospital and have them stay in the duty room.


    The two children were very obedient and sensible!


    But now, they stood there, obviously a little uneasy.


    Seeing Chen Cang, they asked cautiously, ¡°Uncle Chen¡­


    why is my mom crying?


    Is¡­


    is Grandpa gone?¡±


    At this, the eyes of both children became misty.


    They had visited the hospital before and had seen Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang shook his head and smiled, ¡°No worries, your mom was just scared.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.?0


    Your grandpa has been resuscitated.¡±


    In addition to the two children, there was an old lady who was probably Shi Na¡¯s mother-in-law, and two middle-aged people, likely the eldest brother and younger aunt.


    Chen Cang had heard about Shi Na¡¯s family affairs.


    Shi Na¡¯s mother-in-law used to be a minor official, who liked to be in charge even after retirement.


    The father-in-law, who was a chef, would do all the household chores, including taking care of the children.


    The mother-in-law looked down on the father-in-law, and when educating the children she often said to them, ¡°Don¡¯t be like your dad, being a chef is not respectable; you must work hard and make something of yourselves.¡±


    The father-in-law didn¡¯t like to argue and was always smiling, very genial with everyone he met.


    Of the three children in the family, the eldest brother was a section chief in a state-owned enterprise, and the younger aunt had married quite ordinarily, often coming back to ask her mother for financial help.


    As for Shi Na¡¯s husband, he was quite spirited.


    With the support and encouragement of his mother-in-law, and being provided for by Shi Na, he completed his doctorate and went abroad for a postdoctoral fellowship.


    Indeed, a doctorate comes with a salary, and a postdoctoral fellowship is also a job position, which means a decent annual income.


    But!


    Not a single penny of that money had ever been sent home.


    When the eldest son got married, it was the father-in-law and mother-in-law who bought the house for him.


    The conditions of the bride¡¯s family were good, so the mother-in-law hardly ever felt stifled and rarely visited them.


    On the contrary, when her second son got married, Shi Na¡¯s family even shelled out 200,000 yuan to help buy a house.


    However, just in the third year of marriage, because her husband¡¯s job was unsatisfactory and he had problems managing interpersonal relationships at work, he wanted to pursue a PhD.


    As soon as the mother-in-law heard of her son¡¯s aspirations, she immediately encouraged his decision!


    In fact, none of this was a big deal; at the time, Shi Na was also very supportive of her husband¡¯s ambition.


    Originally, Shi Na¡¯s husband was also worried because they still had to pay the mortgage for the house, over five thousand a month.


    Although it wasn¡¯t much, and there wasn¡¯t much pressure when both were working.


    But at that time, the mother-in-law said she would use her retirement pension to pay off the mortgage and support her son¡¯s further education.


    Sure, her maternal protectiveness was understandable.


    But as soon as he left, she went back on her word.


    The mother-in-law directly said her son needed money and transferred it to him.


    Shi Na felt helpless; life had to go on, especially since their child was only three or four years old at the time and didn¡¯t cost much.


    But ever since her husband left, Shi Na lived with her in-laws, and the mother-in-law¡¯s spending was even higher.


    Shi Na did all the cooking, yet the mother-in-law always complained that the food wasn¡¯t good enough, accusing Shi Na of mistreating the elderly couple.


    Sometimes she even called her son to say that all the salary went to Shi Na, but the food she cooked lacked nutrition.


    The child was growing, how could this be neglected?


    Now that the children were of age to attend kindergarten, Shi Na, feeling the financial pinch, wanted to send them to a public one.


    But upon hearing this, the mother-in-law felt it was a disgrace and insisted on sending them to an expensive private kindergarten!


    This led to higher expenses.


    After a dispute, Shi Na gave up; the mother-in-law was too domineering, and her husband was completely passive, always siding with his mother during conflicts.


    Although he wasn¡¯t exactly a ¡°mommy¡¯s boy,¡± he¡­


    wasn¡¯t much better.


    Her husband didn¡¯t contribute financially to the family, leaving Shi Na so overworked she didn¡¯t even dare to fall ill!


    If one were to ask who was the most exhausted or the most dedicated in the emergency department, Chen Cang could say without hesitation that it was Shi Na!


    After all, she worked tirelessly, was extremely responsible, and had the most patients under her care.


    Also, Shi Na was very accountable, and her medical records were rarely scrutinized by the medical insurance department because¡­you really couldn¡¯t find any fault with her work.


    a€|


    a€|


    The elderly lady, hearing Chen Cang say there was nothing wrong, also breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°As long as there¡¯s nothing wrong!


    As long as there¡¯s nothing wrong!¡±


    After saying this, she turned to the girl and said, ¡°Call your second brother, there¡¯s no need for him to come back, just say everything is fine at home.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the woman didn¡¯t hesitate at all and immediately reached for the phone to make the call.


    But her eldest son hurriedly stopped her, ¡°Wait, let Wen Bo come back.


    With the house in such a mess, if he doesn¡¯t come back now, when will he?¡±


    Upon hearing this, the old lady glared at her eldest son, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about this, we still have Shi Na at home, don¡¯t we?


    What good is his return, better that he continues his studies abroad.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man grew somewhat angry, ¡°Mom, do you see how tired your daughter-in-law is?


    Don¡¯t go too far.¡±


    ¡°Why has dad gotten like this?


    To be honest, if it wasn¡¯t for the care and attention the daughter-in-law has given, could dad have lasted until now?¡±


    ¡°You ignore the children every day, Tian Tian, I don¡¯t even know what you stay busy with?


    You¡¯re aware of dad¡¯s health issues, aren¡¯t you?


    Leaving everything at home to her, how can she not be overwhelmed?¡±


    Honestly, as the eldest, the man had long been fed up with his younger brother and mother¡¯s behavior.


    But after all, it was a matter between two households, so he couldn¡¯t really say much.


    ¡°By the way, you mentioned dad got stimulated today?


    What exactly happened?¡±


    The old lady was scolded by her son and her face showed her indignation and anger!


    At this moment, Shi Na¡¯s son, holding back tears, said, ¡°Today dad called grandpa, saying he wants a divorce from mom¡­


    he doesn¡¯t want us anymore¡­


    wah¡­¡±

 Chapter 613 - Chapter 613 Chapter 613 Divorce (Part 2)

    ?Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Divorce (Part 2) Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Divorce (Part 2) A sentence!


    It stunned everyone present.


    Divorce?


    Wen Bo wants to divorce Shi Na?


    The elder brother, upon hearing this, immediately cursed uncontrollably, ¡°He really feeds his conscience to the dogs!¡±


    ¡°Look at this, this is the son you¡¯ve raised!¡±


    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m laying it out here today.


    If your son can find a girl better than Shi Na, I¡­


    I!¡±


    The man was beside himself with indignant anger.


    At this moment, the woman said, ¡°Elder brother, whose side are you on right now?¡±


    The man¡¯s face changed, and he pounded his chest, saying loudly, ¡°I stand by my conscience!¡±


    ¡°I was wondering why dad was fine today and how he ended up like this.


    It turns out it was that bastard who angered him.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã0


    Are you even human?¡±


    ¡°Your wife has endured hardship, hasn¡¯t been willing to buy a new piece of clothing for years, managing this family for so many years, and now you¡¯ve got the nerve to divorce her?¡±


    ¡°Are you a f****** beast?¡±


    ¡°Fine!


    You¡¯re amazing.


    Don¡¯t ever call me elder brother again; I don¡¯t have such a beast for a brother!¡±


    At this time, Chen Cang directly called Qin Yue, telling her to hurry to the emergency room.


    After coming in, she saw the chaotic emergency hall and the children crying with snot and tears.


    Chen Cang told her to take Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan to the on-call room.


    As soon as the old lady heard this, she immediately objected, ¡°These are my grandsons; what are you doing?¡±


    Just at that moment, Shi Na came out, ¡°Mom, rest assured, I¡¯ve agreed to the divorce.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t hold back your son¡¯s rising career.


    I will consult a lawyer about settling the property in a couple of days!¡±


    Shi Na¡¯s face was covered in tear streaks, and her eyes were red from crying.


    She had too many illusions about happiness, having waited for a very long time¡­


    But in the end, it was just someone else¡¯s illusion.


    In the past, the father-in-law was a decent man, caring towards Shi Na, and the kids were obedient.


    Shi Na thought that with a bit of hard work and extra effort, every household has its rough patch.


    It has passed!


    It will be fine!


    However, she never expected to be brought down not by an external hurdle, but by a wall within her own home!


    Thinking of this, Shi Na had lost all hope.


    Now it¡¯s certain that her father-in-law won¡¯t wake up, and if he does, it¡¯ll be a close call.


    This family?


    There¡¯s nothing left to pine for.


    Seeing this, the elder brother hurriedly said, ¡°Sister-in-law¡­


    stay calm, let me talk to you properly about Wen Bo¡­¡±


    The elder brother had an idea.


    Shi Na smiled, ¡°Elder brother, I appreciate your kindness.


    I, Shi Na, am not a woman who can¡¯t find another man.


    Besides, I¡¯ve been living without a man for five or six years already; I¡¯m not incapable!¡±


    Indeed!


    Shi Na was very capable!


    After saying this, she turned to Qin Yue and said, ¡°Xiao Qin, help me watch the kids; I need to explain a patient¡¯s condition.¡±


    Qin Yue nodded quickly; she used to often play with Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan.


    After everyone had left, Shi Na looked around at the people gathered and smiled, ¡°Xiao Chen, help me take care of the other patients; I¡¯m going to talk with the family.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded!


    To be honest, at this moment, Shi Na suddenly felt a great relief wash over her.


    Sad?


    Definitely sad?


    The conscience has been fed to dogs, heartache, such a pity!


    But if she could escape from that home, everything seemed to become trivial to Shi Na.


    What conniving mother-in-law?


    What troublesome sister-in-law?


    All can piss off!


    Shi Na has never relied on anyone to get where she is today!


    It seemed as if Shi Na transformed in an instant into that independent female doctor as she said to several people, ¡°Follow me to the office; I need to talk about a patient¡¯s condition.¡±


    The old lady and the girl exchanged glances, then looked at the eldest son and entered the office.


    Shi Na said to the three:


    ¡°Right now, the patient is suspected to have a brain hemorrhage, but we can¡¯t just rashly perform tests.


    Just a while ago, his heart stopped, and we only just revived him.


    His condition is still unstable¡­¡±


    ¡°In short, the patient¡¯s situation is quite perilous.


    Without getting into the ICU, he is certain to die; entering the ICU simply gives him a chance of survival.


    However, the size of this chance is uncertain; we have to see how the treatment goes.¡±


    ¡°But the neurosurgical department¡¯s advice is to carry out the tests as quickly as possible to get a complete diagnosis.¡±


    ¡°The worst-case scenario is that he might pass away on the way there.¡±


    ¡°ICU expenses are very high, which you all should know by now, so make your decision.¡±


    The eldest son nodded, ¡°Sister-in-law, send him to the ICU.


    We are all family here; we understand that money can be earned back, but once a person is gone, they¡¯re truly gone.


    I¡¯ll figure out a way to handle the costs; don¡¯t worry about it.¡±


    ¡°Also, you don¡¯t have to pay a dime for this time.¡±


    Shi Na shook her head, ¡°My father-in-law has been good to me.


    The part I should pay, I will still pay.


    Big brother, you have a family to feed too; it¡¯s not easy for anyone.


    I¡¯m not divorced yet, so this is still my duty.¡±


    The man sighed after hearing Shi Na¡¯s words, ¡°Sister-in-law¡­


    my family has wronged you.¡±


    Shi Na shook her head and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s fate.¡±


    Indeed!


    Some things are ultimately down to fate.


    What¡¯s yours will eventually be yours, and what¡¯s not can¡¯t be forced.¡±


    The old lady remained silent, without uttering a word.


    The patient was also sent to the ICU that day.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day, in the evening, Shi Na¡¯s husband, Zhang Wen Bo, arrived.


    He was a middle-aged man who seemed very proud.


    After arriving, he bypassed the duty doctor directly and asked to speak with the head physician to understand his father¡¯s condition.


    Li Baoshan did not give him the time of day and outright said he had no time.


    Shi Na¡¯s situation had already spread, and the whole hospital was united against him, not a single person showed a friendly face to him.


    This infuriated Zhang Wen Bo!


    He himself was a postdoctoral researcher, the kind from the USA!


    Yet he was rejected at a mere provincial secondary hospital¡¯s emergency department.


    He called Shi Na, but she didn¡¯t answer, and she had already moved out with the child, staying at a hotel, with Qin Yue helping to take care of the child.


    Meanwhile, Chen Cang took Shi Na to find Huang Weiyan.


    This was the best lawyer in An Yang city!


    After hearing of Shi Na¡¯s situation, Huang Weiyan was also infuriated and immediately decided to help win the case.


    He even reached out to friends to investigate evidence of Zhang Wen Bo¡¯s infidelity during the marriage.


    Looking at Huang Weiyan, Shi Na sighed, ¡°Lawyer Huang, I don¡¯t have many extravagant hopes; I just hope to get custody of the child.¡±


    Huang Weiyan nodded, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave this matter to me, Dr.


    Shi.


    What belongs to you won¡¯t be missing a bit!


    And¡­


    as for the joint marital property, I will do my best to fight for you.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Wen Bo is too much of a scoundrel, sigh¡­


    it won¡¯t be easy for you to raise the child alone.¡±


    Shi Na sighed, ¡°Thank you!¡±


    ¡°Actually¡­


    I¡¯ve already gotten used to it.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    On the other hand, after returning, Zhang Wen Bo went to Dong Da Second Hospital.


    He was also considered as having made his mark abroad, with his postdoctoral fellowship due to finish in half a year.


    A year ago, the hospital had started contacting him, promising him a position as deputy director upon his return.


    Today, he took the opportunity of coming back to report to the hospital.


    But just as he arrived at the Medical Affairs office, he was called in for a talk by the president.


    Zhang Wen Bo smiled, thinking it must be about job reallocation.


    He walked towards the president¡¯s office with enthusiasm.


    ¡°President, you wanted to see me?¡± Zhang Wen Bo said with a smile.


    The president nodded, ¡°Yes, please sit down.


    I have something to discuss with you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhang Wen Bo immediately smiled, ¡°President, please go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s like this.


    Our institution is downscaling and needs to reduce staff.


    After discussion with the hospital leaders and the organization, we have decided to dismiss you.


    Please expedite the personnel procedures and process everything within the next two days.¡±


    ¡°This is the collective decision of the organization.


    There will be an announcement today, please proceed with the necessary paperwork soon.¡±


    Zhang Wen Bo was taken aback!


    ¡°President¡­


    are you joking?


    I¡­


    I¡¯m almost back from the USA¡­


    postdoctoral center¡­


    ¡±


    The president pondered for a moment, ¡°Well, I wish you luck in finding a satisfactory job.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, please go take care of the procedures.¡±


    Zhang Wen Bo¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°President, I¡¯m a postdoctoral researcher!


    I can help build up our orthopedics department.


    I am very capable.


    Just a while ago, Dong Da First Hospital¡­


    ¡±


    After listening, the president chuckled coldly.


    Postdoctoral researcher?


    Is that so desirable?


    Isn¡¯t it just a doctor going abroad for a few years for research?


    Is it that hard?


    Let alone anything else, there are hundreds of PhDs at Dong Da Second Hospital.


    Any of them could go abroad and return as postdoctoral researchers!


    What are you worth?


    With that in mind, he said indifferently, ¡°Sorry, we are an institution of public service, and we consider employees¡¯ professional ethics, moral character¡­


    among other things comprehensively!¡±


    ¡°I think other hospitals also evaluate medical staff similarly when hiring!


    Of course¡­


    perhaps it¡¯s different in the USA, you could go check it out!¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, please hurry on.¡±


    How heavy was this sentence?


    ¡­


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.??


    ¡­


    ps: Perhaps everyone has guessed this ending already.


    Dr.


    Shi¡¯s story is based on a real person, though not their real name.


    The circumstances are the same, though.


    A woman supports her husband through studies abroad, maintains the household, and the husband, upon achieving his goals, abandons his wife and goes after wealth and beauty.


    However, his luck turns sour when his father-in-law undergoes investigation and falls from grace, impacting him as well and leaving him unable to recover.


    After all, it seems there¡¯s retribution for good and evil alike.

 Chapter 614 - Chapter 614 Chapter 614 The Curtain Falls (Part 1)

    ?Chapter 614: Chapter 614: The Curtain Falls (Part 1) Chapter 614: Chapter 614: The Curtain Falls (Part 1) Zhang Wenbo heard the dean¡¯s words and was completely stunned!


    What¡¯s going on?


    What on earth happened?


    Not long ago they were saying that they planned to focus on training me, so why am I suddenly being dismissed now?


    Government-affiliated institutions are the so-called ¡°iron rice bowls¡±a€¡±you¡¯re basically secure unless you make some serious blunder.


    But¡­


    Now the harsh reality was laid out before him: the dean told him personally, could there be any mistake?


    Zhang Wenbo felt utterly confused, and he quickly looked at the dean, ¡°Dean, where did I go wrong, or what mistake did I make?


    I hope you can point it out to me!¡±


    The dean frowned slightly and sighed.


    This Zhang Wenbo had never been an easy one to deal with.


    After joining the department, he was always a bit prickly.


    Zhang Wenbo¡¯s mentor was the former head of orthopedics, and Zhang Wenbo was his closest disciple, so he treated him well.


    In theory, that should have been a strong hand to play!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    But Zhang Wenbo managed to botch it completely.


    Accustomed to the condescending arrogance he wore while his teacher was in charge, no one really wanted to say much; after all, they were from the same department, seeing each other day in and day out.


    A bit of friction was normal.


    But while people didn¡¯t voice their concerns, there was a lot of silent resentment, and due to the department head¡¯s face, no one really took issue with him.


    Then the old department head retired, and instead of beginning to act more humbly, Zhang Wenbo only intensified these conflicts.


    The new head saw that he was disrupting the department¡¯s unity, so he was assigned to outpatient services.


    Zhang Wenbo then had his mentor come in daily to make a fuss, claiming that the department was setting him up to fail.


    These incidents were quite notorious at the time.


    Yet the head of orthopedics was uncompromising, refusing to let him return to the department, saying that he was disrupting its normal operations.


    This was an internal department issue, and the hospital administration didn¡¯t want to interfere.


    Seeing the situation deteriorate, the old head felt helpless and recommended that Zhang Wenbo pursue a doctorate.


    He even introduced him to his own junior colleague to serve as his doctoral supervisor.


    Later, Zhang Wenbo left for his PhD, took a leave of absence while keeping his position, and after completing his doctorate, he even went to a postdoctoral research station in the United States.


    The hospital needed development, and was short-staffed.


    With limited slots in the hospital¡¯s staffing quota, some people occupying a spot but not contributing were contacted to return to work posthaste.


    Going abroad for a postdoctoral research placement, while still employed at the hospital, was in itself somewhat controversial, as a postdoctoral workstation is not a learning institution, but a workplace.


    But unexpectedly, Zhang Wenbo started to ¡°show contempt for his inferiors.¡±


    He began negotiating terms with the hospital, and at the time, as the hospital indeed needed to develop, they agreed to his terms.


    However, unexpectedly, the hospital¡¯s reputation suffered a blow because of Zhang Wenbo recently, something the dean was loath to see.


    Decisively, the dean chose to dismiss this troublemaker.


    During the organizational discussion, to everyone¡¯s surprise, not a single person voted against, and all the doctors in orthopedics were in agreement!


    All of a sudden, Zhang Wenbo seemed to have crossed everyone.


    At this juncture, Zhang Wenbo was a hot potato; if the dean accepted him, it would reflect poorly both internally and externally.


    Dismissal was the only right choice.


    The dean said, ¡°Our hospital holds the personal ethics of medical staff to a high standard, and we cannot accept things like extramarital affairs¡­


    So, Zhang Wenbo, don¡¯t you understand?¡±


    At that, Zhang Wenbo was shocked!


    Extramarital affairs?


    Who said that?


    This matter is not known to anyone!


    Zhang Wenbo hurriedly said, ¡°Dean, that is slander, pure slander.


    You need to hear me out.


    Moreover, as a government-affiliated institution, our dismissal process isn¡¯t so arbitrary, right?¡±


    After hearing this, the Dean shook his head, ¡°Whether it¡¯s slander or not isn¡¯t up to me to decide; that¡¯s a private matter.


    However, it has already caused our institution serious reputational damage.


    Furthermore¡­


    the reason for this organizational discussion is due to the reduction in staffing, necessitating the abolition of some positions, so you should comply with the organization¡¯s arrangement.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve met two conditions for dismissal: firstly, for failing to complete the assigned tasks in the annual performance assessment for two consecutive years, showing non-compliance with the organization¡¯s reassignment, or still being unable to complete the tasks within a year after being reassigned; secondly, our institution is undergoing mergers or downsizing that requires staff reduction, and you refused the organization¡¯s arrangement.¡±


    Zhang Wenbo was stunned.


    It seemed the hospital was determined.


    But¡­


    What exactly was going on with his affair?


    Angry, Zhang Wenbo turned around and left on the spot.


    He could see that the Dean had made up his mind and that staying here was pointless!


    After leaving the hospital, Zhang Wenbo exploded with anger!


    He pondered over and over who could be behind his dismissal!


    And who was behind the rumors of his affair?


    After much thought, there was only one candidate: Shi Na!


    Upon this realization, Zhang Wenbo hailed a cab, infuriated, and headed straight for the Second Provincial Hospital.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Trouble reveals true feelings.


    After Shi Na¡¯s incident, all the doctors and nurses in the emergency department were helping her out with her problems, doing whatever they could.


    Now the emergency department had more staff, and Shi Na, as the team leader with many patients under her care, was not delayed for long and continued to immerse herself in her work.


    As for her extramarital affair, Huang Weiyi had almost effortlessly investigated it.


    ¡°Miss Shi, it seems you have been too na?¡¥ve.


    Zhang Wenbo had two extramarital affairs during his doctoral studies, and he claimed to be single to the outside world.


    Here are the details.¡±


    ¡°What really convinced him to divorce was meeting this lady in the United States; however¡­


    unfortunately for Mr.


    Zhang, he lacks a rather important ability when it comes to recognizing people.¡±


    ¡°This woman is a swindler who specifically targets international students, pretending to be a high official¡¯s daughter, indulging in the lavish lifestyle of a wealthy second-generation.


    Your husband has spent about 200,000 US dollars on her.¡±


    Shi Na¡¯s hand trembled as she saw the figure!


    Post-doctoral salaries in the United States are relatively high, generally between 80,000 to 150,000 US dollars, yet for these past years, Zhang Wenbo never had the habit of sending money home!


    Shi Na looked through the photos, her heart filled with despair.


    Yet she was powerless to change the situation.


    At this point, it didn¡¯t matter anymore.


    ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Shi Na originally did not want to make a big deal out of the situation, believing in parting on good terms.


    But Zhang Wenbo¡¯s disgusting behavior truly angered her.


    As for how the deans of various large institutions in the province came to know about this, it was because Li Baoshan was so furious he couldn¡¯t take it, and spread the word through friends, leaders, and colleagues internally.


    Everyone in the emergency department knew what kind of person Shi Na was.


    A diligent and earnest woman, deceived by such a scoundrel.


    Zhang Wenbo had no idea that his disgraceful behavior had been thoroughly investigated, with even his hotel records listed on several sheets of paper.


    After arriving at the emergency department, Zhang Wenbo stared at Shi Na with fury and said, ¡°Shi Na!


    You¡¯ve ruined me!


    You slandered me!¡±


    Qin Yue happened to be accompanying Shi Na on her rounds.


    Shi Na wanted to avoid him and pay no attention, merely saying indifferently, ¡°This is a hospital, please don¡¯t make a scene here.


    After work, I will come to you with my lawyer.¡±

 Chapter 615 - Chapter 615 Chapter 615 The Curtain Falls (Part 2)

    ?Chapter 615: Chapter 615: The Curtain Falls (Part 2) Chapter 615: Chapter 615: The Curtain Falls (Part 2) Hearing the usually non-confrontational Shi Na mention bringing a lawyer to find him, Zhang Wenbo was stunned!


    ¡°Have you lost your mind?


    By making this a public spectacle, how does that benefit you?


    What good does it do to the child?¡±


    Qin Yue was taken aback!


    Was he trying to play the sympathy card?


    Did he think our Teacher Shi was kind-hearted?


    Qin Yue said directly, ¡°This is a hospital, don¡¯t shout.


    Security uncle, come over here, please.¡±


    Qin Yue was already tough, and upon seeing a scumbag, she was even angrier.


    Having followed Shi Na for three years, she understood Shi Na¡¯s feelings very well; it was as if someone had burst a three-year-long dream abruptly.


    Seeing this, Zhang Wenbo instantly became infuriated with embarrassment!


    As he was about to rush up, Lele, Xiao Lin, and a group of nurses all ran out: ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±


    Three security guards also ran over, wielding batons and immediately restraining Zhang Wenbo!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã0


    Zhang Wenbo hadn¡¯t expected to encounter this situation as soon as he arrived!


    ¡°Shi Na, you¡¯ve got such a cruel heart.


    Are you trying to kill me?


    Have you thought about my child?¡±


    ¡°What good does it do for you or for them if I have no job?


    Isn¡¯t this your child too?


    You heartless woman¡­¡±


    Shi Na had already come to terms with it over the past few days, and looking at Zhang Wenbo, she said indifferently, ¡°Rest assured, the child will definitely not be yours.


    Plus, I have evidence of all your affairs and extramarital relationships.


    I¡¯ll see you in court.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Wenbo, since you had the thought of cheating and divorcing, you should have prepared for it, right?¡±


    After speaking, Shi Na didn¡¯t even bother looking at him and got up to do her rounds.


    After this incident, she had already seen through it.


    When a woman truly gives up on a man, she can be more decisive than anything.


    Hearing Shi Na¡¯s words, Zhang Wenbo was dumbfounded!


    ¡°You¡­


    Shi Na!


    You¡­¡±


    Zhang Wenbo was about to curse.


    Qin Taishan glared at him and said, ¡°You what?


    Out!¡±


    After saying that, he signaled the security guards to escort him away.


    After Zhang Wenbo left, he returned home in a daze.


    The old lady was at home; his father was in the hospital; Shi Na had taken the child away; the house felt empty and vast.


    It was extremely quiet.


    Zhang Wenbo sat despondently on the sofa.


    From the time he returned, he hadn¡¯t visited his father in the hospital.


    His mother had instilled in him from a young age the idea that his father was quite incompetent, even thinking that their 300-pound father was a burden to the family.


    Sometimes, a person¡¯s character and education level really do not correlate.


    Alas¡­


    Zhang Wenbo was silent, despondent, and the old lady brought a glass of water.


    ¡°How are things at the hospital?¡± the old lady asked.


    Zhang Wenbo said with a blank expression, ¡°I¡¯ve been fired¡­¡±


    The old lady was stunned: ¡°How¡­


    How is that possible!¡±


    Zhang Wenbo sighed: ¡°It¡¯s true, here¡¯s the notice.¡±


    After seeing it, the old lady was momentarily stunned: ¡°That¡­


    the hospital director lacks vision!


    And that Dongda Second Hospital, what crappy leaders!¡±


    ¡°My son is a postdoc from the United States, are they blind?¡±


    After ranting for a while, the old lady said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with such a good academic background, a bunch of people will be fighting to hire you.


    Didn¡¯t you not want to go somewhere?


    Isn¡¯t this just perfect?¡±


    Zhang Wenbo shook his head: ¡°I doubt I can find a good job in Anyang anymore¡­


    Shi Na found out about Ah Lian and me¡­


    ¡±


    ¡°Shi Na has found a lawyer and wants to divorce me.¡±


    After hearing this, the old lady, considering only her son, said, ¡°Isn¡¯t this perfect?


    Isn¡¯t that Ah Lian a leader¡¯s daughter?


    A rich second generation, aren¡¯t you¡­


    Wouldn¡¯t divorcing be perfect for marrying her?¡±


    ¡°Besides, your postdoctoral fellowship in the US hasn¡¯t expired yet.


    After it expires, you marry her, and then, won¡¯t her father have to help you?¡±


    ¡°This is your chance!¡±


    Zhang Wenbo nodded, knowing there was no turning back now.


    Picking up the phone, he dialed A-Lian¡¯s number, ¡°My dear?


    Yes¡­


    My dad¡¯s condition has stabilized, yes¡­


    I¡¯ll look for you when I get back, and then we¡¯ll get married.¡±


    ¡°Okay!


    My dear, I miss you so much, let¡¯s get married quickly!¡±


    Zhang Wenbo smiled, ¡°Yes, okay, I¡¯ll sort things out as soon as possible, within a week.¡±


    ¡°Yes, right¡­


    My parents might come to the US next week, Wenbo, I told them you have a house in America¡­


    I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ll find out you¡¯re renting when they get here, which wouldn¡¯t be too good.


    I have $200,000 here but still need $300,000.


    I was thinking, it would be best if I bought the house before you come back, so my parents can see it when they arrive¡­¡±


    When Zhang Wenbo heard that the other party was taking the initiative to put forward $200,000 to buy a house, he was extremely moved.


    He suddenly remembered how Shi Na had also once put forward $200,000 for him to buy a house¡­


    He shook his head, ¡°Okay, thank you, babe.


    I need to take care of some things here first, you go look at houses¡­


    I¡¯ll prepare the money.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Zhang Wenbo and Shi Na met in private, and the two decided to settle out of court.


    They did not wish to take the matter to court.


    Moreover, Zhang Wenbo was ready to go back to the US as soon as everything was finished here, to complete the wedding ceremony with A-Lian.


    After all, where couldn¡¯t he go then?


    Thinking this, Zhang Wenbo conceded as much as possible.


    A child?


    To him now, it was a burden.


    And the two children were right there on the scene, to be honest, they didn¡¯t have much impression of this ¡°dad,¡± all the impressions were spoken by the mom!


    The children were young, and the memories were not vivid, after all¡­


    they really hadn¡¯t seen much of him!


    The negotiation process was unexpectedly smooth; Shi Na gave Zhang Wenbo $500,000, and the house became Shi Na¡¯s property.


    As for marital shared property?


    Zhang Wenbo didn¡¯t really have much of that.


    Perhaps the affection between the two was the only common property they had as a couple.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Regrettably, Zhang Wenbo discarded that affection like an old shoe.


    Afterwards, the old lady moved out of the house and returned to her own district.


    Zhang Wenbo, thrilled, sold everything in the house that could be sold, preparing to leave the country to win over a rich and beautiful woman.


    Meanwhile, Shi Na took the children back to her home and had her parents come over.


    It seemed like life had not changed from before.


    The grandfather passed away within a couple of days.


    The grandmother and the daughter didn¡¯t have too much sadness.


    But the eldest son broke down in tears.


    Shi Na and the children also cried very mournfully.


    The grandfather¡¯s death seemed like the perfect full stop for many people to this family¡¯s story.


    For the grandmother, who had been proud her whole life, there might be a sense of loss.


    The woman who thought she wouldn¡¯t feel sad became gloomier from then on.


    And for Shi Na, this might have been the perfect full stop to her less than ten years of married life.


    As for Zhang Wenbo, he was busy attending a wedding, and had no time for the funeral here¡­


    The children, because of their grandparents¡¯ arrival, quickly had smiles on their faces.


    And when Shi Na went to work, it seemed that she had shed many burdens, and her smile did not carry the same load as before.


    Qin Yue accompanied her to the mall to buy a beautiful set of clothes to welcome a new life.


    At that moment, Chen Bingsheng suddenly joked, ¡°Yo, Shi Na, how come I never realized you were so good-looking?


    I¡¯m a bit intrigued now, what should I do?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Big brother, I¡¯ve recorded this.


    Sister-in-law has added me on WeChat, so you figure out what you¡¯re gonna do¡­¡±


    In the office, there was laughter and cheer.


    It seemed, life had no hurdles that couldn¡¯t be overcome.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Shi Na¡¯s story has come to an end as well.


    Perhaps the portrayal was not perfectly round, but it¡¯s still quite satisfying.


    In the end, I would like to thank ¡°Glasses Electrician Otaku¡± for the 10,000 reward, thank you for your support.


    And thank you to every friend who has subscribed and voted.


    More updates in the afternoon.

 Chapter 616 - Chapter 616 Chapter 616 Cherish

    ?Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Cherish Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Cherish In Zhang Wenbo¡¯s nostrils, the New York air was so enticing.


    Filled with the freedom and extravagance of capitalism.


    Harboring ideals for the future, he was about to see his American house.


    300,000 US dollarsa€¡±that was all of Zhang Wenbo¡¯s savings, buta€| it didn¡¯t matter.


    Thinking of the beautiful future that awaited, he felt it was all worth it.


    As soon as he got off the plane, he couldn¡¯t wait to call A-Lian.


    Buta€| the call just wouldn¡¯t go through.


    Zhang Wenbo chuckled and cursed, could this little cutie be planning to surprise him?


    Little rascal!


    Zhang Wenbo had known her for two years already.


    This woman frequented high-class circles and drove luxury carsa€¡±surely she wouldn¡¯t deceive him over a mere 300,000 US dollars.


    Even her parents, Zhang Wenbo had personally looked them up, without the least bit of doubt, because the photos really did resemble some mid-level leader.


    He returned to the apartment he rented, ready to unpack his luggage quickly and head out.


    But as he opened the door, Zhang Wenbo was stunned!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    The whole apartment was a mess as if a thief had been through it!


    Zhang Wenbo was filled with rage.


    With these terrible crime rates, after searching for a while, he found all his valuable belongings were gone!


    Fuck!


    Zhang Wenbo silently cursed and picked up the phone to call the police.


    At that moment, there was a knock on the door.


    When Zhang Wenbo opened it, he saw the landlord.


    ¡°Dr.


    Zhang, isn¡¯t it time to pay your rent?¡± The landlord was over sixty but liked to work out, so he was still quite robust.


    Zhang Wenbo anxiously said, ¡°Mr.


    Peter, there¡¯s been a burglary in my room!


    I have to call the police first, please wait a moment.¡±


    Old Peter looked at the mess in the room, and his eyebrows immediately furrowed.


    He lived just across the hall.


    Upon learning of the burglary, he also grew angry.


    He looked at Zhang Wenbo, ¡°A burglary?


    I have cameras in the hallway.


    Do you want to check them out?¡±


    Zhang Wenbo eagerly nodded, following Peter into his room.


    After turning on the footage, he was momentarily dumbfounded!


    During the days he was gone, aside from his girlfriend A-Lian, no one else had entered the room.


    Upon closer inspection at that moment, he realized that all the valuable things had been taken by A-Lian herself.


    At that point, Zhang Wenbo froze!


    He picked up the phone to dial A-Lian¡¯s number repeatedly, but he couldn¡¯t get through at all.


    Even using Peter¡¯s phone was to no avail!


    Right then, Zhang Wenbo panicked!


    He hurriedly hailed a taxi to A-Lian¡¯s residence, only to find out she had long gone.


    He attempted to find any leads to her whereabouts, buta€| this A-Lian seemed to have vanished into thin air all of a sudden.


    In that moment, Zhang Wenbo¡¯s scalp tingled, a sense of despair suddenly rising within him.


    Could it bea€| he had been conned?


    Thinking this, he felt weak all over.


    He never imagined he would see the day when someone would deceive him.


    He rushed to the police station, and after reporting the burglary, he suddenly found outa€| even the name and ID were fake!


    And most importantly,


    The police told him, ¡°This woman, her real name is Amy, and in the past few days, we¡¯ve received three reports about her.


    We¡¯ll contact you when we find any clues.¡±


    ¡°One thing is certain, this is a con artist, and she¡¯s part of a gang that specifically targets Chinese students and rich second-generation immigrants.¡±


    With this revelation, Zhang Wenbo was shell shocked!


    He was dumbfounded.


    He never expected that, always being the one to deceive others, one day he would be the one deceived!


    Coming out of the police station, Zhang Wenbo felt as if his soul had been hollowed out.


    All his hopes seemed to vanish at that moment.


    So much for high-ranking officials!


    So much for being a rich second generation!


    So much for the wealthy and beautiful!


    Fuck them all to death far away.


    Zhang Wenbo shouted loudly, but no one around paid any attention to him, and he slumped to the ground, his body limp.


    At that moment, he was filled with regreta€|


    And remorse!


    Fantasies were just an outburst of his own desiresa€|


    His dreams were snuffed out by someone else¡¯s hands.


    For a long time.


    He sat there in silence, countless memories replaying in his mind.


    The bits and pieces of life, like fleeting clouds, constantly perform in my mind.


    At this moment, he suddenly realized that these five years, for him, were like junk food, lacking anything worth savoring.


    What was the dream in the beginning?


    He found he had forgotten¡­


    What was the original intention?


    He actually dared not face it¡­


    What are people most afraid of?


    They are most afraid of being unable to face their mistakes, unable to turn back, to walk the road of regret¡­


    ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Looking at the capitalism he envied, looking at this bustling New York, he staggered like a beggar, bumping along yet not knowing where to go.


    Because the road back had been sealed off by his own hands.


    ¡°Haha¡­¡±


    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡±


    ¡°How ridiculous!¡±


    ¡­


    At this moment, he began to miss Shi Na madly, desperate to tell her he was wrong!


    He was wrong from the start!


    But, when he mustered the courage to dial the phone, he found he didn¡¯t even have the right to apologize.


    He had been blocked.


    He missed his children, but upon careful thought, he couldn¡¯t recall what they looked like now.


    Suddenly, a few words flashed in his mind: You don¡¯t deserve it!


    Zhang Wenbo laughed out loud.


    Right!


    He didn¡¯t deserve it.


    Just then, the phone suddenly rang.


    Zhang Wenbo saw it was his brother, picked up the phone to speak, but suddenly heard the other side say:


    ¡°Zhang Wenbo, don¡¯t contact me anymore.


    I don¡¯t have a brother like you.


    You didn¡¯t even come to our father¡¯s funerala€¡±are you even human?¡± The voice was very calm, yet very resolute!


    He hung up the phone.


    Zhang Wenbo wanted to cry.


    Right!


    He didn¡¯t deserve it!


    He didn¡¯t deserve to be a son!


    He didn¡¯t deserve to be a father!


    He didn¡¯t deserve to be a husband!


    Once upon a time, a loving family awaited his return, a devoted wife tended to the household, loving children calling out ¡°Dad,¡± a caring father preparing sumptuous meals¡­


    All these!


    All these wonderful things¡­


    He found he had grown accustomed to them day by day, taking them for granted, overlooking them¡­


    until he ignored them altogether.


    He started to greedily seek so-called thrills, so-called ¡°fantasies¡±¡­


    It was at this moment that he realized happiness was actually so simple, but he had not cherished it.


    Now, when he thought he was wealthy enough and capable enough, he found he no longer deserved happiness!


    Because he had let down those happy moments!


    He didn¡¯t deserve happiness!


    Some people, who were willing to be kind to you for no reason, had already left.


    And some people, who foolishly waited for you, had lost heart.


    At this moment, Zhang Wenbo knew.


    He had nothing left¡­


    Looking at the New York sky, he suddenly felt that his once-envied bustling nightlife was nothing but an illusion.


    By the time he realized it, his heart had died in a foreign land!


    He didn¡¯t even dare to think about regret!


    ¡­


    PS: I wish everyone to cherish the extraordinary within the ordinary, to spend more time with your parents, with your spouse and children during this period.


    Fictional stories are not real, but the emotions are genuine.


    Some ask, what is the purpose of writing this?


    Well, I want to say, the purpose of writing is to remind everyone not to overlook the emotions in life.

    (Sixth Update, Please Subscribe) In the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital.


    Wang Qian walked into the office with a look of grievance and sighed, ¡°Ever since my family started that ¡®Happy Family¡¯ WeChat group, I haven¡¯t felt joyful at all!¡±


    Qin Yue responded with a smile, ¡°My family is all about ¡®Loving and Caring¡¯, but since last year, it¡¯s turned into a ¡®Matchmaking and Mutual Aid Group¡¯.


    Every day my seven aunts and eight great-aunts bombard me with other people¡¯s resumes, making me feel like I¡¯m an HR.¡±


    When Chen Cang heard this, he suddenly glared, eyes locked onto Qin Yue intensely.


    I wasn¡¯t ready yet, and you¡¯re already thinking of cheating on me?


    Qin Yue gave Chen Cang a sidelong glance, full of triumph!


    Chen Cang immediately became furious, This little missy, itching for a spanking, huh?


    Wait until we¡¯re off work, I¡¯m going to properly sort her out today.


    Luo Zhou chuckled, ¡°That¡¯s still better than the ¡®Pinduoduo Mutual Aid Group¡¯ at my home.


    Now, every night when I lie in bed, the first thing I do is haggle prices.¡±


    Wang Qian shook his head, ¡°You don¡¯t know, my aunt is something else!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Wang Qian sighed, ¡°You don¡¯t know just how amazing my aunt is.


    She can discover a new carcinogenic substance every single day!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s made my mom so anxious she doesn¡¯t even know what to cook anymore!


    Day in and day out it¡¯s just plain soup and bland food; I feel it would be better to have takeout at the hospital.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s more, whatever I like to eat, my aunt declares it carcinogenic.


    These past few days I¡¯ve been into spicy mix salad, and just yesterday morning, she posted an article in the group about the carcinogenic effects of spicy mix salad!¡±


    ¡°In short, whatever I like to eat, she comes out saying it can cause cancer, making it so that my eating can¡¯t keep up with the speed of her discoveries!¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, I¡¯ve realized, all of my sources of happiness can cause cancer!¡±


    After listening to this, everyone suddenly burst into laughter!


    ¡°Dear aunt!


    Rock solid proof!¡±


    ¡°I also have an aunt like that!¡±


    ¡°+1!¡±


    It goes without saying that ever since older folks have joined WeChat, public accounts have been on the rise with crazy proliferation, and news catered to their amusement spreads wildly.


    This includes some rumors as well.


    However, there are both pros and cons, it cannot be generalized as entirely bad or good.


    After work, Chen Cang didn¡¯t bother going to Dongda First Hospital and directly pulled Qin Xiaotian into the office.


    Chen Cang sat boldly on the bed and said to Qin Xiaotian, ¡°Realize your mistake?¡±


    Qin Yue pouted her lips, squatting by Chen Cang¡¯s side, massaging his leg: ¡°I¡¯m at fault¡­


    I was wrong¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, not bad, quite sensible?


    ¡°Where did you go wrong!¡±


    Qin Yue with a look of utter submission: ¡°Wherever you say I went wrong, that¡¯s where I went wrong!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang exclaimed, ¡°Ah, behaving so well today?¡±


    Qin Yue giggled and said, ¡°When am I not well-behaved?


    You should update your contact nickname for me, I am Qin Xiaoguai!¡±


    Chen Cang, who had never enjoyed such treatment, immediately lay sprawled on the bed, squinting his eyes blissfully, ¡°My legs are tired, give me a good massage!¡±


    Qin Yue whispered seductively in Chen Cang¡¯s ear, ¡°Oh?


    Which leg?¡±


    Chen Cang almost didn¡¯t hold back.


    This little missy was becoming bolder, ¡°Both are tired, massage both!¡±


    Qin Yue responded, ¡°This humble one understands!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Just then, Qin Xiaoyuan and Li Baoshan pushed open the door and walked in.


    Qin Yue was squatting to one side massaging Chen Cang, who was lying on the bed with his head buried in the pillow, boasting grandly, ¡°Mmm, that¡¯s better, you¡¯ve got more strength now¡­


    keep it up¡­


    so good¡­


    such a good girl!


    I¡¯ll buy you candy later!¡±


    Qin Yue cheerfully replied, ¡°Sure thing, master!¡±


    Old Qin happened to witness the scene and was immediately taken aback, his face throbbing with bulging veins.


    I don¡¯t even dare to play with my daughter like that, and you, you rascal.


    And you¡­


    you little wench!


    Calling him ¡®master¡¯!


    That¡¯s too shameful!


    The thought alone made Old Qin¡¯s head tingle.


    Hearing someone enter, Qin Yue turned around and saw Director Li and her dad standing behind her, staring at her dumbfounded.


    Her face turned red in an instant, and she quickly got up, sticking out her tongue before running off.


    Feeling the absence of movement, Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Why did you stop?


    Keep going, use more force, and massage my glutes, too.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Old Qin was about to explode!


    Gluteus maximus indeed!


    I swear, I¡¯ll cut all 639 muscles in your body, all 60 billion muscle fibers, into pieces!


    This is pissing me off.


    Upon seeing this, Li Baoshan hurriedly said, ¡°Chen Cang, get up quickly!¡±


    When Chen Cang heard Li Baoshan¡¯s voice, he was instantly stunned, quickly stood up, and as he turned around, he suddenly saw his father-in-law, Dean Qin, standing there, except¡­


    his eyes were somewhat red.


    Chen Cang was instantly dumbfounded!


    He thought to himself, Damn, this is bad.


    Where¡¯s Qin Xiaotian?


    How could he run away so quickly¡­


    Chen Cang felt like crying without tears.


    ?¦Ï??¦Ï.?¦Ï


    Li Baoshan cleared his throat, This¡­


    should be considered a family matter, right?


    I shouldn¡¯t get involved, should I?


    Thinking this, Li Baoshan awkwardly said, ¡°I¡¯m going to use the restroom, you guys¡­


    have a seat first!¡±


    Having said that, he turned and went out, carefully closing the door behind him.


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°Dean Qin¡­


    I¡­


    It¡¯s just that when I stood up, my gluteus maximus felt a bit swollen!¡±


    Old Qin gritted his teeth, his face fierce yet filled with concern as he said, ¡°Oh¡­


    a whole day¡¯s surgery must have been tough, I¡¯ve learned to give massages, lie down, and I¡¯ll press it for you!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face suddenly changed, ¡°That¡­


    I couldn¡¯t possibly, it¡¯s too embarrassing, Dean Qin, you¡¯re too kind.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan said sternly, ¡°Lie down!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Can I not lie down?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan remained silent.


    Chen Cang had no choice but to lie down, murmuring grievously, ¡°Be gentle!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan nodded, squinting and smiling, ¡°Being gentle won¡¯t have any effect¡­¡±


    ¡°Ouch ouch ouch¡­¡±


    ¡°It hurts, it hurts!¡±


    ¡°Ah, that¡¯s not the gluteus maximus, that¡¯s¡­¡±


    Outside, Li Baoshan sighed deeply.


    This family, how loving they are!


    Dean Qin really has no airs around Xiao Qin, even giving him a massage himself¡­


    Meanwhile, Qin Yue pricked up her ears, listening to what was going on inside, terrified, Chen Cang, hold on!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    When leaving the Provincial Second Hospital, Chen Cang walked towards Dongda First Hospital.


    Why not take a car?


    Gluteus maximus hurts!


    However, Chen Cang suspected that Dean Qin was settling personal scores under the pretense of a massage, as it clearly felt a bit vicious, causing Chen Cang to be uncomfortable no matter how he sat!


    This time, Chen Cang was surprised to find that the road to Dongda First Hospital was strangely long.


    Qin Yue sent a message, ¡°Does it hurt?¡±


    Chen Cang picked up his phone and sent a gritting teeth emoji, ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt!¡±


    Qin Yue asked, ¡°Did my dad do anything to you?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Hmm, Dean Qin is quite nice, he pressed my gluteus maximus, but, Qin Yue, did Dean Qin also learn massage?¡±


    Qin Yue was taken aback, ¡°No?


    But I heard from my mom that my dad learned Jeet Kune Do, though I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s true or not?¡±


    Chen Cang instantly froze, thinking, How come I feel like that wasn¡¯t a massage at all?


    F**k me¡­


    No sooner had he spoken than Chen Cang slipped on a banana peel and fell to the ground, immediately feeling an excruciating pain rip through his butt.


    Damn it!


    Father-in-law, that was way too harsh!


    Absolutely no distinction between kin¡­

    ?Chapter 618: Chapter 618: Rescue (Part 1) Chapter 618: Chapter 618: Rescue (Part 1) ¡°`


    Chen Cang stumbled his way to the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at Dongda First Hospital.


    He wanted to be admitted as a patient.


    But he thought it over and couldn¡¯t decide which department to go to!


    Chen Cang really wanted to ask the Pain Management Department if they treated butt pain, but when it came to explaining the cause of his pain, he wasn¡¯t sure how to answer.


    Should he say¡­


    he got his glutes punched in Jeet Kune Do?


    Sigh¡­


    He was mentally exhausted!


    Qin Xiaotian, oh Qin Xiaotian, why did you have to run away so fast!


    This is your own father, and you didn¡¯t even try to stop.


    Chen Cang felt extremely anxious.


    By the time he reached the department, it was already six-thirty.


    As soon as he entered, he saw San Bo immediately stand up!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    ¡°Chen Cang is here!¡±


    Suddenly, Ge Huai pushed Chen Cang down into a chair, ¡°Xiao Chen, awesome job snagging the first place in your group, representing Dongyang in the competition.


    Any thoughts on that?¡±


    Chen Cang abruptly stood up!


    Thoughts?


    My damn ass hurts!


    Scholar Two, Zhang Dai, pushed Chen Cang back down into the chair: ¡°Xiao Chen, you¡¯re really something.


    We didn¡¯t even notice how amazing you were.


    Sit down quickly, we have prepared three surgeries for tonight, and you¡¯ll have to teach us properly.¡±


    Chen Cang immediately stood up again, this time he glanced at Scholar Three, moved the chair aside, and said indifferently,


    ¡°It¡¯s all good, I¡¯d rather not sit¡­


    been sitting all day.¡±


    Just then, Meng Xi walked in and said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re here.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Hello, Teacher Meng!¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, ¡°Sit down first.


    Dr.


    Ge, go and get the discharge notice for bed 12 ready.


    Also, the discharge certificatea€¡±family members of the patient will come early tomorrow to go through the procedures.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I¡¯d rather stay standing.


    Dr.


    Ge, let me handle the discharge certificate for you.¡±


    Ge Huai nodded, ¡°Thanks, Xiao Chen.¡±


    After writing the discharge certificate, Meng Xi signed it, setting the date for the following day.


    In Cardiothoracic Surgery, Chief Zhou did his major ward rounds on Tuesdays.


    On Tuesdays and Fridays, based on the conditions of the patients, major medication prescriptions had to be made.


    This brings us to the medication prescribing practices in various hospital departmentsa€¡±generally, it¡¯s customary to do major medication prescriptions twice a week.


    ¡°Major medication prescribing¡± means that if you¡¯re going to prescribe medicine on Tuesday, you prescribe all the way through Friday, issuing three days¡¯ worth of medication, along with long-term medical orders.


    Temporary medical order modifications are also convenient; they can be changed out promptly if necessary.


    This way, it¡¯s easier for both the nurses dispensing medication and the doctors giving orders.


    If you prescribe medication today and they prescribe more tomorrow, it disrupts the order of the department.


    And¡­


    never think that nurses are subordinate to doctors.


    When nurses don¡¯t cooperate, it can cause a lot of trouble for doctors.


    Thus, cooperation between medical staff is essential.


    It even directly affects every aspect of medical work.


    Tuesday mornings are busy, so most things are done the night before whenever possible; never think that you can just do your own thing during the chief¡¯s major round¡­


    After finishing a series of tasks, everyone was about to head to the operating room.


    Suddenly, a nurse ran in hurriedly, ¡°Director Meng!


    Dr.


    Ge, it¡¯s not good, the patient in bed 12 just fainted.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi dashed towards bed 12!


    Chen Cang also followed closely, and Ge Huai stood up, turned back, and grabbed the medical chart.


    Bed 12 was the patient of Ge Huai and Meng Xi; any issues were their responsibility.


    They had just entered the ward when they suddenly found the patient lying on the floora€¡±a young man in his mid-thirties, while his wife and child stood by, panicked and overwhelmed.


    ¡°Doctor!


    How could he just faint all of a sudden?¡±


    ¡°`


    Meng Xi¡¯s expression was solemn as he said to the woman, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, calm down.¡±


    ¡°Cardiac monitor, blood oxygen saturation, urgently check the blood sugar!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang, lift the patient onto the bed!¡±


    ¡°Yang, ECG machine!¡±


    ¡°Nurse station, page the emergency department for an urgent consultation!¡±


    ¡­


    ?0¦Í?0.?¦Ï


    Meng Xi instantly issued several medical orders.


    When a cardiothoracic surgery patient collapses, the first consideration is still potential cardiac sequelae.


    After all, surgery can result in a variety of postoperative complications, some of which can cause arrhythmias and so on.


    Of course, there are many reasons for fainting, and they cannot be generalized; however, the priority in emergency situations like this is to rule out cardiac issues for cardiothoracic patients.


    At this time, Ge Huai had already rushed in holding the medical record.


    All the nurses were busy in an orderly manner.


    While observing the patient, Meng Xi helped Chen Cang lift the patient onto the bed and undress them.


    He asked Ge Huai about the patient¡¯s condition.


    ¡°Does the patient have any medical history?


    Any hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia¡­¡±


    Ge Huai shook his head: ¡°Nothing!


    The admission tests were all normal, and the patient¡¯s previous physical examination was fine.


    This time it was an aortic aneurysm excision, with no discovery of hepatitis, tuberculosis, etc.¡±


    After hearing this, Meng Xi said to the nurse testing the blood sugar, ¡°What¡¯s the urgent blood sugar result?¡±


    Upon seeing the result, the nurse immediately said, ¡°Blood sugar 9.8!¡±


    Normal!


    Meng Xi turned and asked Ge Huai, ¡°Did they do a cerebral vascular MRI when the patient arrived?¡±


    Ge Huai was startled!


    Who would do that?


    We¡¯re in cardiothoracic surgery, not neurology or neurosurgery.


    However, Meng Xi¡¯s consideration was correct; with sudden syncope, one should consider cerebral vascular issues.


    Even without hypertension, if the patient had cerebral vascular malformation or existing intracranial arterial aneurysm, a ruptured aneurysm could lead to unconsciousness!


    This possibility could not be excluded!


    After all, some people have aneurysms in more than one place.


    Taking a deep breath, Ge Huai shook his head: ¡°No, the patient had a head CT, which showed no abnormalities.¡±


    He also knew that a head CT could only give a rough idea and miss many details.


    If a CT could be performed now, it would show if there was any cerebral hemorrhage, but at this moment, with the patient¡¯s life hanging by a thread, there was no chance to transfer them to the CT room.


    Moreover, the probability of intracranial aneurysm rupture was too low!


    Just then,


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Both pupils are equal and round, no dilation found, and the reaction to light is normal¡­


    I don¡¯t think it looks like a cerebral hemorrhage!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s words made Meng Xi¡¯s eyes light up.


    Right¡­


    The most basic physical examination and neurological assessment had been overlooked.


    Although it couldn¡¯t completely rule out a cerebral hemorrhage, it was very close to certainty.


    Sometimes, diagnosis is really a process of elimination, especially when the cause is unknown.


    To quickly establish a diagnosis, the process of elimination is one of the best methods.


    The entire process seemed prolonged, but it actually took less than a minute!


    And at that moment, the ECG machine had already been connected!


    But before the ECG machine had time to print out the results, a nurse suddenly said, ¡°Director Meng!


    It¡¯s ventricular fibrillation!¡±


    At those words, everyone¡¯s complexion changed instantly!


    Meng Xi was startled and quickly said, ¡°Contact the emergency department, get the defibrillator, hurry!¡±


    This was serious trouble now!


    The patient had just undergone an aortic aneurysm excision, and now they were suddenly experiencing ventricular fibrillationa€¡±a dangerous situation that drastically increased the risk factor.

 Chapter 619 - Chapter 619 Chapter 619 Rescue (Part 2)

    ?Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Rescue (Part 2) Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Rescue (Part 2) ¡°`


    Looking at the ECG in his hand, the undulating waveforms seemed like a harbinger of doom.


    The incident occurred suddenly, and no one expected such a thing to happen.


    The patient was all set to be discharged, the discharge papers had already been prepared, and the recovery was swift.


    Who could have foreseen that at such an unimportant moment, such a critical issue would arise?


    Ventricular fibrillation!


    Now, the cause of the coma had been found: it was ventricular fibrillation.


    Ventricular fibrillation, often abbreviated to VF, is one of the common triggers for sudden cardiac arrest and death.


    In fact, the heart is a muscle that contracts rhythmically to pump blood¡­


    However, its strength is limited; increase the frequency too much, and the force will inevitably be insufficient, thus naturally very little blood can be pumped out.


    When the ventricles emit rapid, consistent impulses at a rate of over 240 per minute, this is known as ventricular flutter.


    If the ventricle¡¯s impulses are rapid and irregular, this is called ventricular fibrillation.


    The frequency of VF can be between 250-600 times per minute.


    How horrifying is that data?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    ??¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Resuscitation!


    At that moment, defibrillation was the only choice, but the defibrillator was not available!


    Chen Cang urgently said,


    ¡°Prepare amiodarone!¡±


    The nurse nodded briskly.


    At this time, Meng Xi suddenly remembered there was an experienced emergency physician standing here.


    Rich in experience, skilled in technique!


    It wasn¡¯t long before the defibrillator arrived.


    Chen Cang quickly took the lead, preparing to defibrillate.


    When Wu Peng saw Chen Cang, he also breathed a sigh of relief.


    After all¡­


    this was Chen Cang!


    The first defibrillation!


    Unsuccessful!


    Chen Cang glanced at Wu Peng, ¡°Don¡¯t stop the chest compressions!¡±


    Then he turned to the nurse, ¡°Administer a dose of epinephrine!¡±


    The patient¡¯s family was already crying inconsolably.


    The young mother and child, having never witnessed such a scene before, and patients in neighboring beds were stunned.


    Who could have thought that the young man, lively and chatting just a moment ago, could suddenly end up like this?


    He was about to be discharged¡­


    Chen Cang immediately started the second defibrillation!


    This time it was successful!


    In less than two minutes, the waveforms on the cardiac monitor gradually normalized.


    At this moment, the patient finally restored spontaneous heartbeat.


    The harrowing resuscitation finally came to an end!


    However, no one dared to relax, their eyes fixed intently on the cardiac monitor, fearing that the beautiful waveform and perfect rhythm might suddenly vanish¡­


    Perhaps for doctors, the most perfect graph is: sinus rhythm!


    A few more minutes passed!


    The patient eventually stabilized; everyone let out a sigh of relief.


    But then they suddenly discovered their backs were drenched in cold sweat.


    Uncertain whether it was due to the room¡¯s heating being too strong, or because of the intense tension just moments before.


    The blood pressure also stabilized, the heart rate held at 120 beats per minute, oxygen saturation at 98%.


    Chen Cang turned and said to the nurse, ¡°Do a blood gas analysis.¡±


    It was time to analyze the cause.


    Why did the patient suddenly exhibit arrhythmia?


    Resuscitation is like this.


    Save life first, then treat the illness.


    Now that the patient¡¯s life was stabilized, it was time to find what had caused the arrhythmia.


    Soon enough, the blood gas analysis came back, the pH value was basically normal, 7.31, with the normal range being 7.35-7.45, but it didn¡¯t affect¡­


    This resuscitation had essentially stabilized.


    Now it was necessary to investigate the cause.


    Because without knowing the cause, the patient could not be said to be absolutely safe.


    At this moment, Chen Cang said to the nurse, ¡°Draw some blood for testing: CBC, electrolytes¡­


    liver and kidney functions, get the lab to rush the results.¡±


    Having turned around, he took Meng Xi¡¯s stethoscope off and directly put it on his own ears.


    Hmm!


    There was a fragrance¡­


    Chen Cang continued to carefully listen to the heart sounds, hoping to detect the slightest abnormality.


    But after repeated listening, everything seemed normal.


    Why did the patient experience an arrhythmia?


    Why ventricular fibrillation?


    Chen Cang turned to Ge Huai, ¡°Show me the medications the patient has been taking recently.¡±


    Ge Huai nodded, immediately bringing up a copy of the medical orders.


    Upon inspection, Chen Cang saw the usual drugs prescribed by the cardiac surgery department; far from causing arrhythmias, these drugs could help treat them!


    Chen Cang continued to ask, ¡°Has the patient had any unusual reactions these past two days?¡±


    ¡°Such as, chest tightness, palpitations¡­


    any abnormal conditions?¡± Chen Cang inquired of the patient¡¯s wife.


    The woman shook her head, ¡°No, he¡¯s been saying that the surgery went very well and he¡¯s been feeling great¡­¡±


    Just then, as if she remembered something, ¡°Oh!


    He caught a bit of a cold yesterday, but I didn¡¯t think much of it, I even mentioned it to Dr.


    Ge.


    Ge Huai nodded, ¡°Yes, it didn¡¯t seem serious, so I didn¡¯t tell him to worry about it, especially since he was on an IV, with lots of medications; didn¡¯t want any adverse reactions.¡±


    At this point, Chen Cang appeared to be the director.


    Standing there, with young nurses and doctors gathered around, though the patient was surprised not to have seen this doctor before.


    But¡­


    It was this very doctor who had saved her husband¡¯s life, so no matter who he was, a capable doctor was a good doctor!


    Indeed, Scholar Two and Scholar Three were also present, everyone was listening to the patient¡¯s condition.


    ¡°`


    Constantly helping to think!


    However, sometimes, the minds of emergency doctors really are different from those of other doctors.


    Emergency patients come in all sorts of conditions, whereas specialists are more focused on their fields.


    Chen Cang suddenly changed color, ¡°Could it be acute myocarditis?¡±


    That single sentence stunned everyone.


    You must never underestimate a cold!


    If it¡¯s severe myocarditis, then it can be dangerous.


    But, the heart sounds are basically normal, and it¡¯s only been a day since the cold began, so myocarditis is unlikely, right?


    Meng Xi suggested, ¡°Should we have the ultrasound room come up?¡±


    After pondering for a moment, Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Mm, let¡¯s do it to rule it out.¡±


    Because of the patient¡¯s special circumstances, the surgery scheduled for tonight might have to be postponed until tomorrow.


    Alternatively, the patient could be transferred to the ICU for observation.


    At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly looked down and saw the medication on the table.


    His face immediately changed!


    ¡°Did he take cold medicine?¡±


    The wife nodded, ¡°Yes, he said the doctor didn¡¯t prescribe any, so he asked me to buy some over-the-counter cold medicine.¡±


    ¡°I thought there was nothing wrong with cold medicine, so I bought some.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face changed again, he opened the drawer and took out the medication.


    Kang Gan!


    Bai Jia Hei!


    Pu Re Xi Tong!


    As soon as Chen Cang saw them, he was stunned.


    Perhaps the reason had been found.


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Did he take a lot of cold medicine?¡±


    The wife nodded, ¡°Yes, when he was at his hometown, he would take cold medicine like Gan Mao Tong and had to take a lot for it to work.¡±


    Chen Cang turned to the nurse and said, ¡°Get a blood test for the acetaminophen concentration immediately.¡±


    The nurse nodded, took the blood, and hurried off.


    While waiting, the patient suddenly woke up.


    Staring at the crowd around him, he was momentarily baffled, ¡°Did I fall asleep?¡±


    ¡°Doctor, I¡¯m really sorry, I fell asleep after taking the cold medicinea€| Huh?


    Wait, what¡¯s wrong with me?¡±


    Seeing all the wires on himself, the man was flabbergasted.


    Chen Cang asked the man sternly, ¡°How much cold medicine did you take?¡±


    The man cleared his throat, ¡°I took two tablets of Bai Jia Hei, two tablets of Pu Re Xi Tong, and one tablet of Kang Gana€|¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless, ¡°Are you eating or what?¡±


    The man shook his head, ¡°I take them often; I¡¯ve developed a resistance to them.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help shaking his head, ¡°You just had a ventricular fibrillation and passed out; you nearly lost your life!¡±


    The man was taken aback, ¡°Buta€| I¡¯m fine now?


    Just a bit dizzy and heart fluttersa€|¡±


    Those around also looked at Chen Cang somewhat puzzled.


    Ge Huai said, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, are we still doing the ultrasound?


    The cardiologist is also here now.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°No need for the ultrasound, wait for the blood concentration results.¡±


    The results came quickly, and the phone call came: a definitive diagnosisa€¡±acetaminophen poisoning!


    Everyone was dumbstruck all at once.


    They stared at Chen Cang with shock on their faces.


    Is that even possible?


    How could this be diagnosed?


    The patient was taken to the dialysis room for treatment and was essentially out of danger.


    But whether it was the cardiologist who came from upstairs or the emergency doctor Wu Peng, let alone everyone present, they all gaped in amazement.


    Even the doctor from the dialysis room commented, ¡°To detect this is simply amazing!¡±


    Indeed, everyone looked at Chen Cang with adoration, making him feel somewhat embarrasseda€|


    Upon returning, San Bo all focused on Chen Cang:


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen, just how is your brain wired?¡±


    ¡°Yes, how could you even know about the adverse reactions to acetaminophen?¡±


    ¡°Did you memorize the entire medication guide or what?¡±


    Chen Cang just smiled.


    Meng Xi also looked at Chen Cang with delight, ¡°Impressive!


    That actually worked!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but comment, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the teacher¡¯s good teaching!¡±


    Meng Xi couldn¡¯t hold back any longer, while San Bo all collectively flipped a middle finger.


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen, that¡¯s too much flattery!¡±


    ¡°Exactly, your flattery missed the mark, it hita€|¡±


    Meng Xi glared at the people around, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, isn¡¯t he my student if he¡¯s capable?¡±


    Everyone forced an embarrassed smile, ¡°Yes, yes, yesa€| It¡¯s all credit to Director Meng!¡±


    [Ding!


    Meng Xi¡¯s favorability +10!]


    Chen Cang smiled.


    a€|


    a€|


    p.s.: Just a note, recently there have been quite a few patients with colds in the outpatient clinic.


    Everyone should not panic, and certainly should not rush to take a bunch of cold medicines.


    Because nowadays, cold medicines are not prescription drugs, and everyone can buy them easily, but it¡¯s best not to exceed the recommended dose, especially not to take several kinds at once.


    Exceeding the dosage of medication will not increase its effectiveness, but the toxic side effects of the drugs will increase proportionally.


    Acetaminophen is generally safe, but it can cause liver damage, arrhythmia, and other serious adverse reactions in sensitive patients.


    After all, no one can be certain about probabilities, right?


    If you¡¯re sensitive, it¡¯s a hundred percent, if not, it¡¯s zero percent.


    Don¡¯t experiment with your body.


    You¡¯re not Shennong, and besidesa€| the lab rats have done the trials for you, so don¡¯t worry unnecessarily.


    p.s.: Habitual thanks to the generous patrons, thanks to Alliance Hierarch ¡°Qing Yan Xiao Guan 168¡± for the 1,000,000 reward!


    Thank you Grandmaster ¡°Zhi Li Yu Lan¡± for the 10,000 reward!

 Chapter 620 - Chapter 620 Chapter 620 A Blessing in Disguise

    ?Chapter 620: Chapter 620: A Blessing in Disguise Chapter 620: Chapter 620: A Blessing in Disguise Dialysis room.


    The patient said with a blank face, ¡°Doctor¡­


    is it really as severe as you say?¡±


    The doctor in the dialysis room and Wu Peng from the Emergency Department looked at each other and couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    ¡°Severe?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not exactly severe, but the most terrifying thing is, if the time for dialysis is delayed, it can lead to permanent liver damage, which is completely unnecessary.¡±


    After hearing this, the patient became somewhat scared, ¡°Ah¡­


    who would have thought?


    Taking cold medicine for so many years could have almost killed me.¡±


    Wu Peng looked at the patient, ¡°You¡¯re considered quite fortunate, the dialysis was timely.¡±


    ¡°Many patients don¡¯t lack treatment options, but what they lack is a timely diagnosis.¡±


    The dialysis room doctor nodded his head, ¡°Indeed, dialysis treatment for this kind of acute drug poisoning is pretty effective, but¡­


    often by the time the patient is diagnosed, it¡¯s already too late!¡±


    ¡°So, you are lucky!¡±


    ¡°I still don¡¯t understand how Chen Cang figured it out, acetaminophen poisoning?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    This kind of situation is quite rare now, isn¡¯t it?¡± the dialysis room doctor sighed, ¡°Wu Peng, are all doctors in the Emergency Department as impressive as you?¡±


    After hearing this, Wu Peng suddenly blushed, not knowing what to say.


    After much thought, he simply said, ¡°Um¡­


    Chen Cang is very impressive.¡±


    The dialysis room doctor nodded and said with some surprise, ¡°Hey¡­


    Chen Cang is simply a genius.


    How can an Emergency Department doctor even know how to prepare dialysis solution?


    This acetaminophen dialysis solution is something I¡¯m seeing for the first time!¡±


    ¡°Honestly, if the chief hadn¡¯t personally called me, I wouldn¡¯t have dared to use it.


    It¡¯s really impressive; the effect is indeed much better than regular dialysis!¡±


    Wu Peng couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°You don¡¯t know, do you?¡±


    The dialysis room doctor was taken aback, ¡°Know what?¡±


    At this moment, another senior doctor said, ¡°When there was a problem at the chemical city in Xicheng, our hospital¡¯s emergency workload was heavy, but we simply didn¡¯t have enough dialysis fluid.


    Do you know what was done?¡±


    The younger doctor shook his head, ¡°What do you do then?¡±


    The senior doctor couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Hey, at that time, when Director Wang and our Director Zhang were begging and threatening the vice president to no avail, Chen Cang came to our dialysis room and prepared the dialysis solution himself.


    Now do you understand why the director told you to confidently use Chen Cang¡¯s dialysis fluid?¡±


    At that, the younger doctor was stunned!


    ¡°Really?¡±


    The senior doctor couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, ¡°Wu Peng was there at the time, he saw Chen Cang preparing it with his own eyes.


    Ask him.¡±


    Wu Peng said emotionally, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s true.


    You didn¡¯t see the scene at that time; Director Wang was nearly in tears.¡±


    ¡°But to tell you the truth, the situation was quite urgent.


    We were running out of dialysis fluid, but patients in dire need of dialysis were panic-stricken.


    At that time, Chen Cang personally came over to prepare the dialysis fluid for us.¡±


    Listening to the doctors¡¯ chat, the patient became somewhat excited.


    They felt an incredible internal thrill.


    They had never imagined being so lucky and fortunate to encounter Chen Cang.


    At this moment, the senior doctor in the dialysis room looked at the patient and said, ¡°Hey¡­


    it¡¯s really hard to say whether you¡¯re lucky or unlucky!¡±


    ¡°To call you fortunate¡­


    to have your heart almost stop over a cold medicine overdose; I¡¯ve been a dialysis room doctor for many years, and it¡¯s rare to see such a safe drug like acetaminophen leading to dialysis due to poisoning!¡±


    ¡°But¡­


    to call you unlucky?


    You just happened to meet Chen Cang, who snatched you back from the hands of death.


    I¡¯ll be honest with you, even if Xia Gaofeng, the Director of the hospital, had been there, he might not have been able to identify the cause of the illness so quickly, because in recent years, the clinical symptoms of acetaminophen poisoning are too uncommon.¡±


    The patient gave an awkward smile as the preparation for dialysis began.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, in the office of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang with disbelief:


    ¡°Xiao Chen, can you actually prepare dialysis fluid?¡±


    Chen Cang naturally nodded, ¡°Is it difficult?¡±


    For some reason, San Bo felt an urge to punch someone upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words.


    Even the usually mild-mannered Teacher Meng couldn¡¯t help but clench his fists, ¡°Can¡¯t you stop showing off?


    Will it kill you?¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°Not at all, I just happened to have worked in the dialysis room before.¡±


    Ge Huai sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve also been there, haven¡¯t I?


    How come I didn¡¯t learn anything?¡±


    Scholar Two couldn¡¯t help but pat Ge Huai, sighing, ¡°Old Ge, why even compare yourself with Doctor Chen?


    Don¡¯t you feel it¡¯s humiliating?


    Look at me.


    I just stay quiet and watch him show off.


    That¡¯s the way to do it.¡±


    Medical work is different from other professions.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?0


    Sometimes, describing doctors as soldiers and warriors seems rather apt.


    Some doctors are like the kings of soldiers, skilled in assault, reconnaissance, tactics, shooting¡­


    knowledgeable in everything and born to be commandos,


    capable of piercing straight to the heart of the matter.


    Such strong individuals easily earn the respect of others.


    Ge Huai, not giving up, said with a sneer, ¡°Pfft, can I be the same as you guys?


    Even if I¡¯m a salted fish, I still want to be a salted fish with dreams.


    Xiao Chen, do tell us, do you have any secret techniques?


    Or is there some kind of talent that makes you so excellent?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, truly at a loss for words.


    But looking at Ge Huai¡¯s face full of hope, he sighed and said, ¡°This¡­


    is probably a matter of talent!¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang turned and walked towards the operating room.


    Leaving San Bo standing by, stupefied.


    Scholar Three glanced at Ge Huai, ¡°Why do you insist on giving him opportunities to flaunt?


    Will staying silent kill you¡­?¡±


    Ge Huai: ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Recently, to help Meng Xi quickly adapt to and become familiar with major vascular surgery, Dongda Hospital had been allocating most of these patients to Meng Xi, providing resources and support.


    And the three surgeries that night were examples of this.


    This time, all three scholars were there, performing operations with Meng Xi and Chen Cang.


    First operate, then discuss.


    It must be said, everyone truly had their moments to shine.


    Three cobblers can outsmart Zhuge Liang a€¡° what more if they are three scholars?


    The discussions were lively.


    They were busy until about eleven at night before finally wrapping up.


    Meng Xi made great progress, and Chen Cang was also continuously adapting and familiarizing himself with the insights he gained from the provincial competition.


    In the end, both of the procedures passed on to Chen Cang were ¡°Inferior Vena Cava Injury Repair Surgery.¡±


    So now, out of the seven subcategories of intrathoracic major vascular surgeries in the competition, Chen Cang already had four perfect-level surgeries, with the rest being at master level.


    ¡°Ascending Aorta Injury Repair Surgery,¡± ¡°Descending Aorta Repair Surgery,¡± ¡°Inferior Vena Cava Injury Repair Surgery,¡± ¡°Anonymous Artery Injury Repair Surgery.¡±


    Looking at this, his chances of winning seemed quite high.


    However, what he might be lacking now was probably some luck.

 Chapter 621 - Chapter 621 Chapter 621 Advanced Boss Monster

    ?Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Advanced Boss Monster Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Advanced Boss Monster After the surgery, Teacher Meng took the initiative to drive Ge Huai, Chen Cang, and a few others home.


    Sitting in the car, Chen Cang was deep in thought, realizing that he could open Director Meng¡¯s skill panel.


    This made Chen Cang happy.


    It was as exciting as sneaking a peek at Teacher Meng¡¯s privacy!


    Unfortunately¡­


    the only thing he could see were surgical skills.


    Why couldn¡¯t he see some special things?


    Helpless!


    However¡­


    Chen Cang had a thought!


    Right!


    He could now specifically improve his skills, see what Director Meng¡¯s levels were for these few surgeries, and selectively enhance them to compensate for any shortcomings.


    After watching for a while, Chen Cang nodded slightly.


    Not bad, out of these seven surgeries, Director Meng had two nearly perfect, and the rest were master level.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.?¦Ï


    In that case, his level¡­


    was pretty standard.


    There¡¯s no way he could be the second best in the country.


    But¡­


    how should he specifically improve?


    Chen Cang clicked on one of Teacher Meng¡¯s skills:


    [Ascending Aorta Injury Repair: Master Level; Special Effects: 1.


    Fast Suturing; 2.


    Precision Suturing;]


    After looking through two or three more, Chen Cang slightly frowned.


    Ge Huai, sitting in the back, who had been watching Chen Cang stare at Meng Xi, suddenly felt a bit sour: ¡°Xiao Chen, why are you always staring at Director Meng?


    You¡¯re distracting her from driving!¡±


    Meng Xi was also curious and glanced at Chen Cang: ¡°Yeah, what are you looking at me for?


    Is there something on my face?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°No, I¡¯m thinking about how you can improve your surgical skills!¡±


    This statement made Ge Huai curse inwardly: That¡¯s just too fake, right?


    If you¡¯re coveting our Teacher Meng, just say so¡­


    such a clumsy excuse!


    Meng Xi also gave Chen Cang a meaningful look and lectured, ¡°Xiao Chen, I have to talk to you about this.


    It¡¯s not right for you to beat around the bush like that.


    If you like Teacher Meng, just say so directly.


    Besides¡­


    I¡¯m your teacher!


    Be good, and don¡¯t have any inappropriate thoughts!


    Moreover¡­


    you already have someone, this isn¡¯t appropriate.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter: ¡°That¡¯s right!


    Xiao Chen, a man should have his limits; being fickle is not acceptable!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes and directly said, ¡°No, Teacher Meng, I¡¯m serious!¡±


    Meng Xi sighed, ¡°You¡¯re too young; we¡¯re not suitable¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was instantly speechless: ¡°Teacher Meng, I¡¯m really talking about your surgery; I always feel that you have some deficiencies.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Meng, look, take back my surgery videos, and watch them carefully.


    Don¡¯t just focus on the suturing; if you¡¯re going to look, observe the details, like my approach to suturing¡­¡±


    ¡°I think you are lacking in this aspect!¡±


    ¡°Also, in dealing with¡­


    you have to seriously reflect on it.¡±


    Chen Cang carefully provided a detailed analysis!


    And after hearing it, Meng Xi suddenly braked sharply!


    Because Chen Cang¡¯s words directly struck a chord with her, and after his reminder, she felt an epiphany.


    Sometimes, you need someone to point out your shortcomings and flaws.


    Only then can they help guide you out of your confusion.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, you¡¯re absolutely right.


    I also feel that way.


    I¡¯ve found that during surgery, I always emphasize the speed and density of suturing but overlook the grasp of details.


    You mentioned a lot, like blood vessel repair, it¡¯s not just about suturing the main blood vessels, but also considering prognosis, recovery¡­


    and so on!¡±


    ¡°Not bad!


    Not bad!¡±


    ¡°What you said is so right!¡±


    ¡°Take another look at my face, see if you can find any other deficiencies?¡±


    Ge Huai¡¯s eyes widened!


    Is this okay too?


    This¡­


    this is too fantastical, right?


    Talented people really have a different way of wooing women, huh?


    How did you even come up with such an excuse?


    And the most crucial point is, you made it convincing!


    Teacher Meng, oh Teacher Meng, you¡¯ve been fooled by such a clumsy excuse?


    Are you as naive as Bear Brother?


    But at this moment, Meng Xi turned around, her eyes firmly fixed on Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, take another careful look, giving you a full view, see if you can spot any weaknesses or oversights of mine!¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Meng Teacher, your button is undone!


    Dr.


    Ge, you have a nosebleed!¡±


    Ge Huai coughed, you jerk, would it kill you to enjoy some benefits?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the following two days, Meng Xi made significant breakthroughs, focusing on her weaknesses to improve.


    Chen Cang¡¯s perfect surgical video was indeed effective, at least in helping Meng Xi form her own thoughts and make the surgeries more perfect.


    The progress was very noticeable!


    At the very least, Meng Xi¡¯s surgeries in these few days had developed new strengths, such as safety and others.


    In fact, Meng Xi was very skilled in surgery; her only flaw was insufficient consideration.


    Chen Cang was the one spreading this kind of thinking.


    On Wednesday morning, just after ten, Meng Xi called Chen Cang in a hurry.


    ¡°Xiao Chen, a special patient has arrived, with a vascular malformation.


    The anonymous artery is damaged, and upon opening the chest, a complex network of vessels was discovered in the thoracic cavity, suspected to be a congenital malformationa€¡±a very rare operation.


    You can come straight to the operating room.¡±


    After receiving the call, Chen Cang immediately nodded, ¡°Okay, Meng Teacher, I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    Chen Cang hung up the phone, said goodbye to Zhang Wenfu and others, and dashed to Dongda First Hospital.


    Vascular malformation with damage to the anonymous artery?


    Very rare!


    And Chen Cang would bet such a creature was at least a rare monster!


    Or even of a higher level.


    The most important thing was its rarity; it could even be a boss monster for all he knew.


    During this time, Chen Cang¡¯s competitions had all been with models, and it had been a long while since he¡¯d encountered such a boss.


    ??¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Thinking this, his heart grew even more excited.


    In a rush, after arriving at the Second Provincial Hospital, Meng Xi was already waiting for Chen Cang outside the operating room.


    After changing into his clothes, Meng Xi said, ¡°Xiao Chen, don¡¯t talk recklessly when you go in.


    The patient is the father of Zhao, our hospital director.


    It was supposed to be an aortic aneurysm surgery, but an iatrogenic injury to the anonymous and descending veins occurred during surgery.


    Now the situation is very special, with many experts and chiefs on site, even Director Zhao is there, so don¡¯t speak out of turn.¡±


    Chen Cang understood!


    An iatrogenic injury was hard to stomach for anyone, especially when it was inflicted by one¡¯s own hospital, by one¡¯s own doctors.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Who performed the surgery?¡±


    Meng Xi sighed, ¡°Director Wei Xiang!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    Wei Xiang was also a veteran director, several years younger than Xia Gaofeng, in the prime of life, and seemed poised to become the new generation of chiefs.


    After all, Xia Gaofeng was getting on in years and would likely retire in a few.


    Wei Xiang was one of the candidates for the chief of cardiac surgery at Dongda First Hospital.


    When Meng Xi brought Chen Cang in, there were already seven or eight directors in the operating room.


    Not a single junior doctor in sight¡­


    However, Xia Gaofeng was also absent.


    Chen Cang, keeping his composure, did not put on his surgery gown but stood in place, looking at the TV screen.


    And what he saw made him somewhat dizzy!


    The patient¡¯s blood vessels seemed different from a normal person¡¯s, as the ascending aorta forked upon reaching the aortic arch.


    The anonymous artery and the ascending aortaa€¡±what was going on?


    Chen Cang himself was utterly confused by what he saw.


    During the removal of the aortic aneurysm, adhesions in the patient¡¯s thoracic cavity had caused joint damage to the vena cava and the anonymous artery.


    The surgery was at a standstill, caught between a rock and a hard place!


    In Chen Cang¡¯s eyes, a piece of information appeared!


    [Congenital Thoracic Great Vessel Mixed Injury Monster: lv75, Boss Monster!]


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: More in the afternoon; it¡¯s a new month, can I ask for some baseline monthly tickets, please?

 Chapter 622 - Chapter 622 Chapter 622 I Have a Great Idea!

    ?Chapter 622: Chapter 622: I Have a Great Idea!


    Chapter 622: Chapter 622: I Have a Great Idea!


    Leader curse!


    To grab or not to grab?


    How to grab?


    That was the question!


    Chen Cang looked at the complex thorax in front of him, where large blood vessels were entangled in confusion; it was no longer just a matter of major blood vessel injury.


    The aneurysm in the aorta hadn¡¯t been removed yet!


    The surrounding anonymous artery had already been damaged.


    The injury to the vena cava was also severe, particularly the left brachiocephalic vein, which had bled due to an incomplete separation.


    At this moment, several directors were sweating profusely!


    The nurse beside Wei Xiang kept wiping his sweat.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    Director Bo Jianming, standing nearby, also had his brow furrowed as he hurriedly dealt with the already damaged brachiocephalic vein!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    The busier they got, the more chaotic it became, and the more chaotic it became, the busier they got!


    What was most feared during thoracic major blood vessel surgery was an accident.


    Because first, there was no time for delay.


    And second, there were too many complications!


    At this time, Yang Jianshu, the chief of cardiac surgery from the Second Hospital of Dong University, was also on the side.


    Across from him was Xiong Kangyu, chief of cardiac surgery at Dongyang Bethune Hospital.


    Inside the operating room at this moment were all the well-known top directors from within Dongyang province.


    Zhao Xiuping, the dean of the First Hospital of Dong University and a person of high authority, who was also the leader of Dongyang¡¯s health care team, had long been worried upon seeing his own father facing such severe injuries.


    He was not supposed to be in the operating room; it would have been better for family members to stay away.


    After all, his presence could pressure the attending doctors.


    Zhao Xiuping understood this.


    But while he was waiting outside, a young doctor suddenly ran out and told him,


    ¡°Dean Zhao, there¡¯s trouble!


    During the surgery, an emergency occurred.


    Your father has a vascular malformation in his chest, and there has also been chronic inflammation, leading to severe adhesions inside the thoracic cavity!¡±


    ¡°While separating them, the adhesion caused severe damage to the blood vessels, leading to tears in several major thoracic vessels and significant bleeding within the chest cavity!¡±


    ¡°The situation is critical now!


    We need your signature!¡±


    With that single sentence, Zhao Xiuping was scared stiff!


    How could this happen?


    Damn¡­


    Having had others sign so many critical condition notices over the years, now being abruptly informed by a doctor that his father was in a critical situation and needing to sign a critical condition notice himself, Zhao felt panicked!


    What should he do?


    With that thought, Zhao Xiuping went straight into the operating room.


    Right!


    No one dared to stop him.


    After changing, Zhao Xiuping headed straight for the operating room.


    The surgery couldn¡¯t be completely attributed to iatrogenic causes, for the patient himself had a vascular anomaly, and during treatment, the severely adherent vessels were inherently fragile.


    If not attended to now, they could become problematic at any time!


    Wei Xiang was quite a character too.


    He understood that detaching the malformed thoracic vessels would come with great surgical risks.


    Since the anonymous artery and vein were closely attached to the tumor, it was essential to separate them before proceeding with surgery on the aneurysm.


    Upon seeing Zhao Xiuping, he looked up and said, ¡°Dean Zhao, the situation is extremely critical.


    The old man¡¯s many blood vessel walls are very fragile due to long-term adhesions, making the surgery very difficult, in addition to the congenitally malformed vessels!¡±


    ¡°My idea is to perform an artificial vascular grafting procedure to adjust and repair the major vessels, repairing the malformed vessels under extracorporeal circulation.¡±


    Wei Xiang¡¯s plan was bold!


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiuping immediately frowned, ¡°Can¡¯t the original vessels be preserved?


    He has had cerebral hemorrhage before, although not severe, and I fear that after artificial vascular grafting, long-term use of blood-activating medicine would not be good for cerebral vascular disease.¡±


    Wei Xiang fell silent, and after a while, he finally said, ¡°It¡¯s so complicated to repair, why not¡­


    contact the other directors?¡±


    Zhao Xiuping nodded and quickly contacted the directors of cardiothoracic surgery at major hospitals in the province.


    And that¡¯s how the current scene came about!


    What to do?


    Zhao Xiuping looked at Yang Jianshu and Xiong Kangyu and said, ¡°Do you two directors have any good ideas?¡±


    Yang Jianshu frowned as he looked at the adherent blood vessels that had formed collateral circulation due to malformation and said, ¡°Actually, if we were to replace with artificial vessels, there¡¯s a big problem, that is, it¡¯s very difficult to maintain the current stability!¡±


    Xiong Kangyu nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right.


    The patient¡¯s vascular malformation could be congenital.


    It was overlooked in childhood, and after growth, a compensatory collateral circulation that satisfies the body¡¯s blood supply has formed, leading to the complexity of the vessels now.


    If we are to replace them all, it won¡¯t be so simple!¡±


    ¡°But if we need to remove the aortic aneurysm, it will definitely damage both the brachiocephalic artery and the ascending aorta simultaneously, and patching both major vessels is definitely¡­¡±


    A group of experts began to discuss frantically!


    Several very serious problems now lay before them.


    When Wei Xiang heard the two directors say this, he sighed, ¡°Director Xiong, Director Yang, come take a look at this situation.


    There¡¯s no way you can separate and repair with surgery!¡±


    Indeed, the complex network of blood vessels was daunting to even look at, let alone operate on.


    Now, there were two brachiocephalic arteries and the ascending aorta had two outlets!


    Complicated!


    Troublesome!


    What to do?


    The directors quickly got into a heated discussion.


    The patient was on cardiopulmonary bypass, but even so, we couldn¡¯t delay for too long, as the longer it took, the greater the risks and chances of complications.


    And the more likely to encounter problems!


    At this moment, Chen Cang, too, was not idle, as his eyes seemed to discern these malformed vessels.


    How to decide?


    How to operate!


    Unable to help himself, Chen Cang stepped forward to examine the patient¡¯s chest cavity, and after seven or eight minutes, he had an idea.


    However, he was well aware that in such an environment and situation, it was not appropriate for him to step forward, and even if he did, it was not certain that people would be convinced.


    With this in mind, he said to Meng Xi, ¡°Director Meng, I have an idea.¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s eyes lit up, curious, she glanced at Chen Cang.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Chen Cang whispered, ¡°This way, in fact, among these vessels, one is redundant, especially the second brachiocephalic artery.


    We can now remove the second vessel, repair the wound, and then¡­¡±


    The more Meng Xi listened, the clearer it became; even the tangled vessels were sorted out clearly.


    Autologous vascular transplantation!


    This way, there¡¯s no need for artificial vessel replacement, saving a lot of trouble.


    In the recovery process later on, there¡¯s no need for long-term anticoagulant medication, causing cerebral hemorrhage!


    After listening, Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but be thrilled!


    Chen Cang¡¯s surgical plan was too good.


    She clenched her fists involuntarily.


    She understood what Chen Cang meant; he wanted her to be the one to speak out.


    With that thought, she stepped forward and said decisively, ¡°I have an idea.¡±


    Her voice immediately interrupted everyone in the room.


    They all looked up, and upon seeing Meng Xi, frowned.


    ¡°Director Meng, what is your idea?¡±


    Zhao Xiuping looked over, ¡°Director Meng, what¡¯s your good idea?¡±

 Chapter 623 - Chapter 623 Chapter 623 The Best is Yet to Come!

    ?Chapter 623: Chapter 623: The Best is Yet to Come!


    (Sixth Release, Asking for Monthly Passes) Chapter 623: Chapter 623: The Best is Yet to Come!


    (Sixth Release, Asking for Monthly Passes) Meng Xi nodded, ¡°It¡¯s just an idea, everyone listen first.¡±


    ¡°Although the patient has a deformed blood vessel with a large number of both useful and useless collateral circulations, at this time¡­it¡¯s not necessarily a bad thing!¡±


    The crowd was immediately taken aback!


    This isn¡¯t a bad thing?


    Could there be anything worse?


    Meng Xi didn¡¯t wait for anyone to speak and directly said, ¡°Actually, we can make use of these superfluous blood vessels right now!¡±


    After speaking, Meng Xi began gesturing at the blood vessels inside the thoracic cavity.


    ¡°First of all, we need to clarify the intricate blood vessel situation.


    Although they are deformed vessels, we can still categorize them based on function¡­¡±


    ¡°In this way, we can completely choose to remove the redundant vessels and then, during vascular transplantation, we can perform autologous vessel transplantation here¡­


    Simultaneously, we¡¯ll completely excise the severely damaged collateral circulation, also opting for transplantation of compensatory autologous vessels¡­¡±


    ¡°Next would be the separation and repair work.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    But who in the room wasn¡¯t a director, observing everything keenly and understanding perfectly well?


    After hearing Meng Xi¡¯s words, their eyes suddenly lit up!


    ¡°Great idea!¡±


    ¡°Brilliant!¡±


    ¡°Director Meng is amazing!¡±


    Several of them couldn¡¯t help but praise simultaneously.


    However, this brought up another issue.


    Wei Xiang said, ¡°Director Meng, you might not know, the patient¡¯s adhesions are severe.


    To separate them requires very precise manipulation.


    Directors, who will perform it?¡±


    As soon as this question was raised, Xiong Kangyu and Yang Jianshu looked at each other.


    Seeing that no one spoke up, Wei Xiang also sighed, ¡°I was a bit too rough just now, and I caused damage to the vena cava¡­


    So, I¡¯m definitely out of the question.¡±


    This wasn¡¯t just a matter of performing surgery now.


    It involved the dexterity of separating the severely adhered large blood vessels in the thoracic cavity and decisively dealing with the damaged tissues!


    The tissues that should be retained must be preserved, and those that should be excised must be removed!


    But at the same time, it was critical to plan and utilize those compensatory vessels.


    So, who should step in?


    The two directors exchanged glances and sighed; at this time, someone had to step forward.


    However, Wei Xiang had already caused iatrogenic damage; if they stepped in, were they immune to such errors?


    Surgery was ultimately a young person¡¯s game; with age, one¡¯s hands might be steady, but they were no longer skillful enough.


    It was at this moment that Meng Xi said, ¡°I have a candidate!¡±


    Suddenly!


    Everyone stared at Meng Xi: ¡°Who?¡±


    Zhao Xiuping¡¯s eyes widened with urgency, ¡°Director Meng, tell us, who is it?¡±


    At that moment, Zhao Xiuping was truly grasping at the last straw.


    Meng Xi turned and said, ¡°Chen Cang, come over here!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, stepped forward and greeted, ¡°Hello, directors.¡±


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, Yang Jianshu¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, ¡°Chen Cang!?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded in acknowledgment.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    Xiong Kangyu and Zhao Xiuping, clearly not familiar with Chen Cang, naturally¡­didn¡¯t find him credible.


    Zhao Xiuping didn¡¯t say it out loud, but¡­he really did have some trust issues.


    After all, it¡¯s his own father we¡¯re talking about!


    How could he allow just anyone to operate?


    Shouldn¡¯t he get to know the person first?


    Seeing this, Meng Xi said, ¡°Dean Zhao, actually, the idea I just mentioned was thought of by Chen Cang.¡±


    This statement left everyone dumbfounded.


    Xiong Kangyu¡¯s eyes were wide open, somewhat in disbelief that such an excellent idea came from such a young doctor.


    Although Zhao Xiuping was nervous, he looked at Chen Cang with anxious anticipation, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, are you¡­capable?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and replied calmly, ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any problem.¡±


    Everyone was at a loss for words!


    Watching Chen Cang¡¯s casual demeanor and tone, no one knew quite what to say¡­


    Wasn¡¯t that a bit too confident?


    Zhao Xiuping was nervous yet unsettled, hoping that Chen Cang had such strength¡­


    ¡°Then, please take care of it!¡±


    After donning the surgical gown, Chen Cang stepped forward and took over the scalpel.


    Yang Jianshu nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll help out.¡±


    Xiong Kangyu was also ready.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes turned to Chen Cang and watched him.


    At this moment, Chen Cang saw the major blood vessel in the thoracic cavity with even clearer understanding than before.


    The surgery began¡­


    Chen Cang was still removing the tumor mass, smoothly cutting off a part of the adherent anonymous artery in the process with decisive efficiency.


    Because the main vessel already had an external blood loop, but the collateral circulation was different, consisting of smaller blood vessels, and supplying blood to the spinal cord and such, so utmost caution was necessary.


    At that time, Chen Cang¡¯s fingers, like precise instruments, meticulously separated the vessels bit by bit with the precision of a computer.


    The entire process could not afford any negligence; one false move could result in damage!


    Therefore, utmost caution was imperative!


    Be very careful, then more careful!


    Yet, Chen Cang¡¯s operations could be called as precise as a computer, with not a single error.


    This set of delicate maneuvers left several directors speechless with wide-open mouths!


    At a loss for words!


    Wasn¡¯t this too incredible?


    To not have a single error, how formidable!


    The directors exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other¡¯s eyes.


    Meanwhile, Meng Xi glanced at the crowd and smiled slightly, surprised already?


    The real show was still to come!


    Indeed, Chen Cang¡¯s subsequent maneuvers turned into a precise work of art!


    Extremely accurate excision, trimming, suturing¡­


    as if everything was scripted just right, the vascular repair was almost flawless!


    The entire process could be called perfect!


    The previously severely damaged anonymous artery was directly excised by Chen Cang, and the malformed second vessel was used as a replacement, with a basically similar shape and structure, unaffected a€¡± the only difference being the insufficient length!


    But Chen Cang¡¯s anonymous artery repair surgery was of perfect caliber; such a difficulty was nothing to him.


    Hence, the following work turned into a show!


    Exactly.


    Everyone watched Chen Cang, with breaths growing rapid and the heat fogging up their glasses.


    They couldn¡¯t see the surgery, yet they were exceedingly anxious!


    But it was obviously inappropriate to not wear a mask¡­


    A helpless situation!


    They could only calm down a bit and wait for the glasses to defog.


    Every step of Chen Cang¡¯s surgery was meticulously planned, with the vascular patches for the damaged areas using the body¡¯s own tissue as much as possible.


    Time ticked away second by second.


    The people around stood¡­


    watched¡­


    they all grew tired from watching!


    Yet, Chen Cang showed no sign of heartbeats, nor a trace of fatigue in his movements.


    Several senior directors couldn¡¯t help but lament the benefits of being young and strong!


    They had to acknowledge the passage of time.


    After four continuous hours, Chen Cang¡¯s surgery finally ended perfectly.


    And at that time, when people looked into the thoracic cavity,


    The inflammatory adhesions had been thoroughly cleared, and the malformed complex thoracic blood vessels were also much more orderly.


    At that moment, everyone was stunned!


    The way they looked at Chen Cang was filled with disbelief.


    He was too incredible!


    Not to mention anything else, just the mastery in major blood vessel surgery alone made Chen Cang no less outstanding than everyone present!


    No!


    He might even be stronger than them.


    Transforming from a master to perfection is a process that might never be completed in a lifetime.


    Yet, Chen Cang had done it.


    Xiong Kangyu watched the scene with disbelief etched across his face, wondering when such a genius appeared in Dongyang Province!


    He might be even more formidable than Guo Yunfei, right?


    ¡­

    PS: Here¡¯s the sixth update!


    In search of monthly tickets

 Chapter 624 - Chapter 624 Chapter 624 Huge Explosion!

    ?Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Huge Explosion!


    (Vote for Monthly Ticket) Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Huge Explosion!


    (Vote for Monthly Ticket) One couldn¡¯t fault Xiong Kangyu for his utterly shocked expression!


    It could only be said that Chen Cang¡¯s skills were incredibly formidable.


    To tell the truth, Xiong Kangyu had not admired a young person to such an extent in a long time.


    Xiong Kangyu was the director of the Bethune Hospital in Dongyang Province, as well as the chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery!


    And Bethune Hospital is a branch of Fuwai, with Xiong Kangyu also hailing from Fuwai!


    Back in 2010, under the directive of Dongyang Provincial Government to build a high-level, high-standard hospital within three years, they invited Xiong Kangyu over in the hopes he would take charge of the big picture.


    It should be noted that Dongyang, as a central province with a dense population, wasn¡¯t quite as populous as Nanhe Province or Beihe Province, but it was significantly more populated than Jin Province.


    As the capital city of the province, Anyang City lacked in medical resources, hence the birth of Bethune Hospital.


    Xiong Kangyu was a doctoral supervisor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences¡¯ Fuwai, but over the years, he had rarely taken on students.


    However, at this moment, after seeing Chen Cang¡¯s hands at work, Xiong Kangyu truly felt moved!


    Unlike others, he dared to think and act, speak his mind, and follow through with his actions.


    Whatever he wanted to do, he would devote himself fully to it.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.?¦Ï


    Otherwise, how could he have taken on the monumental task of establishing Bethune Hospital?


    This surgery performed by Chen Cang really struck a chord with Xiong Kangyu.


    It met his expectations and demands of a student!


    The operation was nothing short of perfect; he could see that Chen Cang was an unpolished gem!


    So young, yet so highly skilled, Xiong Kangyu wished he could grab him for himself.


    With focused training, it wouldn¡¯t take more than three to five years for him to stand on his own.


    Thinking this, Xiong Kangyu kept a calm expression, but had made up his mind to thoroughly investigate this young man.


    After all, such an outstanding young person couldn¡¯t possibly remain unknown.


    The surgery gradually approached its conclusion.


    Yang Jianshu exclaimed with great satisfaction; such a surgery was a rare spectacle indeed.


    He almost wished he could take it apart and do it all over again!


    But¡­


    Director Zhao would certainly not be pleased.


    Understandable, understandable!


    After all, it¡¯s his own father¡­


    Wei Xiang, on the other hand, finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    If it had not been for Chen Cang today, he¡­


    might have found himself in quite a bit of trouble.


    Although the main reason wasn¡¯t really related to Wei Xiang, if the patient had truly passed away¡­


    that would have been Director Zhao¡¯s own father.


    How old is Director Zhao?


    52 years old!


    He could still work for several more years, at the very least.


    With these thoughts, Wei Xiang moved to stretch his body, only to suddenly feel a chill on his back; his shirt was already soaked through.


    The temperature in the operating room wasn¡¯t high, and cardiac surgeries needed to be kept at low temperatures as well.


    Even so, he was drenched in sweat.


    With that in mind, he looked gratefully at Chen Cang.


    He definitely had to thank him properly.


    Speaking frankly, the success or failure of this surgery was directly tied to his own future and career prospects.


    It was known that Wei Xiang was at a critical juncture; the current department head, Director Xia, was 58 and was no longer allowed to supervise graduate students, and would retire at 60.


    Wei Xiang was the most likely candidate for the director¡¯s position.


    At this moment, after finishing the surgery, Chen Cang simply said, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s done!¡±


    Xiong Kangyu, Yang Jianshu, and the others had prepared a belly full of praises, but¡­


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s indifferent tone, as if he had just performed an appendectomy, their enthusiasm plummeted.


    This kid¡­


    You should be happy after such an amazing surgery, right?


    You should be excited, right?


    There should be at least a bit of emotional fluctuation, shouldn¡¯t there!


    Unfortunately, Chen Cang didn¡¯t have anyone to praise him.


    This left everyone wanting to praise him but not knowing howa€|


    Fortunately, there was someone in the operating room who did just that.


    Dean Zhao Xiuping hurried over, looking at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen?


    How was it¡­¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°Dean Zhao doesn¡¯t have to worry anymore, the operation was very successful!


    And it went smoothly, now he just needs to be hospitalized to observe his prognosis.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiuping immediately breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°Doctor Chen, I really can¡¯t thank you enough!¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you today, ah¡­


    the consequences would be unimaginable!¡±


    When Chen Cang heard this, he shook his head, ¡°Dean Zhao, you are mistaken with your words.¡±


    Zhao Xiuping blinked in surprise, and those around him also fixed their gaze on Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang went on to say, ¡°Actually, you should also sincerely thank Director Wei.


    His timely treatment of the patient ensured the operation¡¯s stability and prevented any accidents!¡±


    ¡°For such a ruptured abnormal blood vessel accompanied by severe thoracic adhesions, it¡¯s not just the operation that is difficult, but also the ability to handle emergencies such as immediate bleeding control!¡±


    ¡°So, without Director Wei and the anesthesiologist teacher¡¯s stabilization of the patient, I wouldn¡¯t be able to guarantee the success of the surgery.¡±


    At those words, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up, and their perception of Chen Cang suddenly changed dramatically.


    Wei Xiang was so moved at this moment he almost cried!


    His nose felt a bit tingly.


    He didn¡¯t expect Chen Cang to speak up for him at this time.


    Although Chen Cang often came to the department, Wei Xiang had never taken the initiative to greet him and seldom showed him a friendly face, because in his eyes, Chen Cang was just a junior doctor.


    But now, the warmth in Wei Xiang¡¯s heart was truly like the sunlight of early spring.


    Similarly, the anesthesiologist also inwardly sighed, what a good man Doctor Chen was!


    ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Xiong Kangyu and Yang Jianshu looked at each other and saw appreciation in each other¡¯s eyes.


    This guy, not only was his ability high, his emotional intelligence was really something too!


    This one sentence managed to immediately change everyone¡¯s feelings inside.


    Xiong Kangyu nodded, ¡°Indeed, Dean Zhao, Doctor Chen makes a good point¡­


    Director Wei¡­¡±


    After everyone said their piece, Zhao Xiuping nodded gratefully.


    ¡°Thank you, everyone!¡±


    ¡°Thank you so much!¡±


    ¡°Dean Xiong, shall we have lunch together?


    Let¡¯s go back after eating¡­


    Today¡¯s events really scared me!¡±


    A few people smiled and didn¡¯t refuse.


    Just as Chen Cang came out of the operating room, he heard the system¡¯s notification sound!


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, you have repaired a mixed injury of abnormal intrathoracic large blood vessels, a boss monster!


    Congratulations, you¡¯ve earned: 1.


    Level +1; 2.


    A purple-quality level four surgery Skill Book; 3.


    A purple-quality protective mask]


    Upon receiving the notification, Chen Cang¡¯s face immediately brightened!


    It was indeed a big loot!


    Out came the purple-quality equipment.


    And a level four surgery Skill Book?


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, your level has increased to 39!]


    Chen Cang felt that today¡¯s surgery couldn¡¯t have been better.


    In the blink of an eye, he was up to level 40, meaning he could soon learn a level four surgery skill!


    He promptly opened the Skill Book!


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, you¡¯ve obtained the Cardiac Rupture Repair technique, Master Level!


    Note: Not yet learnable.]


    Wow¡­


    one of the emergency godsends, the Cardiac Rupture Repair technique!


    Could he really obtain it?


    [Protective Mask: Defense +20; Note: A special protective mask that significantly reduces the chances of bacterial and droplet infection.]


    Seeing this, Chen Cang took a deep breath.


    Today was truly too delightful!


    Stay calm, stay calm!

 Chapter 625 - Chapter 625 Chapter 625 The Promotion of Chen Cang (Part 1)

    ?Chapter 625: Chapter 625: The Promotion of Chen Cang (Part 1) Chapter 625: Chapter 625: The Promotion of Chen Cang (Part 1) A meal took less than an hour, such is the gathering of medical staff.


    They arrive in haste and leave in haste, even taking leftovers to go.


    Mm!


    Never think that all doctors are tycoons, in fact, they¡¯re a bunch of penny pinchers¡­


    That¡¯s right!


    At least the two boxes of siu mai in Chen Cang¡¯s hands say so¡­


    Chen Cang was thrilled, today¡¯s gains were bulging at the seams, and now he even had an extra meal for tonight¡¯s night shift!


    Moreover, if Chen Cang wasn¡¯t mistaken, the box on the left contained shrimp siu mai, which was pricier, for him to eat!


    The one on the right was pork and green onion, more to go around, for Lele and the others.


    Perfect!


    Xiong Kangyu did not go straight back to the hospital but instead made inquiries about Chen Cang.


    After learning about him!


    Xiong Kangyu¡¯s eyes turned green with envy.


    Well, well!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    An ordinary doctor from the Emergency Department of the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Just made a regular staff member!


    Xiong Kangyu seemed to realize that if he trained him with great effort, he could definitely make it.


    Thinking this, Xiong Kangyu felt that when he returned, he must seriously consider and study this matter, as Xiong Kangyu was unlike others.


    His word was law in the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, and what¡¯s more!


    The great Director Xiong, to build a new Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, was that even a problem?


    After all, with already five Cardiothoracic Departments, one more didn¡¯t make any difference.


    And after the afternoon shift began.


    Zhao Xiuping directly called Meng Xi and Wei Xiang to the president¡¯s office.


    He asked straightforwardly, ¡°What about Doctor Chen Cang?¡±


    Wei Xiang didn¡¯t know much, but he shared what he did know, ¡°His cardiothoracic surgical skills are quite exceptional, he has strong emergency response capabilities, and he¡¯s representing Dongyang Province in the National Cardiothoracic Surgery Skills Competition this year.


    I reckon he¡¯ll win a very respectable place.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, from his surgeries, surgical skills, techniques¡­


    his abilities seem to be stronger than those of Guo Yunfei from the Cardiovascular Hospital, a rare talent in the field of cardiothoracic surgery, who, with proper training, can achieve great things.¡±


    Wei Xiang¡¯s assessment of Chen Cang was high enough!


    Zhao Xiuping turned to Meng Xi, ¡°Xiao Meng, what do you think?¡±


    Meng Xi looked at President Zhao and nodded, ¡°Actually¡­


    Director Wei doesn¡¯t know Chen Cang well enough, his expertise is not in cardiothoracic surgery!¡±


    Wei Xiang immediately looked sidelong, ¡°Oh?¡±


    Zhao Xiuping was also curious as he watched Meng Xi.


    Meng Xi proceeded to say, ¡°The surgical field that Chen Cang excels in!¡±


    ¡°It seems he possesses a particularly strong intuition for surgery, picking up skills very quickly.


    For any operation, just a few days are enough for him to quickly master it, if not to excel even more!¡±


    ¡°What would you think if I told you that Chen Cang has only been exposed to cardiothoracic surgery for two months now?¡±


    The moment these words were spoken, both were stunned.


    Wei Xiang¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°How is that possible?¡±


    Meng Xi sighed, ¡°If it were me, I wouldn¡¯t believe it either!


    But I am Chen Cang¡¯s teacher, I¡¯ve witnessed his growth firsthand, from pericardial to major thoracic vascular surgery, his progress in picking up the technique has been very fast, and he¡¯s immensely talented and intuitive, deft of hand, his hands are simply those of a born surgeon.


    To tell you the truth, his surgeries are almost all self-taught; I can¡¯t really teach him anything!¡±


    ¡°And that¡¯s not all!¡±


    ¡°You know about Jing Ran from Thoracic Surgery, right?


    What if I said¡­


    Doctor Chen¡¯s thoracic surgical ability surpasses that of Doctor Jing, what would you think?¡±


    ¡°And if I added that Chen Cang has published three high-impact factor international articles on hepatobiliary surgery, what would you think?


    He¡¯s a board member of Dongyang Province¡¯s Hepatobiliary Surgery Association, having improved procedures such as: minimally invasive appendectomy, laparoscopic surgery for tiny incisions, and near-hepatic vein injury repair operations, what would you think?¡±


    ¡°Oh!


    And I¡¯ve heard that Chen Cang is also proficient in hand surgery, I¡¯m not too familiar with the others though¡­¡±


    After Meng Xi finished speaking, the entire office fell silent!


    Is this even human?


    At that moment, Qian Liang pushed the door and entered.


    Seeing the three of them, he said, ¡°Eh?


    Busy?¡±


    Zhao Xiuping quickly replied, ¡°Not busy, Old Qian, I have an idea, take a seat and listen.¡±


    Qian Liang nodded, ¡°Speak.¡±


    Zhao Xiuping slowly said, ¡°I want to bring over Chen Cang!


    What do you think?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qian Liang slapped the table, ¡°Good idea!


    How do we pull him in?


    ?0¦Í??.?¦Ï


    You tell me, Old Zhao!


    I¡¯ll cooperate!¡±


    With that one sentence, Zhao Xiuping was taken aback¨Cafter all, Qian Liang often contradicted him, so this degree of compliance was somewhat unsettling!


    ¡°Old Qian¡­


    you¡¯re really going along with this?¡±


    Qian Liang sighed, ¡°Let me tell you, Old Zhao, if Chen Cang were five years older, I¡¯d dare to bring him over as a deputy director!¡±


    Zhao Xiuping was dumbfounded.


    ¡°How about we find a time to take him out for a good chat?¡±


    Qian Liang nodded, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll let my nephew set up a scene!¡±


    Zhao Xiuping was stunned¡­


    ¡°Have your nephew set up a scene?


    Isn¡¯t that a bit rash?¡±


    Qian Liang smiled mysteriously, ¡°My nephew and he are classmates; it¡¯s more convenient to call him out this way, and¡­


    we mustn¡¯t scare off the snake!


    Because, you see, Little Chen is surrounded by Director Qin¡¯s informants¡­¡±


    His words left everyone a bit confused.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang hurried back to the hospital, intending to nap for an hour in the duty room at noon.


    And today was the day for the hospital¡¯s strategy meeting.


    The communication between the heads of departments had been concluded in the morning, and it was around four in the afternoon.


    Suddenly, Qin Xiaoyuan received a call, ¡°Old Qin, does your hospital have a Chen Cang?¡±


    After receiving the call, Qin Xiaoyuan paused briefly, ¡°Yes, what about him?¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­


    how do I put it?


    Many hospitals have been inquiring about Chen Cang with me, asking whether it¡¯s convenient to transfer him.


    Dean Xiong at Bethune Hospital called me at noon, and just now, Director Zhao Xiuping from Dongda Yiyuan called me as well.


    You see¡­¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s expression changed, and he said hurriedly, ¡°About that, leader, a critical patient just came in, I¡¯ll call you back in a bit!¡±


    After hanging up, Old Qin¡¯s face revealed a hint of anxiety, ¡°Well done!


    You little rascal¡­


    Just because I spanked you, you hold such a grudge!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know where you¡¯ve strutted off to now; look what¡¯s happened¡­


    they all want to snatch you away from me!¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t you just keep a low profile for once?


    The ancients have said, ¡®Hide your talents and live a low-key life¡¯¡­¡±


    ¡°This bastard!¡±


    After hanging up, Qin Xiaoyuan immediately contacted various deans and secretaries to convene an emergency meeting!


    A few minutes later, inside the meeting room.


    Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly said, ¡°I have something to tell you all.


    You all know Chen Cang, right?


    He¡¯s about to represent our province of Dongyang in the national cardiothoracic surgery competition, and I¡¯ve heard that he¡¯s very likely to win one of the top three positions!¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, in March, we are going to establish a hand surgery base with Jishuitan, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, and the Sixth Hospital of Modu City.¡±


    ¡°For our Provincial Second Hospital, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!¡±


    ¡°However, there¡¯s a problem right in front of us now, and I¡¯m very anxious, not knowing what to do.


    Let¡¯s have a good discussion and see if we can come up with a good solution!¡±


    At this point, everyone looked at Qin Xiaoyuan curiously.


    And Tan Liguo suddenly said, ¡°Could it be¡­


    someone wants to snatch Chen Cang from us?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was surprised and inwardly pleased as he looked at Secretary Tan, not bad, huh!


    They are willing to perform this double act with me?!


    Qin Xiaoyuan slapped the table, ¡°Exactly!


    Many hospitals have set their sights on Chen Cang now and have learned about the hand surgery base, so, someone wants to take our Chen Cang away.


    Let¡¯s discuss what to do!¡±


    After all the deans heard this, they immediately slapped the table, full of righteous indignation, ¡°No way!¡±


    ¡°Dream on!¡±


    ¡°Forget it!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at their spirited reactions and was very satisfied.


    That¡¯s the spirit!


    Tan Liguo was even more angry as he said, ¡°These people are despicable; just as Chen Cang is starting to flourish, they want to snatch him away, impossible!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan said with a heavy sense of emotion, ¡°Right, that¡¯s what I think too, but¡­


    unfortunately, we can¡¯t compete with the tempting offers they¡¯re making.


    We can¡¯t just refuse to let him go, right?


    So¡­


    everyone, think of some good ideas to keep Chen Cang!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: For now, two updates.


    There will be more tomorrow, continuing to add more.


    I¡¯m asking for your monthly votes, haha!


    Thanks to brother ¡°Weifan Weifan¡± for the 10,000 reward, so grateful!

 Chapter 626 - Chapter 626 Chapter 626 The Promotion of Chen Cang (Part 2)

    ?Chapter 626: Chapter 626: The Promotion of Chen Cang (Part 2) Chapter 626: Chapter 626: The Promotion of Chen Cang (Part 2) Everyone seated here is exceptionally shrewd!


    They have a very clear understanding of the situation in their hearts.


    Can Chen Cang leave?


    He definitely cannot!


    If he really had to leave, it would be him leaving, but not the position.


    Even if he went out, he would still belong to the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Why?


    Because what does Chen Cang represent now?


    He represents the development trend of the Second Provincial Hospital, the achievements of everyone here.


    Not to mention anything else, the Hand Surgery Research Base established in March, in collaboration with the three giants of the industry, the Sixth Hospital in Modu City, Jishuitan in the capital, and Nantong University Affiliated Hospital.


    With just a little resource allocation, this could lead the hand surgery department of the Second Provincial Hospital on a path of rise and soaring growth.


    By then, once the research funding is in place and some research talents are brought in, the construction of the hand surgery base at the Second Provincial Hospital would naturally take its course.


    This is still an important national-level subject project!


    This is a rare and good thing for both the improvement of the Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s research capability and its clinical capacity.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    And, frustratingly, all this is built upon Chen Cang¡¯s presence at the Second Provincial Hospital.


    To put it bluntly, as everyone here understands: this hand surgery clinical research base, in essence, is where Chen Cang goes, it goes!


    This is a typical ¡°bundled sale¡± with Chen Cang.


    But!


    You just can¡¯t do anything about it.


    After all, what those bigwigs and the hospital value is not our Second Provincial Hospital, but Chen Cang himself!


    Thinking of this, everyone felt a nameless sorrow.


    There was even a sense of helplessness, as if the guest was bullying the hosta€|


    When did the arrival and departure of a junior doctor become such a heart-wrenching issue for a group of deans and secretaries?


    Alasa€|


    At this moment, Hao Xuliang, the vice-president in charge of research, took a deep breath and said, ¡°Chen Cang, he cannot leave!¡±


    Everyone gave him a look, who didn¡¯t know he couldn¡¯t leave?


    Did that even need to be said?


    Hao Xuliang continued, ¡°You probably don¡¯t understand, there aren¡¯t many people who know about Chen Cang right now, and he hasn¡¯t yet caught the attention of the major hospitals.


    Just wait until he participates in the national cardiovascular surgery skill contest, and if¡­¡±


    ¡°What if, by any chance, he carelessly wins the championshipa€¡±do you think those top-tier AAA hospitals won¡¯t vie for him?¡±


    That one sentence left everyone at a loss for words!


    Right!


    To put it plainly, Chen Cang isn¡¯t very famous yet, only within the province.


    But what if¡­


    This guy inadvertently wins first place in the national cardiovascular surgery skill contest.


    That would be his big break.


    Now they are actually hoping that Chen Cang isn¡¯t too outstanding.


    By then, such a ranking would carry a lot of weight within the industry.


    Although it¡¯s only in the field of cardiovascular surgery, which major AAA hospital doesn¡¯t have a cardiovascular department?


    Who wouldn¡¯t want a rising star to boost their development?


    Then, Chen Cang¡¯s extraordinary talent in cardiovascular surgery, coupled with the bundled hand surgery natural science research project.


    He¡¯d be a national hot commodity!


    Where wouldn¡¯t they offer him a directorship?


    The words of Director Hao immediately made everyone¡¯s faces fill with worry.


    They looked at Qin Xiaoyuan with unease.


    ¡°Director Qin, what do you think would be best to do?¡±


    ¡°Right!


    Director Qin, what is your opinion?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was also extremely conflicted at this moment.


    Just a few months ago, he might have been very eager for Chen Cang to stay, to build up the Second Provincial Hospital and develop it further.


    But now¡­


    Old Qin¡¯s thoughts had begun to spread wide.


    Gold will shine anywhere.


    But Chen Cang clearly isn¡¯t gold!


    This kid is unmistakably a pink diamond, crystal clear, and his light¡­


    his brilliance is far-reaching.


    If before he was just a rough diamond, now after being polished, he has started to show his edge.


    It won¡¯t be long before he soars to the skies.


    Keep him?


    Or send him away?


    Old Qin was also quite torn.


    Is it better out there?


    Definitely!


    Not just a little bit better than Dongyang.


    Advanced medical environment, superb medical standards, top-tier talent teams¡­


    For Chen Cang, if he is cultivated well, it¡¯s undoubtedly a good thing.


    If he develops in those big Triple-A hospitals, like Zhou Hongguang, his ceiling is higher, he could become an academician!


    Similarly, is Qian Liang impressive?


    Of course he is, but¡­


    he might never become an academician in his lifetime because the platform of the Eastern University First Hospital isn¡¯t sufficient to support Qian Liang¡¯s rise to an academician.


    This isn¡¯t about connections!


    It¡¯s about the foundation for research, clinical work¡­


    These are significant gaps.


    That¡¯s the disparity!


    The platforms themselves have huge gaps!


    But¡­


    likewise, the bigger the platform, the more complex the environment.


    Is the academic circle really that clean?


    Even winning a Nobel prize doesn¡¯t guarantee becoming an academician, so what are you in comparison?


    Qin Xiaoyuan was an old hand, having hustled through many years, he saw these issues very clearly.


    Whether you can become an academician or not, whether you can be amazing, it¡¯s not for you to say!


    To put it bluntly,


    Sometimes!


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã0


    Just give you the platform, give you the resources, you¡¯ll make it even if you shouldn¡¯t!


    Give you nothing, and even if you should make it, you won¡¯t!


    Chen Cang is just beginning to emerge, it¡¯s not certain he¡¯d be able to stand against those people if he went, nor is he likely to attract enough attention from the big shots.


    To put it plainly, he lacks a protective umbrella.


    However, Qin Xiaoyuan felt that staying in Dongyang for too long would definitely limit Chen Cang¡¯s development.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was mentally exhausted!


    As Chen Cang¡¯s father-in-law, he wanted to plan a future for Chen Cang, not necessarily pave the way for him, but at least to be able to tell him what lies ahead!


    Is there a middle-ground solution?


    With that thought, Qin Xiaoyuan closed his eyes and began to ponder seriously.


    In the entire office, seven or eight people all started to think.


    To be a bit self-interested, what Qin Xiaoyuan was considering now was not how the Second Provincial Hospital was going to develop.


    Frankly speaking, whether Chen Cang is there or not, wouldn¡¯t it still be able to develop?


    What he cared about most was how Chen Cang would develop in the future¡­


    At this time, other directors below also had some ideas.


    Li Jianwei spoke up directly, ¡°Why not make Chen Cang the deputy director of emergency medicine?¡±


    Hao Xuliang shook his head, ¡°Our Dongshan experimental base is lacking a deputy director, why not let Chen Cang fill the role temporarily?


    At least it would show him enough importance?¡±


    Another director said, ¡°I think it is better to teach according to his talent.


    Establish the hand surgery department as soon as possible, make Chen Cang the director, and hold a concurrent post as the deputy director of emergency medicine.¡±


    Hearing the suggestions from the others around, Secretary Tan shook his head, ¡°I have an idea!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at Secretary Tan.


    Tan Liguo spoke slowly, ¡°The departments in the small western building have also moved to the main building.


    Why don¡¯t we vacate the small western building completely, relocate the emergency department there, and establish an emergency building, with emergency medicine on the first floor, emergency cardiology on the second, emergency general surgery on the third, emergency hand surgery on the fourth, and the emergency inpatient department on the fifth and sixth floors!¡±


    ¡°And as for Chen Cang, now that I have learned a bit about him, he is an emergency medicine talent.


    Instead of sending him to be the deputy director of cardiology or to the Dongshan laboratory, why not give him a new platform and let him be the deputy director of the emergency building!¡±

 Chapter 627 - Chapter 627 Chapter 627 The Promotion of Chen Cang (Part 3)

    ?Chapter 627: Chapter 627: The Promotion of Chen Cang (Part 3) Chapter 627: Chapter 627: The Promotion of Chen Cang (Part 3) Tan Liguo continued, ¡°We, ah, must fully grant him sufficient autonomy, and moreover, Li Baoshan is a veteran comrade, he is fully capable of taking control!¡±


    ¡°With Li Baoshan present, he can definitely steer Chen Cang in the right direction!¡±


    ¡°And Chen Cang, he will have enough room to develop, and we could promise him, that in the future, he will be the head of the emergency department!¡±


    ¡°In doing so, we not only provide Chen Cang with a real platform for development but also offer substantive rewards and promise a future!¡±


    ¡°What does everyone think?¡±


    Everyone was stunned!


    This¡­


    was no simple department head!


    This was practically a little hospital director, no?


    What Tan Liguo meant was to build the emergency department into a major emergency building.


    And Chen Cang would be the deputy director of this emergency building, the future director.


    And grant him sufficient autonomy.


    To speak plainly, by that time, Li Baoshan¡¯s powers, even Chen Cang¡¯s powers, would be more formidable than many deputy directors.


    In hospitals, there is an unwritten rule!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.??


    Basically, whichever department the director comes from, that department is to be vigorously developed.


    Just like after Qin Xiaoyuan took office, the oncology department of the Second Provincial Hospital became one of the top three in the province, with five oncology wards in the inpatient building!


    Now, all of a sudden, there¡¯s talk of building an emergency building.


    This isn¡¯t something that can be settled with a few words; it means this year¡¯s end budget goes to the emergency department.


    This is a significant event in the development of the Second Provincial Hospital.


    As soon as these words were spoken, all the directors and secretaries around were taken aback.


    Qin Xiaoyuan included!


    Because, ah, this little western building was intentionally vacated by Qin Xiaoyuan, who wanted to develop it into an oncological surgery center specializing in cancer surgeries.


    After all, the most appropriate direction for the Second Provincial Hospital to develop now was oncological surgery, since the vigorous development of the oncology department led to a surge in patients, and not establishing oncological surgery would be the biggest waste!


    If the Second Provincial Hospital set up an oncology surgery department, it would be very beneficial to the hospital¡¯s development.


    Before Qin Xiaoyuan could speak, Li Jianwei had preemptively said:


    ¡°This is not proper, our hospital¡¯s future development focus should be on oncological surgery, and the western building¡¯s development plan is just the same; we cannot change the hospital¡¯s development direction for the sake of one issue with Chen Cang.¡±


    The director in charge also nodded, ¡°Exactly, and I think that Chen Cang doesn¡¯t possess such ability right now, to stand alone and become the deputy director of the emergency building!¡±


    This deputy director¡¯s power would be far more formidable than those of ordinary department heads like in internal and surgical disciplines!


    Once the emergency building was established, this place would become the hub for hospital patients.


    Whoever Chen Cang favored would become apparent, illustrating the power involved!


    ¡°Exactly, Chen Cang is too younga€| This is inappropriate!¡± the deputy secretary also said, seconding the opinion.


    Far from being unhappy, Tan Liguo remained silent.


    Because some things were not said for everyone to hear, he meant to speak to Qin Xiaoyuan.


    What was the purpose?


    ?¦Ï¦Í¨À¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Figure it out for yourself!


    After some silence, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly came up with a very good idea.


    He looked at everyone and nodded:


    ¡°Mm, everyone has raised some very good points!¡±


    ¡°Let me share my thoughts.¡±


    ¡°Now, the hospital must develop in two directions: one is that the oncological surgery center needs to be established as soon as possible.


    The other is that the emergency building also needs to proceed.¡±


    ¡°The development of the emergency department affects the stability of our hospital.


    Hand surgery needs to be established, thoracic surgery as well, and general emergency surgery cannot be overlooked.¡±


    ¡°But, ah, these are not overnight accomplishments.


    Besides hardware being in place, we still need personnel in place.¡±


    ¡°As for Chen Cang¡¯s matter, I¡¯ve also thought it through.¡±


    ¡°Send him out for advanced studies!¡±


    As soon as these words came out!


    Everyone was shocked again?


    Send out for advanced studies?


    Wasn¡¯t this just plainly giving him away to others?


    Qin Xiaoyuan continued, ¡°He¡¯ll study for one year, starting after the New Year of 2020, and ending by the New Year of 2021.¡±


    ¡°During this year, our hospital has to complete the renovation of the old building, and the construction of the new building is also nearing completion.¡±


    ¡°When the time comes, one will be the Tumor Surgery Building, and the other will be the Emergency Building.¡±


    ¡°Within this year, we need to assemble a tumor surgery team, while also vigorously recruiting and training emergency surgery team members.¡±


    ¡°By the time Chen Cang returns, Chen Cang will be the director of the Emergency Department!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s decisive words suddenly stunned everyone!


    One year to build a comprehensive emergency team!


    One year to cultivate a top-tier director for the Emergency Department!


    One year to complete a Tumor Surgery Building!


    What Qin Xiaoyuan planned to do was even more formidable than they had imagined.


    It was more shocking to everyone than Secretary Tan Liguo¡¯s words; although it was postponed by a year, but¡­


    in a year¡¯s time, to be the big boss of the Emergency Department!


    Wasn¡¯t that too¡­


    too grand a move!


    They were willing to bet that even if hospitals were vying for Chen Cang, they wouldn¡¯t offer an entire Emergency Building for him to develop.


    At most, a department head!


    As they were puzzling over this, everyone suddenly became acutely aware of something!


    Next year¡­


    there would be an election!


    Most crucially, in a year, would Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s term as dean be renewed?


    Tan Liguo¡¯s term was also up!


    What exactly were they planning?


    Everyone felt their breathing quicken.


    The entire office fell into a silence, filled only with heavy breaths.


    This year, the Provincial Second Hospital must achieve results!


    And building these buildings would be an achievement!


    The completion of two buildings at once would be an accomplishment credited to everyone present.


    An Emergency Surgery Building!


    A Tumor Surgery Building!


    Everyone present¡­


    couldn¡¯t afford to refuse!


    Upon hearing Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s words, Tan Liguo¡¯s eyes shone even brighter.


    He couldn¡¯t help but inwardly exclaim: What ambition!


    At this moment, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly said, ¡°I agree!¡±


    Tan Liguo couldn¡¯t help but blurt out, ¡°I agree!¡±


    Gradually, the others began to raise their hands and say, ¡°I agree!¡±


    That¡¯s right!


    There were no fools among them.


    For the public and private benefit, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s idea was very good.


    Why should anyone reject it?


    Besides, a year later, with Chen Cang as the director of the Emergency Department, what¡­


    did that matter?


    After two minutes, the voting ended!


    Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°Well, by the end of the month, we¡¯ll include these two matters in the hospital¡¯s next five-year plan, and at the year-end conference, we¡¯ll discuss the details in depth.¡±


    ¡°Today¡¯s meeting will end here.


    Let¡¯s adjourn,¡± he concluded.


    Everyone stood up to leave.


    However, Tan Liguo took the initiative to stay.


    He looked at Qin Xiaoyuan thoughtfully and asked, ¡°Old Qin, will you still be at the Provincial Second Hospital the year after next?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback by the question!


    At the dean level, it was about rotating among various hospitals!


    After a moment of silence, Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°Old Tan, what do you have in mind?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Chen Cang¡¯s rise to power is about to begin, ask for monthly tickets please!


    There¡¯s more coming this afternoon, at least one chapter, maybe two¡­


    six chapters to go!

 Chapter 628 - Chapter 628 Chapter 628 I Want to Drink Jin Jun Mei

    ?Chapter 628: Chapter 628: I Want to Drink Jin Jun Mei Chapter 628: Chapter 628: I Want to Drink Jin Jun Mei ¡°`


    Just after five in the afternoon, Chen Cang received a call from Qin Xiaoyuan.


    Staring at the phone, Chen Cang hesitated for a long time.


    Should he pick it up?


    Would something bad happen if he did?


    After a long hesitation, Chen Cang still answered, deciding to carefully test the waters first, ¡°Hello?


    Dean, how are you¡­¡±


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s voice, Qin Xiaoyuan knew this kid must have heard the ringtone a while ago but just didn¡¯t answer.


    ¡°Hmm, come to my office, and make it quick.¡±


    With just that sentence, Qin Xiaoyuan hung up, very much displaying the air of a dean.


    It made Chen Cang¡¯s heart flutter.


    Qin Yue glanced over at Chen Cang and asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Chen Cang swallowed and spoke in a low voice, ¡°Our dad is calling for me!¡±


    Qin Yue was taken aback and almost laughed out loud, ¡°Go on, then?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?0


    When you go in, just ask, ¡®What¡¯s wrong, dad?¡¯ See what reaction you get.¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh wryly, ¡°Forget about it, I still want to live a few more days.¡±


    Having said that, Chen Cang sighed and got up to walk towards the administrative building.


    After knocking, he discovered that the door opened with his knock; clearly, Old Qin had already left the door for him.


    Now Chen Cang was quite familiar with the dean¡¯s office, having been there several times.


    The saying goes: the first time is awkward, the second time is familiar, and by the third time, the door is already left open for you.


    When Qin Xiaoyuan saw Chen Cang come in, he smiled, ¡°Sit down, I¡¯ll make you a cup of tea.


    Biluochun?


    Or Longjing?¡±


    Upon hearing that, Chen Cang held his breath and concentrated, starting to rack his brain.


    These two teas?


    Was there a deeper meaning?


    Biluochun!


    Longjing!


    Both green teas¡­


    could it be¡­


    there was an ulterior message?


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°Do you have any Jinjunmei?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was momentarily taken aback, ¡°Oh?


    You don¡¯t like green tea?


    Green tea cools you down, I see you¡¯re quite fired up.¡±


    Chen Cang gave another awkward smile, ¡°My stomach has been a bit cold lately, the doctor told me to drink something warming¡­¡±


    Yes!


    Chen Cang felt that the two exchanges he¡¯d just had were quite high-level!


    It seemed like a casual talk about tea, but in fact, they were truly engaged in a tough battle.


    Qin Xiaoyuan smiled and took out a box of Jinjunmei to brew for Chen Cang.


    The kid really treated this place like his own home.


    Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but smile, taking out the Jinjunmei and about to brew the tea.


    But suddenly he felt something was off and curiously asked, ¡°How did you know I have black tea here?¡±


    Chen Cang blurted out, ¡°Oh!


    Yueyue mentioned yesterday that you had brought Jinjunmei from home to the hospital.¡±


    After speaking, Chen Cang immediately regretted it!


    He wished he could slap his own mouth.


    The tea leaves that Qin Xiaoyuan had just brewed nearly ended up getting poured into the trash can!


    What on earth hadn¡¯t this sly cotton told Chen Cang?


    Sooner or later, the family¡¯s secrets would all end up disclosed by Qin Yue, this little traitor.


    ¡­


    ¡°`


    After sitting down, Qin Xiaoyuan felt that he should get straight to the point.


    Otherwise, if he obtained some news from Chen Cang again, he would surely be infuriated.


    ¡°You know, Xiao Chen, this afternoon, I organized a meeting because I wanted to have a good talk with you and hear your thoughts,¡± Qin Xiaoyuan said frankly.


    ¡°Actually, let me be straightforward with you, without beating around the bush.¡±


    ¡°To tell you the truth, the speed of your progress has far exceeded my expectations, and your influence is also growing.


    Let¡¯s not even talk about the surgical research and clinical base, you¡¯re going to represent Dongyang Province in the national competition for the cardiac surgery.


    If you win an award, there will be a myriad of hospitals coming after you.¡±


    ¡°The Second Provincial Hospital is no exception; they definitely want to cultivate you.¡±


    ¡°The core content of today¡¯s meeting is that next year the hospital plans to construct at least an eight-story emergency building, and they want you to be the director,¡± Qin Xiaoyuan explained.


    This seemingly casual remark stunned Chen Cang.


    This was no longer about managing a department.


    This was about managing an entire building!


    Plainly speaking, it meant being the director of several departments!


    The gravity of this responsibility was no ordinary matter!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°This¡­


    Dean Qin, isn¡¯t this a bit too¡­


    Will I be able to handle it?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrow: ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t you be able to handle it?


    Isn¡¯t Guo Yunfei the director of the emergency department of the Cardiovascular Hospital?


    Are you any lesser than him?¡±


    Chen Cang frowned: ¡°It¡¯s not about whether I am capable or not, but¡­


    Is it really going to be easy to pass the board?


    After all¡­


    it¡¯s a significant role!


    Even a single staffing can cause disputes, let alone the director of a building.


    Shouldn¡¯t it at least be a vice-president in charge?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan chuckled: ¡°Look at it this way, would you stay if the Second Provincial Hospital didn¡¯t offer such conditions?¡±


    ¡°Initially, you were just another doctor, someone insignificant, anyone felt they could push you around, but can you be treated the same way as back then now?¡±


    ¡°In plain terms, it¡¯s not just about the staffing or how difficult it is to secure a director position.


    In the end, it¡¯s all about your worth.


    The more valuable you are, the bigger the platform you¡¯ll get.


    You understand what I mean, right?¡±


    These words from Qin Xiaoyuan left Chen Cang speechless.


    Indeed, like when Professor Tang, Wang Yushan, and others discussed collaboration with the Second Provincial Hospital, they specifically demanded that if Chen Cang was not the director, they would not cooperate.


    This was clearly an acknowledgment of Chen Cang¡¯s worth.


    In this society, your identity and status will always be in proportion to your value.


    And your value can either come from within yourself or from the support behind you (emphasis)!


    Qin Xiaoyuan sighed: ¡°In truth, the Second Provincial Hospital is only so big.


    It¡¯s not as high as Xiehe, Anzhen, Fuwai¡­


    These places are much better.¡±


    ¡°At first, I thought after you married Yueyue, you might slowly become a director or something.


    ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    It wouldn¡¯t be a big deal to make you a dean in the future, but now I think, the Second Provincial Hospital cannot contain you.¡±


    ¡°Even if you¡¯re not willing to leave, I have to push you forward.¡±


    ¡°Yueyue is going to pursue her PhD next year, and you should also take a year to go out and further your study.¡±


    ¡°When you come back from your advanced studies, the emergency building will be completed, and then you can take over as the director of emergency services.¡±


    Hearing Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s words, Chen Cang felt genuinely warmed at heart a€¡± after all, having someone think so deeply for you, guide and pave the way for you, besides your own parents, who else could it be?


    ¡°I¡¯ve actually considered letting you go directly to a large hospital, but¡­


    with your current abilities, you would be insignificant in those major hospitals and wouldn¡¯t get much of an opportunity to train.


    Instead of that, it¡¯s better to come back.¡±


    ¡°The platform of the Second Provincial Hospital is not that small; it¡¯s sufficient for you to grow.¡±


    ¡°After the emergency building is completed, that will be your second platform.


    Once you turn the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital into a top-notch provincial facility, the world is your oyster.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan had indeed designed a safe and stable path for Chen Cang.


    If Chen Cang is a dragon, then being the emergency department director is the starting point of his ascent.


    If Chen Cang is a snake, then the role of emergency department director is the turning point that will help him smoothly transition to becoming the dean of the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Chen Cang took a sip of hot tea, feeling warm inside.


    He wasn¡¯t sure if it was the warmth of the tea or the words.


    ¡­


    ps: For now, just one update.


    The second chapter isn¡¯t finished because my mom called me to eat dinner, so¡­


    haha, I¡¯ll write tonight.


    Oh!


    By the way, votes for the monthly ticket are appreciated¡­


    Also, a friendly book recommendation: ¡°The Era of Great Heroes.¡± If you¡¯re interested, go check it out.

 Chapter 629 - Chapter 629 Chapter 629 President Qin, I heard you have Moutai at home

    ?Chapter 629: Chapter 629: President Qin, I heard you have Moutai at home?


    Chapter 629: Chapter 629: President Qin, I heard you have Moutai at home?


    Even Chen Cang, who might be slow, now understood the profound meaning behind Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s words.


    This golden pathway laid out before him truly marked Qin as a benefactor for Chen Cang.


    Moved, Chen Cang held the teacup, feeling its warmth, and looking up, he said, ¡°Thank you, Director Qin.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan smiled, ¡°There are no strangers here, no need to be so formal.¡±


    ¡°But honestly, Chen, speaking frankly, if there¡¯s anything I can help with at the Provincial Second Hospital, or even in Dongyang, I¡¯ll lend a hand; once you¡¯re out there, in the end, you¡¯ll have to rely on yourself.¡±


    ¡°And don¡¯t look down on the Provincial Second Hospital.


    Truth be told, at any hospital you go to, I can guarantee, you won¡¯t have as much autonomy as you do here.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m here, so you just focus on your work.


    Use whatever abilities you have to the fullest.¡±


    ¡°So, such a platform is precious!


    Make good use of it.


    Of course, if there¡¯s a better platform, that¡¯s fine too, but if not, you must make the most of it.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Hmm, thank you, Director Qin, I understand.


    I¡¯ll work hard.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan took a sip of tea and continued with a smile, ¡°Well, about the advanced studies, you don¡¯t have any objections, do you?


    I made the decision for you without asking.¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°Of course not, going out for advanced studies is fortunate!


    If I had any objections, I¡¯d really be ungrateful.¡±


    Refusing the path laid out by his father-in-law would be a fool¡¯s move!


    Their conversation became more casual, not so much like a director and a doctor, but more like a father-in-law and son-in-law.


    Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly asked with interest, ¡°Chen, there¡¯s one thing I really don¡¯t understand.


    ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Which direction do you actually want to develop in?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re doing so well in hand surgery, and your work in cardiac surgery is impressive too; you¡¯re even going to compete in a national competition, maybe even win a prize to bring back!


    Qian Liang and the others say your skills in hepato-biliary surgery are also quite exceptional¡­


    I really can¡¯t figure out what your future direction will be?¡±


    ¡°Given that you chose cardiac surgery for your master¡¯s degree, do you truly want to develop in this area?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan really was at somewhat of a loss regarding Chen Cang.


    Other doctors focused on a single specialty or even a single operation or disease, and even then, they struggled.


    Yet Chen Cang was doing the opposite, knowing a little about everything!


    Chen Cang smiled and said to Qin Xiaoyuan, ¡°Actuallya€| what I¡¯m learning is exactly the path you¡¯ve laid out for me, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback: ¡°Ah?


    What do you mean?¡±


    Taking a deep breath, Chen Cang explained, ¡°Director Qin, you mentioned building a new emergency department building.


    Such a tall building couldn¡¯t possibly have just one department, right?


    Emergency cardiac surgery, emergency thoracic surgery, emergency hand surgery, emergency hepato-biliary surgery, emergency¡­


    all of these are necessary, no?¡±


    ¡°If I were to become a director, I¡¯d have to be the pillar for everyone, right?


    That means I need to try to master the emergency systems of any department!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan chuckled, ¡°You young man, don¡¯t bite off more than you can chew, you have to eat one bite at a time.


    Eating too much could choke you, or even kill you¡­¡±


    Chen Cang burst into laughter.


    But he continued, ¡°Actually, the emergency department is the first place for the rescue of critically ill patients.


    It seems like there are too many diseases, even each department has many that could endanger lives.¡±


    ¡°But upon careful consideration, not all diseases in every department are life-threatening!¡±


    ¡°What I¡¯ve always wanted to do is to sort out those critical diseases from the specialities, and tackle them one by one!¡±


    ¡°I feel I have the ability and the talent for this, which shouldn¡¯t go to waste.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, these diseases and surgeries may seem as numerous as hairs on an ox, too many to count, but upon closer inspection, they are interconnected.¡±


    ¡°Like with trauma, whether it¡¯s chest trauma, abdominal trauma, major cardiac blood vessels¡­


    and so on, as long as I find their connection and categorize them¡­


    I can actually simplify the complex.¡±


    ¡°In due time, I could completely advance emergency medicine, and maybe when I get older, I could even write a book on emergency surgery and internal medicine.¡±


    ¡°Now in our country, doctors are all specialists, and there is already a shortage of professionals in emergency medicine.


    Moreover, most are focused on emergency internal medicine.


    I feel that if our generation does well, one day we¡¯ll be able to perfect the guidelines for emergency surgical operations.


    At that time, we¡¯ll be able to train emergency surgeons on a large scale.¡±


    ¡°And this team will be the special forces of our medical industry!


    The sharp edge!¡±


    ¡°When there is difficulty, and support comes from all sides, it will be our group of special forces, like a sharp edge, saving the people from danger.¡±


    By the end of his speech, Chen Cang even felt that passion and hot blood boiling in his heart!


    Is it difficult?


    Definitely difficult!


    Very few people even attempt it.


    But some things must be done by someone!


    No matter how difficult!


    No matter how exhausting!


    It always requires generations of people to improve it, step by step.


    Chen Cang knew that he might not accomplish it alone, but he knew that his path was not solitary!


    Some predecessors had already started the work.


    But due to their own limitations, they just hadn¡¯t completed it.


    Chen Cang had the system, which was his greatest advantage.


    But if he were to waste the system, that would truly be a pity.


    He must do something for the people, for society.


    After finishing, the two fell silent.


    This was the first time Chen Cang had spoken about ideals and the future with someone, even sharing his plans for the future.


    After listening, Qin Xiaoyuan was also filled with myriad emotions.


    Actually, they were part of the first group of tumor researchers in the country.


    When you think about it carefully, isn¡¯t tumor research the same?


    Tumors involve every organ, tissue, and organ in the human body!


    The research is already interdisciplinary, yet still, their group dedicated themselves to join and investigate!


    If one person can¡¯t finish it, then ten people will tackle it together.


    If ten people are not enough, then one hundred, one thousand, one generation, two generations¡­


    The development of tumor medicine in our country indeed still lags behind foreign countries, but compared to the past, we have progressed so much.


    Effort always requires a direction, as well as a process.


    In that moment, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly understood Chen Cang deeply!


    Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan lifted his teacup, once again looked Chen Cang over earnestly, smiled, and said, ¡°Here¡¯s to you, may you realize your wishes.


    Let¡¯s drink tea in place of liquor, cheers!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Cheers!¡±


    The two exchanged smiles.


    But just ten seconds later, Chen Cang said, ¡°Director Qin, actually, there¡¯s no need to replace liquor with tea.


    I heard from Yueyue that there is a special supply of Moutai at home, supposedly over 40 years old?¡±


    Old Qin¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Get lost!¡±

 Chapter 631 - Chapter 631 Chapter 631 Things start to get strange

    ?Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Things start to get strange Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Things start to get strange ¡°`


    Upon entering the emergency room, Chen Cang directly transferred the woman to another bed.


    The woman was not heavy, giving off the impression of a gentle and delicate girl.


    Chen Cang continued asking, ¡°Besides muscle weakness and numb hands, do you have any other discomfort?¡±


    The woman shook her head, ¡°I feel a bit panicky, often panicky, but¡­


    I don¡¯t think it¡¯s related, because I used to stay up late.¡±


    Chen Cang hesitated, then said to Xiaolin, ¡°Do an ECG, test her blood sugar.¡±


    Xiaolin quickly got up and pushed the ECG machine over.


    The blood sugar results came out quickly: 7.9!


    Although the patient had stated she had eaten, it couldn¡¯t be low blood sugar.


    And even though Chen Cang also felt this possibility was quite low, he still decided to check, just to be safe.


    During this time, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t idle; he repeated the questions he¡¯d asked outside, inquiring of the woman once more.


    ?¦Ï??0.§ã0


    Only, this time, the answers were indeed different.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    ¡°I¡­


    used to drink frequently.¡±


    Chen Cang was surprised, ¡°Oh?


    Besides drinking alcohol, do you have any other habits?¡±


    At this moment, Lele began to perform the ECG on the girl, with Chen Cang present, and she didn¡¯t seem to mind at all, rather, she seemed quite at ease.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t avoid the situation either, because this kind of thing really wasn¡¯t a big deal.


    While there had been reports of male doctors being accused of inappropriate conduct during female patients¡¯ ECGs in emergency situations, these were the exception rather than the rule.


    Most people who come to the hospital don¡¯t mind these things.


    After all, it¡¯s said that sickness knows no shame!


    Before long, the ECG results were out: ST segment depression, arrhythmia, accompanied by an increased heart rate of 84 beats per minute, and shortening of the PR interval¡­


    Chen Cang looked at the results and frowned slightly; the ECG seemed to show no serious issues but¡­


    Chen Cang, as if in thought, inquired, ¡°Is your menstruation regular?¡±


    The daughter¡¯s face noticeably changed, ¡°Is it relevant?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded seriously, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s relevant.¡±


    The girl suddenly said, ¡°It¡¯s been over a month¡­


    I can¡¯t remember exactly when, but¡­


    my periods have always been irregular.¡±


    Chen Cang continued to ask, ¡°Do you have sexual activity?¡±


    The girl was taken aback for a moment, ¡°Of course.¡±


    Chen Cang replied, ¡°I actually suggest that you get an ultrasound now to check if you¡¯re pregnant.¡±


    The girl frowned, ¡°There¡¯s no need, what I want to know is whether my muscle weakness is related to anything.¡±


    In fact, several possibilities had already crossed Chen Cang¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Have you had any history of infectious diseases like hepatitis or tuberculosis?¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Have you taken any medication or consumed any special substances?¡±


    The girl still shook her head.


    Seeing this, Chen Cang became somewhat troubled.


    The patient had already started to resist; under these circumstances, reaching a clear diagnosis was somewhat difficult.


    However, Chen Cang nodded and said, ¡°Well, since your main issue is limb weakness, I suggest you do an electromyography and a motor nerve conduction study to see the situation, followed by a blood draw for a complete blood count¡­¡±


    ¡°`


    The woman did not refuse this time.


    Chen Cang then started arranging for Xiao Lin to contact for a check-up.


    The night shift only had one doctor on duty, but it was clear that no one was sleeping at the moment.


    After Chen Cang made the phone call, he personally wheeled the patient to be examined.


    Meanwhile, in the emergency department lobby.


    Both families were worried about the patient¡¯s condition.


    ¡°Ah, my Jiajia is just too honest, never one to cause a fuss since she was young.


    I think she¡¯s just tired from the recent stress,¡± the woman sighed, ¡°After all, her dad and I are both in good health.


    We even had normal check-ups last year!¡±


    The young man named Tian Zhen nodded and hummed in agreement, ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal, might just be a bit of low blood sugar or something.¡±


    He and Jiajia had known each other for just over a month, having been introduced by relatives, in what¡¯s known as matchmaking.


    It¡¯s normal for men to marry and women to wed at their age, and at this stage of life, it¡¯s almost inevitable.


    Plus, Jiajia has a playful personality and is very likable, having returned from studying in the United States.


    They were introduced by family friends, so everyone felt it was quite reliable.


    They got along harmoniously.


    Over the month, their feelings for each other grew warmer, with Tian Zhen being three years older than the girl.


    After spending time together, both sets of parents decided to meet.


    Thus, they had the dinner today.


    But then, the girl¡¯s mother suddenly said, ¡°The girl is not getting any younger and wants to get married sooner to settle down.


    Her grandmother is getting on in years and wants to see her wish fulfilled.¡±


    The boy¡¯s parents actually wanted them to spend more time together, but seeing that their child was quite fond of the girl, they smiled and said, ¡°We should consider the children¡¯s opinions too.¡±


    Tian Zhen felt that he was not getting any younger either and ought to settle down, so he didn¡¯t object.


    Although it had only been a little over a month since they¡¯d met and confirmed their relationship, Tian Zhen was very fond of Jiajia, who was not only beautiful but also had the experience of studying abroad.


    The boy¡¯s mother was more traditional and couldn¡¯t accept such a rushed marriage, sharing her concerns, ¡°How about you date a little longer?


    After all, the two of you have different educational and life experiences.


    It could be problematic if you rush into marriage and then have conflicts.¡±


    But the girl¡¯s mother suddenly laughed, ¡°Ah haha, kids these days are impulsive, filled with fervor.


    When they find the right one, they just get married.


    But you¡¯re also right, let¡¯s see how it goes by dating first.


    Nevertheless, Tian Zhen, come over to our place sometime to meet her grandmother.¡±


    ¡°Besides, when we were young, we too were introduced by others and got married not long after.


    Look at us, half a lifetime later and we¡¯re doing quite well!¡±


    In fact, in everyone¡¯s hearts, introductions through relatives and friends still seemed more dependable.


    After all, this meant they were well-acquainted, with less chance of deception.


    Now with the girl falling ill so suddenly, no one had expected such a turn of events.


    Tian Zhen¡¯s father stood up with a chuckle, ¡°I¡¯m craving a cigarette, I¡¯m going out to smoke one.¡±


    After saying this and giving Tian Zhen a meaningful look, he got up and went out first.


    Tian Zhen smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll go have a smoke too.¡±


    Once outside, Tian Zhen¡¯s father suddenly asked, ¡°How much do you really know about this girl?¡±


    Tian Zhen was taken aback, then chuckled, ¡°Dad, this was introduced by my aunt, right?


    She said it was reliable, so I didn¡¯t think too much, but this past month has been pretty good, I guess.¡±


    The middle-aged man nodded, ¡°I always feel you guys shouldn¡¯t rush into marriage.


    By the way¡­


    have you two done ¡®that¡¯?


    Is she pregnant?¡±


    Tian Zhen gave an embarrassed laugh and said, ¡°Jiajia is quite traditional.


    She said we could only do that after both parents consented.


    She doesn¡¯t seem like a messy person, you know?


    Dad, you might be overthinking it¡­¡±


    The middle-aged man laughed, ¡°Hmm, just be a bit more cautious.


    How about this, I think you should delay the marriage a bit, at least date for three months, half a year or something, and then see.¡±


    Tian Zhen frowned slightly but also felt his father made sense and nodded, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll talk it over with Jiajia.¡±


    The man hummed in response, ¡°You¡¯ve got to have your own opinion, don¡¯t just assume your aunt¡¯s introduction is foolproof.¡±

 Chapter 632 - Chapter 632 Chapter 632 What Do You Take Someone For

    ?Chapter 632: Chapter 632: What Do You Take Someone For?


    Chapter 632: Chapter 632: What Do You Take Someone For?


    Chen Cang looked at the test results, and was momentarily stunned.


    The nerve conduction study concluded: mild neuropathy (motor and sensory involvement) in both lower limbs, myelin sheath damage accompanied with axonal injury.


    As for the electromyography results: abnormal motor and sensory conduction in the left common peroneal nerve;


    Extended latencies in the F waves of both lower limbs.


    Chen Cang looked at the films, and was momentarily stunned.


    The examining doctor looked at Chen Cang: ¡°What kind of patient is this?¡±


    Chen Cang pondered for a moment, ¡°I feel like it¡¯s someone who eats balloons!¡±


    The examining doctor, upon hearing this, was instantly baffled, ¡°Really?


    She looks so gentle and well-behaved, doesn¡¯t she?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Are you not aware of the news online?


    It¡¯s easy to know someone¡¯s face but not their heart, and furthermore!¡±


    ¡°I feel it¡¯s not just as simple as eating balloons.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??0.§ã¦Ï


    And the girl asked Chen Cang, staring, ¡°Doctor?


    What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly stared at her and asked, ¡°Have you ever inhaled laughing gas?¡±


    The girl was immediately stunned, her eyes widened, and she was speechless.


    Chen Cang looked at the girl, ¡°This is the main reason for diagnosing your disease, I think you should take it seriously.¡±


    The girl fell silent.


    At this moment, the corridor was empty.


    Several minutes passed.


    Only then did the girl say, ¡°I haven¡¯t touched it for a month.¡±


    Chen Cang continued, ¡°Is it because you¡¯re pregnant?¡±


    After Chen Cang spoke, the woman trembled all over!


    She almost jumped off the bed!


    ¡°You¡­


    you¡¯re talking nonsense!¡±


    The girl¡¯s voice shrieked sharply.


    Luckily, there were no people in the outpatient building at night, so it didn¡¯t attract too much attention.


    But the examination department doctor walked out without any fuss.


    The girl shouted at him, ¡°Get back in there!¡±


    The examining doctor was momentarily stunned, thinking, what did I do to deserve this?


    However, he still turned around and went back in.


    Helpless!


    The girl¡¯s state made Chen Cang feel that he had guessed right about seventy to eighty percent.


    Yet Chen Cang was not motivated by gossip, but because the upcoming treatment and medication needed to consider whether the patient was pregnant!


    Chen Cang said, ¡°I¡¯m not just curious or nosy, I am considering what medication to use, what treatment possibilities exist!¡±


    The girl¡¯s body trembled slightly.


    Chen Cang, feeling helpless, ¡°I will communicate with your parents.¡±


    The girl hurriedly said, ¡°Please, don¡¯t tell them!¡±


    The girl¡¯s voice began to choke, tremble, and was even filled with fear and regret!


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°How long have you been inhaling laughing gas?


    How much do you use each day?¡±


    The girl, with a vacant gaze, ¡°It¡¯s been¡­


    over a year now!¡±


    ¡°A year ago, I was studying abroad in the United States.


    At one party, we all went to a classmate¡¯s house.


    At the time, many people were inhaling balloons, and I was very curious, but¡­


    they all laughed at me, they even said it¡¯s a common food and drug additive, not a narcotic!¡±


    ¡°Out of curiosity, I tried one, and it seemed no big deal¡­


    Later on, I often went to gatherings, thinking it wasn¡¯t something serious, but then I got kind of addicted.¡±


    ¡°Since then, I¡¯ve been buying canned ones myself, about more than a thousand balloons daily¡­


    Two months ago, when I came back to China, I started having numbness in my hands, I didn¡¯t pay it any attention, but recently, my legs have begun to feel weak too¡­¡±


    ¡°Doctor¡­


    save me, I don¡¯t want my parents to know¡­¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang thought it was still necessary to communicate with the parents.


    There are some things Chen Cang should keep confidential, but now it was impacting the patient¡¯s treatment.


    The patient¡¯s diagnosis was already clear, it was nitrous oxide poisoning.


    Chen Cang had suspected as much from the beginning.


    However, for treatment, just using vitamin B12, cobamamide, vitamin B1, and such does have an effect, but it is still essential to combine it with meclofenoxate.


    And meclofenoxate can pass through the placenta; it is used cautiously in pregnant women.


    If the girl is pregnant, Chen Cang still should be clear about it.


    Perhaps even the girl¡¯s own parents don¡¯t know that she has been inhaling nitrous oxide, let alone that she is now pregnant, right?


    So, here comes the problem!


    Does the boy know about this?


    This is an issue!


    If the boy knows, his opinion would also be very important.


    If the boy himself doesn¡¯t know, he¡­


    seems to need to consider things more carefully.


    Chen Cang pushed the girl into the emergency room.


    The girl cried with snot and tears streaming down her face.


    At this time, the girl¡¯s parents were directly shocked silly.


    ¡°Jiajia, what¡¯s wrong?


    What happened?¡± The woman hurriedly came up to hug her daughter, her heart aching.


    The boy also came up: ¡°Jiajia, are you okay?¡±


    The girl¡¯s father then looked at Chen Cang and asked, ¡°Doctor, what¡¯s wrong with my daughter?¡±


    Chen Cang glanced at the crowd and said to the middle-aged man, ¡°You come with me.¡±


    Chen Cang felt that he should tell the parents.


    The man was stunned for a moment and followed him inside.


    Chen Cang said, ¡°The patient has been inhaling nitrous oxide for a long time, leading to nitrous oxide poisoning, which requires systematic treatment.¡±


    ¡°However, the girl has missed her period for over a month, and we can¡¯t rule out the possibility of pregnancy.


    If she is pregnant, some drugs are contraindicated.¡±


    ¡°So, first we should do an ultrasound to see if she¡¯s pregnant, and then formulate a treatment plan!¡±


    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, the middle-aged man immediately turned to look at his daughter, his eyes filled with complex emotions.


    Anger!


    Helplessness!


    Heartache!


    Disappointment!


    Shame!


    A tangle of emotions, if the girl was indeed pregnant, whether the child belonged to Tian Zhen or not, if so, it would be okay, but¡­


    it was obvious!


    Thinking of this, the man looked at Chen Cang helplessly and said, ¡°Let¡¯s first do a B-ultrasound to confirm.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, called the ultrasound room, and conducted a bedside ultrasound.


    Well, the result was unquestionable, she was two months pregnant!


    The middle-aged man looked at the result, lost, not knowing whether to be happy or angry!


    ¡°Whose child is this?


    Is it Tian Zhen¡¯s?¡± the man sat on the bedside, ignoring the crying girl, and asked directly.


    The girl remained silent.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    ¡°I¡¯m asking you whose it is!¡± the man roared loudly!


    The girl trembled in fear.


    After a moment, she slowly said, ¡°It¡¯s not Tian Zhen¡¯s!¡±


    The man scoffed, ¡°Hahaha, how did I ever produce something like you!¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s not Tian Zhen¡¯s, what do you take Tian Zhen for?


    Someone¡¯s fallback guy?¡±


    ¡°Scoundrel!¡±


    After saying this, the man angrily got up and walked out!


    At the door, he composed himself and went out, went up to Tian Zhen¡¯s family and said, ¡°Manager Tian, I am truly sorry, my daughter has some health issues.


    I think it¡¯s best if we cancel the arrangement between our families, I cannot hold you back!¡±


    Upon this remark, the people around were all stunned.


    The girl¡¯s mother quickly said, ¡°Nonsense!


    I know my daughter better than anyone.


    You¡­¡±


    The man¡¯s face turned steely, ¡°Shut your mouth!¡±


    Seeing the man¡¯s anger, the girl¡¯s mother was also startled.


    Tian Zhen was dumbfounded as well: ¡°Uncle, it¡¯s okay, if there is an illness, we can face it together¡­¡±


    The man cut him off directly, saying, ¡°Tian Zhen, I think highly of you, but let¡¯s just forget about this matter.


    I will not agree to it!¡±


    After saying that, he looked apologetically at Tian Zhen¡¯s family, turned, and re-entered the emergency room.


    This matter, someone had to play the villain.


    He thought, he had to be that person!


    ps: Sorry, there was a glitch just now.

 Chapter 633 - Chapter 633 Chapter 633 One Patient Becomes Two

    ?Chapter 633: Chapter 633: One Patient Becomes Two Chapter 633: Chapter 633: One Patient Becomes Two The man was well aware that speaking these words was asking for trouble!


    It could mean they would no longer get along with the old Tian family.


    But¡­


    he couldn¡¯t just sell his daughter off!


    No matter how disgraceful she might become, no matter how bad, no matter what, she was still his daughter.


    Really, if it came out that his daughter was pregnant and was also using some sort of messed-up substances, how could she ever get married in the future?


    So, the man had to take care of this matter himself.


    But, he also couldn¡¯t allow the Tian family to be wronged, right?


    What did he think they were, a recycling center?


    Expect them to take over someone else¡¯s child?


    Is that what decent people do?


    Hearing the man¡¯s words, Tian Zhen was momentarily stunned, ¡°This¡­


    Uncle, I¡­¡±


    The man waved his hand, ¡°Old Tian, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve been thinking about this for a long time.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Jiajia might not be in the right state to get married now.


    Let¡¯s talk about this issue later.¡±


    ¡°You all should go back early; it¡¯s getting late.


    Jiajia¡¯s mother and I are here, so don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Tian Zhen¡¯s father was no fool.


    Although he was baffled, he vaguely sensed something was off but didn¡¯t say anything.


    He just nodded, ¡°Mhm, call if you need anything.¡±


    After saying that, the family got up and left.


    As the Tian family left, the man took a deep breath.


    That was that for this matter¡­


    And the woman understood that things were not as simple as she had thought.


    Old Yang must be hiding something from her!


    Thinking this, she stared at the man and asked sternly, ¡°Old Yang, don¡¯t scare me, what exactly happened?¡±


    The man shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you when we get back.


    You sit there and rest for a while; I¡¯m going to check on the girl.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the woman couldn¡¯t sit still and said directly, ¡°I¡¯m coming with you!¡±


    And she followed him without waiting for an answer.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t stop the two of them.


    Now the situation was quite complicated, and it was no longer just a matter of treatment!


    It had escalated to the matter of keeping or terminating the pregnancy.


    Even more so, Chen Cang, looking at the clothes and style of the man and woman, felt that probably once they knew the girl was alright, they would transfer her to another hospital.


    Indeed, the man looked at Chen Cang and asked, ¡°Doctor Chen¡­


    is this ¡°laughing gas¡± thing serious?¡±


    ¡°What I¡¯m thinking is, could we terminate the pregnancy first and then proceed with treatment?¡±


    Hearing these words, the woman was suddenly at a loss, ¡°What laughing gas?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean terminate the pregnancy?¡±


    She felt as though her entire worldview was shattering.


    The girl was pregnant?


    And¡­


    she had been inhaling laughing gas?


    At that thought, the woman felt her breathing becoming rapid.


    They were well off in their family, otherwise¡­


    they wouldn¡¯t have sent the girl abroad.


    She had heard from some friends about the phenomenon of ¡°balloon huffing¡± abroad.


    But¡­


    What did that have to do with her own daughter?


    Most importantly, in her heart, her daughter had always been the good girl.


    She rarely even talked back!


    How could she do such a thing?


    Pregnant!


    Inhaling laughing gas!


    Isn¡¯t this something those typically depraved and ignorant American girls do?


    But Jiajia is from a prestigious U.S.


    university.


    Thinking of this, the woman felt a tightness in her heart, suddenly found it hard to accept, and as she thought more about it, the more it hurt, the more angry she became, until she accidentally fell to the ground.


    Chen Cang was stunned too!


    One patient had turned into two¡­


    The girl sat on the hospital bed, her face and expression indifferent, lost in thought, but when she suddenly saw her mother fall to the ground, she was so scared that she hurriedly tried to get up and go to her.


    But her limbs were so weak that she fell to the ground as well, sobbing with a choked voice, ¡°Mom, I was wrong¡­¡±


    Suddenly, the entire emergency room plunged into chaos.


    Chen Cang, helpless, quickly called Lele to start another round of resuscitation.


    After the woman took nitroglycerine under her tongue, the pain in her chest eased.


    An ECG was done, no myocardial infarction, just some myocardial ischemia, merely caused by emotional excitement leading to cardiovascular spasm and angina.


    After breathing oxygen for over ten minutes, the wrinkles between the woman¡¯s eyebrows finally relaxed.


    And the daughter was lifted back onto the bed.


    After much turmoil, the family finally settled down.


    ?0¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    At this moment, the person most distraught wasn¡¯t Chen Cang and the others, but that middle-aged man.


    Originally, when his child went abroad for studies, especially to a prestigious school, the family was overjoyed.


    But now¡­


    Seeing her like this, the man even felt a bit of regret.


    At this moment, the middle-aged woman took the oxygen off from under her nose and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine!¡±


    After saying that, she got out of bed, put on her shoes, and looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor¡­


    Is my daughter in serious condition?


    I heard that inhaling too much of that stuff can cause disability, is that true?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, not denying it.


    However, the girl¡¯s condition wasn¡¯t so certain at present.


    At this, tears streamed down the woman¡¯s face, ¡°My girl¡­


    why would you touch this stuff?


    Don¡¯t you know it¡¯s a poison?¡±


    The girl kept shaking her head, also sobbing, ¡°I didn¡¯t know at first, but everyone said it was non-toxic, and that¡­


    it didn¡¯t damage important organs like the lungs, liver, and kidneys, and wasn¡¯t addictive¡­


    So I tried it, I thought it was okay.¡±


    ¡°After all¡­


    we often see this in the lab, I never took it seriously, I didn¡¯t think about it at all, and they all use it, even saying it¡¯s less harmful than smoking or drinking, so I tried it¡­¡±


    The man, after hearing this, also looked anxiously at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor, what exactly is that laughing gas?


    I¡¯ve heard of it, but I don¡¯t understand it very well¡­¡±


    Actually, what the girl said wasn¡¯t wrong, but it was somewhat one-sided.


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°Actually, what she said is true, laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide, was originally an anaesthetic used for respiratory anaesthesia, and it¡¯s non-irritating, without side effects on important organs like the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!¡±


    ¡°Even!


    It doesn¡¯t undergo any biotransformation or degradation in the body, and most of it is expelled from the body through exhalation, with only a small amount evaporating through the skin, without any accumulation.¡±


    ¡°In addition, inhaling it for only 30s-40s can produce analgesic effects, which are strong while its anaesthetic effects are weak.


    The patient remains conscious, avoiding complications from general anaesthesia, and recovers quickly after surgery.¡±


    Sighing, Chen Cang continued, ¡°A small amount is harmless, but those who created it never imagined that people would treat it as a toy, let alone that some would inhale so much and turn it into a recreational pastime!¡±


    ¡°What she has now is a typical case of nitrous oxide poisoning, mainly characterized by a long-term lack of vitamin B12, which leads to demyelinating changes, affecting motor nerves, and indeed can lead to disability over time.¡±


    ¡°But looking at her current nerve conduction studies and electromyography, her condition isn¡¯t too severe, and I believe she will respond well to treatment!¡±

 Chapter 634 - Chapter 634 Chapter 634 Brother Meng (Sixth Release, Requesting Monthly Votes)

    ?Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Brother Meng (Sixth Release, Requesting Monthly Votes) Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Brother Meng (Sixth Release, Requesting Monthly Votes) After hearing this, the man heaved a sigh of relief and moved on to a question he was more concerned about:


    ¡°Doctor!


    Does Jiajia count as committing a crime?


    Like¡­


    is inhaling that laughing gas considered a drug?¡±


    The question wasn¡¯t just of concern to the man, but the woman was also extremely cautious.


    Because if it were considered as such, it wouldn¡¯t just be an internal family problem anymore.


    At this moment, the woman¡¯s face changed, and she quickly explained, ¡°Mom, Dad, I really haven¡¯t touched it since I came back to the country!


    I really haven¡¯t¡­


    I¡¯m already trying to change.¡±


    Chen Cang, seeing this, said, ¡°Actually, domestic control over this substance is quite strict.


    Even if it is not classified as a drug, the judicial authorities still strictly monitor it.¡±


    ¡°However¡­


    in some big cities in the US, like Seattle, Los Angeles, laughing gas is as easily obtainable as food and is not a controlled substance.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Plus, it¡¯s available without a prescription, for free purchase.


    Many international students slowly become addicted.¡±


    The man, upon hearing this, also breathed a sigh of relief.


    But then¡­


    the man and his wife looked at each other, and once things were clear, they also expressed their true intentions.


    ¡°Doctor, we don¡¯t have any issues going back home tonight, do we?


    It won¡¯t aggravate the condition, will it?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah, no problem.


    ??¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    This kind of injury is chronic.¡±


    After hearing this, the man called the driver, went through the procedures, and left.


    However, after taking his wife and child away, the man hurriedly rushed back, pulled Chen Cang aside into a corner, and said, ¡°Doctor, I¡¯m giving this to you, and I hope you can keep it a secret for me.¡±


    The man brought out something wrapped in a newspaper.


    Chen Cang immediately shook his head to refuse; naturally, he couldn¡¯t accept such a thing!


    ¡°We medical personnel have an obligation to maintain patient confidentiality, don¡¯t worry!


    Of course, if the police ask us for patient information, I will tell the truth.¡±


    The man had no choice but to leave, repeatedly asking for discretion before he left!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After his family had left.


    Lele and Xiaolin gathered around, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, what is this balloon thing?


    Laughing gas¡­


    Is it sold a lot?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°It¡¯s actually just laughing gas put into small balloons.¡±


    The two shivered and shook their heads, ¡°What an idea!¡±


    ¡°They know how to have fun!¡±


    Chen Cang laughed, ¡°It¡¯s not just about having ideas; it also takes having money.¡±


    ¡°That girl just now, a thousand balloons a day¡­


    must cost hundreds of thousands a month, right?¡±


    ¡°A single cylinder of gas costs at least a thousand or two, which isn¡¯t something ordinary people can afford.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lele¡¯s face changed immediately, ¡°Is that laughing gas in our operating room?¡±


    ¡°Alright, enough.


    Go get busy.


    Don¡¯t inquire about these things!¡±


    Curious as they were, neither intended to actually snoop around.


    Actually, many of these addictive substances started as medications, but eventually, they got abused by people.


    Many people are really just asking for trouble¡­


    It¡¯s like with wild animals; our ancestors spent thousands of years to domesticate a few edible ones for us.


    You just had to ignore their teachings to eat all kinds of strange things, even willing to eat bats!


    Do you really think you¡¯re a savage?


    Chen Cang shook his head and returned to his office.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meng Xi was now quite stimulated.


    She lay on the couch watching those outright videos, feeling awesome!


    And her heart was racing!


    All these were surgeries performed by Chen Cang.


    Ever since Chen Cang pointed out her shortcomings, she had been studying every day to find her own deficiencies.


    The surgeries she did with him were repeatedly sought after by her, watched over and over again.


    And it turned out, at first look, nothing seemed wrong, but as she continued to watch, she really found quite a few things to learn from.


    ¡°Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will appear,¡± but actually, watching videos is like that too.


    It was precisely because of this that Meng Xi felt the gap between herself and Chen Cang.


    But far from panicking, she actually couldn¡¯t be happier.


    After all, the stronger Chen Cang was, the greater his chances of winning!


    As for herself?


    Well¡­


    She was probably just a slacker.


    Take each day as it comes; she knew she was not cut out for surgery.


    Limited talent in the surgical field, she might as well focus on scientific research.


    But!


    Chen Cang winning the championship was in line with her own principles, and it didn¡¯t hinder her from showing off one bit!


    With this thought in mind, Meng Xi picked up her phone and sent a message to a WeChat contact named ¡°Old Thief¡±:


    ¡°Old Thief, less than 4 days left till your doomsday!¡±


    The reply came not long after.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Seeing the message, Meng Xi sneered, ¡°What, giving up so soon?


    Hurry up and give Li Lan back to me!¡±


    Sikong, feeling helpless, replied, ¡°I had broken up with Li Lan before returning to China.¡±


    Meng Xi, upon receiving the message, was stunned!


    ¡°Damn you, Old Thief, you¡¯ve actually abandoned her after causing the trouble, to my Li Lan¡­¡±


    Sikong, still feeling helpless, said, ¡°Meng bro, will it be okay if I said I was wrong?¡±


    ¡°What have I done to you?


    I¡¯ll change, okay?


    Can¡¯t you old man stop fixating on my girl?¡±


    ¡°How many times already?


    My dad has tasked me, saying he won¡¯t acknowledge his son if I don¡¯t get married soon!¡±


    Meng Xi laughed it off, ¡°What¡¯s that got to do with me?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Sikong just couldn¡¯t resist pleading, ¡°Meng bro, let¡¯s negotiate.


    How can I get you to let me off the hook?¡±


    Meng Xi immediately laughed and said, ¡°Let my disciple win the first place!¡±


    Sikong sighed, ¡°Your disciple?¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, ¡°Yes, Chen Cang.


    He¡¯s also participating in the national competition this year.¡±


    After hearing that, Sikong couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Meng bro, I would like to oblige, but I just can¡¯t afford to lose¡­


    his strength won¡¯t allow it!¡±


    ¡°Alright, Meng bro, just focus on your scientific research.


    With your level of surgical skills, you shouldn¡¯t take on any disciples, so as not to mislead the youth!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi sneered instantly.


    Wait till my disciple takes you down and then whispers in your ear, ¡°I haven¡¯t even exerted myself and you¡¯ve already fallen?¡±


    Won¡¯t that be awesome!


    And then tell him, ¡°My teacher sent me to defeat you!¡±


    Yeah!


    Full of swagger.


    That¡¯ll teach you to be arrogant!


    Hmph!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Here¡¯s something bittersweet to share.


    When I posted the second chapter at noon today, there was a little problem; it was a repeat of the first chapter, but I fixed it after a few minutes.


    This was quite a helpless situation!


    But!


    Something interesting happened; to my astonishment, the subscription for the second chapter suddenly increased by a thousand!


    Goodness, what¡¯s happening, I thought.


    Later, I discovered that many pirated version followers were returning.


    The pirated versions hadn¡¯t been corrected and were the same as the previous chapter.


    It seems my pirated version followers are quite loyal¡­


    Here, I¡¯d like to request our dear pirated version readers please visit Qidian sometimes, bestow some support and favor upon the old pro, even if it¡¯s just once a week, ten chapters at a time, so I can earn a living emmmmme ¡­


    ps: Finally, a big thank you to ¡°Master Zilei¡± for the generous gift of 10,000, thank you!

 Chapter 635 - Chapter 635 Chapter 635 Call Director Chen!

    ?Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Call Director Chen!


    Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Call Director Chen!


    After she spoke, a knock on the door echoed through the room.


    A delicate woman dressed in a robe entered, ¡°Mengmeng, haven¡¯t you gone to bed yet?¡±


    Meng Xi turned at the sound of the voice and smiled, ¡°Mom, what¡¯s up?¡±


    The woman was in her fifties, but well-maintained, with neatly arranged shoulder-length hair, and the purple robe she wore looked expensive no matter how one looked at it!


    She sat down next to Meng Xi, and it was clear that Meng Xi resembled her a good deal.


    ¡°Here¡¯s a phone for you, call the housekeeper when you get to the capital, and stay at our house instead of a hotel.¡±


    Meng Xi smiled, ¡°Thanks, Mom!¡±


    ¡°Mom, just how many houses do we have?


    Every time I go somewhere, you give me an address¡­¡±


    Meng Wanrong couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Want to know?¡±


    Meng Xi shook her head, ¡°Not really, I can still mooch off you!¡±


    Meng Wanrong looked at her daughter, now so grown-up, and couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Right, bring your student along too, for some company.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi laughed out loud, ¡°You mean Chen Cang?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã0


    More like he¡¯s the one I¡¯ll have to take care of, right?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, let him also witness the grandeur of our old Meng Family¡¯s mansion!¡±


    Meng Wanrong¡¯s smile always seemed so graceful and composed.


    She chatted with Meng Xi until past ten before heading back to her room to rest.


    Meng Xi watched her mother leave and felt a warmth in her heart.


    No matter how busy she was, she always made time to talk, and Meng Xi had returned to the country because her mother was getting older, and she didn¡¯t want her to keep running around anymore.


    The person Meng Xi cared about the most in this life was her, her mother seemed so strong, a chairwoman of a listed company, with tens of billions in assets and incredibly busy every day, but even so, she made every effort to spend time with her.


    Initially, Meng Xi didn¡¯t understand her mother, so she went off to the U.S.


    during high school and stayed away for over a decade, rarely returning to her home country, with her mother being the one to actively visit her in the U.S.


    Every month, she would make several trips, and even though she said it was for business travel, in reality, it was to spend time with her daughter, to cook her home meals, accompany her on shopping trips, to the movies, and provide the companionship within her abilities.


    Meng Xi was from a single-parent family, and just like in many stories, Meng Wanrong had an unfortunate encounter with a man, was left alone after a tumultuous relationship, and came to An Yang city with 21-year-old Meng Xi.


    Achieving what they had today after all these years of struggle was no small feat.


    Meng Xi took her mother¡¯s surname, and between her mother¡¯s experiences and her own, she developed a lack of trust in men, while Meng Wanrong worried about her daughter¡¯s personality flaws, thus acting both as father and mother, trying her best to be there for her.


    She found that over the years, there were only two men in Meng Xi¡¯s lifea€¡±one was the arch-nemesis Sikong, and the other was Chen Cang.


    Meng Wanrong had thought at first that Meng Xi liked Sikong, but after a thorough investigation, she realized Meng Xi simply saw Sikong as a competitor.


    Because Sikong was so outstanding, the competitive Meng Xi had always seen him as a rival to surpass.


    The two had known each other for seven or eight years, and could be considered old friends, or old rivals.


    Basically, whatever Sikong strived for, Meng Xi also wanted to give it a shot, just in case she managed to win it.


    She wouldn¡¯t even spare the girlfriend!


    This left Sikong utterly confused!


    But he was helpless to object!


    After all, Meng Xi liked women, right?


    There was nothing wrong with that!


    Moreover, the girl was wealthy and bold, good-looking, and well-developed in IQ, EQ, and even her bust size.


    As for Meng Xi liking him?


    pui!


    Sikong would believe in ghosts before he¡¯d believe that!


    Then came Chen Cang.


    And Chen Cang¡¯s appearance was somewhat of a surprise to Meng Wanrong.


    Because it seemed Meng Xi had found another kind of dependable relationship.


    The bond between teacher and student is, admittedly, one of the most reliable kinds of relationships in the world, akin to family ties or romantic love.


    Although Meng Xi claimed to enjoy the company of women, Meng Wanrong realized that what Meng Xi actually craved was the feeling of having someone to rely on and trust.


    Meng Wanrong wouldn¡¯t demand Meng Xi to be a certain way, she respected her and understood her very well.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã0


    But she hoped that when she grew old, Meng Xi would have someone to depend on or accompany her.


    And that person was Chen Cang, her support and companion.


    Perhaps Meng Xi was strong enough not to need someone else¡¯s support, but Meng Wanrong knew that sharing one¡¯s happiness also required a confidant and dependable person.


    Sometimes, sharing joy is even more important than having support.


    She was someone with experience and knew that happiness can sometimes be harder to suppress than sorrow.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Friday morning, a major announcement was posted within the hospital!


    After two or three days of thorough discussion, the leaders of the Second Provincial Hospital had finally established the development plan for 2020-2025.


    Additionally, it was decided in the development section to construct an eight-story emergency department building and an eight-story oncology center in 2020, aiming to complete the training of personnel within three years.


    The moment this news was released, it immediately garnered immense attention.


    However, the news that truly shocked everyone was not this, but rather the internal personnel changes within the Second Provincial Hospital.


    Chen Cang was officially appointed as the Deputy Director of the Emergency Department and would, within a year, be promoted to the position of Director of the Emergency Department.


    This news spread like wildfire among the more than a thousand employees of the Second Provincial Hospital!


    It was astounding!


    The 27-year-old Deputy Director of the emergency department of a provincial hospital, becoming the Director!


    Take a close looka€¡±how many are there in the entire province?


    Without any exaggeration, none!


    But this wasn¡¯t even the most exaggerated part.


    The promotion to Director of the emergency department a year later was truly profound.


    This year Chen Cang was 27, turning 28, and after completing a year of advanced studies, would return to become the 29-year-old Director of the Emergency Department.


    The youngest director of a tertiary hospital in the province!


    Meng Xi was 30, a Ph.D.


    graduate from Sweden¡¯s Karolinska Institute, and she received the treatment of a deputy director.


    Jing Ran was 31, a postdoctoral fellow, a top graduate from Fuwai, and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences postdoctoral mobile station, and he also received the treatment of a deputy director!


    But Chen Cang, at that time 29, would receive the treatment of a director!


    The entire hospital was abuzz with discussion!


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Chen Cang exaggerating a bit?


    Just three years after joining, he¡¯s already the Deputy Director of the Emergency Department, and a year later, he¡¯ll be the Director.


    Isn¡¯t this speed like riding a rocket?¡±


    ¡°You call this fast?


    Think about it, Chen Cang just got his official appointment this year, and in less than half a year, he was promoted to Deputy Director of the department.


    Isn¡¯t that scary?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, isn¡¯t the hospital being too hasty?


    After all¡­


    the emergency department isn¡¯t just any department, can Chen Cang handle it?¡±


    ¡°Next year our hospital is going to build an eight-story emergency department building, think about that, ponder it!¡±


    ¡°Holy cow!


    Does this mean that when Chen Cang becomes the Director of the Emergency Department, he won¡¯t just be managing a department, but a whole building?¡±


    Once this was said, everyone was stunned!


    Could it be that this emergency department building was being constructed for Chen Cang?


    A doctor not yet 30 years old, in charge of such an emergency department building.


    At that moment, everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open.


    Shock was insufficient to convey the inner emotions of the crowd.


    But everyone knew that, from today on¡­


    ¡°Little Chen¡± couldn¡¯t be called that anymore, he really should be referred to as Director Chen!

 Chapter 636 - Chapter 636 Chapter 636 Lets wait and see!

    ?Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Let¡¯s wait and see!


    Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Let¡¯s wait and see!


    When all the clues were connected, everyone was shocked.


    ¡°Can a deputy director hold such power over an eight-story building?¡±


    What¡¯s key is the actual authority!


    To put it bluntly, isn¡¯t such a director expected to also hold the position of a deputy hospital president?


    This person might be the most powerful individual in the hospital, second only to the president!


    With this realization, the whole hospital began to buzz with discussions.


    Some even questioned the hospital¡¯s hasty decision-making.


    ¡°On what grounds?


    What qualifications does he have to become the director of the emergency building?¡±


    ¡°Exactly, isn¡¯t he far from qualified?¡±


    ¡­


    It was at this time that Chen Cang¡¯s official appointment document was issued and posted on the hospital¡¯s bulletin board!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã0


    This made everyone witness the administrative department¡¯s unexpectedly rapid and efficient work for the first time!


    Does Chen Cang really deserve such esteem from the hospital?


    However, when everyone read the personal profile section beneath Chen Cang¡¯s appointment document, they felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.


    ¡°Chen Cang, male, 27 years old, master¡¯s degree, member of the Chinese Society of Hepatobiliary Surgery, director of the Dongyang Provincial Society of Hepatobiliary Surgery, member of the Chinese Society of Hand Surgery, director of the provincial society of Hand Surgery, member of the Chinese Society of Cardiothoracic Surgery¡­


    In 2019, he published three international core papers (two in the ¡®British Journal of Surgery¡¯ and one in ¡®Liver Transplantation¡¯); modified two types of surgical procedures, established the Chen method for tendon suturing, applied for a national-level project, and participated in the 2020 national key research program for hand surgery¡­¡±


    After reading it, everyone was stunned!


    This information was too astonishing!


    It was enough to crush people¡¯s spirits!


    Who would have thought that the seemingly insignificant ¡°Little Chen¡± could be so incredible?


    Joining four national first-class societies and two provincial societies as a director at once a€¡° is he a prodigy?


    Curiosity filled people¡¯s hearts.


    Not to mention those three top-tier papers, to speak frankly, even the president of the hospital, Qin Xiaoyuan, hadn¡¯t published any, right?


    Clinical skills, research prowess a€¡° he has it all!


    Why shouldn¡¯t he be the deputy director?


    Upon considering this, everyone, no matter how reluctant they felt internally, had to concede outwardly!


    After all, if you¡¯ve got the talent, then step up!


    The hospital authority made this information public to tell everyone that if they¡¯re capable, they too should step up.


    Chen Cang¡¯s exceptional promotion unexpectedly motivated many young doctors in the hospital, which nobody had anticipated!


    Sometimes, healthy competition is the core driving force behind progress!


    Even so, there were still some people with ulterior motives who tried to stir the pot.


    However, at this point, no matter how much they agitated, it was to no avail; the decision was finalized with the hospital¡¯s seal, and nothing would change that.


    They could only grumble in private.


    But while many in the hospital began to doubt and discuss Chen Cang, at that moment, the emergency department, cardiac surgery, and general surgery departments were surprisingly unanimous!


    They supported Chen Cang!


    Because Chen Cang had truly impressed the emergency department with his abilities.


    Even though everyone still jokingly called him ¡°Little Chen,¡± they were all very clear on one thinga€¡±


    Little Chen was already surpassing them.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Chen Cang felt a whirlwind of emotions on his way back from the hospital office to the emergency department.


    He was greeted with nods and hellos all along the way.


    ¡°Good morning, Director Chen!¡±


    ¡°Director Chen!¡±


    ¡°Hello, Director Chen!¡±


    ¡­


    Facing so many greetings, Chen Cang still felt somewhat uncomfortable.


    When Chen Cang returned to his department, an enthusiastic cheer erupted!


    ¡°Director Chen is back!¡±


    ¡°Good day, Director Chen, just don¡¯t give me a hard time¡­¡± Lele said with a laugh.


    Chen Cang smiled and told Li Baoshan, ¡°Chief, I¡¯ll need to go to the capital this afternoon for the competition tomorrow, just wanted to let you know.¡±


    Li Baoshan nodded with a smile, ¡°Mhm, give it your all!


    Strive to win an award and show those who look down on you!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°I surely will!¡±


    Back in the president¡¯s office, Qin Xiaoyuan had wanted to say the same thing but refrained to avoid adding pressure on Chen Cang, merely offering a light encouragement.


    But Chen Cang knew that what he needed now was achievement!


    When you lay your achievements out in front of everyone, skepticism looks pale and feeble!


    Chen Cang, who originally hadn¡¯t been intent on winning, had now made up his mind to take the championship!


    Chen Cang tidied up his things and stood up to leave.


    At that moment, Qin Xiang¡¯s phone rang.


    Chen Cang answered, ¡°Director Qin.¡±


    Qin Xiang nodded, ¡°Xiao Chen, come over to my place.


    ??¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    I¡¯ll give you your visa.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Has it been processed so quickly?¡±


    Qin Xiang smiled, ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal, just come here to pick it up.¡±


    Chen Cang laughed, pleased to be someone with a visa now.


    But, boy was he busy!


    The day after tomorrow, he would participate in the national cardiovascular surgery skills competition.


    Next weekend, he would go to Korea to attend the cosmetic surgery annual conference.


    It was said that Petter would also be there as a judge and that there would be an incredible award, selecting the annual best cosmetic surgeon.


    This was a world-class award!


    Thinking about that, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Suddenly, he felt that everything was arranged perfectly.


    A national surgical champion, a world¡¯s best cosmetic surgeon!


    Two awards compelling enough to convince everyone.


    That should be enough to win everyone¡¯s complete approval, right?


    At this thought, Chen Cang¡¯s heart surged with passion and motivation.


    Indeed, for the promotion offered by Qin Xiaoyuan, Chen Cang was profoundly grateful.


    With such a leader, with such a father-in-law, Chen Cang naturally could not let them down!


    He also couldn¡¯t make it difficult for Director Qin to justify his decision; producing results would solve many unnecessary problems.


    People should understand each other, considering things from the other¡¯s standpoint.


    Qin Xiaoyuan supported Chen Cang in every possible way.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t want people to criticize Director Qin for being unfair.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The news spread fast.


    Xiong Kangyu, after clarifying Chen Cang¡¯s information, couldn¡¯t help shouting with joy!


    He had actually discovered such a versatile talent!


    A raw jade!


    Raw jade, indeed!


    But just as he was about to approach Chen Cang for a conversation, he suddenly learned of the news that Chen Cang had been promoted exceptionally by the Provincial Second Hospital.


    And promised the Director position of the Emergency Building in a year!


    Xiong Kangyu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!


    Since when had Qin Xiaoyuan become so decisive?


    Zhao Xiuping was also having a hard time; after scheming for so long, he hadn¡¯t expected Chen Cang to be promoted exceptionally!


    However, when Zhao Xiuping saw Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s bold move,


    he simply shook his head with only a faint reaction.


    Clearly, he believed Chen Cang wasn¡¯t worth that much.


    The director of the Emergency Building?


    How many people could fill that role?


    Chen Cang was exceptional!


    But he was only 27; who could say for certain about the future?


    Meanwhile, Qian Liang was sighing and feeling a deep sense of wonder.


    After all, he had missed the mark by a step!


    Zhao Xiuping couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Old Qian, isn¡¯t that a bit of an exaggeration?¡±


    Qian Liang, upon hearing this, didn¡¯t argue, but simply said faintly, ¡°Old Zhao, let¡¯s wait and see.¡±

 Chapter 637 - Chapter 637 Chapter 637 Teacher Meng, please let Xiaotian go!

    ?Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Teacher Meng, please let Xiaotian go!


    Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Teacher Meng, please let Xiaotian go!


    The medical circle is neither too big nor too small.


    The news of Chen Cang being appointed as vice-director of the Emergency Department at the Second Provincial Hospital spread rapidly, and it did not take even a day for it to attract the attention of many people.


    There were mixed opinions about the Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s aggressive development and bold staffing approach.


    Some praised it, and naturally, there were also criticisms.


    However, no matter what others said, it did not have any impact on the Second Provincial Hospital.


    On the same day, Qin Xiaoyuan received a phone call from Qin Yueming.


    ¡°Brother, you really work fast!¡± Qin Yueming said straightforwardly.


    Qin Xiaoyuan chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s not about being fast.


    When things come to this point, this is what needs to be done.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Yueming couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    In his heart, his brother had always been someone steady, but this bold move and Chen Cang¡¯s appointment had impressed him.


    He felt that Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s gamble was definitely going to pay off big time!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Others might not understand Qin Xiaoyuan, but he did!


    Others might think that Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s appointment was to quickly promote Chen Cang, but they could not imagine that it was actually helping the Second Provincial Hospital.


    By then¡­


    when Chen Cang won the national championship, everyone would understand what talent investment truly is!


    After some idle chat, they hung up the phone.


    Not long after, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s phone rang again.


    This time, however, it was a leader from the Health Committee, Vice Director Duan Xuezhen.


    ¡°Hello?


    Director Duan.¡±


    Duan Xuezhen answered the phone, ¡°Director Qin, have you seriously considered Chen Cang¡­?


    Over here, I¡¯ve received some different opinions.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Leader, has the matter even reached you?¡±


    Duan Xuezhen chuckled and nodded, ¡°Yes, the stakes are high, and naturally, there are many who are envious.


    They¡¯re questioning what merits and abilities Chen Cang has.


    But!


    More are talking about you.


    After all, you are at a critical juncture; several hospital heads and directors are competing with you for a deputy bureau position.


    If this matter is not handled well, I¡¯m worried about the repercussions it may have on you.


    As long as you know what you¡¯re doing, that¡¯s fine.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan said, ¡°Leader, what do you think about this matter?¡±


    Duan Xuezhen smiled, ¡°I naturally trust you.¡±


    Duan Xuezhen was not a fool; it was Qin Xiaoyuan who had recommended that he visit Kong Jiahui.


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan shook his head, ¡°Leader, in fact, this is for helping Dongyang retain talent.


    Have you considered, if Chen Cang wins the national skills competition and secures a top national project, do you think we in Dongyang could keep Chen?¡±


    With that statement, Duan Xuezhen was stunned, ¡°Old Qin, are things really as remarkable as you say?¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan affirmed, ¡°You¡¯ll see in time.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Duan Xuezhen immediately said, ¡°If Chen Cang truly wins the championship, this would be a tremendous accomplishment for you.


    You won¡¯t need to wait until next year; a promotion is assured for this year!¡±


    When has Dongyang Province ever won any national-level surgical skill competition prizes?


    If Chen Cang represents the Second Provincial Hospital and wins, moreover staying with the Second Provincial Hospital, how great a thing would that be for the health system in Dongyang?


    Listened to by Duan Xuezhen, who was actually quite excited!


    Qin Xiaoyuan smiled, hung up the phone, and couldn¡¯t help shaking his head; these people all thought they were supporting Chen Cang, but little did they know that Qin Xiaoyuan was considering the Second Provincial Hospital.


    With Chen Cang here, it wouldn¡¯t take five years for him to lead the Second Provincial Hospital into the top three in the province!


    And even create several nationally ranked key departments.


    They!


    They simply do not understand the potential Chen Cang holds.


    Moreover, as Duan Xuezhen said, many people are laughing, waiting for Qin Xiaoyuan to make a mistake at the crucial moment.


    If a mistake occurs now, Old Qin¡¯s career could be limited to this point.


    However, Qin Xiaoyuan might have limited capabilities!


    But he was fortunate!


    In this critical period, he had a son-in-law with the providence of a fortunate father-in-law.


    Although he outwardly told Chen Cang, ¡°Little Chen, don¡¯t be nervous, it doesn¡¯t matter whether you get a ranking or not,¡± Chen Cang¡¯s ranking this time was directly linked to Old Qin¡¯s future.


    Don¡¯t ever think that being a dean means you can do whatever you want.


    Old Qin was also under a lot of pressure.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    They had to report to the hotel for the competition by seven in the evening and pick up their related competition documents.


    Chen Cang had lunch with Qin Yue at noon.


    Qin Yue insisted on having hot pot and it had to be spicy; in her words, it was a fiery and spicy auspicious sign.


    However, Chen Cang felt¡­


    it was just that Qin Yue had been craving hot pot for several days!


    Qin Yue sighed, ¡°My dad won¡¯t let me go with you¡­¡±


    ¡°He said to cheer up, don¡¯t be nervous and don¡¯t put pressure on yourself.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, feeling somewhat touched inside.


    He visited the Second Provincial Hospital and met with Qin Xiang, from whom he also learned about the pressure his father-in-law was carrying at the moment.


    Chen Cang certainly wouldn¡¯t slack off!


    With his father-in-law being so good to him, how could he let down Old Qin?


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã?


    Of course not!


    Scamming food and drinks, stealing clothes, those were domestic matters!


    Presenting a united front was public business!


    He wanted to present Old Qin with not just a national champion but also the best plastic (aesthetic) surgeon in the world.


    With two honors in hand, it would be seen if Old Qin¡¯s face shone with pride.


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your husband is number one in the world!¡±


    Qin Xiaotian instantly squinted her eyes, ¡°That¡¯s a given!


    Here, have a bite of tripe as a reward¡­¡±


    While eating the spicy hot pot, Qin Yue¡¯s face was steaming hot, ¡°Right, there are so many girls in the capital, you can¡¯t be fickle, okay?


    I¡¯ll have Sister Meng Xi keep an eye on you!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s heart instantly tightened.


    He was even more worried about his Qin Xiaotian; she must not be targeted by Queen Meng!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang decided to give a reminder, ¡°Wife!


    You have to protect yourself, remain pure as jade; don¡¯t let anyone get close, male or female, even Teacher Meng is not allowed!¡±


    Qin Yue immediately rolled her eyes, ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±


    ¡°Teacher Meng is a really nice person!¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang heard this, he knew there was trouble, no, no!


    He had to communicate properly with Teacher Meng, find out if she could spare my little Xiaotian.


    If you really can¡¯t resist, I can take you to visit some leisure and entertainment places to indulge¡­


    If you really can¡¯t hold back, I could stand in for my classmate Xiaotian¡­


    Ptooey ptooey ptooey!


    Chen Cang swore, he definitely wasn¡¯t lusting after Teacher Meng!


    He was protecting his own Qin Xiaotian.


    ¡­


    He bade farewell to Xiao Qin with reluctance.


    Chen Cang picked up his phone, only to find he had been added to a group chat.


    The name was: The Outsiders of Dongyang Cardio.


    Looking at this name, Chen Cang felt it odd, heart insiders sounded much nicer, outsiders¡­


    sigh!


    There were only four people in the group.


    Qin Yueming, Guo Yunfei, Meng Xi, and himself.


    Once Qin Yueming saw everyone had joined, he said, ¡°I will send you the address for reporting.


    We¡¯re taking the high-speed train at two o¡¯clock, so let¡¯s meet up at the station at 1:30.


    Make sure you have your luggage and belongings ready, as we¡¯ll be going for two days.¡±

 Chapter 638 - Chapter 638 Chapter 638 Women are fairies, Meng Xi is a drama queen!

    ?Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Women are fairies, Meng Xi is a drama queen!


    Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Women are fairies, Meng Xi is a drama queen!


    Every province has to send a judge to lead their team to the competition, and Qin Yueming naturally was the adjudicator from Dongyang Province, as well as the person leading the team there.


    This was Qin Yueming¡¯s first time meeting Chen Cang, and he guessed¡­


    this boy probably didn¡¯t even know he was Qin Yue¡¯s little uncle, right?


    With this thought, Qin Yueming couldn¡¯t help but smile a bit, also filled with expectation for this Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang went home to pack and suddenly realized¡­


    What the heck am I packing for!


    What¡¯s there to pack?


    Two days¡¯ time, eating, drinking, shitting, pissing a€¡± the hotel has it all covered.


    What should I bring?


    After packing up his personal belongings, Chen Cang took a cab straight to the train station.


    From a distance, Chen Cang could already see a woman.


    She was flamboyant wherever she was!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    Yes, it was his teacher, Meng Xi.


    Watching Teacher Meng in her tight-fitting leather outfit, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    This teacher, really making her students worry¡­


    Wearing that leather, aren¡¯t you afraid of holding in a fart and suffocating?


    Chen Cang sighed and walked over.


    ¡°Teacher Meng, couldn¡¯t you worry your students a bit less?¡± Chen Cang sighed, looking at the men around with their lustful stares, and couldn¡¯t help but advise, ¡°You¡¯re going to compete in a surgical skills competition, not a car race.¡±


    Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but laugh upon hearing this, shaking like a flower in the breeze.


    Chen Cang felt nervous for the station¡¯s law enforcement officers; if this caused any public disorder, they would be really busy.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang decided he should eliminate a threat to the people; he quickly pulled Meng Xi through the ticket check and into the waiting hall, then shoved her into a corner to sit down and finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    After entering, Chen Cang curiously discovered that this person didn¡¯t bring any luggage, just a shoulder bag: ¡°Where¡¯s your luggage?¡±


    Meng Xi shook her head: ¡°Why bring any luggage?


    I¡¯m not staying at a hotel.


    I¡¯ll just go to my place.¡±


    ¡°Right, you can come with me!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes lit up and he nodded, ¡°Forget it, I like staying at hotels.¡±


    Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s half-hearted response, Meng Xi almost burst out laughing.


    Chen Cang also scratched his head awkwardly to ease the embarrassment.


    Meng Xi smiled: ¡°Alright, don¡¯t overthink it.


    My place should be a villa.


    When the time comes, the housekeeper will come to pick you up.


    Also, you can tutor me.


    I¡¯ve been watching videos these past few days and always feel something is missing.


    You can explain it to me when you¡¯re there.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, without refusing.


    Before long, Guo Yunfei and Qin Yueming came over, pulling a piece of luggage.


    As expected, upon seeing Meng Xi, Guo Yunfei sat far away, not daring to look, yet¡­


    still wanting to sneak peeks.


    When Meng Xi saw Qin Yueming, she actively stood up with a smile and said, ¡°Hello, President Qin.¡±


    Qin Yueming nodded with a smile, ¡°Meng Xi, you look even more beautiful.¡±


    Meng Xi laughed generously, exuding grace and poise!


    This made Chen Cang scoff.


    This woman was an actress through and through.


    The smile just now was too fake.


    When she was with him, she was clearly cheap, but as soon as there were others around, even the leathery outfit seemed much more appropriate, and together with the graceful and generous smile, she seemed a lot more youthful and vibrant!


    ¡°This is my student, Chen Cang.¡± When Meng Xi introduced Chen Cang, she really appeared every inch the teacher she should be, dignified and gracious, a paragon of teaching!


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help being stunned; was what I saw earlier just an illusion?


    ¡°`


    Ah!


    Indeed, my father was right, the prettier the woman, the more of a fox spirit she is, and Meng Xi is definitely a drama queen!


    Chen Cang quickly stood up, ¡°Director Qin, hello.¡±


    For some reason, upon seeing Qin Yueming, Chen Cang always felt a familiar sensation, as though he had seen him somewhere before!


    But he couldn¡¯t quite put his finger on it.


    Qin Yueming sized up Chen Cang, tall and sturdy, sunny, and handsome, neither humble nor arrogant, giving off a sense of amiability.


    A very good first impression.


    Qin Yueming nodded, smiled, and said, ¡°Hmm, Chen, not bad, take a seat.¡±


    During the conversation, Qin Yueming suddenly gestured to Guo Yunfei who was some distance away, ¡°Yunfei, come here, let me introduce you.¡±


    Guo Yunfei was taken aback and sighed helplessly while taking a seat next to Chen Cang.


    After Qin Yueming made the introductions, he said with a smile, ¡°This time, our Dongyang province is counting on the three of you, you are Dongyang¡¯s hope.


    You must really give it your all.¡±


    ¡°Yunfei, you have the most experience.


    If your luck isn¡¯t bad, you should be able to achieve a pretty good ranking.¡±


    At this point, Qin Yueming continued, ¡°Meng Xi, Chen, both of you are participating in the national competition for the first time.


    Let me tell you about the rules.¡±


    Qin Yueming explained, ¡°There are 200 competitors nationwide, divided into four groups to compete simultaneously, which is done by drawing lots, quite random.


    Eventually, three people from each group advance, twelve people in total enter the final.¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow is just the group competition.


    Out of 50 people in each group, only three can advance, and there are only three rounds of competition.¡±


    ¡°The group competition is essentially an elimination match.


    The first round is very simple, with the same surgery for all participants.


    Out of 50, twelve from each group advance based on their scores and rankings.¡±


    ¡°In the second round, twelve people advance to six; although it¡¯s a PK system, it¡¯s based on scores.


    For example, if you encounter Yunfei and both of you perform very well with high scores, then you both advance, while the ones with lower scores are eliminated.¡±


    ¡°The third round is a PK elimination round, choosing three out of six to advance as winners to the final.¡±


    Upon saying this, Qin Yueming added, ¡°Actually, the point-ranking competition is to ensure the fairness of the competition to the greatest extent and to reduce any randomness.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded in agreement; indeed, this could prevent the scenario of strong contestants facing each other early on and being eliminated.


    Qin Xiaoyuan paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°Actually, what the national competition values the most is the final.¡±


    ¡°Which is the competition on the second day.


    Last year, Yunfei encountered Sikong in the third round and was eliminated, not making it to the finals.¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you about the specific competitions and the assessment criteria for the finals.¡±


    ¡°At that time, the twelve of you will enter the emergency departments of twelve hospitals to participate in rescue work on-site.


    However, when an ambulance is called out, we¡¯ll try to ensure that it¡¯s for cardiothoracic rescue, but we can¡¯t guarantee it will be for a certain surgery.¡±


    ¡°Of course, you¡¯ll just be accompanying the team.


    The actual rescue work is completed by the group, and we¡¯ll score based on your participation.¡±


    ¡°The higher your participation and the more successful the rescue, the higher your score.¡±


    ¡°Likewise, the lower your participation and the failure of the rescue, the lower your score will naturally be.¡±


    After hearing this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.


    After all, it was the national competition, and everyone was somewhat nervous.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    However, Chen Cang glanced at Guo Yunfei and realized that¡­


    it seemed Dr.


    Guo¡¯s pressure wasn¡¯t on the competition, but rather on Meng Xi, who was in front of him wearing a tight-fitting leather jacket.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh!


    Ah¡­


    having such a mentor, a disciple¡¯s heart is weary!


    ¡­


    PS: There will be more this afternoon, striving for six updates!!

 Chapter 639 - Chapter 639 Chapter 639 The match begins!

    ?Chapter 639: Chapter 639: The match begins!


    Chapter 639: Chapter 639: The match begins!


    Chen Cang sat on the high-speed train heading to the capital, lost in thoughts.


    Even with Meng Xi sitting beside him, he remained unmoved.


    One thing occupied his mind!


    The victory mechanism in the instance he had joined was PK with drop!


    So here comes the question!


    What the hell does the scoring system count as PK?


    Especially in the first round, when everyone competes together, those with higher scores advance, but with no specific opponent, how can there be PK drops?


    At this moment, Chen Cang was full of curiosity about the upcoming competition!


    If I get the highest score in the field, am I considered to have PK¡¯d everyone?


    And then there¡¯s the final!


    Those who make it into the finals are all ace players, but¡­


    how are the rewards calculated?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã0


    Chen Cang fell into a deep contemplation.


    If that¡¯s the case¡­


    does it mean everyone with a lower score was PK¡¯d by me?


    As for the rewards¡­


    Could it be¡­


    each person drops some rewards for me?


    At the thought, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes turned green with envy.


    Could there really be such a good thing?


    Meng Xi sat on the side, watching her student staring blankly at the bus seat advertisement for a whole hour!


    And she saw a strong interest and desire in his eyes¡­


    What¡¯s so interesting about this ad?


    With that, Meng Xi looked up and frowned slightly.


    ¡°Yellow River Men¡¯s Reproductive Health Hospital, we help you¡­


    make men more confident!¡±


    After reading it, Meng Xi sighed.


    Perhaps¡­


    he has some unspeakable issues?


    Thinking this, Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help shaking her head, it seems the heavens are fair after all, nobody¡¯s perfect!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After getting off the train, Guo Yunfei had not even had the chance to suggest everyone download a metro app when Meng Xi said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve asked a driver to pick us up, he¡¯s already outside the station.¡±


    The group was slightly taken aback, but upon going outside, they saw a Mercedes-Benz van parked at the corner with a man looking like a driver saying, ¡°Miss Meng, hello.¡±


    Seeing the luxurious Mercedes and the professional driver, Chen Cang and Guo Yunfei exchanged glances, encouraging each other with their eyes: This Meng is a diamond catch, brother, you can do it!


    Then, both sighed, after all, they were both taken men.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    After the driver spoke, he started to help Yue Ming and Guo Yunfei with their luggage.


    Once on board, the driver asked, ¡°Shall we go back to the villa first or somewhere else?¡±


    Meng Xi looked at Qin Yueming, ¡°Dean Qin, where shall we go first?¡±


    Qin Yueming hesitated slightly before responding, ¡°Let¡¯s go to check-in first, the address is here, thanks, driver.¡±


    Meng Xi smiled, ¡°Right, Dean Qin, these few days you can rest at home, no need for a hotel.


    There are plenty of rooms at home, there¡¯s a chef, and it¡¯s very peaceful.¡±


    Qin Yueming smiled in refusal, ¡°I still have a lot of things to take care of, staying at a hotel is convenient, I won¡¯t trouble you.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded and did not insist.


    After checking in at the hotel lobby, Chen Cang also went through the check-in process and got his room card and meal voucher.


    After all, with the competition lasting all day, it¡¯s convenient to rest and have a meal at the hotel at noon.


    The room had been booked in advance, so it would be a waste not to stay in it.


    As for staying with the teacher, it¡¯s uncomfortable to eat at someone else¡¯s mercy and live under their roof.


    Stick to the private tutoring, without any interference.


    However¡­


    Chen Cang now felt he was a bit overconfident himself, hoping for Meng Xi to take second place seemed far-fetched.


    It¡¯s better to do a last-minute cramming these next few days, hoping for some improvement.


    After today¡¯s report, there was nothing else to do.


    The next morning at 8 a.m.


    sharp, the lottery drawing for the competition would begin.


    Qin Yueming reminded everyone to be on time, then left with the other directors.


    Nighttime!


    Inside the villa, in a certain room.


    In front of a large high-definition video projection, Chen Cang and Meng Xi were watching surgical videos while eating fruit.


    This was the first time Chen Cang had watched videos in such a manner, and it gave him a rather strange feeling.


    Meng Xi said, ¡°I¡¯ve downloaded all the excellent videos from recent national competitors, 42 videos scoring above 95, with the highest being Sikong¡¯s 98 points¡­


    and among them, there should be videos for the ascending aorta¡­¡±


    Meng Xi had basically classified all the videos in detail, which surprised Chen Cang.


    Meng Xi¡¯s data processing capabilities were truly strong, especially in summarizing and synthesizing.


    The two of them watched until after 1 a.m., discussing non-stop.


    The chef brought them supper at 11 p.m., letting Chen Cang experience what the dull life of the wealthy was like.


    The videos also gave Chen Cang a direct sense of the skill level of some of the formidable competitors.


    Early the next day, after breakfast, a driver took them to the competition venue.


    Upon arriving at the site, Chen Cang felt a d??j?  vu of a major competition, something he had not felt in Dongyang Province.


    Whether it was the layout of the venue, the number of participants, or the attire of the service staff, everything¡­


    Gave off a very solemn and official atmosphere.


    Each seat had a name attached to it; no wandering around.


    The audience seats were on the second floor, densely packed with people.


    The huge screen displayed the history of cardiac surgery development.


    Guo Yunfei told Chen Cang that, during the competition, live scenes from the contest would appear on the big screen, but¡­


    essentially it would be a live broadcast of high-standard surgical videos.


    On the stage were two rows of expert seats.


    During the competition, the experts would analyze the surgical videos that appeared.


    During the opening ceremony, the President of the Chinese Medical Association, the President of the Cardiac Surgery Association, officials from the Health Commission, and several other high-status and prominent individuals took turns giving speeches.


    The opening ceremony lasted for a full hour or more.


    Chen Cang was quite stirred up by the talks.


    A major competition indeed!


    Even Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit excited.


    He turned to look at the CCTV camera behind him and suddenly couldn¡¯t help asking Guo Yunfei, ¡°Is this being broadcasted live?¡±


    Guo Yunfei shook his head, ¡°This is a national event.


    Central Television will definitely cover it, but right now the cameras are focused on the people on stage.


    However, the awards ceremony will be televised, and the top three winners will have their names and close-up shots!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang¡¯s heart began to flutter with excitement.


    Was he going to appear on Central Television?


    ¡°Which channel?¡± Chen Cang asked eagerly.


    Guo Yunfei looked at the excited Chen Cang, sighed, and thought of how he had been the same way once!


    ¡°Channel 4 will definitely have it!


    Channel 1 might show it as well.¡±


    Around 9:30 a.m., the official lottery drawing for the competition began!


    It was still a live drawing,


    With only one match in the morning and two in the afternoon.


    After drawing his lot, Chen Cang promptly registered, A Group 007!


    After the drawing was completed, staff members immediately guided the participants into the arena.


    There was no waiting area for the competition; everyone was admitted into the room, which was outfitted similar to before.


    The competition was conducted simultaneously.


    Upon entering, Chen Cang bowed and greeted everyone.


    After waiting for some time, the surgery officially began at 10 a.m.!


    Prior to this, Chen Cang was completely unaware of the content of the competition.


    As soon as the machinery started, Chen Cang looked inside the chest cavity and his face changed instantly!


    Multiple large blood vessels in the chest had ruptured and were bleeding!


    The cardiac monitor¡¯s alarm beeped incessantly!

 Chapter 640 - Chapter 640 Chapter 640 Is it all over

    ?Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Is it all over?


    (Added for book friend 2017*955163) Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Is it all over?


    (Added for book friend 2017*955163) Although it is a simulated competition, the simulated patient is extremely sensitive to blood pressure and blood volume!


    Undoubtedly, this increases the difficulty of the competition!


    Humans and simulated patients may seem the same, but there is a significant difference in essence.


    A simulated patient¡¯s failure is very direct, a change in numbers is a failure!


    However, due to the compensatory and self-rescue mechanisms in the human body, many miracles can occur.


    But not with a simulated patient!


    When Chen Cang saw the situation inside the thoracic cavity, he felt a tingle in his scalp.


    No wonder they chose to perform a uniform surgery, as it is highly representative.


    Just like now!


    The vena cava was damaged in multiple places, accompanied by direct ruptures at the ascending aorta and the arch of the innominate artery, resulting in multiple bleeding sites!


    The alarm from the heart monitor was constantly reminding Chen Cang.


    Blood pressure at 100/70!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    The blood pressure seems very safe, but with so many major blood vessels ruptured, it won¡¯t be long before the blood pressure drops to a very dangerous number!


    Chen Cang¡¯s brow furrowed with urgency!


    How to choose the surgery had become a very difficult question.


    The damage to the ascending aorta and the innominate artery generally requires occlusion of blood flow!


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    But the vena cava¡¯s blood flow cannot be occluded directly.


    While repairing its damage, only non-invasive vascular clamps can be used to partially clamp the vessel wall, or it can be done with internal shunting.


    Also, due to the severe damage to the vena cava, venous grafting has a high long-term risk of embolism and is not advisable!


    However, the vessel damage was very severe at this time!


    What exactly should be chosen?


    Looking at the simulation external circulation machine box nearby, Chen Cang fell into deep thought.


    If the external circulation machine was used, it was clear that the surgery time would be extended.


    But with such severe venous damage, blood flow cannot be occluded, and venous grafting is not suitable.


    The injuries at the arch of the ascending aorta and innominate artery needed to be dealt with quickly.


    At this moment, blocking became very troublesome; if blood vessel bypass pathways were constructed, it would undoubtedly aggravate venous bleeding¡­


    In a matter of seconds, many different methods had already been considered in Chen Cang¡¯s mind!


    Finally, Chen Cang looked at the heart monitor and had a sudden flash of insight!


    Right!


    The blood pressure is still at 100!


    What¡¯s there to fear?


    Just go for it!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang decided to do something bold.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, on the stage outside, a few experts were sitting together, with the surgery video being displayed on a large screen.


    The audience seated were all doctors in the field of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, as well as master¡¯s and doctoral students and postgraduates in training.


    The host said with a smile, ¡°To be honest, I am always excited every time the National Cardiothoracic Surgery Skills Competition comes around because I get to see a group of young cardiothoracic surgeons rising up, taking the baton from the older generation, becoming the outstanding figures and pillars in our surgical field!¡±


    ¡°The surgery has already started, and I believe everyone can¡¯t wait any longer.


    Let¡¯s hand over the floor to the experts, so they can comment on this surgery.¡±


    In fact, they had a list in their hands, a list of seeded players.


    The video quickly switched to the operating room in a different room.


    The audience below buzzed with discussion.


    Upon seeing the screen, Li Wenbin immediately said, ¡°To be honest, I just saw the competition topic, and the difficulty is a bit high.


    This must be a car accident trauma case, with multiple vena cava injuries, accompanied by contusions at the ascending aorta isthmus and tears in the innominate artery arch!¡±


    ¡°You can see that the wounds on the superior vena cava, left, and right pulmonary veins are quite large!¡±


    ¡°This year¡¯s difficulty is really high!


    Professor Yang, what do you think?¡±


    Everyone who saw the screen furrowed their brows.


    Yang Guangdong nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, this year¡¯s competition is much more difficult than last year¡¯s, but this is a trend, to transform a simple operation into a systematic one.


    Although it raises the difficulty, it can better reflect the surgeon¡¯s ability and can avoid some specialists coincidentally scoring points.¡±


    ¡°However¡­


    this operation is really a test of skill, with multiple injuries to the arteries and veins, how to choose the surgical method and rhythm becomes especially important!¡±


    ¡°Hey?


    This candidate is pretty good, a very steady operation.


    He chose to use a heart-lung machine, dealing with the artery first, and using non-invasive hemostatic forceps to minimize the venous bleeding.


    In doing so, while transfusing blood, the decrease in blood pressure should not be too rapid!¡±


    ¡°Very!


    The surgical technique is also very adept.


    Just by watching these procedures, he should have no problem advancing to the next round!¡±


    The director said with a smile, ¡°Hmm, on the screen is Ding Yu from Anzhen Hospital, last year¡¯s fifth-place finalist.¡±


    The crowd suddenly realized why there were such choices and operations.


    The screen switched once more, and another surgical operation appeared in the video.


    Li Wenbin looked at the screen and suddenly said with a laugh, ¡°This young man thinks just like me.


    The arterial damage is not severe, he chose a shunt tube to separate the injured area in advance, dealing with the veins firsta€¡±after all, the vein injuries are crucial in this operation, and the repair is difficult¡­


    ¡°A great idea, I think he must score high!¡±


    The audience also looked curiously at the host, expecting who this could be.


    The host chuckled, ¡°Hmm, Director Li has a keen eye.


    This is Peng Lu from Huaxi Hospital, a woman who is not inferior to her male colleagues, who secured third place last year!¡±


    The crowd nodded in sudden understanding, so it was her!


    The round-faced Peng Lu!


    However, at this time, the big screen switched again, and in the video, a man was frantically suturing the arch of the anonymous artery!


    The host was taken aback, ¡°This contestant didn¡¯t use a heart-lung bypass, and he¡¯s directly suturing the aortic arch, isn¡¯t that exaggerating!


    Isn¡¯t the risk too great?¡±


    The experts frowned all at once, until Xiong Kangyu said, ¡°No!


    Zoom in, take a closer look at the details!¡±


    Xiong Kangyu zoomed the picture into the thoracic cavity and said, ¡°See?


    His ordered hemostasis method is a pathway currently under study at the World Forum for Cardiothoracic Surgery.


    The reason he didn¡¯t use the bypass machine is that he¡¯s employing a hypothermic suturing blockade.


    He¡¯s doing this because he is very confident in his suturing.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, with this operation, the isolation itself is very difficult, and every choice has risks.


    This kind of direct hypothermic repair, if completed within a certain time, is actually the best plan, but¡­


    it requires extremely high demands on the operator!¡±


    Li Wenbin also nodded, ¡°Hmm, the speed of this contestant¡¯s suturing is too exquisitea€¡±fast, tight, accurate!


    Impressive!


    Everyone, look at the blood pressure, actually, even without using the heart-lung machine, the pressure is maintained at 90.


    I estimate that after the repair is complete, it could stay around 75, which is safe.¡±


    The audience watched as that pair of slender hands continuously sutured, and between the rises and falls, the repair of the anonymous artery arch and the ascending aorta was completed!


    The image didn¡¯t change, for everyone discovered that watching his suturing up close was addictive!


    Xiong Kangyu, suddenly curious, asked, ¡°Who is this contestant?


    I suddenly feel my suturing speed might not even match his!¡±


    Professor Yang nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, I don¡¯t even want to switch the video now, watching this kind of suturing is a pleasure!¡±


    Li Wenbin smiled, ¡°Heh, I believe everyone feels the same way!


    Let¡¯s watch a few more minutes¡­¡±


    The host grinned, ¡°Alright, I believe everyone is curious about who it is, so let me reveal the mystery.


    This is last year¡¯s runner-up, the deputy director of the cardiovascular surgery department at Fuwai Hospital, and the up-and-comer in the field of cardiovascular surgery: Sikong!¡±


    The audience couldn¡¯t help cheering, ¡°Sikong!


    Sikong!¡±


    The supporting person shook his head in amusement and joked, ¡°It seems that Sikong¡¯s popularity is still very high.


    That¡¯s right, he is also a favorite for this year¡¯s championship, but¡­


    if I don¡¯t switch the screen now, the leaders will criticize me!¡±


    The crowd laughed.


    ¡°After looking at last year¡¯s seeded players, let¡¯s switch to a random one!¡±


    The screen jumped, and another surgical scene came into everyone¡¯s view.


    Everyone was stunned!


    It wasn¡¯t just the audience, the expert commentators, or the host, all had shocked expressions as they watched the scene on the screen.


    After a moment, the host was taken aback, ¡°Is this¡­


    the operation is finished?¡±


    Li Wenbin swallowed, ¡°It seems so?¡±


    Professor Yang cleared his throat, ¡°This¡­


    is there a problem, isn¡¯t it too fast?


    The suturing is¡­


    finished?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Cough, cough, cough, I really didn¡¯t want to cut it off, my mom called me to eat, I¡¯ll write more tonight.

 Chapter 641 - Chapter 641 Chapter 641 Domestic Area 007!

    ?Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Domestic Area 007!


    Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Domestic Area 007!


    All the spectators were dumbfounded as they watched the big screen!


    The thoracic cavity on the screen was neatly arranged together!


    That¡¯s right!


    Is this¡­the simulator broken, and the competition hasn¡¯t started yet?


    Or¡­is the surgery already completed?


    Suddenly, there was a buzz of discussion in the audience seats.


    Compared to the idea of the surgery being completed¡­everyone was more inclined to believe that the competition hadn¡¯t started yet!


    No way anyone could believe that someone could complete suturing in such a short amount of time.


    That¡¯s right!


    Even the host and the commentary experts were a bit puzzled.


    The host cleared his throat and said, ¡°This¡­


    Professor Li, what¡¯s the situation here?¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    Everyone breathed a sigh of relief: ¡°So it hasn¡¯t been sutured yet!¡±


    Yes!


    That¡¯s what I was saying¡­how could it be so fast¡­


    But!


    It was at that moment that Xiong Kangyu suddenly said, ¡°Wrong!


    Zoom in more!¡±


    As soon as he spoke, everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they stared at the screen.


    Li Wenbin also frowned slightly, his brows locked in concentration as he looked at the screen!


    After Li Wenbin zoomed in again, everyone was dumbstruck!


    The thread tails!


    The knots!


    Every stitch and thread lined up methodically, closely packed!


    This neat suturing invigorated everyone!


    Is this¡­already sutured?


    Not only was it sutured, but the density and level of detail of the suturing were truly remarkable!


    At this point, everyone was stunned.


    This¡­this is just too incredible, right?


    No!


    It¡¯s double the horror!


    The opponent had already finished suturing, and with such precision.


    For a time, there was a stir in the audience seats, and everyone curiously stared at the big screen,


    Xiong Kangyu took the remote control himself and started looking from the heart to the ascending aorta¡­


    the anonymous artery¡­


    the aortic arch¡­


    and then the descending aorta¡­


    the inferior vena cava, one by one.


    The more he looked, the more incredible he felt.


    The more he looked, the more amazed he became.


    Great!


    The meticulousness of this suturing was no less than that of Sikong.


    The handling of each stitch, the control of details, the handling of needle and knot placement, all were very meticulous.


    So impressive.


    The more Xiong Kangyu watched, the more shocked he felt!


    Meanwhile, Li Wenbin was already gaping, and when the screen stopped at the area of the inferior vena cava, everyone gazed at the vascular repair in that section.


    Some were dumbfounded.


    Li Wenbin couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°The challenge of this surgery lies in the handling of the vena cava, right?


    Professor Yang, Professor Xiong, take a closer look at this repair of the vena cava.


    I find it very strange, how did he suture it!¡±


    As soon as he said this, everyone¡¯s eyes stayed on the repair of the inferior vena cava!


    From the previous surgeries, everyone clearly understood that the gap in the vena cava was quite significant.


    How did Chen Cang repair it?


    Cutting and re-suturing?


    The vena cava can¡¯t be clamped off!


    So how was it dealt with?


    Was a bypass used in advance?


    But if a bypass was used, the timing wouldn¡¯t match.


    No one could possibly complete a bypass cannulation in such a short time, then finish suturing and remove the tube¡­


    Yet why is there suturing and repair around?


    Xiong Kangyu frowned slightly, then his eyes lit up!


    ¡°It was done using a non-invasive vascular clamp to partially clamp the wall of the vessel and repair it separately!¡±


    As soon as he spoke, Li Wenbin immediately questioned, ¡°In that case, can you ensure the equivalence of the two blood vessels?


    With that approach, the difficulty is too great; it¡¯s better to insert a tube!¡±


    Before Li Wenbin could finish speaking, Yang Guangdong said, ¡°Let¡¯s just look back in reverse and see for ourselves!¡±


    Yang Guangdong¡¯s words made everyone laugh.


    Right!


    After all, the video is recorded, just pull it up to have a look.


    After a series of operations, the screen instantly rewinds to the start of Chen Cang¡¯s operation.


    Xiong Kangyu said, ¡°Fast forward, double the speed.¡±


    Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.


    But¡­


    As the surgical video began, everyone saw Chen Cang seemed to have made a certain decision right from the start!


    Exactly!


    Chen Cang¡¯s choice was the same as Sikong¡¯s!


    He charged ahead!


    However, this wasn¡¯t a reckless charge; it required skillful control of the blood flow to meet the various surgical demands while also requiring precise manipulation.


    In short, there must be sufficient control over the operation.


    When it came to suturing!


    The audience below suddenly started making noise!


    ¡°Slow it down a bit!¡±


    ¡°Right!


    It¡¯s too fast¡­


    What kind of speed is this?


    It¡¯s like a wind-up!¡±


    ¡°Yeah¡­


    The movements are all distorted, revert it to the original speed.¡±


    ¡­


    Hearing the audience¡¯s comments, the host couldn¡¯t help but laugh and said, ¡°Right, Director Li, this is too fast, slow it down a bit, no one can see the suturing clearly.¡±


    Li Wenbin nodded and reduced the speed to normal.


    But the audience was still saying: ¡°It¡¯s still fast!¡±


    ¡°Right, we want to see the original suturing!¡±


    ¡°Yes, this suturing is very instructive, put it at normal speed so we can all learn; how can we learn if it¡¯s too fast¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Listening to the discussion in the audience seats, Li Wenbin frowned.


    Isn¡¯t this the normal speed?


    It is the normal speed!


    But¡­


    The normal speed was actually this fast?


    At this, the three expert professors were all stunned!


    This¡­


    This!


    This is too fast, isn¡¯t it?


    No wonder he could complete the suturing; Chen Cang¡¯s suturing speed was too fast.


    Indeed!


    This was intentional on Chen Cang¡¯s part.


    In order to preserve blood pressure and to prevent a series of injuries caused by ischemia, he had developed his fastest suturing speed.


    The three directors watched somewhat incredulously.


    At this time, the audience became agitated.


    Seeing this, Li Wenbin promptly said, ¡°Everyone, please quiet down.


    In fact¡­


    our current speed is the normal speed, we haven¡¯t sped it up.


    You can all see for yourselves.¡±


    The audience fixed their gaze.


    And were then dumbfounded.


    It was indeed the normal speed.


    ¡°Damn, are his hands powered by an electric motor?¡±


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°This suturing speed is even faster than Sikong¡¯s!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the use of being fast?


    Can the precision of Sikong¡¯s suturing be the same?¡±


    ¡°Exactly¡­


    Brother Sikong is extremely accomplished in vascular suturing.¡±


    ¡­


    Just then, Li Wenbin said, ¡°I¡¯ll set the speed to 0.5 and let everyone have a look.


    Actually¡­


    this contestant¡¯s vascular repair is really impressive!¡±


    ¡°Not only in suturing speed but also, everyone look, in terms of suturing precision and meticulousness, he uses fine needles and 5-0 atraumatic sutures, which already ensures the precision of the sutures.


    ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    Look at the distance between the stitches, the neatness above and below; it¡¯s no less precise than Sikong¡¯s.


    In fact, in terms of suturing speed, it¡¯s even faster than Sikong¡¯s!


    I am now more and more curious about who this contestant is!¡±


    The audience below was momentarily stunned.


    Does this mean¡­


    This mysterious grassroots contestant is actually more impressive than the favorite contender Sikong?


    Li Wenbin exclaimed, ¡°Truly both delicate and swift!¡±


    ¡°Host, who is this person?¡±


    The host was taken aback and clicked open the video number: ¡°A-007!¡±


    The audience was shocked; no wonder the work was both fast and precise.


    It was 007!

 Chapter 642 - Chapter 642 Chapter 642 Exciting but Not Classic!

    ?Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Exciting but Not Classic!


    Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Exciting but Not Classic!


    At this moment, the audience members were also expressing their feelings.


    ¡°This contestant is even faster than Sikong!¡±


    ¡°Not only faster than Sikong, but if you look closely, I feel the precision is even finer than Sikong¡¯s!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not just about being finer or faster, I think this person definitely looks better than Sikong too!¡±


    ¡­


    The spectator stands were now buzzing with excitement.


    After all, Sikong¡¯s championship status was at risk, and that was a delightful development for everyone.


    The emergence of a dark horse in the competition was unquestionably a good thing because it meant the level of excitement was extremely high!


    Everyone began to look forward with great anticipation.


    Waiting for the host to reveal just who this mysterious 007 really was!


    With a change in the screen,


    suddenly the information about this mysterious contestant with the A-007 code appeared.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    It was Chen Cang¡¯s registration form.


    This ID photo was one that Qin Yue had dragged Chen Cang to take at a photo studio in Vastview City, which cost them 100 yuan.


    For this, Chen Cang grieved for 31 minutes, after all, it was something that could have been solved with just ten yuan, but now 100 had been spent.


    However, if he knew at this moment that his portrait was being adored by a bunch of audience members below, he would definitely feel that it was all worth it.


    After all, once everyone saw Chen Cang¡¯s face, the information below was automatically ignored.


    The female audience members instantly changed sides!


    What Sikong!


    What Ding Yu!


    Chen Cang is the number one in the world!


    The fastest in the world!


    The finest in the world!


    Too handsome, he¡¯s even more dashing than 007, the real domestic version of 007!


    Pah!


    It¡¯s the domestic 007, not domestic zone!


    One word, and it¡¯s miles apart.


    ¡°Name: Chen Cang!


    Age: 27!


    Institution: Dongyang Province Second People¡¯s Hospital.


    Position: Deputy Director of the Emergency Department, Chief of Hand Surgery.¡±


    After seeing Chen Cang¡¯s information, everyone was dumbfounded.


    All the male colleagues from the cardiothoracic department felt indignant.


    How did someone from emergency and hand surgery sneak into our cardiothoracic surgery skill competition?


    This isn¡¯t right!


    Isn¡¯t this a classic case of gatecrashing?


    Are you saying our cardiothoracic department has no one?


    A person from emergency and hand surgery winning the championship is just¡­


    too outrageous!


    However, in the eyes of the female audience, it was obviously a different scene!


    ¡°Wow, so impressive, Chen Cang is only 27 years old!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, so handsome, and he¡¯s the Deputy Director of the Emergency Department and Chief of Hand Surgery at a triple-A hospital in the province, that¡¯s too amazing!¡±


    ¡°Yes, so young yet so skilled, proficient in a variety of techniques!¡±


    ¡°Admirable, go Chen Cang, you¡¯re the best!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang is number one in the world!¡±


    ¡°Come back and be the director of cardiothoracic surgery!¡±


    ¡­


    In the spectator stands, the enthusiasm of the female compatriots was always overwhelming that of the male compatriots.


    The male compatriots swore that they weren¡¯t just jealous or envious of Chen Cang because of his good looks or because he had more female fans, but simply because why would someone from emergency hand surgery come to our cardiothoracic surgery skill competition!


    That¡¯s right!


    We are justa€| jealous!


    Jealous that Chen Cang is too fast!


    Jealous that Chen Cang is also too delicate!


    And the fact that he¡¯s so accomplished despite his young age!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The female host on stage couldn¡¯t help but give a cough.


    ¡°This contestant is so handsome!


    And only 27 years old, how did he develop such fast suturing skills?


    Moreover, with such meticulous attention to detail, his hands are even more agile than those of a pianist.¡±


    ¡°Plus, he¡¯s the Deputy Director of the Emergency Department and the Chief of Hand Surgery!¡±


    ¡°Honestly, I¡¯m getting more and more curious about just how skilled Chen Cang really is, can one person really be proficient in so many surgeries?¡±


    ¡°And now he¡¯s performed a cardiothoracic surgery so impressively too!¡±


    Li Wenbin gave a cough to interrupt the infatuated host and said, ¡°Actually, many surgeries in cardiothoracic surgery are often carried out in the emergency department, which are also central to emergency care, just like Guo Yunfei who was also the director of the emergency department last year.¡±


    Xiong Kangyu looked at Chen Cang and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    As expected, it was Chen Cang!


    Actually, before the surgery, Xiong Kangyu was already prepared in his heart.


    He had thought of Chen Cang in his mind, but¡­


    he dared not believe it.


    After all, if Chen Cang possessed such vascular repair skills, he would regret it to death!


    If he had invited Chen Cang earlier, with more determination, it was possible that Chen Cang could have joined his team.


    Now look what¡¯s happened!


    Such glory now belongs to the Second Provincial Hospital of Dongyang Province.


    A hospital ranked tenth in Anyang City is about to shine brightly in this competition.


    At this thought, Xiong Kangyu suddenly envied Qin Xiaoyuan!


    Suddenly, in this moment, Xiong Kangyu understood.


    He suddenly realized why Qin Xiaoyuan had placed such a bet, building the emergency department building and making Chen Cang the director.


    He was betting on Chen Cang!


    If Chen Cang really won the championship.


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡­


    would absolutely be a hero of Dongyang!


    In that moment, Xiong Kangyu took a deep breath.


    He couldn¡¯t help but utter an admiring ¡°Impressive.¡±


    The scene returned, and soon it was time for the repair of the vena cava.


    Xiong Kangyu explained, ¡°Look, the real essence of Chen Cang¡¯s surgery is here.


    He uses a three-segment technique, employing non-invasive hemostatic clamps in three steps, repairing the vena cava in stages, which is ingeniously done.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, without damaging the vena cava¡¯s natural shape and structure, he completes the surgery without obstruction, which is very difficult!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s clear that Chen Cang has an extreme command of this surgery!¡±


    ¡°Even everything is under control, from making the decision at the start, to the rapid suturing, to the clever repair of the vena cava, and finally to the closing tasks.


    Every step is exquisitely done!¡±


    Upon saying this, Xiong Kangyu summed up:


    ¡°Honestly, this surgery is fascinating but not classic, and not even worth learning.


    Just watch it for enjoyment; let¡¯s switch to another video.¡±


    His words left everyone dumbfounded!


    Li Wenbin nodded, ¡°Right, is it really fascinating?


    Like watching a sci-fi blockbuster of fascination!


    But then?


    Chen Cang¡¯s speed and finesse in vascular suturing are talents, as is his sensory management of venous structures.


    These are talents the average person can¡¯t learn.¡±


    ¡°So, the surgery is fascinating!¡±


    ¡°But not worth promoting and learning.


    Everyone¡­


    just enjoy watching!¡±


    It was then that people reacted.


    They couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Right!


    This is a classic case of:


    Mind: Hmm, it¡¯s actually this simple!


    I¡¯ve got it!


    Hands: No, you don¡¯t!


    Talent: The hands are right.


    The scene switched quickly, but all the viewers¡¯ minds were not focused on watching; they remained stuck in the shock of Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, unable to extricate themselves.


    Female viewers even closed their eyes, feeling the pair of hands that stitched blood vessels as quickly as a little motor, both fast and delicate, hard to let go.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this time, in the competition room, Chen Cang and the examiner fell into an awkward situation.


    The examiner had never imagined that the surgery could be completed so quickly.


    What to do with the remaining time?


    Exchange glances?


    ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    Chatting seems inappropriate¡­


    After all, it is a national competition.


    But not chatting and just zoning out is also awkward.


    Scoring¡­


    What score would be appropriate?


    They knew that any score given would be in vain, because if it¡¯s too high, it has to go through discussion by the organizing committee.


    Just stare blankly, then!


    So, several people stared at each other.


    Chen Cang sighed, wishing he had known it would be this awkward; he should have taken it slower¡­


    Now it¡¯s just boring.


    But¡­


    if he got the highest score, how many people could he PK off?


    How many awards would he get?


    Looking forward to it¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: The interruption this afternoon was really unavoidable, after all, humans are iron and food is steel, when mom calls you to eat, there is a sense of urgency.


    There¡¯s no interruption tonight, right¡­


    Starting now, the monthly ticket count on Qidian and QQ reading are separate, so I¡¯m asking for monthly tickets on both platforms, and we continue with six updates today!


    Last of all, thanks to ¡°Brother Da Wei¡± and ¡°Ya Zhi Yu¡± for their generous 10,000 rewards.


    Tomorrow I, the venerable author, will continue to add more updates.


    I hope everyone¡¯s enthusiasm for voting stays high, I will try to write more, update more, let¡¯s all support generously!

 Chapter 643 - Chapter 643 Chapter 643 Hes gone bald, and hes gotten stronger!

    ?Chapter 643: Chapter 643: He¡¯s gone bald, and he¡¯s gotten stronger!


    (Two-in-one mega chapter for monthly votes) Chapter 643: Chapter 643: He¡¯s gone bald, and he¡¯s gotten stronger!


    (Two-in-one mega chapter for monthly votes) At this moment, the chief examiner He Daejin suddenly thought that it was actually quite nice that the boy was good-looking!


    At leasta€| it was pleasant to look at each other!


    After watching each other for seven or eight minutes, they finally broke the silence.


    They chatted idly for a few minutes.


    And casually asked about some of Chen Cang¡¯s personal matters.


    After an awkward chat for ten minutes, the chief examiner was informed that the candidate could leave the examination room.


    He Daejin suddenly said with a smile, ¡°Young man, come by 301 sometime.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°Sure, thank you, Examiner.¡±


    After Chen Cang left, he felt somewhat shocked.


    Because He Daejin looked quite young, in her early forties, but when Chen Cang clicked the arrow above her head out of boredom, the system¡¯s prompt tone caught him off guard.


    [He Daejin: This is a chief thoracic surgeon dedicated to clinical work, skilled in many cardiac surgeries, and the director of cardiac surgery at 301 Hospital, a nationally renowned doctor.]


    Chen Cang realized that as his level increased, he could access more and more information.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    He could even see things like the other person¡¯s name, position, and areas of expertise.


    This was amazing!


    And to think that Director He, who looked in her forties, was already a nationally renowned doctor.


    Indeed, the capital city was not like Dongyang; it was a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.


    One after another, everyone gradually returned to their seats from the examination hall, and the next thing was to tally the scores.


    Tables began to appear on the big screen in accordance with seat numbers.


    ¡°Namea€¡±Scorea€¡±¡±


    After everyone sat down, they started to wait patiently.


    The spectators¡¯ area was in a bit of chaos at this time, with everyone discussing who would be the first place winner of this competition.


    There were just a few candidates!


    ¡°I think Chen Cang is definitely the first!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, he was faster than Sikong, if not first then what?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s true but, the judging criteria for surgery isn¡¯t speed, right?


    I think the judges will definitely take various aspects into account and give a more reasonable score, just like what the professors said just now, Chen Cang¡¯s surgery: brilliant but not classic, so there¡¯s still suspense in the competition results.¡±


    ¡­


    The discussions in the audience compounded the nervousness of the 200 candidates in the hall.


    Chen Cang glanced at the question mark above Guo Yunfei¡¯s head, which was a task prompt!


    He paused slightly, ¡°Doctor Guo, what¡¯s the matter?


    Are you nervous?¡±


    In fact, Guo Yunfei was not nervous at all.


    After all, as a veteran of many battles, if he got eliminated from this competition, it would be quite embarrassing.


    What he was nervous about was Meng Xi sitting next to him!


    For some reason, Guo Yunfei felt allergic to perfume, lipstick, in shorta€| to the enchantress beside him.


    As a result, he was flustered now, looking very nervous.


    Guo Yunfei sighed.


    He really wasn¡¯t good at dealing with pretty women; he had been socially awkward around girls since he was young.


    Though at work, he didn¡¯t get nervous, and dealing with patients was fine, but¡­


    encountering such situations in life always made him awkward.


    Seeing Guo Yunfei shake his head, Chen Cang became curious.


    He also noticed the strangeness of Guo Yunfei.


    Out of curiosity, Chen Cang clicked on Guo Yunfei¡¯s question mark.


    [An awkward Guo Yunfei is a bit flustered in the presence of a beautiful woman.


    Help him ease the embarrassment, receive +5 Favorability.]


    Seeing the prompt, Chen Cang was momentarily startled, and couldn¡¯t help laughing, ¡°Doctor Guo, I need to talk to Teacher Meng about something, let¡¯s switch seats.¡±


    Guo Yunfei immediately brightened up, ¡°Sure!¡±


    After the two swapped seats, Chen Cang received the system reward prompt.


    And it seemed that Guo Yunfei also relaxed quite a bit.


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang, ¡°How did you do on the exam?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head thoughtfully, speaking truthfully, ¡°Hard to say!


    I don¡¯t know what the judging criteria are, but advancing should be no problem.¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, ¡°And Doctor Guo?¡±


    Guo Yunfei nodded, ¡°I should have performed average, I suppose.¡±


    One by one, the scores began to be announced on the big screen, with more and more people¡¯s results coming out.


    Meng Xi¡¯s score was also announced, ¡°91 points.¡±


    And soon after, Guo Yunfei¡¯s score was revealed, ¡°93 points.¡±


    Gradually, more and more scores appeared, and Meng Xi suddenly became nervous because her score really didn¡¯t have any advantage, with most around 90 points.


    But there were only 12 contestants who could advance.


    One by one, the scores of the majority were announced.


    Meng Xi¡¯s eyes were glued to the big screen as she carefully reviewed them, calculating the scores of their group, the top twelve!


    She muttered something to herself.


    Finally!


    Their group¡¯s scores were all out, and Meng Xi ranked 11th, barely advancing!


    She finally breathed a sigh of relief!


    Guo Yunfei couldn¡¯t help but laugh, scoring 93 points, third in his group.


    Most scores were concentrated between 88 and 93 points.


    This was a hurdle.


    At this time, the person in the 12th position in Group A was panicking.


    After all, with only contestant 007¡¯s score yet to be announced in Group A, he was in 12th place and felt that¡­


    he still had a chance.


    The audience below was even more enthusiastic!


    ¡°Sikong: 97 points!


    Awesome!¡±


    ¡°Ding Yu isn¡¯t far behind: 96 points, it seems speed indeed isn¡¯t the only option.¡±


    ¡°Peng Lu is impressive!


    96 points, first in the group!¡±


    ¡°Huh?


    Chen Cang¡¯s score still hasn¡¯t been announced?¡±


    ¡°Right¡­¡±


    At this moment, the entire big screen turned white except for Chen Cang¡¯s spot, which remained black, conspicuously noticeable!


    Everyone was staring at the big screen, curious.


    Even the people around started turning their heads to look at Chen Cang¡¯s seat.


    Guo Yunfei was stunned, wondering why everyone was looking at him.


    Even the spectators in the stands were turning their heads to look at Chen Cang¡¯s seat, unable to see clearly, they zoomed in 20 times with their phones!


    But they could only see the top of a head!


    After seeing it, the crowd gasped in shock!


    ¡°Sss¡­


    indeed so strong!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right!


    Look at that bald patch, it¡¯s the mark of a powerhouse!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, amid the sparse hair, there¡¯s an aura of grandeur.¡±


    ¡°So strong!¡±


    Whereas the women sighed: ¡°Ah, time is a butcher¡¯s knife.


    Even our Chen Cang has lost his hair¡­¡±


    The man behind said: ¡°The photo must be photoshopped!¡±


    ¡°+1!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this time, in the office, the panel of experts fell silent after watching the video.


    Today¡¯s score was the most controversial.


    ¡°I still think that we shouldn¡¯t set such a video as a model to be emulated, as it isn¡¯t the optimal surgical method, not beneficial for publicity and teaching, but considering his surgical abilities and skills, my suggestion is 95 points,¡± one expert expressed.


    He Daejin frowned.


    Although she was the youngest, her status was in no way inferior to her seasoned colleagues.


    She spoke sharply, ¡°Director Yu, to be blunt, are you capable of performing such a repair?


    We are looking for excellence, for talent, not mediocrity!


    ?¦Ï???.?¦Ï


    It¡¯s no joke, I stand by the score I gave, 99 points!


    If it weren¡¯t for the controversy that would arise from a perfect score, I¡¯d have given him full marks, Director Yu!


    Can you find a reason to deduct points?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a question of whether I can do it or not, Director He.


    Indeed, I, Yu Zhiquiang, don¡¯t have such ability.


    I admit the young man is impressive, but¡­


    our competition is about conveying a message, and I don¡¯t believe this unrepresentative surgery should set a trend!¡±


    ¡°To be honest, I¡¯d rather give Peng Lu a high score than this Sikong or Chen Cang!¡±


    The judges¡¯ dispute continued for a long time without resolution, and indeed.


    Medical issues always entail academic disputes.


    These expert professors didn¡¯t know Chen Cang personally; there was no need to malign him intentionally.


    It was a matter of recognition of ideas and philosophies!


    ¡­


    The debate went on and on without resolution.


    At this time, the chief judge, Wu Tongpu, suddenly said, ¡°Let¡¯s all quiet down.


    I¡¯ve considered it carefully, and the final score is¡­


    100 points!


    Let¡¯s announce the score!¡±


    At his words, all the judges below were taken aback.


    Everyone felt as if there was a problem with their ears!


    The scorer was also stunned for a moment, wondering if they had heard wrong, ¡°Dean Wu¡­


    how many points?¡±


    Wu Tongpu firmly said, ¡°Full marks, 100 points, announce the scores.¡±


    The scorer was startled for a moment, then hurried to their feet.


    The chief judge has the final right to score, and the judging panel is only advisory.


    Generally speaking, the chief judge will carefully consider all the judges¡¯ opinions, and most of the time, it would be an average score.


    But where had they ever encountered such a situation!


    Wu Tongpu¡¯s words had everyone completely baffled!


    ¡°Dean Wu¡­


    isn¡¯t this score too high?¡±


    ¡°This¡­


    is it¡­


    inappropriate?¡±


    Several judges looked at each other, attempting to advise.


    Wu Tongpu shook his head, ¡°This surgery, in fact, I believe it¡¯s the one with the least side effects of all surgeries, the highest efficiency, and the smallest sequelae.


    It also has the highest cost-effectiveness.


    For the patient, this is the best surgery!


    Just for this reason alone, it deserves full marks.¡±


    Wu Tongpu¡¯s words silenced everyone.


    Right!


    They had all been looking at the surgery from the perspective of professors and experts, thinking about the skill, considering the difficulty of the operation, and the insurance of the surgery¡­


    and so on.


    They had overlooked one point.


    In the end, surgery is about being responsible to the patient.


    It should be viewed from the patient¡¯s perspective.


    After Wu Tongpu finished speaking, various specialist professors sat down to seriously reconsider the surgery.


    Using reasonable blood pressure to choose the most suitable surgical approach, taking into account surgical details, selecting surgical techniques that optimize reduction of sequelae, exquisite suturing skills, efficient suturing speed¡­


    Actually!


    They were the ones who set the question!


    And they were the judges.


    They were well aware of the risks associated with any surgical approach and the potential sequelae that might follow.


    Just as Wu Tongpu had said, it was a surgery that, for the patient, had minimal side effects, the highest cost-effectiveness, and the lowest rate of postoperative complications!


    Wu Tongpu smiled, ¡°Old Yu, don¡¯t be angry.


    Xiao He is right.


    This is a competition, not a lesson where we pick a paradigm or write a model essay for everyone to learn from!


    Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, I believe, is the best one, bringing the greatest benefit to the patient, and yet the most challenging for the operator!


    Similarly, if we look at it more broadly, it also saves medical resources and can be applied in various settings.¡±


    ¡°This surgical topic is inherently an emergency procedure.


    Do you think there will be a ventilator at the scene?


    An extracorporeal circulation machine?


    Cryogenic freezing techniques?


    All sorts of operations?¡±


    ¡°This patient, with this kind of wound, might have died before reaching the hospital!


    Could they have 100 blood pressure?¡±


    ¡°So, I think Chen Cang¡¯s surgery is the most appropriate for the situation.¡±


    Wu Tongpu couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    This made all the judges who had set the question blush with embarrassment.


    Wu Tongpu smiled, ¡°So, I can¡¯t find any points to deduct.


    I can only give 100 points.


    As judges, we shouldn¡¯t be stingy with high scores, nor hesitant to deduct points.


    If there¡¯s a mistake, deduct points; if it¡¯s good, give high scores!


    Everyone can rest easy; I¡¯ll write the report.¡±


    His words were strong and resolute!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Outside, the crowd saw the big screen light up!


    They erupted into excitement.


    ¡°Look quick, Chen Cang¡¯s score is finally out!¡±


    ¡°How many points?¡±


    Everyone was taken aback for a moment!


    They were dumbfounded!


    ¡°100 points!¡±


    ¡°Holy crap!


    That¡¯s insane, right?¡±


    ¡°Yeah!


    100 points¡­


    That¡¯s freaking awesome, definitely first place!¡±


    Everyone looking at this scene was dumbstruck.


    Not just the audience.


    Every participant in the competition was astounded.


    After all, such a score in a provincial contest might be forgivable, but in a national competition!


    Everyone stared incredulously at the score!


    Then they all turned around!


    Staring at Guo Yunfei, who was sitting in Chen Cang¡¯s place!


    Faces filled with fear.


    ¡°Damn¡­


    that hair!


    No wonder he¡¯s so strong!¡±


    ¡°So skilled!¡±


    ¡°He actually got 100 points!¡±


    ¡°Ah, I¡¯ve finally realized the gap between him and me¡­¡± sighed a person with a head full of hair.


    ¡°He¡¯s bald¡­


    and also strong!¡±


    ¡­


    Guo Yunfei was also stunned!


    Chen Cang actually got 100 points.


    However, he had been forewarned since Chen Cang had scored 100 points in the provincial competition, so this was acceptable.


    The only thing he was curious about was why everyone was staring at him!


    Guo Yunfei noticed that everyone was looking at him with fear and shock, as if they were looking at Chen Cang¡­


    The crowd realized that Guo Yunfei fit the posture of the strong even better.


    And Chen Cang, sitting there, was equally full of surprise!


    Holy cow!


    What a rush!


    [Ding!


    PK settlement in progress.


    Congratulations, you have received the highest score in the entire competition and obtained 99 lucky bags as a PK drop reward!]


    Chen Cang was bewildered!


    Were the rewards this generous?


    Chen Cang was overjoyed!


    He busied himself opening them!


    Found out he could open all of them!


    Awesome!


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, you have obtained: Experience +1000, Experience +2000¡­


    received a level 4 Skill Book, and received¡­]


    After the 99th notification ended.


    Chen Cang was taken aback.


    The quantity was more, but the quality really dropped¡­


    As expected, nothing cheap is good quality.


    To summarize the rewards:


    Leveled up by 1; received a level 4 Skill Book; gained +3 skill points; received +5 Appraisal Books;


    Not bad at all!


    [Ding!


    Congratulations on leveling up to level 40, reaching the level of an attending physician, opening level 4 surgery, and unlocking your third profession!]


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    Was I, Chen, finally going to break level 4!?


    Had the prosperous days finally arrived?


    The third profession was about to be unlocked!


    Level 4 surgery was to be mastered too!


    I, Chen Cang, haven¡¯t gone bald and I¡¯m still strong!

    PS: Two-in-one, two chapters in one, it feels more comfortable to read it together, and there are two more chapters in the afternoon!


    Keep it up!


    Thanks to ¡°Dreaming¡± for the 20,000 reward,


    Thanks to old friends ¡°Lighter than a Feather¡±, ¡°Summer¡¯s Faint Years¡±, and ¡°Pushing down Teacher Meng¡± for the 10,000 rewards!


    Updates continue in the afternoon, let¡¯s get going!

 Chapter 644 - Chapter 644 Chapter 644 How Can the Heart Be Hurt with Such Thick Defenses

    ?Chapter 644: Chapter 644: How Can the Heart Be Hurt with Such Thick Defenses?


    Chapter 644: Chapter 644: How Can the Heart Be Hurt with Such Thick Defenses?


    Watching the 99 lucky bags being opened, Chen Cang seemed to find that feeling of seeing his rich dorm mate doing ten consecutive draws in a game when he was in school!


    Yes, that was the posture, that was the swag!


    So cool!


    With that thought in mind, he even adjusted his own pose to look more like a tycoon, so casual and so elegant, with a touch of indifference to the past in his every move.


    Not to mention what he drew for the moment, the important thing was this feeling of opening prizes until his hand cramped, it was just too awesome!


    This happiness and exhilaration!


    It was 99 times as much!


    But the rewards were also quite satisfactory.


    Leveling up at a critical moment was a good thing for Chen Cang.


    Level 40 now.


    Chen Cang casually opened a Skill Book he had just obtained, and his face immediately lit up with joy.


    It was like getting a pillow when he wanted to sleep.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    After clicking on it, a purple light flashed, and a notification sound immediately followed:


    ¡°Ding!


    Congratulations on obtaining a Level 4 cardiac surgery: Ventricular Septal Defect Repair!


    Master level.¡±


    Huh?


    Nice!


    Just the other day, he had acquired the Cardiac Rupture Repair, and today he had received its sibling skill: Ventricular Septal Defect Repair!


    Both of these skills were emergency heart trauma surgeries, emergencies among emergencies!


    Much trickier than those big blood vessel ruptures causing massive hemorrhages, because at least in those cases, the heart was intact!


    But these two surgeries¡­


    they could directly be fatal.


    In ancient times, they were basically a death sentence.


    One can¡¯t help but marvel at the advancement of medical science.


    [¡°Identification Card,¡± the notification: ¡°Use it to identify the patient¡¯s disease attributes and type, obtaining detailed examination results and vital signs.¡±]


    Chen Cang was thrilled, wow!


    A tool to show off.


    Too bad the quantity was limited.


    As for changing professions, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t in a hurry, after all¡­


    what if the system opened up professions like Mage, Warrior, Saint Seiya, Iron Man, and Cultivator, he wanted to retain a possibility.


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang incredulously, ¡°Xiao Chen, tell the truth to your teacher, did you cheat?!¡±


    Chen Cang could only roll his eyes at Teacher Meng¡¯s wild imagination, shaking his head and sighing deeply.


    He looked earnestly at Meng Xi, ¡°Teacher Meng, how can you harbor thoughts of taking shortcuts every day?


    How have I always taught you?


    You should earnestly improve your professional skills, not harbor any illusions of luck.¡±


    ¡°Look at your scores, only 91 points¡­


    sigh!


    I¡¯m embarrassed to tell people you¡¯re my teacher!


    Teacher Meng, don¡¯t you feel ashamed when you say I¡¯m your student?


    It¡¯s so embarrassing, what have I been teaching you?


    Telling you to¡­¡±


    Meng Xi was stunned and then glared at Chen Cang indignantly, ¡°You dare to despise your mother¡¯s ugliness?


    What¡¯s that saying?


    A son won¡¯t find his mother ugly, a dog won¡¯t spurn a poor home, and yet you look down on your teacher?


    You unfilial student!¡±


    With that one sentence, Chen Cang was left speechless!


    It seemed there was indeed a bit of truth in it!


    Chen Cang wondered if he had been too cruel with his words and had hurt Teacher Meng¡¯s feelings, so he coughed and said, ¡°Teacher Meng, I was¡­


    just concerned about you, don¡¯t be mad!¡±


    Meng Xi responded with a casual smile, arms crossed in front of her chest, and squeezed even more!


    Seeing this, Guo Yunfei next door quickly turned his head away!


    Meng Xi said indifferently, ¡°Angry, of course not, such a trivial matter isn¡¯t worthy of being a breast nodules to someone like me!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and speechless!


    And Guo Yunfei was shocked as well.


    Chen Cang realized he had seriously underestimated Teacher Meng¡¯s defenses.


    How could she be so easily saddened?


    Thinking about it, with such a thick layer of defense on the outside of the heart, without enough attacking power¡­


    it was hard to even reach the heart!


    Chen Cang looked down and sighed, suddenly feeling that if patients in the thoracic surgery department were all like Teacher Meng, it didn¡¯t seem so bad after all.


    Meng Xi, uncontented, puffed up her leather jacket even more and pouted, ¡°Who taught you how to perform surgeries?


    Wasn¡¯t it me?


    Besides¡­


    we are teacher and student, so we should count the average score!


    Look¡­


    our average score is high, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°`


    Chen Cang was startled and found himself at a loss for words in the face of Meng Xi¡¯s sophistry!


    Forget it, forget it!


    Women!


    You¡¯re the boss, you call the shots, I won¡¯t argue with you on this.


    Chen Cang said helplessly, ¡°Alright, alright, I won¡¯t get angry with you.¡±


    Seeing Chen Cang like this, Meng Xi nudged his elbow and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to something delicious tonight!


    I¡¯ll have my family¡¯s chef cook for you!¡±


    Chen Cang raised an eyebrow, realizing that the chefs of wealthy households were the professional kind!


    Looking at Meng Xi playing cute, Chen Cang¡¯s frustration dissipated by seventy to eighty percent.


    Forget it!


    With a teacher like that, it¡¯s useless to be angry, even to death.


    May as well just give up and go all in.


    Meng Xi continued, ¡°Why don¡¯t you guess the questions for this afternoon¡¯s exam?


    I need to advance, after all.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback!


    He knew that Teacher Meng was no ordinary person, offering him benefits surely came with strings attached.


    However, he still had a mission to fulfill, to help Teacher Meng advance, although the possibility was low, but¡­


    it was worth a try.


    Meng Xi said, ¡°I¡¯ve summarized the exam questions from the past ten years and found a pattern.


    The second round of exams, although random, is about the arrangement of surgical procedures.


    Basically¡­


    it considers a student¡¯s innovation and the combination of surgical skills.


    I have dozens of common tactics here!


    Tell me, do you have any good ideas or thoughts?


    I saw your ¡®two ropes, one tube¡¯ method the other day and it seemed quite good, very much in line with the competition¡¯s requirements!¡±


    As she spoke, Meng Xi pulled out a large sheet of paper from her pocket and unfolded it.


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded!


    It was all about various surgical situations one might encounter in major vascular surgery!


    And¡­


    these diagrams were exquisite!


    Did Meng Xi do this herself?


    How much effort and time must that have taken?


    Chen Cang was a bit lost and stared at Meng Xi with wide eyes: ¡°Teacher Meng!


    Did¡­


    did¡­


    did you do this?¡±


    Meng Xi shrugged and shook her head, ¡°Of course not!


    After collating questions from past competitions and consulting a wealth of materials, I realized that thoracic major vascular surgeries are essentially these types of injuries.


    I had a designer from my mother¡¯s company work overtime to make these for me, but¡­


    they did a pretty good job, right?¡±


    Chen Cang finally understood what Teacher Meng was banking on to advance!


    She was totally relying on superpowers!


    With this drawing ability and resources found online, to create so many disease categories in one night, Chen Cang suddenly felt, what¡¯s wrong with being rich?


    Though he did feel sorry for the programmers who had to work overtime!


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang with eager eyes and seductively said, ¡°Come on, Chen, share your prized secret tricks with me so that I can also be well-prepared.


    When the time comes, I won¡¯t forget to do you a favor!¡±


    Chen Cang was not fooled by this, as he was immune to Teacher Meng¡¯s temptations!


    Nevertheless, he nodded, ¡°Just a moment, the leader is still talking.¡±


    Guo Yunfei looked at these two teacher and student and thought of Qin Yueming, suddenly feeling somewhat envious!


    Envious of Chen Cang having such a teacher!


    Pretty and obedient, and importantly, a wealthy woman.


    Pleasing to look at!


    Able to guide and train academically!


    Financially capable of enjoying the finer things in life!


    Ah!


    Envy¡­


    When will I have such a teacher!


    It was already around half-past eleven, and an operation wasn¡¯t a short affair.


    Once all the results were published, it was time to announce the list of those advancing.


    Now it was truly a case of some rejoicing and others lamenting!


    And the most aggrieved of all was the person who was previously twelfth in Group Aa€¡±oh!


    Now they were thirteenth.


    They looked at Guo Yunfei with a face full of resentment¡­

 Chapter 645 - Chapter 645 Chapter 645 Cant Drive Them Away!

    ?Chapter 645: Chapter 645: Can¡¯t Drive Them Away!


    Chapter 645: Chapter 645: Can¡¯t Drive Them Away!


    Wu Tongpu, as one of the main persons responsible for this examination, stood on the stage, looked at the crowd, and spoke with satisfaction.


    ¡°Respected colleagues, hello, I won¡¯t play the old man¡¯s card here, just a few thoughts about today!¡±


    ¡°My biggest feeling today is everyone¡¯s efforts and progress!¡±


    ¡°I saw many familiar faces.


    You are stronger than last year!¡±


    ¡°I also saw a lot of new blood.


    Your joining makes us even more prosperous!¡±


    As these words were said, applause suddenly erupted from below the stage.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t recognize Wu Tongpu, but looking around at the thunderous applause, it seemed he was a highly respected person.


    Chen Cang asked in a soft voice, ¡°Who is this?¡±


    Guo Yunfei didn¡¯t speak, but first gave a thumbs up!


    ¡°This is a big name!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    Dean Wu is proficient in a variety of surgical procedures and has won numerous international awards.


    He is none other than Academician Wu Tongpu!¡±


    Chen Cang was suddenly startled.


    This was Wu Tongpu?


    He was very familiar with the name, but this was his first meeting!


    When he came to the capital for an internship, although he had never met him, he often heard the name.


    After a moment, Wu Tongpu continued, ¡°Competition must look like a competition, but being eliminated does not mean you are not excellent.¡±


    ¡°The list of those advancing has come out.


    I hope everyone will not be discouraged, and certainly not arrogant!¡±


    ¡°Being eliminated means you still have plenty of room for improvement.¡±


    ¡°And to every one of you who advanced, what I want to tell you is that the burden on your shoulders won¡¯t be light, it will only get heavier.¡±


    At this point, Wu Tongpu slowed down his tone, casually chatting with a smile, ¡°Sometimes I also don¡¯t want to study medicine because I think I¡¯m just an ordinary person.


    I study medicine because I want a secure job, something that¡¯s guaranteed in drought and flood alike.


    My grandfather was a barefoot doctor; he told me, ¡®Doctors won¡¯t starve!


    The house is always full of biscuits and cakes given by patients.¡¯


    Some say doctors are honorable, heroic?


    I have no desire to be any hero!


    I also have family affections.


    I have my own life.


    Why should I contribute to others?


    I¡¯m not indebted to you!¡±


    ¡°My teacher also told me a saying, ¡®What heroes are there in this world?


    They¡¯re just a bunch of kids dressing up in those white coats, imitating their predecessors, and healing the sick, that¡¯s all!''¡±


    At this point, the tone shifted!


    Wu Tongpu spoke firmly, ¡°But, life always has a way of making decisions for you.


    Once we put on these white coats, we must be like soldiers, guarding the well-being of our people, and in return, we must give back peace of mind to the people!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Whether you came here to compete or to watch, you are all doctors or future doctors.


    What I want to tell you is that it¡¯s not just your own honor you carry, but the lives and health of the people.¡±


    ¡°I want to thank you all here, thank every medical worker, thank you for practicing medicine!¡±


    ¡°Thank you for knowing full well this is a path of no return, yet still choosing to forge ahead!¡±


    ¡°Thank you for knowing you must go against the tide in the face of disaster, yet never leaving!¡±


    ¡°Thank you for knowing you have elders and children at home, yet never abandoning your post!¡±


    ¡°Thank you for knowing not when you might return, yet never retreating!¡±


    ¡­


    Each sentence sent waves of fervent passion through everyone present; Chen Cang felt an emotion in his chest that he couldn¡¯t vent, and for some reason, he felt a twinge in his nose.


    At that moment, everyone present looked up quietly and solemnly, their eyes filled with determination!


    Sensing the tense atmosphere, Wu Tongpu laughed and made a joke, ¡°Heh, what about you guys, so stubborn, insisting on studying medicine!


    People say, ¡®Dissuade others from medicine, and thunder will strike,¡¯ yet you still study medicine, heh.¡±


    Suddenly, someone from below yelled out, ¡°It¡¯s the stubbornness, that¡¯s why we have to study medicine!


    Can¡¯t chase us away that easily!¡±


    Wu Tongpu suddenly smiled, and loudly asked, ¡°Can¡¯t be chased away?


    Right?¡±


    Below, it was instantly like a pot exploding!


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t be chased away!¡±


    ¡°No turning back!¡±


    ¡°Stick to this one path to the end!¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t chase us away!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The conference hall erupted with a thunderous voice, all attendees emotionally charged as they shouted aloud.


    After a moment, Wu Tongpu spoke with a smile, ¡°Alright, following the meeting agenda, please allow me to lead everyone in reciting the oath once more!¡±


    The host was also somewhat excited and spoke loudly, ¡°All stand to attention, rise!¡±


    Wu Tongpu spoke loudly, ¡°Health at stake, lives entrusted!¡±


    Everyone stood up and shouted, ¡°Health at stake, lives entrusted!¡±


    Wu Tongpu, ¡°At the moment I enter the sacred halls of medical academia, I solemnly swear!¡±


    Chen Cang was somewhat excited, feeling his body trembling slightly.


    This was the first time he felt the sense of sanctity and mission his profession bestowed upon him!


    ??¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    He had taken oaths at university too!


    But back then, he was still naive and clueless, not understanding what his oath represented.


    Three years of clinical experience had taught him the significance of his profession.


    ¡°At the moment I enter the sacred halls of medical academia, I solemnly swear!


    I commit myself to medicine, love my motherland, remain loyal to the people, uphold medical ethics, respect teachers and disciplines, study diligently, tirelessly, strive for perfection, and develop comprehensively.


    I am determined to exert all my efforts to alleviate human suffering, assist in perfecting health, uphold the sanctity and honor of medical practice, rescue the dying and heal the wounded, not shirk from hardship, pursue persistently, and struggle lifelong for the advancement of the nation¡¯s medical and health services and the physical and mental health of humanity.¡±


    ¡­


    Each sentence was spoken with passionate fervor!


    After Wu Tongpu finished speaking, he bowed to the crowd and said slowly, ¡°We are getting old, but you are still young,


    My colleagues, for the rest of our lives, please give us your guidance!¡±


    At this moment, many female attendees could no longer hold back their tears, which streamed down their faces.


    Even the competitors who often participated in competitions stood solemn and respectful at this time.


    Guo Yunfei turned to Chen Cang and whispered, ¡°This is why many people insist on participating in the national competition even though they know they¡¯ll be eliminated in the first round.¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned.


    Looking at everyone present, his eyes showed only admiration, without a hint of disdain.


    Perhaps¡­every person here deserved respect.


    Not because they were exceptionally talented or skilled, but because of their stubborn tenacity that could not be driven away!


    Leaders took turns going on stage and said a few words one after another.


    They encouraged everyone wholeheartedly.


    Finally, Wu Tongpu said with a smile, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve checked the time, and it¡¯s getting late.


    You must all be hungry.


    We had a bigger budget this year, so we asked the hotel to prepare some good food.


    Hurry up and have lunch, the competition continues in the afternoon.¡±


    The crowd immediately laughed.


    Chen Cang looked at Wu Tongpu, and his first impression of him was that this was an interesting person!


    Chen Cang was about to stand up, but Meng Xi held him back, ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    Chen Cang was puzzled, ¡°To eat?¡±


    Meng Xi squinted and said, ¡°Eat what?


    Come with me to do something big, and tonight, Teacher Meng will treat you to a feast!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: I didn¡¯t want to write those sentimental words in this chapter, but I couldn¡¯t hold back and wrote a bit, shamefully shedding a few tears myself.


    Ah!


    To be honest, I¡¯ve been holding it in for a while.


    Lately, watching the medical staff heading to Wuhan in the face of the outbreak, I am overwhelmed with emotions, feeling restless and wishing I could go too.


    One of my senior colleagues went, one of my teaching doctors went, two of my classmates went, and two young nurse sisters I know went as well.


    Here¡¯s to them: Take care!

 Chapter 646 - Chapter 646 Chapter 646 Hahaha, I knew you guys got the wrong person!

    ?Chapter 646: Chapter 646: Hahaha, I knew you guys got the wrong person!


    Chapter 646: Chapter 646: Hahaha, I knew you guys got the wrong person!


    Hearing Meng¡¯s words, Chen Cang looked up at Teacher Meng!


    ¡°Teacher Meng, you¡¯re my teacher,¡± Chen Cang sighed and decided to wake this delusional woman up.


    Meng Xi was taken aback and said with wide eyes, ¡°Right, I¡¯m your teacher, so¡­


    shouldn¡¯t you listen to me?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was bewildered?


    It did seem to make sense!


    But¡­


    Meng Xi grabbed Chen Cang and started walking out, ¡°Come on, come on, to my room, I have a single!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    My room¡­


    feed you¡­


    Why do these phrases put together feel so weird!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã?


    Meng Xi took Chen Cang to the elevator, after swiping her card, they went straight to the 51st floor.


    As the room door opened, Chen Cang was stunned!


    ¡°Damn, why is my room a standard room and yours is¡­


    such a big suite?¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the huge luxury suite, disbelief filling his eyes.


    Meng Xi said matter-of-factly, ¡°I made a phone call and found out I could upgrade the room at my own expense.


    But upon checking, the small suites and executive suites were all taken, so I booked the presidential suite.¡±


    Chen Cang, after hearing this, shook his head suddenly.


    It¡¯s really nice to be rich!


    Chen Cang looked at Meng Xi squarely, ¡°Teacher Meng, it¡¯s such a pity you like women, or else¡­


    us men could have saved ourselves a few hundred years of striving.¡±


    Meng Xi smiled seductively, looking at Chen Cang and raised her eyebrows, ¡°I heard you have a younger brother who¡¯s even more handsome than you?¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face changed instantaneously, ¡°Teacher Meng, don¡¯t graze near the burrow, my brother is still young!¡±


    Meng Xi laughed gleefully, ¡°Mm, I know your brother is young!¡±


    ¡°Just now as I passed by, I also heard them discussing how Chen Cang is both fast and thorough, though I don¡¯t know how they knew that!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s face turned ashen!


    A man can be killed but not insulted!


    How could I, Chen someone, bear such a shame!?


    But upon thinking of how wealthy Teacher Meng was, Chen Cang decided to endure it!


    Sigh¡­


    Teacher Meng, she doesn¡¯t even treat me as a student.


    Forget it, kids say the darndest things, kids say the darndest things.


    I¡¯ll forgive her.


    Actually, Meng Xi and Chen Cang were getting along more and more openly now, totally like friends, no¡­


    like besties!


    Meng Xi smiled, entered the room and took off her leather jacket, hanging it on the rack, revealing a figure-hugging cashmere sweater.


    Meng Xi gave Chen Cang a secretive smile, ¡°Hurry up, hurry up, it¡¯s almost twelve now, it starts at two-thirty in the afternoon, there¡¯s only a little over two hours left, I don¡¯t know if there will be enough time!¡±


    Chen Cang was bemused!


    Call me to the room, and upon entering, you start undressing, then tell me we only have a little over two hours¡­


    This is clearly¡­


    But!


    You¡¯re way out of line!


    Two hours!


    What a brazen claim.


    Chen Cang hurriedly refused.


    ¡°Teacher Meng, I¡¯m not that kind of man!¡±


    Meng Xi, not caring whether it was right or wrong, dragged Chen Cang to the left.


    Chen Cang¡¯s face changed, ¡°Teacher Meng, the bedroom is to the right!¡±


    Meng Xi paused for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Cang, ¡°The bedroom?


    What do you want to do there?¡±


    After saying that, she pulled Chen Cang straight to the coffee table in the living room, reached out, and took out that large paper from the morning!


    Her big eyes seemed to speak as she stared at Chen Cang, ¡°Come on, Chen, give me a talk about your private work!


    Pass on your top-secret skills, we¡¯ve got a tight schedule, a heavy task, only two hours left!¡±


    ¡°Look, I¡¯ve summarized it, these are the surgeries, I know the traditional surgical procedures for these surgeries, but for some special wound treatments, I don¡¯t have particularly good methods either, you help me think of ideas, provide some good methods.¡±


    Chen Cang helplessly replied, ¡°I¡¯m still hungry though!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi slapped the table in fury, her righteous indignation flaring, ¡°I¡¯m about to be eliminated, and all you can think of is eating?


    Can you even swallow your food?¡±


    ¡°Think about it, if I get eliminated, how shameful would that be for you?


    The teacher loses face, does the disciple have any glory?


    We¡¯re in the same boat!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, is that something you say?


    Usually, it¡¯s the disciple losing that shames the teacher, how come¡­


    it¡¯s the other way around?


    ¡°Besides, Chen, tell me the truth, how have I treated you?¡± Meng Xi continued to press.


    Chen Cang spoke candidly, ¡°Not so well!¡±


    Hearing that, Meng Xi got so angered that her mammary nodules flared, ¡°Ia€| Ia€|¡±


    Chen Cang was very aware of the situation, lowering his head as he said, ¡°Teacher Meng, look, the first operation, it was actually just a common ascending aorta damage that led to a sudden dissection.


    With such injuries, the most crucial part of the surgery is usually handling the main embolus, which is the key to the operation.¡±


    ¡°The core element is how to properly deal with the embolus issue, um, you see¡­¡±


    Meng Xi, seeing this, couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry, and he began to look it over.


    In the span of two hours, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t possibly cover everything!


    Meng Xi pinpointed more than twenty possible surgeries.


    Actually!


    This was what was called betting on the test questions!


    It was time to see if he would bet on the right questions.


    There was no way around it, his ability was limited, so he had to cram at the last minute.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the meantime, Guo Yunfei went to eat alone in the canteen, but he found it more comfortable to eat by himself compared to eating with Meng Xi.


    In a good mood, he had quite a few hearty dishes, eating several more pieces of meat!


    But he noticed something very odd, why¡­


    every time he picked up food, the people around him always let him do so with a smile!


    That¡¯s right, there was only one piece of steak left.


    The person in front of him looked at him, smiled and said, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, you eat first!


    Good luck this afternoon!


    Looking forward to your performance!¡±


    This kind of scene happened more than once, which left Guo Yunfei dumbfounded.


    Could it be¡­


    did I remember my own name wrong?


    Am I actually a Chen???


    No, that¡¯s not right!


    My name is Guo Yunfei!


    But why is everyone calling me Dr.


    Chen?


    Guo Yunfei was completely confused.


    Even while eating, a group of people around him were pointing and smiling kindly at Guo Yunfei.


    The braver ones came over to greet him, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, your surgery this morning was amazing, it was an eye-opener for us!¡±


    He could accept these!


    But the female students and postgraduates especially came over one after another, looking at Guo Yunfei with smiles and saying:


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen, you¡¯re really fast!¡±


    ¡°Right!


    Way too fast!¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve never seen a cardiothoracic surgeon who¡¯s both faster and more meticulous than you!¡±


    ¡°Does Dr.


    Chen have someone special?¡±


    ¡­


    The already socially awkward Guo Yunfei was completely stunned and made a hasty retreat!


    He left the giggling female students behind.


    After Guo Yunfei left, he felt a pang of panic!


    This was terrifying!


    How did these women know so much?


    I¡¯m wearing trousers, thermals, long johns, and underwear¡­


    Could they see all that?


    This was just too scary!


    Thinking of this, Guo Yunfei¡¯s face turned red with shame, feeling a wave of panic!


    Coming out of the building and standing outside, Guo Yunfei sighed!


    Today¡¯s wind was incredibly noisy!


    At that moment, he took out his phone intending to call his wife and question how his secret had gotten out!


    Suddenly, he felt someone pat him on the back.


    He turned around to see Ding Yu smiling, ¡°Old Guo, what are you doing?¡±


    Guo Yunfei was startled!


    Then it dawned on him, and he held back a hearty laugh.


    That¡¯s right!


    They were talking about Dr.


    Chen, and I am Dr.


    Guo; they must have mistaken me for someone else.


    Definitely!


    Nobody could possibly know my secret!


    Ha ha ha ha¡­

 Chapter 647 - Chapter 647 Chapter 647 The Little Cow Goes to Heaven!

    ?Chapter 647: Chapter 647: The Little Cow Goes to Heaven!


    Chapter 647: Chapter 647: The Little Cow Goes to Heaven!


    The competition began in the afternoon!


    Everyone was brimming with confidence!


    Guo Yunfei was especially full of confidence, sitting in Chen Cang¡¯s seat and enjoying the admiring gazes from the strangers around him.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but yawn!


    A bit sleepy, huh.


    Yet Meng Xi was still persistently requesting Chen Cang to discuss the topic.


    The upcoming matches wouldn¡¯t involve drawing lots but rather direct face-offs within the same group based on assigned numbers!


    It was all arranged.


    The afternoon¡¯s competition still revolved around the same question, which was also for the sake of unified management.


    Because the national competition¡¯s difficulty level was much higher than the provincial competition, the questions were carefully designed by a panel of experts and were representative.


    When the time came, the crowd rose to their feet!


    Applause erupted from the audience.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.?¦Ï


    Guo Yunfei was in great form today, relieved that his secret had not been disclosed.


    The surgery officially began!


    And those who were eliminated sat in their seats to watch as the audience.


    The host looked at Professors Li Wenbin, Xiong Kangyu, and Yang Guangdong.


    ¡°This afternoon, we still have our three experts to provide us with exciting commentary of the matches.¡±


    ¡°The second round is a head-to-head format, which makes the competition much more entertaining; to be honest, I can barely wait.¡±


    ¡°After all, with two surgeries appearing on the big screen and going head to head, we can see everything clear as day.¡±


    ¡°The upcoming matches might be extremely intense, so let¡¯s wait and see!¡±


    After finishing, the host picked up the remote control, ¡°Directors, are you ready?


    We will start loading the videos randomly right now.¡±


    Li Wenbin and others smiled and nodded, ¡°We¡¯re ready, let¡¯s start.¡±


    At this moment, the surgery had just begun, and through the camera, one could see the state of the thoracic cavity and make judgments about the disease!


    It must be said that experienced directors like Li Wenbin had plenty of experience; after seeing the wound, it didn¡¯t take long for them to have a grasp on the situation.


    After pondering for a moment, Yang Guangdong nodded and smiled, ¡°The questions this year are quite interesting.


    To tell you the truth, this surgery even makes me a bit eager to try!¡±


    Li Wenbin nodded, ¡°Indeed, a ruptured thoracic aorta with a severe arterial dissectiona€¡±this surgery looks simple, but actually, the difficulty is quite high.


    Take a look at this.¡±


    ¡°The thoracic aorta, as an important component of the descending aorta, involves adhesive separation with the trachea and esophagus.


    This is not an acute hemorrhage surgery, but it is a tricky one!¡±


    ¡°Everyone look, long-term adhesion can cause the trachea, esophagus, and thoracic aorta to stick together, but the aorta itself already has chronic damage, and here, the aortic dissection is clear!¡±


    ¡°This surgery has several difficulties.


    The first is adhesive separation, the second is treating the thoracic aorta¡¯s trauma, and the third is managing the aortic dissection!¡±


    Xiong Kangyu frowned and suddenly said, ¡°Actually, behind these three aspects, there lies an even more critical issue, and that is the management of emboli!¡±


    ¡°Look, because both injury and adhesion are present, accompanied by aortic dissection, there is thrombus formation within the dissection, and we must prevent the thrombus from breaking lose, otherwise it could lead to critical body artery embolism!¡±


    After these words were spoken, suddenly everyone started thinking!


    If they were faced with this surgery, how would they choose to proceed?


    The difficulty seemed quite significant!


    Immediately, the audience went silent.


    At this time, the host began to switch screens, looking at the tense competition and said, ¡°Directors, who do you think will win in this head-to-head match?¡±


    Li Wenbin spoke directly, ¡°It¡¯s still not clear at this point.


    The competition is tense.


    After all, by now, every contestant¡¯s level is very high; it¡¯s all about the details now.¡±


    Yang Guangdong nodded, ¡°Indeed, for this surgery, to be impressive, there are several key pointsa€¡±the first is the handling of surgical details, like thrombus management, the second is the surgical technique itself.¡±


    The first surgery was so intense, difficult to tell apart!


    Though thrilling, it lacked comparability.


    And quickly the screen was switched!


    After the switch, this time, there were significant differences between the two surgeries!


    Because the surgical techniques were not the same!


    Li Wenbin pointed at the screen and said, ¡°Both contestants have completed the separation.


    Next up is the most important part, treating the aortic dissectiona€¡±it¡¯s the key point of the surgery!


    Let¡¯s see how the two contestants handle it!¡±


    ¡°The contestant on the left has chosen the typical ¡®elephant trunk¡¯ procedure, which is widely applicable.


    Generally speaking, whether it¡¯s an acute or chronic Type I dissection, the ¡®elephant trunk¡¯ procedure can be used during the replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic arch!¡±


    ¡°`


    However, the latest research indicates that, in chronic descending aortic dissection, when employing the ¡°elephant trunk¡± technique, it¡¯s critical to prevent insufficient blood supply to the left renal artery caused by occlusion of the entry, leading to acute renal failure after sealing the intimal tear in the descending aorta.


    Let¡¯s see if this contestant did just that!¡±


    Li Wenbin moved the view downwards and immediately burst into laughter, ¡°Hmm!


    A very beautiful surgery, it seems our contestant is quite excellent.¡±


    Xiong Dailin suddenly furrowed her brows and pointed at the screen on the right, ¡°Actually¡­


    the contestant on the right is even more excellent!


    Professor Yang, Professor Li, take a look at the method she¡¯s using!¡±


    Both turned their attention to the screen, and after a minute, they were both stunned!


    Li Wenbin curiously remarked, ¡°Is this also the elephant trunk technique?


    It doesn¡¯t look much different from the left one.¡±


    Yang Guangdong suddenly said, ¡°Director Li, look at the wound site!¡±


    Li Wenbin took a closer look and his eyes widened, ¡°Is this¡­


    ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    the ¡®Sandwich technique¡¯?


    My goodness, to think of using the ¡®Sandwich¡¯ method to handle the anastomosis, that¡¯s simply genius!¡±


    Xiong Kangyu nodded, ¡°Exactly, the Sandwich technique might be the most appropriate and effective method at present!


    First, it prevents postoperative bleeding at the anastomosis site, and second, it can effectively reduce the risk of new false lumen entry caused by intimal tears at the anastomosis!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s clear that this candidate has considered this!¡±


    Li Wenbin couldn¡¯t help but laugh and shake his head, ¡°Ah, the thought process is very comprehensive indeed, even I didn¡¯t think of it, to actually use the Sandwich technique here!¡±


    ¡°Who is this contestant?


    And¡­


    I¡¯m very curious as to who could have thought of this now?¡±


    The host smiled and opened the information for the contestant on the right.


    ¡°Contestant number 38 of Group D: Meng Xi!


    30 years old, graduated from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, PhD, master¡¯s supervisor.


    Workplace: The First Affiliated Hospital of Dongyang Medical University;


    Position: Director of Cardiothoracic Surgery.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s switch perspectives and see who else there is?¡±


    After finishing, everyone nodded.


    After the screen changed.


    ¡°Nope!¡±


    ¡°Also not here!¡±


    ¡°Still no!¡±


    Li Wenbin smiled, ¡°Perhaps we¡¯re expecting too much from the contestants.


    It¡¯s quite rare to apply the Sandwich method; even I didn¡¯t think of it.¡±


    Just at that moment, another one appeared on the screen!


    Xiong Kangyu quickly said, ¡°The contestant on the left has just shown up, who is this?¡±


    ¡°A-007, Chen Cang!¡±


    Everybody was suddenly taken aback!


    ¡°Chen Cang again?¡±


    ¡°How could Chen Cang be so formidable?¡±


    At this time, Xiong Kangyu looked around and suddenly sighed, ¡°I have a piece of gossip here, does anyone want to hear it?¡±


    Upon hearing the word gossip, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Xiong Kangyu started to speak with a smile, ¡°This Meng Xi, she¡¯s Chen Cang¡¯s master¡¯s supervisor!¡±


    As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!


    If Chen Cang is that awesome, how incredible must his mentor be?


    Is the cow about to take flight?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Hehe, we have another Alliance Hierarch, how exciting!


    Thanks to ¡°Poison Poison i¡± for the 110,000 reward, adding another Alliance Hierarch to the book!


    I also want to thank Alliance Hierarchs ¡°Sakura Ah Little Sakura¡±, ¡°AlovE¡±, ¡°Bean Ding Egg¡±, ¡°Forgotten Love¡±, and ¡°I¡¯ll Feed You¡± for their generous 10,000 reward each!


    We¡¯ll continue our strong showing tomorrow!


    Fellows, you¡¯re awesome, the cow has taken to the skies!


    The ¡°elephant trunk¡± technique and ¡°Sandwich¡± method are real.


    In fact, all the surgeries, including the techniques, are based on research, and I even watched surgical videos, so feel free to use these terms confidently to show off!


    ¡°`

 Chapter 648 - Chapter 648 Chapter 648 Hahaha, hahaha, everyones face is filled with smiles!

    ?Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Hahaha, hahaha, everyone¡¯s face is filled with smiles!


    Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Hahaha, hahaha, everyone¡¯s face is filled with smiles!


    Actually, the ¡°sandwich¡± technique is key in handling the anastomosis site to ensure the stability of the surgery!


    However, this technique is not normally used in surgeries for chest aortic adhesions combined with aortic dissection.


    The most crucial point is right here!


    So much so that the three experts on stage, whether it was Li Wenbin, Yang Guangdong, or even Xiong Kangyu, had not thought of this!


    Surgery is actually like solving a very difficult math problem!


    Sometimes, deriving the solution to the problem takes a process.


    There is only a standard answer, but no standard process!


    One might even say that all roads lead to Rome.


    The ¡°sandwich¡± technique used here by Chen Cang and Meng Xi is like a spur-of-the-moment idea, or even an innovative formula, to solve the problem!


    And even makes the answer more precise!


    But, surgery, unlike math problems, has a very important differencea€¡±that is the most appropriate treatment for the patient!


    Because there are many sequelae after body surgery, when it comes to surgical outcomes, there is no best, only better!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    The use of the sandwich technique here is definitely a significant highlight!


    Because of the severe adhesion, after separation, there is a rupture in the chest aorta itself, and during anastomosis, if this technique is used, it can completely avoid unnecessary bleeding, and even the formation of thrombus!


    Next, it also avoids secondary aortic dissection, preventing future problems!


    So, after hearing the explanations from several experts, the crowd below began to buzz with excitement.


    ¡°What is the sandwich technique?¡±


    ¡°This idea is really¡­


    brilliant!¡±


    ¡°Right, who would think of using the sandwich in aortic dissection surgery.¡±


    ¡°Wait!


    Senior brother, isn¡¯t a sandwich something to eat?¡± a chubby medical student tentatively asked.


    The senior brother beside him broke out in sweat and hurriedly began to explain.


    To those who don¡¯t understand, this might seem trivial!


    But only after understanding it does one realize how terrifying the implications are!


    This kind of thinking is really comprehensive.


    One truly has to consider all aspects.


    A few minutes later, when the surrounding people understood, they immediately burst into lively discussion.


    Everyone imagined Chen Cang tirelessly performing surgeries day and night, engrossed in research, his hair thinning, his hairline receding¡­


    and suddenly felt that, actually¡­


    balding can be a kind of aesthetic!


    A different kind of beauty!


    Thinking this, people couldn¡¯t help but shake their heads.


    Xiong Kangyu continued speaking: ¡°In fact, Chen Cang is still a graduate student, and his mentor is Director Meng Xi.¡±


    ¡°In the entire surgery, only these two used the sandwich technique, which truly shows that the art has been passed down in the lineage!¡±


    Li Wenbin nodded and said, ¡°Hmm, no wonder Chen Cang has such superb skills and impressive surgical technique; after all, his teacher is outstanding.¡±


    ¡°To think of using the sandwich technique for wound treatment, ingeniously combining the elephant¡¯s trunk with the sandwich, such creative genius is rare indeed.


    Although Director Meng seems young, her capabilities are significant!


    I¡¯ve learned a lot today.¡±


    Yang Guangdong led the way, ¡°Hmm, it really has broadened our horizons.


    In fact, this surgery has opened up how we should choose, explore, and optimize surgery in the future!¡±


    At this time!


    The host suddenly said curiously, ¡°I just looked at Director Meng Xi¡¯s detailed profile, and honestly, it made me feel envious and ashamed.


    Now, I¡¯ll reveal it for everyone to see.¡±


    As the image changed, the big screen suddenly showed a tall woman with a curvaceous, breathtaking figure, and alongside the image was text.


    However!


    Noticeably, the beasts had forgotten all about the text.


    The male counterparts below suddenly exploded!


    They began to catcall!


    ¡°Wow¡­¡±


    ¡°How could we not be envious?¡±


    ¡°Ashamed!


    So ashamed!


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.?0


    I¡¯m inferior!¡±


    ¡°Right, with such a size difference, I¡¯d be envious, and I¡¯d be ashamed too!!¡±


    ¡°The gap¡­


    it¡¯s just too¡­


    too beautiful!¡±


    ¡°I remember now, it¡¯s that leather-clad goddess!


    Stunningly explosive in looks!¡±


    Hearing the commotion from below, the host was startled.


    Could it be the wrong slide was shown?


    Turning to look, no, it wasn¡¯t?


    Meng Xi¡¯s profile appeared on the screen, with her educational background, publications, and academic achievements.


    It was correct?


    But when she turned to see the photo of Meng Xi, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise!


    Suddenly, she got it!


    Suddenly, infuriated with embarrassment!


    She looked down at the underwhelming Wangzai and muttered sourly, ¡°Wangzai has both the little steamed buns and Wangzai milk, what¡¯s with Wangzai!¡±


    Wangzai is pretty good, okay!


    But inside, so sour!


    Such a lemon!


    Thinking this, she casually swapped out the photo for Chen Cang!


    The audience below exploded!


    ¡°Give us back Meng Xi!¡±


    ¡°Exactly¡­


    bring back Director Meng!¡±


    ¡°We don¡¯t want Wangzai, we want Wahaha!¡±


    ¡°Yes, we want AD calcium milk!¡±


    However, the female viewers were not pleased.


    ¡°We want to watch Chen Cang!¡±


    ¡°Who cares about Director Meng!¡±


    ¡°Right, what¡¯s so good about that, it¡¯s all just knots, what¡¯s there to see!¡±


    a€|


    Looking at the lively scene below,


    a few old professors chuckled, such a lively competition like this was a first!


    The host couldn¡¯t help but sigh, turning such a rigorous competition into a concert.


    Li Wenbin interrupted everyone¡¯s discussion, ¡°I¡¯m suddenly looking forward to Director Meng¡¯s performance even more now, this mentor-apprentice pair is really impressive.¡±


    ¡°Sometimes I wonder!


    Chen Cang is already this powerful, how strong must Director Meng be?¡±


    ¡°Did we overlook Director Meng from the start?¡±


    After hearing this, the crowd below was also stunned.


    Right!


    If Chen Cang is already this powerful, how strong must Director Meng bea€|?


    And the group of men agreed one after another!


    After all, a class D warrior, fearsome indeed.


    Yang Guangdong suddenly exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s great to be young, master and apprentice entering the fray, competing for the championship; it seems this year¡¯s competition is even more exciting!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s continue watching the surgery!¡±


    After switching the screen, the audience lost interest¡­


    Mouths not saying, but hearts crying out, we want to watch Teacher Meng!


    a€|


    a€|


    At the competition site, Chen Cang took a deep breath, admitting defeat.


    Can wealth also enhance luck?


    This Director Meng, his aura is overwhelming!


    The very first surgery I lectured Director Meng on happens to be this one; how lucky can this teacher get?


    Chen Cang thought this, couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue in wonder.


    But it¡¯s all right; this lackluster teacher managed to fumble his way through and advance successfully.


    Chen Cang was rather skilled at these surgeries!


    This innovative technique, Meng Xi is his only disciple.


    The surgery was finished early, and the examiner was He Daejin.


    In two contests, Chen Cang had rewritten her worldview twice.


    How can this kid be so talented?


    This surgery, struck by inspiration, was nothing short of classic.


    The ¡®sandwich¡¯ is a long-established surgical technique, but it was still the first time it had been adjusted for such an operation.


    To keep the substance and discard the dross!


    Truly remarkable.


    Thinking of this, He Daejin grew even fonder of this young man.

 Chapter 649 - Chapter 649 Chapter 649 Encouragement!

    ?Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Encouragement!


    (1/3 additional chapter for Alliance Hierarch Wang Ye i) Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Encouragement!


    (1/3 additional chapter for Alliance Hierarch Wang Ye i) Because it was done too quickly!


    The operating room once again fell into an awkward silence.


    Chen Cang thought about talking to Teacher Meng and communicating with her, wondering if he could openly call her Teacher Meng, while she would call him Teacher Chen privately!


    This way, it could intensify their teacher-student relationship and also help with mutual business promotion!


    [Ding!


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    Meng Xi¡¯s favorability +20!]


    After receiving the system prompt, Chen Cang pondered for a moment.


    This must be because Teacher Meng had finished the surgery.


    Considering her character of not counting her chickens before they hatch, she would definitely not reward him so soon!


    Indeed!


    Meng Xi was so happy internally, thinking herself a genius, fully analyzing the data, combining contents of previous competitions, and according to the trend of cardiac surgery development, she had successfully bet on the direction of the examination question!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??0.§ã?


    She was truly a genius!


    I¡¯m too amazing¡­


    That kid Chen Cang also deserves some credit, I guess, but the biggest credit still goes to me!


    After all: I was the one who correctly guessed the question, I was the one who invited Chen Cang, and the fruit of the final victory should rightfully be enjoyed by me, right?


    In the final analysis, Teacher Meng is still old and spicy!


    Yes!


    It was time for the competition.


    The examiners asked everyone to leave the room.


    At this time, as Chen Cang was preparing to get up and leave, He Daejin couldn¡¯t help herself.


    She picked up a piece of paper, handed it to Chen Cang with a smile, and said, ¡°Add me on WeChat when you get back.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, his face immediately lighting up with joy.


    After so many years, someone has finally taken the initiative to ask for my WeChat!


    This is the 301¡¯s head director¡­


    And she¡¯s a woman!


    This sense of achievement is tripled!


    After all¡­


    this shows that my talent fascinates people more than my looks.


    Teacher Meng at his side experienced the same ordeal.


    She just sighed, wondering when others would see her true essence instead of this terrible skin; she glanced at Director Yu and pretended to leave happily.


    Probably in this world, only Chen Cang would disdain her, right?


    Yes!


    Blind Chen dog!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Candidates gradually returned to their seats and quietly waited for the score to be announced.


    Meng Xi saw Chen Cang and couldn¡¯t help but show off, ¡°Do you admit defeat?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°I admit defeat!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Meng Xi felt extremely pleased.


    After all, getting Chen Cang to admit defeat felt more substantial than some director asking for contact information!


    Thinking of this, she whispered in Chen Cang¡¯s ear, ¡°As long as you admit it, that¡¯s right.


    From now on, by following your Teacher Meng, you¡¯ll enjoy endless worldly pleasures and eternal delights!¡±


    Chen Cang rolled his eyes: ¡°Teacher Meng, if you keep this up, I¡¯m going to block you!¡±


    Meng Xi: ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, He Daejin was confidently waiting for the score discussion!


    That¡¯s right!


    Today, she gave Chen Cang 100 points again.


    Yu Zhiquiang, aren¡¯t you an academic purist?


    Don¡¯t you like to do things by the book?


    This new application of the sandwich technique is definitely what you academics like the most.


    Come on!


    This time I give 100 points, try to refute me!


    However, when it was time for the discussion, and she played the video of her marking, Yu Zhiquiang didn¡¯t oppose it at all!


    He even supported it!


    This made He Daejin somewhat astonished.


    Wu Tongpu reacted the same way.


    Yu Zhiquiang spoke, ¡°In our group, we also have a candidate who used the same technique, named Meng Xi, and I gave her 100 points as well because this sandwich technique really caught my eye.¡±


    ¡°Director Wu, what do you think?¡±


    Wu Tongpu nodded: ¡°Yes, let¡¯s go with that.


    Does anyone have any objections?¡±


    Everyone shook their heads!


    As Wu Tongpu said, something excellent deserves praise; don¡¯t be stingy with high marks.


    Suddenly, Wu Tongpu smiled and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious why these two people are strikingly similar?¡±


    Everyone was taken aback, of course they were curious.


    They really couldn¡¯t imagine how two people could come up with the same idea.


    Wu Tongpu continued, ¡°Chen Cang and Meng Xi are teacher and student, with Meng Xi being Chen Cang¡¯s teacher.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone had a moment of realization!


    ¡°Meng Xi is that impressive?¡±


    ¡°Yes!


    Her student Chen Cang has gotten two one hundred points already, could she be¡­


    hiding her true abilities?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this time, in the audience, the scores were being recorded one by one!


    The crowd below, seeing the data on the screen, suddenly froze!


    Because the scores for two people from group A and D had not yet been announced.


    One of them was Chen Cang!


    At this moment, the contestant ranked sixth in group A glared at Guo Yunfei, silently cursing in her heart, may all your hair fall out!


    Bald Thief!


    That¡¯s right, he had already given up.


    Chen Cang must have scored high again.


    As for the girl who ranked sixth in Group D, she was feeling quite pleased with herself, since Meng Xi¡¯s score in the first round wasn¡¯t as high as her own.


    She wasn¡¯t out yet, but¡­


    she should be advancing, right?


    Then, a friend who had been eliminated turned to her and said,


    ¡°Tingting¡­


    you should be eliminated!¡±


    The girl immediately got defensive, ¡°Why?¡±


    Her friend sighed and pointed at Meng Xi, saying, ¡°That¡¯s Meng Xi.¡±


    The girl took a glance and became even happier!


    ¡°My chances are even better!¡±


    Her friend was puzzled, ¡°Why?¡±


    The girl whispered, ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard that Bear is brainless?¡±


    Her friend sighed and spoke the truth, ¡°Sigh¡­


    What¡¯s inside is AD calcium milk, not lumps, and moreover, listen to the cheers from behind and you¡¯ll understand.¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang is Meng Xi¡¯s student, and the surgery just now¡­¡±


    After listening to her friend finish, the girl grew a bit annoyed!


    She said with conviction, ¡°I am going to write a paper when I get back, researching whether Bear¡¯s size has anything to do with IQ!¡±


    Upon hearing this, her friend thought it was a research-worthy topic and eyes lit up, ¡°I¡¯ll help you look up information!¡±


    ¡­


    At this time, the scores came out!


    Chen Cang and Meng Xi both scored 100!


    The scene was once again in an uproar!


    What an impressive master and apprentice duo.


    Both scoring 100, that¡¯s way too strong, isn¡¯t it?


    One bald and strong!


    The other more protruding, even stronger!


    Frightening indeed!


    The male peers around them looked at Guo Yunfei with envy.


    They suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie.


    What¡¯s a bald head with a teacher like that?


    What¡¯s a ¡®Strive to my utmost until I die¡¯ attitude without following in their footsteps?


    Just fight and that¡¯s it!


    Sigh!


    The teachers of others¡­


    Meanwhile, several veteran experts on stage looked at Guo Yunfei and reflected,


    Sigh!


    The students of others¡­


    Guo Yunfei had a decent score, 94, a very good and stable score!


    But, looking at Chen Cang and Meng Xi scoring 100, suddenly there was a sour feeling in his heart.


    He touched the top of his head and lamented, have I really become like this, or am I not as good as those two?


    Shouldn¡¯t I be the strongest in Dongyang?


    Thinking about how he was the one with the highest support from the people of Dongyang¡­


    But¡­


    Sigh!


    At this thought, Guo Yunfei felt indescribably complex.


    Chen Cang turned around, seeing Guo Yunfei seemed a bit downcast.


    He couldn¡¯t help but encourage, ¡°Old Guo, don¡¯t be sad, you¡¯re really excellent and have been recognized by many people.


    Look, isn¡¯t there respect in the eyes of so many people around you?


    Haven¡¯t you noticed?¡±


    ¡°I am a bit envious of you!¡±


    Indeed, Chen didn¡¯t know why Guo Yunfei had so many fans!


    Could it really be that baldness in the medical community has a special charm bonus?


    Guo Yunfei was taken aback, looking back to see the competitors all looking at him with respect and admiration, suddenly¡­


    his mood improved a lot!


    It seems that it must be my surgical videos that have won everyone¡¯s recognition.


    Everyone is affirming me!


    Sigh¡­


    The judgement of the masses is indeed razor-sharp.


    Chen was about to make a few polite remarks, but saw Guo Yunfei suddenly in a much better mood, and his spirits lifted.


    He couldn¡¯t help but squint his eyes, feeling that encouragement works wonders with people!


    The system was humanized; maybe his own encouragement could yield some good rewards too?


    With this thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but speak out loud,


    ¡°System oh system, you¡¯re already a mature system, your rewards must be generous, right?¡±


    No sooner had he spoken than the sounds of [Ding!] [Ding!] rang out incessantly.


    Chen Cang was overjoyed!


    Holy cow?


    My encouragement actually worked?


    ¡­


    ¡­

    (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch Wang Ye i, additional chapter 2/3) ¡°`


    Chen Cang sat there, listening to the system notification sound.


    He was suddenly stunned!


    It seemed that the chicken soup really was useful, the role of encouragement was indeed greater than that of criticism!


    With this thought, Chen Cang hurriedly focused his eyes to see.


    [Ding!


    Congratulations on obtaining the Surgical Insight for Pseudoaneurysmectomy of the Aorta!]


    [Ding!


    Congratulations on obtaining the Surgical Insight for Subclavian Artery Injury Repair!]


    [Ding!

    [Ding!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Congratulations on earning 5 free skill points!]


    The rewards were truly rich!


    They were more useful than many things!


    The three insights would directly elevate Chen Cang¡¯s three skills from Near Perfect to High Perfect.


    Chen Cang sat there, silently closing his eyes.


    He casually digested the three insights one by one.


    As those insights continuously integrated with Chen Cang¡¯s own surgical experience, for the first time, he realized that he had many problems before!


    For example, in vascular suturing, the speed of suturing is not the most important aspect.


    When suturing, there are too many factors to consider.


    And the main function of repair is not just to mend, but to achieve a quicker recovery, and to reduce the damage caused by the repair itself.


    This feeling was peculiar, yet easy to understand.


    But without someone pointing it out, it was rare to grasp.


    Honestly, Chen Cang thought that reaching Perfect would be quite an achievement at the conclusion of the national competition.


    He really didn¡¯t expect to achieve Full Mastery all of a sudden!


    With that in mind, Chen Cang felt he should go back and specifically cultivate the art of chicken soup, feeling certain it would be useful!


    Look at Doctor Guo, he was full of zeal at this moment, ready for the upcoming competition.


    After an unknown period of time, Chen Cang suddenly felt a sensation like many small streams merging into a river!


    Chen Cang¡¯s face immediately lit up with joy!


    If he was not mistaken, this must mean the [Vascular Anastomosis Technique] was going to reach Perfect!


    Before touching cardiac surgery, Chen Cang already had a master¡¯s level of expertise in vascular anastomosis, with three special effects, very close to Near Perfect.


    But!


    For a fundamental skill like vascular anastomosis, to reach Perfect was much more difficult than perfecting a single surgery!


    After all, vascular anastomosis is a large category!


    One can only make a breakthrough after gaining a sufficient understanding of various blood vessels, various arteries and veins, and the entire circulatory system.


    Just like how Chen Cang¡¯s tendon suturing method was developed after absorbing the strengths of hundreds of tendon repair techniques!


    Therefore!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang was somewhat excited internally, if [Vascular Anastomosis Technique] reached Perfect.


    It would be greatly beneficial for his future advancement!


    Because any surgery is inseparable from dealing with blood vessels, the human body is a vast network of blood vessels, from large vessels to small ones, from the aorta to the venous plexus.


    The perfection of this skill would undoubtedly be beneficial for mastering and learning any other skill!


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, your Vascular Anastomosis Technique has been temporarily elevated to Perfect level!


    Triggering a challenge task, after completing the task, Vascular Anastomosis Technique will be permanently Perfect!]


    [Task prompt: Complete a high-difficulty assessment task: Perform surgery on a King-level BOSS and pass the system¡¯s evaluation!


    After completion, Vascular Anastomosis Technique can be lifted to Perfect!]


    [Prompt: Greater power entails greater responsibility and duty, go save those in peril!]


    [Prompt: The system will assist you in finding patients carrying King-level BOSS and save them, help them, pass the test!]


    After listening, Chen Cang fell silent.


    A King-level boss, he had encountered two so far!


    Chen Cang sighed!


    He had a premonition that in tomorrow¡¯s practical simulation, he was going to face a major boss!


    With this thought, Chen Cang felt tremendous pressure.


    ¡°`


    In the evening, I must make up for missed lessons well, redeem whatever skills of Teacher Meng I can, and get prepared.


    Guo Yunfei, looking at Chen Cang, suddenly said, ¡°Chen Cang, are you very nervous?¡±


    Chen Cang remained silent.


    Having a big boss hanging over one¡¯s head, it would be false to say he wasn¡¯t nervous.


    Soon, the host announced the advancement list!


    None of the three from Dongyang Province had fallen!


    This was good news.


    However, if you don¡¯t make it to the finals, it¡¯s all for nothing.


    Being eliminated early or a bit later, actually, there¡¯s not much difference.


    After all, only those in the finals get to be on TV¡­


    Soon, the host shuffled and drew lots for the advancing participants.!


    This time, advancement wasn¡¯t based on points.


    It was pure PK, win, and advance!


    Therefore, drawing lots was the most reliable method.


    Nevertheless, everyone looked at Chen Cang and Meng Xi with some trepidation, finding groups A and D to be extremely dangerous.


    Group B had Sikong!


    Group C had Ding Yu!


    The pressure was great in today¡¯s competition.


    Everyone fervently prayed not to encounter these individuals.


    Under the host¡¯s guidance, everyone stepped forward to draw and register.


    After a 10-minute break, the final stage of the group competition began.


    However, it could be seen that the more than twenty people who had made it this far were much calmer.


    After all, to have reached this point, their strength was very formidable.


    But the strongest was still Chen Cang, who scored perfect 100s every competition!


    This was simply a monster.


    As participants entered the examination room by group, the competition officially started!


    This written exam was even more anticipated, as it meant everyone would give their all in PK, otherwise they¡¯d be eliminated.


    The pressure had greatly increased for everyone.


    When the large screen displayed the PK groupings.


    People were stunned!


    ?¦Ï¦Í¨À¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    In Group A, Peng Lu faced Chen Cang!


    At this moment, the others breathed a sigh of relief.


    Sister Peng Lu was in danger.


    After looking at the list, the host also said, ¡°Perhaps, the PK between Peng Lu and Chen Cang is the hottest match of this competition, right?¡±


    Li Wenbin nodded, ¡°Yes, a clash of the strong, the match will be very exciting.¡±


    The host looked at Xiong Kangyu and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, ¡°Director Xiong, who do you think will win this match?¡±


    Xiong Kangyu laughed, ¡°I think Chen Cang will definitely win!¡±


    Everyone sighed in response.


    The adorable and plump Sister Peng Lu is about to be ruthlessly plucked by the great devil Chen Cang.


    Yang Guangdong then said with an indefinable tone, ¡°Actually, Peng Lu also has a chance; after all, everyone has their strengths, let¡¯s wait and see.¡±


    At this time, in the office backstage.


    Wu Tongpu looked at the competition register, chuckled to himself, and thought Peng Lu was in danger.


    She wouldn¡¯t even make it to the finals.


    Peng Lu was his student, who had followed him from Xiehe to the Emergency Center, a very cute young girl.


    Wu Tongpu even saw her as his daughter, a girl who cried easily, loved snacks, and was also very tenacious.


    But in the blink of an eye, she was 35, already a mother of two.


    As Chen Cang entered the examination room, he bowed to the examiner.


    Seeing Chen Cang, Yu Zhiquiang was also taken aback, finally meeting you.


    The man with two consecutive perfect scores.

 Chapter 651 - Chapter 651 Chapter 651 Mistaken Identity

    ?Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Mistaken Identity?


    (For Alliance Hierarch Wang Ye i, this is the third added chapter out of three) Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Mistaken Identity?


    (For Alliance Hierarch Wang Ye i, this is the third added chapter out of three) The competition begins!


    Chen Cang watched the surgery, his brows slightly furrowed.


    This was a rather rare operation.


    A surgery to repair a clavicle fracture that had punctured the subclavian artery and vein.


    Such surgeries are now rare in clinical practice, because with the advent of car airbags, effective protection can be provided for the clavicle and head, leading to a decline in these types of injuries.


    The surgery was highly risky and, once diagnosed, required immediate surgical repair.


    Chen Cang immediately began his procedure.


    Since the operation was on a simulator, there was no need for procedures like opening and closing the chest, saving quite a bit of time.


    And it saved money!


    After all, simulators aren¡¯t cheap, but if you¡¯re just repairing blood vessels, it could be convenient.


    Once the simulation equipment was activated, ¡°blood¡± surged out continuously.


    Despite the persistent beeping of the monitor, Chen Cang remained calm and collected.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    That¡¯s because many things are more important than the actual surgery before starting the repair of the subclavian artery injury on the right!


    The subclavian artery area is quite special, packed with nerves, as well as the trachea and esophagus.


    Therefore, before surgery, it¡¯s critical not to rush and cause bleeding and damage to the nearby vagus and recurrent laryngeal nerves, which could lead to many severe sequelae!


    Chen Cang carefully separated the area around the right brachiocephalic artery bifurcation, revealing the right subclavian artery!


    He then began to retract and protect the nearby vagus and recurrent laryngeal nerves, and throughout all these actions, Chen Cang did not use hemostats, as these instruments can easily damage nerves.


    He simply controlled the bleeding with digital pressure.


    It wasn¡¯t until later that he clamped the proximal and distal ends of the free rupture and began a thorough debridement of the blood vessel!


    For some reason, Yu Zhiquiang hadn¡¯t seen a hint of nervousness in Chen Cang since he entered the room.


    Moreover, throughout the surgery, he was neither hurried nor slow, completely unflustered¡­


    What did that poise remind him of?


    Yu Zhiquiang racked his brains and suddenly understooda€¡±it was like watching Academician Wu perform surgery, with a sense of leisurely strolling.


    It seemed¡­


    as if everything was under control.


    But at that moment, the assistant facing Chen Cang was sweating profusely.


    The feeling wasn¡¯t exclusive to Yu Zhiquiang; even the assisting doctor felt the pressure of being an underling to a superior.


    It felt like an immense pressure!


    Sweat trickled down their backs nervously.


    Seeing this situation, Yu Zhiquiang glanced at his colleague, the co-examiner, and saw his brow was tight, looking¡­


    as if they were on ward rounds with the Dean.


    Very¡­


    peculiar.


    The key point was, watching Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, they both felt less like examiners and more like students learning from the Director¡¯s operations.


    It was as if they were back in the days when they had just started at the hospital, with the Director leading them through surgeries.


    Yes!


    That was the feeling.


    It felt like every move Chen Cang made was profound, even a simple needle holding action seemed impressive.


    Both were shocked, exchanged glances, and saw panic in each other¡¯s eyes.


    What was happening?


    How long had it been since they¡¯d experienced such a feeling?


    Wasn¡¯t this too exaggerated?


    Yu Zhiquiang came from an academic background, and their older generation of teachers were not from academic circles as the national college entrance exam had only been reinstated not long before.


    He had seen so many bigwigs from practical backgrounds!


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã?


    After numerous surgeries, these experts had shed their embellishments, giving off a sense of simplicity from complexity.


    They had a kind of charisma, a mixture of casual confidence, quite enchanting!


    But¡­


    in this day and age, such people were becoming increasingly rare because there weren¡¯t as many clinical opportunities.


    To put it bluntly, how could surgeons become formidable?


    They must be tested by countless surgeries!


    Through constant failures!


    In this era, who dares to fail?


    They¡¯d be finished in an instant!


    Yet, he found this very sensation in Chen Cang!


    Terrifying!


    This was highly irregular, how could Chen Cang, at his young age, possibly have such extensive surgical clinical experience?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, on the large screen outside on the stage, Chen Cang¡¯s surgery was being broadcasted!


    After all, it was the finale of the day, featuring the popular contestant Peng Lu and the powerful dark horse, ¡°Chen the Devil.¡±


    Li Wenbin watched the operation: ¡°Why do I feel that Chen Cang¡¯s surgery is a bit odd?


    It¡¯s completely different from what we saw earlier!¡±


    It wasn¡¯t just Li Wenbin; Yang Guangdong and Xiong Kangyu were also nodding in agreement.


    Exactly!


    Chen Cang¡¯s surgery was strikingly different in style compared to before.


    What on earth was going on?


    Li Wenbin looked at the big screen and suddenly made a lighthearted joke, ¡°We¡¯re about to reach the vascular suturing part.


    Maybe, we¡¯ll get to see Chen Cang¡¯s quick and delicate ¡®Chen-style Suturing¡¯ again.


    Honestly, this is my first time seeing such speed and precision in suturing.


    It¡¯s quite enjoyable.¡±


    The audience nodded in agreement!


    Indeed, Chen Cang¡¯s suturing speed was even faster than Sikong¡¯s.


    Those who hadn¡¯t seen the competition at the beginning because of the match, now all widened their eyes, getting ready.


    But at this moment, everyone was suddenly dumbfounded!


    Because¡­


    after Chen Cang and Peng Lu started suturing at the same time, Chen Cang¡¯s suturing speed did not increase, but decreased¡­


    It seemed he was intentionally controlling it.


    At this time, Wu Tongpu slowly took the stage, sat down on a sofa, and began watching the competition because he had noticed something very strange about this operation of Chen Cang¡¯s.


    After taking a close look, Wu Tongpu¡¯s eyes widened suddenly.


    Peng Lu had lost!


    There was basically no need to compare anymore.


    The difference was two entire ranks, not even in the same weight class.


    He had come on stage to explain Chen Cang¡¯s operation and its implications, because without their commentary¡­


    the audience would find it very difficult to understand.


    Perhaps¡­


    they might not understand even after the explanation?


    After all, the gap was just too big.


    When the host saw Wu Tongpu come up, he immediately bowed in greeting!


    Curiously, he said to Wu Tongpu, ¡°Academician Wu, in this competition, Chen Cang seems to be at a disadvantage.


    I feel that Peng Lu is slightly overpowering Chen Cang, look at that suture¡­¡±


    The audience below furrowed their brows!


    Those senior deputy directors and attending physicians watching the competition had their brows tightly knitted.


    Indeed, from the looks of it on screen, Peng Lu was very impressive.


    But¡­


    For some reason, they always felt that Chen Cang¡¯s operation, with every move and stitch, gave off an incredibly badass vibe?


    The crowd below started discussing heatedly!


    And at this moment.


    Upon hearing the host¡¯s words, Wu Tongpu couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, ¡°Peng Lu has lost.¡±


    Everyone was immediately astonished!


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Why do I feel that Sister Peng Lu is amazing?¡±


    ¡°Is Chen Cang holding back his strength?¡±


    ¡­


    Wu Tongpu continued, ¡°Zoom in on the image, enlarge it, and then enlarge it again!¡±


    The host nodded and zoomed in the camera.


    Wu Tongpu said, ¡°Look at Chen Cang¡¯s suturing trajectory, the degree of fit between the blood vessel¡¯s inner and outer membranes¡­¡±


    Li Wenbin suddenly slapped the table, almost standing up!


    ¡°Academician Wu¡­


    are you talking about Chen Cang¡¯s surgery?¡±


    Wu Tongpu nodded, ¡°Yes, Chen Cang¡¯s vascular anastomosis far surpasses Peng Lu, his understanding of blood vessels, their recovery, and even the adverse effects of subclavian steal syndrome post-surgery, he has it all under control!¡±


    Xiong Kangyu took a deep breath after hearing this.


    This kid¡­


    has become even stronger!


    And every spectator on site watched Wu Tongpu, dumbstrucka€¡±was Chen Cang really that powerful?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Time ticked away by the second, and the surgery soon ended.


    When Chen Cang put down his instruments, the scrub nurse and the surgical assistant immediately breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling drained.


    That¡¯s right!


    The pressure had been too great.


    From start to finish, Chen Cang had put immense pressure on them.


    Even more pressure than operating with the department chief!


    Even Yu Zhiquiang was somewhat uneasy.


    To tell the truth, during this surgery, Yu Zhiquiang had faintly sensed many extraordinary things¡­


    This was the direction in which he needed to work hard and improve.


    Thinking of this, he was somewhat shocked!


    This young man, his understanding of vascular anastomosis, was already so profound?


    It seemed as if Chen Cang was the director, and they were the examinees!


    When the staff announced it was time for the candidates to leave the scene.


    Chen Cang was about to say goodbye and depart.


    Yu Zhiquiang and the deputy examiner unexpectedly said in unison, ¡°Goodbye, Director Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    This¡­


    He turned around and curiously looked at the assistant and scrub nurse.


    When the two saw Chen Cang staring at them, they were immediately taken aback.


    They quickly nodded and bowed, saying, ¡°Goodbye, Director Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang was baffled!


    Had they recognized the wrong person?


    Alas¡­

    ?Chapter 652: Chapter 652: I Want to Give You a Surgical Knife!


    Chapter 652: Chapter 652: I Want to Give You a Surgical Knife!


    After Chen Cang left, the entire room inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief!


    Everyone looked at each other and couldn¡¯t help but shake their heads with a sense of wonderment.


    The doctor who had assisted Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director Yu, who exactly is Director Chen¡­?


    When I was assisting him, why did I feel such immense pressure?¡±


    ¡°The moment he looked at me, I got scared, as if I had made a mistake.


    It scared me to death!¡±


    ¡°What did it feel like to me?


    It was just like the time when Academician Wu came to our hospital to perform surgery, and I assisted him, afraid of making any mistakes!¡±


    The instrument nurse quickly agreed, ¡°Me too!


    When he glanced at me just now, I got so nervous!


    I thought I had grabbed the wrong thing, it was so embarrassing.¡±


    After hearing this, Yu Zhiquiang also shook his head and sighed, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, even standing here with Old Zhang, both of us felt chilly.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?0


    I misunderstood her!¡±


    The deputy examiner couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, ¡°Director Yu, I have to say, you and your wife shouldn¡¯t have pursued the same specialty.


    Now look, you argue all the time.


    Those who know you realize you¡¯re a married couple, but those who don¡¯t might think you¡¯re archenemies!¡±


    Upon hearing that, Yu Zhiquiang couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    He and He Daejin studied under the same teacher; he was the senior brother, and He Daejin was the junior sister.


    Hmm!


    Perhaps to many people, isn¡¯t this a storyline out of a martial arts novel?


    The senior brother and junior sister unite in marriage, their swords join forces, invincible under heavens!


    Hmm!


    That is a martial arts story.


    What¡¯s the reality?


    Initially, things were fine between them, but as time went on, academic disputes began to arise.


    Their philosophies didn¡¯t align!


    This was a very troublesome matter.


    Romance?


    Go to hell!


    Eventually, they made a rule: no talking about work after hours.


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but laugh at this.


    Indeed!


    Director Yu and Director He are quite well-known in the cardiothoracic surgery community for liking to argue.


    Suddenly, the deputy examiner asked, ¡°Director Yu, how many points¡­


    should we give?¡±


    Yu Zhiquiang sighed.


    He realized the hard work his wife had put in just now; this surgery was done so well that¡­


    there were no other scores in his mind but 100.


    Yu Zhiquiang suddenly laughed, ¡°Old Zhang, why do I feel like we are not qualified to grade, huh?¡±


    Old Zhang chuckled, ¡°It seems it¡¯s not us assessing Chen Cang, but Chen Cang assessing us two!¡±


    Everyone laughed heartily.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After Chen Cang came out, he felt a big difference in his heart.


    This surgery went very smoothly for Chen Cang, very pleasantly.


    There were no fancy gimmicks, just plain commitment to doing each task well.


    Maybe surgery is just this simple?


    He couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, as the phrase ¡°from complexity to simplicity, returning to the original purity¡± emerged in his mind.


    After coming out, Chen Cang returned to his seat.


    From the facial expressions of those around him, it seemed they were uneasy, all somewhat nervous and anxious.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Including Guo Yunfei, he felt incredibly panicky!


    Last year at this time, he had encountered Sikong; luckily, his luck was better this year.


    And Meng Xi¡¯s facial expression was quite colorful; she was thrilled, her summary and deductions too perfect, encountering the exact same problem.


    I, Meng Xi, am absolutely a god of Europe!


    I¡¯m going to win the championship!


    As she thought of this, she felt she should treat Chen Cang well tonight, to ensure she could win that championship¡­


    But looking at Chen Cang¡¯s furrowed brow, not saying a word.


    Guo Yunfei and Meng Xi both felt a jolt of shock.


    Could it be¡­


    his performance wasn¡¯t good?


    Everyone waited with bated breath, filled with unease.


    In Chen Cang¡¯s mind, however, he was continuously pondering the situations he might encounter tomorrow.


    King level boss!


    (Adopting readers¡¯ suggestions, ¡®king level¡¯ has been updated to ¡®king level boss.¡¯)


    ¡­


    This time, the scoring required the expert judging panel to seriously discuss and think!


    After all, victory or defeat happens in an instant, and the loser will be eliminated!


    Only through collective discussion can we unify the scores.


    Anyway, it¡¯s already the last surgery, so no one is in a hurry.


    However, today, the results of the PK between Chen Cang and Peng Lu were the first to be discussed.


    After all, Chen Cang¡¯s advantage was too obvious.


    Peng Lu¡¯s mentor, Academician Wu, said directly, ¡°Chen Cang 100 points.


    For Peng Lu, you guys see for yourselves.¡±


    Everyone shook their heads, as the exact score no longer mattered.


    Even if Peng Lu got 99 points, she would still be eliminated.


    And for the other scores, everyone needed to argue for a long time.


    ¡­


    Guo Yunfei looked at Chen Cang feeling some pressure and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Chen Cang, actually¡­


    you are already excellent, don¡¯t be nervous.¡±


    But as soon as Guo Yunfei¡¯s words fell, everyone on site erupted with excitement!


    ¡°OMG, Chen Cang scored another 100!¡±


    ¡°Are they crazy?


    That¡¯s three 100s in a row!¡±


    ¡°Is this guy too awesome or what?


    Three PKs, three full scores, this¡­


    is simply too amazing, right?¡±


    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened, staring incredulously at the big screen!


    Because at that moment, on the big screen, there was no one else¡¯s score but Chen Cang¡¯s, 100 points!


    On the big screen, the score was both jarringly conspicuous and immensely noticeable.


    Seeing this, Peng Lu¡¯s eyes went wide with curiosity.


    Has Chen Cang scored full points three times now?


    Just how strong is this guy?


    As for favoritism?


    With my own teacher as the main reviewer, you¡¯ve got to be joking, right?


    And at that moment, all the competitors seriously started to see Chen Cang as a serious contender!


    Three competitions, three full scores.


    Sikong seemed somewhat overshadowed.


    The original favorite for the championship had become a nobody due to Chen Cang¡¯s emergence.


    Guo Yunfei was dumbfounded!


    To console my ass, you showoff!


    Another full score, acting all modest with a score of 59, deceiving me¡­


    Soon, the results were announced!


    The names of the 12 advancing competitors appeared on the big screen!


    Next to each person was a photo.


    Chen Cang checked the list, hm, Guo Yunfei advanced, Meng Xi barely made it.


    This year, Dongyang Province seemed to be quite lucky.


    The host invited everyone onto the stage.


    When Chen Cang¡¯s name was called, everyone cheered, ¡°Chen Cang!


    Chen Cang!


    The Great Devil King!¡±


    ¡°We love you even if you¡¯re bald!¡±


    Chen Cang paused for a moment, thinking, ¡°I have a head full of lustrous black hair.


    Don¡¯t curse me.


    I¡¯m using Head & Shoulders (now pay me).¡±


    As Chen Cang slowly ascended the stage, all the spectators were suddenly taken aback!


    So he¡¯s Chen Cang?


    Then who¡¯s that sitting over there?


    Soon, Guo Yunfei¡¯s name was called out, and he happily went on stage.


    Everyone suddenly realized!


    It all became clear.


    Our Chen Cang is just as handsome as his photo!


    He didn¡¯t Photoshop, he didn¡¯t use any beauty apps!


    He¡¯s as young and handsome in person!


    He¡¯s not bald, but terrifyingly strong.


    In an instant, the male peers envied and hated him, while the female fans were thrilled and excited.


    This fell right in line with their fantasies about Chen Cang, the Great Devil King.


    ¡°Great Devil King!


    I want to have your surgical scalpel!¡±

    Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Chen Cang is in danger¡­


    ¡°`


    Guo Yunfei finally understood at this moment why people called him Doctor Chen!


    Turns out, he had been sitting on the throne for a whole day!


    No wonder all the looks around him were filled with admiration¡­


    So that¡¯s how it is!


    The truth was now clear.


    The audience also began to understand.


    With a hint of bemusement, they looked at Guo Yunfei and shouted, ¡°Guo Yunfei rocks!


    Bald or not, you¡¯ve gotten stronger!¡±


    Everyone burst into laughter.


    Actually, at this moment, everyone on stage was very outstanding.


    Wu Tongpu looked at the crowd and smiled, ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯ve entered the finals.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?0


    I believe you are all seasoned doctors, but I still must remind you to not be careless or reckless.¡±


    ¡°Your negligence is irresponsible to the patients.


    Let me remind you once again, whether it is today or tomorrow, since you are doctors, strive to be good doctors.¡±


    ¡°Now, let¡¯s start the draw.¡±


    Minutes later, the drawing began to determine the hospitals.


    After Chen Cang pulled out a piece of paper, he paused for a moment, ¡°The Capital Emergency Medical Center Hospital!¡±


    Once everyone had finished drawing and registering, the hospitals each person would go to quickly appeared on the big screen.


    When everyone saw the hospital Chen Cang was assigned to, they were momentarily stunned.


    ¡°The Capital Emergency Medical Center Hospital!¡±


    ¡°Right?


    Chen Cang really has tough luck¡­¡±


    ¡°Indeed, none who went to that hospital has ever won the championship.


    That¡¯s¡­really unfortunate, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Hearing their seniors¡¯ conversation, the students were perplexed, ¡°Why?


    Isn¡¯t Dean Wu the head of the Emergency Medical Center Hospital?


    That hospital is very impressive; it¡¯s the emergency hub of the entire capital¡­¡±


    Upon hearing this, a senior nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, and it¡¯s precisely for this reason that Chen Cang stands no chance.¡±


    Another person nodded along, ¡°The doctors at the Emergency Medical Center Hospital are well-trained elite soldiers.


    When they carry out rescues, everything is already in perfect order, forming a very efficient team.


    Once Chen Cang goes there, it will be difficult for him to stand out.¡±


    ¡°And the scoring is based on your performance, with the group members doing the scoring based on overall performance, involvement¡­


    and so on.¡±


    ¡°They are all too skilled, so in that environment, it¡¯s easy to be at a loss, and as a result, it¡¯s hard to score high!¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Indeed, that was the logic.


    Chen Cang naturally didn¡¯t know this news, but¡­


    he knew that no matter where he went, there would always be a King-level boss waiting for him.


    Rather than worry, it was better to go back and thoroughly study, to learn all those surgeries by heart, ensuring to be prepared.


    With this in mind, Chen Cang made up his mind to stay in the hotel that day and go nowhere else.


    Right!


    Mr.


    Meng¡¯s presidential suite was still available; he should go there since the standard room was occupied.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to disturb anyone, nor did he want to be disturbed.


    Qin Yueming had been an examiner for a whole day.


    Seeing Chen Cang, Guo Yunfei, and Meng Xi advance smoothly, he was undoubtedly thrilled!


    It¡¯s been many years!


    At last, Dongyang Province was making a strong appearance.


    Three people had advanced at once.


    What shocked Qin Yueming the most was Chen Cang.


    To tell the truth, he had been an examiner for many years.


    Since the establishment of the national skills competition, there might have been others who had scored full marks, but definitely no one who had done it three times in a row!


    Chen Cang had created history.


    His brother¡¯s judgement was simply too good.


    Chen Cang was bound to become famous.


    If such a person won the championship tomorrow, he would undoubtedly be on the national TV.


    ¡°`


    By then, becoming the head of the emergency department at Dongyang Province¡¯s second most renowned hospital, this merit, brother, is all yours!


    But when he saw Chen Cang¡¯s draw result, he was instantly stunned!


    Even Wu Tongpu couldn¡¯t help being taken aback.


    Whatever, let nature take its course.


    After the meeting, Meng Xi said to Chen Cang, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, sis will take you out for a nice spicy meal, you worked hard today, you deserve it!¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°No thanks!


    I¡¯ve got something to do¡­¡±


    Meng Xi was taken aback and stared at Chen Cang, ¡°Why do you look as if you¡¯ve lost the contest?¡±


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Ms.


    Meng, can you lend me your suite card for a bit?¡±


    Meng Xi nodded, then handed the card to Chen Cang, ¡°Here, what do you need it for?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Nothing much, I just saw that the bed seemed pretty good when I went today, thought I¡¯d experience it.¡±


    Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang with a skeptical expression and knowingly said, ¡°Don¡¯t overexert yourself~¡±


    ¡­


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?0


    ¡­


    After leaving the venue, Chen Cang went for a buffet.


    During his meal, one after another, a group of people came up to chat and network with Chen Cang.


    There were hospital presidents, department heads, private hospital owners, and regional general agents from some equipment companies.


    Undoubtedly, they all wanted to make friends with Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang did not decline; having more friends meant more opportunities, who knew when someone might be useful!


    Back in his room, Chen Cang had a video chat with Qin Xiaotian.


    Missing her just for a day, he was quite eager to see her.


    Seeing Qin Yue¡¯s smile, Chen Cang felt much better about today.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was ecstatic!


    Ever since Qin Yueming told him about Chen Cang¡¯s consecutive full marks in three contests, old Qin was dumbfounded.


    He knew his son-in-law was capable, but he had never imagined him to be this exceptional, praising his own good judgment!


    He immediately said with a laugh, ¡°Xiao Chen, once you¡¯re back, I¡¯ll hold a banquet for you, my special reserve, just you and me, not inviting anyone else!¡±


    Chen Cang immediately broke into a smile.


    He knew old Qin had done a lot for him, and now, it was time for him to repay him.


    When he returned with the trophy, he would shut everyone up!


    To show them how wise Director Qin was!


    Without another word, Chen Cang studied all the Skill Books he had acquired and watched over a dozen surgical videos.


    It was almost one in the morning when he finally went to sleep.


    Over on Wu Tongpu¡¯s side, arrangements had been made for the emergency team Chen Cang would join.


    This was a team that hadn¡¯t been established for long, but it wasn¡¯t inferior to other hospitals¡¯ teams, all to give Chen Cang a relatively fair opportunity.


    Wu Tongpu appreciated Chen Cang, but would not show favoritism.


    Everything was waiting for tomorrow¡¯s finals.


    The next day, as usual, Chen Cang got up early, had breakfast at the restaurant, and suddenly, his phone rang at that moment.


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen, hello, I¡¯m Shi Yang from Medtronic¡¯s China branch.


    I was just about to go to the emergency center.


    Then I thought of you having a competition today, how about we go together?


    I¡¯m familiar with the area, and getting there early would give you a good chance to get acquainted with the environment!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, recalling the lengthy conversation he had with Shi Yang the day before, who was the East China regional manager at Medtronic¡¯s China branch.


    He didn¡¯t expect the other party to be so considerate.


    With that thought, Chen Cang smiled and didn¡¯t refuse.

 Chapter 654 - Chapter 654 Chapter 654 Speed of Life and Death (1)

    ?Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Speed of Life and Death (1) Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Speed of Life and Death (1) Shi Yang chatted with Chen Cang along the way just like with an ordinary friend, talking about how well they slept last night and mentioning some of the capital¡¯s unique features.


    About work and the award Chen Cang won, not a word was brought up.


    Curiously, Chen Cang asked, ¡°Manager Shi, how is the capital¡¯s emergency center?¡±


    Shi Yang pondered for a moment, then said, ¡°To put it plainly, the capital¡¯s emergency center is essentially the capital¡¯s hub for emergency services.


    It connects and coordinates with over a hundred hospitals to form an emergency network.¡±


    ¡°Quickly based on the patient¡¯s condition, the most suitable hospital is chosen for rescue.


    The responsibility is heavy.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps its specialty capability is not the strongest in the capital, but its function is indispensable to the entire capital.


    Moreover, its level of emergency care is second to none!¡±


    Shi Yang¡¯s words gave Chen Cang a preliminary concept.


    As Shi Yang¡¯s car pulled up to the roadside, he pointed out to Chen Cang, ¡°That¡¯s it, the complex with three eighteen-story buildings, see it?¡±


    Chen Cang looked attentively, and on a huge plaque was written the words ¡°Capital Emergency Center.¡±


    The three emergency buildings stood like a triangle, balanced and imposing.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling awe-struck; an emergency center, constructed so massively, was revealing in itself!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    After getting out of the car and since it was not yet the appointed time, Chen Cang decided to take a walk around and see what the emergency department looked like here.


    But as soon as he walked over, he heard the hurried sounds of ambulances one after another, and doctors and patients were organizing rescues in an orderly fashion.


    At first glance, it looked like a bustling market.


    Yet, Chen Cang realized that in fact, each team was organizing rescue efforts in an orderly manner, from triage to the emergency room, to assisting with examinations, then to requesting consultations, and finally preparing for surgery.


    The whole process excited Chen Cang!


    When it reached eight o¡¯clock, Chen Cang, following the instructions, reported to the staff.


    Afterward, he was taken to a group.


    ¡°This is Chen Cang, he¡¯s joining your team for rescue work today¡­¡± After the staff member introduced Chen Cang and went over the day¡¯s precautions,


    everyone was from the cardiovascular surgery department, so they all understood these matters.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Li Weiyi, the leader of this group.


    There are four members in our team, mainly responsible for cardiovascular surgery emergency work.


    Today may be quite arduous.¡±


    Li Weiyi was a nearly forty-year-old man of medium stature with a pair of black-framed glasses.


    He didn¡¯t look like a doctor, more like a programmer, but he seemed very meticulous.


    The rescue team was like a tightly wound spring, continuously embarking on various emergency tasks, big and small.


    From eight o¡¯clock, as soon as self-introductions were finished, Li Weiyi heard the nurse station announce: Group 32, car accident on Chaoyang Road¡­


    organize rescue immediately.


    Chen Cang followed the team out; the patient¡¯s condition was relatively good, with trauma but stable vital signsa€¡±it wasn¡¯t anything serious.


    The entire morning, the five-person group never stopped moving.


    At noon, Li Weiyi invited Chen Cang for a box lunch, their unique emergency takeout, large in size and filling.


    Even Tang Lingling, the only female in the group, ate two whole boxes.


    The high-intensity work led to significant physical exhaustion.


    After seeing this emergency center, Chen Cang suddenly felt that his work at the provincial hospital was somewhat leisurely.


    It wasn¡¯t that Group 32, where he was stationed, was particularly tiring.


    On the contrary, Chen Cang also realized when it came to task assignment at the emergency center, Group 32 tended to be given more stable and less critical cases.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã0


    The only surgery that morning involved a patient suffering from an aortic bleeding due to a car accident.


    It appeared that Group 32 was not one of the teams for extremely critical emergency conditions.


    However, if one thought about it, for those particularly urgent rescue teams, perhaps¡­


    he wouldn¡¯t even be able to lend a hand.


    And yet, Chen Cang¡¯s performance this morning had indeed made quite an impression on his colleagues.


    The assessment period lasted only one day, ending at six in the evening.


    Chen Cang suddenly grew apprehensivea€¡±could such a team withstand the ravaging of a King-level boss?


    By noon, the nerve-racking rescue operations had eased somewhat.


    Li Weiyi told Chen Cang that accidents and the busiest times generally happen in the morning and evening, and sometimes, they feel like their real work begins after they finish their shifts.


    This brought both tears and laughter to everyone.


    Chen Cang¡¯s background in emergency response also earned him a lot of goodwill from the team.


    Just as everyone was about to rest, the emergency alarm suddenly blared.


    ¡°Save me!


    Someone¡¯s been killed!¡±


    With these words, chaos instantly erupted throughout the entire emergency hall!


    All four of them turned pale and immediately bolted towards the source of the commotion!


    Upon entering, they saw a man standing at the nurses¡¯ station, a fruit knife in hand, stabbing straight into a nurse¡¯s chest, prompting a sudden outbreak of screams from the station.


    It was the middle of the day when the hall wasn¡¯t crowded, and the nurses were sitting and eating.


    Who could have expected such a sudden and violent intrusion!


    After the knife pierced the chest, blood immediately sprayed out, staining the nurses¡¯ desk in front of him, with blood splattering into the meal in front, soaking the half-eaten blood-steamed bun!


    Everyone screamed in horror as the man stood there with a murderous look, laughing maniacally, ¡°An eye for an eye!


    It¡¯s only right, for my fathera€¡±it¡¯s all because of you!¡±


    The knife waved threateningly in his hand, while the surrounding security guards stood by, not daring to move.


    Chen Cang, witnessing this scene, instantly grew pale!


    The young nurse was not yet dead, but how long could she hold on in such a situation?


    The knife had struck her left chest, and the profuse bleeding suggested a critical emergency, not allowing for even a second of delay.


    Yet, of all the people present, no one dared to rush forward!


    Chen Cang felt a surge of adrenaline rush to his head.


    He took a power potion and charged out.


    At this moment, the arrogant man wielded his knife with brazen fearlessness.


    But Chen Cang was fast, and as he approached, the man, with a fierce smile, raised his knife towards Chen Cang.


    Although Chen Cang was strong, he rarely fought, so he could only use his arm to block, grabbing the man¡¯s arm and twisting it with force, eliciting a crisp snapping sound.


    That was followed by a heartrending scream of agony.


    Unsatisfied, Chen Cang kicked the man, sending him flying seven or eight meters, stunning everyone onlookers!


    Seeing the knife fall to the ground, the security guards immediately rushed out, leaping forward to pin the man firmly to the ground, but by then, he had already passed out from the pain!


    At this time, Chen Cang had no time to deal with the man; he bent down and picked up the nurse, who was about the same size as Lele, and shouted, ¡°To the operating room!


    ¡°Quick, to the operating room!¡±


    Finally, the people around came to their senses and immediately began to carry out rescue operations in an urgent and orderly manner!


    As Li Weiyi was about to speak to Chen Cang, he was met with a fierce shout, leaving him somewhat stunned, and as he looked into Chen Cang¡¯s eyes, he saw an unwavering determination, beyond any doubt!


    ¡°Quick, prepare the operating room!¡±

 Chapter 655 - Chapter 655 Chapter 655 Speed of Life and Death (2)

    ?Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Speed of Life and Death (2) Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Speed of Life and Death (2) At this moment, everyone realized what had happened!


    The perpetrator had stabbed the nurse with a knife, and now her life hung in the balance.


    Chen Cang carried her and sprinted directly towards the operating room!


    Li Weiyi and three others followed closely behind Chen Cang.


    Not even a minute could be wasted!


    The patient¡¯s condition was extremely critical, and she could face death at any moment.


    The operating room was on the third floor, not the first, and waiting for the elevator with a gurney was clearly not an option during the busy noon hour when the elevators were hardest to come by.


    So Chen Cang carried the injured nurse up the stairs instead.


    This scene, witnessed by all those following, was shocking.


    How heavy was Huihui?


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    Everyone was clear on that!


    She was at least 150 pounds, yet Chen Cang managed to run upstairs carrying her, moving even faster than the rest.


    How could this not be shocking?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    However, now was not the time to consider this.


    The operating room had been notified and the doors were already open!


    As soon as Wu Tongpu, who had been eating, heard the news, he put down his chopsticks and ran towards the hospital!


    Medical personnel had been injured!


    How could he just sit still?


    And it could be a fatal injury!


    The knife had stabbed into the heart and then been pulled out, inflicting double damage!


    Jiang Wenrui, the director of the first floor emergency outpatient department, turned pale when he heard that a nurse from his department had been stabbed by a patient, and he hurriedly rushed over.


    Panting, he quickly asked the head nurse, ¡°Where¡¯s Huihui?¡±


    The head nurse said anxiously, ¡°I just arrived too; it looks like she¡¯s been taken to the resuscitation room!¡±


    At that moment, a young nurse ran over, tears in her eyes, and shouted, ¡°Director, head nurse, Sister Huihui has been taken to the operating room!¡±


    ¡°It looks like she was stabbed in the heart with a knife!


    Look at the stage, it¡¯s covered in blood!¡±


    At this point, bloodstains could still be seen on the lunch boxes, medical records, computer screens, and even on a steamed bun that had been bitten into!


    When these words were spoken, they stabbed into the hearts of the two like sharp knives, causing suffocation!


    Jiang Wenrui stood up, glared at the thug with eyes filled with rage, his eyes brimming with resentment!


    The tall Jiang Wenrui grabbed the man¡¯s collar and slammed him against the wall with a bang!


    Having worked in the emergency department for a long time, he was physically fit.


    He glared with wide eyes and pinched the man¡¯s throat with the webbing of his thumb, not saying a word or making a sound, the fury in his eyes enough to bury the man alive!


    The head of the security team hurriedly called people to pull Director Jiang away!


    ¡°Director, don¡¯t be impulsive!


    It¡¯s not worth it, let¡¯s save lives first!¡±


    ¡°Right, right, right!¡±


    Jiang Wenrui¡¯s fists trembled with anger.


    This was one of his own troops, and Nurse Huihui was pregnant!


    This damn thing, it was a double loss of life!


    Thinking of this, Jiang Wenrui¡¯s eyes reddened with tears.


    He personally recruited this young girl because of her physical strength, fearlessness of hardship, cheerful personality, and she was well-liked!


    And now, she lay stabbed!


    His emotions were filled with anger, as if a volcano in his chest was about to erupt.


    Yet reason told him he couldn¡¯t do this.


    He released his grip, and the man let out a pitiful cry before collapsing to the ground.


    Jiang Wenrui frowned, ¡°What happened?¡±


    The head of the security team suddenly said, ¡°While a doctor was trying to be a hero, the man tried to stab him with the knife, but the doctor acted in self-defense and injured him!¡±


    Jiang Wenrui looked at the head nurse, pointed to the assailant, and asked, ¡°Who is this?¡±


    The head nurse replied, ¡°Feng Hongfang!


    He is the patient who was brought in for resuscitation last night.


    He was initially saved, but for some reason, he died last night, and his family has been making trouble since this morning!¡±


    Jiang Wenrui¡¯s expression changed as he instructed the head of the security team, ¡°First, take him for an exam, keep him in the hospital, call the police, and then send him to the ICU!¡±


    ¡°Right, keep the video, copy several copies!¡±


    ¡°Contact the TV station.¡±


    After rattling off these instructions, Jiang Wenrui stood up and left.


    When he came out, he asked the young nurse he had spoken to earlier, ¡°To which operating room was Huihui taken with the group?¡±


    With the day¡¯s events happening so suddenly, the young nurse was a bit nervous.


    After a moment of recollection, she said, ¡°Doctor Li Weiyi from group 32, and there¡¯s also a tall, young guy in their team.


    He was the one who saved Sister Huihui.


    He carried her and went to the operating room with Doctor Li!¡±


    Upon hearing this news, Jiang Wenrui¡¯s face suddenly changed!


    ¡°`


    This is a fucking mess!


    Group 32 is one of four newly established groups, and what¡¯s crucial is, that newcomer is likely the guy brought in today to participate in the cardiac surgery skills competition.


    How could we let Group 32 take on such a rescue!


    With this thought, Jiang Wenrui picked up the phone and called the director of emergency cardiac surgery, ¡°Old Kang, hurry to the operating room, our nurse got stabbed in the heart, goddamn hurry up!¡±


    After hanging up, he frantically made several phone calls.


    At that moment, Jiang Wenrui steeled himself and dialed Wu Tongpu¡¯s number!


    When it comes to Huihui¡¯s life, who gives a damn about face.


    ¡°Dean Wu, come quickly, Huihui is dying!¡±


    Before he could finish shouting, he saw a man dressed in white, with an authoritative expression, walking in!


    Jiang Wenrui¡¯s face immediately changed!


    ¡°Dean Wu, please go up quickly, right now¡­¡±


    Wu Tongpu nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s go together!¡±


    Jiang Wenrui nodded, ¡°Okay!¡±


    A few people headed upstairs.


    Li Weiyi, looking at Chen Cang, was fraught with anxiety and covered in cold sweat.


    To save or not to save?


    If he doesn¡¯t act, would they just watch Huihui die?


    But if he tries¡­


    What if something goes wrong?


    After all, this could be a ruptured heart, a major issue, a major surgery; he wasn¡¯t sure that he could handle it.


    But to wait?


    If they wait for the director to come, the patient could be dead.


    At that moment, Tang Lingling suddenly said, ¡°Huihui is pregnant now!¡±


    That statement shocked everyone to the core!


    Fuck!


    This is one life or two at stake!


    Fuck!


    Chen Cang¡¯s face slightly changed; he had wanted to rely on his own abilities.


    But to ensure the health of this nurse, to ensure the health of the child,


    he didn¡¯t hesitate for a moment and chose to activate Bai Qiuen!


    Bai Qiuen¡¯s arrival!


    This is a top-tier cardiac surgery expert.


    Chen Cang understood, this might be his competition, his assessment, and he didn¡¯t want to cheat.


    But at this juncture,


    What¡¯s important?


    The patient¡¯s life is more important than anything!


    If that¡¯s cheating, then so be it.


    After all, it¡¯s cheating with actual ability!


    As a level 99 top-tier boss!


    After Chen Cang¡¯s activation, his whole demeanor underwent a drastic change.


    Even Li Weiyi, who was about to speak, couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback!


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately said to the others:


    ¡°Call blood transfusion services, organize compatible blood immediately!¡±


    ¡°Intravenous cutdown, rehydrate!¡±


    ¡°Closely monitor arterial pressure and central venous pressure, correct shock!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Anesthetist, prepare for surgery!¡±


    As Chen Cang issued each medical order, they came out like military commands, compelling nods from those around.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 656 - Chapter 656 Chapter 656 Speed of Life and Death (3)

    ?Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Speed of Life and Death (3) Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Speed of Life and Death (3) Time was of the essence, and the task was urgent, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t afford to waste a single minute or second!


    Upon learning that the patient was pregnant, Chen Cang hesitated slightly, with a bit of a frown on his face.


    This really wasn¡¯t a simple matter!


    Pregnancy with heart disease is a very serious complication and one of the leading causes of death for both pregnant women and perinatal infants.


    It ranks first among non-obstetric reasons for maternal deaths.


    Similarly, due to changes in the hemodynamics during pregnancy, hypercoagulable state of the blood, and metabolic changes, the cardiac load on pregnant women is increased, which can worsen the existing heart disease or lead to complications such as heart failure compensation, acute pulmonary edema, and heart failure.


    But at this point, Huihui¡¯s heart might already have been seriously damaged, and with the additional burden of pregnancy, the difficulty of surgery, the degree of danger, and the prognosis all increased proportionally!


    Li Weiyi suddenly said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we establish extracorporeal circulation and wait for the director and the others to arrive?¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t speak, he just looked up at Li Weiyi, and instantly he was filled with shame, not daring to utter another word.


    He knew what he had said was inappropriate!


    But he was not capable of carrying out such a surgery; he could only maintain the patient¡¯s vital signs and wait for the expert chief to arrive as best as he could!


    Yet in that one glance from Chen Cang, there was so much meaning!


    After a heart rupture, the most terrifying thing isn¡¯t just the bleeding!


    The most frightening aspect is the vast amount of heart muscle cells that would die around the rupture!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    If the heart is dead, even if saved, could it still function?


    Therefore, at this moment, with every additional minute of delay, the probability and risk of death for both the patient and the unborn child increased proportionally!


    Alternatively, the risks associated with the heart dramatically escalated!


    Chen Cang glanced at the anesthesiologist and said, ¡°Intubate and prepare for anesthesia!¡±


    The anesthesiologist nodded soberly in agreement.


    At that moment, Huihui was not in shock; she was just a bit unconscious from fright.


    As he was preparing, Huihui suddenly woke up.


    Her eyes brimming with tears, upon seeing Chen Cang, she looked upon him as if he were a life-saving straw.


    ¡°Doctor!


    Please¡­¡±


    ¡°Save my child!¡±


    ¡°I beg you, please save my child¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to die, my child is only five months old, I can¡¯t die!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m okay with dying, but my child¡­¡±


    At that time, Huihui seemed to have forgotten the pain caused by her own injuries.


    The most unbearable thing for her was the child who had not yet been born.


    As a mother for the first time, she had so many expectations, so many surprises, so many aspirations, and also so many concerns!


    But at this moment, this blow shattered all her fantasies about the future.


    Confronted with extreme pain, she was utterly fearless!


    She didn¡¯t even feel where the pain was coming from!


    Because the most terrifying thing wasn¡¯t death.


    It was that her unborn child might have to die along with her.


    This was the greatest fear and sorrow!


    When she was heartbroken, the blood gushed forth.


    Chen Cang reached out voluntarily, holding her hand, and said to Huihui, ¡°Trust me!¡±


    Feeling the conviction and determination in those eyes, the sense of trust from deep within the soul, and the warmth of life emanating from that hand, Huihui suddenly felt much more relaxed and reassured.


    At this time, inside Chen Cang¡¯s soul resided a level 99 big boss; he well knew that touch, warmth, and the transfer of strength were the best methods to use right now!


    So, he held Huihui¡¯s hand.


    This was an experience, not a skill, more effective than a skill, encompassing the essence of many human relations and societal norms.


    Comforting warmth, a relaxing touch, strength that fills one with confidence!


    When Chen Cang held her hand, it was actually the most powerful treatment and the most effective solace.


    There¡¯s a saying in English: ¡°give me five,¡± which is quite cleverly similar.


    Chen Cang turned to the anesthesiologist and said,


    ¡°I¡¯ll start with local anesthesia, then you¡¯ll see how it goes and prepare for intubation for general anesthesia!


    No problem, right?¡± Chen Cang asked an extra question!


    The anesthesiologist nodded, understanding what Chen Cang meant!


    Even though curious about who this young man was and even more curious why he emanated an aura of fear,


    the most important thing at this moment was to save a life!


    What Chen Cang meant was crystal clear: at this time, Huihui was often in a low cardiac output state, extremely intolerant to anesthetic drugs!


    Cardiac arrest could easily occur during induction.


    Therefore, the best course of action for Chen Cang was to start with thoracotomy under local anesthesia and then complete general anesthesia when conditions allowed!


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, prepared for a moment, then turned, dressed in scrubs, and picked up the scalpel.


    He glanced at the anesthesiologist, ¡°Give me the anesthetic.¡±


    The anesthesiologist nodded and handed Chen Cang the prepared lidocaine for local anesthesia.


    Chen Cang looked at Lele¡¯s chest wound, weighed his options, then began to inject the anesthetic.


    After waiting a bit for the anesthetic to absorb, he made an incision in the middle of the chest!


    After opening the chest, Chen Cang glanced at Li Weiyi, ¡°Prepare the autologous blood!¡±


    Li Weiyi was startled, then instantly understood what Chen Cang meant!


    At this time, if there is not enough blood available, the next best option is to use autologous blood.


    With a good incision, the heart¡¯s four chambers and the ascending aorta were immediately exposed.


    Chen Cang hesitated slightly, then opened the pericardium.


    He said to Tang Lingling, ¡°Spread the sternum!¡±


    Tang Lingling nodded, fully exposing the surgical field.


    At this moment, as Chen Cang opened the pericardium, he immediately saw the patient¡¯s wound!


    [Ding!


    King-level boss: Cardiac Rupture Beast, a pregnant woman¡¯s heart suddenly ruptured with irregular wounds, the interventricular septum has a clear rupturea€| The wound is severe, please repair immediately!]


    Chen Cang narrowed his eyes, ready for surgery!


    The demands for cardiac hemostasis and suturing are very high!


    It directly relates to the later repair and the heart¡¯s return to normal function.


    Moreover, if the damage is to a special part, the difficulty may increase proportionally.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Like, for instance, right now!


    How much pressure does a King-level boss bring?


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t dare to imagine.


    This wound had damaged the coronary vessels, which undoubtedly was a heavy blow to the entire heart.


    As said before, the coronary arteries are the channels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart.


    If these are damaged, it leads to myocardial ischemia and necrosis!


    That would be much faster than a heart attack!


    The pre-operative preparations were ready, everyone was watching Chen Cang, because at this moment, they had lost their pillar of strength.


    Even Li Weiyi, Tang Lingling, and others were helpless with things having reached this stage.


    Is there any way back?


    The confidence and aura emanating from Chen Cang, however, made everyone around him look up to him with respect.


    Perhaps, he really had a way!


    At this moment, all hope was pinned on Chen Cang!

 Chapter 657 - Chapter 657 Chapter 657 Speed of Life and Death (4)

    ?Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Speed of Life and Death (4) Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Speed of Life and Death (4) Jiang Wenrui and Wu Tongpu hurried towards the operating room, taking three steps at a time.


    The atmosphere along the way was extremely somber!


    The entire air was exceedingly oppressive.


    After all, a staff member of their own hospital had been stabbed, and she was a pregnant woman whose life was hanging by a thread, at any moment it might be a case of one death leading to two.


    Upon entering the operating room, the head nurse and a doctor from Li Weiyi¡¯s team named Yang had been waiting for a while and quickly led the director and the dean towards the front.


    Jiang Wenrui asked, ¡°Dr.


    Yang, what¡¯s the condition of Huihui now?


    Has the surgery started yet?¡±


    Dr.


    Yang¡¯s expression was panicky, and his complexion was a kind of indescribable strangeness, ¡°Director Jiang, Dean Wu, the surgery has already begun!¡±


    Jiang Wenrui was taken aback for a moment, ¡°Who¡¯s performing it?


    Li Weiyi?¡±


    Dr.


    Yang shook his head, ¡°No, it¡¯s the doctor who came today for the skills competition, named Chen Cang!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.??


    ¡°What time is it, is this a competition?


    Is Li Weiyi eating shit?


    Are you all idiots?¡±


    ¡°Who let him do it!¡±


    Jiang Wenrui had become a doctor halfway through his career, starting out from the military.


    When he was a new recruit squad leader, he developed a set of bad habits.


    Later, he went to the military academy to study medicine, graduated and joined the military hospital, and then when the military hospital was demilitarized, as the head of the emergency department, he led by example and voluntarily gave up his military rank.


    When Wu Tongpu came to the emergency center, he took the initiative to invite Jiang Wenrui.


    Seeing the director lose his temper, Dr.


    Yang sighed; the director really had a bad temper.


    But the situation was too urgent and he still explained, ¡°Director, at that time there was no one else.


    After Dr.


    Chen saved Huihui, he immediately organized surgery!¡±


    ¡°After opening the chest, Huihui¡¯s heart was ruptured, and it had damaged the coronary artery; she was in her pregnancy, which carries an enormous risk.


    Immediate surgery was required, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable!¡±


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen had no choice, at that time we had already contacted other directors, but none could come right away!¡±


    Jiang Wenrui wanted to say something else but was directly interrupted by Wu Tongpu, ¡°Let¡¯s talk after we get there, worrying is useless!


    ??¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    I have met Dr.


    Chen, he¡¯s quite capable, he might be able to do it.¡±


    Hearing the dean speak, Jiang Wenrui could only shake his head and continue towards the operating room ahead!


    After washing hands and changing clothes.


    They entered the operating room.


    They saw Chen Cang performing surgery.


    The people around, upon seeing Jiang Wenrui and Wu Tongpu enter, nodded immediately and said, ¡°Dean, Director Jiang!¡±


    Jiang Wenrui was just about to speak to Chen Cang but was immediately stopped by Wu Tongpu!


    At this very moment!


    Chen Cang was intently focused on doing something!


    The cardiopulmonary bypass machine was being prepared, which required some time, but Chen Cang, looking at the wound on the coronary artery, had to stitch it up as quickly as possible!


    Thinking this, he turned to Li Weiyi and said, ¡°Defibrillator paddles!


    Discharge at 20 joules!¡±


    Li Weiyi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Chen Cang was saying!


    At this moment, Wu Tongpu suddenly stood up and said, ¡°Let me do it!¡±


    He had instantly judged what Chen Cang was about to do!


    Using the defibrillator paddles to induce ventricular fibrillation to control bleeding and gain some time to quickly stitch up the coronary vessels!


    This technique was not unheard of but was more often used in resuscitation cases!


    Especially under conditions where medical facilities were lacking, without access to a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, or when there was an emergency surgery required without the ability to promptly organize blood flow!


    Wu Tongpu couldn¡¯t help but be surprised by Chen Cang¡¯s creative approach, and continued speaking to Li Weiyi beside him: ¡°You all keep preparing the bypass machine, we¡¯ll stitch up the heart later!¡±


    The effect of the defibrillator paddles was clear!


    It bought Chen Cang less than a minute¡¯s time!


    But in such a brief window of time!


    Chen Cang rapidly began stitching the torn coronary artery!


    The whole process, if witnessed by those people from yesterday, would have been absolutely astonishing because even Wu Tongpu found it unbelievable at the moment!


    This was incredible!


    Even better than himself!


    Who exactly was this Chen Cang?


    Had he been hiding his true capabilities all along?


    Wu Tongpu looked up at Chen Cang and noticed an imposing presence and strong aura about him, which he felt he couldn¡¯t quite match!


    However, this was not the time to delay; Chen Cang stitched up rapidly, successfully repairing the coronary artery!


    It was only then that Chen Cang took a breath of relief, ¡°Establish the cardiopulmonary bypass, get ready to repair the heart!


    3-0 nonabsorbable sutures for me!¡±


    Chen Cang looked up, and upon suddenly seeing Wu Tongpu, was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, ¡°Dean Wu, hello!¡±


    Wu Tongpu also nodded, indicating, ¡°Shall I assist you?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Good!¡±


    A casual remark, to everyone around, sounded quite bizarre!


    That¡¯s right!


    Director Wu Tongpu volunteering to assist Chen Cang?!


    The surgery was entirely under Chen Cang¡¯s command from that point on!


    The location of the wound was awkward, near the coronary artery, and Chen Cang had just repaired the circumflex artery, so he had to be careful to avoid the coronary vessels while suturing to stop the bleeding!


    The difficulty of the operation increased even more.


    Wu Tongpu watched Chen Cang use a small pad through the deep layer of the coronary vessel, followed by intermittent mattress sutures!


    His heart immediately cried out in amazement!


    Because with this approach, he instantly avoided puncturing the coronary vessel which would lead to a myocardial infarction, effectively ensuring the success of the surgery.


    Fortunately, the rupture wasn¡¯t extensive and only required quick repair.


    However, a very important part of the surgery was to cut away the lifeless, necrotic myocardium, but because the surgery was timely, this process could be effectively minimized or even avoided!


    The entire operation was extremely smooth and successful!


    The director that Jiang Wenrui had contacted in the beginning also came in.


    When they saw Wu Tongpu assisting Chen Cang, they were immediately dumbfounded.


    What was this situation?


    However!


    They soon shut their mouths.


    Because the strength of this person was somewhat shocking to them!


    Wasn¡¯t he too strong?


    He handled every detail of the heart surgery with absolute precision, down to the last stitch and millimeter.


    What kind of powerhouse was this!


    Just the thought of it was frightening!


    As the seconds ticked by, the surgery continued to improve, and before long,


    The surgery officially ended!


    Wu Tongpu looked up at Chen Cang and couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath, ¡°What an amazing young man.¡±


    This was the most impressive young person Wu Tongpu had seen in his many years of practicing medicine.


    Without equal!


    The heart repair surgery just now had given Wu Tongpu quite the shock.


    It even made him somewhat unsure of the true extent of Chen Cang¡¯s abilities!


    As the surgery concluded,


    Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned off the heart-lung machine, he watched as the patient¡¯s vital signs quickly recovered.


    The people around immediately smiled!


    Wu Tongpu also started clapping of his own accord!


    All around, everyone began to applaud for Chen Canga€¡±if it weren¡¯t for him, this colleague would have been in grave danger.


    He also saw the wound on Huihuia€¡±if not for Chen Cang, she might have been in extreme peril at this moment.


    If it had been slightly later, it could have caused many irreversible damages!


    And Li Weiyi¡¯s team were all stunned!


    How long did this bewildered state last?


    They no longer cared.


    Li Weiyi couldn¡¯t help but inwardly sigh with a bitter smile.


    This level¡­


    Do we need to do the grading?


    Isn¡¯t this just slapping our faces?


    With Director Wu personally assisting, we are¡­


    nothing!


    However, to tell the truth, if word of this got out, they felt proud.


    After all, they had all been examiners for Chen Cang!


    And at this moment, Jiang Wenrui looked at Chen Cang and earnestly said, ¡°Doctor Chen, thank you so much!


    You are the savior of our emergency department!¡±

 Chapter 658 - Chapter 658 Chapter 658 Justice in the Heart of the People (1)

    ?Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Justice in the Heart of the People (1) Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Justice in the Heart of the People (1) At that moment, Chen Cang received a prompt from the system!


    [Ding!


    Assessment task completed, your vascular anastomosis technique has been automatically promoted to perfect level!]


    [Ding!


    Congratulations on defeating a level 80 King-tier BOSS, you have received generous rewards: 1.


    True Word Potion +3; 2.


    Level +2; 3.


    Bethune¡¯s White Coat (Gold item); 4.


    Special Training Card; 5.


    A tier-four Golden Skill Book!]


    Chen Cang was dumbfounded by such generous rewards.


    Is this the reward for defeating a level 80 King-tier boss?


    Isn¡¯t this tooa€| tooa€| too luxurious?


    Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit excited.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.?¦Ï


    Just as he was preparing to check each reward, Wu Tongpu¡¯s phone rang!


    ¡°Director Wu, there are people burning wreaths in the yard of the emergency center right now!¡±


    Wu Tongpu was stunned upon hearing this and didn¡¯t react immediately!


    ¡°What?¡±


    Medical Affairs Director Qin Huian said, ¡°A patient¡¯s family, now with a team of professional protesters, is burning wreaths in the courtyard of our emergency center!


    There¡¯s a big crowd gathered, wailing and creating a scene!¡±


    Such incidents were commonplace, and Qin Huian, having seen many, wasn¡¯t surprised but instead remained composed.


    Wu Tongpu frowned and said, ¡°You go handle it.¡±


    For minor issues like these, Wu Tongpu naturally didn¡¯t want to get involved.


    Scams were too common at the emergency center, often attempts to extort money.


    Qin Huian sighed, ¡°It¡¯s the patient who died in the emergency department early yesterday morning.


    It¡¯s said he was an old soldier, and even TV station reporters have been brought in, wanting to expose us for disrespecting an old soldier.¡±


    ¡°They also say that his brother, Feng Hongfang, came to the hospital for an explanation and was beaten into the ICU!


    They want to expose you all!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Wu Tongpu was momentarily startled!


    At that time, Chen Cang said, ¡°Director Wu, I was the one who took action.¡±


    Jiang Wenrui heard this, immediately turned around to look at Chen Cang, and said excitedly, ¡°Good lad!


    Well done!


    Such a brute deserves to be beaten to death!


    If it were up to me, I would¡¯ve dealt with him long ago!¡±


    Wu Tongpu gave Jiang Wenrui a glare, deflated.


    But both in his words and on his face, it was evident that he had a soft spot for Chen Cang!


    Wu Tongpu said, ¡°Alright, I understand.


    Contact the public security bureau and tell them that Feng Hongfang also attempted to murder medical staff, so they can handle it.¡±


    After speaking, Wu Tongpu looked at Chen Cang, thoughtfully, ¡°Chen, we¡¯ll need your cooperation on this matter, it¡¯s quite troublesome, but rest assured, we¡¯ve got your back.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, nodded, and didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    He had acted in self-defense while saving someone earlier.


    When everyone arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the outpatient department, they immediately heard a group of people wailing outside, still burning wreaths.


    There were also banners hanging, with the words: ¡°The hospital has no regard for human life!¡±


    Some were in charge of taking photographs, others of delivering speeches!


    Indeed, it seemed like a professional team of medical disrupters!


    Such a team wouldn¡¯t back down without being paid thousands.


    Chen Cang had seen such scenes in Dongyang Province as well, but they were nowhere near as professional as this; after all, this was the capital, where competition in every industry was fierce and development rapid.


    When Feng Hongyi, Feng Hongfang¡¯s brother, saw Wu Tongpu and the others, he immediately blocked their way!


    ¡°Stop!


    Give me back my brother, where have you hidden him!¡±


    Jiang Wenrui and the others didn¡¯t say a word.


    Seeing that no one was speaking, Feng Hongyi became more agitated!


    ¡°You¡¯re all cold-blooded, you don¡¯t treat your patients as humans.


    My father has died, he was a hero, he didn¡¯t die on the battlefield, but in your hospital!¡±


    ¡°And my brother, he just wanted justice for my father, and for that he was beaten into the ICU by you?


    Not even allowed a visit, are you trying to completely eradicate us?¡±


    When the surrounding journalists and media heard there was a story, they immediately gathered around!


    After all, medical disputes are always the most concerning, enjoyable, and sought-after news for the people, especially when hospitals are accused of malpractice and overcharging.


    This is definitely a hotspot!


    Jiang Wenrui couldn¡¯t listen anymore and said, ¡°We are very sorry for the passing of Mr.


    Feng, but medical treatment has its own limitations, and nobody can guarantee a 100% cure rate!¡±


    ¡°Your brother premeditated the murder of our medical staff.


    In the struggle, he stabbed our nurse, a 26-year-old mother, right in the heart.


    Is this how he seeks justice?


    Does he need to carry a knife for that?¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, our staff came close to getting stabbed while protecting the injured nurse, but it was merely self-defense.


    We will let the police administer justice for everything that happened!¡±


    As Jiang Wenrui was about to speak, Wu Tongpu stopped him.


    Looking at the crowd of media, Wu Tongpu said, ¡°I am the head of the emergency center, Wu Tongpu.


    Today, I want to tell you that our hospital will not seek a peaceful resolution.


    I will seek justice for all our medical workers and the injured staff.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?0


    We¡¯ll see you in court!¡±


    ¡°As for the money?


    Our hospital would rather spend it all on lawyers than give you a single penny!¡±


    ¡°Burn your wreaths brighter, so all the patients who have died in our hospital can see that there are still living demons wreaking havoc in the world!¡±


    ¡°To every participant, including those familiar faces and medical disturbance teams, we will not let any of you off!¡±


    ¡°I, Wu Tongpu, am laying it out here today: not a single one of you can be spared!¡±


    Wu Tongpu was very well-known, and many people on the scene recognized him!


    Upon hearing his resonant words, they were somewhat moved.


    And the medical disturbance teams suddenly felt a twinge of guilt.


    Even Feng Hongyi was taken aback!


    He had not expected such a development.


    He just asked Feng Hongfang to make a fuss, but he never imagined that he would end up stabbing the medical staff and provoke Wu Tongpu¡¯s real anger!


    This old man was not to be trifled with!


    But now, it was like an arrow drawn to the bowstring, and it had to be released!


    Feng Hongyi sneered, ¡°So you have the right to speak all the reasoning?


    I want to see my brother!¡±


    At this moment, more than a dozen police officers arrived suddenly.


    Seeing the commotion, they sighed.


    Medical disturbances!


    Such a headache, these people are like flies, constantly coming back no matter how many times you swat them away, persistently testing the limits of law and morality.


    The chief of the Public Security Bureau, Niu Zheng, came in person.


    Upon seeing Wu Tongpu, he nodded and said, ¡°Director Wu.¡±


    Wu Tongpu nodded and replied, ¡°Chief Niu, hello.¡±


    Niu Zheng turned to the crowd and shouted loudly, ¡°Everyone disperse, or else we¡¯ll take you away for disrupting public order and the normal operation of the hospital!


    Also, who¡¯s burning the wreaths?¡±


    After finishing his words, he looked at Wu Tongpu, ¡°Director Wu, we need to understand the situation.¡±


    Wu Tongpu nodded, ¡°Right, this way.¡±


    Jiang Wenrui glanced at Feng Hongyi and said to Chief Niu, ¡°Chief Niu, we have prepared all the surveillance footage, video recordings, testimonies, and evidence!¡±

 Chapter 659 - Chapter 659 Chapter 659 Justice in the Heart of the People (2)

    ?Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Justice in the Heart of the People (2) Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Justice in the Heart of the People (2) Feng Hongyi also followed into the room and, to tell the truth, he was not very familiar with the process.


    All he really wanted was to extort some money!


    But he never expected it to go this far!


    Wu Tongpu was actually very firm about going to courta€¡±didn¡¯t he realize the consequences of this matter?


    Inside the surveillance room, the staff brought up the video footage.


    Suddenly!


    The entire course of events was presented in full.


    After Feng Hongfang entered, he started causing a scene, shouting loudly and ranting at the nurses.


    Latter on, after Huihui said a few words and the security guard came out, Feng Hongfang got up and left.


    About half an hour later, right around lunchtime, Feng Hongfang walked into the nurse¡¯s station and started to assault Huihui, who was eating!


    The process was incredibly brutal!


    Seeing this footage for the first time made the hands of Wu Tongpu, Jiang Wenrui, and others tremble!


    Even Chen Cang felt a tingling on his scalp!


    How can you defend against something like this?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    It¡¯s utterly indefensible!


    The screen paused.


    The few policemen and the recorder behind Niu Zheng were all dumbfounded.


    This kind of blatant offensive behavior was simply outrageous!


    And it was also chilling to the bone.


    At this point, everyone involuntarily furrowed their brows.


    It was infuriating!


    Everyone turned to stare at Feng Hongyi, their angry glares could tear him to shreds!


    The crime had already been established!


    What could you possibly argue in your defense?


    Unable to hold back, Feng Hongyi said, ¡°This is a natural reaction.


    Think about it, you¡­


    you¡­


    would you not be impulsive if your father died?¡±


    ¡°My father was perfectly healthy, and then after just one night, he was gone?¡±


    ¡°My father was also a retired veteran, he didn¡¯t die on the battlefield, yet he died here in your care.


    I¡¯m going to report this publicly, I want the whole nation to judge this!¡±


    Feng Hongyi was holding onto a very strong card!


    Indeed, his father was a retired veteran with merits to his name.


    Such a person would evoke heroic sentiment on the internet!


    He would attract the sympathy and gratitude of many different people.


    Moreover, after retiring from the military, Mr.


    Feng led an obscure life at the grassroots level, forgoing any glory or benefits he was entitled to for his entire life.


    His generation held true beliefs!


    They believed that they were answering the nation¡¯s call by devoting themselves to rural construction.


    As they got older, the country took good care of these individuals, providing them with specific free medical care and life subsidies, and so on.


    Such an old hero, if put on the internet, would truly cause a stir!


    This was Feng Hongyi¡¯s biggest trump card!


    There were already some people in society who harbored hostility toward hospitalsa€¡±if you combined the two issues, it could enrage countless people!


    Feng Hongyi could imagine the horrifying impact!


    Couldn¡¯t the hospital?


    This was his biggest reliance!


    It all came down to extorting money, after all.


    And his old father was very valuable.


    In fact, in his twisted mind, he thought death could be more profitable than life!


    So he had even sought out a team of troublemakers at the hospital to fan the flames.


    The banners carried stories of his father¡¯s heroic deeds and other accolades.


    Even the photos were all prepared!


    It was clearly a well-planned scheme.


    Chief Niu almost burst into flames when he heard Feng Hongyi pointing at him and talking about his father¡¯s death.


    ¡°What¡¯s with that tone!¡±


    Feng Hongyi snorted coldly, ¡°I¡¯m just giving an example, why would you get angry!¡±


    Chief Niu was so angry, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with this kind of person.


    Feng Hongyi continued, ¡°Rewind it, I want to see how my brother got hurt, by what right did you hit him, if anyone should be doing the arresting or hitting, it should be the public security!¡±


    Hearing this, Chen Cang always felt something was off and couldn¡¯t help but give Feng Hongyi a cold look.


    Seeing a young guy like Chen Cang glaring at him, Feng Hongyi sneered, ¡°What are you staring at?


    What, you¡¯re the one who hit my brother?


    Did you pay for the medical bills?


    What about the lost wages, isn¡¯t that money too?


    Let¡¯s keep things separate, shall we?¡±


    Chen Cang snorted coldly, but didn¡¯t speak.


    Feng Hongyi scoffed, ¡°Pathetic!¡±


    Seeing this, Niu Zheng immediately said, ¡°Are you trying to stir up trouble and provoke us, should I just take you away?¡±


    Feng Hongyi laughed, ¡°I haven¡¯t committed any crime, coward, relying on the police like that.¡±


    The voice was very soft, but Chen Cang and the others could hear it.


    Everyone couldn¡¯t be bothered with him; Niu Zheng was helpless against this type of thug who was a regular at the station, involved in gambling, brawling, you name it, it¡¯s hard to imagine how the old man raised such blockheads.


    Everyone turned a blind eye because of the old man¡¯s connections.


    The footage continued to play.


    Suddenly, everyone saw a man appear on the screen, running out at breakneck speed, snatching away Huihui.


    At that moment, Feng Hongfang suddenly pulled out a knife and swung it at Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang instinctively raised his hand to block it and, on impulse, kicked out.


    Suddenly!


    The next scene left everyone present in shock.


    With a slight twist, Chen Cang twisted Feng Hongfang¡¯s arm like a pretzel, and it snapped instantly!


    The surveillance had no sound, only showing the distorted figure of Feng Hongfang as the knife fell to the ground; Chen Cang simply kicked it away casually!


    Very casually!


    Because Chen Cang was genuinely afraid that a kick might kill him!


    The power drug was no joke.


    But Chen Cang¡¯s casual kick sent Feng Hongfang flying seven or eight meters!


    This sight left everyone dumbfounded.


    Even Jiang Wenrui and Niu Zheng widened their eyes, glancing at Chen Cang and then at his foot, feeling a bit apprehensive.


    Was that some kind of superhuman kick?


    A kick flying seven or eight meters, even the soldiers might not have such strength!


    What immense power.


    ?¦Ï¦Í¨À¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Everyone in the room was stunned.


    They couldn¡¯t help but keep half a step away from Chen Cang.


    Whereas Feng Hongyi was outright dumbfounded.


    He hadn¡¯t expected the young man to be so fierce; he looked so calm, how could he be so ruthless!


    Thinking of his own words from just before, Feng Hongyi suddenly got scared and stood in place, thinking it over he still felt it safer to be near Chief Niu.


    He began to hope that Chen Cang hadn¡¯t heard his taunting¡­


    After all, such a ruthless person was too damn terrifying.


    The rhythm of that kick could kill someone.


    However¡­


    Feng Hongfang suddenly snapped out of it, right!


    Wasn¡¯t this an opportunity?


    Suddenly his expression changed, tears clouding his eyes, he said loudly, ¡°Chief Niu, you must seek justice for me, my brother got kicked flying by this thug, his arm¡­


    it¡¯s been twisted off, this is too brutal!¡±


    ¡°There must be punishment!¡±


    ¡°A strict punishment!¡±


    ¡°Is there no law left.¡±


    Chief Niu looked at Chen Cang and said, ¡°Young comrade, I guess you¡¯ll need to come back with us to make a record.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, without refusing!


    From the looks of it, this was definitely self-defense, after all, Feng Hongfang was wielding a knife at him, it wouldn¡¯t be right if this was considered illegal.


    Wu Tongpu looked at Chen Cang and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Xiao Chen, I will see to it that you get justice in this matter!¡±

 Chapter 660 - Chapter 660 Chapter 660 Justice in the Heart of the People (3)

    ?Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Justice in the Heart of the People (3) Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Justice in the Heart of the People (3) Feng Hongfang was also brought out from the ICU.


    Now his upper arm was shattered in several places, and his abdomen had injuries of varying degrees.


    But, he had now committed a crime!


    Intentional infliction of injury.


    Feng Hongfang was now under police control, being monitored and investigated while awaiting the outcome after treatment.


    However, at this time, something interesting happened!


    Feng Hongyi refused to pay any of Feng Hongfang¡¯s medical expenses.


    ¡°Why should I!


    My brother was injured by your hospital¡¯s staff, and we are to pay the medical bills, is this a joke?¡±


    ¡°I tell you, starting from tomorrow, the incident with my father and brother will spread online, and your hospital¡¯s reputation will be absolutely ruined!¡±


    ¡°I want the whole world to see your disgusting true colors, and I also want the whole world to see the truth!¡±


    ¡°This is too much to bear!¡±


    Feng Hongyi stood in the yard of the hospital, shouting loudly!


    At this time, Feng Hongfang in the ward was wailing non-stop, totally unresponsive to any questions.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    And at this time, Feng Hongyi, staring at Wu Tongpu, said, ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t understand the law, we have people here who do!¡±


    At that moment, a man emerged from the crowd and said to Chen Cang, ¡°We need to see the medical report for Feng Hongyi, I now suspect this doctor also has the potential to harm people maliciously.


    Mingming had already subdued Feng Hongfang, so why continue to kick him away?¡±


    ¡°This is no longer self-defense, it already exceeds the bounds of excessive defense and has caused malicious injury!¡±


    Upon hearing the man¡¯s words, Feng Hongyi¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Hear that?


    Malicious injury!


    Excessive defense, I am going to sue you!¡±


    Feigning a breakdown, Feng Hongyi started wailing, ¡°My life is so hard, how did I encounter such a hospital!¡±


    ¡°I will upload your deeds to the internet tomorrow!¡±


    ¡°You are really pushing me too far!¡±


    Seeing Feng Hongyi¡¯s face, Chen Cang felt sick to his stomach.


    Wu Tongpu, however, seemed hesitant this time.


    If Chen Cang hadn¡¯t been involved, he certainly would have gone head-to-head against these hospital troublemakers!


    But what now?


    Chen Cang was a hero, after all!


    He was the one who saved Huihui.


    Such a person should not be caught up in a legal case.


    Wu Tongpu had been a doctor all his life and naturally knew this kind of trouble was sticky, clinging to you like cling wrap.


    And the skill of this young man, Chen Cang, was also too powerful, wasn¡¯t it?


    Just how powerful was that kick.


    The medical report hadn¡¯t come out yet, but¡­


    Wu Tongpu couldn¡¯t be sure either.


    He couldn¡¯t help but shake his head at that thought.


    But Feng Hongfang¡¯s case absolutely could not be settled privately; this was now a matter of principle and a line that couldn¡¯t be crossed.


    If someone dared to directly stab medical staff with a knife in the hospital, what wouldn¡¯t they dare to do?


    Just at this moment, suddenly a man pushed through the crowd.


    He was panicking, speaking hurriedly, ¡°Director Jiang¡­


    Dean Wu, how is my wife?¡±


    The man was wearing a white coat, clearly having just run over from the hospital ward.


    His face was full of worry and anxiety!


    He had just gone to perform a rescue, and upon hearing news of his wife, was shocked stiff.


    Buta€| there was no choice.


    He had somehow managed to save the patient he was resuscitating and had settled them before rushing over.


    His face showed confusion and shock!


    It was also filled with anger and unwillingness!


    Clenching his fists tightly, he had no idea where to direct his punches.


    His child was only five months old!


    His wife had been so good to him and to his parents¡­


    Last night they were still lovingly picking out names for the child, filled with fantasies about the future.


    And today, he received this terrible news!


    Seeing Dean Wu and Jiang Wenrui remain silent, Xiao Zhenhai suddenly started crying and then burst into hysterical laughter.


    He felt so unwilling!


    He turned around and glared at the group of hospital troublemakers.


    Screaming his lungs out, he bellowed!


    ¡°Why!¡±


    ¡°Why do we save you, and then you come and attack us?¡±


    ¡°Just because we are doctors, must we save you?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°We¡¯re fucking humans too!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re also flesh and blood, my wife¡­


    she¡¯s pregnant!¡±


    ¡°Where is your conscience?¡±


    As he spoke, Xiao Zhenhai cried out in heart-wrenching pain, punching himself!


    ¡°Why did I study medicine, why did I study medicine, I¡¯ve saved so many people, who will save my wife!


    Who will save my son!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m asking you!¡±


    ¡°Answer me, will you?¡±


    ¡°Who will come to my rescue!


    You group of medical troublemakers, do you have no conscience at all!¡±


    ¡°Do you wish for the world to be in chaos?¡±


    ¡°Won¡¯t your wives, parents, and children get sick?¡±


    At this point, Li Weiyi ran out and directly supported Xiao Zhenhai: ¡°Old Xiao, it¡¯s okay, Huihui is fine, nothing¡¯s wrong!¡±


    At that time, it was just three o¡¯clock in the afternoon.


    The incident with Huihui completely enraged all the medical staff in the hospital.


    A large crowd came down from the upper floors!


    A hundred people, two hundred people, three hundred people¡­


    five hundred people!


    Doctors, nurses, densely packed, stood in the yard!


    They just stood there!


    Gradually, more and more people joined!


    Over seven hundred!


    Over eight hundred!


    The situation was beyond control!


    There were many people at the Emergency Center Hospital, including medical staff, interns, graduate students, temporary workers¡­


    and so on, nearly 4000 people in total!


    More and more medical personnel came down into the vast courtyard!


    The stream of people in white continuously converged!


    Slowly gathering into a vast ocean!


    Over two thousand people stood together in the yard, silent protestors!


    And more than thirty idle ambulances, with their sirens blaring, parked around.


    The scene was incredibly moving!


    All the medical personnel were silent, slowly coming together!


    This power was truly becoming more and more awe-inspiring, increasingly uncontrollable!


    At this moment, everyone inside the circle panicked.


    The medical troublemakers, looking at this crowd, trembled with fear.


    The scene was too impressive.


    The visual impact was astonishing to everyone!


    In this moment, all the medical staff stood heart to heart, thousands of eyes intently staring at the several dozen people present!


    No one spoke!


    No one even made a sound!


    This was a force, a silent resistance!


    We don¡¯t resist not because we don¡¯t want to!


    We just have many beloved people waiting for us to save them!


    We don¡¯t act impulsively, not wanting¡­


    not wanting to make numerous lives pay the price for our personal feelings.


    We are silent!


    Not because we are afraid to speak out!


    But because we have more important things to do.


    We cannot let you troublemakers disrupt the medical order of the entire society.


    Our tolerance is not due to fear!


    Our silence is not consent.


    But we don¡¯t want to make an already anxious world even more uneasy!


    But this moment!


    We need to make ourselves heard.


    We are doctors, not gods!


    Without the white coats, we are ordinary people!

 Chapter 662 - Chapter 662 Chapter 662 Go Out, the Meeting is in Progress!

    ?Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Go Out, the Meeting is in Progress!


    Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Go Out, the Meeting is in Progress!


    Many people arrived at the cardiac surgery ward of the Capital Emergency Medical Center Hospital.


    Huihui had woken up.


    Her face still bore that chubby, smiling expression.


    Lying there without moving, but with her eyes squinting adorably when she smiled.


    Looking at this grown girl with affection, Jiang Wenrui suddenly felt that he could not express the words of worry or apology he had and instead, just like before, he couldn¡¯t help but make a joke, ¡°Huihui, now you can finally rest properly, can¡¯t you?¡±


    Huihui¡¯s smile grew even brighter.


    Sitting by her side, Xiao Zhenhai clasped Huihui¡¯s hand, feeling a sense of relief like having survived a disaster.


    ¡°Huihui, from now on, whatever you want to eat, I¡¯ll buy it for you, cook it for you, you don¡¯t have to diet anymore.¡±


    ¡°Being a bit chubby is quite nice, really!¡±


    As he spoke, his nose tingled with emotion, ¡°As long as you¡¯re alive and well, no matter what, I¡¯ll love you.¡±


    Seeing her husband like this, tears streamed down from the corners of Huihui¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Zhenhai, they always said I wasn¡¯t good enough for you, said I was fat and stupid, and not sharp either.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Now, I¡¯m¡­


    even less deserving of you,¡± whispered the feeble voice in Xiao Zhenhai¡¯s ear.


    How many times had this man, who had never frowned in the face of countless critical patients, cried today?


    Turning around, Huihui looked at Chen Cang, ¡°I remember you¡­


    you saved me, thank you for saving me.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°It¡¯s fine, glad to be of service.¡±


    Suddenly, Jiang Wenrui said, ¡°Huihui, after you¡¯re better, go home and have a child.


    Come back to work after maternity leave.


    Consider this as giving you an extra vacation.¡±


    Whenever Huihui¡¯s chubby face smiled, her eyes would squint.


    Wu Tongpu also nodded, ¡°After you have your child, consider working in the nursing department.


    They need a deputy director there.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Huihui¡¯s eyes widened in shock, ¡°Director Jiang¡­


    don¡¯t you want me anymore?¡±


    With that said, tears began to flow.


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenrui immediately felt softer, his nose tingling as if he had caught a cold, ¡°It¡¯s just that we¡¯re taking your health into consideration.


    ?0¦Í??.?¦Ï


    You can¡¯t work night shifts anymore, and you should take good care of the child in the future.¡±


    ¡°Besides, no matter where you work, it¡¯s all the same.


    Huihui, you must comply with the organization¡¯s arrangements.¡±


    Huihui choked up, unable to say a word, her round face full of reluctance, ¡°I¡­


    I love emergency medicine, I want to do clinical work, I don¡¯t want to be in the back¡­


    ¡±


    ¡°Director, I¡¯m not afraid, I¡¯m really not.


    President, once I¡¯m well, I can still work on the front line.


    Please don¡¯t put me in the back¡­


    ¡± she pleaded.


    Her words pierced everyone¡¯s hearts like needles.


    Such a good person!


    Why must it be someone like her who gets hurt?


    Looking at Huihui, Xiao Zhenhai shook his head, ¡°Huihui, actually, I¡¯ve had this thought for a long time now.


    It¡¯s already hard for me on the front line.


    Aside from everyone else, we also have our own little family to think of!¡±


    ¡°The child is almost here, you want to send them to your hometown?¡±


    Huihui lay there, saying nothing, her eyes closed, letting the tears flow.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Seeing this, everyone sighed, and after some comforting, they also gave Xiao Zhenhai a break.


    They wanted him to spend some quality time with his wife, to take good care of Huihui.


    Just as Wu Tongpu left the ward, he received a call from the hospital office.


    ¡°President Wu, a leader from the Health Commission was looking for you just now.


    You didn¡¯t pick up the phone, so he went directly to your office and is waiting at the door for you.¡±


    After hearing this, Wu Tongpu paused for a moment, deep in thought.


    ¡°Tell him to wait,¡± he said.


    With a single statement, he hung up the phone, leaving everyone stunned.


    Jiang Wenrui looked at the president with some admiration.


    Wu Tongpu was indeed a force to be reckoned with!


    But his reputation wasn¡¯t built on flattery, it was earned through battles!


    In the great floods of the nineties, he had come to the front lines as a member of the medical support team.


    In the year 2000, in response to the nation¡¯s call, he volunteered in Xinjiang for two years!


    During the outbreak in 2003, just after becoming a director, he led a group of people to the front lines without a second thought.


    He even distinguished himself during the Wenchuan earthquake!


    Such a person could not be suppressed by a mere position.


    Firm and unyielding, his iron will was cast with the spirit of a hero.


    With a single phrase!


    ¡°Tell him to wait,¡± he declared.


    Everyone actually knew what was happening.


    With such a major incident occurring at the emergency center, and a group of hospital staff gathered together, it was certain that someone had already reported it.


    Moreover, Wu Tongpu had also made some inappropriate comments, so the relevant authorities immediately sent people over.


    After all, once those remarks were uploaded online, they would inevitably be amplified by those with ulterior motives.


    Just like what the troublemakers at the hospital said yesterday!


    They have several hundred Weibo influencers, several hundred WeChat public accounts, and self-media promotion channels.


    These are the tools and camps of retaliation that those with intentions use for profit.


    This was why Wu Tongpu left him hanging!


    Jiang Wenrui couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Leadera€| would this not be good?¡±


    Wu Tongpu¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, ¡°Jiang Wenrui, to think you¡¯ve been a soldier, I admired your passionate spirit and that¡¯s why I made you the director.


    Have you become like this now?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the leader being here?


    Just because a leader is here, I won¡¯t work?


    Just because a leader is here, I won¡¯t hold meetings?


    Or do I stop performing surgeries because the leader is here?¡±


    ¡°Come on!


    Let¡¯s have a meeting!¡±


    Having said that, Wu Tongpu directly picked up the phone, notifying the hospital office and all department heads that those who could come must come, and those who couldn¡¯t should have someone bring a recording pen!


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    He had always believed that someone like Old Wu was a shrewd person who weighed the pros and cons, a real mastermind!


    To think he was also a man of temperament!


    He even had a stubborn streak, which actually seemed somewhat endearing?


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Guan Jingshan was completely dumbfounded!


    And the staff in the office of the hospital administration were also awkward and confused!


    Becausea€|


    The leaders from the health commission were right there by their side!


    Guan Jingshan felt like laughing from his anger, thinking, Wu Tongpu is really such an ass.


    ¡°Just let him wait, right?¡±


    Why did this sentence sound so irritating to the ear?


    After a while, a staff member¡¯s phone rang, ¡°Thisa€| leader, the dean is organizing a meetinga€|¡±


    Guan Jingshan was furious.


    There was clearly nothing important going on, yet he was left hanging there.


    After all these years, his ill-temper could not change a bit?


    With that thought, Guan Jingshan said angrily, ¡°I¡¯ll go too, I want to see what kind of meeting he¡¯s holding.¡±


    The staff member was totally confused.


    Inside the large conference room.


    Wu Tongpu looked at everyone and said, ¡°Everyone knows about today¡¯s events, the issue is very serious and the impact is extremely negative!¡±


    ¡°At today¡¯s meeting, the focus is to discuss the blacklist I talked about today.¡±


    ¡°What I¡¯m talking about is discussing how the blacklist should be run, not whether it should be run or not.¡±


    People exchanged glances.


    Truthfully, not all the hospital leaders were like Wu Tongpu.


    Many of them preferred to smooth things over, not wanting to stir up trouble.


    Better to avoid trouble than to seek it out.


    But Wu Tongpu was on the warpath, and no one could get through to him.


    It was right at this moment that Guan Jingshan walked straight in.


    Wu Tongpu fixed his gaze on him and immediately said, ¡°Get out, we¡¯re having a meeting!¡±


    Guan Jingshan was dumbfounded!


    I meana€|

 Chapter 664 - Chapter 664 Chapter 664 Why a Perfect Score

    ?Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Why a Perfect Score?


    (Added 2 for Alliance Hierarch Soft-Spoken Little Fairy) Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Why a Perfect Score?


    (Added 2 for Alliance Hierarch Soft-Spoken Little Fairy) Today, the atmosphere in the venue lacked the usual cheerfulness.


    Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, sitting there, discussing the incident that had occurred at the emergency center that very day.


    Such things happen from time to time; it wasn¡¯t a rare occurrence.


    The competitors, including Meng Xi, had returned one after another, sitting on their chairs, patiently waiting, their minds a whirlwind of thoughts.


    When Chen Cang stepped out to hail a taxi, his phone rang.


    It was Shi Yang.


    ¡°Hello?


    Chen Cang, have you returned to the hotel?¡±


    Chen Cang: ¡°I¡¯m at the entrance of the emergency center, about to leave.¡±


    Shi Yang chuckled, ¡°What a coincidence, I¡¯m nearby too.


    Wait for me two minutes; I¡¯ll give you a ride.¡±


    Two minutes later, Shi Yang¡¯s car stopped by the side of the road, and after Chen Cang got in, he quickly expressed his thanks.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Suddenly, Shi Yang said, ¡°I heard something happened today?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡±


    Hearing this, Shi Yang immediately asked anxiously, ¡°Is it serious?¡±


    Chen Cang felt somewhat relieved: ¡°No, the rescue was timely!¡±


    After hearing that, Shi Yang cursed under his breath in anger: ¡°Those damn bastards, they really have no shame.¡±


    Chen Cang sighed: ¡°There is still a long way to go.¡±


    Shi Yang also shook his head helplessly: ¡°After I graduated, I worked at Xiehe for five years, and I couldn¡¯t stand the frustration, so I took an opportunity to get into the medical device field.


    Later, I joined Medtronic and worked my way up to the position of General Manager for the East China region over six years.¡±


    ¡°At first, I thought being a doctor would be prestigious, respected, and well-paid, but it turned out to be just so-so.


    It wasn¡¯t until I joined the pharmaceutical company that I realized how in demand my Xiehe Ph.D.


    was!¡±


    ¡°In the hospital, I was just a junior resident, nothing at all.


    It sounds cool to say you¡¯re from Xiehe, but in that circle, you¡¯re really nothing.¡±


    ¡°But when I joined the pharmaceutical company, I found that my Xiehe education and experience were highly valued.


    Essentially, I would switch jobs every two years, and in a few years, I had made it to the position of General Manager for the East China region.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    Before turning forty, I had earned what I would have made in a lifetime as a doctor.


    I think it was worth it.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, now, if anyone messes with me, I¡¯ll take them down directly.


    Everyone is human; why should I indulge them?


    Why should I be held hostage by morality, as though I owe them anything?


    I think my current situation is quite good!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded but didn¡¯t say anything.


    Shi Yang¡¯s words were meant for Chen Cang, but they were also for himself, as a reassurance that he had no regrets.


    After chatting for a bit, Shi Yang drove Chen Cang to the hotel entrance and suddenly said, ¡°By the way, Chen Cang, I¡¯ve brought you some local specialties as gifts.


    Give me your address; my company¡¯s An Yang branch is sending a shipment tonight.


    I¡¯ll have it delivered on their way, and I¡¯ll make sure it gets to your home tomorrow.¡±


    Chen Cang quickly declined: ¡°Brother Shi Yang, that¡¯s too kind; it¡¯s really not necessary.¡±


    Shi Yang laughed and shook his head: ¡°It¡¯s nothing expensive, just a few roast ducks and some snacks and drinks.


    It¡¯s not about the value, just a token of my regard.¡±


    After some back-and-forth, Shi Yang said with a smile, ¡°I just take a liking to you and want to make friends.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Upon seeing Chen Cang¡¯s return, Meng Xi was immediately relieved, ¡°Are you okay?¡±


    Chen Cang frowned: ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I be?¡±


    Meng Xi, concerned, said, ¡°I heard there was an injury at the emergency center, and I was worried it was you!¡±


    Meng Xi liked to joke around, her personality fairly affable, a trait largely influenced by over a decade of living in the United States.


    In truth, she seldom joked with strangers and always maintained a sense of distance, her self-protective instincts strong.


    However, with Chen Cang and others she was familiar with, she often made more jokes, sometimes even letting her mouth run wild, saying whatever came to mind.


    Chen Cang understood this and didn¡¯t find it odd; he simply laughed it off.


    When she learned of the incident, she too was extremely worried, and her calls went unanswered.


    Seeing that Chen Cang was unharmed, Meng Xi breathed a sigh of relief.


    It was at this moment that Wu Tongpu ascended to the stage and, looking at the crowd, said, ¡°Everyone, please quiet down.¡±


    As soon as the crowd saw Wu Tongpu, they immediately fell silent.


    The incident had occurred at the emergency center, and as Wu Tongpu was the director there, everyone believed he would provide an answer to today¡¯s happenings.


    Looking at every person present below, Wu Tongpu said, ¡°Let¡¯s take care of business first, and then I will share some good news with you all.¡±


    Upon hearing this, anticipation immediately rose among the crowd.


    Although they did not know what the good news was, everyone was aware that it was related to today¡¯s medical disturbance.


    With this thought, the crowd began to look forward to it.


    When it came to the finals, everyone also started to get curious.


    Who could it be?


    Could it be Chen Cang?


    The handsome young dark horse who scored full marks in three consecutive rounds this year!


    Or could it be Chen Cang¡¯s teacher?


    Originally, Meng Xi did not have such strong popularity, after all, her surgeries weren¡¯t that eye-catching and were of the more innovative kind.


    But after people found out that Meng Xi was Chen Cang¡¯s mentor, her stock soared!


    Many also felt that it wasn¡¯t out of the realm of possibility.


    And then there were the veteran contestants, Sikong and Ding Yu.


    Peng Lu¡¯s elimination, though unfortunate, was not in the least bit undeserved.


    Chen Cang¡¯s skills were very strong!


    His cardiothoracic vascular surgeries were definitely the strongest among everyone.


    But today¡¯s competition was about emergency and overall clinical skills, and it wouldn¡¯t just be cardiovascular surgeries like now.


    What is emergency?


    It¡¯s where anything can happen.


    Any accident and patient are possible, testing comprehensive strength, clinical ability, and adaptability.


    This requires a wealth of clinical experience.


    After all, Chen Cang was still too young; he might be skilled in one type of surgery, but¡­


    it ultimately required a process.


    The hostess, upon seeing the results in her hand, was momentarily taken aback.


    Curiously, she glanced at Chen Cang, surprised that he had scored another 100 points.


    Since the inception of the clinical ability segment, there had never been a perfect score because in clinical practice, it¡¯s very hard to achieve absolute full marks.


    The judges below, seeing the hostess suddenly stutter, also became curious.


    Was there something amiss?


    Only to hear the hostess loudly say, ¡°Honestly, I was a bit shocked when I saw the scores just now, and I believe you all will be too when you see them!¡±


    After saying that, the hostess pointed to the big screen, ¡°Please look at the big screen!¡±


    All the audience, candidates, and experts curiously looked over.


    At this moment, Qin Yueming was still a bit nervous; he hoped that someone from Dongyang would make it into the top three!


    Just then, the rankings and scores flashed up instantaneously.


    The crowd looked up, and they were instantly dumbfounded!


    ¡°First place: Chen Cang, 100 points!¡±


    The crowd was dumbstruck!


    How could there be a perfect score?


    Suddenly, there was a buzz of discussion below!


    ¡°Can you even get a hundred points in this kind of competition?¡±


    ¡°Yeah!


    It¡¯s the first time in history!¡±


    ¡°Could there be some sort of rigging involved?¡±


    ¡°The person in second place only has 80 points, isn¡¯t¡­


    the gap too big?¡±


    ¡°Right!


    What kind of gap is that?¡±

 Chapter 666 - Chapter 666 Chapter 666 The Number One in the World

    ?Chapter 666: Chapter 666: The Number One in the World Chapter 666: Chapter 666: The Number One in the World Wu Tongpu looked at those present and said, ¡°If it hadn¡¯t been for Chen Cang, today¡¯s assault on a doctor could have really turned into murdering a doctor!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang¡¯s performance today was remarkable, and even I will say that if I had been decades younger, I might have been able to do the same, but now¡­


    even I don¡¯t dare to try.¡±


    ¡°I hope everyone protects themselves in their future work!¡±


    After hearing this, everyone fell silent.


    About a few minutes later, Wu Tongpu continued, ¡°Alright, in fact, we should trust the country, trust the people.


    These things shouldn¡¯t affect our determination and passion to practice medicine.


    Every issue requires ongoing development and improvement.


    We are actually the pioneers of medicine.¡±


    ¡°With our generation¡¯s continuous attempts and efforts, the system of the medical field and its laws and regulations will also be perfected.¡±


    ¡°Next, let me share some good news.¡±


    At this point, everyone perked up their ears, somewhat expectantly.


    Wu Tongpu, with a look of excitement, said, ¡°Today¡¯s incident has also been given great importance by our Health Commission.


    After discussion, it was decided to use our hospital as a base for the trial implementation of a blacklist, and to set up a police station inside the hospital to severely crack down on lawbreakers.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?0


    We will keep perfecting this plan.


    We hope to find a medical system that fits our special socialist society soon.¡±


    Upon these words, the crowd immediately became excited!


    The trial implementation of a blacklist was the dream of many.


    But the difficulty was great, and there were even more obstacles.


    Using one hospital as the trial base was, on one hand, probably to enhance deterrence and, on the other hand, to protect the hospital.


    The award ceremony proceeded promptly, and indeed, there was coverage from the central television!


    The only disappointment was:


    [Ding!


    Task failed, Meng Xi did not achieve second place!]


    [Ding!


    Meng Xi achieved sixth place, reward reduced, gained favorability +30, one lucky bag.]


    Chen Cang shook his head, this unimpressive Teacher Meng.


    But actually, Chen Cang had expected this, Teacher Meng¡¯s strength was enough to get him into the finals just by bluffing, which made him a true bluffer¡­


    Once in the finals, his true strength was quickly revealed.


    However, what made Chen Cang somewhat relieved was receiving the reward.


    Thirty favorability points, and the current favorability suddenly reached 80 points, enough to exchange for a level four skill!


    Plus a lucky bag, Chen Cang casually opened it.


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, you have received a special reward: a book chocolate.


    After using it, you can quickly digest a book!


    Note: For personal use only.]


    Chen Cang was pleased; this chocolate was nice!


    Should he think about buying a New Chinese Dictionary?


    Or the Twenty-Four Histories?


    It should at least be a grand work with 5000 pages; otherwise, it would be a waste.


    Just at this moment, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system notification sound:


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, for your act of bravery in the face of justice, you have completed the task ¡®A Doctor¡¯s Benevolent Heart¡¯ and received a special reward: one Free Job Change Voucher.


    This voucher allows you to unlock any job change task.]


    Seeing the system prompt!


    Chen Cang was stunned for a moment, almost jumping up with excitement.


    This is awesome!


    This reward is incredible!


    Any job!


    With this thought, Chen Cang could no longer contain his excited heart and trembling soul!


    He just didn¡¯t know if there was an Iron Man?


    A cultivator?


    Or even¡­


    a magician?


    As soon as the awards are over, I¡¯m switching to a cultivation practitioner!


    With that thought, Chen Cang pretended to be calm.


    But soon, the system woke him up!


    [Ding!


    Limited to the medical industry.]


    ¡­


    During the award ceremony, the TV reporters were particularly fond of Chen Cang, taking several pictures and even interviewing him specially.


    After all, as the protagonist, he got all the treatment he deserved.


    As expected, Sikong took second place, and Ding Yu third.


    After the award ceremony, both rushed over.


    Ding Yu said to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, hello, I¡¯ve wanted to meet you for a long time, but I couldn¡¯t find you anywhere.¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°Hello, Dr.


    Ding, and Dr.


    Sikong as well.¡±


    Sikong nodded with a slight smile, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, hello!


    Your actions have really earned my respect.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°If it were you, I guess you would do the same.¡±


    Sikong seemed open and sunny.


    ?0¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    Chen Cang suddenly remembered what Meng Xi had said and joked with Sikong, ¡°Dr.


    Sikong, Teacher Meng asked me to play a joke on you.¡±


    At the mention of Meng Xi, Sikong¡¯s expression changed, and he said to Chen Cang, ¡°Alright, Dr.


    Chen, let¡¯s add each other on WeChat and keep in touch.


    Call me when you¡¯re in the capital, and I¡¯ll avoid that granny!¡±


    ¡°Oh, and you should stay away from her too.


    She is¡­¡±


    Before he could finish his sentence, Sikong hurriedly left.


    Chen Cang chatted with his fellow awardees for a while, exchanged contact information, and then hurried off.


    He took the overnight high-speed train back to Anyang, as he had to work the next day.


    For some reason, Chen Cang felt a bit weary.


    Sitting on the train, he accidentally fell asleep.


    Meng Xi, sitting beside him, saw how tired Chen Cang was and didn¡¯t have the heart to disturb him.


    Seeing this, Qin Yueming and Guo Yunfei sighed.


    To be honest, both were very impressed with Chen Cang¡¯s actions!


    The rest of the journey was uneventful.


    Upon arriving in Anyang and waking up, Chen Cang sighed.


    He now understood what was happening ¨C it was the side effects of the power-boosting medication.


    After taking it, one indeed feels extremely powerful at first, a truly great sensation.


    The downside is that right now, he was indeed feeling quite weary.


    After taking a cab home, Chen Cang went straight to bed.


    But tonight, many people couldn¡¯t sleep.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Qin Xiaoyuan had the habit of watching the evening news, and today was special, with the whole family waiting by the TV for tonight¡¯s news.


    Qin Yue called Chen Cang several times but his phone was off.


    After calling Qin Yueming, Qin Yueming thought for a moment before saying,


    ¡°Little Chen is exhausted today, let¡¯s not disturb him.¡±


    He felt that it would be better for Chen Cang to talk about this himself the next day, otherwise, there would be needless worry.


    Qin Xiaoyuan, engrossed with his phone, said to Ji Ruyun and Qin Yue, ¡°It¡¯s on, it¡¯s on, look quick!¡±


    The two perked up at that, and then they heard the news anchor say, ¡°This afternoon, the national cardiothoracic surgery skills contest came to a successful conclusion.


    This year, a group of outstanding young doctors emerged, who are brave and cunning, with exquisite medical skills¡­


    Here is the detailed report!¡±


    ¡°The two-day cardiothoracic surgery skills contest came to a successful end, and Dr.


    Chen Cang, the young deputy chief of the emergency department from the Second People¡¯s Hospital of Dongyang Province, made history in the contest with full marks from the elimination rounds to the finals, as the dark horse!¡±


    At these words, Qin Xiaoyuan excitedly pumped his fist, ¡°Amazing!


    Little Chen is truly impressive!


    I was right about him!¡±


    At that moment, Qin Yue became quiet instead, her cheeks flushed.


    She picked up her phone and sent Chen Cang a message, ¡°Husband, you are number one in the world!¡±

 Chapter 667 - Chapter 667 Chapter 667 Qin Xiaotian for a Lifetime

    ?Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Qin Xiaotian for a Lifetime Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Qin Xiaotian for a Lifetime ¡°`


    The report from CCTV!


    It definitely vindicated Chen Cang.


    The young Deputy Director of the Emergency Department at Dongyang Province¡¯s Second People¡¯s Hospital, Chen Cang, this indicates recognition by the national network.


    So what if he¡¯s young?


    Youth is capital!


    We emerged as dark horses, took the national championship with a perfect score, broke the record, made history!


    This is Chen Cang!


    Such an honor, when Qin Xiaoyuan heard it, it could be described as heartening.


    This is direct praise from the national network; who can now say Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s promotion of Chen Cang was somewhat blind!


    Who now can doubt Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s insufficient capabilities?


    Who can still speak ill of me at the provincial health commission, giving me a hard time?


    Chen Cang has brought pride to the entire Dongyang Province!


    To think how many years it has been since Dongyang Province last made the top three, yet Chen Cang suddenly captured the championship.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    At this moment, does age really matter?


    Right at this time, the TV station continued:


    ¡°As we understand, no one has ever achieved a perfect score in the finals, but Chen Cang¡¯s perfect score is indeed substantial!


    At 12:31 p.m.


    today, a severe assault on a medical worker occurred at the Capital Emergency Medical Center Hospital.


    The person in question, Chen Cang, was participating in an assessment.


    In a moment of crisis, he stepped forward, subdued the criminal, and carried a 150-pound patient to the operating room by hand to perform surgery!¡±


    The background was that brief video.


    ¡°Director Wu Tongpu praised Chen Cang¡¯s surgical talent as the best he has ever seen¡­


    Chen Cang¡¯s performance is also the most admirable.


    He is an outstanding young man.


    With such a youth at the Second Hospital, I believe it will only get better!¡±


    ¡°Guan Jingshan, the director of the National Health Commission, highly praised Chen Cang¡¯s actions, calling him a hero among doctors, pioneering and fearless in the face of danger, saving patients in times of peril.


    He represents a vanguard among his generation of medical personnel!¡±


    ¡°At the same time, he also spoke highly of the Second Hospital of Dongyang Province for its decisive construction efforts, wholeheartedly devoted to medical care, and for courageously promoting capable individuals.


    He believes¡­¡±


    ¡°Our country will continue to strengthen and improve reforms of the medical system, and will increase the severity of punishments¡­


    to prevent and eliminate incidents of doctor-killing and doctor-assaults, and a blacklist will soon be piloted at the Capital Emergency Medical Center Hospital¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Listened to the news, Qin Xiaoyuan was stunned!


    He should have been excited and thrilled!


    For his actions to be acknowledged by Director Guan of the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, what greater honor could there be?


    As the director of the Second Hospital¡­


    this was the greatest recognition he could receive!


    Once the news was released, more honors were sure to follow!


    But¡­


    Why did Qin Xiaoyuan fall silent?


    Watching Chen Cang struggling with the knife-wielding assailant on screen, for some reason, he felt worried to death.


    ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    What honor?


    What commendation?


    All seemed insipid and tasteless¡­


    And Qin Yue burst into tears!


    Tears streamed down her face as she could not care less for Chen Cang being a hero; all she wanted was for Chen Cang to be with her, even if he was a bit silly, a bit foolish, a bit mediocre, it did not matter.


    As long as he was fine, whether he won any championship or not was irrelevant!


    Seeing this, Ji Ruyun quickly passed her a tissue, saying with heartache, ¡°Alright Yueyue, it¡¯s okay, didn¡¯t your uncle say, Chen Cang is just tired, he¡¯s resting, it¡¯s fine, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Comforted by her mother like this, Qin Yue burst into tears all over again, ¡°Mom¡­


    sob, I don¡¯t want Chen Cang to be any hero, he¡¯s already so tired and has worked so hard, he saves so many people every day and he still had to fight with a criminal¡­¡±


    Ji Ruyun hurriedly soothed her: ¡°Alright, young Chen is very impressive, you saw how he subdued the criminal in no time, it¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s nothing, don¡¯t cry anymore.¡±


    At this time, not only Qin Xiaoyuan and his family saw the news, but Chen Dahai and his wife also watched it.


    Having been told by Chen Cang earlier to watch the TV station today, the old couple excitedly awaited the moment.


    But after seeing it, they were shocked.


    Yang Jiahui tried to call Chen Cang to offer her greetings only to find his phone was off.


    With no other choice, she called Qin Yue.


    ¡°`


    Qin Yue saw that Yang Jiahui was calling, quickly sobbed a few times, rubbed her eyes, and answered the phone, ¡°Auntie.¡±


    Yang Jiahui hurriedly asked, ¡°Yueyue, Chen Cang is alright, isn¡¯t he?¡±


    Qin Yue quickly replied with a smile, ¡°Auntie, no worries, Chen Cang is just fine.


    He was tired from the competition today, and he went back to rest.


    You just relax.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t easy to reassure her, and then she hung up the phone.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    That night, many people in Anyang city saw the news.


    Especially those in the medical community, who were first shocked and then filled with emotion!


    This time, no one could outshine Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s deeds.


    The National Broadcasting Corporation was praising him, it was really¡­


    Furthermore, Chen Cang was now being recognized as a hero by the National Health Commission.


    Those who previously used Chen Cang to cause trouble for Qin Xiaoyuan at the Provincial Health Commission were shooting themselves in the foot, weren¡¯t they?


    Chen Cang was someone personally promoted by Director Qin Xiaoyuan!


    The phone rang for Qin Xiaoyuan, and when he saw it, he saw it was from Vice Director Duan Xuezhen of the Health Commission.


    He answered it.


    ¡°Old Qin!


    You¡¯re amazing, let me tell you, your matter is settled, and also, you¡¯ve brought honor to Dongyang Province this time.


    The province will definitely commend you!¡±


    ¡°This event has really paid off!


    Don¡¯t worry, your issue is definitely not a problem.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly seemed to lack interest, ¡°Hmm, Director Duan, thank you, I have some matters to attend to here, let¡¯s talk tomorrow.¡±


    After hanging up, Qin Xiaoyuan sighed deeply.


    At that moment, in a government courtyard, Kong Jiahui and his family, Kong Xiangmin among them, were chatting and watching the news.


    When they saw this piece of news, they were instantly shocked.


    They never imagined Chen Cang could be so formidable?


    And¡­


    most crucially, so brave!


    Long after, Kong Xiangmin took a deep breath.


    This was a hero!


    Bringing pride to the people of Dongyang!


    Kong Jiahui was also looking at Chen Cang, feeling sentimental, ¡°Dad, we really underestimated this young Chen.¡±


    Kong Xiangmin nodded, ¡°A loyal heart unmatched in the service to the nation!


    I have to mention this at the meeting tomorrow.


    This is a matter of pride for our Dongyang Province health system!¡±


    That night, how many were shocked.


    That night, yet many were envious!


    That night, there were also those who could not sleep.


    Qin Yue looked at her phone, thought for a long time, struggled to sleep, and after thinking it through, sent a message to Chen Cang:


    ¡°I would rather you be an ordinary common man, than a daring hero.


    I¡¯m just an ordinary person who wants to spend the rest of my life with you, living a simple life¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m so scared of you taking risks¡­¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang, I love you, let¡¯s get married sooner rather than later!¡±


    ¡°No matter what you are like or what you want to do, Chen Cang, in my heart you are always the best in the world, forever my hero!


    Really, I just want to be your Qin Xiaotian for life, your Qin Xiaotian forever!¡±

 Chapter 668 - Chapter 668 Chapter 668 Lady Chen, The Number One in the World

    ?Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Lady Chen, The Number One in the World Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Lady Chen, The Number One in the World The next morning, Chen Cang woke up to find a slew of missed call notifications on his phone.


    First, he called his parents to reassure them of his safety, promising that from now on, he would no longer overestimate his capabilities.


    Yang Jiahui had not slept well the entire night, and Chen Dahai dared not boast about his escapades anymorea€¡±in case the kid got addicted to playing the hero, what then?


    Chen Cang, feeling refreshed, arrived at the hospital early for breakfast, with no difference from any other day.


    The nurses had an early shift change and were already preparing their stations.


    Lele was instructing a new intern nurse, ¡°The patient in bed 17 has been hospitalized for a long time and requires frequent infusions.


    It¡¯s difficult to find veins in his limbs, so we have to use the external jugular vein.


    Go get the supplies ready.¡±


    The student was thrilled upon hearing this; it was her first time to witness an external jugular vein infusion.


    To be honest, she was quite excited and expectant.


    Excitedly, she took a tourniquet from the drawer and was about to head over.


    Lele was taken aback and got a fright, ¡°Wait a minute, what are you doing with that tourniquet?¡±


    The student confidently replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say we¡¯re going to infuse into the external jugular vein, teacher?


    Don¡¯t we have to tie around his neck?¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Makes sense, doesn¡¯t it?


    If you need to tighten the arm when inserting a needle into the wrist, then surely the neck when you¡¯re doing it there?


    Upon further consideration, it seemed quite logical.


    Chen Cang, who had just walked in, was utterly baffled when he heard this conversation!


    He hurriedly said, ¡°Young lady, please be gentle, can you really tie around someone¡¯s neck?¡±


    The people at the nurse station burst into laughter upon hearing this.


    Lele, trying to hold back laughter until she trembled, said, ¡°You¡¯re too creative!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a bit of a waste for you to be a nurse!¡±


    Seeing Chen Cang come in, Lele turned to the student and said, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t you go trying by yourself, or you might end up strangling the patient instead of giving an infusion!¡±


    Then, looking at Chen Cang, ¡°Director Chen is back!¡±


    Xiao Lin said with a beaming smile, ¡°It¡¯s Hero Chen!¡±


    The other nurses also cheerfully said, ¡°Good morning, Director Chen!¡±


    Chen Cang replied with an awkward smile, ¡°I still can¡¯t get used to you calling me director out of the blue; just call me Dr.


    Chen, alright?¡±


    Lele chuckled, ¡°That won¡¯t do; the head nurse said that from now on, we must change the way we address you to Director Chen.


    It¡¯s not just a mark of respect for you, but also a message to the patients!


    There¡¯ll be deductions from the salary for disobedience.¡±


    After saying that, Lele suddenly looked at Chen Cang full of expectation, ¡°Director Chen, if I were attacked by a bad guy, could you come out to rescue us too?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, and the head nurse, overhearing the conversation, hurried over saying, ¡°Tut-tut-tut!


    What nonsense are you talking about?


    Touch wood!


    Touch wood!¡±


    Tian Xianglan looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Chen¡­


    no, Director Chen, on behalf of all the nurses, I salute you!¡±


    The other nurses quickly nodded in agreement.


    Chen Cang, looking at everyone, couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    In fact, the relationship between doctors and nurses within the hospital had always been somewhat tense, but Chen Cang¡¯s selfless act of saving Huihui the day before had won over many nurses, drawing countless new admirers!


    And earning him much appreciation and gratitude from numerous nurses!


    Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s what I should have done.¡±


    In the morning, the Second Provincial Hospital was bustling with activity.


    Reporters from the provincial TV station came to interview Chen Cang.


    The Health Commission paid great attention to the development of the Second Provincial Hospital, and the provincial government would allocate specific funds for the growth and development of the hospital.


    ?¦Ï??¦Ï.§ã0


    Qin Xiaoyuan greeted the visitors with a smile, filled with a multitude of emotions.


    After struggling for most of his life to reach this position, he faced increasing difficulty in ascending further.


    Chen Cang had helped him through his toughest challenge yet!


    The gap between a divisional-level and a deputy departmental level was as wide as a chasm; a mere step apart, yet blocking the paths of many careers.


    And to Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s surprise, the best decision he had made in his life was to vigorously promote Chen Cang.


    This kid really did well!


    He scored full marks and became the champion in no time.


    And he¡¯s now a hero within the Health Commission system.


    Although there was some hindsight fear, Qin Xiaoyuan had been terrified at the time, after all, compared to Chen Cang¡¯s health and safety, her own matters were nothing.


    After the lively crowd of reporters dispersed, Qin Xiaoyuan called Chen Cang into her office.


    ¡°Chen, in the future¡­


    don¡¯t be too impulsive, too reckless, you¡¯re still young, you know what I mean?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, feeling a warmth in his heart, ¡°Mmm, Director Qin, I understand.¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, ¡°Go and comfort Yueyue, she cried all night, sigh¡­


    you two sort out your own matters, go on.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the message Qin Yue sent him, his heart aching.


    All morning, Qin Yue ignored Chen Cang.


    At noon, Chen Cang quickly caught hold of Qin Yue with a flattering smile, ¡°Still angry?


    I was wrong, okay?


    I apologize.¡±


    Qin Yue glared at Chen Cang, ¡°Who needs your apology?


    I¡¯m telling you, Chen Cang, if we get married and I get pregnant, and you get into trouble, I will definitely remarry!¡±


    Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yue burst into tears, choking up, ¡°Then I¡¯ll be someone else¡¯s wife, and the kids will be calling someone else ¡®daddy,¡¯ do you get that?¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Cang quickly embraced Qin Yue, listening to her sobs.


    ¡°You scared me to death, do you know that?¡±


    ¡°You went off playing the hero, and I was scared to death at home, your mother called me last night¡­


    can¡¯t you just not play the hero?¡±


    Qin Yue cried and sobbed for a long time, and it took Chen Cang a great deal of effort to finally calm her down, ¡°Alright, I was wrong, from now on, I¡¯ll only be your hero, protecting you and our child.¡±


    After being soothed for a while, the two sat in the duty room.


    Qin Yue dried her tears, saying with a pout, ¡°Actually¡­


    I was just bluffing, I will never marry anyone else in my lifetime, and if you get into trouble, I will raise the child on my own, and I will tell him that his dad was a true hero.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes also blurred as he took a deep breath, ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Qin Yue pouted, ¡°I want to eat hotpot, I want milk tea!¡±


    Chen Cang laughed, pulling Qin Yue towards the door, ¡°Okay, you got it, eat as much as you want!¡±


    Qin Yue sniffled and wiped away tears, ¡°I haven¡¯t forgiven you, not the hotpot nor the milk tea!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Mhm, I know!¡±


    Qin Yue hummed, ¡°I¡¯m really angry, and it¡¯s¡­


    the kind that can¡¯t be coaxed easily!¡±


    Plus¡­


    if you make me angry again, I will take my child and fly far away, never letting you see!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and continued to lead her outside.


    Qin Yue tried to shake off Chen Cang¡¯s hand, whispering, ¡°Everyone¡¯s here, there are so many people outside!¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t care, holding Qin Yue¡¯s hand as they walked towards the exit.


    The passing nurses instantly widened their eyes, ¡°Wow¡­


    what¡¯s going on here?¡±


    Lele also came over, ¡°Damn¡­


    Qin Yue, you¡¯re stealing my man!¡±


    Surrounded by the teasing of the other nurses, they started cheering, ¡°Oh oh oh¡­


    time to treat us!¡±


    Qin Yue¡¯s face turned red all of a sudden, and after coming out of the office, she scolded, ¡°It¡¯s all because of you!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of?


    I¡¯m Director Chen now.¡±


    Upon hearing that, Qin Yue grinned, ¡°Then I¡¯m Mrs.


    Chen!¡±


    ¡°Chen Cang the second greatest in the world!¡±


    ¡°Mrs.


    Chen the greatest in the world!¡±


    When Chen Cang heard that, he immediately laughed, ¡°Darling, you¡¯ve changed, last night I was still number one!¡±

    Zhao Xiuping hurriedly found Qian Liang, ¡°Old Qian, have you seen the news?¡±


    Qian Liang took a sip of his tea, ¡°Mmm, I saw it.¡±


    Zhao Xiuping suddenly said, ¡°Chen Cang¡­


    he really is formidable.


    I truly didn¡¯t expect him to win the championship, let alone a perfect score champion.


    Isn¡¯t that too impressive?¡±


    Qian Liang let out a sigh, ¡°I¡¯ve told you before to pay more attention and be more vigilant.


    Chen Cang is even more formidable than you realize.


    You wouldn¡¯t listen, and now it¡¯s too late!¡±


    ¡°That Chen Cang is going to be the future head of Second Provincial Hospital¡¯s emergency department!¡±


    Unable to contain himself, Zhao Xiuping exclaimed, ¡°Qin Xiaoyuan is just so lucky!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.??


    Now, I¡¯ve heard that there¡¯s no problem with his promotion, only the question remains of where he will go.¡±


    Qian Liang chuckled, ¡°The leaders have already said that Qin Xiaoyuan being able to retain Chen Cang is considered talent reserves, which is a good thing for An Yang City, even for Dong Yang Province!¡±


    ¡°You have no idea how many people have been contacting Chen Cang during this period, trying to poach him, not just ten or eight hospitals.


    You must realize that Chen Cang scored the highest in the history of the skills competition, his score unprecedented and likely unbeatable by future contenders.


    Such talent, and he¡¯s only 27 years old.


    How would you foster and nurture him?¡±


    After hearing this, Zhao Xiuping couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    Who could have predicted today?


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.??


    Initially, he had mocked Qin Xiaoyuan for promoting Chen Cang as his mistake, hindering his own further advancement.


    Now, it seemed that he was the smartest one of all!


    Similar things happened in many places.


    Overnight, Qin Xiaoyuan also became a little star in the entire An Yang health sector.


    However, everyone marvelled that Qin Xiaoyuan had met a great talent like Chen Cang.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Life is a constant churn of hot topics, yet Chen Cang¡¯s life remained without much turbulence.


    The only difference was that he now had become the deputy director of the emergency department.


    The next day at noon, after finishing surgery around one o¡¯clock, Chen Cang was dragged by Chen Bingsheng to Mother Liu¡¯s restaurant.


    The two sat down with their usual order: two large bowls of noodles, two marinated eggs, two pieces of dried tofu, and since the weather was cold, they didn¡¯t order any cold dishes and stir-fried a hot dish instead.


    Chen Cang was treating!


    However, this time, the auntie changed her address: ¡°Director Chen has arrived!¡±


    They found a familiar spot to sit, and Chen Bingsheng suddenly started to laugh, ¡°Time really flies, my boy; you¡¯re almost heading a department now.¡±


    Chen Cang laughed awkwardly.


    Looking at the same scenes, the same restaurant, eating nearly the same food.


    Just a few months ago, Chen Cang was worried about becoming a certified doctor.


    Now, he had become a star figure at the Second Provincial Hospital, and in a year¡¯s time, even a major influence there.


    Chen Bingsheng was filled with a multitude of feelings, but above all, he was happy.


    After all, watching one¡¯s own student develop and rise was certainly a joyous matter.


    Tonight was Chen Cang¡¯s night shift.


    The first half of the night was very busy, as if to welcome the new official with a baptism of firea€¡±all the patients seemed to show up to make things lively.


    Around eight o¡¯clock, a group of less urgent emergency patients arrived.


    ¡°Doctor, I have a cavity!¡±


    ¡°Doctor, although my scar is small, it still counts for something, right?¡±


    Chen Cang almost said you could have stayed home a bit longer, and it might have healed by itself.


    The emergency department is like that, full of all sorts of patients.


    However, at half-past twelve, a young man in his late twenties helped a young woman into the hospital.


    She was wearing pajamas, but it was evident that she was pregnant.


    Chen Cang suddenly became serious.


    The young man looked panicked, while the woman had a tight frown on her forehead.


    ¡°Doctor!


    Help, please, doctor!¡± the man rushed in, sweating profusely and speaking in a frantic tone.


    Chen Cang frowned, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    After speaking, he turned to the on-duty nurse Chang Lina and said, ¡°Lina, bring a bed over.¡±


    The man said anxiously, ¡°My wife has been having stomach pains for two or three days now, on and off, and they¡¯re unbearable!¡±


    As soon as Chen Cang heard that a pregnant woman was having abdominal pain, he immediately said, ¡°Hmm, you go and handle the procedures first, I¡¯ll call gynecology.¡±


    Gynecology at the Second Provincial Hospital doesn¡¯t have an emergency service, but if there are gynecologic patients, they are asked to come down for an emergency consultation.


    After heading over to the nurses¡¯ station, Chen Cang said, ¡°A pregnant woman with abdominal pain has come to the emergency room, who is the on-call doctor?¡±


    When the nurse on the other end heard Chen Cang, she immediately said, ¡°Director Chen, please wait a moment, I¡¯ll call her!¡±


    The nurse was very enthusiastic, Zhang Yan was getting ready to sleep when she suddenly heard the nurse knocking on her door and hurriedly got up.


    Upon learning that Chen Cang was requesting a consultation, she immediately rushed to the emergency room.


    After arriving, Zhang Yan learned about the patient¡¯s condition and couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°How many months along are you now?¡±


    The man replied, ¡°Six months!¡±


    After that, Zhang Yan conducted a gynecological examination on the woman.


    Looking at the results, she suddenly furrowed her brows!


    Chen Cang asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Zhang Yan frowned, ¡°The contractions are quite severe, every three to five minutes, and the cervix is already about three centimeters dilated, with the amniotic sac bulging out there!¡±


    Upon hearing this, even though Chen Cang was not well versed in gynecology, he understood somewhat.


    Zhang Yan looked at the man and the woman lying on the bed and asked, ¡°Have you had intercourse recently?¡±


    The woman¡¯s face turned red, and she said nothing.


    The man scratched his head and replied, ¡°Um, yes!¡±


    At this point, Zhang Yan and Chen Cang exchanged a look, feeling a chill in their hearts.


    Seeing Zhang Yan¡¯s reaction, the man explained, ¡°Doctor¡­


    I looked it up online, and it said to avoid the first three and last two months, we are in the sixth month now, it should be fine!¡±


    Zhang Yan shook her head, ¡°Did you not use protection during intercourse?¡±


    The man shook his head even more, taking it for granted as he said, ¡°Of course not, she¡¯s already pregnant, why would we need that?¡±


    After hearing this, Zhang Yan somewhat regretfully said, ¡°The baby might not be saved.¡±


    Upon hearing this sentence, the man was struck as if by a thunderbolt on a clear day, completely dumbfounded.


    The woman lying on the bed immediately started crying.


    Who would have thought such a thing could lead to this outcome?


    The woman sobbed, ¡°Please!


    Doctor, think of something, with how advanced technology is now, we won¡¯t dare do it again in the future!¡±


    The man quickly asked, ¡°Doctor, you¡­


    you¡¯re joking, right?


    Many people online do it, whya€|¡±


    Hearing the man¡¯s stubbornness, Zhang Yan continued, ¡°Because not using protection means fluids will enter the body, and a large amount of prostaglandins can soften the cervix and induce contractions, and¡­


    this was not just once or twice for you, and you didn¡¯t pay attention in time.


    It¡¯s been a long time, and you didn¡¯t seek medical attention promptly!¡±


    ¡°So the contractions can¡¯t be suppressed, and now¡­


    with the contractions being so frequent, every three to five minutes, there is simply no control, I¡¯m afraid the baby is about to come out.¡±


    ¡°The ultrasound result shows the baby is only under 900 grams, coming out now, there¡¯s no way to save it, and the subsequent treatment costs are frighteningly high, the prognosis is poor, it would be very difficult to keep the baby alive.¡±


    ¡°So, you need to make your own decision!¡±


    At those words, both of them were instantly stunned!


    The woman lay on the bed, silent, with tears streaming down her face.


    The man, on the other hand, was completely disconsolate, standing there as if his soul had been lost.

    Everyone is staying in, likely to have some ideas, and for some expectant fathers and mothers, or even for everyone in the future, this is a situation you will encounter.


    Do not emulate what you see in adult films.

    It¡¯s not that intercourse is forbidden, healthy pregnant women are not restricted from having intercourse, but many details are overlooked, which can easily lead to adverse consequences.

 Chapter 672 - Chapter 672 Chapter 672 You Cant Be Modest!

    ?Chapter 672: Chapter 672: You Can¡¯t Be Modest!


    (Thanks to the Silver Alliance Qingyan Xiaoguan) Chapter 672: Chapter 672: You Can¡¯t Be Modest!


    (Thanks to the Silver Alliance Qingyan Xiaoguan) After Chen Cang came up with the idea, he felt it was necessary to communicate with Qin Xiang, the director of the dermatology department at Dongda First Hospital.


    Not caring about sleeping, Chen Cang was too lazy to walk, so he took a taxi directly to Dongda First Hospital.


    When Qin Xiang saw Chen Cang arrive, he handed him an invitation and said with a smile, ¡°Here, Director Chen, please have a seat.¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile, ¡°Director Qin, you don¡¯t have to joke with me.¡±


    Qin Xiang shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m not joking, Chen, you really shouldn¡¯t be so modest.¡±


    ¡°Right, let me talk about the important thing first, we¡¯ll fly to Seoul on Friday morning, the conference is on Saturday.


    I actually wanted you to participate in that competition, but going out to see is also good.


    Foreign conferences usually include a day for tourism and relaxation, and we won¡¯t be able to return until Tuesday.


    After all, these kinds of conferences are hosted by big groups and companies.¡±


    Chen Cang suddenly remembered Pete and with doubt asked, ¡°Director Qin, that competition, why can¡¯t I participate in it?¡±


    Qin Xiang sighed, ¡°You need a recommendation letter from a review expert to participate, and I¡¯m not joking, the few experts we have here in our country have already recommended others, and I don¡¯t qualify yet.¡±


    ¡°I asked some friends I knew, but they had also already recommended someone, it¡¯s really embarrassing!¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í??.?¦Ï


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang quickly asked, ¡°Director Qin, do you know Pete Toby?¡±


    Qin Xiang¡¯s eyes sparkled as he nodded, ¡°Of course not!¡±


    Chen Cang was speechless, why are you so happy about not knowing him?


    Qin Xiang said, ¡°He doesn¡¯t know me, but I know him, he is the founder of the American CIS cosmetic surgery institution, and was once the best cosmetic surgeon of the year.


    His concepts, team, and surgical results are very impressive, and they¡¯re ones I really acknowledge and admire.


    I heard he¡¯s collaborating with a businessman to develop a computer simulation technology for cosmetic surgery, maybe their team has grown even more formidable by now?¡±


    Chen Cang hadn¡¯t expected Qin Xiang to speak so highly of Pete, although that kind of computer simulation technology was already in use.


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s him.


    Do you think he has the qualifications to recommend?¡±


    Qin Xiang was taken aback, ¡°Of course he does, he¡¯s the vice-chair of the judging panel for this competition.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang became excited and said, ¡°Oh?


    Then I¡¯ll give him a call!¡±


    Qin Xiang rolled his eyes as if Chen Cang was very familiar with Pete.


    Make a phone call¡­


    Who is Pete Toby?


    Even Cao Xuan, the president of our national plastic surgery association, doesn¡¯t think highly of him, a person who is too proud.


    But seeing Chen Cang was already dialing, Qin Xiang rolled his eyes, ¡°It¡¯s probably around eleven at night in America right now, are you sure you want to call?


    And¡­


    do you really know Pete?¡±


    ¡°I told you not to be so modest¡­


    but I didn¡¯t tell you to brag!¡±


    Chen Cang made the call, and upon hearing Qin Xiang¡¯s words, he suddenly realized, yeah, it¡¯s late at night in America, perhaps he¡¯s asleep?


    When he was about to hang up, the call suddenly connected!


    ¡°Dear Chen, long time no contact.¡±


    The voice on the phone came through, leaving Qin Xiang momentarily stunned.


    Could it be that Chen Cang really knew Pete?


    And they were that familiar with each other?


    At this thought, Qin Xiang grew curious!


    Chen Cang directly said, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, Pete, I¡¯ve got a favor to ask of you.¡±


    Pete laughed heartily, ¡°I stay up quite late, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Only then did Chen Cang say, ¡°I want to enter the competition at this year¡¯s conference, but I¡¯m missing a letter of recommendation from an expert, could you help me out?¡±


    Pete let out a hearty laugh, ¡°I thought it was something serious.


    No problem, piece of cake.


    I¡¯ll just have a word with the organizers when the time comes.


    Letters of recommendation are too troublesome.


    How many of you are there?¡±


    Chen Cang was about to answer when he suddenly remembered Director Qin and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director Qin, are you signing up?¡±


    Qin Xiang¡¯s face turned red and he said embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯d hate to decline such a kind offer¡­


    Guess I¡¯ll sign up too!


    I¡¯ll give it a try¡­¡±


    Seeing this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help rolling his eyes.


    He then said to Pete, ¡°Just the two of us for now.¡±


    Pete smiled, ¡°Mhm, I¡¯ll be in Seoul on Friday.


    We¡¯ll meet when I get there.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, exchanged a few polite words and hung up the phone.


    Qin Xiang looked at Chen Cang with a suspicious face, ¡°You¡­


    You actually know Pete?


    And you¡¯re that close?¡±


    Chen Cang hummed an acknowledgment and nodded lightly, ¡°Yeah.


    Surprised?¡±


    Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help but grumble inwardly, Cao Xuan couldn¡¯t even get his contact information, when you say it¡¯s not difficult?


    ¡°How did you meet him?


    Through Zheng Guotan?


    Right¡­


    was it Zhang Aixiang?¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t originally want to say, as it involved Zheng Guotan¡¯s private matters, but hearing that Qin Xiang knew, he nodded, ¡°Mhm, Pete Toby was there too.


    However, Zheng wasn¡¯t satisfied with their ideas and preferred mine.


    Afterwards, I was the one who performed the surgery, then Pete proactively asked for my phone number and email address.¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s nonchalant words left Qin Xiang somewhat speechless but then it dawned on him, ¡°You mean¡­


    you beat Pete?¡±


    ¡°Oh man, Chen, you¡¯re way too impressive!


    Do you know how awesome Pete is?¡± Qin Xiang¡¯s eyes bulged with disbelief.


    ¡°No way, now I¡¯m even more curious about the surgery you did.


    I¡¯ll go check on Aixiang tomorrow to see how she¡¯s doing.


    You¡¯re really something else, keeping such a low profile!¡±


    ¡°And you still act so humble around me!


    I¡¯ve been around for most of my life and don¡¯t have the kind of connections you do!¡± Qin Xiang exclaimed with feeling.


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile and suddenly asked, ¡°By the way, Director Qin, I¡¯ve got another thing I want to consult with you about!¡±


    Full of curiosity, Qin Xiang asked, ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±


    Chen Cang said, ¡°The emergency department¡¯s been losing money every year.


    So I was thinking, what if we set up a dermatology emergency service?


    What do you think?


    Could it help turn a profit for the emergency department?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang immediately shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s impossible in the short term!¡±


    ¡°Because, you see, dermatology surgeries in emergency are all major surgeries, like large burn operations, etc¡­


    You alone definitely can¡¯t handle it, and there¡¯s already a shortage of dermatological surgeons.


    Most aren¡¯t willing to work in emergency due to the high difficulty.¡±


    ¡°And in the short term, you can¡¯t set it up.


    What you need is reputation, resources, and specialized dermatology equipment.


    The initial investment is too big, it might result in a loss rather than a gain.¡±


    ¡°But the idea you¡¯re talking about is actually good.


    If it gets through the initial phase, becomes famous, has the technology, personnel in place, and if there¡¯s a star-level expert in charge, it actually has great prospects!¡±


    After their conversation, Chen Cang had a plan in mind.


    ?¦Ï???.?¦Ï


    Now wasn¡¯t the right time¡­


    But that didn¡¯t mean it wouldn¡¯t work in the future.

 Chapter 673 - Chapter 673 Chapter 673 Probably, This Is What Men Are Like

    ?Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Probably, This Is What Men Are Like?


    (Thanks to the Silver Alliance Qingyan Xiaoguan!) Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Probably, This Is What Men Are Like?


    (Thanks to the Silver Alliance Qingyan Xiaoguan!) ¡°Director Chen, a patient with a severed finger has arrived!¡± Xiaolin rushed into the office and called out.


    Chen Cang was startled and hurriedly got up and walked out, ¡°What happened?¡±


    Chen Cang saw a middle-aged man, over fifty years old, holding a wad of tissue wrapped around his finger, the blood had dyed the tissue red, a thick clump of red bloodstains.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, the man grinned with a smile, ¡°Doctor!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°What happened?¡±


    The man, baring his teeth in pain, said, ¡°My finger got crushed, can you see what can be done about it?¡±


    The man looked travel-worn with unkempt dirt-streaked hair, and his clothes were somewhat dirty as well.


    At this moment, a woman of similar age, who had completed the paperwork, ran over, looking anxiously at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor, my husband¡¯s fingertip was crushed, can you see if it can be reattached?¡±


    The woman¡¯s voice was somewhat choked up, while the man turned to her with a reassuring smile, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s just the ring finger, it doesn¡¯t matter!¡±


    The woman¡¯s attire was similar to the man¡¯s, also covered in dust.


    Chen Cang nodded, led the man into the treatment room, and after removing the tissue wrapped around his hand, the bloody, mangled ring finger was revealed.


    Chen Cang was somewhat taken aback, he looked up at the man, ¡°It hurts, doesn¡¯t it?¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    Bloody hell, it hurts.¡±


    Chen Cang sighed and told the man, ¡°Bear with it for a moment, I¡¯ll wash it for you.¡±


    The man nodded and hummed an affirmation, then fell silent.


    No matter how much Chen Cang rinsed and observed with tweezers, the man remained quiet.


    Out of curiosity, Chen Cang looked up and noticed the man¡¯s dark skin had turned a flushed red, but he made no sound.


    After a few minutes, Chen Cang had gathered a general understanding of the finger¡¯s condition, but he still needed to perform an MRI to see the specific internal situation.


    Chen Cang said, ¡°How about you get admitted for half a day?


    You still need an MRI, blood tests, and then surgery.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the man was taken aback, ¡°I have to be hospitalized?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, the finger is fractured.


    It needs to be immobilized, and the tendons, blood vessels, and nerves need to be repaired.


    If these aren¡¯t fixed properly, the problem could extend beyond just the finger.¡±


    Chen Cang was telling the truth, as there have been cases of upper limb amputations triggered by a single finger.


    However, upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s explanation, the man suddenly froze, ¡°Doctor¡­


    what if I don¡¯t undergo surgery?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Then amputation is necessary, to remove this finger.¡±


    The man fell silent and after a moment suddenly asked, ¡°How much would the surgery cost?¡±


    Chen Cang started calculating, ¡°All in all, it would cost over ten thousand, less than twenty thousand.¡±


    The man was visibly shocked by the answer and continued to ask, ¡°What about the amputation?¡±


    Chen Cang, ¡°Three to five hundred, I guess.¡±


    No sooner had Chen Cang finished speaking than the man directly said, ¡°Let¡¯s go with the amputation!


    After all, the ring finger isn¡¯t much use, right?


    It¡¯s dispensable!¡±


    The words reached Chen Cang¡¯s ears, and he suddenly felt a pang in his heart, as if something had pricked him.


    After hearing this, Chen Cang drew a deep breath to calm himself down.


    ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    ¡°Have you thought it through?¡±


    The man smiled and shook his head, ¡°No need to think, just go ahead and amputate.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at this man who was not tall and even somewhat frail, smiling yet his face was filled with bitterness, but his eyes contained happiness!


    This caused Chen Cang to pause for a moment.


    The man took a deep breath, ¡°Villagers, we¡¯re not that delicate, a finger won¡¯t make much difference.¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t know what to say.


    Seeing Chen Cang silent, the man couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°It¡¯s been hard to make money this year.


    My wife and I have been out for half a year and haven¡¯t made much.


    It¡¯s almost New Year, and we¡¯re getting ready to go back home.¡±


    ¡°Both of my sons are in university, prestigious ones, but they¡¯re in the capital, and it¡¯s expensive.


    Come New Year, between the two of them, half a year¡¯s living expenses amount to over ten thousand¡­¡±


    ¡°Having the surgery would cost one or two thousand, enough for their half a year¡¯s expenses.


    Let¡¯s just go with the amputation!¡±


    Upon reaching the end of his reasoning, the man gritted his teeth and made his decision.


    Chen Cang could only heave a sigh.


    This minor procedure could be done right in the treatment room.


    Chen Cang brought over the consent form, and with the man¡¯s right hand injured, he was ready to have his wife sign.


    The man quickly stopped him, ¡°Director Chen, wait¡­¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The man smiled apologetically, ¡°Is it okay if I sign with my left hand?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want her to know.


    In a bit, I¡¯ll just tell her that my finger can¡¯t be saved and has to be amputated, or else¡­


    given her personality, she¡¯ll start worrying again.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang felt an inexplicable sourness.


    For some reason, he saw his own parents reflected in this man.


    Rural folks, sending two kids to university isn¡¯t easy, truly running about all year round to pay for the children¡¯s living and tuition fees.


    Unable to help himself, Chen Cang took a breath and nodded, ¡°Mhm.¡±


    He understood the man very well at this moment.


    This skinny, dark man suddenly seemed so much taller at this moment!


    He was the towering mountain of this family!


    To keep his wife from worrying and his children from suffering, a pinky finger could be lost if it had to be.


    Giving all the toughness to himself, yet offering all the tenderness to his family.


    Perhaps¡­


    this is what a man is?


    Mingming in great pain but afraid his wife would worry, he put on a brave face and smiled all the way to the hospital, still thinking of comforting his wife even while sick.


    ¡°Amputate it!¡±


    A seemingly casual remark, yet it filled him with profound emotion.


    With that thought, Chen Cang didn¡¯t dally any longer and took a deep breath to start preparing.


    The tip of the man¡¯s pinky was already severed, merely connected by flesh; the bone had long been broken.


    This made the procedure much simpler.


    The operation lasted nearly half an hour.


    Because Chen Cang was so meticulous, doing everything as well as he could, tying off even the smaller blood vessels properly, in the end, he wrapped it up firmly with gauze.


    After giving some instructions, the man thanked him and rose to leave.


    Once outside, Chen Cang heard the man laughing to his wife, ¡°The doctor said it¡¯s nothing serious, the main issue is that it can¡¯t be saved.


    Trying to keep it would be worse for the body.¡±


    The wife didn¡¯t know whether it was true or false, but her eyes were blurry with tears.


    Seeing this, the man hurried to comfort her, ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you, ask the doctor if you don¡¯t believe me¡­¡±


    Having said that, the man winked at Chen Cang.


    In that moment, Chen Cang felt unexpectedly at a loss, unsure of what to say.


    Caught in his confusion, he no longer knew if he had nodded or shaken his head.


    However, the woman suddenly looked at his hand and asked, ¡°What about the finger?¡±


    The man shook his head, ¡°What do we need that thing for?¡±


    The woman¡¯s voice choked up, ¡°That¡¯s for me to decide!¡±


    Finishing her words, the woman walked straight to Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor, where¡¯s my husband¡¯s finger?¡±


    Chen Cang replied, ¡°It¡¯s inside, I¡¯ll get it for you.¡±


    The woman followed him in, and Chen Cang took out the finger, got a small bottle, filled it with alcohol, and put the finger inside, ¡°Take it.¡±


    The woman looked at the finger, covered her mouth, and the tears she had been holding back now poured out continuously.


    Her body was filled with numbness, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.


    After a while, she wiped away her tears, ¡°Thank you, doctor.


    Goodbye.¡±


    With that, she got up and left.


    Watching the couple supporting each other¡¯s figure, Chen Cang felt an immense sourness in his heart.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: Thanks to ¡°Qingyan Xiaoguan168¡± for the silver Alliance reward!


    I am deeply grateful and will add ten more chapters!


    Thanks to Alliance Hierarchs ¡°Li Wen521¡± and ¡°Jiu_XueerYo¡± for another 100,000 reward each, adding six more chapters.

 Chapter 674 - Chapter 674 Chapter 674 Our Secret (1)

    ?Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Our Secret (1) Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Our Secret (1) ¡°`


    Chen Cang looked at the countdown in the top right corner, feeling somewhat helpless!


    This task had to trigger just as I am preparing to go to South Korea, which is a bit speechless.


    Complete a task that has a positive impact on the department¡¯s development within a week!


    Burns and Plastic Surgery could have a positive impact, but it¡¯s just not realistic, even if I have a concept, it would all take more than a week.


    To tell the truth, Chen Cang was really looking forward to this department system!


    My life has turned into a game; isn¡¯t this department system just like a family system?


    Or a sect system!


    Could it be possible to develop sect skills or something?


    Thinking about this, Chen Cang felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.


    In this way, it would be very easy to build the department into a distinctive first-class one!


    In the path of medicine, it truly takes a collective effort to excel; if you want to achieve something, you must have a solid base.


    Whether for research or clinical work, talent is needed, and even if you want to go a step further and win some awards in the future, a team is essential.


    Chen Cang¡¯s long-day shift was coming to an end, and when it was time to hand over in the afternoon, Luo Zhou was late, but Chen Cang wasn¡¯t in a hurry and simply waited.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    However, at six o¡¯clock, Chen Cang¡¯s phone rang.


    Luo Zhou said anxiously, ¡°Old Chen, I¡¯ve been in a car accident, I¡¯ll be there late!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and immediately became alarmed, quickly standing up and asking, ¡°Are you alright?¡±


    Luo Zhou shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m fine, the car just got scraped.


    I was in a Didi; a mother was driving, and her child was in the front.


    However, the child got bumped a bit.


    Ah, it¡¯s not clear over the phone; we are about to arrive at the emergency room, will explain once we get there.¡±


    Upon hearing that Luo Zhou was fine, Chen Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    About ten minutes later, Luo Zhou was the first to enter the emergency room, accompanied by a woman in her thirties, holding a little girl about seven or eight years old.


    Following them was a man in his forties, dressed in a suit, looking very respectable.


    Seeing that everyone was alright, Chen Cang finally relaxed.


    The middle-aged man kept making apologetic grins, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault for today¡¯s incident, I was a bit too anxious on the phone and didn¡¯t pay attention when turning!¡±


    Lu Jie felt a bit embarrassed too, realizing she shared some of the blame.


    Although it was her car that got hit, the other party had compensated her with four to five thousand in cash and had left contact information.


    However, his Mercedes had its headlight damaged too.


    Initially, Lu Jie was also taken aback, after all, she had been only driving Didi for just over a year and was scared of causing trouble.


    Whenever encountering luxury cars on the road, she would avoid them if possible.


    She had heard too many stories about fellow drivers colliding with luxury cars and being financially ruined!


    Lu Jie said hurriedly, ¡°I¡¯m also responsible; you are being too kind.¡±


    Yang Kaihua sighed, ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    The child got scared just now, did you hit your head?


    Let¡¯s do a check-up to see if there¡¯s any issue!¡±


    At this moment, the little girl, rubbing her chest, said, ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m fine.


    I just accidentally bumped my chest while playing on the phone, it doesn¡¯t hurt.¡±


    Yang Kaihua touched the girl¡¯s head and said with a smile, ¡°Let the doctor have a look if there¡¯s anything wrong.


    Be good; children¡¯s bones are soft, we don¡¯t want to miss anything if there is an issue.¡±


    Chen Cang walked over and asked Luo Zhou, ¡°What happened?¡±


    Luo Zhou then explained, ¡°This lady is a Didi driver; this is her daughter.


    The car was just scraped, and it hit her chest.


    She almost couldn¡¯t breathe just now and turned red.


    So I suggested we come to the hospital to have it checked out, as children are delicate and we don¡¯t want to miss anything serious.¡±


    Yang Kaihua nodded, ¡°Right, right, right, this little brother is right.


    Doctor, please help us out here, make sure the little girl doesn¡¯t have any problems.


    Don¡¯t worry about the cost.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and took the little girl to the observation room.


    Chen Cang habitually asked Lele to perform an electrocardiogram first.


    Luo Zhou couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Old Chen, I noticed you really like doing ECGs.


    Is there some secret to it?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°ECGs are a big deal; I¡¯ll teach you someday.¡±


    Meanwhile, in the main hall.


    ¡°`


    Yang Kaihua looked at Lu Jie with an apologetic expression and said, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry about today; I¡¯ve made it so you can¡¯t even drive your car.¡±


    Seeing Yang Kaihua¡¯s earnestness, Lu Jie felt a bit embarrassed: ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay, my time isn¡¯t valuable.


    You go ahead and take care of your business.


    I¡¯m fine here, the child probably doesn¡¯t have any major issues.¡±


    Yang Kaihua couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll leave after the child¡¯s checkup is done and everything is fine.¡±


    ¡°However¡­


    I have to say something, driving DiDi with a child isn¡¯t safe, and besides, it¡¯s not convenient!¡±


    Lu Jie¡¯s face turned red.


    She knew this well enough, but¡­


    when it came to life¡¯s matters, who could say what was right or wrong?


    If there were any other choice, who would want their child to suffer along with them!


    ¡°Um, my bad.¡± Lu Jie didn¡¯t explain and just nodded, her mood somewhat downcast.


    Seeing this, Yang Kaihua chose not to say more, as it was the other person¡¯s private affair.


    But after a long silence, Lu Jie took a deep breath: ¡°The child is scared being at home alone, and I don¡¯t feel at ease leaving her by herself.


    I thought driving DiDi would allow me to check on her, and so I brought the child with me.¡±


    Yang Kaihua simply responded, ¡°What about the child¡¯s father?¡±


    Lu Jie¡¯s eyes reddened: ¡°He¡¯s gone.¡±


    Hearing this, Yang Kaihua quickly offered an apology.


    ¡­


    At this moment, the ECG results came out; Luo Zhou looked at the ECG and immediately furrowed his brow!


    He had never seen an ECG like this before.


    ¡°Old Chen, what¡¯s this about?¡±


    Chen Cang took the ECG and immediately began to frown.


    The wave pattern was very peculiar; it clearly showed abnormal electrical signals at the junction between the atria and the ventricles, but¡­


    the issue with the heart didn¡¯t seem that serious.


    But why did this happen?


    Chen Cang racked his brains in thought!


    Could it be ventricular septal defect?


    But that couldn¡¯t be it; a ventricular septal defect shouldn¡¯t look like this, and there were no symptoms either.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang looked at the little girl: ¡°Young lady, do you often feel tightness in your chest, or have trouble breathing, or even have unbearable pain here?¡±


    The little girl¡¯s eyes circled around and, in a whisper in Chen Cang¡¯s ear, she said: ¡°Uncle doctor, I¡¯m telling you, but you can¡¯t tell mom.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment.


    He nodded: ¡°Okay, uncle promises you!¡±


    The little girl pondered for a moment, seemingly not trusting Chen Cang: ¡°Pinky swear!¡±


    Chen Cang let out a wry smile and made a pinky promise with the young girl.


    The little girl¡¯s childlike voice said, ¡°Pinky swear, promise to die, a hundred years, must not lie¡­¡±


    Then she continued: ¡°Um!


    It often hurts here, buta€|I rub it, take a rest, and then it stops hurting.


    I guess it¡¯s because the kids at school were roughhousing and pushed me here.¡±


    ¡°They say I have no dad, and that really saddens me, but whenever I tell mom, she cries a lot, so I dare not tell her anymore.¡±


    ¡°After dad left, mom often cries.


    I worry about mom driving alone and working hard, and about her not eating properly when she¡¯s out, so I stay with her.¡±


    ¡°I think, maybe it was when I was fighting with the other kids, someone hurt me, not this uncle!¡±


    ¡°Also, this uncle is a good person, he gave mom a lot of money, I can¡¯t lie to uncle.¡±


    ¡°Dad was a police officer, he told me to be a good girl, not to lie, not to cheat, to protect mom¡­¡±


    Talking and talking, the little girl started to cry.


    Tears and snot streamed down her face, but she quickly wiped her sleeves clean: ¡°I can¡¯t cry, whenever I cry, mom cries.


    Uncle, you can¡¯t tell mom, this is our secret!¡±

 Chapter 677 - Chapter 677 Chapter 677 Wont Live Past Twenty!

    ?Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Won¡¯t Live Past Twenty!


    Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Won¡¯t Live Past Twenty!


    In the office, Lu Jie looked at Chen Cang sitting opposite her, unable to speak for a long time.


    After a while¡­


    Lu Jie¡¯s voice trembled slightly as she carefully tried to speak, but even after opening her mouth, she just couldn¡¯t get the words out.


    She dared not ask, nor dared to say¡­


    ¡°Doctor, Cheng Cheng¡­


    she¡­¡±


    She felt she had already been living cautiously, not daring to take the slightest risk!


    But why did fate still mock her like this?


    Ever since her husband passed away, the pillar of the family had collapsed!


    That mountain had been their family¡¯s backbone, their courage, and without the mountain¡­


    it was as if they had lost all their support.


    When her husband was still alive, she felt even if the sky fell, that man would hold it up!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    But now, she felt she couldn¡¯t withstand any blow.


    Yet, as she looked at her child, she knew she had to strive to be strong, because there was someone even more fragile and in need of care waiting for her!


    In just a year or two, the two of them relied on each other for everything, accustomed to leaving early and returning late.


    She resigned from her overtime job, bought a Geely, and became one of the millions of Didi drivers.


    Every morning, after having breakfast with her child and sending her to school, she would start working.


    At noon, she would wait for her to finish school to eat together, and in the afternoon, pick her up and go home.


    Although it was hard, the two of them were also happy.


    Occasionally, the child would sit in the car with her, sharing interesting stories from school, which for Lu Jie was everything in life.


    But the sudden blow made Lu Jie¡¯s heart tremble!


    Why?


    On what grounds?


    She really wanted to ask loudly!


    But she also knew it was pointless.


    Sighing, Lu Jie gathered her courage and asked Chen Cang about her child¡¯s condition.


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen, you said Cheng Cheng has a congenital heart defect, but why has there been no issue for so many years?¡±


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°This condition is called congenital corrected transposition of the great arteries!


    What does that mean?


    It means that the human body actually has a powerful compensatory function.


    After a congenital deformity, the heart will also work hard to adapt to this deformity, forming a new circulatory system!


    Now, Cheng Cheng belongs to that type of heart deformity where the alignment between atria and ventricles, and ventricles and the great arteries, are all incongruent.¡±


    Chen Cang took out a piece of paper and tried his best to simply describe the function of the heart to Lu Jie.


    ??¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Even if she didn¡¯t understand, Lu Jie had to try to comprehend!


    She knew she must understand her child better to help her recover.


    Chen Cang explained, ¡°The heart pumps blood from the ventricles to the great arteries and then venous blood flows back to the atria, blood then goes back to the ventricles, and so the cycle repeats.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, the misalignment between the atria and ventricles, and the ventricles and the great arteries, creates a circuit for both normal and in-series systemic and pulmonary circulation.


    Systemic venous blood enters the right atrium, goes through the mitral valve and left ventricle to the pulmonary artery; pulmonary venous blood enters the left atrium, goes through the tricuspid valve and right ventricle to the aorta!


    As a result!


    This physiological correction occurs, so this deformity is also called physiological correction of the transposition of the great arteries.¡±


    Seeing Lu Jie somewhat perplexed, Chen Cang simply said, ¡°In other words, because of this deformity, the heart has adopted a special method, forming a new pathway to work normally.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Jie asked, ¡°So¡­


    isn¡¯t the heart working normally then?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°This is only a temporary measure.


    To put it plainly, as one ages, it will increase the damage to the heart.


    In the early stages, there could be chest tightness, mainly due to overload of the right ventricular capacity, leading to angina.


    Gradually, there could be the appearance of right heart failure, and in late stages, congestive heart failure, with a very poor prognosis!¡±


    ¡°Simply put, Cheng Cheng is still young, but as she ages, her body will get progressively worse.


    Generally speaking, her life expectancy would not exceed twenty to thirty years!¡±


    With one sentence, Lu Jie almost lost herself in a daze!


    Chen Cang said, ¡°Of course, there are exceptions, buta€| you know, we can¡¯t pin our hopes on exceptions.


    Given Cheng Cheng¡¯s condition, my advice is to have the surgery as soon as possible.¡±


    Upon hearing that Cheng Cheng might only live to around 20 years of age, Lu Jie¡¯s mind was struck by thunderclaps!


    They seemed to threaten to crush her fragile soul!


    Chen Cang sighed, he was also helpless.


    Life was already tough, why burden this fragile family further?


    Such a sensible child, weren¡¯t they?


    At such a young age, they had already learned to help their mother, avoid causing her trouble, and share her worries and difficulties¡­


    Remembering how Cheng Cheng had just mimicked adults while speaking, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    At that moment, Cheng Cheng was standing outside with Yang Kaihua and Nurse Lele, looking in with concern on her face.


    ¡°I¡¯m worried about my mom, I¡¯m going to check on hera€| She¡¯ll worry if she doesn¡¯t see me.¡±


    Lele was taken aback, moved by the mature attitude of little Cheng Cheng.


    ¡°What a darling child, huh?¡±


    Yang Kaihua¡¯s eyes stayed on Cheng Cheng as he nodded, ¡°Indeed!¡±


    Lele hurried forward, pushed the door open, and tiptoed into the office, only to suddenly see her mother crying!


    She was startled and quickly ran over.


    ¡°Mom, why are you cryinga€|¡±


    After speaking, she raised her tiny hands to wipe away Lu Jie¡¯s tears.


    ¡°Mom, don¡¯t cry, let¡¯s go home.


    How about I wash your feet tonight?¡±


    ¡°Right, Mom, I¡¯ll be on winter break soon, and then I¡¯ll be with you every day.¡±


    ¡°Mom, don¡¯t cry!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you a story when we get home.¡±


    Looking at sensible Cheng Cheng, Lu Jie wanted to cry, but she had to hold back.


    She smiled, ¡°Cheng Cheng, be good and wait outside for a bit, Mommy needs to talk with the doctor uncle.¡±


    After hearing this, Cheng Cheng nodded understandingly and turned to walk outside.


    However, after a few steps, as if unsure, she suddenly turned to look at Lu Jie before finally exiting.


    Watching her child leave, Lu Jie turned to Chen Cang and said, ¡°Doctor Chen, how much will this surgery cost?¡±


    This question took Chen Cang by surprise; he really didn¡¯t know.


    ¡°How about this, you take your child home today.


    Your car broke down, and you¡¯ve been worried about work these past few days.


    Take some time off for your child, and I will contact some provincial experts.


    Let¡¯s get an understanding, have a discussion, and see what the best treatment would be.¡±


    ¡°Whether we need to bring in outside experts, along with the cost issues, what do you think?¡±


    ¡°After all, the child is still young; health is more important than anything!¡±


    Lu Jie nodded, indeed!


    In her heart, Cheng Cheng was now her everything.


    She couldn¡¯t bear another loss in her lifea€|


    After leaving the office, Lu Jie departed with her child.


    Yang Kaihua suddenly said, ¡°Ms.


    Lu, I contacted the 4S shop, and they are on their way now.


    I will take care of everything, so there¡¯s no need for you to worry.¡±


    At this, Yang Kaihua added, ¡°I had a driver bring a car over, let me give you a ride home, okay?¡±

 Chapter 678 - Chapter 678 Chapter 678 All-Out Effort

    ?Chapter 678: Chapter 678: All-Out Effort Chapter 678: Chapter 678: All-Out Effort Throughout the journey, Lu Jie was rather silent.


    Cheng Cheng kept comforting her mother, ¡°Mom, did that doctor uncle say bad things about Cheng Cheng?


    Please don¡¯t worry, okay?¡±


    ¡°Doctor uncle is a liar, he made a pinky promise not to tell mom¡­


    ¡±


    Lu Jie looked at her daughter and couldn¡¯t help but ruffle her hair, eight-year-old Cheng Cheng had started second grade.


    At this age, other children were still naive and thought about playing all day, but Cheng Cheng was already mature, like a little adult, starting to share her mother¡¯s worries and problems.


    It¡¯s said that people follow the trials of life.


    Sometimes, Lu Jie would rather have Cheng Cheng be naughty and playful instead of so sensible.


    It was her sensibleness that was frightening.


    Yang Kaihua watched the two of them and suddenly felt some happiness.


    If his wife and child were alive, perhaps¡­


    they would be about the same age as Cheng Cheng?


    Thinking this, Yang Kaihua couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    In one train compartment, the three of them were lost in their thoughts.


    In Cheng Cheng¡¯s little head, she was also pondering¡­


    Did the doctor uncle tell mom about some illness she has today?


    As she thought about it, Cheng Cheng couldn¡¯t help but worry¡­


    If she got sick, if she followed her dad¡­


    Who would take care of her mother¡­


    Who would be there when her mom cried?


    Cheng Cheng looked at her mom and comforted her, ¡°Mom, when Cheng Cheng grows up, I¡¯ll also buy you a beautiful car like the uncle¡¯s.¡±


    Lu Jie¡¯s heart melted, and she quickly turned her head away.


    Growing up¡­


    When had becoming grown-up become such a terrifying thing for her?


    She had always thought that things would be better once Cheng Cheng grew up, but now¡­


    having heard Chen Cang¡¯s words, Lu Jie suddenly felt that Cheng Cheng was fine as she is now, and it would be best¡­


    if she never grew up.


    ¡°If there¡¯s no accident, she probably won¡¯t live past thirty¡­¡±


    This sentence lingered in Lu Jie¡¯s mind like a nightmare.


    Lu Jie made up her mind!


    She must get treatment!


    She would go broke if she had to for the treatment!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day, Chen Cang went straight to Tao Zi and recounted the situation.


    After hearing the term ¡°congenital corrective transposition of the great arteries combined with intracardiac malformation,¡± Tao Zi pondered it three times, each time frowning more deeply.


    ¡°That¡¯s a major surgery, impossible for one person to complete.


    It requires a professional cardiothoracic surgery team, and our hospital certainly can¡¯t do it!¡±


    ¡°I think if we want something reliable, we should definitely go to Fuwai Hospital, or Qilu Hospital would be okay too.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Jie was instantly dumbfounded!


    ¡°Director Tao, how much would it cost if we went to the capital?¡±


    Lu Jie was also worried!


    When her husband died in the line of duty, she indeed received a large sum of condolence money, but¡­


    The condolence money was not only for herself, right?


    Her husband¡¯s parents were unemployed, and after her husband died, her mother-in-law fell seriously ill, resulting in substantial medical expenses.


    Two years had passed, and less than two hundred thousand was left.


    With the child¡¯s schooling, everyday household expenses, and buying a car for work, Lu Jie didn¡¯t dare squander a single penny.


    Knowing her situation, Tao Zi said, ¡°I have a friend at Fuwai Hospital.


    I¡¯ll call and ask about it there.¡±


    The phone call connected after a short while.


    After explaining the situation, the person on the other end also discussed much.


    After hanging up, Tao Zi looked at Lu Jie and said, ¡°For this surgery, if you go to the capital, the surgery plus hospitalization costs might be over a hundred thousand, including the postoperative prognosis, you might also need to install a pacemaker¡­


    so in total, it could amount to over two hundred thousand.¡±


    Upon hearing this huge number, Lu Jie¡¯s face instantly turned pale with fright.


    When Chen Cang heard this, he frowned, ¡°Can¡¯t we do it in our province?¡±


    Tao Zi frowned, ¡°I heard Xiong Dean and Qin Yueming Dean mention it before.


    Should we ask them?¡±


    That very morning, Chen Cang directly contacted Xiong Kangyu, Qin Yueming, Yang Jianshu, and Xia Gaofeng, four of the top cardiothoracic surgeons in the province.


    Meanwhile, Lu Jie took a leave for her child and brought her to the hospital for another detailed examination.


    Cheng Cheng sat there, watching a group of uncles, older uncles, and grandpas describe her condition.


    In her youthful heart, she suddenly realized that she must have a serious illness!


    That¡¯s what they always say on TV.


    She would likely need surgery.


    ?¦Ï??0.?¦Ï


    At that thought, she began to worry, but when she turned to look at her mother, she forced a smile, with her missing front tooth whistling, making her smile all the more heart-wrenching.


    a€|


    a€|


    An intense and heated discussion was ongoing!


    Was surgery possible?


    How would the surgery be conducted?


    Who would perform the surgery?


    All these were serious questions!


    Qin Yueming looked at the imaging results, ¡°The patient has congenital corrected transposition of the great arteries with a ventricular septal defect.


    Considering surgery, there are many issues that need to be taken into account.¡±


    ¡°Tolerance for surgery shouldn¡¯t be an issue now, but we need to consider the prognosis.


    The child is only eight years old; we must minimize postoperative complications, which is the challenging part of the surgery.¡±


    Xiong Kangyu nodded and said, ¡°For the surgical correction of congenital corrected transposition of the great arteries with intracardiac malformations, considering the patient¡¯s current condition, we should use the Senning procedure and the arterial switch operation.


    Although this will make the surgery more difficult, the sequelae will be minor, which might be better for pediatric patients.¡±


    ¡°Director Qin, I can perform the Senning procedure and the arterial switch operation.


    Yes, I can, but¡­


    I feel I am not fit to be the chief surgeon!


    Can you?¡±


    Qin Yueming was stunned, and after pondering seriously for a moment, he said.


    ¡°I often perform the arterial switch operation, but¡­


    I¡¯ve only done the Senning procedure a few times and¡­


    such surgeries are too rare; I can¡¯t guarantee my success rate.


    Plus, as Director Xiong says, the risk for the child is greater.


    I cannot be certain either!¡±


    After a discussion among the directors, everyone felt uncertain about this type of surgery!


    Chen Cang sighed.


    He had also looked up a lot of information last night and refreshed his knowledge.


    Actually, the directors couldn¡¯t be blamed.


    This disease is very rare to begin with!


    Given that the incidence of congenital heart diseases is already very low, less than one percent, congenital corrected transposition of the great arteries is an even rarer form of congenital heart disease, comprising just 0.43% to 0.60% of all congenital heart cases.


    In 12,044 cases of congenital heart disease surgery at the Shenyang Military Region General Hospital, there were only a few dozen patients, and the first surgery in our country was only possible in the late nineties.


    This is a highly complex and difficult type of surgery, meant for challenging cases!


    That¡¯s why even the directors from the radiology department, Zhao Xing and Shi Tao, seemed a bit clueless!


    After the discussion, Qin Yueming suddenly said, ¡°I know an expert from the Shenyang Military Region General Hospital who has performed more than a dozen such surgeries and should be quite experienced.


    Should I ask him to come and be the chief surgeon?¡±


    Everyone exchanged glances, then they called in Lu Jie to consult her opinion.


    After all, inviting a specialist was something that the family needed to decide on their own.


    Lu Jie had been endlessly grateful to all the specialists, repeatedly thanking them without end.


    Qin Yueming waved his hand and said, ¡°Rest assured, we will do our utmost for Cheng Cheng.


    Her father is a hero, and the nation and people won¡¯t let his children be disappointed.¡±


    The other directors all nodded in agreement!


    ¡°Exactly, miss, rest at ease.


    We¡¯ll make every effort to support the surgery!¡±


    At those words, Lu Jie¡¯s face was streamed with tears.


    And Cheng Cheng, who had come in with her, burst into tears as well.


    She was not upset because she always cried uncontrollably whenever she heard that her father was a hero.


    After connecting on the phone and understanding Cheng Cheng¡¯s situation, the other party hesitated for a while, then declined.


    ¡°Old Qin, it¡¯s not that I won¡¯t help you, nor that I won¡¯t perform the surgery on the child, but¡­


    my Parkinson¡¯s has gotten rather severe, and I¡¯m afraid of an accident occurring during surgery.


    How about this, I¡¯ll come over overnight and can provide some advice.¡±


    After the phone call, there was silence.


    Xiong Kangyu sighed, ¡°I¡¯ll contact Fuwai.¡±


    Xia Gaofeng said, ¡°I know the chief of cardiothoracic surgery at Qilu Hospital, I¡¯ll also ask him.¡±


    Seeing one director after another showing concern, Lu Jie felt a surge of emotion and shaking inside; for the first time, she was feeling a sense of warmth.


    At that moment, Chen Cang spoke up, ¡°I¡¯ll perform the surgery.¡±


    Everyone looked towards the sound, gazing at Chen Cang with wide eyes and surprise, asking, ¡°Can you perform this surgery?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded resolutely, ¡°I can!¡±


    Instantly, everyone was stunned.


    Even Cheng Cheng looked at the young uncle with curiosity.


    a€|


    a€|

    ?Chapter 679: Chapter 679: What were you doing during your internship?


    Chapter 679: Chapter 679: What were you doing during your internship?


    Chen Cang¡¯s words immediately plunged the meeting room into silence.


    Tao Zi choked on Chen Cang¡¯s remark!


    After coughing twice, he exclaimed in surprise, ¡°Youa€| can do it, too?¡±


    Hearing Tao Zi¡¯s words, everyone looked at Chen Cang with confusion written all over their faces.


    Youa€| can do it, too?


    Why did that sentence seem so odd and peculiar?


    Unable to help himself, Tao Zi blurted out, ¡°You cana€| why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡±


    Chen Cang said indifferently, ¡°You never asked me.


    I assumed all the directors were my seniors, perhaps more skilled, so I felt it wasn¡¯t my place to butt in.¡±


    ¡°Seeing that none of the teachers had a better candidate, I thought¡­


    maybe I could nominate myself.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces flushed with embarrassment!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    They grumbled inwardly for a long time.


    This kid clearly meant: I gave you the chance, right?


    But you didn¡¯t cherish it, so you can¡¯t blame me for not giving you the opportunity to show off!


    Definitely!


    Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Tao Zi thought this was exactly in line with Chen Cang¡¯s style.


    Catching you off guard with a sudden jolt, leaving you hooked.


    Qin Yueming glanced at Chen Cang, though he didn¡¯t think of him as someone who joked around or showed off without cause.


    But stilla€| as an elder, he felt he should remind Chen Cang that this was no joking matter; it involved the life of a seven or eight-year-old child, the descendant of a martyr and a hero, where there was no room for negligence!


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    ¡°Director Chen, if convenient, shall we discuss the surgical approach now?¡±


    Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up as they couldn¡¯t help but give Qin Yueming a mental thumbs-up.


    Exactly!


    Great idea!


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang smiled faintly, knowing Qin Yueming had his best interests at heart.


    Though he remained cautious, he appreciated the gesture of respect.


    Chen Cang looked at the white coat he was wearing.


    This was a treasure he had obtained!


    Upon seeing the attributes, Chen Cang had exclaimed in awe, ¡°Awesome!


    Truly worthy of Bethune¡¯s white coat.¡±


    [Bethune¡¯s White Coat: Gold-tier item, Attributes: Clarity +20; Stamina +20; Defense +20;


    Tip: A battlefield surgeon¡¯s white coat is his surgical gown!


    When wearing the white coat and surgical gown, all effects are active!


    As a concentrated manifestation of Bethune¡¯s experience, wearing this garment will enhance surgical insight, spark operation inspiration, and improve surgical proficiency in thoracic surgery!


    Equipment Skill: Allows the wearer to convert a surgery they have participated in or observed into their own surgical skill and upgrade it to perfection level, valid for one month, once a month.


    One month later, the skill disappears automatically but can be reactivated and used again.


    Equipment Bond: After obtaining Bethune¡¯s five-piece set, the wearer will inherit Bethune¡¯s thoracic surgery skills, gaining access to the level 100 legendary thoracic surgeon Bethune¡¯s surgical abilities.]


    When he saw the tip, Chen Cang¡¯s brain had completely crashed.


    This was absolutely god-tier gear.


    In fact, it was a divine set.


    Merging five pieces could grant the inheritance of level 100 thoracic surgery skill from the great Bethune.


    How many skill points would this save him?


    Thinking about this, Chen Cang found it frightening.


    Moreover, the equipment skill was quite domineeringa€¡±converting surgeries he participated in or observed into his own skills, and at a perfect level!


    This meant he had a chance to achieve a perfect-level surgery every month.


    Unfortunately¡­


    System equipment was subject to selective equipping, allowing only one item to be equipped at a time.


    Chen Cang usually equipped the good ones and disposed of the mediocre directly.


    But surgical gowns were different.


    At this stage, Bethune¡¯s set was still excellent gear for Chen Cang, and he could switch freely.


    Fortunately, Chen Cang had indeed witnessed such a surgery.


    So, at that moment, Chen Cang¡¯s [Congenital Correction of Transposition of the Great Arteries Combined with Intracardiac Malformation Surgery: Perfect Level!


    Valid for the current month!]


    That was more than enough!


    Chen Cang turned to the others and began to describe his surgical plan and strategy in detail.


    Every step was precise to the last detail.


    Every detail was introduced with precision.


    ¡­


    Half an hour later, everyone fell silent.


    This kid, he¡¯s really got it!


    And there were some parts they still didn¡¯t understand.


    Qin Yueming was both surprised and delighted; he had not expected his niece to find such a capable partner.


    Someone who could even perform such complicated surgeries.


    With that in mind, the directors exchanged glances and decided to appoint Chen Cang as the lead surgeon.


    But after the discussion ended, Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Chen, where did you learn to perform this surgery?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°During my internship, at Peking University Third Hospital.


    At that time, the head of cardiothoracic surgery took a liking to me and often took me to surgeries, so later I applied for a graduate program in cardiothoracic surgery.¡±


    After hearing this, everyone paused for a moment, silent.


    They thought back to what they were doing during their own internships.


    Soon, the meeting was over, and everyone left, with Chen Cang going to discuss the patient¡¯s condition.


    Meanwhile, Qin Yueming and a few other directors went downstairs together.


    Inside the elevator, it was eerily quiet!


    Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t resist asking, ¡°Director Qin, what did you learn during your internship?¡±


    Qin Yueming¡¯s face turned red for a moment, ¡°Me?


    I¡­learned quite a bit, like tying knots and suturing¡­


    But can it compare?


    I was interning in Dongyang back then.


    By the way, Director Xiong, you¡¯re from the capital, what did you learn during your internship?¡±


    Xiong Kangyu immediately became so annoyed he could burst, I freaking interned in the capital, but¡­


    I¡¯m not Chen Cang!


    ¡°I¡­


    I should have learned suturing!¡±


    When everyone heard this, they couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Yang Jianshu couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud.


    Suddenly, everyone glared at him, ¡°Director Yang, I heard you studied abroad, right?


    What did you learn in America then?¡±


    Yang Jianshu was taken aback, and seeing that he had provoked everyone¡¯s annoyance, he hurriedly pressed the elevator button, ¡°Ah¡­


    my stomach feels uncomfortable, you guys go first!


    Uh¡­


    directors, see you another day!¡±


    After speaking, he quickly made his escape.


    Tao Zi was stunned, ¡°This¡­


    This floor is¡­


    the obstetrics department?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the cardiothoracic ward, Chen Cang was about to go talk to Lu Jie about the surgery.


    But when he entered, he suddenly found that the room was full of people.


    Zhang Keqin looked at Lu Jie, ¡°Girl, you¡¯re too much, you know?


    How could you not tell us about such a big thing!¡±


    ¡°If anything were to happen to Cheng Cheng, how could we be at peace?¡±


    Lu Jie just smiled and didn¡¯t speak.


    Wu Gang picked up Cheng Cheng, ¡°Cheng Cheng, who bullied you?


    Tell Uncle Wu, and I¡¯ll take them away!¡±


    Wu Gang¡¯s hand had recovered very well by now and was almost unaffected.


    Cheng Cheng, seeing Chen Cang enter the door, immediately pouted her lips, ¡°He bullied me.¡±


    Chen Cang gave an awkward smile.


    Wu Gang turned to see Chen Cang coming in and immediately smiled, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, huh?


    Haha!


    Cheng Cheng, this one¡­


    we shouldn¡¯t provoke him; shall we pick someone else?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Cheng Cheng immediately pouted, crossing her arms over her chest and, after thinking for a long time, said, ¡°That¡¯s a tough one!¡±


    Everyone who saw her acting like a little adult couldn¡¯t help but burst out laughing.


    At that moment, Zhang Keqin gave Wu Gang a meaningful look!


    Wu Gang quickly stood up, ¡°Cheng Cheng, come with Uncle Wu for a walk.¡±


    After the two left,


    Zhang Keqin addressed Chen Cang, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, the bureau is aware of Cheng Cheng¡¯s situation.


    All of Cheng Cheng¡¯s medical expenses will be reimbursed.


    So we hope that we can do our best to treat Cheng Cheng well!¡±


    ¡°Also, if there¡¯s a need to invite any specialists, we can help apply to the authorities.


    But the main thing is, we want to ensure the surgery is a success, after all, the child is still so young.¡±

 Chapter 681 - Chapter 681 Chapter 681 Diary (Extra 2 for Qingyan Xiaoguan)

    ?Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Diary (Extra 2 for Qingyan Xiaoguan) Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Diary (Extra 2 for Qingyan Xiaoguan) ¡°`


    Chen Cang¡¯s words left Wang Qi feeling like his brain wasn¡¯t up to the task!


    ¡°Have I taught it?¡± Wang Qi countered.


    ¡°You have taught¡­


    I guess!¡± Chen Cang replied hesitantly.


    And the directors around, along with Yang Kaihua standing to the side, were all quite alarmed by this hesitant ¡°I guess¡±.


    I guess?!


    What does that mean?


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on Chen Cang, causing him some embarrassment, um, and a little bit of cluelessness, plus¡­


    a slight blush!


    Chen Cang looked at Wang Qi, ¡°Director Wang, have you forgotten?¡±


    Wang Qi really had forgotten!


    He had genuinely forgotten that he had taught Chen Cang the surgery for the corrective operation of congenital transposition of the great arteries with intracardiac deformity!


    Because¡­


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    he wasn¡¯t even sure how he did in that surgery four years ago¡­


    Chen Cang quickly interrupted, ¡°Director Wang, it¡¯s getting late.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã0


    Let¡¯s head to the operating room first!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll give it some thought this evening.


    Maybe it will come back to you!¡±


    Wang Qi sighed and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Ah¡­


    I really am getting old.¡±


    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Yes, you must be getting old¡­¡±


    The directors around exchanged glances!


    No¡­


    It wasn¡¯t that Wang Qi was getting old!


    Chen Cang, you think we¡¯re all getting old.


    One by one, aging and declining, hard of hearing, sight failing, even the brain not working well¡­


    No no no!


    You just think we¡¯ve all become senile, with brains that are no longer sharp.


    The four directors now looked at each other, their gazes firm, resolved to pull Chen Cang down at the first hint of incompetence and put Professor Wang on the field.


    At this moment, for the first time, they began to doubt Chen Cang¡¯s reliability.


    Meanwhile, Yang Kaihua eyed this luxurious surgical team, feeling secure and reassured.


    But when he looked at Chen Cang, for some reason, he felt¡­


    a bit more apprehensive.


    Life always has a way of giving you a thrill when you least expect it.


    After all, Chen Cang was still the chief surgeon.


    After discussing various scenarios with Lu Jie, and Tao Zi having completed the registration with Wang Qi, the group headed towards the operating room.


    Nurse Lele and Xiao Lin stripped Cheng Cheng of her clothes, and the little girl, looking at Yang Kaihua, shyly said.


    ¡°Uncle Yang, close your eyes!¡±


    Yang Kaihua gave an awkward smile, ¡°Alright, uncle will close his eyes.


    Cheng Cheng, after you wake up, uncle will take you to eat something tasty, okay?¡±


    Cheng Cheng shook her head, ¡°No good!¡±


    Yang Kaihua asked, ¡°Why not?¡±


    The little girl¡¯s eyes suddenly filled with tears, ¡°I¡¯m not just going for a check-up, I¡¯m going for surgery, right?¡±


    Everyone fell silent.


    Lele said with a smile, ¡°Cheng Cheng, don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not a big operation, you¡¯ll wake up after a sleep.¡±


    Cheng Cheng glanced at everyone, sighed like an adult.


    ¡°Are you stupid¡­


    to think I¡¯m still a child!¡±


    ¡°Stop being so childish, okay¡­¡±


    The crowd was taken aback, watching this bare child with hands on hips, ridiculing everyone, unable to help wanting to laugh.


    Yet¡­


    They couldn¡¯t bring themselves to laugh.


    Cheng Cheng sighed and said to Lu Jie, ¡°Mommy!¡±


    Lu Jie asked in a forced casual tone, ¡°What is it, Cheng Cheng?¡±


    ¡°`


    Cheng Cheng cautiously whispered into her mom¡¯s ear, ¡°Mom, I think Uncle Yang likes you¡­¡±


    When Lu Jie heard this, she couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry at the same time.


    She rolled her eyes, ¡°Get back to bed quickly, don¡¯t catch a cold.¡±


    Cheng Cheng giggled.


    She burrowed into the blanket, popped her little head out, grinned, and with one missing front tooth, she looked adorable when she smiled.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The nurse wrapped Cheng Cheng in a blanket and switched her to a gurney, pushing her into the operating room.


    As Lele was handling the surgical items, a notebook fell out.


    Just as Lele was about to put the notebook away, Lu Jie happened to see it.


    Curiously, she said, ¡°Give that to me.¡±


    The nurse was startled, but handed the notebook to Lu Jie.


    ¡°Sister Lu, what is this¡­?¡±


    Lu Jie smiled, ¡°This is Cheng Cheng¡¯s diary.


    At some point this little one started keeping a diary.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lele became instantly curious.


    She really wanted to know what the inner world of this eight-year-old child was like.


    Lu Jie opened the notebook and began to read.


    The first page bore three words: ¡°Diary Book.¡±


    After turning the page, the first diary entry read:


    ¡°The teacher says a diary is our friend.


    If we write down our unhappy thoughts, we can feel happy, and if we write down happy thoughts, we will be even happier¡­¡±


    ¡°Today, I was bullied by big-headed Qi.


    He pushed me¡­


    He said I didn¡¯t have a dad, and I got really angry.


    I wanted to fight back, but then I remembered Dad told me I¡¯m a little police officer, and I shouldn¡¯t hit people¡­¡±


    ¡°Mom asked why my clothes were torn, but I didn¡¯t dare to say others bullied me.


    I was afraid it would make Mom unhappy.


    Mom has been crying more and more, so I mustn¡¯t make her angry.


    Cheng Cheng has grown up and must be a well-behaved child.¡±


    ¡°Today, I feel very uncomfortable.


    I can¡¯t breathe properly.


    Maybe it¡¯s because the big-headed ones hit me, but big head is still my good friend.


    He gave me a candy and protected me from being bullied by others¡­¡±


    ¡°Today, the teacher praised me¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The diary documented many pieces of Cheng Cheng¡¯s daily life, full of small and trivial details.


    Reading this made Lu Jie¡¯s heart sour.


    It was then that she realized her child had really become sensible.


    She had so many grievances, which she never shared, learning to keep them to herself from a young age.


    The sensible girl didn¡¯t want to worry her, aiming to be a little police officer to protect her mother.


    Before she knew it, tears slid from Lu Jie¡¯s eyes onto the notebook, and she quickly wiped them dry.


    But in the last few pages, as Lu Jie read the diary entries, she could no longer hold back her tears, which fell like a breached dam, unstoppable.


    She lay on the bed, wailing and crying.


    Lele and Xiao Lin had just finished tidying up when they saw Lu Jie¡¯s emotional collapse.


    They hurried to comfort her while on the diary beside them, neatly written were the recent entries, with pinyin next to the words Cheng Cheng did not know how to write.


    ¡°Today is¡­


    the weather is clear.


    Today, a man crashed into Mom¡¯s car, frightening her quite a bit¡­


    That man is pretty handsome, but not as handsome as Dad.


    He gave Mom a lot of money¡­


    I started feeling unwell again.


    I couldn¡¯t breathe and it scared Mom one¡­


    the man and Mom took me to the hospital, where I met a handsome Uncle Doctor.


    I made a pinky promise with him not to tell Mom, but¡­


    Doctor Uncle broke our promise, which made Mom cry,


    However, Doctor Uncle took me for an examination, and quietly told Mom that I must be sick.


    I saw Mom quietly crying for a long time.


    At night, Mom kept crying when she went home.


    Cheng Cheng was being so good, always making Mom worry.¡±


    ¡°Today¡­


    The sky is gloomy.


    Uncle Doctor told Mom that I need surgery, which will cost a lot of money.


    I¡¯m really worried, we don¡¯t have any money left at home¡­


    Mom can¡¯t even afford to buy new clothes, and I don¡¯t want to be sick.


    I¡¯m really scared.¡±


    ¡°Today I was hospitalized.


    Mom said it was for an examination, but I know it¡¯s for surgery.


    To keep Mom from worrying, I pretended I didn¡¯t know.


    TV says surgery can kill people.


    I am really scared¡­


    I don¡¯t want to die so soon, boo-hoo¡­


    I want to be with Mom.


    She is so pitiful.


    What would she do without me¡­


    Mom cries a lot.


    If she becomes unhappy and nobody is there to wipe her tears or cheer her up, I am so scared¡­¡±


    Finally, at the bottom, there was a small line of text:


    ¡°Mom, I know you are reading Cheng Cheng¡¯s diary.


    Maybe Cheng Cheng won¡¯t come back again, and I won¡¯t be able to be with you anymore, but I hope from now on, you¡¯ll be a little happier and stop crying all the time¡­


    Otherwise, both Cheng Cheng and Dad will be very unhappy.¡±

 Chapter 682 - Chapter 682 Chapter 682 This Interatrial Septum

    ?Chapter 682: Chapter 682: This Interatrial Septum¡­


    Looks Good!


    (Extra 3 for Qingyan Xiaoguan) Chapter 682: Chapter 682: This Interatrial Septum¡­


    Looks Good!


    (Extra 3 for Qingyan Xiaoguan) The diary had traces where water stains had dried.


    It must have been Cheng Cheng, crying while writing, wetting the notebook.


    Seeing the contents of the notebook, Lele and Xiao Lin¡¯s tears also streamed down uncontrollably.


    How old is this child?


    An eight-year-old!


    So sensible it¡¯s scary.


    The lines were filled with longing for her mother, displaying her own strength, showing her care and protection for her mother.


    The childish sentences made several women cry with heartache.


    This was a child¡¯s remembrance of her mother!


    The head nurse happened to pass by, saw the three of them crying desperately, and was dumbfounded.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    She picked up the diary and glanced through it, and as a mother herself, she couldn¡¯t help but blur with tears.


    This diary was just too devastating to women.


    After a long time.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Everyone finally consoled Lu Jie.


    ¡°Sister Lu, go wait outside the operating room.


    There might be some papers to signa€|¡± Lele said with red eyes to Lu Jie.


    Lu Jie nodded.


    She sniffled.


    Took a deep breath.


    a€|


    a€|


    Inside the operating room.


    Wang Qi suddenly asked Chen Cang, ¡°Did you measure the McGoon ratio and the pulmonary artery index?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°All done, cardiovascular angiography showed good development of the pulmonary arteries on both sides, McGoon ratio a¡ë£¤ 1.5, pulmonary artery index a¡ë£¤ 180mm2/m2.¡±


    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s report, Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.


    Although it was just a simple sentence, it could test many things.


    Wang Qi was somewhat surprised at when exactly Chen Cang had learned this type of surgery, but at this moment, they could only take it one step at a time!


    Chen Cang glanced at Cheng Cheng¡¯s face and took a deep breath!


    He was determined to give his all in this surgery!


    This little girl, so sensible that it hurt, she deserved to live carefree like everyone else.


    Her father¡¯s departure did not bring her down; on the contrary, it made her even more positive and optimistic about life.


    Chen Cang turned around and said to the nurse, ¡°Scalpel.¡±


    Yuan Yuan nodded and handed over the scalpel.


    Truth be told, Yuan Yuan had never seen such a surgery before.


    A major operation wasn¡¯t just a test for the lead surgeon; it demanded a lot from every participant!


    It required concerted effort, mutual hard work, and collaborative assistance.


    Wang Qi stood opposite to Chen Cang.


    In four years, the two were reunited, and unexpectedly, it was over an operating table.


    However, today.


    The two switched places.


    One stood in the position of the lead surgeon, the other in the position of the first assistant.


    Chen Cang gave Wang Qi a familiar look, and Wang Qi was caught off guard!


    He hurriedly picked up three tweezers.


    He paused!


    Could it be that Chen Cang really learned the surgery from himself?


    Because he knew that look all too well, and those who were used to him knew it!


    Because it was the modified Senning procedure he often used!


    No one else ever had it.


    Could it really be that Chen Cang had learned from him?


    At that moment, Chen Cang made a vertical incision in the right atrium and an atrial septum incision on the left side of the atrioventricular groove, 1.0a€¡°1.5 cm away from the terminal crest!


    Surgeries in children were different from adults; it was crucial to choose the right distance and force.


    Once the incision was made, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up!


    The surgical field in view: the upper and lower ends reached the plane of the upper and lower edges of the right pulmonary vein, just right for surgery!


    A stunning beginning!


    At that moment, Qin Yueming and the others breathed a sigh of relief.


    So Chen Cang really was skilled in this operation!


    However, Wang Qi¡¯s eyes widened.


    This kid, he had some skills!


    Chen Cang raised an eyebrow and shot Wang Qi a glare.


    Wang Qi¡¯s heart skipped a beat!


    He suddenly realized his mistake, his face flushed with embarrassment as he quickly grabbed the forceps and caught both ends, holding them steady.


    Remembering the look Chen Cang gave him, Wang Qi felt a complex mix of emotions.


    But Chen Cang felt great, not for any other reason but because he was all too familiar with that look.


    He had been on the receiving end of Wang Qi¡¯s glares for quite some time.


    Now, he finally had the chance to return the favor.


    Suddenly, Chen Cang felt his state of mind improve greatly, predicting that he would perform very well in this surgery.


    It was just like something out of a novel, an ¡°enlightened mind!¡±


    The surgery was only just beginning, with Chen Cang first needing to repair the defects between the atria and ventricles, as well as those between the ventricles and arteries.


    This process was precise and detailed.


    There could be no carelessness.


    Just as there could be no errors.


    These interventricular defects were the primary factors compensating for Cheng Cheng¡¯s malformed cardiac structure.


    The initially displaced circulation relied on these incorrect structures, but now it was time to correct them, and that meant repairing all of the misarranged parts.


    This process had to take place on a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, under conditions where the heart was calm and showed no abnormalities.


    Tao Zi turned around and called out, ¡°Cardiopulmonary bypass established!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ready to begin the operation!


    When it comes down to it, surgery really is a step-by-step process.


    The operation to correct congenital transposition of the great arteries combined with internal cardiac malformations seemed complicated, but when broken down, it was actually comprised of two main parts!


    The first part was: adjusting the large vessels with a double switch, correcting the transposed great arteries.


    The second part was: repairing the defects in the interventricular septum to restore the natural appearance of a normal person¡¯s heart.


    In essence, this was a typical ¡°cardiac cosmetic surgery!¡±


    If this were in the past, even with perfect skills, Chen Cang might not have fully grasped the core elements of the operation.


    But now, he was completely different!


    Not only did Chen Cang possess a perfect skill level in repairing large vessels, but he also had a perfect touch for vascular anastomosis.


    Furthermore, he was a master at repairing interventricular septal defects.


    Combining these two skills, Chen Cang felt that once the monthly time effect expired, his procedure for correcting congenital transposition of the great arteries combined with internal cardiac malformations would at least reach a master level!


    However!


    Dreams are full of hope.


    And clearly, reality was even fuller than dreams!


    Because Chen Cang encountered something quite amusing.


    In a scenario similar to what he had experienced during cosmetic surgeries,


    he was shocked to discover as he was about to repair the large interventricular defect through the incision in the right atrium and the mitral valve orifice,


    that he could see yellow shadows.


    After Chen Cang¡¯s beautiful eyes activated,


    those discordant sections of the septum began to simulate adjustments continuouslya€|


    About half a minute later, Chen Cang finally found an excellent position.


    At this location, the yellow label of ¡°Interventricular Septum¡± disappeared!


    Clearly, this meant that repairing it in this way would be a success!


    A thrill of happiness shot through Chen Cang, and he smiled.


    The surrounding directors, seeing Chen Cang staring at the open atrial septum and giggling, felt a chill down their spines.


    ¡°Chen¡­


    what¡¯s so funny?¡± Wang Qi swallowed hard, fearing he might provoke Chen Cang¡­


    If this guy had some peculiar quirks, they must be stopped at all costs.


    Chen Cang suddenly broke into a grin: ¡°Don¡¯t you think this heart is beautiful?¡±


    Wang Qi: ???


    Qin Yueming: ???


    Tao Zi: !!!


    Yang Jianshu said, ¡°I¡­


    I need to use the restroom.


    Can I have that cell phone?¡±


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned: ¡°Director Yang, come back and watch the surgery!


    Look how good-looking this septum is.¡±


    Yang Jianshu shook his head: ¡°No no no, I¡¯m going to call the police, no, I mean the restroom!¡±


    a€|


    a€|

    ?Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Why Pick on Me!


    Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Why Pick on Me!


    ¡°Going to the bathroom?¡±


    emmmm¡­


    Yang Jianshu¡¯s words sounded very tempting!


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    What Xia Gaofeng and some other directors said made them feel a sudden urge to pee!


    Yeah!


    Everyone looked at each other and all let out a sigh.


    Alas!


    Being of a certain age, having poor prostatic fluid and bad kidneys, it¡¯s normal to have frequent and urgent urination.


    Scared?


    Impossible!


    Men who had treated their anatomy teachers as friends since university and watched ¡°Hannibal¡± and ¡°Saw¡± as if they were just dinner, scared?


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã0


    But¡­


    Looking at Chen Cang¡¯s gaze, they still felt somewhat creeped out!


    Goodness, he looks at the interventricular septum the way one would look at a lover, his eyes practically shaping hearts, can you even believe it?


    Wang Qi suddenly felt a bit relieved!


    Thank goodness they didn¡¯t keep Chen Cang.


    Otherwise, just the thought of it would disturb his sleep at night.


    Yang Jianshu, hesitating for three seconds upon catching Chen Cang¡¯s stare, decided to come back anyway.


    After all!


    The few properties he¡¯d bought with Cui Yuanwu hadn¡¯t paid off yet, and to leave so early¡­


    what a loss that would be¡­


    Chen Cang went about his business without a change in expression.


    He glanced at the interventricular septum, picked up the polyester patch, and carefully cut out a circle!


    Chen Cang was very satisfied, after all, the circle was very regular, and ?€ must be accurate too!


    The patch was a bit smaller than the defect, and Chen Cang said to Yuan Yuan, ¡°Yuan Yuan, thread a 5-0.¡±


    The suturing that followed was extremely precise.


    This was the part of the surgery that most tested skill and was crucial to its success!


    At this moment, Yang Jianshu simply couldn¡¯t look away anymore!


    He put his life concerns aside and stared intently at Chen Cang¡¯s repair of the interventricular septum.


    The other directors did the same!


    Actually, this process was just like¡­


    darning socks!


    That¡¯s right!


    That¡¯s how Chen Cang saw it!


    Chen Cang felt that if he were to take up sewing, he would certainly be no less skilled than Qin Yue.


    With his own talent, placed in ancient times, if there really was a ¡°Sunflower Manual,¡± he would at the very least be a character of Dongfang Bubai¡¯s caliber.


    In terms of skill, and beauty too¡­


    He shook his head!


    Chen Cang did a circle of mattress suturing with the 5-0 needle threaded with a pledge on both ends.


    The anterior superior edge of the defect was sutured on the right ventricular side, 2-3mm from the edge of the defect, and the other edges were sutured on the left ventricular side!


    This subtle maneuver immediately drew sidelong glances from the onlookers!


    A very delicate operation.


    Because doing so had a clear advantage: it avoided cardiac conduction block.


    Chen Cang¡¯s suturing became even more precise; he stitched every needle through the edge of the patch, pushed down the knot, and this whole process could not be rusheda€¡±it required ample patience.


    To repair the defect as perfectly as possible!


    The directors immediately laughed happily, glad they had held off going to the bathroom, or they would have almost missed this spectacular moment.


    However, beyond the excitement, they felt a bit sentimental in their hearts!


    Chen Cang¡¯s level was really getting higher and higher.


    Whether it be repairing the heart or suturing the major vessels, Chen Cang was truly a lead player from the start.


    It was precisely such a strong foundation that made Chen Cang adept in any surgery he encountered in the future, picking it up quickly!


    Just like now, watching Chen Cang¡¯s surgery gave the crowd a sort of carefree pleasure.


    What was originally a very burdensome and stressful surgery seemed as casual as a gentle breeze brushing over the hills under Chen Cang¡¯s effortless touch.


    Really impressive!


    And Wang Qi was actually the most shocked!


    No, that¡¯s not it!


    Not just shocked, but pleasantly surprised!


    This kid¡¯s technique is seventy to eighty percent similar to hisa€¡±could it really be that he learned it from me?


    Am I¡­


    actually this awesome?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next one is a rather annoying surgery.


    It¡¯s the issue of the surgical order for atrial and great artery transposition!


    It¡¯s just like the debate over whether bean curd is better salty or sweet.


    Experts have differing opinions, with most performing the atrial transposition first, followed by the great artery transposition!


    A minority do the great artery transposition first, then the atrial transposition.


    Wang Qi and others were also staring at Chen Cang, and Wang Qi curiously asked,


    ¡°Little Chen, which do you do first, the atrium or the great artery?¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t speak, but gave Wang Qi a meaningful look.


    Wang Qi, upon receiving such a look from Chen Cang, suddenly froze!


    For some reason, he felt¡­


    somewhat guilty!


    Did I¡­


    say something wrong?


    Is the question I asked very stupid?


    I¡¯d put a lot of thought into asking such a sophisticated question, just to show off how brilliant I am.


    What is that expression for???


    He glanced at Qin Yueming, only to see he was staring at him too¡­


    Everyone was staring at him!


    Did I really say something wrong?


    Is this question¡­


    that unsophisticated?


    Suddenly, Wang Qi¡¯s skin crawled, and he anxiously asked, ¡°Little Chen, why are you staring at me like that?¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Oh¡­


    I was also pondering how to answer your question.¡±


    Wang Qi: ¡­


    Chen Cang muttered without changing his expression: An eye for an eye!


    How long did you glare at me back then?


    Have you forgotten so quickly?


    Don¡¯t act so innocent.


    Chen Cang said indifferently, ¡°Actually, both methods are viable, but ultimately, it depends on which one is more suitable for the patient.¡±


    Upon hearing this, several directors immediately pricked up their ears!


    Hardcore stuff is coming!


    Absolute hardcore, solid content!


    Definitely need to take notes.


    After all, this issue has always been a problem, but no one has ever explained the reasoning behind it.


    Could it be¡­


    Does Chen Cang really have a different insight?


    Chen Cang glanced at the crowd, shook his head, and took the scalpel from Yuan Yuan¡¯s hand.


    He made an incision slowly, opening the anterior edge of the atrial septum through a longitudinal incision in the right atrium, and made ladder-shaped cuts at both ends.


    He didn¡¯t say more; some things are better left unsaid.


    Only when they¡¯ve seen enough and come to realize it on their own will they truly understand!


    When you explain it, they simply don¡¯t grasp it deeply enough!


    Chen Cang stitched a polytetrafluoroethylene patch to the left side and both the upper and lower parts of the posterior wall of the left atrium, thus separating the pulmonary veins from the left side of the tricuspid valve.


    Initially, everyone was puzzled by Chen Cang¡¯s silence, but¡­


    as Chen Cang completed this series of operations and freed the nearby pulmonary vein!


    The crowd suddenly discovered in astonishment that after this treatment, the other half of the defect looked clearer, as if it was now easier to manage?!


    Everyone was suddenly shocked!


    This is too miraculous, right?


    This scene looked very surprising, but everyone was baffled.


    How did Chen Cang come to the decision, then conclude, to start with the atrium?


    Chen Cang remained silent, and so did the rest, not daring to ask.


    After all, the ones present were all directors, and who would want to look like a fool by asking¡­


    Will you ask?


    Qin Yueming thought to himself, after all, this is my niece¡¯s husband, I have plenty of time.


    With this thought, he glanced at Yang Jianshu.


    Tao Zi sneered and cast a glance at Yang Jianshu; after all, Chen Cang was from our hospital, we have plenty of time!


    And Xia Gaofeng just smiled faintly, thinking, Your teacher is still under my wing, I¡¯ve got the upper hand!


    With that thought, he too glanced at Yang Jianshu.


    At this moment, Yang Jianshu!


    Truly panicked!


    Are you all ganging up on me?


    Do you think because of me, the broom at home can stand upright?

    Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Leave After the Deed, Concealing Achievements and Fame!


    Chen Cang¡¯s surgery, as it progressed, made the audience frown more and more.


    Even Wang Qi began to furrow his brow frequently.


    Because Chen Cang¡¯s surgery was clearly beyond what was expected!


    How can this series of maneuvers be so incomprehensible?


    When did I teach you this?


    I can¡¯t even figure it out myself, so it was me who taught it to you?


    However, seeing the directors around him staring, Wang Qi felt tremendous pressure, and he had to maintain an appearance of calm and respected composure.


    But¡­


    I clearly don¡¯t understand; pretending to be so calm is obviously a bit too much!


    The pressure is too great.


    Feeling the intense pressure, Wang Qi became very nervous, with sweat beginning to seep through his back.


    But at this moment, Chen Cang¡¯s movements became faster and faster!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã?


    Chen Cang, who was already adept at operating on the major vessels of the heart, now acted without any restraint.


    A set of maneuvers were so flashy that it made a group of directors¡¯ scalps tingle.


    It was as if they had returned to the carefree days of an internship, watching the director perform with skill, while they stood by cluelessly yet had to shout in admiration.


    How similar it was!


    How complex the feelings were!


    ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    Thankfully, people like Xiong Kangyu had seen Chen Cang¡¯s major vessel repairs and anastomosis work, so they managed not to lose their composure too much.


    However, Wang Qi, pretending to be calm, was now feeling parched and tongue-tied!


    Because Chen Cang¡¯s operation forced him to swallow his saliva repeatedly to suppress his shock!


    This damn, these are such enchanting maneuvers!


    Could an average person achieve this?


    Left, rear, right ¨C the major vessel anastomosis on all three sides was performed by Chen Cang with continuous sutures using 6-0 and 7-0 polypropylene threads.


    To Wang Qi, this process somewhat resembled a circus performance!


    This is tooa€| tooa€| too incredible, right?


    This level of vascular anastomosis was nearly on par with his own¡­


    teacher!


    Precise repair!


    Quick suturing!


    A surgical rhythm with no sense of dissonance!


    Step by step, the tight and seamless surgical transition was applied!


    This left Wang Qi, who had initially intended to test Chen Cang, feeling somewhat out of his depth.


    No wonder he scored full marks!


    No wonder!


    If this level isn¡¯t enough to dominate the national cardiovascular surgery skills competition, who else could?


    It seemed as if Chen Cang had already arranged the surgical procedures in his mind, and he began to push through each step precisely.


    The final step of end-to-end anastomosis between the distal end of the aorta and the proximal end of the pulmonary artery was critical!


    It could even be considered one of the final finishing touches!


    Wang Qi, anxious, glanced at Chen Cang, fearing that he would suture too quickly and cause damage, and quickly said, ¡°Chen, slow down on this step.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, smiling, ¡°Okay, Director Wang.¡±


    This exchange, in the eyes of the onlookers, was nothing short of astonishing.


    Seeing Wang Qi so composed, they were filled with deep admiration!


    Director Wang is truly formidable!


    No wonder Chen Cang is so skilled!


    The crowd nodded in agreement.


    The surgery continued, and before long, Chen Cang finished!


    Everyone closed their eyes tightly, not to let their knowledge escape.


    It was too advanced!


    The surgery was good to watch, but there was a lot they didn¡¯t understand.


    Let it go, after the surgery, find a chance to pull Chen Cang aside at home/the hospital/the department for a chat.


    At this moment, the most panicked was Yang Jianshu.


    He¡­


    was truly frightened!


    He looked at Wang Qi with a face full of longing; this was Chen Cang¡¯s teacher, he planned to ask him for a nice meal later, to see if he could get a good talk.


    After all, he had just offended Chen Cang, but¡­


    wasn¡¯t Chen Cang¡¯s technique just a bit of what he learned from Wang Qi during his internship?


    Wang Qi must be amazing!


    Thinking this, Yang Jianshu was relieved.


    Yet, what he didn¡¯t know was.


    At this moment, Wang Qi was even more panicked than him!


    Now he knew, Chen Cang¡¯s surgery indeed learned from himself.


    Buta€|


    That¡¯s all there was to it!


    It was as if he had taught Chen Cang addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and one day, Chen Cang suddenly claimed he had solved that what¡¯s-it-called Goldbach¡¯s conjecture!


    Was this Wang Qi¡¯s teaching?


    Definitelya€|


    Buta€| thisa€| this was indescribable!


    Wang Qi took a deep breath, feeling some regret, a touch of melancholy, and even more, a sense of wistfulness.


    If he had known, he would have paid for Chen Cang to attend his¡­


    graduate school!


    Within Peking University Third Hospital, several female graduate students of different ages all sneezed in unison.


    Who¡¯s cursing me???


    If that were the case, perhaps he himself would have already made a name abroad by now!


    Alasa€|


    What a pity!


    The surgery finally came to an end, a very successful operation.


    Chen Cang personally completed the final tasks.


    He went out to wash his hands, ready to share the good news with Lu Jie.


    Outside the operating room, many people were concerned about and cared for the little girl.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile as he watched her sleep.


    The surgery was really smooth.


    So smooth that even Chen Cang hadn¡¯t expected it.


    Even the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome didn¡¯t occur, though Chen Cang had prepared for all sorts of contingencies.


    It seemed that heaven had a special regard for this little girl.


    Sometimes, you can¡¯t be superstitious about surgeries.


    After all, many accidents are simply inexplicable.


    A surgery that is supposedly very simple might result in all kinds of unexpected events, even if one is extremely careful or cautious.


    The human body is ultimately too mysterious, and medicine is still a developing discipline.


    All of these require a process!


    When Chen Cang was the first to leave for handwashing, several people followed suit.


    Wang Qi praised him, ¡°Little Chen, your surgery was really well done!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, ¡°Director Wang, this is what I learned from you.


    You¡¯re too kind.¡±


    Um!


    Wang Qi felt pleased hearing this, and the admiring looks from the other directors around him were even more gratifying!


    But he clearly understood.


    How could he not know his own level of skill?


    Chen Cang added another comment, ¡°So after all, it was because of your good teaching!¡±


    Chen Cang had no psychological pressure in passing the buck to Director Wang.


    It just so happened he couldn¡¯t find a reason to explain how he learned by himself.


    Director Wang¡¯s timing was impeccable; now everything fell into place logically, appearing very reasonable, and no one could say much about it!


    Chen Cang was the first to leave the room, pushing the gurney out.


    Behind him, Qin Yueming and a few directors stopped Wang Qi, couldn¡¯t help being curious, and asked, ¡°Director Wang, did Chen Cang learn his surgery from you?¡±


    Wang Qi naturally shook his head in denial, smiling as he said, ¡°After all, little Chen has real talent, and he learned it well.


    I didn¡¯t expect him to have made even greater progress in the three years since I saw him last!¡±


    Hearing Wang Qi so humbly, everyone was taken aback!


    What is a true master?


    This is a true master!


    Sweeping away the limelight after the event, concealing one¡¯s skills and achievements!


    After everyone had left and it was time to change clothes in the locker room.


    ¡°This¡­


    Professor Wang, was little Chen¡¯s surgery taught by you?¡± Yang Jianshu rubbed his hands together, unable to resist asking.


    Wang Qi chuckled, ¡°Yes!


    That kid little Chen has a good learning ability.


    Oh, Director Yang, what¡¯s up?¡±


    Yang Jianshu laughed along, embarrassed to ask, ¡°This¡­


    I didn¡¯t quite grasp some of the details earlier, and I wanted to consult with you, Professor Wang!


    How about¡­


    dinner tonight?¡±


    Wang Qi glanced down at his Rolex, suddenly startled, ¡°Oh dear, I forgot, my high-speed train will be late.


    This¡­


    Director Yang, let¡¯s have a thorough discussion next time, I need to go first!¡±


    Yang Jianshu: MMP!


    a€|


    a€|


    ps: Thanks to ¡°A Certain Teller¡±, ¡°Disdain to Change Name¡±, ¡°Night Travel 1987¡± for the three friends¡¯ 10000 reward!


    Keep it up!


    Ali give!

 Chapter 685 - Chapter 685 Chapter 685 Beautiful Heart

    ?Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Beautiful Heart Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Beautiful Heart Every rescue was a process of improvement for Chen Cang, and each heart surgery increased his curiosity and wonder about this powerhouse of the human body!


    If one says the internal organs are the closest to the soul.


    Then the heart is the hub that links the soul to the body.


    Following behind Chen Cang, Qin Yueming couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Xiao Chen, why did you choose to apply for a position in thoracic surgery?


    I¡¯ve heard you¡¯re quite good at orthopedics and hepatobiliary surgery, and Director Qian Liang has always favored you.¡±


    Chen Cang, who was washing his hands, suddenly paused, and everyone around stared at him.


    Perhaps they would hear some special words from Chen Cang¡¯s mouth.


    Such as: how formidable thoracic surgery is¡­


    how glorious the thoracic surgeons are¡­


    And so on!


    Chen Cang sighed.


    If it weren¡¯t for the temptation of a hidden profession, he swore he had no interest in that busty but brainless woman!


    Isn¡¯t Qin Xiaotian charming?


    Thinking of Meng Xi, Chen Cang felt his liver was stifled with anger, evolving towards mammary gland hyperplasia and nodules if it went on like this for a long time!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Chen Cang felt that he wouldn¡¯t become Dongyang¡¯s miracle but Dongyang¡¯s oddity!


    After all¡­


    Imagine one day in the future, on an evening with the sun setting, the chief of the emergency department, Director Chen, doing an ultrasound and discovering three huge mammary nodules!


    That would surely draw the onlookers of defeated subordinates, who would mercilessly strike while he was under anesthesia!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang felt he should maintain his health, he must stay healthy!


    He couldn¡¯t give those defeated subordinates a chance!


    Especially¡­


    Chen Cang turned to glance at Yang Jianshu, he just couldn¡¯t afford to have heart disease!


    This guy¡¯s look was filled with personal grievances!


    Chen Cang, observing the expectant faces around him, all staring at him, waiting for some ¡°Thoracic surgery is badass¡± kind of talk.


    Chen Cang was really in a dilemma!


    He sighed, looked at everyone and said, ¡°First go and tell the family about the successful rescue.


    ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    I believe they are very anxious right now.


    I¡¯ll tell you the rest later.¡±


    The crowd, seeing the depth in Chen Cang¡¯s eyes, immediately grew excited.


    There must be a story!


    Everyone loves to hear about the stories of geniuses, and they can use them to motivate their own graduate students as well.


    So, they all headed outside.


    Little did they know, a crowd had already gathered outside!


    ¡­


    Being past nine o¡¯clock at night, many off-duty detectives had arrived, and even many leaders from the public security bureau made their appearance.


    As the head of the Second Provincial Hospital, Qin Xiaoyuan naturally couldn¡¯t be absent.


    Even a number of TV reporters had shown up!


    After Cheng Cheng¡¯s situation went public, it instantly attracted the attention of people from all sectors of society.


    The city leaders were very concerned about the Lu Jie family, and upon hearing that Cheng Cheng was undergoing surgery, everyone converged outside the operating room.


    Everyone eagerly awaited the news of the surgery¡¯s success!


    Each minute felt incredibly long for Lu Jie, as if even breathing became a tool for marking time.


    Yang Kaihua stood in the distance, heart in knots.


    Zhang Keqin, Wu Gang, and others all wore solemn expressions; Cheng Cheng was someone they had watched grow up, and no one wanted to see any complications arise.


    And¡­


    at this very moment, the most worried was Qin Xiaoyuan!


    He was extremely anxious!


    Especially after finding out from the head nurse, Li Ying, that today¡¯s chief surgeon was Chen Cang, he grew even more worried.


    Because if this surgery was successful, everything would be fine!


    But if it failed¡­


    The consequences were unimaginable.


    Because Cheng Cheng had become the embodiment of countless people¡¯s hopes, expectations, and even a mixture of complicated factors.


    If it failed, the impact would be tremendous!


    ¡°Creaka€|¡±


    Just at that moment, the sound of a door opening was heard, and Chen Cang actively pushed the bed out of the operating room.


    Everyone immediately stood up and stared at Chen Cang.


    Chen Cang looked at the crowd and said calmly, ¡°The surgery went very smoothly!¡±


    With those words, Lu Jie immediately burst into tears and quickly bowed, ¡°Dr.


    Chen, thank you so much.


    You are truly Cheng Cheng¡¯s lifesaver!¡±


    Wu Gang and others raised their hands and saluted Chen Cang together!


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan was instantly overjoyed.


    It was all right, all right!


    At this point, a man with a commanding presence and bushy eyebrows stepped forward, looking at Chen Cang and reaching out his hand.


    Chen Cang hurriedly took it.


    The man nodded and said, ¡°Thank you, young comrade.


    You saved not just a child, but the hopes of a group of people.


    Thank you!¡±


    After speaking, the man gave a salute!


    Chen Cang was at a loss, not knowing how to respond to the salute¡­


    Should he return a military salute, join his hands in prayer, or make the sign of the cross in front of his chest¡­


    How heart-wrenching!


    Is there a salute for doctors?


    a€|


    Seeing so many people around, Qin Xiaoyuan quickly said, ¡°This¡­


    take Cheng Cheng to the ICU, and monitor her closely¡­


    Let¡­¡±


    ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t crowd here.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t disturb the patient¡¯s rest¡­¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan went to oversee the work, while Chen Cang was surrounded by a group of female reporters.


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen, this time you performed surgery on a martyr¡¯s child, was the pressure great?¡±


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen, you are only 27 years old and have won the National Cardiothoracic Surgery Skills Competition.


    Did you feel pressure doing this surgery?¡±


    ¡°Dr.


    Chen, what are your thoughts on cardiothoracic surgery?¡±


    a€|


    Facing countless questions, Chen Cang took a deep breath and said, ¡°I have another surgery coming up, so I¡¯ll just say a few words.¡±


    ¡°The heart is the organ I love the most, and it is also the organ I am most familiar with.


    I have a special affection for it, and I enjoy observing it, stopping it, fixing it!


    Making it come alive again, just like how a mechanic loves opening the hood of a car to fix the engine!¡±


    ¡°As for entering the profession, there wasn¡¯t much reason, but after I understood how the heart works, everything else just followed logically!¡±


    ¡°Love what you do, and do what you love.


    For the heart, I feel that I am passionate, not only because its shape is so perfect, but also because the most fascinating thing about it is its movement!¡±


    ¡°Its rhythm, its cadence, its efficiency, its sound, they are all so distinctive!¡±


    ¡°The fluctuations of the heart¡¯s electricity are like the tango of Argentina, but it is more elegant than the tango.


    The beautiful QRS wave, the familiar P wave, the mischievous T wavea€| each cycle keeps appearing, untila€| the last moments of life!¡±


    ¡°If the heart beats 60 times a minute, pumping out 5 liters of blood, that¡¯s 3,600 times an hour, 86,400 times a day, and over 31 million times a year.


    Over the course of eighty years of a person¡¯s life, it will beat 2.5 billion times!¡±


    ¡°To be honest, such a heavy workload, it¡¯s very tiring!¡±


    ¡°When the heartbeat stops, the brain and nervous system will be damaged in less than five minutes, followed by brain death!¡±


    ¡°So, as a doctor, I feel like I¡¯m a friend of the heart.


    I understand it, and I should help it!¡±


    ¡°Here, I also want to tell everyone to take good care of your heart because only it will cling to you with unyielding attachment!¡±


    At these words, the scene fell suddenly silent!

 Chapter 687 - Chapter 687 Chapter 687 Is this

    ?Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Is this¡­


    undercover?


    (Extra 5 for Qingyan Xiaoguan alliance) Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Is this¡­


    undercover?


    (Extra 5 for Qingyan Xiaoguan alliance) Early the next morning, Chen Cang arrived at the ICU.


    After changing his shoes, he entered and saw Cheng Cheng awake.


    Her large eyes were fixated on Chen Cang.


    Upon affirming their eye contact, her eyes beamed with a smile, ¡°Uncle, thank you for saving me!¡±


    Chen Cang smiled back and asked, ¡°Doctors are here to heal and save people, just like how police uncles protect our country!


    By the way, do you feel any discomfort anywhere?¡±


    Cheng Cheng shook her head, ¡°No, I just feel like I¡¯ve slept for a very long time.


    It was so comfortable, and my chest doesn¡¯t feel tight anymore.


    I feel great all over!¡±


    After checking the data records with the nurses, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï


    There was nothing wrong.


    Just as he was about to leave, Cheng Cheng called out to him, ¡°Uncle.¡±


    Chen Cang was startled and turned back, ¡°What is it?¡±


    Cheng Cheng smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m actually not angry, and I don¡¯t blame you for telling Mom our secret.¡±


    Chen Cang ruffled Cheng Cheng¡¯s hair, ¡°Don¡¯t touch that, rest well, you¡¯ll be better in a few days.¡±


    Cheng Cheng nodded, ¡°Mhm, Cheng Cheng is very obedient!¡±


    As he left the ICU, he happened to see Director Zheng looking worried and asked, ¡°Director Zheng, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zheng Yongjun saw Chen Cang, was about to shake his head, but then he thought better of it.


    Now that Chen Cang was a chief, he simply smiled and said, ¡°The chief is in a bad mood today, so be careful!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback.


    Director Li?


    Director Li Baoshan was usually in a good mood, right?


    Always cheerful and dedicated, he seemed happy every time he saw me, didn¡¯t he?


    Chen Cang shook his head and stood up, returning to the emergency department.


    Upon entering, Li Baoshan was already in the office, frowning and talking about something.


    When he saw Chen Cang come in, his expression softened a bit, and he switched to a somewhat embarrassed smile, ¡°Ah, Chen is here.¡±


    Little by little, everyone for the shift change arrived.


    Li Baoshan closed the door and sighed, ¡°Today, let¡¯s do a year-end summary.


    ?¦Ï???.§ã?


    The year 2019 is over.


    The financial statement is out, and for the whole year of 2019, we¡¯ve had a loss.


    Our hospital ranks first in losses, totaling 3.298 million!¡±


    ¡°Starting in 2021, we¡¯ll be moving to the emergency department building.


    Comrades, we¡¯re losing three million just on one floor.


    If this goes on for all eight floors, it could paralyze the hospital.¡±


    ¡°So, everyone, think of some solutions, see if there are any good measures!¡±


    At this moment, Chen Cang saw the question mark above Li Baoshan¡¯s head finally turn yellow!


    [Ding!


    Li Baoshan has issued a task: The department is still facing a financial loss, which is unfavorable for the development of the emergency building.


    As the vice-director of the department, please work hard to offer ideas and strategies!


    Upon completing the task, you¡¯ll receive a treasure chest, with the quality depending on the effectiveness of the solution!]


    After seeing the system notification, Chen Cang pondered for a moment.


    How could he make the department profitable?


    This was definitely not a problem that could be solved in a short period of time!


    Because it was undoubted that the emergency department would incur losses.


    The only way was to find other revenue streams to fill the gap.


    After all, the emergency department was the only one in the hospital that didn¡¯t have to generate profits but still needed funding.


    Chen Cang suddenly had an idea!


    Right!


    I still have a challenge task, which is to have a positive impact on the department.


    If I could complete both tasks at the same time¡­


    could I receive double the rewards?


    What could be done?


    Chen Cang was about to go to Seoul soon; what solution could be completed in three days?


    No, to be precise, there was only one day because once he returned, the task would be due!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang sighed helplessly.


    He was in a dilemma.


    A silence fell among the crowd, as this was not an issue of just a day or two, nor was it a problem unique to their hospital.


    After all¡­


    if there was an easy solution, it wouldn¡¯t have dragged on until today.


    After a long pause, Zhang Shu spoke, ¡°Director, shouldn¡¯t we revamp that Critical and Severe Illness Charity Fund we started a while ago?¡±


    Zhang Shu herself didn¡¯t sound too confident when saying this.


    After all, that charity fund had been a mere formality for so long, never been used!


    No one had donated!


    When it first started, spirits were high, but later on¡­


    After several setbacks, it never exceeded 200,000, after all, the emergency department of the provincial secondary hospital was a ¡®three no¡¯s¡¯ emergency department: no distinguishing features, no reputation, no big shot.


    Where could the money come from?


    When the construction just began, that 200,000 was there because 150,000 came from the medical company of Old Chen¡¯s wealthy wife.


    Later, there was no continuous stream of resources, and it dried up long ago.


    So much so that Chen Cang and those who had just arrived didn¡¯t even know that the hospital had something like a charitable fund.


    Yeah!


    The sign for the charitable fund had long been hidden away by the head nurse in storage, to avoid embarrassment when asked about it.


    Tian Xianglan, upon hearing Zhang Shu¡¯s words, said, ¡°I¡¯m too embarrassed to even bring out that sign!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Bingsheng¡¯s face changed, and he gave an awkward smile, ¡°Director, my wife¡¯s company is having some financial troubles, I guess¡­¡±


    Everyone almost couldn¡¯t hold back their laughter upon hearing this.


    Every time the charitable fund was brought up, Li Baoshan would always gaze affectionately for a while at the department¡¯s tycoon: Chen Bingsheng¡­


    well, his wife!


    Li Baoshan sighed.


    An Yanjun couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Maybe things will get better once the hand surgery department is set up next year.¡±


    At these words, head nurse Tian Xianglan¡¯s face immediately changed.


    ¡°Director An, don¡¯t take offense at my bluntness, but I¡­


    I feel like setting up the hand surgery department will just lead to bigger losses!¡±


    ¡°Really, look at Director Chen, he used to be so good, and now you¡¯ve led him to be so wasteful with materials¡­


    ¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s true that the patients are pitiful, but¡­


    we can¡¯t keep doing this.¡±


    ¡°I think it would be better to reorganize the charitable fund, after all, our emergency department really needs this funding¡­¡±


    After a long discussion, the topic had come back to the charitable fund.


    Listening to this, Li Baoshan was also getting a headache.


    After looking around, he turned to Chen Cang, ¡°Well, Director Chen, since you¡¯ve just taken over the department, how about you take on the charitable fund for starters?


    What do you think?¡±


    Li Baoshan didn¡¯t really have much hope; he was just saying it for the sake of saying it.


    After all, every year there was talk about the charitable fund, but it was never done well.


    Asking Chen Cang to do it was just because Chen Cang was now the director, to give him something to do, so that he could quickly get to grips with and become familiar with the department¡¯s operation.


    That was the idea.


    Raise money?


    Li Baoshan hadn¡¯t thought of that at all.


    Because he himself had tried, and it was no use¡­


    Yet, upon hearing these words, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up.


    Right!


    The Critical Condition Charitable Fund?


    Great idea!


    If it really succeeds, it would definitely have a positive impact on the development of the department.


    Killing several birds with one stone.


    With that thought, Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Mmm, Director, I¡¯ll do my best with this task.¡±


    Li Baoshan was taken aback.


    This kid, he didn¡¯t understand my point, which was that he could bluff his way through this.


    It¡¯s not that simple.


    And the head nurse and others couldn¡¯t stand to watch this.


    ¡°Director Chen, this¡­


    it¡¯s not so easy, don¡¯t take it too seriously.¡±


    Zhang Shu nodded, ¡°Yeah, just do it, show the hospital we tried, so that it looks like we made an effort.¡±


    Old Chen also nodded, ¡°Indeed, just putting on a show is good enough, to let everyone see that we actually tried!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s scalp tingled.


    Did they not see the mole Qin Xiaotian sitting there, listening patiently?


    That was the spy sent by Dean Qin!


    You¡­


    you people are so reckless?

 Chapter 689 - Chapter 689 Chapter 689 The Mysterious Director Chen

    ?Chapter 689: Chapter 689: The Mysterious Director Chen Chapter 689: Chapter 689: The Mysterious Director Chen ¡°`


    The entire office was dead silent!


    Everyone was shocked by the words of the chief steward, Tian Xianglan!


    This was one million, not one hundred yuan, and certainly not any Zimbabwean currency.


    Last year the entire department had a loss of just over three million, and now, all of a sudden, there was an influx of one and a half million.


    It was terrifying!


    Zhang Shu tentatively asked, ¡°Head Nurse¡­


    whose channel is this?


    Is it also Chen¡­


    Director Chen¡¯s?¡±


    Zhang Shu wanted to call Chen Cang by his name, but considering the face of this one and a half million, she decided to call him Director Chen!


    As Zhang Shu spoke, everyone else also turned their gaze to the head nurse, filled with curiosity!


    Tian Xianglan looked at the remittance information, swallowed hard, and tried to calm herself down:


    ¡°Hmm!

    Yes, it¡¯s also from Director Chen¡¯s fundraising channel.


    The donor is: Zheng¡¯s Group!¡±


    At this announcement, everyone around gasped in astonishment!


    It wasn¡¯t for any other reason but the fact that Zheng¡¯s Group was too familiar.


    No exaggeration, about half of those present lived in residential areas developed by Zheng¡¯s Group.


    Could Zheng¡¯s Group, the wealthiest family in Dongyang, actually know Chen Cang?


    And to have silently donated one million through Chen Cang¡¯s fundraising channel!


    Wasn¡¯t that a bit too generous?


    Could it be that Chen Cang had deep connections with Zheng¡¯s Group?


    With this in mind, everyone fell into contemplation.


    Suddenly, Chang Lina said, ¡°I have long suspected, do you think¡­


    could Director Chen be a scion of a reclusive great family hidden in our emergency department!¡±


    Next to her, Zhang Shu rolled her eyes, ¡°What for?


    To work as a temp?


    What are you thinking about all day!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chang Lina retorted, ¡°Sister Zhang, hear me out.


    Think about it, just any old fundraising channel, donates 100 million.


    Is that a minor relationship?


    It¡¯s not like money comes from a gust of wind, right?


    Therefore, the background of Director Chen is certainly worth verifying!¡±


    ¡°As for the purpose!¡±


    Chang Lina cackled with a snicker, ¡°It must be because of our department¡¯s beauty, Qin Yue!


    You guys may not know, but I saw Qin Yue and Chen Cang holding hands and going out together.


    Lele and the others saw it too!¡±


    ¡°And!


    I also know a big secret!¡±


    Everyone looked towards her.


    Aside from the gossip, Chang Lina said mysteriously, ¡°Do you know whose Porsche Paramela with the license plate number 66666 parked in our hospital belongs to?


    Can just anyone have that plate number?¡±


    Everyone became curious.


    That car was indeed strange; it would arrive every day and just park there, not moving even after work hours.


    As a result, nurses from the Provincial Second Hospital and numerous single young women had been watching with bated breath for a long time, but no one ever seemed to drive the car.


    Disappointed, people thought maybe a rich second-generation kid had arrived at the hospital.


    Chang Lina whispered, ¡°Actually, that is Director Chen¡¯s car!¡±


    At this revelation!


    A nest of snakes was stirred!


    ¡°Hiss!¡±


    ¡°Hiss!¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    At this moment, Tian Xianglan interrupted everyone and said, ¡°I¡¯ve also seen the information about the first donation of fifty thousand.


    Do you know who it is?¡±


    Everyone shook their heads: Isn¡¯t that the dumbest question?


    How could they possibly know?


    Tian Xianglan said mysteriously, ¡°It¡¯s from Tianhua Food Company, owned by the star entrepreneur of Dongyang Province, Xiao Tianhua!¡±


    Lele was familiar with this name!


    ¡°The pork king?


    Sister Xiao!¡±


    ¡°Wow, Sister Xiao is too righteous.


    I¡¯m buying two more pork knuckles after work today!¡±


    Everyone rolled their eyes.


    With one hundred and fifty thousand in their hands, Tian Xianglan also realized the seriousness of the situation.


    She hurriedly told Xiao Yan, ¡°Xiao Yan, go find the director quickly, and tell him something big has happened; he needs to come over right away!¡±


    Indeed, the situation had become no joking matter.


    Initially, for a charitable fund of two hundred thousand, the nurse station made a big fuss and specifically set up an inspection team!


    And now it was one hundred fifty thousand.


    What were they to do?


    ¡°`


    We¡¯ve got to set up a committee!


    Thinking this, Tian Xianglan couldn¡¯t wait for Xiao Yan to search and directly picked up the phone, dialing Director Li¡¯s number, ¡°Director Li, we¡¯ve got donations!


    A lot of donations!¡±


    Li Baoshan was stunned, ¡°Nurse Tian, calm down.


    How much are we talking about, exactly?¡±


    Tian Xianglan excitedly said, ¡°One million five hundred thousand!!!!¡±


    Li Baoshan shuddered, ¡°How much?


    One million five hundred thousand?¡±


    Tian Xianglan firmly replied, ¡°Yep, for certain!¡±


    Li Baoshan put down the surgical gown he had just put on and said to Zhang Youfu, ¡°Old Zhang, I¡¯ve got big things to attend to, you do this colon surgery!¡±


    Zhang Youfu was taken aback, ¡°Are you saying it stinks?


    You, Li Charcoal, always like this!¡±


    Li Baoshan didn¡¯t care and stood up directly!


    Their emergency department was going to prosper, at last a wealthy benefactor had arrived.


    One million five hundred thousand, how many people could that save?


    Thinking of this, Li Baoshan was bursting with excitement.


    So, he took three steps in two, almost wishing he could glide across the water like a mythical being!


    Just then, the phone ranga€¡±it was Tian Xianglan, who had just answered the call.


    ¡°Director!


    It¡¯s gone up!


    It¡¯s increased again!


    Two million now!¡±


    Li Baoshan became even more excited!


    And he walked even faster!


    A minute later!


    ¡°Director two million five hundred thousand!


    It¡¯s two million five hundred thousand now, Director!¡±


    Li Baoshan: ¡°Hold on, Nurse!¡±


    Tian Xianglan nodded, ¡°Yep!


    Will ensure the task is accomplished!¡±


    Li Baoshan suddenly slowed his pace, thinking that walking slower¡­


    might mean more money!


    At this moment, in the emergency office!


    A bunch of people were screaming like ghosts!


    ¡°It¡¯s risen!


    It¡¯s two million five hundred thousand now!¡±


    ¡°And there¡¯s¡­


    two million five hundred and fifty-five thousand!¡±


    ¡°And there¡¯s¡­


    three million!¡±


    ¡­


    Li Baoshan rushed back to the emergency department in a hurry.


    ¡°Nurse, give me a nitroglycerin tablet!¡±


    After Li Baoshan placed the medicine under his tongue, he said, ¡°Tell me, how much is it now?¡±


    Tian Xianglan: ¡°Three million!


    It¡¯s over three million now!¡±


    Li Baoshan felt his ventricles contract suddenly!


    ¡°Good!¡± The first ¡®good¡¯ was for himself, for he had wisely taken a nitroglycerin tablet!


    ¡°Good!¡± The second ¡®good¡¯, he cheered for the fundraising, 3 million, amazing!


    ¡°Who donated?¡± Li Baoshan tried to keep himself calm, happiness had indeed come quite unexpectedly.


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã0


    He, Li Baoshan, had been working in emergency for so many years and had never encountered such a thing before.


    Tian Xianglan hurriedly said, ¡°Chen Cang, all through Director Chen¡¯s fundraising channel!¡±


    ¡°Look, Xiao Tianhua Food Company donated five hundred thousand!


    Zheng Group donated one million!


    Yong Liang Supermarket donated five hundred thousand!


    And Zhang Dalong Transportation Team: three hundred thousand


    ¡­


    And someone named Landlady Granny donated three hundred thousand!¡±


    Li Baoshan took a deep breath, this little Chen, truly my lucky star!


    In just a few hours, they raised three million, isn¡¯t that incredible?


    Just at that moment, Chen Cang¡¯s rescue team returned, and when they got back to the office, everyone was staring at Chen Cang.


    Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang, and, excited, he said, ¡°Xiao Chen!


    On behalf of the department¡­


    I am grateful to you!¡±

 Chapter 690 - Chapter 690 Chapter 690 You Cant Be So Hard on Yourself!

    ?Chapter 690: Chapter 690: You Can¡¯t Be So Hard on Yourself!


    Chapter 690: Chapter 690: You Can¡¯t Be So Hard on Yourself!


    Chen Cang was stunned!


    ¡°What?


    What do you mean?¡±


    Li Baoshan sighed, this kid, always so good!


    Just too modest!


    Being modest about surgeries is fine.


    But he hadn¡¯t expected him to be so low-profile in life as well.


    With that thought, Li Baoshan pointed at the phone and said, ¡°Donations!


    Thank you so much for the donations.¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback, thinking of his somewhat perfunctory repost without even adding a single word, and instantly felt a bit embarrassed.


    He hurriedly said, ¡°Director, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll definitely repost it properly, write something nice, treat this as a mission, and work hard to complete it!¡±


    Li Baoshan was dumbfounded, ¡°No!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í¨À¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    I¡¯m saying you did great!¡±


    Chen Cang quickly shook his head, ¡°No, no, no, Director, I was too busy just now.


    I¡¯ll get it done properly now!


    After all, as the deputy director of the department, I must endeavor to raise my sense of responsibility and do my job well.


    I¡¯ll repost it again!¡±


    Chen Cang felt somewhat ashamed!


    The director entrusted him with such a significant task, how could he just repost it casually?


    How could he not add a touching word or two?


    With that thought, Chen Cang got down to business!


    He quickly made another appeal for donations from the wealthy, even adding a few touching words!


    Suddenly!


    Tian Xianglan¡¯s phone rang again!


    ¡°Director, more donations are coming in!¡±


    ¡°Hu Chuanjin donated: 500,000 yuan!¡±


    ¡°Xing Yu!


    The big star Xing Yu also donated 500,000 yuan!


    My goodness!¡±


    ¡°Qingyun Cultural Media Company also donated 500,000 yuan!¡±


    ¡­


    Tian Xianglan was so excited she stood up!


    ¡°Director!


    Five million!


    It¡¯s hit five million!¡±


    Li Baoshan was also startled.


    He quickly got up and picked up the phone, saying, ¡°I¡¯m calling President Qin!¡±


    The amount was too much, and Li Baoshan felt overwhelmed!


    It was time to reach out to the president!


    Upon hearing the news, Qin Xiaoyuan dropped everything and rushed towards the emergency department.


    Five million yuan!


    Charitable funds of five million yuan!


    That was no small sum!


    When Qin Xiaoyuan arrived, Li Baoshan immediately exaggerated the story: ¡°President, all this was Chen¡¯s achievement!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, and he looked at Chen Cang with excitement, ¡°Xiao Chen, not bad!


    You¡¯re fantastic; you¡¯re a meritorious figure of our Provincial Hospital No.


    2!


    You¡¯re a lifesaver for those patients waiting to be rescued!¡±


    Chen Cang now understood what was going on!


    He looked at his phone and saw donations from so many business owners, feeling deeply moved.


    To be honest, he hadn¡¯t expected this at all.


    He felt a lot were just acquaintances, and he had not expected them to donate at this time.


    But what touched Chen Cang the most was his landlady, the elderly lady.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but want to smile looking at her plump profile picture.


    She had surprisingly donated 300,000 yuan at once.


    His total rent at that time was just 20,000 yuan.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang was quite moved.


    There was also Jin Qingzhi, and Xing Yu, Guo Yonglianga€|


    Seeing the avatars of these people, Chen Cang truly felt grateful inside, thinking of calling to thank them one by one that evening.


    With that thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh!


    Seeing Chen Cang sigh, Qin Xiaoyuan was taken aback!


    He and Li Baoshan exchanged glancesa€| Was he still not satisfied?


    They had raised five million yuan!


    Frankly speaking, this was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.


    It was a record!


    Qin Xiaoyuan could not help but express his admiration, ¡°What a good kid!


    Director Chen, to achieve this result, you have already done excellently.


    You shouldn¡¯t be so hard on yourself!


    No need for sighs, you¡¯ve been amazing!¡±


    Li Baoshan also took a deep breath and nodded, ¡°Right, Xiao Chen, I have to tell you, you can¡¯t be so strict, so demanding of yourself!


    Whether it¡¯s life or surgery, you¡¯re truly excelling!


    Buta€| you¡¯re still not satisfied, that means you¡¯re being too harsh on yourself!


    However, it¡¯s no surprise you¡¯re so outstanding!¡±


    Chen Cang: ???


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Walls have ears.


    Soon, the news about the Provincial Hospital No.


    2¡¯s fundraising spread.


    At lunchtime, all the nurses were abuzz with the news.


    The emergency department nurse at the Second Provincial Hospital said, ¡°I heard our department raised several million in funds!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the surgical nurse immediately told her roommate at the First Eastern Hospital, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you a secret!


    The emergency department at the Second Provincial Hospital has raised tens of millions in charitable funds!¡±


    The moment the nurse from First Eastern Hospital got wind of this, she passed it on to her college friend working in the capital, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you some big news!


    A hospital over here raised several tens of millions in charitable funds!¡±


    Rumors spread like wildfire!


    ¡­


    In the afternoon, everyone in the emergency department was basking in jubilant bliss.


    To be honest, no one had ever imagined that the emergency department would have such a triumphant day!


    The entire hospital was aware that the emergency department had raised several million in charitable funds!


    Nurses from the emergency department began to walk with a swagger when going to the pharmacy to get medicine or to the cafeteria to buy food!


    The head housekeeper, Tian Xianglan, felt an unprecedented sense of ancestral pride and exultation!


    It was so exhilarating!


    Who would dare to look down on our emergency department now?


    We¡¯ve got a group of sugar daddies!


    The news quickly spread throughout the entire Second Provincial Hospital and even reached other hospitals in the health system of An Yang City.


    After the directors and deans repeatedly confirmed the news with Li Baoshan and Qin Xiaoyuan,


    they became green with envy!


    Jealousy!


    Envy!


    Wang Xiangjun, watching the people around him, promptly ordered a meeting, organizing the department staff: ¡°We¡¯re going to set up this charity fund as well!¡±


    However, the head nurse quickly reminded him in a quiet voice, ¡°Director Wang¡­


    have you forgotten?


    When it was set up last year, we raised less than five hundred thousand, and after it was used up, we couldn¡¯t raise any more.


    In a fit of anger, you just disbanded it¡­¡±


    Wang Xiangjun was immediately at a loss for words, ¡°I¡­


    was just kidding!¡±


    A similar situation occurred in the emergency department at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital.


    Zhang Peiyi was stamping his feet in frustration!


    All the heads of the emergency departments were infuriated.


    What virtues and abilities does this Li Dark Coal have?


    Watching Li Baoshan smugly sharing the detailed accounts of the charity fund to the ¡°Dongyang Emergency Department¡± group chat after they were prepared, he sighed and said,


    ¡°So much money, such huge pressure on me!


    I must set up a special team.


    There¡¯s just no way to manage all this money!¡±


    Hearing this, the group of directors grew even more irritated to the point of gnashing their teeth!


    So cheap!


    Unbelievably cheap!


    Are we supposed to keep this guy around for the New Year?


    Stay calm!


    After forcing themselves to calm down, the directors began to inquire around.


    And when they did!


    There was a collective silence!


    As it turned out, Li Baoshan had only managed to raise a hundred thousand or so, and the rest of the millions had all been raised by the newly appointed director, Chen Cang!


    Suddenly!


    Everyone was really feeling sour.


    There was nothing they could do, considering the man had a competent deputy director!


    ¡­


    Of course, there¡¯s a very strange phenomenon in the world!


    The path of jealousy is never a lonely one!


    Lemons always grow in bunches!


    Just like at this moment.


    One by one, the hospital directors came to their senses and resolved to give special treatment to exceptional talents!


    After all, just look at Qin Xiaoyuan!


    What virtues and abilities does he have?


    Now, the directors could already anticipate tomorrow¡¯s newspapers!


    Under the leadership of Qin Xiaoyuan¡­


    The emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital thrived¡­


    raising five million in charitable donations¡­


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    With such accomplishments, why should Qin Xiaoyuan have them?


    I!


    Zhao Xiuping won¡¯t accept this!


    Qian Liang sighed and, looking at Zhao Xiuping, thought to himself it¡¯s your own fault for not accepting¡­


    Qian Liang, gazing up at the moon, suddenly understood Zhou Yu more and more!


    Why couldn¡¯t he have a good daughter?


    Sigh¡­

    ps: Hehe, thanks to the student ¡°Duan Wangforget¡± for the 10,000 tip, thank you!


    Thank you for your votes of support.

 Chapter 691 - Chapter 691 Chapter 691 Bring Back an MVP

    ?Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Bring Back an MVP Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Bring Back an MVP The next day, Chen Cang packed his belongings and directly followed Qin Xiang to Seoul.


    For this trip, Chen Cang prepared many special ¡°extra meals¡± for his plane journey, planning to take full advantage of the three free Skill Books to enrich his after-school life.


    Opening the item bar, Chen Cang currently had one golden level four Skill Book, two purple Skill Books, and one blank copy Skill Book.


    The blank one was definitely a good item, and Chen Cang felt he should keep it!


    And that shiny golden level four Skill Book was even more enticing in Chen Cang¡¯s eyes!


    Without a second thought, Chen Cang opened it right away!


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, you have obtained Perfect level Intimate Bone Grinding Surgery!]


    Chen Cang looked at the system prompt and fell silent for a moment.


    Bone grinding surgery?


    It sounded like something from a martial arts secret manual, akin to skills such as the Bone-Shattering Hand.


    Chen Cang hurriedly picked up the surgery Skill Book to read.


    The gleaming Skill Book looked extremely dazzling, and it was undeniable that a perfect level surgery was different, with a golden radiance that was truly stunning.


    [Ding!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í¨À0.§ã¦Ï


    Bone Grinding Surgery: a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery performed on the facial bones and other therapies, which, without affecting or damaging nerves, improves the appearance, structure, and aesthetic appeal of facial bone structure!]


    After reading the skill description, Chen Cang¡¯s face lit up with delight!


    This was a great skill!


    And for the current Chen Cang, it was an invaluable skill.


    So far, Chen Cang had made considerable progress in minor facial skin alterations, especially with the help of the Beauty¡¯s Eye, which allowed him to fine-tune facial structures to achieve even better results.


    But!


    He had always been unable to alter the bone structure, a skill Chen Cang had been eager to learn.


    However, Zhang Zhixin¡¯s own abilities were quite average, as were Yang Tao¡¯s.


    After all, the field of cosmetic bone grinding surgery was still developing slowly, influenced by conventional thinking, it was only in recent years that people began to accept it gradually.


    Moreover, in An Yan¡¯s region, plastic surgery hospitals rarely performed such bone grinding surgeriesa€¡±most people went to bigger places like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, or even went abroad for the surgery.


    In the end, it was a matter of perception!


    Plastic surgery had always been a process of gradual acceptance.


    Ten years ago, many were averse to eyelid surgeries, but today, double eyelid surgeries and eyebrow tattoos have become a trend and rhythm.


    Initially, bone grinding was accepted by only a small group of people!


    Although more and more people have been trying it in recent years, the development is still moderate, and domestically the technologies and equipment used are mostly from South Korea and Japan.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï


    However, this technique is quite popular in South Korea, even developing at an incredibly fast pace!


    It could be said that [Bone Grinding Surgery] was a very good skill for Chen Cang, having a crucial impact on helping him further improve his medical aesthetics capabilities.


    Looking at the golden Skill Book, Chen Cang felt delighted!


    A bountiful harvest!


    Auspicious start!


    With that thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t wait to open the remaining two purple Skill Books.


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, you have obtained Master level Skin First Aid Surgery Skills: Burn Debarking Surgery!]


    [Ding!


    Congratulations, you have obtained Master level Hepatobiliary Surgery: Pancreatectomy!]


    Seeing the two skills that followed, Chen Cang¡¯s heart filled with excitement.


    These two skills were, indeed, very practical for Chen Cang!


    Whether it was surgery for burns or surgery of the pancreas, both were extremely critical surgeries that were invaluable and essential for emergency care!


    Chen Cang, without hesitation, closed his eyes and chose to learn.


    Qin Xiang saw Chen Cang¡¯s excited expression and thought it was due to anticipation and excitement.


    With that thought, he couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Young people are so easily nervous!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, the Second Provincial Hospital was bustling with activity.


    Today, the hospital¡¯s yard was filled with numerous luxury cars!


    Xiao Tianhua¡¯s Maybach, Zheng Guotan¡¯s signature Rolls-Royce Phantom, and some Mercedes and BMWsa€|


    raised the prestige of the entire Provincial Hospital No.


    2 by several notches!


    Zheng Guotan and his wife Zhang Aixiang handed a cheque of one million to Li Baoshan, ¡°Director Li, it¡¯s a modest gesture, we hope it can help the emergency department!¡±


    Li Baoshan took it with both hands, excited, ¡°I¡¯m so grateful to President Zheng!¡±


    ¡°With this money, who knows how many patients can be saved.


    On behalf of all the patients, I thank you!¡±


    Indeed, the Zheng Group had donated a total of two million from beginning to end.


    Xiao Tianhua also handed over a cheque for one million with both hands.


    Looking at these cheques, Li Baoshan¡¯s heart was overflowing with excitement, struggling to calm down!


    For many years!


    Even when he was in the capital, he hadn¡¯t felt this way.


    So thrilling!


    Not exhilarated by the amount of money, but by the thought of critically ill patients having a chance to be rescued, that feeling was hard to settle!


    Bit by bit, many more arrived!


    Fu Yufang and her husband Guo Yongliang were also there.


    This time, Guo Yongliang was truly sincere, after all, Chen Cang¡¯s surgery on his wife was exceptionally well done, not to mention facial plastic surgery, but also after her sister-in-law finished the Long Bear surgery, Fu Yufang also hurriedly went for it.


    The one million yuan fee seemed so worth it to Guo Yongliang!


    Today, he specifically came to donate, and what¡¯s more important, lately, Fu Yufang¡¯s close friends, those well-to-do gentry, all wanted to get to know this Doctor Chen but had not been able to find Chen Cang.


    It turns out that Doctor Chen was still an emergency physician at Provincial Hospital No.


    2!


    So there, Fu Yufang told all the wealthy ladies, and today quite a few of them came, each with a significant financial capacity!


    And Hu Chuanjin, to befriend Chen Cang and Zheng Guotan, also made a special trip over today.


    Initially, he had prepared half a million in cash, but seeing everyone else so low-key and luxurious on the scene, he quickly instructed his secretary to prepare a cheque for a million at the bank.


    Today, the leaders of Provincial Hospital No.


    2, as well as other directors, were also present, watching the emergency department as if it were bustling with visitors, each of them green with envy!


    Buta€|


    This money is for the emergency department¡¯s Critical Condition Charity Fund, Charity Fund, not under hospital management.


    If you really want to get involved, there¡¯s nothing that can be done, but if you anger this group of tycoons, you won¡¯t get a penny.


    Li Baoshan was so excited that he was about to cry!


    And so was An Yanjun!


    Don¡¯t think that they are just directors and whatnot, in fact, they had seen much of life¡¯s ups and downs, witnessed many a joy and sorrow, and after one helpless incident after another, they were powerless.


    How many emergency patients had to give up on surgery because of financial issues?


    Li Baoshan looked at the crowd, his emotions running high, so moved that his nose tingled, tears almost fell, and he quickly turned his back, but was still photographed by the reporters.


    That day, Provincial Hospital No.


    2 held a special charity fund meeting, inviting those wealthy donors to attend.


    This time, everyone grew wiser.


    They straightforwardly proposed Chen Cang be put in charge of the fund, given veto power and the ability to approve decisions!


    Then they organized a specialized team to take charge of the funds, ensuring transparency with detailed catalogs, and publicly reported every single allocation online!


    The hospital had nothing to say about it.


    After all, it was Chen Cang who had brought in all this money.


    However, much to the disappointment of those wealthy ladies, Doctor Chen was nowhere to be found!


    Qin Xiaoyuan, in an effort to placate this group of gentry, couldn¡¯t help but spill the beans, incidentally selling his son-in-law at a high price, ¡°Director Chen, ah, he¡¯s off to Seoul to attend this year¡¯s World Association of Plastic Surgeons conference, there¡¯s also that world competition for plastic surgeons, he¡¯s gone to win an award!¡±


    When everyone heard this, they were immediately excited.


    Doctor Chen went to earn his stripes, surely he would return with even better skills.


    And that significant award!


    Absolutely incredible!


    The wealthy ladies, delighted, donated a bit more, looking forward to Chen Cang¡¯s return!

 Chapter 694 - Chapter 694 Chapter 694 Its Him!

    ?Chapter 694: Chapter 694: It¡¯s Him!


    (Additional Chapter 9 for Qingyan Xiaoguan Alliance) Chapter 694: Chapter 694: It¡¯s Him!


    (Additional Chapter 9 for Qingyan Xiaoguan Alliance) Chen Cang never expected that his skill points could be used like this?


    He had attended many conferences recently, but why were there no conditions to use them?


    [Ding!


    Only with a sufficient understanding of this technique and with the help of skill points can it be quickly learned!]


    Chen Cang understood that he frequently performed plastic surgery and was well-versed in many aspects of it.


    For instance, the upper eyelid adhesion surgery he had just encountered; Chen Cang himself boasted master-level skills in eyelid plastic surgery, so it was by chance that during the explanation and learning process, the system helped out, allowing him to master it with skill points.


    Realizing this, Chen Cang felt excited!


    However¡­


    looking at the twenty or so skill points in his hand, he began to worry!


    How exactly should he allocate them?


    What should he embrace and what should he forsake?


    This opportunity was rare!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    But he couldn¡¯t put all his skill points into this!


    After all, skill points were limited!


    Chen Cang had to save some for critical moments to save patients.


    With that thought, Chen Cang decided to play it by ear!


    If there were things he liked and which were truly effective and useful, he might try to learn them!


    ¡­


    Today¡¯s conference was of a high level and broadened his horizons!


    It truly opened up a new world of plastic surgery for Chen Cang.


    Plastic surgery was not merely a medical aesthetic procedure; it also served as a very good therapeutic method.


    Especially for burn patients, autologous fat transplantation could have very effective results.


    Thinking this, Chen Cang could not help feeling excited!


    Suddenly, he thought that he should save up more skill points and then attend more academic conferences to learn techniques from other experts.


    Of course, before that, he needed more clinical experience and more surgeries to enhance his level; otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to trigger the learning of skill points.


    After all, medicine is about learning from each other; one person¡¯s energy is limited.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After a day, Chen Cang had spent fifteen skill points.


    He felt so pained, he wanted to chop off his own hands!


    He discovered that he was growing fonder of attending conferences.


    It¡¯s absolutely not because of the ladies in cheongsams.


    But because of knowledge!


    Yes!


    The day¡¯s conference ended quickly, leaving Chen Cang wanting more.


    Qin Xiang, on the other hand, shook his head somewhat helplessly.


    ¡°Ah, Chen, you¡¯ve been caught up with your phone, not really listening.


    The talk was so enlightening!


    It truly broadened our horizons.¡±


    At dinner, Old Qin couldn¡¯t stop sighing.


    The other domestic peers also nodded in agreement, realizing that this trip was indeed worthwhile; there was much to improve and strive for.


    Hearing Old Qin educating Chen Cang, the experts all said, ¡°Enough, Old Qin, aren¡¯t all young people like that?¡±


    ¡°But Chen, Director Qin makes a good point.


    Didn¡¯t you notice?


    Today the stage was full of young people.


    In the cosmetic medicine industry, we¡¯re getting old.


    We come to learn so that we can go back and teach you all.


    Otherwise, what¡¯s the point of us coming here?¡±


    ¡°The research abroad is just superior; we have to admit it without bias!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded with a smile, ¡°What the teachers say is true.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After dinner, Qin Xiang looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Kid, what did you gain today?¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah, quite a lot!


    It expanded my horizons.¡±


    Qin Xiang rolled his eyes, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you for a second!¡±


    Chen Cang said helplessly, ¡°Really, I learned a lot!¡±


    Qin Xiang let out a cold laugh, ¡°You¡¯re too naive!


    Learned a lot?


    Let me tell you, what they presented was an incomplete version; do you think they would really share their core techniques with you?


    Key parts were omitted.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible to truly learn it!¡±


    ¡°But, the directions they pointed out are indeed good ones.


    When I get back, I need to seriously delve into them.¡±


    ¡°Chen, you have a good talent.


    We¡¯re getting old, and you guys can learn these techniques much faster.


    Study them well.¡±


    Hearing Qin Xiang¡¯s words, Chen Cang thought that Director Qin already knew about these things, so there was no need to remind him.


    But seeing his well-meaning advice, Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Director Qin, I really did learn a lot, I¡¯ll go back and explain it to you.¡±


    Qin Xiang rolled his eyes again, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you for a second!


    Get some rest; there¡¯s a competition tomorrow.


    If you¡¯re really capable, win a prize and show those old folks!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day¡¯s competition was bustling with people.


    Chen Cang and Qin Xiang, after drawing lots at the venue, were divided into ten groups and arrived at their respective competition sites.


    The contest was simple; each group had a patient.


    Before the surgery, each participant had to choose a surgical plan based on the patient¡¯s condition.


    This meant that out of five people, only one would participate in the surgery, while the other four would be directly eliminated!


    This was actually a very important test!


    The judges¡¯ panel and the patients themselves were involved, evaluating the contestant¡¯s surgical plan design!


    Chen Cang followed several competitors from different countries into the room one by one; they had 30 minutes to analyze and then come up with a plan.


    Inside the room, over a dozen cameras captured every detail of the contestants, including their designing process.


    It was evident what the scene would be like at the time of surgery!


    Five people had to design plans that both satisfied the experts and pleased the patients.


    In fact, what seemed like a simple plan design hid a comprehensive evaluation.


    The experts considered safety, efficacy, feasibility, surgical success rate, and technical content for their scoring!


    But for the patients, there was just one requirement: aesthetics!


    Unseen, this increased the pressure on the participating surgeons.


    Everyone had thirty minutes to prepare, to communicate with the patient, and finally to draft the plan.


    The patient would also give an intention score for each participant¡¯s final plan.


    So, the real challenge was apparent from the first round.


    Soon, it was Chen Cang¡¯s turn.


    Upon entering and seeing the patient, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but hesitate whether to give up on the competition.


    He finally understood why the other contestants had been sighing!


    It was damn tough to be a doctor.


    Could plastic surgery really help here?


    Chen Cang felt it might be time to go back to the drawing board¡­


    Sharp facial features, high cheekbones, thick lips, eyes that could be compared to Sister Feng¡¯s, lack of elasticity in the facial skin, gaunt cheeks, a protruding jawbone¡­


    This was a major project!


    The examiner glanced at Chen Cang, ¡°Contestant, please sit down.


    Are you ready?¡±


    Chen Cang took a deep breath and wanted to ask if he could change the patient!


    But that was probably not possible!


    With that thought, he nodded, ¡°I¡¯m ready!¡±


    The five examiners were also stunned for a moment.


    That was quick?


    Were you planning to quit the competition?


    Honestly, when they saw the patient, they actually considered for a long time whether to continue being examiners, as the difficulty was indeed putting people in a tight spot.


    It wasn¡¯t just a challenge for the contestants, but also for the examiners themselves!


    ¡°Then¡­


    let¡¯s begin!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, looked up at the woman, and activated his ¡®Eyes of Beauty¡¯, starting to ponder over her face.


    Seeing that the ¡®Eyes of Beauty¡¯ were functioning, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief.


    He had been worried they might crash¡­


    It seemed like there was no issue.


    But¡­


    what should his approach be now?


    At that moment, Chen Cang was staring at the woman, deep in thought.


    With a piece of paper in his hand, he started sketching continuously.


    This really was a massive undertaking.


    Forget it, let¡¯s take it slow!


    With enough effort, even Sister Feng could win a beauty pageant!


    Go for it!


    ¡­


    The eyes needed correction for both the inner and outer canthus, as well as the removal of eye bags, and the extraction of fat¡­


    The cheekbones required grinding, and tools would be needed to chisel off part of the mandibular angle, in order to narrow the contours of the face and improve the facial shape¡­


    As for the lips¡­


    Chen Cang felt no need to touch them, as some thick lips could just be slightly modified to enhance their sexiness.


    But with hollow cheeks, autologous fat transplantation was definitely necessary¡­


    Facing the woman¡¯s visage, Chen Cang swiftly began designing and then using tools to organize his thoughts, investigating feasibility¡­


    The entire process was incredibly busy.


    As the design on his drawing became more and more perfect, the woman¡¯s cheeks turned redder.


    Seeing Chen Cang looking so handsome, she really wanted to give him a high score.


    She swore to herself that if Chen Cang was willing to be her boyfriend, she would give him full marks!


    The rule of the competition was: whoever designs, operates.


    This demanded that the surgical plan had to convince the examiners, proving that you had the capability to perform the surgery.


    You couldn¡¯t just draw a beauty and tell them, ¡°This is my plan!¡±


    That simply wouldn¡¯t work.


    Examiners would require you to detail every aspect, every step of the procedure.


    Simplifying it, you had to persuade them!


    Chen Cang¡¯s design was soon complete.


    He first handed the photo to the woman, saying, ¡°This is my preliminary idea.¡±


    Then he handed the blueprint to the experts and began to explain the surgical details to them!


    But, at that moment!


    Before Chen Cang could speak, the woman suddenly said excitedly, ¡°I choose him!¡±


    The experts were momentarily dumbfounded!


    Was it really necessary?


    However, as they took the design blueprint from him, they were rendered speechless.


    ¡°Is this¡­


    the same person?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the feasibility too low?¡±


    ¡°Contestant, please don¡¯t be so exaggerated.


    I think the feasibility is very low!¡±


    ¡°I agree!¡±


    ¡°+1!¡±


    The woman was almost driven to tears by the experts.


    Why couldn¡¯t she be this beautiful?


    Who were they looking down upon?


    Chen Cang wasn¡¯t angry; he just smiled and began to explain, ¡°Let me explain the specific surgical details to the experts.¡±


    ¡°Firstly, for the eyelid procedure, I¡¯ve chosen the core surgical designs of two directors, Miyake Takuto and Li Junki!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll start by separating the previous high adhesions.


    To prevent readhesion, next, I¡¯ll use Li Junki¡¯s unique orbital septal fat release technique!


    Laying down a new layer of fat within the tissues, and this autologous fat can be taken from the bags under the eyes, achieving a better harmony¡­


    And here, I¡¯ve decided to employ SMAS wrinkle removal technology¡­¡±


    After listening, everyone was taken aback!


    ¡°Young man, your ideas are great¡­


    ?¦Ï??0.?¦Ï


    but you¡¯ve just mentioned the techniques of these experts.


    The surgery will be performed by you; are you up for it?¡±


    ¡°Right, these surgeries are very difficult.


    Are you sure?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled faintly: ¡°Of course!¡±


    At this moment, the female patient excitedly said, ¡°Doctor, I choose him!


    Just him, I want him!¡±


    The experts: ¡­


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ps: These two chapters were a bit long; I just finished them¡­


    It¡¯s a bit late.

 Chapter 695 - Chapter 695 Chapter 695 Stunned!

    ?Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Stunned!


    Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Stunned!


    At this moment, the venue was bubbling with activity.


    The majority who were not competing sat at the arena, several of the judges¡¯ panel leaders and deputy leaders sat at the side, discussing today¡¯s competition.


    The other fifty expert judges, including Cao Xuan, had already been dispatched to proctor on-site.


    Although there was no distinction between the first and second rounds, as the morning¡¯s proposal design was set to eliminate most of the contestants, it was customary to refer to it as the knockout round.


    Gao Enshun, the head of the judging panel, looked at everyone and said, ¡°Coming up, please look at the big screen, these are the ten voluntary patients for our competition¡¯s surgeries!¡±


    ¡°Each one has been meticulously selected for their representational significance, and every one of them can comprehensively test the level and strength of a plastic surgeon!¡±


    It must be said that everyone present was an ¡°expert¡±!


    They viewed things through a very professional and unique lens, not caring if something was aesthetically pleasing, but rather if it was functionally appropriate.


    Suitable or not suitable for surgery!


    Just like now.


    Upon viewing the photos, everyone immediately started to critique them as though each of the ten individuals was a beauty pageant champion, each one exceptionally outstanding!


    Beautiful and delightful to look at, endlessly fascinating.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    ¡°Look at those eyes, how big and round they are!¡±


    ¡°And look at these lips, so wide and flat!¡±


    ¡°Yes, this one, has quite a bit of, transformation space!¡±


    ¡°Good material, excellent for practicing plastic surgery!¡±


    ¡­


    Indeed, seeing the professionals at the audience introducing with great expertise, the experts were very satisfied!


    This is what we in the medical beauty industry should do, we don¡¯t need an outwardly attractive appearance, because our eyes come with built-in slim face, beautiful skin, wrinkle removal, big eyes, filters¡­


    Of course, this isn¡¯t to say we in the medical beauty industry are blind, nor are we cameras, but it does show that we are even more professional.


    Gao Enshun smiled and said, ¡°Everyone quiet down, let¡¯s take it one by one, choose the surgical plan with a professional eye!


    To inspire everyone.¡±


    Having said this, a few of the experts began to discuss from one ¡°beauty seedling¡± to the next.


    It can¡¯t be denied, experts are indeed experts, especially these few who were at the level of team leaders, already having reached an intuitive understanding.


    Quickly, they presented various proposals and even described them on the demonstration boards.


    This method of interaction allowed everyone present to exchange and learn from each other, making the meeting very meaningful.


    Soon, after going through one photo after another, it came to the tenth group¡¯s ¡°beauty seedling,¡± which was Chen Cang¡¯s group.


    Upon seeing this photo, even the panel of experts fell silent.


    No one wanted to break the serenity of the moment.


    Because¡­


    The difficulty level had skyrocketed dramatically, clearly a notch above the other groups¡¯ seedlings!


    Perhaps¡­


    Perhaps what this seedling needed was not surgery¡­


    but to become an embryo again?


    The difficulty of the plastic surgery had skyrocketed!


    Even the audience attending the meeting found it hard to watch; it seemed too unfair to the candidates.


    ¡°This woman, she¡¯s a bit beyond the syllabus!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±


    ¡°What this tests is probably¡­


    a head transplantation, isn¡¯t it?


    Plastic surgery can¡¯t involve changing everything, right?¡±


    ¡­


    Listening to everyone¡¯s discussion, Gao Enshun smiled and said, ¡°Actually, this is our mission as plastic surgeons, everyone has the right to pursue beauty, they can¡¯t change their birth, but we can help change their appearance!¡±


    At this point, Gao Enshun pointed to the big screen and said, ¡°We should be patient, everybody take a careful look, if we consider her in several steps, first do the eyes!¡±


    ¡°Mr.


    Miyake Takuto may have even better creative ideas!¡±


    Miyake nodded, indeed, his specialty was eye area plastic surgery.


    That should be no problem for him!


    So, Miyake Takuto nodded.


    He stood up, brought up the photo on the big screen, took a marker, and began to work on the eyes.


    ¡°Everyone, look here, the lower eyelid, we can use fat extraction to eliminate the bags, but the most important thing still lies in the inner and outer corners of the eyes, where we need to put in significant effort, like this, adjusting the fat thickness¡­


    altering the angle structure¡­¡±


    It must be said that Miyake Takuto¡¯s skills were indeed high!


    Before long, the audience below started to be astonished.


    Such a procedure really changed a lot!


    Then Li Junki stood up, smiling, and said, ¡°Actually, her cheeks need autologous fat grafting for filling.


    With such a model¡­


    Look, changing the facial structure, effectively filling with autologous fat transfer, and then¡­¡±


    One after the other, several experts began to demonstrate their skills, each with their area of expertise, contributing ideas and strategies.


    They gave the audience below a performance of what could be called ¡°all-star¡± operations!


    Gao Enshun was the last to stand up and said, ¡°Actually, the most important aspect for this patient is facial contouring.


    Without changing the facial bone structure, it will be difficult to see a major improvement from the basis, so we need to use bone grinding surgery to change several areas!¡±


    ¡°This might be the most difficult part of the surgery!¡±


    ¡°Look, first is the change of the cheekbones¡­


    then the change in the angles between the upper and lower jawbones, the upper and lower chin, these are all very important!¡±


    At this moment, Samsung¡¯s modern side was revealed.


    Gao Enshun said with a smile, ¡°Here we thank the Samsung Group and our Korean government and citizens¡¯ plastic surgery hospital for creating this digital simulation plastic surgery device, mainly by inputting the patient¡¯s structure, and then through our operation, simulating an¡­


    eventual surgical outcome!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Pete Toby frowned, not expecting they had also developed this technology.


    But¡­


    It was already behind!


    After his encounter with Chen Cang, Pete Toby had felt the inconvenience of computers and had already started to research and improve on them.


    And Lennacons supported his project even more, continuing to invest money in CIS Plastic Surgery Clinic for research and development.


    So, when the experts entered the plastic surgery signals into it.


    The audience below began to eagerly anticipate!


    After a comparison of the two faces, perhaps there would be a big surprise, right?


    The power of plastic surgery is just that miraculous.


    Thinking of this, the audience felt, with such an all-star lineup, what problem couldn¡¯t be solved?


    Soon!


    After all the data had been entered.


    A countdown appeared on the big screen: 10, 9, 8¡­


    The leaders of the panel of experts on the stage were also somewhat expectant, after all, this was considered a highly difficult procedure.


    Everyone¡¯s breath quickened as they craned their necks in anticipation!


    Soon!


    The countdown ended!


    Suddenly, a face appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes!


    Everyone was stunned!


    Then, the air grew heavy, even the cheongsam-wearing welcome hostesses felt the temperature rise several degrees!


    ?¦Ï¦Í??.?¦Ï


    Everyone drew in a sharp breath!


    ¡°It¡¯s too damn ugly!¡±


    ¡°This¡­


    is even worse than before, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡­


    Immediately, the audience below burst into a buzz of debate.


    No one had expected such a result.


    It seemed that this all-star lineup needed to mesh together better¡­


    The experts on the stage were also dumbfounded.


    Everything looked good on its own, but why did it turn out like this when combined?


    At this moment, Pete Toby had an epiphany.


    Because of a lack of a God¡¯s-eye view.


    That¡¯s right!


    Everyone was too focused on changing a certain area and overlooked the overall effect, resulting in a different sense of match.


    This is what Chen Cang had taught him.


    Meanwhile, the audience below was left sighing and lamenting.

 Chapter 696 - Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Stop Talking!

    Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Stop Talking!


    Gao Enshun and his colleagues frowned and stood up, staring at the generated image and beginning to ponder!


    The audience below was abuzz with discussion.


    ¡°Look, actually¡­ If you look closely, the face shape is pretty, the eyes aren¡¯t bad, and the mouth looks good¡­ everything looks good, but¡­ when put together, it somehow seems distorted.¡±


    ¡°Right! It seems that the most important thing in plastic surgery is still to have an overall effect; otherwise, it¡¯s like a car crash!¡±


    This was a classic case of going from one extreme to another!


    Gao Enshun compared the two photos together and immediately fell into deep thought.


    It seemed¡­


    It wasn¡¯t as good as before?


    Thinking this, Gao Enshun sighed, ¡°We were too hasty, perhaps we might find a better solution!


    Let¡¯s see how this group of contestants have designed their plans.¡±


    At this moment, the plastic surgery hospital received the news and began to connect to the live broadcast.


    At this time, Chen Cang was trying to convince a group of experts, and his final design appeared on the big screen with the help of multiple cameras.


    Peter recognized it at a glance, this was Chen Cang!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.?0


    Suddenly, Peter¡¯s interest was piqued!


    Perhaps, Chen Cang had a better method.


    Indeed, after seeing Chen Cang¡¯s own sketch of the design, everyone was dumbstruck!


    ¡°Damn! Is this even human?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s so fake, this is¡­ deceiving oneself, how could one possibly perform such surgery!¡±


    ¡°Right, impossible! Absolutely impossible!¡±


    The audience below was in a flurry of discussion, and at this moment, the examiners on-site also began to express their disbelief.


    However, at this time, Chen Cang began to explain, ¡°I can completely reproduce every step!¡±


    At that moment, Peter¡¯s expression changed, and he quickly said, ¡°Turn on the simulator and enter the data as he¡¯s described.¡±


    Several experts were stunned by the excellent idea, hurriedly standing up to switch on the simulator.


    At this point, Chen Cang¡¯s voice came through, ¡°Firstly, we should adjust the eyes to a higher position¡­ here we need to inject autologous fat, which can effectively prevent adhesion¡­¡±


    Li Junki was startled, ¡°That¡¯s¡­ that¡¯s my technique!¡±


    Miyake Takuto shook his head, a furrow between his brows, ¡°No! It¡¯s a technique from both of us!¡±


    Gao Enshun exclaimed, ¡°He has combined Professor Miyake¡¯s technique with Professor Li Junki¡¯s eye surgery, what a great idea!¡±


    Instantly, Miyake Takuto and Li Junki exchanged glances and nodded in agreement!


    If one could combine eye surgery with autologous fat to prevent adhesion and effectively alleviate eye bags¡­ that would be nothing short of a genius idea!


    At this thought, Miyake Takuto¡¯s eyes sparked with insight.


    At that moment, Miyake quickly started entering the data.


    Gao Enshun watched Chen Cang¡¯s operation, impressed, ¡°What a remarkable young man, full of ideas, but¡­ combining the techniques of two professors, can he really do it?¡±


    Immediately, the people below sighed, ¡°Yeah, such operations are too difficult, although very useful, they can effectively prevent facial adhesion, but¡­ it¡¯s really too hard!¡±


    ¡°What a pity! Being able to design doesn¡¯t necessarily mean being able to do it!¡±


    Peter had unwavering faith in Chen Cang!


    He believed that if Chen Cang could come up with it, he would certainly be able to do it well!


    Peter said, ¡°Let¡¯s start by entering the data as he instructed!¡±


    Gao Enshun also nodded in agreement.


    Step by step, the data began to be entered slowly.


    Soon, it was time for Chen Cang to start bone grinding.


    Gao Enshun suddenly spoke up, ¡°He seems to have not changed the¡­ lips?¡±


    People frowned. Right!


    The lips were truly a blemish, and not changing them would be unimaginable.


    Just then, Chen Cang began the bone grinding!


    He took out a piece of paper again and started to describe each step of the bone grinding process.


    On-site, Gao Enshun fell silent upon hearing this!


    Because he realized that Chen Cang¡¯s demands for bone grinding were too high, practically impossible to meet; the angles were too tricky, the operation too meticulous, exceeding even the precision required for skull surgery!


    How could this be possible?


    Gao Enshun, who had long been immersed in this field, said directly, ¡°This young fellow¡­ has big ideas, and he really dares to dream, but what he envisages is very hard to achieve!¡±


    ¡°I have been grinding bones for so many years, and this is the first time I¡¯ve heard of someone wanting to do it this way, it¡¯s so difficult!¡±


    ¡°But, it can¡¯t be denied that the youngster¡¯s creativity and conception are good, let us continue to enter the data.¡±


    When all the data had been entered.


    The machine entered countdown mode.


    At this time, in truth, no one held much hope.


    After all, this is what the group of experts was like.


    Don¡¯t have too high expectations for others!


    At this moment, the Chinese participants in the audience also saw Chen Cang and began to feel sorry for him.


    ¡°It¡¯s such a pity for Xiao Chen [Little Chen]!¡±


    ¡°Yeah! When you come across such an extraordinary woman!¡±


    Just at that moment, the countdown was about to end!


    Everyone was looking forward to what she would look like!


    The big screen changed!


    People glanced at it casually without much care!


    And then¡­ they could never forget her face.


    The lips that were once thought to be a flaw.


    At this moment, they also became sexy and charming!


    ¡­


    Suddenly, the lady in the cheongsam felt the temperature in the room rise again.


    Everyone on site was staring dumbfounded at everything, speechless!


    Gao Enshun saw the expressions of the people below and they were astonishingly similar to what they had been just before!


    History is always surprisingly recurring!


    He was about to turn around and exchange a few polite words, but the moment he turned, he found that he might have encountered the goddess of his dreams¡­


    It seemed¡­


    This was his first love!


    It was too beautiful!


    Why oh why?


    The experts were all dumbfounded!


    Mingming they all did the same procedure, but hers didn¡¯t change much and yet looked even better than theirs, didn¡¯t it?


    Even Pete was looking at the screen with great interest, lost in thought.


    This guy has really gotten stronger again!


    Pete thought back to yesterday¡¯s meeting¡­


    Could it be??


    Chen Cang had learned the advantages of those techniques and then became what he was now!


    At this thought, Pete was completely astonished.


    He was just too talented!


    No one expected such a result, and suddenly the entire venue was boiling with excitement.


    This was truly terrifying.


    This transformation was a complete overhaul.


    But, just at that time.


    Gao Enshun said, ¡°It seems this plan is really excellent!¡±


    ¡°But¡­ what I¡¯m more worried about is, is there anyone who can reverse this plan? At least I can¡¯t¡­ To be honest, I might not even be able to do bone shaving!¡±


    Just then, the examiner asked Chen Cang the same question!


    ¡°Are you sure you can do it?¡±


    Chen Cang smiled and said a few simple words, and immediately the faces of the experts on stage changed, and they quickly prepared to switch screens!


    Suddenly, everyone on site was stunned!


    Why did Chen Cang¡¯s words sound a bit incomprehensible?


    Indeed!


    Chen Cang wasn¡¯t speaking for the audience; he was addressing those team leaders.


    Chen Cang spoke exactly about the steps they had deliberately omitted.


    He wanted to tell those team leaders that he could!


    But¡­


    He knew how far to go and only mentioned a little here and there without revealing everything.


    However, this was enough to scare the experts.


    This was the core secret of their work; how could they allow Chen Cang to make it public!


    It would have been enough if he alone understood.


    That¡¯s why they were preparing to turn off the big screen.


    Fortunately, Chen Cang mentioned only a little and didn¡¯t fully reveal it.


    The team leaders breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called Chen Cang¡¯s side:


    ¡°Tell him, he¡¯s passed!¡±


    The crowd below was completely baffled!


    They had no idea what had just happened.


    But Pete looked at the big screen with great interest and smiled.


    This kid was really impressive!


    ¡­


    ¡­

 Chapter 697 - Chapter 697: Chapter 697: What is a Genius?!

    Chapter 697: Chapter 697: What is a Genius?!


    Qin Xiang was eliminated, seemingly without any surprise.


    While dining with his colleagues, he suddenly realized that Chen Cang hadn¡¯t returned.


    ¡°Director Wang? Hasn¡¯t Little Chen come back yet?¡± Qin Xiang asked curiously.


    Upon hearing this, several directors stopped eating, put down their chopsticks and stared at Qin Xiang, making his scalp tingle with fear!


    ¡°Won¡¯t you guys speak?¡± Qin Xiang was taken aback.


    Several directors looked at Qin Xiang:


    ¡°Old Qin, be honest with us, how could you not tell us that Director Chen¡­ that Director Chen is so amazing?¡±


    ¡°Right! Old Qin, that was not very kind of you!¡±


    ¡°Playing the pig to eat the tiger, huh?¡±


    Seeing the group talking, Qin Xiang wasn¡¯t dumb; he immediately understood!


    ¡°Are you saying¡­ Chen Cang advanced?¡±


    Qin Xiang suddenly became overjoyed, and somewhat excited.


    After the directors carefully checked Chen Cang¡¯s information, they learned he was actually the champion of the National Cardiothoracic Surgery Skills Competition!


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??0.§ã?


    And he was even the deputy director of the Second Hospital of Dongyang Province!


    At just twenty-seven years old, he had acquired so many honors!


    This was definitely a matter of ability!


    No, wrong! It was not just ability, but talent!


    Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help but give an embarrassed smile: ¡°Actually¡­ I didn¡¯t know Little Chen was that strong, I just thought I¡¯d bring him out to see the world a bit.¡±


    Director Wang rolled his eyes: ¡°And you ended up showing us all here a thing or two about the world, didn¡¯t you?¡±


    While speaking, Director Wang recounted Chen Cang¡¯s morning episode in detail!


    After finishing, Qin Xiang was stunned!


    ¡°Wait¡­ Director Wang¡­ do you mean¡­ Chen Cang really learned those team leaders¡¯ techniques?¡±


    Director Wang nodded firmly: ¡°Exactly! From the looks in those team leaders¡¯ eyes, it seemed they were hiding something. We sat down to discuss it, and so¡­ there¡¯s only one truth!¡±


    Director Wang¡¯s glasses flashed with a Conan-like gleam: ¡°That is, those directors were concealing part of their technique, and Director Chen¡­ he discovered it, and even figured it out, and has already mastered their technique!¡±


    At this revelation, Qin Xiang was stunned!


    The other directors also sighed: ¡°Director Qin, you really kept Little Chen under wraps!¡±


    Qin Xiang said leisurely: ¡°I¡­ I really had no idea! After all¡­ I was the one who helped him get his plastic surgery license, and he¡¯s only been in the industry for three or four months¡­¡±


    Everyone was suddenly taken aback!


    For a long time!


    They looked at the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, hesitated for a long time!


    They were pondering one question: If they threw the bowls and chopsticks at Qin Xiang¡¯s head, would they need to compensate him?


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The afternoon surgery began with tension and orderly preparation!


    Inside each operating room, multiple high-definition cameras provided multi-angle, no-blind-spot coverage of the surgery for observation!


    At this moment, a few team leaders on the stage felt somewhat uneasy.


    At the end of the morning, Chen Cang¡¯s few remarks had seriously frightened them.


    This young man, could he really have mastered their techniques?


    The four team leaders and deputy team leaders, only Pete sat there carefreely, seemingly unworried at all.


    The others waited anxiously for the surgery to begin!


    They were hopeful¡­ but also fearful.


    They were looking forward to Chen Cang¡¯s innovative surgery, which might combine the essence of multiple experts¡¯ techniques. Maybe by watching his surgery, they could learn techniques from the others.


    But¡­ they were really worried too! Anxious that Chen Cang might inadvertently reveal their core techniques.


    So, the afternoon surgery officially commenced!


    The large screen showed scenes from inside an operating room.


    But Gao Enshun hesitated not at all and switched directly to the tenth one, which was Chen Cang¡¯s group.


    Suddenly, the audience below started to buzz with excitement and boiled over!


    This was the surgery everyone was most eager to see!


    Chen Cang began the procedure in his hands, unruffled and calm.


    However, his composure did not mean that others were without pressure, like the anesthesiologist and the scrub nurse at the moment, who were truly struggling.


    Who would have thought that assisting in a surgery could confront one with such a challenging problem!


    It seemed that the doctor had no chance of winning now.


    Before the anesthesia, the patient even threw Chen Cang a flirtatious look as a token of encouragement!


    Chen Cang felt a moment of panic, glanced at the anesthesiologist, and considered whether to increase the dosage of anesthesia!


    ¡°Prepare for anesthesia!¡±


    The first step was to perform the medial and lateral canthoplasty, and Chen Cang chose the Von Ammon lateral canthoplasty technique, which Miyake Takuto excelled at!


    This was a core surgical skill of Miyake, who cleverly resolved the defect of high-level adhesion!


    Chen Cang performed the surgery on the side while the people at the scene went crazy!


    ¡°Von Ammon lateral canthoplasty technique! This is¡­ the one Mr. Miyake Takuto is best at, the modified technique!¡±


    ¡°Live demonstration, we¡¯re going to make a fortune!¡±


    Miyake was panicked inside, feeling very insecure about his core techniques being displayed.


    But¡­ surely they can¡¯t switch now, can they?


    How damaging to one¡¯s reputation!


    And the most important thing is, in a moment, there will be their core techniques at play, and Miyake had been shocked yesterday when he saw Chen Cang using both his own and Li Junki¡¯s techniques for the eye corner surgery!


    He knew he needed to learn this, and he must pay close attention to how Chen Cang would use Li Junki¡¯s autologous fat grafting technique later!


    There was complete silence below the stage, and notebooks were brought out to record everything furiously!


    One by one, as they saw the specific steps of the surgery, everything suddenly made sense to them.


    Indeed!


    So this technique was hidden?


    The crowd was ecstatic!


    ¡°Spotlight King¡± Wang Chen was even more vigorously taking notes!


    Even the various experts opened their eyes wide, watching carefully.


    Soon, Chen Cang began to extract autologous fat from the eye bags!


    This step might seem simple, but the difficulty was actually quite high.


    The autologous fat facial contouring technique was purified through a specific process!


    And to maintain the viability of the fat, Li Junki used it immediately after extraction, which Chen Cang had mastered brilliantly!


    Then, he used a three-dimensional injection method to transfer the fat to various facial layers, all done with a very fine cannula needle.


    At this point, everyone had their eyes wide open, watching the next step!


    Miyake, Li Junki, and several team leaders were not relaxing either!


    This was Chen Cang¡¯s own invented technique!


    It combined the strengths of the two experts to complement each other!


    Slowly, he used a very fine cannula needle to evenly lay down a layer of fat through the orbital septal fat release technique within the tissue of the eye socket!


    The process was precise and nimble; Chen Cang¡¯s needle moved as if filled with spirit, releasing the fat delicately and ingeniously¡­


    Gradually¡­ after the injection, an excellent foundation for tissue repair was immediately established!


    Next, Chen Cang hurriedly proceeded with the medial and lateral canthoplasty repair!


    Everyone suddenly realized that at this point, with a fat layer barrier, it was possible to achieve a better, more challenging, and more spectacular high-level repair and prevent adhesions!


    This was far more delicate than what Mr. Miyake Takuto initially had done!


    At that moment, Miyake Takuto¡¯s face lit up with eagerness, his expression excited, and even the palms of his hands were sweating!


    Chen Cang¡¯s surgical method had already become a new concept; it was incredibly strong!


    This was a whole new surgical procedure!


    And soon, Chen Cang completed the correction of the eyes, the repair of the medial and lateral canthus, and the precise and discreet beautification of the cosmetic line.


    The entire eye was like a field that had been plowed anew, infused with a fresh vitality to the orbital tissue!


    Full and vibrant!


    Beautiful without losing its allure!


    The scene fell into a mix of excitement and silence.


    In their presence, Chen Cang completed a technological innovation, creating a new and higher level of medial and lateral canthal corrective surgery!

 Chapter 701 - Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Activation of the Department System

    Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Activation of the Department System


    Chen Cang¡¯s return was very popular!


    The happiest of all were those wealthy matrons.


    That very afternoon, upon learning of Chen Cang¡¯s return to the hospital, they rushed over, banners in hand.


    After all, everyone knew that Doctor Chen was now one of the world¡¯s top plastic surgeons, the man who had won the title of Best Plastic Surgeon of the Year!


    If they didn¡¯t go now, they might not be able to secure an appointment!


    Even before participating in the competition, finding him was already like searching for a needle in a haystack; he was a millionaire surgeon!


    As for how much money it would cost now, that was one thing, but what if they couldn¡¯t even get in line?


    And besides!


    Their husbands had all said it was fine to get a bit closer to Doctor Chen.


    Although it felt strange to see their husbands pushing them toward Chen Cang¡­


    Considering the new Donkey brand bag they received, it didn¡¯t seem to matter.


    Chen Cang had initially wanted to rest at home after his return, but a phone call from his father-in-law had summoned him to the hospital.


    Qin Xiaoyuan was also helpless; after all, those rich ladies had made donations before, and it wasn¡¯t easy to just send them away.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã?


    He had no choice but to call for Chen Cang!


    As soon as Chen Cang arrived at the hospital, he was immediately greeted by so many people holding banners to thank him.


    He had the illusion of being Hua Tuo reincarnated!


    He was somewhat bewildered because¡­ he was certain these were not his patients.


    It was then that Qin Xiaoyuan informed Chen Cang that these were all the generous donor mothers!


    Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment, then he understood.


    Having been away for just three days, he didn¡¯t know how many people had donated, and thinking about it, Chen Cang actually felt somewhat burdened.


    After all, they had come through his own channels, all obligations of human sentiment; when it was time to repay these kindnesses, it wouldn¡¯t be easy for him to decline.


    Tian Xianglan saw Chen Cang, calling him ¡°Director Chen¡± more smoothly than she called Li Baoshan.


    This made Li Baoshan furious; what a money-grubbing woman¡­


    Unable to contain himself, Chen Cang asked, ¡°Head nurse, how much has been donated now, do you have a list?¡±


    Tian Xianglan nodded, handing over the printed material to Chen Cang, ¡°Yes, we¡¯re planning to create something similar to a charity list in the emergency department, to put these names on it.¡±


    When Chen Cang saw the total amount, he took a sharp breath!


    ¡°Eight million eight hundred thousand?¡±


    Tian Xianglan nodded!


    Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh as well; he had now realized that his son-in-law was no ordinary man. A few social media posts could rally nearly ten million in funds.


    The thought of such a network was frightening.


    Having struggled in society for so many years, Qin Xiaoyuan was all too aware of its harsh realities.


    Never think that there are many rich people, or that they don¡¯t care about money.


    In truth, they care about it more than anyone else.


    No tycoon is a fool; they know their numbers better than anything.


    However, precisely because of this, they were willing to donate so much money to Chen Cang; they recognized some special ability in him.


    Qin Xiaoyuan asked himself, how much could he have raised in donations?


    Glancing at Chen Cang, Qin Xiaoyuan wanted to tell him all this, but seeing Chen Cang¡¯s solemn expression, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Perhaps Chen Cang already had a sense of it.


    Zheng Corporation: Zheng Guotan and Zhang Aixiang couple: Two million!


    Tianhua Company: Xiao Tianhua: One million five hundred thousand!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Then there were donations of three hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, from some lesser-known individuals, probably those wealthy matrons.


    Chen Cang had a clear understanding now.


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, now the Emergency Critical Care Charity Fund has been officially established. As the chairman and the team leader of the foundation, you have absolute say over the direction of the funds.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Director Qin, I will strive to do my best.¡±


    Then, Chen Cang approached the group of wealthy women preparing to seek cosmetic surgery from him, and said, ¡°Chen Cang would like to sincerely thank everyone for their donations. I will perform a week of cosmetic surgeries this Sunday. Please go to Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital to arrange and prepare in advance.¡±


    ¡°This surgery is a charitable operation, and all fees will be donated to our Emergency Critical Care Charity Fund. The money should not go to the plastic surgery hospital. As for the amount of the donation, that will be left to personal discretion. Thank you all!¡±


    After finishing, Chen Cang looked at Tian Xianglan, ¡°Head Nurse, could you please help prepare to contact the government, and create a donation certificate for our charity foundation, to give to each donating friend?¡±


    Chen Cang had a clear idea that if he did not take action, the donations he solicited would become weak and meaningless.


    Now, the charitable cosmetic surgery was a very good method.


    And it would also be a very substantial amount of funds!


    After finishing, Chen Cang immediately contacted Xu Rou to make sure she would take care of the registration.


    Then he bade everyone leave.


    The wealthy women¡¯s eyes lit up when they heard Chen Cang would be doing charitable cosmetic surgeries¡ªit confirmed that Doctor Chen was indeed a person of substance!


    Everyone was not foolish!


    The departure of the group returned the emergency room back to its usual tranquility.


    Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Chen Cang¡¯s well-executed combination and was extremely satisfied in his heart!


    He smiled, got up, and left.


    After Chen Cang returned, the resuscitation team breathed a sigh of relief. With Chen Cang there, their rescue team was truly powerful.


    And the whole emergency department cheered for Chen Cang¡¯s return, as if every honor of Chen Cang¡¯s belonged to the emergency department.


    This also gave everyone a sense of being part of a collective family.


    Chen Cang distributed the gifts he brought with him, which weren¡¯t all bought by him, but given to him by the Korean experts during his travels, and he also bought some local specialties to give to the doctors and nurses in emergency medicine.


    Everyone naturally called out happily, ¡°Thank you, Director Chen!¡±


    Sitting in his chair, Chen Cang heard the system¡¯s notification sound.


    [Ding! The Emergency Critical Care Charity Fund is officially in operation, bringing a very positive impact to the development of the department, challenge passed!]


    [Ding! The department system is officially activated!]


    A crisp sound rang out, and Chen Cang suddenly saw an interface for the department appear on the virtual screen!


    After opening the department, all the names, ranks, and positions of the staff appeared.


    Chen Cang looked at himself:


    Chen Cang: Level 41, Deputy Director of the department!


    Chen Cang had a d¨¦j¨¤ vu of a clan system in a game.


    When he clicked on others, there was an option to view information, but¡­


    [Ding! Insufficient authority, only department heads may view.]


    Chen Cang was resigned.


    He could only see the levels; specific information was inaccessible.


    The department system had two sections: one for clinical and another for research.


    Chen Cang chose Clinical, and an interface immediately appeared:


    [Clinical: Score: 23 points.]


    [Department Skill: Chen Suture Technique; Minilaparotomy Appendectomy, Laparoscopic Minimally Invasive Small Wounds. Note: After activating the department system, department personnel can increase their learning progress when studying related skills.]


    [Research: Score: 3 points.]


    [Research Project: None!]


    [Overall Score: 26 points, National Ranking: 319th, Provincial: 6th!]


    Chen Cang finally had a clear understanding of their emergency department.


    So, we really are inferior!


    With hundreds of triple-A hospitals nationwide, ranking 319th is truly embarrassing.

 Chapter 702 - Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Emergency Rescue Two Hundred Miles!

    Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Emergency Rescue Two Hundred Miles!


    But!


    Looking at the three clinical skills inside, Chen Cang was stunned for a moment¡ªweren¡¯t these the three skills he had created?


    Why were there no others?


    At that moment, the system notification sounded.


    [Ding! Departmental clinical skills must be acquired through departmental research, such as by publishing papers, conducting clinical trials, and obtaining skills and treatment methods with definitive efficacy for patients!]


    Chen Cang then realized that all three of his skills were obtained by publishing papers and researching clinical data effectively.


    And these skills, if department members wanted to learn, the process would be relatively quicker!


    This was actually equivalent to gang skills!


    And to obtain gang skills, one must conduct research and develop skills through research.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang suddenly realized that for the department to develop, it had to rely on the combination of research and clinical practice.


    [Ding! As the head (associate head) of the department, you will receive a gift bag each month. Tip: the higher the ranking, the richer the gift bag!]


    After seeing the ranking beyond three hundred, Chen Cang silently sighed!


    The development of the Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s emergency department had a long and arduous journey ahead!

    ¡­


    ¡­


    In the following days, Chen Cang¡¯s life once again returned to its normal track.


    The only difference was that now wherever he went, everyone greeted him fervently with ¡°Director Chen¡± out of respect.


    Indeed, from the national champion of cardiothoracic surgical skills competition to the annual best plastic surgeon, everyone recognized that Chen Cang was beyond comparison now.


    Never mind being an associate director, countless hospitals might even want to invite him to be their dean!


    However, it seemed emergency work never got lighter just because one was a director.


    In the afternoon, just as Chen Cang had come in from outside, he heard the head nurse scolding Wang Qian angrily:


    ¡°Dr. Wang, how many times have I told you to use less gauze? And your iodophor, you poured so much in one go, you¡­ it¡¯s such a waste! I¡¯m telling you, if I find you doing this again, I¡¯ll tell the director to dock your pay.¡±


    ¡°And look at the way you¡¯ve learned from Director An. Do you think you own the hospital or what? Sutures and sterilizing instruments cost money, do you not understand that everything costs when you don¡¯t run a household?¡±


    Unable to help himself, Wang Qian gave an embarrassed smile and said, ¡°Tian Mom, I get it, don¡¯t be mad, okay? If you get a breast lump out of anger, wouldn¡¯t we be the ones performing the surgery on you? It¡¯s not worth it!¡±


    Tian Xianglan found Wang Qian¡¯s words amusing and couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry at the same time!


    Seeing Chen Cang approaching, Wang Qian suddenly found a scapegoat: ¡°Look, Tian Mom, Chen Cang is even more wasteful than I am, why don¡¯t you scold him?¡±


    Tian Xianglan rolled her eyes and scoffed, ¡°Director Chen is the associate head of the department, and besides, he is our department¡¯s God of Wealth. If you can bring in 10 million in donations, I won¡¯t say a word¡ªeven if you used iodophor for a bath or gauze for the toilet, I¡¯d buy them back for you without a second word!¡±


    The nearby junior nurse couldn¡¯t help but laugh!


    Wang Qian couldn¡¯t help but feel aggrieved, ¡°Tian Mom, you¡¯re playing favorites!¡±


    Just then, the phone at the nurse station rang; Lele answered it, and after a short while, suddenly looked up and said,


    ¡°Director Chen, there¡¯s a call from the emergency center. There¡¯s a patient with acute myocardial infarction at Nanqiao township health center; they want us to go pick them up!¡±


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned. ¡°What exactly is the patient¡¯s condition?¡±


    Lele briefly recounted the symptoms¡ªworking regularly in emergencies had honed her ability to remember details of a patient¡¯s condition.


    ¡°The patient is an elderly woman, seventy-one years old. A week ago, she was admitted to the Nanqiao township health center for treatment of an acute myocardial infarction. This morning, her symptoms worsened suddenly with severe difficulty breathing. They requested support from the local county hospital, but after they arrived, they didn¡¯t have a clear solution, and now the patient must be transferred to Anyang City.¡±


    ¡°But the doctor on duty there isn¡¯t capable of long-distance transfers and hopes we can cooperate in rescuing the patient!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Chen Cang nodded his head and had some guesses and thoughts in mind.


    The specific medical history was unknown, and in such situations, even if you asked clearly, it would be of no use.


    What is an emergency doctor, after all?


    It means that when a patient calls for help through 120, no matter what dangers lie ahead, you must charge forward.


    To say it¡¯s a matter of life and death might be an exaggeration, but¡­ who made us emergency doctors?


    This kind of long-distance medical callout is just like that, full of risks on the road, and Chen Cang has to take several trips every month.


    And each trip is nerve-wracking.


    Wang Qian couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Nanqiao Township Health Center? It¡¯s more than 100 kilometers away from here, right? And there¡¯s a stretch of mountainous road that¡¯s not easy to travel!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s hurry up. The patient is in the recovery phase of an acute myocardial infarction and is now worsening; there must be complications. They might need immediate surgery¡ªget the stuff ready quickly!¡±


    After saying this, Chen Cang turned to Lin Ran: ¡°Lin Ran, will you come with me?¡±


    Chen Cang liked the young girl Lin Ran very much; she was quick-witted and nimble, much livelier than Lele, and Chen Cang often took her out on 120 emergency calls.


    Wang Qian suddenly said, ¡°Shall I come along?¡±


    Chen Cang shook his head directly: ¡°There¡¯s still a lot to do in the department, and you and Wen Fu might also have emergency surgeries to deal with!¡±


    Wang Qian had no choice but to give up.


    Chen Cang was also uncertain about going to the countryside, not for any other reason.


    But due to a very realistic problem.


    The distribution of medical resources within the country is extremely unequal, and the comprehensive quality of doctors varies greatly from expert authorities to township health practitioners, with theoretical knowledge and clinical capabilities both declining. Having spent over three years in the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital and making frequent trips to grassroots emergency units, Chen Cang had deep feelings about this situation.


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang dared not delay any longer.


    An automated external defibrillator was a must!


    He also needed to prepare rescue materials, and mulling it over, he suddenly thought of the surgery Guo Yunfei performed in the car last time. He said to Lin Ran, ¡°Prepare a set of emergency surgical instruments!¡±


    Lin Ran was very obedient and efficient. It wasn¡¯t long before the two got into driver Lao Yang¡¯s car.


    When Lao Yang heard ¡®Nanqiao Township Health Center,¡¯ his brows furrowed, and he chuckled: ¡°This road really isn¡¯t easy to travel!¡±


    ¡°Once out of the city, onto the highway, transfer to the provincial road, then take a country lane, enter the mountain area, and drive through a few kilometers of winding roads¡ªit feels almost like going on a trip.¡±


    ¡°To be honest, if it weren¡¯t for a mission, driving out for a spin there would be a nice choice!¡±


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Driver Lao Yang had been driving 120 emergency vehicles all his life, had been to half of Dongyang, and knew the routes to various hospitals like the back of his hand.


    Two hours later, the car smoothly entered the Nanqiao Township Health Center.


    Chen Cang quickly led Lin Ran towards the inside!


    ¡­

    ps: I wrote a bit late today.


    Thank you to ¡°xianzhea¡± brother for the 10000 reward!

 Chapter 703 - Chapter 703: Chapter 703: Clear Clue

    Chapter 703: Chapter 703: Clear Clue


    Old Yang had driven ambulances his entire life, from the Jinbei Grace to the Mercedes 416, the evolution of his vehicles bearing witness to the growth of An Yang City¡¯s EMSS over the years.


    This time, Old Yang was driving a Mercedes 214, which had ample power and could reach top speeds of 200 kilometers per hour, but it also consumed a considerable amount of fuel.


    This kind of vehicle wasn¡¯t cheap at all; a set of original Mercedes ambulance series would cost over 1.4 million yuan, and that was just the standard configuration!


    Of course, it wasn¡¯t just about the price of the vehicle; it also included oxygen supply equipment, air disinfection and circulation support, ECG monitoring, ventilators, defibrillators¡­ all sorts of specialized equipment.


    Generally speaking, those who could afford an ambulance weren¡¯t necessarily luxury manufacturers, but they were usually pretty reliable; domestic Jinbei was also considered a well-established brand.


    However¡­ the defects of the Mercedes 214 were also quite apparent¡ªaverage suspension, great for urban emergency responses, very agile!


    But on these mountain roads, Chen Cang felt a bit like he was floating¡­


    The performance of the Mercedes couldn¡¯t be fully utilized, and even in terms of steering and flexibility it wasn¡¯t as good as the domestic Jinbei.


    Trekking mountain roads in an ambulance actually posed a hefty challenge for ambulance drivers!


    Xiaolin, sitting in the passenger seat, was okay, but Chen Cang, sitting in the back of the vehicle, felt a bit light on his feet after stepping out.


    The director of the Nanqiao Township Health Center was already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Chen Cang and the others disembark, his face lit up with joy, and he hurried over to greet them!


    ¡°Expert, hello!¡± The director was very enthusiastic; his constant reference to Chen Cang as an ¡°expert¡± left Chen Cang feeling a little uncomfortable.


    After some pleasantries, they headed straight inside.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    The development of this township health center was quite decent; a four-story inpatient building looked somewhat imposing.


    Chen Cang followed the director upstairs, while Old Yang went to turn the ambulance around, getting ready for transport.


    If he and Chen Cang were out on a call together, he would follow and assist. In situations where they weren¡¯t short-handed, Old Yang preferred not to interject.


    Xiaolin obediently carried the emergency kit, closely following behind Chen Cang.


    With several years of experience in emergency care, Xiaolin¡¯s capabilities extended beyond those of a nurse. To be honest, Xiaolin¡¯s resuscitation skills might even surpass those of the director here.


    The second floor was for cardiology, and the group entered the patient¡¯s room.


    Chen Cang finally saw the patient, a seventy-one-year-old lady, who was lying in bed with the head raised, breathing rapidly and panting non-stop!


    Her tired eyes were closed and her rough, hurried breaths could be mistaken for snores or something else.


    She had an oxygen tube in her nostrils and looked pale and in pain!


    With this first glance, Chen Cang sensed that the situation was perhaps not as simple as he had thought!


    At that thought, Chen Cang¡¯s mind immediately considered the possibility of heart failure.


    Elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction could potentially experience acute heart failure during an episode.


    The attending physician was a young man younger than Chen Cang; yet, judging by his oily appearance, he seemed to have been working for quite some time.


    But naturally, Chen Cang didn¡¯t feel the need to demand too much from him. After all, frankly speaking, not many young people were willing to work in a health center nowadays; what more could one ask for?


    Chen Cang had intended to ask about the patient¡¯s condition, but after a moment¡¯s consideration, he went straight to the elderly woman¡¯s bedside, lifted the blanket and examined her legs and feet.


    The family member present was a rural woman, likely her daughter-in-law, who was taking meticulous care of her.


    Typically, patients with right heart failure would exhibit edema, but the elderly woman showed no such signs: no swollen legs, and her face showed little evidence of puffiness.


    Chen Cang noted that the elderly woman¡¯s sitting breathing didn¡¯t seem characteristic of someone with right heart failure.


    It was more indicative of a typical left heart failure, exemplified by difficulty in breathing and orthopnea.


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t continue his examination; at that moment, the woman opened her eyes and smiled at seeing Chen Cang.


    She had the kind smile of a benevolent old lady.


    Upon seeing her, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but first ask a few simple questions, such as her age, how well she slept, and so on.


    ¡°`


    The old man¡¯s response was very clear.


    Chen Cang also quietly nodded, conscious, thinking clearly, mentally alert, that was somewhat reassuring.


    Only then did Chen Cang continue to inquire about the medical history.


    Seven days ago, a sudden heart attack occurred, and he was promptly taken to the hospital. Since yesterday morning, he began to experience difficulty breathing and was able to lie flat, but he found it more comfortable to lie in a semi-upright position. However, he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath all night, unable to sleep, so the old man was visibly restless and somewhat irritable!


    First, Chen Cang comforted the old man, then asked the family members to help the old man lie down properly.


    Chen Cang picked up the stethoscope and started auscultation!


    At the apex of the heart, he could hear the typical systolic murmur, and there were also wet crackles at the base of both lungs!


    Chen Cang immediately frowned!


    Something¡¯s wrong?


    This was not a sign of heart failure?


    Initially, according to the old man¡¯s description and the family¡¯s statements, all signs were pointing towards left heart failure.


    But after listening, Chen Cang felt that although it could not be ruled out, it probably was not the main cause!


    Thinking this, Chen Cang asked Xiaolin to measure the blood pressure and oxygen saturation.


    ¡°Blood pressure 120/80mmHg!¡±


    ¡°Heart rate 100 beats per minute!¡±


    ¡°Blood oxygen 95!¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the old man, ¡°Have you ever had heart disease before? Or hypertension or anything like that¡­?¡±


    The old man shook his head.


    The daughter-in-law also said, ¡°He¡¯s always been very strong, had five sons and two daughters!¡±


    Chen Cang was taken aback; seven siblings, though it proved nothing¡­ he must have been quite robust!


    With that thought, Chen Cang turned to the attending physician, ¡°Give me the medical records.¡±


    The attending physician was very cooperative, ¡°Okay, okay, just a moment!¡±


    It wasn¡¯t long before he came back with the medical record file.


    Chen Cang saw that there were about seven or eight ECGs, done daily. On admission, there were two typical ST segment elevation in a saddleback shape, typical of acute myocardial infarction waveforms.


    But¡­ in the following days, one ECG a day, although the chest pain had subsided, the patient¡¯s ST segment did not show a falling trend.


    What exactly was going on?


    If we cannot make a definite diagnosis now, we definitely can¡¯t hit the road!


    At that moment, the old man¡¯s children also arrived, five strapping men entered, and Chen Cang turned to look at each one of them, towering and robust, and suddenly felt this too was a mother¡¯s pride.


    ¡°Doctor, please hurry and send him to Anyang,¡± said the eldest of the sons.


    Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Wait a moment, the old man¡¯s condition is not stable, and the journey is long. I¡¯m worried there will be complications. We need to stabilize his symptoms first, at the very least get a definitive diagnosis!¡±


    The family, hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, fell silent.


    In the eyes of the villagers, the expert from the provincial capital must be right and didn¡¯t want to act smarter than they were.


    On the contrary, those who half-understood and armed themselves with Baidu to argue with the doctor were even more troublesome!


    At this time, Chen Cang placed his hand on the strongest point of the apex beat and continued to feel it, a thrill?!


    This signal immediately made Chen Cang somewhat unexpectedly delighted!

 Chapter 707 - Chapter 707: Chapter 707: The Most Helpless Skill!

    Chapter 707: Chapter 707: The Most Helpless Skill!


    Chen Cang emerged from the operating room, feeling quite exhilarated!


    Because he just witnessed a burst of golden light!


    Although he still did not know what it was, the color gold meant it was a perfect Skill Book, or a legendary treasure.


    However, seeing a crowd of department heads looking at him with sentiment, Chen Cang felt a bit embarrassed to leave so early!


    After all, these department heads had held back any enmity for him tonight, helping him successfully take down the boss; they had their merits too!


    Chen Cang had not expected that a lord-level monster could drop a golden item, which was quite a surprise to him.


    Several department heads followed Chen Cang into the changing room.


    Tao Zi was honestly still puzzled about how Chen Cang had trained his left hand.


    He felt Chen Cang¡¯s operation today had broadened his horizons, that left-hand technique could truly be useful in some situations.


    After all, if God gave you two hands, there must be a reason!


    The department heads each had their own thoughts.


    Even if they couldn¡¯t learn themselves, after understanding the technique, they could still teach it to their students after returning home, right?


    After all, one cannot have too many skills.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.??


    These department heads had now realized that Chen Cang could not become their disciple, so instead of that, it was better to learn the successful experiences and teach their own students.


    With this in mind, everyone became even more curious about who had taught Chen Cang his left-hand techniques and who the teachers that Chen Cang mentioned were!


    Therefore, when they were coming out, Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but pull Chen Cang aside and asked him in a low voice, ¡°Xiao Chen, I have something to ask you. If you think it¡¯s appropriate, you can tell me, but don¡¯t force yourself if it¡¯s not!¡±


    Chen Cang looked at Tao Zi¡¯s serious demeanor and nodded, ¡°Director Tao, just ask directly, what is it?¡±


    Tao Zi rubbed his hands together, rather embarrassed, ¡°It¡¯s just¡­ who are those female teachers you mentioned before? I also want to learn from them.¡±


    ¡°The ones¡­ who taught you the left-hand techniques!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned and couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry!


    He really didn¡¯t know how to start explaining!


    Some of them had already retired, and now they couldn¡¯t be found anymore¡­


    But he had an inspiration, and said to Director Tao, ¡°Director Tao, actually¡­ it was Qian Lin who taught me, you should go back and ask him!¡±


    Tao Zi¡¯s eyes immediately lit up!!


    Qian Lin?


    Did that chubby guy really have this skill?


    It seems he¡¯s not useless after all!


    He would ask him tomorrow at work, no, as soon as he got home tonight!


    Having made up his mind, Tao Zi left satisfied.


    ¡­


    ¡­


    After Chen Cang went out, he discovered it wasn¡¯t just one man waiting; it seemed like the elderly woman¡¯s children were all there, a whole crowd of people that made for quite a sight.


    For a woman to have raised such a large family was truly not easy; reminiscing about those time-worn and labored hands, Chen Cang felt that perhaps this was what a mother was all about!


    Fortunately, the surgery had been a success!


    For this large family, it was a blessing.


    Upon seeing Chen Cang, the eldest stood up and said anxiously, ¡°Doctor¡­ I¡­ my mother¡­¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and gave a slight smile.


    ¡°If we¡¯re talking about the surgery alone, it was very successful, but the old lady¡¯s condition is not particularly optimistic; we still have to wait and see how she recovers.¡±


    When everyone heard that the surgery was very successful, they all breathed a sigh of relief.


    The eldest son quickly expressed his gratitude, ¡°Doctor, we are already extremely grateful, and we understand that it¡¯s a step by step process. We can¡¯t expect to be fully recovered all at once, but now that the surgery is successful, the chances are even better!¡±


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you today, my mother would have been gone. I¡¯m really thankful to you, doctor!¡±


    The man was even taller than Chen Cang, and his younger brothers and sisters behind him each gave Chen Cang a bow to express their thanks.


    Perhaps this sense of achievement is the greatest happiness in being a doctor?


    After seeing off the patient, Chen Cang returned to his office and sat down.


    He carefully opened his reward!


    [Ding! Congratulations, for repairing the LV70 lord monster, you have earned a generous reward: 1. A golden Skill Book! 2. Level+1. 3. Skill points+2!]


    Chen Cang was somewhat surprised, it was really a golden Skill Book.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t wait to open it, and immediately felt the dazzling golden light flicker.


    Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out!


    [Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired: Obstetrics (Perfect Level)]


    Chen Cang was immediately dumbfounded!


    His brain quickly went into a blue screen state¡­


    What the hell¡­ Obstetrics skills!


    Chen Cang really didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry.


    What do I need this skill for?


    And it¡¯s at the perfect level!


    People give birth in hospitals, it¡¯s not like I could become the head of obstetrics, right?


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang suddenly felt like crying.


    Well, forget it, forget it!


    After all, it was a perfect surgery, Chen Cang thought and sighed.


    But this skill isn¡¯t completely useless, in an emergency, anything can happen, you never know who might show up!


    Besides, if all else fails, I can take matters into my own hands when my wife gives birth in the future!


    Thinking of Qin Xiaotian, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but smile, delivering his own child in the future with perfect-level obstetrics, that should be no problem!


    He sighed and could only comfort himself like this.


    After leaving the ER, Chen Cang called Qin Yue.


    He brought her the gifts he had bought from Korea, all sorts of facial masks, skin care, and cosmetics, as well as medicinal cosmetics gifted by Mr. Miyake Takuto, which seemed to be quite precious from the packaging.


    Qin Yue was originally sitting at home, utterly bored, but as soon as she saw Chen Cang¡¯s call, she immediately stood up, changed her shoes, and ran downstairs.


    This series of movements stunned Old Qin: ¡°Wife, your daughter is so proficient at this! She¡¯s really eager!¡±


    Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes: ¡°How could she not be quick?¡±


    ¡°If my boyfriend was as outstanding as Xiao Chen, I¡¯d be even quicker than her!¡±


    With that comment, Old Qin was left speechless for a while, huffing and puffing until he finally got his breath back.


    ¡°That¡¯s not fair, what¡¯s wrong with me, where am I lacking?¡±


    Ji Ruyun sighed: ¡°All right, all right, don¡¯t pretend to be aggrieved when you have the upper hand.¡±


    ¡°You tell me, if it wasn¡¯t for Xiao Chen, would you have had such a smooth experience this time? I couldn¡¯t imagine that they would let you go directly to be the president of Dongyang Medical University!¡±


    Old Qin started laughing when he talked about this: ¡°That¡¯s because I have the experience, and the leaders recognize my ability, so they chose a suitable position for me! Besides¡­ I think it¡¯s just so-so!¡±


    Ji Ruyun immediately widened her eyes: ¡°Hey hey hey? Qin Xiaoyuan, why are you so shameless! Look how smug you are, who was it who laughed in their sleep last night and woke themselves up from laughter?¡±


    ¡°From now on, when I praise Xiao Chen, you just listen quietly and don¡¯t talk back!¡±


    The senior leader had just notified Qin Xiaoyuan that the president of Dongyang Medical University would be retiring next year, and he should prepare in case he might be transferred there; however, it might require at least more than half a year¡¯s time.

 Chapter 708 - Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Qian Lin, The Survivor After the Ordeal

    Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Qian Lin, The Survivor After the Ordeal


    During this period, Qin Xiaoyuan naturally had every reason to be proud, his face glowing with health and vigor.


    He had recently become the darling of the health sector in Dongyang, and everyone who met him couldn¡¯t help but enviously address him as ¡°Director Qin.¡±


    It couldn¡¯t be helped!


    Ever since Chen Cang won the national championship in the cardiac surgery skills competition, the leadership had directly sought him out for a talk, proactively inquiring about his career aspirations.


    Old Qin had worked in Anyang all his life and was emotionally attached to it.


    It¡¯s just that he was getting on in years and couldn¡¯t engage in clinical practices every day. He felt it was time to properly summarize the experiences and lessons he had gathered throughout his lifetime.


    Thus, the old leader recommended a position for him at Dongyang Medical University.


    The emergency critical care charity fund that Chen Cang had initiated a few days before had become a model within the province, touted as the most successful charity fund!


    Actually, what defines success if not an abundance of money?


    A charity fund worth tens of millions, that¡¯s a golden signboard for the Second Provincial Hospital!


    Not to mention the award Chen Cang had won in South Korea a few days ago which even got a shout-out on the ¡°People¡¯s Daily,¡± praising it as a display of our great country¡¯s elegance and cultural sophistication.


    These past few days, quite a few people sought out Old Qin to discuss life aspirations.


    After all, it was he who had promoted Chen Cang, and to everyone else, Old Qin was the one with a discerning eye for talent.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??0.§ã?


    This Chen Cang kid is indeed outstanding!


    His wife praised him, and he didn¡¯t argue anymore.


    Thinking this, Old Qin hummed the familiar tune of ¡°Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy¡±¡­


    Seeing this, Ji Ruyun couldn¡¯t help but laugh along.


    It wasn¡¯t so much about Chen Cang¡¯s excellence that made her happy; primarily, it was seeing her own daughter content, and her husband joyful, that filled her with delight.


    ¡°Old Qin, do you think we should meet with Chen¡¯s parents soon?¡±


    ¡°You also meet with Chen often. Why don¡¯t¡­ you push for it a bit? After all, both of them are heading to the capital next year. We shouldn¡¯t let this matter be delayed again.¡±


    Old Qin frowned, ¡°This young man¡­ does he really need me to spell it out? He¡¯s quite oblivious; doesn¡¯t he know my daughter isn¡¯t lacking suitors? No, no! They must be the ones to speak up first!¡±


    Ji Ruyun laughed, ¡°As if only your daughter is a treasure, and Chen isn¡¯t! You tell me, with Chen being so outstanding now, aren¡¯t you worried someone else might take an interest in him?¡±


    ¡°In this beautiful world, what if a pretty girl, a rich boss, or even a leader¡¯s daughter takes a fancy to Chen?¡±


    Old Qin retorted unconvinced, ¡°My daughter is not bad either.¡±


    Ji Ruyun mocked, ¡°Sure, she¡¯s not bad. Go check if your liquor stash has been depleted¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Old Qin¡¯s face changed instantly, and he rushed into the study.


    A few minutes later, he burst out in a frustrated and embarrassed rage, ¡°That little thief! He¡¯d better marry soon, or I¡¯ll soon be left with nothing¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Tao Zi returned home in high spirits and excitedly took a bath.


    Remembering Chen Cang¡¯s words, Tao Zi was still quite thrilled. It seemed his own hard work was being noticed and not going unnoticed.


    With this thought, Tao Zi became curious about which teacher could teach such left-handed techniques?


    Thereupon, Tao Zi directly dialed Qian Lin¡¯s number.


    At this moment, deep into the quiet night, Qian Lin was alone in his bedroom watching videos when his phone suddenly rang, startling him.


    It turned out to be his teacher!


    Calling so late, what could it be about?


    After hesitating for a while, Qian Lin decided to answer.


    ¡°Teacher, you haven¡¯t gone to bed yet at this late hour? Don¡¯t overwork yourself,¡± Qian Lin habitually threw in a compliment.


    Tao Zi chuckled, this kid sure knew how to sweet-talk, ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m about to. I¡¯ve just returned from the hospital today after performing a surgery with Chen.¡±


    Qian Lin was taken aback!


    The moment he heard the name Chen Cang, he was ready to hang up, bracing himself for another scolding from his teacher.


    However, just then, Tao Zi unexpectedly responded with a kind smile, ¡°Qian, actually, when I¡¯m tough on you, it¡¯s because I want you to study hard and make an effort.¡±


    Qian Lin was pleasantly shocked, the teacher had called to praise him?


    Such a rare occasion!


    After a moment, Tao Zi suddenly said, ¡°Qian, I want to ask you something.¡±


    ¡°Chen mentioned you have a good practice method. I¡¯d like to try it out too!¡±


    On hearing this, Qian Lin was momentarily stunned, ¡°What do you mean, teacher?¡±


    Tao Zi said solemnly, ¡°Qian, keeping secrets is not a good thing!¡±


    Qian Lin was dumbfounded in response!


    Damn it!


    He hesitated for a long time!


    Was this real or a joke?


    Moreover, was it appropriate for his teacher to¡­?


    At this thought, Qian Lin felt uncertain.


    After all, such things were rare even abroad!


    He opened the browser and typed, ¡°What should you do?¡±


    But¡­


    Baidu didn¡¯t know either.


    This time, Qian Lin was stumped.


    At this moment, seeing that Qian Lin was silent, Tao Zi thought he was unwilling and got a bit angry, ¡°If it¡¯s inconvenient, forget it! No big deal, no big deal!¡±


    Qian Lin hurriedly said, ¡°No, no, no¡­ Teacher, I just don¡¯t know what kind you like, for example¡­ Western? Or domestic? Or maybe Japanese and Korean?¡±


    Tao Zi was stunned!


    Indeed impressive, even sorted by countries, something he hadn¡¯t heard of.


    With that thought, Tao Zi directly said, ¡°I studied in Japan for a while, so let¡¯s go with Japanese and Korean. Today, when I saw young Chen operate, he was very agile. He said it was because he watched these movies, and I said I would give it a try!¡±


    ¡°Right, young Qian, you should also watch them often and learn some, follow young Chen¡¯s example!¡±


    Qian Lin was dumbfounded!


    Perhaps this was the difference between himself and a master?


    Watching films could be so professional¡­


    ¡°Teacher, how many do you want?¡±


    Tao Zi was taken aback, ¡°Do you have a lot? Just give me one to try!¡±


    Qian Lin racked his brains and ended up sending a bunch of seeds over.


    But after sending them, he still felt anxious and hesitant.


    It still didn¡¯t feel quite right.


    But he couldn¡¯t put his finger on it.


    Suddenly, Tao Zi said, ¡°Alright, when you have time, watch those videos more, they¡¯re quite important for our surgery department!¡±


    Qian Lin nodded, ¡°Thank you, teacher, I¡¯m watching them right now!¡±


    Tao Zi nodded with satisfaction, ¡°Hmm! Good, not bad!¡±


    After saying that, he hung up the phone.


    Qian Lin felt that tonight was somewhat hair-raising¡­


    He really didn¡¯t know how to describe it!


    Thinking this, he decided to call Chen Cang.


    ¡°Cang Er, what¡¯s going on?¡±


    Chen Cang was immediately stunned, ¡°You sent it?¡±


    Qian Lin nodded, ¡°Yes, I sent one set.¡±


    Chen Cang immediately broke into a sweat, ¡°Old Qian, if you can retract it, do so. If you can¡¯t, hurry and find your uncle to see if there¡¯s still a chance!¡±


    After saying that, Chen Cang explained the situation to Qian Lin.


    Instantly, Qian Lin¡¯s mind was struck by thunder!


    He felt like his soul had left his body and ascended to heaven!


    ¡°Chen Cang, you scoundrel, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Qian Lin trembled with anger.


    Chen Cang sighed, ¡°You should think about what to do next!¡±


    Qian Lin hung up the phone, completely panicked¡­


    He had already considered whether to turn himself in, since distribution¡­ was illegal.


    But at this moment, Tao Zi called again, ¡°That¡­ young Qian, I can¡¯t understand the bunch of letters you sent me, bring the videos to me some other day.¡±


    Only then did Qian Lin breathe a sigh of relief.


    He suddenly felt the relief of having survived a catastrophe.


    Qian Lin took a few deep breaths and muttered in relief: Living is damn good, life is freaking thrilling!


    Thinking this, he quickly said to the teacher, ¡°Teacher, those are garbled text, please delete them. I¡¯ll bring my hard drive to you another day, it¡¯s specifically for training finger dexterity!¡±


    Tao Zi nodded, ¡°Alright, get some rest early, young Qian.¡±


    Only then did Qian Lin breathe a sigh of relief, ¡°Thank you for your concern, teacher.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Qian Lin felt that those few minutes had been unbearably long.


    The distance between life and death!


    He touched his bedsheets, soaked through!


    Almost scared to pee himself!


    His back was covered in sweat.


    Upon further thought, he picked up his phone, hesitating for a long time about whether to delete Chen Cang.


    But first, he decided to look up some finger exercises to download!

 Chapter 709 - Chapter 709: Chapter 709: What Clothes Do You Like Me Wearing?

    Chapter 709: Chapter 709: What Clothes Do You Like Me Wearing?


    Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang¡¯s panicked expression and immediately became curious.


    After hanging up the phone, she said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, you looked so scared just now!¡±


    Chen Cang was also breaking out in a cold sweat.


    He never expected that Qian Lin would be so bold as to actually send those ¡°seeds¡± to Director Tao!


    Luckily Director Tao didn¡¯t understand, or else¡­


    There would be no way to explain today¡¯s incident!


    Who knows, Qian Lin might even make the headlines on Weibo tomorrow!


    At that point¡­ he¡¯d really become famous!


    This guy truly had the ability to turn decay into magic. Just how big a heart and how fat a liver did he have under that two to three hundred pounds of flesh?


    Thinking about it made Chen Cang feel a bit scared.


    However, thinking of how terrified Qian Lin was, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter.


    Then he explained the whole situation to Qin Yue.


    After hearing the story, Qin Yue was also torn between laughter and tears.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    ¡°Qian Lin was almost killed by you¡­¡±


    Chen Cang said righteously, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Director Tao to actually ask for it! Besides¡­ Qian Lin is an idiot; this stuff is fine for us to look at for fun, but giving it to a teacher?¡±


    Suddenly, Qin Yue stopped talking and stood there, staring at Chen Cang with interest.


    ¡°So¡­ you like looking at that teacher, huh?¡±


    Chen Cang, upon hearing this, was suddenly in high spirits, ¡°It depends on my mood. For example, if today is laid-back, I prefer Misaki-sensei from home economics, but if today is happy, I¡¯ll enjoy Matsuo-sensei from family classroom¡­¡±


    While Chen Cang was listing his preferences, he suddenly realized!


    Wait a minute!


    This isn¡¯t an ¡°academic exchange¡± with Fatty Qian; this is his girlfriend in front of him!


    Chen Cang immediately coughed and glanced carefully at Qin Yue, ¡°I¡¯m just kidding! Seriously, why would I need that when I have a girlfriend? My girlfriend is the prettiest¡­¡±


    Instead of getting angry, Qin Yue seductively whispered in Chen Cang¡¯s ear, ¡°What do you like me to wear? Teacher? Nurse? Flight attendant? Or maybe¡­¡±


    Chen Cang shivered on the spot!


    He was invigorated!


    Could it be that such good fortune was upon him?


    However, Chen Cang was still a bit nervous, looking at Qin Yue, he couldn¡¯t help swallowing and asked doubtfully, ¡°Really?¡±


    Qin Yue nodded shyly with a squint, ¡°Mmhmm!¡±


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, feeling a bit uneasy. He hadn¡¯t expected that inside Xiao Qin¡¯s soul lay a little devil with horns.


    For some reason, he was also a bit excited.


    Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were filled with lust and anticipation, and he couldn¡¯t help rubbing his hands together. Such a great opportunity?


    Could it be¡­


    Today was the time for Chen to show his skills?


    The thought made Chen Cang a bit excited.


    But just then, Qin Yue said enticingly by his ear, ¡°If you pass your exams, I will agree to it!¡±


    Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Pass? What pass?¡±


    Qin Yue whispered into Chen Cang¡¯s ear, ¡°Come on, work hard. Have you completed your fifty minutes yet? And¡­ I¡¯m almost 30, you know¡­¡±


    ¡°As long as you can pass! I will agree to it¡­¡±


    At that moment, Qin Yue suddenly said with a distant tone, ¡°Let me know when you¡¯ve decided, I¡¯m off! I heard¡­ watching little films can make it come early, so be careful next time!¡±


    After saying that, Qin Yue turned and left with a smile.


    Leaving Chen Cang standing there, stupefied!


    The cold wind blew, and Chen Cang was eerily calm!


    The fifty-minute task wasn¡¯t completed yet. Chen Cang, oh Chen Cang, you even dare to look at other teachers; aren¡¯t you afraid you won¡¯t be able to handle Teacher Qin?


    At this thought, Chen Cang made a resolved decision, deep soul-searching reflection! After going back this time, he would bid farewell to those teachers!


    But¡­ fifty minutes?!


    At this moment, Chen Cang felt an unprecedented fighting spirit welling up inside!


    It¡¯s just fifty minutes, isn¡¯t it?


    Try harder!


    Endure the operation!


    Boost stamina!


    Chen Cang felt a small goal forming¡­


    However¡­


    What exactly did that last sentence ¡°I¡¯m almost 30¡± mean?


    Chen Cang scratched his head, walking down the street with a puzzled face.


    He unlocked his phone, searched: ¡°What does it mean when my girlfriend tells me I¡¯m ¡®thirty¡¯?¡±


    Baidu doesn¡¯t know either!


    Chen Cang sighed, Baidu, oh Baidu, you know everything patients ask, but you don¡¯t know the answer to this basic question!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    Friday afternoon was the very first time Director Chen stepped into the outpatient clinic for duty!


    He was feeling a bit thrilled inside.


    That afternoon, Chen Cang opened the clinic door early and changed into a clean white coat.


    Just as he entered, he heard the system notification sound chime!


    [Ding! Clinic mission triggered: Diagnose more than three patients.]


    Chen Cang sneered, looking down on me, huh?


    Three patients.


    With Director Chen in charge, isn¡¯t it as easy as reaching out and grabbing them?


    ¡­


    But, starting from the beginning of his 2:30 pm shift, while the first floor corridor was packed with people, Chen Cang¡¯s area remained an untouched sanctuary, giving him a sense of clear-headed asceticism.


    Helpless!


    If he had known, he wouldn¡¯t have pretended to be above it all, maybe asking the outpatient department director to schedule more appointments for him to get used to things, to adapt.


    He¡¯s a director, after all. Having no patients is quite a blow to one¡¯s dignity¡­


    Please don¡¯t let anyone find out!


    With this in mind, Chen Cang firmly put on his face mask, trying to cover up his face.


    Just when Chen Cang was bored to death and about to give up, a woman suddenly came in, and his face lit up with joy!


    The clinic had its first visitor, at least someone came!


    ¡°Hello, please take a seat.¡±


    The woman looked embarrassed: ¡°Doctor¡­ I¡­¡±


    Chen Cang revealed what he thought to be a very hearty smile: ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What can I help you with?¡±


    The woman gave an awkward smile: ¡°Doctor, may I sit here for a while? There are so many people outside, no seats, and standing makes my back hurt.¡±


    Chen Cang realized that he had celebrated too soon.


    ¡­


    After such incidents happened several times, Chen Cang finally greeted a patient.


    A 17 or 18-year-old young man rushed in and told Chen Cang: ¡°Doctor! I¡¯m not feeling well!¡±


    Chen Cang¡¯s heart leaped with joy, finally, a patient!


    ¡°Sit down first, where do you feel uncomfortable?¡±


    The young man, likely still a high school student in his uniform, said: ¡°I¡­ my heart feels uncomfortable!¡±


    Chen Cang was momentarily taken aback; such a young person with a heart problem?


    ¡°Oh? What¡¯s the matter? Do you feel chest tightness or heart palpitations?¡±


    The young man took a deep breath, looking somewhat dejected, and said: ¡°I¡­ feel distressed in my heart!¡±


    Chen Cang frowned: ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s do this, I¡¯ll take your blood pressure first.¡±


    The young man wanted to refuse, but seeing Chen Cang so earnest, he let it happen.


    After the blood pressure was measured, Chen Cang was momentarily stunned: ¡°Very normal, 110/70mmHg! That¡¯s good, so why does your heart feel uncomfortable? Let me see if you need to have an ECG.¡±


    The young man shook his head: ¡°ECG, no need, it¡¯s just that after every exam, my heart feels like it¡¯s being oppressed by a ball of fire. I feel a burning sensation inside, very uncomfortable¡­ Today I had an exam, didn¡¯t do well, no one to vent to, I passed by the Second Provincial Hospital, saw your clinic was affordable so I came to chat with you¡­¡±


    Half an hour later!


    The young man stood up: ¡°Thank you, doctor, I¡¯m leaving!¡±


    Now, Chen Cang felt just as miserable as the young man did!


    Frustration was burning inside him!


    Treating my outpatient clinic as a counseling room, is that really okay?


    I¡¯ve chatted with you all afternoon for five yuan!


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang also felt uncomfortable in his heart, picked up the sphygmomanometer, and measured his own blood pressure:


    ¡°115/80mmHg!¡±


    Bored, Chen Cang measured his right hand as well.


    Huh?


    It differed by 5 millimeters of mercury!


    Let¡¯s also check my blood oxygen saturation¡­


    With nothing better to do, Chen Cang began to examine himself¡­

 Chapter 713 03-25 - Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Get the Certificate Sooner!

    Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Get the Certificate Sooner!


    Over the past couple of days, Zhang Zhixin has been incredibly busy!


    Ever since Chen Cang won the Best Plastic Surgeon of the Year award, Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital suddenly became all the rage!


    As the president of the hospital, Zhang Zhixin was like adding fuel to the fire, completely overwhelmed!


    He and Xu Rou sat face to face, debating over which of the more than thirty wealthy women listed on the table should receive surgery tomorrow.


    Each of these women had significant connections behind them, so arranging their surgeries haphazardly was simply not an option.


    In the past, Hu Chuanjin would have definitely made the decisions about who gets surgery and who does not.


    But now, old Hu, who once had the fierceness of a tiger, had become as timid as a cat and dared not say a word.


    After all, Chen Cang¡¯s presence at his facility was a favor to him, considering people from all over the country and even the world were vying for the Best Plastic Surgeon.


    Frankly speaking, Chen Cang came here strictly out of respect for his old relationship with Zhang Zhixin.


    Not to mention, let alone the two super tycoons, Zheng Guotan and Ren Naken


    Even Zhang Zhixin himself felt more emboldened now.


    After much thought, it seemed dragging this out wasn¡¯t a viable option, and they wouldn¡¯t be able to please everyone regardless of who was chosen, so they decided to resort to drawing lots.


    This also seemed somewhat more fair.

    Early on Saturday morning, Chen Cang arrived at the hospital ahead of schedule.


    After parking his car and entering the hospital, he found the lobby already bustling with people who stood up at his arrival.


    Everyone knew that Chen Cang was going to perform charitable surgeries today, so interviews were naturally expected.


    After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Cang went straight to his office.


    It wasn¡¯t until he entered the room that he was taken aback!


    Yang Tao, Zhang Zhixin, and Qin Xiang all were there.


    Chen Cang immediately smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s great, I was worried I wouldn¡¯t be able to handle everything on my own!¡±


    However, Chen Cang said, ¡°Teacher Zhang, you go first with me, Director Qin and Director Yang, please rest for a while, you can take over when Teacher Zhang gets tired.¡±


    Although somewhat reluctant, the two could only accept.


    After all, they were here to learn.


    Zhang Zhixin smiled awkwardly, ¡°No problem, no problem, I¡¯m not tired. You two directors should rest more!¡±


    However, Zhang Zhixin didn¡¯t expect that today¡¯s surgery would go on for such a long duration, starting formally at half-past eight in the morning, and it wasn¡¯t until one in the afternoon that they took a short break.


    The anesthetist had been switched out, and the assisting Zhang Zhixin was exhausted.


    It was finally Qin Xiang¡¯s turn to take over.


    The afternoon surgeries began at two and lasted until six-thirty.


    Yang Tao was up next!


    The operation didn¡¯t genuinely conclude until half-past eleven at night!


    During this process, the assistants were changed three or four times, and the instrument nurses went through a full rotation, while Chen Cang alone persisted from beginning to end in surgery!


    This shocked the other directors, who promptly urged Chen Cang to take a rest.


    Originally five surgeries were scheduled, but Chen Cang managed to perform nine in total!


    The wealthy women who had not been selected in the lot drawing were overjoyed by their unexpected turn of fortune!


    They were elated!


    And their husbands were waiting right outside!


    Seeing Chen Cang having started surgeries from early morning until eleven at night, they all fell silent.


    He truly is a formidable man!


    In the end, the patients couldn¡¯t bear to have Chen Cang continue.


    Even the instrument nurses started feeling sorry for him.


    And the reporters seized upon this point to praise Chen Cang!


    ¡°To raise funds for charity, he persisted through a fifteen-hour surgery with only a two-hour break. Doesn¡¯t such a doctor deserve our utmost respect?¡±


    Chen Cang was certainly exhausted, but he felt that if he could perform a few more surgeries today, the charity fund would collect more money, which would help more people and save more lives that could be saved!


    So he also used one of Bai Qiuen¡¯s white coats to recover his physical strength, and took advantage of two bottles of medicine while he was at it, which wasn¡¯t a bad deal after all.


    Naturally, Chen Cang¡¯s actions touched everyone at the Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital and took them by surprise.


    They swore they would never follow him in surgery again.


    Now Qin Xiang and his two colleagues understood why Chen Cang had said they would take turns operating.


    The three of them silently watched Chen Cang, sighed, and shook their heads, stopping short of speaking!


    ¡­


    ¡­


    The next day, Chen Cang brought Qin Xiaotian early in the morning to the house in Hai¡¯an New District, with Wang Zhi and a saleslady accompanying them upstairs.


    As soon as the door opened, Qin Yue¡¯s eyes lit up!


    The entire room was decorated in her favorite style, with a pink bedroom, blue and white floor curtains, elegant wallpaper, and even the smell of paint was not that noticeable.


    The decorating master had put in a lot of effort, especially in handling the details very well.


    Chen Cang watched Qin Yue going around the room very satisfied, his heart also filled with joy.


    And all this, of course, was thanks to Wang Zhi: ¡°Manager Wang, I really can¡¯t thank you enough!¡±


    Wang Zhi couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, smiling: ¡°It was the least I could do. By the way, take a look at what style of home appliances you like. I specifically had Xiao Ya take notes for you. I will install and arrange them for you later, as a wedding gift to you both!¡±


    After viewing the house, Qin Yue began selecting furniture with Xiao Ya¡¯s tablet.


    It must be said, a girl¡¯s attention to detail is meticulous, even thinking of items like blankets and baby cribs.


    Home decor is a money pit, and appliances are even more so. But to the Zheng Group, this was just a drop in the bucket.


    Moreover, Qin Yue wouldn¡¯t foolishly pick out items like a faucet costing 200,000.


    After choosing the furniture, Qin Yue also described where the appliances should be placed.


    After seeing off Wang Zhi and his companion, Qin Yue began to romp around the room happily!


    ¡°Chen Cang! This is going to be our home from now on!¡±


    ¡°Haha, I will be the little tyrant of our home!¡±


    ¡°Later on, I want to spread carpets all over here, bask in the sunlight here, and roll around!¡±


    ¡­


    Chen Cang watched Qin Yue¡¯s face brimming with expectation as she described her visions of the future; he couldn¡¯t help but lose himself in fantasy as well.


    After a while, Qin Yue also grew tired. The two of them sat on the floor in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Through the thick glass, the morning sunlight was warm and sunny, basking their faces, which were filled with happiness.


    Below was a park, with a small river. It was winter now, and the water had frozen over. There weren¡¯t many pedestrians on the road, and the trees were bare.


    But in their eyes, they could see the lush greenery of spring, the cicadas and birds of summer, the falling leaves of autumn, and the blankets of white snow in winter.


    Qin Yue thus leaned on Chen Cang¡¯s shoulder, and suddenly whispered, ¡°Chen Cang¡­¡±


    Chen Cang rubbed her head: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Qin Yue was silent and couldn¡¯t help but turn around to stare at Chen Cang, raising her hand to make him face her.


    Just staring into each other¡¯s eyes.


    Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but laugh: ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    Qin Yue sighed: ¡°I don¡¯t want to be apart from you, I want to live with you and have a child for you.¡±


    After hearing this, Chen Cang smiled: ¡°Alright.¡±


    Qin Yue hugged Chen Cang¡¯s head to her chest, giggling: ¡°Let¡¯s get our marriage certificate sooner, shall we?¡±


    ¡°Then when we go to the capital, we can live together openly; I can take good care of you, and you won¡¯t have to see your teachers anymore!¡±

 Chapter 714 03-25 - Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Difficult and Complicated Diseases!

    Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Difficult and Complicated Diseases!


    ¡°`


    Time spent with Qin Xiaotian always flies by so quickly, and it¡¯s always so sweet!


    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s the taste of her lipstick or that love is just so sweet.


    Perhaps that¡¯s just the way it is when two people are together?


    For some professions, love can indeed be difficult to start and even harder to part.


    Chen Cang and Qin Yue work in the same department, seeing each other daily, which is good.


    Many doctors¡¯ spouses only get to spend less than three days together each week all year round, with rotating shifts, rest days, night shifts, and hospital stays taking up much of their time.


    These rotations alone can account for a significant amount of time.


    That¡¯s not even including further education, rural service, studying, attending conferences, and such, which basically means being apart more often than together.


    Then there are other service positions such as military families, police, and so on.


    Perhaps when a profession carries a special mission, the family must inevitably make sacrifices.


    On Sunday, Chen Cang took Qin Yue for a steaming hot meal at Xiao Long Kan in the afternoon and then satisfiedly headed to the cinema with two cups of milk tea in hand. Qin Yue, not yet satiated after one movie, slept right through the second one.


    Chen Cang draped his down jacket over her, and looking at her long eyelashes, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Once she woke up, Qin Yue was refreshed and full of vitality again, dragging Chen Cang around shopping, eating street food, and wandering through the night market in the evening.


    It was only then that Chen Cang realized he had been away for more than a month due to continuous competitions abroad without accompanying her.


    Chen Cang had just sent Qin Yue home and hadn¡¯t even had a chance to rest when a phone call came in!


    ¡°Director Chen, please come quickly, we have a special patient in the emergency room!¡±


    Chen Cang heard Lele¡¯s voice and was momentarily stunned. ¡°Okay, wait for me, I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    Chen Cang hung up the phone and ran towards the hospital.


    Upon reaching the hospital entrance, he saw many people gathered. Pushing through the crowd, Chen Cang immediately spotted Lele waiting, holding his white coat.


    Seeing Chen Cang enter, she hurriedly handed him the coat, whispering into his ear, ¡°Dr. Chen, it¡¯s a celebrity!¡±


    Chen Cang was stunned for a moment when he heard this.


    No wonder the crowd¡¯s outfits seemed off.


    Outside the resuscitation room, several middle-aged men were standing, hesitating upon seeing Chen Cang enter.


    Lele quickly introduced, ¡°This is our Deputy Director of Emergency Medicine, Director Chen.¡±


    The men then breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°Director Chen, please excuse us, the situation is special, and we don¡¯t want to attract too much attention or trouble.¡±


    Chen Cang was confused, while Lele added, ¡°Director Chen, Dean Qin and Director Li are at a meeting today, and the duty doctor is Dr. Shi.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and entered the resuscitation room, deciding it was best to assess the patient¡¯s condition first.


    Upon entry, he found a man lying on the bed with monitors attached, his complexion pale and his breathing rapid and labored.


    Chen Cang quickly asked, ¡°Dr. Shi, what happened?¡±


    Seeing Chen Cang arrive, Shi Na somehow felt relieved.


    ¡°He was brought in coughing up blood, then he started to faint after admission, with accompanying respiratory difficulty, and he¡¯s had two seizures within ten minutes, recovering on his own; his current temperature is 39.2 degrees Celsius.¡±


    Chen Cang looked at the man, who seemed strangely familiar¡­


    Suddenly, it clicked¡ªhe looked like a young hip-hop star, what was his name¡­ Yu Yi!


    He had a wild look, and a few years ago, he rose to fame after a program called ¡°China¡¯s Hip-Hop,¡± gradually becoming popular.


    With his crazy shouts and roars, he attracted a lot of attention.


    Chen Cang took over the medical record and started reading.


    He then asked, ¡°Is there a medical history or family history?¡±


    Shi Na shook her head. ¡°Not sure, he suddenly passed out before we could ask.¡±


    Chen Cang calmed himself down, lifted the man¡¯s clothes, took the stethoscope, and was about to listen.


    But then he noticed a significant expansion of the thorax!


    He was momentarily shocked!


    A thoracic expansion, accompanied by fainting and loss of consciousness, coughing up blood!


    These were several significant factors, and when intertwined, they seemed particularly complicated.


    What¡¯s the situation with fainting?


    It¡¯s a symptom!


    It refers to transient, self-limiting loss of consciousness, often leading to falls.


    The onset of fainting is rapid, followed by spontaneous, complete, and speedy recovery.


    The mechanism is a brief cerebral hypoperfusion, which, plainly speaking, is a sudden lack of blood to the brain.


    ¡°`


    But when coughing up blood and fainting occur together, it becomes quite complicated.


    Coughing up blood generally means that blood from the throat, lungs, or lower respiratory tract is expelled through the mouth.


    The patient¡¯s vital signs are showing rapid breathing, at 40 breaths per minute!


    The heartbeat is at 95 beats per minute, blood pressure is normal, and body temperature is 39 degrees.


    Chen Cang immediately asked, ¡°How much blood did he cough up?¡±


    Shi Na shook her head, ¡°Not much, less than 20ml, but the cause is unknown.¡±


    After pondering for a moment, Chen Cang lowered his head to pick up the stethoscope and listened carefully.


    Beyond the increased heart rate, Chen Cang detected a typical arrhythmia!


    Premature contractions and supraventricular tachycardia occurred within one minute.


    At this time, Chen Cang found systolic pulsation in the second and third intercostal space at the left sternal border!


    This is¡­


    This is the palpable closure vibrations of the pulmonary valve!


    ¡­


    Just then, the monitor alarm suddenly went off.


    Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!


    The blood pressure is starting to drop?


    Why is there a drop in blood pressure?


    Upon careful auscultation, he found that the heart sounds were diminished!


    The whole process was quite cumbersome, and even Chen Cang felt somewhat at a loss.


    There were too many signs from the patient now!


    A plethora of complex symptoms flooded Chen Cang¡¯s mind, utterly overwhelming him.


    Sometimes, making a diagnosis is like solving a case.


    When the clues are unclear, it feels like fumbling in the dark, unable to grasp any precise leads, because any sign could be a clue.


    Just as everyone was panicking, the blood pressure stabilized!


    Chen Cang was taken aback again.


    It stabilized?


    Although the blood pressure was low, at least it stabilized!


    He suddenly looked down at the apex of the heart, and the apical pulse was no longer visible?


    The heart rate had shot up to 110 beats per minute?


    Chen Cang suddenly examined carefully!


    ¡°Pericardial friction sound!¡±


    Chen Cang understood immediately, there was a slight pericardial effusion, which was impeding the heartbeat and causing the blood pressure to drop.


    But why did the patient have pericardial effusion?


    Now there was one more clue.


    ¡°Have you done an x-ray and CT scan yet?¡±


    Shi Na shook her head, ¡°No, he was just brought in, I¡¯ve just ordered blood to be drawn.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, looking at Lele, ¡°Let the family come in.¡±


    Lele quickly stood up and went out, and that middle-aged man came in.


    ¡°I¡¯m his manager.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded and asked, ¡°Okay, hi, I have a few questions to consult you on, and I hope you can cooperate.¡±


    The man hesitated for a moment then nodded, ¡°Okay, Director Chen, go ahead.¡±


    Chen Cang frowned, ¡°Can you sign for him? The patient¡¯s symptoms are unclear, and he may need to be declared critically ill.¡±


    The man took a deep breath, ¡°I¡¯m also his father!¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Alright, Lele, bring the medical notification and critical condition notice.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡­


    PS: Thanks to ¡°Hua Hua©fLoafer¡± for the 20,000 reward, and to ¡°Bi Mo Shu Dan Qing¡± and hushengayi for the 10,000 reward from two friends.


    This story is quite complicated to write, and I¡¯ve edited it several times. I¡¯m somewhat embarrassed by the disconnected fragments, but let¡¯s continue tomorrow.

 Chapter 715 03-25 - Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Hidden Quest

    Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Hidden Quest


    Just as Chen Cang was about to question the man, suddenly a notification sound appeared within Chen Cang¡¯s mind!


    [Ding! Hidden mission triggered: The First Ring of Truth: Save Yu Yi!


    Behind Yu Yi hides clues to some special matters, please investigate thoroughly.


    Substantial rewards will be granted upon final completion of the mission, current progress: 1%.]


    Chen Cang was instantly stunned.


    Truth?


    What truth?


    Clues to special matters hidden behind Yu Yi?


    Chen Cang was bewildered by the sudden onslaught of linked tasks from the system.


    However, now was not the time to be perplexed¡ªthe patient¡¯s vital signs were extremely unstable, it wasn¡¯t the time to dwell on this.


    Yet, what made Chen Cang curious was that this man who claimed to be a manager was actually Yu Yi¡¯s father?


    Chen Cang nodded, and at that moment, Lele brought over the notification form.


    Yu Yingcai¡¯s hand trembled as he signed, ¡°Director Chen, is it really as serious as you say?¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã?


    Chen Cang nodded gravely, ¡°It seems to be even more serious, the diagnosis is unclear, and the patient¡¯s vital signs are unstable; we cannot even complete the checks. We have already requested a consultation with the hospital¡¯s specialists, but¡­ given the special circumstances, you still need to sign.¡±


    After Chen Cang finished speaking, Yu Yingcai did not hesitate and decisively signed the form.


    At that moment, Chen Cang asked, ¡°Does Yu Yi have any habitual illnesses?¡±


    Yu Yingcai shook his head, ¡°No serious illnesses, just some discomfort in the throat from occupational hazards, but it¡¯s been going on for four or five years now.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded, then asked another more pressing question, ¡°Is there a history of drug abuse?¡±


    Yu Yingcai was startled by the question and said with a serious expression, ¡°No! Absolutely not! I resigned personally to become her manager just because I was worried she might pick up bad habits from this industry.¡±


    Chen Cang nodded.


    After asking a few more questions, he returned to the resuscitation room.


    Shi Na had just completed the ECG.


    Chen Cang took it and looked.


    He frowned immediately, this ECG was very atypical, basically unremarkable; it couldn¡¯t be used as a basis for diagnosis.


    Chen Cang took a deep breath, calming himself down.


    Emergency physicians should always keep their thoughts calm, to analyze all the clues coldly and rationally.


    The onset was sudden, with unexplained pallor, difficulty breathing, coughing up blood, and even fainting!


    Typical convulsions don¡¯t necessarily indicate epilepsy!


    It could also be a symptom of cerebral hypoxia¡­


    What could cause a sudden fainting?


    Chen Cang went through the possibilities in his mind, one by one!


    Orthostatic hypotension? Hypertensive encephalopathy? Blood pressure was completely normal, only lowered recently, and that was due to pericardial effusion, so these were ruled out immediately!


    Arrhythmia, myocardial infarction? ECG was normal, so essentially ruled out!


    Cerebral arteriosclerosis? Cerebral hemorrhage? Vasovagal syncope?


    If it was one of these three possibilities, cerebral hemorrhage would be the most dangerous, cerebral arteriosclerosis probably not so severe, but there was no time for examination now.


    Chen Cang stood up, took out a flashlight, and checked the eyes for light reflex!


    Signs of meningeal irritation¡­


    All negative!


    Cerebrovascular accidents were basically ruled out!


    At that moment, the answer was almost at hand.


    Aortic stenosis?


    Aortic dissection?


    Or possibly¡­ acute pulmonary embolism?


    Thinking of this, Chen Cang¡¯s face changed at once.


    If it was any of these three diseases, life could be at risk at any moment!


    However, just at that moment, Chen Cang suddenly had an epiphany.


    It¡¯s very likely acute pulmonary embolism!


    The young patient developed symptoms: fainting, hemoptysis, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, accompanied by difficulty breathing¡­


    And furthermore, this respiratory distress was sudden!


    At this thought, Chen Cang¡¯s face changed instantly.


    If acute pulmonary embolism is suspected, the first step is to perform a clinical probability assessment!


    Chen Cang quickly picked up the stethoscope and continued to complete related examinations, hearing a faint diastolic gallop rhythm and an accentuated second heart sound in the pulmonary artery!


    With that, the likelihood of a pulmonary embolism shot up to over sixty percent!


    If a definitive diagnosis is needed, a step-by-step examination to rule out other possibilities must be conducted!


    But now, the question was whether the patient could even endure proceeding to angiography.


    If it wasn¡¯t performed now, it would be even more troublesome!


    What to do?


    Because the onset of pulmonary embolism is rapid, emergency treatment must be carried out immediately, followed by anticoagulant therapy, and surgical treatment if necessary!


    At that moment, the door to the resuscitation room suddenly opened, and Chen Cang turned around to see several department heads rushing in.


    Li Baoshan, Qin Xiaoyuan, Tao Zi, Niu Tianfu and others walked in!


    That morning, there was an annual meeting in the neighboring province, and they had set off early, only just now returning.


    After entering, Qin Xiaoyuan directly asked, ¡°Chen, what¡¯s the situation?¡±


    Chen Cang was about to speak when suddenly the patient¡¯s breathing became even more intense.


    The patient¡¯s face turned cyanotic, and he was in a state of breathlessness.


    The cardiac monitor started to beep alarmingly once again.


    Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s expression changed, and he hurried forward, assessed the patient¡¯s vital signs, and immediately said, ¡°Intubate the trachea!¡±


    Taken aback, Chen Cang immediately got up and began to prepare!


    At this juncture, why would this situation arise?


    Chen Cang was baffled!


    Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyuan turned to Lele and ordered, ¡°Prepare 15 mg dexamethasone for intramuscular injection, and 1 mg epinephrine for intramuscular injection!¡±


    Chen Cang didn¡¯t say much out loud, but inside, he was taken aback: This¡­ is this for an allergic reaction?


    When did the patient have an allergy?


    At that moment, the laryngoscope was ready, and Chen Cang, without further ado, prepared to intubate!


    And it was then that he suddenly noticed allergic rashes appearing at the pharyngeal area!


    Hoarseness and even swelling of the larynx had begun to appear!


    This way, it was only a matter of time before the upper respiratory tract would be completely obstructed!


    Suddenly, Chen Cang¡¯s scalp tingled with alarm!


    What kind of patient was this?


    If it wasn¡¯t for Dean Qin¡¯s timely arrival, Chen Cang wondered¡­ how long it would have taken him to react?


    That¡¯s emergency medicine for you; one must always be ready for resuscitation.


    Now, the patient was highly suspected to have a pulmonary embolism, already experiencing syncope. If an allergic reaction occurred, causing the respiratory tract to become abnormal, the mortality rate could rise to over ninety percent!


    After urgent treatment, about three minutes later, the patient¡¯s breathing stabilized.


    Chen Cang looked at Qin Xiaoyuan with some admiration and felt a sense of awe inside.


    Perhaps, this is what an expert looks like?


    At that time, Qin Xiaoyuan asked Chen Cang, ¡°What happened?¡±


    Chen Cang then briefed him on Yu Yi¡¯s condition.


    In conclusion, he said, ¡°I now highly suspect it¡¯s a pulmonary embolism!¡±


    Qin Xiaoyuan picked up the stethoscope to check, then looked at the ECG for a moment in silence, and nodded, saying,


    ¡°If you also consider the allergic rashes that just appeared, the likelihood is as high as ninety percent!¡±
